The literary test was over, and Zhu Cheng participated in the martial arts examination again.

The Ming Dynasty did not attach much importance to the military examinations. The provincial examinations for the military examinations were often held, but the imperial examinations were not necessarily the case. They were often dragged and stopped. Otherwise, the famous general Xiong Tingbi would not have taken the imperial examinations as a military scholar. However, this year, since Zhu Youcheng made a great wish to win six yuan in a row, Emperor Tianqi instructed that the martial arts examinations must be held, not only to be held, but also to be grand and to promote the style of equal importance to civil and military affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

The examiner of the martial arts exam was Xu Xianchun, the commander of the third-rank Jinyiwei.

Xu Xianchun's plan to marry Wei Honglian has not been successful yet, because Wei Honglian said that Zhu Youcheng was about to take the scientific exam. Now holding a wedding will waste his time and affect his test scores. Everything will be said to wait until Zhu Youcheng wins the top scorer. Therefore, Xu Xianchun is even more anxious than Zhu Youchun. During the exam, the expression on his face was full of words. I want to judge Zhu Youcheng as the first.

The martial arts competition venue was still in the East School Factory. Wei Zhongxian, the head of the eunuch who loves money, naturally would not miss this opportunity to make a fortune. He made a fortune through the tickets, but all the money obtained from selling the tickets was entered into the inner treasury of Emperor Tianqi. Wei Zhongxian was greedy, but he never reached out to the inner treasury, because he looked at Emperor Tianqi just like his own nephew. How could he get the money in his pocket?

The competitions in the imperial examination are the same as those in the provincial examination, which are weightlifting, shooting, horse riding and equestrianism. However, the competition is much more intense. After all, it is a national test with a lot of talents, which is different from the provincial examination.

Zhu Youcheng raised a 200-pound stone lock this time. After a year, his strength grew a lot. He thought he was firmly ranked first, but he didn't expect that after dividing by weight, he was only 0.01 more than the second place. It seems that there are so many heroes in the world. If he compares the scores in the provincial examination, he may not be able to fall on his first place.

There is nothing to say about shooting. Even if all the candidates did not hit the bull's eye, they would shoot near the bull's eye and their grades were better. But in terms of riding and shooting, the distance between the candidates was widened. These people did not fall off the horse, but the shooting results were a bit terrible. Some only shot one or two arrows, and some were all off the target. The most outrageous one was a candidate who was probably confused and shot an arrow at the examiner. Fortunately, Xu Xianchun was also a martial arts Jinshi, and he cut the arrow with one knife, which saved his life. Xu Xianchun was so angry that he asked someone to beat the candidate out of the examination room.

When Zhu Youcheng shot, Wang Chengen was the saddest because he had washed the quilt he had used last time clean. This time, he had to take it out and lay it behind the target to prevent stray bullets from hurting people and getting dirty again. In fact, when Zhu Youcheng saw him taking off the quilt, he had already reminded him that he would use it during the test and put the quilt there, leaving it there, but Wang Chengen just ignored it and ordered the person to wash it cleanly, and it was dry and then dry.

Zhu Youcheng's yellow-fat horse has been trained and has been mentally prepared for the huge sound. However, for the sake of insurance, Zhu Youcheng still stuffed cotton into its ears. After the three guns, three small holes arranged in a font shape appeared on the bull's eye.

After the results of all the candidates came out, Xu Xianchun frowned very tightly. This exam was really talented. There were more than 20 people in the bull's-eye shooting six times. Who is the best to be judged? Fortunately, the deputy director Tian Ergeng suggested that he should use a ruler to measure the problem. Zhu Youcheng won with a slight advantage of 0.01 inches ahead of others.

During the riding competition, the yellow-fat horse showed great power, but the horses of other candidates were not slow. In the end, Zhu Cheng defeated his opponent with the advantage of a horse head.

Xu Xianchun was so happy that his eyes narrowed. Now Zhu Youcheng is a foregone conclusion. Although he had watched Zhu Youcheng's performance in the countryside, he was still a little worried about his examination, because although the martial arts atmosphere in the north is strong, there are often fierce people in the south. For example, Yu Dayou is from Fujian and was invincible in the world. This time, Zhu Youcheng narrowly won three times, but he was so anxious that both hands were sweating. As for the literary test questions of the martial arts examination, he was not worried at all. The martial arts men were all very familiar with literature and ingenuity. Isn't it obvious that Zhu Youcheng, Jie Yuan, compared with them to write, isn't it obvious that he bullies them?

Xu Xianchun looked at the list copied by his subordinates. First place, Zhu Youcheng, second place, Luo Yangxing, third place, Wu Xiang...

