The court's questioning was buzzing, like countless small flies flying in people's ears, but at this time, Bao Zheng said shocking words: "Qiqi official, if Bao Zheng is unwilling, it is really a last resort, please take back your majesty's life!" ”

Many people's first thought is that this kid is stupid? Don't you want to put the opportunity in front of you? The official Chrysostom promised you that you still resigned from your official position, is it because the official position is small?

Zhao Zhen is also strange, why do you come to participate in the imperial examination without an official position?

"Oh? Then tell me what your reason is, if you don't tell me why you come to me, you will be disgusted with the lowly official position! ”

Bao Zheng had already washed his face, knelt down with his head upright and bowed: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed Bao Zheng's family matter, Bao Zheng's parents are old and frail and may die soon, Bao Zheng prays for His Majesty to let me go to the nearest place near my hometown to serve as an official to fulfill my filial piety!" ”

Zhao Zhen sighed slightly: "Sure enough, he is a loyal and filial person, I am not mistaken, Kou Xianggong, where do you say it is appropriate to arrange him to be an official?" ”

Although Kou Zhun is the prime minister, he is also the governor of Zhongshu Province, and he has a high say in the appointment of officials, so Zhao Zhen named him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The old minister thinks that it is most appropriate to regrant and state tax supervision!"

Kou Zhun's words made Bao Zheng's eyes light up, and Zhao Zhen nodded again and again when he heard it, sure enough, he was an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and the arrangements for the officials were very proper!

Hezhou is not far from Bao Zheng's hometown of Luzhou, and he can return home every time he goes to Xiumu, so that loyalty and filial piety can be both, Zhao Zhen patted Bao Zheng's shoulder and said: "How is it, are you satisfied with this arrangement?" Ha ha! Don't be hypocritical, why do such a big person cry? ”

Bao Zheng couldn't cry anymore, he didn't expect the official family to be so reasonable, he himself felt that it was too much to ask the official family, who knew that he could get the understanding of the official family.

Zhao Zhen walked up the imperial steps and said: "You and the others are all students of my Great Song Dynasty, and they are also the people of my Great Song Dynasty." My Great Song Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and governs the county with clans, relying on filial piety first, but the first emperor once told me a sentence that I hope you will also remember, good men are determined in all directions, don't learn the state of children.

In the future, you will either be an official in the city of Tokyo, or you will go to the local state capital or even the county seat, and you will inevitably travel non-stop along the way, although you have your parents traveling not far ahead, but you must also remember that you are my courtiers first and then your parents' filial sons.

Serving as an official and benefiting one party is the greatest filial piety you respect to your parents! In the same way, if you contribute to the Great Song Dynasty, I will take care of you, this is mutual, the officials manage the country with their talents, and the country must protect and love the officials. ”

The ministers were speechless with excitement, and could only answer with a salute, and the students who participated in the imperial examination this time bowed down no matter what their background, for no other reason, the scholar died for his confidant, and there was such a benevolent, kind and reasonable official who dared not to serve the death force?

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "Let's be even!" I also want to explain that all students are my protégés, and I have to protect some people who make things difficult, but I have to be punished if I have a mistake! Have you remembered them all? ”

The students looked at each other and nodded in unison: "Students remember the teachings!" ”

Since the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu's proposal of the monarch as the minister, the father as the son, and the husband as the wife has been taken seriously, and now it is cited by Zhao Zhen and re-mentioned, and all officials are obedient.

The palace test slowly entered the climax, although the first martial arts are not the second, but the champion and the first cross-horse parade street is indispensable, which is not only a reward for the highest talent, but also an example to encourage students all over the world, of course, to do a good job, not only to do a good job but also to promote the scenery.

There are first, second, and third places in the exam, champions, role models, and Tanhua is their title.

Zhao Zhen frowned for a long time before saying: "This is really embarrassing for me, your talents and knowledge are quite good and difficult to choose, but who is Song Zhen, Song Qi?" ”

Two personable teenagers stood up, and Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a talent, now I will give you another question, if the place of champion is among the two of you, who should it be given to?" ”

Song Qi stepped forward without hesitation and said: "Since ancient times, the eldest brother has been a father, a brother and a friend and a brother attack, the eldest brother treats me very well on weekdays, whether it is studying or living, he takes care of Youjia, Song Qi can have today, it is given by his brother!" Today, let Song Qi do Kong Rong old things, and hope that the official family will be fulfilled! ”

Song Zhen hurriedly shouted out his younger brother's small characters and said: "Xuan Lang, what are you talking about, your talent is above your brother, and besides, it is your brother who makes Xian and his younger brother, don't talk nonsense, if you go back like this, your father won't ...... it."

"You don't have to fight, Song Xi, you have raised two good sons! This is good, I originally planned to point Song Qi as the champion and Song Zhen as the flower, but you are brothers, the younger brother has the style of people, and the elder brother has the intention of being careful, so you two will be transferred over, the main and secondary are orderly, the elder brother should be the champion, the younger brother should be the Tanhua, and the candidate for the list of eyes is also Luling Ouyang Xiu! ”

After Zhao Zhen's words were finished, the drums and music rang out in unison to congratulate him, Zeng Gongliang's article was also good, Zhao Zhen personally put him into the fifth place in the first class of Jinshi, and Bao Zheng was naturally the fourth place.

