    The assessment of the horizontal shooting department went very quickly. Several candidates made mistakes after shooting less than ten arrows and were disqualified. Another candidate lost his accuracy on the first arrow because of nervousness. Such a big target.  None of them passed, which caused a burst of laughter from the people watching. It can be seen that this martial arts assessment puts a lot of pressure on the candidates. Not everyone is as casual as Qin Xuan.

    ¡°Brother Zhai, come on, no one has passed the test now, it¡¯s up to you,¡± Qin Xuan said, raising his fist towards Zhai Tanzhuan.

    "Thank you Jingyuan for your encouragement, I will do it," Zhai Tanzhan said.

    As an astronomy and calendar scholar, it is essential to observe the stars in the sky. There should be no problem with Zhai Tanzhuan's eyes. This is the first element of an archer. As for his archery skills, Qin Xuan doesn't know anything about it. He studies astronomy.  Calendar people really can't figure out why he came to participate in the martial arts competition?  Is it because he wants to take a curved path to promotion?  Or simply give up literature and pursue martial arts?

    "Okay" There were loud cheers from the audience. This Zhai Tanzhuan was not bad at all. With three fast arrows, they all hit the center circle, and his speed was much faster than other players. Although  As soon as the unexpert took action, he knew if there was any. His body was straight and his steps were unsteady. The moment he pulled Yishi's bow as fast as he could, the arrow flew away with a "bang" sound.  Got out.

    This is a quick shot that only a skilled archer can have. It is a feeling and confidence. For bows and arrows, aiming is only one aspect. It depends more on feeling. Bows and arrows are not guns. You can aim at three points and one line.  , it relies more on the feeling that practice makes perfect. At a distance of 105 steps, the arrow cannot be completely straight when shot. There is some upward arc, and it is not a projectile. Besides, the target position is inherently high.  .

    A good archer must not only unite his mind and hand, but also consider the direction of the wind. Zhai Tanzhuan must look at the flag of the examiner's army every time he shoots, and judge the direction and strength of the wind based on the direction and speed of the flag flying.  size, and adjust the shooting angle appropriately. At this point, Qin Xuan still admires him very much. This is a qualified archer. There are many archers who know how to use the wind direction and wind force, but not many can use it accurately. He happens to be the commander  As a staff member of the Tianjian, calculation is also his strong point.

    Another thing is that he shoots arrows very quickly, which saves a lot of energy. He saves the time of carefully aiming and uses the gaps between arrows to rest temporarily, adjust his breathing and recover his physical strength. You must know how to draw the bow.  , even if you don¡¯t shoot, it still takes a lot of effort. If someone else shoots three arrows and you have shot five, you can have a rest period of two arrows. But not everyone can shoot arrows so fast. This is the result of years of practice. No.  How can proficiency make perfect?

    He was shooting so fast that within a short time, the other two candidates were disrupted by him and made mistakes immediately. The two of them glared at Zhai Tanzhuan angrily and wanted to kick him. This was indeed unacceptable.  Blame others, one of the essential qualities of an archer is to be calm and not afraid of being disturbed by external factors. At this point, they are inferior and cannot be called a qualified archer.

    Twenty, twenty-five, twenty-six The moment Zhai Tan shot the thirty arrows, the whole audience burst into shouts. "Well done" and "magic archers" came one after another. Thirty arrows hit the target.  There were eighteen arrows in the inner circle, nine in the second circle, and only three in the third circle. With excellent results, he was the first to get the pass in the horizontal shooting section of the martial arts examination. He raised his bow high,  Waving, and then bowing in turn to the towers and examiners in the north and the candidates and common people in the east and south.

    Although he is not the top scholar in martial arts, he can already be on the emperor's list, which means he has stepped into the door of Wu Jinshi. The science examination grades in the Tang Dynasty are different from those in later dynasties.  , the rank here only means passing the scientific examination. After the Song Dynasty, the rank refers specifically to the top three in the scientific examination. At this time, it only means passing the scientific examination. As long as there are no problems in all aspects of birth and past the court inspection,  You can wait for the appointment.

    ????????????????????????????? After passing the level of shooting, you have to take the imperial examination. This examination refers to the examination of the candidates¡¯ scores and everything else by the imperial center behind the level of shooting. There are three situations:

    1: If you are an honorary officer of fifth rank or above and serve and ride in the three guards (Jianwei, Xunwei, Yiwei), if your rank has passed the annual examination, you can directly participate in the selection and conferment of officers by the Ministry of War.

    Civilian officials are selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, while military attach¨¦s are selected by the Ministry of War. After passing the qualification, they can be appointed. Officials with grades above five are personally awarded by the emperor. The grade is also the official family.  's children.

    2: Honored officers with grades below the sixth grade should be stationed in the guards. Anyone who has passed the annual exam for more than five times will be awarded a casual official.

    Three: Except for the above two situations, those who pass the martial arts examination will be awarded the rank of casual officer after joining the battle.

    hereLet me explain that the Tang Dynasty had strict review and approval procedures for appointing officials. If you want to appoint an official, it must be based on the results of the martial arts examination (such as the number of upper and lower grades in the exam) and the quality of qualifications (what predecessors did  officer, the size of your current official position, whether you are under the influence, etc.), what military merits you have obtained in the army, what level of honorary officers you have received, in short, after many inspections, the Ministry of War will issue you an acknowledgment. With this acknowledgment, you can  It's like being an official, just waiting for the appointment.

