Chapter 106: Jingni and Yanfei are pregnant

provocative?

Rebellion?

In front of Ying Ziye, death is the only ending!

He had already pacified the six kingdoms, so how could he be afraid of the aristocratic families of Qin?

This is also the reason why he chose to implement reforms when the Qin Dynasty was unified - in troubled times, an iron-fisted approach is needed!

If you don't obey, you will be killed! This is Ying Ziye's iron-blooded rule.

The empire was just founded and its foundation is still shallow. Various structures are like new branches and have not yet solidified. Now is a good time for reform!
All the ministers gathered in Zhangtai Hall.

Ying Ziye stood in the court and spoke frankly to Ying Zheng about the imperial examination: "Your Majesty, I have recently discovered that there are many malpractices in the bureaucratic system of our Qin Dynasty."

"Most officials are recommended by court officials or inherited from aristocratic families. The network of relationships is complicated. If this continues for a long time, it will inevitably damage the foundation of the empire and the imperial power will be easily constrained."

"So I think that change is imperative."

Ying Ziye stepped forward and paved the way for the proposal of the imperial examination system.

When these words were spoken, all the officials present were shocked and secretly uneasy, feeling both shocked and frightened.

Civil and military officials were confused as to what Ying Ziye meant. Was he merely seeking reforms in the way officials were selected, or was he trying to expose collusion in the court?

The former is still acceptable, but the latter may involve countless people.

Who can guarantee that he will be spotless and untainted by dust in the court?

"My son, you are right!" Ying Zheng looked serious, obviously realizing the urgency of the problem.

However, he did not show too much worry because he knew his son very well that since he had raised the issue, he must have a solution.

"Your Majesty, I have come up with an imperial examination system to solve this dilemma."

"The imperial examination is used to select officials, divided into civil and military officials!"

"The subjects for the civil service examinations include law, mathematics, classics, current affairs policy, outstanding scholars, and Jinshi."

"The military examination tests riding and archery, martial arts, and military tactics, etc."

"In this way, the empire will be able to select the most outstanding talents and make the Qin Empire even more powerful!"

Ying Ziye elaborated on the general outline of the imperial examination system in one go.

In the feudal imperial era, this was undoubtedly the most fair and just method of selecting officials.

In the court, some civil and military officials gasped and turned pale when they heard this.

There is no doubt that this system has far-reaching significance for the Qin Empire and the people of the world. It can be regarded as a blessing for scholars and hope for children from poor families!

However.
For those officials who come from aristocratic families, this is a nightmare; their foundations will be uprooted!
From now on, nobility can no longer protect them.

If you want to be an official, you must rely on your real talents and knowledge to pass the imperial examination!
These noble officials were unwilling to accept this and wanted to loudly refute it!

However.
They are afraid! .
At such a critical moment, standing up and opposing, wouldn't it be a clear signal to Ying Zheng that he was plotting to monopolize the official position in the Qin Dynasty?
Isn't this like lighting a lantern in a cesspool, seeking one's own death?
Officials from aristocratic families scoffed at the imperial examination system.

However, people from poor backgrounds such as Li Si, Dun Ruo and Yao Jia warmly welcomed this.

They are well aware of the obstacles that children from poor families need to overcome in order to make a name for themselves.

Nowadays, with the imperial examination system, no matter where you come from, as long as you have talent, you will be valued!

This is truly the work of a saint!
Even Chunyu Yue, who usually confronted Ying Ziye, stood on Ying Ziye's side for the first time and supported his proposal for the imperial examination.

He even felt that this system seemed to be tailor-made for Confucian officials.

If he had not supported Fusu for many years, he would probably have joined Ying Ziye's army by now.

"Your Majesty, the actions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are comparable to those of a saint!"

"Promote the imperial examination system, and all the heroes in the world will be under your majesty's wing!"

Chun Yuyue spoke loudly, hoping that Ying Zheng would implement it immediately.

His actions attracted the attention of the ministers. Some of them shook their heads secretly, thinking that this old man was really shameless and disregarding his dignity!
In the past, people always said that the prince was a murderer, tyrannical, and condemned by God. But now, the prince has been directly placed on the throne of a saint!

There is really no bottom line!
"Your Majesty, what Lord Chunyu said is absolutely right. The actions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are indeed comparable to those of a saint!"

"This will be good news for scholars all over the world and hope for those poor students who are eager to serve the country!" "I fully support the imperial examination system!"

Although Li Si despised Chunyu Yue's character, he agreed with his words, stepped out to echo him and made his position clear.

"I second the motion!"

“The imperial examination system should be implemented immediately!”

"I second the motion!"

"I second the motion!"

Those officials who came from humble backgrounds and went through great hardships to reach their current positions stood up and firmly supported the imperial examination system.

"good!"

“My son’s intelligence continues to amaze me!”

"This imperial examination system is undoubtedly the best way for the court to select officials, and it can effectively recruit talents from all walks of life!"

“Excellent! Excellent!”

Ying Zheng laughed heartily and praised Ying Ziye highly.

Sure enough, this son never let him down and gave him a huge surprise!

When Feng Quji, Sima Jin and other officials from aristocratic families saw this scene, their faces turned ugly, as if they had swallowed a fly.

They could not refute and could only endure it silently.

At this moment, two distinct poles formed in the court, one side was ecstatic, and the other side was gloomy!
However, the attitudes of these ministers could not shake Ying Ziye. The only one who could truly influence him was Ying Zheng.

The imperial examination system only benefits the rule of the Qin Empire, not harms it. How could Qin Shihuang not support it?!

Soon, the court meeting ended.
Ying Ziye, Feng Quji, Li Si and other important court officials such as the six ministers were kept by Ying Zheng to discuss in depth the details of the imperial examination system.

After everyone brainstormed.

It was decided to establish an imperial examination every three years to stimulate fresh vitality in the bureaucratic system of the Qin Empire.

The imperial examination process is divided into provincial examinations, county examinations, and prefectural examinations, and the final climax is the palace examination!

After the details are finalized.

Ying Zheng immediately announced to the world that the first imperial examination of the Qin Empire would be held three years later.

When the imperial edict was released, it was like thunder, shocking the world!

Scholars from all over the country were delighted, dancing with joy, and running around to tell each other this exciting news!

For the literati and poets of the world, especially those from poor families, the imperial examination was undoubtedly the fastest way to climb up the ladder of power and wealth.

Countless people kowtowed devoutly to the imperial edict, expressing their gratitude to Ying Zheng and Ying Ziye!
The sun and the moon alternate, and time passes quickly.

Under the promotion of Ying Ziye, a series of reforms were like a spring breeze, giving the Qin Empire a new look and flourishing development.

Countless students studied hard day and night, hoping to make a splash and achieve a breakthrough in the imperial examination three years later.

The country is gradually becoming stable.

Ying Ziye plans to go into seclusion to integrate the last 1% of power in the character template, condense the Purple Palace, achieve Nascent Soul, and pursue the path to immortality!

However, just as he was preparing to go into seclusion, a piece of news made him put his plan on hold.

Jingni and Yanfei brought good news one after another, they were both pregnant.

Upon learning this, Ying Ziye no longer had time to confine himself to seclusion, and only looked forward to the birth of his child.

It takes time to realize the truth and go into seclusion, and Ying Ziye didn't want his child to be born without seeing his father.

In the Qilin Palace,

He instructed the servants to take good care of Yan Fei and Jing Ni. Looking at their slightly bulging bellies, Ying Ziye's face showed a hint of emotion.

It has been nearly twenty years since I traveled to the Matrix of this era!
Now, he will also have his own bloodline inheritance!
