All the candidates' eyes fell on Li Shimin.
because.
They knew that the time had come to decide life and death.
The examiners have already assigned scores to the examination papers, but it is Li Shimin and Wei Zheng who ultimately decide the rankings.
In fact, it was Li Shimin who made the decision, and Wei Zheng provided reference.
Li Shimin looked through them one by one and nodded slightly. The first ten examination papers were all decent and he was very satisfied.
After reading it, he was a little surprised, so he read it again, and finally glanced at Wei Zheng and several examiners.
Wei Zheng understood immediately. He had already talked with the examiners. At this time, he leaned close to Li Shimin and whispered a few words.
Li Shimin's expression was a little exciting, but then he felt a little regretful. He shook his head and looked through the test papers again.
Finally, I picked up the ink pen and started correcting.
After the candidates waited excruciatingly, about a stick of incense later, the final results came out.
Li Shimin nodded slightly and asked Wei Zheng to read out the final ranking.
Wei Zheng held a booklet and said loudly: "The results of this palace examination have come out. After comprehensively considering the ability of poetry, poetry and policy inquiry, the final ranking was obtained."
There are a total of 109 Jinshi, and all of them will become officials, and now the palace examination actually assigns their rankings.
The top ten are the first round of Jinshi. In the future, they will enter the three provinces and six ministries for training, and the others will be released as officials, starting from small county magistrates.
And among the top ten, there will be the top three, who will be designated as the number one, the second and the third overall, and they will also be the best according to the arrangements of the officials.
Wei Zheng began to announce the rankings of the imperial examination.
Li Bai waited anxiously, but he was not among the top three.
He was a little anxious, but also somewhat understanding, because Ce Wen was really making it up randomly.
but.
He was not among the top ten, which Li Bai couldn't accept and frowned.
However, he did not dare to interrupt Wei Zheng's reading of the rankings. When Wei Zheng finished reading the top thirty-six, but his name, Li Bai, was still not there, he was immediately unconvinced.
He couldn't help but interrupt Wei Zheng and said: "Prime Minister Wei, my surname is Li Mingbai, and my given name is Taibai. Why didn't my name appear in the first thirty-six years of the imperial examination?!"
Wei Zheng said: "Oh, why do you think it will be yours?"
Li Bai said: "The boy won three yuan in a row and entered the Tai Chi Hall as the first in the academy examination. He even thinks that no one in the hall can surpass him in poetry and poetry. If he is a little inferior in policy and question, he should not be unknown in the first thirty six."
Many candidates were stunned for a moment.
They are also a little strange.
The examiners whispered to each other, shook their heads and sighed.
Wei Zheng said: "Okay, I will tell you why you are not among the top thirty-six. In fact, not only thirty-six, but also seventy-two are not there, and you were photographed in the eighty-second place!"
Li Bai was angry.
He released the aura of a master, which immediately surprised Wei Zheng, Old Eunuch Wuji and others.
There was a sound of surprise in Tai Chi Hall.
seem.
No one expected that Li Bai, a ten-year-old child, would have the aura of a master.
So terrifying and so talented.
Li Shimin suddenly became interested in talents, and even thought about taking back the list and rewriting it, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
The Tang Dynasty has no shortage of people who are good at conquering and fighting. There are many great masters and real people. It's just a grandmaster who hasn't grown up yet, so it doesn't matter.
You can't break the rules just because of this.
Wei Zheng was even more unconcerned and glared at him, immediately causing Li Bai's aura to dissipate.
Later.
Wei Zhengdao: "The palace examination seems to focus on poetry and policy questions, but the examination has already begun since you stepped into the Tai Chi Palace. Every word, every move you make will be part of the examination."
"You, Li Bai, are conceited about your talent, arrogance, and arrogance. You actually fell asleep while composing the poem. This is contempt for the imperial examination. Isn't it too much to betray you for being disrespectful in front of the imperial palace?!"
Li Bai's face looked ugly. He just felt it was easy and fell asleep.
Is this considered contempt for the imperial examination?!
