He always felt that he would be embarrassed this time.

Sure enough, not long after Zhu Xiuyuan walked over, there was loud laughter from the other side.

Hahahaha...I got angry right away.

The patrolling Jinwu guards were startled and hurriedly came over and beat their backs to calm down. After working for a while, Zhu Xiuyuan finally regained his breath.

And Han Qingshan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

This time, he was not sitting next to Niu Gang, so there was no way of knowing what Niu Gang wrote that could make Zhu Xiuyuan laugh.

Soon, Zhu Xiuyuan brought Niu Gang's roll of paper to the Chinese army's tent.

"My dear, I heard your laughter just now, haha, what is it this time?"

Chen Huang stood up and took two quick steps down.

Concubine You pursed her lips with a smile and followed her down, dragging her long skirt.

The civil and military ministers on the left and right turned their heads one after another and stared at the folded paper in Zhu Xiuyuan's hand.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, and all the ministers, this time... I just laughed out loud outside. Please be careful, Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, and all the ministers, and don't laugh out loud because of this."

Zhu Xiuyuan could hardly hold it in any longer.

"That's natural. I'll just say it here. You should pay attention to it. If you laugh out loud, it has nothing to do with Zhu Aiqing and Niu Gang. Come on, my dear, let me take a look. This time Niu Gang did it again.

What new tricks have you come up with?"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, and all the ministers, this is Niu Gang's rolling paper..."

Zhu Xiuyuan said, holding both ends of the roll paper with both hands, and slowly unfolded it.

"Tian Xingjian..." Chen Huang read from the first question, "Chickens are constantly striving for self-improvement...Chickens are constantly striving for self-improvement? Chickens? Hahaha, my God, what on earth is this Niu Gang thinking, little chickens?

, Haha, it really made me laugh to death!”

"Your Majesty, there is another story behind it: The terrain is Kun, the gentleman... drinks wine and eats meat!"

"Drinking wine and eating meat?! Oh my God!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Just the first question was so powerful that the people in the Chinese army's tent were filled with laughter.

Emperor Chen leaned forward and backward, his demeanor completely lost.

The ministers were even worse. Some of them sat on the ground and beat their chests.

As for Concubine You, although she tried her best to suppress her soaring smile, she could no longer suppress it any more. The laughter was flowing wildly in her body, causing her delicate body to tremble...

Zhu Xiuyuan was dizzy for a moment. The jumping up and down, the swinging left and right, the arc drawn in the air... it was simply life-threatening and beyond the description of words. He quickly looked away.

"The edge of teeth comes from grinding... What, teeth? Oh my God, hahaha... The fragrance of mutton comes from the bitter cold... Does the fragrance of mutton come from the bitter cold?"

"Who is this person? Why is he always thinking about drinking and eating meat?"

"But it's so funny, hahahaha, I haven't laughed like this for a long time, hahahaha..."

…

…

There were fifty questions in total. After just reading the first ten questions, Emperor Chen and his ministers shouted that they couldn't do it anymore, gasping for air. If they continued laughing, they would be killed.

All the doctors in the palace also rushed over.

Emperor Chen and Concubine You didn't have any problems, but several ministers laughed so hard that they almost confessed here.

Fortunately, the imperial doctor arrived in time and provided assistance, so a tragic disaster was avoided.

By the time they finished laughing, all the second round of cloze papers had been marked.

The statistical results were sent. Of the more than fifty candidates who took part, only ten met the passing conditions.

Including Han Qingshan, Lin Bochang, Huang Zhigao, Wu Shaoguang, Zhu Li, and several other new faces.

In addition, Niu Gang's weird paper brought laughter to Emperor Chen and his ministers, so Emperor Chen gave him an extra favor and granted Niu Gang the opportunity to participate in the third round of "battle case analysis" by passing the second round of cloze.

.

The analysis of battle cases will be personally conducted by veteran generals such as King Zhongshan, King Poyang, and King Jiangdu.

Without writing and ink, it is equivalent to an "interview". King Zhongshan and the others need to screen out qualified generals.

Zhu Xiuyuan actually didn't understand much, so he didn't go. Instead, he accompanied Emperor Chen and Concubine You back to the palace, where he prepared for the palace examination in Fengtian Hall.

Less than half an hour later, news came that after unanimous assessment by King Zhongshan and other veterans, a ranking was determined for the more than ten candidates:

Han Qingshan was first, Lin Bochang was second, Huang Zhigao was third, and Wu Shaoguang was fourth.

