After Emperor Yuan Jing finished speaking, except for Song Shiwen, Lu Taiyuan and a few other people who knew the situation, everyone else stuck their heads out with a curious look.

What kind of policy article could please the emperor so much and allow Song Chi to become the first place in the imperial examination?

Your Majesty said that only Song Chi knows the Holy Will and understands the Holy Heart?

Shen Chong, who was sitting in the back, was slightly stunned. What His Majesty wanted to do most now was to start a war. He suddenly thought of a possibility.

Impossible, Song Chi is not that kind of person.

The policy papers he wrote certainly had nothing to do with the war.

At this moment, Shen Liangcai's expression, which was full of anticipation, also changed. She served as Liang Qingwu's personal bodyguard, which was a privilege unique to the female commander of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although she said nothing, she knew the situation. She could see that Liang Qingwu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Song Chi is not that kind of person, she shook off the mixed thoughts in her mind.

"As expected of my son, he can actually write such an article and do such a thing..."

Song Shiwen looked at Song Chi, who had a calm expression.

In order to get to the top, his unscrupulous skills are exactly the same as his, and even better than his.

At least he couldn't be so calm when he wrote the filial piety ode.

"Liu Bao."

Emperor Yuan Jing took out a rolled-up piece of thin paper from his wide sleeves.

Everyone sitting in the front looked shocked.

They could all recognize that it was the original examination paper. How could His Majesty actually carry the original manuscript of the policy essay written by Song Chi with him?

Liu Bao bowed and took it, coughed dryly, and then recited it aloud.

"The trouble for the people today is, where is the safety of the country? It is because they know safety but not danger, they are able to rest but not to work. This trouble is not seen now, but will appear in the future. If we do not take measures now, there will be no way to save the country in the future..."

The shrill sound spread, and although it was unpleasant to the ear, it made everyone present's eyes light up.

The first sentence of the article points out that the hidden danger of the country lies in "knowing safety but not danger, being able to rest but not to work". If plans are not made early, it will lead to great disasters.

"The trouble with the people" and "one that cannot be saved".

This disaster cannot be seen now, but it will definitely appear in the future, and then there will be irreparable danger.

Using "keeping healthy" to describe governing a country, farmers become healthy because of hard work, while nobles become weak because of leisure.

The Great Zhou was the overlord of the Central Plains, and the four surrounding countries were all small countries. This situation for a long time made the people arrogant and extravagant, and had no sense of crisis.

Hearing this, Liang Qingwu couldn't help but nodded.

Song Chi's policy paper is excellent and directly points out the shortcomings of the country.

She thought that the solution would come later.

The imperial court values ​​civil officials over military officials, local officials and businessmen collude with each other, and factional struggles are serious. The civil service should be reformed.

However, at this point, another question arises.

War is inevitable!

Liang Qingwu's expression suddenly froze, and as Liu Bao's voice spread, a chill began to appear on her face.

This...why is Song Chi like this?

Shen Chong could hardly suppress his inner surprise.

Shen Liangyu subconsciously looked at Song Chi, his eyes full of disbelief.

I was right about him. This guy really has great ambitions, even more than Song Shiwen back then.

The Great Zhou is about to have another treacherous minister!

Duke Anguo Luo Chuannan's face became extremely gloomy as he thought about this.

This policy article is good up to the middle part, but the second half proposes a solution, which is to suggest that the whole nation prepare for war!

He even criticized some people for avoiding talking about military affairs. People are terrified of war. All the people should be recruited as soldiers and preparations for war should be strengthened to boost the prestige of the Great Zhou!

It turns out that this is the only reason why Your Majesty knows the Holy Will.

When the court and the people were advising the government to stop the war, this policy paper was to justify the war. It said that the court's forced conscription was not only not wrong, but also quite conservative. The whole nation should prepare for war in order to deal with the crisis!

After Liu Bao finished reading the last word, there was a long silence in the hall.

This policy paper is excellent in terms of its conception and proposals, and it is even difficult to find fault with it.

It is true that war is inevitable and that the Great Zhou is fraught with crises. The fact that the Northern Wei dared to invade the Great Zhou speaks volumes, and there is nothing wrong with advising against strengthening armaments.

Everyone knows that the Great Zhou Dynasty emphasized literature and restrained martial arts.

The prerequisite for strengthening armaments is national strength.

The Great Zhou's treasury is empty and people's livelihood is in decline. The most important thing to do at this time is to accumulate national strength. If we strengthen the military and prepare the whole nation for war, it will only accelerate the demise!

Therefore, this policy article is not for the country at all, but for flattery!

In his policy essays, he criticized some people for being afraid of war and the people for being terrified at the mention of war.

The people he criticized were the nobles of the Great Zhou headed by Liang Qingwu, and even Liang Qingwu herself.

Shen Liangyu's expression froze, and Liang Qingwu's face was full of frost.

The others looked at Song Chi with strange eyes, and some even expressed their disdain directly!

Let’s not discuss whether this policy article is good or bad.

Last year, after a court meeting, Liang Qingwu threatened Prime Minister Song Shiwen in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, and was willing to do anything to protect Song Chi.

It is said that when he was in Ji County, Liang Qingwu sent people to protect him, but now he stabbed Liang Qingwu in the back.

This kind of person is simply an ungrateful person!

And he is an ungrateful wolf that can never be tamed!

Before this, everyone's impression of Song Chi was that of the talented Wenqu of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was calm, measured, handsome and extraordinary. However, no one expected that under that appearance, he was a man who would do anything to get to the top.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Liang Qingwu. Mu Yunxiu thought to himself that it seemed that Lu Taiyuan was right. Song Chi really had nothing to do with Liang Qingwu, otherwise he would not have done such a thing.

Why don’t talented people stay on the right path?

However, Song Chi should become my father's favorite minister. He is still on my side and still has value to me. When he is no longer useful, I will kill him.

Who would dare to use a person who stabs in the back those who have helped him?
