I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 517 The first imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty!

Although I thought so in my heart, I definitely couldn't say it out of my mouth.

Since the emperor thought he was keeping a loyal vigil—

That is, nothing wrong!
"Your Majesty works too hard and often has nightmares, so I just thought about helping to guard the palace."

Xu Fenglei put on his shoes and got up, he said hesitantly,
"After all, we are considered half Taoist priests. Maybe we have the ability to exorcise evil spirits. Those evil spirits dare not get close."

This made up, he himself believed it!

Li Shimin put down the ink pen and turned to look at him.

"It's rare that you have this kind of heart. I really didn't have a nightmare yesterday."

Li Er sighed softly,
"Maybe you really have the potential to be a door god."

Xu Fenglei chuckled, but didn't answer.

Snapped!
A cigarette flicked over.

"Hey...it's not going to happen."

Xu Fenglei took the cigarette and hurriedly said,
"Smoking is harmful to the body. I don't know how much smoke and dust I have eaten during this journey. It hurts the lungs."

"Recently, I should smoke less to let my body recover."

Pack after pack last night, I almost vomited!
Now that I see this thing, I feel nauseous...

Hearing this, Li Shimin was slightly taken aback, and also took back the smoke that had just reached the candle, and put it back in his pocket.

"You're right, smoke less."

he sighed,

"But I don't smoke, I feel so panicked... Unknowingly, I have become dependent on this thing, and I have to take it when I have nothing to do."

"From today, quit smoking!"

Xu Fenglei smiled.

"How many days?" he asked.

Li Shimin stared.

"... three days!"

He said angrily,

"Persist for three days, I can still do it!"

"Let's go, Jingde and the others should still be asleep, since you are awake, go out with me for a walk."

"Okay." Xu Fenglei stepped forward.

By the sea pool.

"Before, I felt that death was a very distant thing, as if I would never face it."

Li Shimin looked at the calm lake and said softly,
"It wasn't until I went to Fengchan Taishan this time that I felt that death is actually not far away, it's right there."

"Three emperors and five emperors, Qin Huang, Han Wu, they all made immortal feats, but where are they now? There is only a remnant stele left, and it needs constant maintenance by the kings of later generations, otherwise it would have been damaged and worn out long ago."

Xu Fenglei blinked.

Well, Li Er also emo?
It seems necessary to encourage him.

"Return to Your Majesty, they are all here!"

Xu Fenglei said sonorously,
"In the annals of history, in people's hearts!"

"I've heard a saying that people die three times."

"The first time was when he died. At this time, he can no longer move, can no longer think, and can only lie there and turn into a corpse."

"The second time, when people attended his funeral, everyone knew the news of his death, and they all came to his funeral. After that, everyone knew that he was dead, and no one would visit again, and no one would think about it. Get him a drink or two."

"The third time is when it is completely forgotten by everyone."

Li Shimin frowned, and turned to look at Xu Fenglei.

"When the last person who remembers him forgets him, then the only bit of information about him in this world will be erased."

Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,

"At this time, he is completely dead."

Li Shimin was shocked and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Majesty, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are lucky, and Qin Huang, Han Wu are lucky."

Xu Fenglei said,

"Because they are emperors, they are recorded in the annals of history. Even after tens of thousands of years, some people still remember their names and know their achievements."

"In a sense, if they live in people's hearts, they will live forever!"

"And you are also lucky."

"You are also an emperor, and you are an outstanding emperor. From the current point of view, as long as you don't slip and do things that are perverse, you will be immortal!"

"Then you, too, will live forever."

After hearing these words, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing.

"Your mouth...you really know how to speak!"

He shook his head and laughed,

"Originally, I was quite depressed, but after you said that, I feel a little relieved."

Xu Fenglei smiled slightly.

"It's not about saying it, it's about the fact."

He said seriously,

"It's like Du Ruhui. Although he is gone, his achievements are still there. The history books will truthfully record his achievements, and future generations will praise him and praise him."

"Thousands of years later, his name will still be known to the world, and he will live forever."

