Soon, Huang Shimi, the two traitor prime ministers of the "Great Southern Kingdom", and their brother Huang Wei came to the Great Southern Palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now Huang Shimi and Huang Wei are the most important think tanks of the "Great Southern Kingdom" emperor Nong Zhigao. It is precisely because of their advice and strategy that Nong Zhigao's army has won many battles and victories.

Among the two, Huang Shimi, in particular, is the most resourceful, and it is also because he is more capable, so although he is a little younger, he is the left prime minister, above his brother Huang Wei, the right prime minister.

Huang Shimi is a Han Chinese, his ancestral home is Guang~zhou, and it is said that he was born as a scholar. He once participated in the Guangzhou examination, and after being dismissed, he entered Beijing to participate in the scientific examination of Jing You's five-year Wuyin Branch, and successfully passed the provincial examination held by the Ministry of Rites.

But although he passed the provincial examination, he failed in the last link of the imperial examination, the palace examination.

In the imperial examination system before the Qing Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty, those who passed the provincial examination may not necessarily be able to become a jinshi, because in the palace examination, there is also an elimination mechanism! That is, even if the person who takes the exam passes the provincial examination, but after entering the palace examination, if he does not get the top several in the exam, he will be eliminated from the last place.

This also means that if a candidate fails the palace exam, then everything has to start all over again! You are still a white body, and you still need to retake the solution test, retake the provincial test, and retake the palace test, which is very depressing.

This is more cruel than the imperial examination system in the later Ming and Qing dynasties, where children, talents, and people are all permanently famous, and this system is very cruel to those unfortunate palace test halberds.

This Huang Shimi finally passed five levels and cut six generals, passed the understanding test, passed the provincial test, but fell in the final palace test, everything has to start all over again, naturally he is also quite indignant.

However, speaking of which, he is not the biggest victim of the elimination of the palace test, his role model at this time, Zhang Yuan, who took refuge in Western Xia to achieve a high position as the prime minister, has entered the palace test three times and was eliminated three times, which is several times worse than him.

In fact, in the Baoyuan period, Zhang Yuan, who entered the palace test three times and was eliminated three times, defected to the Western Xia because of frustration, and instigated Li Yuanhao to rebel against the Song Dynasty and establish himself. The elimination system of the temple examination was abolished. All those who entered the palace examination were awarded jinshi, and even the same jinshi was created to avoid the treason of the frustrated literati in the Great Song Dynasty.

From then on, as long as the people have passed the provincial examination, they will have at least one of the top three with the Jinshi background, so that they will not be beaten back to their original form, and everything will start all over again. From now on, the palace examination will only be used as an examination to rank the new scholars, and it will not eliminate the juzi.

But since the palace test was eliminated, this Huang Shimi has not even passed a single test, let alone the provincial test and the palace test, which can't help but make him even more depressed and dissatisfied with the Great Song Dynasty, and finally make him embark on a road against the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhang Yuan in the Jingyou period entered the palace test three times, and after being eliminated three times, he thought that the Song Dynasty could not stretch his talents, so he was resentful, so he left the Great Song Dynasty to seek refuge in the Western Xia, and instigated the Western Xia King Yuanhao to rebel against the Song Dynasty and claim the emperor, and offered a plan to contact the Liao people, and the two sides attacked, trying to occupy the Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hebei areas of the Song Dynasty, and finally participated in the command and planning of the famous battle of Haoshuichuan between the Song and Xia.

After the battle of Haoshuichuan, the Song army was broken by the Western Xia army, more than 10,000 corpses, more than 70,000 wounded, heavy losses, Zhang Yuan deliberately came to the battlefield of Haoshuichuan after the war, happily looking at the corpses of the same clan in a pool of blood, a kind of pleasure of revenge, spontaneously. Zhang Yuantoe proudly inscribed a poem on the wall of Jieshang Temple: "Xia Zhu He has shrugged, Han Qi is not surprised." The dragon and tiger in the river are still talking about military aircraft. And at the end of the poem, the inscription ridiculed Xia Zhu and Han Qi of Shaanxi at that time, and wrote a large list of official titles when he signed it: "Taishi, Shangshu Ling, and Zhongshu Ling Zhang Yuan are here with the big driver." ”

Generally, when the Song people read this historical event, they were indignant, but Huang Shimi, who was dissatisfied, read it with a yearning heart.

Therefore, Huang Shimi took Zhang Yuan as an example, holding that people can't do nothing, have no name, and if they can't live for generations, they should be left stinky for thousands of years, and they want to do something big.

So he and his brother fled to the Nong territory in Guangyuan Prefecture to help Nong Zhigao reorganize the army and govern the people, and finally instigated Nong Zhigao to embark on the road of rebellion.

Nong Zhigao "can belong to the literature, try to raise the jinshi, not the first". It is said that Nong Zhigao also passed the exam and went to Tokyo to take the provincial exam, but he never passed the exam, but he was half of his studies. Therefore, seeing that there was a scholar of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was still a scholar who had participated in the palace examination, he was also ecstatic to come to himself, and he also attached great importance to Huang Shimi.

The treatment and power of civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty are extremely high, and the entire Great Song Dynasty is famous for reading, and the Donghua Gate is the most glorious. Although Nong Zhigao is only an ethnic minority in the Great Song Dynasty, he is also very envious and yearning for this Great Song Dynasty civil official, so he has also participated in scientific examinations.

However, although Nong Zhigao is known as "able to belong to the text" and has passed the solution, it is actually just a rough pen and ink. The Great Song Dynasty's solution test was held separately in each state, and each state raised its own solution from its own state, although Guangyuan Prefecture was only a fetter state, but there was also a solution quota! Nong Zhigao wants this place, and naturally no one dares to compete with him, of course, Guangyuan Prefecture is located in a remote and backward area, not to mention that it is a reader, and there are few who can read.

