When the imperial list was released, the six Shangshu and the Privy Council were busy, but he, the emperor, was bored, but he was very idle, and the only thing that needed to be paid attention to was the progress of the implementation of the law changes in various places. It's just getting started, and it's going to be troublesome to implement, but it's his will, and even if those people don't want to, they don't dare to go too far.

The road to change the law and strengthen the country is the only way to go, and it is also the only way to bring the Great Song Dynasty out of the predicament. In addition, Zhao Gou is also slowly changing the thinking of the Chinese people to emphasize literature and suppress the military, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are no longer the monopoly of the Wenchen family, and Zhao Gou let the military generals take charge of real power for the first time.

Zhao Gou's move surprised the ministers of the court, since the policy formulated by Emperor Taizu, no one dared to let the military generals take real power, especially in this special situation. Everyone said that this matter was inappropriate, but Zhao Gou didn't think so.

Among Wang Anshi's strategy of changing the law, there is the idea of strengthening the army. Zhao Gou also agreed very much, he divided the 20th army into four parts, and handed them over to Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong and other four people for training, and proved his determination with his actions, and these people were under their command.

At the same time, the 200,000 troops also rushed to the front line, and Zhao Gou issued a holy decree that until the last resort, he would not fight a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers, and adopt the method of defense as the main and attack as the supplement. In addition, Zhao Gou also cleared all the moths in the four generals, and what he wanted was a disciplined, loyal and patriotic iron-blooded soldier.

Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and other four people were awarded the title of general, and gave them real power, after receiving Zhao Gou's will, they immediately began to investigate, and really found that there were people in the army who privately withheld military salaries, and even accepted bribes, and there were people who filled their pockets, all of whom were eliminated, expelled from the army, and never hired, a total of 10,000 people.

When these people were sent back, they were also a waste of food, either stealing and pickpocketing, or eating and drinking, rampant, or lazy, etc., and finally Zhao Gou simply compiled all these people together, and directly distributed them to fill the army, and handed over all the hardest and most tiring work to them, and the hard work of moving bricks was also borne by them, even if they were unwilling and did not dare to have any complaints.

As long as they do things well, they will not be treated badly, which makes those who want to make trouble alone, and it is difficult to make trouble, and in the end, it will be over.

"Your Majesty, the self-recommended articles of these people are quite interesting, and I have discussed with you to decide how many of them will face the saints, and the emperor will personally evaluate them."

Zhao Gou took the list and took their articles to take a look, and he also thought it was good. Unlike those who read books, the words are pompous, and they are not just words. Zhao Gou ordered Mao to recommend himself, and he had to apply in writing, including how to deal with the relationship between Song and Jin, and how to make the country rich and strong.

The Privy Council envoy and the six Shangshu are desperately sifting through these days, some of them are simply nonsense and have no effect, and some even mention words such as seeking peace, all of which have been vetoed by Zhao Gou. In addition, Zhao Gou also gave those who practiced martial arts the opportunity to let them pass the assessment set by the local government, and then report to the imperial court, and enter the palace to be personally evaluated by him.

Zhao Gou nodded and agreed, since the imperial examination has not yet opened, this time the imperial list can be regarded as the same as opening Enke. Those who are really talented in the Great Song Dynasty, but who have been rejected from the government, have a chance, a rare opportunity, they desperately want to show themselves, and those who are already above the officialdom, but they are covered with pearls, this is also their opportunity, how can they miss it.

Every day, the Privy Council, the Sixth Ministry, and other departments have to process hundreds of articles and have to sift through them, which makes them have a lot of work. Even so, they enjoyed it; At the same time, Zhao Gou sent them out to the eight provinces one after another, and gave them the sword of Shang Fang, supervising the hundred officials in the world for him, and those who were wronged and aggrieved could also get the opportunity to avenge their grievances.

A few days later, all those who received the notice from the officials gathered in Bianjing City, and arranged for these people to live in the post station, and then meet the emperor when they were full of energy.

This time, except for those very poor children, all of the expenses were borne by the imperial court, and the others were seventy percent, and the imperial court reimbursed thirty percent. Even if he is a talented person, if he lives a poor life, let alone going to Beijing, it is difficult to even go out, and Zhao Gou does not want to miss the person who is really talented and learns.

The next day, Zhao Gou sent an order for them all to wait in the Chongming Palace. When everyone saw the emperor, they couldn't lose their manners, but there was one person who was ragged, unkempt, and different. Those who pretend to be high and high, and do not want to deal with him, and he has a sword at his waist, and he must be a person who learns martial arts.

"The emperor has arrived!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Everyone bowed down to greet Zhao Gou's words.

