Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Li Er took a deep breath, he really underestimated Zhang Dun.

Did he hide his clumsiness in front of me before co-authoring?

As soon as you come to the imperial examination, you will show up?

What about low-key, is there such a low-key?You also said that you don't want to be an official in the court, what do you mean, you don't want to be an official in the court, why did you answer the test paper so well?

Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and Li Daozong who were standing in front of him, and pondered: "Three lovers, you have also read Zhang Dun's test paper, what suggestions do you have?"

"Your Majesty," Chu Suiliang suddenly bowed his hands solemnly and said, "I think Zhang Dun is the number one scholar in this imperial examination!"

"I seconded the proposal." Li Daozong nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "At the same time, I proposed that when Zhang Dun enters the court as an official, he must be sent to our Ministry of Punishment to complete the follow-up of "Tang Law Discussions."

Li Er nodded slightly, the importance of "Tang Law Shuyi", he just read the previous writing, he knew that this thing must be able to replace "Wu Delu".

If this is the case, Zhang Dun has done a great job!

Li Er looked at the frowning eldest grandson Wuji and asked, "Wuji, what do you think?"

"I don't think so."

Changsun Wuji said solemnly: "Among the scholars who participated in the imperial examination this time, it is recorded that Zhang Dun is going to take the examination of Ming Jing."

"Your Majesty, take a look at Zhang Dun's answer sheet of Ming Jing. He didn't answer a single question correctly. How did he become the number one scholar?"

"That's not right." Chu Suiliang retorted: "Although he never answered the questions of Ming Jing Ke correctly, but he answered Ming Fa, Ming Characters, Ming Calculation, and Jinshi's four test papers, all of which are outstanding in literary talent. You were at that time The lobby of the Ministry of Officials also praised Zhang Dun."

"He didn't answer the test paper of Ming Jing Ke correctly. You and I understand the reason. It's not that he got it wrong, but he didn't want to get it right. With his talent, can he fail the Ming Jing Ke test paper?"

"Don't talk about these useless things, the truth is right in front of you." Changsun Wuji showed a smile on his face, pointed to the test paper on the imperial case, and said, "Why don't you take a second look, Chu Qijulang? Look at Zhang Dun's bright eyes." In the economics test paper, did you answer a question correctly?"

Chu Suiliang looked at Li Daozong and asked, "Li Shangshu, what do you say?"

Li Daozong said without hesitation: "Only based on "Tang Law Shuyi", Zhang Dun is worthy of the title of number one scholar."

Chu Suiliang snorted, "Changsun Shangshu, did you hear that?"

Changsun Wuji shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what? He should take the test of Mingjing, so it should be decided according to the test paper of Mingjing. Thousands of candidates taking part in the imperial examination at the same time are not fair!"

Chu Suiliang squinted his eyes slightly and said: "Then according to Changsun Shangshu's intention, as long as Zhang Dun can answer the questions of Ming Jing Ke correctly, he should be the number one scholar this time?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "That's what it means."

Chu Suiliang looked at Li Er, and Li Er also looked at him, and suddenly they both grinned at the same time.

Changsun Wuji frowned, not understanding what they were laughing at.

Li Er stretched out his fingers and tapped on the table lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Wuji, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you must take your words seriously."

"I'm absolutely not joking." Changsun Wuji said with a solemn expression, cupping his hands.

"That's good."

Li Er nodded with satisfaction, and shouted towards the direction outside the hall: "Li Junxian, bring the things in."

Soon, Li Junxian walked into the hall with a test paper.

Stretching his chin, when Li Junxian handed the test paper to Changsun Wuji, Li Er said, "Wuji, take a look at this test paper."

Changsun Wuji lowered his head and his heart skipped a beat, why does His Majesty have a test paper in his hand?

Chapter 130 Zhuangyuan Lang, that's it

He opened it and took a look, only to see Zhang Dun's name written on the front of the paper. He looked at the content of the test paper again, and couldn't help but hissed.

One question is right!

How is this going?

Seeing the puzzled look cast by Changsun Wuji, Li Er patiently said: "Wuji, in fact, Zhang Dun answered all the questions correctly in the Ming Jing test paper."

