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

Chapter 94 The nobles of the six countries were shocked. The proposer of the imperial examination was actually Fusu!

The young man nodded when he heard the old man's words and walked straight into the hall.

There were already more than a dozen men in gorgeous clothes sitting in the hall, including old men and middle-aged men.

"I have met you sirs!"

The young man looked at everyone and bowed his hands.

"Wang Jun, what are the people in Xianyang City talking about today?"

Wang Feng, who was sitting at the main seat in the hall, stared at the young man and said.

A few days ago, he came to the streets of Xianyang City and heard from the people that there were new notices posted on the city walls.

Wang Feng was curious about what the new notice said and went to the city wall.

When we arrived at the city wall, we saw that it was true that Ying Zheng issued a decree to reduce the taxes of the people by 20%.

He also received a large amount of money from the homes of squire and nobles.

At the city wall, Wang Feng was very embarrassed in front of other people. Fortunately, he left in time without hearing other people laughing at him.

Returning to his aggravation, Wang Feng felt fear in his heart.

Da Qin has always asked the people to pay relatively heavy taxes, and now the taxes are reduced by 20%.

This will make the people have a greater sense of belonging to Da Qin, and Wang Feng will not dare to leave his home again.

He was afraid that other people would recognize him and laugh at him.

So he asked his villain Wang Jun to go to the streets of Xianyang City every day to find out what the people were talking about.

Today is also the day once a month when nobles from the six countries gather to discuss matters.

As soon as the staff arrived, servant Wang Jun returned to the house before the matter could be discussed.

The other nobles from the Six Nations sitting on both sides of Wang Feng also looked at Wang Jun.

"Sir, a new notice was posted on the city wall today."

"The notice says that Ying Zheng will hold the imperial examination system."

Wang Jun heard Wang Feng's inquiry and quickly told him about the new notice posted on the city wall.

Wang Feng and other nobles from the six countries had a look of confusion on their faces when they heard Wang Jun's words.

This was the first time they heard the words imperial examination system, and they didn’t understand what the imperial examination system was!
"Wang Jun, what is the imperial examination system?"

Wang Feng looked at his servant Wang Jun with a trace of doubt on his face.

The eyes of the other nobles from the six countries were once again focused on Wang Jun.

"Master!"

"The imperial examination system is where Qin Shihuang selects talents within the Qin Dynasty."

"The exam will be held from the county seat, and the candidates who pass the exam will go to the county seat to take the exam."

"Candidates who pass the exam in the county town will go to Xianyang City to take the exam."

"Candidates who pass the exam in Xianyang City will meet Ying Zheng."

"Ying Zheng will select the talents among them and let these talents become officials of Da Qin to serve Ying Zheng."

Wang Jun looked at Wang Feng and the other nobles from the six countries and explained the imperial examination system.

When Wang Feng and others heard Wang Jun's words, their expressions changed drastically!
"Yingzheng actually wants to select talents within Daqin? Or is he selecting one level at a time?"

Wang Feng stood up, his face slightly pale and he stared at his servant Wang Jun.

When Wang Jun saw his master Wang Feng staring at him like this, he felt a trace of fear in his heart and said tremblingly:

"This is what is written on the notice on the city wall. The notice cannot be faked. Ying Zheng really wants to recruit talents in Daqin."

Wang Jun looked at Wang Feng and once again confirmed that Ying Zheng wanted to recruit talents.

"boom!"

When Wang Feng heard Wang Jun's words, he slammed the wine bottle on the side to the ground.

"Brother Wang Feng, Ying Zheng's method of selecting talents this time is very strange."

"I have to say that this method can indeed select many talents for Ying Zheng."

"Those talented people with no background will be selected by Ying Zheng once they pass the exam." "They will definitely repay Ying Zheng's kindness, so that Great Qin will become more powerful."

An old man looked at Wang Feng with a solemn look on his face and said.

"What Mr. Tian said makes sense. The imperial examination system is really powerful this time. I wonder who came up with such a method for Ying Zheng!"

A middle-aged man with a thick beard, a look of emotion on his face.

"Ying Zheng had several powerful ministers around him. When Ying Zheng was conquering the six kingdoms, except for Wang Jian and Wang Ben, father and son, they were attacking the city and building strongholds."

"Prime Minister Li Si also made suggestions for Ying Zheng. In my opinion, the person who dedicated the imperial examination system to Ying Zheng this time was Li Si."

The old man called Mr. Tian just mentioned Li Si's name with a hint of anger on his face.

Several nobles from the Six Nations in the hall nodded slightly. Everyone knew about Li Si's reputation.

Several of them also thought it was Li Si who offered Ying Zheng the imperial examination system to select talents.

"Li Si, this thief, is from Chu and actually assists Ying Zheng."

"If I have the chance, I will definitely kill this thief."

A Chu nobleman had a look of anger on his face when he heard Li Si's name.

Li Si was born in the Chu Kingdom, and in his opinion, Li Si was going to serve the King of Chu.

As a result, Li Si defected to Qin to serve Ying Zheng. As a noble of Chu, he naturally could not forgive Li Si.

"It is not necessarily the imperial examination system that Li Si proposed to Ying Zheng. As a servant of Da Qin, Fu Su's teacher."

"Chun Yuyue was also a learned man, and he might have offered suggestions to Yingzheng to select talents through the imperial examination system."

Wang Feng heard the discussion of several other nobles and said Chun Yuyue's name.

"Chun Yuyue, an old man, took so much money from us and still couldn't get the thing done."

"This old man only has money and fame in his eyes. He is the servant of Da Qin and the teacher of Fusu."

"He is usually very arrogant. I don't believe that he can come up with such a powerful strategy as the imperial examination system."

The man with a thick beard had a hint of disdain on his face when he heard Chun Yuyue's name.

Several nobles nodded slightly when they heard the thick-bearded man's words. They didn't think Chunyu Yue had this ability.

"Although Chunyu Yue is greedy for money and fame, he still has certain abilities, otherwise he would not be able to achieve the official position of servant."

"What's more, Chunyu Yue is still an important figure in Confucianism. Chunyu Yue has the possibility to propose the imperial examination system with Ying Zheng."

Wang Feng did not pay attention to the complaints of the man with a thick beard and continued to explain to everyone why Chunyu Yue was able to propose the imperial examination system to Ying Zheng.

Everyone in the hall heard Wang Feng's reasonable analysis and nodded slightly. They felt that Wang Feng's words made sense.

Wang Jun, standing in the middle of the hall, heard the conversation between these nobles and the master, and there was a trace of hesitation on his face whether to tell what he knew.

"Wang Jun, you look hesitant. Say whatever else you want to say."

Wang Feng saw the hesitation on his servant's face. He knew that his servant still had something to say but he didn't dare to say it.

After hearing Wang Feng's words, other nobles also looked at Wang Jun.

"Master!"

"Li Si did not propose the imperial examination system to Ying Zheng, nor did Chunyu Yue propose it to Ying Zheng."

"The notice clearly stated that it was Fusu who proposed the imperial examination system to Ying Zheng."

Wang Jun looked at Wang Feng and the others and said Fusu's name.

"what?"

After hearing Wang Jun's words, Wang Feng and other nobles in the hall stood up.

With surprise in their eyes, several nobles dropped the wine bottles on the ground without holding them.

In the entire hall, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of wine bottles falling to the ground.

Everyone looked at Wang Jun blankly, and it took a while for everyone to react.

He sat down again, with a look of shock still on his face.
