Chapter Ninety-One: Standing Out
The reason why the ministers in the palace were so shocked by the title of "the first warrior in the world" was because this title only appeared twice, the first time was when Emperor Taizu rewarded the founding commander Yu Wujiang, and the second time was when the first emperor rewarded Zhenguo Gong to win the sky.
Now, when the emperor suddenly used this title, does it have a special meaning? Zhenguo Gong was awarded the title of "the first warrior in the world" by the first emperor, and now the emperor has named a "first warrior in the world", is the emperor's move hinting at something?
Zhenguo Gong is one of the three known masters of the Gangyuan realm in the world, and he is the commander who ranks first on the list of famous generals, has been running Wulanjiang for many years, with millions of soldiers under his command, and the only heavy armored cavalry corps in the imperial court, which is in his territory, this kind of might, who in the world dares to compete with it?
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, so can a country tolerate two firsts in the world? The first warrior given by the first emperor is still alive, and now the emperor is also going to entitle a "first warrior in the world", is there any other mystery in this?
Looking at everyone's surprised and puzzled expressions, Xia Ding ignored it, smiled slightly, and continued: "In addition to the above rewards, I will also take out a territory as a dowry for the princess.
In the whole world, as long as it is the territory that the princess likes, I will reward it to the princess, and after the princess and the princess get married, they can move to their own territory to live, hehe...... In this way, I have also settled a matter of concern. ”
Maybe it's rare to say so many things in one breath, after praising the three of them, Xia Ding couldn't help but cough lightly, a big eunuch wanted to hand over the medicine to feed, but was stopped by Xia Ding, it can be seen that he is very happy at this time.
After praising and encouraging the three of Ling Xia, Xia Ding waved his hand to the side, only to see an old eunuch leading three fifteen or sixteen-year-old little eunuchs with childish faces into the Jinxiao Palace, and after seeing Xia Ding and the Manchu Dynasty, the three little eunuchs were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground and shivered.
In this era, the status of eunuchs is extremely low, seeing the three little eunuchs trembling, everyone's faces showed a trace of contempt and disdain, except Ling Xia, looking at the little eunuchs' frightened and panicked looks, he moved a trace of compassion for these three little eunuchs.
Glancing at the three little eunuchs expressionlessly, Xia Ding slowly read out the exam questions of the summary competition: "Later, the three of them will write the ancient precepts of Taizu silently, and the three of you will act as referees, judging the results of the three of them in turn, I hope you can judge fairly."
The fate of the three of them is at stake in your evaluation, and if any of them write well, I will be rewarded. If they don't write as well as they want, then launch the noon gate and behead you, and I'm going to test your vision today to see who is the most just.
If you want to become my fast son-in-law, you must have outstanding literary talent, outstanding martial arts, elegant temperament, handsome appearance, in addition to these, you must also have a good mind and selfless thoughts, if you can't even be a mere referee, how dare I hand over my daughter to him. ”
After saying the rules, Xia Ding glared at the three little eunuchs, read the title of the ancient precepts of Taizu to the three of them, and then ordered the three of them to write the ancient precepts of Taizu silently in public.
The three little eunuchs were scared of the six gods at this time, after hearing Xia Ding's order, the three of them showed bitterness on their faces, they were born in poor families, they only went to private school for a few days, and some of them didn't even study private school, even if they copied the ancient teachings of Taizu, they might not be able to do it, let alone write the ancient teachings silently.
After listening to the title narrated by the emperor, looking at the three four treasures of the study in front of them, the three little eunuchs glanced at each other, and then knelt down in front of the four treasures of the study, unfolded the paper, calmed down, and then began to write the content silently.
After a stick of incense, the three little eunuchs retreated to the side sweating profusely, and at this time, Ling Xia, Ying Qiankun, and Qiu Luobei walked to the answer sheet, and after watching the three little eunuchs write the answer sheet silently, Ying Qiankun shook his head, Ling Xia sighed, and Qiu Luobei looked dissatisfied.
It turned out that among the three little eunuchs, the little eunuch on the left wrote the title of Xia Ding's recitation, but only the word "Taizu" at the beginning of Taizu's ancient teachings was silently written on the answer sheet.
The little eunuch in the middle only wrote the exam questions recited by Xia Ding, but he didn't write a word about the ancient teachings of Taizu.
As for the little eunuch on the far right, he was illiterate, so he didn't even write the exam questions, and after a stick of incense, he handed over a blank paper tremblingly.
After carefully looking at the answers of the three little eunuchs, Ying Qiankun, Ling Xia, and Qiu Luobei all thought seriously for a while, and each weighed it several times, and then, according to the answers in front of them, the three of them gave three completely different rulings.
Although Ying Qiankun's character is free and heroic, but there is a kind of stubbornness of a military general in his bones, after reading the answers of the three little eunuchs, he was all assessed as unqualified, the reason is very simple, even the ancient teachings of Taizu can not be written silently, how can he be judged to be qualified.
Different from Ying Qiankun's stubborn temper, Qiu Luobei was much calmer, although he also ruled that the answers of the three little eunuchs were unqualified, but he was much more tactful in terms of wording, not as straightforward as Ying Qiankun.
Seeing that two examiners in a row ruled that the answer sheets of the three of them were unqualified, the three little eunuchs were all paralyzed with fright, and the emperor had already said that the answer sheet was related to the lives of the three of them, at this moment, they were all annoyed, regretting that they would not write the ancient teachings of Taizu silently.
Looking at the little eunuch's panicked and frightened appearance, looking at the answer sheets handed in by the three of them, and thinking of the fate that the three of them were about to face, Ling Xia felt a little unbearable in his heart, seeing that Ying Qiankun and Qiu Luobei had given unqualified rulings, Ling Xia hesitated for a moment and gave his own ruling.
Ling Xia assessed that all three of them were qualified, and sorted them in turn, he took the little eunuch who wrote the title and wrote the word "Taizu" as the first, and commented: But looking at the word "Taizu", this person will definitely be full of wealth in the future.
Then, Ling Xia took the little eunuch who wrote the title as the second, the reason is: there is no mistake in transcribing, which shows that he can make it. In the end, Ling Xia listed the little eunuch who handed in the white scroll as the third, the reason is: this son does not write easily, which shows that he is cautious.
In the end, Ling Xia made a criticism: The third son is young, this is the learning period, and there are still people who can't write the ancient teachings of Taizu silently because they are young......
After the evaluation, Ling Xia sighed in his heart: "After the result of this ruling is handed over, it will definitely cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, and at that time, I am afraid that the position of this concubine will not be related to me, ala----s, forget it, I don't want to be so much, I can't be the first warrior, and it is good to be promoted two levels in a row." ”
After thinking about it, Ling Xia handed over his answer sheet, thinking that there was nothing to do with himself in this finals, but he didn't expect that after reading the ruling results given by Ling Xia and the three of them, the emperor didn't say a word, and immediately announced that Ling Xia had won the finals, and ordered to announce to the world that Ling Xia was the master of today's concubine.
Seeing this result, everyone in Jinxiao Hall was stunned......
