Cheng Zhijie and others finished reading out the results of the 1,000th, stood up and said loudly: "Everyone! The enrollment of this military academy was successfully completed. We will synthesize the results of all the past few days and make a list of selected military academy students in three days, please come to see the list in the military field of the Taoist Academy in three days! ”

All the candidates agreed, and then turned around and left the military academy, while Cheng Zhijie took the results of all the candidates and Li Jing, Li Shiji, Luo Song, Qin Qiong and others to summarize them.

They are closely summarizing the results of the competition, and Wang Du and others are also looking for evidence in tandem, preparing to suddenly sue Cheng Zhijie when the list is released.

The next day, it took another day to complete the summary, and they went to report to Li Shimin with the enrollment list.

Li Shimin looked carefully at the first place on the list was Qin Huaiyu, the second place was Wu Deng, and the third place was Wang Xuance. Although Wang Xuance won two firsts, he had too many points in strength, on the contrary, Wooden was relatively average in all aspects, so he pressed Wang Xuance to rank second.

The fourth place is Wang Yizhang, the fifth place is Shang Shan, the sixth place is Gao Kan, the seventh place is Lu Yifang, and the eighth place is Zheng Zhao......

Li Shimin took a closer look at their results and nodded, "Okay!" This exam is very fair, and according to this result, you can make a list! ”

"Yes!" Cheng Zhijie and the others agreed and retreated.

Just when they thought that the matter was over, the next day, Yu Shi came out to impeach Cheng Zhijie for cronyism, corruption and illegal operations. There was favoritism and malpractice in the enrollment of military schools this time; At the same time, this incident also spread rumors in Chang'an City, which made everyone very nervous.

Cheng Zhijie took off the hat on his head and said: "Your Majesty's ministers are selected by the country, and all the assessment records and results of the military academy enrollment are all recorded. ”

Li Shimin said: "Cheng Aiqing, don't be excited, I will investigate this matter clearly." Three imperial histories, what evidence do you have for impeaching Cheng Aiqing for cronyism, corruption and illegal operations? ”

The three of them pretended to be angry and said: "Your Majesty, just look at the assessment items set by Cheng Zhijie, it is so extreme, this must be their own people who often train, so it is unfair to other candidates." ”

Li Shimin said: "I feel that there is no problem with the setting this time, and this is what I approved and agreed." The candidates' strength, upper limb strength, archery, endurance and intelligence were all tested, and there was a special explanation and demonstration before the exam, so there was nothing unfair about it. ”

The three imperial historians were stunned, they didn't know that this was Li Shimin's agreement, and Ai Ai was speechless. One person said: "Cheng Zhijie violated the rules and recruited audit students. The military academy belongs to the state, not to him, how unfair is this to others? ”

Cheng Zhijie stood up and said: "Xue Li and Heiya Changzhi were recruited by me, and I stipulated that they would audit, and they could only become regular until they entered the top ten in the year-end assessment." I can tell you, you can also recommend talents, and if you can guarantee that you can enter the top 10 at the end of the year, I will allow him to audit!

Have you seen the performance of Xue Li and Hei Tooth Changzhi? Although Xue Li is only 14 years old, he is a rare talent, even if he competes with people older than him, he can get the first place! Hei Zhi Changzhi is among the best in all competitions, and the bow and arrow is far ahead of his peers, and his comprehensive results can also be ranked in the top five.

My task is to select talents for the country, and I think that such auditors are not violations, but too few! ”

I don't think such auditors are violated, but there are too few! These words resounded loudly in the main hall, shaking the hearts of everyone present.

Li Shimin slapped the dragon book case and said, "Okay! Cheng Aiqing did the right thing! Since it is for the country, there is no internal coercion and no revenge outside; The more talents, the better, and they can all work for my Datang. ”

The three imperial historians were in a cold sweat, and one of them said: "Your Majesty! In the push-up competition, Wang Yizhang was sentenced to violate the rules twice for no reason, and his ranking was worse than Qin Huaiyu.

What's even more excessive is that in the policy assessment, the first and second places are his disciples of Cheng Zhijie, the third place is the auditor Xue Li he selected, the fourth place is his disciple Wu Deng, the fifth place is an unknown junior named Gao Kan, and the seventh place is the black tooth Changzhi of Fanbang foreign countries, this is really a big joke in the world!

Those who participated in the discussion included Wang Yizhang, the elite of the Wang family, Lu Yifang, the elite of the Lu family, and Zheng Zhao, who was deeply praised by the old general Zheng Shanguo. Aren't they as good as the barbarians of Fanbang and foreign countries?

