The current imperial examination system, which was more than 1000 years ahead of schedule, is not only a path he opened up for tens of millions of people, but also some feedback to the world.

Of course, he also knew that doing such a thing would definitely arouse the opposition of many nobles, so Ying Zheng had to do it himself.

To be honest, if you change to an individual emperor, you may be cautious about opening the imperial examination. After all, once you do this, it will hinder the interests of many people.

But Yingzheng is different, he has wiped out the six kingdoms in Shandong, who would dare to jump out and shout?

The military power and political power are all concentrated in his hands, and the people below are overwhelmed. If someone dares to provoke trouble, it will definitely not end well.

As for Ye Chen, he is naturally not afraid. Although he does not have as much power as Ying Zheng to facilitate this matter, his own strength is the best guarantee. Whoever dares to stretch out his claws can just chop it off.

Within the Kyushu, as long as he doesn't meet a few people, he can walk sideways.

After hearing these words, Ying Zheng couldn't help but nodded, and he really understood the importance of the imperial examination system in his heart.

He smiled lightly and said: "Sir, this is a very kind word. Once the imperial examination is released, all the people in the world will return to their hearts."

But at this moment, Li Si, who was standing aside and listening silently, was also shocked. He didn't expect Ye Chen to have such a bold idea, and he even said it directly in front of the emperor.

If it is put into practice, I am afraid that the fluctuations caused will not be less than those of Shang Yang's reform.

Then he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, you need to think twice about the imperial examination!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at the other party and said, "Aiqing, what objection do you have?"

Li Si cupped his hands and replied: "Today's officials are basically selected from noble families. If the imperial examination is held, it may cause turmoil in the society!"

Although his words were not completely clear, the meaning was quite obvious.

Once this kind of imperial examination appears, it will break the family's monopoly on official positions, as if they want their lifeblood, and those nobles will definitely make trouble.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Imperial examinations are for the benefit of the country and the people. As a minister, you should obey them. If anyone dares to interfere with it, you can try the sword in my hand to make it better!"

Hearing this, Li Si also saw that the other party was determined to implement the imperial examination system, so he didn't say any more.

Ying Zheng, on the other hand, continued to discuss with Ye Chen with great interest, and expressed some of his own thoughts, and then made a decision on the spot to settle the matter.

At this moment, Ye Chen said: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is quite complicated, and a specific plan needs to be made. In addition, there must be an examiner who is responsible for the order of the entire examination."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded, and then said: "This statement is reasonable, so who should be the chief examiner?"

Li Si's eyes lit up at this time, he knew very well what the significance of this imperial examination was.

In order to win people's hearts, the talents selected this time will definitely be entrusted with important tasks, and the chief examiner holds almost all the rights. In this way, they can take this opportunity to select those who agree with them, and recruit these people under their command to become own wings.

As soon as I thought about this, I immediately said: "My minister is willing to share your majesty's worries and preside over the big exam!"

As the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of handling various important court affairs on weekdays, and he studied under Master Xun, so his talent and resourcefulness were among the top in the world.

Logically speaking, it is the best choice to hand over the imperial examination to oneself.

But upon hearing this, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said: "Li Qing's family is a prime minister, and they are busy with government affairs. I'm afraid they don't have time to deal with these matters. You have a heart of redness, and I appreciate it."

Hearing this, Li Si couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart. The emperor obviously didn't want him to be the chief examiner after saying this.

But, besides yourself, is there a more suitable candidate?

But at this moment, Ying Zheng's eyes were on Ye Chen, and he said, "Since Mr. Ye proposed this matter, it would be more appropriate for you to take charge of it yourself."

Hearing this, Ye Chen said: "I'm just making a suggestion. The imperial examination involves too much, so it's better to leave it to the ministers."

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "The imperial examination is extraordinary and there is no precedent to follow. As the pioneer, sir, naturally knows it best.

What's more, you are still the first disciple of Master Xun, and you have a high prestige among scholars, so you are definitely the best candidate. "

"The imperial examinations are complicated, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch them."

Ye Chen evaded again.

At this time Li Si also said: "Brother's talent and wisdom are indeed rare in this world, but he is not an official of the Great Qin Dynasty. If this matter is entrusted to him, I am afraid it will attract criticism from the court."

Ying Zheng waved his hands when he heard the words, and said, "Who says Mr. Ye is not in our Daqin system?"

While speaking, he looked at Ye Chen again, and said with a light smile, "Now I should call Mr. Guoshi, right?"

"National Division?!"

Li Si was shocked, and he still didn't quite understand what was going on.

"That's right, Mr. Ye is now my Grand Master of Qin."

Ying Zheng said something with a smile.

As the supreme ruler of the empire, he is closely connected with the fate of the country.When Ye Chen used Daqin luck to fight Donghuang Taiyi, he already had a feeling.

And this also means that the other party has taken over the position of the national teacher...

Chapter 414 The Chief Examiner of the Imperial Examination

Hearing this, Li Si couldn't help being startled, and then subconsciously turned his head to look at Ye Chen, casting a questioning look.

Ye Chen smiled helplessly, took out the sacred edict from the ring, and said, "I accept this imperial edict from Your Majesty."

After the words fell, Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, Mr. Ye, I have been waiting for this day for too long!"

As he was speaking, he saw him walk directly down from the throne, stepped forward and grabbed the former's arm, and continued: "With the help of Mr., the Great Qin will surely prosper forever!"

Ye Chen laughed and said: "Your Majesty is too praised, and I can only do my best."

"Just try your best. In this case, Mr. Imperial Examination, no, the national teacher doesn't have to shirk."

Ying Zheng continued, apparently in a good mood.

Seeing that the other party was determined to stare at him, Ye Chen had no choice but to agree, and then continued: "I can make a rough plan for the next imperial examination, but I am not in the officialdom, and many things are inconvenient to deal with. .”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng also understood what he meant, and then he looked at Li Si and said, "You will assist the national teacher, and everything will be arranged by him."

When Li Si came back to his senses, he couldn't help but secretly sighed, and could only respectfully reply: "No."

………………

At the court meeting the next day, Ying Zheng directly announced that he would create an imperial examination system.After hearing the news, more than a dozen ministers immediately knelt down and opposed it desperately.

On the other hand, Ying Zheng didn't say anything, and left the meeting with a cold face.

Two days later, a total of thirteen officials were jailed for corruption and bribery.Immediately after that, they ransacked their homes, and sure enough, they found a lot of money and jewelry from those people's mansions.

These people who were dismissed from office and ransacked their homes were the ministers who opposed the imperial examination at that time, no more and no less.
