Imperial Exam Daily

After the martial arts charter was passed, an imperial edict was officially promulgated in September to be implemented nationwide, and the first county examination began in March of the following year. The common people had nearly half a year to understand the situation of the imperial examination and prepare for the exam.

As soon as the policy came out, the common people were excited, and the prefects of various provinces submitted papers in the next month. The response of the surname Bai was good.

Not to mention ordinary people, even many officials' children in the court also responded to martial arts, and invited people who are good at boxing, kung fu and military strategy to teach them. If they are not good at literature and academics, they will not get through all the way. Nowadays, there is another way out of martial arts. Why don't you try it out, there are no official children who can't read characters, and they have a certain advantage over ordinary people in terms of culture, and they also know a thing or two about military strategy. Emphasis on martial arts can be said to have a bright future.

After General Ji saw Yang Ye's martial arts plan, the whole country is now actively responding to the martial arts. , looking at this thriving color is greatly shocked and joyful.

"Your vision is better than your mother's. Yang Ye has a good personality and talent, and he looks much more pleasing to the eye than Xue Yinsheng."

Ah Xi poured a bowl of wine for Ji Chong, and asked his servants to serve another plate of cold skewers. Since Ji Chong knew that cold skewers belonged to the Yang family, he would eat several large plates of cold skewers when he came to see his great-grandson, and then drink Serve a jug of wine.Ah Xi just laughed when he heard what he said: "Since grandpa is satisfied with Ah Ye, why would he only praise him in front of me? If you praise him in person, he will be happy. He is very careful, for fear of offending grandpa."

Ji Chong said solemnly: "Fool, if the old man praises him directly, he will not be so diligent in doing things in front of grandpa. What will happen if he bullies you in the future? Men can't be used to it. Don't think that the old man praises him. You can't do it either. He is too soft, and he is determined not to marry a concubine, nor can he take a concubine! If he thinks that the number of people is thinner, you can give him two more children. When the time comes, grandpa will hold one in his left hand and one in his right hand, and put them on his neck. Could ride another one too, just right."

Ah Xi frowned: "Grandpa knows how to make fun of me."

The grandfather and grandson were happy with what they were talking about, so Yang Ye came back from the imperial court, Ji Chong was recuperating from his injuries recently, and Emperor Wen gave permission not to go to the early imperial court, and recently they were all watching the matter of martial arts, in case someone secretly tripped them up.

He called Yang Ye to come over for a drink, and Yang Yexin stepped into the room, changed into his normal clothes and came out.

The two drank a few bowls in a row, Ji Chong said: "You have a good capacity for drinking."

"Back then, in the village, my eldest brother and Axi's uncle were both good drinkers, so I increased my drinking capacity."

Ji Chongdao: "At the end of the year, we will also bring your eldest brother and the others to live in the capital for a while, so that the family can reunite."

Yang Ye's heart warmed up: "Listen to grandpa, I'll ask Axi to write a letter back."

Axi said: "Speaking of letters, I received a letter from my aunt this morning, saying that Uncle Xing intends to participate in next year's martial arts."

"Xing Huai is tall and tall, and hunting swordsmanship is good all the year round. If you participate in martial arts, you can get some fame in the future." Yang Ye said pleasantly: "It's better to buy two good horses for Xing Huai, and practice riding and shooting earlier. It is beneficial and harmless.”

Ji Chong said: "There is no shortage of good horses there, let me take a few of them to give away."

Of course, Yang Ye believed that General Ji had plenty of good horses, so it was good to have ready-made horses: "Then I would like to thank Grandpa."

At the end of the year, Yang Cheng and Xu Qiuhe brought Xiao Xiang to the capital. Xiao Xiang is now four years old. He missed the time when his family was in trouble.

The family hadn't been together for a long time, but the gathering today was like returning to Wenyang County, it was very lively.

The next year, after the county examination, in July Yang Ye and Ji Chong were going to inspect the results of martial arts in various places. He originally planned for the time of the township examination in June, but after seeing the officials in the court, they all felt that the time was too tight, so It was changed to July.

He and Ji Chong rode all the way, and the first provincial capital to inspect was the neighboring province of Wenyang County.

Along the way, martial arts students can be seen everywhere in the official roads and posthouses, all dressed up in good spirits, Ji Chong looked very satisfied, although he saw that each of them was far inferior to the trained soldiers, but the soldiers were not as good when they first entered the camp Martial arts students, if you practice hard over time, you will surely be useful.

Yang Ye dressed in casual clothes at the posthouse and sneaked into the martial arts students. He wanted to inquire about the martial arts students' opinions on rushing for the martial arts exam. He found an empty table and sat down. He saw some candidates carrying swords and some with arrow feathers on their backs, so he didn't glance at them. The burly figure blocked his sight: "Can I sit here?"

He looked up, and an unaccompanied candidate came to sit at the same table, and he responded.

With a click of "climbing", before the examinee sat down, the burden on his back fell off and was placed on the table. When the cloth bag was pulled away, Yang Ye saw a few stones.

