Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Seeing that the two princesses Changle and Jinyang rode so well, the ministers were naturally not convinced.

Are you not as good as a child.

Moreover, Li Shimin admired it so much, he would definitely ride it himself.

Whatever the emperor likes, the courtiers must follow suit.

"I'm going to buy one."

"For such a fair price, I'll buy three."

"Everyone in my family wants to buy it."

Li Shimin was satisfied that his sales pitch worked.

These people have to buy, and the first batch of bicycles is going to be out of stock.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with the court today, all my dear friends, let's go back to buy a bicycle."

Li Shimin laughed.

"Emperor Shengming."

After the ministers shouted, they rushed to the big health care to buy.

After a while, they all learned that the streets of Chang'an City are full of bicycles.

Li Shimin made a fortune.

In the blink of an eye, autumn

The imperial examination that Du Ruhui is in charge of is ready.

On this day, Du Ruhui and Yu Shinan entered the palace and reported to Li Shimin.

Say the first exam is ready.

It just started at the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Li Shimin was overjoyed and ordered them to be a complete success.

Du Ruhui took the lead, and the first subject began.

According to the new imperial examination system, the exam will take three days, and then the ranking will be released outside Chengtian Gate.

On the same day,

A group of scholars crowded outside Chengtian Gate, waiting for the official department to come out and release the list.

Outside the door was densely packed with people.

In addition to the scholars waiting for their grades, there are also the people of Chang'an City and foreign envoys.

Datang's first imperial examination, everyone in the world is paying attention.

An eunuch and an official from the official department came out, and the list was posted on the city wall.

A total of 300 people were admitted to the imperial examination.

The students of Guozijian claim to be the most knowledgeable, but there are very few on the list.

There are many students from Lanxiang School on the list.

But the strange thing is that none of the first [-] people know each other.

Neither a student of the Imperial Academy nor a student of Lanxiang School.

It made everyone baffled.

"Without my name?"

"Me neither, why do I have no name?"

"I have been in the cold window for ten years, and I have read a lot of poetry and books."

"Why not?"

The students of Guozijian collapsed.

He Bo, the so-called No. [-] scholar of the Imperial College, squeezed in to read the list.

He Bo stood under the list and searched for a long time before he saw his name among the last few.

"I am the number one talented scholar in the Tang Dynasty, why is my name last?"

"This imperial examination is unfair."

He Bo was the first to shout.

"Yes, the imperial examinations are unfair."

The students of Guozijian quarreled outside Chengtianmen, unable to accept the fact that they were brushed off.

in the imperial study,

Du Ruhui took out the roster of admissions and put it on the table for Li Shimin to see.

"Your Majesty, a total of [-] people from Sujiazhuang participated in the imperial examination this time, and all of them will be admitted."

"No.1 is Di Renjie, and the position he applied for is Dali Siqing."

Du Ruhui said.

The most special thing about the imperial examination this time is that, generally speaking, the imperial examination is only successful, and there is no corresponding official position.

But this time, follow the post directly.

Su Yu deliberately changed the first subject.

"Awesome, a hundred people took the exam, and all of them passed."

"And occupied all of my top [-]. How many talents has this brat trained."

Li Shimin laughed.

Before the exam, Li Shimin had expected that the candidates in Sujiazhuang must be cheating.

The results came out, as expected, they were all monsters.

"The 101st place is Zhang Ke, Lanxiang School's top talent."

Du Ruhui pointed to Zhang Ke's name and said.

"Where did He Bo, the number one talented scholar of the Imperial Academy, rank in this test?"

Li Shimin asked.

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "I almost failed the ranking, at 294th place."

Li Shimin was surprised and asked, "Didn't the exam questions say separate?"

"Guozijian still relies on the old ways of poetry, books, etiquette, and Lanxiang School relies on new education."

"Why are the people from the Guozijian still not good?"

At that time, Su Yu said that there were two scrolls, each with its own test.

It stands to reason that the Imperial Academy should have the upper hand for old papers.

But the top [-] candidates of Guozijian are all candidates from Sujiazhuang.

Not to mention the new papers, they must be taken by the candidates from Sujiazhuang.

"Your Majesty, what Di Renjie is testing is old papers."

"When applying for the exam, Wei Chen sent someone to ask Di Renjie."

"This kid said that no matter what he took the test, he was No. 1."

Du Ruhui said.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "What a boy, he's crazy enough, he deserves to be Su Yuding's prime minister."

Du Ruhui was taken aback, what Su Yuding's prime minister?
Li Shimin saw Du Ruhui's puzzled expression, and said with a smile, "The last time I solved the murder case of Yang Ji, I talked with Di Renjie."

"He said, Su Yu said that he is the future prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the number one detective in the world."

Du Ruhui was surprised and said: "No wonder, it turns out that he is the future prime minister and detective."

Su Yu was absolutely right.

No wonder Di Renjie is so powerful, he is only 9 years old.

This time the imperial examination was for the people of Sujiazhuang, and there was no age limit.

Li Shimin shook his head and said with a smile: "The Imperial College can't do it."

"Students in Sujiazhuang are better than them in the exam while learning new education."

Li Shimin is very proud that all the talents cultivated by Su Yu are in his pocket.

A hundred capable students, all of whom were educated in the new style.

Especially this Di Renjie, Li Shimin wants to reuse.

"By the way, the birthplaces of the candidates in Sujiazhuang have been changed, right?"

Li Shimin asked.

Before the exam, I was afraid that other people would find out that these candidates were all from Sujiazhuang.

So they changed their place of origin.

For example, Di Renjie wrote Bingzhou.

"It's all changed, and you won't find it from the same place."

Du Ruhui said.

While the two were talking, Qin Qiong came in and reported, "Your Majesty Qizuo, just released the results outside the Chengtian Gate. Too many candidates from the Guozijian failed the results. They are causing trouble, saying that the imperial examination is unfair."

"The Guozijian is making trouble, and other ministers also have objections."

"There are still some people who advocate the restoration of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and the abolition of the imperial examination."

Qin Qiong was in charge of the guards of the imperial city, and he came to report when hundreds of people outside made trouble.

Li Shimin sneered and said, "I've expected it a long time ago."

"Let them come in, it's in the Tai Chi Hall, I will meet them."

Implementing a new thing cannot be smooth sailing.

The trouble after the exam was expected by Li Shimin.

The queen came in from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine heard that candidates from the Imperial College are making trouble?"

There was so much commotion outside that the queen knew it.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is within my expectation."

With Qin Qiong at the side, it's hard for the queen to say.

Is this the emperor's expectation, or Su Yu's expectation.

"That's good. The concubine is still worried that the first imperial examination is not enough to convince the public, and it will be difficult to implement it in the future."

said the Queen.

"Let's go, meet them in the Tai Chi Hall."

Li Shimin took Du Ruhui and Qin Qiong to the Tai Chi Hall.

Candidates outside Chengtian Gate are still making trouble.

Qin Qiong came out in armor, rode a horse, and shouted sharply: "The emperor has a decree that the students who failed the exams of the Imperial College go to the Taiji Hall."

He Bo led the failed students from the Imperial College to the Tai Chi Hall.

Followed by some old ministers, they also opposed the imperial examination.
