The city of Tokyo is very lively in August. Although the summer heat has not gone away, people still brave the scorching sun and gather friends to go out and play in the countryside on the day of the beginning of autumn.

When Zhao Zhen got up, he saw Sancai Xiao standing in the outer hall, holding a big heather red leaf in his hand and handing it to Vera: "Hurry up and give it a hairpin for the official!"

Vera took it with a smile and walked towards Zhao Zhen and said, "Master, it will look great with the red leaves."

Zhao Zhen took it and looked at it speechlessly. There were some small serrations on the red petals. If you put it on your head, wouldn't you be looking for trouble for yourself?

People in the Song Dynasty loved hairpin flowers. Today is the day of the Beginning of Autumn. Not to mention that men and women among the people wear catalpa leaves to match the time of year. Even the court officials are no exception. I can’t bear to think that all the old ministers are still growing wings.

What a wonderful sight the hairpin on the hat looks like.

Zhao Zhen played with the red leaves in his hand and asked with a smile: "Sancai! Today is the beginning of autumn, and there will be a banquet for all the ministers tonight. Are you ready?"

For some reason, whenever the official showed a "kind" smile, Sancai felt a hair in his heart. He quickly nodded and said: "I have already made arrangements to report to the official..."

"Go and see again, tonight is very important to me!"

"Yes, slave, go right now!"

Vera pouted. The master was being willful again this time. Looking at the huge red leaves he threw on the table, Vera's big blue eyes were full of reluctance. What a beautiful red leaves!

Zhao Zhen got dressed and went out. Today's court meeting will definitely be a fight between dragons and tigers, for no other reason than the content of the examination for military school students...

Before leaving, Zhao Zhen saw Vera's expression and waved helplessly: "The red heather leaves are beautiful, so take them with you. This is a gift from me! You are not allowed to take it down!"

Vera happily tied the huge red heather leaves on her head. The golden hair and the unique red color of heather made her whole person more vivid, adding a touch of bright color to the deep palace. Zhao Zhen murmured as he watched.

Said to himself: "This is so beautiful and delicious!"

Until Zhao Zhen left, Vera's little face was still red, and her shyness was even more obvious because of her white skin.

Walking out of the palace door in three steps and two steps at a time, Vera will take the place of other palace maids to accompany Zhao Zhen to the court today. This is something she only obtained after begging Zhao Zhen for a long time last night.

Every day, I always see the master surrounded by other palace maids, and I feel a little sad. It wasn't until I asked three times that I realized that my title was not enough. They were all purple and above. Although I followed the master, I was still a little one.

Gong'e.

Staying in the palace all day was boring, so Vera wanted to walk more. Last night, she finally asked the official for a job. Now she is also wearing a red hazelnut, which is one level higher than the purple hazelnut!

Zhao Zhen turned to look at Vera who was following him. It seemed that the foreign girl was unwilling to be left alone. He shook his head helplessly: "If you have nothing to do, go and find Miao Yuan. She has more fun and delicious food, but

You have to get the time right, and you can’t wait for me to come back to the palace without anyone squeezing my waist and beating my back!"

Vera's eyes lit up, and then she nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Vera remembers it!"

The conversation between the two made the palace maid beside her so jealous that she almost burst into flames! Who has ever seen an official and a palace maid so casual, and even sent her out to play, the most important thing is to go to the princess to play! This is not the treatment of a palace maid, but a state lady!

Vera didn't care about other people's opinions, and excitedly asked Chen Tong for her badge. She knew that in this deep palace, the master's words were more effective than anything else.

The distance from Funing Hall to Daqing Hall is still quite long, especially since you have to pass five or six palace walls.

Chen Tong once suggested using Buhu in the forbidden area and replacing it when he arrived at Daqing Palace, but Zhao Zhen vetoed it without even thinking, and the use of humans and animals did not begin until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The Song Dynasty followed the old system of the Five Dynasties. Officials could only ride horses and not sedans when going to court. They could only ride in carriages. As the emperor, although Zhao Zhen had the privilege of riding in a carriage, he still did not want to set a precedent. Even if his father was seriously ill, he could not do anything.