Yang Ye, who is carrying a sword and arrow feathers, can still understand it, because in the township examination, there is an exam to show his strengths, and he can add points, playing with swords, fancy archery, these are also ordinary performances, he is really puzzled by carrying stones , is it possible to show the broken boulder in the chest?Before he could ask, the muscular man with the stone on his back spoke first: "Brother, why didn't you bring anything?"

Yang Ye was puzzled: "It is stipulated that what must be brought to the exam?"

The man said: "It's a long way to the provincial capital. If you have something on your body, you won't be afraid of danger. Besides, you can practice with your hands."

Yang Ye coughed dryly for the same reason. It seems that this year's candidates are working hard.

As he said that, the man took out a round stone that looked like it had been polished, weighing at least twenty kilograms, and lifted it up and down with ease, his biceps bulging and calming down with the movement of his elbow.

Yang Ye was shocked: "Brother is really hardworking."

"Hey, what am I? Those with arrows are even more powerful. When they pass through the forest, they shoot wild captures. They can not only practice archery, but also raise the fire and relieve their hunger. It kills two birds with one stone."

"Why doesn't that brother bring arrows?"

"I was born in a poor family, and it costs a lot of money to consume it. I usually practice archery with peeled bamboo. I thought I would bring it out for the exam. My mother refused to let it go. If you go there, you will be looked down upon, and you can’t screw it with the old man, so you just wear a few stones and carry it on your back, anyway, the exam has to test the load.”

Yang Ye thinks this man is very interesting, but at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is a sharp-edged man.

"Hey, I see you didn't bring anything, so I might as well give you one."

Before Yang Ye could answer, a cold stone was forced into his arms, and he picked up the dead stone, trying not to show that he was from Wen Jusheng: "Don't, don't do it, brother How can I win people's love if I have to use it heavily?"

"Hey, everyone came out to take the exam, so it's okay to take care of each other. My mother said that Emperor Ji Wen was wise and let me catch up with a good time. Otherwise, I can only fight for a lifetime in the county dock. , now I have room to work hard, and I am admitted to Wu Xiucai, the family can feel proud, and it is not only the scholar in the village who has face."

Yang Ye chuckled: "That's natural, the current emperor is wise."

The man said: "I see that my brother is a little thin, but he is very knowledgeable in speech. He must have been educated, and the township examination will give extra points for knowledge. My brother will definitely get a good result."

"By borrowing auspicious words from my brother, my brother will definitely get good grades."

When Yang Ye went back, he told Ji Chong about the interesting things they had met, and Ji Chong laughed a few times: "Just now, the old man also heard from Xiao Er that during the period of the martial arts exam, all the official paths and alleys are very peaceful, and there are no gangsters and robbers at all. Haunted, there were gangsters on the official road during the county examination, but the things were not snatched, but a group of martial arts students chased them and beat them away, and after hearing that the martial arts students were haunted, the gangsters were very stable."

Hearing anecdotes about martial arts along the way, the journey seemed much easier, and he arrived in the provincial capital the next day.

After the martial arts implementation plan was announced, Emperor Ji Wen ordered the construction of martial arts examination rooms in various places. Yang Ye went to the examination room to check before the examination. The martial arts examination room was very different from the imperial examination room. There were no separate cubicles, only huge ones. The venue, and the weapons used in the exam.

Yang Ye tapped on the examination equipment, and found that they are very strong. The candidates in the first batch are good, and the examination room is all new. Unlike the exams in other villages, the house was still leaking, and the windows were broken. The conditions were bleak. .

When referring to him in the past, he thought that it would be great if one day he could walk into the examination room as a proctor.

On July [-]th, the martial arts provincial examination was officially held. A large number of martial arts students entered the examination room one after another. After rounds of examinations, Yang Ye was performing martial arts when he went to see the candidates.

"The next martial arts show, Zhang Tiehu."

Yang Ye was placed on the high platform, watching the tough man with no shirt on and covered with sinewy flesh walk to the center of the platform. Before the examiner could start, he took the lead in scolding and smashed a two-inch-thick stone with his fist.

Yang Ye felt that this behavior was so familiar, he stepped down from the high platform and took a closer look, he was really the man he met in the post house yesterday.

Zhang Tiehu also saw him, his big bull-drum-like eyes widened in surprise, why did you want to say that sentence, but it was held back by the majestic examination room.

Several invigilators watched too many dazzling arrow and saber techniques, and seeing such a simple and authentic martial arts performance for a while, they really didn't know how to judge, so they subconsciously glanced at Yang Ye.

Yang Ye smiled but said nothing, and returned to the high platform with his hands behind his back.

"The old man has been paying attention to this examinee all the way. He has performed well in the past, but unfortunately he is not very literate, and he looks a bit simple and honest, but his strength is really great, and a little work can make a difference. If he can make it to the examination, no matter what the score is , the old man is interested in cultivation."

Yang Ye didn't expect that Ji Chong would also fall in love with Zhang Tiehu, but his eyes coincided with him: "It's his luck that Grandpa likes this candidate, everything depends on his luck."

The author has something to say: The heavy rain today made the update late. (whee)
