Chapter 163 Bringing up the imperial examination again
After Zhao Taibu swallowed the medicine, he immediately looked up to the sky and screamed. His orifices were bleeding and his eyes were protruding and he died. Half a day after his death, malignant sores appeared on his body. He was only discovered in the evening. Zhao Taibu died for a day, but his body was hot.
But Bu Bing, his cheeks were rosy and shiny. Because of this, if he hadn't seen the black blood flowing out of his seven orifices, and his gasping breath, just from his hot body, no one would be able to see it.
It would have occurred to me that he had long since lost his breath, and I'm afraid it was just when he was asleep! It's just that this man's expression was still full of enjoyment when he died. If it weren't for the large amount of blood spurting out from his mouth and nose, it would have added to the ferocious look of his death.
, his family might actually think that he transformed into an immortal in his dream and died!
However, at this time, Zhao Taibu died suddenly and in such a miserable state. The smile on his face became so weird that it made people feel chilly at the sight. Zhao Taibu's family was greatly grieved and naturally frightened.
With a start, they saw the medicine bottles lying around Zhao Taibu. The old man must have taken more than seven or eight pills. They didn't know whether it was because of the elixir or whether Zhao Taibu had taken too many elixirs.
If the deficiency is not replenished, they will die. If this is the case, I am afraid they want to trouble Xu Fu, but they also learned from Wu Ming. These pills were not refined by Xu Fu, but purchased by another mysterious alchemist. At this time
The alchemist has long since disappeared. Nowadays, the sea of people is vast and the sky is huge. Even if you want to find someone to vent your bad breath, where should you look for it?
As a last resort, Zhao Taibu's family had no choice but to swallow the bad breath. The Zhao family held a funeral the next day, because it was Zhao Taibu who was the first to initiate the idea of taking the elixir, and it was he who kept claiming that Ziji was a person destined to be immortal.
"Novel chapters are updated the fastest. Because of this, Zhao Taibu's family is now full of people, and their status is much higher than before. If Zhao Taibu, a man with great wisdom, ate the elixir and died,
If word spreads, the reputation of Zhao Taibu's family will become bad! For this reason, Zhao Taibu's family did not dare to make a big statement. It seems that Ziji suffered this dumb loss and quietly sent Zhao Taibu a message.
After the funeral, he was only known as Zhao Taibu to the outside world. After being summoned by the immortal, he flew into the clouds and traveled to the west.
This statement is very mysterious. However, I don't know if the powerful people at this time had already been dizzy by the 'elixir', but they actually accepted this statement. Not only did they come in and congratulate each other, but they also left in order to make Ziji happy.
One day. Could it be that everyone came to Zhao Taibu's door and offered generous gifts. I just hope that his behavior to please the descendants of Zhao Taibu will attract the attention of the 'destined person' who has long been favored by the immortal.
In my eyes, I have a better impression of Ziji. I strive to have the honor of riding a crane one day. At this time, if the Shime thing in Xianyang City is the most valuable, it is the one that is so magical that it can make people all over the body after eating it.
This is an elixir that can rejuvenate your youth and prolong your life! Almost everyone in the rich and powerful has one pill. In addition, this elixir is consumed quickly and has few sources. The price has always been high, and it has a price but no market. Now I am visiting homes.
Friend, is there anything more decent than this elixir to give as a gift?
After Zhao Taibu's family received all the people who came to pay their respects, they suppressed their sadness and were deeply afraid that people would reveal the truth about Zhao Taibu's death.
They were so happy that everyone just thought that Zhao Taibu was really being taken away by the immortals in the clouds, but behind his back he was crying until his eyes were swollen. In hiding, he managed to finish the funeral and all the guests who came to congratulate him.
After giving a return gift, Zhao Taibu's family held the pile of green elixirs and wanted to cry without tears. At this time, they were afraid that this elixir was not easy to get along with. Otherwise, if they were really elixirs, how could they eat dead people?
