"Your Majesty, please release the censors. They are known for their outspokenness. How can you place them under house arrest just because they disagree with the new laws decreed by Your Majesty?"
"It's even more absurd that ordinary people can participate in next year's spring examination. We have studied hard for many years just for this opportunity. If everyone can participate, then we scholars will have wasted many years of our time."
The scholars in the front rows spoke one sentence after another to the three princes in front.
Just when they were thinking that the three princes must be frightened, they saw the third prince sitting in a wheelchair, and something like a trumpet appeared in his hand.
"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet. If you have any questions, please come one by one. There are too many of you talking at once, and we can't hear you clearly."
When Qin Jinlin said this, the scholars below were dumbfounded.
Shouldn't they be scared, or angry and want to take them away directly?
How to let them come slowly.
This is not right!
Prime Minister Jin was also surprised.
It's not that he hasn't had contact with the three princes before. He used to give them lessons. But today, the emperor asked him to raise pigs, and he hadn't seen them for a few months.
He seemed to have trouble seeing these three people.
Seeing that there was no sound from below, Qin Jinlin quickly signaled the Second Prince to come forward.
The Second Prince took the speaker and said, "First question, abolishing the current laws of the Qin Dynasty because they are unsustainable is not true. The original intention of the laws of the Qin Dynasty was to make the Qin Dynasty better. You dare not even try? Is this the courage of the Qin people?"
"I believe that the people of Daqin are ambitious. Only after trying and discovering problems can we make changes. If we don't even dare to change, how can we defeat other countries? How can we, Daqin, stay at the forefront of all nations?"
The Second Prince is doing well. He's made great progress recently. Mother told me that he's been following the First Prince's lead. They've been studying hard day and night, even taking time out to conduct experiments and compile technical manuals.
[If the Second Prince continues like this, he will definitely make greater contributions to the Qin Empire.]
The Second Prince said this to explain, but in fact he was forcing the scholars below to express their opinions.
If you are unwilling to try, it means you have no ambition and you don't want Qin to be at the forefront of other countries.
If I really said that, I'm afraid everyone here will throw rotten eggs at me.
Sure enough, the scholars below stopped talking.
The eldest prince took the speaker and continued, "The second prince has already answered the second question. Because we three princes are young, we have more time to work with the people to refine this law until it can protect all the people's needs."
"If any law seems unreasonable, we can explore it further."
"The third question is, did the emperor let those censors go? I don't know where the gentlemen before me heard that. My father is kindhearted, and the people of Daqin are all aware of that. If these censors hadn't truly committed a crime, why would they be placed under house arrest for investigation?"
"If you want to know what crimes the censors have committed, you are welcome to go to the Ministry of Justice to check the latest cases. The latest laws stipulate that in the future, the Ministry of Justice will publish public notices on all cases so that the people can monitor the subsequent progress of the cases."
The scholars in the front row blushed. They came in a hurry and did not read the laws of the Qin Dynasty carefully. They just listened to others talking about some abnormal laws.
"May I ask Your Highness, the law says that a woman can divorce her husband. Is this true?" The scholar was unwilling to accept that his words were blocked.
"really."
"As the ancients said, 'Obey your father at home and obey your husband after marriage.' If a woman could divorce her husband, wouldn't that be chaos?"
The eldest prince looked at the other party and laughed out loud.
"Sir, you also mentioned that the ancients said something like this, but the present is different from the past, so how can we compare the past to the present?"
"The law is very clear. Whether it's a divorce, a divorce, or a divorce, you need to submit documents to the relevant department. The government will investigate the matter before it approves it."
"Instead of deciding the fate of a couple based on one person's words as before."
"You only see a woman divorcing her husband, but what I see is two people who can't live together because of emotional discord or other reasons and are forced to separate."
"And such choices should be protected by our Great Qin laws, not by some individuals who can act recklessly."
The scholars below were so stunned by what the eldest prince said that they fell silent.
How could a prince who hasn't even married know so much?
In fact, the eldest prince knew that his mother was suffering, and he also knew that his mother did not want to stay in the palace at all. She and his father only respected each other like guests, nothing more.
After this law came out, he wanted for a moment to divorce his mother and father.
Let the Queen Mother go wherever she wants to go, and for this, he must become stronger.
Only when he becomes stronger will he be qualified to negotiate with his father.
And because of his mother's unhappiness, he actually didn't want to get married unless he met someone he truly loved.
My father also said that marrying the daughter of a certain party in order to gain the support of the other party will harm others as well as yourself.
The Qin royal family no longer needs to rely on marriage alliances to stabilize their status.
Seeing that the eldest prince was lost in thought, Qin Jinlin took the loudspeaker and continued, "The last question is, you say it's unfair."
"What's unfair about that? You've read so many books, but you don't have the confidence to surpass those who haven't. You should ask yourself this."
"Regarding next year's spring examination, it is clearly written that if anyone passes the imperial examination, three additional points will be awarded."
"If you have these three points and still can't compare to others, then you really need to reflect on yourself."
[Is my brother really less than ten years old? ]
[He actually said something so mature, it's terrifyingly powerful. When everyone grows up, whoever is his enemy will be in trouble.]
The scholar heard the hidden meaning in Qin Jinlin's words and his face became even more angry.
"Third Prince, you are young, so we won't bother with you. But with such reforms to the Spring Examination, aren't you afraid that it will chill the hearts of scholars like us?"
Qin Yuanhao lifted the curtain and walked onto the stage.
"You mean, you're not planning on taking part in next year's Spring Examination?"
When the scholars saw the emperor coming out in person, their faces changed and their eyes were filled with confusion.
"Your Majesty, if you do not abolish this Great Qin law, I'm afraid we won't have any need to participate in next year's Spring Examination."
A scholar standing right below Qin Yuanhao shouted out loudly, but his mouth was instantly covered by his companion next to him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I've been studying for so many years just to take the imperial examination. You said you won't take the exam if you don't change, so don't drag us down with you!"
"That's right, we still have to participate in the Spring Examination next year."
"Stop him talking, His Majesty is looking here."
Qin Yuanhao did look at that person, and he nodded slightly and said:
"But since so many scholars have come, it's better to do it today than to wait."
"Today, we will arrange an examination for all the ministers."
