The great hero, from nine to five

Palace examination held.

Of course, it was said that it was held, but it was actually just a simple demonstration and inquiry. After all, this martial arts exam was done for real, and Zuo Yanhan personally proctored the exam.

However, it is different from the martial arts exam more than 90 years ago. At that time, the emperor of Shengjin did not have the level of a master. After seeing the first and second grades, Emperor Shengwu naturally let go of his heart and asked the candidates to ask about the martial arts. Difficult questions, which immediately aroused the interest of the martial arts scholars, one by one came out to ask questions about martial arts one by one.

You must know that although everyone present basically has a prominent family or a powerful sect, otherwise there is no way to practice at this level at a young age, but even a big sect may not necessarily be able to There are master-level masters, and even, if you really want to say, it would be great if you can find three masters from the "Ten Great Sects" in the Jianghu.

Zhang Bumo himself is very talented, and he was taught by an old swordsman. In fact, he didn't really want to ask a question. After hesitating for a moment, he asked a question for Xun Wu. The flags died down, but there was no clue. Zhang Bumo didn't know whether Emperor Shengwu had learned this sword technique, but he still asked Xun Wu.

"Oh? Hahaha——" Emperor Shengwu laughed again, "I'll tell Xun Wu about this question later, do you have any other questions?"

He shook his head.

"Neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor impetuous, upright and righteous, I deserve to be the No. [-] martial artist in Shengjin, hahahaha—" Emperor Shengwu was very satisfied.

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Bumo is the champion of martial arts, and the publicity effect of this martial arts is full.

Immediately afterwards, it was naturally a question of the other two.

Among them, the second place was a disciple of the Tianya Sword Sect, who asked about the sword, and the Tanhua was... Yang Mo.

A descendant of the Yang family, he did not show himself, and successfully became one of the first with his sword and shield. His problem had nothing to do with martial arts, but he jumped out directly, saying that he was worried about the various things of the Demon Sect.

Xun Wu figured it out as soon as he heard this, and closed his eyes as if he didn't hear the rest.

If it was someone else who closed their eyes and pretended not to hear, maybe there would be a "disgrace from the palace" and be woken up by eunuchs or something.

But Emperor Shengwu noticed him, but he didn't show it at all. Eunuch Wei hurriedly stopped the eunuch who wanted to wake Xun Wu up.

What are you doing, do you want him to say that this is something His Majesty has prepared?

Yang Mo eloquently talked about a lot of dangers from the Devil's Cult, and things like "how can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch", which created a good atmosphere in the hall, and a few generals jumped out directly and said, "Xiao Yang That's right!" "I thought so too!"

Emperor Shengwu naturally put on a serious look, and took advantage of the situation to say the decision and matters after the martial arts, but he didn't say that he would attack the Demon Cult's base camp this year. When using it, keep it useful, and then he will ask the next Jinshi what questions he has.

The opportunity to listen to the master's explanation of martial arts is an "adventure" for most people. Naturally, these martial arts scholars are extremely excited.

More than an hour was spent in harmony between the monarch and his subjects. After the "palace examination" was over, Eunuch Wei came out and began to read the imperial decree.

Among them, Zhang Bumo, who was located in Dingjia, was awarded the No. [-] Scholar of the Martial Arts, the No. [-] of the Wu Bang, and the Hua of the Wu Tanhua, respectively, and was awarded the qualification of "Giving Wu Jinshi and the Rank". Positive four products.

However, because of the special circumstances of this martial arts competition, in fact, it is just a pure honor. Like Xun Wu's guards, the meaning of honor is greater than the actual meaning.

The top [-], such as Xun Wu, will be eligible to be "Born as a Jinshi", and at the same time, all second-class candidates will be awarded the fifth-rank defense.

When Eunuch Wei finished reading, the scene Xun Wu was looking forward to the most came——

Red light, eyes full of red light!

The first is the experience value, which is a full seventy points, which can directly allow Xun Wu to fill up the experience bar of the police profession and become a seventh-level police officer!

Second is...

A new career!

Xun Wu glanced quickly.

Sergeant rank 50 defense, bodyguard professional characteristics, experience gain [-]% extra bonus

It's another new profession, so it's no surprise for Xun Wu. After all, they all participated in the martial arts, and Xun Wu was prepared for this kind of result.

But to Xun Wu's regret, the profession of a sergeant is different from that of a bodyguard, and he cannot coexist with a policeman.

This point, Xun Wu did not expect, he thought that the three professions can gain experience at the same time, and that would be very comfortable.

However, considering that the profession of guard will not gain experience after leaving Bao Huaiying, the profession of sergeant will probably not gain experience if he does not participate in sergeant activities, meetings of generals, or training.

That's a pity, anyway, Xun Wu is not willing to put general experience into a profession that cannot be automatically upgraded.

