Chivalrous Song Dynasty

In addition, he saw Wu Song also standing among the fifty candidates selected by Cangzhou. When he saw Wu Song, Wu Song happened to see him too. hostility.That means, you wait for me, don't let me meet you on the field!

Different from Wu Song and the juzi from the prefectures, the juzi from the capital looked at Bai Sheng with awe.

Except for the five people under the banner of Tianbo Yangfu, the other 95 contestants have all seen Bai Sheng's "Unrivaled Magical Skills" with their own eyes. Even Zhan Renlong believed that Bai Sheng's participation in the test would definitely win the championship, and the martial arts champion must be him belongs to.Even if he Zhan Renlong participated in the martial arts in person, he could not compete with Bai Sheng.

The ground collapsed with that palm, who would dare to compete with such a Bai Sheng?

Therefore, even though Zhan Renlong was very unwilling in his heart, he could only compliment Bai Sheng on the surface: "Everyone won the second place in the martial arts competition this time. This new champion must be you, Mr. Bai. If you and I meet in the competition, I also ask Mr. Bai to be merciful."

This remark caused commotion in the ears of those out-of-towners who didn't know what was going on, and people all looked at Zhan Renlong and Bai Sheng who spoke.

It seems that this Mr. Bai is only in his early twenties, how capable is he?Why can everyone only compete for No.2?Could it be that No.1 has already been bought by this Mr. Bai?What's wrong with this martial arts?

Under everyone's gaze, Bai Sheng remained calm and composed, not talking about the martial arts, but only focusing on Zhan Renlong's repudiation: "It was said that it was sent to me a year ago, and it's the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. Seeing that you sent someone to deliver things? Doesn’t the owner of the exhibition count what you say?”

Zhan Renlong argued: "I sent someone to deliver it, but I couldn't find you. I have to hand it over to you. You will be in Taishi's Mansion for a while, and Fanlou for a while. It is said that you have moved to a new house. I don't know, how do you want me to deliver it?"

Bai Shengdao: "You are right, so can you fulfill your bet now?"

Zhan Renlong said: "Now that thing is not with you, you tell me where you live, and I will personally go to the house to deliver it to you after registration later, and I will never break my promise."

They were talking about their willingness to gamble and admit defeat here, but the candidates around them spread the news of Bai Sheng, the favorite to win the championship. It didn't take long for more than 2000 candidates to hear about it, and almost everyone turned their attention to it. He looked at Bai Sheng here.

At this moment, a fierce quarrel broke out at the entrance of the Ministry of War hall, which attracted everyone's attention.

The people who quarreled were Zhao Kai and Sun Fu.

Sun Fu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was the highest official who presided over the registration of the child. If it is used in modern terms, it is called "the final interpretation of this event belongs to Sun Fu."

Sun Fu is a very conscientious person who accepts death and does not show favoritism.As an official, he only listens to two people, one is the emperor Zhao Ji, and the other is the grand master Cai Jing.

Listening to Zhao Ji's words is called loyalty to the emperor, listening to Cai Jing's words is called subordinates obeying superiors, there is nothing wrong with it.

The conflict between him and Zhao Kai was that he had received an oral decree from the emperor not to allow Zhao Kai, king of Yun, to take part in the martial arts examination, so he refused to write Zhao Kai's name on the roster of candidates.

Zhao Kai exploded immediately, he has worked so hard to practice martial arts for so many years, isn't it just to serve the country and lead the army outside the Great Wall?

In order to prevent his subjects from gossiping, he is willing to use his real ability to test the qualifications of the army commander, just like he quietly participated in the first place in the high school of the civil examination.

But Sun Fu wanted to kill his qualifications for reference. Although it was under the banner of his father, he did not see the written imperial edict after all. How could he be reconciled to this?What's more, even if Sun Fu can get the written imperial decree, he still has to ask clearly, why not let me participate in the martial arts?

Facing Zhao Kai's questioning, Sun Fu remained silent, no matter how violent you were, I just wouldn't let go, and in the end Zhao Kai was forced to leave the crowd angrily, and went to Da Nei to talk to his father face to face.

On the list of candidates submitted by the constituency in the capital, after Zhao Kai is Bai Sheng, if not because Zhao Kai has the title of King Yun, Bai Sheng would even be ranked ahead of Zhao Kai, because the list is sorted according to strength.

After Zhao Kai left, the officials under Sun Fu sang Bai Sheng's name, and Bai Sheng once again became the focus of attention of the audience, because people had already confirmed him.

Bai Sheng walked in front of the military department in full view, and waited for the clerk to enter his name in the roster, which was considered as the end of the scene.

In his opinion, this registration procedure is actually equivalent to the invigilator checking the candidate's admission ticket in the examination room in later generations, and its function is to prevent someone from taking the exam.

Unexpectedly, Sun Fu did not arrange for the paperwork to be written immediately, but looked him up and down from head to toe, and then asked, "Are you Bai Sheng?"

"It's me." Bai Shengxin said, this is not the emperor's beauty pageant, do you need to look so carefully?

Seeing that Sun Fu's face darkened, he said, "Listen up, and immediately disqualify Bai Sheng from the capital's exam!"

