The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 198: Imitate the empress to set up a martial arts competition, and a disciple from a poor family jumps over the Dragon Gate

After the last scientific examination fraud case, Li Chengdao was furious, which triggered a huge reform and reform... and massacre.

The re-examination has been slightly delayed, but it is almost here.

Du Ruhui was in charge of presiding over the examination this time. After hearing this, he nodded and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the examination will be held again in the future. There will be no problems this time. I will guarantee it with my life."

Du Ruhui was extremely confident this time. After Li Chengdao killed 10 people from seven aristocratic families, whoever dared to cause trouble in the college entrance examination was really not afraid of death.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report."

After Du Ruhui finished speaking, Jia Xu stepped forward and said.

"What do you want to say to Wen He? Just tell me."

Li Chengdao said directly that what Jia Xu wanted to report must be very important.

Jia Xu replied: "Your Majesty, in this reorganization of the army, although the generals who have infiltrated into the army from major aristocratic families have been eliminated, the middle and lower-level generals have also lost a lot because of this, and many military positions in the army have been vacant. Condition."

"I think this matter is of great importance and your Majesty should handle it as soon as possible."

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Li Chengdao couldn't help but frown. He would send troops to attack Goguryeo after the end of spring next year. How could he do it if there was a problem with the army at this time?

"The military lacks middle- and grass-roots talents..."

Li Chengdao said to himself, then suddenly his heart moved, and he smiled and said: "In that case, let's start martial arts."

"There are imperial examinations for literature and military examinations for military affairs. They complement each other and can be used to select outstanding generals for the army."

Li Chengdao's "martial arts exercise" surprised everyone.

"Martial arts examination... sounds very feasible, but how does Your Majesty plan to set up the martial arts examination program?"

Changsun Wuji asked curiously.

Li Chengdao recalled the content of the empress's establishment of martial arts, and he already had a draft in his mind, so he said without hesitation: "Riding and archery, martial arts, strength, speed, military training, and formation, these are the six arts of martial arts."

"Those with excellent grades can directly join the army and hold military positions. The titles of number one, number two, and number three are also set up."

He slightly changed the content of the martial arts examination, but it still generally fell within this category.

Hearing Li Chengdao's answer, Changsun Wuji nodded. If there were martial arts exams, then there would be one more way for martial artists to be promoted.

Although this dynasty promotes both civil and military affairs, since ancient times, soldiers who want to be promoted have to go through fighting and obtain a lot of military exploits, which is much more difficult than that of literati.

Li Chengdao's establishment of martial arts examinations undoubtedly added another way for low-level military attachés to be promoted.

"good."

Changsun Wuji nodded, and the others had no objections.

……

It will take some time to prepare for the martial arts examination, but the examination is imminent.

Countless scholars were full of confidence in this examination, and they were all determined to achieve good results.

Li Chengdao personally paid attention to this examination and published the papers himself. Such a gimmick attracted many scholars who were qualified for the examination but were discouraged to come back to participate, so the number of people suddenly increased sharply.

There are nearly three thousand candidates, which shows the enthusiasm for this examination.

Li Chengdao used thunderous means to kill the seven powerful men, fully demonstrating his confidence in rectifying the imperial examination. Therefore, the scholars had no reason not to believe Li Chengdao.This year's examination was more energetic and enthusiastic than in previous years.

……

In front of the Longmen of Gongyuan.

Candidates need to pass through a red gate before entering the examination room. This gate is also called the Dragon Gate by the candidates.

Are the golden scales just an object in the pond? They turn into dragons as soon as they jump over the dragon gate.

After passing through the Dragon Gate, taking the exam, and getting on the list, it will truly be the moment when the wind and cloud meet and transform into a dragon!
Outside the Gongyuan, more than a dozen shadow guards were presiding over the search. Under the indifferent eyes of these shadow guards, many of the scholars were a little nervous, but at the same time they felt much relieved.

"The Shadow Guard proctored the exam. It seems that this exam is really fair."

Wang Xuelin couldn't help but sigh.

Le Xu's eyes were firm and he said: "I believe in your majesty, I will definitely gain some fame this time!"

"Haha! I won't let you go!"

Wang Xuelin said with a laugh, and then the two encouraged each other and walked into the dragon gate together...

After a while, the exam really started.

The Shadow Guards distributed the test paper bags containing the test papers to each scholar, and then stood around the examination room and began to monitor.

The Shadow Guards are so elite. They are completely overqualified for invigilating exams. No small move can escape their notice.

After Le Xu got the test paper, he couldn't wait to open Paper B and read it first. Many other candidates did the same thing as him.

Because Paper B is the test paper drawn up by His Majesty, most scholars want to take a look at the style of Paper B first.

However, after they read the above questions, they were all stunned.

"Is this the question His Majesty asked?"

Swallowing his saliva, Le Xu regretted choosing Paper B because he felt that the first question of Paper B gave him a disincentive.

Those candidates in the examination room originally chose Paper B because of the gimmick of "His Majesty personally drafted the test questions." However, the first question gave them a heavy blow. Even students who were familiar with criminal law were overwhelmed by this. A heavy blow hit the ground and made stars pop out of his eyes.

The first question is like this, how about the following questions?

As a result, a small number of candidates quietly put Paper B back into the paper bag and took out Paper A to continue answering questions.

Of course, there are also some candidates who do not believe in evil and continue to answer the questions out of stubbornness.

Just like Wang Xuelin.

It has to be said that Wang Xuelin's intelligence is really nothing to say. Even if it was the first time he encountered such an unfamiliar topic, after some careful thinking, he deduced the truth that "the wandering monk is a thief" , write the answers and the basis for your inferences on paper.

After finishing writing, he suddenly realized that he didn't want to take the Criminal Division exam, so why should he answer this question?
But even so, Wang Xuelin still set his sights on the next questions. Because of his natural escape, he was very interested in these questions.

After reading the title for a while, he quickly started writing.
