Chapter 595
You know? You know nothing! Besides, why do you want to choose so many names? Who is normal person with so many names?
Wang Gui was dumbfounded. Thinking of what he said, he couldn't help but swallow his mouth, squeezed out a smile, and said firmly: "I knew it was Marquis, just kidding. Actually, I guessed it long ago. Who else can write such essays as "Afang Palace Fu", except Marquis, who can look at the world? Do you think so?"
It was too embarrassing that everyone didn't respond. After all, they were from the Wang family in Taiyuan, so they didn't want this old guy.
"Li Mu, I ask you why you don't use your real name to participate in the imperial examination? Do you know that this is against the rules, and I can issue an order to cancel your title as the top scholar."
When everyone heard this, yes, I forgot about this section. You, Li Mu, violated the rules. This is called impostor, and you have to be rebelled!
"Your Majesty," Li Mu lowered his laughing expression and said, "I did this on purpose, and there are three reasons. First, I have heard a lot of rumors recently. It is said that many officials of the Ministry of Rites have come up with various tricks in order to prevent me from winning the top scorer. I did not use my real name, but for this reason. Second, I don't want Your Majesty to bear the bad reputation of partiality. If Your Majesty sees the name on the test paper is Li Mu, even if you are really outstanding, your Majesty will be considered the top scorer, but it will be a real person. Third..."
Li Mu's lips chuckled and said, "I really didn't take the top scholar too seriously. I just want to tell the people of the world that I, Li Mu, will do what I say. If I say something, I have equal strength. As for whether I will be promoted to fame, I don't care, because I have proved it."
"That's why you told me, if you win the top scorer and don't want it, let me allow you to transfer it to someone else?"
"That's exactly what it means."
"What a proud guy!" Li Shimin snorted: "Don't say I don't give you a chance. Today's matter, I will give you a turnaround. If you have the ability to win the first place, I will not see the mistake you made, and I will reward you. But if you don't get the top scorer in the subject, I will punish you for multiple crimes. Do you dare to bet?"
"I don't care, do you dare to do it?"
Wei Zheng had read "Afang Palace Fu" three times, and he was actually convinced by Li Mu, but he couldn't bear to admit it. Moreover, at his age, it was too unreasonable to take Li Mu as his teacher, so he had to respond with a cold snorkeling.
Li Shimin was too lazy to watch the two of them argued, so he showed off to Eunuch Gao. At this time, the Jinshi outside the hall also completed the ceremony and followed the rules and entered the hall one by one with fear.
Everyone sat behind their own desks according to their own terms. They looked at the desk of the top scholar at the same time. Li Mu walked over leisurely and sat down. Ma Zhou next to him looked at him without any surprise, as if he had guessed that it was the result.
"In addition to the regular subjects, I have added the training courses to the country. The purpose is to select extraordinary talents to assist me. Therefore, those who win the lead in the training courses will be rewarded and will also improve their position when appointing them. I hope that all students can display their talents and share my worries and solve my doubts."
After saying that, Li Shimin signaled to Eunuch Gao, and Eunuch Gao unveiled the imperial edict in his hand and said, "This time, the department is to make a frank and extremely advise the department. Your Majesty asked: The four barbarians have not yet been settled, and the Western Turks are trying to advance to the Hetao area in the east. How should the Tang Dynasty fight and be harmonious?
"Write it, it's a limit of one hour."
As the top scholar in Chang's academic performance, Li Mu was closest to Li Shimin, and he was the one who paid attention to the most. Seeing Li Mu lifting up his pen, Li Shimin walked down, stood in front of Li Mu, and watched him write.
Li Mu was about to finish writing when he suddenly saw someone in front of him. He looked up and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have a problem. Some people can't write it out if they look at it."
"I'm going to read it, please write it quickly."
"Your Majesty, every writer has his own hidden secret. Are you not an omnipotent?"
"What writer? I don't understand, do you write? I'll watch you write!"
The king and his ministers looked at each other, but Li Mu was defeated and lowered his head and started writing. The strokes moved, and it turned out to be Wang Xianzhi's font, but it was different from the Jinshi exam paper. It was no longer running regular script, but running cursive script, which was smoother and smoother.
Do you think this is annoying? I haven't seen you for a few days, and this kid has practiced several fonts. He can do it in a few days.
"When did you practice it?"
Li Mu whispered while writing: "Your Majesty, how about this answer sheet, can you not disturb the candidates? Didn't I say that? I am afraid that others will do anything bad, so I have practiced a few more fonts, afraid that I will be recognized."
"you……"
"Your Majesty, I'm not alone. We're chatting like this, which will affect everyone else. Don't you know that writing is most afraid of being interrupted?"
"Okay!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and endured it, saying, "You write, you write it well, I want to see what you can write!"
Li Shimin pursed his lips and said nothing. He watched Li Mu's pen move around, and his brushstrokes were not stopped at all. Li Shimin didn't agree at first, but after reading it for a while, he frowned. "The Six Kingdoms": What is this guy writing about the Six Kingdoms? He has read too many historical books in the pre-Qin period? He has already written about the Afang Palace, so what are the Six Kingdoms?
But after reading it for a while, the doubts gradually disappeared. This article, on the surface, was about writing about the six countries, but in fact, it was about a way to govern the country. The beginning was clear that the six countries were destroyed, not because of the destruction of the army, not because of the bad war, and the disadvantages were bribery of Qin.
I will cut five cities today and ten cities tomorrow, and then I will have to sleep peacefully one night.
This sentence means Li Shimin's heart. Facing the Western Turks' eastward advance, they will inevitably have to be hit hard. Otherwise, if he really gives him Hetao, he can keep his sleep for a while. What about the next day? So what? Can Chang'an be cut to them?
This sentence is even more interesting, "Don't attach to Qin by Qi. If the assassin is not allowed, good generals are still there, then the number of victory and defeat and survival should be compared with Qin, or it may not be easy to measure." Li Shimin has read history books. The good general in this sentence refers to the general of Zhao State Li Mu and general of Zhao State Li Mu, and the general of Zhao State Li Mu, who was guarded, and the Qin army could not survive. However, when the monarch of Zhao State fell into the Qin people's plan to kill Li Mu, Zhao State collapsed and was easily defeated by the Qin army.
Li Shimin couldn't help laughing. This kid used this allusion, definitely on purpose!
Later, Li Mu put forward his own opinion: "Borrow the Qin land and confer the counselors in the world, serve the Qin spirit and respect the geniuses in the world, and move westward, I am afraid that the Qin people will not be able to swallow their food." He said that if you seek peace, it is better to work together. You should reward the heroes and recruit talents. Even if the enemy is as powerful as Qin, you don't need to be afraid.
It's indeed a great talent!
