Even officials are no exception. All officials before going to court got the latest newspapers and lowered their heads to read them.
"Your Majesty wants those Jinshi to face the Holy Spirit today. It seems that there will be another assessment."
Changsun Wuji came up to Fang Xuanling: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"
Fang Xuanling said: "Don't worry. Yesterday, the group of scholars blocked the Gongyuan to see Mr. Zhao's test paper. Then His Majesty summoned these scholars to the palace to meet the saint. Either His Majesty wanted to convince these scholars. Taking it orally, or it was Mr. Zhao¡¯s idea.¡±
"Why?"
Fang Xuanling just smiled and said nothing more. It was impossible for him to say that. In fact, when he was in Qingshui Village before, Zhao Chen had mentioned that he should add a palace examination after the imperial examination.
???????????????????? And this time, those scholars were indeed hit by the muzzle of the gun, so how could Mr. Zhao be afraid?
As for the papers, it is impossible for these scholars to see them. Your Majesty has even classified Mr. Zhao's papers as secrets, because some of the actions in those papers cannot be seen by the aristocratic family, otherwise the aristocratic family will know about it and will definitely take precautions.
Soon, the morning session begins.
Li Shimin also started handling government affairs as normal. Everyone was present in the main hall, such as Prince Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling.
Except for the sick Qin Qiong and some important ministers who are too old, most of them are above the court.
What is commendable about Li Shimin is that he did not kill heroes indiscriminately.
After the government affairs were settled, Li Shimin said again: "I heard yesterday that the scholars from Chang'an have quite some objections to the ranking of Jinshi subjects."
Fang Xuanling immediately answered: "Your Majesty, those scholars are not convinced that Mr. Zhao can become the top scholar in high school."
Among the top ten, there are scholars from seven clans, including Lu Cheng, Cui Jiongyuan, and other clans such as Zheng. However, Zhao Chen can step on them and become the number one scholar. These people must be unconvinced.
Li Shimin said: "In that case, call all of them to court."
Soon, Lu Cheng and others filed into the hall.
Lu Cheng and Cui Jiongyuan were in front. As soon as they entered the hall, the eyes of the civil and military officers standing on both sides made them feel a little nervous.
The majesty and solemnity in the main hall are still very oppressive.
However, Lu Cheng, Cui Jiongyuan and others were a little excited. Sitting in the distance in front was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. If they performed well, they would definitely be able to achieve success this time!
"I'll wait to see your Majesty."
Li Shimin glanced at these people and suddenly frowned: "Where is Mr. Zhao?"
Lu Cheng and others were confused, Mr. Zhao, Zhao Chen?
Why does Your Majesty call Zhao Chen Mr. Zhao?
The eunuch next to him was sweating profusely: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao doesn't seem to have woken up yet."
Wow!
There was some uproar in the main hall, and the clan officials in the rear were a little angry, but Fang Xuanling and others were no longer surprised.
Li Shimin felt helpless for a while: "Go and urge me."
"yes."
The eunuch hurriedly went out, and then Li Shimin looked at Lu Cheng and others.
"You, you, can be regarded as outstanding figures in this imperial examination. Come and give me a banquet."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The eunuch next to him brought the prepared table, which was a small table. Then Lu Cheng and others knelt in front of the table one by one, just like the kneeling ceremony in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Lu Cheng and others were all worried, and Li Shimin also asked casually: "Lu Cheng, are you the Fan Yang Lu family?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin nodded: "Fan Yang, Lu family, everyone is here too. In that case, please tell me, what is the current border situation of the Tang Dynasty?"
Lu Cheng's heart trembled, and he could only start to grumble: "Your Majesty, I think our Tang Dynasty can be worry-free. The grassland to the north"
Some courtiers in the court also nodded after hearing this. Lu Cheng's answer was acceptable, which was very flattering.
Li Shimin, on the other hand, had an expressionless face. Lu Cheng's answer was like flattery, always talking about how powerful the Tang Dynasty was, but in fact, he didn't mention anything about the situation on the border.
It's like scratching an itch, but it never hits the mark.
Compared with Mr. Zhao, there is a world of difference.
Li Shimin casually asked the others again and lost interest.
The hall became quiet. After a while, Li Shimin asked, "Why hasn't Mr. Zhao come yet?"
Lu Cheng and others, heartThe feeling is getting worse.
At this moment, a figure came in yawning.
"coming!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed, and when Zhao Chen came to the main hall, Shi Shiran clasped his fists and said, "See your majesty."
As soon as Zhao Chen appeared, all the officials' eyes were focused on Zhao Chen.
Wei Zheng couldn't help but snorted, he just couldn't stand Zhao Chen.
But he couldn't find fault with Zhao Chen. They said he had to pass the imperial examination. Now Zhao Chen passed the imperial examination directly and was still the top scholar. They said they wanted to solve the case in Dali Temple and solved it directly within an hour.
How else to choose?
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao is here, please give me a seat."
Someone brought the table again, Zhao Chen frowned: "Your Majesty, I can't get used to sitting on this, just bring me a chair."
Lu Cheng, Cui Jiongyuan and others were stunned for a while. How dare they make demands to His Majesty?
And Li Shimin smiled and said: "Okay, go move a chair."
The chair came and Zhao Chen sat down. Lu Cheng and others took a look and saw that he and others were all kneeling, while Zhao Chen was sitting, much taller than them.
Li Shimin said: "Since everyone is here, let's be direct. Lu Cheng, you blocked the gate of Gongyuan yesterday, are you not satisfied with the ranking?"
Lu Cheng quickly stood up in fright: "Your Majesty, it's not that you are dissatisfied, it's just that we are curious about Zhao Chen's answer."
"sit down."
Lu Cheng sat down obediently.
"I summon you to the palace today to make you convinced. Mr. Zhao is here. You can ask whatever you want. Each of you will ask a question. Then Mr. Zhao will ask you a question. If you lose, are you convinced?"
"Clothes."
"Okay, in that case, let's get started."
Lin Dai cupped his hands towards Zhao Chen and said, "Mr. Zhao, how about we ask your majesty to give you something, and then we write a poem based on it?"
Zhao Chen yawned: "Okay, let Your Majesty set the question."
Some of the officials in the main hall frowned when they saw Zhao Chen like this.
"This person does have some talent, and his current policies in solving crimes and being a scholar are good, but his poems and songs are another matter."
"I can't believe this person can be so powerful."
Some of the courtiers in the main hall thought so in their hearts.
And Li Shimin thought for a while: "Then it's better to use wine as the theme."
Lin Dai pondered for a while, then directly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have you."
"Read it and listen."
Lin Dai said directly: "He Langchao faces the Du family flowers. He sings loudly at first but not early in the morning. The scenery is so beautiful that there is no two ears, and the bamboo wind is tired of the new year. The ears are always singing to capture, and tonight the autumn is extended to worship the holy pilgrimage. The ripples contain nouns. Hold hands, sit and cook lamb to please your friend."
