Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

Li Yuanying really didn’t know that His Majesty Li Er had been to the Gongyuan Academy. There are not so many miscellaneous examination methods in the Jinshi department. As long as the paper is almost the same, this article is not so easy to write. It needs to be relevant and brilliant. You must have your own ideas.

Therefore, this test allows you to bring your own dry food for the whole day. When it gets dark, you can also light a candle to continue the test, leaving you to take the test all day and night.

Although Li Yuanying and her team did not directly guess the question this time, they have discussed similar issues. He was no worse than anyone else when he came up with an idea, so he sketched the general idea and started to write his own essay on the answer sheet. Halfway through the writing, he felt hungry and took out a few bites of the dry food he had brought. It was a pity that he didn't have tea, but he was barely full, so he continued to write.

By noon, Li Yuanying's answer sheet was finished. Li Yuanying took a look at it. He didn't write any typos, prohibited content, and the writing was quite smooth. As for the literary talent, anyway, he was just like that. He really couldn't change the good literary talent, so he could write well.

Li Yuanying was very satisfied with her performance and left the Gongyuan by handing in the papers early. He looked left and right, before Wei Shu and the others came out, they ran to the wine shop outside the Gongyuan to borrow a hut to liberate, and then sat down and asked someone to make tea for him.

The shopkeeper of the wine shop was the first time I heard someone said that he wanted tea in the wine shop, and said with a face that his shop was small, and that he had no face and no way to buy tea that dignitaries like to drink. Li Yuanying knew that tea was selling well, but didn't know that ordinary people couldn't buy it. He asked the shopkeeper to send an errand to get some tea from Qianjintang, anyway, he wanted to drink tea.

Li Yuanying gave the money generously, and the shopkeeper and her buddies were happy to do his business, and they helped him run errands after receiving the money. After the tea was settled, Li Yuanying asked the shopkeeper how difficult it is to buy tea. He loves to hear this. The harder it is to buy, the better it sells, the more they earn!

Soon after, the buddy returned, not only bringing back tea, but also the Orioles and Orioles and others. Today, Li Yuanying came to the Gongyuan to take an exam and no one was followed, saying that she didn't want to be special, and sent them to read books or learn some medical sciences in Qianjintang and the library.

The wine shop mates went to fetch tea. When they heard that Li Yuanying had finished the exam, they brought the guards and waiters over to wait on them. By the way, they brought all the tea-making guys and took a corner of the wine shop and started to make tea for Li Yuanying. .

Although there are not many people in the wine shop at this time, there are not many. Seeing the two cardamom girls brewing tea like flowing water, everyone felt pleasing to the eye, and if they were bold, they asked Li Yuanying for tea, saying that they wanted to try something fresh.

Li Yuanying generously promised: "Why not?"

Hearing that he was so generous, everyone couldn't help reporting his family, and wanted to share a name with Li Yuanying.

Li Yuanying also happily reported her name. Unfortunately, others only know King Teng, but they don’t know who Li Yuanying is. She just feels a little familiar, and I don’t know where she has heard it.

Knowing that Li Yuanying had just come out of the exam, a few people immediately came over to set up a table with him and asked him what questions he had in this exam, whether it was difficult or not, and then asked him how he answered it. Li Yuanying answered one by one, saying that he was sure to pass the exam and the exam questions were not difficult at all!

Seeing that Li Yuanying was only thirteen or fourteen years old, everyone felt that he was overconfident. Regarding Li Yuanying's invitation to everyone for tea, everyone tacitly didn't tell the truth, but expressed sincere blessings to Li Yuanying.

Li Yuanying and the drinkers in the wine shop finished drinking tea, and then waited one after another until the three Wu Mei came out. As for Di Renjie and the others, the content of their exams is rather complicated, and they haven't seen anyone yet. Li Yuanying was sitting next to the window and greeted everyone when she saw someone coming out, calling all three of them into the wine shop to eat tea and wait for someone.

The drinkers in the wine shop did not disperse. Seeing the three little ladies coming out of the examination room, one younger than the other, suddenly remembered the latest rumors. I heard that this year's Jinshi course was very messy. Not only did Your Majesty put his younger brother in for the exam, but also his daughter. There were also two female candidates, one of whom was his younger brother's fiancée!

