Datang unsigned for six years, only to know that it is Journey to the West

Li Bai is also one of them. He thinks that his father has been an official, and he has experienced many things, and he has more foresight and talent, so he thinks that he will definitely win another dollar.

After Li Shimin took his seat, the chief examiner Wei Zheng said loudly: "The palace examination is divided into two parts. The first is poetry and prose. The rhyme does not have to be the same as the poems in the previous provincial examination. Play according to your ability; the second is policy questions, His Majesty will personally ask about a state matter, and you must compose your composition according to the neat sentence style of parallel, four, and six pairs."

"Poems and policy questions are divided into half and half, and the time is two sticks of incense each."

After Wei Zheng determined the content of the exam, all the candidates became serious, except Li Bai, who looked calm and full of energy.

The content of the palace examination actually included poems and prose, which is what he is best at.Although Ce Wen didn't have much contact with him, his father gave him a surprise tutoring session before the exam, so it wasn't a big problem.

Wei Zhengdao: "The theme of the poem is the moon."

moon? !

Many candidates were taken aback for a moment, and then their expressions were wonderful.

The theme of the moon seems ordinary, but it is actually very difficult, because it is definitely not possible to simply write about the moon, otherwise it will be inferior.

Poetry and prose are prevalent in the Tang Dynasty now, literati and poets are very familiar with poetry and prose, and the elders above the court are basically great poets.

If it is not written well, it will be very shameful.

But someone happened to have written a poem about the moon, and it can be used at this time, and it can be completed one step earlier than others, which will create a feeling of genius.

There are also people who are not very good at poetry and prose, so they have a headache, especially when they enjoy a lot of flowers and moons on weekdays, but they can't hold back half a fart.

It is really uncomfortable to write poems with the moon at this time.

However, there is also a kind of person who looks calm, has no inventory, but is extremely calm.

That is Li Bai.

He once made a poem about the moon, but he didn't bother to use it again.

As for the poems on the theme of the moon, Li Bai was very calm, he thought it couldn't be simpler.

At this time, Li Bai already had great admiration for Su Chen in his heart. As Su Chen said, he would go ahead in the imperial examination.

Really.

The imperial examination also included poetry and fu, which was tailor-made for him.

Li Bai even thought, "Master Tianshi said that I have no problem with the imperial examination, but I am not suitable for being an official. However, if I can pass the exam as the number one scholar, how can I be an official?!"

While everyone was scratching their heads, and some old sixes were silently writing poems and prose they had written, Li Bai sat calmly.

Many people are watching him, including Li Shimin.

They all wanted to see how much this child prodigy had, but Li Bai didn't even have any intention of writing after seeing half a stick of incense.

The old eunuch Wuji was beside Li Shimin, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Li Taibai has fallen asleep."

Fell asleep? !

Li Shimin took a closer look, and it seemed that Li Bai was really asleep, and his body even swayed slightly.

His cheeks twitched, "This kid is so arrogant, he actually fell asleep during the palace exam, I hope he has the talent to match."

After another half stick of incense.

Some old sixth students have already handed in the papers, and some people are revising and revising.

Li Bai woke up when he heard that he was walking, wiped the drool from the corners of his mouth, and stretched his waist.

He just paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and immediately wrote the title "Quiet Night Thoughts" on the paper!

Quiet Night Thoughts!

The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground.Looking up at the bright moon, bowing your head and thinking about your hometown.

When the first two sentences of this poem came out, the sharp-eyed ministers had already seen it, and they thought it was ordinary.

This poem is a bit ordinary, sorry for the name of this child prodigy!

Li Shimin also noticed it, and even thought in his heart, "It's impossible for a child prodigy to write quatrains all the time."

however.

When Li Bai wrote the next sentence, Li Shimin and the officials were stunned.

They were all dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

Raise your head to look at the moon, and look down at your hometown.

It seems to be more plain, but in fact, after reading it for the first time, it is very shocking. After reading it a few times, one can't help but feel a kind of sadness from it, and the feeling of homesickness is beyond words.

Great!

It's amazing!

Worthy of being a child prodigy!

After Li Bai finished writing, someone came to collect the paper.

After the two sticks of incense were burnt, everyone handed in the papers. Although some people hadn't finished writing, they still had to bite the bullet and hand in the papers.

Someone will mark the papers on the spot, and they will give the results immediately.

This is the palace test.

After another incense stick of time, under the cross-examination of several ministers and examiners, the poems and fus have been ranked and handed over to Li Shimin and Wei Zheng for final review.

Ranked first is Li Bai.

Regardless of whether it was Li Shimin or Wei Zheng, when they saw this result, they readily accepted it, and even nodded frequently.

Li Shimin deliberately took out this poem by Li Bai, read it carefully, and finally stamped it with a jade seal, and personally wrote a red letter.

This poem is destined to be passed down through the ages.

When Li Shimin announced the results of his poems and prose, some people were pleasantly surprised and some were worried, but Li Bai remained calm and calm.

He is number one, there is no doubt about it, he has never doubted his ability.

And he also received the admiration of other candidates, but he calmly enjoyed all this, because this is what he should.

Immediately afterwards, there was policy questioning.

Li Shimin personally set the question.

He looked at everyone, his face gradually became serious.

