Chapter 26 Pre-examination Ceremony

Hearing the boredom in Wang Shiqi's tone, many scholars were trembling. Some people, even Wang Shiqi didn't hear what they said, and retreated to the Lingxiao Pavilion with the crowd. It was not until he entered his room that he could not feel the awe-inspiring killing intention of Wang Shiqi's team that he dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now, many people felt that they were on the edge of life and death. If they stayed under the eyes of the 50 soldiers and Wang Shiqi for another quarter of an hour, they could not stand it anyway.

Only a few scholars can barely keep calm.

Yang Heng was also shocked. I saw Wang Shiqi again this time. Compared with ten years ago, although he was not trembling and cold, he was not much better.

Moreover, he also got an important news from Wang Shiqi's few words: the Northern Desert Army is indeed going to invade the south again.

"War is a disaster for ordinary people, but for me, it is an opportunity."

Yang Heng had a keen sense of smell and immediately smelled a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: "To be successful, there is no better place than in the army. However, all this will have to wait until after the scribe's assessment.

For five days in a row, Yang Heng was meticulously preparing for this assessment related to his fate.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed quickly.

In the early morning of October 10, 153 scholars gathered in the square in Lingxiao Garden to wait for the beginning of the assessment.

A day ago, this group of scholars have received a seal document recording the process, discipline and content of this assessment.

In the Yunhuang Dynasty, the Yunhuang was respected. According to the etiquette, he worshipped the Yunhuang from afar before the assessment, and then sacrificed to the teacher and the saints.

This etiquette is called the 'master's etiquette'. Yunhuang was established by accepting the order of heaven, and the first saint was also the order of heaven. Therefore, we should sacrifice like gods.

The etiquette before the scribe's examination was quite grand, grand and serious in the Izumo Dynasty, second only to the etiquette when the emperor was crowned and crowned prince.

Therefore, these scholars stood in the open space in Lingxiao Garden, looking respectful and communicating in a low voice.

Yang Heng stood in the crowd and saw a high platform at the gate of Lingxiao Pavilion, solemn, surrounded by several officials and generals Wang Shiqi and stood steadily.

On the high platform, there was a man wearing a big red robe with a rigorous look. In every move, a kind of prince's spirit emerged. His momentum was second only to Wang Shiqi. Following Wang Shiqi, he also followed step by step.

This person is Hou Kangkang. Naturally, he will also attend such a grand ceremony.

"Connance!" Seeing this person from afar, Yang Heng felt a chill in his heart, raised an impulse to kill, and silently clenched his fist.

However, he suppressed this kind of thought fiercely.

"Now, it's not the time to do it, but sooner or later, I will let you disappear from this continent."

"Dong."

There was a drum sound in the oblique brake, shaking the sky and the earth. In the Lingxiao Garden, there was a feeling of shaking the mountains.

"All scholars are not allowed to make noise, and those who violate the order shall be expelled and shall not participate in the assessment." After the drum sounded, I saw Kang take a step forward. His cold eyes glanced at the sergeant and said slowly.

His voice was not loud, but soon, the soldiers who were communicating in a low voice closed their mouths, and the needles fell audible in the whole Lingxiao Garden. A series of eyes suddenly focused on Kang Kang.

On the high platform, Kang Kang had no expression on his face, nodded slightly, turned around, saluted Wang Shiqi, and bowed down respectfully and said, "Your father, it's time to start."

Wang Shiqi was still dressed in armor. He sat alone and the rest of the people stood. On the high platform, Wang Shiqi looked like a group of chickens, and Kang's momentum was also compared with him.

He was closing his eyes to refresh himself. Hearing Kang Kang's words, he slowly opened his eyes and nodded slightly. He stood up and took a step forward. He put his left hand on his right hand, left palm and right fist, bowed slightly in the direction of Yundu, and said slowly, "Sarge."

With his order, everyone's nerves suddenly tightened.

"I wish Emperor Yun will live forever and become a real person."

"I wish Emperor Yun immortality and become a real person!" On and off the stage, whether it is Kang Kang or many scholars, they have learned to look and read it.

"I wish the first master a saint, and the divine power will spread and immortality."

Every time Wang Shiqi read a sentence, everyone followed the macro voice.

"I wish the Yun Dynasty, the rivers and mountains, thousands of generations, the expansion of the territory, and the dominance of the four directions."

"At the end of the ceremony, Dingbeihou temporarily withdrew from the forbidden place of Lingxiaoyuan, and the scribe assessment began."

After saying this sentence, Wang Shiqi straightened his armor, turned around and sat down, and ordered in a low voice.

Kang resisted his promise and didn't dare to say much. He bowed his body and walked five steps backwards. Then he turned around and stood straight. He didn't dare to delay for a moment and walked out of Lingxiao Garden.

When Kang Kang went out, many scholars under the stage knelt down and sat under the high platform. In front of each of them, there was a * desk with pen, ink, paper and inkstone in order.

The first subject of the scribe examination is the six arts of Confucianism.

