Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1667 Palace Exam
It doesn't matter as long as the candidates have real talents and real learning.

A person who has goods in his stomach is naturally not afraid of anything.

Ma Zhou was very uneasy at first, but after hearing Qin Tian's words, he was somewhat relieved.

Then he didn't stop any longer, and left directly.

Time flies a bit fast.

Qin Tian always felt that time passed slowly before, but now that the imperial examinations are over, he feels a little faster instead.

It may be that the danger is finally approaching.

When danger comes, people always hope that time can pass slowly, so that they don't have to face danger so early.

But time really passed quickly, and it was the day of the palace examination in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Qin Tian and his courtiers hurried to the main hall. They didn't talk about any government affairs today, they just wanted to witness something.

Maybe it's the demeanor of those candidates in this year's imperial examination, maybe it's something else.

For example, Li Tai, what he wanted to see was not the demeanor of some candidates, but how Ma Zhou, the chief examiner, would deal with what happened next.

Spring is already in full bloom.

The temperature in the main hall makes people feel very comfortable, and the occasional spring breeze blows, which also makes people feel an indescribable warmth.

Li Shimin sat on top of the main hall, talked to the officials for a while, and then sent someone to bring this year's Jinshi candidates to the hall.

As soon as the order was given, the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice, and not long after, he saw a group of scholars and scholars filing in.

Some of these scholars and scholars are young and vigorous, and some are old, but they are full of energy.

I think there are many scholars who may not finally get their wish and be admitted to Jinshi until this time.

After these Jinshi entered the main hall, Li Shimin took a glance, and soon saw several candidates in front, they were Song Tao and Di Xiaoxu.

After seeing these two people, Li Shimin showed a faint smile. In comparison, Di Xiaoxu belonged to the kind of person with good appearance and temperament. Li Shimin felt that Di Xiaoxu was incomparable with Song Tao. Song Tao's words were refreshing to read.

After looking at the two of them, Li Shimin said: "You are all the pillars of our Great Tang in the future. This year, I chose the imperial examination. I hope you can perform well, and let me see your demeanor."

"Here!"

All the Jinshi responded, and at this time, they were all very excited. All the Jinshi who participated in the palace examination can often be promoted faster in the officialdom, at least than those who have not participated in the palace examination. be quick.

Therefore, when they heard that Li Shimin was going to take the palace examination, they didn't feel that they didn't want to participate. On the contrary, although they were a little nervous, they were all looking forward to it.

And if he could leave some impression on Li Shimin, he would just wait for the opportunity for many years to come.

After speaking in this way, Li Shimin asked a question, and then all the officials withdrew, and those examinees directly did the questions in the main hall. They had to write the article within the specified time. After the article was written, Li Shimin and Bai The official will go to the hall again and conduct some inspections on the spot.

Then, the top three were determined on the spot. As for the others, no ranking was made, and they were directly from Jinshi background. Of course, the previous rankings were also valid.

The so-called imperial examination is just to select the top three.

And it is not impossible for those who ranked lower in the past to become a blockbuster in the palace examination and become the top three.
-
Candidates are taking candidates in the main hall, and the officials followed Li Shimin to leave the main hall and enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden.

At this time, the imperial garden can be said to be full of flowers, and it is comfortable to look around.

And those floral scents make people feel refreshed.

Li Shimin was surrounded by officials.

Some other officials chatted together in twos and threes to enjoy the flowers.

Qin Tian sat and rested in a pavilion in the imperial garden, his eyes were slightly focused, and he looked thoughtful.

At this time, Li Tai came in from the outside. His fat body made it very inconvenient to move. The platform of the gazebo was a bit high, and it was difficult for him to walk.

Qin Tian was sitting in the pavilion, watching Li Tai walk in slowly with his clumsy body.

But just after Li Tai walked in, Qin Tian turned around immediately, ready to leave, as if he didn't want to sit with Li Tai at all, let alone talk to him.

Li Tai, who had just climbed up, was taken aback for a moment, and his whole face twitched. The embarrassment was beyond words. As a prince, he had never been so embarrassed.

However, before Qin Tian walked away, he called to stop Qin Tian.

"Lord Qin, stay here."

Li Tai, the lord, opened his mouth. It would be inappropriate for Qin Tian to leave again. He really stopped, turned around and looked at Li Tai, and said, "What's the matter, lord?"

Li Tai couldn't stand for a long time, so after he called Qin Tian to stop, he sat down on the seat next to him, then looked at Qin Tian and said, "Master Qin, I have something to tell you."

"If the prince has nothing to say, why bother calling me, if the prince has anything to say, just say it."

Li Tai was not angry, and said: "This king is a man with great ambitions, and this king has always been very optimistic about Mr. Qin. I don't know what Mr. Qin thinks of this king?"

The implication is that Li Tai is preparing to woo Qin Tian, ​​or in other words, he is giving Qin Tian a chance. If Qin Tian is willing to accept his wooing, then his previous plan can be abandoned. In comparison, a Qin Tianbi revenge on Ma Zhou To be more useful.

But if Qin Tian didn't know how to praise, then things would be out of control.

Qin Tian naturally understood Li Tai's meaning, but he just smiled and said, "The prince is just the prince."

After finishing speaking, Qin Tian turned around and left. Although he only said a very simple sentence, the meaning was already understood. The prince will always be just the prince, and will never become a prince.

He, Qin Tian, ​​was going to assist the prince.

Qin Tian didn't give Li Tai face very much, but at this moment Li Tai's eyes froze, and an unprecedented killing intent erupted from his whole body.

He wished he could kill Qin Tian now.

But soon, he calmed down again.

"Okay, Qin Tian, ​​you forced me to do this. When I return to the main hall, I want you to look good."

Li Tai said something viciously, then got up with difficulty, left the pavilion and chased after Li Shimin. As a prince, he naturally had to follow Li Shimin closely. At least, he needed to know something about his father's thoughts .

Not long after the officials wandered around, the palace examination was over, and Li Shimin led the people back to the main hall again.
