November 13, Miyagi, Saisai (the latest chapter of the president of the bar on the cool).

"Holy Lord, the temple test will be held in a while. The Queen Mother asked the old minister, this year, the Holy Father will come up with the topic, I don't know how the Holy Lord has prepared? Huang Yuandu stood in the hall and bowed down and asked.

Xiao Ying smiled softly, "Some time ago, Dajin Wanyan Yusheng sent us a letter of state, intending to expand the field, and also wanted to increase the number of fields, and asked us to agree. At that time, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and there were those who agreed, those who refused, and the queen mother also disagreed. How about this palace exam? ”

Huang Yuandu frowned slightly, "Holy Lord, this is a state matter. And Daqi has rejected this matter, if the tributes are allowed to discuss it again, it is afraid of causing trouble (read the full text if you don't marry the president). ”

Xiao Ying said with a smile, "Since these tributes can stand out from thousands of people, their knowledge is extraordinary. And this is a state affair, and you can see how talented they are, how is it bad? ”

"If the Holy One wants to hear what they think, there is nothing wrong with it. However, it may be biased to promote talents. And this matter is a foregone conclusion, if it is discussed again, it may damage the royal majesty. ”

The little emperor's face was a little unsightly, and the first time he presided over the palace exam, Huang Yuandu actually raised an objection, feeling a little faceless. But Huang Yuandu has been the prime minister for a long time, teaching the little emperor to deal with political affairs, and he is the grandfather of the little emperor, so the little emperor is not easy to say.

Huang Yuandu observed the words and immediately said, "Holy Lord, the old minister has an idea. In the past, the Great Song Dynasty confronted the Liao State, the Liao soldiers invaded the Yellow River, and Song Zhenzong crossed north to encourage the soldiers to resist the Jin, and finally the Liao and Song Dynasty signed the Yuanyuan Alliance. Today, our Daqi and Jin countries are ruled across the river, and the situation is slightly similar to that of the past. If the saint takes this as the topic, he can not only investigate the knowledge of the tributes, but also avoid their criticism of state affairs, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Xiao Ying thought for a while, then smiled, "It's still the prime minister's thoughtfulness, well, let's take this as the topic today." ”

On the square outside the Taiji Palace, more than 200 tributes stood in the wind. Around, there is a majestic forbidden army, with a forest of spearheads, shining cold light, and very powerful.

For the vast majority of the tributes, it was the first time to come here, and they were both excited and intimidated by the royal majesty, and Nuno did not dare to speak out. A few of them were bold, looking up, but they met the indifferent gazes of the forbidden soldiers, and they dared to bow their heads in fright.

Among the crowds, Song Zheng is naturally the most relaxed. Today's Song Zheng, wearing a red round-necked robe just issued by the Ministry of Rites, and brand-new white-soled soap boots on his feet, looks extremely happy. As the president of this year's meeting, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he stood in front of everyone with his head held high. How dare those forbidden soldiers stare at Song Zheng? Even when Song Zheng saw them, they bowed slightly.

As soon as the hour arrived, the money full of money came out of the Taiji Hall and said loudly, "There is a decree in the saint, and all the tributes will enter the palace!" ”

Song Zheng bowed in front of him and said loudly, "The minister's decree (strayed into a wealthy family: wife, obediently let me love the latest chapter)." The tributes in the back also received the decree in unison according to the etiquette taught in advance.

A group of people, led by the full cabinet of money, entered the Taiji Hall.

At this time, the hall was already full of tables, and on each of them, there were delicate pen, ink, paper, and inkstones. Among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, only the prime minister Huang Yuandu, Pei Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Tong Huixian, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, were in the palace, plus several low-level officials of the Ministry of Rites were in the palace. Xiao Ying sat on the dragon chair with a solemn expression, and held up the majesty of the Son of Heaven very much.

After the two hundred and thirty-six tributes entered the hall, they each walked to their tables in the order in which they would try. Song Zheng took the lead and knelt three times and bowed nine times.

