The main content of the imperial military system was that soldiers and junior military attachés in the army were promoted according to the results of regular examinations obtained. Obtain sufficient qualifications and achievements to participate in the regular martial arts examinations of the empire and obtain the reserve capital of middle and senior officers. In other words, if you take and pass the highest level of the Empire, you can obtain the qualification for the position of military chief in your lifetime, and you can be promoted to a higher position in the lifetime. Under this rule, all soldiers who pass the imperial military examination can obtain the qualifications of staff generals, and soldiers who pass the physical fitness and basic military subjects in the military examination can obtain the qualifications of the generals of the town (guard), and then fight at the next level, and each round of the battle competition can obtain the qualification of a higher level of generals, and so on. The first place will be eligible for the promotion of the Imperial Marshal. Therefore, every time the Imperial Military Examination is held, it is a goal that the Imperial soldiers aspire to. In the early days of the Empire, this system did select many famous generals for the Empire. However, since Emperor Wen, in order to promote the crown prince at that time, Emperor Wen and some shameless civil and military officials in the court changed some regulations of Wuju without authorization, which led to the corruption and breeding of Wuju later, so that Wuju gradually became a place where some officials with real power in the court and local military chiefs elected their relatives and cronies. As a result, in the past 100 years, the people who have been elected are basically mediocre people, and even more so than some people with corrupt conduct and neurological idiots have been promoted to frontier officials through the channel of martial arts. Twenty-seven years ago, the defeat of Sanguan and the trapping of the first emperor in Jinju are examples of escape.

"Alas...... Who made these rules, I have been bored to death for the past few days, and I didn't participate in it if I knew it, it's boring, it's boring. Qi Feng lay on the table and hummed boringly.

"Who decides? Isn't it your ancestor? Cheng Cheng glanced back at him, and continued to admire the oil painting hanging in the study with the princess, which showed the royal palace of Spain. Is it really painted? It feels like it's real, and I really want to live here. Cheng Cheng sighed.

"Alas...... Ancestors, why did you only set the validity period of this rule for a hundred years, and now it has changed beyond recognition. Qi Feng continued to lie on the table and lamented.

"Huh...... This is an oil painting, in the early years, there were Western painters who came into the palace to paint a portrait of the emperor, this oil painting is not as casual and fast as our ink painting, it is cumbersome to paint, just the oil paint color is wasted, a painting is impossible without ten days and half a month. At that time, my father was also tossed miserably, and at least one or two hours a day sat on the throne and couldn't move to do anything to the painter. The princess covered her mouth and smiled.

"What's Maut?" Cheng asked.

"It's just to paint it for others, to look like it." Qi Feng said boredly in the back.

"My cousin is right." The princess smiled, "This Westerner has a kind of craftsman's spirit, and he is very careful and serious in everything he does, and this painting is also vivid and realistic." At that time, I was still young, and one day I ran to my father's study to steal a book, but as soon as I entered the room, I was startled, thinking that my father's early dynasty had come back early. In the end, I found out that it was just a portrait of my father, hehe......"

The princess suddenly stopped smiling when she looked at the oil painting, her face became heavy, and she muttered to herself: "Terrible craftsmanship, I'm afraid we have lagged behind them a lot in the past hundred years." Whenever I saw the powerful ships guarding the Western merchant ships at the upper river wharf, I deeply realized the teacher's eagerness for change. ”

Listening to the princess's muttering, the giggling Cheng Cheng also became solemn. The two fell silent.

"In the early years, Master Xuanzang went to the West to retrieve the true scriptures in order to obtain the truth, why don't we send people to the West again to learn their skills now?" Qi Feng said faintly behind them.

"Master Xuanzang?" Cheng Cheng and the princess looked back in surprise and asked, "Who is he?" ”

"Oh...... Hehe, that's the person in the Dongying myth and story I heard when I was a child, hehe......" Qi Feng played a round for himself.

"My cousin is right, it's time for us to put down our shelves and learn from the Western barbarians." The princess looked back at the painting and pondered.

Cheng Cheng returned to the table and pulled Qi Feng's hand away, and took out the form of the martial arts test arrangement from under him. "A total of 398 people have passed the literary examination, why only 108 people have participated in the martial arts selection assessment, really, are those 290 people here to play soy sauce?" She said dissatisfied.

"Huh...... After all, there are not many all-rounders in civil and military affairs. The princess smiled and went to the table and sat down.

"I don't think so." Qi Feng raised his head and looked at his delicate face intently.

"Don't stare at me like this." She pushed Qi Feng's face aside with a dissatisfied handful.

"Oh, what does my cousin think?" The princess looked at Qi Feng with a smile and asked.

"Do you want me to say it? Imperial sister. Qi Feng smiled at the princess. I'm afraid that more than 200 people were sent away. ”

The princess's face turned serious, "You know? ”

"Hmph...... This year's martial arts is not just a martial arts. Qi Feng said with a smile in his words.

"What about you...... Do you have that plan? The princess asked in a disappointed mood.

Hearing the princess's words, Cheng Cheng's heart suddenly became cold, as if someone had taken away her most precious thing, very uncomfortable and lost. She looked at Qi Feng and the princess with resentment.

"No, no, I said I was just bored, here to have fun." Qi Feng lazily leaned back on the back of the chair and said with a firm smile. "Maybe, I won't play the first game."

Hearing Qi Feng's firm reply, Cheng Cheng exhaled a little happily, but soon she fell into the worry of the princess again.

"But you can rest assured, those people, I will not give them the slightest chance. Unless it's what you want......" Qi Feng smiled coldly.

"Thank you, cousin." The princess smiled, and so did Chengcheng.

"Dengzi, thanks to the blessing of your ancestors, you go directly to the top eight, your life is really good." Cheng Cheng regained his bright smile and made a joke about the prince again.

"Don't say that, it's okay, it's my cousin's ancestor who changed the rules." Qi Feng stretched forward and approached his neck, looked at Cheng Cheng and said with his teeth bared.

"Don't talk so close to me." Cheng Cheng pretended to be annoyed and pushed Qi Feng's face away close to him.

"Hehe......" the princess smiled.

"What makes you so happy?" The monk smiled and led Li Mu into the study, followed by a strange burly young man.

"How did you get the seat to watch the martial arts test?" Qi Feng said with a smile.
