Chapter 332 Soaring Into the Sky (Please Subscribe)
In early May, the Wu Jinshi examination officially started.
Jia Huan soon realized that the competition was much stronger than the previous one.
When Jia Cong took the Wu Jinshi exam last time, there were not so many strong competitors.
That's right, those disciples of Jianghu sects with perfect martial arts inheritance performed very well, and they were forced to compare noble disciples like Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan to the dirt.
He was completely defeated in terms of strength, infantry shooting, mounted shooting, boxing and kicking skills, weapon skills, etc.
"What the hell, this is too much!"
After several days of exams, Feng Ziying looked very ugly and couldn't help but curse.
Apparently, his test scores weren't great.
This is also true. In terms of performance alone, he has already been ranked beyond thirty.
However, the number of martial arts scholars required by the imperial court each time was quite rare.
Even if the number of Jinshi has doubled this time, it will not exceed thirty.
It can be said that Feng Ziying is already on the verge of being eliminated.
If the written test score is not good, this test will be completely over.
Even if you can pass the Jinshi examination, you are equivalent to the same Jinshi in the civil service examination!
Wei Ruolan next to her looked gloomy, pursed her lips and had no intention of speaking, and was in a very bad mood.
His grades were even worse than Feng Ziying's!
Just from this guy's delicate and fair skin, you can tell how much time he spent on practicing martial arts.
This time, the main reason why he took the Wu Jinshi exam was because the time was just right.
If the Wu Jinshi examination was scheduled after the Mid-Autumn Festival as in the past, he would have already left the capital by then and went to serve in the Southwest Army.
But he never expected that his test scores would be so bad, which would be a huge blow to his confidence.
The results of the other distinguished disciples are also average!
Only Jia Huan, with his first place result, helped the noble disciples breathe a sigh of relief.
“If you don’t succeed this time, keep working hard next time!”
He couldn't say much, so he could only comfort him: "You are all under twenty, and you will have plenty of opportunities in the future!"
"Brother Huan is right!"
Feng Ziying cheered up and said, "Fortunately, although my martial arts scores are not very good, I still have some confidence in the written examination!"
It can be said that the written examination is the strength of our students!
After all, the relationship between the family and the army is very close, and his understanding of the army is much better than other people of the same age.
Coupled with the carefully studied military tactics and strategies, the certainty will be even greater.
"This is indeed our strength!"
Jia Huan said happily: "Other candidates don't have the resources and convenience we have!"
All the companions nodded one after another, and the expressions on their faces improved a lot.
No matter what, as long as the exam is not a complete failure, otherwise it will be really hard to survive in terms of face.
Jia Huan smiled lightly and did not tell him about owning the sand table.
With a sand table comparison and a review of the classic battle cases of the predecessors, his understanding of military tactics and strategies is definitely much better than everyone else at the moment, but it is a little conspicuous when he shows it out.
Regardless of whether Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan can pass the exam, he will give them one or two sandboxes.
The written test that followed was, as expected, about the war in the northwest frontier!
There is nothing much to say. Jia Huan wrote a quite satisfactory strategy based on the tactics and strategies of the past dynasties for grassland wars and combined with Daqian's own situation.
There is no need to be new and different, Da Gan is already the one with the upper hand!
In his opinion, as long as he relies on national power to crush them openly, there is no need to take any risks.
The key is that there are endless tribes outside the Great Wall to kill, and how to manage them is the real trouble.
Jia Huan naturally has a way, but he won't write it down in the martial arts examination.
Thanks to the many time-traveling seniors, an almost one-stop system for ancient dynasty strategies has been formed.
No matter how many people are riding outside the Great Wall, once those measures are put in place, they will all be good friends who are good at singing and dancing.
The martial arts exam was completed quickly and the results came out quite quickly!
How should I put it, the previous martial arts competition has already determined the final rankings of most candidates.
In the final strategy test, it is unlikely that there will be any surprising and brilliant strategies!
If you really have such ability, taking the liberal arts examination is the best option. Isn't it a waste to take the martial arts examination?
After more than 20 years of management, the cabinet has completely eliminated the traces of the founding heroes of the country.
I have to say that scholars are really good at playing with public opinion!
It has only been a long time since cabinet members were admitted through the formal imperial examination. This concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and can be regarded as a general trend in a certain sense.
But more than 20 years ago, the cabinet was just the emperor's secretarial team and had no rights.