, and the state of death was so horrible? On the day Zhao Taibu died, his body seemed warm and his cheeks were red. However, after two days, his shape was as terrifying as a corpse that had been dead for several months. His face was dry, black and thin, and his eyes were still dark.
The eyes that were not closed were almost as if they were protruding out, and it looked so scary!
Although later generations have speculated that there is something wrong with the elixir, they are not sure whether it was the elixir purchased from the alchemist later that was faulty, or whether the thing Xu Fun sold was poisonous. In any case, the name of the elixir is Zhao Taibu Di.
A rumor spread, and now I am afraid that almost everyone among the dignitaries in Xianyang has taken this elixir. If Ziji and others really spread the rumor that the elixir is poisonous, wouldn't they have offended the entire Qin nobles? When I think of this
At this point, the descendants of Zhao Taibu trembled in anger and decided to keep the matter sealed. They were afraid that by revealing the truth, Ziji and others would offend all the nobles and suffer revenge and plots. How could they dare to take the initiative?
Spread the word!
After they realized that this elixir was unreliable, they naturally refused to take it again. However, the power of the drug after taking it became apparent at this time. Although Zhao Taibu's descendants all made up their minds not to touch these damn pills again.
Things, but once it's okay after two or three days, seven days after Zhao Taibu's death, the funeral has just been quietly and simply completed, and then once it exceeds the period of taking the elixir a few days ago, his whole body will feel like
It was like being bitten by insects, and it was so uncomfortable that it felt like there were cat claws scratching inside the body. The feeling was so difficult to describe in words. Not only was the physical discomfort present at this time, Zhao Taibu's family was also horrified.
I realized that once Ziji and others were separated from this elixir, they would all become lethargic and weak, feeling groggy all day long. In the past, even if they didn't close their eyes for two or three days, they would have the energy to control several women at night.
Suddenly disappeared without a trace!
At this time, everyone was panicking. They knew that the elixir was not a good thing, but at this time, Jingshen and Liang suffered such torture without taking it. They were born into nobles, and they had never experienced any pain on weekdays.
, having tasted the feeling of drug addiction at this time, it is not an exaggeration to call it hell. Suddenly Zhao Taibu's descendants panicked. They could endure it for a few more days at most, and then they could no longer bear it, one by one.
Yawning, with runny noses and tears, they knew clearly that the elixir was probably not a good thing, but they couldn't control themselves anymore, so they found out the elixir that had been sent by the dignitaries and put it into their mouths. Only then did they feel so flustered.
The unbearable chaos gradually subsided!
The situation of Zhao Taibu's family fell into the heart of Ying Zheng, who had already ordered the shadow warrior to be buried in his mansion in Zhouwei, and the news of Zhao Taibu's death was revealed. Ying Zheng even knew about it earlier than these descendants of Zhao Taibu!
Li Si heard that Zhao Taibu was hastily buried in the ground after his death. In order not to make people suspicious, the old aristocratic man who was relatively prosperous in his life ended up without even a decent burial and slaves. In the eyes of the ancients, this
Not only is it a very shameful thing, but the act of being buried without slaves is equivalent to showing that Zhao Taibu will have no one around him to serve him in the next life or after death! For an ancient nobleman,
This is a big deal! Li Si was originally thinking about those elixirs of immortality and couldn't believe what Ying Zheng said before. But now after seeing the first person to die, he suddenly started to feel something in his back.
It's cold.
As soon as Zhao Taibu died, one after another of the powerful people in the capital, those who had taken the poison for a long time and were slightly older, led by Zhao Fengchang and others, began to have problems one after another, just because of the overbearing properties of the elixir. For a while and a half,
It's just that there is no serious problem for now. Zhao Fengchang hardly even entered the court at this time. He and Yingzheng were punished and rested at home. He was refining elixirs in the mansion all day long, and he was almost in a trance.
I no longer know what night it is. I have been enjoying myself all day long. I have no time to enjoy myself. I also want to become an immortal. How can I remember what I planned at the beginning? During this period, Ying Zheng carefully weakened the power of the nobles. At first, there was no trace.
