"Seeing one's nature clearly?"

"Sixth brother, don't fool your brother!"

"These two questions, one is yours and the other is mine!"

"How come I didn't know these two questions would be so useful!"

Fusu was really anxious at this moment.

He attaches great importance to this Heroes Conference.

It's not just because this event was organized by his Juxiantang, but more importantly, this event hit right at his heart.

In his opinion, this was the real effect of the Juxian Hall that he had long expected.

Not to mention that he has been busying around for this matter in recent months, working from dawn to dusk. This is all his hard work.

As a result, seeing that it had already begun and his own sixth brother was about to play tricks again, it would be strange if he was not worried.

Ying Yuan did not act rashly this time. Instead, he pulled Fusu to a seat nearby and sat down. Then he picked up a spare test paper and pointed to the last two questions.

"Brother, you see, when I first asked this question, I was really joking!"

"And you, brother, are also a joke!"

"As you said, this is just a joke between us two brothers!"

"But, after everyone knows who came up with these two questions, things get interesting!"

“And this is what I call seeing one’s true nature!”

Ying Yuan gestured to Fusu to look at the two questions in front of him.

"This ninth question is clearly meant to flatter me, and the tenth question is both a satire on me and a secret flattery of you!"

"Then the question is, if you, the examiner, have stated that these two questions are not included in the examination scope, what will the candidates do?"

"Or, brother, if you were a test-taker, would you not answer these two questions?"

Fusu was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought about what it would be like if he stood in the candidate's shoes.

So he pondered for a moment, looked carefully at the test paper in front of him, and then said frankly.

"If I were a test-taker, I would answer both questions, and I would answer them seriously!"

"Because in my opinion, since it appears on the examination paper, if I don't answer it, wouldn't it make me look incompetent?"

"What's more, although your question was a little exaggerated, if you think about it carefully, you will find that you are very good!"

"Then what's wrong with praising you?"

"As for the tenth question I asked, it is to seriously discuss your shortcomings and criticize the current situation!"

"Yeah, that's right, if it were me, I would answer like this!"

Fusu spoke very frankly, and really thought seriously about how to answer the questions from the perspective of a candidate.

Listening to Fusu's speech and looking at the sincere face in front of him, Ying Yuan smiled happily and warmly.

My brother is truly a good person!

Good people like this should live a long life and then... do more work for us!

Hey!

After laughing inwardly a few times, Ying Yuan pointed at the test paper and said.

"Since you have answered my question once, it means you have a lot of knowledge about it. Then you will understand my explanation better!"

"In my opinion, those who answer nine out of ten are simply flatterers and seek to curry favor with the powerful."

"This kind of person, huh, is the one praising me, Ying Yuan?"

"No, they are only praising the Prince Regent!"

"These people are capable and even have an easier time in official circles than others!"

"As long as the Great Qin is prosperous and the lord is wise and powerful, these people will work diligently."

“But when faced with internal and external troubles, these people will be the first to waver!”

"Brother, do you think my judgment is reasonable?"

Fusu listened carefully to Ying Yuan's explanation, then pondered it carefully, and nodded in sudden enlightenment. "You know what, it does make sense when you put it that way!"

"This question is purely for flattery!"

"If I only answer this one question, then I'm just trying to please him. I'm targeting you!"

"Well, your analysis is correct. He must be a flatterer!"

"We'll make arrangements based on our abilities when the time comes!"

Ying Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had received Fusu's approval.

He didn't want to argue with Fusu over such things.

He still expected his brother to continue working as a laborer.

"Okay, then let's look at it the other way around. What if we only answer ten and not nine?"

"Haha, this kind of person has character and temperament. Logically speaking, he should be my brother's favorite, right?"

When Fusu heard this, he nodded a little embarrassedly.

There is nothing wrong with admitting this. Everyone knows his temper.

But he knew that Ying Yuan would have to give an explanation.

Look, Ying Yuan commented immediately.

"They knew that I, Ying Yuan, was the Prince Regent and held great power, and was also responsible for reviewing this exam, but they still wanted to do this."

"On the one hand, these people are indeed dignified, but on the other hand, aren't they simply unable to understand the general situation of the court, nor do they understand the infighting in the officialdom?"

"If such people were to come to the imperial court, they would be beaten to death!"

"But if they are capable enough and are transferred to the local areas, then based on their character and mentality, it would be a great opportunity for them to face those dignitaries and local gentry!"

"Because by then they will have the support of the Qin Empire!"

"Are you afraid?"

When Fusu heard this, he stared at Ying Yuan, who was full of high spirits, and could not calm down for a long time.

And Ying Yuan said it all in one breath.

“As for those who didn’t answer either question, haha!”

"What's the use of such a sneaky and cunning person?"

"For our Great Qin, we need to be enterprising. Idiots like you who don't even have the courage to show your abilities, get out of here right now. It makes me angry!"

“But if you answer both questions, that would be interesting!”

"Only those who have the will, the means, the character, and the grasp of the general situation in the court can participate in the final assessment."

"Only people like this are qualified to take the title of top scholar!"

When Ying Yuan finished this long speech, Fusu was completely stunned.

Especially after he carefully thought about what Ying Yuan had just said, he felt it made more and more sense.

If we look at it from this perspective, these two questions are definitely the final questions that are carefully arranged to help you gain enlightenment.

But in fact, Fusu himself knew it clearly.

This is just a joke between the two brothers.

But what happened was that this joke in his own eyes fell into the hands of his sixth brother and was exploited to the extreme.

what is this?
This is the first-class imperial mentality!

Isn't it true that the most difficult thing for kings to grasp throughout history is the character of their subjects?

But my sixth brother just helped out and used two questions to see through a large group of people.

How stunning is this?
At this moment, Fusu suddenly thought of what Xiao He had said to him.

Looking at his sixth brother who was smiling in front of him, Fusu suddenly smiled with relief.

If it's my sixth brother, then I'll be his assistant for the rest of my life, so what? (End of this chapter)