"My Great Tang established the country with force, convinced people with virtue, and governed the country with ability. However, my Great Tang has not really swallowed the world now, because the frontiers are not flat, especially Goguryeo in the east and Turkic and Gaochang countries in the west.

"I pacified the Eastern Turks not long ago, and there are still Western Turks and Gaochang and other countries occupying the throne. Now I have the power to pacify the Eastern Turks, so that they dare not commit crimes again, let alone; however, Goguryeo has always been the confidant of the Tang Dynasty. , how to deal with Goguryeo, which is becoming more and more powerful but refuses to be disciplined, has always been my heart disease. Everyone, do you have a good plan?!"

When the candidates were asked this question, they were immediately stunned.

There were only three or two with calm expressions, and even ecstasy in their hearts.

There are elders in their family who are high-ranking officials, and there is even a distant cousin who is Tang Jian, who was once the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the Tang Dynasty, and is now the Minister of Honglu Temple.

From their ears and eyes, they more or less knew about the relationship between Goguryeo and Datang, as well as Datang's current attitude towards Goguryeo and some ways to deal with it.

At this time, it just comes in handy.

Most of them were still the same as Li Bai, with their eyes darkened.

Although Li Bai's father is also an official, he has no access to this kind of state affairs, and it is even more impossible to explain it to Li Bai.

Li Bai is still young, and his energy is devoted to poetry, calligraphy, and swordsmanship, and he doesn't care about state affairs at all.

For this reason, he was dumbfounded and panicked.

Because, he won't.

Scratch your ears and cheeks, and you won't.

The two sticks of incense passed quickly, and Li Bai finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and write a policy article.

Submit papers with the masses.

The examinees also waited anxiously in the hall, watching the examiners bury their heads in correcting, following their expressions, their moods also changed.

Even Li Bai is no exception.

When the examiners saw a good strategy essay, they couldn't help nodding slightly.However, seeing bad ones or talking nonsense, I couldn't help shaking my head with a look of disappointment.

Swallow

Their mood also changed because of this.

Soon, all the examination papers were marked and corrected, and they were sent to the case of Emperor Li Shimin.

Chapter 94 Qinglian Sword Song Slays the Dragon King

The eyes of all the candidates fell on Li Shimin.

because.

They know that the time to decide life and death has come.

The examiners had assigned scores to the test papers, but it was Li Shimin and Wei Zheng who finally decided the rankings.

In fact, it was Li Shimin's decision, and Wei Zheng gave it as a reference.

Li Shimin looked through one by one and nodded slightly. The first ten test papers were all decent, and he was very satisfied.

After reading it, he was a little surprised, read it again, and finally took a look at Wei Zheng and several examiners.

Wei Zheng understood immediately, he had already talked with the examiners, and now he leaned over to Li Shimin and whispered a few words.

Li Shimin's expression was a little exciting, and then he felt a little regretful. He shook his head and looked at the exam paper again.

Finally, I picked up the ink pen and began to correct it.

After the candidates waited agonizingly, it took about an incense stick of time, and the final results were out.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, and then asked Wei Zheng to announce the final ranking.

Holding a booklet, Wei Zheng said loudly, "The results of the imperial examination have come out. After comprehensive consideration of the ability of poetry and prose and questions, the rankings were finally obtained."

There are a total of [-] Jinshi, and all of them will be officials, but now the palace examination is actually to assign their ranks.

The top ten are the first round of Jinshi. In the future, they will enter the three provinces and six ministries for training, and the others will be sent out to be officials, starting from the small county magistrate.

And among the top ten, there will be the top three, which will be the No. [-], No. [-] and Tanhua, and they will also be the best in the arrangement of officials.

Wei Zheng began to announce the ranking of the palace examination.

Li Bai waited anxiously, but he didn't have a place in the top three.

He was a little anxious, but he also understood a little bit, because Ce Wen was really made up.

but.

He was not included in the top ten, so Li Bai couldn't accept it, and frowned.

However, he didn't dare to interrupt Wei Zheng to read the rankings, and when Wei Zheng finished reading the top 36, Li Bai's name was still missing, which immediately made him unconvinced.

He couldn't help interrupting Wei Zheng, saying: "Wei Xiang, the boy's surname is Li and his name is Bai, and his character is Taibai. Why didn't my name appear on the 36th before the palace examination?!"

Wei Zheng said, "Oh, why do you think there will be yours?"

Li Bai said: "The boy won three yuan in a row, and entered the Taiji Hall with the No. 1 exam. He thinks that no one in the hall can match his poems and prose. His policy questions are slightly inferior, so he shouldn't be unknown in the top 36."

Many candidates were stunned for a moment.

They're also a little weird.

The examiners whispered to each other, shaking their heads and sighing.

Wei Zheng said: "Okay, I will tell you why you are not in the top 36. In fact, not only are you not in the 36th, but you are not in the 72nd, but you are in the No.80 second place!"

Li Bai was angry.

The aura of a master was released from him, which immediately surprised Wei Zheng, the old eunuch Wuji and others.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall, there was a sound of surprise.

seem.

No one expected Li Bai, a ten-year-old boy, to have the aura of a master.

Scary as hell and so talented.

Li Shimin immediately became interested in talents, and even thought about whether to take the list back and rewrite it, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.
