Chapter 57: 【Grand Hall Chengjue】

In the hall, the examiners who won by riding and shooting have all concentrated. Those who were eliminated in the riding and shooting have already lost the opportunity to inherit the title.
The tradition of inheriting the title of the Guangming Empire is from the Dandong era. Emperor Abbas feared that his empire would fall after a brief period of glory, and in order to maintain the quality of the upper ruling class of the empire, Dandong designed this assessment system. I have to say that Abbas the Great, the greatest emperor in the history of the empire, has his uniqueness. This vision alone is enough to prove!
All nobles above the earl must participate in the assessment if they want to inherit the title, and if they fail the assessment, they can only be eliminated.
Of course, a nobleman cannot have only one son. If a son is eliminated, then you can let other sons of your own to participate in the assessment, I believe that everyone in the family always has a son who is competitive-even if you step back and say that your son is not competitive, the emperor will not deprive yourself. Knighthood. It's just that this generation is no longer eligible to hold the title. But in the next generation, if outstanding people emerge, they can also come to participate in the assessment again, and if they pass, they can be restored to the title!
In other words, the title is bestowed on the family and will always be retained. However, if a family is capable of this generation, it can be awarded the title. If not, you have to wait until the next generation to talk about it.
This kind of assessment system established by Dandong is to keep the empire's ruling high-level officials from becoming weak and decayed because of the peaceful days. This is also one of the most important reasons why the empire can still maintain considerable national power after two hundred years.
Wu passed the assessment, and here are the other assessments.
His Majesty the Emperor personally presided over the second round of assessment. Several elders of the royal think tank separately assessed several young nobles.
This assessment is even easier for Roddy. Whether it is political or academic, he has been taught by a large number of scholars that Nicole found for him, and he has already gained a considerable foundation. Coupled with reading so many various books, Roddy's knowledge in his mind is already outstanding at this time. Even if I can’t answer some weird questions occasionally, fortunately, Andy’s two-hundred-year-old monster is always reminding in his mind—the things that two-hundred-year-old guy knows can be comparable to an encyclopedia. The whole book!
Of course, Roddy also has his weakness, his weakness is faith! He could not answer most of the theological questions himself. This can’t be blamed on him. He was originally skeptical of the faith of that in the mainland, and the people he came into contact with, whether it was Andy, old Mark, or even Dandong, who had been dead for two hundred years, They all seem to be rebels who dismiss "God".
Fortunately, with Andy's presence, he also dealt with those problems.
After the end of the day's assessment, several families are happy and some are sad. Although some young aristocrats have been eliminated, the family members who came with him may not be disappointed. Some are the eldest sons of the family who have lost the opportunity to inherit the title because of this failure, while the other sons in the family are overjoyed. However, some people have lost their last hope. If they want to restore their family glory, they can only wait for the next generation...
Roddy and seven other young nobles stood in a row in front of the hall, respectfully waiting for the emperor's canonization. Abbas XI's mood at this time is extremely complicated-the current situation is completely in line with his plan. He had originally hoped to send the Tulip family to the front line to take the blame. Then let him inherit the title is also planned. But the strength of this kid today is really amazing! One person singled out 16 first-class warriors! And every opponent could not even stop a move in front of him! I am afraid that this strength has exceeded the third level or more!
The strength of this kid is amazing. I'm afraid that he really went to the Northwest. He still doesn't know what he will do!
And that Gray... that person was not sent by himself to plot against him. However, Abbas XI also knew in his heart who sent that Gray. I heard that the Northern Army commander Milo and Seth have a bad relationship, and Gray is a good friend of Milo... These guys, they will be fooling around all day long!
That Milo, he was very fond of him, but he also had some ability. However, Milo seemed a little too impatient about sending people to deal with the Northwest War. He wholeheartedly hopes to transfer his Northern Army to the northwest-this guy is too impatient to make a contribution... But it is no wonder that all he wants to do is how to overcome the Tulip family...
He was about to promote that Seth, Milo seemed to have noticed a little, so he dared to use tricks under his eyes... Hmph.
Abbas XI had various thoughts in his mind, and his eyes slowly rolled on the faces of the eight young nobles in front of him. Except for Roddy's calm expression, the other seven people blushed, seeming to desperately suppress their inner excitement.