In addition to these honorary rewards, the court also rewarded Zhang Bumo with a sword. Zhang Bumo hesitated a bit, but then he took it seriously.

The scabbard is made of wood with beautiful texture, engraved with patterns of flowing water and high mountains, and the hilt is long and narrow, with a word "leaf" engraved on the hilt.

Zhang Bumo stretched out his hand to pull out the sword, and a faint light suddenly flashed in the air. Several people close to Zhang Bumo felt the sword energy from Zhang Bumo's body, and the corners of their mouths twitched uncontrollably.

This monster, with the sword he just got, can release this level of sword energy?

On the front of the sword, where the sword body and the hilt are connected, a few words are engraved, and the letter is written on the mountain.

Zhang Bumo was stunned for a moment.

Looking at the sword, Zhang Bumo seemed to hear the sound of dragon chant, and seemed to be looking straight into the abyss and looking up at the high mountain.

Sword spirit?

famous sword...

"Longyuan!?" A thought flashed across Zhang Bumo's mind, and he exclaimed subconsciously.

"That's right." Seeing Zhang Bumo's shocking reaction, Emperor Shengwu said cheerfully, "It is the famous sword of the Eight Desolation, Longyuan Sword, which is from the same lineage as your brother Xun Juque!"

Xun Wu frowned.

Good guy, as expected of Emperor Shengwu...

"It's like facing a high mountain, like facing an abyss, tough and sharp, tough and flexible... Thank you Your Majesty without silence!"

Zhang Bumo originally wanted to refuse again, after all, he thought that any sword would do, but when he thought that this sword and Juque were both famous swords in the Eight Desolation, and had a deep meaning, he respectfully accepted.

That's okay, if you take this sword to Zangfeng Island, you don't have to worry about breaking the returning bird.

After finishing these things, naturally he has not retreated from the court. On the contrary, it has finally come to another extremely important matter today.

"Bao Aiqing." Emperor Shengwu called softly.

"The minister is here." Bao Huaiying immediately walked out from the side.

"How have you been doing in the past six months?"

"Fortunately." Bao Huaiying was very straightforward, and took out all the stacks of things he had prepared from his pocket.

This is one of the backups, which is basically a summary of Bao Huaiying's hastily rushed out of the whole north in the past six months.

"Okay." Emperor Shengwu said sadly.

He stood up slowly.

"My dear friends and talents, some of you may already know about it, while others don't know what happened to the semi-annual award."

"Today, I will tell you about my failure."

The so-called failure naturally refers to the prince's affairs.

Although the prince's rebellion was essentially an unavoidable unlucky event, and Emperor Shengwu was not to blame.

After all, Emperor Shengwu didn't expect that he could live so long.

However, in this era, if the government is unstable, the emperor must be blamed, and there is no reason to shirk.

Now, Bao Huaiying and Xun Wu have each completed what he did more than half a year ago, and Emperor Shengwu will never prevaricate, nor will he deliberately conceal it.

Therefore, he slowly told the story of the prince in front of all the officials of the court, and said that he did not want to tell the truth to the world at all, and hoped that everyone would think that the prince died of civil strife, but Bao Huaiying and Xun Wu The words woke him up.

If you want the people of the world to enjoy long-term peace and stability, you must be upright, fair and just!

Therefore, he told everyone here that he would issue an imperial edict to make it known to the world.

"Your Majesty is holy!" Bao Huaiying first took a deep breath, and then he was the first to shout out loudly.

"Your Majesty is holy!" Immediately afterwards, it was the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Your Majesty is holy!!" Then came all Jinshi.

Almost all the Jinshi felt excited, and felt that this martial arts was really the right one.

Following an emperor with strong martial arts, strict rewards and punishments, and an upright emperor, the future is not only bright, it is simply boundless and smooth!

The emperor who knows people well, listens to advice, and even praises those who offend his own son, let alone whether he wants to make a good reputation or simply thinks so, since he can do this, he will definitely Worth following!

Emperor Shengwu nodded in satisfaction.

Although he was still a little upset, since Bao Huaiying and Xun Wu had agreed, he would naturally not prevaricate, but it would be good to take this opportunity to gather people's hearts again.

After that, it was the Sanchao.

Generally speaking, this should be followed by boasting.

First-class and second-class Jinshi will parade in the capital city in the next three days.Usually, the number one scholar will wear a red robe, a cap with palace flowers, and ride a high-headed horse through the streets of Huangcheng to receive the congratulations of the people.Although the Jinshi is not as luxurious and glorious as the champion, they will also wear new clothes and follow the parade.

But after that, Eunuch Wei approached Bao Huaiying and Xun Wu alone who were about to reminisce about the old days, and told them not to leave, and followed him to the study.

Emperor Shengwu was looking at a table of things. After Bao and Xun came in, he looked up at them.

Xun Wu followed Bao Huaiying and bowed slightly.

"Bao Heizi, how's your health after half a year's hard work?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. With Shaoxia Luo by my side, I am in good health." Bao Huaiying said calmly.

