Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 388 Start, dismount

As soon as Li Shimin came, he looked for his Yafu in the crowd, but he soon found it.

Because the students in the academy were so conspicuous, the neat clothes immediately attracted all eyes.

"Don't be too polite!"

Li Shimin's voice sounded, even though it was in front of the spacious palace, it was still clearly heard by many people.

"Ma Zhou, you should take them to their seats first."

Shu An spoke to Ma Zhou beside him. Naturally, the students on the steps would not have missed him, not to mention that Li Tai was there.

"Yes, Dean!"

Although Ma Zhou said calmly, there was no peace in his heart beyond the surface.

And Shu An was also walking towards the high steps, and those around who saw Shu An couldn't help stepping out of the way.

"This is Duke An Xuan."

"Although Mr. An Xuan is a little old, he looks very young."

"After all, Duke Anxuan is the founder of health preservation. It's a pity that we can't meet each other."

There was a lot of discussion around, and there was a trace of emotion in the words, even louder than Li Shimin's previous discussion.

After all, this Duke Anxuan has dominated the situation in Chang'an in the past year.

Above the steps, it was Li Shimin and many ministers who looked down at the whole place through the small open space in front of the palace gate.

But facing Shu An, apart from Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others saluted. After all, Duke An Xuan's seniority is not ordinary.

Not long after, Shu An's figure appeared beside Li Shimin, with a mysterious smile on his face.

"I wonder if Yafu is ready?"

Li Shimin's complexion is also full of confidence when he speaks, and the confidence in his words can be said to have infected many people around him.

Of course, this does not include Shu An, Shu An did not answer in a hurry, but his eyes fell on the students at the bottom.

The steps are half a meter wide, and every two students are separated by two steps, which perfectly forms a place for competition.

After all, with so many people watching, there is no possibility of cheating.

Following the emperor's voice, the eyes of those present also fell on Shu An, wanting to know the answer of the well-known Duke Anxuan.

"Since Shimin is so anxious, let's start."

Shu An finally replied slowly under many gazes, with a hint of ease in his words.

"Then let's get started!"

Li Shimin spoke directly without hesitation, anyway, he was not afraid that this sub-father would interfere again.

Shu An nodded, and then sat on a chair, while Li Shimin on the other side was also not to be outdone.

After the two sat down, many ministers behind them also sat down beside them, but their eyes fell on these students.

Compared with the students of Guozijian, more people pay attention to the students of the academy, because the neat clothes are enough to make many people sigh.

"An Xuangong taught the students not to care about their status, and they didn't expect it to be true."

"That's right, the fourth prince is among them, and there are many noble second generations among them, but they are all the same."

Just from the clothes, these ministers have seen a lot of things, after all, what is heard is not what is seen.

What he said now made these ministers' understanding of Shu An even better. Not everyone can agree with each other in words and actions.

It might seem that Duke Anxuan took in those children from farming families just for the sake of fame.

Of course, this is just the thinking of some ministers. For example, Li Shimin would not think so, because he has been to the academy, so he is not unfamiliar with these students.

But the main thing is that Li Shimin knows what kind of person he is as a sub-father, and he has always followed his word.

"Your Majesty has a purpose, all students, please be prepared."

Just as many people were thinking, Wang Degong's duck-like voice sounded, and then he began to talk about the rules of this competition.

These students prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and then there were a total of twenty questions, and each question would be read out.

Then these students will write the answers on the white paper, and finally the names of these students will be blocked and handed over to the ministers present for review.

Of course, these ministers are all people who have never served in the Imperial College, so as not to recognize the handwriting of these students.

Naturally, this rule was established after Shu An and Li Shimin knew about it together.

The biggest effect is naturally fairness. If it is not fair, then there is no need to say more about this competition.

"Father Ya, it's you who come up with the questions first, or me."

While Wang De was reading the rules, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Shu An and said.

"Let Shimin come first."

A smile appeared on Shu An's face and he said, if Li Shimin hadn't been given some hope first, then how could he be desperate.

"Then I'm not impolite."

The smile on Li Shimin's face deepened, and he said that he was looking forward to the expression of this Asian father after seeing those questions.

"Wang De, the first question!"

After Wang finished reading the rules, Li Shimin's voice sounded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although Wang De felt that his voice was a little hoarse, he still replied without hesitation.

"Bring it up!"

Wang De's eyes fell on the two young eunuchs around him and said.

Soon the two young eunuchs brought a pair of papers in their hands, and they spread them out carefully.

The first question began to be revealed, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

"From Mencius to Xunzi, an analysis of the changes in Confucianism in the middle and late Warring States period."

When seeing this topic, even Shu An couldn't help feeling secretly that this emperor is indeed a bit ruthless.

Even if it were him to answer this question, it would take a lot of time and energy.

Obviously, it is impossible for someone who has not done some research on Confucianism to answer.

Even among the students of the Imperial College, there are not many who can answer some questions.

As for the academy, Shu An shook his head inwardly, except for Ma Zhou and the other aristocratic children and Li Tai.

Others basically have no chance of answering this question, and even have a small chance of answering a point.

Presumably, this first question should be chosen by Li Shimin specially, just to give him a warning.

Shu An had already seen through Li Shimin's tricks, but he didn't say anything.

Anyway, the next topic about Confucianism should be simpler.

Li Shimin is not that stupid, after all, even the Guozijian can't get much points for this kind of question.

This time, there is a total of [-] points system, and each question has [-] points. If you can't answer it, then you will lose [-] points.

The answer is estimated to be only one or two points, and it may be difficult to exceed the three-point level.
