Chapter 151

The incense table was prepared, and four people knocked on the ground one by one and completed the ceremony.

However, Li Jian is the oldest and becomes the eldest brother, Liu Mo, Wei Huo Laosan, and Yan San'er is the youngest.

After becoming sworn brothers, Li Jian immediately asked the waiter to change the mat, and the four brothers ordered a few more side dishes, and they were so happy to drink and chat.

It was not until the end of the day that Li Jian and Wei Huo stood up to say goodbye. During this period, Li Jian reminded Liu Mowu to prepare for the imperial examination well. If he could go to high school, he would definitely be a good official.

Although it was the first time that the brothers met, they were in love and had a certain style of a celebrity.

After saying goodbye to the two sworn brothers who had just become sworn brothers, Li Jian and Wei Huo immediately rushed to Xianyang Palace. Today, the emperor summoned the ministers in the court in Wuxin Hall and specially gave the two young generals who had returned from outside a qualification to stand in the hall to listen to the affairs.

"What are you talking about today? Have you heard of it?" Wei Huo and Li Jian knocked on the ground with one head, feeling much closer.

Li Jian pursed his lips and said, "I heard that it was the matter of this scientific examination."

"The emperor is interesting to let us two generals listen to the scientific expedition," Wei Huo smiled and said with a grin.

Li Jianheng glanced at him and whispered: "Our emperor has good methods. Third brother, be careful when speaking. It's just this matter. If you don't ask me, I will tell you that after today's political discussion, the emperor will summon us alone and may go to war with Zhao State. Please be careful."

Wei Huo stuck out his tongue. He is now known as Wang Ben's two pioneers, along with Li Jian. However, Wei Huo knew that he was young, had little experience, and had poor family background. Many disciples from aristocratic families looked down on him. Fortunately, this brother Li Jian, who was known as him, treated him very well.

He trusts Li Jian very much. Now the two kowtow to join forces, and they don’t know each other.

Although he had a drink with Liu Mo and Yan Saner, Li Jian and Wei Huo still arrived outside the Wuxin Hall in advance. The guards on duty said that the other ministers had not arrived yet.

Li Jian quietly took Wei Huo around the Wuxin Hall and came to a side hall where the guards rested.

When he opened the hall gate, he walked towards him. It was Chen Jia.

Li Jian and Chen Jia are already acquaintances, and their personal relationships are pretty good. When they met the old acquaintance, he was not polite and stepped forward and patted Chen Jia on the shoulder and said, "I heard that the emperor asked you to talk to Han about secret affairs, but I didn't expect that you would even let you take care of the guards. Old Chen, you have a great favor."

Chen Jia had a smile on his face. It was not an easy task to talk to Han about investigating the tomb organization. He had to deal with various forces and academic schools in the world. In less than half a year, Chen Jia had lost his former silence.

He sniffed Li Jian's body, punched Li Jian hard in the chest, and cursed with a smile: "I'm not so sad after becoming a general. I don't know that I want to go to the palace to listen to the affairs, and I dare to be greedy for alcohol."

As he said that, Chen Jia turned his head and shouted, "Take two bowls of Ge Tang, let me hang up with my brother." He didn't know Wei Huo, but heard that the two vanguards who came back with Li Jian this time were Wang Ben's command, so he immediately prepared Ge Tang for Wei Huo.

Ge Tang is a soup made from a mixture of pueraria root and pueraria vine flowers, which is the most suitable for quenching wine. These guards are all warriors who like to drink alcohol on weekdays, and sometimes they are on duty. If the emperor smells alcohol, they will be beaten hard at the mildest, and die at the severe worst. Therefore, since the time of the First Emperor, these guards asked the doctors in the Imperial Medical Center to write this recipe for quenching wine and stayed at the guards' place.

Ge Tang has now become a must-have sausage soup for the guards.

Li Jian did not make trouble with Chen Jia, but pulled Wei Huo behind him and introduced him to Chen Jia.

