After Shao Song

Chapter 20 Ranking
These two people are no strangers to the emperor and ministers in the Imperial Palace.The former was the orphan of the late third prince of the Jin Kingdom. He was adopted as an adopted son by the official family and given the surname Zhao. Later, he was brought back to Tokyo to learn cultural knowledge. At that time, he was on Juehua Island in front of so many vassal monarchs and envoys. He said that when he passed the imperial examination, he would be released back to the Qing Dynasty.

But the question is, as a member of the Jinzhi clan of the Wanyan clan of the Jin Kingdom, when he goes back, or even whether he can go back, is up to him?It depends on the international situation!
So the question is, how did he come to this imperial examination? There should be someone keeping an eye on such a person.

Yang Yizhong and Yu Yunwen broke into cold sweats regardless of the heat and knelt down automatically.The officials may not have thought of it, but it doesn’t matter if they didn’t think of it.

The Zhao Guan family didn't know what to think for a moment. Taking Zhao Yong's strategy, they always felt that they seemed to have overlooked something. Was this a big figure in the history of the Jin Kingdom? It doesn't seem to be in "Shuo Yue".Why don't you have any impression on yourself?

That being the case, he has only been here for more than a year. How did he produce such a beautiful article?The person in charge in Taixue is not stupid, and he would not educate the two enemy hostages with all his heart. You must know that he has never used public tactics.

It turns out that although Zhao Yong's policy is not as pragmatic as Wang Shipeng's and is slightly inferior to Li Xiuzhi's literary talent, the whole article's views on Confucianism, especially Song Confucianism, are perfectly integrated into the four issues. From the standpoint of the Song Dynasty, he showed his scholarly demeanor and flattered the emperor and the governors without making any noise. No wonder all the high-ranking officials liked it and did not realize that this was a Tatar from a small Jin country. Zhang Jun even argued with Ma Shen. Should he be ranked second or third overall?

Now, the two of them glared angrily at Chen Kangbo, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine.

Chen Kangbo also had troubles that he couldn't express. He didn't dare to look at the officials anymore. Instead, he saluted the officials and said: "Guans, this little boy has been very honest since he came to Taixue. He never made many friends with others. He just sent home letters." I will report it first." With such a dry explanation, he felt even more powerless. For such a person to write such a beautiful article, doesn't it show your incompetence and ineffective supervision?Why did you take care of Zhao Liang, but he suddenly had a high fever and couldn't come to the palace examination, but when he arrived at Zhao Yong's place, he didn't care about it?

Li Guang, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but lose his temper and said: "Chen Jijiu, the official family adopted these two noble sons of the Wanyan family as adopted sons and brought them to the Imperial Academy. For what reason, who of you doesn't know?" Yes. Your negligence has ruined the overall situation of the country and messed up the layout of the government. To put it more seriously, is it worthy of the soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed in the fight against the Jin Dynasty? Is it worthy of the government and me who have tolerated each other for ten years? country?" He did not become a militant, but as a conscientious scholar-bureaucrat, but he was afraid that if the north was not stable, there would be another war, and then there would be some unnecessary sacrifices.Just this possibility was enough to make him excited. After all, he was old, his veins were bulging, and his head was a little dizzy. Thanks to Chen Gongfu, he was behind him and quickly helped him.

Chen Kangbo was so scolded that he didn't dare to speak back. It wasn't that he was so afraid of this Yushi Zhongcheng, because this matter was indeed wrong, and if it was really investigated, he was more responsible than Yang Yizhong, so he could only swallow his face and bury his head even deeper. Low.

Zhang Jun suddenly said at this time: "Li Xiantai must not be so angry. There is no room for redemption in this matter. The list of candidates for the imperial examination has not been announced yet?"

The person present was not a political veteran, and he understood what Zhang Jun meant instantly. Yes, for the sake of national stability, what does it matter if you operate in secret. As for the fairness of the imperial examination, at the national strategic level, it is nothing.

Does anyone care?
While everyone was talking, Zhao Ding carefully read his article several times and suddenly said: "He wrote, 'Promoting the Tao is more important than sincerity, and then encourage each other. This is a violation of Emperor Xuanjo's sacred law. It's taboo and should be deposed."

All the ministers were overjoyed when they heard it, and passed it on to pass it on. The Prime Minister is still of a level.Yes, since entering Confucian society, it has become a custom to avoid taboos.The son avoids the taboo of the father, and the minister avoids the taboo of the monarch.Not to mention, there was a prime minister in the early Song Dynasty whose real name was Lu Yin, but he had to change his name to Lu Yuqing for Song Taizu; there was another prime minister at the time of Taizong, Shen Yilun, who also changed his name to Shen Lun after Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne.

