I still requested monthly tickets and subscribed. Ronaldinho strived for the tenth update, but it was too late before 12 o'clock.

......

"Of course the imperial examination is to be done. Shutong, you can rest assured that the court is discussing this matter." Qian Gai laughed dryly, "But the ninth year of Xuanhe will not be there... The court decided to change the era next year and will announce the new year name later."

After hearing this, Yuwen Xuzhong nodded slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then Xuzhong will take a trip to Jiangnan for the Emperor Chang'an!"

Lu Zai also nodded and said, "As long as the emperor of Chang'an holds the imperial examination well, the kingly aura of Jiangnan can only be depressed... Lu is also willing to go to Jiangnan!"

Qian Gai understood why Yuwen Xuzhong and Lu Zai said so? Because the Jiangnan court did not have much force, and its basis was the scholars and scholars from Jiangnan.

If the Emperor of Chang'an held the imperial examination well and opened the door to become an official for the scholars of Jiangnan, the scholars of Jiangnan would definitely abandon Zhao Huan as soon as possible!

Without the support of Jiangnan scholars, Zhao Huan was not satisfied with being the King of Wu?

But can the Emperor of Chang'an do a good job in the imperial examination? Qian Gai is very suspicious...

Of course, the imperial examination must be done!

Before Qian Gai and others left Chang'an, the Chang'an court was already conducting serious discussions!

For the current Chang'an court, three major matters are the most urgent matters.

First, recover Kaifeng Prefecture - even if it is recovered for ten or eight days, it will be considered to have recovered... If you can hold on for three or five years after recovery, it would be even more ideal.

The second is to implement the government army system - if you really want to directly attack Huanglong and sweep the grassland, you have to do a good job in the government army system. Because the biggest advantage of the Song Dynasty today is that it has a large population and arable land? Even if the population of all ethnic groups oppressed by the Jurchens and Bohai and other Great Jin tribes, the total population of the Great Jin Kingdom is at most one-tenth of the total population of the Song Dynasty. In terms of land output, economic scale, handicraft output, etc., the gap between the two sides will be even bigger!

In other words, the main advantage of the Song Dynasty lies in its scale... The scale can be ten times different, twenty times different!

Zhao Kai felt that as long as he could achieve the scale of his military power three times that of the Jin Dynasty, he should win firmly... If he could not achieve three times, he should have at least twice. In this way, he could win, but it would be a little more difficult. If he could not achieve this number, he would have to conduct a profound review!

The third major event before the Chang'an court was the three-year imperial examination competition.

The last competition took place in the sixth year of Xuanhe, and this year it has been eighth year of Xuanhe. According to convention, there should be an imperial examination competition next spring.

In the original history, the imperial examination competition in the second year of Jingkang was of course not carried out... But the next year was the second year of Jianyan (the first year of Jianyan was the second year of Jingkang), and the minor imperial court in the Southern Song Dynasty who ran to Yangzhou still held the imperial examination!

My life is about to be gone, and the imperial examination cannot be stopped!

Moreover, in the second year of Jianyan, the imperial examinations were not tested for riding horses and archery, nor did they take the sword and gun, and they still took the compositions as usual. Of course, the subject topics of this imperial examination were still very close to the situation at that time, and it was the "Guangwu Story"... It was to teach the disciples how to become Emperor Guangwu!

After reading hundreds of "Guangwu Story", Zhao Gou "escaped in the sea"... Of course, the strategy of "escaped in the sea" was not produced by the disciples, but by Lu Yihao for Zhao Gou.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, the effect was still good. At least it was not arrested by Wanyan Zongbi.

The resourceful Lv Yihao is now Zhao Kai's grand minister of the East Palace. His official official name is the left prime minister, the right prime minister Cai Mao, Dasan (Shengzhizheng) Han Xiaozhou, and Dasan Fan Zhixu are in charge of the Political Affairs Hall.

The current Chang'an court cannot compare with the Kaifeng court before the Xuanhe crisis. Zhao Kai is not as "high and prosperous" as Zhao Ji, and cannot afford to support so many officials, so he must be as streamlined as possible. Therefore, he merged the two provinces of Shangshu into the Political Affairs Hall, which was jointly managed by the left and right prime ministers and two great senators.

Corresponding to the Government Affairs Hall in charge of government affairs is the Privy Council in charge of military affairs, which is in charge of Chen Ji, Du Chong, Liu Yan and Yang Weizhong. Among them, Chen and Du are Yuan Shu and Tongzhi, and Liu and Yang are the officials of the Privy Council.

Under the Political Affairs Hall are six departments including officials, soldiers, households, labour, punishment, and rituals.

Below the Privy Council are military orders, military laws, military offices, general selection, training, and spies. This Privy Council has great power, far more powerful than the Privy Council of Kaifeng's imperial court before the Xuanhe period, but it does not control military affairs. The Ministry of War, which belongs to the Political Affairs Hall, also holds the power of military horses, equipment, food, construction of city gates and document transmission (the military orders are issued by the Privy Council, but documents must be passed on by the post station system controlled by the Ministry of War).

In addition, the spy room under the Privy Council is a spy agency that is only external and not internal.

Nowadays, all the "spy activities" within the jurisdiction of the Chang'an court are under the charge of the Imperial City Department, and this Imperial City Department is no longer under the control of the East and West Governments... The first Imperial City Department was Zhao Kai's confidant eunuch Wang Xiaode!

Although this person is an eunuch, he is also Zhao Kai's Yuan Congshi, and is not comparable to an ordinary eunuch.

