Chapter 108 Li Si's Obstacle
"I believe that as long as we adhere to the principles of fairness and justice."
"Let more people see the benefits of the imperial examination system, and they will eventually understand and support our decision."
"In addition, I will also adopt a series of policies to gradually weaken the power of local tyrants and make the power of the country more centralized."
Prince Fusu's firm tone reached Xiao He's ears.
After hearing this, Xiao He's mind suddenly became clear and he admired Fusu's foresight and determination even more.
"You are really courageous and far-sighted, sir."
"I believe that under your leadership, the future of Qin will be even more prosperous."
Xiao He carefully compiled and edited the imperial examination system described by Fusu into a book.
Every word and sentence reflects his careful consideration on the future talent selection system of the Qin State.
However, he also knew that implementing this system was not easy.
In particular, the tense relationship with Li Si made things even more complicated.
Xiao He sat in his study, looking at the completed manuscript in his hands, feeling both a sense of accomplishment and worry.
He knew very well that whether this manuscript could be approved by Li Si was directly related to whether the imperial examination system could be implemented smoothly.
Just then, Fusu's voice broke the silence of the study.
"Master Xiao, how is the manuscript of the imperial examination system going?"
Xiao He quickly stood up and presented the manuscript respectfully.
"Sir, the manuscript has been completed."
"However, we have to face a realistic problem - Li Si."
Fusu took the manuscript, read it carefully and nodded: "Yes, Li Si is a link we cannot avoid."
"However, I believe that as long as we can make him see the value of the imperial examination system, he will definitely support us."
Under the shadow of the court, Fusu and Xiao He were having an in-depth discussion on the implementation of the imperial examination system.
The discord between Li Si, the prime minister who held a pivotal position in the court, and Fusu had become an open secret.
Xiao He looked at Fusu with a determined light in his eyes.
"Sir, if you trust me, I am willing to go and lobby Prime Minister Li in person."
Fusu frowned when he heard this. He was well aware of Li Si's stubbornness and influence, and he also understood the dangers Xiao He might face on this trip.
"Sir Xiao, do you know the relationship between Prime Minister Li and me? If you go to lobby at this time, I'm afraid it will only backfire."
Xiao He took a deep breath, his voice full of determination.
"Sir, I understand. But the imperial examination system is vital to the future of Qin."
"We can't give up just because of temporary difficulties. I am willing to take this risk for the future of Qin and for the well-being of the people of the world."
Fusu looked at Xiao He, his heart filled with emotion and hesitation.
He knew Xiao He's courage and determination, but he was also worried about his safety.
"Master Xiao, I admire your courage and determination. But the risk is too great. I cannot let you take the risk."
Xiao He smiled slightly, his eyes revealing an unquestionable firmness.
"Sir, I, Xiao He, consider myself a loyal and good man. For the future of Qin, I am willing to sacrifice my life."
"Please fulfill my sincere heart."
Fusu looked at Xiao He, his heart filled with helplessness and gratitude.
He understood Xiao He's intentions and was well aware of the importance of the imperial examination system.
But Li Si's influence in the court was too great, and he was worried that Xiao He's trip would be in vain or even trigger a greater crisis.
"Master Xiao, I appreciate your kindness."
Fusu took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
