Chapter 1018 All the Talents in the World Are in the Hands of the Qin Dynasty! That's It? You Can't Even Cheat!
In the original history, Zhou Yan was the first imperial censor appointed by Liu Bang after he was granted the title of Queen of Han Dynasty. He was also Liu Bang's most trusted confidant general in the early days. He was quite talented in military strategy, decisive and straightforward in doing things, bold and careful. Unfortunately, he met Xiang Yu.
In the Battle of Xingyang, Zhou Yan cut off Liu Bang's rear and garrisoned Xingyang City. In order to prevent Wei Bao, who had surrender experience, from rebelling, Zhou Yan decisively killed his teammates and made every effort to make many arrangements to face Xiang Yu.
Yes! It only took Xiang Yu less than a month to break through Zhou Ke's defenses and capture Zhou Ke and all the defending generals alive.
Faced with Xiang Yu's solicitation, Zhou Yan refused to betray his master and angrily accused Xiang Yu of being beheaded. This move was praised by literati throughout the ages and even caused Liu Bang to cry. Zhou Ke was made a marquis, and he quickly promoted Zhou Ke's younger brother Zhou Chang to inherit Zhou Ke's position as censor.
But soon, Liu Bang realized that as a leader, you really shouldn't be moved randomly!
Zhou Ke was appointed as the Imperial Censor not because Liu Bang needed Zhou Ke to help him supervise the officials and admonish the king, but because Liu Bang was granted the title of King of Han and his staff was upgraded. He also had to improve the staff for his subordinates. He was granted the title of Censor. After the doctor, Zhou Ke still charged forward, fighting for Liu Bang in the north and south, more like a general than a prince.
But Zhou Chang really thinks of himself as a censor!
No matter the matter is big or small, as long as Liu Bang does something wrong, Zhou Chang will speak out and remonstrate. Even if it is a matter of abolishing the crown prince and having nothing to do with Zhou Chang, Zhou Chang can still hold his neck and stammer to remonstrate. Stop, even if Liu Bang was riding on Zhou Chang and threatening him with his fists, Zhou Chang still angrily shouted: Your Majesty is the Lord of Jie and Zhou!
Zhou Chang's integrity and uprightness were what even Wei Zheng called him a model for our generation when he saw him.
After all, Wei’s troll is trolling the shameless Li Shimin, and Zhou’s troll is trolling the shameless Liu Laosan!
While thinking, Ying Chengqiao smiled and said, "It's not easy to be valued by Qi Diaozi."
"After this examination, if Qi Diaozi intends to put this son into the door wall, he must inform me."
"As long as I have some free time, I will definitely come to congratulate you!"
Qi Diaoli looked surprised and asked with some excitement: "Is Mr. Chang'an also optimistic about this week?"
Everyone knows that Lord Changan of Great Qin has a pair of wise eyes.
As long as anyone can be valued by Lord Chang'an, regardless of origin or age, they will grow into outstanding talents!
If the scholars of the Qidiao clan can emerge as a figure like Su Jiao who can gain a firm foothold in the upper echelons of Da Qin, then why should the scholars of the Qidiao clan be unhappy?
Ying Chengxiao nodded lightly: "Everyone is too scared to come forward, their eyes are afraid and their faces are humble."
"This boy dares to face difficulties and lead the way forward."
"I admire this courage very much. Great Qin also needs righteous men with this courage!"
Ying Chengyu didn't care whether the two brothers were really Gao Jinghou and Fenyin Hou.
Regardless of whether these two brothers are those two brothers, Ying Chengyu will always praise Zhou Ke for his behavior.
The problem of the arrogance of the people in Gu Qi has not yet been eradicated. If in the future the officials in Gu Qi will subconsciously feel inferior when facing the people, or pretend to be cruel and tyrannical because of their inferiority, it will not be in line with Qin's general policy of governing Gu Qi. .
Only students who can look down on the children of the common people and dare to shake their fists at the children of the common people can better complete the Qin Dynasty's rule over the old land of Qi!
Qi Diaoli's heart skipped a beat, and he unexpectedly said shyly, "Since Lord Chang'an is so optimistic about Zhou Yan, Lord Chang'an should accept him as his guest."
"How can Qi Diao take over the favor of Lord Chang'an!"
Chang'an Jun admitted that he was optimistic about this person! This guy is definitely a talent!
I'm so sorry to be sent such a talented person by Lord Chang'an!
Ying Chengyu smiled softly: "This child is indeed a jade in the rough, and I have given him the opportunity to be polished and shine."
"If this son is really an outstanding person, even if he is not a guest of my family, he will benefit the Qin Dynasty, the world, and all the people in the future."
"At that time, I should congratulate you!"
Ying Chengyu has no habit of collecting historical celebrities, nor has he developed any hobbies.
Zhang Liang took the initiative to surrender to Ying Chengyu because of the support of the Zhang family. Han Fei took whatever he could get because of his close relatives. Liu Ji, Xiao He, Su Jiao, Peng Yue and others all came to surrender on their own initiative. And only after you have made meritorious deeds for Ying Chengyu can you get the reward.
The two brothers Zhou Ke and Zhou Chang have indeed left their mark in history and are strong-willed, but what happened?
I am not the King of Qin!
Ying Chengyu will do his best to provide a platform for advancement and an opportunity for everyone regardless of status, but he will not necessarily let them be greedy for his own use.
At most, they will just execute the clan-killing-father-killing tactic against some serious troubles that are absolutely impossible to conquer!
Qi Diao Li's eyes were stunned, but he raised his hands in shame and said, "Mr. Chang'an has a broad mind, but Qi Diao just developed a greedy heart."
