On the eighth day of the first month of the seventh year of Guanghe, it was the day of Wang Lidian's test.

Wang Li got up early in the morning to move his muscles and bones, and came to the Deyang Hall of the palace early with Wang Yun and Huangfu Song.

Deyang Palace, is the largest palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty Imperial Palace, it is said that the Deyang Palace can also be seen from afar in the Yanshi City dozens of miles away from Luoyang.

Li You once mentioned in "Deyang Dianfu": Open the third order and participate in the meeting, and the wrong gold and silver are in the two wings. Enter the Qingyang and peek at the general chapter, the history of the household. The smoothness of the Lianbi group, and the meandering of miscellaneous texts. Ernai Zhou Pavilion coin, Junlou Linmen, Zhu Que Yanyan, Saga. The green forbidden door, the corridor wings, the Chinese insects are weird, and the dense collection is precious. Da Lin Lin to the west, the middle of the pool and special. The fruit and bamboo are lush and lush to the flowers, and the descendants of the wild geese come to gather.

This endowment is full of the prosperity and grandeur of the Deyang Palace, even if Wang Li has already seen the Shanghai World Financial Center, Guangzhou Xiaoman's waist and the like in later generations, but he still can't help but secretly marvel at the luxury and majesty of the Deyang Palace.

"Chen Beidi Taishou, Shilang Huangfu Song, Shiyu Shi Wang Yun to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Wang Li followed Huangfu Song and Wang Yun to bow down.

Before he knelt down, he heard a weak voice say softly, Wang Li had already stood up, and when he looked up, he secretly glanced up.

I saw a person sitting tall in the Deyang Palace, wearing a crown of heaven, and the black crown of heaven was arranged according to the twelve, wearing a crown robe, a dark shirt, and a vermilion bottom. Wang Li's eyesight is excellent, and he saw that although the man was only about thirty years old, his face was pale, his eyes were extremely deep, his eyes were dull, his lips were colorless, and he obviously looked overindulgent.

This is today's Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty!

After paying homage, Wang Li knew that there was no place for himself in the court, so he glanced at Emperor Han Ling a little, and then quietly retreated to the last row.

The surroundings were already full of courtiers, some of them had white beards and old age, some were in the prime of life, and they were full of energy, some were black-faced and bearded, and some were white-faced and beardless, all of them were wearing black clothes, kneeling on both sides of the court, with a straight face, and did not speak.

Hiding behind everyone, he also fell at ease, but unfortunately, in addition to Wang Yun and Huangfu Song, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military only 'knew' one Feng, and the rest did not know.

A young eunuch stood in front of the hall with a male duck's throat and shouted: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat!" ”

I saw an old man walking to the hall with a wat board in his hand, kneeling up straight and saying: "The old minister Yuan Kui has something to play: Since last year, I have been in Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places have been flooded by heavy rains, and Yizhou has been hit by mudslides, and Li Shu has been displaced under the rule of several states, and the people have left their homes. Since His Majesty imprisoned the scholars and practiced the three mutual laws, Youzhou and Jizhou have been going to officials for many positions, and they have not been filled for a long time. The old minister implored His Majesty to get rid of the party, enlighten the wise men, and send cadres to the five prefectures of Jing, Yang, Yi, You, and Hebei, which has solved the difficulties of all the people! ”

The Three Mutual Law is a special law formulated by the royal family of the Eastern Han Dynasty in order to prevent the scholars from forming a party for personal gain and causing trouble to the Xiao Wall, which stipulates that all marriage families and the two states of Youyou and Hebei shall not be exchanged as officials. Eleven of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty could not hold official positions in the two states of Youyou and Hebei, and the two states had the heaviest shortage of personnel.

"Your Majesty, no!"