Seeing that the three little ladies didn't care about the sidelines of others, they all took their seats around Li Yuanying generously. The drinkers inexplicably felt that there was nothing wrong with them entering the wine shop so openly, but it was a bit impolite for them to stare for too long.

Then many people know the identity of Li Yuanying: It turns out that he is the youngest brother of your majesty today! No wonder even the two little maids around me are so cute!

Li Yuanying certainly didn't know the thoughts of the drinkers. He waited until Wu Mei and the three of them asked how they were doing.

The three Wu Mei felt that they were performing normally, and Wu Mei's eyebrows were even brighter. Although she knows that even if she gets a good ranking, she will be knocked out, but since she was given this opportunity, she must firmly grasp it!

Li Yuanying knew that Wu Mei’s identities could be easily cited, and she had already thought of a good idea: "Can you still write the article again? If we can write it, we will publish the article in the museum newspaper. Let the scholars all over the world comment and appraise. Let’s take the lead, and then we can say that all the candidates who take the exam can submit articles and publish them in batches. The library newspaper will give them a contribution fee so that they can eat in Chang'an. Live a lot more."

Wei Shu nodded and said, "I can write it."

Wu Mei and Chengyang also said that there is no problem.

Li Yuanying also suggested that four articles should be published in each issue without any signatures, and only let others think about whether they are good or not. A truly good article has no boundaries, as long as you give it a display platform, it can be widely spread!

At this time, Di Renjie also came out, and Li Yuanying said goodbye to the drinkers who had just passed their names, telling them that the article written by the four of them would be printed in the museum newspaper tomorrow, so that they would remember to read it.

A dry drinker is a good person. Hearing this, he naturally said that he must go to see it, and he would also ask his relatives and friends to see it together!

Di Renjie and several people heard Li Yuanying say that they wanted to publish their articles, and they all regretted not being selected for the Jinshi department, or they could have fun with Li Yuanying and the others.

Tang Guan was a little worried: "Will the saint be angry if you do this?" Li Yuanying asked to go out and publish the test-taking essays, asking outsiders to comment on it, looking at the suspicion of forcing the saint to give them a good ranking. .

Li Yuanying said, "I didn't let him favor favoritism. Why is he angry." He just asked everyone to read the article. How did he write, and he didn't do anything! The Gongyuan side is closed during the scoring period. Even if there is any movement outside, it will not affect the scoring result. Why can't it be released?

Li Yuanying did what he said, and took Wei Shu and a few people to the library on the spot, rushing to silently write down the test essays before dark.

Early the next morning, people who are used to reading the museum newspaper found that there was a special edition of the museum newspaper that day. This special edition came with four unsigned test-taking articles. These four articles have different styles, some are delicate and meticulous, and some The natural atmosphere, some sharp and sharp, but in general, it makes people feel hearty.

It’s impossible to be unhealthy, because the four of them have written at least one article almost every day in the past few months. I can close my eyes and write thousands of words!

Anyone who got the museum newspaper couldn't help but read these four articles over and over again, and silently commented on the highs and lows in their hearts. Some test-takers read it and suddenly fell into a loss. They felt that if other candidates were at this level, they would definitely fail the exam!

Some people have no idea, want to know the evaluation of others, and boldly send the article to the library to be published by the library newspaper. If you can figure out your own level, but also pay for the pen, why not do it?

So the next day the Pavilion News published four more test-taking articles.

Candidates relax their minds: they don't feel that they are all masters.

It will take many days for the Gongyuan to review the papers, and many people can’t wait. It is suggested that the library don’t put four pieces in four pieces. Every time they receive one, they will be copied immediately, so that everyone has new articles to read and compare them. Compare what level you are. The library has changed from goodwill to real-time copying and real-time posting. The library, which has been quietly operating for a long time, has reproduced the lively scene when it first opened!

There was such a big noise outside, and everyone in the DPRK also got the news.

Kong Yingda knew it was Li Yuanying's idea when she heard it, and her beard straightened with anger. This kid just didn't stop after the exam, and he actually paid the examinee to publish the test essays! Everyone is now discussing which of Jinke’s test-taking articles is the best, and most of them think that among these published articles, one should be picked out of the four on the first day!

This obviously means that the ranking may be unfair, and the article will be spread out first. They are so confident in their articles!

Kong Yingda didn't help Li Yuanying, but directly stabbed the matter to His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er had a dark face and asked someone to catch Li Yuanying back.

After Li Yuanying finished the arrangements for publishing the test-taking articles, she didn't care about it anymore, and happily asked Dong Xiaoyi to allocate staff and discuss internship arrangements with the Imperial College to prepare for the next trip to Taiyuan.

Right now, there is no such thing as a palace exam. After the exam, you just wait for the list to be released, and then come to an imperial visitor, return home and so on. These are meaningless to Li Yuanying. If Wu Mei gets the top spot, he can arrange to set up a running table in Fengtai Building and make a big one!

Therefore, after Li Yuanying finished what he could do, she didn't care anymore. She actively prepared for a post-test trip, and brought Sizi and the others to Taiyuan to play with Li Zhi and see Li Zhi's fat son.

His Majesty Li Er asked someone to carry him over, but Li Yuanying was quite inexplicable, so he leaned over and asked his Majesty Li Er why he was suddenly looking for him.

His Majesty Li Er threw the pile of "special editions" recently published in the museum newspaper in front of Li Yuanying and asked him what was going on.

Li Yuanying said: "Communications!" He asked His Majesty Li Er of course, "Brother Emperor, did you not discuss with others after the exam when you were studying? These articles are not shameful, so why can't they be released?"

His Majesty Li Er stared at him.

Even if Li Yuanying hadn't signed it, he could guess that the four articles of the first day were written by a few of them, but for a while, he couldn't figure out who wrote the most brilliant one.

As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see, one of the articles was written deeply and sharply, far away from all the articles. Even the bachelors of the Hongwenguan said that it was a pity that this article was used for the exam. This is the middle of the sentence. The painful point, enough to allow the author to circulate a good article through the ages!

It is impossible to write the theory of time to this level, but it is impossible to achieve it without insight, vision, and mind.

His Majesty Li Er personally wanted to think that this article was written by Li Yuanying, but after deliberation several times, he found that it was impossible to come from Li Yuanying's hand.

Li Yuanying is not at all as sharp as this article reveals. Another article with a sense of "actually I can be more unrestrained" between the lines is Li Yuanying's style. It can be seen that he is working hard to constrict his little tail. !

Wei Shu and Chengyang were also impossible.

Then there is only one person: Wu Mei.

He came up with the word "fascinating" because she thought she was outstanding in appearance and charming.

As a result, Wu Mei went out of the palace, and gradually became like a sharp sword, with a sharp edge!

Seeing that Majesty Li Er’s face was very ugly, Li Yuanying actively explained to herself: "Brother Emperor, although I can’t avoid relatives, I’m your brother, Chengyang is your daughter, and Sister Shu is your future brother-in-law. It is inevitable that someone will open their mouths and gossip! I know that you are difficult to do, so I will let others read the article first. If they think that their ranking is low and unfair, and they call you partial to their own family, I will let them They keep their eyes open and take a look!"

His Majesty Li Er coldly snorted: "If the Gongyuan Academy ranks you low, can you ask someone to judge, right?"

Li Yuanying categorically denied: "Impossible, if you don’t treat everyone equally, you just don’t allow us to take the test? When the Turkic people came and landed, you gave them a place to settle down, and you let them be officials; no matter where they came from. People of China, as long as they are willing to be Datang people, you treat them like other Datang citizens, allowing them to be naturalized, allow them to join the army, and allow them to perform imperial examinations; no matter where the messenger comes, as long as they want to learn the words of the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty You allow them to go to the Imperial College to listen to their knowledge. The emperor's brother can tolerate the people of the world. Isn't it enough for a few Datang women?"

His Majesty Li Er's face was a little slow after hearing Li Yuanying's words. He leaned on the Pingji and rubbed his forehead, looked a little tired, and asked, "You have recently had a good relationship with the children of Fan Yanglu's family?"

