In fact, the students can't be blamed for being utilitarian in this matter, in the final analysis, the palace examination still has to ask a few questions from the officials, and then the new science and technology scholars below will come up with a serious political paper based on these questions. There is a rumor in Taixue that when Jianyan took the first imperial examination in the third year, because it was still in the period of the full-scale war between the Song and Jin, the official family directly took this as the topic, and the first thing to ask was that the Song and Jin countries were at war for four years, and in the long run, why did the Song win?

At that time, Hu Quan's 10,000-character eloquent essay amazed the city of Tokyo, but it was a pity that Hu Bian was too crazy that year, and praised and depreciated the prime minister and vice minister and the cardinal minister, and successfully offended all the high-level Song Dynasty officials outside the official family, and finally only got fifth, and he didn't even have his share in catching his son-in-law under the list, which he had always liked. However, it is gratifying that he has maintained this sharp style over the years, and the editor-in-chief of Di Bao has been really well-known overseas and shaken China over the years.

There is also Yu Yunwen in the same period, whose experience is also legendary, but because it involves the Military Statistics Department, it is inevitably a little taboo.

Having said that, the Jin country has been annihilated, and the country is obviously going to recuperate, if the Zhao Guanjia goes out on patrol at this time, you will find that although the relocation of the capital has become a foregone conclusion, the inner city and the outer city are still people and traffic, Cao Yun is accessible, takeaway trucks shuttle between the north and south of the state bridge, and the scholars outside the Tianjie gather, it is also a state of Wenhua prosperity, as if it is the time of benevolence and Ying. Especially within the Suzaku Gate in the inner city, south of Xiangguo Temple, the place with Taixue and Guozijian as the core in the past, and the surrounding restaurants and small shops, you can hear the voices of Taixue students without going in.

And among them, on a side street directly south of Xiangguo Temple, the most central is the famous "Song Sister-in-law Fish Soup" store, because their signature dish on the "Tokyo Menghualu" back to Tokyo was found by the official family to fund the opening of the store, and even once provided fresh fish, the business has been booming over the years, despite the high price, many students still ask for a fortune to have dinner here. But it may not be able to be ranked.

"Binfu, Mao Xiu, do you look at these young people, can they be like us back then?" The person who spoke was a loud voice, but he was in his thirties, but he had a face of a bag. If it weren't for the private room, then he would definitely be recognized, it was Hu Quan, the editor of the Honglu Temple Newspaper who has been mentioned many times these days.

So the two people who ate at the same table with him were naturally not outsiders, they were the son-in-law of King Zhang Lu, Yu Yunwen, who had just been promoted to the Privy Council's decree and the Military Statistics Department, and Mei Shuo, a Zhongshu who was about to be released.

That's right, both of them were promoted because of their outstanding performance during the Northern Expedition, especially the Meishe people, just look at the experience of the current central officials, the experience of each ruling party, why did they enter the Secret Pavilion?

The three of them were all Jinshi in the third year of Jianyan, and watching these juniors talking, they naturally smiled a little and felt youthful.

Who hasn't been younger? Who didn't have some ridiculous things and black history when they were young?

"What Brother Hu said was that back then, all they talked about was war and peace, and the younger brother beat (walked) all the way, but what he heard was all kinds of things." It was Xiaoyu Tanhua who spoke, in fact, he became an official at the age of twenty, and he is still not middle-aged, and he is a beautiful young man. It was when he went to send a war book to the fourth prince Jin Wushu for the official family, and was almost beheaded and sacrificed to the flag, and later he was slapped out of two teeth by his personal guard Khitan Yu Taishi Nu, and now his speech is still a little leaky. This made his wife and father-in-law feel very distressed. In particular, Zhang Rong was the most protective of the short, and took special care of getting the captured Taishi slaves to his navy to dredge the river as hard labor, and would work ten hours a day before selling them to Xiliao, and if he was tired and died, he would be buried and sold if he could not die.

The soon-to-be-appointed Meishe people also said: "Yes, it's funny that they all have the "River Canal Book" in their hands, but they refuse to discuss the problem of the Yellow River governance, and I don't know if they are afraid that others will learn their own insights." ”

Hu Quan disagreed, "Since ancient times, water control has been a major matter of the state, if you have an idea to implement it, let alone a good ranking and award officials, I am afraid that you can leave a name in the history books, and the official family will not be stingy with rewards." But blindly clinging to the defects and working behind closed doors, but I don't believe that I can achieve anything, don't brush it up because it's too ridiculous. ”

Yes, another major feature of this imperial examination is that it is not fully admitted. After studying history, Zhao Guanjia knew that the reason why the Northern Song Dynasty palace examination did not fail when he arrived at the palace was because of the experience of Zhang Yuan, a student of the Renzong Dynasty who failed to pass the academic test. This person failed many times in the palace examination, came to Western Xia with resentment towards the Song Dynasty, became the state minister of Li Yuanhao, the lord of Western Xia, and helped Western Xia defeat the Song army in the Battle of Haoshuichuan. With the joy of the victor, this guy also wrote the famous poem "Xia Zhu He Zeng shrugged, Han Qi was not surprised." Manchuan dragon and tiger, still saying that the military machine" to satirize the "pillars of talent" of the Song State at that time, and he also signed his (Western Xia) "Taishi, Shangshu Order, and Zhongshu Order" at the end of the prominent official title, nakedly humiliating the admission of the Song State examination system.

Zhao Guanjia believes that this kind of behavior of choking and abandoning food is simply the stench of the old Song Dynasty, and it must be eliminated in his Shao Song Dynasty, so the imperial examination implements a differential admission system, with more than 100 participants, but the admission quota is still 600 people, divided into five classes.

If there are dissatisfied scholars, the official family said that they can also consider going to the west of the city to raise the two last princes of the Western Xia Imperial Cavalry Commander Wei Ming Yun Ge to help the Western Xia restore the country and seek a high position, as for whether it will scare Wei Ming Yun Brother and be cut off by him and sent to the imperial court, Zhao Jiu's official family is not responsible.

Yu Yunwen and Mei Shuo don't know how dare this big brother say it, but you are not an official, so it is better to pay attention. So he changed the topic and said: "It is also Taipingsheng Temple (world), there will be such miscellaneous discussions, otherwise before Yaoshan, when they were all in the military, where did they come from so much complicated, isn't it the word war and peace?" But we are fortunate enough to have the Holy Lord come to the court and see this day with our own eyes. However, the official is right, the road ahead is still very long, and Mao Xiu went to Cizhou to govern the state affairs, and there is a long way to go, and the local people's livelihood is not under the governance of the Yellow River. ”

There is another layer of meaning, the previous governor of Cizhou in the Great Song Dynasty was Zong Ze, the head of the thirty-six heroes of Jianyan, Mei Shuo went here, although it was the official family's trust in him, but there was also great pressure.

Moreover, according to Zhao Boyao, the governor of Xiangzhou, their champion of the same term, the issue of local land division is also very tricky in Cizhou. The official said it so harshly, but there was a question he ignored, those who abandoned their families and businesses to run to Taihang Mountain in order to resist gold, and the local tycoons and heroes in Shaanzhou City, if they returned to their homeland, would they also be in the ranks of Juntiandi?

If it is, it will hurt the hearts of these loyal people too much, people's loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty is clear every day, and the hardships of fighting alone can be imagined; If not, wouldn't it be a joke for the official family to have Tianxian in their mouths?

Mei Shuo smiled bitterly for a while, only hating himself for not having the prestige of Zong Zhongwu.
