There was a long table in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and a group of officials sat on chairs and busily received the martial arts candidates from various places who came to report.
A middle-aged man in his forties and a middle-aged man in his thirties came over carrying bags on their backs and swords on their waists.
They were brothers Guo Ziyi and Guo Youming, who came from their hometown to take martial arts exams.
At this time, the reception desk The place was already filled with martial arts candidates who came from all over the place.
Walking to the back of the crowd, Guo Youming couldn't help but frown and said: "Brother, there are so many people, it's a mess."
Guo Ziyi was about to speak when he suddenly saw an extremely tall and burly young general, who was meticulously dressed in armor, helmets, etc. and had a strict style of work, walking out of the gate of the Ministry of War Yamen.
This man came with several retinues who were also wearing helmets and armor.
Behind the reception officials.
I saw the young general clapped his hands, which attracted the attention of the officials at the reception desk and all the people who came to report for the military examination.
Everyone looked at him, and an official beside him made way.
He stepped forward and said: "Gentlemen at the reception desk, colleagues of officials As for all the candidates who came to report for the martial arts examination, a certain Zhao Ziliang, a doctor in the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, was summoned by His Majesty to be the deputy examiner for this military examination.
The examiner, Mr.
Niu Xianke, the Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, was bedridden due to illness and was unable to take part in the examination. , so this martial arts examination A few days ago, the Martial Arts Department counted the registration lists submitted by various prefectures and learned that there were more than 8,000 martial arts candidates from all over the country participating in the martial arts examination this year.
Man, this is the calendar year This is the largest number of people to participate in the martial arts examination, which shows that our Tang Dynasty has doubled its talent pool under His Majesty’s rule and leadership.
This is a good thing and a happy event.
However, due to the large number of people participating, it is also difficult for our Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War to hold this event.
Brought to the next martial arts competition It has caused a lot of trouble, but it doesn't matter.
The purpose of our military examination is to select generals for the imperial court.
The more people who participate, the better.
Whether you are outstanding in martial arts, far-reaching intellect, or good in both civil and military affairs.
Talented people all have a chance to be on the list There are two categories of subjects in the exam, one is intelligence and the other is martial arts, which can be divided into two categories: written test and martial arts competition.

Of course, some candidates may not be literate, so you need to ask your friends around you.
This is what a certain person said.
First thing.
Second, from today onwards, candidates who are coming to participate in the martial arts examination will arrive one after another.
Due to the large number of people, I hope you will not crowd together, because the more crowded the more time will be wasted.
Please follow the instructions in front of each reception official.
Line up on a first-come, first-served basis.
Everyone is hopeful.
Those who are on the list will join the army and become generals in the future, so they must learn to consciously abide by disciplines, and do not make noises, disputes, or even fights.
Once discovered, it is better to be disqualified from the martial arts examination.
Now, in accordance with the requirements of There is a line in front of the reception officials, come on, let’s start.”
After a burst of hustle and bustle, more than a dozen long lines formed in front of the reception desk.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, that's great.
From now on, if the martial arts athletes who come back later do not line up and do not follow the first-come-first-last order, I hope you will remind them to line up at the back.
When you check in later, you will need to show your road signs, household registration and military examination certificates or relevant certification documents for descendants of loyal and heroic deeds."
"Now what I am going to say is the third thing to pay attention to.
Everyone, listen up.
After the registration is completed, the candidates should not leave yet, but rest for a while at the pavilion next to it.
When fifty people are gathered, we will Someone will take you to arrange accommodation for you.