Nong Zhigao himself participated in the provincial test and returned, and he also knew the ability of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty, so he still respected the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty. Huang Shimi's reorganization of the army and the rule of the people is quite lawful, so he quickly won the trust of Nong Zhigao, almost to the point of obeying his words.

It was under the constant instigation and planning of Huang Shimi's brothers that Nong Zhigao brazenly raised troops and did not attack the Jiaozhi country, which had a grudge against him to kill his father, but poured the country's troops into the Great Song Dynasty.

In Huang Shimi's brothers, they are from Guangzhou~Zhou, and it is said that it was under the vanity of returning to their hometown that Huang Shimi asked Nong Zhigao to attack the strong city of Guang~Zhoucheng, which was not within their strategy! Fortunately, Guang~Zhou finally held on, otherwise, maybe Huang Shimi would be the same as Zhang Yuan, and there would be a farce of "Guang~Zhou Revenge Poetry".

………………

Huang Shimi and Huang Wei, the two "prime ministers", came to the main hall, and after listening to Nong Zhigao say that Kunlun Pass was lost and he wanted to lead the army to attack, he couldn't help but remind Nong Zhigao that the enemy they faced this time was Di Qing, the "General of Face Nirvana", who was known as the god of war of the Great Song Dynasty, and he must be cautious.

???? Nong Zhigao said disdainfully: "These Song people are good at bragging, and they blew the Yang family general to the sky at the beginning, but in the end, Yang Ji couldn't help it?" ”

Today's Nong Zhigao does have proud capital, since the beginning of the army, more than 30 battles, although there are also hard battles, but the final victory has never been left behind.

Huang Shimi said: "Your Majesty can't be careless, Di Qing, who came to lead the troops this time, is known as the 'First God of War of the Great Song Dynasty', and the Western Army under his command is also said to be very powerful, not to be underestimated, and it also needs to be considered in the long term and strive to be safe!" ”

Nong Zhigao waved his hand indifferently and said, "Isn't Yang Ji still known as the 'First Confucian General of the Great Song Dynasty'?" It's not like a piece of tofu, and I can't help but blow it. These bird titles are all blown out by those Song people, and they are not to be believed! ”

After Huang Wei also saluted Nong Zhigao, he said: "Then Yang Zhen brought all the Lingnan soldiers, but the elite of the Western Army led by Di Qing is not the same, so you still have to pay more attention." ”

Nong Zhigao said aloud indifferently: "The Great Song Western Army was blown out, and it is estimated that it is also like the Song soldiers in Liangguang, otherwise it would not have been beaten so badly by the Xia Army in the west." As for the "General Face", I guess most of them are "noodles"! ”

Nong Zhigao had also heard of the Western Army, but the Western military deeds he heard about were basically negative, basically the deeds of being abused by the Song Army and the Xia Army. In fact, according to Nong Zhigao's temperament, he didn't plan to shrink his defense so cautiously, he planned to give Di Qing another time like he did to Yang Jin.

???? Huang Shimi and Huang Wei, the prime ministers on the left and right, think about it, they are all southerners, they have only seen the Song army as rotten as mud since they were children, and they have never seen any powerful Song army, so they dare to encourage Nong Zhigao to rebel.

The reason why Nong Zhigao planned to shrink the defense was mainly because he heard the legend of the people from the north that the Western Army was a little powerful. At this time, after listening to Nong Zhigao's remarks, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: It is estimated that the strength of the Western Army is also bragged by the Great Song Dynasty. Those Lingnan troops were all defeated in the hands of Nong Zhigao, and it is estimated that this Western Army cannot be the opponent of this tiger and wolf Nong Zhigao.

???? What's more, today's Nong Zhigao army is not what it used to be. Their current founding emperor of the Great Southern Kingdom already has an army of 50,000 under his command. And their troops are no longer unclothed savages in the mountains and forests, they have uniform uniforms and weapons.

Well, of course, these uniforms and weapons are all from the arsenal of the Great Song Prefecture County.

However, the standard weapons and equipment of the Great Song Dynasty are indeed sharp and strong, and they are a hundred times better than the equipment of the forbidden army of the Jiaozhi country. Nowadays, most of the "Great Southern" armies are equipped with the standard weapons and equipment of the Great Song Dynasty, which are no longer what they used to be.

???? Thinking of this, the two traitor prime ministers were also instigated by Nong Zhigao's words, and they suddenly felt full of pride.

Then, as we have done several times before, let our armies be mounted and assembled, and go and destroy once again all those who dare to oppose us!

??? Huang Shimi immediately stepped forward and asked for orders: "Since Your Majesty is determined to go to war, Weichen is willing to lead the army to fight, and defeat the Song army in a battle, capture the 'pinched general', and send it down by Your Majesty!" ”

Nong Zhigao was also full of pride at this time, and said loudly: "No, this time I will personally take charge, and the prime minister, you will sit in Yongzhou and guard the family business for me!" ”

Huang Wei stepped forward at this time and said: "Then Weichen will go out with His Majesty and let Liulang sit in the rear!" "The six lang in Huang Wei's mouth is Huang Shimi, Huang Shimi is six in the clan, and he is called so by his brother.

Nong Zhigao listened, and nodded in agreement. Huang Shimi's literary talent and martial arts strategy can stand alone, with him sitting in Yongzhou, and Huang Wei accompanying him to fight, which is a very reasonable arrangement.

"Then the right prime minister will attack with me, and there will be a left prime minister in Yongzhou City!"
