The Tai Chi Hall is brightly lit, almost all civil officials have participated in the review of the test papers, thousands of candidates need to go through the preliminary examination, review, positioning and other multiple processes of review, usually half a month to release the list, this time to give a reply within two days, you can imagine how much work is done.

As the sky got brighter, many people were so tired that they fell asleep on the floor, and many dedicated people rubbed their stiff necks while staring intently at the test papers.

The palace attendants came up and extinguished hundreds of butter candles one by one, and everyone realized that they had been reviewing all night.

Li Er rubbed his faint eyes, looked at the hundred officials who were sitting or sleeping in the hall, and nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone, Aiqing has worked hard all night, stop what you are doing first." Have breakfast, sleep for an hour, rest and then continue. ”

"Come on, pass the meal."

This is a medicinal meal specially prepared for the assault bus, for this imperial examination civil strife, almost all departments of the Tang Dynasty were busy, including the imperial dining room and the Tai Hospital.

In the morning, everyone rested and returned to the Taiji Hall and continued to fight for the examination papers all over the ground.

"Although only half of the examination papers have been reviewed, judging from the current results, there is too much water in the list of the imperial examinations." Fang Xuanling said with an ugly face.

"yes, especially the top of the list, what kind of policy is written? The mansion in the air, the rhetoric is flashy, I don't know the tax system of the Tang Dynasty at all, and I don't even know this, how dare we use him to govern the people? ”

"Can be the top of the list, is it because the tongue can write articles? The person who marked the examination should be beaten! ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not just the graders......"

……

"Alas, have you noticed a phenomenon that people who can make the list write a lot of things that quote scriptures. On the contrary, the people who can't be on the list use mediocre words, mostly to express the anger in their chests, and there are few people who really get to the stakes and have insight. ”

"Yes, it is!"

Everyone was gossiping, reading the papers, and exchanging opinions at the same time.

"This is also normal. The people who can make the list are either the sons of noble families who have a collection of thousands of books, and they can certainly cite scriptures when they have studied since childhood. Moreover, they have read thousands of books and have an extraordinary family background, which can also broaden their horizons and see more than ordinary people. ”

"Either the paper is selected, and this group of people rely on borrowing the family's collection, and they also have these cheap."

"The rest of the scholars from the poor family can rely on a few books handed down by their families, and it is not easy to be literate and reasonable, so they naturally lack a trace of heritage. But there are also advantages, being in the end of the micro, seeing more actual situations, you can say some personal opinions. ”

"Yes, but their views are too limited, and they can only look up from the bottom up, but they can't understand the purpose of a system from the perspective of a politician."

Unconsciously, Li Er walked over, participated in the discussion, and said with a smile: "Yes, but isn't this what our group of people need to do?" To select talents into the DPRK, we will lead the old with the new, and teach them the policy step by step, so that they will not only have a pattern from a high position, but also be able to combine and apply it to the people at the bottom, and only by knowing the suffering of the people can we think of what the people need most. I'm very optimistic about them. ”

Everyone patted on the back, Your Majesty Shengming.

At this time, the inner attendant Lao Gao walked over with a copper pipe scroll, "Your Majesty, a letter has been sent from outside." ”

Lao Gao didn't say where it was, he directly opened the copper pipe, took out the letter and handed it over. Li Er understood that this was sent by Xiaojiazhuang.

Well?

I thought it was Xiao Rui's letter, but no? Is this an answer? Whose answers?

Li Er looked directly at the tail of the curl, the candidate's love? So, Xiao Rui also took the exam in Xiaojiazhuang? Glancing at Gao Nei, Li Er understood everything.

So I patiently read this "neat" and "scribbled" answer sheet, well, good, good, insightful! Unexpectedly, Fang Er, this kid looks stupid, but he is a person who is inside?

And what about the northern steppes? Didn't he take part in the invasion of the Turkic court? Oh, it turned out that he visited the views of the people of Anle City on the border, he was a good boy, he traveled far away, he didn't want to have fun, he knew how to observe the people's feelings, and he had the style of a father!

