Xianyang Palace, the rising sun!
A red sun slowly rose, and its warm light shone on every inch of Great Qin's land.
Qilin Palace!
Qin Shi Huang waved his robe, and the officials kneeling on the ground stood up in unison.
Their hearts were heavy and they were curious.
What national policy did His Majesty get from the immortal messenger?
Was there really an immortal messenger in this world?
Under the expectant gazes of the officials, Qin Shihuang slowly opened his mouth and said in a deep voice,"
"I obtained the method from the immortal messenger. Imperial examinations! "From now on, all of Great Qin's citizens only need to pay the basic labor fees and have the opportunity to participate in the national examination!”
"Anyone with excellent results can enter the court as an official!”
"The first batch of papers will be given to Li Si to set the questions and I will personally review them!”
Qin Shi Huang's voice was like a great bell, echoing throughout the entire Qilin Palace!
As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers in the court were dumbfounded!
The commoners of the world, regardless of their status, all had the opportunity to take the examination and become officials?
Something that had never happened before!
Great Qin's promotion channels had always been in the hands of the influential families and clans!
As nobles, their descendants would always be nobles!
In their eyes, the commoners, their descendants, and thousands of generations of them were all commoners!
How could a lowly person have the qualifications to stand on equal footing with him in the Imperial Court?
The ministers were unwilling!
At the same time, he was deeply worried. How many talented people were there in the world?
If His Majesty were to open up this imperial examination system, in a few years, Great Qin would be able to produce an endless stream of talents!
And these people are grateful for His Majesty's contributions and will only be loyal to one person!
His Majesty, the first emperor in history, Qin Shi Huang!
As for these aristocratic families, the number of descendants they could support and the number of people in the same faction would be greatly reduced!
The strength of the aristocratic families could even be said to have plummeted!
He was unwilling!
Li Si was the first to step forward and kneel on one knee.
Li Si held the board in his hand and said in a deep voice,""Your Majesty, the hereditary system and the recommendation system have been a national policy of Great Qin for hundreds of years. Your humble subject asks Your Majesty to reconsider!"
Li Si's heart was heavy.
With his understanding of the Emperor, he did not have any hope of making Qin Shihuang change his mind.
Feng Qujie also stood up and said firmly,"Your Majesty, the children of the world are poor and lowly. How can they be officials with us?”
"Isn't this making these commoners sit on equal footing with us? This has never happened before in Great Qin! Your humble servant asks Your Majesty to retract your order." Feng Qujie sighed heavily.
Chunyu Yue kneeled on the ground and cried tears of joy."Your Majesty, this imperial examination system is indeed a national policy passed down by the immortals! It can make our Great Qin not have to worry about a lack of talent for thousands of years!”
"Your Majesty, there are tens of thousands of talented scholars in the Great Qin's Hundred Schools of Philosophy! His Majesty has opened up the imperial examination system. The Confucian disciples will sing praises for His Majesty for generations to come!”
"Your Majesty, since ancient times! Immortal!" Chun Yu Yue became excited. His wrinkled face was filled with cold marks!
He was too excited!
The imperial examination system would prosper the world!
In the national examination, the scholars who benefited the most were the scholars of the Confucian school!
The scholars of the Confucian school were all well-read, and their talent far surpassed the scholars of the other schools!
If the imperial examinations flourished, then the Confucians would prosper!
As a scholar, Chunyu Yue wanted to see the Confucians surpass Legalism and become the number one school in Great Qin!
Seeing Chunyu Yue like this, the ministers were filled with hostility towards him!
This had already shaken their already established interests!
However, Qin Shihuang was high and mighty, so they did not dare to target Chunyu Yue in public!
Otherwise, Chunyu Yue would definitely come in standing and leave lying down!
The ministers knelt on the ground and pleaded with Qin Shihuang. This method was not suitable for the situation in Great Qin.
Qin Shihuang's expression was calm, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
Not in line with Great Qin's situation?
It was nothing more than shaking the power of the officials!
"Humph!" Qin Shi Huang snorted coldly, causing the hearts of all the officials below the stage to tremble.
Qin Shi Huang's voice was cold, piercing through the entire Qilin Palace.""I have made up my mind. You can discuss it again.”
In an instant, the hundreds of civil and military officials kneeling on the ground were in complete despair!
Qin Shihuang looked at the officials who had fallen silent and said,""Pass down my decree. The imperial examination system will be widely opened in the world. In half a month, the first examination of Great Qin will be held! Those with outstanding results can become the Great Qin's Law Enforcement Experts!”
Thinking of the title, Qin Shi Huang thought of the name that Zhao Yu gave to these legal practitioners, the legal expert!
Professional law enforcement, professional people doing professional things, people making the best use of it!
The civil and military officials below the stage were extremely unwilling, but at this moment, there was nothing they could do!
The Qin Dynasty's imperial court was Qin Shihuang's one-word court!
Qin Shihuang had the right to dismiss all officials. This was the highest power that the later emperors could not obtain!
Even a capable official like Li Si did not dare to have any thoughts of rebellion when Qin Shihuang was still alive!
Previously, he had an affair with the remnants of the six countries. It was only because he heard that His Majesty was about to die suddenly that he found a way out in advance!
The court session ended.
All the officials walked out of the Qilin Palace with suppressed emotions.
The imperial edict was immediately sent out by the warhorses to all parts of the country!
Several days later.
……
Pei County.
The imperial examination system and legal education were spread to Pei County.
Everyone in Pei County, including Fan Kuai who sold dog meat in the market, knew about it!
Looking at the edict posted on the notice board of the county government, Xiao He fell into deep thought!
Xiao He was a great talent, but he could only be a small county magistrate!
He had repeatedly drowned his sorrows in wine, and his ambition was difficult to fulfill. What he wanted was to rule the world, not a mere county!
"His Majesty has issued an edict to promote the imperial examination system in the world! Perhaps, my chance has come!”Xiao He pondered in his heart.
At this moment, Xiao He felt a pair of hands on his shoulders.
Xiao He turned around and saw that it was his childhood friend, Liu Bang!
"Xiao He, the imperial examination system? Even if you go, you'll still be a small official. Listen to my advice, don't go to the imperial examination system!”Liu Bang put his hand on Xiao He's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Liu Bang, I, Xiao He, wish I could rule the world. Perhaps this is my only chance!”Xiao He said in a low voice.
"Xiao He! You've been well-educated since you were young and talented. I, Liu Bang, have no choice but to admire you when it comes to managing internal affairs!”Liu Bang gave him a thumbs up.
"But Xiao He, have you ever thought about it? The channels of recommendation and promotion have always been in the hands of the aristocratic families. Although His Majesty has decreed the imperial examination system, can you guarantee that you will have the opportunity to fulfill your ambitions after you go?”Liu Bang stared at Xiao He with a smile.
" This... I..." Xiao He was at a loss for words. He didn't know how to answer.
"Brother, wait a little longer. After a while, when the time is right, you can follow me.”Liu Bang said in a deep voice.
"With you?" Xiao He was confused. Liu Bang was just a chief of the Sishui River Pavilion, and his position was even lower than his.
He wanted her to follow him?
This was f * cking bullshit!
However, since Liu Bang was his childhood playmate, Xiao He could only say perfunctorily,"Brother, Xiao He is busy with government affairs.”
