I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 104 School Examination and Talent

Blood had just been shed and people had been killed in the school grounds. This chilling atmosphere also made the noble disciples feel more at ease during the school exams.

It has been stipulated before that there is at least one person from each family, and there is no limit on the number of people. Therefore, many children like Zhu Daoxin and other children from the same family secretly came to the school to sign up. Even many children from rich families and warriors learned about this and also Came here secretly to get a chance.

Fortunately, the scribes got the order in a hurry, so the review was not very strict, so these people had the opportunity to enter the exam.

Due to the hasty preparations for this examination, we can only follow the usual martial arts examination process and classify it into three stages.

The first stage is the field examination.The field exam is divided into two subjects. The first exam is "Arrow and Horse", that is, riding archery and infantry archery.

The riding bow used in the riding archery test is 3 force (one force is equal to 10 kilograms), which is equivalent to a weight of 30 kilograms. The riding bow used in the riding archery test is 3 force, which is equivalent to a weight of 30 kilograms. The distance is 200 meters and there are three targets. , the requirement is that the shot only needs to be 3-25 steps away from the target, and there is no requirement for ring skills.

After the mounted archery, it is time to move on to the rifle. The bow used in the infantry archery test is heavier than that of the mounted archer, weighing 50 kilograms. The target is 2 meters high and 50 centimeters wide. Candidates must use standard movements to design, otherwise the results will be invalid.

If you hit one of the three arrows in the above two tests, you will be judged as "passed", but you must pass both before you can enter the next selection.

As the saying goes, a person who is poor in literature but rich in martial arts can have the ability to learn horseback riding and archery, but without strong financial support, he will not be able to support the training costs of the entire process.And many direct descendants are like Jia Baoyu, who don't even have any skills, let alone horseback riding and archery. They just come here to go through the motions and show off their faces.

Now I see that not only must I be able to ride a horse, but I must also shoot an arrow immediately. This stumps these delicate people with faces like bitter gourds. The key is that Zhu Youxiao specially arranged more than 30 people who trained with him in the fence as supervisors. Naturally, there is no Opportunity for bribery.

So in this first round alone, more than 500 people were eliminated from the examination team of more than 200 people.

Among those who have passed the exam, there are those who stand out and stand out from the crowd, and Zhu Daoxin is one of them. He practices martial arts all year round, and archery is no problem. In both exams, he hit three of three arrows, which caused a burst of exclamations in the school grounds.

In addition, Guo Zuoguang, the son of Wuding Marquis Guo Yingqi, and others also performed well. There was even a person whose identity could not be found, but only known as Fang Rugui. He was even more powerful. Not only did he hit three arrows, but every arrow hit the target. Breathtaking.

After finishing this test in the second round, we entered the second test in the outfield - Jiyong.

The skill and courage test is equivalent to a physical fitness test, which is also divided into three items. The first item is to pull a hard bow. The lightest one is 80 kilograms, and the heaviest one is more than 120 kilograms and less than 150 kilograms. In order to avoid unnecessary injuries, candidates are not allowed to try 150 kilograms. A hard bow weighing more than [-] pounds.

The second test is called Wu Da Dao, which also has four levels.

Those weighing more than 120 kilograms are "No. 120", 100 kilograms are "No. 80", [-] kilograms are "No. [-]", and [-] kilograms are "No. [-]".Candidates need to raise the sword above their head from the left and right sides first, and then display a series of movements such as dancing swords and flowers on the front and back chest. If they complete it in one time, they will be qualified.

The third test involves lifting large rocks.It is also divided into four levels, with weights above 300 kilograms being "No. 300", weight over 250 Jin being "No. 200", weight over [-] Jin being "No. [-]", and weight over [-] Jin being "No. [-]".

The test requires the examinee to lift the stone to the stomach position, and then turn the left, right and bottom sides of the stone once. Completing it in one go is considered as passing. This action also has a special name called "Xianyin".