"So, Your Majesty, don't be too sad. If you really miss him, set up a monument for him and count his achievements one by one."

"In this way, his eternal life will be more solid."

Li Shimin's eyes brightened slightly.

"Yes... yes! You're right, you're absolutely right!"

He applauded,
"I want to personally write a monument for Keming, so that his name will last forever!"

"As long as my name is still there, his name will never disappear!"

"Go, go! Go back and write, write now!"

After the words fell, Li Er ran towards the palace, looking like he couldn't wait for a moment.

The corners of Xu Fenglei's mouth rose slightly.

This wave of consolation by myself... out of 9.9, [-] is not too much, right?
"Eternal life, live forever in people's hearts."

He also clenched his fists, looked at the sparkling lake, and said softly,
"Er Cao's body and name will be destroyed, and the rivers and rivers will not be abandoned."

"I hope I can become Jiang He too..."

……

Seven days later, Du Ruhui was buried.

For this reason, Emperor Li Shimin quit the court and presented a monument in person, engraving Du Ruhui's achievements in his life on the monument for historians to record.

two months later.

The Feng Chan team slowly returned to Chang'an City, and the first thing the officials did as soon as they returned to Chang'an was to pay their respects to Du Ruhui.

After death, it is extremely sad.

After more than half a month, the officials and common people gradually looked away, and an extremely important event for Datang also kicked off at this time.

Datang Academy.

Because the enrollment has not yet started, most places in the huge school are still empty.

But in one of the classrooms, people came in one after another. After bowing respectfully to the two people on the podium, they searched in front of the desks and finally took their seats.

"Teacher, what do you think of these candidates?"

Changsun Wuji pointed to the people sitting on the desks, and asked with a smile,
"This is the result of my hard work over the past year. It can be said that I have inspected and selected everyone."

"Their knowledge is above the standard, and the outstanding ones are even more impressive."

Xu Fenglei shook his head when he heard the words.

"Not much," he replied.

Changsun Wuji's face froze, and his smile stopped abruptly.

"Many wear brocade robes, but few wear rough linen."

Xu Fenglei said softly,

"There are quite a few of these people who didn't pass the imperial examination and were directly recommended by their parents to be officials."

"For them, the imperial examination is actually an additional obstacle, and there is a possibility that they will not be able to pass."

"However, what I want is this obstacle. Only with this obstacle can we give more chances to the humble leaders."

Changsun Wuji was startled.

"The Grand Master wants to change the pattern of the world."

He stroked his beard and said,

"This is a big project..."

The rich and noble families are not so easy to shake.Their heritage means that no matter what the rules are, they will have more and greater opportunities than ordinary people.

"A thousand miles begins with a single step."

Xu Fenglei laughed,
"The first step of a thousand miles, start with this step, start with... well, this kid."

His finger went over.

Changsun Wuji followed his hand and looked over, only to see a young man wearing coarse linen clothes at the door, with a parcel on his back.

As soon as he entered, there was a sour smell that wafted in, causing many people to frown.

The young man seemed to know that he had a strange smell on his body, so he lowered his head in shame.

"Meet the two chief examiners."

He walked to the podium, not daring to get too close, and bowed his hands in salute.

"Go."

Xu Fenglei didn't mind the smell on his body, and said with a smile,

"Find your seat and sit down, I wish you a good grade."

In summer, a little body odor is normal.

As long as it's not a rich and well-clothed young master brother, there will be some smell on him more or less, and if he is a farmer, the smell will be even greater.

This young man has thick joints and rough fingers. It looks like he often does farm work.

"Thank you...thank you, the examiner."

The young man was obviously flattered, thanked him repeatedly, and then went back to find his own position.

"Hey, what's the smell..."

"Did you jump into the latrine? This smell..."

"Stay far away, it will affect my performance in the exam..."

"..."

"I'm sorry, I just rushed over after finishing my farm work... I'm sorry..." Everyone was disgusted, and the young man could only say sorry repeatedly.

"Farmers, can you also take the imperial examination?"

"Haha, that's strange. Are you literate? You can't even write your own name, can you?"

"..."