A white-faced, beardless, pot-bellied middle-aged man hurriedly knelt on the ground, and shouted to the heavens and said, "Your Majesty! The previous time, Chen Fan, Dou Wu, Li Ying, Du Mi, Chen Yu, Fan Fan and others formed a party for personal gain and launched a coup d'état in Xinhai in September, which was actually treason and betrayal of the monarch.

His henchmen, students, and fellow party members do not know how many, and His Majesty only imprisons them, which is already a great kindness of His Majesty, how can he be forgiven because of the words of the Taifu?

The three mutual laws are even more precautionary, for the new law of our Han Dynasty, in case the door is better than Zhou, and the good law of private power conferred and received cannot be easily replaced. ”

"It's Zhang Rang again, this dog thief!"

Hearing an official next to him scolding in a low voice, Wang Li suddenly realized that this white-faced man was the first Zhang Rang of the Ten Standing Attendants. Zhang Rang was deeply favored by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Zhong was called "Father and Mother".

Now that Zhang Rang has stepped forward, it seems that the battle between the scholar and the eunuch is about to start again.

Sure enough, I saw that Yuan Kui was already prostrate on the ground, and the old tears were rampant: "Your Majesty! The first sage once said: 'Sex is similar, Xi is far away'. The origin of evil is the same, and the color of migration is different. Deliberately it is not wanton, and it is its ambition.

Your Majesty, Chen Fan, Dou Wu, Li Ying, Du Mi, Chen Yu, Fan Fan and others have been selfless in contacts, and their love products are also ten thousand districts, and the quality is even more different, but they are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and the pottery is similar to each other, how can it be said by the party?

And the people are either dead or returning to the mountains and forests, and they don't mention it. But today, if the ban is not lifted in time to make up for the shortage of personnel in various places, and the state and county are not functioning well, where will Li Shu stay? ”

The two quarreled very hotly in the court, and a number of officials in the court: Yuan Feng, Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Zhao Zhong, Duan Qi and others also joined in.

The slang can still be understood, but the allusion is simply a retort, Wang Li only heard it dizzy, so he simply hid in the corner and closed his eyes to recuperate, wandering out of the world.

I don't know how long it took, an official next to him gently tugged at him, Wang Li opened his eyes, only to find that the court was clean, and everyone was looking at him in unison.

"Your Majesty calls you!"

The official whispered softly in his ear, Wang Li glanced at the official with gratitude, and slowly walked to the court: "Your Majesty is calling Weichen?" ”

Except for Huangfu Song and Wang Yun, who looked uneasy, the rest of the people wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, Emperor Han Ling was also very angry, but seeing Wang Li's absent-minded appearance, it was obvious that he was also impatient with the battle in the court, but he was like himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little confidant.

waved his hand and said, "Is there another thief Cao Peng here?" ”

Huangfu Song and Wang Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but everyone was very surprised, Emperor Ling of Han has always been extravagant, do whatever he wants, and after the party, he regards face as life, but there is a disagreement between the words of the scholar and then he was exiled or thrown into prison, I thought that Wang Li lost his manners, and he would inevitably be angry, but who knew that he let it go gently.

Wang Li did not forget the etiquette of the appropriate talent, and knelt down and said: "Weichen is from the end of Wei, I don't understand the etiquette of the court, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins!" ”

"I heard that you are Wang Yue?" Emperor Han Ling picked at the corner of his eyes, but Wang Li felt that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Emperor Han Ling, and listened to him continue, "Back then, Wang Yue was a sword master of me, and his martial arts and courage were extraordinary.

If you can defeat Ji Ling today and get the position of Sima of the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army, I will pardon you for your innocence, otherwise you will be punished for both crimes, and you will dare to respond! ”

Everyone was in an uproar, this Wang Li and Na Ji Ling hadn't started to compete, and His Majesty had already begun to favor him? Is it because His Majesty still cares about Wang Yue, or is His Majesty starting to get annoyed with the Yuan family again about that incident just now?

