The saint of Yan Tang and his ministers listened carefully and watched the strategy of this Demon Wolf Celestial Star, even if there were a few doubts, but after careful consideration, they found that their thoughts were not as good as what this young Far Eastern Marquis had planned.

"After the twenty-four seeded players join, there will be thirty-two and four in the knight group to thirty-six, this number is not good to determine the top eight, then let the thirty-two promotions be eliminated in two rounds, and the remaining eight, this is the time for the four seeded knights to join, there are still twelve undefeated at the moment, and four more need to be selected from the loser group, a total of sixteen lottery to duel the knights quarterfinals"

The rules are getting more and more complicated, but everyone listens to them with relish.

"The samurai group is still the same, ninety-six out of one hundred and ninety-two, forty-eight out of ninety-six, and at this moment twelve seeded samurai join, twenty-four are selected from the loser's bracket, a total of sixty-four, and thirty-two are selected to enter the finals."

"The same is true for the Sorcerer Division, where 32 out of 64 duels and 8 seeds plus 8 losers make a total of 48 duels to make 24 Sorcerers in the finals."

"In this way, a total of fifty-six martial artists entered the finals, and the finals will be regardless of profession, because they are all strong" Dugu Xinci gave a far-fetched explanation, and then looked at everyone with his arms crossed.

"At this stage, there is no need to divide professions," Wei Yixiao, the president of the Warlock Association, nodded, after so many competitions, only the strong can stand out.

General Cheng Boxian, vice president of the Knight Association, and Qiu Wu, president of the Samurai Association, also nodded.

"Okay, let's talk about this final, the first round of the game only needs forty-eight people to face off, and eight people have byes" Dugu Xinci said with a smile.

"Eight byes?" The crowd was puzzled.

"This is the will of heaven, whoever has good luck can directly advance to the top 32, luck can also be a factor in the decisive victory on the battlefield" Dugu Xinci explained, everyone was speechless.

"Then there are thirty-two people divided into eight groups, each group of four people put the game together, three games per person, count points, win one game and two points, the loser has no points, the two with the best results will advance, get the top sixteen, this top sixteen is the real strong, and then draw lots to face off the top eight, congratulations, the strongest eight Junyan in the empire has come out"

Everyone pondered for a while, and some understood, this top eight from the thirty-two people also need four competitions, all of them are masters of the same level, maybe the magician meets the knight, the warrior meets the knight, how cruel the fight of different professions is, and finally wins the eight, the strongest eight horses in the empire deserve it.

"When it comes to the quarterfinals, the strength is almost the same, and at this moment it is necessary to add another project, that is, to test other talents, eight people are divided into teams, each person is selected from the eliminators, and then every four teams are divided into two districts for melee"

"This stage is also counted as points, each team also needs to play three games, and every two teams are divided into three games, one is a battle between captains, one is a four-person team competition, an individual competition, the winner of the captain's game is two points, the winner of the team competition is three points, the captain of the individual competition does not need to play, the winner of the victory and defeat is counted as points, the two teams draw each score 0 points, and the one who can lead the group with the highest points after three battles is the first place in the upper and lower districts, and the two leaders are the strongest, that is, the final champion and runner-up."

Dugu Xinci then wrote the decisive battle against the top of the Forbidden City and stopped writing.

Everyone was dazed, looking at the battle chart on the paper, thinking about it.

"Is there too much competition for the championship and runner-up?" The sage first asks questions.

"How much? Not much, why not just drag it out a little longer? ”

"Yes, this time is also a problem, do the saints need to participate in the final finals?" Zhang Shuoxiang asked.

"I naturally want to participate, but I also need to go to Mount Tai, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to go once and for four or five months."

"It's not April yet, and the saint may come back on September 15 and the Mid-Autumn Festival? Then the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City"

"Why does the Marquis of Far East keep mentioning this top of the Forbidden City?" Zhang Jiazhen was very puzzled.

"Oh, I just think it's a bit imposing, why don't you arrange this decisive battle in front of Hanyuan Palace? Where is the big place, how about all the civil and military officials come to watch the battle? ”

"The decisive battle in front of Hanyuan Palace, it can be called the top of the Forbidden City, yes, then return to Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival on September 15" The sage also quickly decided.

"There are tens of thousands of martial arts competitions in this martial arts, right?" The Hubu Shangshu Wang Qiu on the side silently calculated.

"Give the martial artists more opportunities to temper," Dugu Xinci explained irresponsibly.

"Then there are nearly five or six months of martial arts competitions every year, how can they still have time to practice?" Doubts were raised.

"Didn't you say that there are martial arts every year? Isn't it okay to hold it every three or four years? "Dugu Xinci is free to send it away.

"Every three or four years? Not bad, huh? Can the same be done? "Song Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, drew inferences from one another, and this annual scientific examination is also tiring.

"The annual imperial examination has been changed to once every four years? Will those scholars who are bent on preparing for the scientific expedition be discouraged? Zhang Jiazhen asked another question.