"Your Majesty, Zhang Dun did not write this."

Changsun Wuji clapped the test paper in his hand, and said loudly: "This is written by Chu Suiliang, and I know Chu Suiliang's characters!"

After speaking, he looked at Chu Suiliang.

Chu Suiliang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Who told you that this was written by the old man? This is Zhang Dun's own handwriting. Don't forget that in the lobby of the Ministry of Officials, the old man told you that Zhang Dun Can write the words of the old man."

"If you want evidence, the old man can give you two addresses. You can send someone to Dongshi to ask. The two people in Dongshi saw Zhang Dun write the old man's words on the paper with their own eyes."

Changsun Wuji looked confused, "This, this..."

Li Er and Chu Suiliang looked at each other, showing a fox-like smile, and grinning at Changsun Wuji at the same time.

Li Daozong asked curiously: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination has only started today. When did he write this test paper?"

Li Er smiled and said:

"A few days ago, Deng Shan said that he saw a talented young man in Chang'an City and wanted to recommend him to me. It was Zhang Dun."

"However, this Zhang Dun didn't want to be an official in the court, so Dengshan came up with an idea, let me ask the imperial examination questions first, let Zhang Dun answer, and then ask him to take the imperial examination."

"It doesn't matter what his final answer is, even if he writes nonsense, with this test paper, he can be admitted to the court as an official!"

"I promise."

"So, there is this test paper in Wuji's hands."

Li Daozong suddenly understood!The imperial examination held by the imperial court this time is digging a hole for Zhang Dun.

Just want him to be the champion!

In this way, let him enter the court as an official!

What a deep calculation!The corner of Changsun Wuji's mouth twitched, so what is the old man, the chief examiner?Just going through the motions?

Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji, saw his expression of displeasure, and said:

"Wuji, this is all for the court and for the Tang Dynasty."

"Zhang Dun has the talent of a monster, but he doesn't want to make progress. He would rather be a cook in a restaurant than an official in the court. That's why Zhen and Deng Shan had to come up with this bad plan."

"You don't mind."

The palms of Changsun Wuji's sleeves trembled in anger, but he had to force a smile on his face, and said: "The scholars who are recruited for the country are all from the Tang Dynasty, how can I take it to heart?"

"That's good."

Li Er nodded in satisfaction, patted the desk table, and said: "Let's release the ranking tomorrow, this time the number one scholar in the imperial examination is Zhang Dun!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Chu Suiliang and Li Daozong said in unison.

Seeing that the overall situation had been settled, Changsun Wuji could only sigh, cupped his hands helplessly, and echoed.

Li Er had a strong smile on his face. In this way, even if Zhang Dun didn't want to become an official in the court, he couldn't do it!

correct!Li Er suddenly thought of something, looked at the three people present, and said in a deep voice: "This matter must not be leaked before the announcement, you all stay in the palace to rest today."

The three of them cupped their hands one after another and said, "I will obey the order."

Li Er glanced at Li Junxian again, and said: "You go to the Lizheng Hall, tell the queen the result, and tell the maidservant Guanyin not to disclose the news to Lizhi."

Li Junxian said in a deep voice, "No."

----

"Aniang, who is the number one scholar in this imperial examination?"

Lizheng Palace, after returning from outside the palace, Li Lizhi went directly to Empress Changsun and kept asking.

Empress Changsun held a candied fruit in her hand, put it into her mouth, and handed another one to Li Lizhi, and said with a smile, "Will you know if you look at it tomorrow?"

Li Lizhi took it, put it in his mouth while chewing, and looked expectantly: "Is it Zhang Dun?"

Empress Changsun smiled and shook her head.

Li Lizhi looked disappointed, isn't he a gentleman?Could it be Chang Sun Chong?

She was a little unwilling and said: "Aniang, the number one scholar is Changsun Chong?"

Empress Changsun rubbed her forehead and said softly:

"Who is the No. [-] scholar, you won't know until the list is released. Before the list is released, my mother won't tell you, and your father shouldn't tell anyone for your mother's sake. You don't need to ask any more."

Li Lizhi said dejectedly: "Father, it's true, it's all right to hide it from others, even my daughter!"

