Chapter 2478 Return to Tianyun (44)
With the support of her husband Tao Mingye, Su Xin was more motivated to take the military exam.
The military exam here is the same as the civil exam, with four exams, namely the Tongshi, Xiangshi, Huishi, and Dianshi.
The Tongshi is held in the county, and those who pass the exam are called Wu Xiucai; the Xiangshi is held in the prefecture, and those who pass the exam are called Wu Juren; Huishi is held in the imperial capital, and those who pass the exam are called Wu Jinshi; the Dianshi, those who have obtained the qualification of Wu Jinshi after the Huishi, will be divided into three grades through the Dianshi.
The first grade is the top three, the first is Wu Zhuangyuan, the second is Wu Bangyan, and the third is Wu Tanhua.
The second grade is from the fourth to the twentieth, and they are qualified to be "granted Wu Jinshi".
All those below the second grade are the third grade, and they are qualified to be "granted the same Wu Jinshi".
The Tongshi is held every year, once a year; the Xiangshi is held every two years; and the Huishi is held every three years.
This year there is a Tongshi, next year there is a Tongshi and Xiangshi, and the year after will there be Tongshi, Xiangshi, and Huishi together.
As long as there are candidates who pass the Huishi, there will be a Palace Examination that year.
However, one year, because no one passed the Huishi, and the people in power in Tianyun held the principle of preferring to have nothing than to have something unqualified, there was no Palace Examination that year. Of course, this situation is rare. After all, Tianyun is so big that there are still many talents.
If Su Xin wants to pass the exam to become the top martial arts student, it will take at least three years. That is, this year she will take the Xiucai exam, next year she will take the Juren exam, and the year after she will take the Jinshi exam, and then she will take the Palace Examination.
This cannot be taken across levels, you have to take the exam step by step. You can only take the Juren exam after you pass the Xiucai exam, and you can only take the Jinshi exam after you pass the Juren exam, and you can only take the Palace Examination after you pass the Jinshi exam.
The main subjects of the Wuju exam are: horse archery, foot archery, horse spear, weightlifting, weight bearing, pulling a hard bow, and writing.
The subjects of the Tongshi, Xiangshi, and Huishi exams are the same, but the higher you go, the harder it is. For example, in the Tongshi weightlifting, one only needs to lift 100 jin to pass, but in the Xiangshi, one needs to lift 200 jin to pass, and in the Huishi, one needs to lift 300 jin to pass. For another example, in the Tongshi riding and archery, two out of nine shots are passed, but in the Xiangshi riding and archery, four out of nine shots are passed, and in the Huishi, six out of nine shots are passed.
Taking the Wuju exam also requires taking the Wen exam, but it is not as difficult as the Wenju exam.
Su Xin is now in the imperial capital, and she is a descendant of a general. As long as she is in the imperial capital, she can directly participate in the Tongshi, Xiangshi, and Huishi exams.
"It will take three years." Su Xin really felt that it was too long. She originally planned to finish the exams in one year. Now, even if she has the ability to take the exams, she will not be allowed to take them. It will take at least three years for her to win the Wuzhuan.
However, apart from becoming a high-ranking official and meeting her parents through this path, Su Xin has no other good way.
This is the easiest way she can think of to see her parents. Who made her parents too high-ranking? They are the current king and queen. How can she see them casually?
The registration for the Tongshi, Xiangshi, and Huishi is at the end of February every year, the exams start in mid-June, and the results are announced in mid-July.
If there are qualified candidates in the Huishi, the Palace Examination will be held one month after the results of the Huishi are announced.
This year, we can only take the Tongshi, so we will rely on the Tongshi. This year, the Tongshi registration starts on February 27th. Su Xin did not go on the first day because she did not want to meet Tao Minghai. She waited until the last day of registration, February 29th, to register.
The maid Hongye accompanied her.
"Sir, I want to register!" Su Xin said to the official who registered at the registration office as soon as she walked to the registration office.
The official saw that Su Xin was very beautiful and weak, so he kindly advised: "There are not many women who participate in the martial arts examination every year, and they all fail the Tongshi. So far, there has not been a female martial arts scholar. This lady, you should not register, so as to save your efforts in vain."
