He had watched several competitions before, and he knew that the young man wearing the mask was named Wen Dan. He wore a mask because his face was ruined by a fire at home when he was a child.
But now when the young man took off his mask, he realized that this document turned out to be the Han Emperor Liu Chan.
It's right to think about it, isn't the word "Wen Dan" derived from the word "Liu Chan"?
"Father!"
Liu Chan smiled and said: "I concealed something before, and I hope my father-in-law will forgive me."
Zhuge Liang still cares about this at this time.
It's just that in my heart, I have another layer of mystery about this young emperor.
Of course——
The people who were shocked were naturally not only Zhuge Liang, but also Xu Shu and everyone present.
Especially the one named Chen Xin, his face suddenly turned pale.
"He is the emperor?"
"I——"
Chen Xin was secretly frightened and felt a chill in his heart, because during the Wudu County Examination, he had a fight with Liu Chan pretending to be a Wendan.
At that time, Chen Xin was very unimpressed with this document.
Because everyone shows their true colors, just this document wears a broken mask every day, making it mysterious.
But now he knows.
It turns out that this document is the current emperor of Han Dynasty.
Oh my god——
What to do?
I defeated him, I defeated the emperor.
Chen Xin was very worried. If the emperor resented this, he would never have a good life in the future, and his father was now the general who conquered the west of the Han Dynasty.
However, Liu Chan didn't know what Chen Xin was thinking about now.
After talking to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, he immediately turned around and said to the nineteen candidates: "Don't be nervous, the essay is me, I am the essay - hahaha!"
"I signed up to participate in this martial arts competition just to let the world know;" Liu Chan said loudly: "I care about talents very much. As long as you have talent, I will give you a chance to show it."
"Before this, many people would say that I didn't appreciate my talent."
"Not anymore."
"The martial arts examination will not be held only this time," Liu Chan said in a loud voice, which could be heard clearly by the people under the ring: "From now on, the Han martial arts examination will be held forever. I, the Han Dynasty, will continue to hold it."
Dynasty will never bury a talent."
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, the people watching suddenly became excited.
Because before this, ordinary people had no way to rise. No matter how hard they worked, they could only become lowly common people.
But things are different now. The imperial court has implemented this martial arts examination, and this martial arts examination is open to the whole country. Both aristocratic families and ordinary people can sign up for reference.
This gives people at the bottom a way to rise.
Can they be unhappy?
Seeing that the people were very happy, Liu Chan continued: "Today is the re-examination of the Beijing Martial Arts Examination. There are twenty people entering the re-examination, including me. Next," Liu Chan pointed to the nineteen candidates,
Said: "After the re-examination, I will reward you with official positions based on your examination results, and you can serve the imperial court from now on."
Nineteen people who took the exam were immediately excited. Although the official documents of the imperial court had mentioned it before, it was even more exciting to hear the emperor's promise with their own ears.
"The person who wins the first place will be the number one scholar in martial arts!"
As he spoke, Liu Chan glanced at everyone and said: "I am looking forward to the first martial arts champion in my Han Dynasty."
Wu Zhuangyuan.
The first scholar of martial arts in the Han Dynasty.
The nineteen people were even more excited. If they could win the title of the first martial arts champion in the Han Dynasty, it would be a good opportunity to honor their ancestors and perhaps leave their name in history.
This——
After talking about the nineteen people, Liu Chan announced again: "Those candidates who have not entered the re-examination, don't be depressed, I will give you two choices." After speaking, Liu Chan looked at the eliminated candidates in the audience and said: "One
, you go back and practice martial arts hard, and then take the next martial arts examination; secondly, candidates who enter the Beijing examination can register with the Ministry of War, and the court will arrange positions based on your examination results."
!!!
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, the eliminated candidates were pleasantly surprised.
They were still very depressed at first, but now they find that although they were eliminated from the exam, their fate has still changed. Anyone who enters the Beijing Examination can register with the Ministry of War, and the imperial court will arrange positions.
This policy is so attractive.
Of course, they can also choose to take the next exam.
In short, their destiny has changed.
......
If you don’t want to be a commoner, then work hard to practice martial arts, and then pass the martial arts examination, and then you can become a marquis and a general.
This——
Is it true?
