Chapter 1345 It seems that His Majesty still wants to show some face... (Second update)
Chapter 1354

"My lord, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do it today." After a short time, the chief official of the post station hurried over, and explained to Ren Duo Zong Bao with a little apology.

"Why is this? The old man really has something important to do and needs to meet Mr. Wang." Ren Duo Zongbao frowned in displeasure and said in a low voice.

"It's not that the official is deliberately making things difficult for Ambassador Ren Duo. It's actually because today is the day of the imperial examination for the Song Dynasty martial arts..." The official from the Ministry of Rites could only tell the truth.

"My lord Wang took part in the provincial and ministerial examination of my Great Song Dynasty Martial Arts Examination last year, and won the first prize of Huiyuan. Today, I need to take the palace examination to compete for the top prize..."

"!!!!!!" Renduo Zongbao was immediately disturbed by the wind. After a long time, he pulled his beard and asked in disbelief.

"You mean, Wang Yang Wang Wushan, the founding Duke of Jiuyuan County, is going to participate in your Song Dynasty's martial arts? Did this guy take the wrong medicine?"

The expression of the young official from the Ministry of Rituals suddenly became a little displeased. He raised his eyelids and glanced at the old party member who was as shocked as a husky, and then said calmly.

"My lord Wang is a rare all-rounder in civil and military affairs in the Great Song Dynasty. He is proficient in both literary and martial arts. It can be said that Wen can draw a pen to secure the country, and Wu can hold the sword to rule the world.

A few years ago, he had already won the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty. If he won another number one scholar in martial arts, then he would be able to further show the all-rounder appearance of Mr. Wang. "

Seeing this low-ranking official of the ritual officer, when he mentioned Wang Yang, with his eyes shining and his expression of worship, Ren Duo Zongbao slammed his mouth, and really didn't know what to say.

"By the way, I am a classmate of Mr. Wang, also in the same year." Before leaving, the official from the Ministry of Rites made a special show of his identity, which meant that he could be the same Taixue as the old driver Wang Yang. As a student, he passed the imperial examination in the same year, which made him extremely proud.

It's just that he regrets that he is too weak and can't be as versatile as Wang Yang, otherwise, he must follow Wang Yang's example and rush to take the imperial examination to make his eyes shine, so as to live up to his status as Wang Yang's classmate.

"Wang Wushan, I really can't figure it out. Unexpectedly, the majestic county prince has the leisure and elegance to participate in the martial arts, and even won the first place..." Ren Duo Zongbao slammed his mouth, dissatisfied, and said Conquer Wang Wushan.

What's the matter, the dignified officials of the third rank and above in the Song Dynasty directly put aside the important national affairs here and rushed to participate in the martial arts. This is probably the first time I have heard of such a thing in my life.

Not to mention his Ren Duo Zongbao, today, in the square outside Yuehua Gate, a thousand civil and military officials and workers from the Song Dynasty also gathered here, watching those martial arts candidates galloping wildly there, or It is to draw the hard bow.

However, these palace examinations are not examination subjects, but just to let the emperor see clearly that each of these Wu Jinshi can draw a hard bow, ride a horse, and hold a fight. They are not parallel importers. The officials who presided over the examination did not Neglect of duty.

Wang Daguan also stood in front of the emperor after a rehearsal, and the emperor Zhao Xu was very satisfied, and looked at the heroic young people in front of him, especially Wang Yang and Wang Wushan.

Although he has been an official for several years, his full momentum and his vigorous figure in the martial arts arena are not inferior to those martial arts Jinshi, and he also won the first place in the provincial and ministerial examination.

Next, as long as the candidates in the palace examination can excel, then when the time comes, I will nominate him as the top scholar in martial arts, and I believe no one will stand up to oppose him.

"I can't prepare any questions for today's martial arts examination. How about letting these martial arts scholars perform their own work and offer advice for the future of the Great Song Dynasty?" The emperor lowered his voice and turned to Su Dongpo and Su Dongpo who were standing around Zhang Ye asked in a low voice.

As soon as the emperor said this, Su Dongpo, who was standing by the side, froze for a moment, and Zhang Wei also frowned. As the host of this martial arts, he hurriedly bowed to the emperor. "Your Majesty, if there is no question, I am afraid that when the time comes to judge, it will be difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior."

Zhang Yi's words are not unreasonable. If the more than 50 Wu Jinshi present have expressed their own opinions and said different things, then it is indeed difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior.

"Then according to Qing's opinion, what should we do?" Emperor Zhao Xu stroked his chin and asked in a low voice.

Su Dongpo next to him squinted his eyes and said in a low voice. "Now the Xixia envoys are in our country, and the Northern Liao Dynasty and our Great Song Dynasty are not disturbed. It's better...it's better to let those military officials come up with a strategy on how to govern and appease the southern border of our Great Song Dynasty. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

"Eh... that's right. There has been an endless stream of surrenders and rebellions in the southern border area of ​​our Song Dynasty. For a hundred years, this has been the most troublesome problem of our Song Dynasty. The court does not know how much manpower and material resources have been spent, but it has always yielded results. Very little. The Su Qing family's proposal is good, what do Zhang Qing think?" The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he turned his head and asked Zhang Qing.

Zhang Yu nodded after a moment of pondering. "The minister also agrees with Prime Minister Su's proposal. In this way, as soon as the policy is asked, we can naturally distinguish the good from the bad."

After the agreement, the emperor wrote down the questions with a royal pen, and then handed them over to the chief examiner, Zhang Yi, who read the questions aloud to the martial arts candidates who were already sitting behind the desk.

Wang Yang was also sitting in front of the table, emptied his mind, and was waiting for the martial arts exam questions, but when the emperor asked the privy envoy Zhang Yi to read out the exam questions, Wang Daguan was stunned at first, and then turned to Also understand the reason.

However, he has reacted, but there are still a large number of martial arts candidates who have not reacted at all. Many of them are hardworking and have done a lot of homework in the Northern Liao Dynasty and Xixia. The confident Wu Jinshi, At this moment, I feel as if I have fallen into an ice hole, and my whole body is cold.

This topic, this topic is really weird, isn't it?The popular Xixia and Northern Liao didn't have any, and it was just how to govern the southern border of the Song Dynasty.

And those civil and military officials who were whispering and guessing what kind of strategy the emperor would come up with were also stunned at this moment. They didn't expect that the emperor would find such a unique way and come up with such an unexpected strategy.

And there are quite a few officials who have been staring at Wang Yang all the time. Seeing the surprise that this guy showed after hearing the topic, um... It seems that His Majesty still wants to show some face, and didn't reveal the topic in advance. Give it to this guy, otherwise, there is no need to take the exam at all, he Wang Yang is definitely the first scholar of both civil and martial arts since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

Wang Yang studied ink slowly, while carefully looking at the topic schedule that was handed out to him, that is, how to govern those alien races who surrendered and rebelled in the Guangnan West Road area of ​​the Great Song Dynasty.

Is it difficult?Daguan Wang is an old driver who has known for 4000 years before and more than 1000 years later. Regarding this topic, hehe... If he can't even write the four words "reform the soil and return to the people", he might as well piss and drown himself Forget it.
