Datang: Touching the Corpse Li Yuanba at the Beginning

"Brother is a hero, and I won't embarrass him as a younger brother. The battlefield is the battlefield, and we are still brothers under the battlefield!"

"If Datang and Tubo really want to go to war in the future, I will fight my eldest brother on the battlefield openly!"

Songtsen Gampo said excitedly, clenched his fists.

"just you?"

Su Lie glanced at Songtsan Gampo who was still a little weak and unpretentious and shook his head.

"It's good to have ideas, but if you really want to compete with His Highness the Crown Prince in an upright manner, these are not enough now..."

"I know, I will work hard!"

Songtsan Gampo nodded vigorously.

When he came to Datang this time, he was curious at first, but gradually, this curiosity turned into admiration. He was always thinking in his heart, when will his hometown be like Datang?

As prosperous as Datang, with a prosperous economy and culture like Datang?

"Not bad!"

Su Lie looked at Songtsan Gampo and nodded in satisfaction. If he didn't even have fighting spirit, how could he be an opponent to His Highness the Crown Prince?

"General Su, this journey is thousands of miles away, please forgive me, but I have an unfeeling request..."

Songtsan Gampo looked at Su Lie with a look of embarrassment and said.

"tell me the story?"

"Can I learn the art of war with you?"

"My elder brother told me that if his subordinates are brave, Li Cunxiao, Yue Fei, Xue Rengui, Ran Min, Yang Zaixing, Shi Zen Master, Xiong Zhan, and Luo Song are all unique warriors in this world!"

"But when it comes to deploying troops and commanding the battlefield, the eldest brother is you, General Su, who is most likely to inherit the legacy of the military god in the future."

Su Lie stared straight at Songtsan Gampo for a long time, and finally laughed while riding on the horse.

"Hahaha!"

"Okay, His Royal Highness is right. You are qualified to be His Royal Highness's friend, and you are also qualified to be an opponent."

"I will try my best to pass on what I have learned along the way, including during the period of helping you suppress the rebellion. As for how much you can learn, it depends on your ability. I can promise that I will never hide anything!"

Before coming here, Li Wenhao told Su Lie that if Songtsan Gampo wanted to learn, he should teach him.

It might sound silly, but that's what heroes are.

This is Li Wenhao's self-confidence.

Incomparably strong self-confidence.

He will not cook wine and talk about heroes like Cao Cao, let alone kill heroes like Zhu Chongba, nor will he drink wine to release military power like Zhao Kuangyin.

In a way, he is very similar to Li Shimin, they both believe that they can use their outstanding personality charm to suppress these elite soldiers.

More able to suppress the opponent.

Let's talk about the future, who can say for sure?

Maybe one day Songtsan Gampo felt that Tubo was boring, so he surrendered his list and voted for Tang directly, so he came to work as Li Wenhao's follower?

……

The screen returns to Chang'an. At this time, the provincial examination has ended, and Wei Zheng and others are working overtime to judge the results. Apart from the few people who paid attention to at the beginning, there are several people who have entered Wei Zheng's eyes.

Among them, the weirdest ones are candidates named Li Xiaoer and Li Xiaosan.

"My lord grandson, look at the examination papers of these two people, especially the answer to the third question, there are many similarities, can it be?"

Wei Zheng was a little surprised and said that what he was most afraid of was problems in the side he was in charge of, and the biggest problem in the imperial examination was cheating.

If this Li Xiaoer and Li Xiaosan really cheated, even if it had nothing to do with Wei Zheng, he would basically be cold. After all, this imperial examination is the college entrance examination in modern times.

See how strict the college entrance examination is?

"Ha ha!"

"Master Wei, think too much, don't you see something in this name?"

"name?"

Wei Zheng had a faint guess in his heart, and just about to speak, he saw Changsun Wuji glance at the others with a half-smile, Wei Zheng could only suppress his curiosity and continue to evaluate the test papers.

Two days later, the list of three hundred candidates for the palace examination was released, and the other three hundred martial arts exams were also released. Next, who is the number one scholar in literature and who is the number one scholar in martial arts depends on the palace examination.

In ancient times, there was a custom, or a habit of big families, to catch a son-in-law under the list.

In modern terms, even if you put soft rice in your mouth, you have to eat it, and you have to eat it even if you don’t eat it. This is not just some big families, even the royal family, sometimes they will send the princess to marry when they see someone they like .

And after the list of 300 civil and military candidates who participated in the palace examination was posted, those aristocratic families in Chang'an couldn't hold it anymore.

In Chang'an City, every inn, restaurant, and even a brothel has the eyes of these aristocratic families. Once the person on the list is caught, they will be taken home immediately, married, and entered the bridal chamber.

In modern times, this is forced marriage, which is illegal, but in ancient times, this was a folk custom, a good thing, a good sign.

There are also some people from poor families who want to use this list to catch a son-in-law, so that they can get rid of their status as poor and lower-middle peasants, and become the elders of those three wives and four concubines. There are not a few such people, and of course there are many students. I already have a wife who is a mess, and I can't avoid this kind of thing.