Su Xun, this kid hasn't started to read yet, so he naturally didn't pass the provincial exam, Zhao Zhen feels funny and angry when he thinks about it, it's really as it says in the three-character classic: Su Laoquan, twenty-seven, start to be angry, read books!

I really hope that he will write the destruction of the Six Kingdoms as soon as possible, the non-soldiers are disadvantageous, the war is not good, and the disadvantage is to bribe Qin's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" to wake up the surrender faction in the court, probably this time his friends Ouyang Xiu and Zeng Gongliang's high school can wake him up.

Zhao Zhen lined up the rankings on the spot and sent out the imperial list for Chen Tong to post outside the Donghua Gate, this is the first palace test presided over by Zhao Zhen himself, of course, he wants to show the people of the world how the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are thirsty.

It's also a coincidence, this Song Zhen is actually Lianzhong Sanyuan, the Xie Yuan of the Township Test, the Huiyuan of the Provincial Test, and the champion of the Palace Examination are all taken by him alone, and the people of Tokyo City are vying to Donghua Gate to see the champion style of this Lianzhong Sanyuan.

Zhao Zhen looked at the students who left and said to the courtiers with a smile: "Let's not go to rob them of the scenery, go to Qionglin Yuan with me!" This imperial examination does not emphasize poetry, but poetry is the foundation of literati, and it is perfect to put it on the Qionglin banquet to take the school examination! Haha......"

The courtiers smiled with Zhao Zhen, and Ding Wei said to Kou Zhun a little teasingly: "How is it, is it enjoyable to watch this good show of buying people's hearts by the official family?" In the long run, the family will have no place in the court, these people are all real protégés of the Son of Heaven, as long as you dare to obstruct the reform of the official family in the future......"

Kou Zhun interrupted Ding Wei's words with a wry smile: "Who wouldn't see it? In the end, the family is just a joke, now is not five generations ago, the family with nothing in their hands can rely on the land to exchange with the official family for a corner of the stability of the land is considered the best policy! ”

Ding Wei was surprised to forget Kou Zhun's glance, but he didn't expect that it was not easy for him Kou Laoxi to see so clearly.

"I have also been to the Qionglin banquet, and I have also beaten the horse in front of the street ......"

Zhao Zhen hummed a tune that Sancai couldn't understand on the carriage, although he couldn't understand it, he could feel that the mood of the official family was very cheerful.

Walking south from the Imperial Road, you will arrive at the Nanxunmon Gate and then go west for a while to be the Qionglin Garden, there are two Imperial Gardens on the west side of the city outside Tokyo in the north-south direction, the north is the Golden Pond, and the south is the Qionglin Garden.

Needless to say, Qionglin Garden is a royal garden, with large gate teeth, ancient pines and strange cypresses, cotton stone entanglement roads, treasure ponds, willow lock rainbow bridges, and flowers lingering phoenixes.

The banquet was held in such a beautiful garden, and the attendees could not only taste the food cooked by the imperial kitchen of the palace, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery in the garden, which was of course regarded as a great honor and a rare experience.

The last time Zhao Zhen came to the Imperial Garden, he was still the prince, and he was accompanied by Cai Boyu instead of civil and military officials, and went to Zhao Yunliang's Jinmingchi banquet.

The champion crossed the horse and paraded the street, everyone else followed, Yan Shu, who was the leader of the example, automatically retreated to Ouyang Xiu's side and pulled Zeng Gongliang to chat, the three of them were like-minded, many of their ideas were similar, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became.

And there was still a period of time before the Qionglin banquet began in Qionglin Garden, Kou Zhun led the family officials to the side hall where Zhao Zhen was resting under Ding Wei's shocked eyes, Ding Wei didn't expect them to have a showdown with the officials at this time.

Zhao Zhen, who was going to take a nap, looked at the courtiers kneeling on the ground and showed a cold smile: "Okay! They are all my good ministers! actually resigned collectively in Qionglin Garden! Are you trying to blackmail me? Let me tell you that I am not Taizu, nor Taizong, nor is I the first emperor! ”

In the face of the anger of the official family, the officials behind Kou Zhun have begun to tremble, but Kou Zhun still said: "It is reasonable for the old minister to resign due to his old age and frailty, and the other people who follow the old minister are also physically ill or ...... at home."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand to interrupt him: "Very good, today you resign, tomorrow I will take all your inheritance, you don't follow the rules, I don't need to abide by it, of course I will come up with evidence, and I will also expose your disgraceful things to the people under the sun!" ”

Zhao Zhen knew that what Kou Zhun said was an excuse, what kind of physical illness, what did you do earlier, it is unprecedented, it is unprecedented, especially at this juncture of the National Day celebration just after the end of the imperial examination.

What will the people think? What will the rest of the officials think? What do even the majority of students think?

What kind of resignation is this, this is the reprimand to resign!