The common people were naturally happy when they heard Liu Chan's remarks, but the officials and some aristocratic families sitting on the stage were suddenly a little frightened.
People at the bottom can be promoted through martial arts examinations.
This——
But in this situation, even if they knew that the emperor was depriving them of their benefits, they could only hold back the anger in their hearts.
Because there are so many people at the scene.
The emperor gave the people the opportunity to rise. If anyone dares to stand up and oppose at this time, they will be enemies of the people at the bottom of the world.
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who had been worried before, couldn't help but secretly applaud.
He and Xu Shu later studied the imperial examination system in detail. If it was fully implemented, the Han Dynasty would no longer have to worry about having no one available, and reserve talents would continue to pour in.
Just promoting the imperial examination will definitely cause opposition from those clans.
Because with the rise of the lower class people and scholars, their status in the court will naturally be weakened.
But now, a martial arts examination was held first. In order to prevent these clans from resisting, they were given a certain number of places for direct promotion.
What’s more, martial arts is about selecting generals, so these clans didn’t take it seriously.
It was just the emperor's remarks at this moment that made them worry.
When the imperial court selects generals, they can use military examinations to select them.
Then can’t we use the civil examination method to select officials at all levels?
But Liu Chan doesn't care about this now. He just wants to let the world know that the Han Dynasty is about to change, and it must change completely. The past era of relying on clan recommendations for talents will become a thing of the past.
When Liu Chan finished his speech, bursts of applause suddenly broke out among the people watching. They were very excited and happy. They finally had a way to rise and no longer had to be ordinary people all their lives.
When Liu Chan finished his speech, Xu Shu, the imperial censor, immediately announced that the first martial arts re-examination of the Han Dynasty had officially begun; because Liu Chan occupied a re-examination quota, there were only nineteen people to take part in this re-examination.
The re-examination is the same as the initial examination. The final ranking will be determined based on the total scores of martial arts, archery, riding, etc. The person with the best score will become the first martial arts champion in the Han Dynasty.
Naturally, Liu Chan no longer needs to participate in the competition. Even if he wants to take a reference, the examiners can only force the status of the number one scholar on his head.
Because he is the emperor, even if his grades in all subjects are the worst, which candidate would dare to compete with the emperor for the status of the top martial arts scholar?
Of course——
Liu Chan doesn't care about the identity of this martial arts champion.
When he participated in the martial arts competition, he never thought about competing for the top prize in martial arts. He just wanted to experience it and see what level his martial arts skills were.
After a lot of hard work, he successfully broke into the top twenty.
That's enough.
Also, when he was in Wudu, he had already lost to Chen Xin and Ma Wu once each.
Moreover, these people who can enter the top twenty are not good.
Having lost the competition before, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Because Wen Dan lost then, but it is different now. If he loses again now, it means the emperor loses, which will bring disgrace to the emperor.
If you win, even if no one in the world says it, they will know it in their hearts without even thinking about it.
Not because you are the emperor, who dares to defeat you?
Liu Chan naturally understands these principles, so he simply stops here and leaves the status of the top martial arts scholar to these candidates to compete for.
——
In the re-examination, the first thing to be tested is the martial arts competition. The candidates will compete one-on-one. However, because of Liu Chan's withdrawal, the number of candidates became an odd number, from twenty to nineteen.
Nineteen people, how to compete one on one.
Should we add someone from the eliminated exams, or should we exclude someone from participating in the martial arts competition?
Xu Shu suddenly felt a little confused.
Because these two choices are not fair.
First of all, if there is an addition, there is only one quota, and only the candidates with better scores can be selected from the eliminated candidates to participate. However, the initial examination is divided into five groups. If you choose people from any one group, for the people from the other four groups,
It's all unfair.
If one of these nineteen people is not allowed to take the martial arts test, will his martial arts score be given extra points or no points added? Extra points are unfair to others, and not adding points is also unfair to those who do not participate in the martial arts competition.
of.
Anyway, it was because of Liu Chan's withdrawal that Xu Shu was in trouble for a while.
But just as Xu Shu was thinking about countermeasures, Liu Chan, who was watching the battle, suddenly shouted: "Ma Wu!"
Everyone was stunned. The emperor called out a candidate. What was he going to do?
