The winter of the ninth year of Xuanwu has arrived. In Liaodong, heavy snow fell down, and the whole world has turned into silver.

The cold wind whistled, and more than ten people were riding horses on the wasteland.

It was about to get dark and the temperature was getting lower and lower. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came faintly in the distance.

"Sir, I'll check it out!" said a guard dressed in a human form.

"Okay! Be careful!" A tall young man seemed to be the leader of these people, and nodded immediately.

The guards headed forward, and after about a quarter of an hour, the guards actually came here with another group of people!

All of these people were dressed in military uniforms, but they did not wear armor, but thick cotton coats and military uniforms.

"Mr. Yu, is it you?" a general laughed.

"General Li!" The tall young man walked over with a smile on his face and said.

"Haha, I really didn't expect to meet you here!" The general was not very old, and he said with joy on his face.

"It's getting dark, let's find a place to rest first, and then have a slow conversation." The young man smiled.

The two groups of them merged into one and headed forward together.

After leaving for about an hour, a broken ancient temple appeared in front of him. This group of people entered the ancient temple to hide from the wind and snow.

Soon, a fire broke out in the ancient temple, and someone was cooking there, while the young man and the general sat next to the fire and started to laugh.

"Your Majesty summoned civil and military ministers from all over the world to discuss the fundamental system of the court. This is the most important thing after the war!" The young man smiled while setting off the fire.

"The system of the court is completely different from before, and I don't know whether it is good or bad!" said the general.

"What Your Majesty did, reforming the old and old systems, will only benefit and not harm the country! If it were not for His Majesty's leadership, it would be almost impossible for us to defeat the Jurchens and defeat Yanyun and Liaodong! The two emperors are far worse than His Majesty. Even Taizu, Emperor Taizong may not be able to compare with Your Majesty! I believe in Your Majesty's talents!" said the young man.

"This is right! There are no civil and military ministers, soldiers and people in the world who disrespect Your Majesty. Everyone believes in Your Majesty's ability! I just hope that Your Majesty will reform the old and old systems and not let the world turmoil." The general said.

"There is no turmoil in the world! After many years of war, the people are determined. As long as the policies do not oppress the people and will not let the people survive, the world will not be in chaos! What's more, Your Majesty's reform is extremely stable, and it has been two years since he eliminated the Jurchens. Your Majesty began to change the fundamental systems such as the Military Affairs Office. Your Majesty himself was cautious." The young man smiled.

"Yunwen, after you go back this time, you are afraid you won't stay in Liaodong again, right?" the general said again.

It turned out that this young man was nothing but Yu Yunwen who had been in charge of Liaodong for two years! And this general was Li Xianzhong, who was stationed in Shangjing.

"I'm not sure about this! At present, everything in Liaodong has just begun to be on the right path. Merchants from all over Jiangnan, Sichuan and Sichuan are heading to Liaodong, and immigrants from all over the country are also heading to Liaodong. In addition, next year, I'm afraid that many Koreans will enter Liaodong. The entire Liaodong will be prosperous and may be in chaos. I hope to continue to stay in Liaodong, so that Liaodong will be completely stable and prosperous, and then return to the center." Yu Yunwen said.

"In the past two years, the Mongols in the north have often gone south to invade! There are many Mongolian tribes, and they have no food in winter, so they come to snatch us! Many Mongolian tribes are small groups of troops going south, and we are unable to defend ourselves! I don't know when the imperial court will launch a large-scale military force against Mongolia!" Li Xianzhong said.

"I'm afraid this will take some time to wait! If you really use troops to Mongolia, you need to use a lot of troops and a lot of food, grass and supplies! Moreover, after conquering the Mongolians, how to resettle the Mongolians is also a big problem! The court is now fully seeking development, and it may not necessarily use troops to Mongolia within one or two years!" Yu Yunwen said.

Li Xianzhong showed a wry smile on his face! In fact, he also understood this truth, but he did not like to blindly defend the nomadic peoples from the north. He preferred attack and completely eliminated hidden dangers.

"It's getting late, so let's take a break early and strive to arrive in Yanjing City as soon as possible." Yu Yunwen said.

Everyone was resting in this dilapidated temple. On the second day, they continued to face the snow and head towards Yanjing.

*******

In Yanjing area, it is also snowing here!

