After coming out of the palace, Li Si, Wang Wan and others also knew that there was no room for reversal in this matter.
I'm afraid that with Ying Zheng's determination, the decree on the imperial examination system will be issued soon.
At that time, the leaders of various countries will not miss this good news. If this matter is really what Ying Zheng thinks, will the future court still be what he thinks?
This is not something Li Si wants to see.
When Li Si returned to his house, he found that someone was already waiting for him. They were some officials who had a good relationship with him.
Everyone's face was full of sorrow, anxiously waiting for news from Li Si, wanting to know whether His Majesty had changed his mind.
Seeing Li Si enter the door, everyone immediately stood up and saluted Li Si respectfully: "See you, Prime Minister."
Li Si waved his hand casually, walked to his seat and sat down, and then motioned for them to sit down too.
Those people sat on the couch respectfully, no one dared to speak first, they were all waiting for Li Si to speak.
After a while, Li Si said in a low voice: "Since your Majesty has decided on the imperial examination system, as ministers of Great Qin, you should relieve your Majesty's worries."
As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that the imperial examination system was a foregone conclusion, and even Prime Minister Li Si could not stop the development of this matter.
Everyone lowered their heads and couldn't figure out why things developed like this.
There is an official who has been with Li Si for many years and he knows Li Si's character well.
Even if there was no room for change in this matter, Li Si would never compromise so easily.
He raised his head, looked at Li Si and asked, "Prime Minister, what should we do about this matter?"
"As a minister, we cannot just watch His Majesty act like this!"
"If I mix in with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, how should I explain to the people of Qin?"
Li Si glanced at the person who spoke. It was Zongzheng Muyan. Although this person was young, he could see the problem to the point and won his trust.
The remnants of the Six Kingdoms mentioned by Mu Yan now are exactly what Li Si is worried about.
If the remnants of the Six Kingdoms were allowed to serve as officials in the dynasty, would the Great Qin still be the Great Qin?
"This is also what worries me the most."
"But His Majesty has made up his mind. There is no room for change in this matter, so what should we do?"
When everyone saw what Li Si said, and then looked at Li Si's expression, they knew that he had already made a conclusion in his mind, but because of his status, some words could not be said too clearly.
Seeing this, Mu Yan thought for a while and then suggested: "Prime Minister, since your Majesty has set the time for the imperial examination system to be after May, we still have a chance."
"If the remnants of the Six Kingdoms want to enter Xianyang, they must go through the procedures, and even after entering Xianyang City, they must be registered again."
"At that time, just let the people below strictly manage it. If you find that there is a remnant from the Six Nations who wants to take advantage of the opportunity, just have his name crossed out."
"And His Majesty will not personally supervise the imperial examination system. Shouldn't it be handled in this way? Isn't it just a matter of a word from the Prime Minister?"
There is nothing wrong with this. Li Si's current power in the court is definitely less than one person and more than ten thousand people. As long as Li Si wants to do anything in Xianyang City, there is nothing he can't do.
What's more, this kind of thing does not require Li Si to personally take action. As long as he says a word lightly, many people will follow him and follow his lead.
Now that Mu Yan has said this, it is most appropriate for him to do it.
Li Si raised his head, took a look at his appearance, and nodded slightly. It was indeed what he thought.
"Well, I'll do as you say."
…
Ying Zheng originally thought that since he had given instructions on the imperial examination system, Ran Fang would definitely not know about it.
Unexpectedly, someone would appear and ask Ran Fang whether he could pass the imperial examination!
Looking at the case files handed over by Xianyang Prison, he actually felt a little frustrated.
And when Ran Fang tested Gu Siyuan, he obviously already knew about Zhi, but why didn't he ask Fusu?
This made Ying Zheng a little puzzled, but even in these conversations, he could feel that Ran Fang had already made some guesses.
"This Gu Siyuan really succeeds more than fails!"
After thinking about it, Ying Zheng came to the gate of Xianyang Prison again.
When he entered Xianyang Prison, he was still thinking about how to defend himself so that Ran Fang would not suspect his identity.
But when he walked into the cell and saw Ran Fang, he was still as usual, without any anger at being cheated, which made him a little at a loss.
Fusu was the first to feel that someone was coming. When he saw that it was Ying Zheng, he jumped up and stood up, not knowing where to put his hands because of his embarrassment.
"Father...Father."
Hearing his movement, Ran Fang also raised his head.
This time, Ran Fang's expression was different from before. He did not continue to sit there. Instead, he stood up, walked to Fusu's side, and took a deep look at Ying Zheng.
Then he bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng and said without any wavering in his tone: "See your Majesty."
After hearing these four words, Fusu's expression was a little shocked, and he turned his head to look at Ran Fang in disbelief.
But seeing that he still looked calm, he felt a little flustered and quickly wanted to explain: "Sir, how can my father be your Majesty?"
"Did you make a mistake?"
"you……"
Ran Fang said nothing, still maintaining the saluting posture, waiting for Ying Zheng's answer.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng raised his hand to interrupt Fusu's words, with a genuine expression on his face. He knew that with Ran Fang's intelligence, he could figure out all the keys as long as he was given a reminder.
He had never discovered it before, but it was just that he didn't want to think about it, or that he didn't want to get involved in those things. As long as he lived in his own little world, he would be the greatest happiness.
But now that things have reached this point, Ran Fang can't help but admit it.
After all, as soon as the imperial examination system came up, the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government would all think that it was Ran Fang who made the proposal. If someone was dissatisfied with this matter, they would probably take action against Ran Fang.
Now, his identity as a prisoner is no longer safe.
"Hahaha, get up."
"As expected, you have already guessed it. It seems that I have not underestimated you."
Ran Fang stood up straight, raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng, seeing a relaxed smile on his face.
But Ran Fang felt calm in his heart, even a little reluctant.
Without answering Ying Zheng's words, he walked straight to his seat and sat down casually. He did not treat Ying Zheng any differently because of his identity.
This made Fusu a little nervous. After all, no one in the world dared to let his father stand while he sat.
But Ying Zheng was not angry, and instead looked at Ran Fang with a somewhat appreciative expression.
Every time he came, Ran Fang acted like this, which made him feel very comfortable. Now Ran Fang's behavior made him feel like meeting an old friend.
Very comfortable.
There was no flattery because of his identity, which made him admire Ran Fang even more.
Immediately, he also sat down, opposite Ran Fang, looking at Ran Fang with burning eyes.
"When did Sir know the identity of the widow?"
"Is it just because of what Gu Siyuan said yesterday?"
