my grandfather was qin shi huang

Chapter 222 Xiang Yu: Brother Longqie, there are people out there
Mao Dun seemed to be fine, and he was drinking and having fun with his father and the tribal leader as usual, and he didn't see anything strange about killing his wife and younger brother just now.

In the king's court, the tribal leaders who came to have a banquet would never have imagined that this prince, who was at the end of his rope and was about to become a display, would be so crazy.

Many people were still holding wine glasses and cordially toasting Maodun. Youxian King Motier came over with a smile on his face and told him to pay attention to his identity when he arrived in Xianyang, be cautious in his words and deeds, and be careful with Daqin's friends. The dignitaries interacted more to strive for more benefits for the Huns.

Maudun remained calm and responded one by one.

Motier only felt relieved.

Although this Prince Maodun is a distant relative of himself, he is arrogant and domineering, and he is not very close to him, the Youxian King. Now that he is gone, it is a good thing for him.

He has already started to think about which younger child in the family is suitable to marry the second prince Weiman.

Because of his eldest son's unusually cooperative attitude, Touman Shanyu was in a good mood, and even drank a few more glasses of wine. When the banquet was over, he even took his elder son's hand and went out to see off the guests in person.

"Father and uncles, do you think my personal guards are brave?"

Mao Dun let go of Man Chanyu's hand, walked to the side and stood beside the waiting guard, turned around, and looked expressionlessly at his father's big greasy face and drunken faces The tribal leaders who were seven or eight points drunk.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness suddenly mentioned this, and everyone couldn't help but startled slightly. Touman Shanyu thought that his eldest son was upset, and before leaving, he wanted to show his bravery again in front of everyone.He nodded disapprovingly, and praised perfunctorily.

"Your personal guards are carefully selected warriors in the clan, so they are naturally brave..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw his son take over his longbow from the side guards, and slowly drew out a long arrow.

"Recently, my son has led them to practice archery day and night. Today is a rare opportunity. I would like to invite my father and uncles to comment on the archery skills of these personal guards..."

There is nothing wrong with it!
Everyone stopped in a dignified manner, and Touman Chanyu also raised his stomach and waved his hands boldly.

"Can--"

He was just about to ask his eldest son if he wanted to prepare some prey for fun, when Mo Dun unhurriedly drew his longbow, the bowstring loosened, and the sound of gongs pierced the air!

Heading in the direction of Touman Chanyu!
Behind them, 79 personal guards subconsciously raised their hands and raised their bows, and the iron arrows pierced through the air——

Tou Manchanyu's eyes froze, and the final image was only a piece of blue sky and white clouds, and the chaotic and frightened cries coming from his ears.He didn't even think about it until his death, why his son dared to attack him suddenly.

But soon he didn't have to think about it anymore, the huge darkness slowly swallowed him, and the ground under him was soaked in blood.

Shocked!

The scene in front of them completely shocked everyone.

"Modun, you, you are so rebellious, killing the king and killing the father—"

King Youxian's voice was stern, and his hand was already pressing on the scimitar at his waist.Then, he saw Mao Dun glance at him coldly, and then heard a familiar sound of beeping...

The right virtuous king died.

This time, the scene was instantly shocked.

No one dared to come out to reprimand Mao Dun again, and everyone looked at the prince who suddenly turned his face in horror.

"Uncles, everyone has seen that my father died suddenly due to a serious illness. As the crown prince, I can only act in a hurry and inherit Shan Yu's position—"

Speaking of this, Mo Dun strolled to Tou Manchanyu's side, bent down, took off the king's seal on Touman Chanyu's body, and rubbed it carefully on the part of Touman's robe that was not stained with blood. Hold it up and show it around.

"Everyone, from now on, I will be Modu Shanyu, is there any objection?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, and there was a commotion in the crowd.

"Those who support me, please stand to the right, those who oppose, please stay where you are, I will never force you..."

As soon as Mao Dun said this, several of Man Chanyu's confidantes came out angrily.

"Modun, you killed the king and father, the gods and men are all angry, the world is punishing you, the immortal is above, and I will never spare you—let's go!"

When you're done, turn around and leave.

The few of them are Touman Shanyu's confidantes, they are loyal to Touman, each has a powerful tribe, and they are powerful in their hands. Naturally, they will not take a beast who kills the king and father in their eyes.

