Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.
Chapter 27 The Unlucky Old Man
"A disciple of the Emperor??"
A phrase kept echoing in Ying Zheng's mind as he pondered its meaning.
After thinking for a moment, a glimmer of light seemed to appear in his eyes, but more than anything, there was confusion.
"I can roughly understand the meaning of the term 'Mr. Tang,' but why is he called 'disciple of the emperor'?"
Tang Yu glanced at Ying Zheng, searched his memory for the origin of the term, and looked at the other party with some emotion.
In a way, their fates were quite similar, and even the fates of their two dynasties were somewhat similar.
Why do you look at me like that, sir?
Ying Zheng seemed to have returned to his youth, chatting with friends as if he were no longer so serious. Tang Yu then said:
"I think that person is just as unlucky as you!"
"how do I say this?"
After sorting out the timeline of the Sui and Tang dynasties, Tang Yu began to tell him the stories of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
"Many heroes emerged during the chaotic centuries that followed, but in the end, one man brought an end to this period of chaos and established a dynasty called the Sui Dynasty."
"This person is somewhat similar to you. He also did something that was a crime in his time but a meritorious deed for generations to come, and his dynasty also perished after only two generations!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's hand clenched involuntarily, but then he let it relax weakly.
He was already experiencing some lingering effects from the phrase "died after two generations," but he knew that what he was doing was to change the tragic ending, so he patiently listened to Tang Yu's story.
"He opened a Grand Canal running from north to south, which ensured the smooth development of the economy, people's livelihood, and trade for hundreds of years to come. Similarly, he created a system for aristocratic families, namely the imperial examination system!"
"This imperial examination system..."
After hearing the entire story of the imperial examination system, even Ying Zheng was shocked. Finally, he turned around and let out a long sigh of relief.
"This emperor is truly a genius!!"
Tang Yu nodded in agreement.
"Yes, and the source of these imperial students is the imperial examination system."
Ying Zheng smiled slightly, his expression unusually calm, but he already had some ideas in mind.
According to Mr. Tang, this emperor established the imperial examination system to prevent the power of aristocratic families from continuing to expand and to give ordinary people a chance to rise in society. Even though my Qin Dynasty is not in that situation now, it seems that the imperial examination system could be implemented in my Qin Dynasty.
Then he asked Tang Yu tentatively.
"I wonder if Mr. Tang's imperial examination system might cause problems if His Majesty of Qin takes too big a step. Besides, I still have something I haven't brought out yet. When the time comes, let's use it together so that His Majesty can gather all the talents in the world in Xianyang, and make Qin a true nation that lasts for ten thousand generations!"
Ying Zheng nodded. After all, what Mr. Tang said made sense. Taking such big steps could easily lead to problems. They could only start making plans after resolving some issues. At this moment, he also realized what Tang Yu had said.
"Mr. Tang! If it weren't for the imperial examination system, how could they become the emperor's disciples?!"
"Hehe, that's easy."
Tang Yu discovered that Brother Zheng was sometimes too honest and suffered because of his honesty. Did he have to teach them classes and give them benefits to be considered disciples of the emperor?
Make a few promises, paint a couple of rosy pictures, and they'll enjoy it just the same, still acting like the emperor's protégés!
"Your Majesty, I am responsible for selecting the secretaries in this county system. After the selection, Your Majesty may allow them to enter the Xianyang Palace, where Your Majesty will then examine and instruct them."
“Arrange for each of them to take up their post. They will remember His Majesty’s kindness, and then I can spread the word that they are the Emperor’s disciples. Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?”
"Similarly, the next time we want to truly implement the imperial examination system, we can use this as a model example, which can greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of the people and officials of Qin. What does Your Majesty think?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Tang Yu and was overjoyed.
"Mr. Tang! Mr. Tang! It is truly an honor for the sir to meet you!"
"Your Majesty, starting tomorrow, I will begin the first selection of secretaries. I hope Your Majesty will support me at that time."
"Of course I support you! Grand Preceptor, just go ahead and do your thing. I will always be behind you!"
……
The moment the two made their decision, Tang Yu discovered that something else had been refreshed in the space he was carrying.
Tang Yu was secretly surprised when he saw what had been refreshed in the space; it was a complete set of health and wellness equipment.
That's wonderful! It seems that Heaven is still protecting the Qin Dynasty!
With these things in place, the problem of Zheng Ge wanting to live to be a hundred years old can definitely be solved!
……
Back at his residence, Tang Yu had just sat on the bed when he heard someone coming to visit him outside the door.
Tang Yu thought it was Fusu coming to visit him, but when he opened the door, he was surprised to find two people he had never seen before.
At this moment, the guard assigned to Tang Yu by Ying Zheng began to introduce him.
"Your Excellency, this is Lord Chunnan, originally a nobleman of the Zhao state, who is now utterly loyal to our Great Qin."
After glancing at the man, Tang Yu noticed that he wasn't recorded in history books, so it seemed he hadn't done anything significant.
Besides, Tang Yu didn't recognize the other person's face that morning, so it must be because he didn't mess around with Xiong Meng and the others that morning.
Tang Yu smiled and asked, "What brings you here, Chunnan?"
Chun Nanjun smiled as he was treated warmly by Tang Yu.
"I have long admired you, Grand Preceptor. Today, I heard that you displayed great power in the court and made the people of Qin proud. Therefore, I have come to pay you a visit!"
Seeing that the other party said this, Tang Yu didn't want to hit a smiling person, so he quickly invited the other party inside. The young man following behind the other party also went in.
Sitting cross-legged at the table, Tang Yu sized up Chun Nan Jun in front of him, who truly had the air of an aristocrat.
Although he may not be particularly handsome, his aura is undeniable!
He was somewhat curious as to why this person would come looking for him.
After all, this morning I had truly wiped out a group of nobles from six kingdoms. Even though we weren't on the same side, it was inevitable that we would feel a sense of shared fate.
"Lord Chunnan, what are your thoughts on my actions in court today, given that I am a noble from one of the six kingdoms?"
After the greeting, the almost obvious question caught Chunnan-kun off guard, and he then managed a wry smile.
"They deserved it. Even in my Zhao Kingdom, the people are entitled to protection under the law. The Grand Preceptor did nothing wrong!"
Seeing that the other party's behavior didn't seem fake, Tang Yu nodded. It seemed that there were reasonable people among the nobles.
At this moment, Chunnan pulled out the young man beside him.
"The reason I came to visit the Grand Preceptor today is also due to the influence of my younger brother."
His name was Zhang Liang!
