The scholars who made trouble outside the Tribute Courtyard flocked to the gate of the Tribute Courtyard with great emotion.

They made trouble for three days, and their original intention was to attract Zhao Zhen to appear and settle the matter, and then when Zhao Zhen appeared, they told about the injustice of the imperial examination.

In this way, Zhao Zhen chose another imperial examination and retook the examination.

It's just that they made a fuss for three days, and they didn't see Zhao Zhen appear.

Now I can only get together, wait for the scholars inside to come out, ask about the scientific research inside, and then win over some scholars who know the 'shady scene' to denounce Kou Ji together.

The door of the Tribute Courtyard was opened little by little under the gaze of the scholars outside the Tribute Academy.

Zhao Zhen's figure was slowly revealed in front of people.

"Mother...... Something big is wrong......"

Zhao Zhen has been dangling in front of the people of Bianjing City many times, so many scholars in Bianjing City have seen Zhao Zhen's dragon face.

Now seeing Zhao Zhen appear in the Gongyuan, the frightened three souls lost their seven spirits, screamed, and wanted to run.

But all the scholars who knew Zhao Zhen had a sentence in their heads.

"What the hell did I do?!"

yes, what the hell did you do?

After Zhao Zhen had already issued an order not to make noise during the scientific expedition, he was beating gongs and drums at the gate of the Gongyuan.

Looking at Zhao Zhen's posture, it seems that he has been in the Gongyuan for three days.

In this spring expedition, Zhao Zhen was obviously involved.

Questioning the injustice of Zhao Zhen's participation?

What's more, they almost made trouble in front of Zhao Zhen for three days.

With Zhao Zhen's temperament......

Hiss......

The scholars did not dare to think about it.

"Run......"

Someone quietly pulled his companion and slipped back.

"Who is he?"

"Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Duke Lu, Wang Gong, and Duke Zhang, followed behind him, who is he, can't you see it? ”

"Mother?!"

"Run!"

Zhao Zhen's identity spread among the scholars, and the scholars chose to flee almost without hesitation.

What are you waiting for if you don't run away?

Waiting to die?

made trouble under Zhao Zhen's nose for three days, disrupting the Spring Festival Ceremony, if Zhao Zhen didn't do something, then he wouldn't be called Zhao Zhen.

The scholars lied and fled from the Gongyuan in all directions.

Zhao Zhen watched coldly.

Let the soldiers escape.

In less than half a burnt incense time, nearly ninety percent of the scholars at the gate of the Gongyuan escaped.

Most of the remaining 10% were knocked to the ground while escaping, injured and unable to escape.

Only a small number of people, after knowing Zhao Zhen's identity, chose to give up resistance.

After Zhao Zhen saw those fleeing soldiers running away, he snorted coldly, "Stupid ......"

Zhao Zhen stared at the remaining scholars and said coldly: "Do you think the spring festival hosted by me is unfair? ”

Under Zhao Zhen's questioning, the scholars saluted Zhao Zhen together.

After the salute, he replied, "Don't dare to ......"

Zhao Zhen snorted coldly: "You have been making trouble outside for three days, and I have been listening to it inside for three days." If you disturb the Spring Ceremony, according to my thoughts, you should be beheaded together.

But Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai interceded for you, and I will let you live.

But capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped.

I have prepared three paths for you, and the officials of the Criminal Department will tell you how to choose. ”

"Whoa!"

In front of Zhao Zhen, they are similar to ants.

Zhao Zhen disposed of them, and they could only obey.

After Zhao Zhen said this, he no longer bothered with those scholars, but just explained to Kou Ji, and then said to Chen Lin: "Go back to the palace and prepare for the palace test in three days......

After today's six interviews, who will be selected and who will not be selected, Zhao Zhen and the six of them know in their hearts.

All that remains is to check the records of the scholars during the interview and do another review.

After the review is correct, the list of winners can be announced.

The follow-up is all trivial, and Zhao Zhen doesn't need to be involved.

Zhao Zhen, accompanied by Chen Lin and Lu Yijian, left the Tribute Courtyard.

Not long after Zhao Zhen left, the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, with the soldiers of the capture station in the city, escorted the soldiers who fled, and returned to the gate of the Gongyuan.

