Chapter 388: The First Imperial Examination
During the period when Ye Xingchen was refining weapons and going out to cross the robbery, Mr. Wang, Zhuge Xuan and others were busy with the affairs of the six counties, and they needed to train soldiers on the one hand, and they needed to deal with political affairs on the other hand, and they also had to beware of the spies of the rest of the forces from mixing in.
Of course, in the past month, the most important thing is the imperial examination.
Mr. Wang publicized the imperial examination in the six counties and even other counties of the Xuan Dynasty, attracting the attention and interest of countless warriors.
There is no imperial examination in the land of Taixu, and the officials of the five major dynasties are all from the major families, and ordinary warriors who want to enter the court are as difficult as ascending to the sky, so they can only take refuge in the big family and become a staff member.
Therefore, after the news of the imperial examination in the six counties spread, it caused a shock.
Immediately, countless warriors came from all over the country to sign up, and even from other counties, some warriors who were not born well, also went to the six counties, hoping to show their talents with the help of the imperial examination.
The imperial examinations held in the six counties are divided into civil examinations and martial examinations.
Wenju does not test the cultivation of martial artists, but the policies and methods of governing the country and handling political affairs.
Martial arts is a test of the martial artist's cultivation, combat effectiveness, army management, art of war and other aspects.
On the eighth day of October, today is the day when the imperial examinations in the six counties begin.
At this moment, examination rooms have been set up in the six counties and counties, and countless warriors have entered to participate in the imperial examination.
Yunwu County, in the Wenju examination room.
"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely pass the exam. "A young man in his twenties, dressed in very old clothes and washed white, clenched his palms curled up in his cuffs.
The exam paper was sent out, and there was only one question on it, explaining how the six counties were governed.
The young man looked at the scroll, thought about it, and wrote it directly without a draft.
After an hour, the young man stopped, moved his somewhat tired wrist, looked at the paper on the table, carefully examined it again, and then handed it to the examiner.
In order to be fair and just, he also sent a large army to guard the examination room of the six counties, and when the test papers were collected, all of them were sealed, and then sent to Taihu City for him to read the papers in person.
Mr. Wang is in charge of Wenju, while Zhuge Xuan is in charge of Wuju.
Wenju only has test papers, and martial arts not only need to be compared, but also need to be examined, and the art of war, military management, etc., is even more rigorous and complex than Wenju.
In the City Lord's Mansion, inside the main hall, Mr. Wang sat at the desk and also reviewed the examination papers.
His spiritual cultivation is not weak, an exam paper, he glanced at it, read the whole content, and then wrote the grade with a red pen and put it aside.
"Well, this exam paper ......" Mr. Wang picked up an exam paper, his spirit swept over, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
On the other side, Zhuge Xuan inspected the martial arts situation in Qingming County.
On the school field of the martial arts competition, many martial artists sat on the outermost seats and watched the competition between the two martial artists in the central ring.
One of the warriors, burly, was holding a spear, and the spear was waved, and the momentum was unstoppable, and he had an invincible momentum.
"Good, good ......"
The warrior in the seat, seeing the strength of that warrior, cheered loudly, and the atmosphere was warm.
Not far away, Zhuge Xuan, who was staring at the school, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he said in his heart: "This person is brave and fierce, and he can actually fight and kill the law realm with his true destiny." ”
That person's leapfrogging battle, not to surpass others in terms of his own true qi, but his momentum, that kind of bravery, fortitude, indomitable, courageous momentum, which many people, even some geniuses do not have, and his kind of momentum, can greatly inspire the warriors, in the battlefield, is definitely a brave general who charges into battle and condenses morale.
"Wuju harvested this person, it's enough. Zhuge Xuan opened the palm roster, and his eyes fell on a name: "Wang Tianmeng." ”
He picked up the red pen and ticked it lightly.
......
In Yunwu County, in a small mountain village, a woman coughed twice, her face was pale, she was in a very bad state, and she was obviously sick.
"Mother, just leave these things to me, you are sick, rest in the house!" a young man in shabby clothes hurriedly walked out of the house, took the bucket from the woman's hand, and said.
The woman smiled kindly and said, "Mother is fine, you can go to study!"
The young man said: "Mother, I went to participate in the imperial examination a few days ago, and I will definitely be able to pass the examination, as long as I pass the examination, I can become an official, and then I will let my mother live a good life." ”
The woman smiled, although she knew in her heart that her child was talented, but the bloodline level was too weak, and the martial arts cultivation was very low, even if she went to participate in the imperial examination, how could she pass the examination.
"Tang Xu, you still want to be the top student in high school, don't daydream, hurry up and pay back the money you owe to my family today. At this moment, a young man with a proud face, surrounded by many servants, walked in.
Tang Xu was silent, walked into the room, took out a bag, handed it to the arrogant young man, and said, "The money is back to you, don't leave quickly." ”
The arrogant young man swept the money bag in his hand, threw it to his servants, and said with a smile: "There are only thirty gold coins in the money bag, and there are still thirty pieces missing. ”
Tang Xu turned around and said angrily: "I will lend you a total of thirty gold coins, why is there still thirty pieces missing?"
The arrogant young man sneered: "Don't you want money for interest?"
"I've already paid the interest before. Tang Xu said.
"It was before, and now there are still thirty gold coins left, if you don't pay it back, then sign and pledge it, and sell yourself!" said the arrogant young man.
"You have deceived people too much. Tang Xu said.
"What's wrong with bullying you, does anyone dare to care about me?" the proud young man laughed.
The servants beside him laughed too.
"Who is Tang Xu?" At this moment, a voice sounded outside.
"I am. Tang Xu said.
Then, I saw a group of soldiers in armor walking in from outside, came to Tang Xu, and said, "Tang Gongzi, you are the top student in high school, and your lord ordered us to invite you to Taihu City." ”
"High School Champion ......"
The arrogant young man was stunned, with a look of disbelief, and suddenly shouted: "Tang Xu, don't think that you can scare me by finding a few people and playing the role of soldiers, I don't believe it." ”
"Who are you?" The soldier who was the leader, his eyes were sharp, they were all people who had participated in the battlefield, they had experienced the baptism of iron and blood, not to mention that the arrogant young man's cultivation was not strong, even if he was a true life realm martial artist, he might not be able to look directly at his eyes.
"I, I'm ......" The proud young man was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
Tang Xu suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "This military master, I want my mother to go to Taihu City with me, I don't know if I can ...... it."
The soldier hurriedly saluted and said with a smile: "Tang Gongzi is the champion named by Lord Wang himself, saluting us, tormenting us, Gongzi's mother is filial piety, of course we can go to Taihu City together." ”
"Mother, I'm in high school, let's pack up and go to Taihu City, when we get to Taihu City, I'll ask the best Danshi to treat you. Tang Xu said.
Taihu City, in the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Xingchen looked at the list of martial arts and Wenju in his hand, and said: "Wenju champion, Tang Xu, martial arts champion, Wang Tianmeng." ”
