His Majesty Meow Raises Fish [Rebirth]

As the imperial court is about to increase its troops, the provincial examination and the general examination will be held in the same year this year, so the provincial examination is earlier than usual, and the time between the two examinations is very short.

It is absolutely impossible to put this in Wenju—after all, if weak scholars are to be locked up in the Gongyuan twice within a month, and locked up for three days and three nights, I am afraid that the talents will not be selected. Already died.

Fortunately, candidates in martial arts exams only spend about a day on the court, which is far less than the time candidates spend on court in Wenju. In addition, military commanders are supposed to be good at physical strength and endurance, so the test is very successful. More frequently, there will not be too much difficulty.

Deng Song stopped here, preparing for the next battle, while Shaoxuan continued to participate in the test under the eyes of everyone.

At the stage of the general examination, the advanced military strategy theory is no longer just a simple part of "only those who pass the military examination can participate in the military examination", but has become the same as the various items of the military examination, and has begun to become the part of the evaluation.

Finally, the ranks of policy theory and martial arts test were compared together to get the final ranks of these newly promoted warriors.

Shaoxuan's overwhelming advantage in martial arts, the effect this time is obviously not as obvious as the previous two times.

Because of the shortcomings of the literary test, he almost fell out of the top ten, but in the end he returned to the top three by relying on his grades in the military test.

This time, Shaoxuan failed to take another dollar, but Qi Jing was actually very happy.

Seeing that this ranking is neither high nor low, neither does it tire Shaoxuan's reputation, nor does it allow him to continue to make the most of the limelight and attract the most attention, Qi Jing feels that it is perfect.

He touched the back of Xiao Shishi's neck with a smile, and his tone was full of complacency: "Xi Shi, do you know what makes you great?"

Xiao Shishi was playing with a ball on the Arhat couch in the Snapper. Hearing this, he tilted his head to look at Qi Jing, and tentatively said, "No. 1?"

Qiuxi and Chongjiu saw that the little prince had mentioned the number one without any warning, and they were muttering in their hearts: Master Shaoxuan failed to get the first place in this test. How could the little prince just say that? Not that it would embarrass and frustrate him...

They sneaked a glance at Shaoxuan, but couldn't see any clues on the expressionless face of the other party, so they could only look away anxiously.

His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince didn't know that his maid and internal officials were worrying about nothing, he just shook his head coolly: "What's so good about being number one, it's best not to be number one..."

Qiu Xi and Chong Jiu: "..." You can't exaggerate Wu Jieyuan just because Young Master Shaoxuan won the first place in the township test, and because Young Master Shaoxuan didn't win the first place, you can't say that Wu Huiyuan is nothing good!

For some reason, they always had the feeling that His Highness was going to say something weird and misleading to fool His Highness.

Sure enough, Qi Jing continued: "It's too cold to be high. Do you understand? Others don't like to play with No. [-]. I'm so lonely... And after winning the No. One is not the greatest thing."

The little guy didn't realize that it was fallacious at all, and asked in cooperation, "Then what is the most powerful?"

Qiuqiu sat on the couch with him, and the two little ones looked at Qi Jing in unison, as if they were very curious about what he said next.

Qi Jing touched their little heads, with a serious face: "The real strength is not to get the first place easily, but to take the number of places you want to take."

In order to restore Shaoxuan's image in the hearts of the little guys, he also added: "It's like your brother Shaoxuan, if you don't want to take the first place, we won't take the first place. It's not the same as those vulgar people outside. How about it?" , handsome or not? Chic or unrestrained?"

"Handsome, handsome, handsome!" Little Eleven suddenly became elated, and offered to ask for a reward for Shaoxuan: "Give Brother Shaoxuan one piece... two pieces of sugar cake, okay?"

——Brother Shaoxuan doesn’t know how to eat anyway, so we can ask them to help eat the rewards then!

Little Akabane at the side flapped his little wings in fright at his excited appearance, but when he heard the word TangGao, he remembered what he had tasted before, and he was a little bit looking forward to it.

