In ancient times, the imperial examination was divided into two types: civil and military, but the ancients emphasized literature and neglected martial arts, and martial arts were not taken seriously. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info once Song Zhenzong wanted Chen Yaozhi, who was born as a champion and good at shooting, to compete with the Khitan envoy, and promised to add an official to the knighthood. In the end, it was not able to put it into action, which shows the difference between civil and military. The Wu Zhuangyuan who can make people remember their names is Guo Ziyi in the Tang Dynasty and Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty.

Wuju, also known as "Wuke", was first placed in the second year of Wu Zetian's reign in the Tang Dynasty (702), and was an examination system for the purpose of selecting military talents. The Tang Dynasty set up martial arts to select generals, and when they waited until the fifth generation, they all took military soldiers as generals, and the generals were hereditary, so the martial arts system was not implemented.

The Northern Song Dynasty learned the lesson of the dictatorship of the martial arts at the end of the Tang Dynasty and did not set up martial arts for a long time until the seventh year of Renzong Tiansheng (1029). Later, due to the opposition of the ministers, it was abolished in the first year of the Emperor's reign (1049). More than ten years later, the first year of Song Yingzong's reign (1064) was restored, and it has been along to this day.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was no martial champion, and Xue Yi, a Fujian native of the Northern Song Dynasty, won the first place in the martial arts examination during the Shenzong period, and was the first martial champion in history.

Just after February, the time for the military department to take military action has arrived. At this time, the spring is cold, but Wang Lun and Hua Rong are more and more energetic.

Wang Lun wears a purple and gold crown with a bunch of hair, a flying phoenix forehead, and a pheasant tail. He was wearing a pair of iron chain armor, lined with a soap robe, tightly bound with a silk tape, and the Luan Lion Treasure Belt was exquisite. Riding a big green horse presented by Lu Junyi, he carried two four-fluted iron maces, bows, arrows, knives and guns. From a distance, it looks majestic and talented.

Hua Rong is full of powder and silk. Wearing a silver helmet with two dragons playing with pearls, wearing a double dragon ball-bearing white armor, a carved bow at the waist, wearing a blow-haired iron cutting Qingfeng sword, and sitting chasing clouds and white dragon horses. The appearance is dignified and eye-catching.

It was Hua's father and Hua Xiaomei who saw off Hua Rong and the others, and Wang Lun was followed by Shi Qian and Han Bolong. Lin Chong and Xu Ning are still on duty, they came yesterday, but they didn't come today. Li Zhu had nothing to do, and often visited Wang Lun since he got acquainted with him. Wang Lun was also happy to make a good friend, and this time he also came to see him off.

Wang Lun and the others were sent to the military department, and a few people couldn't enter, so they didn't send them forward. Hua Xiaomei looked at Hua Rong and said, "Brother, be careful in everything, I wish you a victory!" ”

Turning around, Hua Xiaomei saluted Wang Lun again and said, "I also wish Brother Wang the best in one fell swoop and success." ”

Wang Lun returned the salute and thanked him.

Li Zhu has read some books and has some understanding of the martial arts of this dynasty. Said: "The trial strategy and the righteousness of the military book were both excellent yesterday, and today the bow horse will be excellent again, and this provincial test will be successful, and you can participate in the palace test next month." ”

The Wu Provincial Examination was held in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, under the auspices of the Ministry of War, and the initial examination strategy and the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts" were written silently and righteously. Then send the Horse Army Division of the Ministry of Troops to test the bow horse, that is, lunge shooting, horse shooting or crossbow stepping. This is the Wu Province's attempt to determine the strategy to stay, and the bow and horse to determine the superiority.

The Wudian Examination is the highest level of martial arts examination presided over by the emperor himself. The content is to read the riding and shooting first, and then try the strategy. Those who are excellent in strategy and martial arts are superior, those who are excellent in art are second-best, those who are excellent in art are second-class, and those who are average in art are the last. If the policy is under the art level or the policy is under the art, it is not qualified. The number of students admitted to the palace examination is generally between more than 10 and more than 20.

After bidding farewell to the people who saw them off, Wang Lun and Hua Rong entered the school grounds. Father Hua and Little Sister Hua returned to the inn, and Han Bolong and Shi Qian also went to wait for Du Qian to come back. Wang Lun and Du Qian agreed on the return date on the day of Wuju.