There are those who miss the wretched wife at home, and there are those who dislike it. Anyway, the world is full of...

Among the [-] scholars who participated in the palace examination this time, apart from Li Xiaoer and Li Xiaosan, the ones who attracted the most attention were Yu Tingyi, Wu Yulu, and He Shanbao.

"Li An, what's going on outside that makes you so lively?"

"Your Highness, isn't this the imperial examination list? The young ladies of those big families are currently choosing their sons-in-law..."

Li An said enviously, now that Li An is over 40 years old and has three children, this kind of thing must not be his turn, but his eldest son also participated in this imperial examination, and he did not even get in the top three hundred of the provincial examination. He didn't even go in, so the son-in-law naturally didn't have anything to do with his son, even if there were, they were still small families, and with Li An's current status, he didn't think much of it.

"Oh, that's what it is!"

"Go and inform Jin Yiwei to post the family information of these students. If anyone dares to abandon the scum, the test scores will be cancelled, and they will not be hired for life!"

Li Wenhao remembered that there were many scumbags in history who forgot about their troubles after being admitted to the top prize, the biggest representative of which was Chen Shimei.

He is a great Tang material, Tianbao, an outstanding man, and he doesn't need any scumbags.

If someone dared to force it, Jin Yiwei naturally knew how to do it.

Strolling around the city, listening to the resounding singing, Li Wenhao smiled with satisfaction.

Isn't that what he wants?

Taking Li An along, the two found a wonton stand at random, ordered two bowls of wontons and two dishes of side dishes, and sat down to eat.

"Have you heard?"

"This time, a lot of big families want to recruit the top five candidates, but it's a pity that I haven't seen a hair, let alone people. I don't know where these people are hiding."

"Hey! I said, is your brain really a lump of elm?"

"The top five candidates must be some of the best people in my Tang Dynasty, so they will naturally be given by the royal family first..."

"Yes, yes, yes, brother, you can see through!"

Li Wenhao listened to the conversation at the next table, smiled and continued eating.

It wasn't that he was small-minded, but mainly because he was afraid that these good seedlings would be polluted by the aristocratic family, so he sent someone to pick them up early.

Chapter 302 Palace Exam

Two days later, the climax of the imperial examination finally came, the imperial examination.

Early on, the square outside the Tai Chi Hall was already set up, ready to welcome these students.

The eunuchs also stood ten steps apart, waiting for the gold list to be called.

For example, registration for the provincial examination is all pediatrics here, and only those who call out their names here are the real dragons and phoenixes.

"His Majesty is here!"

"The prince is here!"

"Hundred officials salute!"

After a grand kneeling ceremony, Li Shimin sat in front of the stage, with Li Wenhao sitting beside him, and the two of them looked at the students below, full of smiles.

"You students have worked hard. After several months of exams and competitions, today, it is a dragon or a tiger. It is finally time to see the real chapter."

"I will point out two people first, and these two people are not included in the palace examination!"

"Li Xiaoer, Li Xiaosan, you two come out!"

A group of scholars look at me and I look at you, but they don’t understand what Li Shimin is playing. What does it mean that the two of them are not included in the palace examination? Is it because they violated the rules?

I saw two young men walking out of this group of scholars. They first bowed their hands to the students who were taking the exam with them, and then walked to the front of the stage.

"My son Li Chengqian!"

"Li Ke!"

"I've seen my father!"

The two kneeled down respectfully on the ground, which immediately caused the group of students to exclaim. They didn't expect that there would be two princes participating in this exam.

"The two of them grew up in the palace, received the best education, and learned the way of governing the country. In addition, they are officials, so they are not included in the palace examination!"

Li Wenhao opened his mouth to explain, and the group of scholars agreed in their hearts after hearing it.

After all, the background is different, and the platform is also different.

Just like what Li Wenhao said, Li Chengqian and Li Ke can get in touch with the policies and plans for governing the country and the locality for the first time, and ordinary people like them may have things they have never heard of in their entire lives. This is the difference in platforms.

Furthermore, Li Chengqian and Li Ke have already become kings, and they will go out to build their own government after they get married. Is it necessary to compete with these students?

"Wei Zheng, bring the top three exam papers in the literary examination!"

Wei Zheng carefully took out three examination papers and handed them to Li Shimin.

"Where are Yu Tingyi, Wu Yulu, and He Shanbao?"

When Li Shimin pointed out these three people, it was almost certain that these three people were the top three in this imperial examination, but it was up to Li Shimin who was the No. [-] scholar, who was the second place, and who was the Tanhua.

"The students are here!"

Three people stood up, except for the slightly old one named Wu Yulu, the other two looked very young, no more than 20 years old.

Li Wenhao took the test papers from the three of them, read them carefully, and raised his head in doubt, "It shouldn't be, shouldn't it be that the martial arts side keeps getting big shots, and the Wenshi side doesn't even have small shrimps?"