Then it was gone.

The remaining six or seven people could not fall into the eyes of King Zhongshan.

Therefore, there are only these four who enter the palace to take the imperial examination.

...Chen Huang was very interested and set the questions himself and assessed them himself.

About half an hour later, Chen Huang personally arranged the final ranking of the martial arts competition:

The number one scholar is undoubtedly Han Qingshan.

Second place on the list is Lin Bochang.

The third place winner was Wu Shaoguang.

The fourth Jinshi was Huang Zhigao.

The ranking of No. 1 pick, No. 2 pick, and No. 3 pick is quite normal.

It's just that this Jinshi, according to the original rules, naturally cannot be ranked like this.

However, these terms were all "initiated" by Zhu Xiuyuan and are still used in martial arts, so let him use them as he pleases.

"Han Qingshan, you won the top prize in the martial arts examination, so the position of deputy general of the Divine Thunder Army should have been yours." After announcing the ranking, Chen Huang sat on the dragon chair and his tone gradually became solemn.

"But after all, you are an expert outside the world. Although you have participated in martial arts, if I only give you the position of deputy general, I will be laughed at by the world."

"I wish Aiqing..." Huang Chen looked at Zhu Xiuyuan with a smile on his face, "I intend to transfer Han Qingshan away from the Divine Thunder Army and find another position. I wonder what Aiqing wants?"

"It's all up to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xiuyuan bowed his hands and bowed.

To be honest, Han Qingshan would not stay in the Divine Thunder Army. He had already guessed this. Since Emperor Chen asked him, he should just go with the flow.

"Yes." Emperor Chen nodded, then looked at Han Qingshan and asked with a smile: "Yesterday, the post of General of the Imperial Guard was vacant. I want to transfer you to the Imperial Guard and become a general. I don't know what you want.

How about next?”

Han Qingshan looked excited and immediately shouted to his face: "Your Majesty has the final say!"

Emperor Chen was very satisfied with Han Qingshan's performance and immediately decided to transfer Han Qingshan to the right guard of the Imperial Forest as a general.

As Emperor Chen waved his hand, several palace maids had already come out, carrying a tray. On the tray were the official seal, official uniform, sword, armor and other items of General Yulinwei.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene. Is Emperor Chen so impatient?

Just after finishing speaking, the official seal, saber and other items were all taken out. Wasn't this prepared in advance?

Han Qingshan was very excited. He accepted it in person, called him "Chen", bowed his head and thanked Emperor Chen again for his kindness.

The corners of Chen Huang's mouth were cracked and he was smiling from ear to ear. He was so satisfied with Han Qingshan's performance that he liked it more and more the more he watched.

Then, Han Qingshan took advantage of the situation and requested that his two brothers, Niu Gang and Zhu Li, be transferred to the Royal Guards.

Emperor Chen was so happy that he gave his approval with a wave of his hand.

After settling Han Qingshan's matter, Emperor Chen spoke in person and appointed Lin Bochang as the deputy general of the Divine Thunder Army, Huang Zhigao as a staff general, and Wu Shaoguang as another staff general.

A lieutenant general can control ten thousand soldiers. A deputy general has two generals, and each general can control five thousand soldiers.

The current Divine Thunder Army is led by Zhu Xiuyuan, and Zhu Xiuyuan is an earl.

Count, the same as "general".

A general can only have one deputy general and two generals.

In addition, there are President Qian, Centurion, Chief, etc. below. Zhu Xiuyuan will make arrangements for these people, and Emperor Chen will not interfere.

After the enfeoffment was completed, Emperor Chen was also a little tired, so he left the court and took Concubine You back to Qin'an Hall to rest and have fun.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Han Qingshan and others left the palace under the leadership of the young eunuch.

After leaving Chengtianmen, Zhu Xiuyuan and Han Qingshan separated.

Han Qingshan, as well as the two brothers Niu Gang and Zhu Li, the three of them will go directly to the Royal Guards Camp on the east side of the capital to take over the position of general.

The location of the imperial city is close to the east side of the capital. In fact, the city wall on the east side of the imperial city is not far from the city wall on the east side of the capital. There is only a street in the middle, and you can greet each other while standing on it.

The Guardsmen are responsible for the defense on the east side of the capital. The camp of the Guardsmen is actually very close to the imperial city, only a stone's throw away.

Why did Emperor Chen choose the Imperial Guard? This was his purpose.
