In the Chengtian Palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs are lined up on both sides.

Ye Yu, who did not go to court for three days, began to sit in the court and listen to the government lazily after shouting long live in the Qunchen Mountain.

"If you have something to do, you will retire from the court if you have nothing to do." Ye Yu habitually dusted off his yellow robe, and then casually glanced at the ministers in the hall.

As soon as the words fell, Wu Ting stepped forward with a wat board in his hand and started playing: "Your Majesty, I am marching towards the north to conquer the three-way army, and after pacifying the land of Jin and Xia, I will advance to the north in accordance with Your Majesty's order, and now I have recovered the ...... of the White Tatar Department and the Tatar Department of the steppe."

Recovery, Ye Yu heard this word, but he smiled inexplicably in his heart, in fact, to put it bluntly, how could it be nothing more than the invasion of expanding the territory?

But for this essential problem, Ye Yu didn't want to whitewash anything, a dark emperor like him, the merits and demerits should be left to future generations to evaluate.

At this time, Wu Ting's words suddenly changed, and he said solemnly: "However, the nomadic alien race has always been difficult to control, if the method of dividing troops to guard is carried out again, this is a heavy burden for our army, plus our army has been fighting bloody battles for many years, and the morale has gradually exhausted, and Weichen thinks that the Northern Expedition can be postponed!" ”

Wu Ting's performance was seconded by a group of generals.

Ye Yu glanced at Wu Ting, but did not respond directly, but fell on Jiang Fu's body: "Jiang Qing, what do you think?" ”

"The old minister thinks that what Lord Wu said is reasonable."

"Oh?"

Jiang Fu bowed forward and analyzed: "Your Majesty's intention to open up the foundation of the world is the luck of my great Song Guowei, but as Fang Cai Zhen Guogong said, our army has suffered huge losses in successive battles, and it is necessary to suspend the rest of the armament, so it is a long-term plan." ”

"Although there is a surplus of money and grain in the imperial treasury for many years, it can only support the large army, and now the Jianghuai disaster continues, which makes the dispatch of the imperial treasury stretched, so the old minister seconded the proposal!"

Jiang Fu is the head of the civil officials, and this seconding statement has been recognized by everyone.

Ye Yu looked down at the ministers silently, and then nodded: "The foundation of the country, the people's livelihood is the most important, the people do not exist, the country will be safe?" Just according to Wu Qing's performance, suspend the use of troops! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The civil and military ministers paused one after another, and said words of admiration.

Ye Yu just smiled at this, but he didn't get dazed because of this, and then said: "The Jianghuai disaster is very worried, and I hope that Jiang Qing will supervise this matter attentively." ”

"Yes!"

After the military and political affairs were discussed, at this time, a person went out of the court, and his words were not hurried: "The envoy of the Liao State arrived in the capital yesterday, I don't know when His Majesty summoned him?" ”

The person who played the words, Ye Yu can be said to be very familiar, and he is the place where Pan originated together in Qingliu County. Now Pan Zhi's place is already the official residence of the Ministry of Etiquette, and he is no longer the frustrated person in Fuzhou back then.

"There's no rush in this matter, just let them wait!"

"But ......"

Ye Yu stopped talking when he saw what Pan Zhi wanted, and then frowned slightly: "But what is it?" ”

"Now outside the Wanguo Pavilion, a large number of scholars and people in the capital have gathered, threatening to denounce the envoys of the Liao State, so that the envoys who entered Beijing this time are all in danger, so how to respond, please ask Your Majesty to show me."

"In response to what?" Ye Yu glanced at Pan Zhisuo, "This is the enthusiasm of the people of my court, and it is a rare way of hospitality, do you still need to respond to such hospitality?" ”

"Uh......"

Ye Yu's words blocked Pan Zhi and didn't know what to say, and even made the ministers present choke and want to laugh.

"Where is Lu You?"

"Wechen is here!"

Ye Yu shouted softly, and one person walked out at the end of the civil official, it was Yin Luyou of Kaifeng Mansion.

"I gave you three days, and now there will be results?"

Lu You hurriedly bowed, and his body trembled slightly and replied: "Weichen ......"

"Why, don't tell me, you haven't found anything in the past three days!"

"Back to Your Majesty, the thieves who committed the assassination, although they used all the torture and did not confess, but their appearance is not from our Central Plains, and they can speak fluent Khitan dialect, so Weichen thinks that these thieves must be sent by the Liao State!"

Seeing Lu You's sworn appearance, Ye Yu directly asked, "How can you see it?" ”

"My Great Song Dynasty and the Tubo tribe joined forces to attack the Liao State, and they already had the advantage in the battle situation. In order to alleviate the decline of the country, the Liao State openly called himself a vassal with his relatives, but secretly used despicable means such as assassination, and his intention was to cause chaos within my Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Oh, that's what you think?"

"Uh...... We-Chen......"

Lu You's forehead was sweating and he looked ashamed, in fact, even he felt that this rhetorical analysis was full of loopholes. If he writes poetry, he is a good hand, but solving cases is really not his specialty.

He just wanted to say that he was incompetent, but suddenly heard Ye Yu speak: "If you have clues and goals, then continue to investigate, Pan Shangshu." ”

"Wechen is here!"

"Since this matter involves diplomatic relations between the two countries, this matter will be handled by the two of you. I need a reasonable explanation for this! ”

"Minister...... Obey! ”

Although Pan Zhisuo looked suspicious, he didn't ask in detail, and seemed to understand the deep meaning of Ye Yu's words.

Compared with Pan Zhisuo's doubts, Lu You was even more surprised, obviously this result was beyond his expectations. However, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, and after receiving the decree with Pan, he silently retreated.

Subsequently, above the court, there was a discussion on the progress of the recent detailed rules for the civil and military examinations.

This imperial examination is different from the past, in addition to attaching importance to martial arts, a lot of changes have also been made to the literary examination.

Many people define this imperial examination as a new imperial examination because it is very different from the imperial examination inherited from the Sui Dynasty.

The imperial examinations developed in the Sui and Tang dynasties, in terms of the selection of scholars in the literary examinations, are mainly divided into economics, law, arithmetic, and jinshi (practical papers).

However, due to the prevalence of the literati entering the ranks, the only thing that the imperial court admired was the Jinshi Branch, which was the so-called paper article and poem to determine the future.

Although the imperial court still took scholars in other subjects, it was also in the embarrassing situation of not paying attention to it.

This year's imperial examination not only changed this pattern, but also added a lot of examination subjects, making the imperial court more diversified, and undoubtedly increasing the difficulty.

Jinshike is still retained, and on top of retaining the original specifications, it is divided into two systems: literature and history, and officials.

In addition to the content of the original Jinshi scientific examination, the subjects examined have added human geography and criminal law litigation to the official system.

In addition to the Jinshi department, there is another science and engineering department in the literary examination.

Science and engineering are also divided into two systems: science and technology, science can not be strict with scriptures and texts, but for arithmetic, physics, drawing, economics and other theoretical subjects, there are quite strict requirements.

As for technicians, in addition to the symbolic assessment of candidates' cultural knowledge, the focus is on assessing candidates' abilities in arithmetic, civil engineering, water conservancy, medicine, exploration, design, construction, etc.

Wenju is roughly divided into two subjects: Jinshi and science and engineering, and Wuju is also divided into two systems: martial strategy and military strategy. (. Just Love)
