Chapter 30 Inspecting the Examination Room
Yang Su's carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the "door" of the right Xiaowei military camp, this is the examination room of the B list, as soon as the carriage stopped, the chief examiner Li Gang greeted him with a group of examiners, "Li Gang, the 'waiter' of the Lower Officers and Soldiers' Department, see Mrs. Yang!" ”
Yang Su is the first person in the dynasty, and he is also appointed as Shang Shuling, with a high status, and this martial arts, the highest chief examiner is only a "waiter" of the military department, and the status of the two sides is very different, so Yang Su is appointed as a double list inspector, which has a great deterrent effect.
But at the same time, it also shows that Yang Guang attaches great importance to martial arts, and let the dignified Chu Guogong and Shang Shuling come to inspect the examination room, which shows that Yang Guang is still very worried about what will go wrong with this martial arts.
Yang Su also knew this, although he was weak, he did not complain, but conscientiously did a good job of inspection and supervision.
"Li 'waiter' Lang is exempt, I will inspect the examination room by the will of the Holy Lord, I don't need you to accompany me, I am free to do it myself, you can go and get busy!"
"In this case, although Mrs. Yang patrols at will, if there is anything, you can directly find the deputy chief examiner He Qing, and if you want to go to the first list first, you can leave!"
"Go ahead! I'll make the rounds myself. ”
Li Gang led the examiners to retreat one after another, leaving only the deputy chief examiner He Qing, who was appointed as Langzhong of the military department, in charge of the second list, he stepped forward to salute Yang Su, "Now that the candidates are still preparing, please follow me to rest." ”
Yang Su got out of the carriage, Yang Yuanqing and a "waiter" guard helped Yang Su to a horse, he gave Niuniu a look, Niuniu followed him, and the group rode towards the examination room.
"Mrs. Yang, the B list is one less subject of the art of war than the A list, only the test is to ride 'shooting' and weapons, yesterday's riding 'shooting' has been completed, starting today, three consecutive days to test weapons, knives, spears and their own weapons."
While everyone was walking, they listened to He Langzhong's introduction, and Yang Su asked again: "He Langzhong, is there any standard for the exam?" ”
"Returning to the servant, there is a standard for riding 'shooting'. The three basic horseback riding movements and the whole running are smooth, with a total of four points. Then the foot bow and the riding bow each "shoot" three arrows. A total of six points, "shooting" in the bullseye plus a color. The highest is 10 points. ”
Yang Su nodded. "What about weapons?"
"The test of weapons is mainly evaluated by the examiner, and it is also ten, and it is scored according to the proficiency and maturity and the difficulty of the moves."
Yang Su frowned, "Isn't this the examiner having a lot of random 'sex'?" ”
"This.... There's no way, I don't want to take the essay test, and there are test papers and papers, so we can only take the test like this, and we try to be fair. ”
Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly beside him: "He Yuanjun, in fact, you can let six people score at the same time." Then remove the highest and lowest scores, add up the scores of the other four people, and then average them, so that it is relatively fair. ”
He Langzhong knew Yang Yuanqing and knew that he was not only Yang Su's precious grandson, but also valued by the saint, so he didn't dare to slack off, and said respectfully: "Although General Yang's method is excellent, we are understaffed, only four examiners, and more than 2,000 people have to be tested in three days, so we can only take the exam separately, there is no way." ”
Yang Su looked back and smiled: "Yuanqing, the rules have been set, and it's not easy to change them now, so don't embarrass them anymore." ”
"Thank you Mrs. Yang for understanding the difficulties of the lowly officials."
Yang Su smiled faintly and didn't say anything, at this time, an examiner in the distance shouted: "He Langzhong, please come." ”
He Langzhong hurriedly said to Yang Su: "Go to your humble post and come back immediately." ”
"Go get busy! Let's take a look at the exam room at random. ”
Waiting for He Langzhong to walk away, Yang Su smiled at Yuan Qing: "It's not that they don't have people, it's not that they don't understand your methods, but they have to set the rules a little more lively, so as to facilitate them to carry out artificial '' indulgence, in fact, you only need to look at the rules, and you will understand what is going on." ”
Yang Su took Yang Yuanqing to inspect the examination room, but also with his good intentions, he wants to teach Yuanqing a lot of things, Yuanqing has been in the side for a long time, relatively simple, does not understand the darkness of the court officialdom, Yang Su wants to pass a martial arts exam, so that his grandson can understand some unspoken rules of officialdom.
Niuniu also heard it next to her, and she frowned and said, "Grandfather, isn't it very unfair for them to do this to the candidates?" ”
Yang Su smiled slightly, "There is everything here, but there is no 'fairness'." ”
Yang Yuanqing saw that Niuniu still wanted to say more, so he stopped her, "Niuniu, just follow me, don't talk too much." ”
Niuniu was helpless, so she had to glare at him fiercely, Yang Su smiled and said: "It's okay, Niuniu asked very well, and the question got to the point, but when the examiner is there, don't ask like this, so as not to embarrass everyone." ”
They urged the horses to follow the horse road, the barracks cover an extremely wide area, hundreds of acres, divided into three districts, the south is the barracks area, that is, the current candidates' residences, still "chaos" in a mess, faintly can hear their noise, due east is the examination room, temporarily set up four large tents, in two hours, the examination will be held in three of the big tents at the same time.
The place where they walked was the training area in the north, covering an area of about 100 acres, and it was a wide grassland where they could practice riding and shooting, as well as weapons training, and hundreds of people had already warmed up and trained here.
