Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed. During this month, the entire Great Qin was in chaos.
First was the disbandment of the Hall of Virtue, the appearance of paper making, the entry of refined salt into the market, and then the release of the order to move the despots. It could be said to have caused an uproar.
Many of the tyrants felt that something was wrong. In addition, many of them were the remnants of the six dynasties. They did not give up on the idea of destroying Qin and began to disobey orders not to go to Xianyang.
However, very quickly, Meng Tian actually left 200,000 Meng soldiers behind to guard the Great Wall and personally led 100,000 Qin soldiers back to Xianyang. With the power of wind and thunder, she swept away all the powerful people. Anyone who resisted and did not reach Xianyang would be exterminated immediately.
Resisting foreign aggression would require domestic stability. If the country was not at peace, even if the Great Wall was built now, it would still be breached by the remnants of the six dynasties from within.
At this moment, those powerful people realized that although the First Emperor was old, he still had his imperial prestige. They all expressed their willingness to go to Xianyang.
Just like that, the order to move the despots was carried out by Qin Shihuang with a stick and a carrot.
The imperial examination system was also announced to the world.
Xiao Han also appeared in court for the first time today.
"Xiao Han is an Imperial Censor, a Deputy Censor, a High Official, with a silver seal and green ribbon.”
As soon as they entered the court, Qin Shihuang had the eunuch announce Xiao Han's title.
"Boom!"
For a moment, the entire court was shocked.
Imperial Censor! That was a position that could compete with the Prime Minister! His power was only second to that of the Prime Minister. He had the terrifying power to supervise all officials and order the censors to impeach all officials according to regulations. This was almost the end of the civil service.
Before this, none of them had heard of Xiao Han's name. However, in a single day, Xiao Han had actually been promoted from a civilian to an imperial censor. This promotion speed was simply a leap to the heavens.
One had to know that a person had to start from the three elders in order to become an imperial censor. Above them was the county magistrate, the prefect, the provincial governor, the lower doctor, the middle doctor, the upper doctor, and so on.
It would take at least 20 to 30 years to complete a procedure, and most people might not be able to sit in this position even if they spent their entire lives.
However, Xiao Han was actually granted the title of Imperial Censor in a single day. It was simply a legend.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the beginning of the ceremony.
"Your Majesty, you can't! This person has no merit and no achievements, so he is directly granted the title of Imperial Censor. We are not satisfied, and the world is not satisfied. Please retract your order.”
"You must not. Please retract your order, Emperor.”
"Emperor, please retract your order."
……
The moment Qin Shihuang announced his appointment, the eyes of all the officials in the court turned red. They looked at Xiao Han as if he was their enemy.
All of them who were able to enter the imperial court had gone through life and death with the First Emperor. When they swept through the six countries, Xiao Han was still hiding in some ditch.
They had worked so hard to climb to this position. How could they tolerate a commoner running over their heads?
They all knelt on the ground and shouted,"Please retract your order, Your Majesty."
"Humph! To put it nicely, he was going to announce Xiao Han's achievements!”
Qin Shi Huang snorted coldly in the face of the pressure from the court officials and said to a eunuch beside him.
"Xiao Han, you developed the Dispelling Plague Soup in Shuijing Village and exterminated the plague.”
"You killed bandits in Lanchi and saved Your Majesty.”
"Offering paper making techniques to replace bamboo slips to benefit the scholars of the world.”
"Offering refined salt refining techniques to benefit the people of the world.”
"Offering movable type printing to strengthen the spread of culture.”
"Propose a plan to move the despotic order and stabilize the world.”
"The imperial examination system is to recruit all the talents in the world.”
"I offer a plan to use Hu to subdue Hu, relieve the world of corvee, and bless the world.”
……
The eunuch was ordered to read out Xiao Han's achievements. The more he read, the more shocked he became. Every piece of information was earth-shattering!
Even when the eunuch read the order to propose a plan to move the despotic and use the Hu to subdue the Hu, his hands trembled. This was a ruthless person, a ruthless person like a ghost!
"This…"
"Heavens! He was the one who provided the plague formula. Was he a doctor?”
"No way! Lanchi saved the emperor. I heard that he was a chivalrous man with strong martial arts. Isn't he a doctor who treats plagues? Why is he also a sword expert?"
"Paper making technique, heavens! The paper that had become so popular in Great Qin had been invented by him!”
"He was the one who invented the refined salt refining technology.”
"What? Heavens! He was the one who proposed the move, oh my god! He's also a strategist?"
"He was the one who proposed the imperial examination system to select talents for Great Qin. This, this is impossible! How could a person reach the peak of perfection in so many fields?”
……
As the eunuch's trembling voice continued to read, all the civil and military officials present had looks of disdain on their faces at first, but the more they listened, the more shocked they became.
Any of these achievements could be recorded in history books.
And Xiao Han had actually accomplished such an earth-shattering feat without them knowing.
Especially when they were discussing the imperial examination system and how to use Hu to subdue Hu, all the officials present did not say anything.
They felt their minds rumble. Such a person was truly unprecedented.
There didn't seem to be a problem with him being an official censor!
"What else do you have to say?"
Qin Shi Huang sat on the throne and looked down at the officials as he asked coldly.
His might was shocking, like a knife that stabbed into everyone's hearts, making it difficult for them to even breathe.
Xiao Han's talent was unique in the world. He already felt that it was a waste of his talent not to be directly conferred the title of Prime Minister, yet you guys were still unhappy about being conferred the title of Imperial Censor.
"Your Majesty! As you said, this Xiao Han is a capable minister who can stabilize the country and govern the world. The strategies he offers are also unprecedented.”
"However, the policy has just been implemented, the situation has not stabilized, and the political achievements have not increased. It is not appropriate to confer the title of Imperial Censor at this time. In my opinion, I will first confer Xiao Han the title of Imperial Censor.”
Prime Minister Li Si couldn't sit still anymore, but he was indeed a shrewd person. He immediately thought of a plan.
Xiao Han's rise was unstoppable, and His Majesty would definitely put him in an important position.
Since they couldn't stop him, they would drag him down first. Who knew what would happen in the future?
When the time came, they could make some mistakes in the implementation of these policies and suppress Xiao Han's political achievements. It would not be so easy for Xiao Han to be promoted.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll first confer the title of Little Sima Shangdafu. After these national policies are implemented in the future, I'll confer the title. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!”
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
……
Hearing Prime Minister Li Si's words, all the officials present agreed.
"This, this…"
Qin Shi Huang was speechless. Li Si was right. Although the plan was impressive, it had not been fully implemented. It was understandable that he wanted to delay the appointment.
As one of the nine ministers, the little Sima Shangdafu was in charge of military affairs and the transfer of officials. It was not impossible for him to be granted a delayed title.
"Then when does Prime Minister think it's appropriate?”
Xiao Han wasn't stupid. He had already given them the title and even delayed it. What if these guys tampered with the policies? Wouldn't he be stuck in the Little Sima's hands forever?
He thought of a countermeasure and asked with a smile.
