Huang Qi replied with a smile: "Lord Guogong is too polite, in fact, the lower officials can go by themselves." He said no, but he was still very satisfied with Gong Guogong's arrangement.

Immediately got up and saluted and said with a smile: "There is a lot of trouble, the lower official will leave first." ”

Yang Cunzhong got up to see him off, and replied: "Lord Huang walks slowly, if you need the assistance of the front division of the palace in the future, just send someone to ventilate, you don't have to run all the way back and forth." ”

"Thank you, Lord Kokuto."

After Huang Qi thanked him again, he quickly left the palace with the lieutenant and commanded the yamen.

Yang Cunzhong sat down after returning to the bookcase, and thoughts surged in his heart.

As the chamberlain Huang said, if Yang Congyi can gain his trust, then Yang Congyi should have no problems before returning to the Great Song Dynasty from overseas, except for the purchase of useless goods. But Lord Huang didn't say anything about Yang Congyi's experience after returning to the Great Song Dynasty, obviously he didn't continue to pay attention, since August last year, will there be a problem?

Listening to Lord Huang, Yang Congyi went to sea with the ship and led the Xuanwei army to win several battles, but the barbarian overseas combat power was low, I am afraid that any Great Song army could easily win battles in the past, so this does not show how clever he is and how good he is at fighting, it can only be said that he is not afraid of fighting, or that he wants to fight. This also confirms that he himself said that he wants to make a contribution on the battlefield.

But whether he is trustworthy or not, we have to find out what he has been doing in the past year, and then we can't say if the young people who are eager to make contributions are most easily tempted by profits, and whether there will be problems after returning from the sea, no one can say without enough information.

Let's wait until we find out useful news, but this young man with the same surname is really worth paying attention to.

There are still many things to deal with in the front of the palace, and if he wants to make up his mind, Yang Cunzhong quickly forgot about Yang Congyi.

It is said that after Yang Congyi returned to the military case, he continued to do the work of reviewing meritorious deeds as if he had nothing to do, writing his opinions on the meritorious documents reported by the commanders of each army one by one, and leaving his name and date.

During this period, Sun Miao asked Yang Congyi what happened when he was called out for a long time, he did not hide it, and told him bluntly, saying that it was the envoy of the former division of the palace who asked him about the meritorious verification, but he didn't say much else.

Sun Miao saw that Yang Congyi didn't want to reveal more, so he no longer asked uninterestingly.

Petty officials in green like them rarely have the opportunity to meet the commanders, and some of them have even been officials in front of the palace for more than ten years, and they have never seen them with their own eyes.

In Sun Miao's opinion, Yang Congyi was lucky, after all, he had only come to the palace for less than three months.

But it's not really lucky, Sun Miao doesn't know, and Yang Congyi himself doesn't know.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been busy, and suddenly a guard came to report.

"Lord Sun, Lord Yang, Lord Bing, please!"

When Sun Miao heard this, he was slightly surprised, but Yang Congyi didn't feel strange, Master Zhang was called to command the yamen, there must be something important, and now he will definitely have to explain or arrange it when he comes back.

As soon as they entered the military office, Lord Zhang ordered the two to sit down.

As soon as I sat down, I listened to Lord Zhang: "Just now I went to the Yamen, and I commanded the envoy to hand over a major matter to the soldiers, so we must complete it." At present, the rest of the things can be put aside for a while, and the military case must be done with all its might! ”

"I don't know what's the big deal?" Sun Miao couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

Yang Congyi sat there without saying a word, he is a newcomer to the front division of the palace, no matter what the big thing, it is not his turn to call the shots, he just needs to assist well, anyway, everything has been decided, they only need to go through the motions, or comprehend the spiritual execution, through this merit verification, he has already seen the operation mode of the front division of the palace.

Master Zhang said with a heavy heart: "This time, we are responsible for selecting a group of young outstanding generals and colonels, this matter is simple to say, but the commander has put forward four requirements. The first is that the selected person must be under the age of 30, the second is that he must have been on the battlefield and fought in a war, the third is that he must be innocent, and the fourth is that he must be brave and brave. In addition, there is another one, which must be as fair as the roll call outside the Donghua Gate! ”

"It doesn't seem to be difficult, just choose from the generals and colonies according to these four conditions." Sun Miao said, it was originally a very simple errand, why did Lord Zhang say how difficult it was.

Master Zhang shook his head and said: "You don't know, there are not many people under the age of thirty who have fought on the battlefield, and there are even fewer who are still serving as generals and colonels, and the most important thing is fairness, as fair as the roll call outside the Donghua Gate." It is not difficult to select people, but the difficulty lies in fairness, there are not many absolutely fair things in the world, and the selection of a group of generals and colonels is likely to be promoted and reused, and the whole army has not fought for many years, and there are no military exploits, and this rare opportunity for promotion is bound to be popular with everyone, and those who are selected are naturally easy to say, and those who cannot be selected must have complaints and feel that the military case is unfair. If they feel that it is unfair and make trouble, then our selection will be a failure, and this is the difficulty. ”

"Fair? How can there be such a fair thing? The number of places is limited, and if there are those who are selected, there will always be those who cannot be selected, and everyone cannot be selected! Isn't this a bit harsh? Sun Miao understood the difficulty, and immediately felt that it was impossible to do it.