He was preparing to implement the imperial examination system that he had always wanted to establish before, but it had been delayed until now because of the lack of talent. Now Yu Liao sent Hongyan to send a letter to Guigu, and after early Yijing received the news, Ying Zheng naturally began to arrange this.
thing.
The general idea had already taken shape in his mind. Before, it was only because of the obstruction of Zhao Fengchang and others that it could not be implemented. Now Zhao Fengchang and others have too much to take care of themselves. I am afraid that if they only have a few days to survive, how can they take care of these 'mundane' interests? Ying
Zheng secretly sneered in his heart. Although the imperial examination system was indeed old-fashioned and backward in later generations when almost everyone was literate, for the ancients, if they were given the modern system at once, it would probably not only be in the hearts of everyone
He would be so panicked that even Yu Liao and others might think that he was crazy. What's more, Ying Zheng wanted to reform the Qin State, but it was not towards the so-called democracy in modern times. His purpose was to reform the Qin State.
The entire Qin State has become stronger, and complete rule is in his hands. What he wants to instill into the minds of his subordinates is the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, not the theory that everyone is equal!
Ying Zheng first summoned Yu Liao and others to the palace to discuss his intention to hold the imperial examination, but Zhao Fengchang and others stopped him. Naturally, there was no chance of failure. The most Ying Zheng could do was to get people to gather and make Yu Liao
Wait for someone to come up with an idea for him to improve the imperial examination system better, and make sure there is no mistake. It is best to make the monarch's power better concentrated and unified, even if he wants to educate all the scholars in the world.
Only those who know how to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic do not teach all the scholars in the world to the point where they only know how to study hard. Those who win the political leadership are those who are both loyal and not waste their talents and those who only know how to study hard!
The bamboo slips held by Yu Liao and others were one of the copies copied by Li Si at the Yingzheng Office. Not only Han Fei and other civil servants each took a copy, but also military generals such as Meng Ao and Wang Jian.
I took a copy and looked at it carefully. I have to say that Li Si is really talented, especially his hand in seal script. He writes neatly and neatly, which makes people very fond of him at a glance. Wei Zhe took the bamboo slips and took a look at them.
Immediately, he was stingy and praised: "The Book of Tongyou has made great progress!" After saying that, he gave Li Si a meaningful look. Although his words were complimentary, Li Si was not happy at all.
On the contrary, his hair stood on end. If Wei Zhe, an old man, usually insulted him, it would be fine. At least let him say a few words, and his head would not hurt and his skin would not be numb. But if he complimented him like this, he might have something wrong with him.
What's more, he is now by Wei Zhe's side all day long, and Ying Zheng, who is in the position of Qing and is above everyone else, looks at him in a different light, and his words such as his rapid rise and prosperity are like babble in a dream, he is really far away from him, and now Ying Zheng is also
See, it was only when he was about to write about Shime that he thought of summoning him to the palace. When Li Si thought of this, he couldn't help feeling a little sad. Han Fei, who was looked down upon by others at the beginning, now holds great power in the Qin State and is deeply respected.
It is a pity that Ziji has always been good at sneaking into the camp and has a flexible mind, but so far he can only work as a handyman beside Wei Zhe. As soon as he got old, Rongyi left the master, and now he has a cheap master to suppress him.
On the head, he is obviously good at civil service, but now Wei Zhe is teaching him some ways of arranging troops all day long. He really doesn't want to be a fierce general and fight on the battlefield!
Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but feel a little depressed. In his opinion, marching and fighting was really humiliating. If he could be like Han Fei and become a minister in the future, making suggestions by Ying Zheng's side, wouldn't it be better than following the soldiers behind him at any time?
Is it better to be worried about one's life? What's more, that boy Meng Tian is pursued by meiyou. He doesn't take advantage of his good family background, but he can't think of fighting the Xiongnu and other Rongdi barbarians. Those barbarians are all very cruel and cruel.
How can he be so easy to deal with? He can't be beaten to death, and he can't see the meritorious service ahead. The more Li Si thought about it, the sadder he felt in his heart. The beautiful prospect he originally imagined, now seems to be just a mirror in the water.