In fact, it was not very calm, because during this period of time, he had been traveling and doing errands in the north, so he did have some illnesses. After Roman and Zhang Bumo changed shifts, Roman specially diagnosed Bao Huaiying, and got Bao Huaiying took a lot of medicine, so he still looked energetic.

But Bao Huaiying would not say that the medicine is bitter, tired, or sold poorly.

"Hahaha..." Emperor Shengwu laughed loudly, "For more than half a year, not only have to deal with government affairs, but also have to travel non-stop... Only you can say that.

But it's okay, so I can rest assured. "

Ok?

Xun Wu and Bao Huaiying realized the problem almost at the same time.

"What is your majesty's intention?"

Emperor Shengwu gently spread the things in front of the table, and said to Bao Huaiying: "Next, I will go to the south. You and Chang'er will work together to rule the government, and you will assist from the side."

The two were stunned again, Xun Wu quickly went through the message in his mind, and immediately said: "Your Majesty wants to see the warship?"

When he first met Ye Zhenji last year, when Ye Zhenji told him about the martial arts, she said that Sheng Jin was building a warship, but until now, Xun Wu didn't know where to build the ship. Now that Emperor Shengwu opened his mouth, he immediately asked.

"good."

"Your Majesty, it is not a wise choice to start a war rashly!" Bao Huaiying heard Xun Wu's question, and quickly thought about it. After contacting the actions of Emperor Shengwu in the past two years, he hurriedly said, "Move at this time!" Soldiers, this is definitely not a good opportunity!"

As for launching an offensive against the Demon Cult...

Bao Huaiying is a person who has personally experienced the turmoil of the Demon Cult. When he was studying, he saw the Demon Cult hacking and killing people indiscriminately. He knew that they were definitely not peasants who could not afford to eat, but a group of genuine lunatics. Agree with Emperor Shengwu's decision.

But at this time, mobilizing troops is too stupid.

"Hahaha, don't worry, I've been preparing for this matter for ten years, how can I be in a hurry?" Emperor Shengwu noticed the tension between the two, and immediately became happy.

Although both of them were very nervous, they were not foolishly persuading Emperor Shengwu not to raise an army. It was by no means a woman's benevolence: "Although the martial arts has ended successfully, this matter still needs to be fermented. When the hearts of the soldiers and the people are available, I will naturally publicize this matter and raise troops.

The Master said, if a worker wants to be good at his work, he must first sharpen his tools.Before raising an army, the first thing to do is the warships. If there are not enough warships and the warships are not strong, the battle will be defeated. I, naturally, must prepare early. "

It turned out to be the case.

Now the two can understand.

Otherwise, if you raise troops in a hurry at this time, you are looking for trouble.

Moreover, Emperor Shengwu actually has many other preparations to do, not just warships, but he will not let go of people like Jue Gong Yaren who can already be used.

Also.

Leaving the capital this time and letting the second prince and Bao Huaiying take charge of the affairs of the court is also a test to see how far the second prince can go.

After all, the prince has supervised the country many times and has rich experience, so he can trust him, but the two princes have never supervised the country.

Since this is the case, then Bao Huaiying naturally agreed.

To be honest, if Bao Huaiying is now in charge of Shengjin, he can't immediately accept it, because he doesn't have this experience, so he can't guarantee his competence, but Emperor Shengwu told him in detail, and he felt that it would be no problem.

There is no need for Bao Huaiying to be in charge, on the contrary, what Bao Huaiying needs to do is - spray people!

Spray on the second prince, as long as you think something is wrong, just spit on him!

Do you dare to believe it when you spray people according to the order! ?

This Bao Huaiying is naturally full of confidence.

"As for you, Xun Wu, since I called you here, I naturally have something for you to do."

When Xun Wu heard this, he immediately hesitated, finally gritted his teeth, bowed, and said to Emperor Shengwu: "Your Majesty, my best friend Zhang Bumo has recently received an invitation from the sect of his old enemy, and he will go there in a while. ...I have already agreed to go with him, in case something goes wrong, please forgive me..."

"Okay, stop talking—"

Emperor Shengwu interrupted his speech.

Bao Huaiying nodded secretly.

Emperor Shengwu was also very satisfied.

He obviously wanted to give Xun Wu a huge position, but for the sake of brotherhood, Xun Wu willingly resigned, which made him very satisfied.

Compared with a tool man, this kind of junior who is affectionate, righteous and virtuous is the future of Sheng Jin.

"You don't need to worry too much...

Speaking of which, you've never seen Xiao Man before, have you? "

As soon as Xun Wu heard Man Jianghong's nickname, he nodded immediately.

"The reason why you haven't been able to see him is precisely because of the things he was in charge of in the past...Now, I intend to let you take over and try...

That's right, you should have thought of it, it's exactly - monitoring the Jianghu. "