All kinds of weapons flew in their hands, most of them were spears and broadswords, and they were very skilled in martial arts, Yang Yuanqing looked at them while walking, these hundreds of people basically did not break through, and occasionally there were those who were skilled in martial arts, but they were only equivalent to the later stage of the stagnation period, and they could only barely be regarded as strong in martial arts, but it was almost impossible to become a real fierce general.
At this time, Yang Yuanqing suddenly saw a person, six feet eight tall, tall and fat, standing out among the martial arts practitioners, dancing a pair of watermelon sledgehammers, two sledgehammers weighing sixty pounds each, he danced with a whining sound, quite imposing, surrounded by a circle of people, clapping for him.
Yang Yuanqing laughed and said to Yang Su: "Grandfather, do you recognize the tall fat man who dances the hammer?" ”
Yang Su looked at it for a moment and then smiled: "It seems to be a disciple of my Yang Mansion." ”
Yang Yuanqing smiled: "Let me remind him!" ”
He took off his bow and arrows, and opened his bow to be an arrow, and the strength of the arrow was neither light nor heavy, seventy paces away, and the wolf's tooth arrow 'dang! The ground was shot at the sledgehammer, and the sledgehammer immediately stopped, and everyone turned their heads to look in surprise.
The tall fat man of the dancing hammer was Yang Wei, he was interrupted by Yang Yuanqing's arrow, and looked over here in a daze, suddenly, he shouted, dragging two sledgehammers and rushing over, "Plop!" Kneel in front of Yang Su.
"Grandson Yang Wei, kowtow to grandfather!"
He slammed his head three times, Yang Su also remembered a little, and said with a smile: "You are the fat boy of the Jishan family." ”
"It's me, grandfather, it's me!"
Yang Wei was so excited that he just kowtowed, Yang Yuanqing jumped off the horse, pulled him up, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Why are you here?" ”
Yang Wei scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "There are only two places in the family, the second uncle takes one, and Uncle Ming also has to take one, and it won't be my turn, so I can only try my luck on the second list." ”
Yang Su saw that the relationship between Yuanqing and Yang Wei seemed to be "very" good, he was a little surprised, he knew that his son Jishan had a deep conflict with Yuanqing back then, Yuanqing actually had a good relationship with his son, his heart moved, and there was a trace of imperceptible smile in his eyes, this grandson Yang Wei made him think of a way.
"Huh! Didn't you grow up fighting? Yang Su immediately stepped forward and smiled.
Yang Yuanqing's feelings for the people in Yang's mansion, in addition to the third uncle Xuan's award, there is also this Yang Wei, his timely report made Yang Yuanqing feel a kind of human "nature" kindness, and it is this kindness that makes their grudges and hatreds since childhood exhausted.
"Grandfather, isn't it normal for children to fight when they are young?" Yang Yuanqing was also a little embarrassed.
"Well said!"
Yang Su was in a good mood all of a sudden, and the "gloomy" haze mood of the past two days was swept away, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Yang Wei saw Niuniu wearing a red gauze dress, he also knew, Niuniu was beaten by him when he was a child, he also smiled: "Niuniu, are you my brother and sister now?" ”
Yang Wei's words made Niuniu's face turn red, "Fat Saburo, don't talk nonsense!" Niuniu's face sank, but there was no anger in her eyes, and it was this sentence that made her hatred for Yang Wei since she was a child fade all of a sudden.
Yang Su was in a good mood, and he asked Yang Wei: "Wei'er, you come to take the B list, are you allowed?" ”
"Grandfather, according to the rules, the first list is only limited to the children of the family, and it does not mean that the children of the family are not allowed to take the second list."
Yang Su nodded and said to Yang Yuanqing: "You remember, if the text is not rigorous enough, there will be a leak." ”
"Grandfather, doesn't the Holy One know?"
"He is the king of a country, he can't control this kind of details, these rules are formulated by the ministers below, I thought Li Gang was an upright person, it seems that his integrity is also watery, and he is also a smooth person."
"Too servant, let the servant wait for a long time."
When He Langzhong came back from his errands, he bowed down and said, "Please ask Mrs. Yang to rest with his humble duties!" ”
Yang Su was also a little tired, he looked at the big tent in the distance, and nodded, "Okay!" Let's go rest for a while. ”
Everyone rode their horses towards the big tent, and Yang Wei also followed, at this time Yang Yuanqing remembered something, and he asked Yang Wei in a low voice, "Have you passed the 'shooting' test?" ”
Yang Yuanqing remembered that Pei Xingyan told him that Yang Wei was also practicing archery temporarily, and he was a famous foot general, could he pass the test if he rode "shooting"?
Yang Wei smiled a little proudly: "I inquired and scored nine points!" ”
"How much did you actually score?"
Yang Yuanqing felt that there was something greasy in this, how could a person who practiced archery temporarily score nine points?
Yang Wei sighed in frustration and said: "Actually, I only scored five points in the test, and I gave two thousand hanging money, so it became nine points." ”
Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "Grandfather is here to inspect the examination room, I estimate that when grandfather sees you score nine points, he will definitely let you show him how to ride 'shooting', what should you do?" ”
Yang Wei was so frightened that his face changed, he "shot" six arrows, only one arrow, or luck, if his grandfather really asked him to show riding "shooting", what should he do?
"Yuanqing, what should I do?"
"If I were you, I would take the initiative to admit it, it's better than being found out by my grandfather and then forced to admit it, after all, your attitude is very good, and grandfather likes honest people."
Yang Wei bowed his head and said nothing, making him admit that his two thousand hanging money was not "spent" in vain, which was all his savings in the past few years.