This is clearly Cheng Zhijie's corruption and favoritism, opening the door for convenience for these people and hitting the elite of the family. ”

Cheng Zhijie looked at them like a fool, these people saw Li Shimin's face sinking like water, and thought that what they said was in the middle of their minds, they continued to boast, and finally knelt on the ground and said: "Cheng Zhijie is in the name of selecting talents for the country, harming the public and private, and in the long run, everyone will follow suit, and the country will not be a country." The ministers asked His Majesty to investigate and bring Cheng Zhijie to justice to set an example. ”

"The minister thinks that he is incompetent, has eyes but no beads, and has eyes that do not know gold and jade; There is simply no ability to select materials for the country. His corpse is vegetarian, and not killing is not enough to anger the people. ”

Li Shimin's face sank like a storm approaching in the sky, which contained a huge terrifying rage.

The eldest grandson Wuji standing in front of the ministers. Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Li Jing and others are like wood carving clay sculptures, without saying a word, where are the happy jokes.

Wei Zhengqi's beard only trembled, and he scolded secretly in his heart: "Look for death!" You are looking for death! Deserve! ”

"Smack!" Li Shimin almost smashed the Longshu case at this time. The three imperial historians were secretly happy in their hearts, looking at His Majesty's anger, this time Cheng Zhijie would have to drag a few layers of skin if he didn't die. Hmph, let you confront the family, you can stand it this time.

Although Li Shimin's tone was low, the anger contained in it could be heard by anyone. "The three Aiqing's military academy assessment and test part of this time was personally judged by me. After all, I'm still the headmaster of a military academy. It seems that everyone has a lot of opinions about me, and I have disappointed everyone. It's me who has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade, and it's my corpse vegetarian meal! ”

Li Shimin said, the three of them trembled, and finally collapsed on the ground and kowtowed: "The ministers are ignorant, and the ministers deserve death!" ”

"Excellent! Since you know that you deserve death, take them down and behead them! Let the people know the faces of these people. ”

The gourd warrior rushed up, pulled the man and walked out. The three of them were so frightened that they all had feces and urine, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. The surrounding ministers trembled, and no one dared to persuade them.

Cheng Zhijie took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the results of all the candidates in this examination should also be announced; Let everyone know in their hearts, then this rumor will be self-defeating. ”

"Accurate!" Li Shimin said coldly, and then said to the ministers: "All Aiqing? Anything else to do? ”

Everyone was silent, and then Li Shimin announced his retirement from the court, and returned to the harem accompanied by his chamberlain, and the officials of all ministries also returned to their yamen. Cheng Zhijie and others are preparing to announce the list.

The next day, a large number of people came bustling outside the military academy, and everyone was nervously paying attention to the situation of Zhang Bang. Those who see their names are ecstatic, and those who don't see their names are saddened.

At this time, someone from the army came forward to ask those candidates who were unsuccessful but had excellent grades, and asked them if they were considering joining the army, and they were promised the official position of captain or even chief from the beginning.

Some candidates joined the army after weighing it, and some were unwilling to decide to take the test again next year.

In the back, a few unsuccessful children of the family snorted coldly: "A group of dirt buns, it's just that there is nothing to be proud of in a military school." It's even happier than our son's imperial examination, which is really rare and strange. It's just a military school, let's go to it, we don't necessarily want to? ”

Someone next to them snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, you guys are jealous." What's so good about military school? First of all, the principal of the military academy is His Majesty today, and he is a protégé of the Son of Heaven when he enters the military academy. You have to go through the township examination, the general examination, and the palace examination before you can be called a protégé of the Son of Heaven. ”

"How can these reckless men who only know how to fight and kill be compared with us scholars, it's really insulting!"

"Hehe, the Tang Dynasty was fought down by them, without them, what qualifications do you people have to talk about here with peace of mind?"

There is a lot of talk about this list outside, but the first batch of 1,000 cadets of the military academy has been determined, and they are all happily preparing to report for duty.

A few days later, on the first day of September, everyone happily came to the gate of the military academy. At this time, the military academy has been repaired again, the gate has been completely completed, and on the left side of the gate hangs the six big characters of "the first military academy of the Tang Dynasty" inscribed in flying white font of His Majesty the emperor Li Shimin.

As soon as you enter the gate, there is a stone tablet erected, on which is a unique hard pen inscription written by Cheng Zhijie: "Use me in wartime, use me to win." ”

Then I walked to the front of the teaching building, and there was also a stone tablet written by Li Jing, "Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, honor is my life." "Then come to the familiar teaching and military field, which has also been re-improved, the equestrian field, the archery field, and the training ground have been divided into their own areas.

These regular students all received their own bedding and clothes, but Xue Li and Heiya Changzhi could only wear the clothes of miscellaneous servants, looking at Qin Huaiyu and the other regular students with envy.

Qin Huaiyu and the others put on their newly haired clothes, the clothes of the military academy were different from ordinary robes, they were all blue-green, and they were separated from the top and bottom, and the belt around the waist made them look even more upright and radiant.

They saw the envy in the eyes of Xue Li and Hei Zhi Changzhi, and after so many days of getting along, they didn't dare to underestimate it. Qin Huaiyu said with a smile: "You don't have to be envious, I believe that you will be able to wear this dress at the end of the year." Hurry up to your dorm! We are all four of us, and you are indeed two of you, and I should envy you? ”
