Chapter Seventy-Nine: Recruiting Relatives in the Contest VI
The parents of the civil official group found that the original wishful thinking was a little ineffective, because all the scribes and scholars who had studied with Ling Xia were all beaten and couldn't stand up, and in view of the fact that the beaten candidates lost their ability to stand, they could only be eliminated.
In less than half a pillar of incense, Ling Xia actually eliminated three hundred and forty-six scholars, seeing this change, Nangong Xiongba and the parents of those generals all came to the spirit, and reminded Ling Xia with excitement one by one, and pointed out the heirs of those civil officials and important ministers to Ling Xia.
"That, beat that scholar in a blue robe, he is the grandson of the lord of the Baili Territory. The young man in the purple robe was the grandson of the Great Sacrificial Wine of the Imperial Prison. There was also the young man in the white shirt, he was the nephew of Taifu, and the nephew of the head of the Hanlin Academy also came and beat him. ”
Seeing that Ling Xia really walked towards his own heirs according to the instructions of those generals, those civil officials were all anxious, they all saw Su Qingpo's fate, Ling Xia even dared to beat the grandson of the head of the three princes and the chief examiner, not to mention his own heirs.
Thinking that Ling Xia did everything he could when he beat people, he was worried that his children would suffer, so those civil officials and parents stood up to protest, and some of the parents of those who had been beaten off the campaign went directly to the invigilator seat to complain, and they jointly sued Ling Xia, saying that Ling Xia was less and bullied more.
The scholar made a commotion here, and the warrior was not idle, seeing the scene of Ling Xia's killing in all directions, everyone applauded, and then, they picked up the pen and copied down the verses that Ling Xia recited when he beat people:
"Punch the scribe and kick the scholar. Ling Xia stepped out and hit two with one move. ”
"Kicking the old, weak, sick and disabled, punching scribes and scholars. Peerless magic to protect the body, specializing in all kinds of disobedience. ”
The poems recited by Ling Xia reminded everyone that if according to the previous exam questions, the scribes and scholars were divided into different groups, and each group competed with each other, which produced a thousand changes, and there would be countless scenes when improvising poems, but now that Ling Xia is making such a fuss, everyone only needs to focus on this one topic.
The three poems are qualified, and now Ling Xia shouted two poems in public, and everyone only needs to improvise one more poem, because the exam questions are clearly written, and the poems must be in accordance with the situation, so Ling Xia's two poems can be copied down, what is more appropriate than copying the poems read by the parties?
"Cheating, the warriors cheating, they wrote the two poems that Ling Xu recited, this can't be counted." The Wenchen camp protested loudly.
"Who cheated? The exam rules don't say that they are not allowed to be copied, since these two poems are from Ling Xia's mouth, why can't we copy and write them down? The military general's camp retorted.
The more noisy the two sides became, and they were about to pinch it up, the chief examiner Su Xiuyan rubbed his forehead with a big face, he only thought about calculating the martial arts camp when he made the exam questions, so he formulated two exam questions, one article and one martial arts, but he didn't expect things to develop to this point.
A preliminary, but it turned into a juggling in the later stage, Su Xiuyan looked at the chaotic situation in the audience, and in desperation, he could only announce the end of the preliminaries, if it didn't end, it wouldn't work, after such a while, Ling Xia had eliminated more than 400 people and disabled several people.
Among those who were eliminated by Ling Xia, almost all of them were the heirs of the Wenchen officials, seeing that their heirs were eliminated, those court officials were all anxious to jump to their feet, seeing this scene, the remaining members couldn't hold their breath, and they collectively demanded to terminate the competition.
The generals had noticed that the exam questions were unfair from the very beginning, and had long asked to stop the competition, but because the civilian clique did not do it, and now they finally waited for the civilian clique to speak, so they had no reason not to cooperate.
Those people have all seen the situation clearly, and now their heirs are still on the stage, but if they continue like this, it is estimated that Ling Xia can eliminate one-tenth of the scholar candidates, and if the next one to be eliminated is his own heir, the loss will be too great.
At this moment, the ministers can't care about fighting with the generals, and the top priority is to keep their own seedlings, in this context, because of Ling Xia's mistake, the ministers and those generals have maintained unity for the first time.
"All the contenders stop, the competition is over."
Under the pressure of Wenchen and military generals, Su Xiuyan had to announce the end of the competition, in view of the fact that there were still many candidates who did not make a move or did not have time to compose a poem, so Su Xiuyan neutralized everyone's opinions and decided to relax the conditions for qualified candidates.
In the scholar camp, any candidate who defeats an opponent is deemed to have passed the preliminaries, and the results of the competition are determined by the number of opponents defeated.
In the martial arts camp, someone who improvised a poem is considered qualified, but the result of simply copying Ling Xia's recitation of the poem is invalid, and the competition score is determined by the number of improvised poems.
As with the preliminary round, the invigilator will register the results on the spot, and in the afternoon, the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy and the right attendant of the military department will jointly send someone to review the results, and the list of the results of the competition will be announced in the evening.
This plan can be regarded as balancing the opinions of the civil and military camp, Su Xiuyan read out the competition, and walked towards the forbidden city in a lonely shape, he used to be a pedant, but now he even messed up a preliminaries.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to suppress and calculate the military generals' forces and win benefits for the civilian clique, but he did not expect that it would develop to such a point in the later stage, and the military generals accused him of being the main examiner but misconducting, and the civilian-official clique blamed him for not seizing the opportunity and causing heavy losses to his own side.
Today's preliminaries discredited Su Xiuyan, his grandson was beaten and lost his qualifications, and he was also accused of favoritism, Su Xiuyan reminded the examiners behind him that if he was biased and wanted to use the competition to recruit relatives and calculate others, he could only be unlucky in the end.
"Quickly investigate the identity of that Ling Xia."
"Send Ling Xia's information to me immediately."
"Ling Xia, is it the centurion who escorted Peng Lie?"
"Find all the information related to Ling Xia, the more detailed the better."
Ling Xia was in the limelight today, after the competition, everyone's eyes in the forbidden city were focused on him, many people began to pay attention to Ling Xia, and some people even began to collect information to investigate Ling Xia.
But strangely, when those people investigated Ling Xia, they unexpectedly found that they couldn't find anything, they could only find out part of the information after Ling Xia entered the Tiger Division, as for Ling Xia's previous information and information, no one could find it, which invisibly increased Ling Xia's mystery.
In fact, after Ling Xia came to Zhongmiao Province last time, he quietly sent Lao Cui to Feifengling to move all the hunters and mountain people there, so that Ling Xia's clues were broken, Ling Xia did not belong to this world before, and it would be strange if someone could find out his details.
Ling Xia didn't pay attention to the actions of the outside world, he was preparing for tomorrow's rematch at this time, I don't know who the chief examiner of the rematch is? What kind of questions will the other party ask?