They were sure that without the support of themselves and others, Mao Dun would never want to secure this Shan Yu's position.After returning, he immediately supported the second prince Weiman, and raised troops to attack this rebellious dog thief!

However, as soon as they set off on their side, there was a sharp and familiar honking sound behind them.

Before they had time to turn around, they felt as if they had been stung by countless wasps behind them, and then their throats became sweet, and they fell directly to the ground.Looking at the tribal leaders who had become like hedgehogs in a blink of an eye, the rest of the people couldn't help but change their expressions in horror.

The cruel fact is before us, if you advance, you will live, if you retreat, you will die.

In the face of life and death, it is actually a good choice.

Everyone raised their feet in a tacit understanding, walked to the right, and swore allegiance to the crown prince, as the new Chanyu!
Mao Dun saw that the overall situation was certain, and immediately gathered [-] elite soldiers who belonged to him, took the tribal leader who had just sworn allegiance to him, cleaned up the tribes under Touman Chanyu and Prince Weiman, and married Touman Chanyu and Wyman's women, their children, were beheaded to death.

Modu's strength soared instantly, becoming a force that could influence the Huns.

Then, he coerced the crowd, annexed the tribal forces under Youxian King and Touman Shanyu's confidantes with the force of thunder, and completely stabilized the situation of the Huns.

Immediately, Mao Dun made his 11-year-old eldest son Tong Ji Porridge the crown prince, and asked people to accompany him with a large number of cattle, sheep and horses to escort the prince Tong Ji Porridge to Qin as the proton!

At the same time, he wrote to the first emperor, praying for the title.

……

At this time, Daqin, except for someone who secretly contributed to the flames, did not expect that such a rebellious farce would be staged in the north of the Great Wall.

Including the first emperor, everyone's eyes were on Daqin's first imperial examination.

On the first day, there are two general examinations.

Everyone has to face the same test paper, one is the legal provisions of Daqin, and the other is "Casting the Soul of the Army".The Great Qin ruled the country by law, even if Zhao Ying was willing to absorb the remnants of the six kingdoms, he was unwilling to recruit a group of law-blind people who did not understand government affairs to govern the people.

Of course, this is also a very important factor for the implementation of the imperial examination system this time.

Taking the law as the basis, although it will hurt the interests of some legalists, but it has not shaken the fundamentals of legalism.

As for "Casting the Soul of the Army"-whether you agree or not, as long as you want to take the imperial examination and seek a future, you must study and understand it. This is the red line.

If you fail in "Forging the Soul of the Army", you will be sentenced to death.

The next day's exam is the talent subject, the theory of examination strategy.

"If you were given a county and a county, how would you govern it? Please speak freely based on what you have learned."

Under the title, a total of sixteen counties including Lingnan, Shu County, Longxi County, Hexi County, Hedong County, Dai County, Yuyang County, Sishui County, Kuaiji County, and Qi County are listed.

And a series of prominent contradictions and problems currently faced by these sixteen counties.

There are no restrictions on schools or regions, you can speak freely, as long as you can say something, you can stand out, have the opportunity to become a subordinate official of the county, and get the opportunity to implement your own policies and display your talents.

The third day is the specialist exam.

Including arithmetic, yin and yang, law, agriculture, medicine, and Mohism, there are a total of six disciplines. It can be said that except for warlocks and Taoism, it covers almost all mainstream schools of thought today.

As long as they perform well, they will be admitted based on merit, and these six subjects are also the most admitted.

Zhao Ying's suggestion is that the more the better!
Nowadays, there are not too many officials in Daqin, but too few.In the six countries outside of Guanzhong, government orders can hardly be sent to the countryside, and local affairs are still in the hands of those local landlords and nobles.

At the same time as the liberal arts exam, the martial arts exam was also being held simultaneously.

The first way is to lift the stone lock.

From tens of catties to two hundred catties.

What is important is strength!

Fighting in the army and competing with two people are two completely different concepts. It is better to be powerful than to be fancy. When the enemy pushes over like a wall, if you are strong enough, you can directly break a bloody path.

Therefore, almost without exception, all the famous generals in ancient times were big and tall.

Not to mention anything else, Xiang Yu is only 1.9 meters four, standing there, standing out from the crowd like a chicken.

In this level, Xiang Yu and Long will join forces victoriously!
"Brother Xiang, I didn't expect you to be here!"

