Palace.

Li Zhi sat quietly on the dragon chair, looked at the sky outside, and said, "Has the imperial examination started?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, not yet, but soon."

A eunuch walked up and saluted very respectfully, Li Zhi nodded and continued: "Did you bring that test paper over?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, your subordinates have ordered someone to escort you over, there will be no accidents, Your Majesty rest assured."

The eunuch took the lead in speaking confidently, in the middle of the world, at the foot of the high gate of the Son of Heaven, who dares to snatch His Majesty's things, isn't that looking for death? It's not that he's confident, it's that no one dares to move.

"Yes." Li Zhi nodded silently, his voice was very small, his eyes were motionless and looking outside, today's palace was much quieter, without Li Lingyue's naughtiness, Li Dan's mischief, Li Zhe's nonsense, Li Hong's quietness, Li Xian's elegance, he was the only one sitting here, and there was a useless eunuch standing beside him, and suddenly, he found that he was a little lonely.

Alone, that's probably it.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, Son of Heaven, Your Majesty, it's not that you want to be lonely and lonely.

Is it destined to be lonely?

The eunuch was stunned, not daring to move, let alone say anything, sensing His Majesty's silence and sorrow, he knew that he should not be disturbed at this moment, all he had to do was to stand there and pretend not to see anything.

Li Zhi was silent for a while, and said slowly: "What do you say will happen to the imperial examination this time?" ”

The worry is already obvious, the first imperial examination, no one knows, what the effect is, it is inevitable that there is some worry, the eunuch hurriedly flattered: "It will definitely be good, Your Majesty." ”

Li Zhi's expression remained unchanged, he didn't seem to hear this, the eunuch was shocked in his heart, His Majesty doesn't like to listen to this kind of words, he has been by Li Zhi's side for so many years, what Li Zhi thinks, he knows it clearly, and suddenly changed his words: "Your Majesty, there is Lord Zhang watching over there in the imperial examination, it will be fine, as for talents, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, my Tang Dynasty is full of talents, and there will always be a few capable people in tens of thousands of people." ”

"Moreover, there are His Majesty's test papers, it is difficult for those people to cheat, when the time comes, as long as His Majesty personally urges and revises the test papers, whether it is good or bad, it is not the meaning of His Majesty's words, if His Majesty is not at ease, you can select the top ten candidates to come to the palace for questioning, so that Your Majesty will not know who can do it and who can't do it."

The eunuch said the words in his heart one by one, while still paying attention to Li Zhi's expression, he was very worried, it couldn't be that I said something wrong, right? If Your Majesty doesn't like it, then shouldn't I?

"Your Majesty spares your life, the old slave is at fault."

"Bang bang."

The eunuch's head kept hitting the ground, heavier and heavier, and the ground made a thumping sound, which was very loud in the silent palace, Li Zhi turned his head and said lightly: "Get up, you didn't say anything wrong." ”

You didn't say anything wrong?

One sentence represents everything, the eunuch still didn't dare to get up, but he stopped kowtowing, looked up at Li Zhi, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the old slave ......." ”

"You don't need to say it, I know, you give me a good look at this imperial examination, all the test papers, and the list of those candidates, especially the top ten candidates, be sure to present them to me, and I will ask questions in front of the palace."

Li Zhou's words, the eunuch was immediately overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

…………

In the imperial examination room, Zhang Daan got the examination paper, there were not many words on it, only a few scattered words, "Guotai and the people are safe, internal and external troubles." A few words that are particularly obvious, it seems very obvious, there is no way, there are only a few words, where do you not look here?

As for the other test questions, they remain the same, whether they are like that or that, Zhang Da'an saw this, and had an urge to scold his mother, why were you so energetic when you scolded me at that time, didn't you say that my test questions were not good? Why don't you change it? Are you kidding me?

Nearest the king nearest the gallows.

Zhang Da'an once again appreciated Li Zhi's imperial mental technique, uh, it should be a child's psychology, you are not satisfied with what I do, let you do it, but you are constantly shirking, and finally come to an exact same test question, just change so many words, are you embarrassed to say this kind of thing?

There's no way, whoever makes the family is Your Majesty, you are a courtier.

With a wave of his hand, let the left and right announce the test question, the test question began to announce, some people are happy, some people are naturally sad, and the happy people are written intact, not a word has changed, and even the handwriting has to be copied, and the tragic people are very tragic, they look at the test papers, and they have a feeling of being pitted.

Unchanged, yes, unchanged, however, changed a little, so a few words, just a few words, the meaning has completely changed, it has become different, people who read well can't help but twitch, you say can you not be so tricky.

