Li Yuanying really didn't know that His Majesty Li Er had been to the Tribute Academy. There are not so many miscellaneous examination methods in the Jinshi Department. It is almost enough to write an article on the current situation, but this article is not so easy to write. It must be relevant and brilliant. You have to have your own mind.
So for this exam, you are allowed to bring your own dry food for the whole day, and you can light candles to continue the exam when it gets dark, so you can take the exam all day and night.
Although Li Yuanying and his team didn't directly guess the exam questions this time, they had discussed similar questions before. In terms of coming up with an idea, he is no worse than anyone else, he quickly drafted a general idea, and began to write his own articles on the answer sheet. Halfway through writing, he felt hungry, so he took out the dry food he brought and ate a few mouthfuls. It was a pity that he didn't have tea, but he was barely full, so he continued to write.
By noon, Li Yuanying had finished writing the answer sheet. Li Yuanying took a look at it, and found that there were no typos or prohibited content, and the writing was quite fluent. As for the literary talent, anyway, he was like this, and he really couldn't improve his literary talent.
Li Yuanying was very satisfied with his performance, so he handed in the papers and left the Gongyuan early. He looked left and right, before Wei Shu and the others came out, they went to the wine shop outside the Gongyuan and borrowed a hut to liberate themselves, sat down and asked someone to make tea for him.
It was the first time that the shopkeeper of the restaurant had heard that someone came to the restaurant to drink tea. He said with a speechless face that his shop was small, and he had no face and no way to buy the tea that dignitaries loved to drink. Li Yuanying knew that tea was selling well, but he didn't know that ordinary people couldn't buy it at all. He asked the shopkeeper to send an errand to Qianjintang to fetch some tea, since he wanted tea anyway.
Li Yuanying gave money generously, and the shopkeeper and the assistants were all willing to do his business, and they helped him run errands after collecting the money. When the tea was settled, Li Yuanying asked the shopkeeper how hard it was to buy tea. He liked to hear that, the harder it was to buy, the better the sale and the more they could earn!
Not long after, the man came back, not only brought back tea, but also Huang Ying Huang Ying and others. Today when Li Yuanying came to the Tribute Academy for the exam, no one followed him, saying that he didn't want to be special, so he sent them to read books or learn some medical theory in Qianjintang and the library.
The tavern staff went over to fetch tea, and when they heard that Li Yuanying had finished the exam, they rushed over with their guards and internal servants to wait on them, and brought all the tea-makers along the way, occupying a corner of the tavern and started making tea for Li Yuanying .
Although there were not many people in the restaurant at this time, there were also quite a few. Seeing the two cardamom girls making tea like clouds and flowing water, everyone found it pleasing to the eye, and those who were bold asked Li Yuanying for tea, saying that they wanted to try something new.
Li Yuanying generously agreed: "Why not."
Hearing his generosity, everyone couldn't help reporting their family background and wanting to share their names with Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying also reported his name happily, but unfortunately others only knew King Teng, but they didn't know who Li Yuanying was.
Knowing that Li Yuanying had just graduated from the exam, a few people immediately came over to set up a table with him, asking him what questions were tested in this exam, whether it was difficult, and how he answered. Li Yuanying answered one by one, expressing that he felt that he would definitely pass the exam, and the exam questions were not difficult at all!
Seeing that Li Yuanying was only thirteen or fourteen years old, everyone felt that he was overconfident. Seeing that Li Yuanying invited everyone to have tea, everyone tacitly did not tell the truth, and only expressed their sincere blessings to Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying and the drinkers in the restaurant had finished sharing their tea, and then waited for Wu Mei and the three to come out one after another. As for Di Renjie and the others, the content of their exams is relatively complicated, and they haven't seen anyone yet. Li Yuanying was sitting by the window, greeted people when they came out, and called all three of them into the wine shop to have tea and wait for others.
The drinkers in the restaurant did not disperse, and when they saw three young ladies coming out of the examination room, each younger than the other, they immediately remembered the recent rumors. I heard that this year's Jinshi department is very messy. Today, His Majesty not only put his younger brother in for the exam, but also his daughter. There are also two female candidates, one of which is his younger brother's fiancée!
