It is better to attack His Royal Highness than to compete in the world

The development of Beimo can be regarded as smooth weather. Although Ren Chengqing is committed to reform, he has also made some concessions, trying not to cause excessive social turmoil. Coupled with the victory in the battle of Nanzhou, Ren Chengqing's evaluation is no matter whether it is among the people or the courtiers. Both are very high.

In this peaceful atmosphere, Beimo ushered in the second season of civil and military imperial examinations.Compared with the first session a year ago, it was obviously much calmer, and Ren Chengqing still left it to Jiang Shang to lead the Ministry of Rites to complete.On the day of the martial arts examination, Ren Chengqing brought Ye Lingzhao out of the palace to watch the fun. Compared to a year ago, today there is obviously more purpose. Mr. Zhu participated in this year's martial arts examination, and he entered the examination as expected.

This year's martial arts examination system has undergone some changes. It is no longer a one-round match to decide whether to enter the palace examination, but a three-round best-of-two system, with three random rounds, as long as you win two rounds, you can enter the palace examination.The arena is already the third round of Mr. Zhu's competition. Mr. Zhu won the first two rounds, so the importance of the third round is not so high, and Mr. Zhu is still on full alert and takes his opponent seriously.Mr. Zhu's opponent is a rather mighty man, surnamed Lei, named Chengde, with a resolute face and a brave hand.

Zhu Jun's silver sword is nimble, Lei Chengde's sword is mighty, and the swords are equal in collision, but Ren Chengqing found that Zhu Jun's hands were already trembling a little.Lei Chengde focuses on attacking, and Mr. Zhu walks beside Lei Chengde, ready to find a loophole to make a surprise attack.Knowing that his strength is not enough, Mr. Zhu fights and retreats to avoid the range of Lei Chengde's sword. He thought that the sword should focus on strength and attack, so it must be a little slow and defenseless, but Lei Chengde's sword technique is really exquisite. The big knife has a powerful force when it is cut out, and it can be used for close protection when it is recovered, breaking Zhu Jun's attack.

The two of you came and went with me for hundreds of moves in the group arena, and it seemed that they were evenly matched. Mr. Zhu knew that he could no longer hold on. Picking up his sword, he clasped his fists and said to Lei Chengde: "I'm defeated." Lei Chengde also stopped his progress, put away his sword and returned the gift: "Miss Bamboo has accepted." Zhu Jun turned his head and jumped off the ring, walking towards Ren Chengqing. On the side, Ren Chengqing saw that Lei Chengde seemed to want to say something, he hesitated for a while, and then turned around and left.

Although he lost this time, Mr. Zhu still entered the palace examination. Drawing on the experience of last year, Ren Chengqing set the table early to congratulate Mr. Zhu.Only Ren Chengqing, Ye Lingzhao, and Mei Jie came, and there was no need to divide master and servant. Ren Chengqing asked them all to come to the table to celebrate Mr. Zhu.A few women packed a banquet, and the passers-by just glanced at it and went to their own business. After all, this year, there were women fighting martial arts first, then opening a women's school, and then recruiting female officials. It is normal for desert girls to go out of the house, especially in Desert Sand City, where there are empresses in charge, the status of girls seems to be higher.

After drinking for three rounds, the few people were already half full, and when they were eating a few pastries with tea, someone called Mr. Zhu. "Bamboo girl."

Mr. Zhu looked back, and it was Lei Chengde. Seeing Ren Chengqing nodding, Mr. Zhu stood up and introduced to Lei Chengde: "These are my two ladies, and the other three are my sisters. This is Mr. Lei."

"Don't dare to be, Lei Mou sees the two ladies, hello three girls." Ren Chengqing nodded slightly, and Lei Chengde also saw that Ren Chengqing in the main seat was the one who called the shots. He was dressed in extraordinary clothes and had a strong aura. Miss can develop such a temperament.

Lei Chengde's gaze didn't linger too long, and he lowered his head and said: "During the ring, I saw that Miss Zhu's wrist movement was a bit obscure. It may be because of some sprains during the battle. Lei has an ancestral plaster here, which is somewhat effective for sprains. Miss Zhu doesn't dislike it, and she hopes to accept it." Lei Chengde took a porcelain bottle in his hand and handed it to Mr. Zhu.

Mr. Zhu took the porcelain bottle and thanked Lei Chengde: "Thank you." After the medicine was delivered, the table was full of women, and Lei Chengde was inconvenient to stay, so he left.

One month later was the palace examination, and Ren Chengqing got up early in the morning.Ever since the relationship with Ye Lingzhao got closer, Ye Lingzhao officially settled in Ren Chengqing's bedroom, blatantly and loudly, and felt like he couldn't wait to announce his move in to everyone, so Ren Chengqing just smiled and followed her. Grasp is still confident.Although Ye Lingzhao didn't have to get up so early, he still insisted on grooming Ren Chengqing. In Ye Lingzhao's words, "I can't let others see me."

