Chapter 516: The First Imperial Examination of the Tang Dynasty!
Although I think so in my heart, I definitely can't say it on my lips.
Since the Emperor thought he was at a loyal vigil—
That is, there is nothing wrong with it!
"Your Majesty works too hard and often has nightmares, so the minister thinks about helping to guard the palace."
Xu Fenglei put on his shoes and got up, and said hesitantly,
"After all, we are half a Taoist priest, maybe we have the ability to exorcise evil spirits, and those evil ghosts dare not get close."
He himself believed it!
Li Shimin put down the pen and turned his head to look at him.
"It's rare that you have this heart, and I didn't have a nightmare yesterday."
Li Er sighed lightly,
"Maybe you really have the potential to be a god."
Xu Fenglei smiled and did not answer.
Syllable!
A cigarette flicked over.
"Hey...... No, no, no. ”
Xu Fenglei took the cigarette and said busily,
"Smoking hurts the body, and I don't know how much smoke and dust I have eaten all the way, and it hurts my lungs."
"Recently, I'd better pump a little less to let my body recover."
Last night, pack after pack, I was about to vomit!
When I see this thing now, I feel sick to my stomach......
When Li Shimin heard this, he was slightly stunned, and he also took back the cigarette that had just been approached to the candle and put it back in his pocket.
"You're right, smoke less."
He lamented,
"But if you don't smoke this, I'm panicking...... Before I knew it, I had become dependent on this thing, and I had to take a bite of everything. ”
"From this day onwards, quit smoking!"
Xu Fenglei smiled.
"How many days?" He asked.
Li Shimin glared.
“…… Three days! ”
He said angrily,
"Hold on for three days, I can still do it!"
"Let's go, Jingde, they should still be sleeping, since you are awake, go out for a walk with me."
"Okay." Xu Fenglei raised his feet and stepped forward.
Sea poolside.
"Before, I felt that death was a distant thing, as if I would never face it."
Li Shimin looked at the calm lake and said softly,
"It wasn't until this time that I went to Fengzen Mount Tai that I felt that death was actually not far away, just over there."
"The Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, they have all made immortal feats, but where are they now? Only a remnant of the monument remained, and it still needs to be maintained by future generations from time to time, otherwise it would have been damaged and worn out long ago. ”
Xu Fenglei blinked.
Yes, Li Er is also emo?
It seems necessary to encourage him.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's all there!"
Xu Fenglei said sonorously,
"In the annals of history, in the hearts of men!"
"I've heard the saying that there are three deaths."
"The first time, it was when he lost his breath, and at this time, he could no longer move, no longer could think, and could only lie there and turn into a corpse."
"The second time, when people went to his funeral, everyone knew about his death and came to his funeral, and after that, everyone knew that he was dead, and no one would come to visit him, and no one would think of having a drink with him."
"And the third time is when everyone is completely forgotten."
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Xu Fenglei.
"When the last person who remembers him also forgets him, then the only bit of information he has in this world will be erased."
Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,
"At this time, he is completely dead."
Li Shimin's heart was shaken, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Your Majesty, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are lucky, and the Qin Emperor and Han Wu are lucky."
Xu Fengleidao,
"Because they are emperors, they are recorded in the annals of history, and even thousands of years later, there are still people who remember their names and know their deeds."
"In a sense, they live in the hearts of men, and they have eternal life!"
"And you, too, are lucky."
"You are also an emperor, and an outstanding emperor, from the current point of view, as long as you don't slip and don't do perverse things, you will be famous for a hundred years!"
"Then you will live forever."
After hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.
"You mouth...... What a way to say! ”
He shook his head and smiled,
"Originally, I was very depressed in my heart, but I was a little relieved when you said this."
Xu Fenglei smiled slightly.
"It's not about saying, it's about the facts."
He is right,
"It's like Du Ruhui, although he is gone, his exploits are still there, the history books will truthfully record his exploits, and future generations will praise him and praise him."
"Thousands of years later, his name is still known to the world, and he is immortal."
"So, Your Majesty doesn't have to be too upset. If you really miss him, set up a monument for him and count his merits one by one. ”
"In this way, his eternal life will be more solid."
