my grandfather was qin shi huang

Zhang Cang was lying on the bed in Naxian Hall with his legs crossed, his hands folded behind his head, looking at the dim oil lamp in the room, and chuckled.

"Brother Bochang, why are you so worried? Cang is not a reckless person, how could he end his own life? I think if this imperial examination system can be implemented, it will create a pattern that has never been seen in the past, and it will be able to recruit talents from all over the world. , enrich the imperial court, seduce the world with fame and wealth, and shake the hearts of those weak-minded people from the Six Nations to fight against Qin. Secondly, attract hundreds of families to join the imperial court, which can alleviate the dominance of the Legalist family in the current Qin court, especially in Guanzhong. Third, we can bring up those scholars from poor families to fight against us and weaken the influence of the world's nobles among the people——"

Having said this, Zhang Cang couldn't help but sigh quietly.

"This system has a long-term perspective, is ingenious but not ingenious, and has a broad mind that far exceeds that of its peers. It is truly a hero of the world. Since Da Qin has such a vision, how could it not be so accommodating? It's just that it doesn't know that it is so majestic. What kind of person did this move come from? I wish I could make friends with him and have a good time drinking and talking——"

Ji Bochang really couldn't understand this good friend.

"Then why are you still..."

Zhang Cang suddenly shook his head with some lack of interest.

"We have different ways, we just don't want to work together -"

Zhang Cang's family actually had a deep entanglement with the Qin Dynasty. His grandfather Zhang Yi was a native of the Wei State and studied under the famous Guiguzi. He dominated the politics of the six kingdoms and was named the Prime Minister by King Huiwen of Qin for his merits. King Wu was delighted, so he fled to his homeland and served as the prime minister of Wei.

From this point of view, Zhang Cang can be regarded as a noble of the Wei State with upright roots.

In his early years, he studied under Xunzi and was considered a fellow disciple with Han Feizi and Li Si. He followed his grandfather's footsteps and entered Xianyang. He held the position of Yushi along the way in the Qin Dynasty and was in charge of documents from all directions. In layman's terms, he was the writing staff of the First Emperor and was responsible for drafting. The edict can be considered a promising future.

Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, he did not have much resistance to Da Qin. But later, because he was implicated by Han Feizi and afraid of being liquidated by Li Si, he had no choice but to escape Xianyang overnight and return to his hometown to avoid trouble.

But later, the First Emperor started the harvest mode and destroyed the Wei State, and he could only flee in embarrassment again.

Since then, he has completely embarked on the journey that his grandfather Zhang Yi once walked. However, Zhang Yi has gained a lot along the way, while he has been wandering around like a lost dog.

Until the First Emperor swept across Liuhe and encompassed the universe, the world became his home.

The steps he takes are all from the soil of Qin. He had no choice but to stop completely. From then on, he changed his name and lived in seclusion in Ji, the capital of the old Yan Kingdom. Because of this, he met Ji Bochang, who was a descendant of the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, and the two became close friends.

Although Ji Bochang has the blood of the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, he is a side branch. Even when the Yan Kingdom was still there, he did not enjoy much of the royal family's shadow, so he did not have a deep attachment to the old Yan Kingdom.

As soon as the imperial examination started in Da Qin, the two of them discussed it and came to Xianyang together.

Hearing what his friend said, Ji Bochang could only sigh softly. He knew that the reason why his friend came with him this time was not to pass the imperial examination and become an official.

The enemy of the past is the examiner of today. What do you expect to pass?

Even if you get lucky, what can you do?

Do you continue to be fearful and wait for the blow and liquidation from Li Si?

So, that being the case, the rest is easy!

With the help of this imperial examination system, you can clear yourself of the charges, and then let go of the bad breath of running around and wasting time all these years, otherwise, you will be hard-pressed!

Li Si was so disgusted that he walked away without waiting for the results to come out——

"I heard that the current Emperor's eldest grandson, although he is young, is very talented, strategic, resolute and courageous. He is known as a courteous and virtuous corporal. He is also quite favored by His Majesty. With Brother Zhang's talent, he takes care of his name, even if Li Si, I may not be able to touch you..."

Hearing this, Zhang Cang hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously shook his head.

"late……"

He almost thought of the twisted and ferocious look on Li Si's face when he saw his name and test paper. But if you don’t have desires, you will be strong. If I don’t play with you anymore, what can you do to me?

Thinking of this, the last trace of hesitation in Zhang Cang's heart disappeared.

He had already thought about it. He would open his mind and speak freely until tomorrow. After leaving the examination room, he hurried out of Xianyang and traveled around the world happily.