It's mid-month. Especially when Ying Zheng is so strong and kingly, his strategies and talents are not inferior to Li Si's, and there are even immortals to help. Some fantastic ideas have never occurred to Li Si before, but Ying Zheng has them all.
After mentioning them one by one, there is no room for Li Si and others to use them!
It was not that Li Si had ever thought of defecting to another country, but as soon as the idea came up, he was killed by him. Ying Zheng was strong, the king was majestic, and he was also very resourceful. Yu Liao and others around him were all ordinary people.
, Although the old man Wei Che has a bad temper, he does have real talents and learning. Although he doesn't want to admit it, the things Li Si learned from following Wei Che are indeed beneficial to him. Wen has Yu Liao and other pillars, and Wu You
With the Meng clan and Wang Jian and his son, they can be said to be even more powerful, and now there are people from Guigu helping out, coupled with Ying Zheng's wisdom and methods, and Ying Zheng is not an indecisive person, but is so bold and ruthless that Li Si is shocked, almost
Just relying on these points alone, Ying Zheng has the qualifications to dominate the world. Now that all countries are weak, if he stays in the Qin State, he can still occupy the position of an old minister. If he betrays the Qin State at this time,
If the late festival is not guaranteed, no country can compete with the Qin State at this time. If he leaves now, he will be asking for death. What's more, Li Si is really afraid of Ying Zheng and does not dare to be his enemy.
Yes, the more years I have been with Ying Zheng and the more I have seen his methods, the deeper this fear has become in my heart!
Li Si had been thinking about these things for a long time, and he never mentioned them. I'm afraid Wei Zhe also noticed it, which could be seen from the way the old man occasionally deliberately made him unlucky. At this time, Wei Zhe praised Ziji for his good handwriting.
, Li Si couldn't help but feel a trace of depression in his heart. Now he probably only has one hand that is worthy of praise. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad and a little wary. After thinking about it, he said cautiously: "It's rare that Wei Wei
I don't deserve the compliments from the public." He originally thought that Wei Zhe was going to say shime next, but to his surprise, the old man turned away with a smile. After Li Si took precautions, he didn't expect this to be the case, and he immediately became like Ziji.
A heavy punch was thrown, but the opponent blocked it like cotton, and I suddenly felt like pulling my hair out.
"The imperial examination that the king mentioned before seems to me to be worth a try." Yu Liao took advantage of the quarrel between Wei Zhe and Li Si and quickly read through most of the bamboo slips in his hand. Originally, the bamboo slips were on
There were not many documents. He only had to read them once and he already had the general idea in his mind. He thought about it and listed it out, cupping his hands and saying, "I just don't know what the king is going to propose? Or what method the king is going to use."
Are you here to test various talents so that you can select young and talented ones who are in line with your Majesty's wishes and be used by your Majesty?" Yu Liao asked after reading the words in the bamboo slips of Ying Zheng and what he had been thinking about for a long time.
As early as when Ying Zheng first mentioned the imperial examination, although it failed in the end, Yu Liao had actually calculated the feasibility of the matter in his mind and selected talents in this way, instead of just selecting from the rich and powerful.
Finding someone is indeed a way. At this time, most of the wise people in bijing were not born into noble families. If you can find someone with amazing talent and beauty, you will be very lucky. Either by self-recommendation or in other ways, you can win the respect of noble people. From then on, you will be famous.
It is known from all over the world that there are too few cases where princes from all over the world are vying for it, and more often than not, knowledgeable people are not reused and spend their whole lives hiding in the mountains until they grow old. If they are lucky, they may be able to live in peace and prosperity during their lifetime.
There are many people who have the reputation of being hermits, but most of them have failed to become famous even to death. There are many such people. Ying Zheng has given them a difang to display their abilities and ambitions. It can be said that if these people are really taken advantage of by Ying Zheng,
With the gains from the political summons, not only will the reputation of Qin become more famous, but also the reputation of Ying Zhengxian will be more important. I am afraid that knowledgeable people in the world will rush to praise Qin. In this way, if Qin unifies the world, it will be more prepared for success.
