Pei Min couldn't have imagined that the thin old man who appeared in front of him at this moment turned out to be Guo Yuanzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the two elders of the Tang Army today, one is Xue Ne in the northeast, and the other is Guo Yuanzhen in the northwest standing in front of him. www.biquge.info If the two generals talk about military merits, Xue Ne is high, but Guo Yuanzhen is even more effective in terms of merit.

Both of them were feudal officials at the beginning, one guarded the northeast and the other operated the northwest, guarding the territory of the Tang Dynasty and protecting tens of millions of people.

"Pei Min has seen Guo Shangshu." Pei Min bowed down, and he sincerely respected such a hero with great achievements.

Guo Yuanzhen waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, you can find a place to sit when you enter the hall, and I'll change my clothes." Let's see what kind of person can make Brother Xue fancy......"

The more Pei Min stayed, the more he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Lord Shangshu, the time for this martial arts exam is coming, how can you have spare time." ”

Guo Yuanzhen turned around while putting on his clothes, and said strangely: "The martial arts examination has Dou Chen in charge, what does it have to do with you and me?" ”

Pei Min was a little messy in the wind, and said with a wry smile: "Taigong has a martial arts test quota in his hand, and he gave it to me at the beginning." I am here to participate in the military test, not to report on the military department. At this moment, with his shrewdness, how can he not see the cause of the misunderstanding. He passed the re-examination of the Ministry of Officials and already has the qualifications to be an official. All that's left is the formalities of reporting. There is no time limit for this report, Pei Min plans to report to the Ministry of War after taking the martial arts test and officially appear.

The guards of the military department recognized him, thinking that he had come to the military department to report, so they brought him to Guo Yuanzhen and made a big oolong.

Guo Yuanzhen also figured out the reason and said with a smile: "Since you are the top student in high school, you are the first in Jinshi, why bother doing this." "It's not just the imperial court, but even his military book doesn't take martial arts seriously to heart.

Pei Min hurriedly said: "Isn't this to make my resume beautiful, I participated in this martial arts because of the martial arts." The double champion of civil and military, how nice it is to say. ”

"I'm a little confident!" Guo Yuanzhen didn't dislike Pei Min's words at all, but nodded approvingly.

Pei Min continued: "In addition, I also think that even if martial arts are not as important as literary exercises, they can seek talents for the country, and they should be divided into before and after. It's just that Wuju was founded not long ago, and all the systems are not perfect, so there will be a situation where no one cares about it now. Just like the Wenju of that year, the germination of the Wenju was during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and no one took it seriously at that time. Even if the Sui Dynasty really created the Wenju system later, it was not taken seriously, and it was not until our dynasty, after many years of restructuring, that there was today's grand occasion. Wuju's current status is indeed embarrassing, but in my opinion, it is a normal situation. As long as you dare to reform and do more reforms, you can promote useful talents for my Datang. Wuju will also have the prosperity of Wenju today. ”

Guo Yuanzhen's eyes lit up, and he muttered: "What you said makes some sense, but the martial arts are all reckless people, what's the use of the country?" "Guo Yuanzhen is known for his strategy, not for bravery, for some reason.

Pei Min smiled and said: "Since you know, why don't Lord Shangshu go up to Your Majesty, and martial arts should be based on strategy." Just like the article asked, the art of war strategy is tested first, and only after passing the art of war can you participate in the martial arts test. In this way, the people in the last Wujin Shi all have strategic attainments, not to mention that they can be of great use. At least not starting from scratch, it will be much easier to cultivate. ”

Guo Yuanzhen glanced at Pei Min deeply and said, "Brother Xue really didn't see the wrong person...... This is indeed my dereliction of duty, martial arts is the business of the Ministry of War, but the old man does not pay attention to it as the secretary of the Ministry of War, it is really unreasonable. I asked someone to take you to the martial arts test, and the old man went to change his clothes, and went back to the school to see if there were any heroes of the Tang Dynasty who were worth promoting. As he spoke, he called a guard and asked him to lead Pei Min to the school to participate in the martial arts test.

Pei Min squinted his eyes and smiled, it is true that martial arts are not taken seriously, but it does not mean that martial arts are useless. Isn't the famous Guo Ziyi from the martial arts, if it weren't for the martial arts to give Guo Ziyi the opportunity to be promoted, how could Guo Ziyi achieve the miraculous achievement of rebuilding the Tang Dynasty?

If the martial arts are done better, maybe there will be one more handsome talent like Guo Ziyi. Of course, there is no one in a million characters like Guo Ziyi, but it is also a good thing to have a few generals such as Le Jin and Li Dian.

Following the guards, Pei Min came to the martial arts examination room.

Dou Chen looked at the time, although it was not time, only Pei Min had not arrived in the roster in his hand. He smiled and said: "The hour has come, and those who do not arrive are counted as ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Pei Min and a soldier hurrying over. When Pei Min was at the banquet in Qujiang, he had seen him from afar a few times, so he recognized him. After thinking about it, he waved his hand to make his subordinates wait for a while.

If only Pei Min is alone, it would be fine, but although he couldn't name that guard, he knew that he often followed Guo Yuanzhen and was a cronie. Guo Yuanzhen has the absolute right to speak in the Ministry of War, and if he offends him, let alone Chang Yuankai, even Princess Taiping can't protect him. Princess Taiping's words and deeds, joy and anger can make the prime minister above one person and under ten thousand people become local petty officials, and even exile Lingnan, but she can't help a veteran general with great military achievements like Guo Yuanzhen. Compared with the fictitious exploits of civil officials, the merits of military attachés are real, fought with one knife at a time, and if they want to wear it out, they can't block the mouth of the world.

Dou Chen is not a stupid person, and he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.

"Take off the coat!"

Dou Chen watched Pei Min hand over all kinds of materials to his deputy, and gave an order to Pei Min.

Pei Min didn't hesitate and took off his coat as he said.

This is the first level of the Martial Arts, appearance.

It sounds, but it's true. The first level of the martial arts assessment is to see whether the candidate has a "majestic torso" and whether he has the appearance of a general, if he has no capital, he will be directly unqualified and lose his qualification for reference.

For this, Pei Min is very disdainful in his heart: people can't look good, if they really look like the world, don't say anything else, Guo Yuanzhen's appearance, the first one is unqualified. I have already calculated in my heart that in the future, I will first remove this inexplicable condition: the martial arts examination is not a beauty pageant, what kind of appearance requirements do you want.

Pei Min stood with his feet straight, his chest up, and his head raised.

His figure was not strong, and he was even a little thin. But the victory is tall, with the chest muscles and abdominal muscles that have been trained recently, it still has a certain deterrent power, and the appearance is heroic, it should not be a problem to pass this level.

Dou Chen looked left and right, but he really couldn't see anything wrong, and gave Pei Min a score on the roster in his hand: B!

Pei Min walked into the school field with a smile, and there were already more than 100 people waiting in formation in the center of the school field.

Compared with the more than 2,000 people in the liberal arts, the more than 100 people in the martial arts are too few.

Pei Min found a seat and stood still, waiting for the official start of the martial arts test.
