Chapter 485: The Storm Begins

Li Yunze's ambition deeply shook Li Bai's heart.

Li Bai, who was similar to an angry youth in personality, immediately patted his chest and promised that he would go to great lengths to realize Li Yunze's ideals.

That's what he said, and that's what he did.

Without waiting for the end of the imperial examination, Li Bai took the initiative to find those friends who participated in the imperial examination and vigorously persuaded his friends to work for Li Yunze.

To be honest, if it's just an ordinary prince, it's really hard to attract too many talents.

After all, Li Saburo has as many as thirty sons alone!

Fortunately, Li Yunze's recent market is good, and celebrities who often deal with powerful people vaguely know that Li Yunze has the image of staying in the East Palace, so many people still agree to choose to invest in this potential stock.

Of course, at this time, the main energy of many celebrities is still on the imperial examination that has ended and is waiting for the results.

Under the expectation of many parties, it is finally the day of the release of the list.

Du Fu, who was slightly emaciated, paced back and forth on the street outside the Gongyuan, and the expression on his face was obviously very dignified.

Du Fu, who is only twenty-four years old this year, has a very complicated mood at this time.

Because the examiner is He Zhizhang, he originally planned to write some Qingping Yuya's articles and poems to cater to the examiner.

But I saw a lot of dark things in the examination room, and it was difficult to control the anger in my heart.

It's just that after handing in the papers, I regretted it when I calmed down.

He is not stupid, and he knows very well that what he writes does not conform to the current fashion trend, and it is very likely to be brushed off directly.

In that case, there will not even be a chance to hand it to King Shou.

Because of this, he was so anxious and unbearable, and he waited here with the last glimmer of hope.

Similar to Du Fu, there are hundreds of candidates around him.

Even the sons and daughters of those gate lords and nobles were nervous.

After all, this time it was Shouwang who was in charge of the selection, although they all gave gifts to the scrolls, but so many people competed for a few or even a dozen positions at most, and the competition was too great.

When competition is high, it naturally brings pressure.

And those candidates who are not from the noble family of the gate lord are even more nervous.

According to the usual practice, one or two places from civilian backgrounds would be given in previous years, but in the last imperial examination, even this place was snatched away.

Compared with those noble sons of the gate lords, they were naturally more nervous and anxious, afraid that the Shouwang would continue the tradition and not give them a single place.

Even Wang Zhilian and Meng Haoran, who are veterans of scientific research, are nervous at this time.

In the anxious waiting of everyone, the door of the Gongyuan was finally opened.

The scribe, who was holding a paper tied with a ribbon in his hand, walked out with his head held high.

Seeing this scene, everyone who was waiting anxiously outside rushed forward and directly surrounded the scribe.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze! What's the use of squeezing me? Whether you are enrolled in the department or not, there is already a fixed number. ”

After saying that, the crowd finally calmed down a little, and gathered around the scribe and posted the paperwork in his hand on the wooden board.

"Hahaha~~~~"

"Hit! Hit! I really hit it! ”

"There's me, there's really me~~~"

"It's my name, see no! That's my name! ”

"Woo woo woo ~ ~ ~ The old man is finally enrolled, woo woo ~~~"

"Brother Haoran, congratulations."

"Brother Ji Ling, rejoice and rejoice."

“......”

All of a sudden, the wooden board sign was surrounded by cheers and cheers.

Du Fu, who struggled to squeeze through the crowd, finally came to the wooden plank, and carefully looked at the names on the wooden board with apprehension.

Then, I saw a line of words 'Gongxian Du Fu...'

He didn't look at the rest of the world, and there was only one thought left in his mind: 'Am I hit?' Really hit? What kind of thing can you write about?! ’

It was only when the initial excitement and excitement gradually dissipated that everyone who came back to their senses gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Everyone, everyone!"

A scholar raised his arms and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anyone who didn't win?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one responded.

The man shouted, "Everyone, who is in high school?" ”

Hundreds of people raised their arms almost in unison.

At this point, everyone was dumbfounded.

This, this, this... This Nima only needs to come to take the exam, and all of them have been selected to take the course?!

The ninety-eight people who participated in the imperial examination this time were all selected to enter the Shidengke, and this news swept the entire Tang Dynasty like a hurricane.

In the past, when it came to the imperial examination, everyone's first impression was that it was too difficult, and it was common to select three or five people in one subject, and even one or two people.

It's an exaggeration to have hundreds of people selected in one go.

For this matter, most people's thoughts are that Shouwang is young and ignorant, and he loves to be happy, so he chose it.

Even Li Sanlang, who learned the news, thought so.

In the words of Colliers, 'Your Majesty learned of this, and only said a nonsense. ’

However, the crown prince Li Ying lacked outstanding strategists around him, so he thought that this was a good opportunity and directly talked about this matter in the court, not only to let King Shou come back immediately to admit his mistakes, but also to disqualify all the Jinshi who were selected by him and retake the exam.