Seeing the three little ladies sitting around Li Yuanying generously without paying attention to other people's glances, the drinkers somehow felt that there was nothing wrong with them coming into the restaurant so openly, but it was a little rude for them to stare for too long.
Then many people knew Li Yuanying's identity: So he is His Majesty's youngest younger brother! No wonder even the two little maidservants beside her are so beautiful and lovely!
Of course Li Yuanying didn't know what the drinkers were thinking about, so he waited for Wu Mei and the other three to ask them how they were doing.
The three of Wu Mei felt that they were performing normally, and Wu Mei's eyebrows were even more radiant. Although she knew that even if she got a good ranking, she would be kicked out, but since she was given this opportunity, she must firmly grasp it!
Li Yuanying knew that the identities of Wu Mei and the other three were easy to be used as arguments, so he had already thought of a good idea: "Can you rewrite the article? If you can, we will publish the article in the library newspaper. Let scholars all over the world comment and comment. Let us take the lead and say to the outside world that all candidates for this subject can submit their articles and publish them in batches. The library newspaper will give them a manuscript fee so that they can eat in Chang'an live comfortably."
Wei Shu nodded and said, "I can write it out."
Wu Mei and Cheng Yang also said that there is no problem.
Li Yuanying also suggested that four articles should be published in each issue without signature, and only let others see what they like and what is not. A really good article has no boundaries, as long as it is given a display platform, it can spread widely!
At this time, Di Renjie and the others also came out, and Li Yuanying said goodbye to the drinkers who had exchanged names just now, and told them that the article written by the four of them would be printed in the library newspaper tomorrow, so they should remember to read it.
A drinker is a good person. Hearing the words, he naturally said that he must watch it, and he would ask his relatives and friends to watch it together!
When Di Renjie and the others heard Li Yuanying said that they would publish their articles, they all regretted not being selected for Jinshi, otherwise they could have fun with Li Yuanying and the others.
Tang Guan was a little worried: "Will the sage get angry if you do this?" Before the rankings came out, Li Yuanying published the test papers in advance and asked outsiders to evaluate them. It seemed that they were forcing the sages to give them a good ranking. .
Li Yuanying said: "I didn't let him show favoritism, why is he angry?" He just asked everyone to read how the article was written, and didn't do anything! The examination period at the Tribute Court is closed, even if there is any commotion outside, it will not affect the examination results, so why can’t it be released
Li Yuanying did what he said, and ran to the library with Wei Shu and others on the spot, writing out the test essay silently before dark.
Early the next morning, people who are accustomed to reading the library newspaper found that there was a special edition of the library newspaper. This special edition came with four unsigned test-taking articles. These four articles had different styles, some were delicate and meticulous, some were The natural atmosphere, some are sharp and sharp, but generally speaking, it makes people feel hearty to read.
It is impossible not to feel comfortable, because in the past few months, the four of them have written at least one article almost every day. You can write thousands of words with your eyes closed!
Those who got the library newspaper couldn't help reading these four articles over and over again, silently making a judgment in their hearts. Some test takers read it, and suddenly lost their minds, thinking that if other candidates are at this level, they will definitely fail the rankings!
Some people had no idea and wanted to know other people's evaluations, so they boldly sent articles to the library and asked the library newspaper to help them publish them. Why not be able to find out your own level and get paid for writing manuscripts
So the next day the library newspaper published four more exam-oriented articles.
Candidates are relieved: I don't feel like they are all masters.
It will take many days for the Gongyuan to mark the papers, and many people can't wait. They suggest that the library should not release four articles four by one, and ask people to copy each article immediately, so that everyone can always have new articles to read and compare. Compare yourself to what level you are. The library has changed from kindness to instant copying and instant posting. The library, which has been operating peacefully for a long time, has reproduced the lively scene when it first opened!
There was such a big commotion outside, and everyone in the court got the news.
Kong Yingda knew it was Li Yuanying's idea as soon as she heard it, and her beard was raised with anger. This kid just finished the exam without stopping, and even spent money to let the candidates publish the exam essays to the outside world! Now everyone is discussing which of the test-taking articles in kenke is the best, and most of them think that among the published articles, one should be selected from the four on the first day!
