The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband

At this time, Li Shao was listening attentively to the official from the Ministry of Rites in front of him reading out the examination rules.

The morning session is archery.

In the first round of horseback archery, candidates need to ride horses back and forth on the track twice, draw the bow and shoot arrows six times, and hit the target at least four times to pass.

In the second round, the candidates shoot arrows while standing 120 steps away from the target. Each person shoots six arrows in a row, and those who hit the target with three arrows out of six are considered to have passed.

Both horse shooting and foot shooting require the target to be hit in the center area. Hitting the edge, frame, target flag or base of the target will be invalid.

Those who pass both items can obtain a "single good" qualification.

The afternoon session is a game of skill and bravery.

The first item is to pull a hard bow. There are three types of bows: 12-force, 10-force, and 8-force. There is also a giant bow of 15-force. Candidates can choose the bow number by themselves. They are limited to three times of pulling the bow, and each time they must pull it to the full length.

The second event is dancing with a broadsword. The swords are classified into three types: 180 jin, 150 jin, and 120 jin. The candidate is qualified if the sword flower can be seen in the dance.

The third item is lifting a large stone. The weight of the stones is divided into three types: 350 jin, 300 jin, and 250 jin. Candidates can choose the weight by themselves and are required to lift the stone between the chest and abdomen. Then, using the strength of the waist and abdomen, turn the bottom of the stone over to the left and right once each (called "presenting the seal"). Each person has three chances and must complete it within three times to pass.

Those who pass all three items and use one or two of the equipment specifications as number one or number two can obtain a "single good" qualification.

Those who have two "single good" qualifications can obtain "double good" qualifications.

Combined with the results of tomorrow's policy essay, the final ranking will be the palace examination, but the final ranking still needs to be approved by the emperor.

After listening to this, Li Shao felt that the judging rules for the martial arts palace examination were very reasonable.

Once the rules are announced, the exam will officially begin.

Li Shao was the first in the first group, and naturally the first to show off in front of everyone. Whether he was shooting on horseback or on foot, every arrow he shot hit the bull's eye cleanly and neatly.

Jing Xiangting on the stage couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay!"

Seeing the emperor so happy, Yu Dequan on the side immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, this Li Jinshi is indeed extraordinary, a master archer! Only a wise ruler like you can attract such a talent to be loyal."

"Hahaha, Dequan, you are such a flatterer, you only know how to flatter me, but what you said is not wrong."

Seeing the emperor smiling happily, Yu Dequan knew that what he said was right, so he decided to stop while he was ahead and did not make any more jokes.

The other officials present were also very tactful and began to say that the emperor was wise and that God would bless the Jing Kingdom.

The other candidates saw that Li Shao performed so well as the first one to take the stage, and now the emperor and other officials were watching, so they couldn't lose.

They all put in their best efforts, making this batch of military scholars seem stronger than the previous ones, and Jing Xiangting was very pleased.

At noon, he even specifically ordered a snack for them.

Although the emperor was not around, these candidates still had to bow and thank the emperor for his grace, which made Li Shao complain wildly in his heart, saying that it would be a lot of trouble to have a bite of your meat.

During lunch break, although they were not allowed to talk, others smiled and nodded to him to show their friendliness.

Only Zheng Qian treated him like an enemy, staring at him with his pair of black chicken eyes. He was really like a toad lying on the ground, not biting but annoying.

Just because he is number one, he is jealous of himself. He doesn't know how to improve himself and only knows how to do petty things. He is really the most petty man he has ever seen.

But since he is so disgusted with himself, I might as well disgust him too.

In the afternoon match, Li Shao performed exceptionally well, selecting the highest mark in every item.

Moreover, just to seduce Zheng Qian, he even broke the fifteen-force bow, thinking that he could afford it even if he had to pay in silver.

The whole audience was shocked at the time. You know, it is extremely rare to be able to pull a bow of twelve forces to its full potential, but he actually broke a bow of fifteen forces!

Jing Xiangting said directly to Dequan: "After the skill and courage exam is over, call Li Shao here. I want to ask him a few questions."

"Yes, Your Majesty." It seems that this Jinshi will soon become the top scholar, Yu Dequan thought secretly.

Several adults on the side also thought so. It now seemed that Li Shao was indeed a talented person.

Moreover, the emperor is already quite interested in him. If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely use him in a more important position in the future. It seems that I have to contact him privately after the palace examination is over.

After the skill and courage exams were over, Li Shao followed the guards forward, saluted Li Xiangting and said, "Your Majesty, I, Li Shao, pay my respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

"My dear Lord Li, please excuse me. I have heard about some of your deeds. Now that I see you, I find you are indeed extraordinary."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

"Where is your hometown? Do you have a master to learn these skills?"

Li Shao had long guessed that after he passed the military examination, people would not only ask about his background, but also investigate it.

But he was not afraid of being investigated, so he said calmly: "I am an orphan, and I grew up in an unknown temple. I heard from the master chef who raised me that I was thrown in front of the temple by someone when I was still a baby."

"The master chef passed away a few years ago, and I am the only one left. So I want to go down the mountain to have a look. This is also my first time going down the mountain, and I don't have any direction or purpose."

"I don't know how I ended up in Zhaojia Village. Seeing the beautiful scenery and simple folk customs there, I decided to settle down there. I didn't have any master, but I just practiced martial arts with a master for a few years."

Jing Xiangting didn't think that Li Shao was lying. After all, no one dared to lie to him, and everyone would verify everything Li Shao said.

Now he just thinks that Li Shao is extremely talented and has no complicated family background, so he can use him without any scruples. The more he looks at Li Shao, the more he likes him.

"No wonder this is your first time participating in the martial arts exam. If a talent like you had come down the mountain earlier, you would have been discovered long ago."

"Also, have you got married?"

"Your Majesty, I have married and have children. After settling in Zhaojia Village, I fell in love with a man from the same village at first sight. He gave me twins, a son and a little boy, who are almost one year old."

When talking about his wife and children, Li Shao couldn't help but show a look of happiness on his face.

Jing Xiangting was even more satisfied. People who value love are good! "Hahaha, Lord Li is so lucky."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

"Please pay attention to tomorrow's policy discussion. I am waiting for you to give me another surprise."

Li Shao replied: "I will do my best to live up to the emperor's expectations."

Jing Xiangting nodded with satisfaction, and then let him go.
