Looking at the record, Yang Su is the number one general in the Sui Dynasty. But his bottom line is a bit low.

Historically, in order to win Yang Jian's favor, he conscripted a large number of civilians when supervising the construction of Renshou Palace, which cost hundreds of thousands of people.

Using the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in exchange for a magnificent palace shows that Yang Su has an incomparable disregard for the lives of the people at the bottom, and his leadership style also shows this...

In addition, he also hoarded gold and silver treasures and liked luxury.

Just talking about it can reveal a lot of black spots. If you are ambitious and good at power, you will be prone to cholera in the court and so on.

If it were not for his outstanding commanding ability and his ability to stand in line, he would not be qualified to be the founding hero of the Sui Dynasty. It will only leave a bad name in history.

"With Yang Su's potential, he can reach the Heaven Realm, but he is definitely not one of the dozens of Heaven Realm experts who have descended from the sky. He may have arrived in Daxia a long time ago and has been hiding and never appeared!"

After Wang Jing saw Yang Su's name, enlightenment emerged in his heart. Three of the four famous generals who founded the Great Sui Dynasty are now serving in the Great Xia army.

There are also acquaintances such as Gao Xi, Su Wei, and He Chou, which will make the civil and military people who came from the Sui Dynasty instinctively feel some intimacy.

If Yang Su had not defected to other forces, there was a high chance that he would come to Daxia.

However, Yang Su may also know that his reputation is not very good, so he has been waiting in Daxia to see whether the emperor of Daxia is really broad-minded and can accommodate people like him.

Now it seems that Yang Su has determined the emperor's style of doing things and actively participated in martial arts.

"Yang Su must have at least the strength of the Earth Realm at this time. To participate in the martial arts competition with the strength of the ninth level of the Earth Realm, this will be a complete crushing for other warrior heroes!"

The corners of Wang Jing's mouth twitched slightly.

But he can also understand the other party. After all, Yang Su's relationship with He Ruobi, Shi Wansui and others, including Gao Xi and Su Wei, is really not very good. Especially with Gao Xi and Su Wei, they can be called political enemies.

It is impossible for Yang Su to be introduced through the connections of these people.

If there is time, Yang Su can show his fame in Jinling, attract Wang Jing's attention and become a member of Daxia.

However, with Yang Su's eyesight, he could see the hidden information behind Daxia's continuous imperial examinations and military examinations, so he did not waste time and directly defended the military examinations and joined the Xia army through this route.

With his strength, as long as the emperor sees his name, it is impossible to really put him in the army as a low-level officer. For him, the military examination is just a letter of recommendation to join Daxia...

"There are also Deng Yu and Zhang Xutuo! Deng Yu has a long-term vision. He started an army to fight against the Yuan Dynasty at a young age. He defected to Zhu Yuanzhang very early. He has a calm personality and can be entrusted with various tasks. His ability is slightly inferior to Fu Youde, but he can be ranked among the founders of the Ming Dynasty. The six great princes are enough to prove their potential!"

"If they are properly cultivated, it will not be a problem for Yang Su and Deng Yu to enter the heavenly realm."

Zhang Xutuo was also a famous general in the late Sui Dynasty. He was able to care for the people and command the army. Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin both served under him.

It's a pity that the Sui Dynasty was really exhausted at that time, and Zhang Xutuo could not calm down the chaos in the Central Plains by himself.

In the end, he was defeated by Li Mi and died in the rebellion.

He may not have the potential of the Heaven Realm, but after joining Daxia, he received a lot of resources and training, and was able to step into the Earth Realm and have the qualifications to command more than 100,000 troops.

In addition to these three famous generals, there are more than a dozen people on the list in Wang Jing's hand, and Murong Chong's name is also among them.

"Sending my sister to the palace first, and then participating in the martial arts competitions is quite tricky!" Wang Jing remembered Murong Chong's name. This was also the purpose of sending his sister to the palace through Xie Hui.

His purpose was successful.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, except for those civil servants and generals above the ninth level, the names of most civil servants and generals would hardly appear in Wang Jing's ears.

If you want to get ahead and make contributions, in addition to your own abilities, it is also important to be appreciated by your superiors.

Wang Jing, the holy family member of the Emperor of Great Xia, can easily change the fate of others. If he pays a little attention to certain people, they can seize the opportunity and soar into the sky.

.....

Without Murong Zhi, even if Murong Chong participated in the martial arts and was successfully selected, Wang Jing would simply glance at him and forget about his name. After all, an eighth-level general was nothing to the Great Xia Dynasty. What.

Murong Chong obviously understood this, so he firmly sent his sister to the palace despite Murong Shaozong's dissatisfaction. If the news spread, many powerful people in Jinling would definitely laugh at him secretly.