Zhao Zhen scolded them for being stupid, not without reason.

He was all on the road, and how could those soldiers run away under his nose.

Bianjing City set up a fishing station 500 steps, the fishing station is full of soldiers, although after two rounds of reduction, the remaining number of people is not much, but it is easy to deal with a group of helpless soldiers.

A group of scholars were escorted back to the gate of the Gongyuan.

Kou Ji lightly ordered, "Send them all to the Criminal Department......"

Zhao Zhen handed over the matter of disposing of the scholars to the Criminal Department, and Kou Ji naturally would not overstep his responsibilities.

What's more, Koji doesn't bother with such trivial matters.

The scholars felt that they were making a big fuss and doing great things.

But Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji and others never regarded their actions as a big deal, just when they were messing around.

After seeing the scholars being escorted out of the gate of the tribute courtyard.

Kou Ji let the scholars who had participated in the scientific expedition leave the Gongyuan.

As soon as the scholars left, the Gongyuan closed the door again.

Kou Ji, Fan Zhongyan, and Chen Yaozhi had to review the interview records in the Gongyuan and decide on the final term.

The top ten, they have discussed with Zhao Zhen, and they have already decided, and Zhao Zhen doesn't care about the terms in the back, so they naturally need to be arranged.

It is worth mentioning that almost all of the top ten are from Koufu.

After the top ten were expelled from the ranks, Chen Yao's gaze at Kou Ji became very strange.

The back hall of the Gongyuan.

While Kou Ji and the three of them led the officials of the Ministry of Rites to review the interview records, Chen Yaozhi came to Kou Ji with a bowl of tea, and pretended to say casually: "Kou Shumi, the lower officials have heard that Di Qing, a loyal general who has been in the limelight recently, is it from your recommendation?" ”

Kou Ji was reviewing the interview records and didn't care about it, so he casually responded, "Di Qing?" I nominated it. ”

When Chen Yaozhi heard this, he took a deep breath and said with emotion: "There is no fraud in this spring. The top 10 are all from Kofu. Kou Shumi is really discerning. ”

Kou Ji finally heard that something was wrong with Chen Yaozhi's words, he raised his head and looked at Chen Yaozhi.

Chen Yaozhi also looked at him.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

Kou Ji suddenly spoke, "The current Privy Council is not lost to the Inner Court, if you enter the Privy Council, I can consider recommending you to the official family as a member of the Privy Council." ”

The reason why Kou Ji threw an olive branch to Chen Yaozhi was because he heard from Chen Yaozhi's words that Chen Yaozhi still had the intention of sealing the territory immediately.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have praised Kou Ji's insight.

He praised Kou Ji's insight, and asked Kou Ji to help him take a closer look to see if he had the qualifications to go to the ranks of martial artists.

The right to know the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion, in the eyes of others, it is a first-class position.

But in Chen Yaozhi's eyes, it is just an official position.

Whether he can use this qualification to enter the prime minister, in fact, he doesn't care.

There is no shortage of people in his family who will enter the picture.

His eldest brother served as a privy councillor.

His second brother is now only one step away from the inner court, as long as there is no accident, he will inevitably go to the inner court to hang out in the future.

It is enough for a family to produce two masters, and it is easy to attract jealousy.

He went to mix in the ranks of military ministers, firstly, to help his second brother clear the situation, and secondly, to fulfill his wish to seal the territory immediately.

Although his deceased mother repeatedly told him not to practice martial arts.

But he is not such an obedient person, and he has never given up martial arts behind his back.

The deceased mother instructed him to make a name for himself as a civil official, and he made a name for himself on the way to civil office.

Now that he's done it all, it's time for him to live for himself.

Chen Yaozhi heard Kou Ji's words, his eyes slowly widened, the promise given by Kou Ji was a bit unexpected to him, he needed to ask carefully: "Today's Tongzhi Privy Council affairs are concurrently served by Shiheng. ”

Kou Ji said frankly: "The town in the southwest is now just a grass creation, and someone needs to preside over the overall situation. Yongzitou in Yongzhou has just been divided into an Annan army, and now when it is recovering its vitality, it also needs to be watched.