What he didn't know was that while they, the scholars, were resting in the dormitory, hundreds of captains at Heibingtai were writing furiously in the palace, which was brightly lit like daylight.

Copied everyone's test papers.

Although their names were painted on, their test papers were all lightly marked with a mark in an inconspicuous position. These marks were scattered like ink accidentally dropped in a hurry, and no trace of artificiality could be seen. trace.

But at this moment, Zhang Cang, who was full of excitement and wanted to leave immediately, was suddenly among them.

Especially Zhang Cang's test paper, an extra copy was copied and delivered to Hei overnight.

Today is the last day of the liberal arts examination for the imperial examination.

In the scholar examination, you will rely on what you have learned in your mind to speak freely and explain your political program on your own examination paper, and ordinary scholars will also verify the results of their hard study.

Thousands of scholars filed out of the Naxian Hall and entered the examination room with their heads held high.

There were many soldiers standing around the examination room, solemn and silent.

The current emperor's eldest grandson, the champion general, the governor of Hexi County, the director of the Jiangshan State Administration and the CRRC Office Commander Zhao Ying, the left prime minister Li Si, the minister Meng Yi, the imperial servant Wei Liao, the Marquis of Wucheng Wang Jian, and the five chief examiners all arrived.

This attention from the imperial court made those scholars who really wanted to stand out through this imperial examination feel very excited and proud. It also made some people with ulterior motives change their expressions slightly.

Li Chang was afraid that others would notice something strange about him, so he quickly withdrew his gaze, followed the person in front, and quickened his pace.

He is different from Zhang Cang. He doesn't need to do anything special. He just needs to go back and tell his father everything he saw and heard in the examination room today, and then he has completed his task.

As for whether he passed the exam or not, it was not within the scope of his consideration.

I came to my house, sat down, calmed my mind, and waited to see how the test papers of the Daqin Imperial Examination were tested.

He really wanted to know what kind of test paper the Great Qin court could use to select the real talents in the world.

Like Zhang Cang, this time he also took the exam for scholar subjects.

Waiting for him will be a unique test paper.

……

In the martial arts examination room, those who had passed the previous few examinations were competing for the final hundred. These one hundred Great Qin warriors will enter the final stage of the decisive battle to determine the final ranking.

In the examination room, everyone was riding on horses uniformly provided by the imperial court and holding weapons uniformly provided by the imperial court, waiting for their appearance.

Xiang Yu sat on his horse and watched the competition below with boredom.

In his opinion, these people below are just chickens and dogs, vulnerable to attack, but they have no choice but to stay by their side.

He dared not disobey the emperor's eldest grandson's orders.

I really can't beat it!

Fortunately, he, Long Qie, Zhong Limei, Jiang Shi, Zhao Qin, Gao Yuanwu and other candidates who entered the top ten did not need to participate in this round of ranking competition. They only had to wait for the final challenge with the winners below. That's enough.

Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that he would seriously injure a few unlucky guys if he wasn't careful.

Long Qie and Zhong Limei watched the duel below with great interest, secretly assuming their own selves and imagining how they would win if they were in their place.

Lu Matong looked at Long Qie and Xiang Yu with envy. Although he entered the top [-], he was at the bottom of the pile and had to participate in this ranking competition again.

At this time, the examiner presiding over the martial arts examination had already called his name, and he raised his hands to Xiang Yu and Long Qie.

"Brother Long, Brother Xiang—I'm going..."

"Brother Lu, success is imminent—"

Long Qie encouraged his friend loudly, while Xiang Yu nodded slightly. He couldn't arouse the slightest interest in a duel between such characters.

Just one round, what's there to see...

On the contrary, he is still looking forward to tomorrow's art of war. He has learned the art of war from his uncle Xiang Liang since he was a child, and also practiced military formations with his uncle. Among his peers, few people can be his opponents, but he is really looking forward to one of these people who will make him shine. Talents.

……

Just as the civil and military examinations were being held simultaneously, a glass shop opened with great fanfare in the busiest and most prosperous area of ​​Xianyang City——

The name of the shop is Liuli!

Every inch of land here is precious, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money. However, this Liuli Store bought four stores in one go, connected them directly, and just by looking at the momentum, you can tell that it has a big background.

Especially the things he sells are amazing and eye-opening.

Liuli!

It is not the exquisite and small colored glaze on the market, but the colored glaze with exquisite shape and quite amazing size. Among them, the most eye-catching one, the Horse Treading on the Flying Swallow, and the colored glaze chimes, dazzled the eyes of these people.

Unbelievable!

Ingenious!

