my grandfather was qin shi huang

A reckless man named Zhui Gu broke into the top three!

Only after Xiang Yu, even Long Qie and Zhong Limei were squeezed out! Zhao Ying looked over the results of the previous games and couldn't help but laugh and cry. This guy was directly tied with Xiang Yu in the stone lock category, but he failed in the riding and shooting, and then in today's duel, he directly tied with Xiang Yu. With his brute force, he simply and roughly swept through Long Qie and Zhong Limei.

The main character is reckless!

This guy is tall, nearly two meters tall. Standing there, he looks taller than Xiang Yu. He is also strong and strong, like a door panel. He feels full of security just by looking at him.

He couldn't help but smile and speak.

"Strong man! Are you willing to stay with me and be a halberd wielder..."

Xiang Yu: ...

Zhui Gu looked at Zhao Ying, who was half a head taller than him.

"Are you His Highness the Emperor's Grandson?"

When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and nodded with a smile.

"Not bad!"

"I heard that His Highness the Emperor's Grandson is the most powerful general in the world and is stronger than me. I will only believe you if you can take an awl from me - well, I didn't bring the awl with me..."

This guy, as he spoke, scratched the back of his head depressedly, looking so naive that Zhao Ying couldn't help laughing.

Isn't this stupid?

"Come back with me and I can give you a chance..."

This guy immediately stood behind Zhao Ying happily, with such crisp and agile energy, but there was no trace of his stupidity at all!

Only Xiang Yu looked at the sky speechlessly.

When following Zhao Ying, he and Zhui Gu were on the left and right. This feeling of keeping pace with each other made him feel very awkward.

……

The second day's art of war exam.

Zhui Gu simply abstained from voting. As for the martial arts competition with Zhao Ying, he never mentioned it again after seeing Zhao Ying's martial arts arena and taking over the halberd used by Zhao Ying from Xiang Yu.

Their weapons weigh more than 500 kilograms——

However, Xiang Yu has to go.

He made an excuse to avoid suspicion and did not want to follow Zhao Ying with Zhui Gu. He rode his own black horse and went straight to the examination room.

At present, although he ranks first in three categories: stone locks, horse archery, and actual combat, he still has to fight the last battle well if he wants to win the top prize.

A big fool can appear in actual combat, but who knows if anything will go wrong in the military deduction.

For the art of war deduction, the examiners were all mid-level officers drawn from the Xianyang Garrison. They may not necessarily know how brilliant the art of war was, but it was easy to see who would win and who would lose.

Of course, if you encounter a situation that is difficult to decide, there are three examiners, Zhao Ying, Wei Liaozi and Wang Jian, who can guarantee that everyone will be convinced.

But the art of war, for ordinary people, really tests the family background behind a person.

You may have talent, but you may not have the opportunity. Not everyone can have a grandfather who is an emperor and has countless resources, and not everyone can have a great father and Aweng who are both masters of the art of war and are deeply influenced by it.

Not everyone has an uncle who takes him with him every day and gives advice.

Not everyone is a lucky one. If you are a top soldier, you can be trained as an officer. Military books are thrown to you for free, and the bosses personally teach the essence of them.

In this world, there are more ordinary people who have thoughts or some talent, but have no chance.

Even if they are lucky enough to have some exposure to the art of war, most of them have only a superficial knowledge of it. Therefore, although there are many people participating, there are only a few who are truly proficient.

The reason why many people come here to take the martial arts exam is just to make a career out of their martial arts skills.

Therefore, the entire art of war exam actually went very quickly.

In just one day, the results came out.

Xiang Yu defeated everyone with his sharp and domineering military tactics. He ranked first in the four categories of stone locks, cavalry and archery, actual combat and military art, and became the first martial arts champion in the Qin Dynasty's first imperial examination and martial arts examination!

No. 2, Jiang Shi, who was born in the Jiang family of Qi State, relied on his outstanding performance in military skills to come from behind and defeat Long Qie and Zhong Limei, becoming the second place.

Long Qie ranked third and won the third place.

Zhong Limei, who was born in Donghai County, Gao Yuanwu, who was born in Yuyang County, and Zhao Qin, who was born in Hedong County, followed closely, finishing fourth, fifth and sixth respectively!