Seeing Majesty Li Er looked tired, Li Yuanying cleverly leaned forward to massage his temples, and said, "Yes, it was taken by the old house when I went back to Cuiwei Palace. You also praise his good poetry! Me and You said, he is clever and he can learn everything quickly. I think he was delayed by his family. His family asked him to learn about the elegant and elegant. It is very difficult to learn. If he came to Chang'an earlier, I'll be able to join us in the Jinshi!"

His Majesty Li Er was comfortably making Li Yuanying courteous, listening to Li Yuanying's words and thinking of those irritating families.

If all the children of the aristocratic family come for the Jinshi examination, I am afraid that nothing will happen to Li Yuanying! Although the imperial court established an official school, it gave the poor students the opportunity to enter school, but the poor family members are no one to enlighten themselves, and secondly, they cannot be separated from people in the field. There are still too few people who can be selected for real use. They can get started immediately The talents used are basically in the hands of aristocratic families.

In fact, His Majesty Li Er doesn't mind using people from these aristocratic families. The problem is that they don't look down on the royal family of Li Tang, and many people don't even come to take the test. Like this time Jinshi Keta asked Li Yuanying and three female candidates to take the exam, some candidates stopped the exam silently, thinking that such a scientific exam insulted them!

His Majesty Li Er is also temperamental. These aristocratic families do not like to play with their Li Tang royal family. He also doesn't like these family members who hold one side. He asked Gao Shilian to compile "Clan History" a few years ago. Gao Shilian moved these families back a bit.

His Majesty Li Er found it strange to hear Li Yuanying praise Lu Zhaolin sincerely. If there is something that aristocratic families look down on most, it must be a relative of the imperial family like Li Yuanying with a lesser reputation. How does this kid make people look at him differently?

Li Yuanying heard that His Majesty Li Er did not believe that he could make a friend of Lu Zhaolin, and said unhappily: "I am sincere with him, and he is also sincere with me. What's so strange! I still have correspondence with many of his friends. Usually we encounter problems that we don't know, so we write to them and ask them!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "It seems that he does treat you as a friend."

If not sincerely, Lu Zhaolin would definitely not mention Li Yuanying with his friends, let alone take Li Yuanying with him to communicate with his friends.

Li Yuanying became proud: "Of course, I will make friends best!"

His Majesty Li Er sees him so terribly, he doesn't want to listen to him showing off anymore, let him play on his own, don't engage in other things.

Li Yuanying denied: "I didn't do anything about it!" His Majesty Li Er drove people and he did not leave. Instead, he asked, "Did the emperor encounter any troubles?"

His Majesty Li Er didn't want to talk to Li Yuanying, but Li Yuanying and Sun Simiao learned a few hands and rubbed his head comfortably, so he leaned back and talked to Li Yuanying.

Regarding whether to bring people to fight against Goryeo, the first two years of Korea's restlessness, mainly because the incumbent of Goryeo named Gai Suwen was not at ease. Gai Suwen's full name is Yuan Gai Suwen, Yuan is the surname, everyone tacitly only calls him Gai Suwen, or change his surname at will.

Gai Suwen holds the military power and does whatever he wants in Goryeo. The last Goryeo leader who wanted to kill him has been sacked by him. The current Goryeo leader is supported by him. He is very obedient. He supports everything. . After this Gai Suwen finished the internal struggle, he stretched his hand to the neighboring countries. The first to bear the brunt was Silla. After all, Silla's own interior is not peaceful, and the two sides of Goryeo Baekje jointly engaged in it, it has no power to fight back!

These are the vassal states of Datang. The vassal states are disobedient and repeatedly provoke the authority of Tian Khan. His Majesty Li Er feels unbearable and must fight!

In this regard, both North Korean and Chinese military commanders agreed. They hadn't moved their muscles and bones for a long time, and they wanted to make some military exploits. As for the emptiness of the treasury and the suffering of the people, that is not what they will consider. If the military attache can handle all these things, what do you need civil servants to do?

Most civil servants naturally disagree with this behavior of increasing their workload to help others.

Among them, Wei Zheng opposed the most fiercely. When he caught the air, he chased after His Majesty Li Er to persuade him, saying that in these years, he was fighting for the Turkic Tuyuhun and the Tubo Gaochang. The people are suffering!

