Chapter 26 Disputes at the DPRK Meeting

"Actually, the eldest son is right. Rulers are benevolent, but they have not grasped the key point of 'benevolence'. The method of benevolence is to treat those who are appointed equally and to be fair."

"What is lacking in the Qin Dynasty now? Isn't it talent? There is an allusion that goes like this: A thousand pieces of gold buys horse bones. If everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty can be put to good use by others, why not ask for talents?"

oh!

The more Ying Zheng listened to Li Zhao's words, the more excited he became. He had read about buying horse bones for a thousand dollars, so why didn't he think of it?

If you let others make good use of them and recruit all the talents and let you select them yourself, wouldn't it be possible to avoid the shortcomings of laziness and mediocrity?

"What a great idea!" Ying Zheng was pleasantly surprised.

He felt that today's trip was worthwhile. He abolished official education and promoted private education to increase the number of scholars. He then conducted imperial examinations, selected talents, treated talents well, and treated them equally.

This is really a good idea!

If Da Qin really implements this, he can see that Da Qin will usher in a glorious era.

Perhaps, this is innovation!

The imperial examination is good, but it is not easy to implement. Yingzheng has been in power for many years, so he naturally knows that reform will face many difficulties.

First of all, the biggest problem is the obstacles to innovation. Just like the last time we implemented the county system, there were countless opponents, let alone the implementation of the imperial examination.

Secondly, abolishing official education and promoting private education cannot be accomplished overnight. It involves too many things.

Official learning means learning from officials.

The laws of the Qin Dynasty stipulated that non-official scholars could not be recommended for appointment, which led some people to worship officials as their teachers in various ways, so as to get recommended and serve as officials in the dynasty.

This is one of the ways to select officials in the Qin Dynasty, and it is also a relatively important way. This has led to many disadvantages. Who are the people who can worship officials as their teachers? They must be powerful.

The status of the officials must be high. If it were abolished all at once, there would be a lot of opposition from the officials, and the officials themselves are composed of powerful people.

This is the current problem.

Of course, Ying Zheng is very determined. Since this method is feasible, he must solve these problems.

He had to go back and discuss things with Prime Minister Feng. As for Li Si, the left prime minister, he put him aside for no other reason than to be influenced by Li Zhao's voice.

He was treasonous, but he still remembered it in his heart.

Soon, he left.

Half a month later, Zhangtai Palace secretly released the news, abolishing official schools, abolishing recommendations, opening up private schools, and implementing imperial examinations. It also explained in detail that students are the key to the prosperity of the country. Regardless of their status, anyone can participate in the imperial examinations, and those who stand out will be appointed by the country.

.

No matter who you are, you must treat all students well and let them conduct the imperial examinations fairly. Otherwise, you will break the law and you will be punished.

The news spread secretly and spread within a certain circle. The powerful people reacted the most strongly, and all of them ran to Li Si's mansion.

"Mr. Li, your majesty's heart seems to be very firm. What should I do?" The speaker was Yan Jun, one of the nine ministers. He bribed Li Si a lot of money and silk in order to get him to recommend his son, and he was about to succeed.

, but this happened.

Li Si's face was tense, and he waved his hands slowly and said, "Let's talk about it at the meeting!"

Yes, he has contacted many dignitaries and is preparing to put pressure on His Majesty at the court meeting to cancel such a decision.

In the morning, Shang Xin came to Chang'an Township early and dug Li Zhao out of his sleep.

"Li Zhao, His Majesty has asked you to go to court, so prepare quickly!"

Li Zhao was sleepy, but when he was told this, he immediately woke up and left quickly after tidying up.

During the court meeting, Li Zhao was placed on the side in front of the driver. He stood all alone, which was very funny.

As the head of the powerful ministers, Li Si stood at the forefront. He was very surprised when he saw Li Zhao. However, with his hidden thoughts, he did not react too much and quickly averted his eyes.

