Chapter 1161: The Literary Examination Begins
Li Yi has been away from Beijing for five years, and today's Kyoto has already undergone earth-shaking changes.
This change is not just manifested externally.
Some of the iconic buildings are still there, but more of the streets, he is no longer very familiar with, and above the court, there is also a generation of new people replacing the old.
Qin Huan, the former secretary of the household department, had resigned due to illness three years ago, and Zeng Shichun took his place.
The household department is busy with official affairs and cannot be distracted, and after becoming the secretary of the household department, Zeng Shichun naturally cannot concurrently serve as Jing Zhaoyin.
The capital made Liu Dayou's daughter-in-law for many years become a mother-in-law, and with a keen political sense, she got her wish and sat in the position of Jing Zhaoyin.
In addition, the secretary of the criminal department also resigned due to illness, and Liu Yishou, the former servant of the criminal department, temporarily replaced the position of the secretary, and this generation is a full two years.
His second uncle, Li Mingze, did not sit in the position of the secretary of the ministry, but he was transferred to the center of the three provinces.
Those veterans in the court, in the first year of the death of the first emperor, have also resigned one after another, and in the past five years, through the military academy, a lot of young generals have been trained for Jingguo.
Li Yi has received these news one after another over the years, and what he is looking at now is the collation of intelligence over the years.
Li Duan walked out of it and walked to his side, suddenly smelling a familiar fragrance.
He sniffed and said, "Dad, I want to eat egg fried rice." β
Li Yi put down what he was doing, stood up, and walked towards the kitchen.
Li Duan happily followed behind and said, "Dad, can I let Xiaorui taste Dad's cooking in the future?" β
Six-year-old Li Duan already knows how to read, and he has exchanged letters with Xiaorui in the past two years, of course, many times he says that Li Yi writes.
The content of the letter is very naΓ―ve, probably how much taller he has grown, and he can jump from the ground to the top of the wall, etc., and he agreed to show her when he sees him in the future......
Li Yi took out the steamed rice and asked casually, "Duan'er, do you want Xiaorui to be your daughter-in-law in the future?" β
"Yes!" Li Duan nodded violently and said, "We have all made an appointment, and when we all grow up in the future, I will marry her, so that we can always play together." β
"That's ......" Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Then why don't you make your own egg fried rice for Xiaorui to eat, if Xiaorui likes to eat the food you cook, she will often come to you......
Li Duan's face showed a thoughtful look, as if he was considering.
He thought for a while, walked up to Li Yi, and said, "Dad, you teach me to cook!" β
Li Yi handed him an egg and said, "Beat this egg first......
If you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first grab a woman's stomach, which is a truth that Li Yi wants to teach Li Duan.
The men of the Li family can't do anything else, but they can't cook.
Mingzhu eats his egg fried rice, and he can't eat what others have made, and he can't live without him in this life, and this is the best example.
When Li Xuan asked Li Duan and Xiaorui to get married, he didn't agree, but the two children grew up together, and if they really liked each other, he wouldn't stop them.
If Li Xuan makes a similar request in the future, he can consider agreeing first, after all, Li Xuan is very experienced in giving birth to daughters, and has given birth to three daughters in succession so far......
In the fourth year of Jingping, the fifth day of the first month of November.
Today is the first day for Princess Shouning to choose a horse.
Li Yi was wearing the mask that Xu Zheng had prepared for him, and when he walked out of the mansion, he saw the two of them walking in from outside.
The seventeen-year-old Dragon Boat Festival has become slim, and it is no longer the Chai He girl he was when he first met.
Li Han is not as fat as before, Li Xuan's genes are very good, among the princes and princesses, there is no ugly, seventeen-year-old Li Han, the childishness on his body has long faded, and he is a beautiful young man.
It's just that the beautiful boy is in a hurry at the moment, and while chasing the girl in front, he explained: "Dragon Boat Festival, you believe me, I really have nothing to do with the sister of the Wang family, she, she just treats me as a brother......"
"Does she treat you as a brother or something else, what does it have to do with me......" Dragon Boat Festival glanced at him, walked into the house, and saw Li Yi coming out of it, with a happy look on his little face, he hurriedly walked over, halfway through, and stopped his steps again.
