"However, it's already a great achievement for Imperial Father to be able to unify the Central Plains.”
Ying Zimo's compliment was sincere.
The reason why the territory of the Central Plains had never expanded was not only because of the fierce internal strife during the Spring Flag Warring States Period, but also because of the nomadic tribes.
To the north were the Xiongnu, Yiqu, and Hu tribes.
Compared to the Central Plains, which was not suitable for farming, sending troops to chase away the foreign tribes was also a thankless task.
There was no need to talk about the east, where there was an endless sea.
This was also the reason why Ying Zheng had sent troops to Baiyue, because if he wanted to expand his territory, Baiyue was the best solution.
"Ridiculous. The Central Plains is the center of the world.”
"Little Lord, you can't verify this, right? If even the Central Plains was so small, then who measured this vast and boundless world?”
"Yeah, no one has even measured the topographic map of the Central Plains. Could it be that someone can travel all over the world?”
........
Ying Zimo's words were getting more and more ridiculous.
The scholars below the stage felt that their worldview had been shattered.
Ying Zimo felt that it was normal for everyone to be shocked.
"If Brother Zheng was here, he would probably be shocked as well, right?”
Thinking of this, Ying Zimo couldn't help but find it funny.
At that time, he would have to make a world map for Brother Zheng according to this globe.
If Great Qin could conquer the world, the country's fate would reach its peak!
"Do I look like a child who likes to lie? Stop arguing. I'm a teacher, you guys are teachers.”
"If any of you know what it's like outside the Central Plains, you can refute me. Come, who knows?”
He looked at Ying Zimo's puffed cheeks.
Instantly, all the people who were not convinced were speechless.
Who knew what the outside world was like? If he knew, would he still be sitting here?
"Little Lord, have some hot soup."
"Yes, that's right. Everyone should learn more from Student Han.”
Ying Zimo moistened his throat and coughed twice as if he was serious.
Then, he tapped the small pointer and said,
"Look, this is the northern frontier where Great Qin is about to send troops.”
"After conquering the Xiongnu, the passage to the countries of the Western Regions was opened.”
"Like West Night and Wusun, they are very rich countries, rich in gold and gems."
"As long as we destroy the Xiongnu, there will be no more obstacles to go to these countries.”
"There is also India in the southwest, which can also be called the Peacock Dynasty."
.......
Ying Zimo's small mouth was blabbering.
He didn't know.
When these words fell into the ears of Brother Zheng, who was sitting in the corner, it was deafening.
The world was so big?
There were so many countries as vast as stars?
Ying Zheng had also felt that the Central Plains was already the center of the world, and after sweeping across the Six Directions, he had already completed his conquest of the world.
He never expected that this was just the beginning.
"Dunruo, go and get a map of the Central Plains and compare it with the one on this globe.”
He lowered his voice.
But how could Dun Ruo not hear the stirring in his voice?
The map of the Central Plains was the foundation for Great Qin to unify the world.
In the past, when conquering the world, giving up a map was equivalent to ceding a city. The significance of a topographic map was very important.
Therefore, only one copy was kept in the national treasury.
Ying Zimo jumped down from the bench after finishing his lesson.
"Alright, that's all for the first lesson.”
"The reason why I'm giving everyone a geography lesson is that I hope that everyone won't keep staring at the small piece of land in front of us. Instead, they should look at the world and study with the goal of becoming a powerful country.”
"I hope that after this lesson, everyone here will no longer be a frog in a well.”
Ying Zheng was speechless.
Then I will leave?
So what if I'm giving a lecture? How did I become a frog that looks at the sky from the bottom of a well?
Moreover, Brother Zheng couldn't deliver the goods. He asked for it.
Who asked him to hide among the scholars?
The most infuriating thing was that this little bastard was right!
"Cough cough."
Wang Jian also revealed an awkward expression.
What should he do? He couldn't refute a child who said that he had no knowledge.
At this moment, Ying Zimo's voice was heard again,"
"Alright, the lesson is over.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards began to place the test papers into the hands of the scholar sitting at the front.
As there were too many scholars participating, they were allowed to pass the information down.
Every paper carried the fragrance of ink.
The distinguished guests finally heaved a sigh of relief. Their faces revealed some relief, and there was even a trace of disdain.
What was the use of saying so much?
Now that there was an exam, wouldn't the results be revealed immediately?
