The next day.
Fusu was originally very sure that the first rebellion would occur in Chudi.
It's just that Ji Heng has never followed common sense. After thinking about it for a night, he couldn't help but become a little hesitant.
Think about it.
Decided to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find someone to ask.
When Fusu arrived at the government hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he found that Li Si, Feng Quji and others were there, with a pile of official documents on everyone's case.
In an instant, Fusu couldn't speak.
At this moment, he remembered something Ji Heng had mentioned before.
In a moment of thought.
I already have an idea in mind.
"I have met the eldest son!" Li Si and others stood up together.
"Fusu has met all the officials." Fusu hurriedly returned the greeting with his hands raised, "I haven't had anything to do recently. I accidentally heard someone mention one more thing. In recent years, the imperial court has recruited officials, and many of them have not been promoted. I was curious, so I wanted to come over to verify some situations, and I would like to ask your forgiveness for disturbing me."
"No trouble, no trouble. You're welcome, eldest son." Feng Quji smiled boldly.
"The eldest son can care about these crude political affairs. This is the great fortune of the Qin Dynasty. Why bother him?" Hu Wujing also laughed.
The officials around him nodded.
"Eldest Young Master, please take a seat." Li Si looked as usual, turned around and loudly ordered for hot soup to be served.
When the clerk brought the hot soup, Fusu drank a few sips. During the waiting time, a clerk had delivered the relevant bamboo slips to the political hall. Li Si glanced at it briefly and said in a deep voice: "Master, What I heard is true. In recent years, the imperial court has recruited officials, and there are many people who will not be promoted if they are not qualified."
between words.
Li Si has placed the bamboo slips on the case.
"Can you tell me the details?" Fusu asked quickly.
"Then I will report the situation in the past few years to the eldest son." Hu Wujing went to the case, took the bamboo slips in his hand, cupped his hands and said: "In the ninth year of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, in addition to the doctorate academy, scholars were recruited. , and also recruited more than 1,000 prestigious scholars from various places, of which only more than 200 became officials, and the rest of the scholars refused for various reasons."
Feng Quji added from the side:
"The imperial court has a self-explanatory criterion for recruiting scholars."
"That is, we must support the Empire's New Deal."
"However, in the past, many people in the world regarded Qin as ignorant barbarians, so most of the scholars in Guandong despised Qin, so there were so few officials in Qin."
"However, after Qin unified the world, the empire has been vigorously promoting the creation of new policies and searching for talents from all over the world. All the honest and capable officials of the six countries have been retained. This has shown the attitude of the empire to the world and will not use political opinions. Even if people are gone, the idea of governing the country will not be the important criterion as it was in the era of great strife."
"Therefore, as time goes by, the situation of Guandong scholars underestimating Qin will gradually be reversed."
Hear the words.
Fusu was noncommittal.
He said coldly:
"The Confucians headed by Kong Kun in the Doctoral Academy have fled Xianyang one after another in the past six months."
"The situation of scholars underestimating Qin will not change in a short time."
"The Great Qin Dynasty has been attracting talents from all over the world since the reform of the ancestors of Xiaogong, but it has always despised Confucianism who advocated restoration and benevolent government."
"You don't have to be afraid to speak out just because I am pro-Confucian."
"Qin Ru's alienation is a fact!"
Hearing Fusu's words, Feng Quji and several other officials showed a hint of relief in their eyes, and said in a deep voice: "In the past hundred years, Confucianism has become a truly prominent school in the world, and its influence in the world is increasing day by day. At the beginning of the founding of the Qin Dynasty, they wanted to He treated Confucianism as an example and demonstrated to the world the way of recruiting talents under the Empire's New Deal. However, Qin and Confucianism looked down upon each other, and the Confucians did not reciprocate the favor. Instead, they persisted in going their own way as if they had relapsed and stood firmly opposite the Empire's New Deal."
"Insist on restoration, restoration of rites, and restoration."
"How can Great Qin tolerate these remnants of the restoration?"
"In fact, most of the scholars who conquered the Qin Dynasty in recent years came from Confucianism."
"If you are a Confucian scholar, it is truly a blessing in the world!"
"These Confucian scholars never make decisions based on whether they are in line with the popular trend. They only choose based on whether they can benefit themselves and bring them privileges."
"Confucian scholars should not be appointed!"
Feng Quji scolded Confucianism loudly with a sullen face.
Fusu smiled bitterly.
What he didn't understand was that this was meant for him.
Qin Confucianism does not stand in harmony.
Fusu nodded slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Fusu has been taught."
"Fusu has been deeply reflecting during this period."
"In the past, it was true that I mistakenly believed the words of Confucian scholars such as Kong Kun." Immediately, Fusu also changed the topic and asked: "I wonder which local officials are unwilling to be promoted, and where do most of them come from in Guandong?"
Hu Wujing clapped the bamboo slips in his hand and continued: "My eldest son."
"A few years before the founding of the Qin Dynasty, officials from the six regions in Guandong were not promoted rashly. They only reinstated some officials in Guandong and used a few years as an evaluation. In these two years, the imperial court evaluated the achievements of officials in Guandong in the past few years. Only then gradually began to resume promotion calls.”
"So the number of officials involved is not large."
"But he who is not near is near..."
"Sixty percent!"
"Sixty percent?" Fusu exclaimed.
He actually thought that there would be many officials who were unwilling to be promoted, but he never thought that there would be so many people who were unwilling to be promoted.
These officials passed the court exams and their abilities were recognized by the court.
But this ratio is too high.
These officials are all capable.
Next breath.
Fusu's face darkened.
The fact that these officials are not promoted is actually very obvious.
These people are all smart people. They may have realized that the world of Qin is unstable, so they are unwilling to be promoted.
Otherwise, once Gao Sheng goes to a strange place and something happens to Da Qin, they will undoubtedly be in a very dangerous situation. If they don't Gao Sheng and continue to stay in the local area, they have the reputation, connections, and connections, so even if Da Qin is in chaos, they can still make ends meet. .
Fusu clenched his fists, finally feeling a little annoyed.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly: "Please tell me the details."
Hu Wujing's face remained as usual, and he spoke indifferently and calmly: "Among the officials who are not here, the one most valued by the imperial court is Xiao He, the chief official of Pei County. This man is good at solving cases and making prison orders. He has won the national examination for two consecutive years. He was the best (first) in the competition, and he was favored by several censors for promotion, but they all rejected him one after another."
"In addition, there is a warden in Peixian County named Cao Shen. He was favored by a censor last year, but this person also chose not to go!"
"besides."
"There are also Wu Rui, the magistrate of Wu County, Cao Jiu, the warden of Qixian County, Wu Zhu, the commander of Minzhong County, Uncle Le of Dongxiang..."
Hu Wujing told these officials one by one.
Listening to the names of these officials, Fusu took a deep breath to calm down, and then asked: "Among these officials who are not here, which place has the most officials?"
Hu Wujing blurted out without any hesitation: "Chu Di."
Hear the words.
"Chu Di?" Fusu looked angry again, but then he smiled and said, "I should have guessed it earlier."
"Only Chu Di has such deep resentment towards Da Qin."
"Chu is determined to destroy Qin!"