But Murong Chong didn't care about this at all. As long as his name was remembered by His Majesty the Emperor and he made three-thirds of his contribution, he would be able to produce 50% of the effect...

"Your Majesty, do you want to summon these people?" Yu Yunwen, the head of the Secret Document Supervisor, asked.

In the Qinzheng Hall, apart from Wang Jing, the only one who came in with a list was Yu Yunwen, who came in with a list of names to report. Shen Yi Gaoxi and other important ministers from the three provinces had a lot of things on their hands and were sitting in their respective government offices these days.

If there is no need, I will not waste my time coming to Qinzheng Hall. After this list was introduced to the three provinces, Yu Yunwen personally brought it and presented it to Wang Jing.

"No! Let them continue to participate in the martial arts competition! Since they have already signed up, it would be inappropriate for me to summon them before the martial arts competition is over!"

Wang Jing waved his hand.

Yu Yunwen also understood that this would easily arouse the dissatisfaction of many scholars and warriors, who felt like someone was cheating. However, Yang Su and Deng Yu were both future heavenly warriors and had the qualifications to make an exception for Daxia.

And after they signed up for the martial arts competition, they didn't need to think too much. Everyone was sure that they and Zhang Xutuo would be among the top three in the martial arts competition.

If those warriors participating in the martial arts competitions were informed, many people might hope that they would be summoned by the emperor in advance so that they would not have to continue participating in the martial arts competitions and thus free up the top three spots.

Three famous generals appeared in the martial arts examination, and those who participated in the imperial examination were all candidates selected from various places in Daxia and students from the Imperial College. There are only a few third-rate historical officials.

This result made Wang Jing a little disappointed.

However, this is normal. After all, famous historical ministers are a minority in the world of China. What the Great Xia Dynasty needs now is not individual civil servants with outstanding abilities, but middle- and low-level officials who can fill a large number of positions in the Ten Dao of Great Xia. A few days later.

Wang Jing personally went to the main hall of the palace and presided over the final test of the imperial examination. The palace examination took a very short time, and soon the examination papers of many scholars were sent to several bachelors from the Ministry of Government Affairs.

Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang presided over the grading. With their mental strength, they could remember everything with just one glance, their reactions were extremely fast, and their grading speed was also very fast.

In about half an hour, they simply arranged the rankings of the imperial examinations and then delivered them to Wang Jing.

In the side hall.

Wang Jing flipped through the test papers casually. The test questions in the Daxia imperial examination were different from those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They did not rely on eight-legged essay writing, but were divided into several categories. The main test for Jinshi subjects was policy questions, and the main test for Mingshi subjects was arithmetic... .

However, according to custom, it is the Jinshi Department that is most valued by the ministers of the three provinces.

"Well, the writing is good and the words are meaningful. I am qualified to serve as a county magistrate in a local area!"

Wang Jing complimented casually, picked up the ink pen and sketched a few times to readjust the rankings of the top ten in the imperial examination. This was the right of the emperor.

"Mr. Shen, how many people in Enke are qualified this time?" Wang Jing asked.

Shen Yi quickly reported: "According to His Majesty's instructions, Enke selected 900 Jinshi this time, which is three times the number of previous selections. In addition, there are 2,100 fellow candidates on the list. Jinshi."

"There are three thousand people who have obtained Jinshi and fellow Jinshi qualifications..."

Wang Jing frowned, looked at Wang Guangyang, and asked, "I remember that there are at least six thousand official vacancies in various parts of Daxia. Why are only three thousand people recruited?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Wang Guangyang quickly stepped forward to report: "The scholars participating in Enke have different abilities. I have expanded the number of places this time several times, and the difficulty has been greatly reduced. In this case, the scholars who cannot be selected even as Jinshi have different abilities. It’s conceivable.”

"The lack of officials in local areas can be filled by the juren from various places. After all, the shortage of officials in various provinces, prefectures and counties

Most of them are low-level officials... The imperial examination selects talents from all over the Xia Dynasty. The rules of the imperial examination cannot be completely destroyed just because of temporary difficulties! "

"This is what I think. Please give me your Majesty's advice!"

For Confucian scholars like Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang, who highly believed in the imperial examination, the imperial examination was extremely sacred, and it was the best way for ordinary people from poor families to transcend their social classes.

The Daxia Dynasty had a shortage of officials and could triple the number of Jinshi. After all, Daxia needed to seize all the time to recuperate and take root in the government system everywhere. The need for officials is paramount.

Therefore, Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang can understand this and can temporarily modify the rules this time, as long as they return to normal next time.

However, temporarily changing the rules does not mean that the rules of the imperial examination can be destroyed wantonly.

