Magnificent sounds echoed in the hall and spread into the distance.

Many students who had been waiting outside the hall early were already ready at this time.

Led by Xiao He and Han Xin, many students began to move forward.

Just entering the main hall, the solemn atmosphere that greeted them made many students feel their hearts trembled.

Xiao He raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng sitting on the high platform.

Is this the First Emperor?

But what was different from him was Han Xin. Han Xin looked at the ministers around him.

The ministers and the solemn Gonggun princes standing under the main hall made Han Xin feel trembling from the inside out.

"Students, please pay homage——"

Chen Ke's voice sounded, giving a reminder to the many students standing in the audience.

Under the leadership of Xiao He, many students bowed down to pay homage.

"Minds and ministers, please see your majesty. Your majesty will last for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty will last for ten thousand years——"

The winding and majestic slogan sounded.

When they enter the top sixty-five in the essay contest, they are no longer ordinary people.

But a minister.

Minister of the Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng's voice sounded at the right time: "My dear friends, please forgive me and stay in peace."

All the students stood up, and then Chen Ke took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, many students have arrived, and I would like to invite the literary competition to begin."

"I hope your Majesty will approve it."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Yes."

Chen Ke turned around and looked at the many students.

Such complicated etiquette did not make them feel complicated and boring, but made them even more excited.

What is etiquette?

The more complicated and boring the rituals are, the more it shows that the court attaches great importance to them!

Chen Ke stood in front of everyone and straightened his back.

"Students, the literary competition has now entered the second round of examinations."

"There are many people who know how to govern, but few who know how to general."

"This essay competition will be held in separate groups. Regardless of politics or military, we will all be in groups of five. Your Majesty will propose the topic, and then each will give his or her speech and rebuttal."

"The one who reaches the final moment in politics and military affairs can be the best in this selection."

"Do you understand?"

Xiao He and others looked respectful. These examination rules had been told to them long ago.

"I understand."

Chen Ke turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please come up with a question."

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and then said: "First of all, the Xiongnu troops are now across the northern border, and the Baiyue troops are in the south."

"The Qin Dynasty has just unified, how should we deal with it now?"

He looked at the many students standing below with an encouraging smile on his face.

"As a politician, you can speak on political affairs; as a general, you can speak on general matters."

On the side, Zhao Gao repeated Ying Zheng's words, and the person standing below naturally repeated Zhao Gao's words.

Xiao He and others were shocked when they heard this question.

Could it be that the First Emperor wanted to launch troops against the Xiongnu and Baiyue?

This is not impossible...

However, now that the Qin Dynasty has just unified, it is probably not a good time to mobilize troops at this time...

Chen Ke also paused.

If he remembers correctly, it was the 28th to 29th year of the First Emperor.

That is to say, from this year to next year, Da Qin will launch troops against Baiyue.

The results of this military campaign were very tragic. Even General Wang Jian, a pillar of the Qin Dynasty, died of illness during this battle.

Thinking of this, Chen Ke glanced at Wang Jian subconsciously.

Wang Jian is a good old man. How can we keep him?

This idea only flashed through his mind for a moment, and then he watched many students repeat the questions loudly.

"Please give your own defense."

As soon as he finished speaking, the groups that had been divided into groups consciously began to explain their opinions according to their ranking.

At this time, Ying Zheng, who was sitting at the top, had a slight smile on his face.

He looked at the many students standing below and said something to Fusu next to him with emotion.

"Fusu, look, these are all talented people in the world."

Fusu also smiled and said: "This is all the result of my father."

"If there is no father to stabilize the world, what can these talented people do even if they have great talents?"

Fusu looked calmly at the students who were arguing fiercely.

At this time, he had already understood his father's achievements, and his views in his heart were slowly changing.

"Father, who do you think will win in these rounds?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.

He discovered the changes in his son very keenly.

This change made him very happy.

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and then said: "Actually, you can see the difference between these people in the first round."

"Those who are responsible for the way of government should be led by Xiao He, Cao Shen, Chen Ping, Zeng Lu, Shi Xuanni and Meng Qiu."

Ying Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "These people have a little bit of Confucianism in them."

But he didn't care.

"But they are indeed talents."

Fusu followed Ying Zheng's words and looked at them one by one.

These people are indeed the most confident. They stand there, not in a hurry, but they say what their opponents say makes them blush.

"hehe"

Ying Zheng sneered: "However, among this group of people, there are no other families, especially people from the Mo family?"

"This makes me curious."

He glanced at Chen Ke, who was standing below, as steady as a mountain and motionless.

At this time, Chen Ke lowered his head and closed his eyes as if he was resting his mind.

Ying Zheng nodded and Chen Ke said, "Fusu, do you think, why doesn't your teacher let people from the Mo family come?"

Fusu was stunned for a moment, then said: "Father, is the teacher a giant of the Mohist family?"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and shook his head slightly.

"It is, but it is not."

There was a hint of mystery in his words: "The status of Zuo Zuo in the Mo family should not be lower than that of Zeng Lu and others."

"Otherwise, how could you get so many things from the Mo family?"

"Whether it is paper or block printing, it is extremely rare even among Mohists."

"Otherwise, the Mo family would have used these things to negotiate terms with me."

Fusu was shocked again.

"Are those divine objects from the Mohist family?"

Ying Zheng looked at the startled Fusu with inexplicable disgust on his face.

"What are you pretending to be?"

"I don't believe it. You don't have any guesses?"
