While the Song palace was in turmoil, outside the palace was the same as usual, and the people lived as before, with little impact except for the fact that there were more soldiers patrolling the streets than there were more soldiers patrolling the streets.

The same is true of the provincial examination, the twelfth day of the first month of the third year of Yuan Fu (rì), the tense provincial examination has been carried out to the fourth (rì), and there are still four or five hours, and the provincial examination that determines the fate of more than 3,000 scholars is about to end.

When the dust settles, everything will be left to heaven's will.

"Today, the country is strong in the north, and the party is in the west, and the year is sent to prevent the mid-autumn. Relaxation is the deviation of the guard, and the poor soldiers feed it as a disturbance. . . The country is still diligent and strategic, and the style is strong and chaste, so it is authoritative and pretending to be Qiangyi, ensuring the gathering of people, and the party is crazy, and it is still pretending to rest in the morning; The meat is a cruel demon, and it is quite poisonous to the border. Transferring the people's salary, sending Rong to prevent autumn, saving domestic funds, and conscripting in the field, failed to take the captive, and hung on the high street. Destroying barbarians, how can they bother the situation in China? How can those who have the advantage of the location not be as good as others? Winner or loser? Stupid and micro-coar, why change his mind? ”

This is the provincial test policy on the last day, in which seven questions were asked in one breath, such as civil and military, military and peasants, Baosai and folding, China's situation, geographical advantages and people, etc., which reflected the psychology of the imperial court's eagerness to obtain a good policy for governing the border.

This was also the first time that Li Sanjian encountered a trial strategy topic about the northwest, about the party in the northwest, and about the war in the northwest

Since the fifth year of the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao, the leader of the party regime of the Song Dynasty, broke away from the Song Dynasty and established the Xia State (bī) to force the Song court to recognize it, Xirong became the imperial court and became a heavy heart disease for the kings of the Song Dynasty.

The strong Hu Khitan in the north can't be defeated, but in the land of the projectile, the little Western Xia actually rebelled against the Song Dynasty?

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

So the Song Dynasty began to carry out a long-term, large-scale war with the Western Xia, after Renzong, there was no emperor who did not have a war with the Western Xia, the Song national strength was several times, even dozens of times that of the Western Xia, the army was strong, but the Western Xia was not a soft persimmon, let others take it, so the period was to stop and stop, there were mutual victories and defeats, and the two sides were entangled together.

Until the second year of Zhao Xu's Yuanfu, the Song Dynasty fully occupied Hengshan and Tiandu Mountain. The east road of the Yan Yan Road building warm spring village, from the northeast of Mizhi village only forty-five miles, the Song Dynasty only occupies a certain advantage, Yuan Fu two years of August, the Western Xia also sent to apologize, its thank you table with more humble words. It was only in December of the second year of Yuan Fu that the two sides signed a contract, and it was temporarily calm.

However, the imperial court understood that this was only temporary, and the arrogant party members did not submit to the Song, and the Song had no way to take all the Western Xia, and there was no way to destroy the shame of the country.

Sooner or later, there will be a life-and-death battle between Song and Xia!

After Li Sanjian carefully read this trial strategy several times, he quickly sniffed out the key to it, that is, the military and financial issues. The long-delayed war in the northwest also cost the Song court a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and depleted the Song national strength, which was questioned by the mother.

Although Li Sanjian did not know how much it was spent, he could judge that the affairs in the northwest would definitely make the imperial court anxious.

The Song relied on its national strength, while the Western Xia must rely on its cavalry, taking advantage of the favorable terrain, giving full play to the advantages of the cavalry, and using flexible tactics to confront the Song, this problem Li Sanjian can also quickly judge.

"They are barbarians who rely on the dangers of the mountains, the obstruction of the forest and mountains, the unprepared, sneaking out and plundering, gathering like bees and ants, flying like birds and beasts, guarding the vassals, and throwing themselves into the place of death, but how can these people be enough to burden the prestige of the country。。。。。。 The importance of the border affairs is in the northwest?。。。。。 ”

Li Sanjian thought for a long time and replied.

Li Sanjian first wrote that the key to the border affairs was not in the northwest, but also in the Liao, a small country in the Western Xia, and there was no need to spend a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources on it (shēn), and reminded the imperial court not to forget that there was another strong captive in the north, that is, the Liao Dynasty established by the Khitans, and the Liao was the great trouble of the Song Dynasty.

Western Xia is sandwiched between Song and Liao, Song (bī) is very tight, Western Xia will turn to Liao, Liao (bī) is very urgent, Western Xia will turn to Song instead, Xixia is in the gap to survive, still alive with taste, live with joy...

Therefore, there is no need to make the Western Xia (bī) too tight and too harsh.

"The west and Zhurong, the south Fu Yiyue, the outside is better than Liao, and the elite troops are stationed in the northwest, disturbing its strategy. Internally revise politics and increase national strength. When there is a change in the world, that is, a strong army, west out of Hengshan, and all efforts to fight with it, this is the battle of destroying the country, it is a battle of life and death... ”

Li Sanjian finally wrote a countermeasure, that is, the soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, first make friends with Liao and Western Xia, and station elite troops on the northwest border, but do not confront Western Xia, and even do not have to (sāo) to disturb the other party, but only use the momentum of large soldiers to press the territory, deep ditch barriers, and lead but not provoke.