The real power of the court lies in the hands of the founding noble group.
For example, in the Chancellor's Office and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, one was a literary prime minister and the other was a military prime minister, basically monopolizing the power of the court.
But only a few years have passed, and almost everyone has forgotten these things.
It is probably the current emperor's deliberate act. In short, a certain tacit understanding has been formed in the officialdom, which is similar to the situation in the previous Ming Dynasty. Non-Hanlin officials are not allowed to join the cabinet.
In other words, no matter how successful the generals are, they will always be inferior to the cabinet bosses!
Unfortunately, military generals are not qualified to enter the cabinet!
This is what troubles the founding group the most, and it also means that the situation between civil and military forces has completely changed.
Before, he was always strong in martial arts and weak in civility, but now he has become strong in civility and weak in martial arts!
However, Daqian has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and there are almost no opportunities for generals to perform!
In addition, the civil service system can pass the imperial examination and continuously absorb new blood and outstanding talents. As time goes by, it will naturally gradually gain an advantage.
In the original work of Red Mansions, the founding noble group and even the military department were lost, and it can be said that they were completely suppressed by the civilian officials.
At the same time, Wang Ziteng actually wanted to enter the cabinet!
In fact, today should have agreed to it, or secretly supported it!
At that time, the current emperor no longer worried about the power of the founding noble group.
Naturally, he began to suppress the civil servant group he had promoted. Unfortunately, he miscalculated the reaction of the civil servant group and his determination to maintain his position.
Wang Ziteng's death was so frustrating!
As long as there is no problem in the brain, one can see that there must be a big problem with Wang Ziteng's death.
It can be said that Wang Ziteng's death is the most powerful counterattack given by the civil service system to the current emperor.
Aside from gossip, the martial arts exam is not as troublesome as the civil exam.
The martial arts competition cannot be faked, and the strategy is not complicated!
Whether it is good or bad, you can tell it at a glance, there is no way to cheat!
Then, Jia Huan became the first Wu Jinshi, commonly known as Wu Zhuangyuan.
When the news spread, the entire capital was shaken.
There was no way, Jia Cong was admitted to the top spot in Wushu in the last term, and now Jia Huan was admitted to the top prize in Wushu. The Rong Mansion produced two Wushu Sandingjia in one breath. It is difficult not to attract people's attention.
Ning Rong's second mansion held a large flowing banquet to celebrate, and they couldn't stop them even if they wanted to.
Of course, Jia Huan didn't stop him this time!
He has already taken off, so why continue to restrain himself? He has enough strength and confidence.
The old lady once again invited him to Rongqing Hall, encouraged him, and rewarded him with many good things, all of which were treasures left by the old Duke.
Jia Huan smiled and accepted them all without any politeness, and ignored the somewhat abnormal look on his aunt's mother-in-law's face, Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang was naturally unhappy, but there was nothing she could do about it, Jia Huan's performance was there!
Although she is the legitimate mother, Mrs. Wang really has no good way to deal with Jia Huan at this time.
From now on, Jia Huan, who is not sure of his return, will come forward to take care of Jia Baoyu, who has never made progress.
I don't know if the war in the northwest is very urgent, but this time I made an exception and did not give Yu Jia Huan, the new top military scholar, enough leave.
Three days later, he was summoned to the Daming Palace and received the rank of third-grade general, a first-class imperial guard.
This is a normal reward. Jia Cong also served as a third-class bodyguard beside the emperor for more than a year!
The key is that, except for Wu Zhuangyuan, Wu Zhuangyuan and Wu Tanhua, all the other Wu Jinshi were sent to the Beijing camp for training. When the training period was over, they directly became middle and low-level military attachés and went to the northwest frontier together.
This has little to do with Jia Huan. On the fourth day after he became the top scholar in martial arts, he came directly to the palace to work on duty.
What does it mean to soar into the sky? Jia Huan's current situation is the best example!
Jia Huan was somewhat famous before and was considered a relatively outstanding rising star in the elite circle. Many senior executives were optimistic about his future.
But at that time, he only had great potential and had not yet turned into real authority!
But things are different now. The first-class imperial guards are still very impressive.
It's not that he is better than him directly becoming a senior official, but that he often follows the current emperor and can often come into contact with the present. This is a considerable advantage.
Not to mention the convenience of being on a first-come-first-served basis near the water, just the fact that he can exchange a few words with today is quite remarkable.
