Early the next morning.

The carriage that came to Hu'er slowly stopped at the door of the Yibang martial arts examination room under the arch of hundreds of guards, and Su You, who was dressed in civilian clothes, walked first, and then came to Hu'er and Lai, who were dressed in military uniforms.

Duan Wenzhen obviously knew that Laihu'er would come, so as soon as the carriage stopped, he, Wang Shichong and the others hurried over, and after saluting Laihu'er, he said officially, "Welcome to the examination room with the great general and Su Yushi, I hope that the two of you will give you advice, so that we can complete the arduous task of selecting materials for the country perfectly." ”

Lai Hu'er nodded, returned the salute seriously, and waved his hand, "Duan Shangshu and you are polite, I came to inspect on the orders of His Majesty, and I don't need you to accompany me, you can do it yourself." ”

Su You also smiled and saluted everyone back, "I'm just here to make soy sauce, you don't need to care about my storage." ”

"That being the case, I won't be polite to the two, I'm about to go to the first list examination room to have a look, the main person in charge here is Wang Shichong, a foreigner, if you have something, you can send someone to the first list examination room to pass on me, or you can find him directly. Farewell. Duan Wenzhen was not pretentious, and after saying these few words, he got on the horse and left.

Wang Shichong took a step forward, saluted Su You again, and said loudly, "The candidates are still warming up, please go with me to rest." ”

Under the guidance of Wang Shichong, Lai Hu'er walked towards the examination room, and asked Wang Shichong as he walked, "Wang Yuanwai, right?" Let's tell the old man about the exam rules first. ”

Wang Shicheng immediately replied cautiously, "That's right, the second list has one less test of the art of war than the first list, only mounted archery and weapons; The cavalry and archery test was completed early yesterday morning, and this weapon test is afraid that it will take two days in a row. ”

"The second list doesn't test the art of war?" Laihu'er asked knowingly.

"Didn't the general know the will that came down last night?" Wang Shichong obviously didn't believe that the people who were sent by Yang Guang to inspect the examination room would not know the news, but he was humble and light, and he didn't dare to say too-for-tat.

Lai Hu'er nodded, thinking that since this matter had been decided, it was not for him to be entangled, so he had to change the topic, "Are there any standards for the exam?" ”

"Riding archery is divided into three basic horseback riding movements and running smoothly throughout the whole process, a total of four points, and then three arrows each for the foot bow and the riding bow, a total of six points, and one color is added to the bull's eye, and the highest is ten six colors."

Not to mention, Wang Shichong's business ability is still good, and his voice is loud, if it weren't for his Western Regions face, hooked nose and half of his yellow hair curls, he would really have the potential to go to Honglu Temple to serve as a guest.

"What about weapons?"

"The test weapon is also ten, and the examiner will score according to the proficiency and maturity and the difficulty of the move." Speaking of weapons, Wang Shichong's answer was a little twisted, as for why the rules are set like this, everyone who makes the rules knows why.

The hustle and bustle is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle is all for profit.

These sixteen-character mantras can be interpreted as a qiē.

Lai Hu'er immediately said with a burst of blood, "Such a comment is a test of the examiner's conscience." ”

Wang Shichong's old face turned red, and he had to argue, "This is also something that can't be helped, unlike the literary exam, and the test papers, the time is in a hurry, and we can only do this, we will try to be fair." ”

Su You listened to one of them knowingly ask, and one answered in a high-sounding manner, and at this time he couldn't help but interject, "In fact, there is a fairer way, such as letting seven or eight judges score together, and when calculating the score, remove the highest score, and then remove the lowest score, and take the average." ”

"Su Yushi is really wise, this method is really amazing." Wang Shicheng immediately stretched out his thumb to Su You, and after a fart, he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that we are still a little short of manpower, our examiners are only four, if you go to the beginning and the end, the average score of the two people can't be said, right?" Besides, everyone has to test the kung fu of tea, so you can't test a few people in a day. ”

Lai Hu'er also nodded, and smiled at Su You, "Since the rules have been decided, it's almost like that, it's always too hasty to change generals when facing the enemy." ”

"Thank you, General, for understanding the difficulties of our waiting." Wang Shichong smiled and thanked Laihu'er, but he had more resentment towards Su You in his heart.

When Laihu'er was about to say something, he heard someone shouting in the distance, "Wang Yuanwai, please come here, there is something you need to deal with." ”

Wang Shicheng immediately looked at Lai Hu'er with some embarrassment, and the latter waved his hand and let him take care of himself.

After watching Wang Shichong's back disappear, he couldn't help but sigh, "According to the judging method he said, where is there any fairness in this exam." ”

Lai Hu'er listened to his son's sigh and couldn't help laughing, "You can see everything here, but you can't see fairness." ”

Su You listened to it and thought it was true.