As soon as these words came out, Li Linfu immediately lowered his head and forcibly held back the smile on the corner of his mouth.

But Zhang Jiuling was dumbfounded, and the wat board in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Prince Li Ying, do you know what you are talking about here?!

Li Sanlang's face did not change, but a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

'How can such a fool be the prince of a country?' ’

The ministers of the court and the central government naturally looked at it one after another.

The reason for this is very simple, just look at the origins of those who were admitted.

Except for a small number of people, most of the selected Jinshi are from the noble background of the gate valve!

In fact, many of their relatives are standing in this great hall!

As soon as Li Ying's lips touched their mouths, they were about to cancel their qualifications, that is, one sentence offended half of the court and half of the noble family of the Tang Dynasty.

The crown prince Li Ying didn't think about this, and just thought that he could take this opportunity to attack Li Yunze's prestige.

But he didn't expect that the forty-meter-long broadsword he threw out directly injured the power that could not be offended.

Even Li Sanlang can't offend so many noble lords at one time.

"Since it is a court to select scholars, how can there be a reason to cancel it after being selected." Li Sanlang opened his mouth to end this farce, "But Eighteen Lang chose so much, and it is indeed unruly. The selected Jinshi were all recruited, and Eighteen Lang asked him to come back, so the matter was decided.

Naturally, everyone had no objections, and Qi Qi should claim that it was, which was regarded as revealing the matter.

But the impact of this incident cannot be dissipated.

The most important thing is that many people expressed disappointment with the crown prince Li Ying, especially those families who were in the field of science and technology, and regarded him as ignorant of the rules.

On the contrary, he was grateful to Li Yunze, who had chosen everyone, and felt that Shouwang was a good talker and was willing to take out the benefits for everyone to enjoy, which was the one who really understood the rules.

Li Yunze, who was far away in Luoyang, didn't know that Li Ying had done such a sand thing, and he was constantly holding banquets to entertain the Jinshi who were selected by him.

Regardless of the background of the jinshi, Li Yunze at least superficially treated equally, and he had the intention of wooing everyone.

There was no such thing as a teacher in the Tang Dynasty, what Li Yunze had to do was to shape himself into the teacher of the new scholars.

Among the 98 jinshi, many of them are older repeaters who have participated in the scientific examination all year round.

Their wish for many years has finally been fulfilled, and they have great respect for Li Yunze, who chose them, and the atmosphere of the banquet is naturally harmonious.

According to the rules of Datang, the scholars need to go through a three-year period of political observation, that is, an internship period, and then they will be assigned specific work.

For all the new scholars, Li Yunze talked to them one by one, and recommended them to go to different yamen for political practice according to their personal ideals, and they were even more praised.

Among them, Li Yunze invited Du Fu to serve as the supervisor of Shouwangfu, invited Wang Zhilian to serve as the Guocheng of Shouwangfu, invited Meng Haoran to serve as the captain of Shouwangfu, and invited Gao Shi to serve as a farmer of Shouwangfu.

Several people did not refuse, and responded to Li Yunze's invitation, which can be regarded as a direct entry.

From here, it shows that it is only the inadequacy of the status of the prince, but there are too many talents, but there are not many positions in hand.

Originally, the Prince's Mansion still had the position of the pawn army and the deputy pawn army, but this position was reserved for Li Siye and others.

Li Yunze wants to do big things and needs more people to help.

But the strength in his hands is insufficient, so he can only temporarily contact everyone.

Now, he is already in desperate need of getting the position of the East Palace.

By the time Li Sanlang's intention to recruit him to return to Chang'an City arrived, he packed up with Princess Xianyi and his wife, and returned to Chang'an City with many new scholars, the time had already come to the spring of the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan.

During this period of time, there have been many things happening in Datang.

Among them, what attracted Li Yunze's attention more was that the Pinglu general An Lushan lost the battle and was to be executed according to the law, but he was pardoned by Li Sanlang and walked into Li Sanlang's sight.

If nothing else, according to the historical route, he will soar in a short period of time, from a miscellaneous hu who does not know his origin, all the way to the Three Towns Festival.

In addition, there is also Shi Shugan, who cheated Xi Ren to obtain the great battle exploits, and also entered Li Sanlang's sight.

Because of the merits of the pit and ridicule people, Li Sanlang, who was in a good mood, even gave Shi Minggan a name, and also embarked on the road of soaring.

In addition, the most important thing is that Zhang Jiuling has lost power.

In his later years, Li Sanlang was extremely suspicious, especially very wary of the powerful prime minister.

When he was in power, he changed more than 30 prime ministers, and the main strategy was to change people regularly.

Zhang Jiuling has outstanding ability and integrity, but because he is upright, he has repeatedly admonished Li Sanlang, let him not be so extravagant, let him not be so heavy on villains, let him not be so...

And he has always supported the crown prince Li Ying, which is a taboo for Li Sanlang.

By the time Li Yunze finally returned to Chang'an City, a storm against Zhang Jiuling and the crown prince had gradually taken shape.
