Wude six years, the third day of the second lunar month.
Li Shan still got up so early, sitting lazily by the bed like an uncle. Xiaoman got the new clothes that had been prepared long ago, and together with Zhou, he served Li Shan and dressed neatly.
It's really not that Li Shan is too lazy... He wants to wear it himself, but Zhou and Xiaoman won't do it!
Li Shan felt that such decadent living habits... were all forced.
He splashed cold water on his face and felt refreshed. He was about to go to have breakfast when he heard the commotion outside. Li Shan saw Zhu Wei, Ling Jing, Su Dingfang, Ma Zhou and even Su's mother coming over.
"Why is this so?" Li Shan smiled and said, "If you don't win this year, just try again next year."
"Don't speak up, Dalang!" Zhu Wei said decisively: "It must be high school!"
Su Dingfang only bowed once. He was a man of few words, while Ma Zhou was a talker. He smiled and said: "Huairen listened to the recitations of famous scholars in Lingnan. If you just write a poem casually, it will definitely shine."
The corners of Li Shan's mouth twitched. What he said is... well, it's almost the same. You guessed it right.
But don’t you know, I was also forced... If it weren’t for that guy Li Dewu, I would definitely choose Mingjingke!
Ling Jing on the side sighed: "At the end of the fourth year of Wude, Li Yaoshi appeased Lingnan, and the Duke of Yue led the eight states to surrender. At the end of last year, he sent his son Feng Tianxi to the court."
Everyone was confused. Li Shan vaguely guessed something. To appease Lingnan, Yue Guogong, the surname was Feng...
"On the 13th day of the first lunar month, the King of Qin sent Li Keshi to hold a banquet to see him off. Feng Tianxi was delighted with the jade pot spring and praised his poems..." Ling Jing said with a half-smile but not a smile: "I think what Huairen said... was not only a high scholar, but also a scholar.
For a hermit."
Li Shan was speechless. He laughed a few times and nodded shamelessly: "He is indeed a hermit..."
Duke Feng Ang of the State of Yue was a local leader in Lingnan, and his eldest son Feng Zhi was both civil and military. Such a figure had never heard of these two poems...
I was careless. If I had known earlier, I should have said that I was listening to the immortal chanting in my dream...
His mother, Mrs. Zhu, also came out of the backyard and personally directed the maids to prepare the meal and invited everyone to sit down and eat together. Li Shan's eyes swept around the table. Tofu curd and soy milk were not good. Who knows what the examination room in this era is like?
Especially if you don't have a toilet.
Finally, he picked two eggs, a bowl of millet porridge, and a side dish. Li Shan was eating when he saw a figure moving outside and said, "Zhu Wu, come in."
Zhu Wudan walked into the door with a smile, "Lang Jun, today is the spring of the jade pot..."
"Shut up!" Zhu Wei was furious, pointing at his son and scolding: "Today's big event, how dare you disturb me with trivial matters!"
"Qibo, don't be upset, Qibo. Zhu Wu came to ask, it's reasonable." Li Shan still had half an egg in his mouth and said with a smile: "Demou is sending a message, I don't know yet, I need to find out more."
Ma Zhou said slowly: "Not necessarily."
"Um?"
"Li Qianyou was originally the order of Chang'an. He returned to Beijing yesterday, and the Li family in Longxi..." Ma Zhou clicked his tongue and said, "I'm afraid he just didn't want to disturb Huairen's mind with this matter and missed the scientific examination. I guess today's scientific examination will be the first time."
After that, you can find out."
Li Shan glanced at Ma Zhou and said, "You are the smartest..." He already knew after sending the message yesterday that the person behind the attack probably had a good background. Li Kai wanted to discuss it after the exam.
Zhu Wei glared at his son fiercely and shouted: "Get out!"
"Zhu Wu hasn't eaten yet. Bring him another bowl of porridge and leave before eating."
Zhu Wei said in a deep voice: "Da Lang is going to take the exam today, so there is no need to pay attention to his affairs."
Li Shan nodded casually, thinking... There's really no need to delay, it's plagiarism anyway... I already memorized it very well last night.
Moreover, Li Shan actually didn't care too much about Yuhuchun. Thanks to the crazy advertising bombing, it was unexpected to be able to make so much money in a short period of time.
