Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

In the third year of Saint An's reign, it is the first day of September.

Early that morning, Lin Feng was sleeping soundly in bed when he was suddenly woken up. When he opened his eyes, a beautiful face appeared in front of him. Lin Feng opened his mouth and kissed her without saying a word.

Every time Lu Qiuya wakes up Lin Feng, he will be kissed by Lin Feng. This has become a habit. Lu Qiuya sees her husband doting on her so much, so she naturally enjoys it. This is the so-called married life!

"Husband, have you kissed me enough? Get up quickly if you have kissed me enough. You have to go to court today, so you must not be late."

Hearing that he was going to the morning court, Lin Feng reluctantly got up from the bed and started to wash up with Lu Qiuya waiting on him.

After breakfast, Lin Feng, escorted by Miyahara and the imperial guards, drove the carriage towards the palace. Soon he arrived at the empty field outside the gate of the Imperial Palace. A group of civil and military ministers had been waiting here for a long time. General Cheng Wuwei was waiting there. He was talking to a group of generals, and when he saw Lin Feng arriving, he immediately waved to him.

Lin Feng walked over quickly and bowed his hands politely, "Mr. Cheng! Lin Feng has met all of you!"

Cheng Wuwei reached out and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder, "Lin Feng, I have already discussed it with them. I will propose to Your Majesty the martial arts competition in a while. You must put in a good word for us when the time comes!"

"Mr. Cheng, please rest assured. I brought up the matter of the martial arts examination first, and I will naturally try my best to facilitate it."

Cheng Wuwei stroked his beard with a pleased expression, "Okay, okay, I will be more confident with your words."

"The Mao hour has arrived, and all the officials have entered the palace."

At this moment, the voice of the chamberlain came, and the door of the Chaozheng Palace opened, and everyone began to enter the hall one by one.

Lin Feng came to the court meeting as a cabinet councilor. He had the lowest official position among the ministers. After entering the palace, he naturally stood in the last row.

This is the second time that Lin Feng has gone to court since he was promoted to Cabinet Councilor. I remember that Lin Feng didn’t say a word in the last court meeting. To be honest, Lin Feng is a 20-year-old college student. He doesn’t understand the situation on some matters, so it’s really hard for him to express any opinions. .

After a while, Huangfu Gongcheng came in from the side entrance. All civil and military officials bowed and saluted, "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty."

After Huangfu succeeded, he waved his right hand and said, "Everyone is free!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Huangfu Gongcheng sat down on the dragon chair, Sun He immediately took two steps forward and shouted loudly: "I have already read this, and if there is nothing to do, I will withdraw from the court."

As soon as Sun He finished speaking, General Cheng Wuwei immediately came out and said, "Your Majesty, I will start the memorial."

"Bring it up!"

The chamberlain immediately presented the memorial. Huangfu successfully opened the memorial, looked at the contents carefully, and slowly said, "Cheng Aiqing wants to take the martial arts exam?"

"Your Majesty, it is true that there are fewer and fewer generals in the army who are good at fighting. Moreover, most of the generals are old and are in urgent need of replenishing young strength. Please grant your permission."

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, "What do you, dear friends, think of the general's proposal to hold martial arts competitions?"

"Your Majesty, this must not be done. Dayan has been pursuing the policy of governing the country with culture since the founding of the Taizu Dynasty. The promotion of generals depends entirely on military merit. If the military examination is launched, it will not violate the rules set by Emperor Taizu. Your Majesty, please think twice. ." Gu Zhang, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, was the first to stand up and object.

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

A number of civil servants stood up to support Gu Zhang and opposed the military examination.

Lin Feng had already expected this situation. Once the martial arts examination was held, the general's status in the court would definitely rise significantly. Naturally, the civil servants would not agree. This was a civil-military dispute in the court, and it had nothing to do with right or wrong.

According to the previously discussed countermeasures, Xue Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, in recent years, Bei Yuan's intention to go south has become more and more obvious. To prepare for a rainy day, I, Dayan, must also strengthen our military strength to prevent unexpected events. For the long-term peace and stability of Dayan, we must launch military force. It is imperative that you do something, so please make a clear decision, Your Majesty."