It is obvious that they feel that the ranking may be unfair, and they should act first to spread the article. They are so confident in their articles!
Kong Yingda didn't help Li Yuanying, and directly reported the matter to His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er put on a dark face and ordered Li Yuanying to be arrested.
Li Yuanying didn't bother with the matter after finishing the arrangements for publishing the essays for the exam, and happily asked Dong Xiaoyi to allocate staff, discuss internship arrangements with the Imperial College, and prepare for the next trip to Taiyuan.
Right now, there is no such thing as a palace examination. After the examination, you just wait for the results to be released, and then you will have an audience before the emperor, and return home with clothes and clothes. These are meaningless to Li Yuanying. If Wu Mei wins the top spot, he can arrange to set up a floating banquet in Fengtai Building and make it a big one!
Therefore, Li Yuanying didn't care after finishing what he could do, and actively prepared for a post-examination trip. He took his son and the others to Taiyuan to play with Li Zhi and see Li Zhi's fat son.
His Majesty Li Er asked someone to carry him over. Li Yuanying was quite puzzled, so he leaned over and asked why His Majesty Li Er suddenly found him.
His Majesty Li Er threw the pile of "special editions" recently published by the library in front of Li Yuanying and asked him what was going on.
Li Yuanying said: "Exchange!" He naturally asked His Majesty Li Er, "Brother, did you not discuss it with others after you finished the exam? These articles are not shameful, why can't they be released?"
His Majesty Li Er glared at him.
Even if Li Yuanying didn't sign it, he could still guess that the four articles of the first day were written by them, but he was still not sure who wrote the most brilliant article.
As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that one of them is written profoundly and sharply, far away from all other articles. Even the bachelors of the Hongwen Museum said that it is a pity that this article is used for exams. Sore spots, good articles enough for the author to spread through the ages!
It is impossible to write current discussions to this level, but it is impossible to do it without knowledge, vision, and mind.
His Majesty Li Er wanted to think that this article was written by Li Yuanying, but after deliberation several times, he found that it was impossible for Li Yuanying to write it.
Li Yuanying does not have the sharpness in this article at all. Another article with a sense of "in fact, I can be more unrestrained" between the lines is Li Yuanying's style. It can be seen that he is working hard to restrain his little tail !
Neither could Wei Shu and Cheng Yang.
Then there is only one person: Wu Mei.
The word "fascinating" was given by him, thinking that she has an outstanding appearance and a natural charm.
As a result, Wu Mei left the palace, and gradually sold out like a sharp sword, with a sharp edge!
Li Yuanying saw that His Majesty Li Er's face was very ugly, and actively explained to himself: "Brother Huang, although you can't avoid relatives, but I am your younger brother, Chengyang is your daughter, and sister Shu is your future sister-in-law. For a reason, it is inevitable that someone will open their mouths and gossip! I know it is difficult for you, so let others read the article first. If they feel that your ranking is unfair and scold you for favoring your own family, I will let you They keep their eyes open and take a good look!"
His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly: "If the ranking given to you by the Tribute Court is lower, you can also ask others to judge, right?"
Li Yuanying categorically denied it: "Impossible, brother, if you don't have the mind to treat everyone equally, you just don't allow us to take the exam. When the Turks came to surrender, you gave them a place to settle down, and you let them be officials and generals; no matter where they come from As long as you are willing to be a member of Datang, you treat them the same as you treat other citizens of Datang. Allow them to be naturalized, to join the army, and to take imperial examinations; You allow them to go to the Imperial College to listen to your knowledge. Brother Huang can accommodate everyone in the world, but can't you accommodate a few women from the Tang Dynasty?"
His Majesty Li Er's face softened slightly after hearing Li Yuanying's words. He leaned on the table and rubbed his forehead, his expression was a little tired, and he asked, "Have you been on good terms with the children of Fan Yang's Lu family recently?"
