These days, the martial arts of the generals are passed down from male to female, from within to outside. They are passed on by word of mouth. The channels of transmission are extremely narrow. They would rather cut off the inheritance than show it. Li Zhan can get the knowledge of Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

The martial arts passed down from the family are a big advantage.

Gu Yankai was able to show off his family's martial arts, not only because his son failed to live up to expectations and because of the Yongyi Hou Mansion, but also because he felt that Li Zhan was weak and could not achieve anything famous. At most, he could only enter the realm of foundation building and strengthen his body.

Just the body.

Although Gu Yankai considered this, Li Zhan still felt that he owed the Ningyuan Houfu a favor, and thought that he could only help Gu Tingye more in the future.

After Li Zhan obtained the ancestral martial arts from the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, he began to practice martial arts. He even asked Mrs. Sheng to help him build a large iron gun that weighed seventy or eighty kilograms.

Although Mrs. Sheng felt that Li Zhan was of no use and could not dance, she agreed since she saw that he no longer thought about studying hard and exercising and honing his martial arts all day long.

Li Zhan did not go to Xixi Academy for half a year. He practiced martial arts in Sheng Mansion all day long and polished his body. He became much stronger, and his body under his robe had clear muscle lines. Only then did Li Zhan ask Mrs. Sheng to study again.

.

Mrs. Sheng has also discovered the changes in Li Zhan in the past six months. She feels that he is now strong and strong, so she does not stop him. She does not know how talented Li Zhan is in martial arts, but she knows that he is a scholar. Since there is no need to worry about Li Zhan's physical weakness, she can

He readily agreed to Li Zhan's request.

Li Zhan loaded the books and the big iron gun on the carriage and set out on the road to study again. Since then, a strange scene appeared in Xixi Academy. Li Zhan, a popular student, actually danced with an iron gun in the academy every morning and evening.

Exercise has attracted countless people to watch.

Li Zhan was neither humble nor arrogant, and didn't care about the strange looks from the outside world. He studied and practiced martial arts every day, rain or shine, and lived a happy life.

The teachers at the academy were very open-minded. They knew that Li Zhan had suffered a serious illness in the summer, and that what he was doing now was just to strengthen his body. He did not stop Li Zhan from practicing martial arts, and even encouraged Li Zhan.

Li Zhan spent his days studying and practicing martial arts like this day by day. One year came quickly, and Li Zhan finally prepared to take the scientific examination and participated in the interpretation test held in August.

In the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination was held once a year in the beginning, but now it is held every two years after officials ascended the throne. The scientific examination procedure basically implements a three-level examination system of interpretation examination, provincial examination and palace examination.

The Jie Examination, also known as the Fa Jie Examination, is held by the local government in the autumn of the scientific examination year (Qiu Wei). The examination starts on August 15 and lasts for three days. Those who pass the examination are called Gongshi or Juren, and the chief examiner

The petition will be sent to the Ministry of Rites (tribute), and after being reviewed and approved, they will go to the capital to participate in the provincial examination hosted by the central department in the first month of the following year. The provincial examination is also called the examination of the Ministry of Rites. It is named after being presided over by the Ministry of Rites of Shangshu Province. In the spring of the following year

The Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites is held (in the spring), and the examination is held on a selected day, and the examinations are divided into subjects for three consecutive days. Finally, those who pass the provincial examination will be notified to the imperial court by the Ministry of Rites, and enter the palace examination presided over by the emperor. After the imperial examination, the imperial court will publish the imperial list, and the candidates will be admitted according to the subjects and

Depending on the level, statuses such as "qualification", "originality", and "same birth" are awarded respectively. The top three in the palace examination are the number one, second, and top pick that we often hear in dramas. Because the palace examination is personally conducted by the emperor

All candidates who pass the imperial examination will become disciples of the emperor.

At the beginning of the palace examination in the Song Dynasty, the candidates who ranked at the bottom would be deposed. There was also an incident in the dynasty when Zhang Yuan, a failed scholar, rebelled against the Song Dynasty and defected to Xia. The "Yan Yi Yi Mou Lu" by Wang Li of the Song Dynasty also recorded that Zhang Yuan "left" that year.

The "Xiazhou" incident taught the Song Dynasty a bloody lesson, so in the second year of Jiayou, the final elimination admission system implemented in the imperial examination and the imperial examination was reformed. Anyone who won the imperial examination would be awarded the title of Jinshi, and there would be no further admissions in the subsequent imperial examinations.

Candidates are dismissed.

"Mother Fang, are all Zhan'er's things ready?!"

Li Zhan's entrance into the scientific examination was a big event, so Mrs. Sheng would not let down her guard. She asked her most capable mother, Fang, to personally prepare the pens, inks, paper, inkstones and food required for Li Zhan's entrance. She tried her best not to make any mistakes so that Li Zhan would not be

The influence of other factors was even more serious than Sheng Hong's scientific examination.

"Old madam, don't worry, there are no problems or omissions. I just checked it!"

Mother Fang's face was full of smiles. She was Mrs. Sheng's ration girl. She had grown up with Mrs. Sheng since she was a child. She was the most caring person whom Mrs. Sheng relied on. She never made any mistakes in doing things.

"That's good!"

Mrs. Sheng nodded with relief, but frowned in a flash and said again uneasily.

"No, I'm still worried, please go check it again!"

Mother Fang couldn't help but burst out laughing when she looked at Old Mrs. Sheng who was concerned but confused. She also made a rare joke with Old Mrs. Sheng.

"Even if I check it three times, you won't be at ease! Otherwise, I will bring the things over and you will check them yourself?"

Mother Fang was joking at first, but she didn't expect Mrs. Sheng to take it seriously. She nodded seriously and said that's what she would do.

"Then bring it!"

Mother Fang looked at Old Mrs. Sheng in surprise, shook her head helplessly and smiled, then went to get the things prepared for Li Zhan, and asked Old Mrs. Sheng to check them in person.

Li Zhan looked at Old Mrs. Sheng who was fidgeting and comforted her.

"Grandma, Mother Fang is a very careful person and can never make mistakes. Why do you have to work so hard!"

Old Mrs. Sheng glared angrily at her grandson who was eating dessert and laughing at the side, and said angrily.

"Of course I know that Mother Fang is reliable, but aren't I so nervous because of you, a little white-eyed wolf? It's better for you to be a good person and watch the fun, and instead of helping, you make fun of me instead!"

Li Zhan did not admit his mistake, he looked at ease and said proudly.

"Who asked grandma to love me? You don't have to worry about these things. Just leave them to grandma!"

Li Zhan and Old Mrs. Sheng have been getting along for a long time, almost two years. Li Zhan has also regarded Old Mrs. Sheng as his real grandmother. She is no longer so rude and polite, and is very close. That's why Li Zhan will be with Old Mrs. Sheng.

With such a tired face in front of me, all this is to make the old lady happy and entertain her with colorful clothes.

Fang's mother hasn't come back yet, but Sheng Hong is here. For such a big event as Li Zhan's scientific examination, he still has to come over to encourage him and explain his experience in the examination room, such as how to answer questions, when to rest, how to review questions, and how to adjust his mentality, one by one.

He told Li Zhan that these are experiences worth a thousand dollars, which Sheng Hong gained by fighting in the examination room.

Li Zhan wrote down one by one. Although it was not his first time to take part in the imperial examination, every era had different rules. He patiently listened to Sheng Hong's explanation without feeling bored at all.
