Chapter 257 Conquering the Hearts of All Scholars
at the same time, Young Master Fusu also fell into deep thought. There was one thing he was extremely curious about. He was very curious, what question did the teacher ask in the imperial examination?
Subsequently, Young Master Fusu looked at Zhao Che again with admiration and confusion on his face.
He found,
The teacher at this moment, Zhao Che, still looked calm and confident as usual. It seems that in the eyes of the teacher, there are no problems in the world. All problems can be easily solved in front of the teacher. This is also one of the things he admires about Zhao Che. Since today is the site of the first imperial examination, So all the civil and military officials were present today.
When Meng Tian heard the words of the First Emperor Ying Zheng, his waist straightened involuntarily, and the corners of his mouth also raised slightly. Just now, His Majesty mentioned his younger brother Meng Yi. Moreover, Meng Yi was asked to give questions to all the candidates. His Majesty did not ask about this matter, nor did he discuss the questions with Zhao Che in advance. You know, the top three will directly enter the imperial court as officials. What he could also see was what kind of trust and reliance His Majesty gave Meng Yi.
and, Meng Yi is from the Meng family and is his brother. This time, Meng Yi brought glory to the Meng family again. Even he, as the elder brother, felt particularly honored. Today's court meeting was the highlight of his life. Naturally, Young Master Hu Hai really heard what his father said.
only,
Because he is still young and his city is not deep,
He didn't think much of it. He just felt a little bored and didn't want to watch these candidates answer questions. Later, the young master Hu Hai glanced at the left prime minister Li Si inadvertently and said,
He found that the face of Prime Minister Zuo Li Si was ugly. Did Li Si encounter any problems again?
Young Master Hu Hai couldn't help but curse in his heart. Since Zhao Che came, Li Si seems to be a little incompetent. In the court and in front of his father, he has become less and less important. Young Master Hu Hai is quite concerned about Li Si's mood.
Because this Li Si is one of his few supporters. After hearing the words of the First Emperor Ying Zheng, Tongwuhou Wang Ben also nodded vigorously in agreement.
only,
There was also an extremely obvious look of regret on his expression. Zhao Che is good at everything,
Looks, wealth, power, Zhao Che has all of these. He is also the most popular figure in the entire Xianyang City, and the person His Majesty trusts the most is Zhao Che. The only thing that made him feel extremely regretful was that
The apple of his eye, Lan'er, did not win Zhao Che's love.
If Lan'er can get Zhao Che's love, he will have no regrets in this life.
After all, Wang Ben's biggest wish right now is to marry Zhao Che. As for Zhao Che, after hearing the words of the First Emperor Ying Zheng,
He extremely calmly took out the test paper he carried with him. The test papers are printed on white paper. He looked at the 20 literary test candidates in the palace and said: "Dear candidates, all twenty of you have been selected for the palace examination. Next, the top three among you will be selected to serve the imperial court. No Those who are selected into the top three don't need to be discouraged, they can compete again next year, the imperial examination is held every year." "You all have half an hour to write this test paper." When Zhao Che spoke, the candidates present also listened to his words carefully and looked at him intently. Many candidates looked at Zhao Che with full admiration and respect. You must know that Zhao Che has extremely extraordinary significance to all of their candidates. Without Zhao Che, they would have no chance to stand here. Many of the candidates present were from poor families. Zhao Che was the proposer of the imperial examination. Including the imperial examination process and test papers, etc., were all written by Zhao Che. Zhao Che is their nobleman. He is the noble man of all scholars who were born in poor families in the world. It was Zhao Che who made the road to officialdom gradually become fair. If it weren't for Zhao Che, with their background, they probably wouldn't be able to become officials in the imperial court in this life.
Among the candidates, There was a young man named Chen Ping. When Chen Ping heard Zhao Che's words, he nodded repeatedly. His background is also relatively ordinary. After hearing that Daqin had a new way to select talents, he immediately signed up to participate.
At the beginning, After he heard about the "imperial examination" for the first time and learned the specific meaning of the scientific examination,
In his heart, he couldn't help but be full of respect for Zhao Che. At the same time, Zhao Che had distributed test papers to all the candidates, and these candidates were all answering their questions very seriously. For them, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not to be missed. After hearing Zhao Che's words, the First Emperor Ying Zheng also nodded repeatedly.
He deeply agreed with Zhao Che's approach. He could also see that the scholars selected through the imperial examination were all outstanding ones. Zhao Che is really exceptionally smart. This made him, the emperor, involuntarily convinced. At this time, Prime Minister Zuo Li Si also glanced at all the candidates.
Li Si could see the admiration and respect for Zhao Che in the eyes of these candidates. After the top three candidates enter the court as officials,
Naturally, Zhao Che's power will increase again. The most terrifying thing is that the imperial examination is held once a year. Next year, the year after, and every year thereafter, there will be imperial examinations. One thing that Prime Minister Zuo Li Si knew very well was that Zhao Che's method of selecting talents through an imperial examination could be said to have won the hearts of many scholars in the Qin Dynasty. Scholars all over the world are an extremely large group. Zhao Che’s move
It made Li Si shudder a little. What's even more terrifying is that Now, Zhao Che's power has surpassed him. In the court, some of the courtiers who originally supported him also fell to Zhao Che's camp. After thinking of this, Prime Minister Zuo Li Si also clenched his fist tightly. And he closed his eyes, silently thinking about how to deal with it. He quickly thought that if he wanted to change the status quo, he must make the young master Hu Hai the crown prince. By then, if Hu Hai becomes the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty and his majesty dies, Zhao Che will no longer have any limelight. just, What should he do to make that young man Hu Hai become the crown prince? ?
In Xianyang City, At the house of Prince Hu Hai, At this point in time, Yi Xiaochuan has been chopping firewood there. Since a lot of firewood was soaked by the heavy snow, it was extremely difficult to chop firewood today. however. Yi Xiaochuan didn't dare to slack off. (End of this chapter)