"Qidiao's character is really inferior to that of Chang'an Jun!"
Ying Chengqiao chuckled: "Qi Diaozi is greedy? And I am even greedier!"
After looking at the engraving, Ying Chengyu stepped out of Chang'an Bookstore, stood on the steps, looked down at all the candidates, and spoke loudly:
"I only hope that all the talented people in the world will join the Great Qin Dynasty!"
Hearing these words, Qi Diaoli, Chun Yuyue and other great scholars all trembled in their hearts.
Are all the talents in the world included in the Great Qin Dynasty?
What a crazy idea!
Even the five hegemons in the past only dared to 'seek' talents, but did not dare to say such arrogant words!
However, following Ying Chengyu's gaze as he looked at the thousands of candidates below, the scholars felt in a daze.
Judging from what Ying Chengjiao did, he might be able to fulfill his bold words!
The examinees under the ring level were all excited.
Chang'an Jun called us talents!
Zhou Ke, Dai Li and all the other examinees all bowed and shouted: "We will not disappoint Lord Chang'an!"
Ying Chengjiao said in a deep voice: "All those who register for the examination should come forward with their certificates and wait in the examination room after being checked."
"If anyone brings prohibited items into the examination room, he will be banned from the examination for life!"
"If anyone makes noises and disrupts the examination room discipline, he will be banned from the examination for life!"
"If anyone colludes with others to cheat, he will be beheaded! The whole family will be punished!"
"I will give you a quarter of an hour to prepare, don't blame the law for being merciless!"
Three stern orders were issued, and many examinees showed obvious panic.
After struggling for a while, more than 40 examinees lowered their heads and left the crowd. They didn't know where they went, but many examinees still stood there with trembling legs.
Ying Chengjiao didn't deliberately look at them, and the family soldiers and county soldiers who maintained order didn't deliberately look at them. They didn't want to give them any extra pressure, but just silently memorized their appearance.
A quarter of an hour later, Ying Chengjiao ordered in a deep voice:
"The auspicious time has arrived!"
"The examination room is open!"
"Exam candidates enter!"
Ying Chengjiao bowed his hands loudly and shouted solemnly: "May you all pass the exam!"
All the examinees bowed their hands and shouted: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an!"
This thank you was not for Ying Chengjiao's blessing, but for Ying Chengjiao giving them the opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives!
Without command, the children of the common people and the children of the common people spontaneously lined up in two rows according to their status, climbed the circular steps one by one, and walked towards the tent temporarily built outside the Chang'an Bookstore.
But from time to time, a sharp whine came from the tent.
"How dare a mere soldier disrespect me?! I am willing to take off my clothes because I admire Lord Chang'an, but you dare to take off my hair, which is even more... General! It's just a small token of respect, but I hope you will accept it! Please accept it!"
"Hiding paper in the hair? Ha~ Don't you feel ashamed to use such a small trick? Take it away, take it away!"
"Where are you poking? Stop it! No! It's coming out! Ah~~~ I read too late last night and was so exhausted that I ate this thing as a cake. It was definitely not cheating!"
"Bah! Are the books in your house written in tiny characters and sealed with beeswax? Left and right! Take this boy to the prison for interrogation!"
"Spare my life! Chunyuzi! Yuanzi! I beg all the great scholars to save the students!"
In order to participate in the imperial examinations, the students in Qi used all their tricks!
The candidates themselves studied hard, and their families, servants, retainers, and other people were all thinking hard about tricks, and even recruited geniuses from the public to jointly devise cheating strategies.
However, the various cheating methods of the candidates in Qi were particularly ridiculous in the eyes of the soldiers of Chang'an Junfu.
That's it? That's it!
You can't even cheat well, let alone answer the questions!
During the first imperial examination, Tong Dan used more cheating methods than all the cheating methods used by everyone here, and they were more advanced!
All those who intended to cheat were caught and taken to prison to await torture and trial.
But in the face of these people's requests for help, Yuan Shou and other great scholars never said a word for them.
Chunyu Yue even shook his head and rebuked: "Confucius said: punishing without teaching is cruelty."
"Xunzi said: If you teach but don't punish, then the treacherous people will not be punished!"
"Now Chang'an Jun teaches and punishes, which is indeed a wise move. How can Chunyu be a villain in vain!"
The family soldiers and county soldiers searched without mercy, and all the great scholars thought that Ying Chengjiao did a good job, so that the atmosphere on the scene became more serious and cruel.
More and more candidates lowered their heads and walked out of the crowd, so that Dai Li, who was originally standing in the middle, climbed the ring steps without waiting for long.
After cooperating with the search, Dai Li wore the uniform uniform issued by the court, carried the uniform stationery bag issued by the court, and found his position according to the examination certificate in his hand.
After nodding to Cao Shen on his left and Ju Chang on his right, Dai Li sat on the soft couch and closed his eyes to rest.
After waiting for half an hour, accompanied by the sound of a bell, a hundred legal officials walked in with test papers in their hands and quickly distributed the test papers in their hands to each candidate.
Not daring to delay, Dai Li quickly scanned the entire test paper as soon as he got it.
However, as soon as he saw the first question, Dai Li's eyes were stunned.
[A man named Hu Hai dug a pond for fun. He drew water in, and it would be full in one and a half hours. If he drained water out, it would be dry in two hours. Now Hu Hai draws water in and drains water at the same time. When will the pond be full? ]
Dai Li: ? ? ?
Dai Li didn't want to answer the question now, he just wanted to catch this man named Hu Hai and ask him clearly.
Are you sick!