"The six arts of Confucianism are a compulsory course for each of you. Only by integrating the six arts can you be qualified to become a scribe. You must be very clear about it, right? On the high platform, Wang Shiqi narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

"Yes, I understand late." Many scholars under the stage focused on him. Wang Shiqi was extraordinary. Although he deliberately hid some murderous spirit, he sat on the high platform, which still made many scholars shocked and uneasy. This kind of pressure, such as the five mountains and rivers, gradually accumulates after crossing the sea of corpses and blood. Even if it is hidden, it can't be hidden. At this time, as soon as he asked, some scholars immediately responded boldly and in a low voice.

"Well, it's good to know. This examination of the six arts is not fully tested. There is only one of the six arts, such as etiquette, music, shooting, imperial, books and numbers. As for which one you want to take, you can choose. This has been written on the seal distributed last night. You must have seen it? Wang Shiqi has always been lukewarm, but he has an extraordinary momentum that people dare not resist.

"Yes, the late students saw it." The scholars looked respectful and dared not neglect. They would answer any questions.

"In this case, let's start and enter the respective assessment areas according to your own choice. These 50 Xuanjia generals under me are your invigilators today."

Wang Shiqi ordered that many scholars did not dare to say more. They divided into several teams according to their own wishes and queued up to enter their respective assessment areas.

They all look very relaxed. Obviously, it is not difficult for them to take only one of the six arts.

Six arts are the foundation of a hundred schools of learning. They develop the wisdom and understanding of the mysterious. The children of the family often have to study hard from the beginning of writing, not to mention taking only one. Even if they are six schools together, these scholars can deal with it calmly.

The first exam of this scribe examination is just a thorough examination for fear that someone will fish in troubled waters.

Many scholars scattered in an orderly manner. Yang Heng was not in a hurry to move. When the scholars were almost dispersed, he swept to the examination room everywhere.

"Sure enough, as I expected, most people went to take the 'shooting art' exam." Yang Heng looked at the diversion of the crowd and thought to himself, "'shooting art' is the most suitable for military temperament among the six arts. I said that Wang Shiqi was an iron-blooded soldier that day, and this group of scholars must have been written down."

In a single thought, Yang Heng had figured out this joint. About two-thirds of the scholars who went to take the 'shooting art' exam. Even if some scholars were not proficient in this school chose the 'royal art' that was closely related to the army. As for the other four doors, they are uninhabited.

"Unfortunately, these people only know one and don't know the other. It's too blatant to be so opportunistic and flattering. How can you not know what kind of person Wang Shiqi is? I'm afraid they will be self-defeating now. I was kind-hearted that day, but I didn't expect to do something bad." Yang Heng was calm, sighed secretly, and unconsciously glanced at the high platform.

At this glance, I happened to see Wang Shiqi squinting and staring at him intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, Yang Hengxin's neutral horse was shocked.

"Oh, he noticed me. Does Mrs. Dingbei really make trouble in front of him?"

Yang Heng doubted and hurriedly avoided his eyes. He knew that with Wang Shiqi's cultivation, his mind would be thoroughly seen by great saints like Wang Shiqi.

"If so, I will be careful." Secretly reminding himself, Yang Heng finally stood up after many scholars dispersed. He was unique, contrary to many scholars, took a big step, and walked to the examination room for assessing 'etiquette' and stood firmly.

In this examination room, Yang Heng is the only one who is like a heresy at this moment.

Two-thirds of the scholars took the 'shooting art' test, and the remaining one-third chose to take the 'royial art' exam. Only Yang Heng silently chose to take the 'courtesy' exam.

Yang Heng's move was seen by the sharp-eyed taxi, which immediately caused a lot of undercurrent.

Their eyes flashed and showed puzzlement. They didn't know what Yang Heng wanted to do?

Even Wang Shiqi, who was pretending to be in a good place on the high platform, opened his eyes in an instant when he saw Yang Heng standing alone.

Yang Heng stopped at this examination room. There were many taxis who had selected the examination room and couldn't stand immediately. Some people even had an idea of re-choice.

After all, before that, Yang Heng brought them too many shocks and surprises. Many people thought that it would never be wrong to follow Yang Heng.

"Alas, if I had known that he chose to take the 'courtesy method', I shouldn't have been so anxious and chose 'shooting art' recklessly." Many people blame themselves and secretly blame themselves.

"I think that the Duke of the Kingdom does not leave the armor at all times. As Muyi said before, he is an iron-blooded soldier. According to common sense, the art of shooting and imperial control is what soldiers value. My choice should be correct. Perhaps this Muyi just wants to be innovative to attract the attention of the Duke. Some people, looking at Yang Heng's direction, have such doubts in their hearts.

Yang Heng ignored these strange eyes. He always walked to the invigilator in charge of the examination room and stood firm.

The invigilator is a member of Wang Shiqi's Xuanjia army. Like Wang Shiqi, this man is black and majestic. He sits on a chair with a straight back. Even ordinary people can see that this person has been experienced the battlefield for a long time and is strong.

Seeing Yang Heng coming over, the invigilator blinked and was obviously a little surprised.