He was aroused to have a rebellious mentality. If he hadn't been so angry, he would have wanted to throw up his sleeves and leave.
Wei Zheng added: "The "Quiet Night Thoughts" you wrote is indeed a masterpiece of poetry, and I am ashamed to say it is inferior to it. However, poetry cannot govern a country, your attitude is not good, and your policy is even worse."
Li Bai said angrily: "Although my policy is not good, it is not a mess. If you don't want to appoint me as an official, why do you treat me so lightly?!"
Wei Zheng said: "What is the content of the policy question and line question that I mentioned before?!"
Li Bai said: "How to deal with Goguryeo."
Wei Zheng said: "How did you write it?!"
Li Bai blurted out: "Build the Great Wall to the northwest, transfer Nanfu troops to the Yan region, recruit civilians and food, pay homage first, then send troops, and send people to persuade Goguryeo to surrender. If Goguryeo refuses to obey, send troops to attack."
Many candidates looked strange.
Wei Zheng said: "Haven't you discovered the problem yet?!"
Li Bai shook his head, "I don't understand."
Wei Zheng said: "First of all, you haven't figured out where Goguryeo is in the Tang Dynasty. It is in the northeast of us, with many mountains and forests and cold weather. The soldiers in the south are not accustomed to the climate and are not familiar with the terrain. They are not fighting at all."
"Secondly, he is in the northeast. Why are you building the Great Wall to the northwest? Secondly, everything is waiting to be done now. Even though we have the immortal food given by the Heavenly Master, the conscription of people and food will still hollow out the foundation of our Tang Dynasty.
.”
"Finally, the King of Goguryeo married the Sui Princess. In name, he is still a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty. He has no name for his troops, and you can't do it first with courtesy and then with troops."
Wei Zheng expressed his hatred for the iron that cannot be made into steel, and said: "If you don't know the country, you don't know the north and the south, you don't know the east and the west, you don't care about the status, you don't know how to dispatch troops and generals, and you don't know how to care about the people's livelihood, if you are an official, you will suffer for the people.
"
Li Bai suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
His eyes widened, he didn't expect that he had made so many mistakes.
Wei Zheng said again: "You are very talented and famous, but you have no ability to govern a country, or even to govern a country. You are ranked eighty-two this time because your poetry is truly outstanding and impeccable."
Li Bai was confused at this time and didn't know what to do.
He didn't expect that he would be demoted to be worthless, but everything he said was reasonable and he couldn't refute it.
Ce Wen was indeed made up by him, and he thought he could get away with it, but he didn't expect that he still failed.
And it failed miserably.
Official bosses are not easy to fool!
He suddenly thought of Heavenly Master Li Jue, and then he remembered what Li Jue knew about him. It was really an analysis!
"It turns out that the Heavenly Master has seen through me a long time ago and knows that I am not a minister who governs the country. I can only wield the sword and write ink, but cannot govern a country."
"Master Tianshi is Master Tianshi. I, Li Bai, accept it!"
At this time, Li Bai was completely convinced.
Without Li Jue's previous criticism, he would not have been convinced, but now, he is convinced.
Everything was predestined.
Li Shimin said: "Li Bai, you are very talented, are you willing to study with me in the East Palace?!"
Donggong escort?!
Many people showed envy, even Wei Zheng was stunned.
This official position is not small.
But then Wei Zheng suddenly realized that Li Shimin was interested in Li Bai's strength, talent and reputation, so he asked him to be his companion and slowly cultivate talents for the prince.
Li Bai also understood, but he didn't want to be restrained, let alone a mere companion.
He felt that he was capable of governing the country and being an able minister and official!
Accompanying reading is nothing!
He doesn't want it!
Li Bai shook his head and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I don't have such talent, so I refuse the order!"
No one expected that Li Bai actually refused.
Wei Zheng said: "Li Bai, you can agree to it. I will accompany you to study in the East Palace. You will also have the opportunity to serve as a general or become a prime minister in the future."
Li Bai said: "Prime Minister Wei, I, Li Bai, do not rely on the power of the dragon to become a general or a prime minister, but only rely on my talents to convince everyone. If I am not welcomed today, it is true that I am incompetent."
