Daqin: Qin Shihuang can hear my heart

Chapter 26
"Actually, the Eldest Young Master is right. The ruler is benevolent, but he has not grasped the key point of 'benevolence'. The law of benevolence is to treat all appointed people equally and be fair."

"What is Daqin lacking now? Isn't it talents? There is an allusion that goes well, a thousand pieces of gold buys a horse bone. If everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty is at your disposal, why not ask for talents."

Oh!
The more Ying Zheng listened to Li Zhao's voice, the more his heart became more and more moved. He had read it before, so why didn't he think of it?

Let others make good use of them, recruit all talents and let them screen by themselves. Isn't laziness and mediocrity not avoidable?

"Good idea!" Ying Zheng was pleasantly surprised.

He felt that today's trip was not in vain. Abolish official schools, promote private schools, increase the number of scholars, conduct imperial examinations, select talents, treat talents well, and treat them equally.

This is really a good idea!

If Daqin really implements it like this, he can see that Daqin 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.

The first is the obstacle to innovation, which is the biggest problem. Just like the last time the system of prefectures and counties was implemented, the number of opponents was unknown, let alone the implementation of the imperial examination.

Secondly, the abolition of official schools and the promotion of private schools cannot be accomplished overnight, as there are too many things involved.

Official learning, learning from officials.

According to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, non-official scholars cannot be recommended for appointment, which has led some people to worship officials as teachers in every possible way, so as to be recommended and serve as officials in the court.

This is one of the ways of selecting officials in the Great 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 teachers?It must be rich and powerful.

The official status must be high. If it is abolished at once, there will be a lot of opposition from the officials, and the officials themselves are composed of dignitaries.

This is the problem right now.

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

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

Great rebellion, he still remembers it in his heart.

Soon, he left.

Half a month later, the Zhangtai Palace privately released the news, abolishing the official school, abolishing the recommendation, opening up the private school, and implementing the imperial examination. It also explained in detail that students are the key to the prosperity of the country. No matter what their status is, they can participate in the imperial examination. .

No matter who you are, you must treat any student well and let them conduct the imperial examination fairly, otherwise you will violate the law and you will be blamed.

The news spread secretly and spread among certain circles. The rich and powerful responded most strongly, and they all ran to Li Si's mansion.

"Li Xiang, Your Majesty's heart seems to be very firm, what should we do?" Yan Jun, one of the nine ministers who spoke, bribed Li Si with a lot of money for the purpose of getting him to recommend his son, and he was about to succeed Yes, but this happened.

With a tense face, Li Si slowly waved his hands and said, "Let's talk about it in the meeting!"

Yes, he has contacted many dignitaries and is going 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, Your Majesty wants you to go to court, so hurry up and get ready!"

Li Zhao was drowsy, and after being told this, he immediately woke up for the most part, and soon followed after tidying up.

During the court meeting, Li Zhao was arranged in front of the driver, standing alone, which was very funny.

Li Si, as the head of the powerful ministers, stood in the forefront. He was surprised to see Li Zhao at the first glance, but he didn't react too much because he was hiding in his mind, and quickly moved his eyes away.

Li Zhao noticed Li Si's unkind gaze, raised his eyes slightly, and hated in his heart: "Old bastard, I've already left Li's residence, why don't you let me go, this time you instigated Chunyu Yue, who will you instigate next time?"Damn it, I don't have that much thought to play tricks with you.

Ying Zheng was in a high position. Hearing this, he smiled slightly and thought to himself: How deep is this kid's shadow on Li Si's heart!

The court meeting discussed some recent matters, and soon it was coming to an end. At this time, Ying Zheng said: "Masters, there is still a performance. If there is no performance, we will retreat."

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

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

In the rumors yesterday, there was a clear statement about what the "imperial examination" was.

Another person came out, and other powerful ministers also echoed their words.

"The ministers think this is inappropriate, please don't set this precedent, Your Majesty."

"."

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

Yan Jun had been prepared for a long time, holding the scroll with both hands and said: "The imperial examination is an untested policy, and it is not advisable. Since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, recommendation has been the first, and the country has flourished. It is really a good national policy, and the imperial examination is not as good as it is."

"What's more, there has never been such a precedent in history. Are you not afraid of others' dirty words?"

Another person came out and reported: "I think Yan Zongzheng's words are justified. Since the beginning of our Great Qin Dynasty, all the people have bowed down and worshiped, and the appointment of officials has won the hearts of the people. It is not the best policy to take advantage of the country's remnants of evil."

Some people even said: "The imperial examinations are open to the common people. Where will we put the powerful? The people are humble, so why go to the hall?"

You say what you say, Ying Zheng expected that these people would definitely oppose it, but he didn't expect the opposition to be so strong that no one agreed with it.

Is Daqin corrupted to this extent?

Or does it mean that there are no enlightened people among the powerful ministers?

Ying Zheng was very disappointed.

Feng Quji saw the emperor's displeasure, and hurriedly came out, saying: "Everyone is exaggerating! What you said is the truth, but do you know that there are many slack officials among the officials, and the mediocre ones are all over the government and the public. If this continues, I am afraid that if the people's hearts are not won, the country will not be a country."

The right prime minister has spoken, and the left prime minister is indispensable.

Li Si went out, held the scroll in his hand, and retorted: "Your Majesty, what Feng Xiang said is wrong! Although there are people who are lazy in the court, it is all for a while. The reason is caused by the jade market. When the market calms down, Everything is fine."

"President Feng can't generalize."

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

"Did someone bribe you? Want to get in the way?"

One sentence hit Li Si's mind.

"Absurd! I, Li Si, am upright, how can I accept bribes? Feng Xiang, don't spit on people." Li Si retorted, and said to Ying Zheng one by one, "Your Majesty, you know best how a minister is an official. Please learn from me."

Ying Zheng frowned.

The dispute between power and ministers is unavoidable, what the emperor has to do is to balance, but ever since he heard Li Zhao's aspirations, he has always felt displeased with Li Si.

But there is no evidence right now, so Li Si will not do anything.

"Okay, don't argue anymore, Li Xiang is an official." Just as he was about to stop the two from arguing, Ying Zheng spoke.

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

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