Emperor Yuan of Jin tried to smooth things over: "Alright, stop arguing. Let's follow Minister Diao's advice and give this imperial examination system a try."
Sui Dynasty
Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Guang, laughed heartily: "Hahaha...it seems that the imperial examination system I created has been recognized by future generations!"
The ministers praised him in unison: "Your Majesty has worked diligently to govern the country and has made extraordinary achievements. Your reputation will surely live on for centuries and be remembered for eternity!"
Zuo Pushe Gao Jiong said: "Your Majesty, this system of three provinces and six ministries seems to be more complete and simpler than our dynasty's system of five provinces and six departments."
Emperor Wen of Sui: "Oh? Then let's reform it. I believe this is a blessing bestowed by Heaven upon our Great Sui Dynasty."
Qin
At this moment, Qin Shihuang's majestic phoenix eyes were shining brightly.
"With Confucianism at the core and Legalism at the core, and the three-province and six-department system and the imperial examination system as the political framework...isn't this exactly how I want to govern the country?"
The reactions of the others present varied.
Chunyu Yue was very excited: Is Your Majesty going to make use of the Confucians?

So he plucked up his courage and stepped forward again to persuade him.
"Father, since Heaven has issued a warning, our Great Qin should also reduce corvée labor and penalties to appease the people of the world!"
Hearing such naive remarks from his eldest son, Qin Shi Huang, who was still deep in thought, almost couldn't breathe.
This idiot.
He doesn't win over the people's hearts, is it because he doesn't want to?!
He doesn't need to use his stupid brain to think about it. How can there be reform without a political and economic foundation?
Just by his mouth?
They are not like the Qin Dynasty in the sky, which has the help of goddesses, and can easily use the sweet potatoes with an output of ten thousand kilograms per mu and the cotton for keeping warm as dowry.
The more he thought about it, the more bitter he became. Qin Shi Huang reprimanded him with a dark face: "Think more, read more, learn more, don't just talk about it!"
After being beaten, Fusu shut his mouth in grievance.
Has my father reached what people in later generations call "menopause"?
