Chapter 904
Yanjing.

What is the capital of the Northern regime doing while the South is surging?

It seems that nothing has been done, that is, running in and out, the various ministries assist in the military, and while recovering the Northern Third Road, hold the second round of the provincial examination in the imperial examination.

The most familiar imperial examination process in later generations is the county examination, the government examination, the court examination, the township examination, the general examination, and the palace examination. There are six examinations in total, and the highest glory of "six yuan in a row" was born from this. The six examinations are all the first. One, known as "there are three yuans in the world, but there are no six poems in the world".

But that was the rule in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, there was no previous junior exam, and the imperial examination was only divided into three major exams.

The first one is the examination of the state armies all over the world. Those who pass the examination are called Gongsheng, also known as Juren. Only with this qualification can they go to Beijing to take the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites.

Note, however, that this qualification is one-time. If you pass the examination but fail to pass the provincial examination, you will have to start all over again in the next imperial examination.

So the real key is actually the second provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites. This examination selects [-] to [-] qualified candidates from nearly [-] tribute students in the [-] military prefectures. These people are the Jinshi of Guangzong Yaozu .

In the third palace examination, the ranking is determined, and the candidates will not be dismissed, only the ranking will be determined.

There are different opinions about the reasons for this. The most famous miscellaneous history statement is that Zhang Yuan was deposed from the palace examination, and finally defected to Xixia in anger. The battle of Haoshuichuan assisted Xixia to defeat the Song army. Luoshizi, as well as the famous Jinshi, were specially promoted in order to appease the Gongsheng students who failed the examination repeatedly.

In these three exams, the highest honors are Lianzhong Sanyuan, Jieyuan, Provincial Yuan, and Number One Scholar. A total of six people in the Song Dynasty won this honor. Feng Jing is the most well-known to later generations.

When Yan Ting opened the imperial examination, the examination mode did not change, and did not adopt the six-examination mode. It was still the solution test-provincial test-temple test, but the details changed.

For example, the time has been shortened a lot this time. In just two months, more than [-] tribute students from all states and counties in the Central Plains gathered in Yanjing and lived in the tribute student dormitory arranged by the Ministry of Rites.

Literary elites from all over the world gather. In the past, they would hold poetry gatherings, meet friends through literature, and gain a reputation among scholars. Because they have enough time, they can stay in the capital for half a year.

But this time when they gathered in the capital, it took less than a month, and the poetry meeting was immediately forgotten, and they all studied hard in the school.

After all, this imperial examination is the first one in the new dynasty, and the number of Jinshi admitted is extremely precious, and they must be frantically reviewed, and it will not be too late to show off after passing the exam.

As a result, the nearby bookstores became lively, especially Suian Bookstore.

"New version of "Three Years and Five Years"! New version of "Three Years and Five Years"!"

"Don't squeeze...don't grab...it's gone again...it's a gentle sweep! A gentle sweep!"

"Hands are fast, hands are slow, and scholars are eager to learn. How can it be called grabbing?"

Contrary to other people's complaints, Han Jinsun led more than [-] Han's tribute students to kill seven in and seven out. On average, each of them grabbed at least one volume, and successfully protruded from the book shop, his brows were full of joy.

Compilation of classic books has always been a grand event to highlight the literary excellence of a dynasty. Although this kind of title sea is different from the previous anthology, it is even more important because it is not compiled under the name, but His Royal Highness Yan personally compiled it.

Based on the foundation of the Xiangzhou Han family, and a thorough understanding of the king's preferences, are you afraid that you will not be able to stand out in the next provincial and palace examinations?

Just returning to the school happily, ready to swim in the sea of ​​questions, all the sons of the Han family found a crowd gathering on the street in the distance, rushing towards the west gate: "What's going on?"

Someone quickly inquired clearly: "It was Commander Hu Yan who led the army to triumph!"

Han Jinsun raised his eyebrows: "Good news! Go and see!"

A group of scholars gathered in the crowd holding the collection of questions, and soon saw Hu Yanzhuo sitting on a tall horse, waving to the people on both sides with a smile on his face.

Seeing that the Yongning Army was enjoying the treatment of returning heroes, all the strong and good families flocked to the conscription office, and then saw the sign that the recruitment would not be expanded, and they were very regretful and sighed.

Witnessing this scene, the elderly scholar looked worried, and said in a low voice: "There is a strong trend of promoting martial arts among the people, and the status of soldiers is too high. I am afraid that martial arts will overwhelm literature, and the world will be restless!"

"Where is this? It's not good to win a battle. Only when martial arts are prosperous can the world be peaceful!"

Quite a few young scholars were quite excited, and together with the flow of people, they wrote poems and sang victory.

"In just two months, has the 'bully' in the whole of Hedong been wiped out?"

In comparison, Han Jinsun watched silently and thought more deeply.

Hu Yanzhuo's pacification of Hedong can be said to be a sure thing, and there is no surprise at all.

However, the Yongning Army cooperated with the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment to criticize bullies, govern the powerful, and organize the soldiers. This process was thought to take at least half a year. Unexpectedly, in less than three months, Hu Yanzhuo returned to Beijing and returned to his order. The information exposed behind it was It's big.

