[Qin] My father's name is Bai Qi

The conversation was divided into two parts. When the noble relatives with foreign surnames and the distant clan were idling around to watch the excitement, Ying Zheng and other clan children who were preparing to compete came together in front of the three examiners.

This time, there were 15 people including Ying Zheng himself, and according to the arrangement of those who cared, these 15 people turned out to be the great-grandsons of King Zhaoxiang. The next candidate for the next throne.

Ying Zheng raised his head again and looked at the big case above. There were three people sitting on the big case.One is Prince Fu Cheng, who is in charge of teaching the prince and the children of the royal family; the other is the big sacrificial wine that rarely appears in Zongxue. The head of the school is called "Jijiu", which means that the head of Zongxue is called Jijiu; as for Ying Zheng, he doesn't know this person's appearance, but from the other party's every move, he vaguely guesses that this person should be a A servant, and a castrated servant.

"Today's exam is all about what the young grandsons of the exam school have learned in Zongxue, so don't be too nervous." Da Jijiu stroked his beard, looked at the fifteen young grandsons standing below, and said with a smile : "Young grandsons, please sit down."

Ying Zheng and other 15 people sat down on the 15 cushions that had been prepared below one by one. The [-]-year-old boys were all outstanding in appearance and demeanor, which made people feel happy at first sight.

The three examiners exchanged glances with each other, and each nodded with a smile. Prince Fu Cheng took the lead and said: "Today's test does not require a written test, but an oral test is acceptable. You young grandsons, don't panic. If you know the answer, you only need to report your name. Just answer. If someone else answers first and answers wrongly or inaccurately, the little grandsons can also give supplementary answers. Do you understand, little grandsons?"

"Understood." All the grandsons responded in unison.

Crown Prince Fu Cheng asked: "Dare to ask all the grandsons, how can our great Qin establish a country?"

"Using the law! My Great Qin established the country by the law!" Gongsun Shu replied in a loud voice.

"Then... what is the true meaning of the law?"

"There is no high or low law, no grades in punishment, and demotion is open." Ying Zheng replied almost without thinking.

Seeing Gongsun Shu and Ying Zheng each answering a question, an unknown little Gongsun frowned and said, "It's not fair, these are not the knowledge learned in Zongxue books."

"Why is it unfair?" Da Jijiu said: "The knowledge learned in Zongxue has already been tested in the year-old exam. If you want to test the knowledge learned in Zongxue, how come today's exam. It is just a test of your understanding of Zongxue. It’s just knowledge about the state, as a Qin person, how can you not even know the most simple outline of the state?”

Dajijiu is from the royal family with the surname Ying. Although he is not a high-ranking and powerful person, he has been cultivating students for many years. He is full of peaches and plums in the Qin Kingdom, and he is considered to be highly respected. He is naturally angry when faced with complaints from the unknown little grandson.

Seeing that Dajijiu was angry, no little Gongsun dared to complain anymore, and the school examination continued.

"What is governed by a country?"

"There are three reasons why a country is governed. The first is law, the second is trust, and the third is power. The law is governed by the monarch and his ministers; the trustworthy is established by the monarch and his ministers; the power is controlled by the monarch." The expert kid Yingzheng succeeded in answering again without giving anyone a chance.

"In the Qin law, what is the minimum age standard for prisoners?"

"Six feet."

Ying Zheng was very impressed with this answer, because when he happily told Bai Zhong that he had grown two inches recently and reached six feet tall, that little bastard Bai Zhong actually replied to him, "Congratulations!" You've reached the height of being criminally responsible and needing to serve time."

"If someone escapes the corvee, what should I do? What should I do if I am three or five days late? What should I do if I am six days late? What should I do if I am fifteen days late? What if I miss the deadline due to rain?"

"Imperial conquests are exhausted, and you can earn two armors. If you miss three to five days, you will lose one; six days to ten days, you will earn one shield; after ten days, you will earn one armor. What you get (also), and attainment. Water and rain , except Xing."