Xu Xianchun smiled coldly. Does Luo Yang's nature think that taking the martial arts exam can lead to a good background? The Luo family has a very bad impression of Emperor Tianqi. If you want to change the emperor's view, it would be more difficult than climbing to heaven. Even if you pass the Jinshi exam, you will be a seventh-rank military officer.

Xu Xianchun wanted to speak out the ranking of the martial arts competition loudly, but Luo Yangxing suddenly bowed and said, "Sir, the chief examiner, the martial arts competition has not been completed, why are you in a hurry to announce the ranking? Is there anything inside?"

Xu Xianchun was stunned. Luo Yangxing's question made him smell a little conspiracy. He said: "There are four items in this competition, namely, stone lock, shooting, riding and riding. It has been announced long ago. All candidates in the martial arts subject know that no one has raised questions."

"That's because they don't know the relationship between the examiner and Zhu Youcheng. It is said that Mr. Xu will marry Zhu Youcheng's mother, Miss Wei Honglian, in June this year. Is this rumor true or false?"

Xu Xianchun refused to give a positive answer.

There was a whisper in the audience, and everyone doubted the fairness of Zhu Youcheng's victory.

There was a young man in white robe and an old man in blue robe who were also talking softly. They were Emperor Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian who were secretly leaving the palace to watch the battle.

Emperor Tianqi was stunned and asked, "Wei Ban... San, Wei San, why haven't you heard you say that your daughter is going to marry Xu Xianchun?"

"Emperor... Mr. Huang, this is a trivial matter for their children. How can you get into the noble ears of the young master?"

"I have made a mistake. If I had known it, I would have changed to another person to take the lead. With Zhu Youcheng's ability, I don't need to let go of the water at all. I will be a steady Huiyuan. By the way, Wei San, how is his literary scholar?"

Wei Zhongxian took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed it to the emperor, saying, "I asked someone to copy Zhu Youcheng's test paper, Huang Gongzilong... enjoyed it with precious eyes."

Emperor Aoki unfolded the paper and read it carefully. The more he read, the more he smiled on his face, and when he read it, he shook his head.

"Wei San, I... I like this article very much. The article is written with great momentum and is much better than the previous one's top scorer. It seems that he is also the undergraduate Wenhuiyuan. I will put the article away and show it to Master Sun when the time comes."

Master Sun is Sun Chengzong, the teacher of Emperor Tianqi, and is now the second assistant to the cabinet.

In the venue, Xu Xianchun calmed down and did not do anything. Even if the emperor sent someone to investigate, he could not find any problems. Moreover, his father-in-law is a celebrity of the emperor and would protect himself if something happened. He said, "I am unwilling to abandon the emperor and serve as the undergraduate exam. My sincere heart can be seen. In this competition, all the scores were revealed to the public. Everyone at the scene was witnessed, and I am afraid that you would not be able to report it?"

"That's not necessarily the case. Tang Yin and Wencai were the best in the world, but they were involved in the crime fraud case and were not allowed to enter the officialdom for the rest of their lives. It doesn't matter. I wonder if Zhu Youcheng is willing to accept this result?"

Xu Xianchun shook all over. If Zhu Youcheng could not enter the officialdom for the rest of his life because of him, I am afraid that neither Wei Zhongxian nor Wei Honglian would let him go.

"How are you going? Do you want me to declare you first?"

"No matter who you announce is the number one, there will be endless controversy, so I won't force anyone to do anything. I only have one request, which is to win the martial arts competition. Since it is a martial arts competition, the ranking should naturally be determined by the level of martial arts."

Xu Xianchun turned to Wu Xiang and Zhu Youcheng and asked, "Luo Sigong asked for a martial arts competition. Do you two have any opinions?"

Zhu Youcheng laughed and said, "I thought the martial arts competition should be a competition. Since someone asked me, I will naturally respond. Otherwise, people would say that my Huiyuan is a silver-like wax gun tip."

Wu Xiang also nodded and said, "It's natural to compete in martial arts, but I don't want to compete with Lord Zhu anymore, because I have lost once, so I won't be ugly anymore."

Wu Xiang lost a bit unfairly last time. He originally wanted to make a good deal of it and make up his money, but when he thought about his son Wu Sangui was studying at Tongle Primary School in Huangzhuang, if Zhu Youcheng was injured, his son would be in trouble and simply admit defeat.

Seeing that the three of them agreed to the competition, Xu Xianchun said, "Since that's the case, then I will agree to your competition. However, after the meeting, everyone is in the same year. They should keep a three-point affection until they hit the target, so that they can meet each other in the future."

The audience saw that there was another excitement to watch and cheered loudly.