Li Zhu looked at Wang Lun's back, and his mind turned sharply, just to see what the fate of this person was. In the past, the five generations of war were chaotic, and Zhao Kuangyin plotted the Chenqiao mutiny, usurped the throne of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and plotted to seize the world until now. He thinks he has a wide range of skills, but now that the traitor is in charge, chaos has been born, and he wants to achieve a great cause like Zhuge Liang and Zhao Pu. The heroes of the Quartet, such as Fangshan Liao Li and Shanxi Han Cunbao, have also been tested, but they are not successful people. Originally, I wanted to visit Xu Jing and Chai Jin again, but I didn't expect to meet Wang Lun in Kaifeng. If Wang Lun wins the martial champion and his reputation is even hotter, he will win over some henchmen and unite some rebels from all over the country, and there will be no chance to disrupt the Great Song Dynasty.

How did Wang Lun know that Li Zhu befriended him in order to rebel in the future, and when he entered the school, he saw three generals and a clear team. The two main examiners are neatly tied and sit facing south, which is very powerful. More than a dozen generals and colonels stood under the martial arts hall, and the soldiers of the imperial battalion were divided into two rows according to their teams.

At this time, Wang Lun and Hua Rong already knew that the examiners of this subject were Tong Guan and Gao Yu. After all, they are historical celebrities, although they are all villains, Wang Lun still wants to see them. Afraid that assassins would sneak in, for the sake of safety, all the martial arts were far away from the martial arts hall. Wang Lun tried to look towards the stage, but only saw two blurred figures.

There were also six or seven hundred martial arts people from all over the country who had passed the preliminary examination of the strategy, and they were all standing in one place waiting for the examination to start at this time. Wang Lun and Hua Rong were standing together, chatting, when they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Where is Jeju Wang Lun?" Several questions were asked.

The martial artists who spoke quietly all quieted down, and it turned out that Wang Lun from Jeju also came to participate in the martial arts, and he was really able to write and martial arts.

Hua Rong heard this, so he agreed for Wang Lun and shouted, "Here!" ”

After a while, I saw a small school looking for a voice, and two people behind him, one holding a food box, and the other holding water and wine. Xiao Xiao said: "How is Friend Wang standing here? It's so hard to find the little one. The villain came from the Taiwei's mansion, and on the order of the Taiwei, he sent wine and food. ”

I have nothing to do with Gao Yu, how could Gao Yu let people send wine and food! But Wang Lun couldn't refuse, so he had to accept the wine and food and thank the school.

Sure enough, the group of martial artists next to him looked at it with hot eyes and became jealous.

"I don't know where you came from!" This is said by people who don't know the details.

"I'm afraid I threw myself under the Taiwei Sect!" They all guessed.

Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong were also in the crowd, looking at Wang Lun's eyes hot. Brother Dang Shiying said: "You and my brother want to come out, just today!" The younger brother Dang Shixiong nodded secretly.

The little colonel glanced at everyone with cold eyes, and everyone quickly shut up. At this time, the little colonel said to Wang Lun: "Friend Wang, please go with me to pay a visit to Captain Xie." ”

Wang Lun saw everyone's reaction at this time, and he was secretly anxious. But Gao Yu invited him and couldn't help but go, so he left Hua Rong to wait, and followed the school to see Gao Yu.

When he came to the martial arts hall, Wang Lun was respectful, smiling Gao Yu and Tong Guan and a group of generals and said: "Jeju Wang Lun meets the captain and the generals."

"Get up!" A gentle voice rang out.

Wang Lun got up and looked at Gao Yu. I saw that this person had a fair complexion, blazing eyes, and a black beard. Dressed in a purple robe, with a gold belt and jade around his waist, he looked serious. But in the face of the famous traitors of the Northern Song Dynasty, he did not dare to ignore them.

Gao Yu looked at Wang Lun and said, "I heard that you are both civil and military, and you still want to win the martial champion of this subject?" Without waiting for Wang Lun to answer, Gao Yu said to himself: "If you have real skills, why don't you fill in your name directly on the list." Gao Yu seems to be saying good things and takes a fancy to Wang Lun, but every word is heartfelt.

Not to mention that the martial artists in the audience were excited, even the generals present were also annoyed.

Wang Lun secretly screamed badly! Off the field, Hua Rong also sweated for him.
