Lao Sheren laughed and said, "Okay! Mr. likes it, my old Qin has nothing else, full of sincerity. ”

Chen Ping smiled heartily and said, "Good food, good wine." Can the old man accompany Ping to have a drink and relieve his fatigue! ”

At first glance, Lao Sheren was shocked. Hurriedly picked up the big bowl on the table and said with a smile: "Okay! Mr. has this Yaxing, should be a bowl. ”

As the two of them picked up the big wine bowl, they raised their heads towards each other and drank them all.

"Dare to ask sir, how am I doing in Longqindi?" The old man smiled slightly.

Chen Ping put down the wine bowl and sighed faintly: "Qin land is like Qin people, Qin people are like Qin wine!" ”

"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together." There was a trace of sadness in Lao Sheren's eyes: "The Great Qin Empire fell apart, leaving only eight counties, which is a shame for the Qin people. ”

"May Mr. enter Qin this time, just like Shangjun will show his ambitions and prosper my Qin!"

With a sigh, Chen Ping said: "Great Qin has the Second Majesty, the national lieutenant, and the pawn was born, and he will be able to stand in Qin Zhong and continue the Qin people's national ancestry!" ”

"Qin wine is spicy and intense, it can be called a unique in the world, just like the awe-inspiring style of Qin people." Chen Ping smiled: "This time Chen Ping entered Qin, he wanted to give him a knighthood!" ”

At this moment, Chen Ping had a strong impulse in his heart. Such a Qin people, such a Qin land, and such a Qin country were deeply shocked by him.

Such a simple and resolute country is worthy of his full strength and support for a while.

Lao Sheren smiled and pointed to the food on the long table, and said, "Mr. came from afar, trekking through mountains and rivers, but it was hard. The fat mutton and vegetables on the case are still warm, please eat them. ”

"Good!"

Chen Ping was also extremely hungry, he gave up his chopsticks, directly tore open a large piece of bone-in fat meat with both hands, and swallowed a hot bite, which not only tasted excellent.

For a while, while swallowing dates, Chen Ping couldn't help but have a great appetite, and he tore for a while, and his forehead was sweating.

"Come, drink!" For a while, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Chen Ping and Lao Sheren drank happily.

Chen Ping followed Lao Sheren to drink again and again, his face was already red and sweaty, but his heart was happy and comfortable, and he said with a smile: "Old man, the order to seek merit, how much is it to enter the Qin Shizi this time?" ”

The reason why Chen Ping left Lao She was to make news about this point.

……

"I heard that there were 120 people in Guanzhong, and 50 or 60 people from outside Guanzhong, about 70 or 80 people. A few days ago, I stayed in this inn for twenty or thirty. ”

Lao She is quite warm-hearted, maybe a few glasses of wine, and Chen Ping is quite in love.

He couldn't help but remind, "The day before yesterday, the emperor ordered Zhao Gao's mansion to be set up as a recruitment hall, and they all moved over and were supported by the court's delicious food and drink!" ”

……

The strong and long Qin wine was accompanied by Kankan night talk, and Chen Ping was deeply drunk on the first night of his arrival in Xianyang.

In a drunken state, he seemed to see the great prosperity of the Great Qin Empire, and the Qin army sent soldiers out of Guguan, just like when the first emperor swept thousands of troops.

It was as if I saw my wife Zhang Xian, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, and Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, and the banks of the Weishui River where the crops grew well, and the unclothed farmers surging everywhere on the land of Qinzhong......

When today's direction is concerned, it seems to be in a daze, and it is closely related to him. When a thought arises, the wind and clouds change, and when a thought falls, the countries are dormant.

……

On this day, Zhang Cang got up very early. After the fight at the fifth watch, he had been practicing his sword in the hazy dawn for a long time.

Having fought in the army for a long time, he has never had the bad habit of sleeping lazy. Although he has become a court lieutenant and one of the nine kings of the Great Qin Empire, he is still diligent and cautious.

He knew in his heart that the Great Qin Empire was in danger at the moment, and there were too many things to deal with. You must have a strong physique, and only in this way can you die for Daqin.

A quarter of an hour later, after Zhang Cang finished freshening up, he sat in the small study and read a simple book, which was the list of the world's scholars sent by his subordinate scribes to Xianyang.

As the person in charge of this matter, Zhang Cang knew that he had to have a rough understanding of everyone's basic faces, in case Hu Hai could ask about it at any time.

The order is related to the far-reaching interests of the Great Qin Empire, whether it is Zhang Cang or Hu Hai, there is an inexplicable expectation. It's just that at this moment, looking at the roster, Zhang Cang couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.

It's been four months since the order was issued. There are only a few scholars in Qin, which makes Zhang Cang's heart feel a little sad.

If the Great Qin Empire is at its peak, why bother seeking the world.

……

Zhang Cang has the experience of being a county guard in Beidi County, and some things are not difficult for him. Because of this, without the intervention of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, he still handled this matter properly.

Zhang Cang looked at the roster of names twice in a row, and looked at the roster of less than 100 people, which gave Zhang Cang the most headache.

With the respect of the emperor, Hu Hai issued a merit-seeking order to the 48 counties of the Central Plains. As a result, less than 100 people entered Qin, which naturally made Zhang Cang's face gloomy.

This is simply a naked slap in the face, not only in the face of Hu Hai, but also in the face of the Great Qin Empire.

Looking at the few people who entered the roster of Qin scholars, Zhang Cang's heart was empty. At the beginning, filial piety sought talent, and the number of scholars reached 100 for the first time.

But now that the Great Qin Empire is so powerful, Hu Hai issued an edict to seek merit with the respect of the emperor, but he did not expect that there were less than 100 scholars in Qin.

The thought flickered in his heart, Zhang Cang got up and left his seat, packed up the brochure, and prepared to wait for Hu Hai at the Zhaoxian Hall.

Today, Emperor Qin II is going to the Zhaoxian Hall to visit the scholars of Qin, and at the same time announce the appointment of the scholars, which is undoubtedly the most important day for the current Great Qin Empire.

With the heaviness of his heart, Zhang Cang and his entourage came to the Zhaoxian Hall, which was the right time.

The scribes of the Zhaoxian Pavilion have already arranged two hundred reed mats in the courtyard, one wooden table for each table. In the center is a long wooden table.

Whether it was the clerk of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, or Zhang Cang, and the more than 100 Qin soldiers who maintained order, they all looked respectful, waiting for the arrival of Qin Shizi and Hu Hai.

"Knock, knock, knock——!"

At the first moment, the head of the Zhaoxian Pavilion rang the ancient bell, and after three rings, the scholars walked out of the hut one after another and took their seats in front of the reed mat.

The scholars were constantly talking and noisy, either talking to each other, or speculating about the Second Emperor, and even what they had seen and heard in various parts of the Great Qin Empire.

It's just that in the courtyard, above the mat, the two lines of people are clearly distinguished. The confrontation between the Guanzhong scholars and the Guanwai scholars was far more severe than the monarchs and ministers of the Great Qin Empire thought.

The scholars are incompatible, and this is the sequelae left by the Great Qin Empire's violent destruction of the Six Kingdoms. Chen Ping expected this, but he didn't expect it to be so obvious.

Seeing that there were less than 100 people in Qin, even if he was as smart as Chen Ping, he was a little blind for a while.
