The martial arts examination is mainly the righteousness of Confucius and Mencius, that is, to let the future generals know that it doesn't matter if the war is good or not, and the main position must be correct.

The art of war seems to be very important, but this thing is not in the score, because the examiners do not have a good understanding of the art of war, and they prefer to use the art of war such as "The Art of War" as a political tool rather than use it on the battlefield. Whoever made the main examination of the martial arts was the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. The two yamen did not have a single general.

Another main examination department, the front division of the palace, still has no sense of existence.

The rule that whoever makes a military general no matter how powerful he is can only be a deputy general is already ingrained in the Great Song Dynasty.

The only few generals who broke the rules ended badly.

For example: Di Qing.

The officials who come to inspect by the Privy Council will not be high-ranking officials such as signing the Privy Council, but petty officials of relatively low rank. But because he came from a powerful yamen, he was used to having a big temper with the outside world, and he didn't care about what Li Yun said: he played mahjong with the emperor.

Li Yun said this, is it possible to bring in the emperor as a witness?

This made the Xie brothers very nervous, they secretly pulled Li Yun behind them, and said in a low voice: "Li Yun, we are here to participate in the martial arts, not to make trouble." ”

The military officials on the side had no intention of opening their mouths at all. In the Great Song Dynasty, perhaps the sense of existence of the military department was the lowest among the six Cao departments. The Ministry of Rites can also preside over the examination of the provincial examination, and there is also the preparation of the sacrifice, which is very important; Not to mention the officials, the officials are evaluated, and the officials who go out of Beijing have to stammer; Since the household department took away most of the functions and powers of the three envoys, it seems to have become the head of the six departments, and has the capital to compete with the officials; The Criminal Department and the Ministry of Industry are at least in charge of a large number of affairs, but the Ministry of War is the only one.

The training army was controlled by the infantry commander and the cavalry commander in front of the palace, and the chief general and deputy general were dispatched, which were supervised by the Privy Council. Even to start a war, to designate a strategic plan, they are not qualified.

Even the production of ordnance, most of them were divided by the Ministry of Industry and the Salt and Iron Division.

The officials of the military department completely regarded themselves as a burden to accompany the prince to study. The benefits are not in the turn, and the back pot must not be hit.

Li Yun saw that the other party didn't eat oil and salt, and said angrily: "Believe it or not, I turned around and went back to Taixue, and be a classmate in your family's Xiaoyanei?" ”

It's fake to be a classmate, but it's definitely a scourge.

The other party was dumbfounded, you are a disciple of Sumen, can you have a face?

The other party will not doubt Li Yun's motives. Looking at his brother Li Kui, you can know who the old Li family is.

On the contrary, he firmly believed that Li Yun would definitely bully his baby son to death in Taixue.

As for whether Li Yun can go to school too much, he is too capable. As far as Li Kui's character is concerned, he is regarded as one of the benefits of civil officials, is it difficult to send his younger brother to Taixue?

It's not that hard.

As for wasting a place, Li Kui's son doesn't have a shadow yet, can he care?

The dignified Privy Councillor, well, this official is really not big, if Li Kui is present, he can bully him to death, and he will not dare to be angry. As for why he made things difficult for Li Yun, the main reason was that Li Qingchen, the privy envoy of the big guy, was very unkind to see Su Men, and bullied Li Yun to brush a wave of presence in front of the big guy, why not do it?

However, at this time, the other party also figured out that the character of the Li family is really not a bag that can be bullied casually.

The opponent will also fight back and even hit him in the sore spot.

He now hopes that Li Yun can pass the martial arts and even win the identity of the martial champion, is the reason? It's very simple, as long as Li Yun becomes a military attaché, isn't he casually rubbed by the Privy Council?

"Li Yun, this official wishes you a successful start."

Seeing that the other party was smiling or not, with coldness and even threat in his enthusiasm, Li Yun snorted coldly: "Let's see!" ”

He doesn't care about offending a petty official of the Privy Council, who can he offend worse and desperate than offending Li Kui? He even offended Li Kui, and with this bowl of wine at the bottom, he was not afraid of these small actions of officialdom at all.

On the contrary, the Xie brothers nervously followed behind Li Yun and entered the examination room.

There was no too strict search, and even the exams were in an open courtyard, unlike the provincial exams, where there was an exam booth per person, for fear that someone would cheat.

"Analects" and "Mencius", these two books are the foundation of the foundation of the reader, especially the martial arts examination is still simple, and the results are not recorded, Li Yun and others have become talented people one by one, and the pen looks like a genius.

Then the Art of War was the same.

On the first day, the highlight of the content of the written test is still the strategy: trapped soldiers in border troubles, for generals, what to do?

Write casually, for the provincial palace examination, the extremely important policy is still not counted in the martial arts.