Chapter 267

When Sun Fu said that Bai Sheng was disqualified, the courtyard, which was originally full of buzzing voices, suddenly became dead silent, but cheers broke out like a tidal wave.

The dead silence is because people wonder if they heard it wrong, and the cheers are the general joy that people burst out after confirming that they heard it right.

"Master Sun is really stern and selfless!"

"That's right, I said that it's impossible to decide on the champion!"

After the cheers, the people started discussing again, and they had everything to say. Although Di Lie and others felt aggrieved for Bai Sheng, they hadn't figured out what happened, so they couldn't openly question the senior officials of the Ministry of War.

As the person involved, Bai Sheng was on the spot in a daze, thinking why Sun Fu would disqualify him from the exam.

It must be Lao Cai playing the bottom line for me!

It is not difficult to think of Cai Jing, only from the fact that Cai Jing easily obtained the coal mining and management rights from Sun Fu, we can know that Cai Jing has absolute influence on Sun Fu.

If there is anyone in the capital of the Song Dynasty who does not want him to participate in the martial arts and join the army's Western Expedition, then this person is the first to recommend Cai Jing!

Maybe Zhan Renlong and the others in the capital don't want him to participate in the martial arts, but they are out of fear of strong competitors and don't want him to win the championship, so they won't do such things behind the scenes, not to mention they don't have the ability .

But even if Cai Jing is really making trouble behind the scenes, he can't just admit defeat. How can he see a doctor for his child if he doesn't go to Xixia?This alone is enough to motivate him to persevere.

Thinking of this point, he asked, "Why are you disqualified from the exam? Please give me a reason, Master Sun! Don't tell me that the current emperor has an oral decree. False decrees are no joke!"

In this era, only the emperor's words are unquestionable. Just like rejecting Zhao Kai just now, one imperial decree is enough to explain everything without too much explanation.

But as long as it is not the emperor's intention, it is not so easy to exclude Bai Sheng from the martial arts, so what if it is Cai Jing's intention?Even if Cai Jing himself was present, there must be a valid reason!

Bai Sheng's words were sonorous and forceful, and the turmoil in the field suddenly fell silent.

Sun Fu didn't expect Bai Sheng to be so stubborn, so he couldn't help being startled. After thinking for a while, he said: "Someone reported that you don't know martial arts at all, but intends to cheat you with military merits. This is the reason for disqualifying you from martial arts."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar from the officials of the various state governments, and the crowd was excited, expressing their anger.Even when they heard that Bai Sheng had been "appointed" as the champion of martial arts a while ago, they were not so indignant.

Because at that time people didn't know the level of Bai Sheng's martial arts at all, they just guessed that his martial arts could not reach the strength of ranking first.But now people already know that Bai Sheng is a champion who doesn't know martial arts at all, how can he not be angry?

It's too serious!

While the foreign judges were indignant, they all looked at the capital judges with contempt. So that's how you noble children under the emperor's feet bully us country people?Dare to participate in martial arts without knowing martial arts?Isn't this nonsense?

Some people even immediately thought: Bai Sheng was found out because someone reported it. There must be other impostors in the examination team in the capital, and they don't know how they will cheat in the exam!

Seeing the chaos in the courtyard, Sun Fu hurriedly ordered people to stop it, and after everyone stopped, he sighed and said: "Confucius said: Qiu also heard that those who have a state and a family don't worry about widows but inequality, and don't worry about poverty but anxiety. Listen, my son, unless the court does not use this official, this official will definitely conduct a fair military exercise!"

Sun Fu was born as a Jinshi, and Jinshi is used to citing scriptures when speaking. This passage he said comes from the Analects, which just reflects the psychology of all candidates in pursuit of fairness-it doesn't matter how strict the exam is, as long as they are treated equally, no one will be dissatisfied.

There was a wave of applause in the courtyard.

Bai Sheng looked coldly at Sun Fu and the crowd bewitched by Sun Fu, and waited until the applause faded away before he said, "Whether I, Bai Sheng, know martial arts, can others report it? Since everyone here is here to participate in martial arts Why don't you try it on the spot?"

This made sense, and there was silence in the courtyard again, and people couldn't help thinking: Yes, can he know martial arts? Just show his hands in public, wouldn't the truth come to light?

Some people even saw that Bai Sheng was full of confidence and began to hesitate. Could it be that a high-ranking official like Sun Fu would talk nonsense and spread rumors?

There are only more than 90 candidates in the capital who are full of confidence in Bai Sheng, and they all look at the surrounding candidates with disdainful eyes, which means that you are waiting, if Bai Sheng shows his unique skills, I am afraid that he will not be able to scare you to death!If it is a modern classmate, it is inevitable to say: brighten your titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

Bai Sheng played exactly this score, and while he was talking, he had already put his hand on the "big class desk" in front of Sun Fu, intending to use one hand to pass on his skills, smashing this solid solid wooden table, and giving Sun Fu a Take a look at Mawei.

He deliberately turned sideways to look back at the candidates behind him, and lightly touched the edge of the table with his right hand, in order to let everyone see clearly.
