The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 462 It's Your Turn
Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youtang summoned Zhang Mao, Zhu Hui, Xie Qian, and Ma Wensheng, and proposed to them to personally inspect the martial arts of the martial arts hall.

"I am going to use Li Rong, the middle officer of the Supervisor of Rituals, to cooperate with the Duke of England as the main examiner, and the Duke of Baoguo as the deputy examiner, to conduct the assessment of all the martial arts officers in Beijing. Wait, it will be rated as the fifth class based on the results, and you two will be witnesses, Mr. Liu Ge and Ma Shangshu, and I will also go there in person. Do you have any objections?"

When Zhang Mao heard this, his eyes widened.

Why don't you usually look for me, but Wu Xun, who is taking the exam in Beijing, let me be the main examiner?
What kind of shit does that group of people look like? No one else knows, and I don't know?After this circle, how many people have I offended?
Naturally, Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng would not raise any objections. They had long thought that the group of martial artists were not pleasing to the eye. They are not like civil servants who have specific evaluation criteria. Now they should let them know. What is equal treatment.

Zhang Mao said with wide eyes, "Your Majesty, it's really hard to take on such a big job because you are old and old. Maybe Cai Guogong, Bao Guogong and others can be the candidates for the school examination."

Zhu Youtang said: "British lord, what I mean is that the lords and uncles in Beijing also need to be displayed on the school grounds. You are the main examiner, and you must set an example first. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Bingkuan is only a civil servant, and will follow suit. I will go together, but if he is the main test, I am afraid that some people will be dissatisfied and think that I deliberately made things difficult. This is also to prepare for the selection of people who will go to Hetao, what do you think?"

You old man Zhang, don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

Do you think you just put off this errand so you can sit back and relax at home?Even if you are going to be the main examiner, you have to show your ability in bow, horse riding and archery first, so as to show that I chose you to lead the Beijing camp.

You have to prevaricate unless you hand over your position.

Zhang Mao swallowed when he heard this, and dared not speak casually.

Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian next to them almost wanted to laugh.

The infighting between you Wu Xun has finally begun.

Before Zhang Bingkuan harmed our circle of civil servants, is it finally your turn?

"I have compiled all the detailed rules into a case. You should take them back and read them first. I immediately ordered to send people to each school to notify the school. No matter who it is, it must go to the school to participate immediately after being recruited. Two hours After that...after you have read the detailed rules, go with me."

Zhu Youtang's temporary school exam will not be notified in advance.

Just give two hours of preparation time, from the announcement to the start of the exam, there are only these two hours.

No matter where the Wu Xun people in Beijing are or what they are doing, they have to go to the place designated by the emperor in batches to take part in the examination, which is equivalent to a surprise inspection.

……

……

The four of them came out of Qianqing Palace and temporarily went to the Audit Office to study the "Detailed Assessment Rules".

Li Rong goes with the four of them
After Zhu Hui came out, he said with a nervous expression: "Mr. Zhang, you know that I have been slack in bowing horses for the past few years. If I go up and do it a few times, I'm afraid... this pair of body supports Can't stop."

After hearing this, Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng laughed secretly.

Li Rongdao: "Mr. Baoguo, let's not be so direct. Everyone has to participate. Even if you slack off in some areas, you just need to make up for it in other projects. In recent years, you have personally led No one else has the experience of being a soldier."

What Li Rong meant was, don't worry about underestimating yourself.

You think you are bad, or there are many people who are worse than you.

Zhu Hui looked enviously and said: "Grandpa Zhang is still strong. I heard that after the year, Grandpa Zhang will still compete with the juniors on the school grounds. With one against three, he can easily knock down a few stunned youths. I can't do it."

Zhang Mao originally thought that Zhu Hui was complaining about himself.

Hearing this, he felt that something was wrong, and then he stared at him sharply.

It seems to be saying, what does your surname Zhu mean?
You're not laughing at me for asking someone to play a double reed with me, and you said that on purpose, right?
Ma Wensheng said: "In fact, His Majesty has mentioned the matter of military officer examinations over the years, but the examinations involving Gonghou Bo and others have serious implications behind it, and it is often difficult to implement. Or because the system of the Martial Arts Hall has been established, Your Majesty will I want to use this as an opportunity to test the school military officer."

Ma Wensheng can be regarded as clearing up the doubts of several people.

It is not a day or two before the emperor wants to test the martial arts of the school in Beijing.

Usually it is not difficult to test the generals who lead the troops, but if you test the children of these hereditary martial arts families, no matter who performs well, it may affect the stability of the court.

Therefore, the emperor didn't officially start the school examination until after the Yanwu Hall was established.

Xie Qian said with a smile: "I don't think the detailed rules of this assessment are too complicated. It's just about mounting a horse, riding a horse and shooting a bow, and using some common allusions to the art of war. Only those who have studied in the middle can participate, and those who have not learned it will be exempted. In the end, this military policy... I don’t know what kind of questions your Majesty will ask on the spot, and it may be difficult to determine whether it is good or bad.”

Warriors have to take the exam, and Xie Qian, as a cabinet minister and a ceremonial observer, seemed particularly relaxed.

