Chapter 664: The Sword Is Pointed at the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers! I Am Waiting for Them to Hand in the Papers, What Are You Waiting For?

Along the way, Xiong Wan was in a good mood.

Although Ying Chengyu broke their two shots in succession.

But with the joint efforts of all the courtiers and dignitaries, they finally made a hole in the division of civil servants!

Ying Chengyu suddenly sighed softly: "Promoting scholars for the country is a major matter for the country, but there are many villains who come to take the exam."

"This is a great misfortune for the Qin Dynasty!"

"Mi Taipu, do you think so?"

Mi Li was suddenly criticized, but she didn't panic at all. She just said warmly: "After all, dividing the civil servants into different divisions is a new strategy that is different from the old ones."

"The Lord of Chang'an conquered many battlefields, so it is normal for the strategies he presented to have some omissions."

"But even if there are some omissions, this strategy will eventually be able to select some talents for the court and demonstrate Lord Chang'an's dedication to the country!"

Mi Li's voice was gentle, but the sarcasm in her words almost overflowed.

Doesn't this mean that Ying Chengxuan is good at military strategy but not good at government affairs? The strategies he presented are full of loopholes and useless for the country, which can only show his dedication to the country!

Ying Chengyu smiled: "There are indeed many omissions in my strategy."

"Just because I never thought that there would be so many insects trying to cheat to pass the exam."

"I never thought that there would be many silverfish in the court, cooperating with these insects to commit fraud!"

Mi Li frowned slightly: "It is true that Chongzhi cheated."

"But there are still silverfish in the court cooperating with them to commit fraud?"

"This is happening!"

Ying Chengyu suddenly stopped and looked at Mi Li: "Does Servant Mi really not know?"

Mi Li also stopped and looked at Ying Chengyu without giving up: "Could Mr. Chang'an doubt me?"

The four eyes met each other, the atmosphere was cold and solemn!

Li Si, Wang Wan and others did not expect that Ying Chengyu would suddenly attack now and here, and even have the intention of provoking a conflict!

Li Si immediately stepped out of the queue and whispered: "Chang'an Lord, calm down!"

"If Lord Chang'an has this suspicion, I can cooperate with Lord Chang'an to investigate carefully."

Even if you are sure that Mi Li and others cooperated with the candidates to cheat, you have no evidence!

The "Qin Code" stipulates the crime of false accusation and the crime of slander.

Ying Chengyu's direct questioning of Mi Li without evidence can be considered slander!

If Ying Chengyu said this in front of Ying Zheng, it would be considered a false accusation!

Then the focus of the next struggle between the two sides will quickly change from dividing the imperial examination to criminal investigation and offense and defense.

But Li Si has no doubt that Mi Li and others will kill all their own children in the examination room in order to counter Ying Chengyu!

This is very detrimental to Ying Chengyu!

Ying Chengyu looked at Li Si in surprise: "I am very calm."

"I just saw that Imperial Servant Mi had many thoughts about the imperial examinations, so I just asked."

"After all, this section of the imperial examination has just begun. If any problems are discovered, we can fix them as soon as possible to avoid delaying my examination of the Great Qin Examination."

"What's so cool about this?"

"You think so, Mrs. Mi?"

Mi Li looked at Ying Chengyu intently and suddenly smiled: "I am lucky to be valued by Lord Chang'an!"

"I'm sorry for my incompetence, but I really didn't notice that there was a silverfish in my court!"

Ying Chengyu sighed regretfully: "That's right, what about Li Tingwei?"

"Did you see any flaws or find any silverfish?"

Li Si:? ? ?

Are you having fun?

Li Si smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't find anything at all."

Ying Chengyu looked at Han Cang again: "Did Han Shangqing notice any problems?"

After asking Jiu Qing and his subordinates, Ying Chengyu asked them one after another.

Until half an hour later, Wang Wan finally couldn't help but remind him: "If Lord Chang'an really has ideas in this regard, why not report it to the king and ask the king to ask the ministers."

"Didn't Lord Chang'an just say that he wanted to lead us to the king?"

"You and I are standing here asking questions one by one, which will inevitably keep the king waiting for a long time!"

Ying Chengyu estimated the time and nodded with a smile: "What the Prime Minister Zuo said is true."

"Everyone, please follow me."

It was only a few hundred feet long, and it took Ying Chengyu more than half an hour to reach the five-horse cart.

After bowing his hands in a salute, Ying Chengxuan said solemnly: "I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, that a total of 6,395 gentlemen have entered the military academy for scientific examinations."

"Seventeen more people are hiding fraudulent items and have been escorted back to Xianyang City by Tingwei."

The curtain of the five-horse cart was lifted, and Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "Good."

"Thank you, dear friends."

"I never thought that there would be so many insects mixed into Sir!"

Mi Li cupped her hands and said, "If these insects are really allowed to get into the court, it may cause a catastrophe!"

"Thanks to the king's wisdom and the keenness of Lord Chang'an, we were able to uncover the worms among them."

"I believe that the people who will take the imperial examination this time will definitely be able to recruit talents for the imperial court!"

Ying Chengyu shook his head: "I thought that even if I set up strict inspections at the entrance of the military academy, I still couldn't prevent all insects."

Mi Li looked at Ying Chengxuan with a smile: "Why did Lord Chang'an say this?"

"The soldiers under the command of Lord Chang'an have taken off all the clothes of all gentlemen and inspected them carefully."

"Is it possible that Mr. Chang'an still feels uneasy?"

Ying Chengyu glanced at Mi Li and said calmly: "Using foreign objects to cheat is the lowest and crudest method."

"In addition to cheating by borrowing foreign objects, I believe that there will be some silverfish in the court who will leak the test questions to the gentleman in advance, so that he can memorize the answers early."

