Chapter 0008: Institutional Traps

It was an examiner shouting at the door, and Li Zhen hurriedly raised his hand, "Here!"

"Come and register, you are the only one left in your state school who has not registered. ”

Jiu Zhi muttered in the back, "Open your eyes and tell nonsense, obviously Lao Tzu is also a state bachelor, and he has not registered, what is it?"

"I guess they're confused, let's go register together!"

Jiu Zhi handed over the thin donkey to his younger brother, and the two squeezed to the registration desk, handed over the candidates' bamboo cards, and the examiner spread the registration book in front of Li Zhen, "Register quickly, you are the first batch of exams, and the exam time is coming." ”

"Uncle Examiner, may I ask what batch I am?" asked Jiuzhi next to him.

"You?" the examiner was stunned for a moment, "What's your name?"

"Wine, wine, ambition!"

"The wine is here!" shouted another examiner next to him.

"Everyone, let go!" Jiuzhi squeezed desperately through.

At this time, Li Zhen's registration was over, and the examiner pointed to the gate, "Go in! You choose a bow and arrow in the first shed, the blue greenhouse, don't go wrong." ”

"Thank you!"

Li Zhen advanced to the school field, the school field has been arranged, placed ten targets, the range is about 50 steps, each time ten people shoot arrows at the same time, within the specified time to shoot five arrows, three targets are qualified, if you want to participate in horse shooting, you must all five arrows hit the target.

There are five sheds next to it, which are places for candidates to choose bows and arrows and wait for the exam, the first of which is the blue greenhouse.

"Lao Li!"

Jiuzhi chased after him from behind, "It's strange, I obviously signed up with you, how did I get divided into the eighth batch, but you were the first batch." ”

"Who knows, maybe it's just a random split! Old fatty, which shed are you in?"

"The third shed, the red one. ”

Jiu Zhi grabbed Li Zhen again and said in a low voice: "I heard that the rules have been changed this year, and only fifty people are eligible to participate in mounted archery, and they will be selected according to their foot shooting results, you have to be careful, don't be careless about Jingzhou." ”

Li Zhen nodded, he could understand this regulation, because Wang Xiaojie was present, so he had to ensure the quality of the candidates, so as not to have uneven candidates like last year.

Last year, 60 of the 100 mounted archery candidates missed the target and shot the arrows away, and if this situation appeared in front of Wang Xiaojie this year, it would lose the face of Shazhou.

"I'll pay attention, I'll see you at the gate later, I still have something to discuss with you!"

"Good!"

Jiu Zhi rushed away, and Li Zhen entered the first greenhouse, where there were already more than 20 people, with three rows of bow and arrow stands on the side, and two examiners, one was responsible for official registration, and the other was responsible for helping to choose bows and arrows.

The so-called examiners, in fact, are all temporary local state soldiers, and their attitudes are very rude, and the examiners are a little slower, and they are pointed at their noses and yelled by the examiners.

However, they seemed to know Li Zhen and were polite to him, Li Zhen came to the bow frame, and the bow frame was full of foot bows.

It is larger than the riding bow used by Li Zhen, and the workmanship is relatively rough, far from being comparable to his riding bow, but his bow took the master three years to make, which is comparable to the bow of a famous craftsman.

The step bow ranges from a five-bucket bow to a stone bow, which varies from person to person, and you can choose it yourself, Li Zhen is more picky about the bow, and he tried three or four in a row, but he was not satisfied, it was too light.

At this time, the examiner who helped to choose the bow slowly walked over and smiled: "Does Zhen Gongzi feel uncomfortable?"

The examiner had a pinch of scorched yellow rat whiskers, which was quite eye-catching, and Li Zhen saw that he knew himself, and he also smiled and said, "It's too light, isn't it a little heavier?"

"There seems to be a slightly heavier one. ”

The examiner took him to the third row, picked up a bow on the edge and said, "This one is the heaviest, no one chooses it, so why don't you try it?"

Li Zhen stretched his bow and slowly pulled it away, this turned out to be a two-stone bow, which just matched his arm strength, Li Zhen was overjoyed, "This is it." ”

The rat-whisker examiner smiled slightly, "Let's go! ”

'Knock!knock!'

The drum beats, the day is just dawn, the first batch of ten candidates began to shoot on foot, each with a quiver next to him, five arrows in the pot, required to shoot all before the end of the drum, everyone is very nervous, and their hearts beat together with the drum.

Li Zhen is very relaxed, this kind of rifle shooting test is a breeze for him, and he can easily hit the bullseye with all five arrows, which should be a full score.

"Congratulations to Zhen Gongzi Tong Guò for the exam!"

The scorched yellow squirrel examiner appeared in front of Li Zhen and said with a smile: "The results have been confirmed, and the current ranking is first, and the examiner asked me to inform Gongzi to go to the big school to prepare to participate in the riding shooting, and the riding shooting will be held there." ”

"Thank you!"

Li Zhen handed him the bow and walked quickly outside, for him, this kind of infantry shooting did not mean anything, he cared about riding and shooting.

He is in very good shape today, as long as he swings normally, he is the only one who can enter Beijing.

Li Zhen walked out of the school yard and saw Kang Sisi from afar, and when she saw Li Zhen, she jumped up happily, "Here, Brother San Lang!"