Qi Jing clearly saw through Eleven's little plan, but he still nodded in agreement in a happy mood.

"Yes, it's a reward. I'll bring you the cakes from Penglai Pavilion tomorrow."

The little ones were naturally cheering. Qiuxi and Chongjiu saw that His Highness was not upset because Master Shaoxuan didn't get the Huiyuan, but seemed really happy, so they were also relieved.

——I hope everything goes well in the imperial examination. If Master Shaoxuan can really come back with a martial arts champion, it will be a great joy for the family!

……

In the autumn of the 22nd year of Yuanzhang, three martial arts exams were held, and the last palace exam also came as scheduled.

On the day of the palace test, it happened to be another autumn rain, and there was mud everywhere, and the situation on the military test field seemed to have become worse.

His Majesty the Emperor did not feel unhappy, but was very satisfied with the current situation: "Under such conditions, those who can perform stably are the talents our court needs."

The Holy Majesty has spoken like this, how dare the entire court have any objections, so all the important officials accompanied the driver to monitor the martial arts.

After being selected layer by layer before, those who can stay and appear in front of the emperor are all outstanding people... It's just that not all outstanding people are people with good fortune.

Like the imperial examination, the palace examination of the military examination is administered by the emperor himself.

The infield is a test of strategy and art of war, and the outfield is a test of martial arts. However, this martial arts test only tests school riding and shooting, which means that the winner will be determined in three rounds.

The Wugong warriors who stand out in the martial arts test will test their strategies first in the palace, which is enough to test their personal abilities. Later, they will have to decide their fate in front of the emperor in three rounds of nine arrows. The muddy ground is terrifying to think about.

But such severe conditions for riding and shooting are actually an advantage for Shaoxuan who lacks strategies and theories.

After knowing the topic of the policy discussion, the Seventh Prince couldn't help but think to himself: Tsk tsk, father is trying to knock down a lot of people...

Now he is not worried about his beauties at all - after all, no matter how difficult it is, it is all the same to him... As long as he understands the topic and memorizes a few paragraphs of the military manual, he will not hand in a blank paper, and he will be good enough to get a ranking.

Although he is no longer worried, what should be paid attention to is still to be paid attention to. The seventh prince who accompanied him to watch the martial arts did not dare to look for someone in front of his father, so he could only squint his eyes and search silently.

Most of the Wugong warriors were born tall, and they would not be able to see anything when they sat down, but Shaoxuan's appearance is really outstanding, and it is difficult to be ignored in the crowd.

Not to mention Qi Jing, even the emperor can see his outstanding performance.

"Is this Xu Shaoxuan from Lao Qi's mansion?" He asked Tong Hai beside him.

Tong Hai gestured to the subordinate officer of the military department next to him with his eyes, and got an affirmative answer, so he replied respectfully: "If you go back to His Highness, it is this person."

Originally, Tong Hai thought that His Majesty would ask something, but who knew that the emperor did not show any more attention to Shaoxuan, which made Qi Jing heave a sigh of relief, but also made some people feel unwilling.

Afterwards, His Majesty moved the crowd to the driving school and watched the warriors riding and shooting.

Sure enough, Xu Shaoxuan was outstanding in martial arts, and he performed extremely well among the warriors. All nine arrows hit the bull's-eye, and this time he was finally praised by His Majesty.

Probably because he had stood in the cold wind for a long time, the emperor was obviously a little tired after the palace examination, and soon went back to Zichen Palace to rest.

The minister of the Ministry of War and the examiners appointed by the emperor stayed behind, waiting for His Majesty to summon to review the rankings, while the princes and courtiers left first and waited for the results.

Three days later, the results of the palace examination were announced, and officials from the court and the central government rolled their names outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and posted a list outside the gate of the palace city.

In the hall, the emperor gave Wu Zhuangyuan armor, and then the sixteen guards escorted Wu Zhuangyuan back to Dixun Street to show his honor.

……

When Qi Zhuo, who arrived at the Fifth Prince's Mansion, thought of Qi Jing's dazed expression when he first heard the list today, he felt happy.