They had long received news that this question was based on the ancient books of the aristocratic families.
Recently, the guests had read those books no less than ten times to ensure that nothing was wrong.
However, just as he received the test paper.
Their expressions suddenly changed.
She raised her head and saw Ying Zimo tapping his little hand with the pointer with a playful look on his face.
"What are you all looking at? The questions on this roll of paper are all what I just said.”
"I've already reminded you to listen to the class seriously. The Imperial Academy only accepts scholars, not a bunch of old masters.”
"Hmph, playing favoritism is very dangerous. Don't get caught. If you do, you'll have a good time.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards on both sides pressed their hands on the Embroidered Spring Sabers.
The eagle-like gaze made all the scholars feel as if there was a knife on their backs, and they instantly broke out in cold sweat.
Good heavens, there were hundreds of fierce Jinyiwei invigilators.
Who dared to cheat?
The hanger-ons sent by the dignitaries were all as if they had lost their parents, and their brains were completely useless.
As for the poor scholars who listened carefully, they were writing furiously, forming a sharp contrast.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Little Nineteen, oh Little Nineteen, why do you have so many ideas?”
"The previous batch of test papers printed was just a cover to make the guests of the dignitaries mistakenly think that admission was a certainty.”
"In fact, the questions are all the things that were taught in the geography class just now!”
Ying Zheng scolded with a smile.
It had to be said that this method was really wonderful.
Taking the exam right after the lecture meant that those who did not listen to the lecture seriously just now should not think about entering the school.
Would those distinguished guests listen to the lecture seriously?
In the end, only those who were serious and motivated among the poor scholars would be accepted, and they had to be like Ying Zheng, who had truly thought about it.
Those who thought highly of themselves were all eliminated.
........
Time passed slowly.
Peace was finally restored in front of the Hanlin Academy.
The students dispersed and went home to wait for the news.
All the test papers were collected and marked together.
"Little Lord, you changed Miss Lu's method. It's really not bad.”
Zhang Liang looked at the test paper and said emotionally.
Not only did they eliminate the spies from the aristocratic families, but they also screened the other scholars.
"In this case, only the group of noble children who followed Young Master Huhai into the prison can enter the school. It's much easier to manage.”
Zhang Liang also heaved a sigh of relief.
If the Academy was filled with poor scholars, the difficulty of running a school would be greatly reduced.
As the dean, he could also relax a little.
"Huhai, hmph, hmph. If it wasn't for Imperial Father, I wouldn't want to accept such a person.”
"Hmph hmph, Imperial Father said that he would come today to announce that I would continue to govern the country. He actually went back on his word.”
Ying Zimo rolled his eyes cutely.
"I'm afraid Minister Feng won't let this matter rest."
Zhang Liang said as he marked the papers.
Suddenly, his hands stopped and his eyes widened.
"Wait, Little Lord, this test paper…"
"What's wrong?"
Ying Zimo didn't know what was going on, so he tilted his head and looked over.
The handwriting on the test paper was like iron and silver, as if it had been carved by a knife and axe.
What a domineering handwriting
He suddenly felt that the handwriting was somewhat familiar.
"Why is His Majesty the one who signed this paper?”
"Imperial Father's test paper?"
Ying Zimo tilted his butt and almost fell off his chair.
Then, she rubbed her big eyes.
The two words 'Ying Zheng' were extremely dazzling.
"Imperial Father is here today? You even took the exam?"
Ying Zimo was dumbstruck.
Looking at the test paper, he only came back to his senses after a long time.
"Imperial Father seems to have done well in the examination. You listened very seriously today."
Then, he saw the final comments.
Hmph, Little Nineteen, you must have complained that I went back on my word, right?
When the time comes, I will announce the matter of letting you oversee the country to the ministers.
Those who passed the exam, draw up a name list and send it to Zhangtai Palace!
Xiao He smiled bitterly.
He also found Dun Ruo and Wang Jian's test papers.
Why didn't he realize that His Majesty was so good at playing? He actually came to participate in the exam in disguise?
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xiao, Father seems to have scored full marks. He should be first! Brother Zheng, you've done well!"
Xiao He was speechless.
Zhang Liang was speechless.
Why did it sound like he was looking forward to his father becoming a dragon?
Only a father would praise his son for being successful. How could it be the other way around?
"Emperor Shi Huang got first place? What should we do?"
"How should we release the results? Do you want to add His Majesty's name?"
