The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 823 Another Year List
Yinger gave birth to another boy.

Not long after, Zhao Dongting held the child in his hands, and before going to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to his ancestors, he said directly: "The prince born to Concubine De, I named him Zhao An. At this time, our Great Song Dynasty is facing danger again. At this time of crisis, I hope that this child can bring peace and well-being to the Great Song Dynasty!"

Everyone in the courtyard fell to their knees again.

Zhao An, Zhao An, Guotai Minan.

On the same day, the Ministry of State finally posted the list of Jinshi for this year's imperial examination outside the palace.

The imperial examination has ended more than ten days ago.

The release of the rankings this year is a few days later than last year, but this is because the time for reviewing the examination papers is longer than last year.

Although none of last year's Jinshi directly flew up to the branches and turned into phoenixes, they still let the poor students see hope.This makes the number of births in the palace examination this year much higher than last year.

The promotion order of Zhong Jian and others signed by Zhao Dongting a month ago also made this imperial examination equally important.

Although it may be difficult to get a high official position just after passing the Jinshi examination, as long as they perform well, they can make a career in the officialdom!
You know, Zhong Jian was only the deputy director of the Shaozhou Agriculture Department last year.But this year, Ke was directly promoted to the director of the Shaozhou Agriculture Department.

And that Mao Jue and others were also promoted to official positions.

Don't look at it as just a letter difference, but the difference between them is huge.

In the past, officials who wanted to change from deputy to principal had no choice but to work hard for several years.There is no one who can be promoted so fast like the last Jinshi.

The emperor is not reluctant to appoint officials, but wants to be careful and appoint officials to those who are truly capable.

Anyone with a little discernment can see this.

Ever since, the place where the list was released was a magnificent scene of crowds of people.

Many students and their family members rubbed shoulders in the crowd, which made the guards who had to maintain order sweat profusely and had to yell a few words from time to time.

"I hit! I hit!"

"Ancestor bless!"

"My child is in high school!"

"My old Li's family is finally going to honor their ancestors!"

"I... I failed the ranking..."

The moment the imperial list was posted, the crowd almost dispersed the guards.Countless people's eyes were fixed on the dozen or so emperor lists.

This time the imperial list is a little different from last year, it has been divided into categories.Such as the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Construction, the list of Confucian generals, the list of fierce generals, etc...

Zhao Dongting really wants to make the best use of his talents.

There are a total of 290 eight winners, which is more than double that of last year.

However, there is no mention of Zhao Dongting's imperial pen.

Jinshi of each department is ranked from high to low, and the leader is naturally the best in the palace examination.But after all, it is still not as popular as Zhong Jian last year.

Until a long time in the past, there were still many people gathered in front of the imperial list.

Some people were really reluctant to leave, looking at these imperial lists in despair.

There are also Jinshi who want to leave but can't, because they already have officials and rich people from Changsha, and even figures from big families in other places are talking to them.

The most common way is of course getting married.

Of course, there are things like apprenticeship and so on.

Apprenticeship is a very prudent thing these days, and a disciple is equivalent to half a son.

Which family they come from and who their master is will have a great impact on the promotion and ups and downs of these Jinshi in the court in the future.

As for those fierce generals and Confucian generals, they were taken away by officials from the Ministry of Military Aircraft, the Ministry of Military Industry, and the Ministry of Military Science before these big figures or representatives got close to them.

Now is a special time.And their fate will be different from those Jinshi last year.

Especially fierce generals, I am afraid that they will go to the army to serve in the army in a short time.

And the matter of Zhao An's birth and the release of the ranking finally temporarily suppressed the limelight of Emperor Gong's assassination.At least in this city of Changsha.

Two more days.

Suddenly a carrier pigeon arrived at the Changsha Palace.

The little eunuch Yi Shiyu hurried to the imperial study again.

Zhao Dongting met Yi Shiyu in the Imperial Study Room, and after reading the secret letter, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he murmured, "Is it still going to war after all..."

This secret letter was sent back through the spies of the military intelligence department hiding in the middle of Shu.

According to the above, Longyou, Huben, Xionghao, Antlers, Eagles, Iron Horse, and the Zhentian army left the barracks from various places and headed eastward at the same time.

The number of people is unknown.

Isn’t the east of central Shu just Kuizhou Road?
The Chongqing government guarded by Yue Peng is afraid that it will bear the brunt.

