Chapter 521 The prototype of the imperial examination

"Your Majesty only needs to inform us of what you need me to do, and we will complete the matters after that!"

After knowing Ying Gao's determination, Xiao He first made a guarantee to Ying Gao. He knew that he probably couldn't avoid this matter and must have to take the lead. He could do it himself, so he might as well take charge of it himself.

Although Lu Jia was also called here by Ying Gao this time, Xiao He could no longer regard Lu Jia as his younger brother without knowing how Ying Gao would use Lu Jia next.

After Xiao He finished speaking, Ying Gao saw that no one had any refutations, so he took out a bamboo slip, which was a roughly targeted matter he had written in a hurry. They had to formulate regulations that could be promulgated and implemented in the court, and it was still very urgent in two days.

But this is how it is to follow Ying Gao to do things. After saying it, it has to be implemented immediately. Moreover, Xiao He had already roughly understood Ying Gao's idea before, but he didn't expect Ying Gao to start implementing this matter so soon.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what the name of this new policy is?"

"This new policy is called the Imperial Examination, which is intended to recommend qualified talents within the scope of our Great Qin Dynasty. When you make this matter, you must make it clear that whether it is the children of the nobles or the children of the Guizhou Head, as long as you can reach the legal eye of the Imperial Examination System of the Great Qin Dynasty, all the officials will have their own positions in the counties and counties of our Great Qin Dynasty or the courts for their experience. Those who can stand out in such experience will move to higher positions. This is a strict official screening system, not like in the Great Qin Dynasty, where all officials rely on recommendations, and no one knows how many real talents and knowledge are."

Ying Gao's explanation, coupled with the things he wrote on the bamboo slips, basically made Xiao He and others understand how they should formulate this new policy.

"Your Majesty is lenient, and you will definitely announce the implementation of this new policy in the court two days later!"

"This matter is done together by Lu Jia assisting the left prime minister. If anyone needs any assistance, just transfer it directly!"

Before leaving, Ying Gao deliberately reminded Lu Jia. After all, Lu Jia still has a lot of insights on anything related to the new word. With him assisting Xiao He next to him, Ying Gao knew that there must be no problem with the new policy.

Ying Gao didn't know whether Xiao He and Lu Jia had slept in the past two days, but on the night before the court the next day, Xiao He and Lu Jia finally arrived in the hall where Ying Gao was with the new policy formulated and completed by the two, and asked Ying Gao to do the final verification.

Ying Gao was definitely not a rigorous emperor in this era. He had almost no requirements for details, and he was also about language. As long as the meaning was expressed clearly, it was already a perfect thing without leaving what he asked for.

"Okay, let's continue to announce it according to this. You can quickly return to the mansion and have a rest. In the court tomorrow, the spearhead will be pointed at you two. If you two can't handle it well, how can I and Brother Fusu help?"

As Xiao He expected, the two of them were the ones who were charging ahead in the front of this matter. They were already prepared for this situation, so they left a copy of the new policy on the imperial examination for Ying Gao, and they went to bed on their own.

Fusu still appeared in the court the next day, this was the second day he appeared. Although he knew that he would probably leave the Western Regions in Xianyang to manage the land and water in the near future, in the eyes of the old Qin nobles, Fusu still received reuse, which shows one problem, that is, Ying Gao still did not forget his roots in his bones, and he was still the son of the old Qin. He was just a little more strict with his subordinates after becoming the emperor. He was essentially very nostalgic.

But what they didn't expect was that after the government affairs of the day was finished, Lu Jia, who returned from the Western Regions to Xianyang City and returned to the Qin Dynasty like Fusu, suddenly stood up and said that he had a new policy, asking Ying Gao if he could tell him if he could see if it fits Ying Gao's appetite.

When many officials heard the word "New Policy", they felt a sudden slap in their hearts, because the previous two new policies basically caused a bloody storm in the court of Xianyang Palace. Moreover, Lu Jia himself was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and these old people in the Qin Dynasty knew about it.

Seeing Lu Jia stand up, Ying Gao waved his hand and said casually: "Since you have some ideas that are beneficial to me, Daqin, you naturally have to say it out."

Of course, Fusu below knew that what Lu Jia said next was the imperial examination that Ying Gao had told him before, but seeing that Ying Gao was actually very skillful in his previous performance, Fusu could only secretly admire him.

In this way, the fingers will not be pointed at Ying Gao at all, but will be pointed at Lu Jia all the time, which will make Fusu's upcoming pressure less.

Sure enough, Lu Jia began to take out a bamboo slip to describe the content of his new policy. As the things he said progressed, many officials in the Qin Dynasty's court looked less beautiful.

Many people didn't dare to speak out openly before he could finish speaking, but they had already started to curse in their hearts.

They didn't know what Lu Jia did to do this. He was not a great scholar from a school. He was already an important official in the Qin Dynasty. So how did the Qin Dynasty select officials next have something to do with you?

In their opinion, this matter is a matter of harming others and not benefiting oneself. Those children from the first Guizhou family have taken the exam and succeeded, the ones they have to squeeze out must be the children of the Qin nobles who were sent to the Qin Dynasty who were almost greeted by saying hello.

Sure enough, when Lu Jia finished his long speech, someone immediately stood up to refute it. Although Lu Jia and Xiao He were already trying hard to point out that they did this to make the Qin Dynasty develop better, some people were still trying their best to find loopholes in it.

