Tables have been prepared one by one, and pens, inks, paper and inkstones have also been placed on the tables.
After getting close, eunuchs will come naturally. As the name of Lu Chengqing, the examination doctor, is called, more and more rural tribute candidates will come out.
A eunuch would lead them to sit down in front of an empty table, and wait until all the dozens of people were seated.
At this moment, several ministers and ministers are still frequently making suggestions to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor will listen to their voices and suggestions.
"... Therefore, I think it is appropriate to test the "Book of Changes", "Shu", "Gongyang Zhuan", "Gu Liang Zhuan" and other small classics to test the knowledge of all the scholars."
"I think that studying great classics such as "The Book of Rites" and "Zuo Zhuan" is the right way..."
Li Shimin stroked his long beard and was silent, silently looking at the ministers who jumped out to express their opinions.
Among these ministers, their surnames were either Wang, Cui or Zheng. In short, most of them were ministers who were inextricably related to the big families in Shandong and were the most active.
Li Shimin frowned slightly impatiently, and his eyes fell on a certain fat and strong general, who was eager to try. He understood instantly.
At this moment, the salivating civil servants suddenly heard a loud, rough voice.
"Your Majesty, Lao Cheng has some ideas about this palace examination."
"???" The courtiers who were chattering just now were all silent. They all twisted their necks and looked somewhere.
Then I saw the notorious General Cheng standing up. Standing among the civil servants, he looked so fat and strong, standing out from the crowd.
Because this was a palace examination, all the military ministers thought they had no right to speak, so they simply gathered together to brag and spank in a low voice, feeling depressed.
Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but cheer up, and one or two of them looked energetically at Cheng Yaojin, who was striding to the center of the hall.
"What kind of trouble does this old guy want to make?" Li Ji couldn't help but feel happy, and smiled secretly at Chai Shao beside him.
Chai Shaoshen nodded in agreement, stroking his thick beard, with an expectant expression on his face.
"Originally, the candidates recommended by his family, Cheng Sanlang, had to be at the top of the imperial examination list. However, it made those guys very uncomfortable, and that's why we had this imperial examination..."
"With Cheng Yaojin's temper, this scene would be abnormal if he didn't make a scene."
The moment Li Shimin saw Cheng Yaojin running out, he was secretly relieved. Sure enough, this is called tacit cooperation, and the king and his ministers get along well with each other.
"...General Cheng, this is a palace examination. It has nothing to do with you, a military minister, right?" A civil servant said loudly with an unhappy face.
Cheng Yaojin laughed, looked at the civil servant and shouted.
"My old Cheng family is also a family with heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy, but it was Cheng who had the talent to become a famous general that led him to join the army."
Hearing the word "famous general", several military ministers who were really famous generals or considered themselves famous generals glared at this shameless man unhappily.
"Even if you, Duke Lu, have passed down your poetry and calligraphy to your family, you are also a military minister now. The imperial examination..."
Cheng Yaojin pointed his big hand towards the very distinctive civil servant squatting among the pile of civil servants: Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
"What's wrong with Wu Chen? Look at that person squatting over there. Isn't he also a civil servant?"
"???" Zhang Liang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, who was squatting slightly drowsily in the shift, suddenly had a black line on his face. Who the hell is squatting...
Forget it, my identity is very embarrassing now. I am a civil servant who was born as a military general, and I am not a person on both sides.
Zhang Liang glared at Old Man Cheng fiercely and continued to doze off with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes closed.
"If His Majesty hadn't thought that it would be a waste of talent to put me, Old Cheng, in the position of a civil servant, you might be sure that your position would be mine."
Cheng Yaojin's finger almost poked the tip of the nose of the Minister of Rites, Zheng Shilang.
"Gong Lu, please don't act recklessly. The palace examination is a very important matter..."
"What's wrong with the palace examination? You can interrupt in the palace examination, but I, Old Cheng, can't interrupt?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter, and then a group of military ministers joined in and started to cheer.
"That's why you can intervene, but we can't."
"Haha...I won't interrupt, why do you like to insert your feet?"
"You, you are simply disgraceful..."
The corners of Li Shimin's eyes twitched for a while, but they soon returned to normal. He looked down at the noisy court below with such a serious expression.
In my heart, I have to admire Lao Cheng's ability to make trouble. A typical stinky snail can ruin a pot of soup.
However, such a messy scene made Li Shimin sit at ease behind the court case, calm on the surface, but enjoying the scene with pleasure in his heart.
"Here we go again..." Fang Xuanling rolled her eyes in frustration and shook her head helplessly. There was really nothing she could do.
Changsun Wuji, who was on the side, knew that something was going to go wrong when he saw the end of that guy Cheng Yaojin.
Now looking at the chaos in the court, he really couldn't complain. He wanted to stand up and say something, but after his eyes glanced at the silent man behind the imperial court, his heart moved and he almost took a step back.
Steps out.
At this time, Lu Chengqing, the official's examination doctor, had already arrived at the entrance of the hall and saw everyone in the hall gathered together and gesticulating.
When his ears heard the frequent shouts, curses and taunts, Lu Chengqing was immediately confused.
At this time, Li Shimin, who had kept his face expressionless and enjoyed the show for a long time, finally noticed the figure standing at the entrance of the palace.
After coughing twice, he stood up, picked up the tea bowl on the table, thought about it for a while, then put it down, and hit it hard with his big hand.
#####
Under the pressure of the wise and powerful Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the order of the entire court was finally under control.
A group of civil and military officials were so reprimanded by His Majesty that they turned red in the face and retired from their posts in shame.
"...Since you all have your own opinions, it would be better for me to answer this question myself." As he spoke, Li Shimin picked up his pen without any explanation.
The eunuch next to him handed the examination questions written by Li Shimin to Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Personnel.
Changsun Wuji looked at the test questions with a little astonishment in his eyes. Finally, he respectfully held the questions prepared by Li Shimin towards the layman.
After Dr. Lu Chengqing took it from him, he opened it and saw this seemingly unpopular question. He couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Changsun Wuji.
"Go quickly, don't delay the auspicious time of the palace." Changsun Wuji explained with a helpless sigh.
Lu Chengqing nodded, turned around and walked away quickly...
At this moment, in front of the Danchi of Taiji Hall, all the provincial tribute candidates were sitting quietly in front of their desks.
Looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I looked up from time to time towards the Tai Chi Hall, which seemed to be unable to see the whole picture even if I looked up.