What's the saying?
Jia Huan may not be able to help accomplish things, but the bad guy has the ability to do good things.
This is also the most fearful place among the confidants around us today!
Some people may wonder whether people today will pay so much attention to Jia Huan and regard Jia Huan as a personal guard?
There is no need to worry, he will definitely be under his personal protection now.
For no other reason, Jia Huan was born in an upright Miaohong family and definitely belonged to his own ranks.
Although they are fighting fiercely with the Xungui Group in private nowadays, the most trusted group of people is still the Xungui Group.
Anyone who knows something about history knows that nobles are the most loyal allies of the royal family!
Regardless of whether it is a civil servant group or a military general group, there is a possibility of rebellion at the end of the dynasty.
However, it is unlikely that the Xungui Group will rebel because their interests are completely tied to the royal family.
There is a word that can explain this relationship very well, it is called "living with the country"!
Once the Daqian is over, the noble group of Daqian will also be destroyed, and it is absolutely impossible for the new dynasty to accept them. This is the answer given by history.
Under such circumstances, Jia Huan was born in the founding noble group and was definitely a guard he was willing to trust today.
If Jia Huan can't trust him, who else can he trust?
Most of the other Ouchi guards came from noble and military families.
Or, they are guards specially trained by the royal family. It is basically unlikely that the guards around the emperor today will be so-called civilian masters.
that's the truth!
After Jia Huan entered the palace on duty, he first trained with the Dragon Guards and received strict guard training.
That's right, he is currently affiliated with the Dragon Guard system and is considered a special member of it!
The instructors who trained him were all the best among the Ouchi guards.
All of them have very good martial arts skills, and they are all top-notch or above in the world!
Of course, compared with Jia Huan, it is quite different.
Jia Huan didn't really show all his strength, that would be too exaggerated.
But even so, Jia Huan's martial arts skills were unanimously recognized by the instructors.
After hearing this, he asked Dai Quan specifically during his free time: "Is that boy Jia Huan from Rong Mansion really that powerful?"
Dai Quan did not dare to neglect and hurriedly explained: "It is indeed amazing!"
"What a powerful method?"
Now he became interested: "If I remember correctly, he is only fifteen years old this year, right?"
"Indeed!"
Dai Quan nodded repeatedly and explained: "According to the investigation, Jia Huan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his talent is quite powerful!"
"At a young age, he used the momentum of Rongfu to set up his banner on Ningrong Street. Before that, he was one of the most famous bosses in the entire capital!"
"Before Jia Huan, did you wander around the world?"
Nowadays, he frowned slightly and said in a rather unkind tone: "Exactly what the situation is, tell me clearly!"
Dai Quan felt a shiver in his heart, knowing that he was quite unhappy with the Jianghu forces nowadays.
This is understandable. After all, the imperial envoy teams dispatched today have been running into trouble in the south, and more than a dozen imperial envoy censors have been secretly murdered!
In other words, if he is tolerant enough now, another emperor would have been furious.
An investigation by the Jinyi Mansion revealed that almost all of those who assassinated the imperial censor were people from the Jianghu.
Even though I know that these people in the world are just knives in the hands of local powerful forces, I still feel quite unhappy today.
Under such circumstances, how could it be possible for him not to have any aversion to the Jianghu people?
The relationship between Dai Quan and Jia Huan is getting along quite well!
To put it bluntly, it was Jia Huan's annual filial piety that made Dai Quan have a good impression of him.
At this time, he naturally wanted to help and say something nice: "Your Majesty doesn't know!"
"Jia Huan is different from other people in the world. His main focus is on making money!"
Then, he briefly described a series of methods and actions that Jia Huan had taken over the Ningrong Street after he took charge of the Ningrong Street. Finally, he concluded: "Your Majesty, Jia Huan clearly knows that Jia Huan is not really deeply involved in Jianghu affairs. Among them, you can’t be considered a person in the world of martial arts!”
"That's right!"
After listening to Dai Quan's explanation, Jin Jin's expression softened a lot, and he nodded and said: "You have such ability at a young age. Remember when you helped your father Jia Zheng collect money owed to the treasury, he is a good guy!"
"Then Your Majesty, after the training is over, you will transfer him directly to the Daming Palace?"
Dai Quan tried carefully, but unexpectedly got Mang Ming's tacit approval.
