In the afterglow of dusk, fourteen scholars from all over Wuyue stood up at the same time, and said solemnly to Li Xuan, who walked into the courtyard: "I have seen the king." ”

Li Xuan, dressed in a cyan placketed robe, walked past the center of the fourteen Wu Yue scholars, and then walked to the main seat of the eaves in the courtyard.

Li Xuan glanced at Li Bi and Yu Ze who were standing in the shadow of the doorway, nodded slightly, and then looked at everyone in the courtyard.

These fourteen Wu Yue scholars will all participate in tomorrow's scientific examination, but it is difficult to say how many people can be tested.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Everyone, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" The scholars bowed their hands to Li Xuan again, and then sat down.

Li Xuan raised his head, and his gentle gaze swept over everyone present.

Each of them was dressed in thick clothes, and although the temperature in the courtyard was a little low, the atmosphere in the courtyard was very relaxed due to the warm stove and the hot food and warm wine on the table.

"It's actually quite cold, isn't it?" Li Xuan suddenly spoke, and everyone present was slightly stunned, not understanding what Li Xuan meant.

Li Xuan smiled faintly, looked at everyone, and said calmly: "The reason why today's banquet is in the cold courtyard is because when you arrive at the examination room, although the examination shed is sheltered from the wind and rain, the environment is not much better, so you still have some psychological preparations in advance, and you should adapt to it tonight." ”

Everyone present suddenly stood up, and at the same time stood up and bowed to Li Xuan: "Thank you for your good intentions, we will definitely be on the emperor's list to repay the prince's kindness." ”

"Forget about the reward or something, for this king, if there are three or five of you who can pass the Jinshi, it will be a blessing for this king, and it is also a blessing for the Wuhang families." Li Xuan waved his hand very casually, although most of these scholars in front of him were children from ordinary families in Wuzhou and Hangzhou, but even so, they were all inextricably linked with those prominent families.

Even many of them are the children of those who are of the noble family.

The real descendants of everyone, such as Laiqian, although he came from Runzhou, his family was in Chang'an, and he didn't need to live in Li Xuan's mansion at all.

From entering Beijing in September last year to the present, most of the people who still remain in Peng Wangfu are students who are really studying hard.

After all, in addition to providing them with three meals a day, Peng Wangfu only had a place to live, and even pen, ink and paper needed to be purchased by them in person.

The children of everyone, who are accustomed to extravagance and playfulness, can't bear this kind of hardship at all.

Li Xuan's luck is very good, although one or two of these people are former scholars, but fortunately, they are young and not frivolous, or maybe they were afraid of being hit by others in previous years, so this time they will settle down and really study seriously.

Among these, in addition to He Zhizhang and Zhuge Minghui, there are also one or two people who may be admitted to the Jinshi.

But even if there are only one or two people, it is enough to closely link Li Xuan and the Wu Yue family.

……

Li Xuan waved his hand to let everyone sit down, and then said: "This scientific examination, everyone is in the two subjects of Jinshi and Mingjing, and the content of the scientific examination, Master Yu has explained it to you in detail, and what should be said has been said, and the rest is tomorrow's temporary play." ”

Li Xuan looked at the warm wine on the table, the courtyard was very quiet, and he said in a deep voice: "There are only three glasses of wine in the wine jug on the table in front of everyone today...... In the spring season, Sanyang Kaitai, after three cups, you will go back to sleep well, tomorrow at five o'clock, the king will send someone to wake you up, and then go to the Chongxian Gate Officials Examination Room, whether it is directly the dragon gate, or the next year's battle, everything depends on your own skills. ”

"Thank you for your concern!" Everyone present stood up again and bowed in gratitude to Li Xuan.

During their time in Peng Wangfu, although Li Xuan took care of them meticulously, there was basically no shortage of their needs.

And from time to time, they find people from the Guozijian to give advice, and they don't have much time to spend on interpersonal relationships and paper submission, and a lot of it is spent on reading.

Li Xuan motioned for everyone to sit down again, and then continued: "All of you here, there are several people, all of you are between the exam and the exam, play quietly, don't think nonsense, there is a possibility of success in the Jinshi, but if your mind is messy, I am afraid that there will not be much hope for this spring, but it is precisely because of this that if you have any ideas, you may wish to express your mind and write them all in the test paper." ”

Li Xuan said a lot, but they were all talking about how many thoughts they had in their hearts, so they answered them in the test paper as much as possible.

"If one or two examiners are blind and take a fancy to what you have written, they may be able to leap to the dragon gate." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he poured out a glass of wine from the wine jug, and then saluted the many Wu Yue scholars in the courtyard, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of the imperial examination, you can do your best, it will not work today, and there will be a day in the future, but this king still wishes you good luck in the next few days. ”

"Thank you for your blessing!" Everyone in the room immediately raised their glasses and drank them all.

Li Xuan looked at the wine jug on the table, picked it up and poured himself a glass, then looked at everyone and said: "This second cup, you need to taste it slowly, there is no water at this banquet, only the second glass of wine, for you to drink slowly, and be careful not to choke." ”

"The students obeyed." Many of the scholars present bowed to Li Xuan again.

Li Xuan's words seem to have some other meanings, let them ponder slowly.

Li Xuan picked up the chopsticks, took a bite casually, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw that everyone began to eat.

Eat silently, sleep silently.

Everyone slowly ate all the dishes on their faces, and their stomachs were finally full.

Li Xuan put down the chopsticks in his hand, and the plate in front of him was already empty.

After glancing at everyone, Li Xuan finally turned his head to look at He Zhizhang on the left: "Brother Ji Zhenxian, everything can be prepared tomorrow?" ”

He Zhizhang didn't move much in front of him, and the chopsticks had already been put aside, as if he was waiting for Li Xuan to ask.

He Zhizhang looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Lord Wang, if the student's results in this scientific examination are not satisfactory, can he not be affected when he comes back next time?" ”

"It stands to reason that you can!" Li Xuan replied very directly, and then said: "But if you are unlucky, when you meet the previous examiner, you may remember you in particular, but if you have the best talent, then you can naturally have no worries." ”

It is not unheard of that he was not appointed as a high school jinshi, and he came to retake the exam again every year.

It's just that since the Tang Imperial Examination, once high school and re-examined, there are indeed high school students, but the ranking of high school is even worse than the previous one.

Unless you have the posture of a champion, you will never give up high school and not take up your post.

Of course, if you have the posture of a champion, you can naturally be arrogant.

But only if you avoid those villains.

He Zhizhang has the talent of the champion, even if he does not participate in the scientific examination this time, he will have the opportunity to make a comeback, but if he participates in the scientific examination and appears in front of everyone, his position is not good, no, he will inevitably be envied by the people in the future, and it is difficult to say what the results will be when he comes to the scientific examination again.

Li Xuanhuan looked at He Zhizhang with interest, although this time it was said that the matter of the King of the East China Sea had ended, but He Zhizhang's future in the imperial examination was still dangerous.

In fact, if there was no such thing, although he had the talent of the champion, it would be difficult for him to get the champion position in this imperial examination.

One is that the experience is not enough, and the other is that the time is not enough.

Now the Tang Imperial Examination is still the leader of the family, even if it is a figure like Song Zhiwen, Liu Xiyi, and Shen Quanqi, the champion is not as good as a Zheng Yi who was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang.

The era that belongs to He Zhizhang has not yet come.

He Zhizhang slowly raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said, "Prince, Ji Zhen heard that this time with Tubo, the prince will go west, I don't know if I can take Ji Zhen with me then?" ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan didn't hesitate much, and nodded directly.

He Zhizhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his glass to Li Xuan, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for taking care of the prince this time, in the future, Ji Zhen is afraid that he will have to trouble the prince more!" ”

"It doesn't matter." Li Xuan waved his hand, raised his wine glass, nodded at He Zhizhang, and then looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, drink together." ”

"Drink together!"

