Chapter 85

As the weather gets warmer, the day of the imperial examination finally arrives.

This is Daqin's first imperial examination, and it has attracted even more attention than Qin Xiaogong's pursuit of talents.

Early in the morning, all relevant agencies of Qin Ting began to work hard with their feet on the back of their heads.

In order to avoid suspicion, Qin Chuan did not participate in tracking the progress of the imperial examination.

But for Qin Wang Yingyiren, this is a good opportunity to select talents and appoint talents, so it is very important.

That's why the prime minister's mansion sent someone to invigilate the exam, and Lu Buwei naturally became the chief examiner.

Although Lu Buwei is chasing fame and fortune, he is also sincerely loyal to Ying Yiren.

Especially for such a big event, Lu Buwei certainly didn't dare to neglect it.

Since the first battle against the Zhou royal family, Lu Buwei has been thriving in both prestige and prestige, and is respected by the government and the public.

Using the person they valued the most as the chief examiner, the students also saw Ying Yiren's serious attitude.

There was still an hour before the start of the exam, and Lu Buwei entered the side hall of Zhangtai Palace with a selected examiner.

Ying Yiren also woke up very early, feeling refreshed, and said with a slight smile:

"This imperial examination is the first time for Daqin to select talents through examinations. It can be said to be a breakthrough. You must take it seriously and select talents for my Daqin's use, so as not to be opportunistic and misleading."

Everyone dared not answer.

Only Lu Buwei responded softly:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, everything has been prepared. The people who come to the imperial examination this time are more powerful than all the kings in the world seeking talents. All scholars in the world hope to use the imperial examination to reach the sky and become the king's ministers!"

Ying Yiren smiled slightly, with a kind expression on his face.

Thinking of the countless people available to Daqin in the future, the joy can no longer be concealed.

Lu Buwei suddenly showed a worried expression, sighed and said:

"Your Majesty, Lord Weiyang has committed a crime. There are many discordant voices in the Ying clan. It seems that they have gathered enough energy to fight against the imperial examination."

Ying Yiren stared at Lu Buwei and said:

"The Ying clan has always been reluctant to accept it, which is understandable. After all, the imperial examination system has blocked their shortcut to enter the court, but if they want to take the opportunity to make trouble and disturb the order of the examination room, I believe they will not dare."

The fate of Mr. Weiyang is a lesson learned from others!

Those high-ranking officials will inevitably be punished, let alone those who are not of high status and are dispensable to Ying Yiren.

If they hadn't been reincarnated well and were born with the surname Ying, they might not have been favored by the royal family in this life.

"This time the imperial examination, I am a child with the surname Ying, can anyone apply for the exam?"

Lu Buwei laughed and said:
"This group of people don't look at the usual cursing, but there are also a few wise people among them. There are people from the surname Ying clan who signed up, but very few."

Ying Yi said:

"If the children of the Ying family are up-to-date, they can be named on the gold list, and the impression of the Ying family on the imperial examination will be greatly changed. By the way, I heard that there is also a servant in Mr. Qin Chuan's mansion who participated in the imperial examination?"

puff
Lu Buwei actually laughed unkindly.

"Your Majesty, this man's name is Li Si. He is a high-ranking student of Xunzi's school in Jixia. He is not a classmate with the young master of South Korea. After entering the Qin Dynasty, he entered the Qin residence. Time has wasted the knowledge learned, and this exam was not favored by the outside world, and even booed."

"Is there such a thing!?"

Ying Yiren is very interested, but he is completely different from what the world thinks.

Qin Chuan's way of teaching and educating people is different from others, and the truth of being a human being is often hidden in the details of life.

He didn't see how Qin Chuan taught Ying Zheng, but Zheng'er's knowledge and insight seemed to be growing stronger every day.

"Sir, what do you think of this Li Si?"

Lu Buwei didn't even think about it, he already had a calculation in his heart:

"This official is not very familiar with Li Si, but his reputation is great. The world has rumored that he is a celebrity in the world. After entering the Qin Dynasty, the official did not pay attention to him, but he is good at work and industrious. Perhaps Li Si has his own ideas about political affairs. Unique insights, but this exam, Li Si, who is humble and honest, can't make any waves."

Ying Yiren nodded, but did not refute.

Everyone sees the situation differently.

Standing at different angles, you will get different conclusions, which is the same as the contention of a hundred schools of thought.

"Among the people who come to the examination this time, are there any popular people, or are there any people who are valued by the prime minister and think that they can enter the royal family in the future to share with the widow?"

Lu Buwei thought for a moment and said:

"This time Fanji came to study in the palace, there are countless great talents in the world, and this humble official can't say for a while."

"The examination room is like a battlefield, so let's see the outcome!"
-
The time for the exam is coming.

Li Siben wanted to say goodbye to Qin Chuan, and he could listen to his husband's instructions by the way, but he was a little disappointed to see Qin Chuan's room door was closed.

Shaking his head, Li Si turned around and left.

No one in the Qin residence cheered for Li Si, because in the hearts of these servants, Li Si had the same identity as them.

They are all servants.

Arriving at the examination room soon, there was already a sea of ​​people in front of the examination room, and there were endless discussions.

"Brother Liu, how are you preparing?"

"Well, I have read a lot of books, but no one can grasp the pulse of the king and the prime minister. I don't know what kind of questions will be asked. I hope it can be simpler."

"Qin State's imperial examination is very sensational. Look over there, there are people from Taoism and military strategists coming to take the exam."

"It's really strange. Taoists should study mechanics, and military strategists should go to war. Why do they come to take exams?"

"Let's join in the fun, I really thought good things could happen to them."

Li Si heard it in his ears, but he felt mixed feelings in his heart.

It's none of your business when people come to take the exam, it's your turn to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks here.

Coincidentally, someone soon noticed Li Si.

"Look who is that?!"

"Who is it!?"

"Li Si, a famous scholar in Jixia Academy, it is said that this person is arrogant and has been studying in Jixia Academy for many years."

"I didn't expect him to come to take the imperial examination."

"puff"

"I heard that Li Si is now serving as a servant in the Qin Mansion. He really has no vision. When I enter the Prime Minister's Mansion as a resident, the Prime Minister will give us time to study."

"Yes, yes, but this Li Si, I heard that Qin Chuan asked him to work every day, doing all kinds of dirty work."

"Hahaha, most of them will fail!"

"Leave him alone, look, there is someone coming ahead."

No matter what outsiders said, Li Si just took these harsh words as deaf ears and didn't take them to heart.

In front, the examiner has come out and started to roll the roll:
"Everyone is quiet. Anyone who hears the name enters the examination room, obeys the order of the examination room, and prohibits loud noises. Anyone who dares to disobey will be disqualified from the examination immediately."

"Wang Hui, Zhao Jianren, and Li Tie in the first examination room."

"Sixth Exam Room Li Si"