Seeing that His Majesty Li Er looked tired, Li Yuanying cleverly went up to massage his temples, and said, "Yes, I took it with me when I went back to Cuiwei Palace last time, and you praised him for his good poems! I and You said, he is very smart and can learn everything quickly. I think he was delayed by his family. His family asked him to learn some Cangya studies. Qinggui is Qinggui, but it is very difficult to learn. If he came to Chang'an earlier, You will definitely be able to take the Jinshi exam with us!"
His Majesty Li Er was comfortably letting Li Yuanying show his courtesies. Hearing what Li Yuanying said, he thought of those irritating aristocratic families.
If all the children of the aristocratic family come to take the entrance examination, I am afraid that nothing will happen to Li Yuanying! Although the imperial court set up official schools and gave the children of poor families the opportunity to study, but firstly, no one from the poor family was enlightened. The talents used are basically in the hands of aristocratic families.
In fact, His Majesty Li Er doesn't mind using people from these aristocratic families. The problem is that they don't think highly of the Li and Tang royal family, and many people don't even come to take the exam. For example, this time when he asked Li Yuanying and three female candidates to take the Jinshi test, some candidates silently dismissed the test, thinking that such a scientific test insulted them!
His Majesty Li Er is also temperamental. These aristocratic families do not like to play with their Li Tang royal family. Gao Shilian moved these families back.
His Majesty Li Er was quite surprised to hear Li Yuanying sincerely praised Lu Zhaolin. If there is anything that the aristocratic family looks down on the most, it must be a not-so-famous royal relative like Li Yuanying. How did this kid make people look at him differently
Hearing that His Majesty Li Er did not believe that he could make Lu Zhaolin a friend, Li Yuanying said displeasedly: "I have made friends with him sincerely, and he has also been with me sincerely. What is so strange! I also have correspondence with many of his friends. Usually we encounter problems that we don’t know, so we write to them and ask them!”
His Majesty Li Er said: "It seems that he really regards you as a friend."
If it wasn't for sincere communication, Lu Zhaolin would definitely not mention Li Yuanying with his friends, let alone bring Li Yuanying along to correspond with his friends.
Li Yuanying became proud: "Of course, I am the best at making friends!"
His Majesty Li Er saw that he was so frightened, he didn't want to hear him show off anymore, let him play with himself, and stop messing around.
Li Yuanying denied it categorically: "I didn't do anything!" His Majesty Li Er chased him away and he didn't leave, but asked, "Brother Huang, did you encounter any troubles?"
His Majesty Li Er didn't want to mention it to Li Yuanying, but Li Yuanying and Sun Simiao had learned a few hands, rubbing his head for him was quite comfortable, so he leaned back and talked to Li Yuanying.
The troublesome thing is whether to bring people to fight Goryeo. Goryeo has been restless in the past two years, mainly because the powerful minister named Gai Suwen in Goryeo is not safe. Gai Suwen's full name is Yuan Gai Suwen, and Yuan is a surname. Everyone tacitly calls him Gai Suwen, or changes his surname casually.
Gai Suwen holds the military power in his hand and can do whatever he wants in Koryo. The last Koryo lord who tried to kill him has already been chopped into pieces by him. The current Koryo lord is supported by him. He is very obedient and supports everything he does. . After Gai Suwen finished the internal struggle, he extended his hand to neighboring countries. Silla was the first to bear the brunt. After all, Silla itself was not at peace. Goryeo and Baekje jointly engaged in it, and it had no power to fight back!
These are all vassal states of the Tang Dynasty. The vassal states were disobedient and repeatedly provoked the authority of Tian Khan. His Majesty Li Er felt that he couldn't bear it and had to fight!
In this regard, the generals of the DPRK and China agreed. They hadn't exercised their muscles for a long time, and they wanted to make some military achievements. As for the emptiness of the national treasury and the hardships of the people, that is not what they would consider. If the military officer can handle all these, what do you civil servants do
Most civil servants naturally disagree with this behavior of increasing their workload to help others.
Among them, Wei Zheng opposed the most fiercely. He chased His Majesty Li Er to persuade him when he caught the air, saying that these years of wars, the Turkic Tuyuhun, and the Tubo Gaochang, the people are suffering!