As for Emperor Xuanzong, he was the father of Taizu Taizong of the Song Dynasty. Although he died long ago and never had an emperor's addiction, he was the ancestor recognized by the emperors of Zhao and Song dynasties. His surname was Zhao Hongyin, so strictly speaking, classmate Zhao Yong The taboo is big.It's just that the officials have been very willful in recent years and don't pay much attention to these things. Everyone doesn't pay much attention to it. In addition, Zhao Yong became a monk halfway and was very unfamiliar with the ancestor of Zhao and Song Dynasty. He didn't pay attention to it for a while, but now that he is investigating, he is a Big clue, although the Song Dynasty was relatively relaxed about this kind of thing, we can do whatever we want.

Zhao Guanjia suddenly said: "It's inappropriate, this is unfair."

All the ministers suspected that they were hallucinating. Official, you were able to scrape gold powder from Buddha statues, rob monks of their wealth, put your father and brother under house arrest and destroy Xixia on the pretext of protecting the environment. These things were vivid in my mind, and you suddenly said such moral words. Come on, if we believe it, we'll be in trouble.

Of course, Zhao Guanjia was not that pedantic, but he suddenly remembered that when he was reading the history forum in his previous life, there was an analysis that complained about Song Xiaozong, which meant that he was a Mingjun but had no ministers for the Northern Expedition, and the opposite Jin Shizong was recognized as the No. [-] of the Jin Kingdom. Yi Mingjun successfully implemented the Sinicization reform, so he abdicated in frustration after the failure of the Northern Expedition.

Looking at this Jin Guo who had already shown his extraordinary abilities at such a young age, no, a Qing aristocrat, he suddenly felt that nine out of ten he was this person.

So here’s the problem. Since he is a smart young man, he will definitely not get into trouble, but it is also impossible that he will not have any ideas.But can the leader who is not from the Wanyan family tolerate him?Zhao Guan's family doesn't want to fight anymore, but this doesn't mean that he doesn't want to watch the Jurchens become more chaotic.

However, "It is true that Zhao Yong violated the taboo, and since he is my adopted son, it is even more unforgivable. Then he will be demoted to the fifth equal Jinshi. He is allowed to return to the Qing Dynasty and go to Beijing before October."

The ministers were helpless and wanted to protest, but Zhao Guanjia continued: "Li Xiuzhi will fill in the top five, and the latter will fill in the ranks in turn. For such a young guy, Taifa (Li Guangzi), you should be careful, don't be easily caught and used as a prisoner." son-in-law."

Li Guang was speechless for a moment, and Zhao Guanjia continued: "Everything must be said to others. Zhao Yong is really a little bit beyond my expectation, but I think this is an opportunity, and please believe me. The Jurchens' 10,000+ soldiers and horses were all captured." I and you are gone, so what are we afraid of?"

You have said so, who can refuse to give face, otherwise it means that you do not trust the officials.It's not that there are no die-hards, it's just that in the past ten years, the Zhao Guan family has been really trustworthy in important matters, so the ministers had no choice but to say yes and wait for the future.

In this way, the top five were officially established, namely Wang Shipeng, Li Tao, Liang Su, Ye Yiwen, and Li Xiuzhi.The youngest is only twenty, except for Ye Yiwen who is already forty.The rest are all young people in their early twenties, who are just as young as they should be.

Of course, it would be even crazier to catch a son-in-law under the list.

For example, Duke Lu finally succeeded this time and sent his servants to ambush Li Xiuzhi in advance, successfully tricking Li Xiuzhi away and selling him a granddaughter.Li Guang was so angry that he jumped to his feet. I must have a daughter, right?

Li Tao was surrounded by servants dispatched by Chen Gui who were even more discerning and quick-handed. He successfully used a large collection of books stolen and deceived as bait to impress this famous historian.

As for Wang Shipeng, he insisted that he already had a fiancée in his hometown and had already rejected several families, but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the wealthy people at all.

At this time, the Zhao Guan family faced Zhang Rong, with a look of astonishment on their faces, and asked, "Are you attracted to the Jinshi son-in-law again, or is it Fan Chengda?"

Zhang Rong was most convinced by the officials. Hearing this, he said with a tearful face: "I know it's embarrassing for Your Majesty, but I can't live up to expectations. As for the three girls, I have to worry about them."

"But I clearly remember that your second daughter was born after Yaoshan, and she is only seven years old."

"It's okay, isn't Xiao Fan only fourteen? And when I look at the child, I feel honest and honest. He doesn't look like someone from a wealthy family, but as simple as a farmer."

Zhao Guanjia: I really don’t know whether you are praising someone or scolding someone?

　Except for Li Xiuzhi, the top five are all famous figures in history.