Wei Huo was very smart and good at socializing. Chen Jia followed Han Talk and had already practiced talking to people and talking to ghosts. Naturally, several people had a great time talking to each other.

After a while, a guard was on duty. As soon as he entered the room, he greeted the three of them and said, "The Wuxin Palace has opened, and the ministers have entered one after another."

Although Li Jian and Wei Huo did not have enough to talk to Chen Jia, they had to hold their fists and say goodbye.

When he arrived at the Wuxin Hall, Li Jian naturally thought of the origin of the name of the hall and couldn't help but feel a little sad. Wei Huo survived this story and said nothing. He just bowed his fists at the stone statue of Li Xin in front of the Wuxin Hall, bowed silently for a while, and then he started to follow Li Jian into the Wuxin Hall.

The huge Wuxin Hall has now become an important hall for Hu Hai to summon ministers to discuss state affairs, and it is also the place where several ministers of the Counselor's Office work.

Looking at the ministers who came in to bow one after another, Hu Hai sighed silently. When Zhao Gao was in power in the court and the country, no of these ministers did not act according to Zhao Gao's expression. Now he is treating himself like this, how many people are sincere? I am afraid that most of them are for the official hats on their heads and the wealth of the treasury.

Shaking his head, Hu Hai eliminated the distracting thoughts in his mind. Today's court discussion is a trivial matter, and the most important thing in the scientific examination is the choice of examiners. An examiner with high moral character and knowledge is the key to selecting materials.

Soon, Hu Hai saw two young generals dressed up in the face of the crowd. A smile appeared on his lips. The two of them were very popular in the competition and fought hard. Judging from their current appearance, they turned out to be a pair of good friends.

"I don't know what's wrong today, but I'm talking nonsense in my mind." Hu Hai shook his head.

Soon all the ministers arrived, Prime Minister Li Si took a step and bowed to Hu Hai and said, "The emperor's minister and the great sages of the emperor had just discussed the scientific examination with their colleagues in the outer hall. Everyone believed that the emperor had never come before and had never come after him, and the method of selecting materials he thought was unique and effective."

Li Si was actually telling a lie. Just now, when he and Meng Tian were discussing political affairs with these ministers in the outer hall, almost all the ministers from aristocratic families expressed opposition. Even the most powerful Wang family silently expressed their support for the opposition of those aristocratic families.

In the end, Meng Tian took out the decisiveness of the Grand Sima and suppressed the opposition. But all the aristocratic families believed that the second emperor's imperial examination was only once, and it was an emergency response during the war. If they knew that the emperor's imperial examination would be once every three years, they would probably be in a mess immediately.

The scientific examination is the cake that the aristocratic families value most. If everything is promoted by exams, those Qianshou who have been trampled under their feet may turn over if they know two words. This situation is something that these big families do not want to see.

After Li Si said this, Meng Tian also took a step forward, coughed a few times before saying, "The emperor tried this scientific research strategy, which is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. If anyone dares to object, it will be a serious crime to destroy the nine clans."

As soon as he said this, Hu Hai slapped his hands and smiled, "What Meng Tian said is very true. Just do what you said."

Several people from the aristocratic families who were not convinced but were urging behind the scenes of the Wang family to raise objections in court immediately bit their lips. After all, the second emperor once killed people without blinking. If they really caused a big disaster to the family because of one sentence, it would be more than worth the loss.

Several ministers from major families looked at each other a few times and chose to shut up.

Wang Ce, the inner historian who had been secretly urging them to oppose the scientific examination, was different from others at this time. He took a step forward, his thin square face full of earnestness.

Some officials from aristocratic families were immediately impressed by the people of the Wang family. Unexpectedly, after Meng Tian said such heavy words, the only person who dared to stand up and oppose was the Wang family.

For example, the Meng family, Sima family, Gan family and other noble ministers of the Qin Dynasty were secretly admired, and the Wang family was worthy of being the largest family in the Qin Dynasty, with background and courage.
