Chapter 127
In today's life, the historical stories that happened to Li Xin, Chen Zuoting and others will naturally not happen again, because at least Li Xin has now been admitted to the Jinshi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Chen Zuoting was also admitted to the martial arts examination under the personal auspices of Qiu Zhaolin, and was sponsored to Beijing to participate in the martial arts examination. According to Emperor Chongzhen's understanding of him, there is naturally no problem in taking the Wujin Warrior exam.
Sure enough, talent is talent, just as gold always shines, as long as you are good enough, coupled with a slightly fair and just environment, you will quickly stand out, emerge, and get ahead.
Chongzhen's first year of martial arts examination finally came to an end on July 11. Nearly 2,000 martial artists from all over the world, including the towns on the nine sides, gathered in the Huangming Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall in Tongzhou, and after nine consecutive days of martial arts examinations, they were finally evaluated and ranked out of the big list.
At the tenth hour of the first month of July, 200 Chinese warriors, under the guidance of Sun Chengzong, Zhang Weixian, and Li Banghua, the ministers of military aircraft, walked through the main gate and entered the Jianji Hall in the palace to participate in the martial arts hall presided over by Emperor Chongzhen himself.
This is naturally the first time in the history of China. In fact, in the fourth year of Chongzhen's martial arts, he conducted a palace test, and the 100 people who were selected ranked in the top three and third ranks, and the top 30 were personally selected by Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen in history.
Although before Emperor Chongzhen, the martial arts examination in the history of China has a history of thousands of years, but the status of the martial arts has been completely raised to the same height as the liberal arts jinshi, and the ranking of the martial arts scholars in the palace examination has been personally arranged, and in the history of China, the Chongzhen Emperor is indeed the first person.
After all, most of the martial artists are martial arts and all-round talents, after all, they are still rare, so the palace test questions given by Chongzhen and the emperor are also very simple, that is, the first sentence of the opening sentence of the interpretation of Sun Tzu's Art of War: "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." ”
These things are all in the art of war that you have to rely on in the martial arts exam, and naturally everyone is familiar with it.
However, knowing is not really knowing, and the more familiar things are, the more difficult it is to be able to say something new.
But Emperor Chongzhen's purpose was not to create problems for these martial artists, but to give everyone the same opportunity, in addition to testing the depths, to ensure that everyone would not be completely unable to answer. Emperor Chongzhen's purpose was of course achieved.
Looking at the new martial arts scholars who were immersed in writing in the Jianji Palace, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was not to mention how happy, especially looking at Yan Yingyuan, who seemed extremely calm and capable among a group of people, and Chen Zuoting, who seemed a little nervous, and now Emperor Chongzhen, finally has the feeling when Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, reopened the imperial examination a thousand years ago, that is, the feeling that all the heroes of the world are in the palm of his hand.
Yan Yingyuan was silent on the surface, looking like Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, but the excitement in his heart was only known to him.
In the past three months, Yan Yingyuan has been like a dream, an opportunity that he has dreamed of for many years has been realized extremely smoothly with the ascension of a new emperor. Wu Jinshi is not as valuable as Wen Jinshi, but after all, he is also from Jinshi.
No matter how surging Yan Yingyuan was in the Jianji Palace, at least at this moment, he was still very calm.
However, this calmness, by the end of the exam that afternoon, I couldn't hold back at all.
Because in the end, the emperor personally selected three of the first class and the first two of the second class among the top thirty new science and martial arts scholars jointly recommended by the three ministers of military aircraft.
The first three people are Yan Yingyuan, Wang Laipin, and Weng Zhiqi, and the top two in the second class are Chen Zuoting and Xu Yanqi, and the remaining twenty-five people in the top 30 are naturally in the second class.
The other 170 students will maintain their overall rankings.
When the young emperor personally said that the champion of Enkewuju in the first year of Chongzhen was himself, Yan Yingyuan, who had always been calm, burst into tears in an instant, not only staggered out immediately, and then knelt on the ground, while shouting Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, while can't help but cry, I can't control it at all, and I almost cried.
Looking at the national heroes who he admired so much in later generations, and now he is so emotional in the Jianji Palace, Emperor Chongzhen was also moved in his heart, personally stepped down from the throne, stepped forward to support him, and looked at him and nodded deeply.
For a situation like Yan Yingyuan, Emperor Chongzhen, who has the experience of later generations, is completely understandable, and sometimes it is difficult to accurately distinguish the external performance of a person when he is extremely happy and when he is extremely sad.
Through Yan Yingyuan's true feelings when he learned that he had won the martial champion, Zhu Daming can at least guarantee one thing, that is, Yan Yingyuan is a person, and it is impossible for him to forget his identity as the martial champion in the first year of Chongzhen in this life and this life, and from now on, this person will definitely become the hardcore thug of the emperor.
was completely different from Yan Yingyuan's performance at this moment, Chen Zuoting finally relaxed and calmed down, except for kneeling on the ground and thanking him and shouting long live, the others were not much different from the other martial artists present. From this point, it can also be seen that the personality difference between these two people is as light as a weight, while Chen Zuoting is as light as a weight.
The next day, the list of 200 new martial arts scholars was posted at the south gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of War and the Huangming Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall, except for Yan Yingyuan and other first-class three people, Chen Zuoting and Xu Yanqi, the two first-class and second-class two, Zhu Kezhen of Shunde, Guangdong, Pan Yunteng of Hanzhong in Shaanxi, Lu Yuanding of Dehua, Jiangxi, Wang Gonglue of Jiangyin in Nanzhi, and so on.
Different from the arrangements before the Ming Dynasty and after the first class, the new science and technology warriors in the first year of Chongzhen, whether they were born in the first class and the first, the second class and the second class, or the third class with the same jinshi, did not directly grant the position of military general, but in accordance with the emperor's will, they collectively entered the Huangming Zhongyi Lecture Hall, and began their three-month purgatory career as the second batch of students since the establishment of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall.
Most of the martial arts warriors in the new section, although they are strong in martial arts, and they can use all kinds of weapons, but they don't give you the opportunity to practice this at all in the martial arts hall, including archery and horse archery, and they rarely have the opportunity to practice, after all, archery and horse riding and archery are the subjects practiced by the students of the cavalry section of the first phase of the martial arts.
And these martial artists, although they are said to be born as martial artists, but when they come to the martial arts hall, they are full of recruits, including those who were later recommended from various health offices, passed the examination of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and then passed the martial arts examination and became a martial artist, they also have to learn from scratch.
The content of the study includes the "Discussion of the Yuan Yuan" of Emperor Taizu Gao of this dynasty, the military machinery department, the military department and the five military governors' jointly printed the Emperor's Ming New Army Drill Code, as well as the military law and military law in the Ming Dynasty, as well as various golden drum banners in the Ming army.
After learning these things every day, I ran lap after lap along the large playground with a circumference of five miles in the martial arts hall.
And the most torturous thing is the extremely boring queue drill that is repeated over and over again.
