The forbidden city of Qiankuntai is the place where the civil and military officials priest heaven and earth, every major festival or when encountering the vision of heaven and earth, the emperor will lead the civil and military officials to come here to worship heaven and earth, praying for good weather and peace for the country and the people.

Early this morning, more than 10,000 candidates came to the Qiankun platform with number plates, and yesterday there were 21,867 people who entered the preliminary round, because of the competition accident and the early end of the competition, so only 13,887 people entered the semi-finals yesterday.

Among those who entered the semi-finals, there were 6,731 warriors and 7,156 scribes. For this result, Wenchen Group said that it was difficult to accept, because half of the scribes and scholars were brushed off in the preliminaries.

In yesterday's preliminaries, the scribes suffered a loss, and many scholars were eliminated because the competition time stopped before they had time to compete with them, but those warriors were reminded by Ling Xia that most of them had gathered three poems.

Two of those poems were recited by Ling Xia, and the remaining one was pieced together by the warriors themselves, although it was finally ruled that the two poems recited by Ling Xia did not count the grades, but when copying those two poems, many people took advantage of the situation to put together three poems.

Because in the end it was changed to an improvisational poem, which is qualified, as long as the warrior can create a poem, it will be cheaper for the warriors, and many warriors have passed the test because they have written verses, as for whether the words and sentences are neat, sorry, there is such a scene to make trouble, it is really impossible to check.

After yesterday's preliminaries, Ling Xia was famous, and many people found out his information, when they learned that Ling Xia was a military general from the sixth rank of the Praetorian Guard, but mixed in the camp of scribes and scholars, those civil servants scolded one by one: "Stinky and shameless." ”

There were even some Wenchen who proposed to kick Ling Xia to the side of the martial artists, but they were rejected, the reason was very simple, Ling Xia's brand name had been determined, and it could not be changed halfway, if anyone felt that Ling Xia was unfair in the scholar camp, they could put their own heirs into the martial arts camp for assessment. Hearing this reply, the civil servants all stopped.

Some people hate it, some people like it, although the literati camp is very disgusted with Ling Xia's behavior, but many people on the martial arts side support Ling Xia, they regard Ling Xia as an undercover agent sent by their side, so every time they see Ling Xia, they give him a thumbs up one by one, and call him a hero with a happy heart.

Last night, the results of the preliminaries were announced, and the answers to the exam questions were ranked by comprehensive results, Ling Xia became a well-deserved first place because he defeated 493 scholars, and Ying Qiankun wrote twelve poems yesterday and ranked second.

The third place is Nangong Xiu, his talent is also quite shallow, he wrote eleven poems describing the war of scribes, as for the literary champion Yuan Qiuluobei, after he defeated four scholars, he no longer attacked his classmates, but chose to hand in the papers, so his results in the preliminaries belong to the middle and low.

This morning, when the candidates came to Qiankun Terrace, the 20 invigilators in charge of the examination and the thousands of supervisors were all in place, and in the position of the chief examiner sat an old man with crane hair and a childish face, a strange appearance, a majestic body, and wearing golden armor.

After seeing this person, the candidates at the scene were stunned at first, everyone showed an expression of disbelief on their faces, and they pondered for a moment, and everyone did not distinguish between civil and military camps, and at the same time bowed down to each other to salute, and shouted with respectful expressions: "Meet the Duke of Zhenguo." ”

It turned out that the chief examiner of the semi-finals turned out to be the first master of Daxia, the commander who ranked first on the list of famous generals, Zhenguo Gong won the day, won the day in the early years, won all battles, and never lost a single defeat, and was praised by the opponents as the "invincible god of war." ”

Ling Xia had already heard of this Zhenguo Gong, and now heard that he was the chief examiner of the semi-finals, so he couldn't help but look at the other party a few more times, looking at the other party's resolute and resolute appearance, not angry and arrogant expression, and looking at the momentum of the world, Ling Xia couldn't help but feel a trace of awe in his heart.

"Wait for you!"

Ying Tian's voice was very peaceful, low and magnetic, looking at the candidates in the audience, Ying Tian glanced at everyone, and the place where his eyes passed was like lightning, and the coercion that burst out made none of the candidates dare to look at him.

"Recently, the old man entered the imperial capital to visit the emperor's illness, and was appointed by the emperor to serve as the chief examiner of the semi-finals.

A year ago, the infinite ocean island country frequently caused trouble from the border, and the soldiers of the other side not only attacked the border line of the imperial court many times, but even crossed the border to explore the terrain of the border between China and North Korea on several occasions.

At the same time, the detailed work that was lurking inside the Infinite Ocean Island Country also sent back news that the monarch of the Infinite Ocean Island Country had ordered conscription, and at that time, in just half a year, the amount of conscription had exceeded five million.

Now that a year has passed, as of last month, the strength of the Infinite Ocean Island Country has increased by 37 million, counting their original strength before, the total strength of the Infinite Ocean Island Country has exceeded 80 million at the moment, and this number is still growing.

Our Xia Dynasty has a border line of seven territories and a chain of infinite ocean island countries, if they raise troops, they can invade our land in an instant, at that time, the generals meant to hoard heavy troops to prepare for war, in order to prevent the other party from being full-fledged.

However, the civil officials thought that the other party's conscription was a family affair of the infinite ocean island country, and the other party's recruitment had nothing to do with us.

Now that more than a year has passed, the military strength of the Infinite Ocean Island Country has more than tripled, and the question of this semi-final is how to view the expansion of the Infinite Ocean Island Country's military strength? A stick of incense for a limited time, this time it is not faster than the speed, just look at the content, and the competition is the beginning. ”

"The other party seems to be recruiting soldiers on their own territory, right?"

"Infinite Ocean Island nation conscription? Does this have anything to do with us? ”

"What is it that they are enlisting their soldiers to hinder us? We can't handle it, can we? ”

"What are they doing with conscription? This move must be aimed at us. ”

"Yes, the goal of the Infinite Ocean Island Country is obvious, otherwise it is impossible for the other party to expand its troops on a large scale."

As soon as the exam began, the civil and military camps quarreled, and the scholars thought that the conscription of the Infinite Ocean Island Country was the internal affairs of their own country, and it was not the turn of the imperial court to worry about it. The warriors disagreed with this view, they felt that the purpose of the infinite ocean island country attacking the border and expanding its forces for no reason was intended to be unkind to Great Xia, and it should be guarded against in advance.

Ling Xia ignored the dispute between the two sides, he pondered carefully for a while, picked up the brush with a solemn expression, and after a little thought, he wrote ten words on the exam paper: "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore!" ”
