Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 403 The morning court session began, and Ying Zheng’s ideas were opposed by ministers!

Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard Zhang Han's words and said, "The number of talents selected in this imperial examination is almost enough."

"The ministers in the court must also be paying attention to this matter."

“There will definitely be ministers who will try every possible means to win over these talents.”

"Zhang Han, you need to send your Black Ice Team out to monitor these talents."

"If any of these talents defect to other ministers, be sure to note them down."

"I want to know these talents, which ones have not joined other ministers, and which ones have joined other ministers."

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and told him his story.

Zhang Han was stunned for a moment when he heard what the First Emperor said, but he quickly reacted with a look of admiration on his face.

Your Majesty wants to know the specific circumstances of these selected talents.

"promise!"

Zhang Han looked at the First Emperor and bowed.

There was a smile on Ying Zheng's face. He wanted to select and appoint those ministers who had not been wooed by other ministers to official positions.

The next day, outside Qilin Hall!
The ministers stood outside the hall, waiting for the eunuch to come out and tell everyone to enter the hall.

At this time, all the ministers had smiles on their faces. Nothing major had happened in the morning court sessions these days.

These ministers no longer have to worry about their future.

"Hundred officials enter the palace!"

Hearing the eunuch's loud shout, Fusu and other ministers walked into the Qilin Hall.

Everyone entered the Qilin Hall and knelt down in their seats.

Some ministers were chatting with each other in low voices with smiles on their faces.

"Your Majesty is here!"

Following the eunuch's loud shout, all the ministers sat up straight.

Ying Zheng, wearing a black dragon robe and carrying the emperor's sword on his waist, walked into the Qilin Hall, took a domineering step to the dragon throne and sat down.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Everyone loves you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When Fusu and other ministers heard what the First Emperor said, they stood up and knelt down again.

Ying Zheng looked at everyone in the Qilin Hall with a smile on his face, and when he saw Fusu, the smile on his face became even wider.

"My dear friends, what do you have to say?"

Ying Zheng looked at everyone and asked.

Everyone in the Qilin Hall looked at each other, and no minister stepped forward to ask for a comment.

The morning court sessions have gone so smoothly these past few days, and they don't want to cause any major trouble at this time.

"It seems that none of you have anything to report. In that case, I have something to ask."

"Xiao He!"

"Chen is here!"

When Xiao He heard the First Emperor calling his name, he immediately stood up and bowed.

"How is the Imperial Examination going?"

Ying Zheng looked at Xiao He with a smile on his face.

Ying Zheng was very familiar with the situation of the imperial examination.

For the next words, he had no choice but to ask Xiao He again.

"Your Majesty!"

"This time the imperial examination has reached the final stage, and the talents who have passed the examination have already appeared."

"These few days I have been working with these talented people who have passed the exam to finalize some matters, so Your Majesty can select officials from among them."

Xiao He looked at the First Emperor and told him about the progress of the imperial examination.

When the other ministers in Qilin Palace heard Xiao He's words, their faces turned serious.

The imperial examination was also very important to them.

Now we have progressed to the stage where talented people have passed the examinations. When Your Majesty selects officials from among these talents, they will be able to serve in the same court with them.

When some ministers heard Xiao He's words, they looked strange. When Ying Zheng heard Xiao He's words, he smiled.

"Xiao He, you did a great job."

"I am very confident that I will leave the imperial examination to you."

"I think it would be better if we could select officials from these talents and let them serve directly in Xianyang City."

"It's a bit inappropriate. I want to send these selected officials to some small cities."

"I also want to know whether these selected officials can perform well in small cities."

Ying Zheng looked at his ministers and expressed his thoughts.

The Qilin Hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to the First Emperor.

They didn't expect that His Majesty would actually send the selected officials to some small cities.

This disrupted the plans of some ministers, who were planning to win over some talents.

Make use of these talents for your own benefit. If they are sent to small cities, they will be much less useful to you.

"Your Majesty!"

"I, as an old minister, believe that these officials who are about to be selected should not be sent to small cities."

A gray-haired minister stood up and bowed to express his thoughts.

The other ministers looked at this minister, who was also an important official in the court.

Seeing the others looking at him, the gray-haired minister continued:
"Your Majesty's selection of talents is seen as a good thing by the people of Daqin."

"If Your Majesty sends these talents to small cities, some people will think that Your Majesty is not satisfied with these talents and exiled them to small cities."

"If this happens, I am worried that no one will come to take the imperial examination next time."

The gray-haired minister looked at the First Emperor and told him his reasons.

Some ministers nodded slightly when they heard what the minister said. They felt that what the gray-haired minister said made sense.

It would indeed cause some bad effects if talented people who passed the imperial examination were appointed as officials and sent to small cities.

Fusu looked at the minister with a hint of mockery on his face.

He knew about this minister and spoke out against it when Qin Shihuang was conquering the six kingdoms.

After the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, things became quiet again.

Fusu was well aware that someone had stood up to oppose the First Emperor's ideas again today.

This minister was not seeking any so-called influence at all; it was just that his father's intention had disrupted his plans.

Fusu was right. This minister was already preparing to recruit talents who had passed the imperial examination.

Thinking of this, Fusu felt admiration for his teacher. He was chatting with his teacher yesterday.

The teacher also mentioned this matter, and this time he was right again.

When Ying Zheng heard the minister's words, the smile on his face disappeared and he became calm.

As expected, after he expressed his ideas, there would inevitably be ministers who would come out to oppose them.

"Father, I have something to say."

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and that person was Fusu, who was standing in the front row of the ministers.

Zhang Han, who was standing on the other side of the First Emperor, was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

He now understood that the person His Majesty mentioned supporting yesterday, he should have thought of it long ago, must be Prince Fusu.

The method provided by Lin Xuan is given to Your Majesty, as Lin Xuan’s student.

Prince Fusu would naturally support this approach.

"Fusu, what do you have to say?"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu standing out with a smile on his face.

He expected Fusu to stand up.

The minister who had just opposed the First Emperor's idea also looked at Fusu.

The reason why Fusu stood up at this time was most likely because of his previous opposition.

"Your Majesty, I think your idea is very appropriate."

"Officials are selected from among those who have passed the examination."

"It is necessary to send them to small cities to see what they are capable of."
