Chapter 661 If I Can't Solve the Test Paper, Can I Not Solve You? I Traveled Thousands of Miles to Qin Just to Edit!

November 1, the 14th year of the reign of Emperor Qin.

The preparation for the civil service examination, which has lasted for more than a year, officially started today.

As the sun rose, Ying Zheng led a group of courtiers to gather at the Daqin Military Academy, which immediately became lively in the deserted Daqin Military Academy.

Just because there were more than two thousand ministers and entourage who came with Ying Zheng.

But a month ago, there were 7,391 candidates waiting in Xianyang City to prepare for the exam, but now there are only more than 600 left!

Da Qin had been preparing for a year-long examination of civil servants. As a result, the number of examiners was greater than the number of candidates.

That’s outrageous!

Ying Chengxuan stood at the gate of Daqin Military Academy and said coldly: "Since October 20th, some common people who came to take the imperial examination suddenly stopped preparing for the exam, and instead took the initiative to pass on news from their hometown to other people who came to take the exam. ”

"All scholars who are not from common people either have someone in their family suddenly seriously ill, or something important happens that forces them to return home quickly."

"My brother sent personal soldiers to inquire about the situation in the homes of several scholars nearby, and confirmed that the information was true."

"As a result, there are only seventy-nine scholars left who are not from the common people but have never left Xianyang City."

"The one hundred and fifty three people standing on the left are all guests of my brother's house."

"The four hundred and seventeen scholars standing on the right side are all sons of common people!"

All the scholars who were not from powerful families had major changes in their families at almost the same time.

The families of all the noble family members were peaceful and healthy.

Say this is a coincidence?

Who believes it!

There is no doubt that the Kanto dignitaries played their basic skills.

The children of powerful people may not be the smartest, nor the most talented.

But as long as the promotion channels for talented people who are not from powerful families are blocked, or those talented people who are not from powerful family backgrounds are eliminated, the children of powerful people will naturally become the best talents!

Ying Zheng's voice was as deep as water: "Sure enough, the people of Guandong can't hold it anymore."

Ying Chengyu asked in a deep voice: "Have all the supervisors been in place?"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "Long before Brother Wang returned to the court, Brother Nai had sent many legal officials to the hometown of these scholars."

"The next day after brother Wang admonished the censor, brother Nai and Wang Aiqing agreed to add these legal officials to the censor and give them the identity of the censor so that they can act."

"Therefore, the censor has already arrived at the hometown of these scholars and is always keeping an eye on their families."

"With the censor here, the people of Guandong will not be able to cover up the crimes committed this time. The families of the scholars may be injured, but their lives will not be in danger."

The imperial court's inability to rule Guandong, and the frequent attacks by the powerful officials in Guandong, made it impossible for Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu to take the initiative.

They could only use the families of the scholars as fishing bait, and then set up nets next to the bait, waiting for the people of Guandong to fall into the trap!

Ying Chengqiao relaxed a little: "Shan."

"In this way, it can be considered as some gains."

"Brother, I will order the disciples from the military academy to come here."

The Qin Dynasty held an imperial examination with great fanfare, but only about 600 people came, and most of them were children of powerful people. It was hard not to think too much about this, and it was even harder not to laugh at it.

For the sake of the face of the Qin Dynasty, in order not to let the people of the world be disappointed with the imperial examination candidates, in order not to let the people of Guandong rejoice, Ying Chengyu has decided to pull out the first-term students of the general school to fill the scene.

However, Ying Zheng shook his head: "According to Brother Wang's plan, it will take another year for the first batch of military academy students to graduate."

"Let them continue to learn from Brother Wang."

"Someone has sent a generous gift to Brother Nai!"

As he spoke, Ying Zheng looked to the west with complicated eyes.

——

At the same time, outside the Daqin Military Academy.

"Hi~ It's a bit cold." Liu Ji rubbed his arms, stood on tiptoes and looked at the gate of the Daqin Military Academy: "Is the King of Qin over there?"

Xiao He pulled Liu Ji's arm speechlessly and whispered, "Are you seeking death?"

Liu Ji said nonchalantly: "You won't lose a piece of meat if you look at it twice."

"Besides, there are so many people surrounding King Qin, we can't see clearly!"

After all, Liu Ji put his feet flat and calmed down.

Looking around again, Liu Ji tutted and said: "When Liu first entered Xianyang City, the people who came to participate in the imperial examination were like crucian carp crossing the river."

"The exam is really going to start today, but there are only so many people left?"

"Those people in gorgeous clothes are quite capable. I don't know what King Qin would think when he saw this."

"But in this way, the chances of you and me passing the exam to become officials will be much greater!"

As he spoke, Liu Ji was quite excited.

He only lost one of Aweng's legs in exchange for a good opportunity to become an official.

What a deal!

Xiao He looked around and said casually: "Brother Liu Xian, do you think the King of Qin is a mediocre person, or that Lord Chang'an is a mediocre person?"

"Today's events have long been anticipated by King Qin and Lord Chang'an."

"I just don't know how King Qin will solve this situation."

Liu Ji let out a 'hehe': "So what if I found it? So what if I didn't find it?"

"This strategy is a conspiracy. Even if the King of Qin has discovered it long ago, it will be difficult to break it!"

Xiao He suddenly stood on tiptoes and said: "Don't make any noise, look over there!"

Liu Ji followed Xiao He's gaze to the west and saw an endless line of carriages speeding from the west and finally stopped thirty feet outside the gate of Daqin Military Academy.

As the carriage stopped, a man over forty years old, with a square face and a dignified appearance stepped out of the carriage.

