Chapter 87: "Remorse" for further reading]
Li Si held the test paper in his hand with a serious look on his face.
He was holding Xiao He's paper.
"Your Majesty, take a look at the contents of this volume."
"Establish the outline of disciplines, order the laws, and hang them on the tables of the Wei Dynasty. They are placed in the armor of the order. The first one is on the rock corridor facing Ning. They are scattered in all the bureaus and all the prefectures, as well as in the sea corners of the counties and counties. The longitude and latitude are all recorded.
, everyone is equipped.”
"It is filled with tight seals and without any leakage."
"What is a solid heart? It stirs up laziness and inspires shrewdness. It originates from the depths of the abyss. It originates from the secrets. It begins in the palace of Mu Qing, and the wind blows from the chariot hub and the country."
"Infused into the borderland, it is harmonious, the spirit and thoughts are all smooth, and the skin and body are free from any obstruction." [Note 1]
"The talent in this volume must be number one."
Ying Zheng, Fu Su, and Chen Ke listened carefully with their eyes closed.
After a while, Ying Zheng said with emotion: "This volume is indeed good."
"Fusu, Chen Ke, how do you two feel?"
Fusu nodded slightly in agreement.
"Father, my sons and ministers also think that this volume should be the first."
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke who was sitting aside, but Chen Ke shook his head slightly.
Of course he knew that Ying Zheng wanted to get the first place in this paper, but there was indeed someone who wrote the paper better than Xiao He.
"Your Majesty, I feel that if we only discuss this topic, this volume should be the first."
Chen Ke picked up the paper in his hand with a look of respect on his face.
With curiosity, Ying Zheng took the paper and looked at it carefully. After a moment, there was some hesitation on his face.
"If this volume only discusses this topic, it would indeed be good."
After the words fell, everyone knew what Ying Zheng meant.
To put it this way, it basically means that this paper has some problems in other aspects.
Ying Zheng pointed to a certain sentence and glanced at Chen Ke.
"Chen Ke, didn't you see this sentence?"
"Or maybe you picked out this paper on purpose just to let me see this sentence?"
Ying Zheng actually had some doubts about this matter.
After all, with Chen Ke's mind, he certainly couldn't figure out where this sentence came from.
And this sentence can make me completely reject this paper.
When I was browsing quickly before, I didn't pay special attention to this sentence.
But just now, when he looked at this paper again, that obvious sentence had already been circled.
Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Ke meaningfully, and then smiled.
"Li Si, take a look at this paper."
When Ying Zheng smiled, Li Si couldn't help but feel curious.
He picked up the paper and looked at it carefully, and at this glance he saw a sentence that was obviously marked in the paper.
The next moment, Li Si spoke directly.
"Your Majesty, this volume should be the last."
Fusu also had curiosity on his face. He leaned his head over and took a sneak peek.
With just one glance, Fusu immediately said: "Father, this volume should be the last!"
The marked sentence is as follows:
"If the rituals are gone, how can the country survive? If we respect the rituals of Zhou and restore the affairs of Zhou, then the world will be at peace."
Zhou Li had already poked the lungs of the First Emperor, and Zhou Shi had even smashed the lungs of the First Emperor!
What's going on?
It must be enfeoffment! This statement does not depend on Zhou rites, but on enfeoffment!
This person opposed the county system and supported the feudal system!
Li Si quietly glanced at Chen Ke, who had picked out a big thunder, and Fusu also glanced at him.
Chen Ke sat there with a blank look on his face.
He has an impression of this person.
Because Li Si once mentioned this person's name, he visited Li Si more than a month ago.
And, he tried to persuade Li Si to besiege him together.
This person is a Confucian person.
Chen Ke smiled slightly, with a calm expression on his face: "Your Majesty, what are you going to say? Why don't you understand me?"
He took the paper from Fusu's hand, took one look at it and immediately bowed his head.
"Your Majesty, I am aware of my guilt."
"I didn't even see this sentence, so I presented this scroll to His Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and glanced at Chen Ke without saying anything.
He felt that Chen Ke was deliberately targeting this person, but why?
Why would Chen Ke target this person?
"Okay, it's just a small thing, please pay more attention next time."
Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Ke and said, "I'll fine you three months' salary as a warning to others."
Three months' salary...
Chen Ke raised his head, with confusion in his eyes...
Isn't this just punishing yourself with wages...
Good guy, I'll fine you three months' salary at once... Your Majesty is too harsh.
But using three months' salary to exchange for the enemy's life...
Although it's not worth it, this deal is still a good deal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Okay, now that the test papers have been marked, let's go back."
"I will have someone sort out the results and post them on the list eight days later."
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and then continued: "As for the second round, what needs to be done."
"Chen Ke"
Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ke and said in a calm voice: "Go back and think about it carefully to see if you have any novel ideas."
Chen Ke didn't have any surprises. He knew that this matter would fall on him from the beginning...
"I obey the decree."
After Chen Ke and Li Si both left, Ying Zhengcai whispered: "Go and check."
"Look at what this person has to do with Chen Ke."
From the shadows, a voice came out.
"Here."
After the people from Heibingtai went to investigate, Ying Zheng looked curiously at Fusu in front of him.
"Fusu, you often chat with your teacher, but do you know what the relationship between this person and your teacher is?"
Fusu shook his head: "Father, the teacher has never mentioned this person before."
"So my son doesn't know either."
Ying Zheng touched his chin with a curious look on his face.
"What is the relationship between Chen Ke and this person, or what is the enmity?"
He clicked his tongue.
"This guy Chen Ke, everything will be fine after he regains consciousness, but there is one thing that is not right."
"Too vindictive!"
.........
Outside Zhangtai Palace
Li Si and Chen Ke walked out, still smiling as they walked.
Li Si asked curiously: "Brother Chen, what grudge do you have against that person?"
"Why do you need to deliberately remind Your Majesty?"
Chen Ke blinked and looked confused: "Brother Li, what does this mean?"
"What kind of hatred? Foolish brother can't understand."
He smiled and said: "However, at the Manufacturing Department, Brother Li's book seems to have drawn part of it, but it has not been printed yet."
"If Brother Li has nothing to do today, why don't you and I go take a look together?"
PS: It's a little stuck today, it's a little late, there may be another update later. If it's not there after 12 o'clock, it's gone. Woohoo. It's about to be released. Why is it stuck? I'm so annoyed.
