Although the distance is far away, it is impossible to see what they are writing exactly, but Chu Nanyue looked at Wang Chang's writing extremely fast and his thoughts were smooth, which can be said to be like a god in writing.

Liu Yiyang is not far behind, and he writes hard.

As for the others, Chu Nanyue has not yet seen any extremely good.

Chu Nanyue couldn't help but think of what Dongling Shuo said yesterday. If Liu Yiyang is really the person that the Ministry of War wants to protect, then according to the current situation, Liu Yiyang may indeed become a martial champion.

Liu Yiyang's only opponent is probably Wang Chang.

The hour had come, and everyone had stopped writing.

Zhao Jingyu was responsible for collecting all the papers in the candidates' hands, and then presented them to the emperor together.

Writing a strategy is undoubtedly a physical job.

It was so exhausting that many of those present were already sweating.

There are only a dozen exam papers in total. The emperor looked carefully, and when he read them one by one, he had already casually shook his head and threw most of them into Zhao Jingyu's hands.

In the end, the trio's strategy was left. Among them, there are Wang Chang and Liu Yiyang.

In the first two martial arts tests, although Wang Chang was the first, Liu Yiyang followed closely behind, and the two were barely equal.

Therefore, this strategy is extremely important to them. Everyone on the field has also realized that the emperor's difficult choice at the moment is probably because of this.

It was difficult for the emperor to choose, so he first announced the candidate for Tanhualang, and there were already ministers on the field to congratulate the third Tanhua, so as to recruit talents.

But most of the ministers in the court stared more and more with bated breath, waiting for the emperor to announce the candidate for Wu Zhuangyuan.

According to the experience of the liberal arts examination, the champion of the year is the focus of attention. Even if the list is too good, he is obscured by the champion.

Now the emperor is hesitating on this, which makes everyone's hearts hang.

"What Wang Chang replied was that he was biased towards the needs of the army." The emperor concluded, "And what Liu Yiyang replied was a decision that favored the rear. ”

It turned out that both of them attached importance to the role of generals and emperors in battle. And Wang Chang discussed the role of the generals in the army at great length. He was famous for his teacher, talked about the right time and place, and then reaffirmed the military discipline and strictly rewarded and punished.

As for Liu Yiyang, he talked about the need for lieutenant generals to obey the emperor, strictly abide by military discipline, and carry out orders.

The ministers on the field have some accuracy in their hearts. And this policy discussion invisibly touched a sensitive point in the DPRK and China.

To the surprise of some, this was what the Emperor was happy to talk about.

"Wang Chang, Liu Yiyang, I want to ask you again, if you were in the barracks today, would you still answer like this?" The emperor is kind and good.

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people are still like this." Wang Chang and Liu Yiyang said one after another.

Above the main hall, the emperor seemed to confirm again. However, the emperor did not give an answer, but threw the question to everyone again: "I really feel that these two talents are indistinguishable. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”

Meng Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, took the lead in standing up and said: "Your Majesty, in the selection of talents, perhaps the ministers are still cautious, Liu Yiyang is more prudent, and he is more loyal to His Majesty, and the ministers believe that Liu Yiyang is elected as the champion." ”

Meng Yuan had the power of the Ministry of War, and as soon as his words came out, many other ministers echoed him.

And Liu Yiyang's so-called stability is also from Meng Yuan's instructions.

Through years of experience in the court, Meng Yuan felt that the emperor would instinctively favor the stable side.

Leading the army to fight, or serving in the military department, is to control life and death, and you must not be careless.

On the dragon chair, the emperor frowned, and seemed to have an affirmative meaning.

But he heard Chu Nanyue suddenly walk out and said, "Your Majesty, in the heart of the last general, Fang Cai has also thought a lot, and it seems that his opinion is different from that of Lord Meng. ”

Meng Yuan watched Chu Nanyue speak, and knew that he was going to refute himself, he was anxious, but he knew that he couldn't turn his face with Chu Nanyue, that would only summon the emperor's disgust.

So there was no one in the palace to stop him, and Chu Nanyue opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, according to the last general, as Wang Chang said, according to the battle situation at that time, the good general can properly exercise his power and save the military situation, which is really safe." This so-called loyalty is not obedience. ”

Everyone present felt that Chu Nanyue was bold, and under the emperor's false situation, it was clear that it was safe to follow the emperor's order, but Chu Nanyue rejected it.

"General Chu, you might as well talk about it in detail." The emperor was in high spirits.

In his expression, he had no dissatisfaction with Wang Chang, nor was he partial to Liu Yiyang. Or maybe the emperor was really waiting for their new judgments, as well as the opinions of the courtiers.

With the emperor's consent, Chu Nanyue had a little confidence and said: "Your Majesty, although Liu Yiyang's safe method is not wrong and he has enough respect for His Majesty, but that is safe is the safety of the general's own position, but not the safety of the soldiers and Tanglin." ”

She spoke too bluntly, but she was telling the truth.

Everyone knows that if you don't want to take risks, it's safest to follow your will. But it also meant that the life and death of the soldiers were controlled by someone far away in the temple, who did not know all the specifics.

With Chu Nanyue's support, Wang Chang also had the courage to follow, and added: "The grass people believe that if Your Majesty empowers the generals, the generals must devote themselves to the army and the country. That's what grass people actually mean. ”

When it comes to this, it's actually clear.

Everyone waited for the silent emperor to speak, and the emperor's eyes looked at Wang Chang: "Wang Chang, I appreciate you very much." ”

With this sentence, Chu Nanyue and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and they were also happy for Wang Chang in their hearts.

Seeing that Meng Yuan and the others had turned teriose and helpless, the emperor finally announced the results of the palace examination.

Wang Chang became the first martial champion of Tanglin, while Liu Yiyang was the martial artist. The emperor immediately appointed Wang Chang as the squire of the military department and gave him a mansion. And Liu Yiyang is a member of the military department and has become Wang Chang's subordinate.

And as everyone thought before, Wu Zhuangyuan's name is really far away, and Liu Yiyang has paid a lot less attention than Wang Chang because he is a role model.

Because of the end of the martial arts test, several more people plan to return to their hometowns. Because they met the emperor in person, they received some preferential treatment, so each of them received more than ten taels of silver, which was used as the travel expenses.

Most of the martial arts people were recruited by the Ministry of War, and then the Ministry of War awarded military positions based on the results of the three martial arts examinations.

Meng Yuan even wrote a letter of recommendation to them and went directly back to the military camp in the province to serve again.

All in all, as long as the candidates can enter the palace examination, they can be regarded as having the opportunity to reach the imperial court and gradually be promoted.

And this was never the case before the establishment of the martial arts examination.

Chu Nanyue was helping several ministers arrange a place for those martial artists to go, when he saw Meng Yuan walking towards him.

"General Chu, it's not appropriate to suddenly speak like that for a newcomer today." Meng Yuan opened his mouth coldly.