The courtiers were asked to confront each other in the palace. How could he, now young and strong, begin to seize the throne?

Daqing Hall is still the most majestic hall in the palace, located on the central axis of the imperial city. Zhao Zhen changed the court meeting originally scheduled in Chuigong Hall and Zichen Hall to Daqing Hall. In his opinion, such a magnificent building does not need to be placed too much.

It's a pity, and Chang Chao and Shi Chao were also merged by him and collectively called Zao Chao.

In the current Daqing Palace, everyone from the prime ministers of the two palaces to civil servants and generals, regardless of their rank, attend court in the Daqing Palace. Even Song Zhe, who is in charge of punishment in Kaifeng Palace, is also in the palace. Officials from the fifth rank no longer need to stand at the steps, but stand directly in the palace.

Can.

Chen Tong shouted in a unique voice at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty will come to court in the morning, all your ministers will be polite!"

Under the leadership of the two princes, the ministers bowed and saluted, Zhao Zhen raised his hand slightly, and the highest court meeting in the Song Dynasty began.

The yamen of each department reported the most important matters, starting from Kou Zhun of Tongping Zhangshi and going down. The matters that no one reported were all important matters that required Zhao Zhen to answer on the spot.

Kou Zhun first came out and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination will be held in one month, but the number of people this year has greatly increased compared with previous years. First, His Majesty's benevolence, virtue and civility are prosperous. Second, Your Majesty has added craftsmen subjects, but the craftsmen subjects

How to conduct an imperial examination...is something the imperial court has never encountered before."

Zhao Zhen sat on the throne and said with a smile: "I would like to remind Mr. Kou that it is not called the Craftsman Division, but the Gewu Division. Of course they want to conduct the supervisory examination. Don't worry about it. Someone will take care of it.

They will not appear in the court to fight with you for anything. I will open a separate pavilion specifically to accommodate those scholars."

After Zhao Zhen said this, the officials heaved a sigh of relief. As long as they were not in the court, it would be fine. I really couldn't imagine what it would be like for even the craftsmen to go to court and sit on an equal footing with them.

Cao Wei came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I wonder what the imperial examination for martial arts is like? Is it based on Sun Wu's art of war according to the old system, or do the officials have other opinions?"

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said: "Privy Cao is very thoughtful, and I plan to use military flag drills instead of military talks!"

"War game?"

Cao Wei raised his head strangely with surprise in his eyes. He had never heard of this thing before. He looked at the generals beside him and all of them stared at him with big eyes.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "We will talk about this later. After the dynasty is over, the ministers of the Privy Council will stay. I will tell you with examples. You will know at a glance."

These words frightened Cao Wei and a group of generals. The official family was famous for their intelligence. The military academy they had built previously had shocked them. The content taught in it was no worse than the generals themselves, and it was even better.

There are many unique methods that they have never heard of.

From astronomy and calendar changes to solar terms, to setting up camps, not to mention marching and setting up formations, all kinds of subjects were covered. What shocked him the most was the logistics supplies and various tactics, which were dazzling to watch.

I don’t know where the official family got so many military essentials, which can be regarded as a treasure passed down from generation to generation, but the official family just casually teaches them to the children from ordinary families as if they don’t need any money!

But he was wrong. How could he teach casually? What did Zhao Zhen's black hands do?

What Cao Wei saw was only the tip of the iceberg of the Royal Military Academy. The research and development of various weapons, the use of formations, etc. could only be circulated within the military academy. All military knowledge was strictly prohibited from leaving the military academy, and military academy students were subject to militarized management.

After slowly being brainwashed, Zhao Zhen believed that these future generals could completely replace the junior generals and become rare talents in the field of sergeants of the Song Dynasty!

What's more important is that Zhao Zhen saw the word Di Qing on the list of military academy cadets...
Chapter completed!