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, Long Qie did not expect to meet Xianyang in the martial arts examination room, he couldn't help being surprised and happy, and hurried forward to salute.Xiang Yu couldn't help but cupped his hands in embarrassment.

Before, he had vowed to Long Qie and Lu Matong that he would never take any imperial examinations.

As a result, I turned around and met——

Fortunately, Long didn't tease him, nor looked down on him, but was very happy for him.

"Brother Xiang, it's really great that you can come here—with Brother Xiang's bravery, who is the opponent of the heroes in this world? I'm afraid there will be no suspense for the champion of martial arts this time..."

"It's such a big breath, and I'm not afraid that the wind will flash my tongue!"

Before Xiang Yu could answer, a disdainful sneer came from the side.Hearing this, Long Qi couldn't help raising his head angrily, only to see a burly man with a full beard looking over without giving in.

If this had been changed before, Xiang Yu would definitely fight back without hesitation.Only this time, he subconsciously looked up at the tall grandson of the emperor sitting on the school stage.

Then, under Long Qie's surprised gaze, he shook his head dullly at Long Qie.

"Brother Long, don't underestimate the heroes of this world..."

Then he turned his head and looked at the provocative brawny man.

Silently walked to the two largest stone locks, bent down, grabbed one with each hand, held it easily in his hand, even waved it twice, and then silently threw it back to the original place amidst the loud applause around him .

This move completely stunned all the candidates present in the martial arts exam.

For a stone lock of two hundred catties, being able to lift it and being able to dance are two completely different concepts.

"Who is your Excellency—"

The stout man's face finally moved, and he cupped his hands towards Xiang Yu.

"A certain Xiang Yu—"

Hearing this, the man nodded, tightened his belt, took a deep breath, walked up to the two stone locks that Xiang Yu had just dropped, shouted loudly, exerted force with both hands, and then successfully lifted the two stone locks into the air .

Obviously, he also wanted to imitate Xiang Yu and waved twice, but failed.

But even so, there was still a burst of applause.

Even Xiang Yu couldn't help giving him a high look, and finally spoke up.

"Who is your Excellency—"

"A certain Donghai County Zhongli Mei!"

On the high platform, Zhao Ying, who had been paying attention to the martial arts exam, couldn't help raising his brows, and looked at the man who was competing with Xiang Yu with interest, and the advisors left and right.

"Who is this person—"

"Zhong Limei, Yilu Township, Qu County, Donghai County."

Naturally, there was a small official who accompanied him to report quickly. Zhao Ying nodded slightly and praised casually.

"It turned out to be him, a rare talent..."

The little official at the side silently wrote down the name Zhong Limei, drew a circle on the roster, and made a simple note: His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, appreciates it very much.

Then the list was passed on silently.

After a martial arts exam, in addition to Xiang Yu who was ordered by him to take the imperial exam, Zhao Ying saw several familiar names, two friends of Xiang Yu's later generations, Long Qi and Zhong Limei, and one, who did not know how Lu Matong, an enemy who has a relationship with Xiang Yu.

It is the lucky one who was given his head by Xiang Yu in the history of later generations.

In addition to these few people, there are a few people who performed extremely well.One is Jiang Shi, from Qi County, one is Zhao Qin, from Hedong, and the other is Gao Yuanwu, from Yuyang County!
Although not as good as Xiang Yu, Long Qie and Zhong Limei, they can still lift a stone lock of two hundred catties and draw a strong bow of three stones!
In addition to stone locks, horseback riding and shooting, there are also duels.

All of them rode steeds uniformly provided by the imperial court, and held white wax poles wrapped in cloth heads and dipped in cinnabar, or long knives or short swords.

Although martial arts are decided on the spot, but there are so many people.

Anyone who feels that he has a lot of strength and a bit of bravery in the countryside is willing to come to Xianyang to try his skills and win a future. This imperial examination is the final shortcut.

Although, in this era, there is no such thing as a shortcut to the south.

Therefore, Zhao Ying, as the chief examiner of Wenju and Wuju, naturally couldn't be on the spot every day, except for a little inspection on the first day, he went around the major examination rooms, and left the specific matters to himself The four deputy examiners in the palace went directly to the palace to help the first emperor handle government affairs.

With four helpers, Wei Liaozi, Wang Jian, Li Si and Meng Yi, he felt at ease.
