The Martial Examination Arrives!
The literary and martial examinations were held two days in a row.
This was why Han Hun and the others who passed the theory examination did not have much time to prepare before the martial examination arrived.
As for the location chosen for the martial examination, it was no longer the Examination Hall. After all, the Examination Hall was only so big, and it was difficult to let go.
Moreover, the Great Tang was founded on martial arts, and even a civil official could wield a sword or saber a few times. As a result, the importance of the martial examination was even greater than that of the literary examination.
Therefore, the location of the martial examination was directly chosen in a military camp outside Chang 'an City.
This camp had a standing army of one hundred thousand soldiers, and their commander was none other than Great General Hou Junji.
In other words, this was Hou Junji's territory.
Hou Junji was seated on the platform, a table in front of him.
There was some food on the table.
Beside him, the people seated were Crown Prince Li Chengqian and his son Hou Liang.
Behind them were some of Li Chengqian's supporters.
Hou Junji picked up his teacup and blew at the steam."Your Highness can just give the order. Why would you trouble Your Highness to come personally?”
When Li Chengqian heard this, a gloomy look flashed across his eyes. He said expressionlessly,"I want to see him crippled with my own eyes."
"Oh?"
Hou Junji gave a soft 'oh'."It seems like Your Highness really hates Han Hun!”
When Li Chengqian heard Han Hun's name, a cold glint suddenly flashed across his eyes. He said coldly,"Since young, when has bengong ever suffered such a loss, and when has bengong ever lost such face? Last night, Imperial Father punished BenGong severely for an ant. If BenGong endured this hatred, how could he convince the public in the future?”
Hou Liang also said," That's right, Father. That Han Hun is really too despicable. He relies on his own abilities and the protection of the Li Residence to not put His Highness and us in his eyes at all. If he gains power one day, he will definitely be a huge problem for us!"”
"So father, you must help His Highness get rid of him!”
Hou Junji glanced meaningfully at Li Chengqian. Seeing that Li Chengqian's lips were pursed, the killing intent in his eyes unconcealable, Hou Junji's lips twitched.
He said," If I can serve Your Highness, I will do my best. Don't worry, Your Highness. From the day I choose to support Your Highness, Your Highness's matters are my matters. Therefore, I will definitely kick away all the ants in your way."”
When Li Chengqian heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face. He said,"General Hou's contribution to this prince, this prince will remember it. When this prince ascends to the throne in the future, this prince will definitely not forget General Hou's great contribution!”
Hou Junji's eyes flashed, and the smile on his face grew wider.
He was in high spirits and did not put Han Hun in his eyes at all. In his opinion, a little son-in-law of the Li Residence was not even qualified to be looked at by him.
He didn't even care about Li Chaoge and Cheng Chumo, let alone Han Hun. The only people he cared about were Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing, who were of the same status as him.
The reason why he pulled down his face to deal with a junior today was also just to get closer to his relationship with Li Chengqian.
Hou Junji's goal wasn't just to become a Great General or a Vice Minister of War….
In the original history, Hou Junji had rebelled in the end. At that time, he had already become one of the twenty-four meritorious officials of the Lingyan Pavilion, and his status was already very high. Yet he had still rebelled. From this, one could see how ambitious he was.
Therefore, in order to achieve his goal, he could even rebel. What despicable things could he not do?
Destroy a junior?
What was it?
" They're here! Han Hun and the others are here!"
At this moment, some shouts suddenly sounded.
Hou Junji looked over and saw a group of four approaching.
They were Li Chaoge, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaidao, and Han Hun.
Hou Junji's attention was immediately drawn to Han Soul.
Even though Han Hun was walking alongside Li Chaoge, Cheng Chumo, and the other elites of the younger generation of the Great Tang, he was not surprised to overshadow them.
He was like the sun. Even though he was on par with the stars, he was the only one who had the right to enjoy the light.
"What a young hero!”
Even though Hou Junji was on the opposite side of Han Soul, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
Some people, no matter how ordinary their status was, could not be hidden in the crowd.
His temperament, his experiences, everything about him made him stand out from the others.
"Father, why are you still praising him?"
Hou Liang saw Li Chengqian's expression was extremely ugly and hurriedly spoke out.
Hou Junji sneered." I'm telling the truth. This Han Hun is indeed extraordinary. He has an outstanding temperament and a sharp edge. No wonder Your Highness fell at his hands. However..."
Seeing that Li Chengqian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Hou Junji chuckled."But so what? No matter how outstanding he was, he could not defeat the moment His Highness was born. His Highness was already standing in a place that he could not catch up with when he was born. So, why should His Highness be embarrassed and angry for an ant?”
"And since ancient times, there have been countless prodigies. How many people have shown their talents when they were young? How many prodigies could survive until the end?”
He slowly stood up and said with a smile,"" So, Your Highness, Heaven's Favorites are not words of praise, because Heaven's Favorites usually have short lives. Today, I feel very honored, because I…"
"To be able to personally eliminate a Chosen who could shake the world," Hou Junji said with a grin.”
It had to be said that Hou Junji was a good talker, and after a few words, Li Chengqian's expression finally improved.
He looked down at Han Hun and said through gritted teeth,""General Hou, bengong will cripple him completely. bengong will make him despair and make him wish he was dead! He had the ability and the passion, but he could only become a cripple in despair!”
Hou Junji tilted his head and revealed a terrifying smile."Don't worry, Your Highness. I thought that today would be boring, but it seems that today will be especially interesting!”
With that, Hou Junji no longer hesitated. He walked over to the front of the group and swept his gaze over the examinees. His gaze paused for a moment on Han Hun, then he waved his hand and said,"Martial examination, begin!"