When a few people arrived at the entrance of the auditorium, they saw that the lecturer of the Eastern Palace was about to leave not far away. Obviously, the prince would also take the exam that day, and he didn't need to take a long class in the morning.

Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng deliberately postponed their entry. Xie Qian said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether Zhang Bingkuan proposed the assessment, or whether the group of people did well in the test, or whether Zhang Bingkuan was the examiner or not. Target Zhang Bingkuan."

Ma Wensheng declined to comment.

Obviously, from Ma Wensheng's point of view, he is not as "narrow" as Xie Qian.

The emperor wants to evaluate Wu Xun, and provide a standard for Wu Xun's promotion and rewards and punishments. Even if there is a bias in the examination items, it is always a good thing, and it will make Daming Wu Xun refreshed.

How can you thank Yu Qiao for gloating so much?
……

……

As soon as the news of the Wuxun Examination School in Beijing came out, all the Wuxun schools in the capital almost turned their backs on their backs.

A lot of people just hang up a position in the military camp, they can be regarded as Jiluguan, some have not been to the military camp for many years, even if they are actually leading the army, they definitely spend three days fishing and two days drying the net... For no other reason, The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty’s Beijing camp were often occupied, and they were cultivating Taoist temples and palaces. There were no people, so where did they go to train?
Your Majesty, you use the Beijing camp as a free labor force, and now you suddenly let us take the exam, have you thought about our thoughts?

But the imperial order was issued, even if the families were reluctant, they had to go to the school outside the city to prepare.

A bunch of people are rushing ducks to the shelves.

In the public house next to the Yanwutang school in the city, Zhang Zhou and Wang Qiong held a mobilization meeting for the instructors inside the Yanwutang.

Zhang Zhoudao: "When it comes to bow horse riding and shooting, as well as the art of war and strategy, etc., it is up to His Majesty to send people to check and comment. As for the use of artillery, it is up to you to make actual comments. Taolue, etc., everything can be carried out according to the list in the lecture. Wang Shilang will be the chief critic."

In name, Zhang Mao is the chief examiner, Zhu Hui is the deputy chief examiner, and Li Rong is the supervisor.

But in fact, many assessment items still have to rely on the internal evaluation of the Martial Arts Hall. If Zhang Zhou doesn't do it himself, Wang Qiong will be the examiner instead.

Zhu Feng asked, "Then what about me?"

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "Marquis An Bian, what are you thinking? You are also the one who took the exam this time, do you think that you can get out of the exam?"

"That...that..."

Zhu Feng became nervous.

He also wanted to be a loafer of idle clouds and wild cranes. Who would have thought that this exam would also be aimed at him.

……

……

Outside the city, flags are flying.

Wu Xun from each school who came to take the exam also brought more or less subordinates. Although they may not be able to come out on top in the exam, they can't lose to anyone in terms of momentum. At least they all look very good on horseback. Heroic.

But there are some people... who can't even ride a horse well, so they come by leading the horse.

The Wu Xun of Ming Dynasty, after a large number of battles in the Tumu Fortress, all the families were a bit out of date, so that half a century has passed, and each family is still in that miserable state. The previous Chenghua and Hongzhi In the early years, it was also because of the continuous internal fighting in the grassland, coupled with the presence of famous generals such as Wang Yue, that the border towns of Daming did not experience major disturbances.

But in the middle and late period of Hongzhi, with the rise of Huo Sha and Dayan Khan, Daming could only follow up with strict requirements for Wu Xun.

"You guys, show me a good performance, don't be ashamed, you know?"

The two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling also came on horseback.

However, beside the two horses, there are people escorting them.

Zhang Heling was still mobilizing there before the school exams. As a teacher for the first time, most of the students he taught were ministers from relatives, or sons-in-law and sons of ministers. Zhang Heling seemed very "responsible" at this meeting.

"Marquis Shou Ning, what's the next exam?"

"Ask me, you are asking the wrong person. How can I know where to go? Let me tell you, His Majesty will come in person this time. You have been in the martial arts hall anyway. Think about those bastards in the Beijing camp. They don’t even know what artillery is.”

"We haven't fired a cannon ourselves. We just watched others fire a cannon. We only have one chance. If we take this test, what should we do?"

"Worthless! When the time comes, listen to me, find someone to insert the fuse for you, and you will light the fuse with a torch, and then run back, as long as you can shoot the cannon... Do you understand? It really makes me worry."

Zhang Heling became angry, as if he was a strict teacher.

"Quiet! Everyone return to their positions, those from the [-]th regiment go to each regiment, those from the Yanwu Hall go to the east... line up!"

The scene is full of a group of honored ministers who have never really led the army to fight, and their discipline is very poor.

At this time, it is not easy for them to find their respective "camps". In addition, the person in charge is basically absent, so they can only rely on some people to coordinate and help them adjust the team.

But there will still be situations where the wrong team is standing.

……

……

Zhu Youtang and his party left the palace.

He didn't go with Zhang Zhou, but planned to join Zhang Zhou after going outside the city, but Zhu Houzhao followed Zhu Youtang.

The group came out from Daming Gate, passed Zhengyang Gate and left the city.