Liu Ji couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said: "You will know that this person is extraordinary when you look at him!"

Xiao He was also somewhat shocked: "This person must have been in a high position for a long time."

"Does such a person need to participate in the imperial examination?"

Mi Li's pupils shrank even more: "Jiang Zan?!"

Liu Ji and Xiao He did not know this person, but Mi Li recognized him at a glance.

The first person to walk out of the carriage was Jiang Zan, who followed Lü Buwei when he was a merchant, and then followed Lü Buwei to Qin to serve as an official and served as the magistrate of Luoyi County to take care of Lü Buwei's fiefdom. In the end, he took the initiative to resign because Lü Buwei was dismissed from his position as prime minister.

Compared to Chang Yun, Li Si and others, Jiang Zan was Lü Buwei's true loyal confidant!

Xiong Wan's face also changed: "How could Jiang Zan take the initiative to enter the officialdom, and even have to go through the imperial examination!"

"Could it be..."

Xiong Wan cast his eyes on the second carriage, and saw another familiar figure.

Following that, the third and fourth.

One by one, the confidants who took the initiative to resign because Lü Buwei was dismissed from his position as prime minister walked out of the carriage.

One by one, Lü Buwei's former retainers followed closely behind.

As the carriages stopped, more than 3,000 talents from Lü Buwei's faction arrived at the examination hall!

Jiang Zan stepped forward and bowed with a look of shame on his face: "Doctor Jiang Zan, I pay my respects to the king!"

Ying Zheng smiled gently: "I am very happy to see you again, Mr. Jiang."

"With your ability, it is a waste of talent to be a county magistrate, do you still want to participate in this imperial examination?"

Jiang Zan smiled and said: "Since it is a new system of the court, I should respect it."

"And I have been reading books and studying abroad in recent years to make up for my shortcomings, and I also want to pass this exam to test my talent."

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded: "Good."

"I am waiting to see Mr. Jiang's answer to me!"

Mi Li, Xiong Wan and other court officials all changed color.

With the arrival of Lü Buwei's faction, what they did became a joke!

Wei Zhuang, Wei Liao, and Wang Wan looked solemn.

The arrival of a large number of Lu Buwei's confidants meant that this matter was definitely Lu Buwei's work.

What did Lu Buwei want to do?

Did Lu Buwei intend to return to the court?

If Lu Buwei returned to the court, who would make room for him?

Feng Quji, Han Cang, Ying Le and other court officials looked at Mi Li and other court officials with hostility and anger.

Originally, Lu Buwei's faction was only a minority even if they came to participate in the imperial examination.

As a result, after a lot of trouble by Mi Li and others, Lu Buwei's faction instantly became the majority of the imperial examination.

Even if Ying Zheng closed his eyes and selected talents, he could select Lu Buwei's people!

Haven't you, the Chu clan's relatives, had enough of fighting with Lu Buwei?

You have to increase your intensity before the fight even starts!

"Look east, someone is coming!"

After hearing a cry of surprise, everyone looked east, and saw a handsome young man riding a horse and whipping his whip.

After galloping around the military academy, the young man finally stopped thirty feet in front of Ying Chengjiao, and said with excitement: "I am Tian Zhen, the last general, and I pay my respects to the commander-in-chief!"

Ying Chengjiao: ???

Ying Chengjiao climbed down the stairs and asked in surprise: "Master Zhen!"

"Why did you come to my Great Qin?"

Tian Zhen laughed heartily: "I heard that Qin has a special imperial examination for candidates, and those who pass can enter the Great Qin Military Academy to study with Chang'an Jun."

"I hurried over here as fast as I could."

"Fortunately, I didn't delay the time!"

Ying Chengjiao was more and more surprised: "Who told you?"

Tian Zhen answered subconsciously: "The Prime Minister."

Ying Chengjiao shook his head and asked speechlessly: "I am asking you, who said that candidates who pass the imperial examination can enter the Great Qin Military Academy?"

"Selected by imperial examination! Selected!"

"Don't you know what Selected means?"

"It means officials!"

This time, it was Tian Zhen's turn to be confused: "Yes, the Prime Minister said..."

Oh no, I was deceived!

Ying Chengjiao looked at the thousands of people behind Tian Zhen and asked, "Are you all here to enter the Daqin Military Academy?"

Hou Hong and others all bowed their hands and said, "We are all here to take the imperial examinations and become scholars."

Hou Hong and others made it clear that they traveled thousands of miles to Daqin just to get a job in Daqin!

Tian Zhen looked back at the people who had traveled with him in disbelief.

It turns out that only this young master was kept in the dark!

Ying Chengjiao looked at Tian Zhen again and said, "If you are just here to enter the Daqin Military Academy, you don't need to participate in the imperial examinations."

"Why don't you follow me and see the results of these talented people in Qi."

After Tian Zhen was silent for a few breaths, an idea emerged in his mind.

Sighing in his heart, Tian Zhen smiled and said, "Since I'm here, I'd better take the exam."

"If I can serve in Qin, I will have more opportunities to follow Chang'an Jun."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Since you have this intention, why not give it a try."

Tian Zhen hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, King Qin!"

Before the talents in Qi had arranged their carriages and horses, more than a thousand talents from Yan and Zhao also arrived one after another.

The square, which originally had only more than 600 people, now has more than 6,000 candidates standing!

Looking at the crowded square, Xiong Wan said coldly: "The people of Yan, Qi, and Zhao have clearly promised to help us."

"But I never thought... Humph!"

"They are all petty people!"

Mi Li's eyes were also quite solemn:

"Fortunately, we have other preparations!"