Expanding the number of Jinshi to three thousand is the limit they can accept. If the recruitment was to be expanded to more than 6,000 people at once... not only Shen Yi and Wang Guangyang would not be able to accept it, but also the many officials who had passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom. This time the quota has been expanded to more than 6,000 people. When the next imperial examination is reduced tenfold in an instant, the scholars participating in the imperial examination will definitely not be able to accept it.

"Well, what you said makes sense. I thought it was simple. Then we should follow the wishes of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. For officials at the township level, let each province recruit people to fill them..."

Wang Jing is not an omniscient and omnipotent god. As long as he is still a human being, he will definitely have unexpected flaws and mistakes.

He has a powerful soul, a photographic memory, and a fleeting mind, but in terms of internal affairs, there are many trivial and complicated things that he cannot possibly understand.

It's impossible to handle everything properly.

After Wang Jing besieged Xiang Yu, he vaguely touched the gates of the demigod level, but these were his personal strengths and had nothing to do with his experience in handling national affairs.

No matter how strong you are, you will always do things in unexpected ways.

However, Wang Jing is not a narrow-minded person. As long as his subordinates and generals can put forward effective suggestions, he can accept and correct them. This is the necessary quality of a wise king to be able to listen to what is said.

After the imperial examination in Daxia.

The martial arts examination was held in the military camp outside the city. On the day of the martial arts examination, the military camp was specially opened to the people of Jinling. Immediately, a large number of people came to watch around the school grounds.

The first level of the martial arts examination tests personal strength. As long as you can reach the fourth level, you can pass.

As long as you have a method of breathing and practice, plus a certain amount of talent and resources, it is not difficult to become a third-level warrior, and the third to fourth level is the key to the transformation of a warrior's strength.

Because the fourth-level warriors can condense the Gang Qi, the Gang Qi protects the body, making them invulnerable to weapons and weapons, and the Gang Qi is condensed and released, and it is an indestructible sword and Gang Qi. The lethality increased tenfold.

With such strength, after joining the army, going through one or two battlefields, and making some achievements, you can be promoted quickly and be qualified to serve as a hundred households. Five or six years ago, fourth-level warriors could even become guerrillas in the army, commanding thousands of soldiers and horses... As time goes by, more and more warriors in the army have experienced rapid transformation from battle to battle. There are endless ranks of generals and commanders of the first and seventh ranks.

Level 4 warriors are slowly becoming worthless.

Not only the fourth-level warriors, but also the ninth-level masters who seemed unattainable and powerful at the beginning also increased rapidly and were replaced by the powerful ones in the heavenly realm.

These are normal changes over time.

However, no matter how things change, a fourth-level warrior who can condense Gang Qi is still a hero among the people who can fortify a county or control a whole government, and is qualified to open a martial arts gym and recruit disciples.

Nearly 10,000 warriors passed the first level of this martial arts competition.

The second level of the martial arts examination is to test military tactics and strategies. After all, those who pass the martial arts examination are at least officers when they enter the army. They do not need to have the ability to command troops when they first join the army, but they can at least understand documents and convey military orders. , have some understanding of some simple battle formations....

At this level, three to four thousand people were wiped out at once.

The third level is to test the riding and shooting skills in the school field. If you are not proficient in riding and shooting, you can participate in the ring battle.

In the school grounds.

The riding and archery test goes very quickly, and samurai who have passed the riding and archery test can continue to take part.

The arena, this kind of arena confrontation, shows the personal strength of the people participating in the martial arts to everyone.

In the ten arenas, warriors with strong vitality and surging energy are holding wooden weapons with sharp swords and phantom spears.

Under the influence of Gang Qi, even wooden weapons can tear the air and make violent whistling and hissing noises.

This kind of battle in the ring made the people watching get excited and excited. When they saw a certain warrior who performed outstandingly in the ring, they kept shouting and cheering.

Ordinary people, who have seen so many masters fighting there, finally gained some knowledge today.

On a high platform in the school grounds.

Those in charge of the military examinations were Privy Envoy Bu Zhi, General Yue Fei, and General Qi Jiguang, who had just broken through to the Heaven Realm.

The two heavenly generals, especially Yue Fei, can make everyone feel at ease.

Whenever the warriors facing each other in the ring couldn't hold back and were about to suffer casualties, Qi Jiguang would immediately stop them to ensure that no lives would be lost.

Bu Zhi and Yue Fei looked at the three figures in the school grounds from time to time.

These three people are the Sui Dynasty Yue Duke Yang Su, the generals Deng Yu and Zhang Xutuo whose names have been sent to Wang Jing.

Yang Su, with a flowing black beard, held the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand and stood tall.

No matter what kind of opponent he is, they are not even qualified to attack him. With one glance, the opponent will fall directly into the ring.

"At the pinnacle of the realm...it's really a bit of a rogue to participate in the martial arts competition!" Upon seeing this, Bu Zhi felt the same emotion as Wang Jing.
