The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Emperor Mingde was extremely shocked by Cen Yuan's extraordinary abilities and outstanding insights.

At the same time, he had never seen anyone come up with such an invention that was enough to stand at the top of the world, and still humbly admit, "This is not something I came up with, this is Mr. Bi Sheng's invention."

Movable type printing! Unheard of. He could conclude that once this invention came out and became popular, it would have a far-reaching impact and would leave a magnificent brilliance in the long river of history.

Who was Mr. Bi Sheng? Where was he from? Which country was he from? Which book recorded him? How did Cen Yuan know about him? Emperor Mingde thought he was a man of great talent and knowledge, but in front of Cen Yuan, he was like an illiterate person.

When he was upset, he also developed a strong possessive desire and felt that talents like Cen Yuan should be kept on the land of North Wing forever.

Sometimes the treasures in the mind can have a greater impact on a country than gold mines.

He shouldn't let the person who possessed the treasure leave Beiyi, especially since this person was the former king of Liang.

At first, when Cen Yuan was explaining movable type printing seriously, Emperor Mingde had this thought flashed through his mind, and Cen Yuan caught it at that moment.

Cen Yuan glared at him coldly, "Don't think too much, you can't stop me!"

Emperor Mingde raised his eyebrows, "What if I detain your wife, your mother-in-law, and your wife's uncle's family?"

Cen Yuan's eyes were firm, "You won't."

"Why do you think so?" Emperor Mingde smiled, feeling proud of being trusted.

Cen Yuan was silent for a moment, then answered, "Then I can't admit that my little girl is blind."

Emperor Mingde: “…”

You are the only one who can speak like this!

Cen Yuan said, "Perhaps thousands of years later, there will be no Beiyi or Liang, but they will merge into a more powerful country. At that time, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the country will be strong and not bullied by foreign enemies. You and I will be nothing but dust in history."

Emperor Mingde was deeply shocked.

The man in front of me is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but why are his thoughts so transcendent, as if they are above history?

He really doesn't care about rights at all!

Emperor Mingde thought that if it were him, he would definitely not give up his kingdom for a woman and would be willing to stand behind a woman all his life.

Even if I met Tang Chujun when I was young...I'm afraid it wouldn't work. A man should make achievements!

A man who has no desire for power is the most terrifying existence. In front of him, even the little greed hidden in the deepest part of my heart is exposed.

Emperor Mingde was no longer in the mood to joke, and responded seriously, "So we just need to do well in the present. History has its own course. We can only try our best to prevent the common people from suffering from war and the disaster of national destruction."

Cen Yuan nodded, "Of course. You are indeed a good emperor, and my little girl is not blind. The person she chose does have ideals and ambitions. This is what an emperor should be like."

Emperor Mingde straightened his back inexplicably. How many years had it been since he last felt affirmed and praised?

At this time, he picked up the "Yijing Weekly" on the table and read it carefully. It contained a detailed account of the historical origins of the martial arts examination, an explanation of the subjects of the martial arts examination, and even a schedule of the martial arts examination.

This may be the first time that the general public has been so close to the military examination. In the past, they had to rely on asking, guessing, and only had a vague understanding of it.

The newspapers reported extensively on the military examination. On the first day, the examinations included archery on foot, archery on horseback, horse spear and weightlifting.

In the past, these events of the martial arts examination were conducted over two days, but this time, time was tight and the task was heavy, so all were concentrated on the same day.

All four events start at the same time. They are not competitive events and only count points. This means that each student will be considered finished once they have completed all four events, and the total points will be the total score for the day.

The participating teams are organized into squares based on the academies, including the Imperial College, the Duke's Family School, the Wencang Academy, the Yunqi Academy, the Zhongxia Academy, the Chunshan Academy, the Beiming Academy, etc., plus a square of individual candidates, which is a team composed of people who have no academy background.

The leaders of each square had drawn lots yesterday. For example, the leader of Yunqi Academy was Cen Yuan, and the order of the draws was: weightlifting, archery, carbine, and horseback archery.

So Yunqi Academy was the first to test weightlifting... All this information was published in the newspapers.

After reading the newspaper, Emperor Mingde took Eunuch Qi to the horse and gun field of the Gongyuan martial arts field.

He originally wanted to go to the weightlifting arena, but he heard from Lord Jiang from the Ministry of Rites that the weightlifting arena was overcrowded.

Emperor Mingde couldn't help but ask, "Have all the tickets for your Ministry of Rites and Ministry of Revenue been sold out?"

When talking about this, Lord Jiang smiled deeply, "It's sold out! It's sold out! It was sold out yesterday. The East Feather Guards also caught a group of scalpers who were reselling the tickets. It is said that the ticket price has been raised to 20 taels per ticket."

Emperor Mingde smiled and said, "I see that your Ministry of Rites and Ministry of Revenue are doing well. I wish we could hold a military examination every year."

Lord Jiang from the Ministry of Rites smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. "Your Majesty is joking. I, your servants, also hope that the court will recruit more talents."

Seeing that the emperor wanted to go to the weightlifting arena, he suggested, "Your Majesty, you should go to the horse and spear arena. There are fewer people there, which is good for your health." He then added, "The first event in the Imperial College is the horse and spear."

The Imperial College was the highest official institution of learning in the imperial court, and logically should have been the place that produced the most talents.

But after Emperor Mingde came to power, the Imperial College was controlled and infiltrated by the Empress Dowager's people, which deeply affected the talent education in the northern wing.

So he simply liberalized education and encouraged aristocratic family schools and private institutions to flourish.

When Chunshan Academy was first opened, the formalities were blocked by an official and Emperor Mingde simply beheaded the official as a warning to the public.

After that, no one dared to tamper with education. As long as the school that met the school standards submitted an application, it would be handled specially.

After several years, the effect was particularly evident in this period. The Imperial College was in decline in all aspects, and not even one of the candidates in the civil service examination made it into the top ten.

The Imperial College was obviously anxious about this martial arts examination.

Emperor Mingde didn't want to visit the Imperial College at all, he only wanted to visit the Yunqi Academy.

Thinking about that scene, Shi Yunqi must have been watching the game in the stands. Wherever Shi Yunqi was, there would be storms; of course, wherever Shi Yunqi was, there would be Shi Anxia. Where these two siblings were, how could their mother not be there?

Oh, I thought too much! Emperor Mingde didn't show any emotion on his face, but he replied anxiously, "Okay."

Then they headed towards the rifle range.

Of course, wherever he went, people knelt down in boredom, and the chants of "Long live the emperor" sounded extremely stiff in their ears.

Emperor Mingde waved his hand and sat down.

With the passionate speech by Mr. Wu, a doctor in the Ministry of War, the military examination horse and gun competition officially kicked off.

There were some people sitting in the horse-shooting field, but not too many. They must be the relatives and friends of the students of the Imperial College, teachers, etc.... As expected, there were not many people.

On the other side, in the weightlifting arena, Lord Meng, the Vice Minister of War, was preparing to give a speech, but the arena was too noisy and he couldn't do it at all.

People are shouting "When the clouds rise, when the clouds rise" one after another. This is clearly a martial arts examination. What does shouting "When the clouds rise" mean?

Shi Yunqi himself was sitting in the stands, stroking his forehead, covering his face, and almost shrinking into his shell, but he was unable to weaken the cheers of "Shi Yunqi" in the slightest.

Lord Meng pressed his hands down several times to silence the crowd, but to no avail. Finally, he could no longer endure it and roared, "Shi Yunqi, why don't you get up and take care of it!"