Goryeo is far in Liaodong. The land is barren and the products are scarce. Even if it is shot down, it will be of little benefit. The most important thing is that this battle line is too long. It is too difficult to adjust troops or food. It is really going to be an expedition to Goryeo. The people's military service is aggravated, and all adult males are going out again.

Only then did Li Yuanying realize that you had been arguing with Zhongzhong during this period of retreat. As always, there was no news from Dai Ting, and he did not know what was going on in Silla.

Li Yuanying became nervous when His Majesty Li Er said that Gaisuwen was so hateful: "Will Dai Ting and Manman be okay?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "When Sangri Hyun Prize came back, he said that they had arrived in Silla safely, and there was no other news. Why, the people you sent didn't send you a letter?"

Li Yuanying said: "Dai Ting has never liked to write letters. He said that writing a letter is useless after such a long distance, so just report it when you come back."

In the past, Li Yuanying wanted to send someone to write a letter specifically, but later I thought that it was a bit like monitoring Dai Ting, so I just gave it up, letting Dai Ting play freely.

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows and said: "You are not afraid that he will not return with your money?"

Li Yuanying said: "If Dai Ting only had money in his eyes, he wouldn't have worked so hard to run away."

His Majesty Li Er said: "Oh? Then what is in his eyes?"

Li Yuanying is speechless.

He hummed: "How do I know! He doesn't like the money anyway."

His Majesty Li Er thinks that if this kid wasn't lucky and the people who picked him up were good, he would have lost all the money in his hand.

At this time, someone said that Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling asked for a meeting, so His Majesty Li Er asked Li Yuanying to find Li Jing. Li Jing had a military report and there might be news about Silla.

Li Yuanying didn't like to listen to them discussing government affairs, so she ran away.

When Changsun Wuji entered, seeing His Majesty Li Er became in a good mood. He sat down and asked why Li Yuanying had come. His Majesty Li Er had a helpless expression of "Bad brother loves to come to me too much": "That kid learned from Sun Lao, so he must give it to him. I clicked and chatted by the way."

What can Changsun Wuji do?

Changsun Wuji could only praise Li Yuanying as a filial brother.

Li Yuanying didn't know that she had accidentally made Changsun Wuji disgusted, so she ran to find Li Jing for military reports.

Li Jing had already applied for retirement. His Majesty Li Er didn't let him go. Recently, he asked him to continue the work of Shangshu in the Ministry of War.

Hearing that Li Yuanying was asked by His Majesty Li Er, Li Jing showed him all the military newspapers.

Li Yuanying only learned a few words from His Majesty Li Er. After reading the military newspaper, he was deeply impressed by Yuan Gaisu Wen, who was called the culprit. He discussed with Li Jing: "This person is a bit powerful."

Li Jing said: "The countries of Liaodong have a unique position, but they are so bold and reckless because they rely on their own remoteness. Once the king's master goes north, they will surely descend quickly, and it's not that powerful."

Li Yuanying said: "Then they fell after the fight, do we want to fight to the end?"

Li Jing said: "Since it's all dropped, I won't fight anymore."

Li Yuanying said: "It sounds meaningless, isn't it just surrendering? They are the Tang vassal country, and they want to be ministers. If they encounter shameless people, this head will surrender with you, and wait for your front foot. As we walk and continue to mess around, do we have to go back and fight again?"

Li Jing said, "This is also no way. You can't be willing to kill you and drive them to death."

Li Yuanying sighed with emotion: "The most difficult thing to deal with in this world is the shameless people!"

The little prince did not see the military newspaper related to Silla, but the news of Jin Shengman's smooth return to the country was brought back by the mission. He was not too worried, thanked Li Jing and left.

Early in the morning of the second day, the Gongyuan side was going to put the list. The genius was bright, the gate of Fang City was first opened, and scholars scattered in all the halls flocked out and rushed to the Gongyuan to watch the rankings.

The author has something to say:

The little prince sent a circle of friends: The most difficult thing to deal with in this world is the shameless people!

Soon I received a new reminder: Your friends Huang Brother, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling have liked them.

Little Prince:?