"If this strategy is adopted, how should the court control it?"

Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and other important officials all changed color.

You know, the subordinate officials are just offering suggestions, and the only ones who can really read the whole test paper are the three dukes and nine ministers of the Qin Dynasty!

If Ying Chengjiao's question just now was just a map cannon.

Then Ying Chengjiao's words now are undoubtedly aimed at the three dukes and nine ministers of the Qin Dynasty!

Li Si lowered his head speechlessly.

Are you kidding!

Mi Li pretended to be serious and asked: "Chang'an Jun just asked us if we found any termites in the court who were colluding with insects to cheat."

"Now Chang'an Jun is talking about this in front of the king."

"Has Chang'an Jun found evidence?"

Ying Chengqiu said frankly: "No."

Mi Li breathed a sigh of relief and still asked seriously: "Why did Chang'an Jun slander us?!"

Ying Chengqiu said seriously: "Because if I want to destroy the imperial examination system of my Great Qin, I will do this."

All the important officials looked at Ying Chengqiu in surprise.

Then Ying Chengjiao continued: "If I want to destroy the imperial examination, I will first prevent those talented people from ordinary families from participating in the examination."

"Then let my own children bring cheating items into the examination, or directly bribe important officials to ask for the examination questions, or even bribe the invigilators to take the examination on their behalf."

"In this way, the scholars recommended by the imperial examination will be exactly the same as the scholars recommended by various places, and the imperial examination will be useless, but will be a waste of money."

"Over time, the king will naturally despise the imperial examination, and even abolish this policy!"

Mi Li, Xiong Wan and others looked at Ying Chengjiao in disbelief.

Isn't this their plan!

Using various means to occupy the quota of the imperial examination and let more family children enter the court to hold important positions is just a superficial appearance.

Their fundamental purpose is to let Ying Zheng find out that the officials obtained by imperial examinations are exactly the same as those obtained by recommendation, and then despise or even abolish the imperial examinations!

Mi Li and others looked at the people around them with a little more vigilance and suspicion, and couldn't help but wonder if someone betrayed them, and revealed their plan to Ying Chengjiao!

But what they didn't know was that Ying Chengjiao didn't need to learn their plan through bribery and luring.

In the original history, when Emperor Wen of Sui abolished the Nine-Rank System and opened the test policy to select talents, opening the curtain of the imperial examination era, the aristocratic families used a series of moves such as blocking the road, cheating, leaking questions, taking exams for others, and lobbying to hit Emperor Wen of Sui!

Emperor Wen of Sui, who was hit by this series of moves or had no strategy to deal with, finally abolished the imperial examination policy!

Fortunately, Emperor Wen of Sui died early, and Emperor Yang of Sui resumed the imperial examination two years after he ascended the throne, establishing the Jinshi examination, which not only revived the imperial examination system, but also laid the foundation for the imperial examination system!

Ying Chengjiao was just learning from history.

Ying Zheng stood up and said solemnly: "What Chang'an Jun said makes sense!"

"I believe in you, my dear ministers, but I have to be on guard."

"Does Chang'an Jun have a plan to deal with it?"

Ying Chengjiao bowed again: "I have been thinking about it day and night, and finally got a good plan."

"I have prepared a second set of test questions!"

All the ministers were stunned: "What? Chang'an Jun prepared a second set of test questions? How can the important matter of selecting talents in the court be treated as a joke!"

"Then the test papers that we have been thinking about for half a year are useless? Is this the selection of talents by the court or Chang'an Jun!"

"How dare Chang'an Jun act recklessly in such a big matter! Chang'an Jun, don't forget that you are just a lord and a senior minister!"

All the court officials couldn't help but criticize.

The questions that they spent half a year to compile were abolished just because of Ying Chengjiao's guess?

And they were kept in the dark all the time!

More importantly, the bias of the test questions will directly affect the results of selecting officials, and selecting talents is a huge power.

Ying Chengjiao quietly took this power in his hands.

Who would be willing!

Ying Chengjiao looked at the ministers and explained frankly: "I only prepared a second set of test papers in the Ming Mathematics Subject."

"Mathematics does not distinguish between benevolence, righteousness, good and evil, only right and wrong."

"And when I formulated the test questions, I also focused on the difficulty. The difficulty of the B paper I made is similar to the difficulty of the A paper set by my colleagues."

"If the scores of the A and B papers of the gentleman in the field are similar, the score of the A paper will be used for calculation."

"But if the scores of the A and B papers of the gentleman in the field are too different?"

Ying Chengjiao smiled: "What do you think, colleagues, is the reason?"

Although the ministers still disagreed with Ying Chengjiao's sudden B paper.

But the ministers had to admit that mathematics was the most difficult subject to forge and the easiest subject to judge.

If you know, you know. If you don't know, you don't know.

Right is right, if you don't know, you don't know.

If most students have similar scores in Paper A and Paper B, but there are a few students whose Paper B scores are much lower than Paper A.

Then it is difficult to have any other explanation except cheating!

A thin layer of sweat seeped out of Mi Li's forehead, and he nodded in agreement: "What Chang'an Jun said does make some sense."

"Of course, the selection of scholars by imperial examinations is a major event involving the selection of talents in the country, and it should not be decided in one word."

"I think Chang'an Jun should take out Paper B, which Chang'an Jun made himself, and let your colleagues check it."

"If all colleagues think that the difficulty is similar, you can use it."

As long as he can see the paper, Mi Li has the confidence to pass the answers to the examination room!

However, Ying Chengjiao smiled and shook his head: "Calculating the time, the gentlemen in the room should have started answering Paper B."

I am stalling because I am waiting for them to hand out the papers.

What are you waiting for?
