Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The winter of the 9th year of Xuanwu has arrived. In the eastern part of Liaoning, the overwhelming snow fell and the whole world turned silver.

The cold wind howled, more than ten people were galloping on the wasteland.

The sky was about to get dark and the temperature was getting lower and lower. At this moment, the sound of horseshoes was faintly heard in the distance.

"My lord, I'll check it out!" a guard dressed up humanely.

"Okay! Be careful!" A tall young man, who seemed to be the leader of these people, nodded immediately.

The guard moved forward, and after about a quarter of an hour, the guard came here with another group of people!

These people are all dressed up as soldiers, but they don't wear armor, but thick cotton uniforms.

"Master Yu, is that you?" a general laughed.

"General Li!" The tall young man walked over and said with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I really didn't expect to meet you here!" The general is not very old, he said with a look of joy.

"It's getting dark, let's find a place to rest first, and then talk slowly." The young man laughed.

The two groups of them merged into one and headed forward together.

After leaving for about an hour, a broken ancient temple appeared in front of him. This group of people entered the ancient temple to escape the wind and snow.

Soon, there was a fire in the ancient temple, and some people were cooking there, while the young man and the general were sitting by the fire, talking and laughing.

"Your Majesty summoned the Minister of Heaven and Earth to discuss the basic system of the imperial court. This is the most important thing after the war!" The young man laughed while poking the fire.

"The system of the imperial court is completely different from before, and I don't know if it is good or bad!" the general said.

"What your majesty did, reforming the old system, would only benefit the country! If it weren't for your majesty's leadership, it would be almost impossible for us to defeat Jurchen and win Yanyun and Liaodong! The two supreme emperors are far worse than your majesty. , Even Taizu and Emperor Taizong may not be able to compare with your majesty! I believe in your majesty's talents!" said the young man.

"That's a good point! This day, Minister Wu, soldiers and common people, there is no disrespect to your majesty. Everyone believes in your majesty's ability! I just hope that your majesty will reform the old system and prevent turmoil in the world." The general said.

"There can be no turmoil in the world! After the war for many years, the people's mind is determined. As long as the policy does not oppress the people or make the people unable to live, there will be no chaos in the world! What's more, your Majesty's reforms are extremely stable. It took two years for your Majesty to begin to change the basic system of the Military Aircraft Department, and your Majesty himself is also cautious." The young man laughed.

"Yunwen, after going back this time, you're afraid you won't stay in Liaodong again, right?" the general said again.

It turns out that this young man is no one else, but Yu Yunwen who has been in Liaodong for two years! And this general is Li Xianzhong who is stationed in Shangjing.

"This is not so clear! At present, everything in Liaodong has just entered the right path. Merchants from Jiangnan, Sichuan and Shu are all going to Liaodong, and immigrants from all over are also going to Liaodong. In addition, next year, I am afraid that many Koreans will enter Liaodong. , The whole Liaodong is flourishing and there may be chaos. I hope I can continue to stay in Liaodong, let Liaodong be completely stable and prosperous, and then return to the center." Yu Yunwen said.

"In the past two years, the Mongols in the north have often invaded southward! There are many Mongolian tribes, and they have no food in winter, so they come to **** us! Many Mongolian tribes are small groups of soldiers and horses going south, we can't guard against it! I don't know when the court will Use troops to Mongolia!" Li Xianzhong said.

"I'm afraid I will have to wait for a while! If you really use Mongolia, you will need to use a lot of troops and a lot of food and materials! Moreover, after the Mongols are conquered, how to arrange the Mongols is also a big problem. The court is now striving for development with all its strength, and it may not be possible to use troops to Mongolia within one or two years!" Yu Yunwen said.

A wry smile appeared on Li Xianzhong's face! In fact, he also understands this truth, but he doesn't like blindly defending the nomads from the north. He prefers offense and eliminates hidden dangers completely.

"It's getting late, let's rest early and try to reach Yanjing City as soon as possible." Yu Yunwen said.

At the moment everyone was resting in this ruined temple, and the next day they continued to face the snow and head towards Yanjing.

In Yanjing area, there is also heavy snow!

It has entered December in the lunar calendar, and it is the imperial examination season again!

This year's imperial examination was ten days earlier than last year. On December 15th, the imperial examination began and countless students entered the examination room.

Compared with last year, the students have much more prepared this year.