Several examinees made a fuss, all making fun of it.

Xu Fenglei looked at them with a hint of displeasure.

Look down on other farmers?
Anyone with a brain can know that if he can sit here as a farmer and be selected together with you, then he must have something special!

"quiet."

He slapped the gavel and said in a deep voice,

"The examination room is an important place, no noise is allowed."

"Anyone who dares to make noise will be disqualified from the exam."

With an order, the examination room was instantly quiet, and no one dared to make any noise.

This time, it's really 'my mother, it will affect my career'!
The young man also benefited from the silence, and hurriedly lowered his head to find his own position.

When he found out that he was the last one in the back row, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

He himself breathed a sigh of relief.

clang!
A bell sounded.

"Auxiliary machine, close the examination room."

Xu Fenglei ordered.

"it is good."

As the deputy chief examiner, Changsun Wuji naturally obeyed, and went to close the door as soon as he raised his leg.

But just as the door was about to close, someone suddenly ran over.

"me……"

"And me! Still...the exam hasn't started yet, right?"

The person who came was dressed in silk, which was originally a cool attire, but now he was sweating profusely.

"Uh……"

Changsun Wuji looked at Xu Fenglei.

"The exam has already started, you are late."

Xu Fenglei opened the examination paper and responded blankly,
"Go back! Be early next time."

The young man in silk clothes froze.

"Your Excellency the examiner, I'm just one step late, just one step..."

He hurriedly begged,
"I just heard the bell ringing, it should be just the beginning?"

"Please accommodate me, my father is Cui..."

boom!
Xu Fenglei patted the gavel again, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

"I said, the exam has already started, and you are late."

He stared at the silk-clothed youth and said coldly,
"go out."

"I don't want to say it a second time."

The atmosphere in the venue instantly cooled down.

"I'm just late for a moment, can't this be released?"

The silk-clothed youth frowned, but still cupped his hands and said,
"Examiner, as I said, my father is Cui..."

He wanted to report himself, but Xu Fenglei interrupted him forcibly, and scolded:
"I don't care what you do! It's useless even if you come to remind me of my life! If the king of heaven comes, it won't work!"

"You are late, you just don't pay attention to this exam! You just don't care about the imperial examination!"

"Since you don't like the imperial examination, why do you still step into this classroom?"

"Who is your father? I'm not interested in knowing, but if your father's name is really useful, I can go to your father directly. What are you doing here?"

"Now, immediately, get out of here!!"

Get out!
Xu Fenglei had already roared these three words, and the powerful momentum directly overwhelmed the silk-clothed youth.

At any rate, he was also the grand master of the court, and even led troops to destroy the country!
How can such a young man who is ignorant of the world be able to withstand the burst of murderous aura in his body?

"me……"

The silk-clothed young man's legs gave way, and he turned around and ran away.

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Master, this... isn't it a bit extreme?
He also knew the young man's father, who was an official in the same dynasty... If he didn't look up and look down, if it was him, he would let him go.

But seeing Xu Fenglei's stern and selfless appearance, Changsun Wuji didn't dare to say anything, and closed the door with a bang.

Xu Fenglei glanced down.

All the candidates who were relaxed just now are all silent now, not even daring to fart.

That power is too strong!
Anyone who was scolded like that would have their legs trembling in fright!
"Talk about the discipline in the examination room, it's very simple, just a few."

Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,

"First, no cheating."

"Second, no whispering."

"Third, when the exam time is up, you must hand in the paper immediately, and you can't write a single word."

"No matter which one of these three items is violated, it will be regarded as a violation of the imperial examination regulations, the test paper will be directly invalidated, and I will be severely punished! The maximum crime is exile!"

"Have you heard everything clearly?"

All the students nodded obediently.

This guy... Take a test, and he may have rectified himself...

So scary.

"Now, let's start the exam."

Xu Fenglei remained expressionless and said,

"Auxiliary machine, hand out the test papers."

"Yes." Changsun Wuji took the examination papers and handed them out one by one.

At the same time, his eyes also fell on the examination paper, and he was slightly taken aback.

Just... one question? !
