my grandfather was qin shi huang

Mao Dun acted as if nothing had happened. He was drinking and having fun with his father and the tribal leader as usual, and there was no trace of anything strange about the fact that he had just killed his wife and younger brother.

In the royal court, the tribal leaders who came to have a banquet never thought that the prince, who was at the end of his rope and was about to become a decoration, would be so crazy.

Many people even held wine glasses and toasted to Maodun cordially. Motyer, the right virtuous king, even came over with a wine glass with a smile on his face and told him to pay attention to his identity and be careful in his words and deeds when he arrived in Xianyang. The dignitaries interacted more and fought for more benefits for the Xiongnu.

Mao Dun remained calm and responded one by one.

Motier only felt comfortable.

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

He has already begun to think about which of the younger children 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. He even drank a few more glasses of wine. When the banquet was over, he even held his eldest son's hand and went out to see off the guests in person.

"Father and uncles, do you think these guards of mine are brave?"

Modun let go of Man Shanyu's hand, walked to the side and stood next to the waiting bodyguards, turned around, and looked at his father's big greasy face and drunkenness with an expressionless face. The tribal leaders were all drunk.

Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly mentioned this, and everyone was slightly startled. Touman Chanyu thought that his eldest son was unhappy, and before leaving, he wanted to declare his bravery again in front of everyone. He nodded nonchalantly and praised perfunctorily.

"You personal guards are all carefully selected warriors from the clan, so they are naturally very brave..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw his son taking his long bow from one of the guards and slowly drawing out a long arrow.

"In recent days, I have taken them to practice archery day and night. Today is a rare opportunity. I would like to ask my father and uncles to comment on the archery skills of these personal guards..."

This is natural!

Everyone stopped in a dignified manner, and Touman Shanyu also held out his belly and waved his hand boldly.

"Can--"

He was just about to ask his eldest son if he wanted to prepare some prey for fun. Over there, Mao Dun had already unhurriedly drawn his long bow, the bow string was loose, and the sound of the bow pierced the air!

In the direction of Touman Chanyu!

Behind them, 79 personal guards subconsciously raised their hands and raised their bows, and the iron arrows shot through the air——

Touman Shanyu's eyes were frozen, and the last image left was only a blue sky and white clouds, and the chaotic and frightened screams coming from his ears. Until his death, he never understood why his son dared to suddenly attack him.

But soon he no longer had to think about it. The huge darkness slowly swallowed him up, and the blood soaked the ground beneath him.

Shocked!

The scene in front of them completely shocked everyone.

"Modun, you, you are so rebellious, you killed your king and your father——"

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

King Youxian died.

This time, the scene was instantly shocked.

No one dared to come out and rebuke Mao Dun. Everyone looked at the prince who suddenly turned against him in horror.

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

Having said this, Maodun strolled to Touman Shanyu's side, leaned down, took off the royal seal from Touman Shanyu's body, and rubbed it carefully on the areas of Touman's robe that were not stained with blood. Hold it up and show it around.

"Everyone, from now on, I am Maodun Shanyu. Is there anyone who objects?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at each other, and there was a hint of commotion in the crowd.

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

As soon as Maodun said this, several of Touman Shanyu's confidants came out angrily.

"Modun, you killed your king and your father. Humans and gods are all outraged. The whole world will punish you. Even if you live forever, heaven will never spare you - let's go!"

When you're done, turn around and leave.

They are all confidants of Touman Shanyu, loyal to Touman's enemy, each has a powerful tribe, and they have strong strength. Naturally, they will not look at a beast who kills his king and his father.

They were certain that without the support of themselves and others, Maodun would never be able to secure his position as Chan Yu. After returning, he immediately supported the second prince Weiman and raised an army to attack this rebellious dog thief!

However, as soon as they started to move, there was a sharp and familiar chirping sound behind them.

Before they could even turn around, they felt as if they were being stung by countless wasps. Then they fell to the ground with sweet throats. Looking at the tribal leaders who had become like hedgehogs in the blink of an eye, the rest of the people couldn't help but change their expressions in shock.

The cruel fact is before our eyes, if we advance, we will live, if we retreat, we 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 Prince Maodun as the new chanyu!

When Mao Dun saw that the overall situation was certain, he immediately summoned his own [-] elite soldiers, took the tribal leaders who had just sworn allegiance to him, purged the tribes under Touman Shanyu and Prince Weiman, and married Touman Shanyu. He and Weiman's women and their children were all killed.

Maodun's strength increased instantly and he became a force that could control the Xiongnu.

Then, he coerced everyone, and with the power of thunder, he annexed the tribal forces under King Youxian and Touman Shanyu, and completely stabilized the situation of the Xiongnu.

Immediately, Mao Dun established his eldest son, Nuetangjizhu, who was only 11 years old, as the prince. He had a large number of cattle, sheep and horses accompany him to escort the prince, Nuetangjizhu, into the Qin Dynasty as his hostage!

At the same time, he wrote to the First Emperor, praying for his title to be granted.

……

At this time, no one in Daqin, except for someone who was secretly adding fuel to the flames, would have expected that such a treasonous farce would be staged in the north of the Great Wall.

Including the First Emperor, everyone's eyes were fixed on the first imperial examination of Qin Dynasty.

On the first day, there were two general examinations.

Everyone has to face the same test paper, one is the legal provisions of Da Qin, and the other is "Forging the Soul of the Army". The Qin Dynasty ruled the country by law. Even if Zhao Ying was willing to absorb the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, he was not willing to recruit a group of law-illiterates who were ignorant of government affairs to govern the people.

