Chapter 44 Entrance to the Military Academy
Ten days later, Li Tengjiao went to Fucheng with his father to apply.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw the two of them hanging their heads and about to go out.
"Brother Wen Zheng, Brother Yuan Zhong."
Li Tengjiao recognized these two people as his friends Luo Wanzao and Li Shixiong, so he stopped them.
When the two heard this, they raised their eyes and saw that it was their classmate Li Tengjiao, who raised their spirits a little and greeted them.
"Look at the two brothers, they are also here to recruit martial arts, right?"
Seeing that his classmates and friends also came to recruit martial arts, Li Tengjiao was very happy, and while he was excited, he ignored the emotions of the two.
"Alas, there is no way to serve the country, there is no way to serve the country."
Luo Wanzao looked sad, and it seemed that he had not been recruited.
Li Tengjiao was suddenly surprised, Luo Wanzao was an extremely outstanding student in Nanchang Fuxue, and he was promoted to high school in the township examination this year, but for some reason he didn't even apply for the Fuxue.
"Where's Brother Yuan Zhong?"
When Li Shixiong heard this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to his eyes, shook his head, and then stopped talking.
It turned out that Li Shixiong was eliminated because he had been studying at the desk for a long time, injured his eyes, and his eyesight was not up to standard.
And Luo Wanzao was even more depressed, because he was admitted to the exam, he was not even qualified to sign up.
Li Tengjiao asked the reason, and suddenly became nervous.
The two classmates who were both more educated than him did not apply, and Li Tengjiao couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
But when Li Tengjiao's father Li Zhongxing heard this, he secretly felt a little luck in his heart, hoping that his son would not be able to be recruited, so he could go home honestly and apply for the promotion.
Although this is the case, Li Zhongxing is a little curious in his heart, he doesn't know what the threshold of this martial arts is, and he can't even recruit people and people, if his son can be recruited, wouldn't it be even more powerful than that people.
Then he secretly thought to himself, no wonder His Majesty's quasi-martial arts students were awarded the identity of the person after they retired from the army, and it turned out that there were considerations when they were recruited.
In this way, Your Majesty is really wise.
Li Zhongxing thought about it secretly, and went into the front yard of the mansion with his son as a friend.
I saw all kinds of novel appliances in the courtyard, and several young people were testing them in front of the instruments.
"Remove the boots!"
A brocade guard shouted loudly at Xiucaigong, who was measuring his height, but the Xiucaigong hesitated and refused to take off his shoes.
"Except for the boots, you must remove the boots, and the measurement of the boots is a rule set by His Majesty himself, and everyone must abide by it."
Jin Yiwei persuaded loudly again, and by the way, Zhu Youzhen also moved out.
The emperor moved out, and the showman had to take off his boots when he heard the words, and then, the person instantly became a big shorter.
The people around immediately burst into laughter.
"Five feet one inch long, not up to the recruitment standard."
In order to take revenge for Xiucaigong's cheating, the brocade guard loudly reported the height of Xiucai.
Immediately caused another burst of laughter.
was so ashamed of that talented man that he didn't care about putting on his shoes, so he picked up his boots and ran.
Zhu Youzhen once carefully measured the unit of measurement of the Ming Dynasty with a meter ruler of later generations, and found that one ruler of the Ming Dynasty was almost 32 centimeters of later generations.
According to Zhu Youzhen's observation, the average height of adult males in the Ming Dynasty was almost between 165-170 centimeters, so Zhu Youzhen set the standard for conscription at 1.65 meters, that is, 5 feet 2 inches in the Ming Dynasty.
The people of the Ming Dynasty who could afford to read were naturally better than ordinary people, and their physical fitness was naturally better.
But despite this, the recruitment standard of 1.65 meters still keeps many outstanding young people out of the door of martial arts.
Li Tengjiao also laughed with everyone, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore, because it was his turn to test.
"Tengjiao, don't panic, take the test well."
Li Zhongxing was originally not very interested in this martial arts, but after seeing too many eliminated people, his competitiveness began to trouble.
Li Tengjiao returned a slightly nervous smile from his father and stepped into the scene.
After a basic test of height, weight, eyesight, limbs, etc., Li Tengjiao finally had a smile on his face.
"Tengjiao is good!"
The son passed the preliminary test, and Li Zhongxing was a little overexcited for a while, forgetting the decency of a scholar.
"The examination room is heavy, don't make noise, offenders will be expelled."
A Dongchang eunuch shouted with some displeasure.
When Li Zhongxing heard this, he hurriedly made amends, for fear of ruining his son's exam.
After passing the basic test, Li Tengjiao and the other three were taken to the palace signing room by a brocade guard, and what was waiting for them would be a novel exam.
Today there are young rabbits in the same cage, the first thirty and five, the lower ninety and four, let me ask: how much do the young rabbits have?
Today, there is a city with a thickness of five feet, two rats wear each other, rats are doubled every day, and mice are half a day.
One day, the saint hunted, Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang Bayuan generals accompanied, wild arrows chased deer, one yuan general, but the arrows danced wildly, unable to distinguish who was in it, and the generals had different opinions.
General Zhao said: Or for General Wang, or for General Wu.
General Qian said: If this arrow hits the head of the deer, it must be a certain one.
General Sun said: I thought it must have been shot by General Zheng.
General Li said: Even if this arrow hits the head of the deer, it is not General Qian.
General Zhou said: What General Zhao said is false.
General Wu said: Not a certain middle school, nor General Wang.
General Zheng said: Ding is not General Sun.
General Wang said: What General Zhao said is true.
The generals talked about it, and the saint ordered someone to pull out the arrows on the deer carcass, and check the marks on the spot, and there were arrows marked as evidence, and three of the eight generals said that they were true.
Just ask: Who killed the deer?
Half an hour later, the four of them came out of the signing room listlessly, all silent.
"How?"
Li Zhongxing saw that his son's face was not good, and he thought that it was broken.
"Alas, this question is very difficult, I am afraid that this time I will rest, and the child will disgrace his father."
After speaking, Li Tengjiao bowed deeply to Li Zhongxing with a look of shame.
"Hahaha."
A sharp voice sounded through the palace, and everyone looked at it, who was not the eunuch of Dongchang.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him with an annoyed face, the eunuch didn't care and opened his mouth to say.
"This test question is written by His Majesty himself, which implies the secret of heaven, Rao is a cabinet bachelor and does not know everything, what can you do, you and other children and go home to study for a few more years!"
The eunuch's mouth was really stinky, if it weren't for the power of his angel, Li Zhong would have wanted to step forward and slap him in the mouth.
"Tengjiao, go, go home with your father, don't suffer from such a, and when my son is a scholar and first, I can also be loyal to the country and serve Your Majesty."
After speaking, Li Zhongxing angrily pulled Li Tengjiao to turn around and leave, and Li Tengjiao was even more ashamed, and rushed out first without waiting for his father to pull.
When he was about to leave the gate of the palace, he heard a person behind him chasing after him.
"The virtuous nephew stays, the virtuous nephew stays."
The two turned around to look, but it was the government official who had invigilated the exam before who greeted them in person.