Li Shimin's eyes lit up slightly.
"Okay...... Good! You're right, you're absolutely right! ”
He clapped his hands and praised,
"I want to personally write a monument for Keming, so that his name will be remembered for centuries!"
"As long as my name remains, his name will never fade!"
"Go, go! Go back and write, write now! ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Er ran towards the palace, looking like he couldn't wait for a moment.
The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth rose slightly.
This wave of consolation ...... A score of 10 out of 10 is not too much for a score of 9.9, right?
"Eternal life, live forever in the hearts of men."
He also clenched his fists, looked at the sparkling lake, and said softly,
"Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers will not be wasted."
"I hope I can be a river...... too"
……
Seven days later, Du Ruhui was buried.
Emperor Li Shimin dropped out of the dynasty for this reason, and personally came to the scene to give a monument, and engraved Du Ruhui's life achievements on the monument, so that the historian recorded.
Two months later.
The Fengchan team slowly returned to Chang'an City, and as soon as the officials returned to Chang'an, the first thing they did was to go to pay their respects to Du Ruhui.
After death, it is glorious, extreme.
After more than half a month, the officials and the people gradually looked away, and an extremely important matter for Datang also kicked off at this time.
Tang Academy Palace.
Because enrollment has not yet begun, most of the huge school palace is still empty.
But in one of the classrooms, people came in one after another, and after saluting respectfully to the two people on the podium, they searched for them at their desks, and finally took their seats.
"Taishi, what do you think of this batch of candidates?"
Eldest Sun Wuji pointed to the people sitting at the desk, and asked with a smile,
"This is the result of my hard work in the past year, and it can be said that I have investigated and selected everyone."
"Their knowledge is above the standard, and the outstanding ones are even more impressive."
Xu Fenglei shook his head when he heard this.
"Not good." He answered.
The eldest grandson Wuji's face froze, and his smile stopped abruptly.
"There are many people who wear brocade robes, but few people who wear coarse linen clothes."
Xu Fenglei said softly,
"There are many of these people, who originally did not pass the imperial examination, but were directly recommended and selected by their parents, and they can also become officials."
"For them, the imperial examination is actually an additional obstacle, and there is the possibility that they will not be able to pounce."
"But that's what I want. With this obstacle, we can give the leaders of the poor family more opportunities. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned.
"Taishi wants to change the pattern of the world."
He stroked his beard and said,
"It's a big project......
The wealthy family is not so easy to shake. Their heritage means that no matter what kind of rules they are in, they will have more and greater opportunities than ordinary people.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Xu Fenglei said with a smile,
"The first step of this thousand miles starts from this step, from the ...... Well, let's get started. ”
He pointed his finger over.
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at his hand, and saw that at the door, there was a young man wearing coarse linen clothes and carrying a package behind him.
As soon as he entered the door, a sour smell wafted in, causing many people to frown.
The young man also seemed to know that he had a strange smell on his body, and lowered his head in shame.
"Meet the two examiners."
He walked to the podium, did not dare to get too close, and bowed his hand.
"Go ahead."
Xu Fenglei didn't mind the smell on his body, and said with a smile,
"Find your spot and sit down, and I wish you a good result."
In summer, it's normal to have a little body odor.
As long as he is not a boy with fine clothes and fine food, he will have a little taste on his body more or less, and if it is a crop style, the taste will be even greater.
This young man has thick bones and rough fingers, and at first glance he often does farm work.
"Thank you...... Thank you for the exam. ”
The young man was obviously a little flattered, and even thanked him, and then went back to find his place.
"Hey, what does it smell like......
"Did you jump into the pit? This smell ......"
"Far away, far away, it will affect my exam for a while......"
“……”
"I'm sorry, I just came here after doing farm work...... I'm sorry......" everyone was disgusted, and the young man had to say sorry repeatedly.
"Peasants, can also come to the imperial examination?"
"Haha, that's weird, are you literate? You can't even write your own name, right? ”
“……”
Several candidates made a fuss, all making fun of them.
Xu Fenglei looked at them with a hint of displeasure.
Don't look down on other farmers?