After letting Yi Shiyu retreat, Zhao Dongting grabbed the secret letter in his hand and immediately ordered Zhu Hecong, "He Cong, go announce the two generals Zhao Da and Zhao Hu! And General Miao Youli!"

Zhu Hecong immediately ran out of the imperial study.

Not long after, Zhao Da, Zhao Hu and Miao Youli rushed to the Imperial Study Room.All three of them were wearing armor.

Seeing them like this, Zhao Dongting couldn't help showing a slight smile on his face: "It seems that you all know what Zhenxuan you are here for?"

Zhao grinned and said, "Your Majesty, I have already prepared my brothers these days. Just say, let us fight somewhere."

Miao Youli also said: "The last general, Tianshang Army, is also ready to fight."

Hearing this, Zhao Hu smiled beside him, "Uncle Miao, don't compete with us for this opportunity."

Miao Youli blushed immediately, "You bastard, if you want to say I'm old, just say so. Why didn't you call me Uncle Miao so politely before?"

Zhao Hu just laughed.

He, Zhao Da, and Miao Youli were both generals guarding Changsha in the Military Aircraft Province, so it was inevitable that they would have to get close to each other often, so they spoke quite casually.

Zhao Da still felt that Miao Youli was not stimulated enough, and said beside him: "Uncle Miao, you don't think your Heavenly Injury Army is the opponent of our Flying Dragon Army?"

Miao's eyes widened in the right direction, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only angrily say, "You two bastards!"

Although the Tianshang Army is the forbidden army, it is really no match for the Feilong Army, a special force.

In the past few years, Zhao Dongting has filled the Feilong Army with the best weapons and the best soldiers. Just the starting point, the Feilong Army is much higher than the rest of the army.

Even the special forces in the rest of the Forbidden Army, in terms of individual combat capabilities, may not be able to pull out to compete with the Feilong soldiers now.

Zhao Dongting couldn't laugh or cry.

These guys are afraid that they have been idle in Changsha for too long, and they haven't said anything yet, but they started fighting first.

But yes, counting the time, excluding the civil war where Zhang Jue conquered Yongzhou, the Song Dynasty had already fought on a large scale for more than two and a half years.

People like Zhao Da and Zhao Hu followed him to kill them when they were in Leizhou, so they might have been itchy for a long time.

Military generals are not civil servants, and without fighting, they will inevitably feel empty in their hearts.

"Shut up."

Zhao Dongting glared at Zhao Da and Zhao Hu angrily, "You two reckless bastards, General Miao is your elder no matter what, if you continue to behave like this, get the hell out of here."

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu clearly knew that Zhao Dongting was only half joking, but they couldn't help shrinking their necks and dared not say any more.

Miao Youli winked at this brother with some pride.

In terms of age and qualifications, he is indeed much deeper than Zhao Da and Zhao Hu.Even among the major imperial guards, only Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Jue and a few others could compete with him for qualifications.Before the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed, he was already the head of the Dianqian Division.

Zhao Dongting's eyes fell on Miao Youli, and he said again: "General Miao, I expect you to organize the army immediately and set off for the Chongqing Mansion within two days. You are a veteran of the imperial court, and I named you Deputy Commander of Zhenxi, You and Marshal Yue are in charge of the battle to the west of the Great Song Kingdom. Yue Peng is still young, so he will inevitably be impulsive. You have to watch him from the sidelines. If you can't persuade him, send a letter to me and let me make a decision. "

"The last general takes orders!"

Miao's right eye suddenly shone.

Yue Peng took the lead in capturing Chongqing Mansion last time, so he failed to go there.This time, he finally didn't have to stay in Changsha City anymore.

"Your Majesty, let's fly dragon army..."

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu were a little anxious.

They are the most elite army in the Song Dynasty, but judging from the situation, the emperor seems to want them to guard Changsha City!
At this time, Zhao Dongting's eyes fell on them, and said: "Zhao Da, Zhao Hu, you two lead the Feilong Army and wait for ten days, and when the grain and grass in Tanzhou are gathered, you can transport the grain and grass to Chongqing Mansion." .After arriving at the Chongqing Mansion, I will follow the command of Marshal Yue and Deputy Marshal Miao. I will not destroy the White Horse Army in Central Shu, so you don’t have to come back to see me.”