This kind of physical fitness test is relatively easy for those who can pass the first test. However, three consecutive tests require too much physical strength. Many people are already exhausted by the third test, so this test is There were also a lot of people eliminated, more than [-] people.

So after the outfield exam was completed, only about 100 people could enter the infield.

The internal examination was different from the external examination. It was a literary examination, in which they selected two from the "Seven Books of Martial Arts" and asked them to write strategies.But Zhu Youxiao didn't want to go to such trouble and directly formulated two questions by himself.One is what to do if you lead an outpost and encounter an enemy outside, and the other is how to use it better now that firearms and artillery are prevalent.

These two questions are still difficult, one is more practical and the other is more theoretical.Many candidates have a headache and don’t know how to answer.

Although Zhu Daoxin was embarrassed when he saw the topic, he thought about it carefully and found that he was not incapable of doing it. Although he was not taken seriously in the government, he usually read a lot of history books and military books. He also liked to delve into war affairs. After a brief thought, he started to write. .

Zhu Youxiao looked at the candidates below. Some of them looked bitter and didn't know what to do. Some of them scratched their heads and thought about it for a long time after writing a few sentences.

But he didn't care. In the first batch of selections, he chose a wide range and the threshold was very low, and he deliberately gave many people opportunities.

But as the so-called "easy entry and strict exit" means that the exam threshold is low and there are many candidates, only through this strict content can we select the talents we like.

But after a while, the time for two sticks of incense was up, and someone immediately began to collect the examination papers, and then handed them over to the generals of the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the scribes of the Beijing Ying Rongzheng Office to start marking.

The first question on Defending the Enemy is free to be graded by the general officer. Zhu Youxiao also gave a rough answer to the second question. The clerk only needs to draw a circle to give points. Of course, if he encounters outstanding ones, he can also submit them to the emperor for review.

Not long after, two groups of people took over to make corrections, and combined with the outfield results, the results and rankings were quickly obtained. There were more than [-] people from A, B, C, and III, and they were submitted to Zhu Youxiao for review.

Zhu Youxiao opened the roster and saw that No. 1 in the first class was Guo Zuoguang, the son of Marquis Wuding, the second was Zhu Weixian, the son of Marquis Funing, and the third was Chen Shijun, the son of Marquis Taining, so he called the three to come forward.These three people had been arranged to wait for a long time. When they saw Zhu Youxiao receiving them, they quickly went to the platform to pay homage to the emperor.

"You are very good. It seems that there are many talented people among the nobles. Chen Liangbi, it seems that a tiger father has no dog son. You have taught your son well, and I will reward you."

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew that this was obviously a related household. Now that Chen Liangbi wanted to take up the banner of reform, Zhu Youxiao would naturally sell him a favor.

Upon hearing this, Chen Liangbi quickly bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to ask for a reward. This time I mishandled a minor official. I hope your Majesty will punish you severely. I just hope that the dog can do the work of the dog and horse in front of your Majesty in the future and serve the court."

"You have indeed disappointed me this time. The punishment is certain and I will not be unfair. If you don't talk about it now, your son will stay with me from now on and practice martial arts with me."

Chen Liangbi looked happy when he heard this, and immediately gave Chen Shijun serious instructions:

"You must work hard in the future and don't be lazy, otherwise I won't be the first to spare you."

Zhu Youxiao was also happy to watch this performance. After all, he had just experienced chaos, and it was still important to win people's hearts.Then he turned his attention to the other two people.But just as he was about to ask, he saw someone shouting in the school grounds:
"Your Majesty, someone is deceiving you. Zhu Weixian on the platform is not from Funinghou's house at all. Your Majesty, please check carefully."

"Who's making a noise?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at the direction of the sound in confusion and asked Wei Zhongxian to send someone to see what was going on.

It didn't take long for someone to report.

