The martial arts examination is over, the list has been confirmed, and the next step is the martial arts examination.
Li Yi was in a bad mood and did not go to the scene to observe, but he was very happy with the talents selected this time. It was obvious that Sun Tingzong and Cao Fengyang had put their heart and soul into it.
The first place this time, the tentative Wu Zhuangyuan is a young man from a poor family.
As long as you pass Li Yi's palace examination, you will be the real number one scholar.
This person not only came first in the literary test, he even came out on top in martial arts, ranking first in both civil and military affairs.
The young man has bright eyes and white teeth, the color of the sky is like jade, and he is good at using the tiger head tree.
Especially after wearing armor, he looked even more heroic, and there was a chill between his brows.
The tentative second place on the list is also from a poor family, so he is good at swordsmanship.
There is also the tentative third pick, who is also from a poor family. Although this person does not know boxing and kicking skills, he is good at arranging troops and formations. In terms of arranging troops and formations, he is three points better than the top pick and the second place.
He was a handsome man. Li Yi was very optimistic about him and kept his name "Qin Jin" in his heart.
The most surprising thing is that the people selected this time are all from poor families.
It was not that children from poor families were deliberately selected, it was just that no one from aristocratic families participated this time. A few children from wealthy businessmen participated. Unfortunately, their heads were chopped off for cheating.
Overall, this martial arts competition was pretty good.
It is true that Li Yi wanted talents, but more importantly, political vision.
Another signal sent by this military exercise is that today we must restore the glory of military commanders!
As for the process, that is secondary.
For these top picks, second place picks, and top picks, Li Yi generously rewarded them and directly entered the martial arts academy. As long as they graduated and passed the exam, they could directly join the army as generals.
The first step is to become a fifth-grade general.
This matter, also under Li Yi's instruction, began to spread in all directions with the capital as the center at an extremely fast speed.
It even overcame Li Yi's evil habit of beating the descendants of meritorious ministers and robbing his younger siblings.
Many heads of aristocratic families and vassal kings were a little confused when they received the news.
What kind of wind is this today?
He actually pushed those reckless men into the court. Isn't he crazy?
But King Fu, who was far away in the southwest, changed his expression in shock after hearing the news.
This is never a good sign.
What does Li Yi want to do? Is it possible that he really restores the glory of military commanders and then expands his military power?
Immediately, he immediately sent a message thousands of miles away, secretly ordering Liu Jin and Mr. Yan to keep an eye on Li Yi, especially the confidants around him, and strictly check Li Yi's movements, as well as the troops he had recently recruited.
now.
In the square in front of the Jinluan Hall, countless students lined up in formation, waiting respectfully for the summons.
On the left and right were armored and sharp-edged Forbidden Army soldiers, as well as a team of expert machine monitors patrolling the area vigilantly.
Although these students have just been selected, who can guarantee that there will not be assassins planted by the enemy among them.
In the Jinluan Palace, all civil and military officials from the Gale Dynasty were waiting neatly.
Li Yizheng was walking on the path of the Royal Garden, with dark circles under his eyes. Because of An Zhiyi's incident, he couldn't sleep a wink for several nights.
Just as they were approaching the Jinluan Palace, a chamberlain came to report that Mrs. Wang was here.
Li Yi stopped. He hadn't seen her for a while. He suddenly entered the palace. Is there something wrong?
"Let her in!"
"promise!"
Within a moment, Mrs. Wang walked over.
It has to be said that although Mrs. Wang is here at this age, she always dresses up exquisitely every time she enters the palace. She wears light makeup and a decent palace costume. Her hair is as long as a waterfall and is tied up high. She looks beautiful and solemn. She has the posture of a harem empress.
Li Yi thought in his mind that he should find the right time to bring Mrs. Wang into the harem. It would be unfair to her to always leave her outside.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Li Yi smiled bitterly and looked at Mrs. Wang, feeling a little guilty. He seemed to only come to her when he needed something, or else he had something to do.
Among all women, she is the most sensible. She has no name and no status, but she is willing to be the woman behind Li Yi without any complaints.
Who knows how many troubles she has dealt with for Li Yi, especially some shady matters, all of which were handled by her.
In full view of everyone, Li Yi suddenly hugged her waist, and his hand slipped down unconsciously, "What's wrong? You suddenly came into the palace to trouble me, right?"
Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes at him and pressed her dishonest hands. She suddenly became solemn and said, "Your Majesty, the incident at the martial arts examination venue yesterday was widely circulated."
"There are a lot of unfavorable remarks against Your Majesty in the public. Some people say that you robbed your sister-in-law and beat the descendants of meritorious ministers. You have no imperial bearing. In short, there are all kinds of things, and they are getting more and more serious. It is harmful to you and the court. It’s quite an impact.”
Hearing this, Cao Qingyan's expression changed. Sure enough, what happened at the martial arts examination venue began to unfold.
"It spread so fast, someone must be helping me?" Li Yi smiled half-heartedly.
Mrs. Wang nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, there are indeed people secretly fueling the fire."
With murderous intent in his eyes, Li Yi snorted coldly: "These two bastards, Mr. Yan and Liu Jin, have long made up their minds and want to take this opportunity to smear me."
"Hmph, let them struggle for two days. When the matters at the martial arts academy are finished, I will be free to take care of these bastards!"
"Your Majesty, I have arranged for Zhen Guandong to investigate. I believe there will be results soon."
Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he saw her meticulous appearance, "I plan to find a palace for you to live in, so that I won't have to run out of the palace to find you when I miss you."
After saying that, he touched it hard with his hand.
When she heard this, her eyes turned red instantly, and she was extremely excited, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is it true? Can I do it?"
"Why not?" Li Yi nodded and said, "You are my woman. What's wrong with living in the palace? I will find an opportunity to include you in the palace later."
"I thank you, Your Majesty." Mrs. Wang knelt down, grateful.
She is very self-aware. She is old and still a woman. How can she be worthy of the young, handsome and extraordinary Li Yi.
I just hope that His Majesty can remember me, and I don't even dare to think about asking for status.
But His Majesty still remembered him and took the initiative to grant him a title.
Li Yi pursed his lips and smiled, then helped her up, "Okay, let's go to the harem and see the Queen. You should also move around frequently."
"No!" Mrs. Wang's face was flushed, and her heart was as sweet as drinking honey. She was full of joy and walked towards the harem with light steps.
Suddenly she remembered something and was about to speak, but Li Yi had already walked into the Jinluan Palace. She sighed and didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
With a sharp shout, all the officials knelt down and shouted long live.
Li Yi raised his hand and said, "Get up!"
"Today is a good day. Dear friends, please keep your eyes open and help me carefully select the talents for this imperial examination."
"This is where your duties lie." All civil and military officials knelt down again.
Now there is only one voice in the court, that of Li Yi. Looking around, all of them are close ministers promoted by Li Yi himself, and they are all young people, as well as neutral relatives of the emperor and noble families.
The most important ones are the cabinet and the six ministries, whose core power is tightly held by Li Yi. He is a veritable die-hard loyalist to Li Yi.
Now, who else dares to say that Li Yi’s words don’t count?
"Your Majesty, in accordance with your Majesty's request, I and several examiners reviewed the reference test papers again and determined the admission list. According to the requirements, the top one thousand students were admitted. Except for the top three number one, second place, and top pick, all other students entered Further study in the martial arts academy.”
"However, many of the students are extremely talented. Your Majesty, please review them personally." Cao Fengyang added.
Li Yi nodded, "Okay, let them come in one by one."
"promise!"
Cao Fengyang responded, "Announce the first student..."
These people are indeed very talented, but Li Yi met more than a dozen of them in a row and was not very satisfied.
These students are either impetuous, ambitious, or arrogant, but none of them are very dazzling.
well!
Also, it may be difficult to surprise a modern person like Li Yi.
Finally, Qin Jin, the best in martial arts examinations, arrived.
Although this man gave up fighting, his method of arranging troops was very good. He was able to impress the two top picks and the second pick, which shows his talent.
Sun Tingzong did not hesitate to praise, "Your Majesty, this son definitely has great talent and will definitely be the most dazzling new star of the Dafeng Dynasty in the future."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this humanities test can single-handedly defeat the number one scholar. If he hadn't given up fighting, I'm afraid this new number one scholar would be his." Cao Fengyang also said seriously.
Hearing this, Li Yi nodded in shock.
interesting!
Being able to impress even arrogant competitors shows his strength.
Could it be that I am so lucky today that I have found a Qilin minister?
With curiosity, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the test paper. He didn't know it without looking at it. He was really shocked when he saw it. This is something that ancient people could come up with.