Priceless——

These few times, due to the imperial examinations, the number of customers in Xianyang City has skyrocketed. This restaurant made a big splash and even hired a singer to set up a stage to sing and dance outside the door, instantly attracting the attention of countless people.

At this time, many people were secretly inquiring about who could be so generous and dare to open such a dazzling glass shop in Xianyang.

But the laws of the Qin Dynasty were very strict, not to mention that this place was under the eyes of the First Emperor, and no one dared to commit suicide foolishly.

However, it really attracted the attention of many people.

Li Zuoche, who was sitting in Tianxiang Pavilion drinking tea and waiting for his son's imperial examination, was also attracted by the movement outside. He simply took out his money to pay the bill, and then strolled to Liuli Shop.

"Hiss—there are such strange things in the world..."

He used to be a frequent visitor to King Zhao's palace. King Zhao loved colored glaze and searched all over the world, but even so, he had never seen such rare treasures in the palace.

"How dare you display such a rare thing in a store..."

Li Zuoche clasped his hands behind his back, admiring these stunning glazed treasures, while secretly sizing up the owner of the shop.

Yu Tian personally sat in charge, with his family's guards and servants waiting on the side.

When he saw Li Zuoche approaching, he smiled and raised his hands in salute. At first, Li Zuoche thought that this guy had met him before, but when he looked back, he realized that this guy had this kind of behavior when meeting everyone, so he couldn't help but smile.

He lowered his head and looked at the glass on display.

Such ordinary philistines will naturally not be the masters behind these rare treasures.

The stuff is good, but the price is really good too.

Almost every item on it is priceless, and the smallest glass lamp is marked with a mark of [-] yuan!

Li Zuoche really liked it, but he still had the good sense not to inquire.

Not to mention that he didn't carry so much money when he went out. Even if he did, he didn't want to be so ostentatious and attract attention.

There were many people who had the same thoughts as him, so there were many people who came to watch the excitement, but few people really cared.

Just kidding, except for the top wealthy families, who would be so inconvenient to buy such an expensive thing and put it at home?

Bringing disaster to your family——

Yu Tian was not in a hurry, and he received them patiently and with a smile regardless of coming in. Seeing that he was an extraordinary person, he even greeted people with tea and cakes, and entertained them warmly. He didn't mention anything about selling colored glaze.

……

"Finally home--"

Looking at the towering top of Xianyang City, Feng Quji couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

During these days, I stayed in Hexi County to assist the emperor's eldest grandson in handling some follow-up affairs. It was not until a few days ago that everything was on track, and then I waved goodbye to Chen Ping, the acting governor of Hexi County.

Hexi County has no military commanders guarding it.

Zhao Ying, the governor of Hexi County, had military and political power in his hands. When he is not in Hexi, the county magistrate is in charge of government affairs. In the four counties of Hexi, the county magistrates and county lieutenants of each county cooperate in administration.

The entire Hexi County is glowing with vitality. Seeing Feng Quji, a veteran in politics, he couldn't help but admire him repeatedly. He had to admire His Highness the Emperor's Sun's vision in selecting people.

He even couldn't figure out where His Highness the Emperor Changsun got so many talented people, all of whom were very capable!

Of course, including my good grandson-in-law!

When I came back this time, my first priority was to marry my granddaughter as soon as possible. The nights are long and the dreams are many, so he is safe in his pocket. Even if His Highness the Emperor's Grandson is the matchmaker, he does not dare to be too careless.

Although Han Xin has a somewhat arrogant temperament and does not seem to be very understanding of the world, he definitely has the appearance of a great general!

What does the Feng family lack now?

There is a shortage of such talents who can stand up to the family!

Are there any shortcomings in your character?

That would be even better!

If he was like the emperor's eldest grandson, who couldn't see any shortcomings, he really wouldn't dare to put pressure on the entire family. The return of the Right Prime Minister did not cause much commotion.

Of course, if it were any other day, it would have attracted a lot of attention. At least Han Xin, the prospective granddaughter and son-in-law, would have come out to greet him. But today, the civil service examination for the imperial examination has reached the final stage, and the martial arts examination has also reached the most critical moment. . As one of the examiners, Han Xin needs to sit in the examination room and has no time to pick up his thick legs.

"This is too unreasonable..."

Although he had already prepared himself mentally, Feng Quji couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Suddenly, he frowned and looked forward.

On this street not far from the palace, someone actually set up a stage on the street, and the sound of silk and bamboo strings could be heard in the distance!

who is it!

Such great courage and such great grace!

He raised his eyebrows and looked around.

"Gentlemen, let's go and follow me to see..."
