Unlike modern times, the ancient examination room was a separate room, and each candidate would be in a room, which was the size of the place where their carp flew over the dragon gate.

The modern examination focuses on the production of different subjects, and the conversion examination time is basically about one hour, while the ancient imperial examination system is two days in an independent examination room.

In the examination room, the candidates were prepared with some dry food, and they did not leave the room for two days, which was definitely a double test of physical and mental strength.

In the majestic Tribute Academy, the examiners who inspected walked in the middle of the corridors of the examination rooms, and a pair of sharp eyes inspected the cheaters.

Li Yun was in room No. 8 in the second row of Tianzihao, and during the examination, he splashed ink and walked the dragon and snake with his pen, and the key to examining the "Ming Sutra" was to memorize it.

Just like our current cloze in the blanks, a passage is excerpted from an ancient book, and the blank sentences are filled in by the candidates.

The Ming Jing is relatively simple compared to the candidates, so there is a saying "Thirty Old Ming Jing" in ancient times, which means that the age of thirty is relatively old to take the Ming Jing subject.

The Ming Jing is a score-guaranteed question, so those who can participate in the imperial examination will basically not give points, and the most important thing is to "ask questions", the so-called questions are like peer test papers.

The test lies in the candidates' comprehension ability, such as governing the country, administrative policies, etc., if they are just stupid talents who don't listen to things outside the window, they are dead readers, and people who read dead books, although they are brilliantly written, but it is difficult to have penetrating insights.

And this is precisely the filter screen for selecting talents.

Li Yun worked hard to write the book, and it took others a full day to fill in the "Ming Jing" canon, while Li Yun only took less than half a day.

He is a human being in two lives, and the literary knowledge in his mind is like a moving encyclopedia, which can be searched for and the answer is the pen.

When he opened the question, Li Yun was stunned at first, but saw five big characters written on the paper: "Why Ping Southwest." ”

Looking at this question, we can see that this is a question from the imperial court, how to solve the problem of hidden dangers in the southwest?

This is a national policy, according to the previous examination questions, most of the questions asked by the imperial examination are the policies discussed by the imperial court, and the policies discussed are basically the policies that the imperial court has a clear method.

This is more advantageous for the princes and nobles, after all, they will understand the decision-making of the imperial court.

However, this year's exam question is "Why Ping Southwest", Li Yun knows that the southwest is a major hidden danger of the Tang Empire, in recent years, the prince Taizong has repeatedly argued the court, and it has been fruitless to find a good strategy.

Even the ministers of the DPRK and China could not come up with a strategy, but it appeared in the examination questions, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty.

Especially Li Chengqian, Lawyer Pei and others, after they saw the topic, they all showed ugly expressions, Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, the court to observe, how did they not know how Li Shimin had discussed this topic many times.

But there is no result.

"Damn, my father's exam question this time turned out to be fruitless, how can this be argued?"

Li Chengqian cursed secretly, if it were other policies, he was generally familiar with one or two, but even the court couldn't think of an answer to this exam question, how could he write it?

Among the many princes, most of them fell into a difficult situation, including Li Yun, who also fell into a long period of contemplation after seeing this question.

You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, in order to manage the imperial court, the southwest region was divided into three regions, namely: Jiannan Road, Qianzhong Road and Lingnan Road, and the governor in charge of these areas was called "Jiedu Envoy".

The festival envoy is generally also a state thorn history, usually by the local Tusi, the Tusi is in charge of one side, the emperor is far away, for the court orders, they love to ignore it, that is, the court can not help them. Over time, the power of the festival swelled, and if it reached a limit, it would be difficult for the imperial court to control it.

Although in the early years of Zhenguan, the power of the festival envoy has not yet shown an inflated state, but Li Shimin is not stupid, as a rare saint in ancient times, he naturally saw the hidden dangers. Facts have proved that Li Shimin's idea is right, and the famous "Anshi Rebellion" in history is the pinnacle of the expansion of power by the festival, which led to the collapse of the Tang Dynasty.

And Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others have also given advice many times, wanting to avoid hidden dangers, but there is no good way after all.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were "jiedu envoys" who disobeyed official positions who tried to rebel, and the imperial court sent troops to suppress them many times, although they were victorious, they were never able to completely eliminate them.

The southwest land, high mountains and mountains, the terrain is complex, not like the plains, a horse and a flat river, and it is thousands of miles away from the eyes. And Li Taibai's sentence: "Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky", which is the best description of the southwest.

Many meritorious children, after seeing the exam questions, their eyes lit up, they had heard of the rebellion in the southwest, and many of their parents went to the southwest to suppress the rebellion.

So the essence of the method that comes to their minds is one word: hit!

Mere Southern Barbarians? If you dare to shout for the Tang Empire, then you will know the power of the Tang Empire, and if you don't obey orders, then you will be beaten until you obey orders.

"No... Is it the Southern Barbarian? Isn't it easy? "Many people secretly say to themselves that this year's exam questions are simple.

