Chang'an City.

The teahouse on the street, the teaching workshop on the roadside, almost every street and alley is praising Li Yun's poems, he wrote poems on the spot in the Liangyi Palace, and was printed and distributed into a poetry collection by the court, and for a time it became a hot book on the market, and even a book was hard to find.

Up to the temple hall, down to the market and wilderness, but all those who read the book will recite this collection of poems repeatedly, and every time you taste it, you will find that the artistic conception of Li Yun's poems is deep and has a long aftertaste.

There is a strong lovesickness, there are soldiers on the battlefield, and they are also bold and free, in short, the style is very different, which makes the reader astonished.

For this reason, Li Yun is called the "God of Poetry" by contemporary literati.

It can be said that Li Yun has become a hot figure now, and no one dares to say that he is a waste, he is a well-deserved poet.

The outside world is rumoring, and Li Yun is hiding in the mansion to steal half a day.

During this time, Lin Qingzhu almost lived in the palace, studying according to the curriculum formulated by Li Yun every day, and I have to say that Li Yun's method was effective.

Since he killed the eldest grandson, Li Yun has rarely haunted Guozijian, and for him, it seems harmless to go or not, after all, with his literary achievements, he is afraid that even the teachers of Guozijian will bow down.

And the most puzzling thing is that with Li Yun's literary brilliance, he can be proud of the Tianzi class, but he chose the yellow character class, which is really incomprehensible.

However, for genius students, Shang Xingzhou is always full of understanding, he doesn't want to study in the Tianzi class, so he will go, whether he comes to school or not, whatever he wants, who made Li Yun a genius.

With a flick of his fingers, time slipped through his fingers like a white horse.

The triennial imperial examination has also officially kicked off.

Candidates from all over the world have come to gather in Chang'an City, the imperial examination is an opportunity for students from all over the world to leap into the dragon gate, and they will have to wait for three years after missing it, although there are only a few dozen people who are finally admitted to the list, but they are for the rare places, and they must pass the first Dengke at all costs.

No, the imperial examination is scheduled for three days later, but the inns in Chang'an are almost full, and the crowds of people are more than ten times more than usual, and the scholars who can't find the inn have to live in the stable.

And on the street, the figures of the scholars are obviously more numerous.

……

Because Li Shimin said that he wants to make his princes compare with the scholars in the world, who is more powerful? As the first imperial examination in the Zhenguan era, all the adult princes under his knees participated in under pseudonyms.

It is not allowed to reveal the identities of the princes, on the day of the exam, they are ordinary people, not high-ranking princes.

For the children of the nobility in Chang'an, they are already lucky, such as the children of ordinary families, they need to participate in the township examination, the examination and other layers of selection to be eligible to come to Chang'an to participate in the final examination, each layer of the selection is a wave of gold, so the people who come to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination are basically local scholars.

The children of the aristocracy saved these cumbersome procedures and directly participated in the Beijing imperial examination, which can be said to be much luckier.

No, in an inn called "Jidi", the literati even played the games that the literati liked in the lobby, and wrote poems on the couplets.

"Brother Wang, I have a coincidence here, please answer correctly!"

The speaker was an elegant young student, who was holding a folding fan and pacing left and right in the lobby, seemingly indifferent.

"Brother Bai, please speak."

"Ten thoughts in the mouth, thinking about his wife, thinking about his son, thinking about his parents."

This is a ligature, the first three words together is the word "thinking", although it is not absolute, but it is also a pair of excellent couplets.

But seeing that in the lobby of the first inn, many scholars couldn't answer for a while, this man named Bai Yifei was quite proud, he was a master of pairs among everyone

After thinking about it for a long time, everyone shook their heads and sighed: "I can't answer, it's absolute, Brother Bai's ability to couplet is really impressive." ”

"It's nothing, it's just an occasional inspiration, it's just this pair, what is it."

"Brother Bai, don't be modest, you are the strongest of us in terms of couplets, if this is nothing, let me wait for how embarrassed."

Bai Yifei laughed, and no one likes to hear praise and praise.

Someone else said: "Brother Bai's couplet ability, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Cloud King of Chang'an City can be compared with it." ”

At the beginning, Li Yundou wrote hundreds of poems, and his literary brilliance amazed people all over the world.

However, when the person named Bai Yifei heard that someone was comparing himself to King Yun, a trace of condensation flashed in his eyebrows, but he covered it up well.

Bai Yifei, a person from Liangzhou, has been smart since he was a child, and now he came to Chang'an City with the first place in the local area, he has been the first since he was a child, and he doesn't like to compare with others, in his opinion, the world is only the pride of the sky, and no one can compare with himself.

What is the king of clouds and water, but in front of him.

Even Li Gong's poetry collection, which is regarded as a god by the people of the world, is disdainful because he is too lazy to read it, thinking that no one can write better than himself, and other people's things are not worthy of reading by himself, let alone learning from them.

However, at this moment, a person walked in from the Inn, and he said casually: "Such a worthless couplet, dare to say that it is on a par with the King of Clouds, it is ridiculous." ”

The sudden strange sound immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned over.

