Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 42 Yuan Qingbai, the number one scholar in martial arts
Emperor Jing'an was stunned by Yuan Qingbai's request.

He didn't expect that the usually well-behaved and sensible imperial grandson would suddenly make such a request this time.

Pick two people in the room for yourself?
Well, this is a bit outrageous!
Yuan Qingbai also knew that this was a bit outrageous.

But Emperor Jing'an already loved his grandson no less than his eldest grandson Yuan Qingliang.

He also knew Emperor Jing'an very well and knew that Emperor Jing'an valued family affection and was tolerant, but Emperor Jing'an had been somewhat unruly in matters between men and women throughout his life.

For example, many concubines were brought into the palace from outside the palace by Emperor Jing'an, including the ninth prince's biological mother who was born in a lowly family in Lehu.

Yuan Qingbai speculated that when he made this request to Emperor Jing'an, Emperor Jing'an might agree, and even if he disagreed, he would not be too dissatisfied.

And Yuan Qingbai also knew that Emperor Jing'an wanted to select two roommates for him from the daughters of low-ranking ministers. Emperor Jing'an once did the same thing when he selected two people to live in the house for Yuan Qingliang.

Yuan Qingbai had something in mind. He already had two candidates he wanted...

So, he decided to give it a try today.

Emperor Jing'an looked at the heroic and majestic grandson of the good emperor.

He said with a half-smile: "Qingbai, you have grown up and you want to choose someone to live in your own house. Your father didn't dare to do this kind of thing at the beginning."

Yuan Qingbo bowed slightly and said with a smile: "My grandson just mentioned it like this. If the imperial grandfather is not happy, my grandson will naturally not do anything rashly."

Emperor Jing'an asked Yuan Qingbai how he wanted to choose, and after knowing it, he said: "Okay, I will let you participate in this year's martial arts examination. However, I will not agree to your request unless you can show the strength of the martial arts champion. Otherwise, this request Then give up."

Yuan Qingbai blinked and said with a smile: "Grandfather, then our grandson and grandson are settled."

Emperor Jing'an smiled and said: "One word is settled, you have no words to joke about!"

……

……

In October of this year, the Great Zhou Dynasty held the martial arts examination.

The martial arts test is divided into an inner court and an outer court. The inner court tests strategies and martial arts classics, and the outer court tests bow and horse skills and bravery.

Among them, the outfield examination will be held at the Shedian Field in the palace, and Emperor Jing'an will be there in person.

This day is the day of the field exam.

Emperor Jing'an led the third prince and some princes, princes, grandsons and ministers to the shooting hall.

At this time, more than a hundred warriors had gathered in the Shedian Field, and among them was a "strange" being, none other than Yuan Qingbai.

Yuan Qingbai has already participated in the internal strategy and martial arts examination.

Today he came to take the archery and horsemanship test in the outfield again.

After the selection of the Celu Martial Arts Examination, his answer sheet ranked third!

Since he was raised and trained by Emperor Jing'an, he has been studying hard, and has high-level teachers who specialize in tutoring him in Celu Wujing. His level in Celun Wujing is already not low.

The strategy and theory of the Wudian Examination and the martial arts examination are of limited difficulty.

Most of the Wugong warriors are strong men, and most of them are not strong in strategy and discussion of martial arts.

Although the scorers ranked Yuan Qingbai's Military Classics in third place due to his status as the imperial grandson and worried that Emperor Jing'an would be displeased by the lower ranking, Yuan Qingbai's score was not very impressive.

However, the few warriors who are strong in strategy and martial arts are not very strong in bow and horse skills...

This is conducive to Yuan Qingbai's achievement of winning the first prize in martial arts.

As long as Yuan Qingbai can win the first prize in today's outfield bow and horse skill test, then his overall performance in both the inner and outer fields will reach the level of this year's Great Zhou Wu champion.

At this moment, Yu Shixiu, the Minister of Rites, asked Empress Jing'an for instructions, and ordered to the military tribute soldiers and the emperor's grandson Qingbai: "The exam will start in the outer field!"

Emperor Jing'an and the third prince focused their attention mainly on Yuan Qingbai.