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

Based on the law, although it will harm the interests of some Legalists, it does not shake the foundation of Legalism.

As for "Forging the Soul of the Army" - whether you agree or disagree, as long as you want to participate in the imperial examination and seek a future, you must learn to understand this. This is a red line.

Failure to pass "Forging the Soul of the Army" is considered a death sentence.

The exam on the second day was the Xiucai subject, which tested policy theory.

"If you are given the land of one county and one county, how should you govern it? Please combine what you have learned in your mind and speak freely."

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

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

There are no restrictions on schools or regions. Anyone can speak freely. As long as he can speak something meaningful, he will stand out and have the opportunity to become an official of the county, and get the opportunity to implement his own policies and display his talents.

The third day is the junior college exam.

There are six disciplines in total, including arithmetic, yin and yang, law, agriculture, medicine, and Mohism. It can be said that, except for magicians and Taoists, it covers almost all mainstream schools of thought today.

Anyone with outstanding performance will be admitted on a merit-based basis, and these six subjects have the largest number of admissions.

The advice given by Zhao Ying is, the more, the merrier!

Nowadays, there are not too many officials in Da Qin, but too few. In the Six Kingdoms outside Guanzhong, government orders could hardly be sent to the countryside, and local affairs were still in the hands of the local landlords and nobles.

While the liberal arts exams are being conducted, the martial arts exams are also being conducted simultaneously.

The first step is to lift the stone lock.

It ranges from dozens of kilograms to two hundred kilograms.

What matters is strength!

Fighting in the army and competing with two people are two completely different concepts. Showing off is not as good as being powerful. When the enemy is pushing towards you like a human wall, if you are strong enough, you can directly break a bloody path.

Therefore, in ancient times, all the powerful generals who left their names in history were almost without exception tall men.

Not to mention anything else, Xiang Yu is only 1.9 meters tall. Standing there, he stands out from the crowd.

At this level, Xiang Yu and Long Qie meet up victoriously!

"Brother Xiang, I didn't expect you to be here too!"

Meeting an old friend in a foreign country, Long Qie didn't expect to meet Xianyang in the martial arts examination room. He couldn't help being surprised and happy, and hurried forward to greet him. Xiang Yu couldn't help but raise his hand in embarrassment.

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

As a result, when I turned around I met——

Fortunately, Long Qi didn't tease him or look down on him. Instead, he was very happy for him.

"Brother Xiang, it's great that you can come here - with Brother Xiang's bravery, who is the opponent of this world's heroes? I'm afraid there will be no suspense about the number one martial arts champion 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. When Long Qie heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head angrily, only to see a burly man with a beard looking over at him without giving in.

If this were the case before, Xiang Yu would definitely fight back without hesitation. Only this time, he subconsciously looked up at the tall emperor's grandson sitting on the school stage.

Then, in Long Qie's surprised eyes, he shook his head at Long Qie dullly.

"Brother Long, don't underestimate this world hero..."

Then he turned his head and looked at the strong man who made the provocation.

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

This move completely silenced all the candidates participating in the martial arts examination present.

Being able to lift a two hundred kilogram stone lock and being able to dance are two completely different concepts.

"Who is your Excellency——"

The stocky man finally looked moved and 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 thrown down, shouted loudly, exerted force with his hands, and then successfully raised the two stone locks into the air. .

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

But even so, it still attracted a burst of cheers.

Even Xiang Yu couldn't help but glance at him 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 examinations, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at the man below who was competing with Xiang Yu with interest.

"Who is this person——"

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

Naturally, there was a small official accompanying him to report quickly. Zhao Ying nodded slightly and complimented casually.

"It turns out it's him, and he's a rare talent..."

The clerk on the side silently wrote down the name Zhong Limei, drew a circle on the roster, and made a simple note: His Highness the Emperor Changsun admired it very much.

Then the list was quietly circulated.

After a martial arts examination, in addition to Xiang Yu who took part in the imperial examination under his own orders, Zhao Ying saw several familiar names, two of Xiang Yu's later friends, Long Qie and Zhong Limei, and another one who didn't know how. Lu Matong, an enemy who had a relationship with Xiang Yu.

He was the lucky man who was beheaded by Xiang Yu in later history.

In addition to these people, there are a few people who performed extremely well. One is named Jiang Shi, who comes from Qijun, the other is Zhao Qin, who comes from Hedong, and the other is named Gao Yuanwu, who comes from Yuyang County!

Although not as good as Xiang Yu, Long Qie and Zhong Limei, he can still lift a two hundred kilogram stone lock and draw a three-stone bow!

In addition to stone locks, archery and horse riding, there are also duels.

Everyone was riding horses uniformly provided by the imperial court, holding white wax poles wrapped several layers of cloth and dipped in cinnabar, or long knives or short swords.

Although the martial arts competitions are all decided on the spot, there are still so many people.

Anyone who feels that they have some strength and a bit of bravery in the countryside is willing to come to Xianyang to try their skills and gain a future. Compared with being a top soldier for several years, they may not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. Obviously, participating in This imperial examination is the shortcut to the south.

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

Therefore, Zhao Ying, as the examiner of the civil and military examinations, naturally could not be at the scene every day. Apart from a brief look on the first day and a tour of the major examination rooms, he left the specific matters to himself. The four deputy examiners returned 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 relieved.