, not only reduced many difficulties, but actually added help invisibly. Hundreds or even thousands of years later, Ying Zheng's move will be appreciated by people all over the world, will be famous for generations, and will be praised by future generations!
Yu Liao has already thought about these consequences. Even if he had already seen through the false reputation and power, he could not help but feel excited in the face of such a thing that could be passed down to future generations. If this happened, everyone would be
This is a great contribution to future generations. This is a very beneficial thing for the country and the people. For the common people, if they can read and read, in addition to being drafted into the army, some people with poor health will also have one more way to get ahead.
This is a good thing. For Ying Zheng, if he can take advantage of this favorable trend that is praised by people all over the world, he might be able to conquer Chu, Yan and other countries in just a matter of moments. Once the people's support returns, he can conquer the enemy country.
The result may be more thorough than the sword!
Yu Liao knew in his mind that there would be no harm in opening the imperial examination, but he was also a little confused and even embarrassed. Ying Zheng's method was good, but it was a little troublesome for Yidian at this time.
Various schools in the world interacted with each other, and many scholars also studied under different masters. Some believed in the teachings of Confucius, some believed in the lineage of Meng Ke, and some studied under the Guigu sect of Yu Liao.
, is also famous for the way of vertical and horizontal manipulation. At that time, his junior brother Su Qin and others were good at this way and were known to the world as the best in this way. In addition, in today's world, there are Xun Qing and others.
Everyone, it is a situation where various schools are contending. If under such circumstances, Yingzheng wants to uniformly select talents, I am afraid it is not a long-lasting matter. If Bijing wants to be an examiner, he must be proficient in the strengths of each school, otherwise
If the examiner is biased, he will already be biased. How can he be truly impartial?
In Yu Liao's view, if the scholars in the world are rigidly molded into the mold that Ying Zheng has in mind, then everyone's unique abilities will be lost, and the opportunity to obtain real talents will be lost! Bijing generally has
Scholars are arrogant in their hearts. Generally, people who are talented in their hearts, even if they know a lot about other sects' knowledge, if they are asked to change to learn the ways of other sects, I am afraid they will disdain it. Ying Zheng
If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that even if the imperial examination is a great thing, it will eventually become a two-way sword and hurt him. Not only will it not be able to bring benefits to Qin, I am afraid that
It will also cause a lot of trouble!
When Ying Zheng heard what Yu Liao said, he was stunned for a moment, and his face gradually became serious. He had only thought that the imperial examination was a major change that was only used by later generations, which was a good thing, but he had forgotten that now
It was during the Warring States Period, and it was not the stable country that gradually formed after the unification of the world. At this time, the countries had not been completely destroyed by the Qin State. Similarly, the Mohist and Xun families were not completely extinct, and the Confucius and Mencius were not completely extinct.
It is not like the Confucianism that was praised by the world in later generations. At this time, people in the Qin State were disdainful and denounced it. Naturally, what people learned at this time was not the way of Confucius and Mencius!
At the beginning, Ying Zheng was afraid that the people who came to take the exam would be imprisoned by the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, which would lead to him recruiting pedantic talents. However, he thought a lot about it, but he forgot the most important thing! At this time, a hundred schools of thought were still contending.
In the last days of the 19th century, although the fights between various schools many years ago were not as fierce as before, nowadays Legalists, Taoists, and Confucians also have their own talents. Take the Confucianists Confucius, Mencius, Xun and others as examples, and the Mohists
It has not yet been exterminated. Huang Yuchun and others, who claim to be chivalrous and righteous, are still working against Ying Zheng. Among Legalists, Han Fei is still working under Ying Zheng, and a court official
They all accept different talents. If once the imperial examination is held and everyone is forced to give up what they have learned and follow Ziji's wishes, not only will Rongyi make people's ambitions fall by the wayside, but it will also easily make people feel bad about Ziji. The consequences will be that even Yu
Not to mention, Ying Zheng can also figure it out! (To be continued.)
