The next day, the martial arts examination officially began.＝＝＝23wx＝
After the drum sounded three times in the morning, the streets were filled with people. Countless candidates poured into various locations and began to register, which kicked off this triennial event.
Unlike the Tongsheng Examination, Langya County has far more than one registration point.
Yang Ji stood in the crowd, looking at the candidates on the street who were as numerous as those who crossed the river. He was filled with emotion. Every three years, every three years, the martial arts examinations held every few years have determined the fate of many people.
Among this turbulent crowd, I don’t know how many candidates have failed time and time again and were frustrated, but in the end they still took part in the martial arts examinations again and again with full hope.
Only by climbing up again and again can the value of the martial arts examination be shown. For ordinary people, a single "martial arts student" may be an existence that is difficult to look up to, but for the imperial court, it is only the lowest level and does not matter.
The presence.
Only by passing the "Wu Xiucai" exam can one enter the court's discernment, and the door to an official career can be considered open. Although it is not enough to be a prime minister or a prince, it can already mobilize the troops of the court, and is well-received among the sects.
Pay attention to.
"Scholar, scholar..., I will first pass the martial arts examination, and then I will pass the martial arts examination, and then I can be on an equal footing with Yang Xuanlan, and I will no longer be bound by him."
Yang Ji closed his eyes slightly and made secret calculations.
He had already calculated in his mind that if he passed the examination as a martial arts scholar and waited another three years to take the examination at the martial arts examination level, he would never catch up with Yang Xuanlan.
But everything has a glimmer of hope. In order to select talents and give real geniuses a way to stand out and be promoted quickly, the imperial court deliberately separated the scholar test, the promotion test, and the Jinshi test.
In this way, as long as you are truly capable, you can quickly stand out from your peers and enter the court's sight. The court has always attached great importance to such talents, and it is not a problem to be appointed as a general or a candidate.
What happened at Wusheng Station this time made Yang Ji understand a truth. If he doesn't improve his strength as soon as possible and reach an equal level with him, suppression like this will never stop.
Unknowingly, Yang Ji walked to the registration point.
"Next!"
…
Yang Ji lifted his robe and walked over. Behind the table, two officials from the imperial court were responsible for registration, one was an armored military official and the other was a civil servant in blue robe.
"Name?"
The civil servant holding the ink pen said without raising his head.
"Yang Ji."
Yang Ji said softly. This sentence immediately caused the two officials to raise their heads.
"Yang Ji, which Yang Ji?"
the civil servant asked.
"The poplar of the wood poplar, the era of the era."
Yang Ji handed over his household registration number and household guide and said calmly.
The civil servant who wrote the document took a look at the transfer loan and immediately smiled slightly: "Pingchuan City, Yang Ji... It turns out that you are really a disciple of the historian. Unexpectedly, you even participated in the martial arts examination."
"Students are polite."
Yang Ji bowed his hands and saluted.
The historian retired and returned to his hometown, which had a great influence not only on Pingchuan County, but also on the entire Langya County. The civil servants and officials were of the same line, and they naturally had a great affinity with Yang Ji.
"Haha. It's a good thing that you are good at both civil and military affairs. The competition in the martial arts examination is fierce this time. You have to work harder."
The green-robed civil servant grabbed the ink pen, dipped it in, and prepared to write Yang Ji's name on the name book.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, in a flash, a hand stretched out, and its five fingers clamped the red pen in the hand of Qingpao Wenpao like iron pliers. Right next to it, a military attache wearing armor and fully armed had a gloomy face. .Staring at Yang Ji:
"I received a notice that this candidate cannot take part in the martial arts examination!"
"What!"
The green-robed civil servant's shoulders trembled, with a look of shock on his face.
"coming."
Yang Ji also felt nervous: "Sure enough, it won't go so smoothly."
After receiving the notice from the elders at Tieguan Mountain that he had been kicked off the list of candidates for the martial arts examination, Yang Ji already knew that this matter would not be so easy.
Although Yang Ji received help from his sect, he moved his residence and took part in the martial arts examination in the name of the local government. However, it was obvious that Yang Xuanlan was well prepared and had laid out measures early to prevent himself from participating in the martial arts examination.
"Master Li, what's going on?"
The green-robed civil servant's face quickly darkened, and he looked unhappy:
"The martial arts examination is a major event for the imperial court. What does it mean that he cannot participate in the martial arts examination? Are you violating the imperial court's laws?"
"Wait a minute!"
The armored military attache also had a serious look on his face: "Master Zheng, I am not deliberately making things difficult for him. About half a month ago, I received a notice that one of the candidates in this martial arts examination had bad moral character and has been disqualified. This time Anyone can take the exam, but he can't."
As the armor-bearing military attache spoke, he stretched out his index finger and pointed at Yang Jidao in front of him.
"Master Li, are you kidding me? How can a historian's disciples have bad moral character? Or do you have any objections to our students of the literary lineage?"
The green-robed civil servant's face became increasingly unhappy.
