Bing Yu walked over and looked in the direction of Qing Xuan's finger, only to see that among the flower beds, there was a rectangular flower garden of blue and white porcelain that was particularly conspicuous. The pattern on the flower garden www.biquge.info is elegant and pure, like a quiet woman, sitting there quietly, not impetuous, elegant and calm, just waiting for the person who is destined to come here to take her away.

"That's it." Bingyu only glanced at it and fell in love with it. It is as if on a spring afternoon, by the lotus pond with pleasant scenery, I met a beautiful man, and then fell in love at first sight.

"This flower garden costs 500,000 taels, can you buy it?" The flower farmer shifted and asked.

"A bit pricey. Isn't it cheaper? Qing Xuan wanted to ask for a price.

"There are also cheap ones, the one next to it is 300,000 taels. These two pieces are finished products fired in Ru kiln a few days ago, but the one just now is the top grade, and there is a bump at the bottom of the next one, so the quality is not as good as that. ”

"Stone is cheaper......"

The so-called first impression is the most impressive. And people have a habit of thinking that the most expensive is the best. Therefore, in the end, the two of them didn't talk about a penny, but gritted their teeth and paid 500,000 taels of silver to buy the blue and white porcelain flowerbed.

They brought the flower beds home, and for a moment they didn't know where to put them. Moving around, it was decided that it would be better to place it in front of the house - so that when the flowers bloomed, you could stand in front of the window and admire the flowers in the garden.

Qing Xuan poured out the warehouse and found all the seeds from the previous tasks inside. Most of the seeds here are roses and azaleas, but also a few seeds of maple and magnolias. He gave them all to Icejade, and she decided what to plant first.

Because it was getting late and there was no flower soil, the matter of planting flowers could only be put aside.

After a few days, the emperor list was issued, Bingyu won the fifth place, and Qingxuan ranked tenth this time. A week later, the top 10 will take part in the palace exam.

"I'm just a dog of luck." Qing Xuan pounded the table frantically in the study. And for the palace test, he no longer dared to hold out any hope. He knew how many pounds and taels he had, and he even felt that it was better to give up the palace test.

To be embarrassed in front of His Majesty the Emperor, if you don't get it right, it is a crime of deception. Qing Xuan thought.

On the day of the palace test, the weather was fine, and ten people were led into the palace by eunuchs.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Qing Xuan was still making a fuss and refused to come in, and was dragged in by Bing Yusheng. Facing this deep palace, as well as those magnificent palaces in the palace, and the palace guards wearing bright armor and eyes like torches, Qing Xuan was shocked by this majestic momentum.

Bing Yu has lived in the Dragon Palace since she was a child, and she is used to such scenes, so she doesn't have any special feelings.

Taizong Shimin sat on the dragon chair, bronzing brocade dragon pattern satin python robe wrapped around his slightly blessed body, his face was bold and tough, and his eyes were sharp and intelligent. One of his hands was on the dragon chair, his body leaned forward slightly, and the white jade beads hanging from the crown on his head swayed slightly in front of his forehead.

"I heard that there are ten people who will come to participate in the palace examination today, I want to see who this year's new champion will be?" Shimin opened his mouth and said in a slightly muffled voice.

The eunuch understood, shook the dust in his hand, and said loudly: "Xuan ten people go to the palace." The ten lifters had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, and when they heard the announcement inside, they walked into the main hall in order.

The civil and military officials were automatically arranged on both sides, and the middle place was reserved for these ten lifters. It was the first time for the people to enter the palace, and for fear of the emperor's majesty, no one dared to look up casually, but only bowed their heads and bowed.

I heard the people say, "Calm down, and then I stood up." But he still didn't dare to raise his head, and one by one lowered his neck, staring at a certain point on the ground.

"In this year's palace exam, I have a novel idea, that is, I will come up with ten questions, and everyone will rush to answer them, and whoever answers quickly and correctly will get the first place. The following is in order. The people of the world were secretly happy that he could come up with such a novel method of solving the question.

"Huh?" The people (except for Bing Yu and Qing Xuan) looked at each other, and their color was like earth ash. They haven't experienced this kind of novel way of examing, so it's good.

Bing Yu secretly thought, could this majesty also travel through? Otherwise, he could know such advanced exam rules? If this is the case, then His Majesty the Emperor is too smart.

Qing Xuan secretly rejoiced, and said in his heart, isn't this tailor-made for me? Although we haven't been on TV, and we haven't been asked this or that by the host, we have seen others answer questions. If that's the case, I really can't be prepared to get a champion or something.

Suddenly, he shivered, and said in his heart, no, how could His Majesty the Emperor know about this fancy examination method? Mo is not - Mo is not - Mo is not -

He secretly glanced at Bing Yu and saw that Bing Yu was also at a loss for the second monk.

The two maids behind Shimin stood there expressionlessly with fanning fans, rarely even blinking their eyelids, like stone dummies.

