Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

  Chapter 259 Candidates and Examination Papers

   Madam Zheng's reaction was seen by Mr. Changping. He frowned slightly, but soon relaxed it again.

  The banquet continues.

  Because Yao Meiren had just given birth and was unable to see the wind, Yao Jia was mainly responsible for entertaining the guests for this banquet.

  Everyone understands that the real protagonist of Yao Meiren's banquet is Mo Jun, but this cannot be said in the open, so this banquet still focuses on celebrating the birth of the "sixth princess".

  After a banquet, the host and guest have enjoyed themselves.

  Many guests got up to leave one after another, and among all the guests, Mrs. Zheng was the one who left the fastest.

  Because she felt that her time was running out, she needed to seize the last bit of time and give her eldest son Fusu a little more reminder.

   "Fusu, you have to remember that you are from the state of Qin, you have been there all your life, do you understand?"

   Mrs. Zheng just took Fusu into the carriage, and said to Fusu with a serious face.

   "Queen, why are you saying this?"

   Fusu had some doubts in his eyes, obviously he didn't understand why Mrs. Zheng said this to him suddenly.

  But Mrs. Zheng didn't explain, but rather hastily said: "Don't ask, Fusu, you must remember what the queen mother said next, please..."

   "Chen Mojun, see Mrs. Zheng, the eldest son."

   Before Madam Zheng finished speaking, Mo Jun's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage, and upon hearing this voice, Madam Zheng's face suddenly turned pale.

  Seeing Mrs. Zheng's face, Fusu couldn't help worrying and said, "Mother, are you alright?"

  Madam Zheng forced a smile, and said: "The queen mother is fine, your teacher is looking for you, you go out first!"

   "Mother, aren't you going out?"

   "Your teacher is here to look for you, and the queen mother will not go out."

   "My son knows."

   Fusu scratched his head, although he didn't know how his mother knew that the teacher was looking for him, but he still cupped his hands, opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

  The moment Fusu lifted the curtain of the car, Mrs. Zheng's eyes happened to meet Mo Jun's eyes for a moment, and it was this moment of meeting eyes that instantly made Mrs. Zheng's heart tremble.

this moment.

  Madam Zheng understood that the guess in her mind before was probably correct.

   "Mr. Shengping, please take care of Fusu."

   "Madam please take care."

Mo Jun hugged Madam Zheng with a calm expression, then raised his hand, and Madam Zheng's carriage left slowly. Compared with the time when Madam Zheng's carriage returned, there were several more palace guards quietly around. .

  From this moment on, Mrs. Zheng can leave the stage.

  Although Yingzheng's plan has deviated a little bit, overall the impact is not significant, as long as the 'assessment' needs to be started in advance.

   Although Mrs. Zheng saw through part of the chess game with the help of Ying Zheng's hints, according to the 'test rules', Mrs. Zheng was barely qualified.

  Those who pass are not allowed to interfere with other people's 'assessment', so for the next period of time, Madam Zheng must stay in her palace, and must not touch others at will until the 'assessment' is over.

  ······

   "Teacher, what can you do with Fusu?"

   "Before the king left, he gave an examination paper to the minister. Now that the eldest son is familiar with government affairs, the minister feels that it is time to hand over the examination paper to the eldest son."

   Jun Mo arched his hands towards Fusu, then took out a blueprint from his sleeve and handed it to Fusu.

   Fusu took a look and asked, "What is this?"

Mo Jun explained: "This is the blueprint of the 'Zhengguo Canal'. Han Fei, the Ninth Prince of South Korea, brought a skilled craftsman to present this blueprint when he was an envoy to the Qin State. The country has thousands of miles of fertile fields out of thin air."

   "Before, the king ordered people to start building the 'Zhengguo Canal', but not long ago, this canal was temporarily suspended due to some accidents."

   "At that time, the king was busy with the royal conquest, so he didn't have time to deal with it, so he decided to leave this matter to the eldest son as the exam question for the 'supervising the country'."

   "Your Majesty hopes that the Eldest Young Master can complete this examination question independently, so this time I cannot provide assistance to the Eldest Young Master. I hope that the Eldest Young Master will not disappoint the King's expectations."

  Hearing Mo Jun's words, Fu Su suddenly felt that the blueprint in his hand became a bit heavy, and then he only heard him say seriously: "Fu Su understands."

   Not long.

   Fusu left with the blueprint in his hand.

  Watching Fusu's leaving back, Mo Jun's eyes gradually deepened.

  The drawing just now is Ying Zheng's assessment?

yes.

   But no.

  The problem of 'Zheng Guoqu' is indeed an assessment set up by Ying Zheng, but this assessment is not aimed at Fusu, but Changping Lord Xiong Qi.

  The reason is that the problem of "Zheng Guoqu" is not because of other reasons. It is precisely because of corruption by an official from the "Chu foreign relatives lineage", which led to the delay of the project.

  Originally, this corruption was not a big deal for the current state of Qin.

   But later, Ying Zheng made some manipulations, which quietly turned this matter into a 'major case'.

  Currently, this matter is no longer able to solve the problem by beheading one or two people. If the investigation continues all the way, at least a dozen officials from the "Chu Foreign Relatives Lineage" will be implicated.

  Although this case was named by Yingzheng and handed over to Fusu to handle, it will inevitably be known to Mr. Changping by a very "coincidence".

Until then.

   Mr. Changping has only two choices.

  One is to abandon the pawns and save the handsome.

   Either he does it himself, and cleans up the interior first, so as to avoid involving more people in this matter.

   Or he used his power to temporarily cover up the matter, and then tried his best to keep those officials, gradually turning this 'big case' into an unsolved case.

Thus.

  The forces of the 'Chu foreign relatives lineage' will not suffer too much loss, but correspondingly, Fusu's 'assessment' failed.

  Second, Mr. Changping took the initiative to help Su pass the assessment.

Under Ying Zheng's arrangement, it is almost impossible to pass the assessment based on the ability to support Su alone. If Mr. Changping wants to successfully help Su pass the assessment, he has to spend his own resources to fill the hole, and this requires him to pay a huge amount. cost.

   Two choices.

  If Mr. Changping chooses 'one'.

   Then the result is naturally happy for everyone, because the option "one" seems to be full of corruption and perverting the law, but this means that Mr. Changping pays more attention to the clan behind him.

  Ying Zheng doesn't care that his officials use their power to seek a little self-interest, even if it may create a group of corrupt officials, Ying Zheng can turn a blind eye or close one eye.

  Choosing 'one' means that Mr. Changping passed the assessment, and then there will be no matter about Mrs. Zheng and the Queen Mother Huayang, because Mr. Changping is the first fish Yingzheng wants to catch.

  If the fish doesn't bite the bait, then naturally the Empress Dowager Huayang and Mrs. Zheng will not be able to be contacted. At that time, it is only necessary to set up a small assessment for Fusu.

  But if Changping-kun chooses 'two'...
