Chapter 373 How to Confer a Reward?

The results of the county examination in Xiangcheng County have not yet arrived, but Li Chu has waited for another result.

Yang Kang also participated in the county examination in Tokyo, and won a first-class result.

The champion, the second place, and the third prize are selected in the final palace examination. The previous provincial and township examinations were all based on grades, and they were divided into grades one, two and three according to their grades.

For this grade, there is only A, not B, C, or D.

Then the number of each A is not limited.

One Jia, maybe one person, five people, or even ten people, it depends on the examiner.

No. [-] and No. [-] works, regardless of ranking, are collectively referred to as Yijia.

What Yang Kang got was this first-class result.

If he has passed the first grade, then Yang Kang will be eligible to continue to participate in the next round of provincial examinations.

The provincial test will be held at the end of March.

It seems that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan in Tokyo City are also masters of what they say, and they have already prepared Yang Kang for the champion.Li Chu is very clear about Yang Kang's talents. He has ingenuity, but hey.

This imperial examination does not rely on intelligence and intellect, but on the test of scriptures, poems and Fu, and post scriptures, sometimes in rotation, and sometimes by itself.

What is intentional?It is to take the Chinese sentences in the scriptures as the topic, and the examinee composes to clarify its meaning.

Yang Kang understands a fart.

After the death of Daddy Yang, who would look for books to read to Yang Kang? Even if Yang Kang went to learn by himself, the books he read were very limited. Even if Master Liu was invited to teach him later, Master Liu used Yang Kang's age as an excuse. , has not yet taught Jingyi, which leads to Yang Kang's current experience and righteousness in Jingyi. He may have, but if he takes part in the imperial examination, he will definitely not be able to pass, let alone win a first grade. name.

Kaifeng House.

The courtyard of the Imperial Palace in the inner city, above the hanging arch hall.

The messenger of the good news rushed on his horse and drove all night, killing eight posthorses, and then delivered the good news to Kaifeng Mansion in the first time.

The Qilin army defeated Wang Qing, the bandit in Huaixi, and wiped out all Wang Qing's men and horses.

There is no way to hide this matter.

Even if Cai Jing wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it.

Prince Zhao Huan has already turned to the Qilin Army, or has hooked up with the Qilin Army. Now that the Qilin Army has pacified Huaixi Wang Qing, there is no reason why Zhao Huan cannot know about such a big event.The officials can hide it, but they can't hide it from the prince. The reason why they can hide it is that they cooperate with the prince and others to hide it. But now it's different.

At the same time, he was shocked by the speed of the Qilin army.

How long is this?
It has only been a few days since Li Ding, the current minister of the Qilin Army, came to Kaifeng and the Qilin Army officially belonged to the imperial court.

Taking down the Wancheng area of ​​Dengzhou in one day may be due to other factors, such as operation or luck, but it is different now, not only Wancheng, but all Wang Qing's forces have been defeated at once. This speed, It's touching enough.

I have to be moved.

What is Wang Qing's strength?
Not long ago, that is, before the Qilin army in Ruzhou, the imperial army had just fought with Wang Qing's army. The imperial army was defeated, and Wang Qing almost attacked Chang'an.

However, such an army was defeated all the way under the Qilin Army's soldiers, and was then uprooted.

It's a pity that Wang Qing left. I don't know where the bandit fled to.

However, Wang Qing's power has been destroyed, which finally eliminated a confidant of the imperial court.

When the good news spread to the Chui Gong Hall, the officials were both surprised and happy. The joy was that Wang Qing's worries were finally resolved. Even Song Huizong couldn't help but beam with joy after hearing the good news.

This shock was naturally the strength of the Qilin army.

Unexpectedly, such a difficult bone for the court would turn out to be so under the attack of the Qilin army.

This can't help but make some people worry again.

What if, what if the Qilin army changed their minds and turned against the court that day?
This Qilin army is even stronger than Wang Qing. If the Qilin army rebels again in the future, who will be able to subdue this Qilin army at that time?

Some people are worried.

In the court, the Qilin army made such a great contribution, so naturally there is no way not to reward it.

So Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, asked his highness and courtiers: "My dear friends, how should I reward the Qilin army for defeating Wang Qing?"

How to award?

This topic suddenly made the whole court embarrassing.

The current establishment of the Qilin Army is that of the upper ranks of the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty. This is the highest establishment. This will be rewarded again, but there is no higher position reward, so it can only be rewarded from Li Chu's identity. up.

Although the Qilin Army respects the literati, it still cannot change its identity as a military man, so this reward is to choose from the military officer.

First of all, people from the prince's party directly proposed to promote Li Chuwei to the Privy Council.

Privy Council, this is the place where the Song Dynasty court was in charge of the army.

**** This move is intended to take this opportunity to insert Li Chu into the Privy Council. The Privy Council is currently controlled by Tong Guan Cai Jing and others. This move is to use this matter to divide the rights of the Privy Council. Cai Jing , How can Tong Guan's party make the **** happy?As soon as the proposal came out, it was immediately opposed.

The reason for the opposition is also very simple and straightforward. It is said that the Qilin Army came from thieves, and its loyalty is not yet clear. How can it be placed in the core military force of our Great Song Dynasty.

The reason for the support of the Prince's faction is also very simple. The Qilin army destroyed Huaixi Wang Qing, which is loyal. Secondly, Li Chu's brother-in-law Yang Kang is currently in Tokyo. Are your relatives here?These two points are enough to show the loyalty of the Kirin Army.

When the two parties were arguing endlessly, Cai You stood up again.

Cai You also publicly supported Li Chu, supported Li Chu's entry into the Privy Council, and also proposed that Li Chu be appointed as a political adviser and deputy privy envoy in the Privy Council.

As soon as Cai You said this, it immediately caused a more intense quarrel in the entire court.

What kind of official is Shenzhizhengshi?

This is a member of the second rank.

He also served as the deputy privy envoy. In the privy council, this exists only under Tong Guan, and he is one of the most important figures.

They even quarreled so fiercely about Li Chu entering the Privy Council. This proposal not only enters the Privy Council, but also holds such a high official position. How could people from other factions be willing?
In the end, even Tong Guan couldn't sit still anymore, and began to stand up and reject Cai You's proposal. The reason for the rejection was still the same. The Qilin Army was born as a bandit soldier, and this kind of background cannot enter the Privy Council. , that's all.

This sentence moved Song Huizong Zhao Ji.

He didn't know what the nature of the Qilin Army was.

Giving so many gifts at the beginning really made him happy and happy, but later he came to his senses and thought that this was a bit wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, and since things had settled down, he didn't I regret it.Moreover, the gift from the Qilin Army really made him like it very much, and it was for this reason that the pre-determined number one spot was given to Yang Cheng so happily.

Now, wanting to join the Privy Council, Zhao Ji still shook his head and rejected the proposal.
