Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 802

After Lord Meng finished his speech, the weightlifting test officially began.

The weightlifting test consists of two parts: lifting a stone load and carrying rice. This is a real test of the candidate's strength and endurance.

Lifting a stone load actually evolved from Qiaoguan.

The so-called "lifting the gate" means lifting the gate bolt used to close the city gate.

There is a reason why military generals are tested on this. According to legend, there was a general who was born with supernatural powers. During a battle with an enemy country, he accidentally fell into an enemy trap.

After a large number of soldiers rushed into the city gate, the general discovered that the enemy wanted to close the city gate and attempted to surround and annihilate them.

At the critical moment, the general used his hands to prop up the thousand-pound hanging door and ordered the soldiers to retreat immediately, thus avoiding heavy casualties.

Later, when the Northern Wing had a military examination, Qiaoguan became a compulsory subject.

Today, the practice of climbing up the pass has been replaced by lifting stone burdens.

Each has a different score, the heavier the score, the higher the score.

There are three types in total: lifting a 200-jin stone load gets one point; lifting a 250-jin stone load gets two points; and lifting a 300-jin stone load gets three points.

There are a total of twelve square formations for reference, with exactly three teams in each examination room.

The order of the examinations was decided by drawing lots, with Yunqi Academy taking the exam first, followed by Beiming Academy, and finally the individual candidates.

The examiner gave an order... before he shouted "start", a team of six Western Shadow Guards wearing official uniforms and black masks came on stage and raised their hands to signal him to stop.

The examiner hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why did Master Shadow Guard come here?"

Long Jiang only showed two piercing eyes, "Xiyingwei is handling the case and requires that all the stone loads on the field be sealed."

The examiner was stunned and his palms were full of sweat.

This, this, this! We will miss the auspicious time!

If you miss a moment, you will miss all the moments.

He was at a loss for what to do.

The examiners from the Ministry of War all stood up from their seats, with angry looks on their faces.

Zheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, came out with a calm face and said, "The imperial examination is solemn and sacred. We will discuss everything after the examination is over."

He was in a bad mood to begin with, and ever since the civil examinations began to get "hot from time to time", he had repeatedly petitioned to close the military examinations so that people could watch the competitions.

However, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue went crazy. Not only did they support the people buying tickets to watch the game, they also expanded the number of seats for the audience.

Just now, a student who didn't even participate in the palace examination suppressed the momentum on the field with a gesture. On the other hand, the officials of the Ministry of War were unable to control the situation at all.

This made him extremely angry.

Now even the Western Shadow Guards want to interfere in the affairs of their Ministry of War. This is simply outrageous!

Long Jiang said coldly, "I have received a report that there is something wrong with the examination equipment on the field. If the problem is found, will Lord Zheng take full responsibility?"

Mr. Zheng: “!!!”

He angrily...returned to his seat. He didn't want to talk anymore. Why should he be held responsible for everything?

Longjiang ordered his men to seal up all the stone loads used for the examination on site, and ordered people to accompany officials from the Ministry of War to the Imperial Examination Hall warehouse to get spare equipment.

At the same time, the imperial physicians headed by Doctor Shen from the Imperial Medical Service also entered the venue to prepare to inspect the examination equipment on site.

Cen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes met Long Jiang's.

That’s right, it was Cen Yuan who reported that there was something wrong with the equipment.