"Focus on the people, uphold justice, fight against bullies, govern the powerful..."

"With repeated successes, the imperial government's political strategy has been implemented faster and faster in all areas of the former Song Dynasty!"

Han Jinsun felt awe and joy in his heart.

Now the strength of the Yan army is unstoppable in the north, but they did not rush to conquer all the territory of the previous dynasty. It is precisely in the process of marching that they want to implement the ruling philosophy.

To put it bluntly, it is necessary to straighten out the chaos of landlords and nobles from all walks of life through war, and even the families of generals in the northwest border are under review.

Fortunately, his father, Han Jiayan, had the foresight to sweep out the black sheep in the family. Recently, he sold the family land and opened a private school. The Xiangzhou Han family has done a lot of good deeds, and their reputation has improved immediately. The number of tribute students this time is also a big harvest. It seems that the new dynasty can continue to be prosperous again, and look at the once majestic Zhending Wang family, which has been submerged in the dust of the old dynasty.

Gathering his mind, Han Jinsun warned the children in the family: "The king pays attention to the combination of civil and martial arts. Now that Yan's army has won many victories, we, as scholars, should also govern the country and manage the people. Go back and study hard!"

All Han's sons responded: "Yes!"

"When it comes to fighting alone, I won't lose to these soldiers. When it comes to marching in formation, I will one day be better than them. When I, Hu Sanniang, grow up and go to the battlefield, I will definitely beat those thieves to pieces!"

On the other side of the street, three little ladies covered in veils and carrying book bags also looked at the Yongning Army. Among them, Hu Sanniang's eyes were shining brightly, and she clenched her fists, eager to try.

Hua Xiaomei gently tugged at her sleeve: "San Niang!"

Hu Sanniang smiled and said: "Little sister, you are also practicing martial arts now, and you will be a deputy general in the future. Wouldn't it be fun for us to go out to kill thieves together?"

Hua Xiaomei has indeed been practicing martial arts in the women's college recently, and her thin body has become much healthier, but she shook her head again and again: "I...I dare not fight with others...Senior sister seems to be depressed...Look at her..."

Hu Sanniang noticed Li Shishi only now, and after a period of training, she also changed her address: "Senior Senior Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Li Shishi stood out with his hands behind his back. He saw his demeanor for the first time, but his usually smart and intelligent gaze was slightly blank at the moment, obviously thinking about other things. He woke up when he heard the words: "It's okay... let's go!"

Hu Sanniang patted her small chest, full of loyalty: "After you entered the palace yesterday, you came back out of your mind, and you still said it's okay? Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, we will help you!"

Li Shishi slowly said: "Your Majesty taught me a secret method, I can observe King Ming, but King Ming's aura is weak, as if he has just been hurt, he is very timid, he has been hiding, it is difficult for me to communicate, that's why I am very troubled..."

The Vajra Indestructible Buddha she was visualizing was catching the thread of belief in the other party, but that statue had absorbed part of the essence of Buddhism, but it was a specious existence, with broken threads all over its body, trying to dodge it, which gave her quite a headache. Thinking about how to appease.

The topic was too high-end, Hu Sanniang and Hua Xiaomei looked at each other in dismay: "Why don't we... let's talk about martial arts or study?"

Li Shishi laughed: "Don't talk about this, it's rare for Mr. to return to the academy today, so don't delay, otherwise you will be snatched away by those who want to flatter you all day long!"

Hu Sanniang cheered and took the lead: "Let's go!"

The three young ladies came to the women's section of Suian Academy, and saw groups of female soldiers patrolling everywhere, and the sturdy female general at the head was Mrs. Gu.

This guy got along with Hu Sanniang quite well, and smiled from a distance: "Sanniang, you guys are late today, many of Wang Hao's 'students' have arrived!"

Hu Sanniang rushed over: "Sister Gu, Commander Hu Yan returned to Beijing to return to command. The Yongning Army is so majestic. When will our Detachment of Women officially become an organizational system?"

This group of female soldiers has not been formally customized, and now they are personal bodyguards. Mrs. Gu originally wanted women to join the army, but later realized that the women's army of the former Tang Pingyang Princess was a product of a special period after all. Ordinary women want to occupy a place too. It's difficult, so she has recently attached more and more importance to women's colleges: "Study hard, there will be such a day!"

Hu Sanniang stuck out her tongue: "Why are you talking more and more like Senior Sister?"

Li Shishi saluted and said: "Commander Gu, when can we see the princess?"

Aunt Gu smiled and said, "I'll see you soon, the princess can't bear to be disturbed now, and those wives are blocked by us in the vestibule, the three ladies go!"

"Thank you!"

The three girls were overjoyed, and immediately walked quickly into the backyard, but when they came to the front of the house, they slowed down again, until a beautiful woman with her head buried at the desk and focused expression appeared in sight.

But including the maidservant standing beside him, everyone's eyes are always on each other's belly intentionally or unintentionally, even if they can't see anything from the outside...

The happiest thing in the imperial court recently is not that Hedong was pacified and included in the territory, nor is it that the Liao Kingdom obediently presented old coins and horses, but that the princess is happy!

This is a great joyous event related to the fate of the country!
