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

Chapter 405 Lin Xuan's guess! The Imperial Censor who refuses to give up!

When Fusu heard Li Si's words, he smiled, said a few words to Li Si and others, and then left the Qilin Hall.

He also wanted to tell his teacher what happened in the morning court today.

Xianyang City, Fusu Mansion.

In the garden, Lin Xuan was looking at the military book in his hand.

"Tap Tap!"

Suddenly, he heard footsteps. Lin Xuan looked up and saw Fusu walking in with a smile on his face.

"teacher!"

Fusu came in front of Lin Xuan and bowed.

"Sir, please sit down!"

Lin Xuan poured Fusu a glass of wine and a smile appeared on his face.

Fusu picked up the wine bottle and drank it all, then looked at his teacher Lin Xuan and said:
"Teacher mentioned to the emperor this morning that officials will be selected from the talents of the imperial examination and sent to small cities."

"Sure enough, a minister stood up to object, and the students followed the teacher's instructions."

"He spoke out in support of the emperor and rejected those ministers who opposed him."

"The emperor has asked Li Si to draft an edict. Once the outstanding talents in the imperial examination are selected as officials, they will be sent to small cities."

Fusu looked at his teacher Lin Xuan and told him what happened in the morning court.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Fusu's words. He had already guessed the result.

Qin Shi Huang and Fusu had the same idea, and other ministers could not stop them.

"Those ministers who oppose it will not give up and will certainly select and win over those they think are capable people."

"After all, capable talents will perform well even if they are sent to a small city. Your Majesty will naturally transfer such talents back to Xianyang City."

"Those ministers who were wooed are just waiting for a while."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and expressed what those ministers who wanted to win over talented people were thinking.

When Fusu heard what his teacher said, his face turned a little gloomy.

“If these ministers really do this, these talents are likely to be won over.”

"After all, these ministers have several unmarried daughters in their families, so it is possible that they use their daughters as a means to win them over."

Fusu looked at his teacher and expressed his concerns.

When Lin Xuan heard Fusu's words, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Sir, don't worry."

"Since Your Majesty knows how to use this method, he will naturally think of this."

"My lord, I believe you have not forgotten the Black Ice Terrace. There are many powerful guards in the Black Ice Terrace."

"My guess is correct. Your Majesty will send Zhang Han to dispatch the guards from the Black Ice Terrace."

"Monitor every talent who may be selected as an official, and if you find any talent colluding with the ministers."

"Even if this talent is selected by His Majesty to be an official, he will not have the opportunity to return to Xianyang City to serve as an official."

"You can rest assured, sir!"

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and expressed his guess.

Lin Xuan still found Heibingtai interesting, as all the guards in Heibingtai were powerful.

Now is the time for the guards of Heibingtai to show their abilities.

Fusu nodded slightly when he heard what his teacher Lin Xuan said. He felt relieved since his father would send Heibingtai.

"In that case, students have nothing to worry about."

"I have nothing to do today, so I will drink a few cups with my teacher."

Fusu said as he poured Lin Xuan a glass of wine.

"I won't come home until I get drunk today!"

Lin Xuan had a smile on his face as he spoke. He was naturally happy to have someone drinking with him.

Xianyang City, the residence of the Grand Censor!

In the hall, the Imperial Censor Liu Bai sat in the main seat.

On both sides of him sat several men who looked like scholars. They were all retainers under Liu Bai.

As an important official in the imperial court, he naturally has some retainers in his mansion.

To be precise, any minister with a decent official position in Xianyang City would keep some retainers. This was also a topic of boasting among these ministers.

"Everyone, you already know what happened in this morning's court session."

"My previous plan has been disrupted. What else do you have to do?"

Liu Bai looked at these guests and told them his problems.

When he heard His Majesty's words at the court this morning, he wanted to stand up and oppose them.

As a result, some ministers stood up to oppose him, so he did not stand up again.

He thought that the minister's opposition would dissuade His Majesty.

Unexpectedly, Fusu stood up to support His Majesty at this time, and the minister's opposition became a joke.

Finally, His Majesty issued an edict to send officials selected from among the talented people to the small city.

When the guests heard Liu Bai's words, they looked at each other.

Before, they had come up with a plan for Liu Bai, once those talents passed the imperial examination.

Just choose an excellent one from them to win over, and Liu Bai also agreed to this method.

Now even if these talents are selected, they will be sent to small cities.

In this case, it would be meaningless to try to win them over.

"Everyone, don't you have anything to say?"

Liu Bai looked at the guests who were silent, frowned slightly and said.

The hall suddenly became quiet. After a while, a guest said, "I think Master Liu should still follow the original plan."

"We still have to choose one to win over from among those officials who have passed the imperial examination."

A retainer with a goatee looked at Liu Bai and expressed his thoughts.

Hearing this man's words, Liu Bai and several other guests were stunned.

"Brother Zhang, His Majesty has decreed that officials selected from among the talents will be sent to small cities."

"Once you are sent to a small city, you will be unable to help Lord Liu."

"In this way, it will not be of any benefit to you, my Lord, to win over talents."

The retainer sitting opposite the man with goatee spoke out in rebuttal.

The goat-bearded retainer ignored this retainer and looked at Liu Bai again.

They are all Liu Bai's followers, so he still has to listen to Liu Bai.

Liu Bai looked at the goat-bearded retainer and said, "Brother Zhang, I can recruit one of these talents, but I need a reason."

When the other guests heard Liu Bai's words, they looked at the guest with goat beard.

Hearing Liu Bai's words, a smile appeared on the face of the man with goat beard.

There is also competition among these retainers to see who can solve the problem for Liu Bai.

Whoever wins will have a higher status, and he wanted to use this opportunity to make himself higher in status than the other retainers.

"Your Majesty!"

"This time, Your Majesty is going to select officials from among the talents and send them to small cities for training. This is also a test for these talents."

"That person has performed well, and your majesty will transfer him back to Xianyang City."

"Your Excellency can select the most capable one among them and win over this talent, and then wait until this talent returns to Xianyang City from the small city."

"It will be of great help to you. All you need to do is wait for this talent for a while."

The goat-bearded retainer looked at Liu Bai and expressed his thoughts.

After hearing what the man with goat beard said, Liu Bai pondered for a moment. He felt that what the man with goat beard said made sense.

All he had to do was wait a little longer. Once the talents he had won over returned to Xianyang City, they would be able to help him in the court.

The other guests looked at Liu Bai's expression and said to themselves, "Not good!"

It seemed that Liu Bai agreed with the goat-bearded servant's suggestion.

The man with the goatee also saw Liu Bai's expression, and knew that Liu Bai was moved, so a smile appeared on his face.

Since Liu Bai felt that his proposal made sense, he wanted to add fuel to the fire and make Liu Bai do as he proposed.
