Because of the presence of Lu Jiang and others, Lin Feng and Han Xizai did not have an in-depth conversation.

After a while, Han Xizai said that he had run a lot of places today and was already very tired, and offered to leave. Lin Feng suddenly understood that Lao Han was telling himself that he had completed the important task of "connecting privately" to reassure himself.

Lin Feng nodded, indicating that he understood, and then politely sent Old Han out of the country with Lu Jiang and the others.

Seeing Han Xizai disappear into the night in the carriage, Lin Feng took advantage of a few forbidden soldiers who were far away from him, and whispered to the three people behind him at the moment of turning around: "Don't worry, there should be no accidents!" ”

Lu Jiang and the three of them looked happy, and they were about to hide their joy, and bowed to Lin Feng to say goodbye.

Lin Feng stretched out his hand to stop them, raised his voice and said, "By the way, from tomorrow, King Zheng may come to the mansion to go to the new village in the west of the city with Yaya, if you have nothing to do, follow along!" ”

"Obey the teacher's orders!" Lu Jiang and the three of them bowed deeply in response, hiding their ecstatic expressions by the way. Lin Feng opened up a platform for them to enter the office, and held a line for them to coexist with the current King Zheng, which will naturally be of great benefit to their future development.

Lin Feng returned to the study, still leaned under the candle, and continued to read and write.

On July 28, the eighth year of Baoda (950 AD), the fifth day of the ceremony. When there were not many people staying outside the Jinling School Palace, and the excitement was no longer there, the Zhidao Zhai in the School Palace began to become lively, because it had entered the critical moment of the final evaluation of the answer sheet and the decision to stay or give up.

Although it was early in the morning, the sunlight that had become a little hot was slanting in, and the whole Shidosai was brightly reflected. Under the window on the east side, ten examiners sat in a circle that was not square or round, and in the middle of the circle were two bookcases, one desk with four stacks of manuscripts placed separately, and the other desk with three stacks.

Situ Zhouzong pointed to the manuscript on the bookcase, coughed lightly, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have worked hard these days!" Now, all the answers have been reviewed. The four stacks on the left are the first three answer sheets of the ten recruitment questions circled by the adults, as well as other content answer sheets, which are twenty-seven, nineteen, twelve, and four respectively. The three stacks on the right are the answer sheets with a higher overall score without circles, and 10 copies of each question are selected. Today, the main purpose is to evaluate the 92 answer sheets at the last end, and press the final selected answer sheets to about 30. ”

The selection method is still proposed by Lin Feng, the administrative officer reads the answer outline on the spot, everyone votes by a show of hands, and the nine deputy examiners and more than five supporters are passed, otherwise they will be defeated. The chief examiner, Situ Zhouzong, has one vote to decide.

The selection naturally starts with the three stacks of uncircled answer sheets on the right. The evaluation of this part was very fast, and it was all done in one morning. These are basically mediocre answers on the whole, except for some parts of the answer sheet with fresh ideas, and in the end, only two answer sheets on state diplomacy and one answer sheet on commercial and agricultural relations have passed the "repechage race" and have been moved to the same kind of circle answer sheets.

As soon as the afternoon assessment began, the atmosphere in Shidaozhai immediately became lively, and there was also a hint of tension.

Because the number of copies was the least, and it deviated from the topic, the four circled answer sheets were first put on the "life and death examination room". Coincidentally, the first one is "On the Role and Significance of the Qing Yuan Army", which was drawn by Lin Feng alone, and as soon as the affairs officer finished reading the outline, Wei Cen, the deputy privy envoy, piled out a sentence: "This article is pure nonsense!" ”

Lin Feng was not happy, and got up and made a circle: "Ladies and gentlemen, this circle was painted by Lin!" Lin insisted that this was a rare sober work, which can be described as insightful! ”

Seeing that Wei Cen kept snorting, and no one else at the scene said a word, Zhou Zong had no choice but to ease the situation and asked softly, "Then please ask Lord Lin to solve our doubts." ”