"Your Majesty, the man just now is the legitimate son of the Marquis of Funing. He also passed the external examination today, but got a C grade in the internal examination. Suddenly he heard people around him say that No. 2 in the A examination was also the son of the Marquis of Funing, which made him confused. Continuously, he said that the Marquis of Funing only has one son, and the people on the platform must be fake."

There is such a thing. As soon as he said this, everyone on the platform looked at the so-called "Zhu Weixian", wanting to see his explanation.But this "Zhu Weixian" did not argue. He just bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said without changing his expression:
"Your Majesty, the son of Marquis Funing is right. I did fake my identity in order to take the exam. Your Majesty, please punish me."

After saying that, he stopped talking. Wei Zhongxian was the first to react and shouted loudly:

"Bold, who are you? How dare you deceive me and do such a bold thing."

When Wei Zhongxian asked, the man revealed the truth.It turned out that this person was actually the son of Zhu Chunchen. Seeing that the exam was rushed and the entrance examination was not very strict, because the Marquis of Funing also had the surname Zhu, he pretended to be the son of the Marquis of Funing and took the exam. He himself was He is also well-equipped in both civil and military skills. Unexpectedly, he won No. 2 this time.

Everyone present looked at each other, wondering how this drama could have happened. It was difficult to decide for a moment. Only Chen Liangbi, the Marquis of Taining, knew in his heart that he could not keep him. Zhu Chunchen had always been against him, and today he was even more in trouble. He narrowly won today, so he put Zhu Chunchen was imprisoned, completely overthrowing Cheng Guogong's lineage.

If Zhu Daoxin was appreciated by the emperor, wouldn't it give them a chance to make a comeback? But now that the emperor is here, he can't get angry and asked.

"Do you know that it is a capital crime to deceive the emperor and ignore your superiors? Duke Cheng's lineage has been expelled from the nobility. The emperor's grace has not harmed his family. You don't care about the emperor's favor, so you dare to make mistakes."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Daoxin immediately knelt down to Zhu Youxiao and said:

"What Taining Marquis said makes sense. My father Zhu Chunchen committed a catastrophic disaster, but as the saying goes, the father's debt must be repaid by the son. Please bear in mind your Majesty's ancestor Cheng Guo's meritorious service to the court and give me a chance to make contributions. I am willing to do so." Starting from the smallest soldier, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao listened to Zhu Daoxin's explanation, and thought to himself, isn't this the plot in the previous life online novel, where the family fell into decline and the bastard rose up? He also became interested in thinking about it. Although this Zhu Daoxin is indeed not qualified to take the exam now, looking at him His grades are indeed good, and he is presumably a talent, and if he is reused, it will also send a signal to the nobles who have been punished by him, indicating that the punishment is only temporary, and that if he is really talented, he will still be reused.

Thinking of this, he stopped Chen Liangbi from questioning again and said:
"Well, I think you are also a talented person, but Zhu Chunchen's crime cannot be forgiven. Since you are determined to repay your father's debt, I will give you a chance. Since you are among the best in Class A, you can join me in the grassland. It’s training in the hurdles, but in the future you can only start from the team, whether you can make achievements or not depends on your destiny.”

When Zhu Daoxin saw that the emperor had given him the opportunity, he immediately leaned over and kowtowed to express his thanks:
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will die for Your Majesty!"

Chen Liangbi saw Zhu Youxiao speaking in front of him, so he didn't say much. Anyway, the days were still long, and he had thousands of opportunities to deal with Zhu Daoxin.

After the matter was over, Zhu Youxiao had no intention of asking anymore. When the results of the school examination came out, he asked more than 60 people in the second class and above to follow him to the grass field for training. The third class can go to the Beijing camp for training. If they are good, , starting from the grassroots level.

After finishing the instructions, I saw that the time was almost Shen Shi (three to five o'clock), so I told everyone to drive back to the palace.

Today's incident at the Jingying Campus has met Zhu Youxiao's expectations. Now he must arrest and interrogate those who are corrupt, spit out the stolen money, then train his own people, and keep the Jingying School firmly in his hands.