Zhang Dadao: "In addition, there is another request, the commander hopes that we can carry out the big education and the selection of outstanding generals at the same time, and combine the two things to do it well." ”

"How is this possible? We are already short of manpower in our military cases, so how can we have the energy to select generals and colonels when organizing the teaching and parade of various military universities; these two things are mixed together, and they are as complicated as they are, and it is impossible to complete them even if they think about it. My lord go and talk to the commander, don't lower your requirements, this errand can't be done! Sun Miao shook her head and sighed again and again, didn't she mean to embarrass them?

"I'm calling you here to figure out how to solve the problem, not to complain. I have already mentioned what I should say to the Commander, and this is the final requirement and cannot be changed. Think about how to do it, and come up with the charter in three days! Lord Zhang was also a little annoyed by Sun Miao's words.

"I can't do it, I can't do it, whoever wants to do it can do it, whoever can do it can do it, anyway, I can't." Sun Miao directly picked his son and quit, his meaning was very clear, if he didn't change his requirements, what should happen to this matter was none of his business.

Master Zhang was directly speechless by his anger.

can serve in the front division of the palace, who has no background, who has no background, even if Master Zhang is one level higher, can he still remove Sun Miao's official position?

Of course, he can't withdraw it, because the official appointment is not under his control, even if he has nothing to do with the annual assessment, so no matter how Sun Miao doesn't cooperate, he can't do anything now, he can only endure it.

The strange atmosphere lasted for a while, and Lord Zhang calmed down and suddenly said, "Secretary Yang, in your opinion, is there any way to solve this matter?" ”

Yang Congyi didn't answer immediately, and only after a little rest did he slowly reply: "My lord, the lower officials think that we have to start with fairness in this matter. ”

"Huh? Go on. Zhang Daren moved, looked at the other party seriously, and seemed to be very concerned about his words.

Yang Congyi continued: "Xiaguan thinks so, since it wants to be fair, as fair as the roll call outside the Donghua Gate, then we will prepare for a grand exam, all the generals who meet the age, origin and experience can participate, and select the generals who need it through an exam." We can ......."

"Secretary Yang, this is the selection of generals, not the top exam, what does the exam look like!" Who knew that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Miao's words.

Master Zhang also frowned, it is really inappropriate to use the examination to select the general school, there are not many literate people in the army, and the family letter is not written well, how can he write the answer sheet like the imperial examination? If this is the case, then what kind of system will it become, or should you choose a general school?

I have objections in my heart, and I don't want to listen to it anymore, but Sun Miao is a dismantling goods, and he doesn't want to think about the problems in front of him at all, Yang Congyi has a good attitude and is worthy of encouragement, although the proposal is unreliable and not feasible, but it can't discourage his enthusiasm to solve the problem.

So he asked very seriously: "If you want to prepare for an exam, what kind of questions should I ask?" Focusing on that military book, how many questions do you have? What if there are too many illiterate people? ”

Yang Congyi suddenly smiled and replied, "Adults will be mistaken." The exam that the lower officials said was not to answer on paper, but to prepare for a practical exam. ”

"Actual combat? How is a practical method? As soon as Mr. Zhang heard that he was not writing to answer, he immediately became interested and hurriedly asked.

Yang Congyi replied: "We can choose a place and arrange the next army, and then notify the whole army of the four-point requirements for selecting generals and colonels, and let them select a commander or several teams of people according to the requirements, and go to the place where we arrange the army within a certain period of time, where a real combat confrontation will be launched, and if they win or perform well, they will be able to pass the selection, and if they lose or perform too poorly, they have nothing to say." This examination is a balance between fairness and great teaching, and if it can be completed, it should be able to meet the requirements of the Commander-in-Chief. ”

After saying this, Master Zhang didn't understand it for a while, sat and thought about it, there was no interface.

But Sun Miao said: "Let all the armies go to the same place? Secretary Yang thinks that this is a war, each army has its own station, and it can be moved? We are the front secretary of the palace here, not the Privy Council, or the Privy Council can move the garrison at will, let alone the whole army. In this regard, this so-called exam is not feasible, let alone any actual combat, who is responsible for casualties? Have you ever thought about these Secretary Yang? ”

Yang Congyi didn't reply, he knew that Master Sun was not in the right mood today, so he didn't want to argue with him.

Master Zhang thought about it for a while, as if he had figured out some questions, and only heard him say: "Whether we can transfer or not is not something we consider, we have to coordinate it from above." But how is this actual confrontation a tactic? Is it really necessary for two armies to attack each other? ”
