"The results are released! The results are released!"
"Get out of the way!"
As soon as the imperial edict arrived, officials from the Ministry of Rites would copy the names. The results released in the Tang Dynasty were different from those in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
This kind of treatment only comes from a notice board at the entrance of Gongyuan, with name tags like waistbands hung on it. The higher the position, the higher the person's ranking. When it comes to the examination of the system department, take this
If you have a waist badge, you can make an exception and enter the palace on horseback. The section from Zhuque Street to the entrance of the imperial city is the original "parade on horseback".
Students waiting for their results are all waiting here. Every time a name tag is hung, it will cause a burst of discussion.
As someone determined to win the double top prize, Li Mu certainly couldn't miss it. Early on, he arranged for the two dogs to wait here, while he waited with his wife and concubines in the heaven and earth. He had already booked the heaven and earth.
After he completes the palace examination, he will hold a banquet here and receive a wave of gifts.
Waiting, waiting, waiting for a long time, finally, Ergou came back. Seeing that his face was not very good, everyone became suspicious. Could it be that the Marquis did not win the first prize?
Li Mu saw him on the second floor and shouted: "Er Gou, am I at the top of the list?"
"Ah, this..."
Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did I miss the mark?"
Ergou lowered his head and said: "Master Hou, I waited until the end and didn't see your name."
"Didn't you see my name?" Li Mu frowned: "How is that possible? Who is the first person and what is his name?"
"A man named Li Xunhuan. The second best is Ma Zhou, and the third best is Wei Zhan."
"A person named Li Xunhuan?" Li Mu raised the corners of his mouth slightly but said nothing more.
…
Who is Li Xunhuan?
In an instant, it became a topic of common concern among the people in Chang'an City, especially those with daughters of school age. They were all asking about who Li Xunhuan was, where he was from, where he lived now, and what his purpose was. What else could it be? Naturally, they were on the list.
I'm going to catch my son-in-law.
He caught the man, tied him up, and then stripped his daughter naked and threw her on his bed. How important is a woman's reputation. If you see it, she will be yours. The first champion of the Zhenguan Dynasty will definitely become famous in the future. This business is not worth it.
deficit!
There are other people who think about things more deeply. Especially the people who listened to Afang Palace's poems in Taiji Hall today. They are all knowledgeable people. They must be a great person who can write such profound poems.
Talent. And judging from Li Shimin's posture, he also values this person very much and will definitely use him. If he can take the first step and win this person under his command, he can be regarded as a general when fighting against Li Mu in the future.
But the strange thing is that all forces are turning Chang'an City upside down, and they haven't found any information about Li Xunhuan, as if this person does not exist.
At this time, Li Shimin also noticed something unusual in the Taiji Hall. He searched all over the Gongyuan of the Ministry of Rites, but there was no paper of Li Mu. He could find the paper of Xiaoke, but not the papers of Mingjing and Jinshi.
In this case, there are only two possibilities, either Li Mu turned in the paper without writing his name, or he just wrote someone else's name. And there is no one with the same name in the examination paper, so the answer is obvious. This rhetoric style is very similar to
Li Mu’s Li Xunhuan is probably Li Mu.
"Bad boy!"
Li Shimin was furious and was about to call Li Mu to scold him. Eunuch Gao walked up to him and reminded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come. It's time for you to go to the Tai Chi Hall to preside over the palace examination."
"Just in time, I'm looking for him!"
Li Shimin grabbed Li Xunhuan's paper and asked Eunuch Gao to hold it. He changed it into a formal emperor's crown, prepared all the ceremonial guards, and came to Liangyi Hall in a grand manner.
…
The Golden Palace is said to be the lifelong dream of many students, especially since they have just experienced riding a horse through the streets and enjoying the moment of the highest glory in life. Their self-confidence has reached its peak. But at this time, everyone has a doubt in their hearts, where is the number one scholar?
?The number one pick who was supposed to ride a big horse and walk first did not show up. Instead, the second pick Ma Zhou was ranked first. Such strange things happened so openly.
Is there really such a great person in this world, who won the top prize and didn’t want it?
Before the students enter the imperial city and enter the palace gate, officials from the Ministry of Rites will perform rituals and teach the etiquette of meeting the emperor to prevent the palace from losing etiquette. At this time, in the Liangyi Palace, the big bosses of "one government, three provinces, and six ministries"
, have all gathered together, Li Shimin issued an order to let these ten people invigilate the exam first and then mark the papers, and jointly evaluate the top scorer.
Everyone did not expect to see Li Mu so soon. According to ordinary people's thinking, after bragging and failing to do it, how could he have the face to meet others? He had to wait until the matter was over before he came out. But Li Mu not only
When he came out, he seemed to be fine and in a good mood, which was hard to understand.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
Eunuch Gao shouted, and everyone hurriedly straightened their expressions and saluted respectfully. Today is not an ordinary court meeting, but a palace examination. The palace examination is very dignified, and it can also be regarded as a model for future officials, letting them see how to serve as an official.
.If there is no standing statue when standing, and there is no seated statue when sitting, wouldn’t it be detrimental to the dignity of the court?
Li Shimin sat upright on the dragon chair, glanced sideways at Li Mu, snorted, and said: "Some people still dare to appear in front of me? Are they waiting for me to settle accounts with them?"
Everyone looked at Li Mu. Just as Li Mu was about to speak, suddenly a young eunuch ran in in a panic. Eunuch Gao hurriedly scolded: "What are you doing in a hurry? Do you still have any rules?"
The little eunuch was about to cry and said: "Something bad has happened. Lord Zhuangyuan, he, he is missing!"
Everyone was shocked, and Eunuch Gao hurriedly asked: "What is missing? Why is it missing? Could it be possible that the number one scholar was lost in broad daylight? Why didn't you look for it?"
The little eunuch cried: "I looked for it, but it's not there! No one knows the No. 1 Scholar, he didn't come to see the rankings, and he didn't get a waist card. He didn't come to the parade on horseback. It seems, he doesn't want to be the No. 1 Scholar."
"That's unreasonable!" Eunuch Gao walked up to the young eunuch and said, "Is this how you do things? Why don't you go find him?!"
When Wei Zheng heard this, he glanced at Li Mu and turned his head aside. He had already guessed the outcome and didn't want to watch Li Mu's performance.
But when it comes to performances, who can stop watching them if they don’t want to?
Li Mu stood up and said with an ouch, "I remembered, today is the day when the results are released. I should go and take a look at the results. This is great. I don't even know where I got in the exam."
Li Shimin snorted coldly: "You don't need to read the nameless people on the list, right?"
"What? No one on the list?" Li Mu took a breath and said, "Who is so powerful that he actually stole the top spot from me?"
Wang couldn't help it anymore and said with good intentions: "Master Hou, stop talking. I really don't have your name. There's just a baggage, the number one scholar, called Li Xunhuan, not you."
"Prince Shizhong, how do you know my number?"
Wang Meng asked: "No.?"
"Yes, my surname is Li, my given name is Mu, my courtesy name is Xiaoyao, I am also known as General Yunlong, doesn't Wang Shizhong know?"
