Chapter 30 Touring the Examination Room

Yang Su's carriage slowly stopped at the door of the Right Xiaogu Barracks. This was the examination room on the B list. As soon as the carriage stopped, the chief examiner Li Gang brought a group of examiners to greet him, "Li Gang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, met Yang Taipu!"

Yang Su was the first person in the dynasty and served as the Minister of the Shangshu, with a high status. In this martial arts examination, the highest examiner was only a minister of the Ministry of War, and the status of the two sides was very different, so Yang Su was on the double-list inspection, which had great deterrence.

But it also shows that Yang Guang attaches great importance to the martial arts, and that the dignified Duke of Chu and Shangshu Ling came to inspect the examination hall, which shows that Yang Guang is still worried about what problems will happen to this martial arts.

Yang Su also knew this very well. Although he was weak, he did not complain at all, but did a conscientious manner in the inspection and supervision.

"Mr. Li is exempted from the ceremony. I will patrol the examination room according to the will of the emperor. I don't need your company. I will do whatever I want, so I can do it myself!"

"Since that's the case, Yang Taipu is still inspecting it at will. If you have any questions, you can directly find the deputy chief examiner He Qing. Bei Li must go to the First List and say goodbye!"

"Go! I can patrol myself."

Li Gang led the examiners to retreat one after another, leaving only the deputy chief examiner He Qing, who served as the doctor of the Ministry of War and was responsible for the second list. He stepped forward to salute Yang Su, "Now the candidates are still preparing, please follow me to rest."

Yang Su got off the carriage, Yang Yuanqing and a guard helped Yang Su onto a horse, and he winked on Niu Niu. Niu Niu followed him and the group rode into the examination room.

"Yang Taipu, the first fewer military tactics on the list of B than the list of A, only tests for cavalry and archery and weapons. The test of cavalry and archery yesterday has been completed. Starting today, we will take the test of weapons, knives, spears and self-branded weapons for three consecutive days."

While everyone was walking, listening to Doctor He’s introduction. Yang Su asked again: “Doctor He, are there any standards for the exam?”

"Reporting to Taifu, there are standards for riding and shooting. The three basic horse riding movements and running smoothly throughout the journey are four points in total. Then, the step bow and ride bow are three arrows each. A total of six points are added to the bull's eye. The highest is ten thousand six colors."

Yang Su nodded. "What about the weapons test?"

"The weapons test are mainly evaluated by the examiner, and they are also very important. They are scored based on their proficiency and maturity and the difficulty of the moves."

Yang Su frowned, "Wouldn't the examiner be very casual?"

"This... there is no way, I don't want to take the exam, and there are still test questions and papers. I can only take this test. We try to be fair."

Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly from the side and said, "He Jun, you can actually ask six people to score at the same time. Then remove one highest and lowest points, add up the other four points and then average them, so it will be relatively fair."

Doctor He knew Yang Yuanqing and knew that he was not only Yang Su's precious grandson, but also valued by the emperor. He did not dare to neglect and said respectfully: "Although General Yang's method is excellent, we are not equipped with enough staff. There are only four examiners who have to finish more than 2,000 exams within three days. They can only take the exam separately, and there is no way."

Yang Su turned around and smiled, "Yuan Qing, the rules have been set, and it is not easy to change them now, so don't make things difficult for them anymore."

"Thank you, Yang Taipu, for understanding the difficulties of the humble ranks."

Yang Su smiled faintly and said nothing. At this time, an examiner from a distance shouted: "Dr. He, please come."

Doctor He hurriedly said to Yang Su: "Go to the binge and come back soon."

"You go and do it! Let's take a look at the exam room."

When Doctor He walked away, Yang Su smiled at Yuan Qing: "It's not that they don't have people, nor do they don't understand your methods. Instead, they must set the rules more dynamically to facilitate their artificial manipulation. In fact, as long as you look at the rules, you will understand what's going on."

Yang Su brought Yang Yuanqing to inspect the examination room, and he had his good intentions. He wanted to teach Yuanqing a lot of things. Yuanqing was in the frontier for a long time and was relatively simple and did not understand the darkness of the imperial court officialdom. Yang Su wanted to pass a martial arts examination so that his grandson could understand some of the unspoken rules of the officialdom.

Niu Niu also heard it beside her, and she frowned and said, "Grandfather, isn't it unfair to the candidates for doing this?"

Yang Su smiled slightly, "There is everything here, but there is no 'fairness'."

Seeing that Niu Niu wanted to say something else, Yang Yuanqing stopped her, "Niu Niu, just follow me, don't talk much."

Niu Niu had no choice but to glar at him fiercely. Yang Su smiled and said, "It's okay, Niu Niu asked very well. She asked the point. But when the examiner is here, don't ask this, so as not to be embarrassed by everyone."

They urged the horses to walk along the horse path. The military camp covers a very wide area, with hundreds of acres, and is divided into three areas. The military camp area to the south is the military camp area, which is the residence of the candidates. They are still in chaos. They can be heard vaguely. The examination room is directly east, and four large tents were temporarily set up. In another two hours, the examination will be held in three of the large tents at the same time.

The place they walked was the training area to the north, covering an area of ​​about 100 acres, and it was a wide grassland where they could practice riding and shooting, or weapons. Hundreds of people have already warmed up here for training.