This move will inevitably cause the Western Xia to exert all its national strength to confront the Song, and the national strength of the Western Xia cannot last long, and there will inevitably be chaos after a long time, and when there is a large-scale civil strife in the Western Xia, it is the opportunity of the Song Dynasty, at this time, the Song should do its best to destroy it in one fell swoop.

During this period, Li Sanjian suggested attacking and destroying the economy of Western Xia, and even harassing the economy of the Liao Dynasty and implementing an economic blockade, which would inevitably lead to civil strife in Western Xia.

Li Sanjian only wrote more than 1,000 words in this article, but it took Li Sanjian more than three hours, but Li Sanjian reviewed it carefully, and he was still quite satisfied.

Li Sanjian put down the brush, moved his hands that were almost frozen, looked around, and saw that the people around him were either buried in thought, or looking around, or the table (qíng) was indifferent, as if (xiōng) had a bamboo.

After Li Sanjian glanced at Liu Anjie, who was squeezing his eyebrows at himself, he found that the gods (qíng) of the officials in the tribute courtyard were a little strange at this time, and the gods (qíng) of the officials who were shy in their stomachs and were showing off their might and were inspecting everywhere were extremely serious and a little nervous, and they were all silently looking in the direction of the palace, not knowing what was going on (qíng).

Even some small movements of the lifters were not noticed or noticed, and no one paid attention to them.

Li Sanjian was secretly frightened when he saw this, how could Li Sanjian not guess what happened?

Could it be that Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty has really returned to heaven? Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, before counting (rì), Li Sanjian knew that Zhao Xu was critically ill, but how could he never have imagined that Zhao Xu would return to heaven so soon?

Are the mountains of rare medicinal herbs in the palace and the clusters of skilled medical officers all decorations?

If Zhao Xu really returns to heaven, no matter who inherits the throne, the pattern of the Song court will change drastically, which is questioned by Mu Yong.

Will this provincial test be cancelled? Li Sanjian was worried for no reason.

"When... While... While... At this moment, just as Li Sanjian was secretly guessing, there were bursts of bells ringing from the direction of the palace, the bells were dull and pale, but melodious and far-reaching, and they were in the air of the entire Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo.

This is the bell of the six palaces, it is the death knell, and the death knell rings to indicate that there is a prominent palace nobleman who has returned to heaven.

Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty has returned to the sky, and it has been confirmed at this time.

"Your Majesty... There was a burst of crying in the tribute courtyard, and all the officials wept and bowed in the direction of the palace.

Li Sanjian stood up with most of the lifters, looking solemnly in the direction of the palace, but there were also some more unresponsive Mu Neju who were still dizzy and continued to answer the questionnaire.

"Namuk! Rise! At this time, a Ministry of Rites official shouted loudly, and at the same time, some officials also sounded the gong.

Dozens of white-clothed and white-armored (diàn) former pro-soldiers also pressed their swords and walked into the tribute courtyard.

Emperor Daxing, this is the national mourning, and during the national mourning period, it is not allowed to continue the examination, so the Gongyuan immediately terminated the entrance examination, whether you have finished answering or not answering.

The officials and officials in the tribute court quickly changed into white clothes and white hats, and at the same time began to collect the answers of the people.

After the officials and officials received the answers of the judges, they ordered the people to leave the tribute courtyard and go home to wait for the results.

。。。。。。。。

"Who? Senior brother in high school? ”

After Li Sanjian left the Gongyuan, he went straight to the palace.

Zhao Xulong's return to heaven, then the next thing (qíng) is the new monarch to succeed to the throne, Li Sanjian didn't know what was going on with Zhao Ji in the four (rì) in the tribute courtyard, so he went straight to the palace to understand the matter.

In other words, as a guest of Duanwang's Mansion, you can't just take Yulu and not work, right?

Li Sanjian had just run to the gate of the palace when he was hit by someone from behind and almost fell to the ground.

Li Sanjian turned his head to look, only to find that the sophomore didn't know when he rushed over.

The second high leg is outstanding, and when he runs, it is like a galloping horse, and everywhere he passes, he will raise a slip of dust.

"San Lang? You're back? Hurry, hurry, there is an urgent letter in the palace, come with me to see the prince. The sophomore was sweating profusely, and he didn't have time to say more, so he hurriedly dragged Li Sanjian and ran towards Zhao Ji's residence.

Li Sanjian clever plan, at this time Mi Fu was still in the palace to send a message.

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go." Fortunately, Li Sanjian has been running and exercising for several years, otherwise he really can't keep up with the pace of the sophomore year, but even so, Li Sanjian was still dragged by the sophomore year of high school and stumbled.

"Lord, lord, urgent letter in the palace." Both of them are Zhao Ji's henchmen, after running to Zhao Ji's residence, they didn't need to report at all, they rushed in directly, and after seeing Zhao Ji in the second year of high school, they raised the letter in their hands and shouted loudly.

"Quick, get it." Zhao Ji walked up a few steps, took the letter from the high second-hand school, glanced at it, and handed it to Li Sanjian.

"It's better for you to read it." Zhao Ji said anxiously to Li Sanjian.

The letter is Li Sanjian's secret note, although Li Sanjian has taught this method to Zhao Ji, but where can Li Sanjian understand and see quickly?

"The Queen Mother ordered the princes to enter the palace, the sooner the better!" There were only these thirteen words in the letter, and Li Sanjian read it out loud.
