Running back and forth as a chief examiner is actually very tiring.

In particular, if you change places every time you change places, and you only stay for more than ten days at most, you have to leave on your way. Being in such a hurry is actually a very tiring thing. Not to mention the pressure of the imperial court, if something happens, you have to bear a considerable responsibility.

Therefore, the position of chief examiner will generally retire after a few sessions. Only Wang Tai persevered, and the presiding officer of the session and patrolling back and forth has never changed.

For Wang Tai, it doesn't matter if he works hard, what he enjoys most is that he can discover those outstanding young people in various places and promote the next generation.

This is also the reason why Wang Tai accepted the position of the imperial court and went back and forth in various prefectures and counties.

This time, the level of candidates in Langya County made Wang Tai overjoyed, far exceeding his previous expectations. Especially Bai Julu and Yang Ji.

Even if the white giant deer comes from the five holy places, as the descendant of Baitou Mountain, it is not surprising that he has any amazing appearance.

What really surprised and surprised Wang Tai the most was this candidate named Yang Ji!

He originally thought that the final champion would be Bai Julu, but he didn't expect Yang Jiju to turn defeat into victory and reverse the Baitou Mountain heir in one fell swoop.

In Wang Tai's eyes, even if the strength of this candidate named Yang Ji looks at the whole world, he is definitely among the best in the martial arts examination at the same level.

Flexible, mobile, agile, bold, careful, and perceptive...... , just by virtue of the excavation of this candidate, his trip to Langya is not worth it.

"How's Lord Yang's exam paper reviewing?"

Wang Taidao.

"Back to my lord, Lord Yang's article is basically over. ”

The lieutenant on the side bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Well, that's good. ”

Wang Tai put the teacup back on the bookcase and nodded: "Send these two volumes to Lord Yang as well." ”

Wang Tai pointed to the two test papers rolled up on the table.

"Yes, sir. ”

The lieutenant answered, and was about to reach for the two examined papers.

"Wait. ”

Wang Tai hesitated. stood up and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself." ”

The martial arts examination has come to an end, and the final ranking must be drawn up and reported to the imperial court just waiting for the results of the literary examination to come out. These need to be agreed upon with the rising sun colt.

Take the two test papers on the table and bypass the copywriting. Passing through half of the hall, in a separate review room with exquisite patterns and reliefs on the walls on both sides, Wang Tai met Yang Xuanlan.

Jade crown, gold belt, big red robe, just looking at the appearance, even Wang Tai has to admit that this Chaoyang horse is indeed a human dragon.

"Lord Yang. ”

"Lord Wang!"

......

Seeing Wang Tai, Yang Xuanlan's eyes flashed, put down the red pen, and stood up from behind the cloud pattern bookcase.

After the salute is over. Wang Tai said:

"Lord Yang, how's it going?"

"The ranking of the essay examination is being drawn up. Yang Xuanlan said lightly, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was generous.

Wang Tai glanced at it, only to find that there were a list of names written on the snow-white rice paper on Yang Xuanlan's body, and he was indeed already drawing up the ranking.

"Can you show me?"

Wang Taidao.

"Naturally. ”

Yang Xuanlan said lightly, pointing a finger and taking a list. Handed it over.

"This list was drawn up in conjunction with the examination papers that Mr. Wang and I had reviewed. The name has been preliminarily drafted, and Lord Wang can't even be counted. I'm going to go too. Just wait for Lord Wang to review it, agree on the name, and then report it to the court. This martial arts examination is over. ”

Yang Xuanlan said lightly.

Wang Tai nodded, the two of them were the same on this point. The matter of the martial arts examination is not sloppy at all.

Taking over the list drawn up by Yang Xuanlan, Wang Tai took a cursory glance. The names on the martial arts examination have basically not changed, and the test papers of the candidates I fancy are basically in them. The rest should be what Yang Xuanlan likes.

In general, the names on this list and the names of the twelve candidates who won the main hall competition are basically one-to-one.

This is not surprising to Wang Tai.

People who can have outstanding achievements in martial arts are often outstanding geniuses, and their achievements in other areas are generally not far behind.

This is basically the case in all dynasties, as well as in other prefectures and counties. Although there will be some poor pools. For example, some people will lose the election, but this is normal.

"Not bad. ”

Wang Tai looked at the article above and nodded. In general, he was satisfied with the list. Although he hasn't read the test papers of some candidates on it, even if he can be favored by Yang Xuanlan, it is definitely not much worse.

Being able to be canonized as a military general shows in itself that Yang Xuanlan's ability is recognized by the imperial court. It is more than enough to review a few exam papers.

In such a major matter as the martial arts examination, Wang Tai believes that no one dares to be sloppy.

"Huh?"

Looking at the entire list, Wang Tai suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and finally found a strict problem:

"Lord Yang, why is there no name of Yang Ji on this list?!"

Yang Ji was the first place in the martial arts test, defeating Bai Julu and making a big show. Such a character is the favorite to win the championship, but Wang Tai looked through the names on the list, including the two test papers he fancied, and he didn't see Yang Ji's name!

It's astounding!

"Lord Wang, is this strange?"

