The sky is getting brighter.

The cold winter has passed and the weather is gradually no longer so cold.

The banks of Dongting Lake are lush and lush.

Qi Yue and others followed Qi Wulie out of Zijing Villa dejectedly. The tents of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty disappeared, and Wenqi, Zhao Da, and Zhao Hu had already assembled their troops.

Tens of thousands of soldiers stood neatly outside the Zijing Villa. Even Qi Wulie's eyes changed slightly.

This is the army, and its strength is really not comparable to those of these martial arts holy places.

Zhao grinned and walked to Qi Yue who had met, and smiled and said, "Young Master Qi, please!"

Qi Yue looked at Qi Wulie beside him.

Qi Wulie just nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

He had no choice. If he did not allow Qi Yue and others to enter the palace as a stamina, not to mention the tens of thousands of imperial soldiers, just the empty kingdom would have the strength to destroy him.

Qi Yue and others walked towards the army.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu sat on the horse, waved and shouted: "Go!"

Then the two of them rode behind the military formation and led the five thousand flying dragon troops towards Changsha.

Kong Qiangu followed the army leisurely. He seemed to be unfast, but his speed never dropped.

Wen Qi said to Qi Wulie: "Master Qi, I offended you."

Then he also left with his five thousand Changde garrison soldiers.

The outside of Zijing Villa became very empty.

Qi Wulie looked at the magnificent Dongting Lake not far ahead and was stunned.

On this day, Zijing Villa released news that Liuzhier was captured and Zi Qigong had been taken back. I think it would take not long before the world would return to peace.

After waiting for Zhao Da, Zhao Hu brought Qi Yue and others back to Changsha, Zhao Dongting finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The turmoil in the world was finally strangled in the cradle.

He was very glad that Liuzhier saved Tie Liduan. Otherwise, if Tie Liduan died, he might have sent more Wuding Hall to worship him out of the palace. In this case, Wuding Hall would probably have suffered heavy losses. Zijing Villa has such strength. Unless he directly sent Kong Qiangu out of the palace.

After letting Le arrange for Qi Yue and others to live in Wudingtang for free, Zhao Dongting issued an order to Xuan Lu Xiufu, Chen Jianghan, Su Liuyi and other provincial governments, military machinery and officials from various ministries to enter the palace.

The new imperial examination is coming soon. This also means that Zhao Dongting's assessment of the previous Jinshi can come to an end.

In nearly a year, many clues can be seen whether these people have real talents and knowledge and whether they can really adapt to the officialdom.

Not long after, Lu Xiufu and others appeared outside the hall and entered the hall one after another.

Chen Wenlong, who was originally going to retire and return home, was also among the crowd.

Perhaps he heard Xie Daoqing's words, he also lost the idea of ​​continuing to retire. Yes, the country should be the priority in everything.

After entering the hall, the ministers gave Zhao Dongting a gift and stood in order.

The two rows on the left are headed by the State Council Order Lu Xiufu and the Supervision Order Zhang Shijie. Secondly, Deputy State Council Order Chen Wenlong, Minister of Finance Chen Jianghan, Minister of Social Security Gao Manshan, Deputy Supervision Order Xie Fangde, Xizhili, Sun Shichuan and others.

The two rows on the right are the deputy military commander Su Liuyi, the deputy military commander Hao Wenxiu, and the second is the Minister of War Zhang Xizai and others.

The four provinces were jointly governed, which was the foundation of the Song Dynasty court.

Last year, the imperial examination was 147 people, including Confucian generals, powerful generals and civil servants, all of them were granted the title of officials in the four provinces.

Those Confucian generals and powerful generals sent to the army, Zhao Dongting, have given Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Jue and others the greatest power, allowing them to promote and choose.

Zhao Dongting, the Jinshi who remained in the Ministry of War, the Supervision, Law, and the State Administration, must not ask in person.

Now that the Song Dynasty is at its beginning, as the emperor, his main task is no longer to lead the army to fight on the front line, but how to keep the rear stable.

As soon as everyone stood up, Zhao Dongting looked at Lu Xiufu and asked, "Sir Lu, how are the 64 Jinshis who went to the State Council last year performing?"

The State Council has the most complicated affairs and has the most official positions. Last year, most of them were appointed as the Jinshi in the State Council.

For example, Zhong Jian, who is currently the deputy director of the Shaozhou Department of Agriculture, Mao Jue, who is the deputy director of the Chenzhou Department of Water Resources, and others. The departments they serve are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of State.

"Back to the Emperor."

After hearing Zhao Dongting's words, Lu Xiufu immediately walked out of the ranks and bowed: "The old minister has asked the heads of various departments to register in detail the measures and achievements of the Jinshi after taking office this year. After our discussion and evaluation, there are fourteen people who can evaluate the excellent ones and thirty-two people who are good ones. In addition, nine people who have not outstanding political achievements and have not done much."

As he said that, he took out the memorial from his sleeve, "This is the list of the old ministers after counting it. Please check it out."

Eunuch Li walked down the palace, took the roster from Lu Xiufu, and handed it to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting spread the roster in his hand and looked down. He didn't say anything for a long time.

He was indeed looking carefully.

These Jinshi were all talents he selected after he reformed the education system, and he would definitely be a pillar of the court in the future. This is not a matter of negligence.

At the top of the list, Zhong Jian’s name appears.

Last year, Zhong Jian was an official in the Shaozhou Agricultural Department. Although he was not the chief official, he proposed many agricultural policies and vigorously developed Shaozhou agriculture. He encouraged the people to set up many cooperatives in Shaozhou to grow new crops brought back from the Americas and other places, which were quite effective. Last year, Shaozhou not only maintained self-sufficiency, but also had many crops sold to the surrounding states and provinces. Even the farthest ones had already been sold to the Yue Li Dynasty.

His political achievements are naturally excellent.

But there was not necessarily any change on Zhao Dongting's face.

He just kept watching.