Soon after, Zhu Neng will rush to the town.

The official position of his privy deputy will also become an additional official.

He was promoted to the rank of Privy Councillor. ”

Chen Yaoshi was slightly stunned, and asked to the bottom of the matter: "Who is the marshal of the three palaces?" ”

If Chong Shiheng served as the deputy envoy of the privy council, then there would be no way to serve as the marshal of the Sanyadian Palace.

This is the old rule in the court.

Although the reform of the military system has been completed, some old regulations still exist.

Some of them will naturally disappear with the change of the functions and powers of the military officials at all levels.

There are also some that will be subtly changed later.

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Yaozhi and said something to Chen Yaozhi that was inconvenient for the outside world, "Sanya will be deposed later." ”

Chen Yao's eyes widened in astonishment.

Kou Ji was not afraid to tell Chen Yaozhi the truth, he said frankly: "The Sanya used to be a big mountain, but with the change of the military system, the generals in the Sanya have long been emptied. Today's Sanya has become an empty shell. When Sanya is abolished, there will not be a little storm. ”

Chen Yaozhi heard such a big secret, and his heart was shaken.

Kou Ji took it as gossip and told Chen Yaozhi.

But Chen Yaozhi didn't dare to treat it as gossip, he knew the importance of it.

Chen Yaozhi said to Kou Ji almost without any hesitation: "This matter will be kept secret by the next official. ”

Kou Ji didn't mean to allow Chen Yaoshi to go out and spread around, so he nodded.

Chen Yaoshi groaned slightly, took a deep breath, and said what was in his heart, "If the lower officials want to go to a place, it is best to have a place where there is a fight." ”

Kou Ji was slightly stunned.

Knowing the affairs of the Privy Council, although not as high as the position of the Privy Councillor.

But it is far above the right to know Kaifeng Mansion and the six Shangshu.

It was an official position that could speak in front of the two governments and the officials, and could also participate in some real decisions on major court matters.

Chen Yaozhi actually didn't want it?

Chen Yaozhi seemed to see Kou Ji's thoughts, sighed slightly, and said what was in his heart to Kou Ji, "The lifelong ambition of the lower officials is to seal the territory immediately.

In the past, there was a mother who stopped him, and the lower officials had no chance.

Now that his mother has died, Xia Guan should also fulfill his life's ambition.

Although this move is a betrayal of filial piety.

But Xia Guan still wanted to do it. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yaozhi stared at Kou Ji very sincerely, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Guan is over fifty years old, and if he doesn't go to the battlefield to make contributions, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in this life." ”

Chen Yaozhi bowed deeply to Kou Ji and said, "Please also ask Kou Shufu to help the subordinate complete this wish." ”

After listening to Chen Yao's words, Kou Ji really didn't know what to say.

A position that others can't ask for, Chen Yaozhi can't look down on it?

Being an official, being a high-ranking official, is it like playing tickets in his eyes?

Kou Ji thought about it carefully and found that being an official was really a ticket for him.

It has never been his ambition to be a civil official, he just did something casually, and he got mixed up with the position of Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion.

If he really regarded civil officials as his ambition, wouldn't he have already infiltrated the inner court?

With the relationship and connections of his two brothers, it is really possible.

Kou Ji suddenly felt that there was no way to compare people with each other.

Some people have been chasing fame and fortune all their lives, and in the end they are still dangling at the bottom.

Some people do not seek fame and fortune, but they have always been at the peak of fame and fortune.

If Chen Yaozhi's heartfelt words were spoken, nearly eighty percent of the civil officials in the court would have to die of shame.

Kou Ji understood Chen Yaozhi's thoughts, thought about it a little, and made a decision.

"Then you can replace Zhu Neng and go to the southwest. There was a problem with the tribute that the king of Jiaozhi offered to the official family, and the official family was furious, so the newly established Annan army attacked and pointed at the soldiers.

It should have arrived at the border of Cochin by now. ”

"Excuses?"

Chen Yaozhi guessed almost instantly that there was a problem with the tribute that the king of the call gave to the official family was an excuse.