Koryo is far away in Liaodong, the land is barren, and the products are poor, even if it is captured, it will not be beneficial. The most important thing is that the front line is too long, and it is too difficult to transfer troops or food. If we really want to go on an expedition to Korea, the corvee of the people will be increased, and all adult men will go to the expedition. Life will be difficult!
Only then did Li Yuanying realize that during the period of his retreat and review period, you had already had a round of quarrel in court, and Dai Ting, as usual, had no news back, and he didn't know what was going on in Silla.
Hearing His Majesty Li Er said that Gai Suwen was so hateful, Li Yuanying became nervous: "Will Dai Ting and Man Man be okay?"
His Majesty Li Er said: "When Xiangli Xuanju came back, he said that they had already arrived in Silla safely, and there was no other news. Why, the people you sent didn't send you a letter?"
Li Yuanying said: "Dai Ting never likes to write letters, saying that it is so far away, it is useless to write a letter, just report it when you come back."
In the past, Li Yuanying also wanted to send someone to be responsible for writing letters, but after thinking about it, it was a bit like spying on Dai Ting, so he gave up and let Dai Ting play freely.
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you not afraid that he will take your money and never return?"
Li Yuanying said: "If Dai Ting only had money in his eyes, he wouldn't have worked so hard to run around."
His Majesty Li Er said: "Oh? Then what is in his eyes?"
Li Yuanying was at a loss for words.
He snorted, "How do I know! Anyway, he doesn't care about that little money."
His Majesty Li Er felt that if this kid hadn't been lucky enough to pick good people, he would have lost all his money.
At this time, someone said that Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were asking for an audience, so His Majesty Li Er asked Li Yuanying to go to Li Jing. There was a military report from Li Jing, and there might be news from Silla.
Li Yuanying didn't like to listen to them discuss government affairs, so he ran away.
Changsun Wuji entered and saw that His Majesty Li Er was in a good mood. He sat down and asked why Li Yuanying came, and His Majesty Li Er had a helpless expression of "what should I do if my brother loves me so much?" I clicked and chatted by the way."
What can Changsun Wuji do
Changsun Wuji can only take advantage of the situation and praise Li Yuanying as a filial younger brother.
Li Yuanying didn't know that he had accidentally disgusted Changsun Wuji, so he ran to find Li Jing to ask for the military newspaper.
Li Jing originally applied for retirement, but His Majesty Li Er refused to let him go, and recently let him continue to work as Minister of the Ministry of War.
Hearing that Li Yuanying was sent by His Majesty Li Er, Li Jing naturally showed him all the military newspapers.
Li Yuanying only learned a few words from His Majesty Li Er, and after reading the military newspaper, he was deeply impressed by Yuan Gai Suwen, who could be called the culprit. He discussed with Li Jing: "This guy is a bit powerful."
Li Jing said: "The Liaodong countries occupy a corner alone, but they are so bold because they think they are far away. Once the king's master goes north, they will definitely surrender soon, and they are not very powerful."
Li Yuanying said: "Then they surrendered in the past, should we fight to the end?"
Li Jing said: "Since they have surrendered, we will stop fighting."
Li Yuanying said: "It sounds meaningless, isn't it a surrender? They belong to the Tang Dynasty, and they have to surrender whether they surrender or not. If they meet shameless people, they will surrender with you. Walking and continuing to mess around, do we have to go back and fight again?"
Li Jing said: "This is something that can't be helped. You can't drive people to death if they are willing to surrender you."
Li Yuanying sighed with emotion: "The most difficult thing to deal with in this world is a shameless person!"
The little prince didn't see the military newspaper related to Silla, but the news of Jin Shengman's smooth return to the country was brought back by the mission, so he was not too worried, thanked Li Jing and left.
Early in the morning of the second day, the Gong Yuan was about to release the list. The genius was bright, and the gates of the square city were just opened, and scholars scattered in various squares flocked out, and rushed to the Gongyuan to watch the list.
The author has something to say:
The little prince posted on Moments: The most difficult thing to deal with in this world is a shameless person!
Soon I received a new reminder: Your good friend Huangxiong, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, and Fang Xuanling have liked it.
Little Prince:
