Chapter 174: The Theory of the Palace's Trial

"Your Majesty went to the capital camp of Commander Li in the suburbs?" Wang Ji, who was preparing for the examination, frowned, due to the weakness of the emperor during his reign, it had been many years since the emperor had come to the barracks, and now His Majesty's move has any deep meaning? Although the border has not been peaceful recently, it seems that there is no need to make such a big movement by sending a general to expel it, right? Could it be that His Majesty wants to use the power of the nobles to completely overwhelm the family and the Hanmen?

If so, there will be great turmoil in the imperial court, as an outstanding son of the Langya Wang family, Wang Ji is very aware of the huge influence of the family and the Hanmen faction, which is far from the long-declining Xungui family can compete, even if the imperial power is added, there is not much chance of winning, after that, the world is eventful, Wang Ji sighed secretly, and continued to bury himself in the classics to prepare for the upcoming test, if you want to participate in this chess game, you have to have a suitable identity anyway.

In the next few days, Li Gui frequently inspected the large camps around the capital from time to time, but fortunately, Wei Shiliang was ventilated in the palace, Qiu Yuande was outside the command, and the specially selected capable men and horses were here to supplement the army under review; In addition, since Li Gui inspected the Zhenwei camp, his interest in fierce generals has increased a lot, and he always puts the queue review to the second seat everywhere he goes, focusing on the performances of the generals, which makes it easy for them to cope with the past.

The false strength of the Jingying Forbidden Army and the superb martial arts of the generals of the Forbidden Army made Li Gui full of confidence in the upcoming imperial expedition, and he even ordered someone to turn out the sword used by Taizong back then, and created a pair of armor exactly the same as Taizong's body, and looked at the mirror for a long time, feeling more and more that he was a heroic emperor.

The preparatory work for the imperial expedition has slowly begun, the Ministry of Engineering began to continuously transport armor and equipment to the army, the Ministry of Household tried its best to raise food and wages, Yuan Rukui, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Qiu Yuande, the chief lieutenant, argued all day long about the transfer of soldiers, and Yang Jiefu, Jia Cheng and others seemed to have been interrupted by the defeat last year, and no longer expressed their opinions at the expedition ceremony, but shifted their attention to the examination.

Li You may have guessed that he was about to join the army of the Northern Tang Kuo Army, so he cherished his moment in the capital, and if he had time, he would either try to go on a private date with Zhou Nan, or gather and feast with Zheng Liang, Qian Hua and other friends in Beijing; As for the upcoming war, he is not very flustered, after experiencing three wars in the Three Kingdoms, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, he is not very afraid of war, and even... Some also like the feeling of fighting on the battlefield.

This day is a holiday again, he called Zheng Liang, Chen Jinglong and other friends of the country, to cheer for Wang Ji who is about to enter the examination room, he prepared a private room upstairs in Qinghe, and selected a good Yan Yan as a gift from Helan Jinming's seizure, produced in She County, Anhui Province and Taohe Yan in Taozhou, Gansu, Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, Chengni Yan in Jiangzhou, Shanxi Province and called the four famous inkstones, want to come to this gift Wang Ji should like.

"The test is imminent, let's wish Brother Wang the title of the gold list and take the lead today." When everyone arrived, Li You took the lead in raising his wine glass and said.

"Yes, this champion must be in Brother Wang's bag." Zheng Liang also said happily, "By the way, it's best to let Lu Huaishen and Hu Yizhi fall off the list, and then I want to see what their faces are." ”

"Thank you, but the knowledge of Lu Huaishen and Hu Yizhi is also outstanding among the candidates in this issue, I am afraid it will not be easy for them to fall off the list, as for the younger brother, it is enough to be able to get into the second grade." Wang Ji said modestly, these days he has been communicating with scholars from all over the world, in fact, he has regarded himself as the best candidate for the champion, but with Yuan Zhang's matter first, who would dare to say that it is nine out of ten.

The Wang Ji exam is imminent, everyone just got together today, and they dispersed without drinking much, Li You said before parting, "That's all for today, after Brother Shiheng's hairpin Qionglin, I will wait for a drunken rest." ”

A few days later, there were a lot of people outside the Tribute Academy, another year's exam arrived, Wang Ji carried the examination basket into the Tribute Academy, found his own room, took out the Yantai sent by Li You and put it on the table, this inkstone is firm and moist, caress it like a muscle, grinds it with a sharp edge, astringent water to leave a pen, slips and does not refuse ink, the ink is small and easy to dry, and the cleansing is clean, which is deeply loved by him, and he is reluctant to put it at home even when he will try.

This inkstone seems to have brought good luck to Wang Ji, after getting the test questions, his Chinese thoughts are like springs, the pen is like a god, the answer essay is unusually smooth, after a few exams, he is already full of confidence in his high school this time.

On the day when the emperor list was posted, the group came to the restaurant next to the Gongyuan again, and chartered a whole floor to wait for the announcement of the results.

It didn't take long for the person who reported the good news to come upstairs, "Congratulations to Master Wang, the first place in the current examination of Master Wang!" ”

"Haha, Brother Wang is really in high school." Everyone hurriedly congratulated Wang Ji, and there were servants behind him who distributed good news money to these people, Zheng Liang also took out a piece of silver from his arms and was about to throw it out, but just about to make a move, he remembered another thing, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know that Lu Huaishen, the eldest grandson of the Ministry of Shangshu, and Hu Yi, the second son of Hu Songnian's family, the governor of the government?" ”

"Hit, hit, Young Master Lu is the nineteenth in High School, and Young Master Hu is thirty-seven in High School." The annunciator thought that they were Zheng Liang's friends, and said busily.

"Bad luck." Zheng Liang muttered, "I wanted to give you a few more ingots, but now that's all I have." Everyone upstairs burst into laughter.

After the examination, there is the palace examination, because there is a precedent for Yuan Zhang, so once the palace examination of this period is released, it will not be dethroned, so these people who have won the examination have ensured the identity of the Jinshi, except for a few people who are willing to compete for the champion, the other scholars are easy and abnormal when taking the exam.

The volume was quickly sent down, Wang Ji first glanced at the title of the poem, and smiled in an instant, he had done this topic before, and there were exactly two good poems in hand, which were enough to win the favor of His Majesty.

Then looking at the topic of the policy theory, he was stunned for a moment, huh? How could this strategy be tested on the fact that Taizong drove his own expedition and swept Mobei back then? Does Your Majesty want to personally conquer the Tang Kuobu like Taizong?

Wang Ji's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know how to write for a while, and the other scholars were also surprised, and there was a buzz in the hall. (To be continued.) )