Only then did she remember that she couldn't tell anyone the news of her brother's return.
Li Yi rubbed her head, only to realize that the current girl was no longer the little girl she used to be, and as soon as she let go of her hand, a voice reached his ears.
Li Han stood in front of the Dragon Boat Festival, looked at Li Yi, and said vigilantly: "Who are you?" β
Dragon Boat came out from behind him and said dissatisfiedly: "Li Han, what are you doing!" β
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Do you like my sister?" β
Dragon Boat Festival blushed, twisted his hands together, and whispered: "Brother......"
Li Han was stunned and asked, "Are you the elder brother of the Dragon Boat Festival?" β
Li Yi nodded and said, "Although you are the King of Jin, if you want to pursue my sister, you still have to pass me first." β
Although Li Han didn't know where such an elder brother came out of the Dragon Boat Festival, at this time, of course, he couldn't weaken his momentum, puffed up his chest, and asked, "What's the pass?" β
"I've recently had an arithmetic problem, and if you can solve it, I'll agree with you to pursue my sister."
Li Han almost laughed out loud in his heart, it seems that this brother of the Dragon Boat Festival still doesn't know that he is the dean of the School of Mathematics, if he wants to talk about arithmetic, the whole Kyoto, the whole Jingguo, the whole world, who is he afraid of?
He was afraid of a person, but that person was not in Kyoto, he was not there, and arithmetic was his Li Han's world.
He looked at Li Yi and said with a smile: "What kind of problem, you can say it." β
"It's very simple, you just have to prove to me that any even number greater than two can be written as the sum of two prime numbers." Li Yi looked at him and said, "I still have some things, when will this question be proven, come here to find me again." β
After Li Yi finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, and if he delayed for a while, he would miss the first literary exam.
There were a large number of participants in this examination, and more than 100 were arranged in the examination room alone, involving more than 10 seowon in Kyoto.
Coincidentally, Li Yi's examination room happened to be in Shouning Academy.
This is the academy he gave to Shouning back then.
He entered the academy, took out his sign, found the classroom, and walked in.
This exam has not yet begun, and there are about forty or fifty people in one examination room, all of whom are sitting at their desks, not squinting, waiting for the exam to begin.
"Brother Tai, do you want the latest version of the Question Secret Paper?" Not long after Li Yi sat down, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a fat man.
When the fat man saw him, he exclaimed, "It's you! β
Li Yi has a deep memory of this fat man, because when he first arrived in Kyoto, he had not yet entered the city gate, and he peddled a set of "leaking questions" secret scrolls.
The fat man remembered him even more.
The person in front of him was the only one who bought a secret scroll from him that sold for ten taels of silver for five cents.
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "What's the matter, there is a new secret book of the question?" β
This fat man is also a talent, and he can actually get into the examination room and sell fake test papers to candidates------ he finds that it seems that the fat man he knows is very good at business.
Li Yi looked at him and said, "The old rule, a fixed price, five cents." β
The fat man glanced at him, silently walked up to a candidate in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Tai, the latest version of the secret paper of the question is sold cheaply for ten taels of silver, do you want it?" β
The man turned his head to look at him and wondered, "Is there really a secret paper, is it really fake?" β
This fat man obviously has a flexible tongue, his eloquence is excellent, his tongue blooms lotus, he turned around in the examination room, his bulging belly actually decreased a few points, he walked up to Li Yi again, pulled out a test paper from his stomach, and said: "The last one, five wen is five wen!" β
Li Yi touched the cuffs on his waist, looked at him, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't have any money on me......"
The fat man sat down next to Li Yi angrily and didn't speak anymore.
It's just five cents, I still want to take it for nothing, I've seen a black heart, but I've never seen a black heart more than myself!
As soon as he sat down in his position, an examiner walked in from outside, glanced down, and said solemnly: "Everything that has nothing to do with the exam is put in front, if it is found during the exam, it will be treated as cheating and disqualified from the exam......"
Li Yi watched as those people put the test papers they had just bought on in frustration, and a few more people walked down to check them carefully, before the examiner cleared his throat and announced, "The literary exam starts now!" β