Li Yun didn't even type the draft, and directly talked nonsense on the test paper. This kind of article, unless it is the champion, whether it is the examiner, or the emperor who finally ordered the champion of martial arts, will not read it. Even if it is the champion, as long as the position is correct, there will be no big problem.

The martial arts exam gave Li Yun a magical feeling.

I knew that I was so comfortable, why did I stupidly follow Li Kui to take the provincial exam?

Until now, Li Yun has the feeling of being a famous disciple of his own family, and he can't help but feel fluttering when he writes for thousands of miles.

On the first day, the exam was successfully completed.

On the second day, the examination room moved to the north school field, which is also the training ground and martial arts field of the four forbidden armies of the Great Song Dynasty Gongwei Beijing, and the military training ground that can accommodate tens of thousands of people at most. The school yard is very large, and there are barracks, granaries, and warehouses. On the stage, Han Deqin appeared in front of the crowd. Lang said: "Today's assessment, weapons, mounted archery." ”

"Each mover chooses by himself, the examiner enters it, the entry is correct, and the assessment is conducted!"

"Iron and gold slashing knife."

"You are a melon baby, the Pu knife is the Pu knife, and what kind of iron cutting gold knife, the standard Pu knife used for the assessment, weighs 15 pounds, and your own weapons can't be used. Next. ”

"Bright silver gun."

"Iron gun, go get it. There are two kinds of assessments, and there are spear heads for martial arts moves, and there is no gun head for trial moves, so don't choose the wrong one. ”

"Purple Gold Eight-Sided Hammer."

"A pair of hammers, choose the one you like, don't choose the big one. Although a big hammer is imposing, it may not be right for you. Next. ”

……

Most of the candidates who can participate in the martial arts are not short of money at home. Many of them are behind the gate, and they have a weapon that makes them very proud, and they lose the weapon they are good at, and they feel that the force value has dropped by half immediately. This kind of move is not bad, but it is more of a move that is fully equipped with armor, war horses, bows and arrows, and when he heard this bad news, the arrogance on his face suddenly collapsed.

Otherwise, the riding skills are really desperate without the cooperation of horses.

The only weapon you can bring yourself with is the bow.

However, it must be more than the tensile force of the standard half-stone bow, and there are no other requirements.

In fact, the bow and arrow have been almost broken by the Song people, and the imperial court intends to promote the bow and arrow as a national training. Even scholars and scholars need to practice bows and arrows, and there are courses in the academy that need to be studied. The bow societies in various places are almost all over the county-level administrative districts of the Great Song Dynasty. The number of private bows is huge.

Only the crossbow is a weapon that is forbidden by the people, and it cannot enter the people.

The people present were in mourning, but Han Deqin, the chief examiner of the armed forces, didn't care about the reactions of these movers at all. Is there a shortage of generals in the Great Song Dynasty?

There is no shortage.

Since there is no shortage, one more is not too much, and one less is not less.

Wuju had no meaning at all for the Great Song Dynasty. It's just a symbolic meaning, giving a warrior from an ordinary background a chance to be promoted, that's all.

The bow and arrow competition was the first to take place.

This is also in the order of previous years.

"Ten arrows on target, pass."

"Nine arrows on target, TBD."

"Eight arrows on target, elimination."

"Adults, give students a chance, give students a chance!"

"Pull it out!"

……

The 30-meter target is very simple for Li Yun, and they are all fixed targets, not even mobile targets. After shooting half a pot of arrows, he was promoted. The same is true for thousands of solutions.

It's just that when it comes to riding, it's a bit of a hassle.

Li Yunxuan's horse was very restless, but fortunately, he took out a tender radish from his arms, and the greedy war horse stared at the cute eyes, as if he was about to laugh. After that, the horses and horses galloped wildly, and they were extremely smooth. Some of them saw that Li Yun still had such a small move, and they immediately regretted it, knowing that they had also prepared some good food to bribe the war horse.

After two rounds, the last round of the next day was a move.

Li Yun chose the Pu knife, Xie Qian was an iron gun, and Xie Qian was a hammer.

At this time, there were already people who had been eliminated one after another in the examination room, and they left the examination room in despair. In the end, there are more than 100 people who enter the competition.

Although martial arts is not a good way out, this is relative to the provincial palace test. Everyone wants to be a Wen Jinshi, so naturally they don't look down on Wu Jinshi. But the question is, if you can take the Chinese Advancement Exam, who will come to the martial arts examination room? Even martial arts were brutally eliminated, and there were not many options for them.

Either become a country landlord or become a businessman.

Li Yun weighed the ironwood knife in his hand, and the weight was about half lighter than the Pu knife he was good at using. But for him, there are light moves, and there is a powerful aura.

"Li Yun, the son of Yishui County, Yizhou, Jingdong East Road, appeared."

Li Yun hugged his fists and said to Han Deqin on the stage: "My lord." ”

Han Deqin nodded, and said hello: "Begin." ”

The moment the long knife was in his hand, Li Yun seemed to have the momentum of his whole person converged, like a stone sculpture, and the surroundings were solidified. The starting moves are slow, slow as a beginner.

