After Shao Song

Chapter 120 Chapter [-]: Prelude to the martial arts competition

By the way, what Zhao Guanjia said is correct. Martial arts examinations began during the period of Wu Zetian, and also existed in the Song Dynasty. Even Wang Yan, one of the eighteen kings of Jianyan, was born as a martial arts scholar.However, if you look at the extent to which the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, you can imagine the value of martial arts scholars.

However, everything is developing and changing. Jingkang Shai made the scholar-bureaucrats who were intoxicated in the prosperity of the Song Dynasty understand the importance of force.When the rulers blindly despised warriors, and even those who served as soldiers were almost exiled with tattoos, of course martial arts were not taken seriously, but Emperor Jianyan spent all day either in the military camp or leading the charge in the war.Issuing national debt saves money and guarantees military pay. The social status of soldiers and even martial arts students has improved rapidly in the past ten years. It seems that it is acceptable to start a martial arts scholarship at this time.

Anyway, Hu Yin has been extremely dissatisfied with the style of many veterans of the Imperial Army Zuojun, and urgently needs them to study and even replace them with Wang Shixiong and Yueyun-style young professional soldiers on a large scale.

Coincidentally, in areas where there are large-scale garrisons, the chief officers have this demand, and they have written letters expressing their support for the selection of military jinshi. Even Li Gang, who drinks tea all day long and waits for the envoys of Xiliao to serve him, can't help but write memorials After expressing his views on Wu Jinshi, Zhao Jiu hurriedly wrote Mi Zha again to Wu Jie Quduan and Li Yanxian after reading it. Everything else is easy to talk about. Don’t let Li Xianggong interfere in the military. Any documents about military transfers, All are regarded as chaos.

However, this time the coexistence of civil and military examinations is already a certainty. After the chaos, the city of Yanjing, which has been under construction for three years, has experienced a population migration climax for the first time. All the inns are eager to be full, and they come to take the exams for Tokyo imperial students and martial arts students. There was an endless stream.

This reflects the rationality of the old rules in urban defense planning. Many small farmhouses are not far from Yanjing Taixue and Wushu, and the towns and cities are intertwined.This time, many families packed up their vacant wing rooms and rented them to students who came to take exams. Some wealthy families directly hired cooks, servants and helpers. It was very lively for a while, and prices soared. It was even more expensive than Zhao Guan's family. The arrival promoted the economic growth of Yanjing even more obviously.

It is inevitable that the Tai students who came to take the exam will gather together, whether they are from Yanjing or Tokyo, to criticize current affairs and discuss state affairs.As for martial arts students, the focus is always on Mr. Yue Xiaohou who has made a meritorious service this time.

A young man who was dissatisfied with his weak years was sent out as an envoy to another country, leading more than a thousand troops and almost destroying a country. This is a legend that only exists in history books. Now it actually happened in this country. North Korea, how can these young and strong young men who are determined to join the army and serve the country not be eager to go?

After Zhao Guan's family heard about it, based on the principle that a son-in-law should serve his father-in-law, they slipped Yue Yun from Dengzhou to preside over the preliminary election for the martial arts examination.

After all, martial arts requires the coexistence of force and strategic thinking. Zhao Kuo and Mang Han were not on the imperial court's employment list. In view of the actual situation of the founding of the Yan Dynasty, not only the students from the two martial arts schools were allowed to participate in the martial arts examination this time, but Some low-level officers of the Seven Imperial Armies can also participate as long as they are recommended by the commander at the first level, and the number of admissions is much higher than that of liberal arts scholars.

As a result, Han Shizhong began to curse people in the imperial camp Zuojun again. Without him, the total number of Zuojun participating in martial arts examinations was less than one-third of his former army.What makes King Han Qin even more depressed is that his precious eldest son who was only over forty actually only likes to read books and does not like to practice martial arts. He is really asked to beat him with a stick, but he is reluctant and has to face the prospect of another fight with his wife. risk.

And the second son is only five years old, when will he be able to watch him come to the Xuanwu Sect and become the number one martial artist?

With no other choice, he had no choice but to extend his devil's claws to Wang Shixiong again and said: "You kid, you lost to Yue Yun back then, but you fell behind this step. Now look how much you have fallen behind? This is such a good opportunity, if you seize it again Don’t stop, but really don’t go out and say that I was the one who brought you out.”

Yes, 28-year-old Wang Shixiong also signed up for this martial arts examination. Although it is said that with his military merit and combat effectiveness, he can be promoted normally.

