Chapter 65: Lectures on Martial Arts Examination
The rising sun rises, and Xiyuan ushers in a new day.
The students gathered here, especially those of the martial arts lecture halls like Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, and Huang Degong, were all holding on to the powerful tiger generals.
Since Zhou Yuji led his team, he rushed to Shaanxi under the imperial edict, and led the Yongwei camp alone and participated in the fight against rebellions and bandits.
The senior generals all want to pass the assessments designated by the emperor to prove their own abilities, so that they can share the worries of the emperor like Zhou Yuji!
There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.
Why can't they do what Zhou Yuji can do?
What's the difference?
A capable tiger general has always had his own pride.
The same period poses the same period poses the same period, but in terms of comparing abilities, you cannot admit defeat!
"You said... what will happen to the assessment that Your Majesty is going to hold today?"
"It's really hard to guess. After all, who can guess His Majesty's thoughts?"
"I'm so anxious. How long has it been? Why has the imperial guards of His Majesty yet arrived at the Imperial Terrace of Xiyuan?"
"Old Confucius, we gathered according to the military rules of the martial arts hall. Only a stick of incense has passed. What a worry! Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
"Ha ha……"
The members of the senior generals present burst into laughter, and even the other students in the martial arts lecture hall laughed laughing.
"My tiger generals are all ready to show their power."
The laughter from the Imperial Platform in Xiyuan called the approaching Emperor Chongzhen to hear it and said with a faint smile: "Han Zanzhou, are you ready for everything?"
"Your Majesty, you're all ready."
Han Zanzhou bowed slightly and said, "Also, the sons of the honorary and relatives who were previously issued by the emperor and expelled from the martial arts lecture hall will be gathered under the imperial edict."
"Um."
Emperor Chongzhen responded, and said nothing more. He was the emperor who was in charge and headed towards the Imperial Terrace of Xiyuan.
The current situation in the court has changed a lot, and there are many things to do. Taking advantage of this special situation, we can do the work of the martial arts lecture hall well and plan the Beijing camp, which can be considered as completing the previous plan.
"Your Majesty is here..."
"Bang!"
Han Zanzhou's voice sounded at the Xiyuan Imperial Platform. This made the anxious waiting team immediately calm down, leaning on their feet, raising their chests, holding their heads up, and then saluted in an orderly manner, saying loudly: "Greetings to Your Majesty!"
In the queue, Wu Sangui, Zu Zerun and Zu Zepu's hearts were filled with sighs and feelings.
Although I didn't have been to the Xiyuan Martial Arts Hall for a long time, everything here is familiar, unfamiliar to them, and is full of differences everywhere.
Emperor Chongzhen, who was walking towards the queue with his hands down, glanced at everyone in the queue after standing still, and reached out and said, "Don't give me a gift."
"Loyal to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Loyal to the country!"
For Emperor Chongzhen, the first priority of creating a martial arts lecture hall and cultivating full-time professional soldiers is to cultivate their loyalty and belief.
After all, in the current Ming Dynasty, there is no idea of family and country justice.
Children of good backgrounds are first loyal to their own clans, and secondly, they will have the choice of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. Once there is a conflict between the two, most people will often choose the former first rather than swearing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
"I know you, and everyone is thinking about something."
Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "I thought I could hold the martial arts lecture hall assessment as soon as possible, so that after passing the assessment, I could leave this ghost place.
I was promoted by me to share my worries, the country and the court, and at the same time competed with Zhou Yuji and the others."
Emperor Chongzhen's words made the generals present smile a little, but soon became restrained.
That's right.
Although it is very good at the Xiyuan Martial Arts Hall, it cannot truly prove their own abilities and abilities.
"Before the assessment begins, I ask you to make a choice."
Seeing everyone's reaction, Emperor Chongzhen stood up with his hands behind his back and said, "Call those people to me, hide them one by one, what's the matter."
"Here!"
With Han Zanzhou's orders, he was ordered by Emperor Chongzhen to expel the sons of honor and relatives from the martial arts lecture hall and appeared in front of everyone.
Zhang Shize and his others, the only son of Xunqi, who was in the senior general class and was not driven away by Emperor Chongzhen, showed a deep affection for surprise!
Wu Sangui and the others showed a look of surprise.
Cao Wenzhao and Mao Chenglu and other tiger generals showed different expressions.
They were not very clear about what the emperor drove the children of the honorary family out of the martial arts hall because of poor rectification of the Beijing camp. Now he shouted them again.
"They are all your former sanity."
Emperor Chongzhen pointed at the sons of the Xunqin, looked at Cao Wenzhao and others and said, "For some special reasons, I was expelled from the martial arts lecture hall.
But I thought about it afterwards, will the wrong things my father did affect the younger generation?
In addition, these people often submit memorials to me, begging me to let them return to the martial arts hall.
Now it’s time for the martial arts lecture hall assessment, I thought about it and decided to leave this decision to you. They stay or go are all within your thoughts.”
After saying that, Emperor Chongzhen swayed his robe sleeve and walked slowly towards the imperial platform.
This decision is also a test for all members of the martial arts lecture hall.
After all, asking these Xunqin's children to come back means that their chances of passing the assessment have been relatively reduced.
It is difficult to make a choice in the face of the future and the interests ahead.
But for Emperor Chongzhen, he needed to test the existing martial arts lecturers in this way.
If you want to train a new army in the Ming Dynasty, the comrades who can hand over your back must be shaped.
The previous Ming Dynasty, after the Battle of Sarhu, there were countless things that were stabbing the knife secretly since the beginning of the Battle of Sarhu.
This also led to a large number of Ming army, but very few trusted each other.
If he really wants to defeat the brave and warlike Jianlu Eight Banners and pacify the bandit forces in the wandering places, Emperor Chongzhen must train the new army he wants.
"Please give your grace to the outside world and allow them to return to the martial arts lecture hall!!"
Under the uneasy gaze of the children of Xunqi, a roar in unison resounded throughout the Xiyuan Imperial Platform.
Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong, Mao Chenglu, Zhang Shize, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming...
Too many students from the school have expressed their true thoughts, and of course some of them have not spoken.
Human hearts are always complicated.
"The assessment begins."
Emperor Chongzhen, who heard this, ignored the queue in front of him and looked at Han Zanzhou and said, "Call the general of the Han Dynasty who accompanied him in charge of the examination.
