No matter how much turmoil Cai Boyu and Rat San set off in Goryeo, Zhao Zhen's Great Song Dynasty is still stable, the imperial court is still harmonious, and it has not had much impact on the Great Song Dynasty, at least Zhao Zhen thinks so, and the news has not yet spread in the court.

Only the Wende Hall is slightly different, and this is the place where the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty played against him.

The news of Cai Boyu's capture of Jinju in Goryeo has been received by Zhao Zhen, and Sancai passed the letter to the ministers in the court again, but the expressions of the ministers who stood still made Zhao Zhen a little restless.

The first thing to break the deadlock is the three envoys Bao Zheng, this old man lifted his front placket, and his left foot stepped outward, Zhao Zhen knew what he was going to say, sure enough, Bao Zheng bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Cai Boyu's move is disrespectful, Your Majesty is recalled for issuing a gold medal, and ordered to punish!" ”

Zhao Zhen lamented in his heart, but said with a gentle expression on his face: "What Bao Qing said is a bit excessive, the Koreans killed my Great Song Dynasty soldiers and turned a blind eye to the official documents of the Honglu Temple, so that Cai Boyu will lead troops into the country and ask the Koreans for an explanation." ”

Bao Zheng shook his head slightly: "Weichen is not blaming Cai Boyu, but what he did damaged the face of the Great Song Dynasty and damaged the prestige of the official family, but what he did was right, the Goryeo people killed my Great Song Dynasty soldiers, and his crime should be punished, even if he used the people of the entire Stone City to accompany the funeral, it is not an exaggeration, but he used 20,000 soldiers to attack the Goryeo City, and there was no report before, this is disrespectful to the imperial power, disrespectful to Your Majesty!" ”

Not to mention Zhao Zhen, even Pang Ji was a little surprised, he didn't expect Bao Zheng, who valued etiquette rules more than anything else, to say such a thing? Even if he is like this, can anyone else say anything?

With Bao Zheng's words, the atmosphere in the Wende Hall became a little relaxed, as long as he did not fight with the emperor to the death, the atmosphere in the Wende Hall would always be harmonious, at least much better than the Zichen Hall full of imperial history.

Pang Ji came out of the class and said: "What Master Bao said is that although it is reasonable for Cai Boyu to lead troops to retaliate, after all, it is a thunderous method, and it needs to be reported to the official family, and it is necessary to do it after getting the will of the official family." ”

But as he spoke, Pang Ji changed his words and said: "But the incident happened suddenly, and Goryeo is thousands of miles away from my Great Song Dynasty, looking at each other across the sea, and the time of delay back and forth will only increase the loss and tear, not to mention, the ever-changing fighters on the battlefield alone will be fleeting."

Besides, although Cai Boyu is a foreign relative, the official family has given him the literary resources and led the troops outside, if he can't do something and doesn't have the decisiveness to adapt to the situation, what else does the official family want him to do? In this way, it can be reflected that he is unchangeable in the face of danger and has a degree of behavior! Although the court should not be rewarded, it should not be punished. ”

Pang Ji's words are polite and courteous, the most important thing is to make a good mud, it is good to listen to the ear, and he can persuade Bao Zheng to put things down gently, the key is that Bao Zheng listened, bowed to Zhao Zhen and said: "The minister is reckless, I never thought of the place where Cai Boyu is." When he returns, he will come to the door and apologize. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and waved his hand: "If you come to the door to apologize, won't you scare his heart out?!" You are not wrong in this matter, he is indeed too reckless, but it is also a warning to the Goryeo people, it is an indisputable fact that my Great Song merchants have been repeatedly harassed in Goryeo.

The immediate incident was also caused by the fact that the Koreans mistakenly regarded our Great Song soldiers as merchants, which shows that the Koreans have long ignored the prestige of our Great Song Dynasty, otherwise how can they be easily humiliated and embarrassed?

Cai Boyu's move was to establish his authority in Goryeo, and it could be regarded as raising the prestige of our country, but the method used was a little too radical, and since he had withdrawn his troops, I would no longer discuss the matter, and when he returned from the Japanese state, I would reprimand him again. ”

Cai Boyu's matter is in the past, most of the duels between the emperor and the Xianggong have to deal with cumbersome official affairs, some of these official affairs are not considered major events, but some have a greater impact, especially when it comes to the clan, officials who represent the face of the court, and the Xianggong cannot be directly punished.

Ouyang Xiu was the first to start the regular recital: "Kick off the official family, when will this year's palace exam start, the students have passed the spring festival, and they have sacrificed to the sky with the southern suburbs of the official family, and they have learned a lot along the way, and the heart of serving the court is red, and it must not be delayed, which hurts the hearts of the students!" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "I did it intentionally, after they experienced the spring festival before, they followed me to the southern suburbs to worship the sky under the gaze of the people of the entire Beijing City and even the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the excitement in my heart can be described as a wave of unsettled waves, and under such a stirring mood, I am afraid that they will say things that should not be said and write articles that should not be written."

I relaxed them for a period of time, let them relax their minds, calm their minds, keep the Lingtai Qingming, before the palace test, now it seems that the students in Beijing City should also scatter enough, according to the Ministry of Rites, the eighth day of the fourth month and the Daqing Hall opened the palace test, I personally read the papers. ”

Ouyang Xiu bowed and said, "The minister's order!" ”

With Ouyang Xiu's retreat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the palace examination could not be held for a long time, and the people's discussions had gradually emerged, everyone was speculating about the intentions of the officials, and even some people were worried that there would be no palace examination this year.

The students were panicked and restless, but the official family just didn't show it, and the court couldn't promise anything without authorization, so things dragged on like this, in fact, this was just a psychological test for Zhao Zhen.

The palace examination, this is the last checkpoint for the country, it seems to be the palace of glory, but it is also the palace of responsibility, once the scholars admitted by the palace examination, they will become the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is likely that Xuanma will worship the prime minister in the future to become the minister of the Great Song Dynasty, which is the most glorious subject since the imperial examination.

Not to mention anything else, just the one in this Wende Hall who is not from the Jinshi Branch? This is also the reason why the people will say that Jinshike is a public department, and everyone is watching and staring!

But the more this is the case, the more Zhao Zhen attaches more importance to Jinshike, this year he wants to improve the quality of Jinshike, how to improve? You can only increase the difficulty in the palace exam!

In previous years, once the Jinshi Department got the fame of Chunqiu, they became tribute students and then participated in the palace examination It is difficult to be brushed down, almost every Gongshi who participated in the palace examination finally got the title of Jinshi, the first and third "give the Jinshi and the first", the second "give the Jinshi origin", and the third "give the same Jinshi origin".

But this year, Zhao Zhen doesn't plan to take it lightly in order to improve the difficulty, some people have won the tribute, and the enthusiasm for seeing the palace exam is not so high, the main reason is that he knows his own level, and the main test of the palace exam is the strategy, and the other content is not tested.

In short, a sentence can reveal his talent, so many people choose to use a slightly mediocre article to get by.

There is no nutrition in such an article, it is just a song of merit and praise, or reminiscing about the great Song Dynasty It is not easy to establish a country, the merits of Taizu Taizong, etc., and some people point out the disadvantages of the times, but there is no way to solve them, and they say that this is not good, that is not good, but there is no place in the whole text to express their own views, which is like vernacular.

These articles do not reflect the talents of individuals, but even so, it is difficult for the emperor to brush these people down, because there is nothing wrong with these articles......