Kou Ji didn't hide it, and nodded slowly: "Most of the people in the Annan army are people from various small tribes in Annan, and the personnel are very complex, and the types of troops are also very complicated. Previously, the imperial court was restructured and incorporated them into the Yongzitou, but they did not obey the military discipline of Yongzitou and made a lot of noise in Yongzhou.

It is impossible for the officials to kill them all, so they can only set up another army to settle them.

The official family sent them to levy Jiaozhi, with the intention of consuming them, and also with the intention of beating Jiaozhi.

They went out to fight in Jiaozhi, and the imperial court did not distribute food and wages.

Fifty percent of what they seized in Jiaozhi belonged to them, which was regarded as the food and salary distributed to them by the imperial court. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Chen Yaozhi already understood the intention of the imperial court, "Does the official family want them to keep fighting?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly.

Chen Yaozhi continued: "After the lower officials arrived in Yongzhou, they mainly kept staring at them and kept fighting? ”

Kou Ji smiled: "When necessary, you can also go out with Yongzi to hone it." Killing them is killing them, and once we encounter something that takes advantage, we can't miss it. ”

"Taking advantage?"

The corners of Chen Yaozhi's mouth twitched, it was obviously a major event of the national dynasty, but Kou Ji said it so much, Chen Yaozhi was a little uncomfortable.

Kou Ji pouted and said, "Although I have a lot of surplus in the Great Song Treasury, my territory is large and the expenses are also large. Just laying official roads in Xingqing Mansion, Hexi and other places will cost a lot of money.

The imperial court also has to find a way to open source.

You can't always count on the money in the treasury. ”

Seeing that Chen Yaozhi was still a little uncomfortable.

Kou Ji continued: "You went, and it was only to share some of the captures of the war. If Duke Li, Wang Gong and others go, they can scrape the ground. ”

Li Di and Wang Zeng have always believed in the creed of having money in their hands and not panicking in their hearts.

They firmly believe that the Great Song Dynasty has become stronger now, and it is inseparable from the fact that there is money in the treasury.

Therefore, in order to make the Great Song Dynasty stronger, they will try their best to help the Great Song Dynasty collect money.

As the parents of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it is naturally impossible for them to go to the people of the Great Song Dynasty to loot money.

But out of the Great Song Dynasty, they can do everything.

This matter is not Kou Ji's boasting, but there is empirical evidence.

In order to rejuvenate the education of Hexi and prepare the money and food for education, Li Di did not make a lot of money from the Hu merchants in Shazhou in the past.

The Hu merchants who did business in Hexi had to pay a full percentage of the taxes they had to pay compared to the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty.

If it weren't for the long-line fishing for big fish, Li Di estimated that he would be able to double the tax burden of Hu Shang.

Li Di treats outsiders so harshly on his own turf, and when he goes to someone else's turf, he doesn't just pick up the knife and rob it?

The benevolent side is reserved for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, not for outsiders.

Chen Yaozhi heard Kou Ji's words and couldn't believe it.

Kou Ji sighed slightly and said, "Don't believe it, the reason why they do this is because they are really poor. During the reign of the first emperor, I was poor in the Song Dynasty for more than ten years.

They all came from that time and knew the importance of money to the Great Song Dynasty.

They have also seen scenes of cannibalism during famine.

In order to avoid similar scenes from happening again, they will naturally spare no effort to make money.

They firmly believe that as long as there is enough money, I will not starve to death anymore.

None of the money they made went into their pockets, and all of them were used by Da Song.

So no matter how ruthless they are, no one will accuse them.

Because no one has the right to blame them.

You go to the Southwest, and it's the same.

No matter how hard you are with outsiders, no one will accuse you.

Because it's not eligible. ”

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Chen Yaozhi nodded slowly, he is not a good person, so naturally he will not be polite to others.

The main reason why he was worried was that he was afraid of taking on a bad reputation.

This is the sequelae left by his long-term work as a civil official, and he can't change it for a while.

Kou Ji saw Chen Yaozhi nodding, so he said: "After this Spring Festival, I will discuss this matter with the official family, and if the official family agrees to this matter, I will send you to the Sanya first."

When the Sanya is abolished, you will be sent out of Beijing and rushed to the southwest. ”

Chen Yaozhi saluted Kou Ji and said, "Thank you Kou Shumi, ......"