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Didn't you tell Weimian and your father when you escaped from marriage?"

"Aniang, one thing is another thing!" Li Lizhi stomped her feet and said coquettishly.

Empress Changsun nodded her forehead, and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, rest early today, don't you want to go out with Zhang Dun tomorrow to have fun, and you can stop by to have a look tomorrow, and you will know everything."

At night, Zuixian Tower.

Hu Quhe helped Hu Guang clean up the restaurant, and asked casually, "Father, do you think the number one scholar this time will be sir?"

Hu Guang shook his head, "No."

Hu Quhe was confused: "Why are you so sure?"

Hu Guang sighed and said: "Brother Zhang said no, then he must not be. Look at what he said during the day. He said that taking the imperial examination was just for perfunctory, and the [-]% is true."

Hu Quhe looked disappointed, "The daughter went to rest."

"Go." Hu Guang waved his hand, and sighed when he was the only one left in the lobby. Brother Zhang, I really can't see through him. He didn't want to be an official if he could be an official.

At this time, Yongyang Square, Zhang Family.

Zhang Dun fell asleep, unaware that in Chang'an City, someone was worried about whether he would be on the list.

At dawn, Zhang Dun took a simple wash and came to Zuixian Tower in a carriage. Seeing a familiar figure in the restaurant, he grinned, "Chang Zhi, you came early enough."

In the lobby of Zuixian Tower, Li Lizhi was wearing a Luo skirt and a golden yoke on her head, and she was sitting beside the table with her cheeks dragging.

Hu Quhe was sitting next to her, and when she saw Zhang Dun coming, she quickly stood up, bowed her body and said crisply, "Hello, sir."

Zhang Dun nodded with a smile, saw that Hu Quhe had changed into a new bright-colored skirt today, her hair was tied into a spiral bun, and a jade hairpin was inserted, and said in surprise: "You are well dressed."

Hu Quhe smiled and said: "Sir, you forgot, it was agreed yesterday that the slave family will also go to play with Mr. and Mrs.

Zhang Dun laughed, looked at Li Lizhi, saw her sullen look, and asked in confusion, "Changzhi, what are you doing with your face down?"

"Mr. Lang," Li Lizhi raised her head and said in a low tone, "You said that the number one scholar this time, is it you?"

Zhang Dun looked startled, heard some signs, and asked curiously: "Did you ask your father?"

He did not forget that his future father-in-law was the minister of the household department in the court.

Li Lizhi nodded, then shook her head again, and said in embarrassment: "I have asked about it before, but neither Father nor Mother."

"That means you missed it!" Zhang Dun said with a smile.

Chapter 131 Who is the number one scholar on the day of the imperial examination?

Li Lizhi said coquettishly, "Mr. Lang, are you so happy that you didn't win the number one prize?"

Zhang Dun spread his hands and said innocently: "Why am I unhappy? Isn't this expected?"

"Don't be so sad. You look so pretty when you smile. It's hard to spare a day. Don't just sit here. I'll take you to Chang'an City."

As he said that, Zhang Dun looked at Hu Quhe and said, "Quhe, you also go with me."

A smile appeared on Hu Quhe's pretty face, she nodded and said, "Listen to Mr.

"My lord, where shall we go?"

Walking out of Zuixian Tower, Li Lizhi put the matter of the number one scholar behind her, blinked her beautiful eyes at Zhang Dun and said.

Zhang Dun said with a smile: "Let's go to Pingkangfang first to see what good things are there. Buy everything you can buy. What do your parents like?"

"They like you to be an official." Li Lizhi whispered.

Zhang Dun laughed dumbfounded, and shook his head. I can't pay myself for them, it's not worth it.

With Ermei, I visited Pingkangfang. Although the most prosperous market in Chang'an City is here, in Zhang Dun's view, it can be regarded as the future pedestrian street at most, and there are no places for entertainment along the road.

Along the way, Zhang Dun was annoyed and amused when he saw their expressions of interest, and said, "When will the list be released?"

When it came to releasing the list, Li Lizhi and Hu Quhe's eyes lit up, and they said in unison: "There is still an hour."

Zhang Dun waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go and see the announcement."

"Really?" Ermei's eyes lit up immediately.