Li Zhao noticed Li Si's evil gaze, raised his eyes slightly, and secretly hated him: Old beast, I have already left Li's house, why are you still refusing to let me go? If you instigated Chun Yuyue this time, who will you instigate next time? Ni

Damn it, I don't have that much time to play tricks with you.

Ying Zheng was in a high position. When he heard this, he smiled and thought: How deeply this boy has shadowed Li Si!

The court meeting discussed some recent matters, and it was soon coming to an end. At this time, Ying Zheng spoke: "My lords, I still have some memorials. If there are no memorials, I will withdraw from the court."

This was a common saying, and he expected that someone would come out to oppose the implementation of the imperial examination today.

Sure enough, an official came out. He was Yan Jun. He grabbed the scroll in his hand and saluted and reported: "Your Majesty, I heard rumors in the palace that your Majesty wants to take the imperial examination. I think it is inappropriate."

Yesterday's rumors clearly stated what the "imperial examination" was.

Another person came out, and other powerful officials also echoed the words.

"I think this move is inappropriate and please Your Majesty not to set a precedent."

"."

Ying Zheng had already expected such a voice, so he didn't get angry and asked: "Why?"

Yan Jun was well prepared. He held the scroll in both hands and said: "The imperial examination is an untested policy and is not advisable. Since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, recommendation has been the first priority. The country has prospered. It is actually a good national policy. The imperial examination is not as good as it."

"Besides, there has never been such a precedent in history. Aren't you afraid of other people's bad words?"

Another person came out and reported: "I think Yan Zongzheng's words are reasonable. Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, all the people have knelt down and worshiped, and the appointment of officials has won the hearts of the people. This is the truth. If the imperial examination is instituted, the people's hearts will be in chaos, and six people will be punished.

The remnants of the country can take advantage of this, so it is not the best policy."

Some people even said: "The imperial examination is open to the common people. Where does this leave us powerful people? The people are humble, so why can we be in the hall?"

You said something and I said something. Ying Zheng expected that these people would object, but he didn't expect that the opposition would be to such an extent that no one would speak out in agreement.

Is the Qin Dynasty corrupt to this extent?

Or is it that there are no more enlightened officials among the powerful officials?

Ying Zheng was very disappointed.

Feng Quji saw the emperor's displeasure and hurriedly stepped out and said: "You have exaggerated! What you said is true, but do you know that there are many slackers among officials, and mediocrity is everywhere in the government and the public. If this continues,

I'm afraid that if the people's support is not won, the country will be ruined."

The Prime Minister on the right has spoken, but the Prime Minister on the left is indispensable.

Li Si came out of the queue, bowed his hands with the scroll, and retorted: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Feng's words are wrong! Although there are mediocre people in the court, they are all temporary. The reason is that this is caused by the jade market. When the market calms down,

Everything can be normal.”

"Prime Minister Feng cannot generalize."

Feng Quji glared at Li Si and said angrily: "Li Xiang, you are partial to the mediocre. The mediocre are mediocre and the lazy are hard to change. Don't you understand this? Could it be that you did it on purpose?"

"Did someone bribe you? Are you trying to get in the way?"

One sentence struck a chord in Li Si's mind.

"Absurd! I, Li Si, am an upright person. How can I accept bribes? Prime Minister Feng, please don't spit on others." Li Si retorted, then turned to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, you know best what it means to be an official. Please tell me clearly."

Ying Zheng frowned.

The struggle between power ministers was inevitable, and what the emperor had to do was to weigh things up. However, after hearing Li Zhao's voice, he always felt displeased with Li Si.

But there is no evidence at the moment, and nothing will happen to Li Si.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. It's natural for Prime Minister Li to be an official." Just when he wanted the two prime ministers to stop arguing, Ying Zheng spoke.

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard Li Zhao's inner voice.

"The old beast just accepts bribes, and the Li family has a lot of bribes!"
