The next day, when Ziyou woke up, it was already noon, and last night's celebration banquet became everyone poured him alone in the end, even the grandmaster couldn't stand so many people coming together, I don't know when Ziyou was already drunk, the camp was full of soldiers lying horizontally, the captains and generals also fell, Wang Jian and Meng Wu were helped away last night.

Ziyou rubbed his headache and walked out of the camp, as for these drunk soldiers, there will be people watching them, last night's patrol soldiers were not only for vigilance, but also to prevent the soldiers from getting drunk and making trouble, it was a group of warriors who would inevitably do impulsive things with the stimulation of alcohol, and the next day's cleaning up of the camp.

After walking out of the camp, Mo Crow has been waiting here with a carriage, as a qualified groom, Mo Crow knows the truth of drinking and not driving, driving and not drinking, so he didn't drink much last night, and stayed sober until the next day to drive Ziyou back, after all, Mo Crow had a lot of things to do yesterday, send Shao Si to Wang Shi's Mansion, send Chen Ping to Zhaoxian Hall, although Chen Ping is a disciple of Ziyou, but also have to go through the process.

After Ziyou returned to the Wangshi's Mansion, everyone was eating, and after seeing Ziyou come back, the Snow Girl served Ziyou breakfast, and drank a bowl of porridge after a hangover to make Ziyou feel extraordinarily happy.

"It's so uncomfortable, I don't drink with them anymore, hundreds of people take turns pouring you." Ziyou rubbed his head and said.

"It's good if you come back alive." The startling salamander said, and then went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of hangover soup, which was prepared last night, but Ziyou did not come back, and it was hot just now.

Ziyou took the hangover soup, drank two sips and put it down, looked at Shao Siming who was sitting next to Concubine Yan and said

"You all know each other, right? During this time, Xiaoyi lived here, and I wanted to see how Donghuang Taiyi saved people. ”

"He made a move?" Concubine Yan said in surprise.

"Didn't make a move on me, Xuan Jian fought with Donghuang Taiyi when he went to chase the Moon God, and in the end, it was Feng Wuxue and Bai Yifei who arrived with a large army before they scared Donghuang Taiyi away." Zi You took out the bloodstained black cloth from his bosom.

Concubine Yan looked at this piece of black cloth and immediately knew that it was Donghuang Taiyi's, and there was no surprise when she looked at the blood stains on it, if the army couldn't do anything with Donghuang Taiyi, then Donghuang Taiyi would not have acted so cringely and secretly in the morning.

"I received a secret order from His Excellency the Old Eastern Emperor of the Yin and Yang Family, and they hope to join forces with you." Concubine Yan took out a piece of cloth with Yan Guo characters written on it and said.

"The previous generation of Eastern Emperor Taiyi didn't die?" Ziyou asked in surprise, he thought that the previous generation of Donghuang Tai would have died a long time ago, otherwise it would be impossible for the current Donghuang Tai to make the Yin and Yang family like this.

"No, Donghuang Taiyi defeated His Excellency the Eastern Emperor of the previous generation, he mastered the Yin and Yang family, and Donghuang Taiyi was raised by His Excellency the Old Donghuang, so he did not kill His Excellency the Old Donghuang, and His Excellency the Old Donghuang has since disappeared into the Yin Eight Veins, and has been closed in the Jieshi Palace of the Yan Kingdom." Concubine Yan said, this is the secret of the Yin and Yang family, and she only discovered it when she went to Jieshi Palace to break through the grandmaster.

"What does he want to do with me?" Ziyou asked curiously.

"He said that he wanted to protect the Yin and Yang family, but I always felt that there was something in his words, and he also said that if you want to know, you can go to the Jieshi Palace." Concubine Yan said.

"Regardless of him, if you want to cooperate with me, you are still so ink, and it's not that I beg him to cooperate with me." Ziyou said that Jieshi Palace was one of the base camps of the Yin and Yang family, and in Yan Kingdom, he didn't want to run so far.

"Then I won't reply." Concubine Yan shrugged her shoulders and said.

Before Ziyou could continue to say a few more words, he was called away by Zhao Gao, and after coming to Zhangtai Palace, Lu Buwei, Li Si and Han Fei were all here, looking at the expressions of several people, Ziyou knew that something big had happened.

"The King." Sub procession.

"Teacher, please sit down, let's take a look at this piece first." Ying Zheng gave this letter to Ziyou.

Ziyou looked at the content inside and felt serious, this letter was played by the steward of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, which said that there are many Confucian disciples in the Zhaoxian Pavilion now, and there are fewer disciples from other sects, and although there are still many scholars from the Six Kingdoms in Qin over the years, it is not as good as before, although this is just a simple work report, but the crisis contained in it is very great.

Because of this, Confucian disciples will be filled in all aspects of the Qin court, if it is only at the grassroots level, it is easy to say, but now more and more Confucian disciples have come to the middle and high levels by virtue of their political achievements, and if they are allowed to develop, it is likely to become a situation of Yiyantang.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and people and sophistication will let them form a group to warm each other and safeguard their own interests, which is inevitable, in order to prevent a family from being dominant and controlling the court, it is necessary for other people to check and balance, when Qin Zhaoxiang was king, in order to fight against the Chu relatives who mastered the Qin State, he recruited scholars from the six countries into Qin, and let them enter the court to fight against the Chu system, in order to balance the court, but now the Confucian system of the Qin Dynasty is gradually becoming another Chu system.

