Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 89: Fusu recommended Xiao He as the invigilator, everyone was shocked! Where did Xiao He come from?
"The person recommended by Erchen is called Xiao He. This person serves as the chief proctor of the imperial examination system. Erchen believes that Xiao He will select some outstanding talents for Da Qin and my father."

Fusu looked at the First Emperor and said Xiao He's name.

After Fusu finished speaking, the entire hall instantly became quiet.

It took a while for the ministers to react.

They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. They thought that Mr. Fusu would recommend Prime Minister Li Si.

As a result, a man named Xiao He was elected, but there was no minister named Xiao He among the ministers in the hall.

What Fusu said about Xiao He made everyone very confused.

Chunyu Yue also reacted at this time, with a trace of doubt on his face.

"Xiao He?"

Chunyu Yue recited the name silently in his mind, thinking that Fusu would recommend Li Si.

As a result, the person recommended was a person he had never heard of. Chunyu Yue remembered that there seemed to be no minister named Xiao He in the Great Qin court.

Chunyu Yue's expression suddenly changed. Could it be that this Xiao He was the person behind Fusu?
Chunyu Yue shook his head slightly when he thought of this. This Xiao He could not be the one who helped Su behind the scenes.

If this person helps Su, he will not expose himself easily.

Thinking of this, Chunyu Yue felt even more angry, if Fusu chose Li Si.

Although he was unwilling to do so, he could only give up.

But Fusu recommended someone he had never heard of. In Chun Yuyue's opinion, Fusu looked down on him.

He believes that an unknown person is more suitable to be the invigilator than himself.

Li Si also had a confused look on his face at this time, and when he realized it, there was a trace of doubt on his face.

Fusu did not recommend him, and Li Si did not feel dissatisfied.

Li Si's purpose was that it would be better if Chunyu Yue did not serve as the chief invigilator, but Li Si was more interested in Xiao He mentioned by Fusu.

Fusu can recommend Xiao He, this person must be not simple.

Li Si had a trace of arrogance in his heart. He did not think that this person was more suitable to be the invigilator than him.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne, was stunned for a moment when he heard Fusu's words.

He quickly reacted, looked at Fusu and said, "There is no minister named Xiao He in the court. Who is this Xiao He in Fusu?"

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu and asked about Xiao He.

Ying Zheng also felt that Fusu would choose one between Li Si and Chunyu Yue.

In the end, the person Fusu mentioned was someone he had never heard of before. Could it be that this Xiao He was from Fusu's house?

"Father, Xiao He is a chief official in Pei County."

"My son had a conversation with this official when I passed by Peixian County before."

"This man is very talkative and knowledgeable!"

"It's just that I don't have any background to hold the position of chief official in Peixian County!"

"My father wants to select talents within Daqin. This is an opportunity for many talents with no background and ability."

"If Xiao He, who has the same experience, serves as the chief proctor, I believe that Xiao He will definitely be able to select outstanding talents for Da Qin."

Fusu looked at his father and revealed Xiao He's identity.

Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard Fusu's words, and it took them a while to react.

The candidate recommended by Fusu was actually a chief official in the county.

Not to mention the chief official in the county, even the county magistrate was not an important official position in Da Qin.

The chief official of a county serves as the chief invigilator and selects talents within Daqin.

In the eyes of the ministers, this was a big joke.

"Your Majesty, I do not agree with the candidate recommended by Mr. Fusu."

"The imperial examination system is a decree issued by His Majesty himself. People in Daqin will pay attention to the imperial examination system."

"The choice of the chief proctor will naturally attract people's attention."

"If you don't choose someone with a good reputation and an important official position, many people will not only see clearly the imperial examination system but also doubt whether the imperial examination system really selects talents." Chunyu Yue stood up and vetoed the candidate proposed by Fusu in front of the First Emperor. .

In Chun Yuyue's opinion, let a chief official in a county become the chief invigilator.

It was a humiliation for him that the servants in his dignified court could not compare with the chief officials of a county.

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Some ministers who supported Chun Yuyue stood up and echoed Chun Yuyue's words.

In addition to having good families, they are also important ministers in the court.

Now the chief official in a county is serving as an official in the same palace as them, which they feel is a humiliation.

Chun Yuyue felt a little more relaxed when he saw someone supporting him.

With so many people's objections, His Majesty will not agree to the person selected by Fusu to become the chief invigilator.

Li Si didn't speak when he heard Chunyu Yue's words. This time he was still a little conflicted.

On the one hand, as the prime minister, he did not become the chief invigilator, but instead let a county official become the chief invigilator. Li Si felt a little dissatisfied.

On the other hand, if this person was chosen by Mr. Fusu, he must have good abilities.

Li Si struggled for a while, but decided not to share his suggestion and let His Majesty choose.

Meng Yi looked at Fusu with a trace of confusion on his face. This was the first time he heard Fusu say the name Xiao He.

Although Meng Yi heard this name for the first time, he believed in Mr. Fusu's vision.

The person Mr. Fusu chooses will definitely be good.

Hu Hai frowned and looked at Fusu and the few disciples who defected to him from Fusu's house.

It was not said that there was a person named Xiao He in Fusu's house. Hu Hai felt that things were not as simple as Fusu said.

Hu Hai did not think that Fusu met and talked with Xiao He by chance in Peixian County. There must be something wrong with it.

When Ying Zheng heard that so many ministers stood up to oppose, he still looked at Fusu with a calm face and said, "You have also heard the suggestions of the ministers. Fusu, what else do you have to say?"

When everyone heard what the First Emperor said, they looked at Fusu.

With so many people opposing Fusu's recommendation of Xiao He, Fusu would probably retreat in the face of difficulties.

The corners of Fusu's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile on his face:

"This time, my father was going to select talents in Daqin and let Xiao He, who has no background, be the chief invigilator."

"On the contrary, it can let the talents in Da Qin see how much my father values ​​these talents. I believe that many talents will come to take the exam."

"Xiao He's talents are clear to me. This person is outside Qilin Hall."

"Father will also need to select talents in the future, why not take a look at the Xiao He recommended by my son today?"

"If my father and the ministers are dissatisfied with the Xiao He recommended by my ministers, my ministers will no longer recommend candidates for the invigilator."

Fusu expressed his thoughts with a smile on his face.

Many ministers in the hall looked surprised when they heard Fusu's words. Fusu was so confident.

In front of so many ministers and His Majesty, Xiao He, who was just an official in the county, was so praised.

What surprised them even more was that this person was actually outside Qilin Hall.

Everyone now fully understood that Fusu wanted to recommend Xiao He to His Majesty today.

"Xuan, Xiao He enters the palace!"

Ying Zheng glanced at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch looked outside the hall and shouted loudly.

Soon, led by two young eunuchs, a middle-aged man in plain clothes walked in.

Everyone in the hall looked at this person. This person was Xiao He, recommended by Master Fusu!

"Your Majesty, Xiao He, pays homage to your Majesty!"

Xiao He came to the middle of the hall and stopped, bending deeply to salute the First Emperor.
