Chapter 15 No one knows me better than Ye Chi! !

Ye Chi smiled slightly and slowly said: "The imperial examination system is a way to select talented people. It does not matter whether the scholar is from a noble or humble background. Only the talented can be selected. I hope that all the talented people in the world can advance through this system, work together for national affairs, and create a prosperous era together!"

His voice was full of passion and determination, as if he had already seen the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty under the future imperial examination system!
The young masters were infected by his aura, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable excitement and pride in their hearts.

They looked at each other in bewilderment, never having thought that Ye Chi would come up with such a bold and shocking suggestion! !
Regardless of background, only talent is considered? !

This imperial examination system is unprecedented in history. It is tantamount to challenging the authority and interests of the entire aristocratic class!
None of the young masters had ever imagined that Ye Chi, though just a weak man, could have such lofty ambitions in his heart!
"However, doing this is as difficult as climbing to heaven."

Suddenly, Gongzi Gao keenly sensed something was wrong, and his voice revealed deep helplessness and worry.

Jiang Lu also reacted and immediately said, "The power of the nobles is like wolves and tigers. They occupy the court and are deeply rooted. It is as difficult as pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth to implement the imperial examination system!"

When everyone heard this, they were all silent.

They were well aware of the power of the wealthy families. If they wanted to implement the imperial examination system, they would undoubtedly be courting disaster.

However, at this moment, Ye Chi spoke calmly: "What you gentlemen said is true, but since I have said this, I must be prepared. Even if I die, I will plead for the people of the world!"

"Although the nobles are powerful, the principles of heaven are clear. As long as we care about the world, we will be able to open up a great road to heaven and earth!"

His words were like knives, piercing people's hearts!
Fusu and others were shocked and speechless. They never thought that Ye Chi would make such fierce remarks.

However, they also knew that what Ye Chi said was not without reason.

I didn’t quite understand it before, but after listening to Ye Chi’s talk today, I finally have some understanding of my own…

Outside the courtyard, Emperor Qin Shi Huang listened quietly to Ye Chi's story.

A strong resonance surged in his heart, as if he had found a soulmate! !

He secretly sighed: "No one in the world knows me better than Ye Chi!!"

Just at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the night. The Black Ice Terrace spy looked panicked. He hurried to the courtyard wall and knelt on the ground.

His voice was trembling a little: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, staring coldly at the spy with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you so flustered? Report it quickly!"

The spy took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but his voice was still trembling: "Your Majesty, General Zhao Tuo has led his troops to kill Dr. Ye Chi. He is coming this way. Please make the decision, Your Majesty!!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, a sharp cold light flashed in his eyes! !
He stared at the spy coldly, his voice filled with disbelief and anger: "What did you say? Zhao Tuo wants to kill Ye Chi? He's so brave!"

The spy lowered his head, not daring to look the First Emperor in the eye, and could only tremble as he said, "It is absolutely true. General Zhao claimed that Dr. Ye Chi was misleading the people with his lies and deserved death, so he came to find him."

Ying Zheng sneered, his eyes were colder, "You are spreading rumors to confuse the people? Ye Chi is a great talent of the time, I was just about to use him, but Zhao Tuo did this, he is trying to cut off my arm!!"

Zhang Han stood aside and felt a chill in his heart as he felt the cold breath emanating from the First Emperor.

He knew very well that His Majesty at this time already regarded Ye Chi as a pillar of the Qin Dynasty, and Zhao Tuo's move undoubtedly angered the emperor.

Ying Zheng turned around slowly, his robes fluttering in the wind, and an air of majesty as if he was the ruler of the world came over him! !
His voice was as cold as ice, with unquestionable murderous intent: "Zhang Han, follow me to see how bold Zhao Tuo is to act so presumptuously under my nose!"

After saying this, Ying Zheng strode out, followed closely by Zhang Han.

The two of them were one in front and one behind, with such momentum that they seemed to tear the night apart.

…The moon is hidden and the stars are sparse.

Zhao Tuo led his troops and rushed forward with such momentum that the whole street seemed to tremble.

He was wearing a battle robe, was drunk, his face was red as blood, and there was a wild and unruly light flashing in his eyes!
Although his soldiers were not wearing armor, they were all strong and powerful, holding weapons and having smiles on their faces.

For them, killing a doctor is as easy as crushing an ant!
What's more, Ye Chi was just an ant who was kicked out of Fengchang Temple. Killing him is just like killing him. It doesn't matter at all!

Someone even suggested: "General, why don't we just chop off Ye Chi's head and bring it back to put it in front of General Tu Ju. This will be a good way to intimidate the troops and see who dares to talk about attacking Yue again!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused a burst of laughter!

Zhao Tuo laughed loudly upon hearing this, his pride evident on the surface!
He glanced at the weapons in his men's hands and said disdainfully, "Who the hell is Ye Chi? Is he worthy of you mobilizing so many troops?"

"However, since someone wants to chop off his head, I will oblige you!"

"Be quick when you do it later, don't let him die too easily!!"

After saying that, he raised his head and laughed wildly again.

In his eyes, Ye Chi was nothing more than a clown and was not worth his attention at all.

Coming to kill Ye Chi this time was more like a game to him, a game that made him feel excited and thrilled.

Seeing this, the soldiers became even more presumptuous, clamoring to kill all those who dared to oppose them.

For a moment, the whole street was filled with their arrogant voices and shrill laughter!!

……

The night is getting darker and everything is silent.

In the courtyard, only the candlelight swayed in the breeze, making a slight flickering sound.

In this deep courtyard, Ye Chi's voice was like a huge bell, stirring in every corner and echoing in everyone's heart.

He stood in front of the young masters, his blue robe fluttering in the wind, like a wise man who was isolated from the world.

His eyes were deep and firm, as if he could see through all the hypocrisy and ugliness in the world.

His words are sonorous and powerful, every word is precious, and every sentence is shocking! !
"Your Highnesses!" Ye Chi's voice suddenly rose a few notches, exploding like thunder in the night sky, "The clan's troubles have reached the heart of our Great Qin! They rely on the merits of their ancestors and inherit honors, but their descendants have never made any contributions to the country?"

"They do not engage in production, do not care about people's livelihood, and only take pleasure in exploiting the people. How are their actions different from those of termites?"

His eyes swept across the faces of the princes one by one, Fusu, Prince Gao, Jianglu... Seeing them either indignant, or in deep thought, or at a loss, he couldn't help but feel a surge of compassion for the world! !

He continued, “These clan children have been spoiled since childhood and do not know the sufferings of the world.”

"They occupy large tracts of fertile land, but make no contribution to the construction of the empire!"

"They squandered the people's money but turned a blind eye to the suffering of the people!"

"If this continues, how will the country be a country? How will the people be a people?!"
