a shameless person in the world"You, you didn't succeed that day!"To clarify the truth, Jin Xueyuan had to bring up that unbearable day..."Are you saying that if you eat today, you won't need to eat...Chapter 841: Knocking

If it were possible, Xu Changqing now wanted to draw a knife and kill his nephew, then commit suicide at the feet of the Crown Prince.

Thus, although the lives of the uncle and nephew were lost, at least the Xu family lineage could continue.

What does Xu Junlou's first sentence mean!

That's easy to understand.

That's because people will eventually die, and nations will eventually perish. This is like the alternation of day and night, and the changing of seasons, a natural law that cannot be changed!

This statement, regardless of who it's addressed to, is utterly disrespectful and treasonous.

All that matters is the head.

Pillaging and genocide to begin with.

If you encounter someone with a fiery temper, eliminate their entire clan and no one will dare to speak up for them.

It's too outrageous!

Xú Chángqīng, with legs like jelly, somehow managed to avoid kneeling on the spot. He stole a glance at Lǐ Chén's expression, but saw that the Crown Prince showed no anger. Instead, he even found it amusing and instructed a palace maid to bring him a lychee to eat.

In Li Chen's view, the opening sentence was indeed a bit unorthodox. However, it is not impossible that it was intended to attract attention or that there might be a genuine different perspective behind it.

If that's the case, then Xu Junlou is in for a rough time.

If it were the latter, Li Chen would be a little interested in him.

Continuing to read the article, Li Chen found that Xu Junlou was indeed quite capable.

The entire text addresses Li Chen's question from both the perspectives of external threats and internal problems.

...and it focuses on internal troubles. ...

According to Xu Junlou, the domestic customs of the Qin Empire are no longer as pure as they once were, and the atmosphere in the government is extremely corrupt. There are many reasons for this phenomenon.

But most importantly, the imperial court's control was weakened. Local officials and a vast number of royal relatives and princes divided up the power and wealth that rightfully belonged to the court, further depriving the common people of their benefits.

These people are like parasites on the empire, constantly sucking it dry.

But the problems within the imperial bureaucracy are even more pressing.

To address these issues, Xu Junlou's strategy was to employ strict laws and severe punishments during times of turmoil.

To use the harshest punishments to thoroughly expose the corruption within the Qin Empire's bureaucracy, eliminate its deep-seated problems, cleanse the atmosphere of the officialdom, and then maintain their integrity with high salaries.

After reading the whole passage, Li Chen could be sure that Xu Changqing had spent a lot of time at home discussing politics with Xu Junlou during this period.

Many things and perspectives can't be explained unless you understand politics.

But Li Chen didn't care.

Just like having an identity that has traveled through time, Xu Junlou could get some advantages from having Xu Changqing's help. That was his business.

As for whether it was fair to other candidates, Li Chen simply didn't care.

We are all adults, what's with the talk about fairness Li Chen isn't here to be a judge, he wants talent! The kind of talent he wants!

But it's still necessary to strike it.

"It seems you care about your nephew after all."

Li Chen casually threw out a sentence, leaving Xu Changqing to savor the meaning himself.

Xu Changqing was sweating profusely and stammered, unable to speak.

He ordered Hu Pi to put Xu Junlou's paper with those of Fu Minqing and the others. At this time, the exam time had also arrived.

"Time's up! All remaining examinees cease writing!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining students who hadn't finished their exams paled. They knew that no matter how well they had written, if they couldn't finish answering within the time limit, it meant they were done for.

Li Chen glanced around and found that nearly half the people hadn't finished their exams within the allotted time.Liao army is at war with the court, and we ordinary people living on the border have suffered greatly. Things have become unbearable now. I beg you to take in my child and let him join the monastery....
