Chapter 127: I can't hide it
Hearing Gu Siyuan's shout, Ran Fang did not answer his words, but was thinking about his own questions.
He only told the matter of the imperial examination system yesterday afternoon, and only Fusu and Yingzheng heard it at that time, and he also specifically instructed Yingzheng not to talk about it.
Fusu has been in prison with him, and he has no chance to contact people outside, so this problem lies with Yingzheng.
A businessman was able to meet Ying Zheng in such a short period of time, and he also told Ying Zheng about such an important matter as the imperial examination system, so that he issued a decree the next day.
This is a bit unbelievable!
Thinking of the things that Ying Zheng encountered every time he came, as well as his whole demeanor and casual words, it seemed to explain his identity.
There were so many clues in front of him, but he didn't believe in himself very much, so he ignored them.
With Gu Siyuan's words, as well as Fusu's empty eyes, the things that he had doubts about before seemed to have answers at this moment.
He looked at Gu Siyuan and asked, "Do you want to enter the court as an official?" ”
Frightened by Ran Fang's eyes just now, Gu Siyuan could only sit there and wait for Ran Fang's thoughts.
Now seeing that Ran Fang's expression had returned to normal and asked him this question, he immediately nodded excitedly.
"Yes."
"Don't you want to, sir?"
Saying that, without waiting for Ran Fang's answer, he said to himself again: "It's a pity that Shang Jia couldn't be an official before, and now since Your Majesty is willing to accept Qianshou, then I can naturally do it." ”
"If he can enter the court as an official one day, I will definitely learn from Xianyang Ling's honesty and talent, and I will never be in the same league with those people!"
Seeing him so passionate, Ran Fang didn't expect it.
I didn't expect Lian Liangcai to have supporters, if he could hear it, I am afraid he would also feel relieved.
"Good, good."
"If you have this heart and that ability, then you can naturally enter the court as an official."
Gu Siyuan raised his neck proudly, as if he was encouraged by Ran Fang, and looked very confident in himself.
Seeing him like this, Ran Fang didn't have the slightest ridicule, but just asked casually: "This imperial examination will definitely cause a lot of fluctuations." ”
"There must be a lot of people who enter Xianyang to participate in the imperial examination."
"When there are so many people, the person who reads the answer will have to work hard, after all, there are so many bamboo slips, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort to read them."
Hearing Ran Fang say this, Fusu's originally relaxed expression immediately became nervous.
As soon as he was about to open his mouth to explain, he heard that Gu Siyuan had already spoken, and he still had that unstoppable expression.
"Sir, rest assured, this matter has been resolved."
"A few months ago, the imperial court got a sacred object, called paper, which is as light as a cicada's wings, and can be written and painted on it, and it will not be smudged and easy to store."
"Although it is not sold in Xianyang City now, the officials in the imperial court can receive a few copies per month, and the imperial examination will also use this item at that time, and there will be no problem that Mr. is worried about."
After speaking, he didn't even look at Fusu's eyes, looked at Ran Fang in surprise, and said loudly: "I heard that this thing was also made by Mr., has Mr. forgotten?" ”
From the time he heard the "paper", those conjectures in Ran Fang's heart were confirmed, and there was no expression on his face.
Although he had guessed that the identities of Yingzheng and Fusu were not ordinary, he didn't expect their identities to be so noble.
However, since Fusu is still reluctant to say it, and Gu Siyuan is here, he doesn't plan to say it.
He nodded perfunctorily at Gu Siyuan and said casually, "I forgot." ”
"In this way, you can go back to the house and start preparing, and you will definitely come out on top in the imperial examination at that time!"
"That's nature!" Gu Siyuan patted his chest, as if he had seen his success.
"I am much more relieved to have my husband's support."
"In that case, then I'll go back first, and let someone bring some delicious food to Mr. in a few days."
After saying that, he slipped away again, as in the same hurry as when he came.
After waiting for him immediately, Fusu sat there cramped and restless, wanting to explain to Ran Fang, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only wait for Ran Fang's "judgment".
But Ran Fang just sat there lightly as if nothing had happened, continuing the matter in his hands.
There is no intention to question Fusu, nor does he mean to explore the truth of the matter.
This made Fusu a little confused, and he didn't understand what Ran Fang meant?
……
Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng sat on the high platform, thinking about the expressions of the hundred officials this morning, and knew that they did not agree on this matter.
But he didn't care, but he had to find an official who could serve as the imperial examination.
While he was thinking, Wei Liang walked in from outside the main hall and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Cheng, Wang Yushi and others are outside asking to see you. ”
Ying Zheng didn't have any expression, raised his head and nodded slightly.
"Xuan."
It was expected that Li Si came to find him, but he didn't expect Li Si to be so impatient, and so many ministers also came.
It seems that they are going to hold the imperial examination system, but it is rare for them to unite.
He raised his head and looked at Li Si and Wang Juan in official uniforms, as well as the people behind them.
"See Your Majesty."
"Get up."
After everyone stood up, Li Si raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng, and he could feel from Ying Zheng's eyes that Ying Zheng knew what he was going to say, and he would definitely not agree.
But in any case, he must fulfill his duties as prime minister.
He knelt straight on the ground, and the ministers behind him also knelt down, and said in unison: "Please take back your majesty's order." ”
Ying Zheng didn't speak, his brows frowned slightly, and his eyes were fixed on those people in the middle of the hall.
Li Si, Wang Juan and others could feel the oppressive eyes from Ying Zheng.
But they were not afraid at all, and even straightened their backs.
Li Si was going to go to Xianyang Prison and ask Ran Fang to persuade His Majesty to take back his fate, but he didn't expect Wang Juan to come to him and express his views on the imperial examination system, and felt that he still had to let His Majesty take back his fate.
Otherwise, when His Majesty decrees, this matter will not be able to return to heaven.
Thinking about it, he and Wang Juan and others, after discussing with the minister, came to the palace together and asked to see His Majesty.
Seeing that no one was silent, Wang Juan raised his head and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers all think that this matter is inappropriate. ”
"Now that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are eyeing Great Qin, if they are allowed to enter the court as officials, wouldn't they be disregarding the safety of Great Qin."
"When they make profits for the old land of the Six Kingdoms, what should Great Qin do?"
"That will cause the court officials to be detached from morality, and the people's hearts will be discouraged, how should they face the people of Daqin at that time?"
"Therefore, the ministers implore Your Majesty to retract the order."
Wang Juan has always been Ying Zheng what he does, and this is the first time he dares to face Ying Zheng like this and say these disapproving words.
He was also beating the drum in his heart, and after thinking about it, he was afraid that he would be remembered by His Majesty.
Sure enough, hearing Wang Juan's words, Yingzheng's brows furrowed even deeper.
"This corruption case is also in your eyes."
"If the officials of Great Qin don't change, I'm afraid they will all become moths, then what future does Great Qin have?!"
"I have already decided on the matter of the imperial examination system this time, and I have to mention it again!"
"Don't go to the prison to disturb Ran Fang, if he knows about it, I will never spare it!"
This was the purpose of Ying Zheng letting them in, and he knew that someone would definitely stab Ran Fang in this matter.
He was worried that Ran Fang would hold a grudge against "Uncle Su", and if he wanted to know anything at that time, he was afraid that Ran Fang would not say it.
Seeing this, Li Si and the others lowered their heads and wanted to argue a few more words, but they saw Yingzheng waving his hand and signaling Wei Liang to drive them all out.
Wei Liang immediately understood, stepped forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please." ”
Then he whispered: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood today, if you insist on it, I'm afraid you will get into trouble." ”