In addition to the Imperial City Department, there are several important yamen that are not under the jurisdiction of the East and West Governments, namely Taifu Temple, Censorate, Imperial College, Dali Temple, and Hanlin Bachelor's Academy.

Among them, Taifu Temple manages the royal property, and is now presided over by another eunuch of Zhao Kai, Bethlehem.

Impeach officials and picking up illegal censorship is also a key yamen. One of Zhao Kai's four major opportunities, Zhang Jun, who was jealous of evil, was appointed by Zhao Kai as the Chief Censor of the Power.

In Zhao Kai's eyes, the Imperial College, which manages official schools, is also a very important yamen... Education can determine the future of the Song Dynasty!

Although Zhao Kai looked down on the imperial examination, it did not mean that he did not value education. Therefore, Zhao Kai chose his confidant. Hu Yin, one of the four major opportunities, became the priest of the Imperial College, and was the head of the Imperial College.

Dali Temple is similar to the High Court, and the first Dali Temple Minister was appointed by Deng Su, one of the four major opportunities.

The Hanlin Bachelor's Academy is equivalent to Zhao Kai's secretariat. Zhao Kai merged the work of the Zhongshu Sheren and the Hanlin Bachelor's Academy and established this Bachelor's Academy. Whether it is a major edict, a central edict or a sect, as long as it is a document issued by Zhao Kai, it will be drafted, copied and archived by the Hanlin Bachelor's Academy.

The various documents presented by Zhao Kaiyulan from the east and west governments will be submitted to the Hanlin Bachelor's Academy first.

Chen Dong, the leader of Zhao Kai’s four major functions, is now the top leader of the Hanlin Bachelor’s Academy.

At this moment, the eight rulings of the East and West governments, the eighteen important officials of the Six Ministry and the Sixth Ministry (Shangshu, Minister of the Sixth Ministry, Governor of the Sixth Ministry), the Imperial City Office, Taifu Office, Censorate, Imperial College, Dali Temple, and Hanlin Bachelor's Academy all gathered in the Chongzheng Hall (actually a lobby of the Fushu Office) in Chang'an Imperial City (actually a lobby of the Fushu Office), and sat in different classes and discussed with Zhao Kai, the official official of the Song Dynasty on the imperial seat on the imperial seat.

Zhao Kai, who had already worn a filial piety uniform, was wearing a bright yellow robe with a narrow sleeve, round neck and waist, and a black soft-footed head. He sat upright on a wide imperial throne, and there was a very large desk in front of him. On the desk were four treasures of the study, memorials, Zhao Kai's sword and other objects.

His brows were frowning deeply, and he seemed not very happy, he was a little impatient, and maybe he was a little embarrassed!

Because this "reopening of the Song Dynasty" is not easy to be an official family... Although "reopening" can get rid of the original jars and jars to a certain extent, creating some new situations.

But the world is still the same as the original world, and the people are still the original people... The elites of this country, namely the literati, are also the original literati.

The idea of ​​"The emperor values ​​heroes, and teaches you articles; everything is inferior, but only reading is high" is still deeply engraved in people's hearts!

So when Kaifeng Prefecture has become an empty city, the Yellow River's 100-year embankment may be dug up at any time, many prefectures on the ground in Hebei and Jingdong have fallen, and the Jin thieves' military fronts are even approaching Xuzhou, the most difficult problem that the Chang'an court has to solve is the imperial examination next year and the local tests that will be carried out soon.

"Your Majesty has just reopened the Song Dynasty, and there is still a pseudo-dynasty in Jiangdong, so it is time to show the orthodox status of the Chang'an court to the people of the world. And to open the imperial examinations and recruit scholars can prove to the people of the world that Your Majesty is the orthodox emperor who is destined to... "

The person who was shaking his head and explaining to Zhao Kai the importance of enrolling a scholar was of course the Prime Minister Lu Yihao of the East... What made Zhao Kai a little speechless was that on this issue, the prime ministers and important officials in the court almost agreed!

The imperial examination cannot be stopped!

Moreover, it is best not to change the content of the imperial examination!

As for the number of students who take the ranks, it can be reduced appropriately... but it cannot be reduced to 30 people at once, which is too small. The number of students who take the ranks should have more than 100 people.

"Your Majesty, I also think that the matter of seizing scholars is the key to the court's peace of minds in the world!" The right prime minister Cai Mao also said to Zhao Kai, "If your majesty thinks that seizing scholars by using the classics is too pedantic, it can be changed to strategy and argument... and even let the disciples talk about it on paper."

Talk about war...Do you dare to come to the battle? Zhao Kai thought to himself that he did not dare to fight against the thieves at the battle. He didn't even have the courage to meet the Jin thieves, and he was just talking about nothing!

By the way, courage!

Can courage be used as the exam content?

Zhao Kai’s imagination is really a bit big! Somehow, he actually combined the exam with his courage.

Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and said to the ministers in the court: "What you said makes sense... The imperial examinations and scholars are indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is the hope of the scholars of the world and the people!

I have first ascended the great treasure and reopened the Song Dynasty. Of course, I cannot disappoint the world, so I will hold an examination next spring. And the location of the examination... I hope it is in Kaifeng Prefecture!"

What?

Holding in Kaifeng Prefecture?

Now the important officials present don’t know what to say?

Kaifeng Prefecture has not been recovered yet!

Moreover, the Jin thieves are currently stationing troops in Sanshan Floating Bridge, and they can dig open the Yellow River dam and flood Kaifeng Prefecture at any time... The official family actually wants to hold the imperial examination there!
Chapter completed!