Yang Xuanlan's eyes flashed, and he said lightly, without the slightest expression on his face:

"The literary test and the martial test are not related, but they are based on the quality of the article. No matter how good the martial arts are, what's the use of bad articles? Lord Wang won't know this, right?"

Wang Tai was silent, what Yang Xuanlan said was that he knew that the literary test was indeed not necessarily related to the martial arts test. It's not a strange thing to fall into. But the first place in the dignified martial arts test actually didn't even enter the top 12 in the literary test, which is really shocking!

But what Yang Xuanlan said is right, whether it is a literary test or a martial test, it must be handled impartially from the imperial court. No matter what the martial arts test is, if the article is not good, it will not be selected.

"Is this Yang Ji really not even ranked in the top twelve?"

Wang Tai said with a frown.

"Is Lord Wang doubting my abilities?"

Yang Xuanlan said coldly.

In the officialdom, it is taboo to be in the same way. Essay examination marking. Yang Xuanlan and Wang Tai are independent and do not interfere with each other. Wang Tai's translation of Cheng dù was already interfering with Yang Xuanlan's matter.

"Naturally not. ”

Wang Tai shook his head:

"I'm just sorry for him, it's rare that there is such a talent in Langya County, I didn't expect that he didn't enter the list of the literary exam!"

Wang Tai said, sighing deeply in his heart. The essay section can be ranked in the top 12. Not yet in the top 12 is a big difference.

Although Yang Ji defeated Bai Julu, such a big failure in the literary examination will affect his final ranking and career very much.

Wang Tai originally wanted to promote the latter and protect him to the imperial court. But when this happens, I'm afraid we have to reconsider.

If the essay test fails, it means that there is no material for the general. There is more than enough to charge, and there is not enough to command a thousand troops.

This result will affect Yang Ji's official career in the future, and it is normal that he will never be hired by the imperial court. The imperial court needs a military general who commands thousands of armies, not a reckless replacement!

A selection test for martial arts strength is mainly contested with a literary part and is used as an important reference index for the final ranking. It is not for nothing that the imperial court did this!

"It's a pity that such a good talent!"

Wang Tai sighed in his heart, secretly regretting Yang Ji's talent.

He had talked to Yang Ji, and he felt that his martial arts ability was also okay. It can only be said that the level of candidates this time is too high, and the level of many candidates' articles is even shocking to Wang Tai.

Or, Yang Ji was unlucky and played abnormally.

There is no way to do this, in other words, he must handle it impartially even if he reads the file. A nail is a nail, and a rivet is riveting. Don't promote Yang Ji and admit him because of his appreciation.

With a sigh, Wang Tai handed over the two test papers in his hand.

"There are two more articles here, so let's take a look at them. Add it in, and then rank it together at the end. ”

Wang Taidao.

"Hmm. ”

Yang Xuanlan nodded and took the test paper.

When Yang Xuanlan was reading the two test papers. Wang Tai was also looking through the test papers of those candidates assessed by Yang Xuanlan. When the essay is reviewed, the chief and deputy examiners have enough autonomy.

But before finally going to the imperial court, the two examiners must be familiar with the twelve selected essays on the list, and all of them will be read.

It's a must.

In the main hall, the test papers rustled. Rows of civilian and military officials are reviewing the articles that were screened out in the preliminary review for a second time. This is to prevent some misjudgments and omissions.

Wang Tai looked through the past one by one and nodded secretly. White giant deer, Shi Zhongye, white nonsense...... , The articles made by these candidates who have been in the limelight in the martial arts test are indeed good.

Yang Xuanlan screened out some recent articles, and the level of single discussion is indeed very high, and some martial arts strategies are even extremely useful to the current imperial court.

From this point of view, these articles live up to their name and have absolutely no problem making the list. Even Wang Tai couldn't find anything wrong.

"Wait!"

After reading all the test papers of the selected candidates, Wang Tai suddenly raised his head, and the voice was so loud that the civil and military officials in the entire hall were startled.

"Lord Yang, what about another article?"

Wang Tai looked at Yang Xuanlan and said suddenly.

"What article?"

Yang Xuanlan was reading the article, and when he heard this, the corners of his eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Wang Tai ignored Yang Xuanlan, turned his head suddenly, looked at the civil and military officials in the hall, and said loudly:

"And another article?!"

This sentence came inexplicably, and no one knew what the old general meant. But Wang Taiyan's expression made no one dare to ignore it.

This was a precursor to an outburst, and the atmosphere in the originally orderly hall suddenly became tense.

"Buzz!"

The crowd buzzed, and a civil and military official lowered his head to see if there was any article missing. Maybe there is a test paper that has forgotten to be marked.

After a few moments, the self-examination ends. And all of you look at me, and I look at you, and they all look at each other.

But no.

Nothing doubtful article!

Immediately, a pair of puzzled eyes looked at Wang Tai at the head of the main hall.

"My lord, what article? We didn't miss anything here?"

A military attache looked up from behind the table and said boldly.

This sentence asked everyone's heart. The old general was reviewing the article on it, reviewing and reviewing, and suddenly such a sentence popped up, no one knows what the situation is? (To be continued......