Today's Confucian Jiuqing, Tingwei, Zhisu Neishi, and Dianke are all Confucian people, Yao Jia was replaced by Li Si Tingwei, he went to serve as a pawn, responsible for the foreign affairs of Qin, and Gongsun Bai is a pedestrian who serves as one of the three subordinate officials of the Dianke, and Ziyou, the head of the Confucian system, is equivalent to the status of the three princes as a king, and can meddle in the affairs of the Qin State, which is equivalent to the prime minister, and now it seems that the power of Confucianism in the court of the Qin State has been said to be the first.

If it weren't for Lü Buwei as the prime minister, relying on the scholars of the Six Kingdoms and the half-crippled Zhao and Chu families to check and balance, the current Qin State is already a Confucian one-word hall, so it is very dangerous to go on like this, if it is really made into a one-word hall, not to mention the decision-making matter, even recruiting talents will become difficult, and the talents in the hundreds of schools will also choose other countries because of their scruples about the power of Confucianism.

Ying Zheng looked at his think tank, three of them are Confucian people, the military is okay, Confucianism is not good at military affairs, they can't interfere, and fortunately, Ziyou has a clear distinction between public and private, and separates himself from Confucianism, otherwise there are not only three people in the current Jiuqing who are Confucian disciples.

"Fortunately, the king saw this letter, otherwise it would have been a big mistake." Ziyou said.

"Maybe it's the blessing of the ancestors, the widow took one when he woke up in the morning to review the fold, it happened to be this, otherwise he wouldn't have found it." Ying Zheng said.

"Qin's continuous expansion to the outside world, the need for a large number of scholars to move in, Qin is still martial, the style of writing is slightly weak, can not support such a scale of employment, can only rely on the six countries to take scholars, this is the long-term disadvantage of the Qin State, and in the six countries of Shandong, scholars and Confucian disciples occupy the majority, this is a pattern that cannot be changed." Lees said.

At the beginning, the scholars of the Six Kingdoms were mainly hundreds of schools and powerful families, of which the hundred schools were the main force and the big families accounted for the majority, the magnates were slightly inferior, and the Confucian disciples in the hundred schools and the big families were the majority, this is an unsolvable proposition, before because of the Confucian prejudice against the Qin State, coupled with the contradictions between the Qin State and Confucianism, so that the Confucian disciples were reluctant to enter the Qin, and later Xunzi praised the policy of the Qin State in some articles, which changed some, the contradictions between the Qin State and Confucianism eased a little, and some Confucian disciples also entered the Qin, Meng Gong and Yao Jia also entered Qin because of this.

In history, Fusu's teacher was selected as Chun Yuyue in order to alleviate the contradiction between Qin and Confucianism, because governing the world requires too many talents and officials, and these talents and officials, whether they are commoners or powerful families, are mostly Confucian disciples, so the first emperor will let Fusu be Confucian, in order to open up this situation, but what he didn't expect was to choose the wrong person, so that Chun Yuyue would only be a loyal minister to Fusu, and forgot how to be an emperor.

This proposition itself is unsolvable, and there is only one way to let scholars other than Confucianism also enter Qin or vigorously cultivate local scholars in Qin.

"There are two ways to solve this problem, the first is to focus on cultivating the old Qin people, no matter what the old Qin people learn, they are loyal to only one of the Qin kings, and it is cultivated by the state, and they can be prescribed to learn the knowledge, and the second is to introduce a hundred schools of thought, set up a great Qin school palace like the original Jixia School Palace, so that the hundred schools of thought can take root in the Qin State, even if there are many Confucian disciples at that time, there are still hundreds of disciples, which can balance Confucianism, so that the situation of Yiyantang can be broken." Han Fei said.

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Lu Buwei said again

"But the scope of such a selection of talents will become smaller, the talent reserve of the Qin State is mainly the Recruitment Hall, and when the Recruitment Hall recruits talents, although it does not look at the background, it will also focus on the big clans and hundreds of schools, so it is too passive to attract talents from all over the world."

In addition to the Six Kingdoms, the Qin State selected officials, mainly three kinds, military merit titles, recommendation and conscription, but the latter three are completely inferior to the Zhaoxian Pavilion in terms of quality and quantity, and the Zhaoxian Pavilion also has its own drawbacks, passive, not attractive enough, and the Zhaoxian Pavilion is set up in Xianyang, although there are also localities, but the local recruiters in the Zhaoxian Pavilion want to come to the Zhaoxian Pavilion in Xianyang, most of them need the recommendation of local officials, so a large number of talents are missed.

And if time goes on, the court will be monopolized, and civilians will have no chance to get ahead.

"But compared to other countries, the Recruitment Hall is already the biggest way to recruit talents, does the middle father have any other way?" Ying Zheng said.

"The minister is stupid, no." Lu Buwei spread his hands and said, he knew the problem, if he could come up with a way, wouldn't he have done it a long time ago?

"Imperial Examination." Ziyou said that if you want to break this situation, you can only rely on the imperial examination, and you can also use Confucianism with confidence, the relative fairness of the imperial examination is that everyone has the same channel, all rely on grades rather than relationships, and different types of talents can be elected through different examination subjects, no matter how many Confucian disciples can not have every type.
