Chapter 60 Li Si and Han Fei

In a word, Meng Tian and Meng Yi were stunned.

The two of them realized later that they seemed to understand something. The prince was right, and they should first decipher Qi.

Ying Zheng sat up straight, staring at the border of Qi State, his eyes shining brightly.

"Master, Linzi in Qi State was known as the largest city in the world and the center of economy and literature before the rise of Xianyang."

"Since its establishment, Jixia Academy has been a place that scholars have longed for. Now that Xunzi is used as a sacrificial wine, many famous scholars are attracted to study in the palace."

"If the imperial examination system can make all the students from Jishang Academy come to Xianyang, why worry about the world's scholars not coming?"

Yingzheng's analysis is thorough and in place.

Even when he said these words, he was a little complacent.

He didn't think too much, and the thinking pattern had already been formed in his mind, and the situation was clearly displayed in front of him.

"What Zheng'er said coincides with what my teacher thinks!"

The first goal Qin Chuan thought of was Qi State.

Xunzi's reputation is well-known, and Qin Chuan came across. After 2000 years, Xunzi's name is still resounding in the ears.

Its influence in this era is self-evident!

As a sacrificial wine for the academy, many people went there admiring Xunzi's name, thinking that the Jixia Academy could change their fate.

But after several decades, those students of Jixia Academy should be mediocre or mediocre, and only a small part of them have made their mark in the imperial courts of various countries.

"Since the master has decided that the target is Qi, can you send someone to Linzi to disseminate the specific content of my imperial examination?"

Ying Zheng asked calmly.

Qin Chuan shook his head:

"There's no need to spread it intentionally, or it will disgust the scholars. In fact, it's enough to let two people from Jixia Academy know."

"Which two people?"

"Li Si and Han Fei!"
-
Qi State, Linzi.

As the largest city that rose in the Warring States Period, Linzi still has its heritage. When you first come to this city, you will feel the fragrance of ink and dignity.

The rise of Qi State was when Sun Bin was a military adviser!

At that time, the state of Qi besieged Wei to rescue Zhao, and Sun Bin's ambush soldiers intercepted and killed [-] Wei soldiers on the road that the soldiers of Wei must pass.

From then on, the crown of Wei State fell to the ground, and the new overlord of Qi State gradually rose!
And that time seems fleeting and indestructible.

Decades later, a man named Su Qin came from the country of Yan, and after more than ten years of intimidation, he finally used countermeasures to make the six-nation coalition army break Linzi.

From then on, the state of Qi fell into a slump!
Although the Qi State has recovered Linzi, its strength has long been inferior to before.

The news of the reform of Qin State's imperial examination system swept across the world like the wind, and naturally it also blew into Linzi.

Jixia School Palace.

In the courtyard of the academy, the students who had just finished class gathered together, chatting with each other.

"Have you heard? Qin is going to reform the official selection system!"

"Reform the official selection system!? What do you mean?"

"Great Qin used to be the same as the six kingdoms of Shandong, selecting officials by relying on the recommendation of the virtuous generals in the court, but now it has become an examination."

"That's right, that's right, I've also heard that the Qin National Congress will hold an exam in April this year, called the Imperial Examination."

"Those who pass are ranked from high to low: No. [-] scholar, role model, and Tanhua. It is said that the top ten can all be admitted to the Qin court as officials."

"Even if you can't enter Zhangtai Palace, you can still go to various territories of Qin State as local officials."

"."

Inside the Jixia Academy, gradually began to boil.

Everyone is talking about it.

"Your Majesty's order, Jixia Academy is not allowed to discuss the matter of the Qin State's imperial examination. If it is discovered, it will be punished as a crime of leaking military aircraft."

The originally quiet and comfortable academy suddenly rushed in with a group of soldiers from the Qi State, all of them vicious.

The leading general is still plausible!

After King Qi heard the news, he immediately realized that this was Qin's strategy and began to boycott the imperial examinations nationwide.

And the key point is naturally Jixia Academy!

When the students of Jixia Academy saw heavily armored soldiers breaking in with weapons, they immediately felt that the academy was no longer holy.

Once the sacred place of reading is controlled by the monarchy, it is destined to not go far!

"What is the general going to do?"

A man with white hair and beard, wearing a white shirt, and holding a bamboo slip in his hand came out of the school, looking like a fairy, with an air of dust.

"gentlemen!"

"See you sir!"

The students greeted each other in awe and respect.

Because this old man is none other than the leader of Jishang Academy, Mr. Xunzi, a great contemporary Confucian.

"Sacrifice Lord!"

The leader was taken aback for a moment, but still bent down respectfully to salute Xunzi.

Xunzi ignored him. He didn't care about the etiquette, but it was just perfunctory because of his status.

Frowning slightly, Xunzi continued to ask:
"Why did the general let soldiers break into our Jixia Academy with swords, threatening the safety of my students? What's the point?"

"Master Jijiu, we are just following orders, so please be considerate, Lord Jijiu."

"Order!? Whose order?"

"Naturally the king!"

Xunzi closed his eyes, even though he was full of knowledge, he felt a little helpless at this time.

The dispute between Qin State and Qi State should not affect the scholars, let alone hinder the scholars' understanding of learning.

"My Majesty's actions will only be counterproductive. Not only will this not isolate the students from the outside world, but it will also make them more curious. General, please leave first. After a while, the old man will enter the palace and ask the King to explain."

The leader thought for a while and hesitated.

After a long period of psychological struggle, he still nodded:
"Your Majesty ordered me not to hurt Lord Jijiu. Since Lord Jijiu ordered, I will just leave."

With a wave of his hand, the group of well-trained soldiers retreated together.

It seems that peace has been restored in the academy once again.

"gentlemen."

Xunzi waved his hand and smiled, signaling to everyone not to panic:
"You study hard. If there is anything, I will deal with the king. I will come back when I go, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Xunzi also walked out of Jixia Academy and went straight to King Qi Palace.

This episode made the students in the academy a little dazed, as if they didn't react from the shock at all.

It's just the news of Qin's reform. Why did the Qi royal court have such a big reaction?
Even the king was alarmed!

It is normal for all countries to reform their laws.

The reform of the imperial examination system in the Qin State this time is only a small-scale reform, which cannot be compared with the reform of the year.

Is your majesty making a fuss over a molehill?
This group of students still don't know why the Qi royal court is like this, because they only stand on their own point of view.

In the bedroom of Li Si and Han Fei, they were not affected by the events outside and were warming a pot of hot tea.

A brazier was burning in the room, and the teapot hanging on the brazier made the sound of boiling water, which was particularly ear-piercing.
 Ask for favorites, votes, rewards, and bookshelves, thank you all
