The discussion of all the candidates resounded in the hall, which changed the taste of a good examination. The originally solemn examination room simply turned into a duck pond with non-stop chattering.
The examiner's face changed when he came back to his senses. He walked back to the front and said to the candidates with a straight face: "What are you doing? What's the point of making such noise? Do you still want to take the exam? If you don't want to take the exam, you can leave directly. , I can help you with writing, if you want to go out, you can come to me now!"
The examiner's words caused the noisy hall just now to fall silent.
They all looked at each other. Although they stopped talking, they were still confused and puzzled in their hearts. They wondered how Luo Zhang could write a poem so quickly. They wondered how he could get such a high evaluation from the examiner just by writing it. It simply subverted their imagination.
But they can't just ignore the exam and go read what Luo Zhang wrote. This is tantamount to giving up on their exams and their own future. Who would be so stupid? So I can only be patient and not think about it. Anyway, the poems written by Luo Zhang will be announced after the exam, so I won't know it then.
Under the examiner's suppression, all the candidates resumed their previous behavior of shaking their heads and thinking about how to write.
Hu Luanyao finished writing one step after Luo Zhang, and was equally surprised that Luo Zhang could write poems so quickly. Although she didn't know who Luo Zhang was before, she could tell after hearing the discussions around him. The poem surprised people. She was also puzzled, but what she thought was different from others. In her opinion, Luo Zhang must have a great side if he could be knighted and become a sixth-rank official at such an age. , who can be so sure that Luo Zhang can't write poetry?
Regarding Hu Luanyao's thoughts, Li Yifu was dumbfounded and shocked. He knew very well who Luo Zhang was. Such a man of great influence could know his deeds with just a little inquiry. How could a man in the market write this? Poetry that resonates from ancient times to the present?
Li Yifu's thoughts were similar to everyone else's, they all didn't believe it! But it's useless if he doesn't believe it. The examiners can't be so biased towards Luo Zhang, and they can't talk nonsense in front of so many people. Otherwise, his reputation will be ruined. These examiners are all famous scholars. , the most important thing is reputation. Once the reputation is ruined, it is tantamount to killing them.
In other words, the poem Luo Zhang just wrote is indeed extraordinary!
Shaking his head slightly, Li Yifu sighed, smiled bitterly, and thought to himself, this man is just different from others!
After calming down all the candidates, the examiner walked up to Luo Zhang again and looked at the piece of paper on the desk in front of Luo Zhang. He couldn't help but nodded frequently, and could not hide the excitement on his face.
"I want to present this poem of yours to His Majesty for reading. Please sit down for a moment!" After saying this, the examiner picked up the poem written by Luo Zhang and turned around and left. As for Hu Luanyao who also wrote the poem beside him, he looked at it. I haven't read it yet, and I don't know if I don't like Hu Luanyao's poems or if I have forgotten them.
Luo Zhang naturally has no objection to this. If he doesn't show it to Li Shimin now, he will give it to him later. Li Shimin will not let go of his things.
In the royal study room of the palace, Li Shimin left the court early and was processing memorials here. This was his daily job.
I had just reviewed a memorial when I heard the report from Eunuch Huang outside the door: "Your Majesty, the clerk asked me to see that there is a candidate whose poems can be rated as Grade A. According to your Majesty's instructions, I will send it to your Majesty for your royal viewing!"
"Oh? The exam should have just started now. Someone has written a first-class poem so soon?" Li Shimin was also a little surprised.
Regarding the temporary changes to the test questions in the morning, he gave the order after reading a memorial.
At the same time, he also wanted to see how good the candidates were this time. Although he had warned the examiners before, it was unavoidable to take care of the children of some aristocratic families and give favors to them.
And by doing this, he is blocking the way for the children of the family. If you want to get in my eyes, show your true skills. If you have cats and dogs in front of me, I don't have the heart to train your children. That's Li Shimin's idea.
After being summoned by Li Shimin, the examiner clerk from Luo Zhang's examination room walked in holding a piece of poetry that Luo Zhang had just written.
"Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty, it is my Majesty's blessing to have such a masterpiece, it is a blessing to the Tang Dynasty!" The clerk shouted loudly as he came in, as if he could not express his excitement otherwise.
"Don't exaggerate. Let me take a look and I'll know if it's a masterpiece!" Li Shimin was not moved by the words of Wen Tong.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As he spoke, the clerk handed the poem in his hand to Eunuch Huang who was standing aside. Eunuch Huang also held the poem in his hand and walked to Li Shimin's desk, put the poem down and laid it out.
Li Shimin took a sip of tea and then lowered his head to look at the poems on the table. It didn't matter what he saw. Li Shimin's eyes immediately straightened. At the same time, his eyes became blood red at the same time. It seemed that he was affected by the poems. My breathing became a little faster.
Everyone has different feelings after seeing a poem. Perhaps in the eyes of Wen Tong, this is a good work, but in Li Shimin's eyes, this poem is simply an epic war epic that brings together the famous families of Yanxia. His perseverance and tenacious resistance are vividly reflected, and at the same time it is completely consistent with his state of mind. It is as if it expresses his inner voice, so appropriate!
"At the time of the Qin Dynasty, there was a bright moon and at the time of the Han Dynasty, the people who marched thousands of miles away have not yet returned. But the flying generals of Dragon City are here, and they will not teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains!"
"But if the flying generals of Dragon City are here, I won't teach Hu Ma to cross the Yin Mountains!!!"
"What a poem!! What a poem!!!"
"This guy is a great talent, a great talent!!!"
"Do you know who wrote this poem?"
Li Shimin put down his poem and raised his head to look at the clerk and asked.
The clerk was very excited at this time. He discovered this person, that is, he recommended him. If this person is reused by His Majesty and becomes prosperous in the future, then he can also follow suit and get some glory. After all, the examiner is also quite good. Teacher Yu, it’s a kind of nepotism.
Of course, all the candidates are students of Li Shimin, so-called disciples of the emperor!
"Your Majesty, this poem was written by a young man named Luo Zhang. I think he is a man of great talent!" The clerk talked eloquently, holding Luo Zhang like a flower.
If he didn't study those classics every day and go out more often, he might not know Luo Zhang, otherwise he wouldn't be bragging for Luo Zhang here.
Hearing the clerk say that this poem was written by Luo Zhang, Li Shimin was stunned, blinked and asked, "Is he a young man who is 28 years old?"
The clerk was slightly startled and said, "He is a young man in his mid-twenties. Does your Majesty know this boy?"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "I know you, why don't you know me? Well, you don't have to worry about this matter. I understand. You can go and invigilate the exam first!"
The clerk was confused by His Majesty's words. He was guessing about Luo Zhang's identity. Which family's descendant could actually gain His Majesty's favor and know who he was.
You must know that His Majesty has many things to do every day, so it is not easy to be remembered by His Majesty!
After leaving with the clerk, Li Shimin looked down at the poem written by Luo Zhang again, filled with emotion in his heart, and murmured: "The children of the Immortal are extraordinary, maybe they will give me a big surprise this time. , it seems that Gao Yang’s little idea may be in vain!”
"Eunuch Huang, please have several copies of this poem copied, send one copy to Gao Yang, and send the other copies to the three provinces and six ministries, so that they can also see that we, the Tang Dynasty, are talented!" Li Shimin said happily. , but there is a sense of military might in his words!
Eunuch Huang took the order and left, and the imperial study fell into silence again. Li Shimin stood up and came to the geographical map of mountains and rivers. He looked at the geographical map again and was speechless for a long time!
Luo Zhang didn't know that his masterpiece would attract such attention from Li Shimin. He actually had people copy it and send it to three provinces and six departments. This was no small matter. It was a great honor. It showed that Li Shimin recognized him and praised him. He was simply doting on him. An excellent performance.
If Luo Zhang knew this, his jaw would drop in shock!
