Chapter 1 Hey, he has no female companion

In the third year of the early Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City.

After the curfew, Chang'an Street looks particularly empty under the lonely night.

There were only a few music halls and brothels, and bursts of laughter and joy came from time to time.

A young servant in green robe sneaked out from the back door of Zuixianju, the most famous Zuixianju, Chang'an City, and rode a strong horse at the door and galloped towards the palace city.

On the way, several yamen runners and the imperial guards who wanted to intercept him gave in after seeing the tokens he showed.

Tai Chi Palace, Zheng Hall.

The Queen Changsun Wugui's bedroom.

A middle-aged man with a strong figure was walking back and forth in the palace anxiously.

"Shimin, that news may be just a rumor spread by those rogues in the city out of jealousy. As the king of a country, you are so anxious... "

A clear and gentle voice came from behind the curtain of the bed.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp arm that was like a lotus root arm poked out from the curtain, revealing a stunning, beautiful and refined face.

Li Shimin turned around and looked at Empress Changsun, and a wry smile flashed across his face.

He can always reveal his heart a little when facing this woman he loves the most in this life.

"Guanyin Bi, you don't understand. The rumors of fraud in the imperial examination are coming in full swing. Behind it is the instructors of those aristocratic families who are dissatisfied with the imperial examination."

When Empress Changsun heard the word "Classic" and her beautiful eyebrows were frowned slightly.

She had long known the strength of the "five surnames and seven families" in the Tang Dynasty.

Those people from aristocratic families always place family interests above the interests of the court.

But because of their deep foundation in various places, many disciples, old officials, relatives and friends in the military and political circles, many local government orders in the court had to rely on them to implement them.

The imperial examination reform that Li Shimin strongly implemented this time violated the "nine-rank Zhongzheng system" that these people have always praised based on the family's family...

"I don't send someone to find out the foundations of these new Jinshi this year, I really don't have peace of mind!"

Li Shimin sighed, and a trace of depression flashed through his eyes.

"Report to Your Majesty, I am back. Based on what I have explored during the banquet and party of Jinshi in Zuixianju..."

The servant in Qingyi outside the gate of Lizheng Hall said this, his face was full of nervousness.

"Um?"

Li Shimin was furious and opened the door with his tiger eyes staring at the close eunuch dressed as a servant in blue.

The personal eunuch was named Wang De, who was a surrendered person from the former Sui Dynasty and had been following Li Shimin for decades.

"This...that, I have a shallow knowledge..."

When Li Shimin glared at him, Wang De stammered and couldn't speak.

Li Shimin waved his hand and said angrily: "So quickly summon Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, and Gao Shilian to accompany him in the palace gate. I want to see with my own eyes the true level of these so-called new tribute tributes! By the way, there is Shubao!"

After a while, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian and Cheng Yaojin, touched their heads in front of the palace gate.

Before the four of them could discuss a few words, they saw Li Shimin, dressed in an ordinary person's outfit, leaving the palace with a few ordinary Jinwuguards with a pale face.

Except for Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji and the other three were smart people, so they naturally would not rush to meet Li Shimin's bad luck, but they all secretly guessed it in their hearts.

Cheng Yaojin obviously hadn't figured out what had happened yet.

The Zuixian Curie is brightly lit and the noise is hustle and bustle.

There are several particularly loud sounds that look particularly harsh.

"Brother Liu, you ranked third in the first place in this conference. I wonder what excellent works will be given to me for tonight's grand event?"

"Hahahaha, I'm not to hide it. This talented man thought of a masterpiece a while ago. I will recite it, and listen quietly to you!"

"It's all quiet, let's listen to Brother Liu's masterpiece!"

As the sound of slapping the table sounded, Li Shimin, standing at the door with his hands behind his back, and his expressionless Li Shimin couldn't help but pause.

Even Changsun Wuji and the other two showed serious expressions.

Cheng Yaojin glanced at the three of them and quickly followed suit.

Even he knew that these tribute scholars were all seed contestants carefully selected from this year's imperial examination.

Just like the top three in the first grade of the I-Choose, if you are lucky, you may be the best talented man who will be named the top scorer by Li Shimin in the palace examination!

...

In Zuixian House, the tables were placed in groups of three or three.

On the table table, there were piles of delicious food, delicious wine and delicious food. A group of young people of different shapes and colors held beautiful women in their arms, uncovered.

"Ahem, "Ying Xue" - Liu Dasheng."

As the sound fell, a young man in brocade clothes and robe, with a fat head and big ears pushed the woman in his arms away, stood up from the desk, and looked passionate and passionate.

"There is a general in the river, and there is a black hole in the well.

The yellow dog's body is white, and the white dog's body is swollen."

After a poem, the drunken immortal residence became silent.

Li Shimin's stiff face eased a little, and he subconsciously complained.

"It seems that not all the tribute students selected by the Imperial Examination Institute this time are idiots like Liu Dasheng..."

"Ahem, what Your Majesty said is very much. Then, that Liu Dasheng deliberately pretended to be ugly in order to liven up the atmosphere, but it may not be necessary?"

Gao Shilian blinked and quickly agreed.

"That's true."

Changsun Wuji stroked the clear beard under his jaw and agreed seriously.

Du Ruhui's eyes were strange, and he looked at the two people beside him and stopped talking.

Cheng Yaojin originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Du Ruhui's appearance, he rarely shut up smartly.

Just as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, a series of deafening cheers suddenly came from Zuixianju.

"Brother Liu is a talented man!"

"Brother Liu's poetic talent is really worthy of being the third place in the first place. Wang is convinced!"

"Wait, since Brother Wang has written such a good poem, how can I, Mr. Chen, not show my ugly appearance to cheer up?"

"Brother Chen ranks second in the first place, and his prime minister must be better than Brother Liu!"

“That’s it…”

"Since Brother Liu is named after the name of chanting Xue, Chen might as well recite a poem under the name of chanting Xue. Please enjoy it!"

""Ode to Falling Snow" - Chen Heng."

"What's flying in the sky, and there are piles coming from the east and the west.

Could it be that the Jade Emperor built the Golden Palace? Sifting the soil and ash, sifting the soil and ash."

"good!"

“This poem is great!”

"As soon as Brother Chen published this poem, he wrote about the romantic fallen snow. In the next five hundred years, no one will dare to use the title of falling snow again!"

“…”

Unlike the popular style in Zuixianju, Cheng Yaojin nodded involuntarily. Changsun Wuji and the other two who couldn't see clearly the expression on Li Shimin's face looked at me, and I looked at you, and all their faces were strange.

"Bang!"

"What a bunch of wine bags!"

At this time, Li Shimin finally couldn't bear it anymore, cursed, kicked open the door, and walked into Zuixianju with great strides.

As soon as he broke into Zuixianju, Li Shimin's eyes instantly froze on a young man who was drinking jokingly against the southeast tingzhu.

The boy was dressed in white, unparalleled but drunk, looking at the group of tribute students who were praising each other, his eyes were half open and half closed and full of mockery.