Wang Yun nodded slightly to Wang Li quietly, Wang Li's heart was clear, and his heart was already open: "Weichen's swordsmanship is indeed from Aweng's swordsmanship, but everything in Weichen comes from self-exploration, which is far from Aweng, and is afraid of polluting His Majesty's dragon eyes." Weichen has received His Majesty's kindness, and voluntarily gave it a try, living up to His Majesty's expectations! ”

"That's right, I'm waiting for you to shine!" Emperor Han Ling nodded, as if there was a hint of a smile on his face, and turned to the little eunuch standing aside and shouted.

"Set up a driving school field!"

……

Everyone followed Emperor Han Ling to the school field, the school field was cold with black armor, the red flag was flying, and a group of soldiers stood around, holding knives, holding the Yue, their faces were solemn, as cold as the sword.

After everyone stood in their respective positions, Emperor Han Ling nodded and asked, "Father, Sikong, Wang Qing, how did you discuss the matter of the palace test?" ”

Zhang Rang stepped out of the ranks, looked at the soldiers around him, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the six arts of the gentleman: the number of imperial books of ritual and music." The five schools of the Northern Army are the elite of our Han Dynasty, and the shooting voice is the top priority, if you want to assist Captain Ma in the helm of the shooting sound army and convince the soldiers, you must be outstanding in martial arts and outstanding in imperial shooting.

After discussion, the ministers and others decided to play three games in a row, and the final winner should be the military horse. In the first game, the art of imperial archery is tested, and an arrow target is set up a hundred paces away, and the two draw their bows on the horse, and the one who shoots the heart wins. The second test compares the martial arts of the two, and the two fight each other, regardless of the weapon, limited to 30 moves, and the one who is still in the red circle wins. ”

"Oh, what about the third one?" Emperor Han Ling glanced at Yuan Kui and asked.

Hearing Emperor Han Ling's words, Zhang Rang naturally comprehended it, and was secretly happy in his heart, glanced at Yuan Feng, sneered, and then said: "The third exam question, at that time, Your Majesty will be invited to come up with the question." ”

Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui looked at each other, and the third scene was originally scheduled to be asked by Taiwei Yang Ci. Although Yang Ci didn't say that he would definitely favor the two, at least he wouldn't deliberately embarrass this Ji Ling.

It's a pity that Zhang let this thief declare his personal vendetta, and in an instant, he lost the decision of the third scene to His Majesty.

Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui didn't care much about Ji Ling, but Ji Ling was a general under his sister-in-law Yuan Shu, and he really couldn't rely on Yuan Shu's request; Although the second has a good relationship with Wang Yun and is still an in-law, they can be regarded as like-minded, but after all, this is related to the face of the Yuan family, since he has knocked down the ring in front of His Majesty, how can he not expect his family to win?

Of course, the most important thing is that once Ji Ling gets the position of Sima of the Tun Cavalry Army, the tentacles of the Yuan clan in Kyoto will be more extensive.

It's just that the two guessed the beginning, but they didn't guess the result.

Zhang Rang had a personal vendetta, and in a blink of an eye, he directly threw the decisions and decisions of the third scene directly to His Majesty. What I didn't expect was that because of Wang Yue's reason and the exhortation just now, His Majesty had gently shifted the balance of victory to Wang Li.

The two of them suffered a secret loss, and they were still secretly repenting, when they heard a shout on the field, "The game is on!" I saw that Wang Li and Ji Ling had already walked towards the field.

Ji Ling took a jujube red horse and turned over, but saw Wang Li walking next to a white horse, gently stroking the foal with his hand, and kept whispering in the horse's ear, the horse was white and clean, and couldn't help grinning: "Wang family boy, it's not a daughter-in-law, why are you touching it for so long?" ”

Although His Majesty was on his side, the surrounding officials and soldiers laughed.