"Lao Qi wants to be a champion of martial arts, but it will be in vain... What a combination of civil and martial arts, it's ridiculous, but he is just a martial artist who doesn't understand literary strategy."

In the first two tests, the literary test was not as conspicuous as the military test, at best it was just a stepping stone, but when it came to the third test, especially the later palace test, how could it be possible for an ignorant person to get away with it?

Qi Zhuo thought, if he had known that this Xu Shaoxuan was not good at literary examinations, he should have worked harder in this area when he passed on his "good name", so that he would be more famous now.

Compared to the happy sixth prince, the fifth prince was extraordinarily quiet after he came out of the palace, thinking all the time.

He didn't respond to Qi Zhuo's words right away, but was silent for a while, and then said with a gloomy expression: "Father really favors Lao Qi too much."

When Qi Zhuo heard this, the smile on his face was too late to put away, and he couldn't help showing doubts in his eyes: "Brother Huang, what are you talking about? What is your preference?"

Although the fifth prince was restless, he still explained: "According to the usual practice, the three tripod armors in the martial arts must enter the sixteen guards, you should know this."

The Sixteenth Guards of Tianjing, also known as the Sixteenth Guards or the Sixteenth Mansion, was not only the forbidden soldiers guarding the capital, but also commanded the soldiers of the world.

The governor's mansion, the local governor, the sixteen guards, and the marching generals restrict each other, and no one party can control the army alone. Therefore, even if the soldiers in the world are scattered, the emperor still controls the overall situation.

Like the three counties of Liyang in Jizhou, it is rare for the regent king to directly control the military power and unify the military and government, not to mention the current Kyushu, even the Kyushu countries in history.

For the emperor, the importance of the sixteen guards is self-evident, and they have always been capable confidantes serving as the chiefs of the guards. The Sanding Armor of the new martial arts is the focus of cultivation.

Therefore, no matter whether it is in Qingzhou or in the palace examinations of other countries, the top three Wu Jinshi will be appointed by His Majesty to enter the Sixteen Guards Mansion in all likelihood, and their future is limitless.

The second-class usually has ten to dozens of qualifications ranging from the military Jinshi background, plus the top three, to the same martial arts Jinshi background, and then the Ministry of War confers official positions.

These Xinke Wu Jinshi either stayed in Beijing, or went to various counties, and really began to serve the country.

Generally speaking, most of the top two ranks will enter the Sixteen Guards of Tianjing like Sanding Jia, but there are a few exceptions. In other words, starting from the Second Jia, the fate of Wu Jinshi is not so absolute.

Reminded by the fifth prince, what did Qi Zhuo think of, and he said in disbelief: "Brother Huang means that father ordered this No.4 for Xu Shaoxuan on purpose?!"

Although he didn't want to agree, the fifth prince still nodded: "Besides that, I have nothing else to think about."

He took a sip of the hot tea on the table, but he couldn't drive away the chill in his heart.

That Xu Shaoxuan is highly skilled in martial arts, and his performance on the school field is definitely comparable to that of the current martial arts champion. Although he is not outstanding in terms of military tactics, his flaws are not concealed.

Under such circumstances, if His Majesty valued his ability, it would be reasonable to place him in the Tripod Armor. Even if others talked behind his back, they would have to admit that his strengths were obvious.

But His Majesty the Emperor did not show such "importance".

The fifth prince understands that this is definitely not the meaning of his father not admiring Xu Shaoxuan, but because his father prefers Lao Qi, so he wants to fulfill his wish.

He put a lid on the teacup on the case table: "In this way, No. 4 Xu Shaoxuan stays in the Seventh Prince's Mansion as a general, at least it doesn't allow talents from the top of the three tripods to enter the Seventh Prince's Mansion, and outsiders criticize the council much less ...For Lao Qi, this is definitely a happy event for earning a reputation without being too publicized."

When the fifth prince said this, he glanced at the sixth son who was full of resentment, but he didn't say anything else.

——Thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace... Since the father gave the rain and dew to Lao Qi, who would he leave the thunder to?