Our martial arts exam is different from the civil exam.
We will provide free food and accommodation to all martial arts candidates.
In other words, from the time you register here until the martial arts exam Once the trial is over, you won’t need to spend a penny.”
"Fourth, in your residence, you must abide by the relevant regulations.
Fighting and causing trouble are not allowed.
If you are able to use all your abilities during the competition, if you find someone fighting or even committing a crime, not only must you cancel the martial arts Hold a meeting to try out capital Ge, Zuo Jinwuwei will also pursue criminal responsibility.
I hope you will remember that this is what I have to say.
I wish you all good results in this martial arts examination.
Now the reception officials have officially begun to accept the examination.
Our registration."
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, the thousands of martial arts candidates in front of him suddenly burst into cheers.
No one in the past dynasties had ever thought so much about the candidates, and no one had ever offered free food and lodging to the candidates just to make them worry-free.
Going to participate in the competition and working hard for his future, Zhao Ziliang's prestige in the hearts of all the martial arts athletes instantly increased.
The officials began to sit down and register the first martial artist in each row.
They first checked the relevant certification documents, then registered their names and signed in.
The martial arts examinees in the back row began to discuss what Zhao Ziliang said just now.
Guo Youming said to Guo Ziyi: "Brother, I didn't expect that participating in the martial arts examination not only does not cost a penny, but also provides us with free food and accommodation.
Fortunately, we came to register first, and I didn’t find a place to stay before reporting, otherwise I would have spent money unjustly.”
A young strong man from the team next to him said to Brother Guo Ziyi: "I invited you, the two eldest brothers.
My name is Nan Jiyun.
He is now a team leader in Zuojinwuwei.
I don't know who the two eldest brothers are."
Guo Ziyi quickly returned the favor and said, "It turns out that my brother is serving as a guard in Zuojinwu Guard.
I am disrespectful and disrespectful.
My name is Guo Ziyi, and I am Guo Youming, my brother."
Nan Jiyun said with a smile: "You two brothers don't know.
In previous years, during the martial arts examination, the candidates had to solve the problem of food and accommodation by themselves.
This year, General Zhao presided over the martial arts examination and decided to allow the common people and officials at all levels to They watched, but they had to charge admission fees.
In addition, merchants in Chang'an City were allowed to pay to buy conspicuous places in the venue to display the banner of their business.
General Zhao used these wallets He left many inns in the city and some barracks of the Forbidden Army for the candidates to stay during the military examinations.
He also used the remaining money to buy rice, vegetables and meat for the candidates to eat for free.
Therefore, General Zhao held this event.
Not only did the martial arts exam not ask for a penny from the imperial court, but it also solved the problem of food and lodging for the martial arts candidates.
More than 8,000 people needed food and lodging for seven days in Chang'an City.
How much does it cost?"
Hearing this, Guo Ziyi sighed: "Someone in the countryside had heard about General Zhao's deeds of frightening the cavalrymen at the border.
I didn't expect General Zhao to have such a clever move in civil affairs.
This would be very convenient for those of us who have done a lot of military work. " Other martial arts candidates also praised Zhao Ziliang's clever move, which not only saved the court a lot of phone calls, but also greatly facilitated the martial arts candidates.
Otherwise, the martial arts candidates would have to compete with the martial arts candidates for positions.
The civil examination candidates The candidates had been in Chang'an for many days, and many inns and hotels were already full.
If Zhao Ziliang had not made such arrangements, it is estimated that most of the martial arts candidates would not have a place to live.
Ma Lin, who was standing not far away, sighed: "I came all the way from my hometown to the capital, and I have already exhausted all my expenses on the way.
I originally thought I would be hungry during the martial arts examination, but I didn't expect that I would no longer have to spend money after registration.
It’s great to have free food, drink and accommodation.
General Zhao’s move is indeed a wise one despite his reputation.”

Nan Jiyun said with some pride: "Of course, my General Zhao was just an insignificant soldier back then.
How could he go from being a small soldier to becoming the Lord of Tuoyun Castle, the Lord of Dial City, and the Lord of Broken City without any talents?
Governor of Ye Dudu Mansion, General Zuojian Gate Guard, and General Zuojin Wuwei” The martial arts candidates around him couldn't help but suddenly realized: "It turns out that Brother Nan has served under General Zhao, no wonder it is so clear."
After Zhao Ziliang finished lecturing the martial arts candidates, he returned to the yamen of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War and found Zuo Yuanwailang and asked: "Are all the judges, examiners and handymen gathered together?"
Zuo Yuanwailang cupped his hands and said: "General, we gathered them all yesterday afternoon."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Zuo Yuanwailang: "Let's go over and have a look."
"promise"
All the selected referees, examiners and handymen were gathered in the barracks of the left gate guard.
There were soldiers stationed around and the guards were so tight that not even a mosquito could fly in or out.
When Zhao Ziliang arrived with a group of officials, these referees, examiners and handymen were all standing or chatting in a circle on the grass of the military camp.
With a loud shout: "General, everyone is waiting to assemble" The officials responsible for managing these referees, examiners and handymen heard the sound and immediately ran over and shouted loudly, asking these people to gather quickly.
After all, they were all trained generals and soldiers.
Under the organization of the officials, hundreds of people quickly formed three square teams.
The first square team was the official team for the examination, the second was the referee team, and the third team was Three are handymen.
Zuo Zhanggu was in charge of the officials.
When the team was assembled, he turned around and ran to Zhao Ziliang to report: "General, all the judges, examiners and servants have been assembled.
Please give instructions to the general."
Zhao Ziliang stepped forward and said loudly: "I believe you all know very well that you have been selected as the referees, examiners and handymen for this martial arts examination.
The reason why you are gathered here in advance is to prevent you from contact with the outside world. , just to prevent the occurrence of cheating in the martial arts examination, I hope you can understand that from now on until the beginning of the martial arts examination, you are not allowed to go out.
Eat, drink and have sex here.
After the martial arts examination begins, After that, someone will take you to the examination room.
After the examination every day, someone will take you back, and then take you to the examination room the next day.
During this period, you cannot talk to anyone.
You can have complaints, but please Hidden in your heart, because this is a military order, whether you like it or not, you must implement it.
Once you find that someone has liaison with the outside world and helps candidates commit fraud in the examination room, do you, the military law enforcement officer, understand?"
"I understand" involves military orders, and no one dares to laugh.
Zhao Ziliang nodded: "Very good.
As long as you complete this martial arts test without any mistakes, you will all receive corresponding financial subsidies.
According to your military position and rank, it can range from ten to twenty passes at most to two passes at least."
Having money to take made all the officers and soldiers in the generals and colleges feel high-spirited and swept away their previous depression