After the cabinet full of money passed the decree and beckoned everyone to be flat, the little emperor took out an envelope and handed it to Pei Jian from the cabinet full of money. After Pei Jian bowed down and took the envelope, he turned around and read it to everyone, "The topic of this year's palace examination is, 'The alliance between the former dynasty and the Song and Liao, how to gain and lose, all the tributes will talk about it. ’”

After Pei Jian said it three times in a row, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who had interspersed the various tables read it aloud in turn, and after confirming that every tribute had heard it, one of the eunuchs beat the drum. Another eunuch pulled off the plug that leaked even more and began to time.

The time of the Great Qi Palace Test is two hours. After showing his face, he turned back to the apse, he definitely couldn't sit there dryly for such a long time.

Song Zheng did not rush to write, but closed his eyes and thought. The intention of this question can be seen at a glance by a discerning person. The little emperor must have wanted to use this question to examine the scholars' views on the two countries of Jin and Qi.

You don't need to look at it to know that there must be many tributes with high morale and criticized the Great Song Dynasty. Verbal criticism and writing are originally the strong points of scholars.

Song Zheng has been with the little emperor for so long, so he naturally understands his intentions. The little emperor was a young man, and he was quite eager to restore the land north of the Yellow River and Guanzhong and Bashu, full of wars. It's just that because he is not in power, it is difficult to make his voice heard.

Although he was "born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman", the little emperor is not cowardly, and he still has the blood of his ancestors and butchers in his bones, and Huang Jiao also has a set of godsons, otherwise he would not let the little emperor learn both civil and military (the president fell in love with the little wife, read the full text).

Although Huang Jiao and Huang Yuandu are father and daughter, the two have very different attitudes towards Dajin. Huang Yuandu essentially still wants to make peace. At the beginning, he only went to help Yan Yudu because the pressure of the army was too great, and Huang Yuandu had the idea of borrowing Dajin to consume the military strength of Daqi. In fact, Huang Yuandu represents the big families in the south after all, and these big families are not interested in recovering the land north of the Yellow River.

Huang Jiao is different, she has a tiger spirit, and her attitude towards Dajin is inclined to the main battle. Maybe there is a complex in her heart: that is, to make her son better than her dead husband Gaozong, and let Daqi open up territory in the hands of the little emperor, and do what even Taizu Taizong can't do.

Therefore, when Huang Jiao taught the little emperor, she always regarded Dajin as an enemy. Since the little emperor ascended the throne, the relationship between Daqi and the surrounding neighbors has not made the slightest progress, and it is inseparable from Huang Jiao's attitude.

To put it bluntly, in the hearts of Huang Jiao and even many Daqi people, whether it is Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Guanzhong, or even Bashu, they are all the land of Daqi, and Daqi should take them all.

Song Zheng has been in the palace for a long time and sees this aspect very clearly. However, it is one thing to see clearly, and it is another thing to deal with the temple test in front of you.

If it was purely to cope with the exam and cater to the little emperor's wishes, Song Zhengman could write a generous essay. But Song Zheng knew that doing so would not only go against his own wishes, but also be popular with the public, and he would probably disappoint many people at that time.

I am already a martial champion, why bother to fight for this literary champion? If he really becomes a civil and military champion, it may not be a good thing for him, he doesn't want to be too showy and become the target of public criticism!

Thinking of this, Song Zheng picked up his pen and wrote his first sentence with a brush: "The alliance of the Yuanyuan, the beginning of the Song-Liao money war." In the eyes of the currency wars of later generations, he put forward the Song-Liao trade hidden behind the alliance alone.

The core of the alliance was that the Song Dynasty gave the Liao State a little money every year, and then set up a field to trade with each other. The Song Dynasty undoubtedly occupied a huge trade surplus, and even the Liao State did not even mint its own copper coins and silver ingots, but was accustomed to using Song silver coins (Black Tycoon: The Chief Debt BrideRead the full text). In this way, the wealth created by the Liao State was continuously transmitted to the Great Song Dynasty. Liao was finally destroyed by Jin, and there was no reason for this.