According to the law of Qin, one dong is 1344 qian, 2688 qian, and one dong is 284 qian.

The translation of this sentence means, "If you don't go to corvee, you will be fined 2688 yuan. If you are three to five days late, you will be scolded; if you are six days late, you will be fined 384 yuan; if you are late for 1344 days, you will be fined [-] yuan. If the rain delays the trip, forget it, and there will be no fine.”

Therefore, people must learn to use the weapon of law to protect themselves, otherwise they can only be like the group of illiterates in Daze Township, thinking that they will be beheaded if they fail to serve the corvee due to the heavy rain, so being fooled by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang will become a stepping stone for others to succeed stone.

Ying Zheng and Crown Prince Fu Cheng asked and answered, and the answers got faster and faster, and Ying Zheng answered without any mistakes, without giving anyone any chance to intervene.

Gongsun Shu, who only got one question in total, looked at the satisfied smiling faces of the three examiners on the big case, and then at Ying Zheng's calm and elegant smile, a surge of anger rushed into his heart, and suddenly he yelled: "Gongsun Zheng! , you are so brave, you dare to cheat!"

The conversation with Ying Zheng was interrupted by Gongsun Shu suddenly, Prince Fu Cheng said a little unhappy: "Gongsun Shu, what proof do you have for accusing Gongsun Zheng of cheating?"

Gongsun Shu didn't know how to say such words when his mind became hot. Although he felt a little regretful and afraid, but the matter had come to this point, he could only bite the bullet and continue, "There is no evidence, but there is a theory."

"What kind of statement is it, tell me." Prince Fu Cheng glanced at Ying Zheng who was accused of cheating, but still sitting there gracefully.

According to Prince Fu Cheng's understanding, this child was born in Zhao State, and became a hostage in Zhao State when he grew up.But looking at his decent response, perfect appearance, and the same dress and demeanor as other sons and grandsons who were born and raised in Xianyang, Prince Fu Cheng felt that this child was an authentic child born in Xianyang. There is no such thing as living in Handan and suffering.

"Gongsun Zheng has only been back to China for two months, and he doesn't even know a few big characters. Today's year-old exam paper has a lot of questions left blank. After all, he is an ignorant person. , How could you know so many things overnight?" Gongsun Shu turned his head to look at Ying Zheng, and still didn't say something like "being possessed by a monster", "Although I don't know how Gongsun Zheng cheated , but if it wasn’t cheating, how could it explain his sudden change?”

Gongsun Shu's words made everyone in the Zongxue who knew Yingzheng's cultural level nod their heads, and even the grand sacrificial wine ordered someone to bring the exam papers for Yingzheng's New Year's Examination, and there were indeed a large number of blanks in it.

"Gongsun Zheng, why didn't you answer the question?" Da Jijiu asked Ying Zheng holding the test paper.

"It's been a short time since Zheng returned to the country, and he hasn't fully understood the characters of Qin, so he can't answer." Ying Zheng explained calmly.

"You don't know the language of Qin State? So what about you today..." Da Jijiu thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any words to describe it. Ying Zheng answered at the same speed as Kai Hang today.

"Although Zheng doesn't know the characters of Qin State, he knows the characters of Zhao State. He also read books in Zhao State for a few days in the past." Ying Zheng explained again.

The implication is that as a banana person, although I am not good at learning my mother tongue, I still have good cultural knowledge. Don't treat me as illiterate.

"You are talking nonsense!" Seeing that Ying Zheng rounded up his words, Gongsun Shu said again unconvinced: "If you are in Zhao State, how can you have the opportunity to learn the laws of my Great Qin and the "Book of Shang Jun"?"

Although Gongsun Shu's attitude made people unhappy, what he said made the three examiners on the case nod again.

