Datang: I was overheard by the Empress

Chapter 26: I'm Ready to Start Martial Arts!

"Master Di, congratulations. I never thought that Master Di's first major achievement when he became Minister of Dali Temple was to invent this punctuation mark. Master Di's talent and learning are indeed well-deserved. He deserves to be called the Pearl of Haiqu by Prime Minister Yan and the legacy of Southeast Asia!"

"That's right, Master Di has this merit, and in the future, students all over the world will definitely remember Master Di's kindness!"

"Thank you, my lords, for your praise, this punctuation mark..."

Di Renjie has always been an honest person. Although he is very talented, he will not take credit for it. He wants to explain the matter of punctuation clearly.
However, just as Di Renjie was about to speak, he suddenly thought of what Di Pingan said yesterday when he was smoking with Di Pingan:
Brother, anyway, if you remember, you invented this punctuation mark!
Di Renjie was a little dazed at this moment, so what his brother said actually meant such a thing!

"My lords, it's absurd. This punctuation mark is indeed an unintentional creation of the younger generation. Among them, the brother-in-law also contributed a lot. I didn't expect it to be so valued by the Lord Jijiu. This is something Di did not expect!"

Di Renjie immediately responded with a smile, since his brother said that the punctuation marks belonged to him, then Di Renjie is also welcome.

What's more, this is the empress who has already opened her mouth. Di Renjie can't even give the empress face, but he still praised Di Pingan!
This is the end of the punctuation issue, look at the time, the court meeting has been held for more than two hours now, and it is almost time to end, if nothing else important happens!
But obviously, today is a bit of a special situation,

Above the throne, Her Majesty the Empress suddenly said in a deep voice: "Since I ascended the throne, although I dare not say that the country is rich and the people are strong, it can also be called peace in the world. In the early spring of next year, I will hold an imperial examination to select talents from all over the world. Selected by the imperial court!"

"This imperial examination, I think about it from left to right. It should be divided into two subjects, civil and military. The liberal arts examines policy theory, poetry and prose, and selects scholars for the court. Those who pass the exam will be Wen Jinshi. The martial arts test is bow horse riding and archery. Those who pass the exam will be Wu Jinshi!"

"How do you love me?"

Her Majesty's words resounded throughout the Ziwei Palace, but the civil and military officials were suddenly startled at this moment, even the leaders among the officials raised their heads involuntarily, and looked at Her Majesty the Empress who is on the throne!
The empress wants to start a course next year to obtain a scholar. Although this matter has not yet been determined, it is no secret among the imperial court

Many people know about this matter. After all, the new emperor's ascension to the throne and the opening of the imperial examination will indeed help win the hearts of the people of the world. This is what it should be.
However, what everyone never expected was that the Empress actually divided the imperial examination into two subjects, civil and military, and had to pass the examinations for Wen Jinshi and Wu Jinshi respectively, which was a bit beyond everyone's expectations!
"I think Your Majesty's method is very good!"

The first person to express his support was Yan Liben, the prime minister of the right.
His words definitely have a vital status and role above the court!

When this Yan Liben Yan Xiangye speaks, there are not a few people who agree with him!
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how to test this martial arts?"

Cheng Yaojin, an old bastard, asked at this moment, Cheng Yaojin and Changsun Wuji are representatives of Zhenguan veterans, both of them have great prestige in the court,

And now Xue Rengui, commander of the border guards, is still Cheng Yaojin's godson, and the strength of the veteran Zhenguan is still not to be underestimated, and he can even be said to be the number one faction in the court!

"Martial arts examination, bow and horse, riding and archery, strategy, the winner is the martial arts Jinshi, and the best is the martial arts champion!"

Wu Zetian said in a deep voice, the emperor is majestic, the emperor opens a course to select scholars, and the selected Jinshi can be called the emperor's disciples. Of course, there is no such term nowadays.

However, it is conceivable that these selected Jinshi, whether they are Wen Jinshi or Wu Jinshi, must be supporters of the emperor!
In the Purple Myrtle Hall, the officials were discussing the civil and military Jinshi in full swing!
……

In the Imperial College, Di Ping'an also put on a smiling face, took out a cigarette, and prepared to meet the students of the Justice Hall who made him socially die yesterday!

There are quite a lot of teachers in the Imperial College, although there is no Master Song, but there are still Master Li, Master Wang, and Master Chen, which will not affect the teaching of the Imperial College!
It's just that Di Ping'an's posture when he walked into the Hall of Justice today was quite awkward, with a cigarette in his left hand, puffing out clouds of smoke, and a... right hand...the right hand is nothing, and the fire pocket in his right hand has long been hidden by Di Ping'an!

However, Di Ping'an's attitude immediately attracted the students in the Hall of Justice!

"Brother Di, what are you?"

Yan Danqing asked curiously, the young man's gaze was dotted with stars, logically speaking, such a gaze would not appear in a proud man like Yan Danqing,
But at this moment, for some reason, Yan Danqing felt an indescribable envy in his heart when he looked at Di Ping'an who was swallowing the clouds!

"Well, this is called a cigarette, and it was also invented by my brother. Take a sip and feel as happy as a fairy!"

Di Pingan took another puff, and this time he exhaled a big smoke ring.
Needless to say, this time it's not just Yan Danqing, including the sons and grandchildren of the big bosses in the Hall of Justice, including Changsun Yan, Li Chong, etc., all of them have bright eyes!
After all, Di Ping'an's pose of blowing smoke rings is really handsome!

"Brother Di, I don't know if I can share one of these cigarettes with everyone!"

Changsun Yan rubbed his hands and said, they are all the top young masters in Chang'an

In the whole Chang'an City, I have never seen any scenes of eating, drinking and having fun, but this cigarette is really the first time, and it immediately attracted them!
"This is what I said, everyone who sees it has a share, come, come, everyone has it, don't worry!"

A smile suddenly appeared on Di Ping'an's face, and he knew that these young masters must have no resistance to smoke!
A moment later, in the Hall of Justice, more than 20 students were puffing and puffing, all with expressions of enjoyment on their faces!
So much so that Chen Shande, who came to the Justice Hall to teach today, was immediately smoked out as soon as he entered the door!

In fact, in the Hall of Justice at this moment, more than [-] students are puffing out clouds and smoke, and the smoke is vigorous, as if they are on fire!

"What are you all doing?"

Chen Shande was choked again and again, coughing continuously, and suddenly said out of breath.

Chen Shande is one of the two deputy priests of the Imperial College, and his status is still higher than the six doctors. Seeing the smog in the Hall of Justice at this moment, he is naturally very angry for a while!
