Time flies and several days fly by.

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

Ying Zheng, on the other hand, said nothing and left the court meeting with a dark face.

Two days later, a total of thirteen officials were imprisoned on charges of corruption and bribery. Immediately afterwards, many shadow guards rushed into the mansions of princes and nobles, and indeed confiscated a large amount of money, silk and jewelry from those people's homes.

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

Nowadays, Yingzheng has the supreme power in the world, and his nets and secret guards penetrate every corner. Naturally, many officials are also under their surveillance.

It can be said that Ying Zheng has control over most of the officials. Once someone is disobedient, old scores will be turned over. All the ministers in the dynasty seem to be upright, but how many of them have no problems at all?

On weekdays, you still need these people to help you share government affairs, so as long as you don't go too far, you basically turn a blind eye and pretend you don't see it.

But if those ministers dare to disobey the holy will, there will naturally be no good results and they will be punished directly.

This action is not only a simple anti-corruption, but also a warning to the civil and military officials of the entire court to be more honest and remember who is the boss of this country.

The ministers were not stupid either, and they quickly reacted. In the following days, no one dared to take the lead in opposing the imperial examination.

No one raised any more opinions, and Ying Zheng's ears were much clearer. In this way, under his unparalleled operation of royal power, the imperial examination was officially included in the national policy of the Qin Dynasty.

After some deliberation, it was finally decided to hold the Enke exam every three years, and select three to forty outstanding talents for each exam to be awarded the title of Jinshi.

This time the imperial examination will be officially held within three months, and the palace examination is scheduled for six months later.

After finalizing all the issues, Ying Zheng did not delay and directly issued orders one after another. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty immediately got busy to ensure that the imperial examination in six months' time went smoothly.

Although it seems like there is plenty of time, you must know that Daqin has now become a huge empire, and it will take a lot of effort just to spread the news to all counties.

In addition, we have to build examination rooms in various places, prepare examination questions, and arrange a series of tedious matters...

While everyone was busy with complicated affairs, Ye Zhang was very leisurely in the courtyard, chatting and laughing with Xue Nu and several apprentices.

I saw him sitting in front of several boys and girls, and said: "Today I will tell you a story that happened on another continent."

Hearing this, Ayan, who had grown into a big lolita, blinked her big beautiful eyes and asked with curiosity: "Are there really other worlds besides ours?"

"The universe is infinite, and naturally there is more than what we see."

Ye Zhang replied, and then continued: "Okay, don't change the subject. Do you still want to hear the story?"

"Uh-huh!"

Several people in front of him nodded repeatedly, indicating that they would not interrupt again.

Ye Zhang smiled slightly and continued: "There is a world called Douqi Continent in a far away place. There is a Wutan city in the continent. There is a Xiao family in Wutan city. The son of the head of the Xiao family is called Xiao Huohuo.

His talent for cultivation has been excellent since he was a child, and he looked down upon other boys of the same age, until one day..."

Ye Zhang was very immersed in the story and slowly told the story in his memory. After a moment, he saw a look of indignation on his face and shouted: "Thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to west of Hexi. Don't bully young people into poverty!"

"

As the wonderful story continued to advance, several people sitting around were listening attentively. But at this moment, Ye Zhan took a sip of tea and said: "I know what will happen next, let's listen to the explanation next time!"

The story came to an abrupt end just as it reached its climax, leaving the boys and girls who were listening with gusto still unfinished. The snow girl pulled the former's sleeve and said, "Sir, please go on and tell us what happened next."

"Yes, Master, has Xiao Huohuo ever defeated Stinky's fiancée?"

Ayan also asked coquettishly.

"A good story should be told slowly. What's the point of telling it all at once? Let's continue tomorrow."

Ye Zhang said before getting up and leaving.

But several disciples were pestering him, saying that they could not do anything at this time. Ye Zang felt helpless when he saw this, so he planned to continue talking.

But at this moment, a young man in armor came from outside the courtyard and said politely: "General Zhang Han, please pay homage to the Imperial Master!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhang raised his eyes, looked at the visitor and asked, "It turns out to be General Zhang. I wonder why you are here today?"

The other party is a confidant of Ying Zheng and the commander of the Shadow Secret Guard. There must be something important to come here in person this time.

Upon hearing the question, Zhang Han replied: "His Majesty the Emperor has invited the Imperial Counselor to go to Xianyang to discuss important matters."

Ye Zhang's expression changed slightly when he heard this, he thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I just haven't had much to do recently, so I'll go to Qin for a visit."

"I also need to go!"

Snow Girl and several young apprentices shouted in unison.

"Okay, let's go together."

Ye Zhang did not refuse this request, and the road would be more lively if there were more people...

After a little preparation, the group set off and arrived at Xianyang City a few days later.

In the imperial garden, Ying Zheng personally met with Ye Zhang. The two of them were drinking and chatting about the imperial examination. Ying Zheng said straight to the point: "I invite you to come here this time because I hope you can serve as the chief examiner of the imperial examination."

Ye Zhang's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he said: "Your Majesty has countless capable people around you. Lord Li, Lord Wang, and Lord Feng are all suitable for this job, so there is no need to do anything extra, right?"

Ying Zheng replied: "The first imperial examination is extremely important. The presiding officer needs to have sufficient ability and status, but cannot be too involved with the court. Mr. is the best choice."

At this point, his tone paused slightly, and he looked at the other party and said seriously: "Of course the most important point is that you are very free."

Hearing this explanation, Ye Zhang couldn't help but grinned and said, "Your Majesty is really good at finding errands for others."

He knew very well that this chief examiner was not that easy to be, but since the other party took the initiative to ask, he could not refuse, and if it was done well, it would be of great benefit to himself.

"Since His Majesty said it was for this reason, I can only give it a try."
