In the forty-sixth year of Qin Lan, Qiao Mu had basically given up and let her great-grandson take the imperial examination.
Through two years of teaching.
Although the person in charge of teaching recognized Xiao Changsheng's memory, he was completely disappointed with his poetry writing ability and policy making ability.
"There is only one sentence left that cannot be carved out of rotten wood."
Then he took his leave.
Later, Qiao Mu did not believe in evil and handed out a few papers and asked her great-grandson to answer. Indeed, he basically made no mistakes in all the contents about direct memory and recitation, but there were poems about the examination of scholars and strategies for recruiting people. Yes, it's bad, but it's really bad.
There is absolutely no problem for children of this level.
But behind, it¡¯s really hard to say.
According to Qiao Mu, if you are lucky, you may be able to get a good place among the scholars, but there is absolutely no hope of being elected. As the saying goes, you will see old age at the age of three and learn these things. In fact, the same is true. After two or three years of learning, As long as there are no adventures in the future, or a sudden enlightenment in the mind.
Then the outcome is basically decided.
¡°Besides, my memory is not easy to solve, but my talent for poetry is really hard to say.
This requires creativity and imagination.
" Qiao Mu can't just write a collection of poems for him and let him memorize it to prepare for the exam.
Therefore, Qiao Mu immediately asked him to stop studying literature for the time being, and instead concentrate on learning various martial arts and military techniques. Although martial arts does not require a high level of education, understanding of military techniques is still needed. Only knowing martial arts, but not understanding military techniques, is It is also impossible to succeed in martial arts.
And the art of war is mostly monopolized by families of military commanders.
Very few rumors.
So although on the surface everyone can participate in martial arts, in reality, the monopoly of knowledge in all aspects and the amount of family wealth have restricted most people to a certain extent.
Poor in literature and rich in martial arts.
Practicing martial arts is more expensive than studying literature.
Fortunately, Qiao Mu and his family were not short of money or various military skills, so it didn¡¯t take long to train Xiao Changsheng.
Cultivated to the innate state.
And registered him for the new martial arts examination.
The martial arts examination, like the imperial examination, is held every three years. The only difference is that the martial arts examination is not as cumbersome as the imperial examination. As long as you seize the time, you can directly become the number one scholar in martial arts.
Unlike the imperial examination, no matter how fast the speed is.
¡°That would also take three years.
So, in the spring of Qinlan's forty-seventh year, Xiao Changsheng entered the martial arts examination room at the age of seventeen with the encouragement or comfort of Qiao Mu and others.
Then, it was a sweep all the way.
Those who participate in the martial arts examinations are basically the children of military generals¡¯ families, and most of the military generals¡¯ families practice external skills.
There are very few people who have the secrets of internal strength, and even fewer who can practice the secrets of internal strength.
Xiao Changsheng¡¯s innate realm was mixed into it.
That¡¯s simply bullying.
Therefore, he fought smoothly from spring to autumn, and took part in the martial arts examination with those who took the Qiu Gui Jinshi examination in the autumn.
Then he undoubtedly became the top scholar in martial arts.
And follow the rules.
Was awarded the position of sword-wielding guard in front of the emperor.
After that, it was a horse parade through the streets.
However, Wu Zhuangyuan has never been as popular and eye-catching as Wen Zhuangyuan. Even if they paraded together on horseback, the flower embroidered bag thrown at Xiao Changsheng was far inferior to the one next to him who was obviously more than ten years older than him. There are many literary champions.
This is because he is young and handsome.
The older Wu champion in previous years.
The treatment is worse than him.
Although this kind of difference in treatment did not cause any real harm, it was heartbreaking. When he returned home from the trip, Xiao Changsheng was not in a good mood, and even felt a little depressed.
However, when everyone was celebrating together, it was hard for Qiao Mu to ask him directly. It wasn¡¯t until the celebrating crowd dispersed that Qiao Mu called him aside and asked:
¡°Isn¡¯t today a happy day?
Why are you unhappy? "
¡°Ancestor, I don¡¯t understand why I am not as popular as Wen Zhuangyuan. He is much older than me and not as good-looking as me.
Why are you more popular than me?
And his official position is not as high as mine.
Even if he were the top scholar in literature, he would not be able to become a seventh-grade Imperial Academy editor in the end, but I, the top scholar in martial arts, was a third-grade scholar from the beginning.??There is a gap of seven levels between the guards with swords in front of the emperor!
Are those people mentally ill?
??Also, why do so many people say that the martial arts examination is not as good as the imperial examination? I think the military examination is obviously better. The top candidates in the imperial examination in the past dynasties initially received the highest rank from the sixth rank.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The number one scholar in martial arts was at the third level from the beginning.
??????? Either a guard with a sword in front of the emperor or a general.
This is obviously better for martial arts.
Moreover, although those literary champions with good luck may become first-rank officials, they are only a minority. Most literary champions, who are less lucky, may not be able to reach the third-rank ranks in their lifetime, but this is only for our martial arts champions. At first, there were such obvious differences and gaps.
Don¡¯t those ordinary people know? "
Not to mention, Xiao Changsheng really has such doubts. In his opinion, one side starts at the third level, and the other side starts at the sixth level at most. No matter how you look at these two, they should both start at the third level. It's better over there.
¡°So what if ordinary people know, the right to speak in this world is still controlled by those literati.
They feel noble.
The imperial examination is naturally superior to others.
Let me give you an analogy. The emperor¡¯s internal stewards, writing eunuchs, etc. are at least comparable to the second-rank officials in the court, or even the first-rank officials, you know.
But look at the officials in the court, who thinks highly of them? Some things are difficult to say on the surface, but in private, everyone calls them eunuchs and eunuchs. The people do not recognize their official positions and only think that they are members of the emperor's family. slave.
It sounds nice to have a sword-carrying guard in front of the emperor.
He is indeed a military attach¨¦ of the third rank.
¡°But in the eyes of those civil servants, they are actually the guards who show the emperor the door. If they die, they are the captain of the guards who show the emperor the door.
The eighth-rank county magistrate on one side can be called a parent official, while the third-rank county magistrate on the other side looks after the gate.
How can they like it? Maybe they think that you, a third-grade official, are not as noble as their Hanlin Academy editor.
But don¡¯t underestimate yourself.
We noble families have been ostracized by the civil servants, so we don¡¯t have to argue with them. A high starting point naturally means that we will be promoted quickly in the future, so there is no need to worry about this.
They climbed from the seventh level to the third level.
Even if you never make mistakes, you will always have merit.
Normally it would take more than ten years.
Isn¡¯t this ten years your advantage? Why do you have to worry about this matter?
The one who laughs to the end is the winner! "
Faced with his great-grandson¡¯s entanglement, Qiao Mu first explained the reason to him, and then began to comfort him through aspects that were beneficial to him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