But you have to talk about seeking truth from facts that officials emphasize. Wang Shixiong smiled bitterly and said, "King Qin loves you so much, I don't know, but there are so many people taking part in the Jinshi examination this time. Naturally, I am not afraid of horseback riding and archery, but when it comes to managing soldiers In terms of strategy, I may not be better than everyone."

Although Han Shizhong has studied for a few years, his essence has not changed. Holding the jade belt, he said dismissively, "I didn't know ten big characters back then. It's not the same. I killed the Xixia son-in-law and captured the traitor Fang La in the south of the Yangtze River. It's a pity that I was killed by that Xin family trash... Forget it, what are you talking about? Sigh, the exam is to test some strategies for governing the army, or you are not called a Jinshi, so don't you know how to study? Wait, feelings, are you a kid? Are you going for the number one prize?" Otherwise, he said that he has won everyone.

The hunky-backed Han Shizhong immediately slapped Wang Shixiong on the shoulder, who was just as hunky but even more muscular than he was a year ago, and said with approval: "Okay, okay, men must have this ambition, and the country will definitely have to use troops in the future. If you serve as my vanguard general, you will indeed have more An illustrious reputation.”

To be honest, Yue Yun's success is certainly due to his talent and extraordinary ability, but if he were not Yue Fei's biological son and the consort of Zhao Guan's family, he would not be able to gain such a big strategic advantage.Wang Shixiong's wife is not a princess, and he himself is not Han Shizhong's biological son or godson. If he wants to achieve greater success, he also needs the blessing of the golden status of the first martial arts champion in Jianyan year.

But there’s nothing to say about this. A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a student who doesn’t want to get perfect marks is naturally not a good student either.

When the autumn wind picks up again and the leaves on the land of Hebei turn slightly yellow, the Tianjin seaport construction has finally completed the first phase of the project, and the mud dredging of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has also achieved the expected results-at least the grain transportation route from Tokyo to Yanjing can be guaranteed.

The Zhao official family officially issued a decree to merge Wuqing and the three surrounding counties into Tianjin Prefecture. Yue Fan deservedly became the first magistrate of Tianjin Prefecture. Cui Bangbi, Li Bao's retired commander, became the general magistrate. Shi Quan, who was born in Jiangnan Gongge, also became the general magistrate. Maritime Recorder joined the army - more importantly, Zhao Guan's family kept their word. His daughter and son-in-law's family were pardoned and returned to their place of origin, but the next generation could no longer serve as officials.Xue Qiang was extremely grateful for this and wished he could build a golden body for his father-in-law and the official family.

Yue Fan was ordered to preside over the first voyage after the opening of the port - of course, this voyage was also experimental due to the monsoon.

However, for Yue Fan, the completion of the down-to-earth investment and construction work finally allowed him to get rid of the label of Yue Fei's younger brother, and no longer needed to bear huge psychological pressure.

But human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same. At the same moment, other people's psychological pressure is a bit high.The famous magistrate Lu Xi had just beaten his nephew, but before he could get over his anger, he said, "Shuzi, do you know you are wrong?"

"You are wrong, I shouldn't have angered my uncle." Lu You, who had a bruised nose and swollen eyes, replied with a very correct attitude, even though he was kneeling at the moment.

"What about the imperial examination?" Lu Xi became angry when he saw the boy's righteous and awe-inspiring look.

"You have already decided that I am going to take the martial arts examination. If uncle is still angry, you can beat me again."

Lu Xi felt that he could no longer communicate with his nephew, who had been known as a child prodigy since he was a child.Tell me, now is the age of peace, why do you want to be a warrior?Isn’t it good to study hard and become an official?Besides, you are the same material!
Isn't it because there were some twists and turns in your marriage? Your sister-in-law offended your fiancée Logan's parents and the two families broke off the engagement?
How old are you? Good men are everywhere. When you become successful and famous in the future, why worry about not having a good wife?For this reason, we must change our ambitions!
"From today on, you are not allowed to leave the house. I can't control you anymore. I will write a letter to your father and ask him to reason with you." This was Lu Min's last stubbornness.

But Lu Nan soon discovered that he had brought it upon himself. Why did I force you to learn fencing since you were a child?This kid actually ran away unprepared in the middle of the night.

The second update is asking for rewards and monthly tickets.

　For a large family with a poetry and book heirloom, such as the Lu family, the difference between a son and a nephew is not very big. The inheritance of the family line is the most important, so no one can say anything when Lu Xi fights Lu You.

　　Lu You is good at writing poems, but he is also very fierce. However, he has his own reasons for doing so.