All kinds of weapons flew in their hands, mostly spears and big swords, and were very skilled in martial arts. Yang Yuanqing looked while walking. These hundreds of people basically had no breakthroughs. Occasionally, those who were more skilled in martial arts were just equivalent to the late stage of the stagnant period. They could only barely be considered to be a master of martial arts, but it was almost impossible to become a real powerful general.

At this time, Yang Yuanqing suddenly saw a man, six feet tall and fat, standing out among the martial artists, dancing a pair of watermelon sledgehammers, each weighing 60 kilograms. He danced so hard that the wind was blowing, with a lot of momentum. There was a circle of people around him, applauding him.

Yang Yuanqing laughed and said to Yang Su: "Grandfather, do you recognize the fat man who dances hammer?"

Yang Su looked at it for a moment and smiled, "It seems like he is a child of my Yang family."

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Let me remind him!"

He took off the bow and arrow and opened the bow with one arrow. The force of the arrow was neither light nor heavy. At seventy steps, the wolf-tooth arrow shot on the sledgehammer. The sledgehammer stopped immediately, and everyone turned their heads and looked at this side in surprise.

The fat man who danced the hammer was Yang Wei. He was interrupted by Yang Yuanqing's arrow and looked at this side blankly. Suddenly, he shouted, dragged two sledgehammers and ran towards him, "Puu!" knelt in front of Yang Su.

"Grandson Yang Wei, kowtow to grandfather!"

He kowtowed three times, and Yang Su also remembered it a little, stroked her beard and smiled, "You are the fat boy from Jishanjia."

"It's me, grandfather, it's me!"

Yang Wei was extremely excited and kowtowed. Yang Yuanqing jumped off the horse, pulled him up, patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "How come you are here?"

Yang Wei scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "There are only two places in the family. Uncle II takes one away, and Uncle Ming also wants one away. It's not my turn. I can only come to the B List to try my luck."

Yang Su saw that Yuanqing and Yang Wei seemed to have a good relationship, and he was a little surprised. He knew that his son Jishan had a deep conflict with Yuanqing back then. Yuanqing actually had a good relationship with his son. When he thought about it, a hint of undetectable knowing smile appeared in his eyes. This grandson Yang Wei made him think of a solution.

"Haha! Didn't you grow up in a fight?" Yang Su urged to step forward and smiled.

In addition to being grateful to the people in the Yang Mansion, Yang Wei, in addition to the third uncle Xuan Zhuo, he also said that Yang Wei was the timely report to Yang Yuanqing felt a kindness of human nature. It was this kindness that made them lose all their grudges since childhood.

"Grandfather, wasn't it normal for children to fight when they were young?" Yang Yuanqing was also a little embarrassed.

"Well said!"

Yang Su was in a good mood all of a sudden, and the gloomy mood that had been in the past two days was wiped out. He couldn't help but stroke his beard and laughed.

Yang Wei saw Niu Niu wearing a red gauze dress. He also knew her. When he was a child, Niu Niu was beaten by him. He also smiled and said, "Niu Niu, are you my brother and sister now?"

Yang Wei's words made Niu Niu's face turn red, "Fat Sanlang, don't talk nonsense!" Niu Niu's face was sunk, but there was no anger in her eyes. It was this sentence that made her hatred for Yang Wei since she was a child fade away.

Yang Su was in a good mood. He asked Yang Wei: "Wei'er, are you allowed to take the second exam?"

"Grandfather, according to the rules, the A list is limited to the children of aristocratic families, and it is not said that the children of aristocratic families are not allowed to take the B list."

Yang Su nodded and said to Yang Yuanqing: "Remember, if there is a little bit of rigorousness in this text, there will be loopholes."

"Grandfather, don't the Lord know?"

"He is the king of a country and cannot control such details. These rules are formulated by the ministers below. I thought Li Gang was an upright person. It seems that his integrity is also full of water and a smooth person."

"Taifu, let Taifu wait for a long time."

After the doctor He came back from finishing his business, he bowed and said, "Please follow Beizhi to rest!"

Yang Su was also a little tired. He looked at the big tent in the distance and nodded, "Okay! Let's go and have a rest."

Everyone rode their horses towards the big tent, and Yang Wei followed behind. At this time, Yang Yuanqing remembered something, and he asked Yang Wei in a low voice, "Have you passed the archery exam?"

Yang Yuanqing remembered Pei Xingyan told him that Yang Wei was also practicing arrows temporarily, and he was a famous general. Can he pass the exam by riding and shooting?

Yang Wei smiled proudly and said, "I've inquired and got nine points!"

"How many points did you actually get?"

Yang Yuanqing felt something was wrong with this. How could a person who practices arrows temporarily get nine points?

Yang Wei sighed in frustration and said, "In fact, I only scored five points in the exam, and I gave me two thousand yuan, so it turned out to be nine points."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "Grandfather is here to patrol the examination room. I guess grandfather will see you get nine points, and he will definitely let you show him riding and shooting. What should you do?"

Yang Wei's face changed in fear. He shot six arrows, but only one arrow was shot. It was still luck. What should he do if his grandfather really wanted him to show riding and shooting?

"Yuanqing, what should I do?"

"If I were you, I would admit it on my own initiative. It would be better than being forced to admit it by my grandfather. After all, you have a good attitude. My grandfather likes honest people."

Yang Wei lowered his head and said nothing, asking him to admit that his two thousand yuan spent in vain, that was all his savings over the past few years.