    Because those who participated in the martial arts examinations included not only the children of the capital and local officials and white men in the army, but also the children of local, vassal towns, and subordinate tribal leaders.  Officials have advantages over others.

    The three guards are the collective name for the personal guards, the honor guards, and the Yi guards. The personal guards are the emperor's bodyguards. The selection is very strict. You don't have to have good military examination results to get in. Those who can join the personal guards are the sons of officials of third rank or above.  The great-grandson of a second-rank official, the grandson of a third-rank official, the son of a fourth-rank official, the grandson of a fifth-rank ministerial official, the third-rank or above noble officer, and the son of a duke can serve as an honorary guard or as a personal guard of the crown prince's right-hand manor.  .  It can be said that most of the soldiers in the Sanwei are the children of high-ranking officials, with low rank but high status. Once they pass the rank, they are more likely to be promoted than ordinary people.

    "Congratulations to Brother Zhai on your promotion. It seems that I want to congratulate you first. I didn't expect your archery skills to be so good. I admire you." Qin Xuan cupped his hands and congratulated you.

    "It's a fluke. This is not the first time I have participated in a martial arts competition. This is the third time. I failed the first two times," Zhai Tanzhuan said.

    "No matter how many times you pass, you are a strong person. It is estimated that some warriors will never pass the exam in their lifetime. You won the third time, and your performance is like a sharp archer."

    What Qin Xuan said is right. Archery is a physical activity as well as a technical one. His wife, Dame Guo, is not good at archery, but it would be useless to take the exam here. She has been practicing archery since she was a child. In fact, this level of archery used to be  It is divided into horizontal shooting and barrel shooting. Barrel shooting is long-distance archery, but it is currently two-in-one. As long as you have the ability, you can shoot from a distance of 200 paces, and the examiners will record it for you.

    "Although I have passed the exam, I still have to wait for the Ministry of War to inform me. Once I am informed, I can only say that I have the opportunity to be awarded an officer, but it does not mean that I will be awarded the officer immediately. You have to know that a large number of meritorious personnel in the army have been accused.  I am waiting to be conferred. If I can be among the top three, I can be conferred soon," Zhai Tan said.

    "Brother Zhai means that you may not be able to be appointed in time even if you file a lawsuit? Do you still have to wait for the opportunity?" Qin Xuan asked doubtfully.

    "Yes, suing is just a certificate that you can be appointed as an official. If you have sued, you can be appointed as a casual official. You have to wait for the opportunity to actually serve. But without suing, you are not even qualified to be a casual official," Zhai Tanzhuan said.

    When Qin Xuan heard this, he understood the true meaning of suing. He had sued. It was the suing of civil officials, which was the official's certificate. If he participated in the martial arts examination and became a martial official, it sounded like  That's not right. He probably just wants to switch from civil service to military service, but there is no real job. Even if he joins the army, he has no rights. But think about it, as long as he can pass the military examination, how can his wife and Princess Yuzhen get one for herself?  Work hard, otherwise it would be boring to just go to the army and hang around to gain qualifications.

    In fact, this is the case in all dynasties. Some people in the court are good at becoming officials. Some people also hope to be a casual official with mixed seniority. They have no actual duties and do not have to bear responsibilities. If they get military honors in the army and have certain seniority, they can go to local places to gain real power.  Military attach¨¦s work hard, but he is different. Since he is participating in the military examination, he wants to do it well in a down-to-earth manner, so he must be an officer with actual duties. Otherwise, it is better to hang around in Chang'an, with his wife and children on the hot bed.

    "Brother Zhai, don't worry about this. Your father used to be a court official. He has some good friends and disciples. It won't be difficult to get you a real-life officer, right?" Qin Xuan asked.

    "It's hard to say now. We won't know until the Ministry of War assessment is over. However, after passing the martial arts examination, it is easier than ordinary people to be promoted. Especially when you are promoted to a higher position, you will have more advantages than others, so you have to do your best.  Work hard, don¡¯t hold anything back, use your ability to the best of your ability, and then get the qualified spot first,¡± said Zhai Tanzhuan.

    "Okay, I will definitely work hard, thank you Brother Zhai," Qin Xuan said.

    Although Qin Xuan has been in the Tang Dynasty for several years, his understanding of some official affairs is still very superficial. Only by truly entering this industry can he understand some of the details. Zhai Tanzhuan is a son of an official. Compared with ordinary people,  He has more advantages. At least he knows which roads to take. He knows better than others, but Qin Xuan doesn't care about this. He has these women behind him to worry about, so he just has to work hard. As for the issue of promotion, they will find a way.

    "Qin Xuan was chosen by Zuo Wuwei"

    "It's your turn, brother, hurry up and go to the examiner to draw the mark," Zhai Tanzhuan said.

    Qin Xuan took a bag from his saddle and ran to the examiner's seat in the north with it. The signature is your signature before the exam, which proves that you participated in the martial arts examination. The examiner will also review your exam certificate and proof of identity.  To prevent impostors, Qin Xuan came up with the bag without saying anything.

    "There are bows and arrows over there. Go and choose a bow and the required arrows yourself," the examiner said.

    "Sir, can I throw a stone instead of shooting an arrow?"With a bag in hand, I ran to the examiner's seat in the north. The signature is the signature before the exam, which proves that you participated in the martial arts examination. The examiner will also review your exam certificate and things proving your identity to prevent impostors. See  Qin Xuan came up with the bag without saying anything.

    "There are bows and arrows over there. Go and choose a bow and the required arrows yourself," the examiner said.

    "Sir, can I throw a stone instead of shooting an arrow?"
