Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

Ying Zheng did not interrupt Lin Anlan. He still wanted to hear if the latter could tell him everything he was thinking.

Then Lin Anlan nodded to Meng Yi: "Yes, there are many benefits to not killing Zhao Gao. First, it can test who is loyal and who has ulterior motives; second, once the Qin is in turmoil, other forces will be unable to resist jumping out; third, it can boost the morale of the Qin soldiers; fourth, it is to prepare for the attack on the Xiongnu; fifth, it can inspire the fighting spirit of Prince Fusu!"

"This..." Meng Yi was stunned after hearing this. He had never thought so much, nor had he thought so far.

He was filled with shock: "Could it be that Your Majesty had already thought of this?"

"The First Emperor should have thought it through, but it's just not yet fully perfected."

Meng Yi couldn't help but ask, "I wonder how Mr. Lin knew this?"

"I guessed." Lin Anlan said casually.

"..."Meng Yi.

"..." Ying Zheng.

If they didn't know how amazing Lin Anlan was, they wouldn't have believed that this was just a guess.

"If it were you, what would you do?" Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan and asked. He wanted to see if Lin Anlan could really guess what he was thinking.

"If it were me, I would show weakness to the enemy first, so that they would lose their composure." Lin Anlan said in a deep voice, "When facing Zhao Gao in the court, I would also do the same as His Majesty the First Emperor and reluctantly withdraw from the court. In this way, as long as the enemy is in chaos, His Majesty the First Emperor can fish in troubled waters."

"He didn't use Zhao Sheng, probably for this purpose."

"Awesome!" Meng Yi looked at Lin Anlan in shock. He didn't expect that the other party could actually guess the inner thoughts of His Majesty. This was too amazing.

Ying Zheng was also shocked in his heart, but he did not show it, so as to avoid being discovered by Lin Anlan.

Then, Lin Anlan released another important analysis: "The reason why Zhao Gao wanted to rebel was because he had no other way out."

"What does Mr. Lin mean?" Meng Yi was a little confused.

"During the morning court session, His Majesty the First Emperor pretended to be reluctant to leave the court session, in fact, it was to let Zhao Gao and others jump out."

Meng Yi asked: "Why is this?"

Lin Anlan slowly uttered four words: "Borrow a knife to kill!"

"Kill with a borrowed knife?" Meng Yi frowned, and he began to think about the meaning of this sentence.

"That's right, use Zhao Gao as a piece of meat to lure out the hidden enemy." Lin Anlan nodded.

"This..." Meng Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide. He had thought about it a lot before, but he still didn't think of this. And Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan with a hotter gaze. He felt that this woman was like a treasure given to him by God, who could always help him at critical moments.

Meng Yi looked at Lin Anlan, his voice trembling: "Mr. Lin, is what you just said true?"

"Almost right." Lin Anlan nodded.

"Then what should we do?" Meng Yi asked hurriedly. He now completely believed the former's judgment.

"Wait." Lin Anlan only said one word at first, and then explained, "Wait for them to reveal their true colors."

"Should we prepare?"

Lin Anlan shook his head: "No, if the current situation continues, Zhao Gao will surely die, and then his crimes can be completely blamed on him. For example, he colluded with a cult and attempted a rebellion; or he plotted to murder Ying Zheng, which is unforgivable. In a word, put all the blame on Zhao Gao. In this way, the court can be stabilized."

"What a good plan." Meng Yi slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "In this way, even if those people don't die, they will be skinned alive."

"Brother, what do you think?" Lin Anlan looked at Ying Zheng and asked.

She noticed that Ying Zheng had not spoken, so she wanted to ask for his opinion.

"I think Mr. Lin's plan is brilliant." Ying Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice. At this moment, his eyes looking at Lin Anlan became extremely hot, as if he wanted to tie Lin Anlan back to Xianyang Palace immediately.

Then he sighed again: "Mr. Lin, if you can serve as an official in the court, there will be no worries about the Great Qin not being powerful."

"Let's talk about this later."

Lin Anlan shook her head. She still hadn't decided whether to enter the court as an official. Then she suddenly thought of something and said, "I have a plan that can solve the troubles of His Majesty the First Emperor."

"What's the plan?" Ying Zheng asked hurriedly.

Lin Anlan stretched out his right index finger and thumb: "I can give you a plan, but it will require some funds."

"What does this mean?"

Lin Anlan explained: "I need some bamboo slips to write on."

Ying Zheng directly took out a bag of gold and handed it to Lin Anlan: "I'll give you a bag of gold, is that enough?"

"That's enough." Lin Anlan took the money with a smile, "I can tell you now."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "I would like to hear the details."

She asked back: "Didn't you say that His Majesty the First Emperor has always been worried about the issue of talent?"

"That's right." Ying Zheng nodded.

"I now have a plan that can help you solve this problem." Under the curious gaze of the former, Lin Anlan slowly uttered four words, "I call it the imperial examination system."

"Imperial examination system?" Neither Ying Zheng nor Meng Yi had ever heard of this term.

"The so-called imperial examination system means that regardless of status, anyone with talent can enter the court to take the imperial examination. The content of the imperial examination can be either military strategy or state governance. As long as you pass the imperial examination, you can be granted an official position."

"Imperial examination system..." Ying Zheng muttered to himself.

"In this way, those nobles will not be able to monopolize official positions." Meng Yi also saw the key.

"That's right." Lin Anlan nodded, but she looked at the two of them in surprise, "It seems that you are quite interested! If I remember correctly, you are a noble, and Mr. Meng's family is also..."

"Oh! I am not a nobleman at all. I am just a businessman. What does the monopoly of official positions have to do with me?"

After hearing what Ying Zheng said, Meng Yi nodded and agreed: "Brother Zhao is right. My last name is Meng. If the First Emperor really implemented the imperial examination system, I might even take the imperial examination! I'd also like to get an official position!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's mouth twitched: This guy just talks without thinking. Doesn't the Meng family army want to accept it in the future?

However, he agreed with the idea of ​​the imperial examination system and couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Lin, you are really a remarkable man! With the imperial examination system, Daqin will have no worries about lack of talents. This plan is very good and can solve Daqin's urgent needs. Not only that, the emergence of the imperial examination system has laid a solid foundation for Daqin's future."

Ying Zheng's words revealed deep appreciation.

Meng Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Lin, your strategy is really amazing. Now think about it, Mr. Lin, you have more than one strategy."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Lin Anlan said.

"First, there was the Enfeoffment Order, then they used Zhao Gao to create chaos, then there was the potato and sweet potato yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu, and then there was the stone statue of Zulong." Meng Yi recounted Lin Anlan's strategies and sighed, "These strategies are closely linked, and each one paves the way for the next one."

Lin Anlan smiled and nodded: "That's right."
