Daqian Palace, inside the greenhouse.

The greenhouse is the office of Emperor Jing Xing. It is always quiet on weekdays and there are not many people.

But today, it was completely different from the norm.

Emperor Jing Xing sat high on the dragon chair, with a mountain of examination papers piled up on the papers in front of him.

The person closest to him, standing on the steps, was none other than Prince Liu Yu.

Why is the emperor called His Majesty? What does the word "Bi" here refer to?

In fact, the emperor here is talking about this step.

These short steps symbolize the chasm-like gap between the king and his ministers.

Those who are not of royal blood are not allowed to set foot!

Otherwise, it is regarded as rebellion!

But the prince is different. The prince is the crown prince and the most qualified person in the world to stand on this stage!

In addition to the prince, there were three other people close to Emperor Jing Xing's left hand side.

The leader was none other than Jia Pingsheng, the chief minister of the cabinet.

Over the years, the person whom Emperor Jing Xing relied on the most was also a veritable leader of civil servants and the leader among the scholars.

The two people behind him are also senior cabinet ministers, namely Lin Han and Zhang Zifang.

These three people can be regarded as the backbone of the entire cabinet.

All the memorials and articles of the cabinet need to be reviewed by them before they can be sent to Emperor Jing Xing's desk.

As for Emperor Jing Xing's right hand, there was only one person, but his status was not bad at all.

It is none other than the noble leader, Ding Guogong Zhang Xun!

It is natural that the pillars of so many countries are gathered together for a big event.

So what's the big deal?

Judging from the examination papers on Emperor Jing Xing's case, the answer is almost ready to be revealed.

Emperor Jing Xing has great expectations for this year's review.

He sent someone to supervise him early in the morning, which can be said to be taken very seriously.

However, Emperor Jing Xing valued it, but the three cabinet members did not.

The original intention of such things as proofreading is to test the abilities of the distinguished disciples of the school.

But for such a big question as "Why to suppress the Western Jin Dynasty", not only the noble disciples, but also the several adults serving in the Ministry of War, faced with such a difficult problem, it may be difficult to come up with effective strategies in a short time.

To use such a question to test a group of distinguished students is really overqualified and even... a bit embarrassing.

Jia Pingsheng and the other two people even felt that it was a bit childish when His Majesty set this topic.

But when Emperor Jing Xing insisted again and again, they didn't say anything more.

But to this day, I still hold a negative attitude.

Not to mention that they are not optimistic about it, even the noble Zhang Xun is not optimistic about it either.

After all, he knows his own family affairs best. How can he, the noble leader, know the virtues of his noble disciples?

If it comes to swords, guns, swords and halberds, and martial arts practice, he is indeed good at it.

However, this military strategy was always inferior, not to mention the difficult problem of "how to suppress the Western Jin Dynasty".

Only the prince Liu Yu looked at the pile of examination papers, quite eager to try.

He has been interested in the art of war since he was a child, and he is willing to work hard to study it!

As time went by, I came to have some insights in my mind.

However, Emperor Jing Xing’s rule as emperor is to work diligently, love the people, and recuperate!

He believes that as long as he implements diligent and benevolent government, improves the living standards of the people, and increases the strength of the country, the surrounding powers will naturally not dare to invade.

Therefore, I am quite unhappy with Liu Yu's thoughts.

And Liu Yu also suffered many lessons from childhood to adulthood because of this incident.

It's just that... he caught Emperor Jing Xing's generous temperament towards others, so he... refused to change despite repeated admonitions!

After all, no matter how powerful my father's words were, in the end, it was just a scolding.

It is very rare for someone to actually hit him.

Emperor Jing Xing opened the pile of essay papers with great anticipation and began to read.

I just don’t know why, but the more I look at it, the tighter my brows become.

In the end, they simply twisted together, and their faces became ugly.

Seeing this, Jia Pingsheng and others sighed in their hearts.

It seems that my guess is not wrong. Faced with such a big question as "Why suppress the Western Jin Dynasty", the noble disciples may have answered a bit...unsightly.

But what they don't know is that this is not only unsightly, it's just... like a stone, it's a waste of this good pen and ink.

About 80% of the candidates wrote that if they gave me as many troops as they could, I would lead the troops on an expedition, follow the example of my fathers, and conquer the Western Jin Dynasty for Da Qian.

Originally, if you had this kind of heart, it would be pretty good.

But these articles are full of empty words and don’t mention a word about how to achieve it!

How to transport grain and grass baggage, how to cross the natural dangers of the Canglan Mountains?

How to conquer the tall city walls of the Western Jin Dynasty?

None of these!

After reading it, Emperor Jing Xing felt like he had been force-fed a wave of big cakes, and he choked.

"Empty talk will harm the country!" Emperor Jing Xing sighed, and immediately gave up hope.

But then, with a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw a pretty good answer sheet.

This policy essay is still the same as the previous answer sheet, advocating the use of troops against the Western Jin Dynasty.

The only difference is that they have considered reality!

How to transport grain and grass, whether by land or water, and where to transport it to the front line.

How to enter the Canglan Mountains silently, then come out silently, and finally achieve the purpose of surprise attack on the Western Jin frontier fortress.

As well as Chen Guo's reaction, all of them were taken into consideration!

What surprised Emperor Jing Xing the most was that this son actually settled an account for him. It was probably that all the people came down to start a war with the Western Jin Dynasty. Even if everything went well and the war was shortened to the shortest time, it would often require millions of taels of silver. !

Even for the large state treasury, this is a considerable expense.

Except for some strategies that seem quite immature, there are no other shortcomings.

But there is nothing wrong with this. After all...these noble disciples have never actually been on the battlefield and cannot see the full picture of the war.

It is already remarkable to be able to analyze to this point with limited cognition.

After reading the entire article, Emperor Jing Xing already had a suspicion in his mind that this boy should be the first in the literary test this time.

However, the examination papers for review were all sealed, and even when they were delivered to him, the seal was never removed.

Only after the rankings are completed, the examiner will remove the seal and send people one by one to Xungui's mansion to inform them.

Only in this way can we call it fair and just.

As the Emperor of Daqian, Emperor Jingxing could naturally break the seal if he wanted to see it.

But in this way, the rules will be broken, which may be unfair to other candidates.

Forget it, let's wait until we read all the test papers before we see who wrote this.

After making up his mind, Emperor Jing Xing continued to read the examination papers.

It's just that my interest is waning, and I find it difficult to find another policy article that can surpass the one just now.

Until he saw a line of large characters "On the feasibility of Shanzi Camp in the Canglan Mountains!"

This policy review does not discuss the Western Jin Dynasty and the Southern Chen Dynasty, but it starts from the Canglan Mountains, which is a novel angle.

And what is this mountain camp? Why never heard of it?

Emperor Jing Xing suddenly became interested and began to read word by word.