Just like the usual sacrificial ceremony, Zhu Houzhao asked excitedly: "Father, how about giving my son a chance to perform today? My son also wants to ride a horse and shoot arrows."

"Will you?" Zhu Youtang asked.

"No, but my son can learn." Zhu Houzhao was very sincere.

Zhu Youtang rolled his eyes.

He thinks it's too early for his son to ride a horse, and it's okay to fall off the horse and hurt his muscles and bones.

Jin Yiwei Commander Mu Bin appeared beside Zhu Youtang, and said: "Your Majesty, the cannon field outside the city has come to report that all the princes and uncles of the family have completed their arrays, and please Your Majesty, please check the school yourself." .”

Zhu Youtang said: "I just came out to watch the ceremony. I have left the matter of the exam to the British Lord. Tell them if you have anything to do!"

What the emperor meant was that I would just watch from the side during the exam and not participate in the scoring.

Of course, your performance will clearly fall into my eyes.

Zhu Houzhao said: "Then the emperor asked the son to fire the cannon? The son also wants to see that new cannon. I heard that it can hit seven or eight miles away."

Zhu Youtang pointed to Li Rong who was at the side, and Li Rong hurried over.

"Are there new guns around the capital?" Zhu Youtang asked.

Li Rong said: "The new cannon is still being tested. I don't know if it will be shipped. I have to ask Cai Guogong."

"Yes." Zhu Youtang nodded and said, "If a new cannon arrives, it will be considered as a cover-up by firing two cannons at the end."

"Yes."

Li Rong was also ashamed when he heard this.

It seems that the emperor is very aware of the pissing nature of the group of honorable officials below, and this time it is not at all to show his prestige and make the emperor look good.

The emperor made up his mind to watch those group make a fool of himself, and then clean up the military discipline.

Otherwise, why did you let the two rifled guns open in the end to "cover the ugliness"?

"Father, my son thinks that in the future, don't use those dukes, just use Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang is so capable, how can you be uneasy with him in Daming?" Zhu Houzhao looked for opportunities to help Zhang Zhou brag force.

Zhu Youtang said: "I also know Bingkuan's ability, but Daming can't just rely on one person, or a few people to ask for peace. To be the master of the world, you must have a tolerant heart. Forget it, you are still young, and I will wait until later. I'll tell you in detail."

Zhu Houzhao wrinkled his eyes and nose together, and said, "Father, in your eyes, when will your son grow up?"

Zhu Youtang said: "At least wait until you are weak."

"Are you going to be 20 years old? If it's before 20 years old..."

Zhu Houzhao originally wanted to say, what if you burped when you were 20 years old?
But then he realized that this was disrespectful, and changed his tune, "Wouldn't it be another ten years? My son is still just a child in these ten years?"

Zhu Youtang said coldly: "Even if you are over twenty, in my eyes, you are still just a child!"

……

……

Outside the city, there is a martial arts arena.

Zhang Zhou brought some staff from the Martial Arts Hall to greet him.

Zhu Youtang greeted Zhang Zhou to his side and said, "Are you all ready?"

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? I'm also here to watch the ceremony today. I don't know what the preparations are going to be. But as far as I know...the situation doesn't seem to be very good."

Zhu Youtang clenched his fists and said: "If you don't punish them well, how can they feel a sense of crisis? I won't see them before the school exam, and I will arrange the place well, and I will just watch them show their shame! Whoever is really ugly If I don’t see it, I will dismiss them on the spot and let them know that the Beijing camp is not just a group of gangsters who can live and work in peace!”

　I was taken to the hospital by an ambulance in the early morning of Monday morning because of severe upper abdominal pain, and I had an examination immediately this morning (week 1). In the middle of these few days, I was in a very bad state. I have a stomach problem, which is likely to be bile obstruction, and I feel itchy all over the body (maybe it is Bilirubin is too high) I can't sleep, my stomach and intestines are uncomfortable, and I feel groggy every day.I went to the hospital yesterday afternoon (week 6). The doctor said that the blood biochemical tests should be done in the morning, and I was hospitalized for the checkups (there is no employee medical insurance, only the new rural medical insurance, and the third-level hospitals only reimburse part of the hospitalization checks, etc.), I still come back Yes... because once it's confirmed that I'm going to have an operation or something... my points are not enough to ask for leave.Wishing myself the best of luck and hopefully not having to have surgery and hopefully not be in the hospital.I have also been in an ambulance, because the ambulance and the hospital I went to are not the same. I paid a deposit of 5 yuan and said that it was more than refund and less compensation. I have been in poor health for the past few days and have not been there. I will tell you later... …Once you go to the hospital, you can't help but spend money.Wish me good luck, I hope the inspection in the morning is fine, and I am afraid that it will be the same as on Monday, spending more than 1 farts and not checking it out, and then I will continue to suffer in the future... It is said that it may be food poisoning... The symptoms of jaundice are a bit obvious in the past two days... At the age of 1000, I really can no longer treat myself as a young person.Everyone, take care of yourself.I will tell you about the inspection process in detail later.I also want to write this book well, but I'm really in a bad state recently... both physically and psychologically.
