Chapter 453 Fusu: Fourth brother, you are really too... (Monday tears begging for recommendation votes and rewards!)
Wow!
Haiyue Cottage was originally located in Sanghai City, near the sea. On every moonlit night, you can see a bright moon rising from behind the two-story building, creating a dreamlike scene of the sea and sky blending into one. In order to do business with Baijiaxue, the owner of Haiyue Cottage abandoned his old nest where he had run the business for many years and moved to Linzi City.
Linzi is not near the sea, which makes the name of Haiyue Xiaozhu somewhat unworthy of its name. In order to avoid damaging the reputation, the owner spared no expense to dig an artificial river around the newly rebuilt pavilion, and led the river around the pavilion, making it a quiet and elegant pavilion surrounded by endless water, and with wisps of mist rising from the water, it adds a sense of ethereality.
Second floor, private room.
As the host, Tianxuan shook off the pink arms and legs that were wrapped around him and came to Haiyue Cottage early in the morning.
The guests they were waiting for had not arrived yet. Tianxuan closed his eyes slightly, sitting in the private room with a leisurely look, crossing his legs without any manners, as if he had fallen into a dream. Behind Tianxuan, Xiaoyu was wearing a pink skirt, with a snow-white ribbon tied around her waist. Her three thousand soft and shiny black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, showing her beauty.
A ray of eyes fell on the handsome face of his master, filled with endless complex emotions.
tread!tread!tread!
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard from the empty corridor, moving towards the private room where Tianxuan and Xiaoyu were staying.
"Is it finally here?"
Tianxuan has entered the late stage of Huiyang Realm, and has discovered the existence of the power of faith. His spiritual perception is very sharp, which is rare in the world. Hearing the footsteps coming from the outside world, he can clearly judge the realm of the person's skill. With a light word, Tianxuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and uttered five meaningful words.
As he spoke, Tianxuan suddenly appeared at the door and opened the half-closed door.
"Big brother!"
"Fourth brother!"
When Tianxuan opened the door, Fusu, who was tall, handsome, and resolute in appearance, wearing a snow-white brocade robe, just arrived at the door. The two brothers looked at each other, and saw the sigh and alienation in each other's eyes, and called out at the same time.
"Brother, please come in."
After silently looking at Fusu for a moment, Tianxuan retracted his gaze and welcomed Fusu in.
"You guys stay here."
Tianxuan was skilled in martial arts and bold, and he usually brought a few guards with him when he went out, and he had also gone out alone before. On the contrary, Fusu's martial arts were mediocre, and at best he could only deal with a few big men. Naturally, Fusu did not come alone this time, and brought seven or eight strong men with bulging temples as guards.
When entering the room, Fusu casually ordered the guards to stay outside.
"Big brother."
After the two brothers returned to the room and took their seats, Tianxuan stared at his elder brother three feet away and spoke directly to the point.
"I have an idea about the Jixia Academy. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Fourth brother, what are your thoughts? Tell me." Hearing Tianxuan's words, Fusu frowned slightly and asked with interest.
"In the past three years, as the empire unified the world, it urgently needed a large number of talents to assist the empire in governing the world. Therefore, the empire recruited all the talents recommended by the Jixia Academy. They were placed in different positions according to their schools of origin. The talents selected in this way are inevitably mixed." "After the position of Jijiu is changed, all talents who come out of the academy must take exams, and the examination venue is closed. In this way, the best talents can be selected to prevent those who are unqualified from becoming officials and harming the people!"
"The military strategists were tested on their martial arts and military tactics; the Gongshu School and the Mohist School asked them to make a certain mechanism within a certain period of time; the famous scholars gave them a topic and had them debate, etc. The disciples of the Confucianists, the Miscellaneous School, the Taoists, and the Legalists were tested on current affairs, which meant giving them a problem to solve. Then the empire organized people to copy the test papers and send them to the imperial court for review."
Tianxuan told Fusu all his thoughts.
"this?"
Fusu had been in the Jixia Academy for half a month, so it was impossible for him to be completely ignorant of the situation in the academy. Although it was just a clue, Fusu could still see that people who came out of the Jixia Academy were basically reserved by the empire and would definitely be able to wear official uniforms. Some people had either bribed the masters of the academy or directly used money to open up connections...
If things continued like this, the Jixia Academy, which was established to train officials for the empire, would indeed have a mixed bag of good and bad people, with people who were just filling in the gaps to fill the numbers.
After listening to Tianxuan's point of view, Fusu's lips moved and his face looked thoughtful.
Tianxuan noticed Fusu's expression and said, "Brother, do you want to object? You should be able to see that if such a measure is implemented, it will be of great benefit to the empire."
Fusu came back to his senses, smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Fourth brother, in your eyes, do you think that I am such an ignorant person? The reason why I am thinking about this is that I think you put the status of Miscellaneous School above the School of Names, Gongshu School, and the School of Diplomacy. It is too... too bold."
In the end, Fusu considered it over and over again before making a discontinuous evaluation.
The eclectic school is known for its extensive collection of ideas from various schools of thought. Its characteristics are "combining Confucianism and Mohism, and combining Nominalism and Legalism", and "being well versed in all the teachings of the hundred schools of thought".
Originally, such a school of thought should have become a prominent school among all schools of thought. Unfortunately, the Miscellaneous School has only one representative figure so far, and that is the late Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty - Lü Buwei!
"Fourth brother," Fusu said earnestly, "I know that Prime Minister Lu indirectly saved your life, but you should know that Prime Minister Lu is a thorn in the heart of the emperor. Once this memorial is submitted, it is very likely to make the emperor furious!"
Tian Xuan said in a carefree manner: "Brother, you are really worrying too much. It is true that father hates Prime Minister Lu, but father knows what is important and what is not. Now that the Qin Dynasty has unified the world, father can only show a broad mind that can accommodate all rivers and a broad mind that can make talents from all over the world come to him."
"Furthermore, if Father still hated Prime Minister Lu and even hated anything related to Prime Minister Lu, then when casting the twelve golden men, Father would not have deliberately made one of the golden men look like Prime Minister Lu."
Twelve golden men!
Yan Jun Chu Li Ji, Shang Jun Wei Yang, Sima Cuo, Bai Qi, Lu Buwei, Zhang Yi, Fan Ju, Wang Jian, Wang Wan, Wei Liao, Wang Ben, plus the unrivaled Jun Tian Xuanzi!
When the twelve golden men were being made, neither Tianxuan nor Zhengge knew their relationship with each other. After Tianxuan's life story was revealed, although everyone admitted that his achievements were worthy of a golden man, it was still inappropriate for a young man of the Qin dynasty who might succeed to the throne to be made into a golden man.
According to the intelligence gathered by Yexiao, court officials with outstanding contributions, such as Feng Quji and Li Si, all hoped that if Tianxuan succeeded to the throne, he would cast his golden man for them so that they could also enjoy the honor.
As soon as Tianxuan said this, Fusu Fang remembered this and his expression became embarrassed.