Today was the imperial examination, so Ren Chengqing gave up his usual simple attire. Ye Lingzhao brought gorgeous court clothes and waited for Ren Chengqing to wear them.Ren Chengqing went to the Wenju site first, and the scholars all knelt down and bowed three times and bowed nine times, shouting long live.Ren Chengqing asked the subordinates to stand up, said a few words of encouragement, and asked Jiang Shang to distribute the test questions and start the test.

Then went to the martial arts scene.Wu Ju was an hour later than Wen Ju, and it's just right now.When Ren Chengqing arrived, he knelt down and saluted, his voice was deafening, and he was indeed much more imposing than Wen Ju.Wuju is different from Wenju, the final result of Wenju can be seen from their beautiful articles, and Wuju will be greatly reduced if they miss the scene.

Lei Chengde knelt down and glanced at him. Lei Chengde was sure that the one sitting on the main seat was Mr. Zhu's lady.At this time, Lei Chengde's inner thoughts are constant. He has already contacted this majesty in advance. Is he more advantageous? Is his performance that day good? De's heart also calmed down, what was he thinking, come to see martial arts, don't you hope to be recognized with your own martial arts and strategy?The people who accompany you every day don't take these shortcuts, so you're still delusional when you meet him once?Looking around at the candidates who were kneeling and listening to Ren Chengqing, Lei Chengde thought that apart from him, no one knew that the only woman left for the palace examination would be His Majesty's personal maid.

After Ren Chengqing announced the start, everyone took the badges they received to the ring to fight.Those who can enter the palace test are not far behind in martial arts, so Ren Chengqing also called in the imperial guards for the martial arts examination. After Dingnan King Han Guangli's actions, the number of imperial guards has been reduced by half, but the fighting power is great. Amplitude rises.

I was at the palace examination site, and the emperor was watching in person, so I was nervous enough, but now I was surrounded by murderous guards with sharp knives, several candidates performed abnormally, Ren Chengqing ignored it, and the martial arts continued.What she wants is someone who can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future, not someone who can perform exquisite martial arts for her. She doesn't have the ability to withstand pressure at all. She probably can't hold a knife steadily when she sees the corpses on the battlefield.

After a day of competition, the results of the Wen Ju and Wu Ju were probably out. The Wu Ju was confirmed at the beginning, but the candidates were asked to go back first and wait for three days to post the list. Ren Chengqing.Among them was a student named Yan Huijing, who was talented in literature and had the appearance of a number one scholar, but he was from Nanzhou. He heard about the imperial examination system in Beimo, so he came here specially to see it.Most of the officials in the Ministry of Rites felt that how could the number one scholar of literature be given to a person from another country, which would chill the hearts of scholars in Beimo, but Li Sheng held the opposite opinion, thinking that Yan Huijing's literary talents were much higher than others. If he is not from Beimo, if he abandons it, then it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world.What's more, Yan Huijing, as a Nanzhou native, was able to go to Beimo to sit for the imperial examination, so he needs to be reused, showing His Majesty's determination to select scholars based on their talents.

Ren Chengqing announced that the Ministry of Rites appointed Yan Huijing as the number one scholar, but the next morning the court ministers complained, shouting that no, if the thieves from other countries can become the number one scholar in Beimo, Beimo is not far from the collapse of the country.Ren Chengqing reprimanded this kind of xenophobic thinking, and as a result, some people pointed out the shortcomings of Yan's return to Beijing article, saying that his talent was not enough to be the number one scholar.It is said that there is no first article, no matter how good the article is, it is not perfect, and Ren Chengqing can't refute it. The two sides have been deadlocked for a long time, and finally Ren Chengqing backed down and awarded Yan back to Beijing to explore the man.

The No. [-] martial arts champion was Lei Chengde, and no one refuted it. Lei Chengde knelt down in court to thank him. When Ren Chengqing asked him what position he wanted, Lei Chengde said: "A good man should protect his family and the country. Virtue is not talent, and I don't want a high position, but I want to garrison the border for Beimo." Ren Chengqing agreed in court, and first let Lei Chengde train in the garrison for a month.The second person in Wu Bang is Mr. Zhu. For the first time, a woman was conferred in court. Mr. Zhu walked up to the front of the hall with a straight back and knelt down with a long sword on his waist. He was really heroic.Anyone who inquired casually would know the relationship between Mr. Zhu and Ren Chengqing. In view of Ren Chengqing's opinion of making concessions among the literary champions, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty just turned a blind eye.Ren Chengqing also transferred Mr. Zhu to the garrison for a period of time.

Regardless of whether it was the young scholars and military officers this year or last year, Ren Chengqing would be promoted if he could. The whole Beimo could feel the young empress's great love for the young officials, and also made the young scholars serve the country even more.