"Your Majesty, the levels of those lectures are uneven, so it is difficult for you to meet your requirements!"

"Your Majesty, if the assassin gets in, it's quite dangerous. You should think twice about this matter. It's not a wise move to recruit some officials of unknown origin to enter the court of our Qin Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, Lu Jia has been in the Western Regions for a long time, probably because he doesn't know much about the affairs of my Great Qin territory. Otherwise, how could he tell such a big and ridiculous new policy?"

After hearing these people's words, Lu Jia did not refute at all. Instead, he almost laughed out loud, thinking that you guys who don't know how to live or die, it would be fine if I really thought about this. Isn't this what you called the very enthusiastic person who asked me one by one? Isn't this just a porter?

These people almost all said and said something, and they almost all wanted to eat Lu Jia, but Lu Jia still looked unmoved, because he knew that there would naturally be someone who would stand up to help him. After he finished reading the new policy he discussed with Xiao He yesterday, his task for this day was basically completed, and the rest depends on Ying Gao’s next arrangement.

After basically all those who opposed it were said, Ying Gao still looked leisurely. This time it was Xiao He who stood up. He slowly walked out and said to Ying Gao: "As officials of the Qin Dynasty, we naturally cannot give up because of the choke. It is good to try the new policy proposed by Lu Jia. If we really can recruit some talents for our Qin Dynasty, it will naturally be a very good thing."

After Xiao He finished speaking, the people still shook their heads, obviously they were quite disagreeing with Xiao He's words. Many people were ready to stand up and wanted to compete with Xiao He.

But at this moment, Fusu, who had been watching coldly, suddenly stood up and looked like he had something to say.

When the Qin nobles who had opposed this before saw it, they were so happy. Fusu was invited back from Nanhai County by Ying Gao, which was enough to show how much Ying Gao attached to his brother. Now Fusu stood up and should have helped them, the old Qin nobles. After all, Fusu was a very nostalgic person before. If he stood in the court, he would definitely not let Ying Gao and his confidants go like this. After all, Fusu was someone who dared to refute the decision of the First Emperor in public.

"Your Majesty, Fusu believes that this new policy of Doctor Lu Jia is indeed of great benefit to our Great Qin. And as the nobles of the Qin Dynasty, we should consider the government of our Great Qin. You are very kind and will definitely make us old Qin people have no worries about food and clothing, but we old Qin people cannot oppose all the new policy. Our Great Qin will soon include the people and land of the Mauryan Dynasty into our territory. If the Dukes cannot have a tolerant mentality, they will probably have a good ending!"

These words made the old Qin nobles stunned. They never expected that Fusu would think this way in this matter.

Moreover, Fusu's last sentence is quite obscure, as if it is reminding the nobles of the old Qin that if you resist in such a thing, you will most likely suffer in the end.

They began to wonder why such words were said from Fusu's mouth? In the end, they all thought that this must be something Fusu heard in Xianyang Palace in advance. This was obviously a reminder to himself that if he was obsessed with Lu Jia and Xiao He, then the emperor was standing behind him, and if he didn't do it well, he would definitely destroy himself in minutes.

"Oh? It seems that there are still many different opinions in the court of Daqin. It's okay. Today, I will discuss it here. I can always discuss it out of the ordinary!"

Ying Gao sat high on his chair, as if the quarrels below had nothing to do with him. In the end, he said everything was easy to discuss. After saying that, he specially pointed out the name of the most heartfelt guy he had opposed before and asked him to tell him in detail his opinion.

But after looking at Fusu, the man hesitated for a long time and finally said, "This matter is because I was not thinking carefully before. It is indeed as Dr. Lu Jia said, and it is very beneficial to me, Daqin!"

While saying this, the man had a bitter face, obviously this was not what he said.

But Ying Gao didn't care about this. He then called another person's name and asked the person to tell him why he opposed the new policy. This time the result he got was the same as the previous person, and he changed his words and said that Lu Jia's proposal was quite good.

He asked three or four people in a row, and this time Ying Gao got the results that were basically the same, that is, he fully supported Lu Jia's new policy.

"Okay! Since all the Dukes support Doctor Lu Jia's new policy, I naturally cannot let them waste their wishes. This new policy will be issued immediately among all counties and counties in the Qin Dynasty. According to the time proposed by Lu Jia, the left prime minister, right prime minister and Lu Jia are temporarily responsible for this matter. I will personally give the final candidates to the school. If the children in the Duke's mansion also have talented people, they can participate in this school exam together!"

After the court dispersed on this day, many Qin officials returned to their mansions dejectedly.

On that night, many strange things happened in Xianyang City. The young master who often consumed in some leisure and entertainment venues suddenly disappeared. In the mansions of many Qin officials, there were very miserable shouts and loud scoldings.

"If you can't stand out in this exam, our entire family will be ruined by your hands! Go and study quickly!"

"If you do this again, your position as a nobleman will definitely not be preserved after staying in me for a hundred years. If you cannot rely on your ability to become an official in the Qin court, I will break your legs!"

Such words were staged in the mansions of countless Qin nobles this night. Although these people knew that their children would definitely have a hard time taking this exam, with their understanding of Ying Gao, this matter would definitely be next time. So this year doesn’t work, so wait for the next time, and the people would have to bring their son into the officialdom of the Qin Dynasty in their lifetime.
