After passing the sub-examination of Emperor Wen of Sui, the local heroes could not be elected to become local officials, but were assigned to take root in places far away from their hometowns. Just like the Han Dynasty's Tui En Order, the local entrenched family power collapsed little by little.

When those powerful trees were dismantled, the imperial examination system changed from "recommendation examination" to "self-lifting", the open card examination became a vague name examination, and the examiner's determination of the universe became the palace examination.

Emperor Wen of Sui's sub-examination was not a imperial examination, but it can indeed be said to be the first of its kind in the imperial examination.

Ying Xiaozheng, who has grown from the cub of the first emperor to the young man of the first emperor, is worthy of his reputation as an emperor through the ages, and he has stepped into the real fame and self-promotion.

After Zhu Xiang finished reading it, he looked at Ying Xiaozheng's bottom, and his eyes were very strange.

Ying Xiaozheng couldn't help but stop his legs: "Uncle, what are you looking at!" ”

Zhu Xiang said slowly: "I think you take too big a step, will you pull your little ball." ”

Ying Xiaozheng said angrily: "My balls are not small...... No, uncle, what are you talking about? Can you just say it, don't beat around the bush! ”

Bai Qi, who was listening to the set board, almost squirted out the wolfberry and red date tea in his mouth.

Zhu Xiang smiled and said, "I mean it literally." ”

Zhu Xiang flicked Ying Xiaozheng's manuscript and said, "You did think of a good way, but have you ever thought about resistance?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng frowned and said, "There is resistance, I ......"

"Cut it?" Zhu Xiang scratched Ying Xiaozheng's eyebrows, making Ying Xiaozheng's brows stretch, "Zheng'er, does governing the country only need to cut off the people who disobey you?" Is it that simple? Then King Zhao wants to kill me, is it also a very correct way to govern the country? ”

Ying Xiaozheng immediately said: "This is different! ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Okay, don't compare me. You see, although the Qin State said that the prince could not be knighted without merit, the Qin State clan was actually raised by the Qin State, even if it was separated by several generations from your blood relationship, and they almost never met. Can you say that if you don't give money, you won't give money? ”

Ying Xiaozheng frowned again, and when Zhu Xiang was about to stretch out his hand again, he quickly let go of his brows: "No." ”

"Don't you understand?" Zhu Xiang said with a smile, "You see, although your monarch's father has canceled the name of 'Keqing', but when he reused your Xun Weng and the two uncles, the other high-ranking officials in the court were all people who had been in the Qin State for several generations. When selected from the Xianyang Academy, it was also dominated by local scholars of the Qin State. Is it because your monarch looks down on the people of the Six Kingdoms and is afraid of being mixed in? ”

Ying Xiaozheng thought about it and shook his head slowly, but did not speak. He vaguely knew something in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it, because he would be very unhappy if he did.

But the way to govern the country has nothing to do with whether the monarch wants it or not.

Zhu Xiang said: "I once told you that the current structure of the country is a conical tower. The monarch is at the top, the despised common people are the foundation, and the middle is the scholars. The monarch wants to sit at the top of the tower......"

Zhu Xiang draws on the table.

"The monarch often neglects the common people at the bottom, because even if the bottom is hollowed out, the whole tower will not collapse immediately. But if you ignore the bottom floor, when the base of the tower is shaken, the tower will no longer be able to be repaired, and it can only be invalidated. ”

"The most intuitive effect of the stability of the monarch's position is counting down from the top of the tower, and the closer to the monarch's position, the easier it is to shake the monarch's position."

"The nobles of the world and the scholars of the old place are the closest tower floors to the monarch."

"Zheng'er, if you want to replace the tower floor closest to you, you can only strengthen a part of it first, and then take out a very small part, so that if you change it little by little, the tower will not topple."