……

"Knock knock!" A crisp gong sounded throughout the West Courtyard, and the lights and candles in each room quickly lit up.

Fourteen people, one is not lacking, one is not many, all of them are there.

He Zhizhang stood at the head of everyone, and beside him stood Zhuge Minghui, who was also elegant.

Everyone was wearing a blue scholar's uniform, wearing a black hat, their expressions were serious, and a trace of nervousness flashed in the depths of their eyes.

Li Xuan wore a scarlet official robe, and saw that everyone was packed up, and then nodded and walked out.

At the gate of the courtyard, the palace has prepared food and kettles for everyone, but these things are not for them to use now, these are to wait for them to arrive at the examination room, in the middle of the period, and then eat and drink, so that reducing the toilet time can give them more time to answer questions.

The carriage was ready outside the door, and everyone got into it.

Li Xuan sat in a carriage at the front, and beside him and opposite, He Zhizhang and Zhuge Minghui sat respectively.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when he arrived at Chongxian, He Zhizhang took the lead in getting out of the car, Zhuge Minghui Later, Li Xuan nodded slightly at Zhuge Minghui.

Zhuge Minghui, who was a little smaller than Li Xuan, nodded in response, his expression full of determination.

Zhuge Minghui may be said to have the best results among all the people in Peng Wangfu.

Because he is the most well-known among all people, except for He Zhizhang, the people of Chang'an.

It is also what Li Xuan expects the most.

"Let's go, go back to Honglu Temple, there are still people waiting over there." Li Xuan sighed lightly, the envoys and nobles of the countries in Beijing, even the children of merchants, can also have the qualification to participate in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty after passing the study in the Guozijian.

However, there are very few such foreigners, only a dozen people, and there are not even as many people as there are in Li Xuan's palace.

Li Xuan, as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in charge of the Host and Guest Administration, it was also his responsibility to send these people to participate in the imperial examination.

These people, they had been arranged to live in the Honglu Temple Guest House a few days ago, not far from the examination room.

……

Sending a group of people into the examination room, Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, there were not many people in the square, and in another quarter of an hour, the examination room would be closed.

Li Xuangang was going to Honglu Temple to take a break, after all, this scientific examination was a whole day.

At this moment, a carriage slowly stopped in front of Li Xuan.

Immediately, the curtain of the car was lifted, and Yang Jiong took the lead in getting out of the car, followed by Song Zhiwen and Luo Bingwang, who came to send Yang Jiong to participate in the system.

Seeing Li Xuan, Yang Jiong was slightly stunned, and then immediately bowed his hand to Li Xuan and said, "Xiaguan has seen the prince." ”

"Mr. Ling Ming doesn't need to be polite, time is urgent, sir, please come in." At this time, Li Xuan didn't dare to pull Yang Jiong to say anything, so he hurriedly let him enter the examination room.

Yang Jiong smiled relaxedly, then bowed his hand to Li Xuan, turned around and entered the examination room.

Although the system and the imperial examination are in the same examination room, they are completely different.

Li Xuan turned to look at Song Zhiwen and King Luo Bin, and said gently, "I've seen two gentlemen." ”

"I've seen the prince!"

"Two, the time for the upper value is almost up, and this king will leave first."

"Congratulations to the prince." Song Zhiwen and Luo Bin Wang immediately bowed down to see them off.

Between looking down, Luo Bingwang suddenly raised his eyes to look at Li Xuan, and the depths of his eyes were already filled with a strong murderous intent.

However, as soon as he looked up, he saw Li Xuan staring at him with a pair of cold eyes.

He said that this time, the king of the East China Sea had to die, so he had to die.

I'm sorry, but this chapter was set to August 5th, but fortunately, I found it in time.

I still don't understand how the 9:30 set at 9:15 today is automatically the date of August 5th