"The reason for the sharp decline of the former Sui is of course due to political, economic and other reasons, but the most undeniable key turning point is that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent troops to crusade against Korea three times, and lost all three wars, which cost the people and money, and greatly damaged the national strength. It was after the third defeat that the Sui Dynasty began to change internally, and thus quickly slipped into the road of destruction. Therefore, North Korea is a strategic trap for the Sui Dynasty, and it is by no means a great opportunity for the Sui Yang Emperor to insist on prestige overseas! If we assume that without these three battles in Korea, would the Great Sui have declined so quickly? Lin Feng raised his voice and said, a sonorous and powerful voice echoing in Zhidao Zhai.

Speaking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but think of the DPRK in later generations, isn't that rogue country relying on the selfless protection of our country, doing whatever it wants, stirring up wind and rain, and is gradually becoming a strategic trap for the rise of China? Ignoring history, this small country on the peninsula resolutely denies that since the Shang Dynasty minister Jizi led 5,000 remnants of the Shang Dynasty to move eastward to the Korean Peninsula and united with the indigenous people to establish the "Ji Princes", this has actually been a part of the historical fact of China! What he has done since the so-called founding of Goguryeo has always confirmed a truth: his wolf and thief heart has never changed!

Situ Zhouzong, the privy deputy envoy Chang Mengxi, the chief doctor Shi Xubai and others nodded one after another.

"Look at the Qingyuan Army again. Let's close the door and tell the truth, does it really belong to our Datang? Lin Feng looked around, and glared at Wei Cen viciously, forcing Wei Cen's eyes to dodge.

"It's not! As a local temperance envoy who has his own force and listens to propaganda and does not listen to tunes, it is not now, and it will not be in the future! Lin Feng raised his voice again, his tone was even more unquestionable, his right hand pointed to the southeast direction of the Qingyuan Army, and continued, "The position of the Qingyuan Army is very fatal, its small piece of projectile land, the right hand pulls Wu Yue, who is always watching us, and the left hand pulls the Southern Han Dynasty, which is not far from us, and the front directly blocks the other side of my Datang's way to the sea, and together with the surrounding countries, we are packed into an extremely strong and impermeable bag, which hinders our future development space!" ”

Lin Feng's hand clicked continuously in the air, drawing a map of the territory of the surrounding countries of the Tang Dynasty, and finally drew a bag similar to the terrain of the Southern Tang Dynasty in the air, which specially deepened the impression of these people.

Zhou Zong suddenly opened his squinted eyes and stared at the space that Lin Feng had just crossed.

Lin Feng continued: "Since the battle to exterminate Fujian five years ago, this has been a big whirlpool and a big trap that hurts my Tang soldiers, depletes my Tang strength, and destroys my Tang Dynasty's road to strength, a veritable sad place. We must be soberly aware that if we want to break through the current siege dilemma, the Qingyuan Army is the first obstacle that we have to pay attention to and deal with with with all our might! Once this son is gone, all of them are alive! ”

Wei Cen snorted heavily, and said in a cold voice: "Qingyuan Jiedu envoy Liucongxiao is currently accepting the reward of our dynasty, I Tang founded the country with benevolence and righteousness, and has always been friendly with friends and neighbors, how can I do it to my subordinates, how can I not make all the armies in the whole territory chill, and how can I face the accusations of the world?" ”

Lin Feng suddenly became a little angry, and said coldly and unceremoniously: "National interests are the most fundamental interests, and nothing should harm our national interests!" Could it be that for the sake of a false name, we should be farmers who sacrifice their lives to feed snakes and Buddhas who cut meat and feed eagles? Losing the world for a Qingyuan army is really a small loss and a big move! ”

"You-kid megalomania!" Wei Cen stood up suddenly, his halberd pointed at Lin Feng, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Two adults, please stop your anger for the time being! Let's just show our hands! Zhou Zong coughed lightly, stopping the two of them from impulsively.

Lin Feng raised his right hand high, while Wei Cen snorted coldly and sat down.

Seven to two, coupled with Zhou Zong's vote in favor, this answer sheet passed without danger.
