Chapter 55 We are all dedicated to serving our country!
Suddenly, the entire Shifang martial arts arena came to a standstill.
Look around with swish eyes!
Thousands of people were watching the excitement, as well as a group of officials and a group of young men participating in martial arts.
The faces of the Minister of War and the officials headed by Zhao Heng suddenly changed!
The more than 30 people kneeling in the distance, this is really a petition! As long as it involves martial arts, everyone in the Ministry of War is inseparable.
Zhao Heng immediately glanced at the officers and soldiers in the distance.
The latter understood the situation and immediately ordered a group of officers and soldiers to block the view, and began to push the thirty or so people in a rather rough manner, with threatening words and expressions.
"Your Majesty, stop looking. The auspicious time has come. You can announce the start of the martial arts competition."
"Those people just now were all weak in their own strength and had obvious shortcomings. After being dismissed, they were not convinced and came to cause trouble." Zhao Heng explained with a smile.
"Crack!"
A crisp slap sounded.
Qin Yun mercilessly slapped the distinguished Minister of War in public, causing him to become dizzy.
"You bitch, you still dare to play tricks under my nose?"
"Tell your people to get out of my way, or I'll hang you bastard on the spot!"
Qin Yun was like an angry lion, with his hair standing on end and roaring continuously.
Because he saw that more than thirty young men who were complaining over there were pushed and even had their heads smashed with sticks by officers and soldiers.
When he saw something like this, he couldn't help but feel angry. If he was like this here, what about when he was away?
In this way, how can you promote the talents you want?
It was the first time that Zhao Heng saw Qin Yun get so angry. He was so frightened that his legs went weak on the spot. He said in horror: "Yes, yes... Your Majesty."
He immediately rolled and crawled out of the arena and dispersed the officers and soldiers who were maintaining order.
More than thirty young people were dressed in rags, and some were disfigured, but their eyes were still very clear and tough. They were not afraid of power and only wanted fairness!
Qin Yun appreciates this very much!
Even if these thirty people are not outstanding, he still has to use them!
Qin Yun walked over on foot in front of all the civil and military officials and many people.
Wearing a dragon robe, no one dared to look directly at him wherever he went.
"I am right here."
"If you, more than thirty people, have been wronged or unfair, you can tell me!" He got straight to the point and was very straightforward.
More than thirty people had stern expressions on their faces. They were country folk. When they came into close contact with the emperor, they were naturally so nervous that they were speechless.
Seeing that they were silent, Qin Yun frowned and said, "Didn't they sound loud just now? Why have you become a soft-legged shrimp now? Could it be that you are lying?!"
"No!"
A sturdy young man suddenly shouted loudly from behind.
He gritted his teeth, plucked up the courage, and knelt down in front of Qin Yun: "Your Majesty, we commoners don't dare to lie!"
"Originally, we wanted to participate in this martial arts competition, and all the conditions met. However, the number of places was limited, and various states and governments screened us out."
"If it were a normal elimination, the common people would be convinced, but the common people discovered that many of the people waiting for the competition in the Shifang martial arts arena are rich and powerful sons. They can't even lift a sword. What do you mean by striving for the top spot in martial arts?
"
The young man pointed to the field, raised his voice, and looked directly at Qin Yun boldly with his resolute eyes: "Even the common people have heard that the children of the rich and powerful can spend money to buy a quota, but it may not be possible for the children of the poor to spend money!"
"They also said that after participating in the martial arts examination, those with slightly better results can get a job as an official!"
The more he spoke, the paler the faces of many officials in the field became.
Qin Yun's face turned darker!
He didn't express what he wanted, he gave three orders and made five statements, and repeatedly emphasized the matter of martial arts, facing everyone, regardless of the rich or the poor.
But there are still people who are doing both good and bad things!
Does this mean that because you haven’t killed anyone in a month, you think you can act recklessly?
"I also ask Your Majesty to uphold justice. Once the military competition is held, all capable people should be admitted. I and the common people in the country are all people who want to serve the country but have no way out. This military competition may be the only one in our lives.
Chance!"
"Please, Your Majesty, give me a fair chance!"
"We will repay Your Majesty with our flesh and blood!"
The words of the sturdy young man were deafening, with a feeling of passion.
Qin Yun first glanced coldly at the officials around him. Many of them looked away and lowered their heads.
Zhao Hengze had a look of pain on his face. He was not in charge of the various state governments and was bending the law for personal gain. How could he know everything? He was even slapped in the face. It was so unjust.
"Raise your head." Qin Yun said gently.
The sturdy young man raised his head and had strong features. He was about twenty-five years old. Although he looked ordinary, he showed perseverance and unyielding youthful passion.
"What's your name?" Qin Yun asked again.
"Your Majesty, Caomin Yanzhong!"
"Good!" Qin Yun shouted: "What a Yanzhong, what a name!"
"I like you very much. You and your compatriots no longer need to participate in the martial arts competitions. You will go directly to Xuanwumen to report later. I will put you to good use!"
More than thirty people looked overjoyed, going from hell to heaven!
Suddenly, Yan Zhong gritted his teeth, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, ordinary people want to be the number one scholar in martial arts and become a general. Can you let me take part in this martial arts competition?"
As soon as the words fell.
The Shifang martial arts arena erupted into laughter, and some officials also looked at him with disdain.
"A stinky rice transplanter actually wants to be a general. It's really a daydream. He has no respect for his ancestors!"
"I guess this young man can't even read a single Chinese character. He's still a general. How can he read military books?"
"I don't want to be associated with grandstanding!"
"It stinks, get away, or if you touch me, I will punch you and break your jaw!"
"..."
Listening to the discussions and ridicules of the people around, as well as the children of the powerful.
A trace of sadness flashed across the eyes of Yan Zhong and more than 30 young people from the countryside. It would be a lie to say they were not inferior, and it would be a lie to say they were not angry, but they did not dare to show it.
Qin Yun kept observing Yan Zhong, his eyes were briefly embarrassed and then he regained his determination.
If you feel thunder in your heart but your face looks like a flat lake, you can worship the general!
This person can be reused.
"Okay, I promise you that I will allow you to participate in the martial arts competition!" Qin Yun said with his hands behind his back.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yan Zhong relaxed his tense body and kowtowed heavily, feeling extremely grateful.
Qin Yun looked at the common people outside the martial arts arena and shouted loudly: "I am here, who else wants to participate in the martial arts competition despite being defeated?"
Outside the martial arts arena, there was a huge crowd, some eager to try.
Not long after, a strong man took the lead and walked into the martial arts arena: "Your Majesty, Kou Tianxiong, a common man, wants to participate even after losing the election to serve the imperial court!"
"Very good, I agree!"
Immediately afterwards, almost two hundred men who were unsuccessful came out and wanted to take this opportunity to participate in the martial arts competition and compete for the few opportunities.
Unfortunately, these two hundred people were all from poor families and were dressed in rags.
Qin Yun kept this incident and the purchase and sale quota in mind, and when the martial arts competition is over, he will settle the accounts one by one!
A short half-burning time.
He calmed down the matter of kneeling down to complain, avoiding the bad influence, and established a good image in front of these poor people with a broad mind!
Qin Yun returned to the high platform of the martial arts arena and watched the competition from the best position!
With his dragon robe billowing, he looked down on all sides and shouted: "I announce that the martial arts competition has begun!"
