Chapter 258
"Of course, Xiao Chenyu is not shameless, why can't he participate in the ring competition!" Jingyue can't do such a big battle without Xiao Chenyu's participation.

"What about you, miss?" Leng Shuang didn't think that her miss would stand by and watch.

"I didn't see your lady, I'm preparing! The first round is a competition for a first-rank university scholar. I'm sure I don't have your share, but the second round is a first-rank food officer. I must win! How about it? Like a down-and-out scholar!" After Jingyue changed her appearance, she put on her clothes and walked around in front of her servant girl and asked.

"Like, but Miss, are you poor enough to participate in the ring competition?" Leng Yu asked.

"Yes, just watch!" Jingyue said confidently.

Ten days later, the competition officially began, and the chief examiner was the current emperor, and the arena was placed in front of the newly opened Qibao Building in the capital.

Most of the people who participated in the first competition were civil servants and disciples, and under the watchful eyes of the public, talents and learning could not be adulterated, and the emperor asked questions at will. My brother is here, the position of a bachelor of this rank already has a master.

However, Ling Lanjie, the crown prince, King Jin, and even King Ming, who also participated in the competition, did not aspire to be academicians, food officials, and salt officials. What they wanted was the victory in the last competition, which was the position of first-rank general.

As everyone expected, the first-rank Grand Bachelor was obtained by Su Yongdao from the Su Mansion, and he really deserved his name.

In the second competition, the written test was held in Qibaolou, the farming test was conducted in the field, and there were also food-related questions specially listed by the emperor. Jingyue's pseudonym Tian Le was exceptionally allowed by the emperor to participate in the competition.

"Qizou Emperor, this person is a commoner, how can he be qualified to participate in the competition?" Ling Lanjie glanced at Jingyue and said dissatisfied.

"My dear dears, you don't know something. When I went on tour in low clothes, I met an old farmer who was proficient in farming and knowledgeable. I wanted him to enter the court for the benefit of the people of Xi Dynasty, but he was old. He is already tall, walking is difficult, and there is only one young grandson under his knees. I promised him that day that if he could train his grandson to be an expert in farming, I would allow his grandson to be a grain officer. This is my promise to my people, So give him a chance today, if he has the ability, then he can become an official according to his own ability, if he doesn't have the ability, then he should go home and farm." The emperor said sternly.

The king of a country has said so, and the ministers are not good at objecting.

Ling Lanjie also thought that a poor boy from the mountains would not be able to cause much trouble, and even if he had some skills, it would not be so easy to become a first-rank food official.

However, Ling Lanjie was a little caught off guard by the development of the matter, because this poor boy named Tian Le really had some skills, and he passed all the way, and was actually appointed by the emperor as a first-grade grain officer.This was really unexpected, but the imperial decree has been issued and cannot be changed.

After the competition, Jingyue took the imperial decree and happily stayed in a small inn.She can't go back to Yue Palace yet, because Ling Lanjie, the crown prince, King Jin and King Ming are all eyeing her right now.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?" Leng Shuang, who turned into a Jingyue book boy, asked in a low voice.

"Go to the palace!" Jingyue turned around and changed her clothes, and at the same time changed her face.

"Yes!" Leng Shuang didn't ask what she was going to do with the palace, she also changed her clothes and changed her face.

Because Jingyue and Lengshuang changed their faces, Leng Mei and Leng Ye, who secretly protected them, also changed their faces and followed behind them after they reached the street.

The four of them quietly entered the mansion from the back door of Hewang's Mansion, and the housekeeper of Hewang's Mansion had already received Xiao Chenhe's order to take Jingyue and the others to see Xiao Chenhe.

Xiao Chenhe also returned to the capital from Lizhou two days after Xiao Chenyu and Jingyue returned to the capital, and not long after returning to the capital, Xiao Chenyu forced him to memorize a pamphlet about salt officials, As a result, he couldn't eat well or sleep well these days.

"Sister-in-law three, what's the matter with you coming here at this time? My little brother just heard that you are now the first-rank food official of our Xi Dynasty!" Xiao Chenhe said in a low voice.

"Little Hezi, I'm here for the first-rank salt official competition tomorrow. If you fail to become a first-rank salt official, the consequences will be—very—serious. So, I'm here to make up for you!" Jingyue said with a smile.

"Third sister-in-law, can I not go? I swear, I will do whatever you want me to do in the future, there is no difference. But, that salt official, can I not go to the competition?" Xiao Chenhe asked with a wry smile.

"No!" Jingyue directly refused.

A joke, in this competition, her real purpose is to gain the position of a first-class salt official, and the fat meat she got, how could she let it fly away!

Most of the contestants in the third competition were salt officials, but because the emperor and Jingyue used some cheating methods, they helped Xiao Chenhe get the first-grade salt official position.

Of course, whether it is officials or ordinary people, the most important thing is the last competition.Therefore, on the day when the first-rank general was selected, the Qibao building was overcrowded, and the streets and alleys were full of voices of discussion.

However, the selection of the first-rank generals was different from the previous three competitions, and the venue was also chosen in the Royal Martial Arts Field.

"Your Majesty, how are we going to proceed with today's competition?" Ling Lanjie was already a little annoyed that he hadn't won the first three competitions.

Although he can evade the power of those people, he always feels that there is something tricky about getting a first-rank official position for someone who is not himself. No matter what, he must win this last match, and he must firmly hold the military power in his own hands.

"I want to test my sons, so I don't want anyone else to participate!" From the very beginning, the emperor revealed that in the last competition, he would test the crown prince and the newly crowned princes.

Seeing that Ling Lanjie and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs did not say anything, the emperor continued: "Except for the crown prince, none of my sons have experience in leading troops to fight, but as an emperor and prince, he must not only know how to govern the country, but also understand how to lead the country." The method of leading soldiers. Mr. Xue, let them all come over!"

Everyone didn't know that the emperor wanted everyone to come over, but they saw that hundreds of people came out suddenly on the huge training ground, and under the leadership of different people, they stood in three teams.

The soldiers of the first team have silver helmets and are full of energy and majestic. From their expressions, faces and burly bodies, it can be seen that they are the most elite soldiers in the barracks.

The second team is well-behaved, with solemn expressions on their faces. At first glance, they are similar to the soldiers of the first team. However, those who lead soldiers all the year round can tell that this team is slightly inferior to the first team.

Although the clothes of the third team are exactly the same as the first two teams, even laymen can tell that they are obviously a group of stragglers, not to mention fighting, it is the luck of the coach that they do not cause chaos on the battlefield.