"I second my opinion, please make a clear decision, Your Majesty."

A number of military generals came forward to publicly support the opening of the martial arts competition.

The dispute between civil and military forces has existed since ancient times. Civil servants governed the country and military generals guarded the borders. Although Dayan emphasized civil servants over military officers, he still relied on military officers to go to war. Having strong military power was the guarantee for the long-term peace and stability of the country. This was naturally clear to Huangfu Gongzheng.

The ten-year border war during the Dekang period greatly depleted the imperial court's military strength. After the war, Emperor Suzong vigorously developed the military, and the status of the General's Office also greatly increased. Only then did he maintain peace with the Northern Yuan Dynasty for 15 years. .

According to reliable news from the Jingjian Department, Beiyuan has been expanding its army in recent years and has great intentions of going south. The Luo Hong incident happened some time ago. Although Beiyuan finally paid money and apologized, Liang Zi can be considered settled. Once the opportunity arises, the Northern Yuan Dynasty will definitely raise its troops and go south. This is the historical fate of the Northern Nomadic Dynasty and the Central Plains Farming Dynasty and cannot be avoided.

At this moment, Huangfu Gongcheng thought a lot. The launch of martial arts was indeed in line with Dayan's current national conditions. As long as Dayan had a large number of generals who were good at fighting, Beiyuan would not dare to go south easily.

However, the civil servants in the DPRK unanimously opposed the launch of military examinations, and Emperor Taizu's national policy emphasized civility over military affairs. Huangfu had to take various circumstances into consideration for his success, and he really couldn't make up his mind.

Just when Huangfu was in a dilemma, he suddenly thought of Lin Feng, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "The Marquis of Jiangling."

Lin Feng immediately stepped out and said, "I'm here."

Huangfu Gongcheng looked up and then waved to Lin Feng, "The Marquis of Jiangling came forward to answer."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Lin Feng quickly walked to the front of the hall and stood up.

"Lin Aiqing, tell me whether I should do this martial arts test?"

Lin Feng quickly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that as long as it is beneficial to Dayan, we should do it. Opening the martial arts examination can select a large number of outstanding generals for Dayan. It will be beneficial to the country and harmless. It should be done naturally."

"Your Majesty, since the establishment of the imperial examination system, literati have obtained merit through the imperial examination. The military examination system has never been seen in the past dynasties. Warriors kill enemies on the battlefield in exchange for military merit in exchange for official positions. It is inappropriate to change ministers rashly." Shangshu Xia Yuandao.

"Master Xia, what you said is wrong. The rules are all set by people. What's the harm in changing them as long as it is beneficial to the country? Although the world is peaceful, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. Please give your Majesty a clear warning."

Huangfu Gongcheng thought for a while, then nodded, "What Lin Aiqing said is true. Although the world is peaceful, if you forget about war, you will be in danger. According to my decree, from now on, Dayan will implement a system of concurrent civil and military examinations."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The generals were overjoyed and bowed one after another. Their salaries were paid immediately, and their eyes looked at Lin Feng with gratitude.

His Majesty has made a decision, and it is natural for the civil servants to object. However, the look in their eyes when they looked at Lin Feng had the word traitor written directly on their faces.

Lin Feng had known for a long time that doing so would offend the civil service group. There was no way that the Cheng family could be grateful to Qiu Ya for giving medicine. Moreover, he had brought up the matter of martial arts exams first. In order for Cheng Shengnan to find a suitable husband, he could only do this. .

"The first martial arts examination in Dayan will be held after the spring siege next year. General Cheng Wuwei will be appointed as the chief examiner. Xue Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Gao Rong, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Xiao Jun, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Lin Feng, the cabinet counselor, and the four of you will serve as deputy In charge of the examination, Shen Yan, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, will serve as the invigilator. After returning home, the six beloved ministers must come up with a specific plan for holding the martial arts examination as soon as possible, and I will personally review it."

The six people whose names were read came out of the queue and bowed their hands in salute, "I obey your order!"