For time-travelers, making money is never difficult, but it is easy to be coveted after making so much money... This time is an example.
In ancient times, secret recipes were the foundation of every household. How many families relied on this to make a fortune and rely on this inheritance. For example, soy products were still low-level, but wine making... the benefits were relatively large.
In later generations, money is confidence and hard currency, but in this era, family status, reputation and ability are hard currency and confidence.
Li Shanneng's fame in Chang'an was not due to his ability to make money... He knew this very well.
After dinner, Li Shan and Zhou Shi had already prepared, checked the book boxes countless times, and rode towards Chang'an City with four bodyguards.
Zhu Wei, who had been sent to the entrance of the village, glanced at the worried-looking Zhu family and advised: "Don't hesitate, the big man will definitely be able to go to high school."
"Besides, Dalang is famous in Shandong. Even if he fails to make the list, he will definitely be able to serve as an official."
Zhu Wei's words are right. In the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination system began to be implemented, but it was only to fill in the gaps. The most popular thing was to be recommended by others to become an official. Li Shan had a good reputation and interacted with many famous people, so it was not difficult to become an official.
Ma Zhou and Ling Jing looked at each other, neither of them said a word, but they both knew... Li Shan did not want to join the King of Qin directly, so he had no choice but to take the imperial examination and become an official. This was largely due to the existence of Li Dewu, so as to avoid becoming a potential official in the future.
The King of Qin, the prince’s victim in seizing his legitimate son.
Ma Zhou thought more. He and Li Shan had been together for more than a year. From his past speech and behavior, he could feel Li Shan's subtle rejection of the family... He didn't want to be promoted to an official position. Maybe there was this reason.
.
Zhu sighed: "If it is clear scriptures and clear calculations...but Jinshi Ke..."
"I will definitely get on the exam." Ling Jing said calmly: "Huairen is a man who promises to be successful. If there is no hope, he will wait for another subject. Since he is taking the exam, he must be sure."
Ma Zhou added: "That man has been the captain of Chang'an County for more than half a year. How could Huairen not be wary... Hey, I'm afraid he is playing into Huairen's hands."
This idea is rather dirty... Li Shan, who has already arrived outside the imperial city, can swear that he really has no such plan!
It was Li Dewu who forced me to plagiarize!
Talking about Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Li Shan looked around and saw Li Qianyou and Li Dewu behind him.
"Meet uncle." Li Shan smiled and saluted.
"It's still chilly in early spring, so I don't want to wear more than two layers." Li Qianyou frowned.
"It's okay..." Li Shan turned his head and saw Li Qian and another tall young man.
Li Qianyou introduced: "Huairen has met Li Qian in Anyi before."
"In the corridor outside the official department, Huairen didn't wear enough clothes." Li Qian had a good relationship with Li Kai. The subject he chose was arithmetic, so he had a good impression of Li Shan.
Li Shan snorted. Although there were only a few people taking the imperial examination in the early Tang Dynasty, and although the imperial examination system had just begun, this examination room was too much, right?
Even if there is no special examination room, can't it be in the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites?
If not, go to the Imperial College and borrow a place!
As for taking the exam only in the corridor outside the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
This is too shabby!
The young man beside him turned his head and whispered a few words, and a servant handed him a thick coat.
Li Qian introduced: "This is Li Yiyan from Guzangfang. He is very talented and good at poetry and music. He is Huairen's opponent in this subject, and he also chose the Jinshi subject."
Li Shan took the thick coat and bowed, "Thank you, Brother Li."
"No need to thank you." Li Yiyan's voice was clear and unhurried, "I have heard Li Huairen's name for a long time, and I will continue to nag you a lot in the future."
After chatting for a while, Li Shan searched and searched in his mind, but couldn't remember whether there was such a famous person in history... After all, he was not a history major, nor did he specialize in Tang history, so he naturally didn't know.
Li Yiyan, the younger brother of Li's aunt Zang in Longxi, served as prime minister and assistant during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and was given the title of Duke.
The time was almost up. Officials were calling to check the documents, and the candidates were lined up. Li Shan turned around and looked at Li Dewu, who could no longer see clearly... Wait, you forced me to do so.
