Chapter 126 Going to Pei County
Seeing the old flame who had raised his hand so quickly at the beginning, the young men from the six kingdoms around him laughed.
"Hahaha, what kind of answer is that?"
"Yeah, is that really the answer? That's absurd!"
But unlike the reactions of these people, Ying Zheng looked at him with a bright light in his eyes.
Yes, this is the secretary, the official he wanted.
This is exactly what his old flame should look like!
He could tell that the other party was indeed talented, but not as clever as these people. However, the other party was loyal to the Qin state and was wholeheartedly devoted to the people and the people.
So even if the other person isn't good at something, as long as they are loyal, that's enough.
However, Ying Zheng did not express his opinion, but simply nodded and gestured for him to sit down.
He then asked each of the candidates to stand up and answer his questions, and the people from the six kingdoms spoke.
"I can personally oversee the discovery of those places for Your Majesty, to ascertain whether there are any rebellious forces or individuals who harbor resentment towards Your Majesty!"
"We can arrest those spies and officials who monitor both the top and bottom levels, thus helping to stabilize the Qin state."
His answer seemed to have no problem at all.
However, compared to other ideas and approaches, these were for the benefit of the people, or rather, for the sake of Ying Zheng.
It was indeed rather strange that he immediately targeted spies and anti-Qin people, since the essence of the secretary official was not to target anti-Qin people.
While part of the purpose was here, there were other reasons as well.
Ying Zheng didn't say anything after seeing his eyes, but just nodded. After everyone had answered the questions, Ying Zheng took the initiative to sit down and said.
"I have remembered all your answers."
"Next up will be Tang Yu, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qin Dynasty. He will be conducting a new round of questions and answers with you. I hope you can persevere!"
After Tang Yu takes the stage.
He then asked a variety of questions that seemed professional, but were actually... somewhat professional.
After all, Tang Yu had gone through 12 years of compulsory education in his previous life, and had also taken the college entrance examination and the civil service examination, so he was extremely good at taking exams.
After all the questions were asked, when these people came out, none of them knew who among them had passed and who had been eliminated.
Tang Yu looked at Ying Zheng in front of him, and the two exchanged a glance before silently nodding.
Clearly, they were prepared to proceed as planned, and the people from the six kingdoms would be closely monitored.
In less than half an hour, soldiers came to announce the results outside the examination hall.
Although some were eliminated, most were accepted. Among the six countries, there were quite a few who were eliminated, but also several who were accepted.
This made them celebrate for a long time, after all, they were able to enter the official class of Qin.
Especially for officials directly under Ying Zheng, this would be of great help to their future anti-Qin cause!
So they are also celebrating this, feeling it is a major breakthrough!
Upon learning that he had become a secretary, Xiao He couldn't contain his excitement.
However, when he returned to the inn to report the good news to Pei County, he saw an unusually familiar but unexpected figure as soon as he opened the door.
Imperial Advisor Tang Yu!
Yes, Tang Yu had already taken his seat in the inn before him.
"This humble commoner Xiao He greets Your Excellency, the Imperial Preceptor!"
"What? Aren't you an official of my Qin state?"
"No! Your humble servant Xiao He greets the Imperial Preceptor!"
Looking at Xiao He in front of him, Tang Yu spoke.
"I had heard of your name before, and I believe you are quite talented, which is why I came to visit you."
"However, I was quite surprised that you were able to win first place in this assessment from beginning to end."
Xiao He nodded, while Tang Yu continued.
"Are you planning to return to Pei County to share the good news and then pack your belongings to head to Xianyang City?"
"How could the Grand Preceptor have known this?"
Seeing the shocked Xiao He, Tang Yu waved his hand.
How did he find out?
Throughout history, the saying "to not return home in wealth and honor" is like wearing fine clothes at night.
Humans need emotional value to live!
Xiao He finally passed the Qin state's examination and became a secretary and official, so why can't he go home and act like a big shot?
After all, although Xiao He was virtuous and talented in history, he could not get rid of this habit. Therefore, Tang Yu was certain that he would choose to return to Pei County!
Therefore, he came here to ambush him, wanting to travel with Xiao He.
Similarly, he also had the right to visit Liu Bang.
He wanted to see what kind of person Liu Bang, the infamous old rogue in history, really was.
After all, Liu Bang can be considered the best indicator of historical illiteracy.
If you truly believe that Liu Bang was simply lucky to seize the throne from Xiang Yu, then there's no point in trying to communicate with him.
However, it would be rather pointless to visit him as his own imperial advisor, Tang Yu.
After all, he didn't intend to recruit Liu Bang as an official, or rather, he wasn't planning to at the moment; he was just planning to make contact with him first.
Otherwise, they could have just attacked Liu Bang directly in the face, just like they did with Han Xin.
"You don't need to know how I know this, but since Xiao He is an official of our Great Qin..."
"I hope you will not waste your talents and can contribute your strength to the development and future of our Great Qin!"
"Xiao He has noted it down."
Seeing Xiao He nod respectfully, Tang Yu knew that such a talented person didn't need to settle down.
Because if you can achieve what he wants, then his heart will naturally belong to you.
He was Liu Bang, the founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty, but he could also have been Xiao He, the mainstay of the Qin Dynasty!
"Since you are returning to Pei County, and I happen to be going there as well, why don't we travel together?"
"To travel together? This... Your Excellency, Grand Preceptor... Xiao He is terrified!"
Looking at Tang Yu, who was smiling broadly, Xiao He quickly shook his head.
Tang Yu could say that, but he couldn't take it seriously.
After all, although the Imperial Advisor Tang Yu was known for being approachable, he couldn't be too out of line.
“No, Xiao He. Since we already know each other, it’s fine for us to go to Pei County.”
"Also, there's no need for 'Grand Preceptor' or anything like that. Just keep calling me Brother Zilong!"
"I'll be staying in Pei County for a while longer, and I hope you can be understanding, Xiao He!"
"What? The Imperial Preceptor intends to stay for an extended period?"
Xiao He was shocked, but he was even more excited!
Because he discovered that Tang Yu was not lying, wouldn't that mean that he, the top official of Qin State, would be living in the same city?
So how much of an innate advantage do I have over others?
If you want to improve, that's too easy!
At this moment, Xiao He couldn't help but want to request a love song!
He wants to progress so much!
