Fantasy: Prince Peerless, Conquer the Heavens!

Chapter 37 Going to court

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has an order for you to enter the East Palace and attend the court meeting tomorrow!"

When Qin Wudao left the palace and returned to the thatched house with his drunken body, a palace eunuch who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Court meeting!

The imperial court system of the Qin Dynasty consisted of a three-day minor dynasty and a ten-day major dynasty. The monarch and his ministers discussed together to determine national affairs.

"I know it!"

Qin Wudao woke up from his drowsy mind and couldn't help but feel a little excited at the thought of running the country. He had long disliked some of the current systems of Great Qin.

The eunuch bowed respectfully and returned to the palace to resume his duties.

"Your Highness, things have been packed!"

Jia Xu walked out of the house with empty hands. They didn't have many things, so they could put them all in the space container and take them away at once.

"After we go to the East Palace, arrange for two people to come over and protect the hut!"

Qin Wudao stood quietly at the door, looking at the hut where he had lived for several years, showing a trace of reluctance. He did not have much requirements for the place where he lived.

This is a humble house, but I am kind to you!

Even if it is a hut, he can get used to it and live comfortably.

But now that he is the prince of Da Qin and represents the face of the empire, it would be disgraceful to continue to live in a thatched hut.

After staying for a while, Qin Wudao closed the door and took Jia Xu towards the center of the imperial capital. The East Palace is where the prince lives. It is a majestic, brilliant and majestic palace next to the palace.

Since Emperor Qin ascended the throne, the palace has been closed and has never been opened.

Times have changed!

It's finally waiting for a new owner.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for entering the East Palace..."

Amid the shouts of the guards, the vermilion palace door slowly opened, the aura flickered, and the spirit gathering array automatically opened, making the aura in the palace become richer.

Looking through the gate and looking inside, there is a martial arts arena with various weapons placed on it. The cold light is shining. I am afraid that for a hundred thousand years, all the princes of the Qin Dynasty have been practicing martial arts on the arena.

Further inside, there is a main hall, built on eight layers of earth, with a golden plaque with the word "Qin" written on it, revealing the artistic conception of loyalty, benevolence, bravery, and iron-bloodedness.

"The last general, Gao Zhong, led the East Palace guards to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

A general wearing iron armor and holding a war gun knelt on one knee and said, exuding cultivation that reached the peak of the extraordinary realm.

Behind him, three hundred soldiers were kneeling. They were full of energy and their cultivation levels were above the other shore realm. The combined momentum was like a spear that could pierce the sky.

They looked at Qin Wudao with admiration.

From today on, they are the loyal followers of the prince until death.

"Please get up!"

Qin Wudao waved his hands, lifted up the soldiers with a soft force, and said loudly: "I can see that you are all elites in the army. You are eager to go into battle to kill the enemy and make contributions to the country. It is a pity that you are buried in the empty palace.

Talent!"

"Today, I will take over the East Palace. Soon, I will lead you to conquer foreign lands and expand your territory!"

After hearing this, the three hundred soldiers' eyes lit up and a hint of excitement flashed through them.

Looking at the entire Great Qin Empire, their strength is at the forefront, but because of the protection of the East Palace, they cannot go to the battlefield.

Are they willing?

Of course not willingly!

As a soldier, who doesn't want to be a wolf?

"Jiujiao Lao Qin, we will fight against the national calamity together!"

Gao Zhong shouted loudly, raising the weapons in his hands high, revealing a strong fighting spirit. The blood that had been immersed in his body for a long time began to boil and burn, and he wished he could immediately ride his horse and go into battle to kill the enemy.

"Jiujiu and Lao Qin fought against the national calamity together."

The soldiers followed and shouted, and the loud voice echoed for dozens of miles around, attracting many people's attention.

Suddenly, people saw a real dragon that was about to cut through the sky, dominate the world, and lead the Qin Empire to unprecedented prosperity.

…

The next day, the ancient copper bell rang. Qin Wudao, wearing a four-clawed python robe, walked into the court hall and stood in front of the officials. He was only one step away from the supreme throne.

After the courtiers entered the Golden Palace, they first greeted Qin Wudao, and then gathered in groups to discuss state affairs.

About a quarter of an hour later, Emperor Qin walked out of the apse and sat on the dragon chair, exuding a powerful imperial aura that enveloped the main hall.

The officials returned to their seats and bowed respectfully.

Emperor Qin glanced at Qin Wudao, nodded slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "My dear friends, do you have anything important to report?"

"Your Majesty, the Great Qin Dynasty has unified the Eastern Ancient Region. The territory has expanded several times, and there is a serious shortage of local officials!"

Li Si walked to the center of the hall and said with a sad face.

A few days ago, he sent a large number of officials to inspect the Eastern Ancient Region and found that most of the cities in the former six empires had no officials in charge, and the order was chaotic and unstable.

Emperor Qin frowned slightly. After the six empires were destroyed, officials from the original six kingdoms would definitely not be able to be appointed, and the talent reserves of the Qin Empire were seriously insufficient.

"It's not easy to solve!"

A group of ministers began to whisper and discuss solutions, but for a long time, no one came forward to offer suggestions.

Obviously these problems are very difficult.

"Prime Minister, do you have any good ideas?"

Emperor Qin asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, I suggest that you send some county officials to the newly occupied territories to appoint county officials, establish county offices, and then select talents to fill the missing official positions!"

Li Si thought for a while before speaking out.

When Emperor Qin heard this, he showed a hint of disappointment. It cannot be said that Li Si's suggestion was ineffective, but treating the symptoms rather than the root cause could only temporarily alleviate the problem.

How vast is the territory of the Six Kingdoms?

How many officials did Da Qin need to send to form a complete local county government?

As for selecting talents, how long will it take to fill the missing official positions?

"Prince, what suggestions do you have?"

Emperor Qin looked around the hall and saw Qin Wudao with a calm expression. He raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to my father, the lack of talent reserves in Da Qin is the root cause of the inability to solve local problems. I suggest changing the official selection system!"

Qin Wudao made a shocking statement, which caused an uproar among the ministers.

Change the official selection system!

What a courage!

"Your Highness, the system of appointment and selection of officials implemented by Da Qin has been in use for a hundred thousand years. It is an ancestral method and cannot be changed. Your Highness is extremely talented, but it is better to be cautious when it comes to governing the country!"

Immediately, an official stood up and retorted. The implication was that Qin Wudao was very talented in cultivation, but he had no talent in governing the country.

"Your Majesty, I also oppose the prince's proposal. The laws of our ancestors cannot be changed!"

"The prince does not know how to govern the country, please send a tutor to teach him carefully!"

"Your Majesty, the laws of our ancestors are the foundation of the stability of the country and cannot be changed."

Most of the courtiers voiced their opposition. As for whether it was for the sake of the country, only they themselves knew.

Who is most benefited by the current official selection system?

"The method of our ancestors?"

Qin Wudao kept sneering. The official selection system of the Qin Dynasty was entirely to serve the powerful. If you want to be an official, you must be recommended by an official of fifth grade or above. After the official inspection, you can take office.

For nobles, becoming an official is just a process.

For those from poor families, if they want to be an official, even if they are a ninth-grade official, it will be difficult for them to achieve success.

In the entire imperial court, there were more than nine levels of officials, all of whom were members of the powerful class.