The more Li Er looked at it, the more pleasantly surprised he became, and finally applauded, "What an answer sheet." Such a reasonable, well-founded and insightful answer sheet can be evaluated as the first in this imperial examination, not to mention the top three, at least in the top ten. ”

"Oh? I don't know which candidate's answer sheet it was? Didn't you say that all the exam papers are here? How can a copy be sent in from the outside? Everyone watched curiously.

Li Er smiled and handed it to Fang Xuanling, "Fang Qing, can you recognize this good word?" ”

Forehead......

Fang Xuanling felt familiar, carefully recognized, and asked a little untruthfully: "This is written by the dog's widow?" ”

When I looked at the curly tail, it was really him.

Li Er laughed and said: "This child has come out of love, he has started to study and learn, very good, and he will be an all-rounder in the future." It's a pity, it's good anywhere, but this word is a little scribbled. ”

Oh? The second son of the house is loved? He also took the exam? Seeing this, His Majesty is full of praise for his article. Doesn't it mean that Fang Yiai doesn't learn and has no skills, and he can't write or write, so he's a waste of firewood?

"Fang Xiang, Your Majesty said that it was a good article, it is better to read it, so that everyone can also see Ling Lang's talent."

"That's right, Fang Xiang, I have heard for a long time that Gongzi Youzhou and his party have been reborn, I just thought that he had put pen to paper, abandoned literature and practiced martial arts, but I didn't expect to participate in the scientific examination. Civilian, military and all-rounder, remarkable. ”

"Yes, Fang Xiang, Nian Nian, Nian Nian." Xiao Yu and others also urged.

Fang Xuanling couldn't refuse, so he could only read it hard, his son's policy was in line with reality, and it was obviously an insight obtained through on-the-spot visits. It's just plain, literary, literary...... There is no literary brilliance at all, it is all vernacular.

There are also some words that can only be barely legible by combining context. In short, the article can be listened to, but not read.

"True! Not bad, very insightful. ”

"He is worthy of being the son of the prime minister, he can be literary and martial, and he has the style of a father."

"The tiger father has no dogs, congratulations to Fang Xiang."

"Alas...... Youzhou and his party have been tempered, and they can really be reborn, and they knew that the children who made my family unsuccessful would also go. Gao Shilian said with some remorse.

Everyone's praise is half sincere, half praised, but Fang Xuanling is still very proud, his son has shown his face, and his father's face is also bright.

"Your Majesty, this article is indeed good, and it can be selected into the top ten on the list." Xiao Yu took the lead in recommending.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

……

Fang Xuanling hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, by all means." The dog did not sign up for the imperial examination, and did not participate together outside, but only answered questions privately at home, and he couldn't do anything. ”

"Fang Xiang, what is the small thing to become a big deal? No matter where you take the exam, as long as you answer it carefully, you can prove your talent. As for the report of the department, it is just a formality. Xiao Yu knew that Fang Yiai was serving as a guard for his son, so he tried his best to help Fang Yiai's child gain a reputation.

But Fang Xuanling was an upright person, and said seriously: "Thank you for your kindness." It's just that this second exam is in plain sight, and students outside need fairness, so we must be absolutely fair and just. If the dog does not sign up, he is not eligible to run. ”

"Actually, we don't care if we can be on the list or not, Fang Mou, who is a father, is satisfied when he sees his son grow up like this."

"If it's because of the relationship with this kid, the rules are broken, don't do it."

"Fang Mou left love for the dog, thank you uncles for your love, I understand it, I understand it."

Having said that, everyone no longer insists, the house is high, and it should be fulfilled. However, everyone recognizes that Fang Yiai is talented, and his reputation has been earned. In the future, the second room will no longer be a waste.

Li Er suddenly thought that since he was taking the exam in Xiaojiazhuang, should Xiao Rui leave only one person in the examination room, Cheng Qian? Will you also participate in answering questions? How did he answer?

gave the waiter Lao Gao a look, and the other party understood, and immediately ran to inquire in person.