"If you open and close directly, the tower floor will be changed, and the tower will fall." Zhu Xiang seemed to be joking, when only he knew, he was telling the truth, "But if you do this, it will not be too bad for the people of the world, but it will be a new and stronger tower built on your foundation by future generations." It's just that your position as monarch is gone, and it's still a good deal. ”

"It's a good deal!" Ying Xiaozheng's face turned red with anger, snatched the manuscript in Zhu Xiang's hand, turned around and ran, shouting as he ran, "Uncle, you wait!" I would definitely write a better homework! ”

Behind him, the attendant who was so frightened by Zhu Xiang's words that he wanted to cover his ears hurriedly followed and left.

Zhu Xiang sighed: "I said it wasn't homework...... Why does this kid always add homework to himself. ”

Bai Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes: "You have taught the way to control for the king, and you said that it is not a lesson for the prince." ”

Zhu Xiang was stunned for a while, slapped his thigh, and suddenly realized: "It's true!" ”

Isn't the imperial examination the way of the feudal emperor to control the king!

Bai Qi was also stunned for a moment, and then held his forehead and smiled bitterly.

When Zhu Xiang was "chatting", did he not know what he was talking about? !

Chapter 212: Xinling Jun is drunk

Zhu Xiang felt that it was very interesting that he suddenly had the ability to teach "the way of being a king", so he specifically mentioned this matter in the document he gave to Zichu, and attached Ying Xiaozheng's homework.

When Zhu Xiang wrote the letter, he smiled at Zi Chu and said that Zi Chu's eldest father asked Zi Chu to worship him as a teacher in public, so he is now here to teach Zi Chu.

When sending the letter, Zhu Xiang looked at the ship slowly offshore, looking a little stunned.

He was diligent in writing letters with Zi Chu, Lin Zhen, and Cai Ze, but in the south and north of the world, the Yangtze River and the Han River, he was able to communicate with his friends twice a year, and it was the King of Qin who gave him the privilege to send letters with military intelligence.

He communicated with Xianyang once, and the money spent was enough for an ordinary person to spend for half a year.

Zhu Xiang misses the time in his previous life, as long as he wants, he can talk to his friends every day. If you have a whim, even if it's just a weekend of free, you can also take a plane or high-speed train to meet friends from all over the world.

The ship carrying the letter drifted away.

Zhu Xiang shook his head, turned around and went home.

He misses his previous life a lot, and this one is not missing.

"Do you want to drag the merchant to deliver a letter to Xinlingjun?" Zhu Xiang remembered this friend who had not been heard from for a long time.

Zhu Xiang is a person with great action. Thinking of it, he immediately wrote a letter with ink, greeting Xinling Jun, scolding the king of Chu by the way, and blowing about his own housekeeper.

The letter is well written.

Zhu Xiang handed the letter to the merchant who was going to the Central Plains, asked him to spend more time to help him deliver the letter, and gave the merchant money.

The merchant couldn't shirk it, accepted the money, and left happily.

He put the money in his bag or let people hang it up as a talisman for himself and his family.

This is the money that Zhu Xianggong handed to him personally, and with Zhu Xianggong's immortal talent, nobility, and benevolence, he will definitely be able to bless his elders with no illness and no disaster, and his heirs will be worry-free.

After Zhu Xiang's letter was sent away, Ying Xiaozheng was still struggling with his "homework".

He changed several versions of the plan, and after changing it, he abandoned it again, and he never showed it to Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang saw that Ying Xiaozheng drilled the tip of the horns and taught him to brainstorm.

Ying Xiaozheng called Li Si and Han Fei over and thought with him.

Li Si and Han Fei are considered Han scholars, and the other is a clan, and they happen to have different statuses, and they look at problems from very different angles.

Seeing that Li Si and Han Fei were arguing so much that their faces turned red and they didn't come out of the quarrel, Ying Xiaozheng became even more irritable.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiang half-wickedly added two people to Ying Xiaozheng to discuss together.

Zhu Xiang asked Fuqiu to temporarily follow Ying Xiaozheng's side, and personally arrested Meng Tian, who refused to take off his battle robe, from the barracks, and forced him to do the work of returning to the civil service.

Fuqiu can barely be regarded as a local powerhouse in the Six Kingdoms; The Meng family has been living in the Qin State for generations, and they are already regarded as the local Shiqing of the Qin State. They are still a heavy text and a heavy martial arts, and the perspectives of the two are also very interesting.