Ji Ling's words were extremely unreasonable, but Wang Li was not annoyed, he looked up at Ji Ling, who was triumphant on the horse, and his face did not change: "Wang has lived in the mountains since he was a child, and he has never seen a horse, but he likes it for a while and chats with the horse." But I didn't know that Master Ji had to touch his daughter-in-law for a while before marrying his daughter-in-law, and Wang was really lonely. ”

"Haha!" At this time, even Emperor Han Ling couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud.

"You!"

Ji Ling glanced at Wang Li angrily, shouted at a soldier beside him, and turned his face with contempt and provocation: "Fetch me a three-stone bow!" ”

can open the three-stone bow, this Ji Ling can be regarded as a person with brave strength.

It's just a pity that he met a Wang Li who has outstanding swordsmanship and strength, or a Wang Li who is no longer what it used to be.

Three-stone bow? It's just three hundred and sixty catties, and according to the algorithm of later generations, it is only one hundred and eighty catties.

Wang Li shook his head secretly, then he rode on his horse slowly, strolled to the front of the soldier, and also took a three-stone long bow, and even took a pot and put it on his back, muttering to himself: "Wang has very little strength, and I don't know if I can pull away the three-stone strong bow." ”

Hearing Wang Li's whispers, and seeing Wang Li carrying a pot of arrows, he was obviously lacking in confidence.

Ji Ling casually took an arrow from the soldier's hand and shook his head: "It's better to meet than to be famous, it's better to be famous than to meet, Ji has also heard your name many times, I thought that Your Excellency must be a hero, but it turned out to be an embroidered pillow." ”

A hint of shame appeared on Wang Li's face, and he explained to Ji Ling ashamedly, "Yes, yes, what Master Ji said is true!" Wang's family was down-and-out when he was a child, and he used to hunt in the mountains with only some bamboo arrows and homemade mulberry bows, but this iron arrow long bow was used for the first time, please don't blame it! ”

After finishing speaking, looking at the arrow in Ji Ling's hand, he was even more ashamed, and a bunch of red clouds quickly rose on Wang Li's face: "Master Ji, you just use an arrow?" ”

Ji Ling smiled contemptuously, raised the arrow in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you want to hit the red heart, one is enough!" With that, his legs clamped, and the red horse circled around the school field like an arrow, and galloped towards the flag-raising soldier.

Although Ji Ling looks a little vicious, he also has the demeanor of a martial artist, and he is unruly and unruly, to put it bluntly, he is domineering and sharp, how to look at it makes people enthusiastic.

On the other hand, Wang Li, Wang Yun and Huangfu Song praised like flowers, but they couldn't resist the fast horse, couldn't make a hard bow, couldn't make the arrow, no matter how they looked like Prince Charming, but like Tang Seng who was tied up by a goblin and thrown in the hole to prepare for the pot, oh, no, there was no Tang Seng at that time, so he could only be like a sick chicken and a dog.

I don't know what Huangfu Song likes about him, crying and clamoring to marry his daughter to him.

Yang Ci, Yuan Feng, Zhang Rang and others shook their heads again and again, Emperor Han Ling also had a bitter gourd on his face, is this Wang Li going to slap me in the face!

Wang Li couldn't guess everyone's thoughts, still slowly holding the horses, walking in the opposite direction, seeing that Ji Ling had arrived in front of the flag-raising soldiers, he was holding the reins of the horse, bending the bow and arrows, only then did his legs exert himself, the white horse neighed, the sound was like a dragon's groan, kicking, kicking and flying a few steps, like a cloud floating towards the flag-raising soldier.

The speed was so fast that everyone was dumbfounded.

Cut! Isn't it simply faster than a horse? Let's let you see Ji's 100 steps through Yang Shen's arrow!

Ji Ling's heart tightened, he pursed his lips, his feet clamped tightly on the horse's back, his eyes were like copper bells, his bow was like a full moon, his fingers were gently released, "snort", only to hear a silk crack, and the long arrow roared away towards the red heart of the arrow target with the sound of the wind.