Her voice was coquettish, and she shouted intimately, and many people next to her looked sideways at her, but she rushed up without caring and grabbed Li Zhen's arm intimately, "Brother San Lang, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Li Zhen looked at Sisi's cheeks and the glow of the smile swirled, a ray of warmth swelled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but be happy.

"Sisi, where is your second brother?"

"He went to the big school field to take a seat, Sister Quan also came, I saw her just now, it is estimated that she also went to the big school field, she asked me to tell you, let you put down the package, travel lightly. ”

It turned out that the eldest sister also came, and then he remembered something again, and said apologetically to Sisi: "I have to go out for a few days tomorrow, and I promised to watch your dancing competition last time, but I may not be able to go." ”

Sisi's expression was gloomy, "I heard from Sister Quan, you can't go and you can't do it." ”

Li Zhen saw that she was sad, so he smiled and said, "If you also travel with us, your second brother will also go!"

Sisi slowly lowered his head, "I really want to go!" But this dance competition is very important, I heard that if you dance well, you can go to Chang'an, I'm sorry, Brother San Lang, I really don't want to give up." ”

Li Zhen frowned, "You're going to Chang'an?"

A trace of panic flashed in Sisi's eyes, and he quickly shook his head, "No! I'm just talking about where my father will allow me to go." ”

Li Zhen didn't believe it, this little lady wanted to go to Chang'an and Luoyang, she didn't want to do anything stupid, he told again: "Even if your father agrees, you can't go! You are not yet fourteen years old, and it is too dangerous to go to Chang'an alone." ”

"I'm not going!"

Li Zhen is still a little worried, he has time to talk to Uncle Kang, he has to watch her closer

The infantry shooting test was very fast, and in just one hour, more than 600 candidates in the three examination rooms completed the infantry shooting.

Most of the candidates are over here, but there are still 50 candidates to participate in the cavalry archery and compete for three places in the capital township.

This is the highlight of the Wuju Township Test, the riding and archery is held in the Dunhuang University Stadium, which is also the polo field of Shazhou, and the annual polo competition will attract tens of thousands of Shazhou people to come to watch the game, and the grand occasion is unprecedented.

Today's Wuju Township trial shooting also attracted tens of thousands of spectators, who crowded the surrounding battlefield viewing places.

Thousands of soldiers are responsible for maintaining order, and to the north there is a grandstand on which Shazhou's top officials sit.

Including Taishou Li Wuyi, Changshi Jiang Yuan, Sima Suo Zhiping, Deputy Military Envoy Zhang Ting, in addition to the county commanders of Dunhuang and Shouchang counties, Li Jin, the head of the Li family, Zheng Lin, and so on.

There are two distinguished guests today, one is Wang Xiaojie, the general of the left guard and the head of Wuwei Dao, and the other is Su Honghui, Wang Xiaojie's deputy general.

And Taishou Li Wuwu is just a fourth-grade lower rank, not only is his official position several levels worse, but his status in the court is far from comparable, and he can't even compare with the deputy general Su Honghui.

Wang Xiaojie sat in the middle of the main seat, and Su Honghui sat in the second row, after all, Li Wuqi is the master, he wants to accompany Wang Xiaojie, how can there be a reason for the master to sit in the back.

Wang Xiaojie acted as if nothing happened, and he squinted to watch a team of dancing girls dance on the polo field.

Zhang Ting, who was sitting behind him, also smiled and said nothing, he also pretended not to know anything today, and would not expose the secret connection between Wang Xiaojie and Li Zhen.

But there is one thing he is unequivocal, no matter what, the place that belongs to his son, he will never give up.

"Are there any generals in the general's army who have been recommended to go to the capital to participate in the martial arts?" asked Li Wuyi with a smile.

"I used to have it, but I haven't thought about it this year, after all, there is going to be a war, so I don't have this mind for the time being. ”

Li Wuyi nodded, and said with concern: "I heard that the Holy Lord sent Gao Yanfu to envoy Dunhuang, it should be there in a few days, but I have no news, I have asked Zhang Junenvoy to send an army to meet him, is it better for the general to send an army to meet him?"

Li Wuyi mentioned the most upset thing about Wang Xiaojie, and he was taken aback, "The envoy said that the Holy Lord sent Gao Yanfu to come?"

"That's what the official said, isn't it Gao Fujun?"

Wang Xiaojie was even more worried, Gao Yanfu was the saint's confidant eunuch, with a high position, in case something happened to him, how could he afford this responsibility.

He understood what Li Wuqi meant, Li Wuqi was only in charge of the Shazhou range, and he, Wang Xiaojie, was in charge of the entire Hexi, and he should also send troops to meet him.

Wang Xiaojie concealed the worry in his heart, nodded and smiled: "I have already sent the army, I have no news for the time being, Gaofujun should have palace guards, there will be no problems in security, what does Li Yuanjun think?"

"I also hope there are no problems. ”

At this time, Suo Zhiping stepped forward and saluted: "General, envoy, the cavalry will start immediately." ”

Wang Xiaojie's thoughts were not on the test field, so he asked absentmindedly: "How many people participated?"

"There are about fifty people, all of whom are the best in the infantry and bow exams, and they are also the best cavalry and archery teenagers in our Shazhou, and I believe that the general will not be disappointed. ”

Wang Xiaojie casually agreed, "Then let's start!"