"You make me very proud." Abbas spoke slowly, his voice clear and sweet: "You are also worthy of the glory of your family!"
Having said this, His Majesty the Emperor slowly stood up, raised the scepter symbolizing the supreme emperor in his left hand, and announced loudly: "I declare in the name of the blood of Abbasid and the supreme ruler of the Light Empire, you Formally inherit the title of the family! Your glory will coexist with the empire!"
"Hurrah! Long live!" All the guards inside and outside the hall cheered loudly. The eight young warriors also knelt down immediately.
The emperor walked slowly in front of everyone, drew out his sword, drew it lightly on everyone's shoulder, and asked them to reach out and let them kiss his ring.
Roddy only felt that His Majesty's hands were cold, and he was not excited at all. He smiled coldly, but his face remained calm.
Just when eight young nobles stood up to accept congratulations from other nobles. Suddenly a strange and stern horn sounded from the hall!
"Ah!" Many people couldn't help exclaiming, with a nervous expression on their faces. His Majesty the Emperor also changed his face slightly.
Because they have already heard that this is a special notification horn in the imperial city. The legacy of Emperor Abbas, as long as there is an emergency military situation or an important event at the border, the messenger can sound the horn, and then all the guards of the guards must not stop, and must let them go all the way to the hall! Even in the middle of the night, carriages and horses are allowed to pass without being blocked!
I only heard the sound of rushing horseshoes from far to near. A warrior in silver armor ran all the way to the hall. The knight almost rolled off his horse. His face was sweaty, and so was the armor on his body. It's messed up, and the helmet is gone. It's just that a long red emergency flag that symbolizes a hundred thousand eagerness is still flying.
Gordon and a few guards immediately surrounded them. Although you can enter the palace without obstruction, the inspection before seeing the emperor is indispensable.
The silver armored warrior was almost unsteady. With the support of the two guards, he took out a token from his arms—that was the pass token of the Northwest Army Commander!
Gordon nodded, and walked into the hall with the samurai himself.
"Your Majesty! Northwest Military Intelligence!"
Abbas eleventh shuddered, and then he barely stood firm and said loudly, "Say!"
The silver armored warrior seemed to hesitate for a while-he was not a fool, there are so many people in the hall now-and if the news he had brought was heard by so many people, it might not be a good thing.
Abbas XI's face darkened, and he said lightly: "Let's talk, I can't hide it anyway!"
The silver armor warrior immediately fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty! Two days ago, the prince of the Great Moon Kingdom, Luo Yantar, personally led 180,000 cavalry to attack 500 li in two routes overnight, and even defeated the two important towns of Trier and Loulan in the northwest. The loss of 30,000 troops! At present, the army of Royantal has formed a pincer and encirclement of our Northwest Army! General Ruben asks your Majesty to send reinforcements quickly!"
Om! !
There was a tumult in the hall, some exclaimed, some screamed, and many people whispered, all with expressions of horror.
Abbas XI was pale, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and looked hard at the silver armored warrior in front of him. Then the emperor of the empire let out a long sigh.
"Gordon, call all the ministers to come!" The emperor's voice was pale. Immediately he glanced at the nobles in the hall, waved his hand, and sighed: "Those who have nothing to do, let them go!"
After everyone knelt down and saluted, most of them dispersed. Although Roddy had just obtained the knighthood, he did not have any official positions, so he followed Nicole out of the hall. Only a few nobles with official positions remained in the hall.
Along the way, many nobles talked about the war in the Northwest. Roddy said nothing, just followed Nicole out of the crowd.
In the square, Instructor Carter heard about the war in the northwest, but with an excited expression on the face of the battlefield soldier, he couldn't help but whispered: "Sat Shao...no, uh... Lord Duke. Now. Your Majesty the Emperor will send us out! Every time the empire encounters difficulties, it is an opportunity for our Tulip family to make contributions!"
Roddy looked cold and couldn't help but glance at Nicole. Seeing that Nicole was also worried, he smiled bitterly, and whispered: "Yes. Instructor Carter, it seems...it seems we are here. It's time."
It's just that Roddy still didn't say something in his heart:
"It's dead or alive, just walk and see..."