"Naturally, there is an urgent need to increase the number of students once every four years, so that the functions of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites can be reduced, and the scholars can also be given a time to devote themselves to studying," Zhang said, and Xianggong also agreed to change the time.

"This matter still needs to be discussed again, and the current is to first determine the rules of this year's martial arts" Song Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, still thinks that he is the prime minister?

Everyone pondered it, and it was also reasonable, Wenju is still in October? It's still early.

"Okay, there are a few questions, one is the cost, the second is the venue, the third is the personnel, the fourth is the security, and the fifth is the reward" Dugu Xinci asked quietly.

The crowd was silent again.

"Sage, you don't even have a strategy for this, do you?" Dugu Xinci was surprised.

"What about so-and-so?" Zhang Jiazhen defended the saint.

"Okay then, one by one? Who's going to pay for it? The Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Soldiers, or the Ministry of Households? It can't be from the criminal department, right? ”

"Hehe," the saint was speechless.

"Far Eastern Hou still missed one?" Song Jing said embarrassedly.

"Which one? It can't be Jingzhao Mansion, right? "Dugu Xinci feels a little bad.

"Chang'an County has refused to host this martial arts," Yin Wang Zhisu, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, finally had a chance to speak.

"Haha, Yao Yi County Commander has backbone, but it's not worth bullying a certain person to rest Mu these days?" Dugu Xinci sneered.

Everyone also sneered in their hearts, as if you were on duty for the county order of 10,000 years of county?

"This venue, there is a teaching field in Anshanfang, which is the place of previous martial arts, and there are only a few Jinwuwei schools in Chang'an County, and most of the schools of the Sixteen Wei are in Wannian County, right?" The sage avoids money and does not talk about it.

"Sage, it's getting late, do you want to wait until tomorrow to discuss it?" Dugu Xinci is helpless, look at the sky, the drizzle outside is as dense as his heart, damp and gloomy.

"It's just past Shenshi?" The sage looked at the carving, this is the royal timekeeping instrument specially made by Qin Tianjian.

"Still counting with a water leak? It's accurate to use fine sand," Dugu Xinci said casually.

"Far Eastern Hou Shenren, such accurate, just and fair competition rules are really gods?" At this moment, Du Xian, the most serious new Huangmen right attendant, who studied Dugu Xinci's suggestion, shouted loudly.

Everyone was stunned, this is already discussing the issue of the venue of the funders, and this person is still referring to the schedule of those competitions?

To be honest, these ministers don't attach much importance to this rule, as Dugu Xinci said, how can there be any absolute fairness and justice? If you can hold the martial arts completely, and finally select a few hundred of them, what kind of royal fifty-six, the strongest eight junjie, and the top of the Forbidden City? What's the use of bells and whistles?

"Far East Hou's schedule is really flawless?" The white-bearded, red-faced Hedong Han Du Xian Xianggong is still sighing.

Dugu Xinci was too lazy to talk, and the ministers didn't know why, so the sage helplessly asked, "Can Du Xianggong see what the problem is?" ”

"I didn't see anything wrong, but I just saw the Tao?"

"What do you see?" The sage continued to ask.

"It's not a doorway, it's a way that conforms to the way of heaven and earth," Du Xian smiled.

Everyone suddenly felt bad, what kind of rhythm is this? A schedule full of bells and whistles is actually in line with heaven?

"Not to mention anything else, the schedule of Far Eastern Hou is designed to be tight, only the number of people who are promoted each time is tight and tight, five hundred and ninety-six is a good number, one more person or dozens of people will not produce the final champion and runner-up in an orderly manner"

"Thirty-two knights, one hundred and ninety-two warriors, and sixty-four magicians, these numbers are also unchangeable, wonderful, wonderful," Du Xian continued to admire.

Well, what you said was wonderful, and everyone did not stop it, allowing the new prime minister to continue to express his admiration for the Marquis of the Far East.

"Far Eastern Hou's schedule is the fairest way to discover talents, first of all, the group stage, no matter how grouped, the front is full to include all talents, this is human; The then ring competition ensures that there are no fish that slip through the net, and it tests people's ability to know themselves and their opponents, which is also a geographical advantage; There is also a lot of effort to advance to the loser's group later, and the nodes selected are just right, and the best thing is which bye eight people, it is really timely; The battlefield has three benefits, the time and place are favorable, and they are all exquisite, so isn't it in line with the way of the schedule? ”

"As for the final quarterfinals, a suggestion can let them draw lots to choose their teammates, so that it can be seen that Shuai Cai's integration of subordinates in the shortest possible time is really a stroke of genius; Far Eastern Hou's schedule is impeccable, even if someone favoritism or fraud, they can only pass one round, and each round is a talent for martial arts. ”

Still? Everyone was very disdainful in their hearts, and then Song Jing and the sage also walked to the bookcase again to look at the schedule, and it seemed that they were sighing for a long time.

"This schedule is perfect" Song Jingshang nodded, his face expressionless.

"What's the use of being perfect? There is no money to talk about, a certain one has taken a step first, a certain has only entered Chang'an today, and the palace of Liaoyang County has not yet entered? After Dugu Xinci finished speaking, he really arched his hand, raised his leg and left.

