Afterwards, Li Si turned to look at Mr. Li and said harshly: "Really? Did you accept bribes from Yan Jun privately?"
When Mrs. Li heard this, she became anxious and said quickly, "Master, it's not you..."
"Shut up, you still want to make excuses."
"Your Majesty, the sinful woman accepted bribes privately. According to the law, she should be exiled. Your Majesty, please issue an order to deal with her immediately."
Li Si was ruthless, so ruthless that he refused to recognize his relatives in order to protect himself.
The old fox is really a ruthless person, he can escape from his shell with just one trick.
Li Zhao secretly cursed.
You can even give up your married wife. To do this is to be drunk.
"Your Majesty, it is clear to you that Prime Minister Li really does not know what Li has done. Please deal with Li." The powerful ministers immediately stood up and said in unison.
That's really timely.
Ying Zheng's face was very dark. He looked at Li Si deeply, then walked towards Li Shi and asked, "Ms. Li, do you know your guilt?"
The laws of the Qin Dynasty were not that strict in this regard. If the family members of powerful people accepted bribes privately, they would not be able to implicate those in power, let alone Li Sinai, the prime minister.
Li was horrified, and when she saw Li Si's vicious eyes, she was completely stunned and could only nod helplessly.
Ying Zheng was so angry that he kicked Li's body and said violently: "Come here, exile this woman to a barbaric land."
Soon, the guards escorted Mrs. Li away, leaving only her mournful voice.
Li Zhao lamented that Li Si was able to sneak into the position of prime minister, and he was really good at it. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a chill behind his back. He turned around suddenly, only to find that Li Si's vicious eyes were staring at him, as if he wanted to tear him apart.
snort! It's his own fault, Li Zhao doesn't care.
Next is Yan Jun.
Ying Zheng glared sharply at Yan Jun. At this moment, Yan Jun felt like he was dead, his body was trembling and he couldn't stand up straight.
"Yan Jun, can you plead guilty?"
Yan Jun was so scared that he peed.
Although Li did not confess to him, he did trace the bribes from the rockery. Even if he wanted to quibble, some things could be investigated, and he could not withstand the investigation.
Of course, being deeply involved in official circles, he also knew that His Majesty did not deal with him directly but asked him. The intention was obvious, which was to leave him a way to live. If he did not understand the situation, he would die.
"I plead guilty!" Yan Jun lowered his head.
Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction. Although he did not drag Li Si into the water, it served as a good deterrent. This is the best result. As for Yan Jun, he brought it upon himself.
"Come here, drag him out and hand him over to Captain Ting."
Leave it to the Tingwei to handle it, which means it can be handled as appropriate.
"Okay, let's return to the topic we just discussed. Do you still have any objections?"
Ying Zheng's eyes swept across the powerful ministers like two rays of lightning, but no one dared to raise their heads. They were all speechless and frightened.
The effect of killing one person as a warning to others is extremely obvious.
"Okay, since everyone has no objections, then the imperial examination can be..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice came out.
"Father, I think it's inappropriate."
While he was talking, a young man walked out, with a pointed chin, straight nose, and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Hu Hai, what's your objection?" Ying Zheng was obviously unhappy, but he still asked.
Hu Hai?
Li Zhao, who was sitting below the driver, was stunned for a moment and looked at the young man seriously.
"It turns out that he is Hu Hai, and he is indeed not a good person."
Not good?
Hearing Li Zhao's thoughts, Ying Zheng expressed doubts. He knew his son's temperament best. How could he be a non-kind person?
"No, I can't be seen, otherwise it will be in danger in the future." Li Zhao thought to himself, retreating subconsciously, trying his best to hide himself.
What's the meaning?
Ying Zheng was confused after hearing this. Is it dangerous? Is my son that terrible? He is quite kind.
"And his teacher Zhao Gao is also not a kind person." Li Zhao patted his chest and quietly looked at both sides of Ying Zheng from the corner of his eye. He didn't find Zhao Gao. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: Fortunately, Zhao Gao is not here, otherwise he would The relationship with Li Si will definitely be against me.
Um!
Ying Zheng was slightly startled when he heard this. Is Zhao Gao not a kind person? Will it target him? No way! Zhao Gao is also very kind and obedient.
This kid was bitten by a snake once, but he was afraid of ropes for ten years!
"Hmph! It must be because of Li Si's guy!" For a moment, Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si again with cold eyes. Li Si was so frightened that he quickly shrank his head, and the prime minister's confidence disappeared.
"Father, I think it is inappropriate to implement the imperial examination." Hu Hai looked calm, held the scroll, bowed, and repeated.
Ying Zheng waved his hand for him to continue.
"It is indeed difficult to curb the laziness in our Daqin Dynasty Bureau. If we want to rectify this problem, supervision alone is of little use."
Um! Ying Zheng nodded and looked satisfied with Hu Hai. Based on this analysis, he was much better than Fu Su.
"Then why is it inappropriate to implement the imperial examination?"
Hu Hai seemed to be confident, smiled slightly, and said: "To implement the imperial examination, the prerequisite is to increase the number of students. It is necessary to abolish official education and promote private education. But has your father ever thought that the imperial examination means a future, a chance to become an official in the court? It’s like a fish leaping over the dragon’s gate, what a desirable existence.”
"That will inevitably lead to an influx of many students, including students from poor families. However, our Qin Dynasty emphasizes agriculture. Most of them are farmers. In addition to various expenses, their families really don't have much food leftover. What do they use to study?"
Um!
Ying Zheng frowned and suddenly felt that it made sense.
Promoting private education is bound to attract poor families to pursue private education. You have to pay tuition for studying, and you have to buy bamboo scrolls. All of these require a lot of expenditure, which is a big burden for poor families.
"The expenditure on bamboo scrolls and classics is really staggering. How can a poor family support it? Besides, taking the imperial examination may not necessarily lead to fame. Doesn't this accelerate their poverty?"
rational!
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Indeed, this is an issue that he has not considered. According to this statement, if the imperial examination is implemented, it will definitely benefit a small number of students, but it will harm the vast majority of poor students.
After all, learning is not something that happens overnight, it requires a long process, and during this process, a large amount of bamboo scrolls are consumed, which is indeed not easy.
According to the current price of bamboo scroll classics, students from poor families really cannot afford them.
This is also a problem!
Just as he was frowning, Li Zhao's voice suddenly came from his heart.
"Hu Hai is really worried. It's just bamboo scrolls. It's not easy to solve. Wouldn't it be enough to use paper instead of bamboo scrolls?"
Paper?
Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard this. What is paper? Is it something better than a bamboo scroll?
Involuntarily, he looked at Li Zhao.
Li Zhao suddenly felt confused and thought: There is something wrong with Qin Shihuang's eyes. I didn't say anything. Why are you paying so much attention to me? Could it be that there are flowers on my face?
You don’t have flowers on your face, but there are flowers in your mind!
Ying Zheng heard this and muttered to himself.
He wanted to ask directly what paper was, but he didn't know how to ask. Could it be that he said: Li Zhao, I heard your voice talking about paper, what is paper?
That is impossible.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Zhao's voice appeared again.
