Chapter 836: All Tools
both rebels. Although the former Qin dynasty fell due to tyranny, these two weren't anything good either. The current Qin Dynasty will crush the ambitions of all rebellious elements before they can bl...Chapter 836: Everyone is Just a Tool Person
The mournful trumpet sounded.
Students streamed in.
Under the guidance of officials from the Hanlin Academy, they came to Jinshuichuan Square one by one, standing in an orderly fashion.
At this moment, the entire court session had moved from the Taihe Hall to outside the hall. Li Chen sat right at the front entrance of the main hall.
It was also the scene where he shot Haler to death that day by blocking his mouth with the gun barrel.
After everyone had taken their positions, Zhao Xuanji and Dantai Jingzhi stood as the leaders of the civil officials, while Su Zhen'ting stood as the leader of the military officials. The three simultaneously bowed deeply and shouted in unison.
"See the Crown Prince, a thousand years of life!"
With the Emperor absent, the Crown Prince governs in his stead. Thus, on such a formal occasion, one must naturally address the Crown Prince with utmost respect and deference.
Next came the civil and military officials, followed by all the students who had participated in the palace examinations.
All hail him.
No one dared not shout his name in admiration.
"See the Crown Prince, a thousand years of life, a thousand years of life, a thousand thousand years of life."
At the Jinshui Bridge Square, because of the distance and with civil and military officials standing at the front, the examinees taking the imperial examinations couldn't see the appearance of His Highness the Crown Prince clearly. They could only see a young man in a crimson dragon robe, the symbol of the crown prince, sitting on a golden throne.
Hou Yushu was so excited that her whole body was trembling.
This was his first formal encounter with the core of power in this country.
Standing on the Jin Shui Bridge Square, looking at the imposing guards surrounding me and the solemn civil and military officials, each person embodies authority.
Hòu Yùshū had a strong feeling that he was born to be here, he was a person made for the political arena!
He felt that his life, starting today, would usher in a brand new and totally different future.
"I will one day become the head of the civil service!"
Looking at Zhao Xuanji's back with ardent eyes, Hou Yushu trembled with excitement.
Although the difference in status between the two was vast, like heaven and earth, Hou Yushu was confident that by his age, he would inevitably become the next chief assistant of the cabinet!
As if aware of the intense gaze, Zhao Xuanji subtly turned his head back slightly.
Most people dared not look him in the eye, but a young scholar standing at the front stared at him with fiery eyes.
Zhao Xuanji frowned slightly......Where did the fool come from
After Zhao Xuanji withdrew his gaze, Hou Yushu turned her head and glanced at Xu Junlou who was standing not far behind her.
Faced with the latter's calm and indifferent gaze, Hou Yushu sneered and ignored him.
He had made up his mind. He would start from Xu Junlou, using it as a stepping stone to achieve fame throughout the capital and ultimately ascend to the pinnacle of power.
No one knows how rich Hou Yushu's inner thoughts are.
At this moment, Li Chen had already stood up from his chair.
As the Crown Prince was about to speak, the entire Jinshui Bridge Square fell silent, save for the rustling of the wind and the flapping of banners.
Scanning the entire audience, Li Chen was also very satisfied.
These young people are the pillars of future Qin.
And this year's civil service exam was the least influenced by the cabinet so far, with almost all of the successful candidates being incorruptible individuals.
For Li Chen, who was short of personnel, these people standing there were all useful tools.
Clearing his throat, Li Chen spoke, “Everyone, you are all the pillars of our great Qin. From studying hard in your cold windows to passing every stage, from the county examination to the provincial examination, from the metropolitan examination to the regional examination, and finally to today's palace examination, this imperial examination, starting from the county examination nationwide, had eight thousand six hundred and ninety-two students registered. But now at the palace examination, there are only over a hundred of you left.” truly ashamed."Mr. Mirror's eyes lit up, and he suddenly changed the subject, saying: “Old man has a top line, please give me the bottom line.”Before Li Chen could speak, he blurted out: "Standing on...