"In this way, I will first come up with two difficult questions for everyone." After Shimin finished speaking, Fang Jue made a mistake and hurriedly corrected it: "...... Ah, it's a test for everyone. ”

The ministers couldn't help but want to laugh below, but they didn't dare. I just covered my belly one by one and endured it. People think it's funny, but who has the guts? The so-called companion is like a companion tiger, saying the wrong word, it is a big thing to lose your head. No one wants to joke with their lives.

Shimin flipped through the thin booklet in his hand, then closed the notebook and said, "What is Simu Wuding built for?" ”

As soon as the topic came out, people pondered and pondered, and the civil and military officials next to them were not idle, they thought about the books they had read, which one recorded the affairs of Simu Wu Fangding.

A minute later, a tall, thin man with a slightly sallow face said, "It should be used for sacrifices, right?" ”

"For fish farming." A short man behind him scrambled to reply.

"It was for the son to sacrifice to his mother." Bing Yu and Qing Xuan said almost in unison.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the eyes of all the ministers and Li Shimin all brushed over, and this answer was too accurate.

Shimin nodded and said, "Although you answered a little late, the answer is accurate. The first person said sacrifice, but he didn't say who gave it to whom. What are your names for these two lifters? ”

"Handmaiden Dragon Ice Jade."

"The villain's name is Li Qingxuan."

Bing Yu said a thousand blessings, and Qing Xuan gave a salute.

"Then let me ask the two of you, do you know the origin of this tripod?" Shimin asked with interest.

What is the origin of Ding? Qing Xuan recalled the knowledge he had learned in the history books, and it seemed to say that this Ding was the largest bronze in the world, and he didn't know anything else.

He had no choice but to say truthfully: "It is said that this Ding is the largest bronze in the world, and I don't know the details of it." ”

Bing Yu also nodded.

Shimin smiled and said, "It seems that the two of you only know one but don't know the other." ”

Bing Yu and Qing Xuan felt that their cheeks were slightly hot.

Shimin continued: "Civil and military officials, do you know the origin of this bronze? ”

Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui stood in the ranks of civil officials, and Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao stood in the ranks of military officials. In the ranks of military attachés, there are also Wei Chi Jingde, Changsun Wuji, etc., all of whom were the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty. One by one, they held the wat board in their hands, their expressions were stagnant, and they were silent.

Shimin looked around and said: "This Simu Wu Ding originally appeared in the late Shang Dynasty, which was specially made by the Shang King to worship his mother Wu, and there was an inscription in the belly of the Ding "Simu Wu", so it was named. It weighs 832.84 kg, is 133 cm high, has a mouth length of 110 cm, a width of 78 cm, a foot height of 46 cm, and a wall thickness of 6 cm. It is surrounded by delicate dragon patterns and gluttonous patterns.

In order to sacrifice his mother, the king of Shang specially built such a large bronze vessel, which shows that he is a filial son. The so-called hundred virtues and filial piety are the first, and the "Book of Filial Piety" has: the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also; Standing up and doing the way, making a name for yourself in future generations, in order to show your parents, and the end of filial piety.

He said, 'If you are unjust, then the son must not be unjust to the father, and the prince not to be unto the king.'

It can be seen that the ancients attached great importance to filial piety. ”

"Well, I said a lot of that, it seems a bit off-topic, now let's get down to business. Try two more questions, and then the exam will officially begin. After Shimin finished speaking, he opened the book again.

After a while, he looked up and said, "Who does 'if you don't make a hit, you make a splash'?" ”

"King Chuzhuang." Someone at the bottom answered.

Shimin looked at the man, who was standing behind Qing Xuan, of medium stature, not fat or thin, dignified in appearance, and extraordinary.

"What's your name?" Shimin asked.

"The villain's name is Li Bai—" the man bowed.

Li bai? - Bing Yu and Qing Xuan almost didn't scream, such a big celebrity actually took the exam with them? Ho ho ho, some of them are showing.

The two of them turned around at the same time and secretly glanced at this person, and then stuck out their tongues, this person's aura was too big, and it was really better to see it than to hear it.

"Oh? Are you Li Taibai? Shimin was so shocked that he almost stood up from his seat, "I like your poem very much, can you read one for me in court?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Bai stood up straight and said:

A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date.

Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio.

The moon does not drink, and the shadow disciples follow me.

Temporarily accompanied by the moon will be shadowed, and the joy must be spring.

I sing and wander, and I dance in a mess.

When they wake up, they mingle with each other, and when they get drunk, they disperse.

Eternal knot ruthless travel, phase Miao Yunhan.

"Good poetry, good poetry." Li Shimin applauded with joy, "After the exam, can you come to me and make a few poems for me on the spot?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Bai saluted.

"Okay, now that everyone will answer, let's get started." The people of the world are right.

Half an hour later, the results of the exam came out, and Bingyu won the top prize with her smart brain and quick thinking. Li Bai won second and made an example. The rest of the people are all Tanhua.

After the examination, Li Shimin personally prepared a banquet in the harem to entertain all the new scholars. Hundreds of officials accompany the banquet. That situation is really more lively than getting married.

Qing Xuan thought he was very drunk, but when he met Li Bai, the god of wine, he was willing to bow down, and after a cup change, Qing Xuan was so drunk that he was unconscious.