Shi Shi is the "Emperor Master" and the highest-ranking cultural leader in the entire Langya County. Yang Ji is his disciple. If he didn't find other reasons, it might be more believable, but if he actually says that his moral character is defective, Shi Shi will accept it. Should a scum be a disciple?
This remark is simply a slap in the face to all the literary and moral scholars in Langya County.
"Sciences can be killed but not humiliated." Civil servants may not be as powerful as military attaches, but the integrity of scribes makes them fearless of any power.
"Sir, you said that the student's conduct is defective. Do you have any evidence for this?"
Yang Ji also asked at this time.
"Hmph! There is something wrong with your character, but this is an order from the imperial court. Mr. Zheng, don't be angry. This matter is not against your literary lineage. Half a month ago, I received a document from the imperial court saying that there was a candidate Being disqualified, all examiners should pay attention. This matter was stamped by General Langya himself, how could there be any mistake?"
The armored military attache spoke slowly and calmly.
"Can I see that document?"
The green-robed civil servant said solemnly.
This matter involves the imperial court's new General Langya, who is also the examiner of this martial arts examination. This is really beyond people's expectations.
The civil and military officers and the military attachés belong to different systems. The information received by the military attachés is not received by the civilian officials. In terms of status, General Langya's status among the military attaches is not necessarily worse than that of the historian.
And at the end of the day, what is being held this time is the martial arts examination, which is a grand event for military attachés. The main function of civil servants here is to check household loans and household introductions, and play a supporting role.
The other party moved out the new General Langya, even if all the civil servants had objections, it would be useless.
"If you want to see it, I'll let you see it."
The armored military attache sneered and put his hand towards the drawer under the table.
Yang Ji looked solemn and looked at him intently. If Yang Xuanlan really used his authority to issue such a prohibition order, then I am afraid that the letters of recommendation he obtained from the great scholars in Langya City would be useless.
As long as Yang Xuanlan uses a procrastination trick to delay the deadline for reporting names in the martial arts department, he can let the matter go unsolved. Even if Yang Ji later dismisses the charges against him and proves his innocence, it will be useless.
If this is the case, then there is only one last method left. But once it is really used, Yang Xuanlan will be alerted, and it will really affect his own plan. In this martial arts examination, he will be greatly affected.
disadvantage.
laugh!
As the two of them watched, the armored military attache confidently opened the drawer and pulled out a thin book with a red cover. After flipping through a few pages, he found Yang Ji's name and was about to point it out to the two of them. Suddenly——
"Um?"
The armored military attaché glanced at the name on the notebook, his expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but whisper: "How is that possible?"
This strange look immediately caught the attention of the two people.
The green-robed civil servant poked his head in and looked over immediately.
Although Yang Ji was standing opposite, a few tables away, and the angle was not very good, at such a close distance, Yang Ji could already see clearly with his martial arts skills.
On the thin book with a red cover, Yang Ji's name was clearly written in red ink on the first line. But unlike what the armored military attache said, Yang Ji's name was clearly marked with a big "x", and then
A row of small words next to it: Reference allowed!
There are two strong and powerful characters "Wang Tai" written next to it.
“It’s really done well.”
Seeing this signature, Yang Ji felt light in his heart. A knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Wang Tai kept his word. Yang Ji only visited him yesterday, but he didn't expect that he would have done everything right today.
Wang Tai, one of the examiners of the martial arts examination, was also a general in the imperial court. In terms of qualifications, his reputation was higher than that of Yang Xuanlan. He came forward in this matter. There was basically no problem with Yang Ji's participation in the martial arts examination.
"How is it? Mr. Li, can this candidate still take part in the martial arts examination?"
The green-robed civil servant also saw the words above clearly and smiled.
"This is impossible! The order I received before was clearly..., what on earth is going on?"
Looking at the signatures on the notebook, the armored military attache was also confused. Sometimes it was General Langya's order, and sometimes it was General Wang Tai's order, which confused him as well.
However, the court's practice has always been that new orders overwrite old orders. No matter what orders he has received before, he can only accept the decision on the name list at the moment.
"Yang Ji, I'd better register you."
The green-robed civil servant smiled slightly, grabbed the pen, and continued to register him. But this time, the armored military attaché did not stop him.
Despite his doubts, the armored military attache was not allowed to give Yang Ji the token to participate in the martial arts examination.
"Thank you two adults."
Yang Ji took the token, smiled slightly, then turned and left. With the token in hand, the matter this time was basically a done deal.
Even if Yang Xuanlan thought about it afterwards, it would be impossible for him to refute it.
"Now, there is only one last thing left - defeat all opponents and win over Wu Xiucai!"
A bright light flashed across Yang Ji's eyes, then he turned and left.
He didn't notice that not far away, two eyes watched his back and slowly left.
"You look pretty capable, but you just suffered a loss at his hands?"
In the two-story restaurant, a young man with a tiger-like waist and a wolf-like waist, wild eyes, and full of explosive power, who looked very difficult to deal with, said calmly. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, and the novel will be updated. Good update faster!