Kou Ji smiled faintly: "You don't have to be polite, you have entered the ranks of military ministers, even if you are my subordinate officer, I should take care of you." ”

Chen Yaozhi nodded solemnly.

Kou Ji suddenly remembered another stubble, and hurriedly reminded: "After you arrive in the southwest, it is very likely that there will be a wave of people rushing to the southwest to watch the battle. As soon as they arrive in the southwest, you will send them to Jiaozhi, and don't let them stay in the territory of our Great Song Dynasty.

As for what they're doing in Cochin, you don't care.

If they need help, you don't have to worry if they don't give them enough benefits.

But when you want to use them, use them to death, and you don't have to be polite. ”

Chen Yaozhi said with a stunned face: "There are still such people? ”

Kou Ji sighed, "When you see them, you'll know." You must remember that it is the officials who are in awe of the officials in your heart, not the gods and Buddhas. ”

Chen Yaozhi nodded thoughtfully.

He had already deduced what kind of people it was from Kou Ji's words.

After the two finished talking about it, they didn't say anything more and began to review the interview records.

After a busy night.

The interview transcript has been reviewed.

There was almost no change in the top ten, and the following rankings, Kou Ji and others arranged according to their own thoughts.

After everything is ready, the dishes are ready.

Kou Ji ordered someone to go to the list.

There are many people outside the Gongyuan who watch the list, including scholars who have seen the scientific expedition, and some housekeepers and servants of wealthy families.

The scholars really came to see the list, and the housekeepers and servants of the wealthy families came to pick their aunts.

Of course, there are some who are just having fun.

Yesterday, the trouble at the gate of the Gongyuan has already spread all over Bianjing City.

Now the people of Bianjing City will despise those troublesome scholars after dinner.

The troublemakers shouted in Bianjing City for nearly two months, claiming that the Spring Festival was unfair and that the Jinshi quota of Kou Ji Inner Court was unfair.

Under their brainwashing, the people of Bianjing City have basically believed this.

They are still waiting to see how Kou Ji will deal with the attacks of the scholars and the attacks of the Manchu civil and military forces after the Zhang Bang.

But in the end, there was a big reversal.

Zhao Zhen appeared in the Tribute Courtyard.

Slapped everyone in the face with a wave of slaps.

Who is the Talent Dictionary for?

Zhao Zhen!

Zhao Zhen will add sand to it when he chooses talents?

No way.

Since Zhao Zhen will not mix sand into it himself, the rumor of the unfairness of the imperial examination has become a joke.

Those troublemakers made trouble in Bianjing City for two months like clowns jumping off beams.

Zhao Zhen disposed of them, and they deserved it.

No one cried out for the troublemakers, and no one cried out for them.

They are to blame for everything.

The people of good deeds came to the gate of the Gongyuan today, just to see if there would be the same interesting thing as yesterday at the gate of the Gongyuan today.

It turns out that their sense of smell is keen.

It's really funny.

"Yoo Yong hit! No. 10 on the first list! ”

Yes, Yoo Yong-sung is in it.

No. 10 in the first list.

A very fair ranking, without any moisture.

Zhao Zhen did not dislike him because of Zhao Heng's comments, but justly set him a ranking of tenth on the first list.

Lu Yijian and the three of them did not object to this matter.

Because Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji presided over this session of the Spring Festival together, it can be said that it is the most fair one in history, and they don't want to leave a trace of injustice stain in such a fair Spring Festival.

Liu Yongliu, the leader of the flowerbed alliance who has been silent for many years, has changed into the spring and is still the tenth on the first list, which is naturally particularly attention-grabbing.

Many people thought that Liu Yong would never be able to win the spring in his life, but now that Liu Yong is in the middle, they naturally want to see if Liu Yong can make another song "On the Gold List".

The sisters of Willow Lane, Huajie, heard about this, and hurriedly appeared in front of the Gongyuan in a carriage one by one.

Some of them became famous through Liu Yong's poems, so naturally they wanted to come over to congratulate Liu Yong and repay the kindness when Liu Yongzhong was in the middle of spring.

There are also some girls who are purely here to gain popularity.