It has entered the 12th month of the lunar calendar, and it is the imperial examination season again!

This year's imperial examination was ten days earlier than last year. On December 15, the imperial examination began and countless students entered the examination room.

Compared to last year, students have prepared more this year.

This year's imperial examinations are much more perfect than last year.

The imperial examinations are still divided into two subjects: Confucianism, history and law studies are combined into one! The examination time is still ten days, one and a half hours each in the morning and afternoon!

Whether it is Confucianism, practical learning focuses on the basics, and finally it is a free-to-play issue.

In the afternoon, countless candidates came out of the examination room, and many people had nervous expressions on their faces.

"Look, these candidates have all come out. I wonder how many people will be able to pass the exam this year?"

"The current pass is different from before. Even if you pass the pass, you are just an official or a subordinate, and you are far from being as good as before!"

"I think the imperial examination is good now! These scholars have just read some books and are useless except that. Why can they become officials after the imperial examination?"

"I heard that many positions in the imperial examination need to have 'practical experience', but I don't know what this 'practical experience' is?"

The snow was still fluttering, and in a teahouse around the examination room, many people were talking about it!

However, in addition to the imperial examination today, many people are discussing the entry of officials from all over the world into Yanjing.

"In just half a month, many officials have arrived in Yanjing City. What exactly should the court do?" Someone was talking about storytelling, and an old man was sitting below and whispering to the person beside him.

"I heard it was for the affairs of the Military Affairs Office! His Majesty was in Hanzhong and was established in order to deal with the military operations in the world! But now the war in the world has ended, so the name of the Military Affairs Office naturally cannot be used anymore! Moreover, in order to deal with the military operations, the Military Affairs Office had great power, and I am afraid that Your Majesty would also restrict the rights of the Military Affairs Office." Next to him was a middle-aged man in his thirties, who said this middle-aged man.

"I heard that there is still a matter of dividing provinces in various places!" Another person next to him said.

"Divid provinces? What is province?" the old man said strangely.

"Xingtai Shangshu Province! Your Majesty will set up provinces across the country and no longer set up roads!"

Provincial is the "province" of later generations. During the Song Dynasty, the title of provincial was already known as "Shentai Shangshu Province". However, in the Song Dynasty, provincial provinces were not common, but were only occasionally established. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that Kublai Khan began to establish provincial provinces across the country. Later, the Ming and Qing Dynasties continued Kublai Khan's policies.

"So that's it. I wonder if there is anything else?" the old man said again.

"I don't know this! Look, someone seems to be coming on the road again. The man seems to be Lord Yu Yunwen Yu. He always followed His Majesty and later went to manage Liaodong. He also came! I wonder who the general next to him was?" The middle-aged man next to him said suddenly.

"I'm afraid that someone who can be with Lord Yu is not low." The old man didn't recognize Li Xianzhong and nodded immediately.

These people were talking about it here, and at this moment, another pair of young and old were sitting in a corner of the teahouse.

The old man here had a completely white hair, his face with an indescribable dull expression. The young man next to him was enjoying snacks and good tea while listening to the people around him talking, with a comfortable expression.

"Mr. Jin, Your Majesty summoned the civil and military ministers from all over the world to discuss the national system. We were also invited to rush us to go to the palace tomorrow." The young man said.

"It has been almost ten years since Emperor Xuanwu ascended the throne. All kinds of systems were established for the sake of war. Now that the war is over, it is time to make changes. The old minister is also curious about how the Song people will change the system." The old man sighed softly and said.

"Your Majesty is a benevolent king. After we entered Yanjing, Your Majesty was very good to us, with various supplies and no restrictions on freedom. In addition, Yanjing City is ten times more prosperous than Kaijing, and there is no state harassment. I feel that life is better now than before. People from Goryeo often come to visit me, and I tell them to let them abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty. As long as they are good people, everything will be better than before." The young man smiled.

"Your Highness, you are the former Lord of Goryeo. The Song Dynasty destroyed me, Goryeo. How could you speak for them like this?" the old man sighed.

"Galleon and the Song Dynasty were originally one! From ancient times to the present, we have been vassal states of the Song Dynasty and we often pay tribute to the Song Dynasty. Now I just came to Yanjing City and handed over the Galleon state affairs to His Majesty to manage together. I don't think there is anything wrong with this." The young man said lightly.