One board and one eye are extremely serious.

Hey hey –

Some people laughed, thinking that Li Yun's level could get here, and it was time to go home.

But Han Deqin didn't look at it that way, he frowned slightly, and felt that the aura around Li Yun had a feeling of sluggishness. This kind of thinking made him think of a martial artist's realm, artistic conception. Han Deqin was also frightened by his ridiculous thoughts, and then felt that it was impossible, and secretly shook his head.

But then, Li Yun's movements became faster and faster, swept like a storm, and for a while, it seemed that even among thousands of troops, it gradually calmed down again.

Han Deqin was really frightened, how old is Li Yun, and he has already touched this threshold?

Li Yun is so strong, so what level of master should Li Kui be? When Han Deqin saw Li Kui for the first time, he also told the emperor that he and Li Kui should fight against five or five, and now what makes him frightened is that he and Li Yun are also five or five. But Li Yun has been bullied by Li Kui to death, and he doesn't even have the heart to resist.

Li Yun's realm seemed to be on par with him. But the question is, I only touched this threshold in my thirties, and how old is Li Yuncai? Doesn't it mean that Li Yun will be a battlefield general in the future?

This made him not calm down, Han Deqin was not a military general entrusted by the emperor because he was tall and heroic. He is also a general with real skills. Of course, looks will also give high marks. is like the former Zuo Yiwei general Wang Xu, because of his good looks, he was also given the eldest princess by Emperor Shenzong.

Therefore, when doing things by the emperor's side, looks are very important. Li Yun is not pleasing in appearance, most of them will not serve in the front division of the palace, and it is indispensable to go to the border to fight for military exploits, but what if Li Yun does not want to use his life to gain wealth? Wouldn't his own move make Li Yun resentful?

Seeing that his boss Han Deqin was shocked and shook his head, his subordinates thought that Li Yun did not meet the boss's wishes, so he flattered: "This son's moves are frivolous, how about being dethroned?" ”

"What should be the crime of being presumptuous, framing the pillars of the country with slander?"

"Your Excellency!"

"Stand down!"

Han Deqin was tired, and the front division of the palace was all good at sycophancy, so that he didn't even have the least eyesight. If Li Yun were ordinary, all the moves in this subject would be abolished.

Han Deqin hesitated whether he should introduce His Majesty in advance. After all, tomorrow the school will fight for the top champion, and the emperor will come. Li Yun is outstanding, and he will naturally have a share of his credit. In particular, he knows very well how far the emperor is eager for talents?

Although the little emperor is pro-government, he also looks like he is humbly listening to persuasion, but Han Deqin, who personally protects the emperor, knows that the emperor has almost crazy ambitions.

After all, when an emperor can't even look down on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he must be an emperor with great ambitions. Zhao Xu couldn't say it, but he always despised the achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his heart, thinking that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a faint monarch. Of course, his teacher Cheng Hao also thinks so, and it is estimated that the little emperor thinks that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a faint monarch, and most of them are influenced by Cheng Hao, the emperor.

Cheng Hao thinks so, and he is right. He is a moral gentleman and a descendant of Confucius. According to the standard of moral pedantry, there are two criteria for judging the quality of an emperor: whether to wage war or not? Is it a plus?

Unfortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accounted for both, and it is estimated that he is a faint monarch in Cheng Hao's eyes.

If Cheng Hao doesn't think that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a faint monarch, but for some purpose to instill in Zhao Xu that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is a faint monarch, then his heart can be punished!

Emperor Zhao Xuzhen was not qualified to despise Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Generally speaking, the emperors who looked down on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in later generations were basically faint monarchs.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and Li Guang...... A large number of famous generals. Killing the enemy thousands of miles away, expanding the territory for 3,000 miles, how can it be the existence of a little emperor who has not dried up?

Compared with talents, who is there around the little emperor? Is he two waste brothers-in-law?

Cheng Zhijie, whose name is Cheng Zhijie, the founding general of the previous dynasty, is famous. And the emperor's second brother-in-law is definitely a fake among fakes.

But Han Deqin knew that if he didn't mention anything, the emperor's careful eyes would most likely hold a grudge.

Back in the palace, Han Deqin came to the emperor under the guidance of Hao Sui, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has found a few generals. Please also ask Your Majesty to observe more tomorrow. ”

"Good! Let's talk about it soon. ”

Zhao Xu couldn't wait to stand up, as if he was also there.

Han Deqin said: "The first is Li Kui's brother, Li Yun. ”

"He? …… Didn't you fail in the provincial test? The emperor was stunned, Li Yun was a former friend of Ma, but there didn't seem to be anything strange about it, right?

What's more, Zhao Xu always thought that Li Yun was a scholar! How did he become a military general in a blink of an eye, he couldn't turn a corner.