In the afternoon of the same day, the emperor's grandsons Zhao Ying, Tai Wei Liao and veteran general Wang Jian personally decorated the six people with red and colorful decorations.

He was also protected by elite members of Xuanjia, who were granted permission to walk on official roads and parade through the streets astride horses.

The main thing is a glorious addition!

These were all small details proposed by Zhao Ying based on later TV series, but the effect was immediate. Except for Xiang Yu, who was in a somewhat complicated mood, most of the others cheered in front and behind, Xuan Jia opened the way, attracting everyone's attention, and came from His Highness the Emperor Changsun and Taiwei Liao. He gradually lost himself in the encouragement from the legendary veteran Wang Jian.

One by one, they held their chests high and their heads raised, full of ambition.

The man is self-respectful, and the emperor is very gifted.

This sense of honor reached its peak after the First Emperor personally summoned him, encouraged him with gentle words and entertained him in the main hall, and gave him a banquet.

Even though Xiang Yu's heart is as high as the sky, he can't help but feel swaying.

"The Qin Dynasty was able to conquer the world by no means a fluke. Its methods of winning people's hearts and its attitude towards talents are far superior to those of other countries..."

Looking at the scene in front of them, Xiang Yu, Jiang Shi and others couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

Unlike others, Xiang Yu was originally determined to overthrow the violent Qin Dynasty, but was forcefully manipulated by the emperor's eldest grandson Zhao Ying. In order to prevent his uncle from being directly annihilated by the imperial court, he could only temporarily surrender.

And Jiang Shi's ancestor was originally the king of Qi. Although he was later replaced by the Tian family, as the most outstanding man of the Jiang family of this generation, how could he not want to restore his glory in his heart?

But unlike Xiang Yu, for them, when the First Emperor destroyed Qi, it was not really a hatred. To put it into detail, there was even a hint of favor.

Therefore, seeing the majesty of the First Emperor in the main hall today, I felt a little mixed.

The dust has settled on the martial arts exam, but the results on the liberal arts exam are not so fast. Because this liberal arts examination involves a total of six subjects including arithmetic, yin and yang, law, agriculture, medicine, and Mohism, covering almost all mainstream schools of thought today.

Therefore, the imperial court organized doctors from various schools to conduct unified grading this time.

Due to the implementation of the anonymous copying system, the grading maintains the greatest possible fairness. Of course, there is no absolute fairness in the world. Those with family backgrounds and elders who can participate in grading can still get a clue from the answers to the questions, but These are extremely rare, and generally people with this kind of background can succeed even if they rely on their true talents and learning.

It won't affect fairness.

As for the Xiucai Section, Zhao Ying, Li Si and Meng Yi personally reviewed them. After ranking them, they were submitted to the First Emperor for a decision.

None of the three people went back and worked overtime that night to mark the exam papers for the Xiucai Section.

Zhao Ying calmly graded all the marked test papers as excellent or good. Li Si and Meng Yi didn't find any special clues. Even if they occasionally disagreed, they still took into account the attitude of His Highness the Emperor Changsun and followed Zhao Ying to sign their names.

After all, there are not many real mediocre people who dare to participate in the Xiucai Section.

Of course, people like Zhang Cang are special cases.

This fellow was a Legalist apprentice, the same disciple of Han Feizi and Li Si. However, in the first law exam, he frantically attacked various Legalist clauses and turned a simple Legalist exam into a thesis defense.

It's a self-destruction.

In the second exam, "Forging the Soul of the Army", we quoted from various sources and reviewed the policies of the Qin Dynasty that harmed the people from various angles.

The key is that this guy, after traveling all over the world these years, still has something to say...

The results are, of course, mediocre.

In the first step of selecting a scholar through the imperial examination, the position assessment directly resulted in a death sentence.

But the strategy test in the third game was really good.

It is truly meaningful, hits the mark, has clear ideas, a clear framework, guidance in the general direction, and consideration of small details.

"Talent is rare——"

Even Meng Yi, who has always had a rigorous personality, couldn't help but sigh over and over again and read it carefully several times.

"This person's talent is enough to manage an entire county..."

Zhao Ying couldn't help but give Zhang Cang a thumbs up. No wonder this guy was able to become the prime minister later. His administrative ability is really amazing.

