"Withdraw!"

As soon as the cheers fell, Yu Wenlie turned his horse's head and took the lead in retreating.

The rest of the army, naturally, did not dare to disobey the holy order, and immediately began to act, retreating like a tide.

"Ling Fox Wing, 50,000 Flame Soldiers, rest assured, I will definitely avenge you. ”

Yu Wenlie's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam.

Just after Yu Wenlie led the retreat of the 100,000 Flame Army, less than half an hour passed, a sturdy man with a full body of beast-faced chain mail and a mask on his head, like a tiger and wolf, appeared here.

Two columns of soldiers lined up to the left and right, and Dian Wei, like a fierce beast, rode out, and with just a suck of his palm, he sucked a flag of the Fire Empire on the ground into his hand.

"It's a pity. ”

Dian Wei shook his head, a look of regret in his eyes.

If we had done it a little earlier, we should have been able to meet this army of fire.

"General Dian, do you want to pursue?"

At this time, behind Dian Wei, a lieutenant general stepped forward and asked.

"With our speed, it won't take us a few hours to catch up with the enemy, and we will be able to return victorious. ”

The lieutenant is confident.

"Nope. ”

However, Dian Wei waved his hand, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Further north, there is the area controlled by the Fire Empire, not our supply range. ”

"Victory, it is difficult to achieve all the successes. ”

"If you are defeated, you will die without a place to be buried. ”

"After this battle, in the short term, the Fire Empire will not make any more big moves. ”

"Go back and get back to your life. ”

"Yes!"

The Great Army began to retreat south.

......

Following.

Outside the Jixian Palace.

The temple examination is about to begin.

Dozens of tribute students were waiting outside the hall en masse.

They were all worried and had mixed feelings.

Because, the chief examiner of this palace test, that is, their majesty, is the literary saint of today's literary world, leaving behind many hand-me-down poems, with flying literary brilliance and extremely high realm.

Being interviewed by such a saint, the mood can be imagined, even if they are excellent and rich, they will never have the opportunity to show off in front of Wen Sheng.

Therefore, many tribute students were very worried, for fear of making a fool of himself in front of Zhao Lin.

Failure in the temple examination is a small matter.

If you make a big scandal in front of Wen Sheng, if you don't do it well, you will laugh and be generous, and become the laughing stock of Confucianism in the world.

Just when all the beings were uneasy, a eunuch came out of the Jixian Palace, looked at the dozens of tribute students, and said, "Fellow tribute students, please come in." ”

"Yes. ”

Dozens of tribute students bowed deeply, all bowed their heads in awe, and followed the eunuch into the Jixian Palace.

In the main hall, it is resplendent with gold, full of guards, and heavily guarded.

Dozens of tribute students knew that the emperor was sitting on the throne of the dragon chair, but they didn't dare to raise their heads and look directly at Zhao Lin.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Dozens of tribute students all bowed down and bowed to Zhao Linxing.

"Flat. ”

After a while, all beings heard an incomparably majestic voice, which suddenly rang in their ears, "Flat." ”

Then, these dozens of tribute students got up and sat down on the seats that had been prepared on both sides of the main hall.

On the seat, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that have been prepared are for the use of these tribute students.

And after sitting down, Zhu Sheng began to secretly look at Zhao Lin on the throne of the dragon chair.

Then they were shocked.

Young!

Too young!

This is their first impression of Zhao Lin.

Their Emperor Majesty, the current Wen Sheng, was only such a teenager, which made them feel extremely incredible.

Sure enough, it's a genius.

All the tributes were secretly ashamed.

Among them, the youngest person is also much older than Zhao Lin.

However, compared with Zhao Linyi, their poems and articles are simply one heaven and one earth, and they cannot be said in the same day.

At this time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu bowed down and walked to Zhao Lin's side, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, all the tributes have arrived, and you can start the palace test." ”

The palace examination is made by the emperor on the spot, and the tributes must also be answered on the spot.

In this way, the fairness of the temple examination can be guaranteed.

Even the Ministry of Rites did not know the topic of the palace examination.

Only Zhao Lin knows.

The topic, he had already thought of it.

Zhao Lin just glanced at the Gongsheng in this hall, and said loudly: "Today's palace test, there is no restriction on style, but there is only one theme, and that is the policy of 'pacifying the world'." ”

"I want to see what strategy you have in mind to pacify this chaotic world. ”

Hearing Zhao Lin's words, the eyes of all the Gongsheng lit up.

This topic is really ambitious.

It's not hard to say, but it's never easy to say.

At that time, the situation in the world was surrounded by wolves with fires in the north, Annan in the south, and Xirong and Tubo in the west.

If you want to calm the world, how easy is it?

Dozens of tribute students are all sitting upright, one after another fell into thought, some frowning, some have begun to write, hard to write......

Zhao Lin sat on the throne of the dragon chair, looking down at the dozens of tribute students below.

Regarding the "Peaceful World Policy" as the topic of the palace examination, Zhao Lin can be said to have been carefully considered.

At present, the world is divided, the Great Song Dynasty is in a corner of peace, and there are many powerful countries in various countries.

Pacifying the world is not only the goal of Zhao Lin alone, but also the long-cherished wish of the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty and even the entire world.

Break the mountains and rivers and reunite them!

With this foundation, it is possible to recreate the prosperity of the past!

The temple test lasted for an hour before it ended.

The Gongsheng submitted their answers one by one.

All the Gongsheng's answer sheets were first sent to the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and the two Ministry of Rites for review, and after they reviewed them, they were ranked and then sent to Zhao Lin.

However, the results judged by the officials of the Ministry of Rites are only used as Zhao Lin's reference, and will not be included in the results of the palace examination.

The results of the palace examination will be reviewed by the emperor and decided by one person.

At this time, the dozens of tribute students temporarily left the Jixian Hall and waited outside the hall.

All the tribute students were very worried.

These people, who can go to the step of the palace examination, are naturally full of wealth and talent.

However, the person who reviewed their examination papers was His Majesty Wensheng!

No matter how well their articles are written, they are worthy of a hair of His Majesty?

They felt that the shortcomings of their articles, even a small fallacy, could never escape the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor.

Inside the Jixian Palace.

Zhao Lin sat on the throne and closed his eyes.

"Your Majesty, after the ministers have finished reviewing, please ask Your Majesty to approve and decide on the top three candidates. ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu presented all the articles of dozens of tribute students in front of Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin nodded and picked up the first-ranked Gongsheng answer sheet.

The title of the first article is called "The Fu of the Mountains".

Zhao Lin's eyes froze slightly.

The article that can be recognized as the first by the Ministry of Rites and the two waiters should not be a clumsy work.

"The luck of the world will return to the Great Song Dynasty. Your Majesty is wise and martial, and compared with the emperors of Agni, Xirong, and Annam, there should be ten victories. ”

"Your Majesty has been ordered by heaven and luck, and this is the way to victory. ”

"Your Majesty uses soldiers like gods, takes the general as the commander, wins more with less, and fights without defeat, this is a military victory. ”

"Your Majesty cleans up corruption inside and exerts leniency outside, which is a victory. ”

“......”

"With this ten victories, Your Majesty will be able to annex all countries, dominate the world, and be the co-lord of Shenzhou!"

This article is gorgeously written and the text is exciting.

After Zhao Lin read it, he also nodded, "The article is well written." ”