"Shhh

Writing is very fast, sad people have sad stories, happy people have happy things, who knows who is a tragic person or a happy person, in short, it is a typical tragedy.

The handwriting was written very quickly, after Yang Jiong got his hands, there were many more words on the blank paper, only for a period of time, he began to go crazy, this kind of speed, is beyond the reach of ordinary people, the scholars in the several examination rooms around him, except for those who know some so-called "answers" in advance, saw the first few words, thought they were exactly the same, and Zhang Da'an was confused.

The pen is like a god!

But God doesn't know if it's God.

Yang Jiong doesn't care about them, he is familiar with Confucian classics, Ming Jing, Tao Te Ching, or other unfamous classics, he dabbles in them, and those test questions want to stump him, it is obviously impossible.

"Hey, I hope those people don't get fooled, otherwise it will be a tragedy."

While writing, he muttered, he Yang Jiong had also seen the test paper, and there were answers, but those answers were very different from the current paper, and he didn't know whether to make a tragedy for those classmates and friends, and hoped that they would not write it down.

Compared with these people who write like gods, those who are slow-handed, looking at this topic, keep scolding their mothers, are there any questions like you? What other chickens and rabbits have appeared in the same cage, I damn it, do you think this is arithmetic? What a strange question.

Today there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, there are thirty-five heads on the top, and there are ninety-four feet under it.

Up and down? Who will go to see them, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me? The ghost knows the answer, and when he sees this question, there are many people who surrender, and they can no longer believe in this world.

Ben Gongzi read the Ming Jing, Jinshi, who let you learn by arithmetic, just such a question, the tragedy of many people, and the person who wrote this question, not who is really our Zhang Da'an Zhang, is sitting on the top seat at the moment, opening the test paper, reading it again, he has nothing to do, he has to stay here for three days, take care of the scene.

There can be no turmoil, for those who dare to offend the rules, he will not let go, no matter which adult's son you are in the court, disciples, don't give face, he is not blown, when the court can really be higher than him There are only a few people, and those few people, it seems that there are no sons, disciples come to reference.

The rest of those people, if they want to knock him down, it is obviously impossible, he quietly picked up the test paper, looked at it for the first time, it was very familiar, there was nothing wrong, and when he looked at it again, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Huh?"

Shaking his head, he looked closer again, narrowed the distance, the test questions on the test paper were complete, neatly appeared in his eyes, there was no change in the front, in the middle, and even in the end, he changed so many words, and suddenly, I found that with such a change, the meaning changed completely, became different, and correspondingly, the answer also changed.

"I'm going, playing so big?"

The little complaint in my heart suddenly turned into a strong worry, Your Majesty, this is to exterminate all the cheaters, if you do this, those ministers will know, I don't know if they will complain about you.

"I wonder how the adults will feel when they see their son's results. I'm really looking forward to it. ”

If nothing happens, he Zhang Da'an will not be happy, anyway, this time he warned his disciples, son, they can't be confused by the test papers in front of them, they shouldn't be so stupid, right?

"Your Majesty, I can't see that you are still so naughty?"

Zhang Da'an read this sentence, and the other adults also fell silent, staying at home bored and drinking tea, with a happy face, obviously not worried about the imperial examination at all, and the victory was in hand.

Pei Yan's wife sat next to Pei Yan, quiet as water, gentle and quiet, I couldn't see that Pei Yan still had such a beautiful wife, the two had completely different personalities, but they were so harmonious.

"Xianggong, do you think there will be anything unusual about the imperial examination this time? I'm afraid ......? ”

The worry in her eyes betrayed her, and her mother was worried, she couldn't bear it anymore during a imperial examination, she couldn't eat well, she couldn't sleep well, for fear that her son would be wronged, Pei Yan took her hand and comforted: "Madam, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

"Don't we all have the answers? They'll be fine. ”

"I hope so."

…………

On the other side, Yan Li's mansion looked at the woman walking around in front of him, and couldn't help frowning: "Madam, can you not go, I am upset when I go." ”

The woman stopped and said worriedly, "What are you bothered about, are you bothered by me?" ”

"Hehe, yes, Madame is the most annoying."

"What are you talking about? Look down on me, don't you? Annoying me, huh? You dead ghost, why did I fall in love with you in the first place? I think at the beginning, the old king next door was infatuated with me and hanged, I didn't look at it, I fell in love with you, the enemy, and now, you dislike me, you ...... I...... Whining. ”

Saying that, hiding his face and crying, Yan Liben hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Madam, I didn't mean that, or ......." ”

"Woo."

"Ma'am, I ......."

"Woo."