Li Mu has not sent troops recently. He watched this interesting debate with Bai Qi and felt a lot.

There is still one Qin clan left, and these people include all the interest groups that King Qin needs to consider.

Zhu Xiang smiled: "Still a clan? Adult Python came over. ”

Cheng Dada ran over, threw himself into Zhu Xiang's arms, and was picked up by Zhu Xiang.

It has been less than a month since Zhu Xiang came back, and Cheng Chan's action of hugging his uncle's neck is already very proficient: "Uncle, what's the matter!" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "You also join in, so it's complete." ”

Cheng Chan: "Okay! ”

Trouble for the prince's brother? With his uncle's backing, he's going to do it!

Ying Xiaozheng's phoenix eyes turned into dead fish eyes.

Uncle just tossed him on purpose, right?

But his uncle was clearly tossing him, but it seemed very reasonable, which made Ying Xiaozheng extremely frustrated, and he could only follow Zhu Xiang's plan.

Li Mu asked privately: "Zhu Xiang, do you really want Zheng'er to come up with a perfect solution?" ”

Zhu Xiang smiled and shook his head: "There is no perfect solution. I just let him know that there would be these problems. ”

Li Mu was a little worried: "Zheng'er feels frustrated, will she be unhappy?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Now that Xia Tong is on top, he is so wanton." When he was the king of Qin, there were too many unsatisfactory things. He needs to choose between perfection and compromise. ”

Zhu Xiang sighed, remembering the past when King Qin Zhaoxiang suppressed his desire to expand in his later years and stopped recuperating.

"Tempering desires is something that Mingjun must do. This desire is not only a bad desire, but also a good desire, such as the ambition to become the emperor of the ages. Zhu Xiang said, "A generation does a generation's things, and if you want to do more, you have to overdraft now." If there is a loan, there must be repayment, and when it is repaid, it will definitely bring interest. If you don't count this account well, even if you become an emperor through the ages, but ......"

Zhu Xiang smiled and didn't say the rest of the words.

Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng has fans all over the world in modern times, and both men and women must affectionately call him Brother Zheng.

But no matter how great his credit is, Qin also began with Yingzheng and died in Yingzheng.

Less than a year after the death of Qin Shi Huang, anti-Qin banners bloomed everywhere. Before his death, the situation in the Qin State was out of control.

If Qin Shi Huang was given a map of the world and allowed Qin Shi Huang to continue to expand outward, as later generations said, it would hasten the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

Because at that time, the Qin State had been dragged to the brink of collapse by military service and conscription.

Becoming the first emperor of the ages, the price is the death of Qin II, such an emperor of the ages, do you like Zheng'er?

Zheng'er said that he was going to jump up and blow up his uncle's dog's head.

Oh, Zheng'er is tall now, and there is no need to jump up and fight. Zhu Xiang thought in his heart.

Li Mu said: "You, the teacher, are actually very strict. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "How come? It's just that Zheng'er himself has high requirements for himself. ”

Li Mu said: "Let it be like this. I'm going to the sea again, if you want to go to some adventure, the prophet will call Bai Gong and ask him to check for you, remember to bring more people. ”

Zhu Xiang waved his hand with a dark face: "Go and go, if you say anything unlucky, I won't take any more risks!" ”

Li Mu hugged his arms and sighed.

You take risks yourself, and you still say that it is unlucky? Who is unlucky?

Li Mu couldn't stay idle and left Wu County again.

Bai Qi also wanted to go. But he hadn't adapted to the climate of Wu County yet, and was conditioning his body with the help of Bian Que, so he could only stay in Wu County, and often went to the new base of the boat master near Guangling City.

Zhu Xiang saw that Bai Qi couldn't be idle, so he handed over the military workshop in Wu County to Bai Qi.

He thought that Bai Gong must have liked to be the first to touch the most advanced weapons of the Qin army.

Zhu Xiang "sent" Bai Qi so much, and asked Bai Qi to do what such a petty official did, and those who knew Bai Qi's true identity were surprised.