This year's imperial examinations are much better than last year.

The imperial examination is still divided into two categories: Confucianism and history are combined into one, and law and practice are combined into one! The test time is still ten days, one and a half hours in the morning and one and a half in the afternoon!

Both Confucianism and Practical Learning emphasize the basics, and in the end, it is a question of free play.

In the afternoon, countless examinees came out of the examination room, and many of them had worried expressions on their faces.

"Look, these candidates have all come out. I don't know how many of them can be selected this year?"

"Now Zhongju is different from before. Even if Zhongju is just an official or subordinate officer, it is far inferior to the past!"

"I think the current imperial examination is pretty good! These scholars just read some books, but they are useless besides that. Why can they become officials after the imperial examination?"

"I heard that many positions in the imperial examination require ‘practical experience’, but I don’t know what this ‘practical experience’ is?”

The snow is still fluttering, and in a teahouse around the examination room, many people are talking about it!

However, in addition to the imperial examination, many people are discussing the entry of officials from all over the world to Yenching.

"In this short period of half a month, many officials have come to the city of Yanjing. What exactly does the court do?" Someone was talking about storytelling, and an old man sat down and whispered to the person beside him.

"I heard that it was for the military aircraft department! His Majesty was in Hanzhong, in order to deal with the military aircraft of the world, this was the establishment of the military aircraft department! But now that the world warfare is over, the name of the military aircraft department can no longer be used! Moreover, in order to deal with military aircraft, The Military Aircraft Department has great powers, I am afraid that your Majesty will also restrict the military aircraft department's rights." Next to him is a middle-aged man in his 30s, this middle-aged humane.

"I heard that there is still a division of provinces!" There was another person next to him.

"Division of provinces? What are provinces?" the old man asked strangely.

"Taiwan and Book Province! Your Majesty will set up provinces throughout the country and no more roads!"

The province is the "province" of later generations. In the Song Dynasty, there was already the title of province. The full name is "Xingtai Shangshu Province". It was only in the Song Dynasty that provinces were not common. They were only occasionally established until the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Kublai Khan began to set up provinces across the country, and Kublai's policy was also continued in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"So, I wonder if there are other things?" the old man said again.

"I don't know this! Look, there seems to be someone on the road again. That person seems to be Master Yu Yun Wenyu. He always followed his Majesty at the beginning. Later, he went to manage Liaodong, and he also came! I don't know the generals next to him. Who is it?" The middle-aged man beside him said sharply.

"If you can be with Master Yu, I'm afraid the status is not low." The old man didn't recognize Li Xianzhong, and nodded immediately.

These people are talking here, and at the moment there is another pair of old and young sitting in a corner of the teahouse.

The old man here has all white hair and an unspeakable expression on his face. The young man next to him is enjoying the snacks and good tea while listening to the discussions of the people around him, and he looks happy.

"Master Jin, Your Majesty has summoned Minister Tianwenwu to discuss the national system. I have also been invited. Let's go to the imperial palace for transit." The young man said.

"Emperor Xuanwu has been on the throne almost ten years ago. Various systems have been set up for the war. Now that the war is over, it is time for change. The old minister is also very curious about how the Song people will change the system." The old man sighed softly. Tao.

"Your Majesty is a generation of benevolent monarchs. After I entered Yenching, His Majesty waited for me very well, with all kinds of supplies and no restrictions on freedom. In addition, Yenching City is ten times more prosperous than Kaijing, and there is no state harassment. I feel that now Life is better than before. From time to time, people from Korea come to visit orphans, and they tell them to let them abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty. As long as they are good citizens, everything will be better than before." The young man laughed.

"His Royal Highness, you are the once Lord of Goryeo, and the Great Song killed me Goryeo. How can you speak for them like this?" The old man sighed.

"Goryeo and Dasong are one family! From ancient times to the present, we have been the subject and subject of Dasong. We often have to pay tribute to Dasong. Now I just came to Yenching City and handed over the affairs of Korea to your majesty. That's all, I don't think there is anything bad about it." The young man said lightly.

The old man smiled bitterly, and he didn’t say much now. Instead, he continued to listen to the people around him. He didn’t think that the people of the Song Dynasty could discuss politics freely. Confucianism often said that “the people can do it without knowing it”. He believes that the people can discuss politics freely. The more you know, the worse it is to rule.