None of the martial arts warriors at the scene would have thought before that an imperial grandson who had never taken the martial arts examination would suddenly squeeze into their ranks and take the martial arts examination with them.

Naturally, the emperor's grandson became the focus of their attention, and many of them looked at it as a joke.

Because of the envy and jealousy of Yuan Qingbai's status as the phoenix and grandson, and also because although the emperor's grandson is quite tall and strong, he is not a very burly man, and he is only fifteen years old, so he does not seem to have strong martial arts skills.

The result disappointed and shocked these people...

In today's horse archery and foot shooting, Yuan Qingbai performed amazingly!
"Is he really the grandson of the emperor?" "How can a grandson of the emperor who is only fifteen years old have such amazing martial arts skills?"

"It's strange that this grandson of the emperor would come to participate in the martial arts examination. A grandson of Phoenix Dragon has such good skills in bow and horse martial arts. His strategy and martial arts skills should not be bad. I wonder how he is in terms of skills and courage. "

"Fortunately, I heard that he does not participate in the selection of first, second and third class."

"..."

The warriors were all amazed.

The next thing to test is skill and courage. There are two types of skill and courage, one is drawing a hard bow, and the other is dancing a broadsword.

Basic bows with eight, ten, and twelve powers were prepared on site, as well as six types of bows ranging from thirteen to eighteen.

Some warriors tried desperately to draw a bow with a power of 16 or 7, but they couldn't.

As for the eighteen-power bow, although several people tried it, they all failed.

The eighteen-strength bow is the limit of Da Zhou's hard bow. So far, it is rare for people to be able to draw such a bow.

Among this year's warriors, there is no such powerful person.

It's no wonder that people with such supernatural power are rare. Such people may not participate in martial arts examinations, or they may participate in martial arts examinations, but they cannot be selected as military tributes because of poor strategy and martial arts skills.

At this time, it was the turn of Yuan Qingbai, who was the last one to play.

The military tributes, as well as Emperor Jing'an, the third prince and other nobles outside the venue, all focused their attention on Yuan Qingbai.

Yuan Qingbai directly chose the ultimate eighteen-power bow.

Open it for me!

In the astonishment of everyone, the eighteen-power bow was successfully pulled away!

Emperor Jing'an and the third prince would all smile, knowing that Yuan Qingbai had such strength.

Then comes the broadsword dance.

There are three types of swords: eighty catties, one hundred catties, and one hundred and twenty catties.

Yuan Qingbai, who was still the last one to take the stage, directly chose a 120-pound sword and was able to move the sword from left to right over the head and perform front and back breast movements without letting the sword fall to the ground.

Another shock and exclamation...

On the sidelines, Emperor Jing'an waved to the third prince, who hurriedly stepped forward.

Emperor Jing'an smiled playfully: "Qing Bai's Strategy and Martial Arts was rated third. I carefully looked at the answers of the top few. Qing Bai's ranking is not unfair."

"Today, Qing Bai won the first prize among the brave archers and horses in the outfield."

"After all, this year's top martial arts champion is Qing Bai. It's amazing. This is the young champion in martial arts!"

"It's just that Qingbai doesn't participate in the selection of the top three, so why does he need to be such a martial arts champion?"

"Qingbai, as my beloved grandson, directly participated in the martial arts examination. If he is selected as the top martial arts scholar, even if he is based on his true ability, he will be questioned and lied."

The third prince nodded, thinking that although his father loved Qing Bai, he would not be confused about this kind of thing.

Emperor Jing'an added: "Now that Qingbai has done it, my agreement with him will be fulfilled."

The third prince couldn't laugh or cry. He had already heard about the agreement between his grandfather and grandson.

The agreement was that if Qing Bai showed the strength of Wu Zhuangyuan, he would let him choose two people in the room for him.

To the stern and mean third prince, this kind of thing was not only outrageous, it was simply outrageous!

However, the affairs of the people in the room are decided by the father. The father also loves Qingbai, and you have no words to say.

Moreover, the third prince already loved his third son.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with this matter, the third prince had no choice but to acquiesce. What else could he do?

　Do you know which two candidates are? One appeared in the previous article.