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Wei Zheng and Li Shimin both frowned, maybe they had stimulated this child prodigy to the point of stupidity?!
Li Bai said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wei, I, Li Bai, have only a reputation for talent and no ability to govern the country. There is no need to arrange an official position for me. I, Li Bai, will never set foot in the court again in this life."
Li Shimin said: "Li Bai, don't be discouraged. I am still very optimistic about you. With a little experience, you will still have a chance in the future."
Wei Zheng also said: "Li Bai, you are still young and don't know how to make decisions or understand the world's major events. You are excusable and should not act on your own initiative."
They all felt that Li Bai was a talent, so they tried to persuade him a little.
However.
Li Bai really saw through it at this time. These people only knew that he was young, and Su Chen had already seen through his future.
Since there is no future in being an official and you may make a mess, then why waste your time and why you need to be infamy for thousands of years.
Go back and worship the Heavenly Master as your teacher, be fascinated by the mountains and rivers, and maybe become an immortal in the future, why not?!
pity?!
Indeed there will be!
But, regret?
That's impossible!
Li Bai stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wei, gentlemen, Li Bai is resigning today. From now on, he will not enter the court, but only stay in the mountains and fields."
"Moon, moon, haha, what a moon." He raised his head, there was light in his eyes, and he laughed loudly: "The white jade capital in the sky, the twelfth floor and the five cities. The immortal caressed my head, and I will be blessed with immortality."
Then, regardless of court etiquette, he turned around and walked out of the palace gate.
Jin Wuwei was about to stop him, but Li Shimin waved his hand and let him leave.
Everyone was surprised.
They were all chewing the last line of the poem that Li Bai read, and they felt like they were floating in the air.
Li Shimin murmured, "Am I going to miss a great talent?!"
Wei Zheng comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, Li Bai has poetic talent. With his previous "Silent Night Thoughts" and this last poem, he can be called a poetic fairy. However, I select scholars through the imperial examination, and poetry cannot rule the country.
Your Majesty is right!"
Li Shimin nodded.
evening.
Harem.
Li Shimin and the Queen mentioned the matter of selecting scholars through the imperial examination, specifically mentioning Li Bai, and felt it was a pity.
However, I have no regrets.
The old eunuch Wuji suddenly pushed open the door and entered.
"Your Majesty, after Li Bai left the palace, he left Chang'an directly and headed to Yunyuan Mountain. An hour later, there was news that there were pilgrims on Yunyuan Mountain, and the Heavenly Master accepted Li Bai as a registered disciple!"
hiss!
Li Shimin suddenly took a breath of cold air, stood up in shock, and regretted it endlessly.
"The Immortal caressed my head, and I tied my hair and received immortality. It turns out, it's true. I rejected the Immortal's apprentice, what should I do?!"
Yunyuan Mountain.
Hualong Temple.
Su Chen officially accepted Li Bai as his disciple, and he also obtained the magical power [Qinglian Sword Song].
In addition, during this period of time, he has helped pilgrims to interpret their fortunes and practiced the Holy Grade Heavenly Immortal Art. At this time, he has accumulated a large amount of mana and Taoism in his body.
It has been practiced for 7500 years.
With the blessing of the golden bloodline, combined with the immortal golden body of the Holy Emperor, the magical power of the Dragon King's demon-slaying sword and the Green Lotus Sword Song is absolutely earth-shattering.
to this end.
Su Chen checked it out, and the clouds rose up in the mist. In mid-air, facing the Jinghe River in the distance, a magnificent sword energy was cut out from the air.
"Qinglian Sword Song."
Demon Slaying Sword, Qinglian Sword Song.
The magnificent sword energy swept away, and at this time, on the Jinghe River, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and an extremely handsome man emerged from the water surrounded by Yaksha.
"I am going to visit the human world to see who rules the world now!"
"Huh? He Fang Xiaoxiao dares to attack me secretly!"
He looked towards the direction where the sword energy was coming!
