Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

To be honest, even Tang Yu had to admire the ideas of these Confucian scholars.

He did indeed ask them to set the questions, but he didn't expect the Confucian scholars to be so bold as to set such outrageous questions for the exam.

The entire exam paper was filled with Confucian knowledge, and every line and even every word was a praise of Confucianism!

It's just missing the line "This is a Confucian examination paper" to be written on it.

Similarly, those selected in this way can only be Confucianists.

It's safe to say that if any of these Confucian scholars had any sense, they wouldn't have dared to be so blatant!

To Tang Yu's surprise, after setting the questions, these Confucian scholars revealed the content and answers of their questions to the Confucian disciples who had come to register for the secretary's examination.

They are really planning to have all the secretaries and officials in the entire Qin state appointed as Confucian disciples, which is a huge taboo!

This also created an invisible pitfall for all Confucian disciples.

They were celebrating yesterday that they had gotten the answers and even knew the exam content in advance.

But today, they are completely lost.

Not only was the exam content completely unrelated to yesterday's, but the entire exam paper contained no content related to Confucianism.

They were stunned! These people were completely stunned!

At this point, one of the Confucian scholars could no longer remain seated. He stood up and loudly proclaimed:

"Examiner, is there...is there a problem with this paper?"

He couldn't believe that Tang Yu could break his promise in front of so many people.

The guard from the Black Ice Platform glanced at him and immediately knew he was definitely a Confucian disciple. He then asked:

"What? Is there a problem? Out of all these test takers, are you the only one who thinks there's a problem with the exam paper, while everyone else thinks there's no problem?"

"But shouldn't the questions above be from our Confucian school? Why are they different?"

"What do you mean by that? Did you see the exam paper beforehand?"

These words startled the Confucian student, who quickly sat down with a frustrated expression.

The same scene unfolded in every examination hall, where these Confucian disciples had already made their decision.

After I get out, I'll definitely complain about Tang Yu to the professor and the others! I'll expose Tang Yu's true colors!

That Tang Yu is truly a heartless scoundrel! He's a complete liar!

But for now, they can only grit their teeth and bear it, and try to finish this unexpected test paper.

Question 1, answer freely.

As the Party Secretary, what do you think you need to do for the local people? What can you do for them?

"This...what is this?"

A Confucian disciple glanced at it with a troubled expression and immediately turned his attention to the second question.

Question two.

If your village is hit by a drought or other disaster, how would you help the local people survive?

"Does this...do these things have anything to do with becoming an official?"

"Shouldn't the exam be on the Analects and the Four Books and Five Classics? What are these things anyway?"

He finally couldn't help but shout out, feeling extremely wronged.

In another location, Zhang Liang examined the exam paper in his hand. At this moment, his eyes shone brightly, and his hand holding the brush trembled slightly.

He slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Your Excellency, I was wrong. After this exam, I will definitely come to your door to apologize!"

He had long suspected that Tang Yu's exam this time would be completely different from previous ones.

But he didn't expect that every single question in the test was closely related to the lives and happiness of ordinary people.

Those who spout Confucian doctrines and platitudes, what do they have to do with being an official? Can they help the local people live in peace and prosperity, or solve their living difficulties?

It is truly a tragedy for the people when someone who knows nothing becomes an official!

Only then did Zhang Liang realize that Tang Yu had truly achieved unity of knowledge and action.

He didn't just talk about it; he was dedicated to the peace and happiness of the people.

Tang Yu truly took action, even at the risk of offending the entire Confucian school!

Having made up his mind, Zhang Liang placed his brush on the precious paper.

He increasingly felt that Tang Yu was a person sent by heaven to save the people of the six kingdoms!

At this moment, there are quite a few people in the examination hall who share Zhang Liang's thoughts.

After all, in such a vast Qin Dynasty, there were quite a few people with real talent and learning, and at this moment, they all had the same idea in their hearts.

This Grand Preceptor is a man who truly works for the people and for the Qin Dynasty!

"Your humble servant Chunyu Yue pays his respects to the Imperial Preceptor!"

Halfway through the assessment, Tang Yu had already shaken off Xiang Yu and returned to Xianyang Palace.

At this moment, the exam has become a battleground for various forces, while the Confucianists feel that they have the victory in their grasp.

Seeing Chunyu Yue's completely unaware expression, Tang Yu couldn't help but admire his thorough preparation.

No candidate may leave the examination room before the exam time ends; otherwise, they will be executed immediately!

This is why, even now, these Confucian scholars haven't realized the problem.

Tang Yu glanced at Chunyu Yue and the many people from the Doctoral Palace beside him, then stepped forward and whispered:

"Gentlemen Doctors, I'm sure the Confucian scholars have already mastered the exam questions, haven't they?"

"Haha, Your Excellency, what are you saying? We still have a lot to do with you!!!"

These people laughed heartily, clearly extremely happy.

Tang Yu felt nauseous when he recalled the greedy and undisguised expressions of those idiots after they set the questions yesterday.

However, in order to make use of the other party one last time, he still communicated with them.

"In that case, I wonder if you gentlemen could lend me a hand again? So that the paper I produce may become famous throughout the entire Qin Dynasty!"

"Easy to say! Easy to say!"

These scholars began to seek out their Confucian disciples, passing the knowledge down from one to another, directly through oral transmission.

The entire Qin Dynasty was once again swept up in a paper craze, with people discussing it extensively.

"The paper used for this assessment of secretaries and officials is actually usable, exceptionally lightweight, and not expensive at all!"

"I wish I could use this paper to write!"

"Sigh, these kinds of things are probably too expensive for poor families like ours..."

Tang Yu nodded in satisfaction, confirming that Confucianism had once again shone brightly.

Turning around, Tang Yu looked at Chunyu Yue, and under his terrified gaze, Tang Yu slowly uttered a sentence.

"Dr. Chunyu Yue, your Confucian scholars are truly bold and have extensive connections!"

"Lord Fang, you flatter me. It's just that..."

He wanted to exchange pleasantries, but unexpectedly, Tang Yu said something that he would never forget.

"After all, they managed to find assassins in Jingchu, and even dared to take action against me and Fusu's kid. They certainly have guts and connections!"

"Boom!"

This statement was like a bolt from the blue!

Chunyu Yue was dumbfounded. He looked at Tang Yu's smiling face and even thought he was hallucinating.

But upon closer inspection, he saw the chill hidden deep in Tang Yu's eyes and knew he hadn't misheard.

Tang Yu knows!

How could that be? Doesn't that mean...?

It’s over! All is lost!

Chunyu Yue trembled all over, large beads of sweat dripping from his temples. He looked at Tang Yu shakily.

"Your Excellency, we were wrong..."