As long as someone with a brain can know that he can sit here as a farmer and select with you, then there must be something extraordinary!
"Silence."
He patted the wood in surprise and said in a deep voice,
"The examination room is heavy, and there is no noise."
"If anyone dares to make noise, they will be disqualified from the exam."
At the sound of an order, the examination room was quiet for a while, and no one dared to make noise.
This time, it's really 'my mother's mother, it affects my career'!
The young man also benefited from this silence, and quickly lowered his head to find his place.
When he found out that he was last in the back row, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
He himself, too, breathed a sigh of relief.
Clang!
A bell rang out.
"Auxiliary, close the exam room."
Xu Fenglei commanded.
"Okay."
The eldest grandson Wuji, as the deputy chief examiner, naturally obeyed his words and raised his legs to close the door.
But just as he was about to close the door, a man suddenly rushed over.
"Me! I ......"
"And me! Still...... Haven't started the exam yet? ”
The person who came was dressed in silk, originally dressed in cool clothes, but now he was sweating profusely.
"Uh......"
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Xu Fenglei.
"It's already time for the exam, you're late."
Xu Fenglei opened the exam paper and responded expressionlessly,
"Let's go back! Hurry up early next time. ”
The young man in silk clothes looked stiff.
"Your Excellency, I'm just one step late, I'll ...... one step at a time"
He hurriedly pleaded,
"I just heard the bell ringing, I think it's just the beginning, right?"
"Please be accommodating, my father is Cui ......"
Bang!
Xu Fenglei slapped the shocking wood again, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
"I said, the exam has already started, and you're late."
He stared at the young man in silk clothes and said coldly,
"Get out."
"I don't want to say it a second time."
The atmosphere in the stadium instantly cooled down.
"I'm just a moment late, can't I let this go?"
The young man in silk frowned, but still bowed,
"Your Excellency, I said, my father is Cui ......"
He wanted to report his home, but Xu Fenglei directly forcibly interrupted his words and scolded:
"I don't care what you do! You're just a ghost, and it's useless! The king of heaven is here, and it can't be done! ”
"You're late, you just don't pay attention to this exam! I just can't look down on the imperial examination! ”
"Since you can't afford the imperial examination, why do you still want to step into this examination room?"
"Who your father is, I'm not interested in knowing, but if your father's name really works, just go directly to your father, what are you doing here?"
"Now, right now, get out of here!!"
Get out!
With these three words, Xu Fenglei had already roared out, and the powerful momentum directly overwhelmed the silk-clothed youth.
Anyway, he was also a court master, and he also led troops to destroy the country!
The killing aura on his body burst out, where can such a young man who is ignorant of the world withstand it?
"I, I ......"
As soon as the silk-clothed young man's legs were weak, he turned his head and ran.
Eldest grandson Wuji: "......"
Taishi, this ...... Isn't that a bit overkill?
This young man's father, whom he also knew, was an official in the same dynasty...... If you look up and don't see you when you look down, if it's him, you'll be accommodating.
But looking at Xu Fenglei's iron-faced and selfless appearance, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't dare to squeak, and slammed the door shut.
Xu Fenglei's gaze swept down.
The candidates who were still relaxed just now were all silent at the moment, and they didn't even dare to let out a fart.
That's mighty, it's too strong!
Anyone who is scolded like that will be scared to the point that their legs tremble!
"When it comes to the discipline in the examination room, it's very simple, just a few."
Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,
"First, don't cheat."
"Second, don't talk to each other."
"Third, when the exam time comes, you must hand in the paper immediately, and you can't write a single word."
"These three articles, no matter which one is committed, will be regarded as a violation of the imperial examination regulations, the examination paper will be invalidated directly, and I will be severely punished! The maximum penalty is exile! ”
"Did you hear it all?"
All the students nodded obediently.
This guy ...... It is possible to put yourself in exile after taking a test......
It's scary.
"Now, let's start the exam."
Xu Fenglei was still expressionless, and said,
"Auxiliary, send out the exam papers."
"Yes." The eldest grandson, Wuji, took the exam papers and distributed them one by one.
At the same time, his gaze also fell on the exam paper, and he was slightly stunned.
Only...... A question?!