Du Xian, who is not familiar with the temperament of this Far Eastern Marquis, and Wang Zhifu Yin Kou were dumbfounded, this is also too arrogant, right?

What kind of place is this Xuanzheng Palace? The three major halls of Daming Palace, the front hall contains the Yuan Palace, which is the place of the ceremony, and it is only used during the festival period, which is the previous dynasty.

The apse Zichen Hall is the inner court, the sage deals with the affairs of the inner court, and sometimes calls a few powerful ministers to discuss matters, most of the time the queen is there, and tens of thousands of people in the inner court are also controlled by the inner court.

This Xuanzheng Hall is the Chinese Dynasty, so what is it mainly used for?

One is to look at the court, the sage Yu Xuanzheng Hall to receive the court, that is, the fifteenth day of the first month of the saint will be here to discuss with the ministers, of course, the participation is only the permanent officials, that is, the civil officials above the five grades and the two provinces to worship the officials, supervise the imperial history, the staff of the foreign Lang, the doctor of Taichang, the day of the ginseng, the number of the permanent counselor.

The second is the Chang Dynasty, now the sage has set up the Chang Dynasty in the Xingqing Palace Qin Government Affairs Building, but the Chang Dynasty convened by the Prime Minister is in the Xuanzheng Palace, which is once every two days, or in the event of a major emergency, the convener will also discuss here.

Third, the ceremonies and ceremonies of the saints bowing are mostly held in the Xuanzheng Hall

Fourth, the saints often conduct temple examinations in the Xuanzheng Palace

The fifth is to read the season, the gift of reading the season was founded in the Wei and Jin dynasties, that is, the five solar terms of the beginning of spring, the beginning of summer, the great heat, the beginning of autumn and the beginning of winter every year, must be read in front of the emperor. On the day of the festival, the saint ascends to the throne and wears the clothes corresponding to the solar terms. Shang Shu Ling is in his place, and Shang Shu Sangong holds the season and reads it.

Sixth, the ministers of the General Assembly on May 1 every year

The seventh is to meet with the envoys of Fanbang, in addition to the great court meeting to meet all the envoys of Fanbang in Beijing, and half of the Thai envoys are here on weekdays.

It can be said that this Xuanzheng Hall is the most used council hall in Chang'an. Where is the majesty of the nation? Where is the face of the saint? Can the magnanimity of the ministers and ministers be tolerated?

"Wait a minute, the queen said that I would invite you and the little phoenix to have dinner today, and I will go with a certain person" The saint was not annoyed, but shouted loudly.

"Where? Is that a certain place in the inner palace that can be entered casually? "Dugu Xinci is a little puzzled, the queen has a banquet? It won't be a Hongmen feast, right?

"What so much nonsense? In the Lin De Palace, the Zhigongju who will wait for this martial arts will also go, which can be regarded as the celebration banquet for the establishment of the preparatory committee, which is called the preparatory committee, right? Preparing for a delegation meeting? It's awkward," the saint muttered.

"Far East Hou wait a little, right? If the Marquis of Far East misses the Phoenix Princess, you can go to the Lin De Hall to wait first," Zhang said that the Xianggong was also smiling.

"They came back together, and they have only been separated for an hour or two, and they miss it so soon?" The saint also made fun of it.

"Hey, you can know that you have entered a certain lovesick door, only to know that lovesickness is bitter, long-term lovesickness is long-term memory, and short-term lovesickness is infinite." Dugu Xinci stopped and sighed.

"A certain proposal for this martial arts move will be arranged according to this schedule," Song Jing Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites didn't bother to pay attention to this lazy and talented Far Eastern Hou Hu Xu, and proposed directly.

"What about the cost? How much will it cost to arrange this way? More than 10,000 competitions? How many people are required to adjudicate regulatory records? What should I do if I am injured or injured? Zhang Jiazhen began to ask.

"The cost is solved by Jingzhao Mansion, and the venue can also use the school field of the Sixteen Guards, and the personnel naturally have the people of the Ministry of Etiquette, the Ministry of Soldiers, and the Sixteen Guards to organize the ruling, and the professors of the five colleges can also be invited to supervise, and if the casualties are killed, they can be given a bereavement pension, and they can sign a life and death certificate before going to the ring, of course, the referee can judge at any time, if the gap between the two sides is too large, they can stop the competition in time" Zhang said that Xianggong began to refute.

"Jingzhao Mansion has no silver", Jingzhao Mansion Yin Wang Zhi was concise and to the point.

"It's not a problem, there is no silver in Jingzhao Mansion, and there is one in Wannian County" Song Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Hui, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, said in unison.

So everyone turned their eyes to the Wannian County Commander Dugu Xinci, who was shrunk to the side and closed his eyes to recuperate, and they were all eager.

"Ahem, do you know how much money the imperial court will have to spend according to this schedule? How much money does each martial arts cost? Dugu Xinci sneered.

On this day, the court thought about Li Mu, and he suppressed the old soup in his book.

Planning is a long-term strategy, and whipping must also exhaust dogs and sheep.
