"Someone, get the chairs ready."
"Do you see those officials behind?"
"Why are we asking them to take the exam next year? It's just to give them another chance."
"Now that the laws of the Great Qin have been promulgated, they will only be adjusted based on the needs of the people. The reason why we reformed the imperial examination system is to recruit more talents."
"Qinhan Academy has started a sprint class for the imperial examination. If you are interested, I suggest you join. There you may be able to find the real reason for participating in the Spring Examination."
Qin Yuanhao's words stunned everyone present.
Especially the officials who thought His Majesty would compromise were all dumbfounded.
How did it become their exam?
Qin Yuanhao turned around and looked at the officials.
"My dear ministers, after reviewing for so long, it's time to show your true abilities."
Qin Yuanhao saw the astonishment in the eyes of all the officials, including Prime Minister Jin.
He looked at Zhou Mian and saw a pile of papers behind him.
I suddenly felt in a good mood.
It was worth it that he stayed up for several nights with those guys from the Hanlin Academy just for today.
Fortunately, he had cleaned out those guys in the Hanlin Academy, so no news was leaked.
He did not expect the appearance of these scholars today, but he had originally planned to use today's exam to let everyone know what kind of officials Daqin really needed.
"Your Majesty, isn't it inappropriate to test people in public?" The Minister of Rites, who rarely spoke up, stood up.
"Then let's take the exam inside the sect, which will also give the ministers some face."
He had investigated the Minister of Rites and found out that he was the central figure, so he still had to take care of him.
Sure enough, the Minister of Rites stopped talking, waved his sleeves and stood back in the crowd.
Many officials looked at him sideways, as they thought the Minister of Rites was advising His Majesty not to take the exam.
The result is that the position was changed?
[The Minister of Rites, a veteran of two dynasties, even Prime Minister Jin would show some courtesy to him. He just wanted to step aside and not get involved in the mess.]
[It seems that this Minister of Rites is somewhat disappointed with the Qin imperial family!]
This Minister of Rites is a hidden talent. He manages the Ministry of Rites in an orderly manner, and has never had any infiltration from the Sang people. This is truly admirable.
Qin Yuanhao's mind moved. If that was the case, he couldn't let the old man retire so early and go home to farm.
After a while, Zhou Mian walked up to Emperor Qin Yuanhao and said, "Your Majesty, everything is ready."
"In that case, go ahead!"
All the officials then walked towards their seats with sad faces.
The scholars outside stopped talking at this moment. They also wanted to know what the evaluation of officials was about.
How will these officials answer?
The assessment time ended only when the sun reached its highest point. Many officials hung their heads and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
The scholar from the Hanlin Academy and a group of officials began to review the papers.
Qin Yuanhao sat on a chair and looked over the papers he had examined one by one.
Everyone around held their breath, not daring to breathe heavily, for fear of angering the emperor above.
Until Qin Yuanhao came holding a test paper and frowned.
"Qi Siyue, how did you get this position? I have serious doubts now!"
Qi Siyue knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
"Forget it, just post this content outside."
Qi Siyue felt like he was about to die, and immediately collapsed to the ground.
When the scholars outside saw the test papers posted, they all gathered around.
This official actually only has one "Ding".
"What should we do if we discover a disaster during our inspection?"
"He actually chose the wrong of the three options above."
"Report to the relevant personnel, report to the higher-ups, and wait for the relevant personnel to notice."
"This person actually chose to wait for relevant personnel to realize it. Doesn't he know that disasters cannot be delayed?"
"Even if I'm not an official, I know I should report it to the relevant personnel in a timely manner!"
"And this, what if the seal is lost?"
"This is a text question that requires you to answer it yourself, and this person actually said to just ask someone to carve it again?"
"Doesn't he know that officials' seals all have unique stamps? If they aren't registered promptly and misused by lawless individuals, who will be harmed?"
"The higher-ups choose the ministers' annual vacation time, and this guy picked a hundred days. Is he crazy?"
"How did such a person become an official? And when asked about his contributions to the court and the people, he actually wrote nothing."
The scholars' voices were neither loud nor soft. Qi Siyue, who had fallen to the ground, felt ashamed to face people and wanted to beg for mercy immediately.
At this time, Zhou Mian took out a memorial and read it to him.
"The biggest imperial examination substitution case in the Qin Dynasty was when Qi Siyue replaced a scholar named Qi Ansi and became the new Ministry of Revenue doctor."
Qi Siyue suddenly looked up at Eunuch Zhou.
this?
How is that possible?
Your Majesty, how did they know that person's name and were able to accurately say it? This name has been rooted in his heart for several years.
I never thought that it would be mentioned one day.
Qin Yuanhao saw his appearance and shook his head. "Looking at your appearance, let the Imperial Guards take you away!"
This person has an IQ of only 35. All he does every day is brag about visiting brothels. No wonder he doesn't know how to work hard even though he's in this position.
【After all these years, it’s still useless! 】
The scholars then realized that Emperor Qin Yuanhao was actually taking this opportunity to purge the court.
Many scholars, due to their previous lack of understanding, now had an indescribable feeling.
They seemed to have done something wrong, and the emperor really wanted to recruit officials to help the people of Daqin.
The questions above are basically about handling people's affairs. As long as you work hard, you will be able to answer them correctly.
But looking at the posted test questions, it seems that half of them are included.
That is to say, there are problems with this small half.
The scholars were suddenly terrified.
If it weren't for the emperor's thorough investigation this time, even if they passed the exam, they would have been silenced and allowed others to take their places.
The examination took a long time, but Qin Yuanhao dealt with these officials quickly and decisively.
When everything was settled, only two-thirds of the officials remained.
Qin Yuanhao took a special look at the test questions for the Minister of Rites and stayed on the contribution part for a long time.
The Minister of Rites listed all his contributions since he took office on it.
One can tell at a glance that the other party is truly working for Daqin.
When the Minister of Revenue was away, he took the initiative to take over his duties and led the officials to open the granaries and donate grain.
Qin Yuanhao was aware of this matter, and this Lord Shangshu even paid out of his own pocket and added all the grain produced by the farm.
He even took in many refugees to work in his home instead of selling their bodies. Ordinary officials could not do what he did, but there are only a few records of this.
"In the thirteenth year of Yuanhu, I was ordered to open the warehouse."
"Go post the Minister of Rites' examination paper and let the people see what kind of person can become an official."
