Li Ke was confused, could things be like this?

He was just being polite. Li Ke, who was sitting in the main seat, was a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, years of education allowed him to remain calm on the surface.

Then he gave Li Mingda a questioning look: What's going on?

Li Mingda pretended not to see Li Ke's eyes and let him figure it out.

Murong Xue continued to wait for Li Ke with a cute look.

"This, Ke's calligraphy is unsightly"

That means just forget it.

Murong Xue's expression remained unchanged and she continued to stare at Li Ke.

Li Ke continued with some embarrassment: "It's true, Ke's calligraphy is not very good."

Murong Xue's expression did not change.

Li Ke's face turned slightly red: "Well, if you don't dislike it"

Murong Xue: "I don't dislike it"

Well, everyone said that he had won this job, so Li Ke had to admit defeat. He really had never seen anyone like this, especially the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke told his confidants: "Go and get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

The confidant gave instructions to the waiting servant outside. The servant left quickly and then hurried over, holding pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand.

Looking at it from a distance, Li Mingda knew that this set was of great value and was given to Li Ke as a royal gift from Lao Li.

Being able to get Lao Li to send pen, ink, paper and inkstones proves that Li Ke's calligraphy is pretty good. It's not like I haven't seen Li Ke's memorials before. The handwriting is regular and has a hint of heroism.

If it weren't for an identity problem, Li Ke was actually Li Chengqian's only successor. Unfortunately, Li Ke not only had an identity problem, but he was also occasionally weak. In addition, the supporters behind him were really unreliable, and in the end there was no hope.

.

It is said that Li Ke’s first wife Yang Fei is unreliable. According to historical records, Yang Fei married Li Ke, the king of Shu, in the fifth year of Zhenguan. Her father, Youwei Fu, led the Cifen Prefecture Governor Jinggong Yang Yu, and her grandfather was Sui Zhige General Minweifu.

Yang Shigui, Duke of Xing, the governor of the Five Prefectures.

It is true that his status was not low and he was a remnant of the Sui Dynasty, but his behavior was a real pitfall. In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Yang Fei's father Yang Yu actually engaged in "provincial competition for maids" - chasing maids in forbidden areas of the palace.

If he hadn't looked at the stability of the court, Lao Li would have killed them directly. Moreover, this Yang Yu still didn't admit his mistake and instead falsely accused Xue Renfang, the official doctor of the capital. If Lao Wei hadn't directly attacked him, Xue Renfang would probably have been killed.

is in jail.

Such a family. Li Mingda really felt sorry for Li Ke. He was also wondering about this guy. Concubine Yang didn't attend today's banquet. It would be easier if she didn't come. Then he got angry and threw the whole family to Siberia to feed the polar bears.

go.

Li Ke finally finished writing the pile of fans. He still didn't know what Murong Xue would do with these fans.

In fact, there is no need to guess about these things, most likely they will not lead to any good results.

Too bad, you are still young. Don't you know the dangers of society?

Looking at Li Ke who was writing seriously just now, Li Mingda felt that he didn't know.

The banquet continued, and aside from what Murong Xue did, everything else went smoothly. The three of them talked a lot, and finally Li Ke talked about taking the imperial examination.

It's a big deal to do both civil and military work.

Li Ke: "Ke feels that this year's imperial examination is a major event, and my father will definitely focus on monitoring fraud."

Li Mingda: "My father wants to thoroughly investigate the fraud, but this matter has not been solved for thousands of years. I can only do my best."

Li Ke: "Why do you say that?"

Obviously Li Mingda's words shocked him too much.

He is indeed a fool who doesn't even understand this.

"Human beings are not grass and trees, and not all people can be upright and conscientious in their work. In addition, everyone has different thoughts, different knowledge, and different understanding of things. The examiners will review the examination papers based on their own knowledge and attitude."

"Such a gap will cause the test papers to be different in the hands of different people. Generally, you have to choose multiple people to mark the papers or give fixed questions and fixed answers."

Li Ke: "That's it, I've learned a lesson."

Li Mingda ignored Li Ke and continued: "Then this matter is not over yet. Han Chuang has been studying hard for years and finally made it to the scientific examination. Do you think some people will not try their best to get themselves into high school?"

Li Mingda said that Li Ke agreed: "It is true, but Ke thinks it is best to prepare for the exam honestly."

Honest child, Li Mingda planned to continue to attack him: "Just because you think like this doesn't mean everyone else thinks like this, otherwise why would people be divided into good and bad?"

Li Ke suddenly remembered what Li Mingda said about the name-blinding system in the imperial examination: "Isn't it necessary to adopt the name-blinding system?"

Murong Xue interjected: "This little trick of hiding your name is actually very simple. You just need to write fixed words in fixed places on the examination paper, or write individual words in different ways. Here you can also contact the examiner in advance and explain

Submit a copy of your work, and the other person will be able to guess the person they want to promote as long as they remember your font and writing style."

After hearing Murong Xue's words, Li Ke was deeply shocked: "So it can still be like this."

Li Mingda told Li Ke: "As long as you know it, don't tell it. Otherwise, too many people will know about it by then, and the name-blinding system in the imperial examination will be abolished. Furthermore, when a strict investigation is conducted, it will be known that it was you who passed on the father's name."

It will make you look good"

Li Mingda's advice was completely true. Li Ke heard it in his heart and silently wrote it down.

"What about martial arts?"

Since Li Ke asked about the martial arts exam, the opportunity came: "Most of the cheaters in the martial arts exam will do it in the preliminary competition. The later they go, the less maneuverable they will be. Especially in the end, my father and the civil and military ministers will go to watch. What will happen then?"

Moths can be seen with just one glance.”

"And most of the military commanders are hot-blooded people. When they are found out, it will definitely be bloody, and death and injury are inevitable."

"Both civil and military people have their own arrogance. The arrogance of the literati lies in their temperament, but the pride of the military will bleed."

Historically, the Huang Chao uprising was initiated by a young man who was practicing martial arts. Due to the political chaos in the late Tang Dynasty, official administration became increasingly chaotic and the people were in dire straits. Huang Chao had many conflicts with the local government, and eventually an uprising broke out.

The uprising spread across the country, directly killing all the noble families of the Tang Dynasty, and the whole of China was in turmoil.

Li Ke agreed with Li Mingda's words: "It is true. This civil and military competition will definitely attract a lot of talents."

Here comes the key. If you want talents, recruit them yourself. Li Mingda narrowed his eyes: "There are a lot of talents, so you have to be careful when recruiting them. Some people are a disaster. If you have talent, it depends on your character. And in the end, you have to be careful."

The key point is to recruit top-notch talents.”
