The whole process of the palace examination is very complicated, not that it is finished after taking an exam in the Jiying Palace, in addition to the process of grading and ranking, there is also a Qionglin banquet for the new and first jinshi in Qionglin Garden.

That's right, it's the Qionglin Banquet. Although Emperor Zhao Jixiang originally abolished the Qionglin Banquet held in Qionglin Yuan and held the Wenxi Banquet in Biyong instead, Zhao Huan abolished the Wenxi Banquet and re-organized the Qionglin Banquet -

Qionglin Banquet, isn't such a lofty name more high-end and high-end than some bullshit Wenxi Banquet?

It's just that Zhao Huan didn't have much interest in this kind of banquet of eating, drinking, and bragging incidentally, so he just got up and left after a few simple words, and it wasn't until the end that Zhao Huan's personal eunuch unintentionally appeared in front of many new scholars in Qionglin Yuan again.

"Except for those whose names are read by our family, the rest can leave first."

Unintentionally smiled and glanced at the many new science and technology scholars who had been assembled and were about to leave, and read the list with a smile: "New branch champion Bai Geng, new branch list eye Yi Xiao, new science and technology exploration flower Wei Xingsi, new branch Huang Wenbin ......"

After reciting fifteen names in a row, the fifteen people who ranked the highest in the palace examination in the first year of Jingkang were all retained.

It wasn't until the other new science and technology scholars and fellow jinshi had left that Wuxin continued: "Our family is here on the orders of the official family, and I have a few words I want to ask you." ”

Bai Geng and the other fifteen people glanced at each other, and saw that the eyes of Wuxin looking at him and the others were quite strange, so they could only stand up at the moment, bow down and bow: "But I don't know what the official family wants to ask?" ”

Wuxin coughed, shook off the dust in his hand, and said: "In three days, it is the time to confer the official, and the official family sent our family to ask, if the official family wants to let you enter the forbidden army for two years, and then serve in the border army for three years later, are you willing?" ”

If you don't want to, you will directly thunder Bai Geng and the others-

Since the day of the imperial examination, there has never been a case where the top 15 people, including the new champions, Bangyan, Tanhua, and Chuanlu, have been thrown into the barracks to join the army.

In fact, not to mention the top ranking, even if it is the bottom of the second class or the top three ranking, I have never heard of anyone who was thrown into the barracks to join the army, even if he could not enter the Hanlin Academy, he would be assigned to the local government to be a county commander when he was conferred an official.

As for the champions, Bangyan and Tanhua of the first class, as well as those with the top two rankings, they are basically entering the Hanlin Academy or the Yushitai or the Sixth Division.

Even if the official family has previously said that the roll call outside the Donghua Gate may not be a good man, even if the official family has ordered a ban on tattooing on the face of the soldiers, but in the eyes of the people of the entire Great Song Dynasty, a good man should be called outside the Donghua Gate, how can he enter the military camp to be a spot? It must be known that once the name of this thief with the army is worn on his head, he will not be able to take it off for the rest of his life.

Don't talk about it from afar, just say that Di Qing Di Hanchen, even if he makes immortal military exploits?

The famous prostitute Bai Peony invited by Han Qi still dared to call Di Qing, who was the deputy head of Jingyuan Road at the time, a ban'er, and he still couldn't protect his subordinates.

A good man is not a soldier, a good iron is not a nail, how did this come about?

Now it's okay, as soon as the personal eunuch of the official family came over, he said that he would throw his fifteen people directly into the barracks to join the army?

This is really the first time in the world!

After racking his brains and failing to come up with a reason, in desperation, Bai Geng could only bow down and ask, "But I don't know what the official family means?" I hope my father-in-law will make it clear. ”

Hentai didn't answer Bai Geng's question directly, and when he heard this, he just shook his head and said, "Our family doesn't know why the official family has to arrange it like this. However, before our family left, the official family had an order, and the official family said whether he was willing to enter the military camp and join the army, but he waited for his own choice. ”

Unintentionally, one of the fifteen new scholars stood up, bowed down and said: "I waited for the imperial examination, originally to support the society and educate the people, if the official family can't make it clear, forgive the students can't obey their orders." ”

Immediately afterwards, two more people stood up, bowed together and said, "If the official family can't make it clear, forgive me for not being able to obey my orders." ”

He didn't want to be annoyed, but he just glanced at the three of them calmly and said, "Since you don't want to, you can retreat and wait for three days to be awarded." ”

The three of them glanced at Wuxin again, but found that they couldn't see anything from Wuxin's face, so they immediately saluted Wuxin again, and then turned to leave.

After the three of them left, he looked at the remaining twelve people and said with a smile: "It seems that you are willing to stay?" ”

Bai Geng glanced left and right, and saw that none of the remaining eleven people around him objected, so he bowed down and said, "Yes." ”

Hentai nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "In this case, you will gather outside the Donghua Gate tomorrow, and someone will take you to the army." ”

……

The forbidden army is no longer the forbidden army it used to be.

As the so-called soldier bears a nest, there will be a nest of bears, and the 200,000 forbidden troops under the command of Emperor Zhao Jixiang are estimated to be unable to catch up with 200,000 pigs-

Not to mention wild boars, even if they are domestic pigs, they can also arch people down and even eat people, and the forbidden army under the leadership of Emperor Zhao Jixiang is a magical existence that can be beaten by twenty-seven golden soldiers.

As the emperor, Zhao Huan naturally looked down on such an army, as early as when he had finished Yan Zongwang and Yan Zonghan before, Zhao Huan had already selected some of the killers who dared to fight from the Western Army, Qin Fengjun, Taiyuan Army and a part of the forbidden army that had not been completely rotten, and reconstituted the forbidden army of Gongwei Bianjing.

Although the number of the new forbidden army is only 50,000, it can be said unceremoniously that this new forbidden army composed of 50,000 killers can abuse the original 500,000 forbidden army even with the same equipment, not to mention that the 50,000 new forbidden army has been armed to the teeth, and the equipment used is almost two or three hundred years ahead of the current situation.

Since Zhao Huan had finished beating Yan Zongwang and Yan Zonghan's brothers, he found an opportunity to make flintlock firearms and artillery, and passed on advanced tactics such as three-stage attack and gun coordination.

Coupled with the previous big victories when Yan Zongwang and Yan Zonghan and others were hard (crushed) and finished, and Emperor Zhao Jixiang secretly sponsored Zhao Huan a lot of money, and the military salary was issued in a large and timely manner, the entire new forbidden army has long been different from the original forbidden army.

And when Bai Geng and others were taken to the barracks of the forbidden army, they found that the current official family was also in the barracks.

"Why, I didn't expect to be here?"
