Chapter 140

Du Zhongxiao picked up the list of Jinshi who had just been released in the palace examination this year and looked from the front to back. The top scholar Zhang Heng and the second-ranked Dou Bian himself had no memory, and he felt a little disapproving. Looking at the third person Luo Kai, the fourth person Zheng Yong, and the fifth person Zhu Chuping, he had no impression of him and couldn't help but shake his head. It seems that there are no outstanding figures in this Jinshi.

After watching it, when I arrived at the second level, I suddenly saw Su Shi and then concentrated again. Su Shi's uncle Wentong worked in Shengzhou, but the Su Shi brothers were always in Shu, but they did not expect to participate in this imperial examination. Looking down, I saw Su Che, Zeng Gong, and the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. There were three other figures with impressions from Du Zhongxiao, including Zhang Zai, Cheng Hao, Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dun and others. There were a few others who seemed to have impressions, but I couldn't remember them carefully.

After careful calculation, there were many people who left their names in this generation. Especially the several major schools of the Song Dynasty, Du Zhongxiao had the impression of them, including Luo Xuecheng Hao, Guan Xue Zhang Zai and Shu Xue Su brothers, who all ranked first on this list.

In the second year of Jiayou's imperial examination, he was called the Dragon and Tiger List by later generations. It was the most imperial examination candidates in history, and few of them could be compared. This year, Ouyang Xiu was the chief examiner. After changing his literary style, the ancient Chinese movement achieved a decisive victory. He was also hated by scholars and was publicly insulted at the end of the provincial examination. Fortunately, he received the firm support of the emperor. In this session, most of the people with high rankings on the list had no achievements. Instead, many big names appeared in the later examination. Hey, a missing paragraph! If you like it, please collect it: (www.zhaishuyuan.com) Zhai Shuyuan has the fastest update speed.

After putting down the list, Du Zhongxiao thought about it and thought this generation was quite interesting. Among the people who had an impression of him, first were literary masters, such as Su Shi's brothers and Zeng Gong, and then there were Neo-Confucian masters who started the sect, such as Cheng Hao and Zhang Zai. Most of the people who really left their names in politics were Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing, who were the generals of Wang Anshi's reform.

From the list of Jinshi in this class, we can also see that Wang Anshi's reform was supported by young officials at that time, and most of the Jinshi in this class were their supporters. As for the Su brothers, Cheng Hao, Zhang Zai and others, it is not surprising. Ouyang Xiu advocated the ancient Chinese movement, and their writing styles should be just in line with each other. They may not have taken the imperial examination for the first time, and they were unable to pass the imperial examination before. This time, I'm here. Damn, there is another missing section!

At this moment, Fu Bi came in and bowed and said, "Taiwei, the Khitan envoy has arrived in Bingzhou and will arrive in the capital in two days."

Du Zhongxiao said, "Oh, it's exactly ten days. Pang Xianggong's time is good. When they come, they can discuss when the war with the Khitan will end. In the battle of Mayi, the Khitan was originally the one who fought for a short time. If the stalemate continues there, the Khitan will be difficult to support it, and it will waste time for us. Now the military reform is imminent, and it is because there is a war on the front line that it has not begun."

Fu Bi said: "If the Khitan envoy arrives, how should we talk to them? This time the Khitan attacks, we must give them some sweetness before they will retreat. However, if we give too much, wouldn't the battle be in vain?"

Du Zhongxiao thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, Shuozhou must be ours, including Mayi County. Dezhou in the north must not be returned to the Khitan. With Dezhou, there is an additional direction to attack Datong Prefecture. As for Baishuili and Jiushijiuquan, it is best to let the Khitan cede, so we will hold the Tatar's life gate. It doesn't matter what else." Sun, I can't read it and there is a shortage of paragraphs! Remember in one second, Zhaishuyuan (www.zhaishuyuan.com).

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "We can give land to others if we don't give land to Khitan. After Xiao Ge offered Shuozhou, Chongyuan refused to surrender. He was really stubborn. Can we return Chongyuan to Khitan? Are they still not satisfied? A Chongyuan is worth a few states."

Fu Bi was stunned: "Chongyuan is already a prisoner of the court. If he returns it to the Khitan, wouldn't it be—"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Yes, Chongyuan is just a prisoner of the court, so he can return it to the Khitan. If he surrendered, even if he was alone, he would not be able to return it. A Chongyuan who refused to surrender was really embarrassed in the hands of the court, especially if it was just the spoils of Xiao Ge surrendered, it would be even more difficult to deal with. Heavy punishment is not enough to show the power of the court. Heavy rewards make the world laugh. It would be better to give it to the Khitan."

Fu Bi thought about it and it seemed that the same was true. Since Xiao Ge surrendered to Shuozhou, the Song army captured Chongyuan. However, Chongyuan was very stubborn and refused to surrender, which made it difficult for the Song Dynasty to kill him. If he killed him, it would be meaningless if he was not captured by himself as a prisoner of war. If he had been raised with delicious food and drink, he would not have surrendered, and he would not have caused trouble.

But it was different in the eyes of the Khitan. Chongyuan was a traitor. Hong Ji urgently needed his head to appease the inside. After getting Yelu Chongyuan and asking the Khitan to give up several states, what else could it be? With such an exchange, the Khitan's face was saved.

Fu Bi thought about it and said, "The Taiwei said this, and things will be easy to handle. However, even though he had not surrendered, the court officials still regarded the capture of him as a rare event. If he sent it out like this, would it make the court officials dissatisfied?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "So this matter must be approved by the Lord. As long as the Lord agrees, what else do court officials say?"

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao added: "Why should we call the rest of the Privy Council to come? Let's discuss first? When the Privy Council agrees, we will report to the Lord and try our best to get the Lord to agree."

Tian Kuang had something to do today. Zeng Gongliang came here in the morning and went back, saying that there were guests at home. In the Privy Council, there was only one Zhang Sheng left. He immediately sent soldiers to invite Tian Kuang and Zeng Gongliang to the Privy Council, and said that there were important matters to discuss.

At the White Horse Ferry of the Amway Army, Yelu Xiantong and Wu Zhan got off the train and sighed: "This train in the southern country is really a magical thing! When we come south, it is like a speeding lightning, which is extremely fast. And without horse materials, there is no need to rest on the road, and we will arrive in a thousand miles in one or two days."

Wu Zhan said: "Yes, and this item brings a lot of goods, which can be regarded as a national weapon. In the past few years of the Song Dynasty, he arrived in Yinshan in the north, seized the Western Regions, destroyed Dangxiang, and thought that this item would be a lot of effort. It would be easy to use this item to transport food and grass for thousands of miles."
