Cai Gong brought six people with him. Although this guy was only a fourth-rank official, because he worked in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, naturally, the generals in the Evil Mountain Camp did not dare to neglect him.
Although the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs can only appoint and remove officers below the fifth rank, there is no guarantee that you will not have any relatives or friends in your family who want to be civil servants, so you have to go through the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This is what the big guys from the Central Organization Department do.
Every official has to serve the same situation.
General Hu Yan led all the generals to line up to welcome him. All he needed was a few primary school students to shout slogans such as "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome." That was not popular in the Yu Dynasty. The key was that there were no primary school students to pull in.
According to the assessment regulations of the Dayu Dynasty, those who are promoted to the sixth rank of general must have at least six levels of preliminary skills. The assessment method is to use hard skills plus sparring.
The hard indicators are that you must pass some measurement-like assessments, such as the height of a jump, the length of a jump, the use of plum blossom pile footwork, how many kilograms of stone dumbbells can be lifted, and other assessment items.
Sparring is the last level, where the officials select a sixth-level strongman to fight with you. If you can beat him, you have passed. The assessment will be held at the training ground of the Mishan Military Camp.
"General Hu Yan, please gather all the generals from Commander Qian and above to watch the assessment together. This shows that the assessment of our Dayu Dynasty is fair and just, and everyone will jointly judge the ability of the person being assessed." Cai Gong said.
General Huyan naturally complied.
"This guy is quite weird today." Tian Gang said in Tang Chun's ear.
"Isn't this the assessment method before?" Tang Chun was stunned and asked.
"Generally, if they come down for an assessment, the subjects of the assessment will generally be the descendants of princes and ministers, or the children of the royal family. That's why they come down so grandly.
Otherwise, they would not come down in person, and we would have to go back and take the assessment ourselves. And there is also a complete set of test routines in the staff department.
Moreover, the assessments are all conducted in secret, so there is no way to mobilize people like this. Brother Tang, do you see anything?" Tian Gang said.
"Is it another trick of the person in the palace who wants to take advantage of this assessment opportunity to kick me out?" Tang Chun asked.
"It's a bit evil. I think, not only will I kick you out, but I'll probably make you look ugly and lose your face. For example, if I make you look bad in front of all the soldiers, you can still be embarrassed in front of them.
Are you messing around in the mountain barracks?" Tian Gang is really a veteran, and he hit the nail on the head.
"I also have a hunch that the person in the palace will not make it easy for me, Tang Chun." Tang Chun nodded, his face a little gloomy.
"Brother, you have to hold on. You still have the Tang family on your shoulders, so you must not be discouraged." Tian Gang patted Tang Chun on the shoulder.
"I will do it. No one wants to hit me." Tang Chun lightly clenched his fists with a determined look on his face.
"Tang Chun, get out of the queue!" At this moment, Cai Gong suddenly shouted.
Tang Chun hurriedly walked up to him to pay homage. However, Cai Gong really wanted to embarrass Tang Chun today. When Tang Chun paid homage, he knelt on one foot and half a knee. This was the standard etiquette for military generals to pay homage to a superior officer, while civil servants had to do both.
Kneeling down is different.
Normally after paying homage, the Shangguan would have to stretch his hand to ask others to get up. However, Cai Gong did not stretch out his hand, but stared at Tang Chun with burning eyes for several minutes before snorting from his nose: "I heard that you just
At 16 years old, according to the rules of our Dayu Dynasty, he is too young to be promoted to the sixth rank of general and not qualified enough.
However, the officials below have reported that you have made great contributions, so the Ministry of Civil Affairs has come down to make an exception this time for the assessment. However, since it is an exception assessment, the intensity of hard targets and sparring must be increased."
"Increasing the size, Chief Cai, how about increasing the size?" General Xiongba asked slightly dissatisfied.
"It's very simple. Various existing assessment items will be increased by 50%." Cai Gong looked indifferent.
"Additional 50% is too much. For example, if you are equipped with a sixth-level martial arts, you can lift a thousand kilograms.
But to give you a plus, wouldn’t it mean that just for lifting stones, you have to lift close to tens of thousands of kilograms to be considered successful in this event?
Also, in terms of high jump, if you jump to a height of eight meters in the sixth rank, you will be considered a pass, but for you, you will have to jump to a height of 12 meters to pass, and..." Xiong Ba hummed.
"Haha, this is the rule of the bureaucracy. Officials who are promoted out of the ordinary are treated like this. There are precedents in the past." Cai Gong smiled like an old fox.
"What's the point of breaking the rules? I just don't want people to pass the test. Mr. Cai, why are you down here? I, Xiongba, don't accept this rule." Xiongba was really loyal and proposed on the spot.
"If you don't accept it, you can go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to appeal? You can go to the Minister or to the Minister." Cai Gong said with a look of disdain on your face.
"I'm going to..." Xiongba was furious. In the middle of his speech, Tang Chun immediately interrupted him and said, "General Xiongba, please stop talking. I accept this rule."
"Tang Chun, you..." Xiongba's eyes widened.
"Just use whatever tricks you have. I, Tang Chun, will get the rank of sixth-grade loyal and brave general with my true self." Tang Chun had a domineering look on his face. Although he was still half-kneeling, he could not hide it.
"You're so energetic, get up." Cai Gong sneered and said, "I want to see how Tang Chun's momentum increases."
The assessment began, and all the generals and officers watched with bated breath, because everyone smelled something.
"If he knows how to pass it, I write the two characters "Zheng Shou" backwards." Zheng Shou and his entourage continued to add jealousy and sarcasm to the side.
"When the time comes, I will call you Shou Zheng. You are not **, you are Shou Zheng." Tang Chun snorted coldly.
"Tang Chun, you insulted me, I will refute you to the superior." Zheng Shou was furious and pointed at Tang Chun.
"Didn't I explain it to you and make a bet with you? If you pass the test, your name will be called 'Shou Zheng' if you write it upside down.
Vice President Tang once explained that you are Shou Zheng." Xiong Ba hit the nail on the head and made the whole audience burst into laughter.
Zheng Shou was usually arrogant and mean. Naturally, the generals in the military camp, Mr. Qian, finally had the opportunity to laugh vigorously.
"We'll see!" Zheng Shou said something serious, staring at Tang Chun with his cannibalistic eyes.
However, Zheng Shou is destined to be depressed today. Tang Chun is really good at it. Every item of the hard indicators is qualified.
Tang Chun also pretended to try his best, which made Xiongba Tian Gang and others nervous. Of course, Tang Chun deliberately saved his strength. For Tang Chun, who is in the seventh level of Dzogchen, even if the hard target is
If the intensity is increased by 50%, it can easily be surpassed.
Tang Chun did this because Tang Chun felt that the good show was yet to come, and it was estimated that the fight was the real key to success or failure.
Therefore, it is necessary to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
"Tang Chun passed all the hard surname index assessments." Cai Gong announced weakly and helplessly. Hundreds of eyes in the audience were staring at this, and there was no chance for him to do anything wrong.
Moreover, General Huyan seemed to be half-lidded in sleep, but in fact Cai Gong knew it. This guy was a true old fox. If he really wanted to do anything, it would be difficult to deal with him if he got angry.