Especially the grasp of some details, even from Zhao Ying's current perspective, he feels that he has benefited a lot.

This is already a mature official.

Listening to Zhao Ying and Meng Yi, they were full of praise and appreciation for the test paper, and they all awarded a special distinction. Li Si remained silent. Although the test paper was copied with names painted on it, as a fellow student, , he can naturally tell who wrote this test paper at a glance!

Zhang Cang!

Fortunately, this guy committed suicide and failed in the first two subjects. Otherwise, he would have been a formidable opponent no less than Han Fei.

The days of waiting for the results to be released are both the most painful and the most relaxing.

Therefore, in the past few days, restaurants and tea shops in Xianyang City have been crowded, and many shops have also made a fortune, but the one that really caused a sensation was Liuli Shop!

For these scholars who like to travel around the world and expand their knowledge, this glass shop, which made Right Minister Feng Quji couldn't help but stop and look at it, has an irresistible attraction.

It became so famous that it completely entered everyone's field of vision and became a topic of conversation after dinner.

Even ordinary people have heard of such a shop. Following what others said, he talked vividly about the "Liu Li" he had never seen before.

And the ordinary shopkeeper "Yu Tian" has also begun to enter the field of vision of many people.

There is nothing new in Xianyang City.

It's actually not too difficult to find out who a foreigner like Yu Tian is. Soon, many people knew that the reason why he was able to stay in Xianyang was because he was close to the eldest son's house.

We have business dealings with the eldest son’s house!

But no one knows how deep the connection is, but the exact news is that the head of the Yu family once visited the house in person to ask for an audience with His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson.

Then, he opened this priceless glass shop!

Many people who were interested had to carefully weigh the weight of this news.

time flies.

Under the auspices of Zhao Ying, Li Si and Meng Yi, the entire grading process went very quickly. On the third day after the imperial examination, the imperial list was posted outside the Xianyang school.

The examination that admits the largest number of students is the junior college examination.

Arithmetic, Yin and Yang, Law, Agriculture, Medicine, and Mohism each admitted hundreds of people.

The most eye-catching scholar department also admitted a total of 72 people.

It can be said that everyone is happy!

The most eye-catching thing is, of course, the most valuable and promising Xiucai Branch. The number one scholar undoubtedly came to Guanzhong. He was an apprentice of Legalism and a direct disciple of Li Si. He was profound in knowledge and adept at government orders. His answer sheet was so impressive that even Zhao Ying could not find any fault with it.

But the choice of second place is a bit unexpected.

He turned out to be a Taoist apprentice!

This Taoist disciple from Hedong County had a thin figure and a slender face. He was selected as second place by Zhao Ying and others, and was recognized by the First Emperor. There was no doubt about his talent and learning.

But this ranking still can't help but make many people's hearts move.

A Taoist disciple actually stood out in such a world-famous examination!

No. 3, Tanhua, is an apprentice from today. Speaking of which, he has a relationship with Zhao Ying, that is, the sword-bearing young man who has been accompanying Chun Yuyue for a long time.

This taciturn young man became famous as soon as he became an official. On behalf of Confucianism, he won the crown of the third flower.

Decorated cloaks and paraded through the streets astride horses.

They also followed the glory of the martial arts candidates, and naturally it became a good talk that everyone in Xianyang City talked about.

Just when the new scholar was enjoying his own glory, Zhang Cang finally waited for his sentence.

"...Your Highness, I did not cheat. Who am I, Zhang Cang? If I want to gain fame, why would I resort to such petty tricks..."

Zhang Cang was very excited when he finally had the opportunity to face His Highness the Emperor's Grandson.

"This time, it must have been Li Si's thief who framed me..."

Zhao Ying laughed a few times with some guilt.

"Sir, what you said is wrong. You can't see things with your eyes and ears, but you can only make assumptions about whether they exist or not. Is it okay?"

Zhang Cang was silent.

Indeed, he did not have any evidence to prove that Li Si did this. If he insists on it, it is indeed not the way to study and seek knowledge, nor is it the behavior of a gentleman.

But besides Li Si, who else could it be?

It must be that thief!

