Daqin: Queen Mother, you don’t want to enter the priest’s workshop, do you?

In the end, Ying Zheng just locked up those ministers and retreated.

It's just that in the next few days, the question of meeting taxes was never mentioned again.

The one who stopped Ying Zheng was naturally Ying Xi.

The reason why he stopped Ying Zheng was because he suddenly thought of using this matter to examine those candidates.

He wanted to see what opinions these candidates had on tax reduction and exemption without being recognized.

Sure enough, the students who had already half-stepped into the court hall started talking after hearing about this matter.

Of course, there are pros and cons.

Support and opposition, these two opinions, Yingxi, have no prejudice. What he cares about is the reasons given by these students.

Most of these students are against it.

Their objections are similar to what Ying Zheng said at the beginning, which will arouse the opposition of the soldiers.

For these students, Ying Xi did not look down on them, but felt that these students were of high standard.

Because they have been able to think about things at the level of the whole Daqin.

He abolished the recommendation and opened the imperial examination, and the goal he wanted to achieve was to select officials for Daqin who could be considered for Daqin.

And those who support tax reduction and exemption are considered from the perspective of the common people.

They believed that the people were already suffering, and they had no reason to fight against Qin, and they should not be punished like this.

Ying Xi was also very satisfied with the candidates who had this opinion.

Because these candidates can consider things from the perspective of ordinary people.

Although the opinions of these two candidates are not comprehensive enough, they are biased.

But it is precisely because these two kinds of candidates have both, and after the matter is put on the table, there is such a solution.

But after wandering around for a few laps, Ying Xi didn't hear a better solution.

Back at Xianyang Palace, Ying Xi told Ying Zheng what he had seen and heard.

Ying Zheng was very pleasantly surprised to hear that the students were able to think about the matter of meeting taxes from these two aspects.

Those ministers in the court are not even as good as those students!

"The widow can't wait to meet them."

Ying Xi smiled faintly: "Father, my son has already thought about the palace examination."

"Oh? Say it!"

Ying Zheng was very excited. He handed over the question of the imperial examination to Ying Xi. He originally thought that Ying Xi would think about it after he came back from Qi.

Unexpectedly, Ying Xi thought of it now.

Ying Xi smiled faintly, this is what he thought of after wandering around.

"The question in the palace examination is about what to do with taxes!"

Ying Xi went on to explain the reason: "These students now have their own views and opinions."

"During the palace examination, father, you should first ask their opinions, and then divide them into two sides and let them debate with each other."

It was the first time Ying Zheng heard of this method, and his eyes lit up.

"Xi'er, what do you mean, through their debate, come up with the best solution?"

"That's just one aspect."

Ying Xi nodded, then shook his head again: "More importantly, when they are arguing, you must see their true nature!"

As he said that, Ying Xi looked at Ying Zheng: "Father, my son thinks that these people's level of knowledge is sufficient, but we still don't know anything about what kind of people they are."

"If wisdom can be used for the right way, that's great. But if it's a person with bad character, then if he is allowed to enter the court as an official, it will be a disaster!"

"When the court debates, for the title of No. [-] Scholar, they will definitely do everything they can."

"And at this time, they will also expose their usual disguised faces. Maybe not all of them, but the so-called knowing the whole leopard from a glimpse is enough."

After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng nodded slowly, "Xi'er is right!"

He had to admit that what Ying Xi said was absolutely correct.

If the ministers standing in the hall today have no talent at all, it is naturally impossible.

But what about talent?

Their kind of selfish people, the more talented they are, the more harmful they will be to Daqin!

Therefore, character is also extremely important!

"It's a good thing that Xi'er reminded the widow, otherwise we will make a big mistake." Ying Zheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"That's not enough."

Ying Xi smiled and said, "Father, have you forgotten that we are the final decision makers."

"If they are good, they will live in peace. But if they really miss it, there will be villains who harmed Daqin. I wonder if the execution ground at Caishikou has been prepared."

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and then his face relaxed.

Yes, how could he forget about this matter?

If such villains really appeared, they would be killed!

"Xi'er, my heart is at ease!"

Ying Zheng let out a long sigh of relief, and then looked at Ying Xi: "Xi'er, have you prepared the congratulatory gift for your grandfather?"

Ying Xi nodded with a smile: "It has been prepared according to the requirements of the father."

"Okay, so when are you going to leave?"

"In two days, I have to meet Mr. Xun." Ying Xi said.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, "Well, I really should see him."

Chapter 424 From Admiration to Worship

Ying Xi nodded. The guards of the Prince's Mansion had told him that when he and Han Xin were outside, Xunzi came to him several times.

I have been very busy the past few days when I came back, so I forgot about Xunzi all of a sudden.

Ying Xi was a little ashamed, but before he left, he finally remembered this and came to Xianyang Academy.

Knocked on the door, and soon someone answered.

The door opened, and Ying Xi looked at the person in front of him, a little surprised.

It's Fu Nian.

Ying Xi knew that Fu Nian was a loyal follower of Xunzi.

But that was before.

After Xunzi betrayed traditional Confucianism and followed him on the path of new Confucianism, Fu Nian was very disappointed.

The reason why he didn't do anything to Fu Nian was because Fu Nian was Xunzi's disciple after all. Although the two have different ways now, the relationship they used to have was not fake.

So Ying Xi left Fu Nian to Xunzi to deal with.

Unexpectedly, Fu Nian was still in the academy and did not leave.

Fu Nian was more surprised to see Ying Xi than Ying Xi saw him.

After talking with Xunzi that day, he left angrily.

But after calming down, he returned to the academy again.

Of course, he didn't want to compromise with Xunzi, but he wanted to bring his husband who had gone astray back to the right path.

A few days ago, Fu Nian was very excited when he saw Xunzi went to look for Yingxi several times but failed to see him.

As long as Xunzi can't see Yingxi, then the so-called New Confucianism will definitely not succeed!

Unexpectedly, Ying Xi came to the door by himself.

Fu Nian glanced at Ying Xi, turned around and left without saying a word.

Ying Xi didn't bother to argue with him, so he went straight to Xunzi.

Xunzi was frowning at his desk, thinking about the new Confucianism left to him by Ying Xi.

He didn't lift his head when he heard the sound.

"Fu Nian, you don't need to persuade me anymore."

Ying Xi smiled slightly: "Mr. Xun, it's me."

Hearing this voice, Xunzi was taken aback for a moment, then he raised his head suddenly, his face full of surprise.

"His Royal Highness, you are back!"

While speaking, Xunzi had already jumped up, almost rushing in front of Ying Xi.

Ying Xi was a little surprised by this excitement.

As for?

Xunzi was so excited that he almost cried.

As for, too much for!

A few days ago, after he read the things Ying Xi left him, he immediately fell in admiration for Ying Xi.

What Ying Xi summed up was more thorough and clear than what he, a great Confucian in the world, could see!

There are even some things on it that even he can't understand.

So he hurried to the Prince's Mansion, wanting to ask Ying Xi to clarify his doubts.

Unexpectedly, Ying Xi never came back.

After doing this for five consecutive days, he didn't waste this time and shut himself up in his room every day to meditate.

But helplessly, his knowledge is limited, and he still can't think of the mystery.
