Chapter 62 The first level of the martial arts examination
Pei Min never expected that the thin old man who appeared in front of him at this moment was Guo Yuanzhen, the Minister of War. The two seniors of the Tang army today are Xue Na from the northeast, and the other is Guo Yuanzhen from the northwest standing in front of him. If the two long generals talk about military merits, Xue Na is the best, but Guo Yuanzhen from the day of making contributions, it will be even more difficult to make contributions.
Both of them were rank-level officials, guarding the northeast, and managing the northwest, defending the territory of the Tang Dynasty and protecting millions of people.
"Pei Min has met Shangshu Guo." Pei Min bowed and bowed, and his sincere respect for such a hero with great military achievements.
Guo Yuanzhen waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. You can find a place to sit in the hall and I will change my clothes. I want to see what kind of ability the person that Brother Xue likes is."
Pei Min felt something was wrong the more he was, and hurriedly said, "Sir Shangshu, the time for this martial arts exam is coming, so how can I have free time?"
Guo Yuanzhen turned around while wearing clothes and said strangely: "Dou Chen is responsible for Wukao, what do you and me?"
Pei Min was a little confused in the wind and said with a wry smile: "The Grand Duke has a place for the martial arts exam, which he gave me at the beginning. I came to take the martial arts exam this time, not to report it to the Ministry of War." At this moment, with his agility, he could not see the reason for the misunderstanding. He passed the Ministry of Personnel's re-examination and was already qualified to be an official. The rest is the reporting procedures. There is no time limit for this report. Pei Min planned to come to the Ministry of War to report it after taking the martial arts exam and officially become an official.
The guards of the Ministry of War recognized him and thought he was coming to the Ministry of War to report, so they brought him to Guo Yuanzhen and made a big mistake.
Guo Yuanzhen also understood the reason and said amused and laughed: "You have been the top scholar in high school and the top Jinshi, why should you be more than this?" Not only the court, but even the Secretary of Military Affairs did not take the military service seriously.
Pei Min hurriedly said, "Isn't this trying to make my resume more beautiful? I participated in this martial arts because of the martial arts. The top scholars in civil and military affairs are so nice to say."
"I'm a little confident!" Guo Yuanzhen was not disgusted with Pei Min's words at all, but nodded in praise.
Pei Min continued: "In addition, I also think that even if the military scholars are not as important as the literary scholars, they can seek talent for the country and do not distinguish between the front and back. It was just that the military scholars were not yet perfected, so no one cares about them now. Just like the literary scholars back then, the literary scholars were in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and no one took them seriously at that time. Even if the Sui Dynasty really founded the literary scholar system, it was not taken seriously. Until our dynasty, after years of reform, it was only when the military scholars were in a grand manner. The current status of the military scholars was indeed awkward, but in my opinion it was normal. As long as we dared to reform and do more reforms, we could promote useful talents for our Tang Dynasty. The military scholars would also have the prosperity of the Wen Ju today."
Guo Yuanzhen's eyes lit up and he pondered: "What you said makes sense, but the martial arts are all reckless men. What is the use of the country?" Guo Yuanzhen is the leader of strategy and does not know his courage. For some reason, this is said.
Pei Min smiled and said, "Since you know, why don't Master Shangshu submit a memorial to Your Majesty, and strategy should be the first priority for the military practice. Just like Wen Ju asks, first take the military strategy, and only then can you pass the military practice. In this way, the martial arts and Jinshi who won the final martial arts have strategic achievements, not to mention that they can be of great use. At least it is not started from scratch, and it will be much easier to cultivate."
Guo Yuanzhen looked at Pei Min deeply and said, "Brother Xue did not misunderstand this is indeed my dereliction of duty. Martial arts are the affairs of the Ministry of War. As the Minister of War, I don't pay attention to it. I really can't say it. I'll ask you to take you to the martial arts examination. I'll change my clothes and go back to the schoolyard to see if there are any heroes of the Tang Dynasty who are worth promoting." He said, and called a guard and asked him to lead Pei Min to the schoolyard to participate in the martial arts examination.
Pei Min squinted his eyes and smiled. Wu Ju was indeed not valued, but it did not mean that Wu Ju was useless. The famous Guo Ziyi was born as a martial Jinshi. If Wu Ju had not given Guo Ziyi the opportunity to be promoted, how could Guo Ziyi get a superb achievement in recreating the prosperous Tang Dynasty?
If the martial arts are done better, it is possible to have more handsome talents like Guo Ziyi. Of course, there are no characters like Guo Ziyi, but a few people like Li Dian can come to you, and it is also a good thing to be the best.
Following the guard, Pei Min came to the martial arts examination room.
Dou Chen looked at Shichen. Although it was not yet time, there was only Pei Min's person in the list. He smiled and said, "The time has arrived. Those who have not arrived are counted as." Before he finished speaking, he saw Pei Min and a soldier rushing to come. When Pei Min was at the Qujiang Banquet, he had seen him several times, so he recognized him. After thinking about it, he waved his hand and asked his servants to wait for a while.
If only Pei Min is still good, but although he could not name the guard, he knew that he often followed Guo Yuanzhen's close friend. Guo Yuanzhen had absolute voice in the Ministry of War and offended him, let alone Chang Yuankai, even Princess Taiping could not protect him. Princess Taiping said and acted, and was happy that he could turn the prime ministers below tens of thousands of people into local officials, or even exiled to Lingnan, but she could not help Guo Yuanzhen with great military achievements. Compared with the virtual achievements of civil servants, the merits of military officers are real. They fight to fight and fight, and they can't block the world's long mouths.
Dou Chen is not a fool, so he dare not be too presumptuous.
"Out of the coat!"
Dou Chen looked at Pei Min who handed over various information to his deputy and gave orders to Pei Min.
Pei Min took off her coat without hesitation.
This is the first level of Wuke and appearance.
It sounds nonsense, but it is the fact. The first level of the martial arts assessment is to see whether the candidate has a "magnificent torso" or whether he has the appearance of a general. If he has no capital, he will directly fail and lose the qualification to refer to it.
Pei Min was extremely despised in his heart: People should not behave like appearance. If they really look like this, if Guo Yuanzhen doesn’t say anything else, the first one will be unqualified. He was already thinking that in the future, he would have to remove this inexplicable condition first: taking the Wu Juren is not a beauty pageant, so what are the requirements for appearance?
Pei Min stood attentively, raised her chest and raised her head.
His figure is not strong, and he is even a little thin. But he is tall. With his recent training of chest muscles and abdominal muscles, he still has a deterrent power. He also has a heroic appearance, so it should not be a problem to pass this level.
Dou Chen looked left and right, but he really couldn't see anything wrong. He gave Pei Min a score on the roster in his hand: B!
Pei Min walked into the schoolyard with a smile. More than a hundred people had already cracked into formations in the middle of the schoolyard.
Compared with the more than 2,000 people in the liberal arts department, there are too few people in the martial arts department.