The law of Qin is still good, but it is the official documents of the various prefectures of the Great Qin that are widely distributed, and ordinary people have the opportunity to learn it.Because in Daqin, if you want to become an official but have no power, the only way is to take the annual civil service exam, and the content of the exam is Qin Law.

Wanting to be an official and studying law is definitely not empty talk in Daqin.

As for the "Shang Junshu", it is a national important book. It is usually hidden in the library of Xianyang Palace. Except for the children of the clan and high-ranking officials, ordinary people can't see it at all. Ying Zheng was born in Zhao State and lived in Zhao State. Why? Can I see you?The most important thing is that the entire "Book of Shang Jun" is written in Qin language, how can Ying Zheng, who can't even answer the test paper, understand the content of "Book of Shang Jun".

"Since Zheng returned to the country, he realized that every prince and grandson must study the "Book of Shang Jun" every day, so as not to forget the foundation of the country, so he ordered people to find the "Book of Shang Jun", and let the literate servants serve as the government every day. Learn to chant." Ying Zheng gave a perfect answer again.

"Oh? Studying every day? Little Gongsun has only returned to the country for two months, so I don't know how he has learned?" The person who spoke was not the prince Fu Cheng, nor the grand priest, but was sitting by the side all the time, and the old god was standing next to the cos statue. servant.

"Although I have memorized it backwards, I don't understand its meaning in many places." Ying Zheng sighed with regret, "The meaning of "Shang Junshu" is simple and ancient, and it involves many classics, which can be read and understood by non-boys, so I have to read it." Memorize it by heart. Fortunately, in this school exam, you only need to answer and don't need to explain, otherwise the kid will lose face."

Yingzheng's words of being good-looking when he got cheap made the friends next to him feel "hehe" in their hearts. "Book of Shang Jun" has 10,000+ words and you can memorize it as soon as you say it. Fortunately, this time the exam is all about dead content, completely following the objective questions in the book, there are no subjective questions or composition questions, otherwise people's grades may be bad.

There is a saying, the one who said he didn't read the book before the exam, and said he didn't take the exam after the exam, is definitely either a scumbag or a top student.

"Recite it backwards? The tone is not small, and you can recite the chapter of "Weak People" again." Da Jijiu said to Ying Zheng.

"The people are weak and the country is strong, and the country is strong and the people are weak. Therefore, the right state affairs lie in the weak people. Simple makes them strong, and prostitution makes them weak. Weakness leads to rules, and prostitution makes them more ambitious...Government does what the people hate, and the people are weak; The joy of the people is the strength of the people... Invincible in battle, weak in defense, this is the birth of helplessness, and those who explain the balance and take care of the weight." An article "Weak People" is not long, in fact, it is only a thousand words, but it won Zheng recited very fluently, without even a slight hesitation, but it made the three of them believe that Ying Zheng really did what he said, and recited the "Book of Shang Jun".

"Not bad! You really are a good boy!" Da Jijiu stroked his beard in satisfaction, glanced at Gongsun Shu, who was still furious, and said, "Life is alive, and you must learn from it. Don't follow the path of a villain. You must always restrain your jealousy, so as not to get angry and lose your nature. Do you understand, little Gongsun?"

Although Gongsun Shu was unwilling, he could only agree with the others, "Understood."

After this little disturbance, the school examinations continued to be carried out in an orderly manner. Although Ying Zheng was still the most outstanding one, as he said, he had only returned to Qin State for a short time, and he didn't know much about the situation in Qin State. "Book of Shang Jun" was just memorized.Therefore, it would be fine if the questions were only objective questions, but if it was a subjective analysis composition question, or a question about the folk customs and social customs of various parts of Qin State, he would not be able to answer them at all.

But even so, Ying Zheng, who didn't know the characters of Qin State, but could recite "Qin Law" and "Shang Junshu" backwards, left a very deep impression on the hearts of the three examiners and the Zongxue students who were watching. .

From then on, no one dared to ridicule Ying Zheng as an ignorant idiot.