Seeing that this guy was finally quiet, Zhao Ying couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head in embarrassment.

"The crux of the matter now is that we have indeed found information from you. The facts are overwhelming. Even if I believe you, I cannot prove your innocence..."

Zhang Cang:......

"There must be something wrong with the soldier who searched me! Your Highness, if you go check him, you will definitely find out some clues..."

Before Zhang Cang finished speaking, he couldn't continue.

It's not that you can't investigate, but the problem is that as long as someone insists that they found out from you, you can't defend yourself. You can't let the person who is suspected of cheating be safe and sound, but you can directly take down the person who found the evidence and then serve him with severe punishment. Bar?

There is no such truth in the world!

Therefore, the person who came up with this conspiracy is not afraid of you investigating it backwards.

Zhang Cang was silent.

Compared with when he escaped from Xianyang, today's situation is more passive. It is not a question of whether he can escape, but this matter. Once the coffin is finalized, he will bear the reputation of cheating in the imperial examination.

See the time is right.

Zhao Ying then said with sincerity.

"The imperial examination is a grand ceremony for the imperial court to recruit talents, attracting the attention of the whole world. If this happened, it is certainly not what Mr. Zhang wanted, nor what the imperial court wanted -"

Hearing this, Zhang Cang couldn't help but feel something in his heart, knowing that the emperor's eldest grandson might have a follow-up.

As expected, just listen to Zhao Ying.

"I have carefully read your answer sheet, and I admire your talent very much. I can't bear the thought that someone as talented as him could be stigmatized for cheating in the imperial examination. If you are willing to join my family, I would like to personally request your Majesty's permission." , eliminate this matter for Mr...."

Zhang Cang hesitated.

Zhao Ying sighed with emotion.

"A gentleman does what he does and what he doesn't do. Even if Mr. Zhang doesn't think about himself, doesn't he think about his closest friends?"

Zhang Cang:......

When he thought that he had been involved in this embarrassing situation, but still did not blame himself for a word, and was still comforting his good friend Ji Bochang, Zhang Cang suddenly made up his mind, stood up, and faced Zhao Yingshen. Give a gift.

"Cang is willing to follow His Highness Jiwei and do all the hard work for His Highness!"

Zhao Ying was overjoyed and stepped forward to help Zhang Cang up with his own hands.

“I’m so lucky to have Mr. Zhang’s help!”

Zhang Cang was captured, and the remaining few small fish and shrimps were of course not a big deal. Faced with the honor and disgrace of life and death, everyone wisely chose to recruit His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun, who was kind-hearted, benevolent, loving, and courteous. .

Zhao Ying did not hesitate and threw them all away to the west of the river with a wave of his hand.

The case of fraud in the imperial examination remained calm, and no outsiders knew about it.

Li Si also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if a quarrel breaks out, Zhang Cang and others will naturally not end well, but Li Si's face is also not good-looking, and he doesn't know how much stigma will be attached to him.

Not to mention anything else, the look in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun and Meng Yi at that time was enough to explain everything.

Gan!

Da Qin's first imperial examination was settled and successfully completed.

Those who passed the exam naturally had to stay in Xianyang and wait for the court's arrangements. Those who failed the exam also saw hope from this exam. Except for a few who were preparing to return home, most people chose to stay in Xianyang. Xianyang, preparing for next year's imperial examination.

Or maybe he is participating in the recruitment test that His Highness the Emperor Changsun will organize alone in the near future.

If you can become a guest of His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson, it will naturally be a good thing. Just when countless people were paying attention to the news about the emperor's grandson's house.

Something even more interesting happened.

The owner of the Liuli shop, Yu Tian, ​​the head of the Yu family from Kuaiji County, who was secretly watched by countless people, brought his stunningly beautiful daughter Yu Ji and the Liuli treasure that attracted countless people's attention - the horse stepping on the flying swallow. The donation was presented to Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the emperor!

It is said that His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun was very satisfied.

The next day, he presented the rare horse-treading flying swallow to His Majesty the First Emperor.

PS: Tomorrow is the college entrance examination. The author hereby wishes all readers and friends who are participating in the college entrance examination this year to get off to a successful start and achieve ideal results. I also wish that friends who are candidates at home can get what they want and return home with great success!