Of course, this is also the idea of almost everyone, summed up in four words: if you are not satisfied, you will do it.

Including the crown prince, he couldn't think of any other good way, so he had no choice but to write a question on how to quell the rebellion in the southwest.

Li Chengqian is also worthy of being the crown prince, although the strategy he wrote, although the theme of "fighting", but added a lot of strategic suggestions to it, it can be seen that he, the prince, is not an idle eater, and he has always gained something by Li Shimin's side over the years.

Although it only took Li Yun half a day to complete the first round of exams, it took him another half a day, he did not fall into the popular mind, but pondered for a long time, and the strategy of nowhere to pacify the southwest came to his mind.

But many of the strategies he thought of were all temporary strategies, just like the strategy of "fighting", which may solve temporary difficulties, but it cannot eradicate disasters.

Therefore, if you want to win in this imperial examination and get the first place, this is the fundamental thing.

Time slipped away unconsciously, everyone else was answering, Li Yun was fruitless, and after thinking for a long time, four words suddenly popped out of his mind.

It was these four words that made him shine, and he excitedly patted the case: "I thought of a way." ”

In an instant, Li Yunwen's thoughts were springing, and his pen was like a god, and at this moment, it was as if Ren Du's second pulse had been opened, and the idea of falling from the sky hit his heart.

His wrist shook, and the thick black ink characters jumped on it, and the handsome Chinese characters were like pleasant notes, as if a magnificent symphony was played on the white one.

Others are still taking the initiative to "fight" strategies, many of which are flexibly used in the 36 strategies, such as encircling Wei to save Zhao, golden cicadas shedding their shells, throwing bricks and attracting jade, etc., which are like talking on paper for the talents to come easily.

The next day, when everyone was still in the answer sheet, Li Yun waved his pen and wrote down his pseudonym: "Wang Xiaoer", he quickly got up and shouted loudly: "Submit the paper!" ”

...... Submit the papers?!

The words were shocking.

Such a different voice sounded in the examination room, many people cast surprised eyes, even the examiner was stunned, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites walked to the examination room where Li Yun was, and kindly reminded: "This candidate, there is still half a day before the exam time, are you sure you will not check it again?" ”

Is it too hasty to hand in the triennial imperial examination in such a hurry?

Li Yun disagreed, and said very confidently: "You don't need to check, every word of the advice I wrote is a classic, and there is nothing to change, please seal it." ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites has read countless people, he has seen crazy people, and he has seen such crazy people, and he is definitely the first person who dares to say that he has asked about the classics.

"Young man, don't be too crazy."

"Madness needs capital, obviously I have capital, my lord should seal it as soon as possible, I can wait for the day when the list is unveiled, and I will be ranked first." Li Yun laughed.

Although he was not very happy, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites did so, and he instructed his subordinates: "Seal this person's examination papers." ”

Seeing that after the exam papers were sealed, Li Yun left the examination room without looking back, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites shook his head helplessly, looking at his expression, it was obvious that he didn't like Li Yun.

Of course, Li Yun didn't pay attention to it.

Out of the Tribute Courtyard, Li Yun found a no-man's land, tore off the mask attached to his face, revealed his original appearance, and after changing the clothes he had prepared in advance, he was ready to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a beautiful woman standing at the mouth of the alley, but he saw her clasping her hands around her chest and a sword hanging from her waist.

Without waiting for Li Yun to speak, Tang Zhenzhen said first: "Your Royal Highness the dignified King Yun, this disguise ability is really amazing, even the waiter of the Ministry of Rites didn't recognize you." ”

"You scared me."

The person who came was Tang Zhenzhen, and Li Yun was also relieved, fortunately it was no one else, otherwise the matter of pretending to be Wang Xiaoer would have been exposed, in fact, he had already been exposed, Li Shimin had been sending people to monitor them, and Tang Zhenzhen was the person responsible for monitoring him.

Walking in front of her, Li Yun glanced at the saber on her waist, and said: "Girls don't dance knives and guns all day long, they must learn more piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to be feminine." ”

Tang Zhenzhen glanced at Li Yun, and he followed her when he left, like a little follower.

Li Yun doesn't hate her either, there is a peerless beauty following her, but it is a beautiful scenery on the street.

Li Yun clasped his hands in front of his chest, walked forward by himself, and said as he walked: "You said that one day I lost, will you still follow me?" ”

"What do you lose?" Tang Zhenzhen asked puzzled.

"Lose everything."

"I don't know, but I'm sure you won't lose."

"Why?"

"Because you are Li Yun, a man who can make the impossible possible." Tang Zhenzhen said very seriously.

Li Yun was stunned, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Tang Zhenzhen, and picked him up naked on the street, the sudden situation made Tang Zhenzhen unexpected, and her cheeks turned red.

Li Yun ...... Tell me down......"

Li Yuncai didn't care about the opinions of passers-by, he smiled and said, "Don't forget, you still owe me a date, let's go on a date now." ”

With that, Li Yun hugged the blushing Tang Zhenzhen and ran into the distance.
