Under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, many students entered the palace city and participated in the palace examination.

The palace examination is an interview and assessment by the emperor himself, and the results depend on the emperor's wishes.

This is the interview for the highest version of Da Song!

Suddenly, Wang Bin thought of his first life, and thought of the interview after graduation at that time, which can be described as a mess; And now in the Song Dynasty, there are interviews again, and the written exams are continuous, which is really cheating.

The moment he stepped into the palace city of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Bin felt a little like a dream.

The circumference of the palace of Bianjing Palace in the Northern Song Dynasty is five miles, and the main hall of the palace is called Daqing Palace, which is the place where the ceremony is held. The south of the Daqing Hall is the central government office, and there is a gatehouse between the two. The Zichen Hall in the north of the Daqing Hall is the front hall of the emperor's view.

The monthly court meeting, the congratulatory ceremony at the completion of the suburban temple ceremony, and the reception of Khitan envoys are all held in the Zichen Palace.

The vertical arch hall on the west side of the Daqing Hall is the place where the emperor listens to the government on weekdays.

The Wende Hall between the purple and vertical arches is the place where the emperor stays and rests before and after retreating. The banquet hall in the palace is the Jiying Palace, the Shengping Building. There were not many palaces in the palace of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the regulations of the harem were not very large.

There are several emperor's bedrooms in the harem, among which Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, lives in Funing Palace, in addition to the palace of the concubine, there are still pools, pavilions, pavilions, platforms and other entertainment places in the harem.

Genyue is another wonderful palace built by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, which can be said to be ingenious and like a fairyland.

The construction of Genyue, spent a lot of manpower and material resources, from the government and to the Qing Kang for more than ten years, flowers and bamboos in various places, the notorious "flower stone gang" in later generations, is derived from this.

Walked into the Daqing Palace, set down the tables, chairs and benches, put down the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then the written test began.

The palace examination is mainly based on the emperor's assessment, and most of the rules are to follow the emperor's wishes.

Brush a little bit!

Wang Bin wrote quickly, it was about half an hour, and the written test was over.

Next, the oral examination began.

"Today, the Jin people rise, repeated battles and victories, the Liao people can not be defeated, there is a recent war report, the Jin people and the Liao people in the battle of Shangjing, the Liao army of 200,000 people is gone, the Jin people occupy Shangjing, the tiger looks at the Liao people Linhuang Mansion, this time the Jin envoy has arrived in Bianliang, is to ally with my Great Song Dynasty, meet to attack the Liao people, after the fact, my Great Song Dynasty recaptured the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Jin people have Xijing, Linhuang, you think, can you swear an oath?"

Song Huizong asked.

The other students were surprised and delighted when they heard that Shangjing had been taken away by the Jinren. Song Liao has a common hatred, the two sides have been repeatedly friction for a hundred years, the Liao people are arrogant, every year to ask for the New Year's coin, once not satisfied, they will immediately knock on the barrier.

The conflict on the border was even more continuous, and the Song people had always regarded the Liao State as a major problem.

The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty all had Liaophobia.

Now the once invincible enemy has been beaten to the ground by some golden people.

The territory of the Liao State can be roughly divided into five parts, one is Shangjing Road, Shangjing Road covers an extremely wide area, almost equivalent to the entire territory of Inner and Outer Mongolia in later generations, there is the land of the Liao people's dragon Xing, the Liao people once built the capital there, and the political status is extremely important.

The second part is Tokyo Road, which is similar to the Tohoku in later generations, and is now occupied by the Jin people. There is also Linhuang Mansion, which is located in the south of Shangjing, which is actually the central jurisdiction of the Liao people, and is the location of the capital.

The current Liao State, the remaining territory is only afraid that only Xijing Road, Nanjing Road and Zhongjing Road can still accumulate strength, these three provinces are located south of the Great Wall, and belong to the territory under the jurisdiction of the King of the Southern Courtyard.

The current situation should be that the Jin people completely occupy the north of the Great Wall, and the Liao people are almost ready to retreat into the pass, the Jin people are good at horse warfare, and they are invincible outside the pass, but to enter the pass, they have to break through the barrier of the Great Wall, but I am afraid that it is not easy. Therefore, the Jin people will think of the Song Dynasty, hoping to swear an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty and attack the north and the south, so once the Liao people suffer from the enemy on the belly and back, they will inevitably be in chaos, as long as the Jin army enters the pass, everything else will be easy to say,

At that time, not to mention the Liao Kingdom, even the Great Song Dynasty was also unlucky.

But the Hanlin scholars present were all excited.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is a good time for the Northern Expedition, thinking that my Emperor Taizu was in vain in conquering Liao, leaving behind a catastrophe, and now he can conquer Liao in one fell swoop and avenge the shame."

A student said.

"For the top priority, it is to immediately draft the Quartet, swear an oath with the Jin people, and make all parties prepare strategically, first, to put pressure on the Liao people, to respond to the Jin people, and on the other hand, to make a strong army and horses, and to go north at any time."

Another student said.

Immediately, everyone spoke one after another, most of them were the main battle, they were well-educated, shaking their heads and shaking their heads, citing scriptures, and being impeccable.

Song Huizong was silent, but he had already made a decision in his heart.

As a king, the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun, that is, the Nanjing Road of the Liao people, is a famous thing for Song Huizong, and now that he has the opportunity, how can he not be moved, and after listening to the words of these people, he feels that if he is on the Northern Expedition, his exploits will catch up with the Han Wu Tang Sect.

It's just that some people objected: "Your Majesty, starting a war without authorization is not good for the country, and it is very disadvantageous for the people and money!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Jin country is a barbarian, and the Liao country is also a barbarian, we should not mix with it, but sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting for the exhaustion of the two sides to fight and shoot again!" Another student way.

"Sitting on the tiger and watching the tiger fight, sitting on the missed opportunity, this is the next policy; The best strategy is to take the initiative, be aggressive, and join forces with the Jin State to destroy Liao! ”

"The Liao people are not a good thing, and the Jin country is not a good thing, if the Jin country repents and takes the opportunity to go south, won't we lead the wolf into the room!"

"I don't think so, the Jin army is strong, and I, the Great Song Dynasty, am not weak. If the Jin country abides by the covenant, everything is easy to say, send the New Year's coin, and become allies; If the Jin army goes south, it will be just a battle of Lanyuan! Back then, Emperor Zhenzong was able to repel the Liao army, and the officials were wise and powerful, how could they be defeated by the Jin army! ”

One by one, the students discussed and expressed their own opinions.

Those who advocated uniting the Jin army and attacking the Liao State occupied as many as six layers; The third layer advocates neutrality and sits on the mountain to watch the tiger fight; There is another layer, worried about luring wolves into the house and driving wolves and tigers.

It's just that it's quickly refuted!

The Jin army's southward march was nothing more than a battle of the Yuanyuan.

Emperor Zhenzong, who was able to defeat the Liao army; Today's official family can naturally defeat the Jin army.

Immediately, the apprehensive faction on that layer collectively fell silent.

It can't be thought that today's emperor is not as good as Emperor Zhenzong, this is not a slap in the face of today's emperor.

If you want to continue to mix and become an official, you must be politically correct; And the greatest political correctness is that Song Huizong is wise and martial, and the saint was born, which is the greatest political correctness.

denied this, are you still mixing in the Great Song Dynasty?