When Bai Yifei heard this, the expression on his face disappeared even more, he stepped forward and asked, "This brother, what did you just say?" ”

The man took a sip of tea and replied indifferently: "The Shanglian just now is nothing more than that, but you are saying that it is absolute, which is really exaggerated, and it is even more vain to compare it with King Yun!" ”

Bai Yifei couldn't listen to other people's ugly words, but now this person said this, which made him a little angry, but he should be calm in front of people: "This brother, I don't know what you have to say about my Shanglian?" ”

"It's not good, it's just that I can't get used to your sycophants." The man took another sip of tea, then walked to the central position, and said, "Just now, your Shanglian is a mouth and ten thoughts, thinking about your wife, thinking about your son, thinking about your parents, yes or no?" ”

"Yes, yes."

"Then my next link is: Thank you for your words, thank God for the king."

As soon as this next link came out, the scene was shocked by the sound of applause, and the battle was neat, which can be described as wonderful.

The man looked at Bai Yifei and showed a smile: "Brother Ren, how am I right?" ”

Bai Yifei gritted his teeth secretly, although he didn't want to admit it, but it was indeed wonderful, this was the Shanglian that he had thought about for a long time, and its purpose was to show off, but he didn't expect to be beaten out so quickly.

"Hehe, wonderful, dare to ask what this brother is called?" Bai Yifei said.

"Contemptible people are not talented, surnamed Lin, and the word is Qingzhu."

After finishing speaking, Lin Qingzhu, who was dressed as a man, left in a chic manner, and before leaving, she said softly in Bai Yifei's ear: "It's better to be modest, there is a sky outside the sky, but I don't know that I am the toad who sits in the well and peeps into the sky." ”

Lin Qingzhu only left him with a back, and disappeared into the crowd.

After the people left, the innkeeper chased him out: "Tea money, tea money hasn't been followed yet." ”

Lin Qingzhu drank two bowls of "Overlord Tea", and in desperation, the boss had to ask Bai Yifei for money, who let them have an intersection just now.

Coming out of the first inn, Lin Qingzhu walked out of the alley and said with a smile: "Childe, how did I behave just now?" ”

Li Yun was holding a string of sugar gourds in his hand, and when he saw Lin Qingzhu coming over, he stuffed the sugar gourd into her mouth, and said with a smile: "Good performance, reward for you." ”

The sugar gourd is sweet and sour, Lin Qingzhu also has a unique taste, since learning from Li Yun, the poor girl Lin Qingzhu in the past no longer exists, and now Lin Qingzhu is even more beautiful, after wearing men's clothes, it looks more free and natural.

Li Yun walked in front of him, and Lin Qingzhu followed behind, more like his little follower.

The two shuttled through the alleys, asking as they walked, "How are you inquiring?" ”

"Xu Song of Huizhou; Luo Bin King of Yiwu; Han Feng in Luoyang; Wang Yan of Langya; Bai Yifei of Liangzhou is a strong contender for the imperial examination. Lin Qingzhu said.

It turned out that these days, Li Yun sent Lin Qingzhu to inquire about the news, and basically figured out the details of the competitors in this exam.

Among them, Luo Bingwang and Xu Song are strong contenders, and this big test should not be careless. As for Han Feng, Wang Yan and Bai Yifei, the level of the three is comparable, or they are not worried. Lin Qingzhu added.

"King Luo Bing? Xu Song? ”

Li Yun put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky in the distance, and said in his mouth: "It seems that it will be difficult to win the champion in this year's imperial examination." ”

King Luo Bin is self-evident, he is the fourth master of the early Tang Dynasty. And this Xu Song from Huizhou made Li Yun not expect to have such a number one person.

"Oh yes, I've memorized all the books I asked you to memorize?" Li Yun asked.

"I'm already familiar with it, and I'm reciting it like a stream."

"Very good, as long as you do what I say, your name will definitely be on the list this year." Li Yun said.

Although Lin Qingzhu still had some doubts in his heart, Li Yun's words still had some credibility, after all, his writing had already explained everything.

As soon as the two of them returned to the house, they heard the galloping fast horse, Qin Huaidao hurriedly came, and when he saw Li Yun, he knelt on his knees, which surprised Li Yun.

"Archon, why is that?"

"His Royal Highness saved his father's life that day, and the last general has never thanked him in person, and today's kneeling is the sincerity of the last general, and I ask Your Highness not to refuse."

Then, Qin Huaidao kowtowed several times before he was willing to get up.

The two of them didn't gossip either, and went straight to the point, Li Yun asked, "The Great Commander is galloping here, but he is here for the martial arts exam?" ”

"Your Highness is like a god, and the last general is here for this matter."

"Tell me?"

"The martial arts examination is scheduled for the day after the imperial examination, and the venue is at the Imperial City Training Ground."

Li Yun nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew, and he secretly said to Qin Huaidao: "Grand Commander, regarding the matter of this king's going to participate in the martial arts examination, please also ask the Grand Commander to help me keep it secret." ”

"Why is that?"

"Because this king wants to win with his true skills."

Qin Huaidao agreed very appreciatively, without the help of background, with real skills, such a man is a real man.

......

Three days passed in a flash, and the imperial examination was coming.
