Chapter 188: Anecdote in the Palace

Wang Bo high school topped the list, which made those gamblers who pressed Wang Bo High School happy, of course, those who bought Li Boran's bet were even more ecstatic at this moment, because he bought Li Boran only because he had a relationship with Wang Da Hammer, so he bought some of them because he had dates and no dates, but he didn't expect that now he is also the first in high school, and he naturally made a profit.

The medical competition has just ended, and now it is the imperial examination again, and the entire Chang'an City is full of discussions and celebrations.

……

Tai Chi Palace.

Today is an auspicious day for the release of the Gongyuan list.

Li Shimin is also looking forward to it in the palace.

Because in line with the principle of fairness, justice and strictness, before the list was released, the door of the Gongyuan had been closed, and it was forbidden to enter and exit, and the list was also posted directly from the Gongyuan, so even Li Shimin in the palace had to send someone to the Gongyuan to see the list, and no one wanted to get any inside information in advance.

The ceremony of selecting talents is the top priority of the imperial court, and as the ruler Li Shimin is naturally extremely concerned. To put it bluntly, these high school candidates will be their subordinates in the future, and they will contribute to Li Tang, whether there are available talents in the imperial court in the next ten or twenty years, but it basically depends on the scientific examination, Li Shimin naturally understands the truth that talents are valuable, so he sent someone to see the list early in the morning. For this reason, he himself deliberately dressed more formally, and sat in the warm pavilion to wait for news.

Looking at the concerts from all the states and counties in the world in front of him, Emperor Taizong, who is diligent in government and loves the people on weekdays, can't see it today, can't wait for news, and has no intention of acting as a concerto.

After all, compared to these performances from various states and counties, this year's scientific expedition is the top priority.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wang Qi and others were also present.

If you want to say which of them is the most anxious, it is, of course, Wang Jue, who has a nephew to participate in this scientific examination, whether his nephew can go to high school or not, this is related to whether the Wang family has a successor, so even if he is over half a hundred years old, he is still a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Guo Ren, why hasn't this list been sent yet?" Li Shimin and the others were anxious, and asked over and over again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the person who watched the list was sent early in the morning, and the slave had already told him that as soon as the list came out, he would immediately copy it to His Majesty. Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, wait a little longer. Guo Rendao.

Because they were all worried about the list, everyone was not in the mood to review the recitals and deal with political affairs, so they chatted with each other to pass the time.

Li Shimin said casually: "With this guy Wei Zheng as the chief examiner, I am still relieved, he will definitely live up to my expectations and screen out those with real talents for me." ”

"What Your Majesty said is that Lord Wei Zheng is selfless and eloquent, and he will definitely select the best students."

"But Lord Wei Zheng is too strict, I'm afraid that the number of students who will fail this year will increase."

"Yes, with Lord Wei Zheng's temper, if he is not satisfied, then there is really no room at all."

Li Shimin started to speak, and everyone talked about Wei Zheng as soon as you said a word.

After a while, the person who reported the list still did not come back. Li Shimin was a little impatient and said to Guo Ren: "Let's ask again, whether this list has come out, let people send it over urgently." ”

Guo Ren had no choice but to go out and wait at the door.

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "Your Majesty, why worry, what should come will always come, what does it matter if it is late or early?" ”

"Haha, it's still Lord Du's heart is as calm as water, I am indeed a little anxious today." Li Shimin laughed at himself with some embarrassment.

Wang Qi couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart, Du Ruhui, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending? Have you forgotten when your son took the expedition a few years ago? At this moment, he was as anxious as Li Shimin, and wanted to know his nephew's achievements earlier, after all, it was related to whether the ancestral foundation of the Wang family could be evergreen.

After another moment, Guo Ren finally walked in hurriedly with a little eunuch, the little eunuch estimated that he had run all the way, so he was out of breath, Guo Ren hurriedly said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the list is here!" ”

As soon as I heard that the list was coming, the few people sitting in the warm pavilion were in high spirits, no matter how calm they were on the surface, they were actually looking forward to it in their hearts!

Li Shimin had a smile on his face, and hurriedly said, "Quick, hurry up and present it to me." ”

When Guo Ren heard this, he hurriedly presented the list brought back by the little eunuch to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took it, quickly opened it and took a look, and at first glance, he saw Wang Bo, the top leader, followed by Li Boran, and then He Qiang......

Several other people were also anxious to know the result, Li Shimin saw a few people stretching their necks, with a curious face, and said with a smile: "Come, everyone come around and take a look with me, you are in a hurry." ”

Fang Xuanling and several people smiled when they heard this, especially Wang Jue, who quickly got up and said thank you to Your Majesty, and came to Li Shimin's side.

When Wang Qi saw that his nephew Wang Bo had won the top spot, he immediately burst into tears with excitement, "The family is lucky, the family is lucky, it is not in vain that the old man has worked hard to cultivate him for so many years." ”

"Congratulations to Lord Wang, my nephew really has real talent and learning, and he won the top spot in one fell swoop."

"Congratulations"

“……”

When several people saw that the first one was Wang Jue's nephew, they hurriedly congratulated Wang Jue.

"I also want to congratulate Lord Wang, it seems that my nephew will definitely be able to serve the Tang Dynasty like Lord Wang in the future." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Qi said excitedly.

"I didn't expect that Li Boran, the uncle of the prince's family, was also in high school, ranking second only to Wang Bo, the nephew of Lord Wang. It seems that the prince is really a man of great luck, and his relatives have also been stained. Fang Xuanling joked.

"This Li Boran can be selected as the second place by Wei Zheng, and his strength is definitely not as good as vulgar, how can he be said to be stained with the light of the prince?" Li Shimin said.

"A total of 381 people have been admitted this year, nearly 50 more than last time, so it seems that my Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and there are more and more outstanding talents. Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty! Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Several other people also immediately saluted and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and the Tang Dynasty is full of talents. ”

"Haha...... Datang can have today, it is because of the hard work of all Aiqing and me, how can it all be attributed to me alone? Everyone should celebrate together. Li Shimin said happily.

"I'm going to try it out in person in two days to see if they really have real talent and learning, and if they can take charge of the future of my Datang." Li Shimin was happy and decided to interview Wang Bo and others in person.

In the Tang Dynasty, the palace test was not customized, and whether it was interviewed and inspected by the emperor himself depended on the mood. Therefore, the palace examination can also be regarded as a kind of reward from the emperor to the candidates.
