As soon as Li Bai's test paper fell, someone came to pick it up.
After the two sticks of incense were burned out, everyone handed in their test papers. Although some people still had not finished, they still had to hand in their papers.
Once a student corrects a test paper here, they will immediately announce the score.
This is their imperial examination.
Half an hour later, after repeated checks by many officials and invigilators, the poem and its ranking were written and then sent to Li Shimin and Wei Zheng.
Li Bai suddenly appeared on the list.
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng both happily agreed and nodded.
Li Shimin also took out a book of Li Bai's poems, read it over and over again, sealed it with a seal, and left a line of words on it.
This sentence will surely go down in history.
Li Shimin announced the results of his poems and songs. Some people were happy, while others were worried. Only Li Bai was calm and composed.
There is no doubt that he is the strongest, there is no doubt about it.
In everyone's envious eyes, he was very calm and very happy, which is a matter of course.
Then came the interrogation.
This is Li Shimin's problem.
He looked around, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"The Tang Dynasty respects force and governs the world with benevolence and righteousness. However, the reason why the Tang Dynasty has not yet dominated the world is because our borders have not yet been conquered, especially Goguryeo, the Turks in the Western Regions, Gaochang and other countries, all of which are hostile to us.
Watching with eager eyes."
"I have just conquered the Eastern Turks and Gaochang. The Turks are a threat. Now I have the power to destroy the Turks. They will not provoke me at this time. But Goguryeo has always been the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty. I have been worried about it.
How to deal with the Goguryeo people who are becoming more and more powerful but unruly. Do you have any good ideas?!"
All the students were confused by this question.
Only a few people can remain calm or be ecstatic.
One of their family members was an official of the dynasty, and one of them was a cousin, the former Minister of Household Affairs of the Tang Dynasty, now Honglu Temple.
Under their influence, they more or less understood the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Goguryeo Empire, and what it was like when the Tang Dynasty dealt with Goguryeo.
Now is the most appropriate time.
Most people, like Li Bai, know nothing about this matter.
Although Li Bai's father was an official, he knew nothing about national affairs and naturally would not explain it to Li Bai.
Li Bai was young and energetic, focusing on poetry, calligraphy, painting, and swordsmanship, and did not care about national affairs.
At this moment, he was completely shocked.
He didn't.
He doesn't know what to do.
The time for two sticks of incense passed by in a flash, and Li Bai had no choice but to write another strategy document.
Everyone handed in their test papers one after another.
The talented people waiting outside the field were waiting there nervously. When they saw the serious teachers, their expressions changed and their emotions moved accordingly.
Even Li Bai is not exempt from vulgarity.
Looking at the excellent strategies, the examiners nodded lightly. However, when they saw the lame ones or those talking nonsense, they would involuntarily shake their heads, looking very disappointed.
Smoking
This changed their mood.
Not long after, all the test papers were sorted out and submitted to His Majesty Li Shimin's imperial court.
All the talented people looked at Li Shimin.
the reason is simple.
They all understand that this is a life and death battle.
Although the examiners are all grading the test papers, the final ranking is still determined by Wei Zheng and Li Shimin.
In fact, this was Li Shimin's idea, and Wei Zheng thought so too.
Li Shimin scanned them one by one, and then nodded gently. The questions on these ten test papers were all in line with the requirements, which made him very happy.
After reading it once, he was slightly startled, then read it again, and then turned his attention to Wei Zheng and others.
Wei Zheng understood immediately. He had just finished talking to the examiner and whispered something in Li Shimin's ear.
Li Shimin's face became very excited, but soon showed a hint of regret, and he continued to look at the test paper in his hand.
Finally, he started revising with a brush.
After a long wait, we finally have the final results.
Li Shimin nodded, and then asked Wei Zheng to announce his name.
Wei Zheng held a book in his hand and said loudly: "The results of this session's imperial examination have been determined. Together with talent and learning, the literary list of this session has been finally determined."
One hundred and nine scholars are all civil and military officials, and this imperial examination is to determine their ranking.
Ten of them are all number one, and they will go to three provinces and six divisions to hone their skills, and the rest will start from a small prefect.
Moreover, among these ten people, there are three people, namely the number one scholar, the second person and the third person in the overall list. These three people are the best candidates in the court.
As Wei Zheng spoke, he was about to announce this year's court rankings.
Li Bai sat there with a look of anticipation on his face, but he did not enter the top three.
He was anxious, but he also understood that Ce Wen had indeed made it up.
However.
Li Bai couldn't bear it, and his face became ugly.
But he couldn't disturb Wei Zheng from reading out his own ranking, so after Wei Zheng looked at the thirty-six names, he still didn't see Li Bai's name, which made him very depressed.
"Prime Minister Wei, my surname is Li and my name is Bai, and my given name is Taibai. But why is my name not included in this imperial examination?"
Wei Zheng said: "Hey, how did you know you would be here?"
Li Bai said: "I got three places in the martial arts examination and got the top prize. In terms of poetry and poetry, I think I am the best. Even if I am not as good as him, I will not be unknown among the top thirty-six."
Many people were stunned.
They also felt something strange.
But those in charge of the assessment shook their heads and sighed.
Wei Zheng said: "Okay, then let me tell you why you did not enter the top thirty-six. In fact, you are not even thirty-six or seventy-two, but you are ranked eighty-two!"
Li Bai was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.
A powerful grandmaster aura emanated from his body, making Wei Zheng, Eunuch Wuji and others stunned.
In the Tai Chi Hall, shocked voices rang out one after another.
It seems...
No one thought that Li Bai, just a teenager, could have such a terrifying aura.
So terrifying, such a genius.
Li Shimin's heart moved. He also liked this talent very much. He even considered whether to rewrite the list, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.
The most important thing in the Tang Dynasty is the masters who can fight. There are many great masters and real people. A mere grand master who is not yet fully mature is not worthy of attention at all.