Zhao Gou smiled: "No courtesy!" Today, there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers here, as long as you have the ability, you can speak freely, whether it is right or wrong, as long as you show your due talent or martial arts. You will sit down first, and then come forward when you have your name called. ”

"How many people did you get this time? Have they all arrived? ”

"All of them have arrived, twenty people in all!" Pan Lianggui saw Zhao Gou asking, and he hurriedly replied.

Zhao Gou nodded, then took out the roster and said, "Yuwen Xuzhong!" ”

"Wechen is here!" It was a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old who spoke, and I saw him wearing court clothes and standing up respectfully.

Zhao Gou said: "You are a Jinshi of Daguan for three years? ”

"Back to the emperor, Weichen is a Jinshi of Daguan for three years!" Yuwen said respectfully.

"I've read your article, it's sharp, it's indomitable, it's very good!" Zhao Gou praised, "You are already serving in the court, but you are just a scholar in the middle school." Since you have practical knowledge, then you will be promoted to a senior scholar. ”

"Weichen Xie Emperor Longen!" Yuwen Xuzhong thought that Zhao Gou would have a lot of problems to study, but he didn't expect to be promoted so simply, which made him a little surprised, and then Zhao Gou let him go down again.

"Where is Zhang Shao?"

"Wechen is here!"

"I have promoted Aiqing to a scholar of Longtu Pavilion!" Zhao Gou didn't ask, and directly conferred Zhang Shao's official position, just because Zhang Shao was originally also the criminal Cao Shi of Quzhou, and he had also seen his political achievements, so he was indeed promoted, so he was directly promoted like Yuwen Xuzhong.

At the same time, Cui Zong, Hong Hao, Zhao Ding, He Zhu, Li Guang and other ten people are also in the same situation as the two of them, they are all from Jinshi. It's just that they are all depressed, and they just took this opportunity to get ahead, so Zhao Gou didn't pay attention to anything, and was directly promoted to the third rank on the basis of his original official position, or a fourth-grade official.

"Han Xiaoxuan!"

"The grass people are here!"

"Your great-grandfather and grandfather were both prime ministers of the DPRK and China, and I was also taught by you." Zhao Gou looked at Han Xiaoxuan with a smile, when he gave up martial arts to gain fame from the literary examination, he once went to the Han Academy to study, Han Xiaoxuan once taught, and he can be regarded as half of Zhao Gou's teacher.

Han Xiaoxuan was born in a famous family, and Zhao Gou also knew that he did have real talent and learning, and he was truly patriotic, and he had also heard him comment on the policy shortcomings of the Huizong period, and he knew a little bit about his details, so he was directly awarded the title to the prefect of Xiangzhou.

In addition, there are several other people who are also from famous families like Han Xiaoxuan, and Zhao Gou has also been awarded official positions one by one.

"Li Shifu!"

"The grass people are here!"

"Are you from a martial arts background?"

Zhao Gou saw that Li Shifu's clothes were tattered and unkempt, and it was still difficult to hide the light in his eyes, that was only a person who practiced martial arts, and he also knew Li Shifu's background, which had already been investigated, and he also knew the purpose of his visit this time, but Zhao Gou still had to try his skills and strategies.

"Back to the emperor, the grass people have been practicing martial arts since childhood!" Li Shifu replied respectfully.

"In that case, why don't you sign up for the army?"

"It's not that the grass people are unwilling, but they missed the registration time, and they have no choice but to enter the pilgrimage." Li Shifu's clothes were in tatters, that was after he experienced a fight, he didn't have complete clothes to wear, so he could only come like this, his father was killed by Jin Bing, and he also participated in the battle of Gubeikou, but he was captured, and then he finally escaped.

Zhao Gou also knew about this matter, because Li Shifu came on his own recommendation, but someone else recommended him, and this person was Wu Jue. Because Wu Jue had some friendship with him, he knew about him, and he also reported all these to Zhao Gou. Even though the general has the power to recruit himself, he still needs to explain the situation to the emperor.

Zhao Gou studied Li Shifu's strategy, as well as some questions about the marching formation, Li Shifu answered them one by one, he had already memorized these by heart, and his father was originally a general, under the influence of hearing and seeing, he also knew how to be flexible, and even Li Gang, the secretary of the military department, nodded appreciatively.

After the strategy test is over, then study your skills and fight against him by Gao Pet. Unexpectedly, Li Shifu went through a hundred moves in the all-out high favor. Zhao Gou, Gao Chong, Li Gang, Zhao Yougong and others all saw that his offensive was real, so they were relieved, and they were directly awarded the command by Zhao Gou, and they also followed his own wishes and let him go to the front line to fight.

There are a few people next, this is the focus of this palace test, and there are also the objects of Zhao Gou's key observations, that person really wants to see if it is as recorded in history. If that is the case, then the danger is strangled in the cradle; If it's better to be famous than to meet, then stay for later.
