Eight Magical Techniques of Yin and Yang of the Bright Moon in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 244 Zhao Gao Li Si Da Qin imperial examination!

In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xianyang City, Li Si sat on the main seat, looked up at the uninvited guest in front of him and said, "I don't know why the order of the CRRC Mansion is here today, but what is your majesty's order?"

Zhao Gao smiled when he heard the words, and replied: "Your Majesty has no edict today, I just came here to have a few words with Lord Xiangguo."

Li Si glanced at the other party, and then asked, "Then what advice does Mr. Zhao have?"

Zhao Gao said rather humbly: "I don't dare to teach you, but there is one thing I want to tell my lord."

"It's okay to say the CRRC government order, I'm all ears."

Li Si said something, then picked up a cup of tea on the table and took a sip.

Zhao Gao's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a slight smile: "Your Excellency should also know that His Majesty attaches great importance to this year's imperial examination. In order to show the great Qin's love for talents, the winner of this scientific examination will definitely be ranked in the imperial court, and even become a member of the imperial court. Minister."

"This official has known about this for a long time, and it is a blessing to be able to select more talents for Daqin."

While talking, Li Si took a sip of his tea.

Zhao Gao smiled, and said in that characteristic feminine voice: "Then, does Xiangguo know who is the chief examiner for this exam?"

Hearing this, Li Si's hand holding the cup paused for a moment, then returned to normal, raised his eyebrows without any trace and said, "Your Majesty has already made a decision?"

Zhao Gao nodded lightly: "Yes, Your Majesty has already decided to let the national teacher Ye Yan be the chief examiner of this big exam."

Hearing this, Li Si's eyes changed slightly, and his voice could not help but calm down a bit, he said: "Master Zhao came here on a special trip today to tell me about this matter?"

Zhao Gao got up and said: "The reason why this servant came here to tell the Lord about this is because I feel wronged for you."

"What do you mean by that?"

Li Si asked with a frown.

Zhao Gao took a step forward: "Xiangguo is the head of all officials and has the power to supervise the imperial court. You should be the chief examiner of this big exam. Although the national teacher is superior, it is not as good as you." Qualified to manage the matter."

Li Si heard the words, and said calmly: "Master Zhao, please be careful. Your Majesty's arrangement must have deep meaning, how can we speculate on our own?"

When Zhao Gao heard this, his face remained unchanged and he said: "What the prime minister taught me is that this matter is really not something that lower officials should discuss."

Having said this, his complexion paused slightly, and then he continued: "It's just that I have always admired you, and what I said today that shouldn't be said is also worried about you."

Hearing this, Li Si's eyes flickered, as if he didn't care much, he said: "It's just a mere chief examiner, how can there be any threat?"

Zhao Gao replied, "It's fine if you're just an examiner, but what matters is your Majesty's attitude.

Presumably Lord Xiangguo can also feel that His Majesty does not like the nobles left behind, let alone let them monopolize the official career.So in recent years, people from poor families have been promoted, and you should have a deep understanding of this. "

"That's a good move, what's the problem?"

Li Si asked a question. He himself was born in a poor family, and he was a student of Lu Buwei after he studied under Master Xun, so he didn't have any aversion to foreigners and the children of the poor family.

Zhao Gao replied: "Your Majesty's move is naturally due to the country's merits, whether it is the same carriage, the same script, or the opening of the imperial examination, it is a major event that will be credited for thousands of years.

It's just that with the prosperity of the humble scholars, many people will definitely go to the court, and they may even occupy high positions in the future.It stands to reason that you are the head of civil servants, and all officials are naturally bound by you, but..."

Hearing that the other party only spoke halfway through, Li Si frowned slightly and asked, "But what?"

Zhao Gao continued: "For thousands of years, the career path has been controlled by the aristocratic family, and now His Majesty has opened up a path to the sky for the children of the humble family, which will surely attract the applause of all people.

It can be predicted that there will be many civil talents who will be excavated and enter the court to assist the government.

And for those civilians who soared into the sky, the chief examiner of the National Teacher is their great benefactor.In this way, within 20 years, more than half of the civil and military positions in the Manchu Dynasty may be occupied by poor families.

And at that time, are those people headed by the prime minister, or are they obeying the national teacher? "

These words can be said to be murderous, even with Li Si's composure, his face changed, and a bit of chill flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his calm.

He cupped his hands slightly and said in a deep voice: "The subjects of the world are under His Majesty's rule, so naturally they must obey His Majesty's orders."

"Xiangguo Gaoyi, it's a low-level official who is a villain in vain."

Zhao Gao echoed with a smile, but didn't say anything more.

Li Si glanced at the other party lightly and said: "Master Zhao just said that it is out of duty. If you think we are ministers in the same palace, the truth will not be pursued. I will pretend that I have not heard what I said today. Please come back."

Seeing that he issued the order to drive away the guests, Zhao Gao was not displeased at all, he just smiled lightly and cupped his hands: "In that case, the servant will leave."

After speaking, he saluted, then turned and left.But the moment he turned around, the corners of his pale mouth were slightly raised.

Although the other party hid it well, the fear and worry in his eyes could not be hidden. What he said today was not to make the other party make a decision immediately, but to plant a seed in his heart.

Although Li Si was shrewd, he was too powerful.This is the biggest weakness of the opponent, and the chief examiner of the imperial examination is a stimulus, which can make him react to maintain his current status and interests.

After all, I and Ye Yan have already had a grudge, and if I can pull Li Siye here, it will undoubtedly greatly strengthen my own strength. Only with this common opponent can we have the possibility of mutual cooperation or mutual use...

In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and the first imperial examination of the Great Qin Empire was launched amidst the cheers of all the people.

All the people couldn't believe that one day they could get such an opportunity. If they were lucky enough to be among the top, they would be able to soar into the sky, stepping from the bottom to the upper class.

This is the best chance to change their destiny. People who originally hated the Qin Empire have gradually changed their attitudes.

After all, even before the demise of the Six Kingdoms, it was impossible for ordinary people to be in the imperial court. Such an inspiring policy made the people of the world draw closer to Great Qin invisibly.

The first round of the township examination went smoothly, and Ye Yan, as the chief examiner, took charge of the overall situation. From the questioning to the supervision, all the officials and nobles who dared to play tricks were all taken down.

Since Yingzheng lent all the shadow guards to him, of course he should give full play to their role, and deal with all those who cheated and favored others severely...
