Chapter 187 3 Armor

Chapter 187 Top Three
In order not to let himself have preconceived notions, Zhao Zhen didn't look at the names covered by the papers when reviewing. He kept looking at the three test papers, finally tore the papers, and looked at the names of the three people. The names are Wang Yaochen, Han Qi, and Ouyang Xiu.

Although Ouyang Xiu's article is good and his imagination is rich, it is still somewhat divorced from reality and does not start from the basic national conditions of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Zhao Zhen finally only ordered him No. 3 in the imperial examination-Tanhua.

Han Qi’s article in this imperial examination analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the land equalization system and the state-owned land system from beginning to end. However, due to his cautious character, he finally concluded that the Da Song Dynasty is not suitable for implementing the land equalization system. As for Gansu Road and Taiwan Road The implementation of the state-owned system of land is caused by a specific environment and requires special treatment.

However, Wang Yaochen's article believed that both the land equalization system and the state-owned land system have advantages and disadvantages. Of course, his analysis is not as comprehensive as that of later generations, but it still speaks to Zhao Zhen's heart. And the state-owned system of land, then the most fundamental problem is that the imperial court has to control more land, at least [-] to [-]% of the land in the Song Dynasty. of.

In history, the No. [-] scholar in the fifth year of Tiansheng was Wang Yaochen. Zhao Zhen did not expect that this famous official of the Northern Song Dynasty, who combined calligraphy and literature, would have such insights when faced with his ingenious palace examination questions.

Therefore, it was finally decided to select Wang Yaochen as the No. [-] pick, Han Qi as the No. [-] pick, and Ouyang Xiu as the No. [-] pick.

After the position of the top three was determined, Zhao Zhen began to read the remaining 4 test papers, and decided the rankings from 5 to 6. In the end, No. 7 in the palace test was determined to be Bao Zheng, No. 8 Wen Yanbo, and No. 9 Wang. Su, No.10 Li Shu, No.[-] Zhao Gai, No.[-] Wu Yu, No.[-] Liu Yong.As for the rest of the test papers, Zhao Zhen handed them over to the roster of Hanlin scholars.

The next day, outside the Donghua Gate, 244 Jinshi were dressed in white and black uniforms waiting for the final result of the palace examination. Of course, today is also the peak moment for them to study hard for ten years and sing outside the Donghua Gate.

All the servants knew that Yang Huaimin held the imperial decree, and then read aloud: "Jinshi Yijia No. 1, Yingtian Wang Yaochen!"

"Jinshi Yijia No.2, Anyang Han Qi!"

"Jinshi No. 3, Yongfeng Ouyang Xiu!"

Every time Yang Huaimin sang, someone came out to the front and bowed respectfully, and then rearranged the queue according to the ranking, waiting for the official to summon.

Empress Dowager Liu E and Concubine Yang led Zhao Zhen's empress and concubines to sit not far away to join in the fun.

Although Liu E couldn't see her eyes, she still said: "It seems that today's officials are not keen on drafting, so if you have sisters who are waiting to be married in your family, you might as well choose from this group of Jinshi!"

"He'er! Go and see for Ai's family, how is the number one scholar in this department?"

Liu E said to Miao Xinhe, who was only four or five years old.

Miao Xinhe glanced into the distance and said to Liu E, "My lord! The number one scholar is not good-looking!"

Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "The second place in this subject and Tanhua are both pretty good!"

Miao Xinhe sized her up again, then pouted and said, "It's not pretty at all!"

Everyone was amused immediately, and Cao Danshu asked, "Who does He'er think looks better?"

Miao Xinhe thought for a while, and then said innocently: "He'er thinks they look good, but they are not as good-looking as the official family!"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed coquettishly, but in their hearts they took the official family and these Jinshi for a fortune, and still thought the official family was good-looking.

After the Palace Examination, according to the usual practice, the top three entered the Imperial Academy as servants, focusing on training, and the rest of Jinshi were dispatched as officials, or waited to fill the vacancies, but Zhao Zhen did not do this, but let everyone stay in the official residence, waiting for the court to arrange.

Most of the Jinshi were singles, so the ministers in the court began to take the initiative to get married. The number one scholar, Wang Yaochen, had already been married, so everyone was chasing the unmarried Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu.

In the end, Han Qi married the daughter of Cui Li, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Ouyang Xiu married the eldest daughter of the governor Xue Kui.

In the Chongzheng Palace, the Prime Minister Wang once said: "Officials! The imperial examinations have been held this year. According to the regulations, it is time to send officials, but the officials let a group of Jinshi wait in the official building. I don't know what the officials mean. ?”

Deputy Prime Minister Lu Yijian said: "Officials! Now there are vacancies for officials in various parts of the imperial court. Last year, 30 people were relocated to Taiwan Road, and several counties were newly built on Taiwan Road. Now both Taiwan Road and Gansu Road are short of officials. At that time, the imperial court should send officials as soon as possible!"

Zhao Zhen said: "I have asked people to choose a side hall near the Kaifeng Imperial Palace, and plan to change it into a Song Dynasty official school. There are administrative departments and criminal law departments under it. I plan to let all the top three Jinshi study in the Song Dynasty official school. The period ranges from three months to three years, and then he will be dispatched as an official according to his achievements!"

"What I mean is that among this group of Jinshi, if there is someone who is good at government, the official will be appointed as the magistrate of a county; The official school of the Song Dynasty is to examine their strengths, so that they can be placed in suitable official positions, so that they can learn something, and then use it to benefit the people!"

Zhao Zhen actually wants to establish a lot of subjects, such as studying objects, business, astronomy, etc., but at the moment everything is a scratch, and he can only take his time and change it bit by bit.

Deputy Prime Minister Lu Zongdao said: "If this is the case, those Jinshi who have been sent to the Ministry of Industry do not know when the officials plan to send officials!"

Zhao Zhen thought for a while, and said: "It was supposed to be sent down for half a year, but now it's changed to three months. After three months, I will also enter the Song Dynasty official school to study!"

A servant suddenly came in hurriedly, then bowed his head and said: "Officials! Just now there is news from outside the palace! The king of Chu is dead!"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help being surprised. Although Song Taizu had nine sons, after Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne, only the eldest son Zhao Yuanzuo and the eighth son Zhao Yuanyan survived. Although Zhao Yuanzuo's spirit was up and down, Zhao Zhen still gave him a lot Wait for the Prince.

After the dynasty was over, Zhao Zhen went to the Chu Palace to express his condolences. He said a few words to Zhao Yunyan, the son of the Chu King, and was about to get up and go back to the palace. , bumped into Zhao Zhen who was about to leave.

The boy was only four or five years old. A collision made him fall backwards, and he was held in Zhao Zhen's arms.

"who are you?"

The boy looked at the very kind-looking person in front of him and asked.

Suddenly Weijun Wang Zhao Yunrang ran in with a panicked expression, and then said tremblingly: "Xiao Er Zongshi has no intention of colliding with the official family. I don't know the face of the sky, and I hope the official family will forgive me!"

Zhao Zhen looked at the four or five-year-old child in his arms, and then he was a little stunned. How could Zhao Zongshi be born so early?Shouldn't it?According to historical records, Song Yingzong Zhao Zongshi was born in the tenth year of Tiansheng. Why is Zhao Zongshi so old in the fifth year of Tiansheng?