When they heard the loud cheers outside, the three of them thought it was time to start the exam, so they got up and walked out, and when they got out of the tent, they realized that the place where the crowd was full of people was not the exam site, but the training ground on the other side.

It is only because of the martial arts examination that three or five large tents have been temporarily set up on the north side of the open space of more than ten acres, and the weapons examination will be held in four of the tents at the same time.

The south side of the open space was divided into dozens of training grounds of different sizes, and the cheers just now were heard in the ears of the training grounds.

Lai Hu'er walked to the training ground with great interest, and saw that there were people doing warm-up exercises in each venue along the way, due to the limitation of the venue, more candidates could only wait and watch, and the cheers just now came from their mouths.

After walking for a short time, Su You saw Wen Dayou, Qin Shubao, Li Tianyi and Shan Xiongxin, but now he was accompanying the inspectors, and it was not easy to greet them.

When he came to Hu'er and saw a young man dancing with a red tassel gun, he couldn't help but stop, looked at it for a while, and finally shouted with some excitement, "That young man, but more than Zhou Yu?" ”

The young man could hear Hu'er's greeting, and immediately retracted his momentum, thrust the gun into the ground, and trotted to Hu'er's side, then saluted and said, "The little nephew is the Zhou people, it's good to come to the uncle." He turned around and called "Sixth Brother" again, but he didn't know Su You.

Lai Cheng nodded with him, and then leaned into Su You's ear and whispered, "He is Zhou Fashang's child, Zhou Fashang originally wanted him to marry Yanbei, but his father was busy at the time and delayed this matter."

Su You nodded, thinking to himself, good delay, if there is something else to do with me?

It's just that Zhou Fashang is not Dingxiang Taishou now? How can Taishou's official position be said to be above the fifth grade, why doesn't he go to the first list?

Lai Hu'er obviously thought of this layer as well, and immediately asked, "Yu Ren, shouldn't you be in the first list?" ”

Zhou Yu scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "My father has two recommendation places, and he recommended me and my eldest nephew, I was afraid that I would compete with my eldest nephew and cause jokes, so I had to try my luck on the second list." ”

When Lai Hu'er heard him say this, it seemed to be blameless, he was silent for a while, and then asked him, "Your father is an official from the fourth grade, you came to take the second rank, does the examiner know?" ”

Zhou Yu replied as a matter of course, "Uncle doesn't know, the rules say that the first list is only limited to the children of the family, and it does not say that the children of the family are not allowed to take the second list." ”

Lai Hu'er nodded, indicating that he understood, and waved his hand to Zhou Yu and let him go.

Frowning and continuing to look at the candidates on the field, Lai Hu'er said to Su You and Lai in a serious tone, "The edict of the imperial court has also played a word game, these people are really bold enough." ”

"Aren't they afraid that His Majesty will cut them out because of this?" Lai said indignantly, originally he was a taciturn person, even if he had been with Su You for a long time, his character was more forbearing, but today because he saw too much unfairness, he finally got out of anger.

Lai Hu'er shook his head, "He is the king of a country, and he can't control such details, these rules are made by the ministers below; I originally thought that Duan Wenzhen was an upright person, and it seems that his integrity is also discounted. ”

When Laihu'er was thinking about countermeasures, Wang Shichong hurried over, first reviewed the poor hospitality, and then persuaded Laihu'er to go back to rest first.

Lai Hu'er asked, "Outside of the king, how long will it take for the exam to start?" ”

"The preparation time is a bit slow, it may take half an hour later, not more than an hour at most." Wang Shichong wanted to leave as soon as possible so that he could cheat as he wanted, so he went out just now and deliberately pushed the exam time back.

"So, can you show General Ben the transcript of their last exam?" Lai Hu'er nodded, and for the first time put on his official authority, although it was still a consultative tone, there was no doubt about it.

Wang Shichong had a bad premonition, but he also had reason to believe that it was impossible for Laihu'er to see anything from it, so he had to hand over the report card to Laihu'er.

Laihu'er first found Zhang Dacheng's name, and the results recorded on it were indeed as he said at the time.

Laihu'er stood on the ground and browsed the report card, knowing that there was fraud in it, but he couldn't see anything in it, and his mood was really bad.

Su You frowned when he saw Lai Hu'er, and immediately said, "Father-in-law, son-in-law wants to play a game with these candidates." ”

"Oh?" Lai Hu'er nodded and motioned for Su You to continue.

Su You glanced at Wang Shichong, and immediately smiled, "The little son-in-law also happens to like to bend bows and arrows, and I can't help but feel a little itchy when I see them competing, so I want to try my archery skills with them." The son-in-law's archery skills are extremely sharp, pointing at the enemy's head, but he can burst his eggs is a little worried, afraid that he will embarrass his father-in-law if he is nervous. ”

"Poof" to hear Su You's greasy archery skills
