Chapter 116 Talking All Night
"If you follow your plan now, I'm afraid you will offend many people in the court. By then, our Jinyiwei will definitely lose a lot of support."
Zhao Feng seemed to have been prepared for this. He said calmly, "If our expansion is aimed at caring for other people's children, then they will definitely unite with the He family to resist the Jinyiwei's next move. This will not be a good thing for us."
Zhao Feng told the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard his thoughts in detail.
"Since this matter has been handed over to you, it's up to you what to do next."
Li Chengfeng certainly knew that Zhao Feng's arrangement had some truth to it, but it was not a very wise thing to offend some meritorious families in the court so blatantly.
It seems that I have to make more trips to the capital myself.
Three days later, all those who had signed up for the Jinyiwei expansion would gather in front of the Jinyiwei command office.
Looking around, it seems like there are crowds of people, what a lively scene.
"Sir, I didn't expect so many people would sign up for the Imperial Guard."
Seeing such a scene, Ye Ziyu frowned slightly.
Although it is a good thing that there are many people signing up, since the admission examination of the Jinyiwei is very strict, I am afraid that many people will be eliminated.
"Sir, if we don't have enough vacancies for recruitment this year, will we lower the assessment standards? After all, these two things have already broken through one section, so I'm afraid we have to speed up."
In fact, Ye Ziyu’s worries are not unreasonable.
Now, both the power of the He family and the power of the major sects in the martial arts world are developing extremely rapidly. If they cannot be stopped, they will definitely cause great trouble in the future.
"Our Jinyiwei is expanding its recruitment in the hope of recruiting truly talented individuals. We can't lower the corresponding assessment standards just to make up the numbers."
There is absolutely no way Zhao Feng would give in on this point.
About an hour later, when it seemed that everyone had arrived, Jinyiwei Commander Li Chengfeng finally arrived.
Seeing so many people taking part in the Jinyiwei expansion assessment, he, as the commander, naturally felt proud.
"Master Xu did a good job this time."
Li Chengfeng naturally recognized Zhao Feng's ability. "Now that everyone is here, let's not waste any more time and start all the assessments as soon as possible."
Following Zhao Feng's order, all those taking the test were numbered according to their team labels, and then tested one by one.
"The Jinyiwei assessment is mainly divided into five items."
Zhao Feng scanned the crowd with a dignified gaze and continued, "The first event we'll compete in is naturally archery. The second is martial arts, the third is swordsmanship, and the fourth..."
Zhao Feng then laid out all the requirements for the assessment.
It can be said that the assessment requirements for this expansion are more difficult than before, and many people have shown timidity.
"Since you're here to take the Jinyiwei expansion exam, you should be mentally prepared for this. After all, we in the Jinyiwei can't afford to keep idle people."
"Of course, it's impossible for some people to sneak in by taking advantage of the situation."
Zhao Feng's words were obviously addressed to certain people.
"I now declare the first round of archery to begin."
Following Zhao Feng's order, all those who participated in the expansion of the Jinyiwei went forward to receive a bow and arrow.
Everyone felt the bow and arrow in their hands were heavy.
After all, they had lived a privileged life since childhood and had rarely touched a bow and arrow. Naturally, when they suddenly picked up a long wooden object, they felt it was a bit heavy.
"What you hold in your hands are spears, which I made especially for you."
Zhao Feng couldn't help laughing when he saw these people holding wooden sticks. "Although these sticks are thick, they break easily and are not suitable as weapons. You'd better choose a shorter one."
Zhao Feng's proposal was quickly adopted.
Because of the expansion of the Jinyiwei this time, many people are trying to get into the Jinyiwei with a lucky attitude. If they really use spears, they may anger the Jinyiwei.
"This is the rule of our Jinyiwei. What you need to do now is to find the wooden stick in your hand."
After Zhao Feng gave the order, all the Jinyiwei dispersed to look for their own sticks.
However, they soon discovered a problem because there were too many sticks at the scene, and basically the sticks in everyone's hands were similar in size and shape.
It is almost impossible to choose a suitable stick from so many sticks.
"No, no!"
"Ouch, it hurts so much! The stick in my hand broke. How could this happen?"
……
There was a burst of wailing sounds at the scene.
Seeing this, Zhao Feng walked over and asked a few questions, and soon someone brought over a new wooden stick.
But even so, many people had their arms injured or their sticks broken, and some even withdrew from the assessment due to injuries.
"How could this happen?"
Many people had sad faces, and they couldn't believe that they had failed so easily.
But someone soon figured it out: "As the saying goes, there is always someone stronger than the strongest. Since this is an assessment by the Imperial Guards, how can it be so easy to pass?"
"Yes, if we can pass it successfully, we can officially join the Jinyiwei."
Listening to the discussion below, Zhao Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, since you have all entered the Jinyiwei, your future prospects are definitely limitless. As long as you work hard, you will definitely get better opportunities."
Zhao Feng said this very nicely, but who knows how much truth there is in it.
"Alright, now please take your sticks and follow our guards out of here to the outer courtyard's martial arts arena."
A group of people left the training ground one after another, while Zhao Feng stayed where he was.
"Sir, is it really worth it for us to do this? There are quite a few playboys among this group of people. What if they join the Jinyiwei and start causing chaos?"
A man in official uniform stood next to Li Chengfeng, frowning slightly. It was obvious that he was not very satisfied with the results of this assessment.
Li Chengfeng was also dissatisfied. In the past, the Jinyiwei had to train for about three months after each round of assessment before the next round.
Therefore, even those who are eliminated are still the best among the strong.
Now, due to time constraints, we have to break some of the previous rules. However, if this practice were to be spread, it would probably affect the reputation of the Jinyiwei.
