Under Li Shimin's planning and Li Chengqian's operation.
The military strategy was finally implemented.
Three days after Li Chengqian proposed the martial arts test in the court, the imperial court issued edicts across the country.
Call on capable people from all over the country to go to Chang'an City to take the martial arts examination.
The specific examination content is divided into two categories.
One is martial arts, the so-called martial arts of generals.
Among the events, there are nothing more than mounted shooting, infantry shooting, flat shooting, spearmanship, weight-bearing, and wrestling.
If you can pass the exam, you will be sent to the army as a general.
The second is strategy, which is the so-called handsome talent and martial arts.
In fact, Li Shimin did not specifically stipulate this, but Li Chengqian asked Li Shimin to add it.
After all, since ancient times, there has been a widely circulated saying that "all generals put strategy first, martial arts second."
In the military, handsome men are often more rare than generals.
Moreover, Li Chengqian did not want to miss out on some talents who would be used by the Tang Dynasty, expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and protect the people and the country after having created such a good prospect.
Therefore, Li Chengqian also specially moved the strategy examination that only appeared in the Song Dynasty to the present.
The examination content in this column is nothing more than military strategy, Sun Wu's Art of War, etc.
There is no distinction between the two subjects. Candidates can apply for either subject.
The only difference is the employment assignment after passing the exam.
Of course, the imperial court did not have special regulations, and each person could apply for a limited number of subjects.
If you are confident in yourself, you can apply for two subjects directly, or even register for the exam together.
After Changsun read the edict to their group, he couldn't help but laugh.
Cheng Huailiang was the first to speak: "There are so many talented people in the world. It is not easy to stand out in one exam, but it is not easy to pass two subjects."
"Don't say it."
"I really just want to challenge it."
Gao Zhixing looked at Li Chengqian and said, "How about Gao Ming, would you like to sign up for your cousin?"
"just you?"
"You can do it..."
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "I'm even afraid that you'll ask someone to beat you to death in the ring."
"cut."
"How can it be?"
Gao Zhixing put away the edict and said: "Your cousin, I am also a prodigy in both civil and military skills. They are really no match for me."
"Besides, if there really is such a person who can defeat me in both the general examination and the handsome examination, how powerful is this person?"
"Not only can you reach Li Jing's level, but you have to be on par with Li Chongyi, right?"
Hearing this, Li Chongyi was a little unhappy.
He said: "Gao, what are you talking about?"
"If I heard correctly, do you mean that you are about the same age as my father?"
Hearing this, Gao Zhixing snorted and said, "I didn't say it, but if you think so, I don't have any objection."
What's the word?
How about saying he is my father?
Li Chongyi was not happy at the moment.
He stood up straight, glared at Gao Zhixing and said, "Gao, do you think I dare not hit you in front of a wise man?"
"Hey, you, are you angry? Are you anxious?"
Gao Zhixing also stood up, faced Li Chongyi, and said directly: "If you have the courage, you can come!"
"I'm afraid you don't have the ability or the courage."
As he spoke, Gao Zhixing said sarcastically: "If you really have that ability, when rebellions break out, others will be the ones guarding the border."
Six months ago, Li Chongyi originally wanted to participate in the counter-insurgency war.
But unexpectedly, he was sent to guard the border in the northeast by Li Shimin.
Li Shimin's purpose is simple.
It is nothing more than to prevent these two guys from Silla and Baekje from running out to cause trouble.
After all, there is a gold mine being mined over there. You have to be on guard no matter what.
Although the Tang Dynasty does not regard gold and silver as the main currency, the value of gold is there.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the income.
How much revenue can that gold mine bring to Datang every year?
It even exceeds the output value brought by half of the light industrial bases in the Northern Desert.
Who could give up such a profitable business so easily?
Therefore, Li Chongyi, a younger guy, was pulled out by Li Shimin.
And Li Chongyi also lost an opportunity to fight side by side with Li Chengqian and other younger generations.
He ran to the border alone to guard the gold mine, and just returned to Chang'an City recently.
And this matter has always been the matter that Li Chongyi is most concerned about and has the greatest resentment.
At this moment, how could Li Chongyi be happy to hear that Gao Zhixing said these words again.
He immediately rushed forward to fight Gao Zhixing.
At this moment, Li Chengqian stood up.
"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing."
"If you want to fight, go out and fight. Don't make any noise here."
Li Chengqian was also helpless towards these two people.
No matter Li Chongyi or Gao Zhixing.
The two of them could be said to be good-natured people with a smile on their own.
But it just doesn't work to put the two together.
As long as two people meet, there will always be a time when they don't fight.
After hearing Li Chengqian's words, the two finally calmed down.
But the eyes are still competing.
From their looks, they seemed to be saying to each other: "If it weren't for Gao Ming, you would be dead."
Seeing this, Li Chengqian sighed helplessly.
He said: "Whether it is the imperial examination, general martial arts, or handsome martial arts."
"The purpose of creating such selection projects is nothing more than to recruit more talents for the court and the country."
"I don't want you guys to go and bully the small ones!"
After hearing this, everyone also lowered their heads.
Because of their families, these people have been practicing both civil and martial arts since they were young.
Including Cheng Huailiang, all subjects in liberal arts and martial arts are taught by specialized teachers.
It is obviously a bit of bullying to ask them to compete with those from poor families or martial artists.
Moreover, it was a waste of a quota that could be used to select talents for the imperial court.
Li Chengqian said with deep eyes, "However, what you just said is indeed interesting."
"What if one day, a great talent that is rare to see in a thousand years really appears?"
"How about being able to win the number one scholar, the number one scholar, and the number one scholar in one fell swoop?"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
Changsun Chong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, this is probably impossible."
"Although the difficulty of martial arts is high, I haven't tested it yet."
“But the liberal arts alone is enough to kill many people.”
Changsun Chong sighed softly and said: "I once thought that my knowledge was enough to occupy the top three seats in the imperial examination."
"But after I went there, I realized what it means to be someone outside the world."
"What's more, there haven't been many people practicing both civil and martial arts since ancient times."
"If you want to win the three estates in one fell swoop, you must cultivate both of them to the extreme."
"If it can really reach this point, then it may really be the reincarnation of a god..."
Hearing this, everyone nodded, indicating that Changsun Chong was right.
After all, geniuses don’t come often, and a genius like a god is rare even in a hundred years...
But Li Chengqian was very confident in this.
"Nothing is permanent..."
He rubbed his chin and said, "What if one day, such a person really appears?"