Of course, what Song Zheng wrote was a simple truth. And in the end, he didn't completely say how great the Abyss Alliance was. It is true that after Song Liao negotiated peace, he was in a state of peace for a long time. The Song Dynasty did not know soldiers for three generations, resulting in weak military strength. Therefore, Song Zheng played a trick and proposed that Song was right to make peace with Liao, and that Western Xia should be warned, sharpen the sergeants, and continue to strengthen the army.

Song Zheng also has no way, if he doesn't want to be completely regarded as an outlier, he always has to welcome and part of his intentions. Otherwise, Song Zheng may not even be able to keep his qualifications as a jinshi.

Two hours later, Song Zheng handed in his answer sheet. He wrote twenty large sheets of paper, nearly 10,000 words. Currency wars, trade issues, these are very popular ideas for modern people, but it is still very complicated to explain to some people who have little knowledge of economics.

As soon as the tributes finished answering the questionnaire, a eunuch hurriedly broke in, and was stopped by Huang Yuandu, "Don't you know about today's palace test?" Why did you break into the Tai Chi Hall for no reason? ”

The eunuch fell to his knees with a thud, "Prime Minister, just now a report came from outside, saying that the Guogong Mansion came to report, and the Guogong Gong suddenly fell seriously ill and was unconscious!" More than 30 people in Hefu vomited and fell into a coma at the same time, suspected of being poisoned! ”

"Huh?" Huang Yuandu was startled, even the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and he quickly stood up, "What did you say?" ”

The eunuch repeated again, and Huang Yuandu's face sank suddenly, "Go and tell the Holy Lord, and quickly summon the imperial doctor to the Guogong Mansion!" ”

The eunuch hurriedly agreed, got up, and walked to the apse. Xiao Hui's face was gloomy, "Lord Pei, Lord Tong, quickly collect the exam papers, organize the Ministry of Rites to quickly review them, and submit them to the Holy Emperor, I will go to visit the Guogong." ”

Pei Jian and Tong Huixian both bowed down and agreed. Huang Yuandu hurriedly walked towards the outside of the hall, and when he walked to the door of the hall, he suddenly turned around, "General Song, please accompany me on a trip." ”

Song Zheng was stunned, today he is not a general, he is a tribute who participated in the palace examination, how did this kind of thing find himself (black giant: stealing the perfect husband read the full text).

"Commander Song!" Huang Yuandu called again,

Song Zheng hurriedly got up and followed closely.

Outside the palace gate, the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion was ready. Huang Yuandu instructed, "Go to the Guogong Mansion", and then beckoned Song Zheng to sit in the same carriage with him. Although Song Zhengxin wondered, he still got into the carriage.

Entering the carriage, Huang Yuandu's face quickly calmed down, his face sank like water, and the anxious appearance just now was like two people, making Song Zheng secretly praise his face-changing skills.

The carriage of the prime minister of Daqi is naturally very large, and the layout inside is also extremely magnificent, even compared to the imperial opinion of the little emperor, it is not much better, but it is not so ostentatious in terms of regulation.

Huang Yuandu motioned for Song Zheng to sit opposite him, "Yesterday you led the saint to the palace?" ”

Song Zheng was stunned again, didn't he go to the Guogong Mansion in a hurry? Why did Huang Yuandu ask this in the first sentence? However, he still replied honestly, "When the Holy Lord heard that the prince was seriously ill, he was worried about it, so he sent his ministers to accompany him to visit the prince. ”

Huang Yuandu snorted coldly, and said again, "Who saved Guo Xingjia, do you know?" ”

Song Zheng was almost confused by Huang Yuandu, and couldn't figure out what Huang Yuandu meant. However, he still replied cautiously, "I heard that he is a master of the Imperial City Division. ”

"The master of the Imperial City Division?" Huang Yuandu sneered again, "When did you Song Xiaolang become so kind-hearted and even give away such a big credit?" ”

Song Zheng's face changed, and he said secretly, he did this thing so secretly, except for telling Xu Mingxuan to know and telling Xiao Hui, he hadn't told anyone else, even the little emperor didn't know, why did Huang Yuandu know this? ~
