Ziyang Palace, Gao Yang's palace, Gao Yang seemed a little anxious today. She had been walking non-stop in her palace since the morning, her brows furrowed and her little fists clenched. She didn't know what made her so restless.
The maids on the side were also curious about what happened to their princess, but they did not dare to ask. Gao Yang had a bad temper, and they would be punished if he was not good.
At this time, a little eunuch ran out of the door, holding a brocade box in his hand. When he saw Gao Yang, he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, your Majesty ordered me to come and give something to the princess, saying it was a poem written by Luo Zhang!" "
"What? Luo Zhang's poems? Give it to me quickly!" Gao Yang exclaimed.
The little eunuch did not dare to neglect and hurriedly presented the brocade box to the maid on the side. The maid opened the brocade box and handed a piece of cloth inside to Gao Yang.
Gao Yang unfolded the cloth, and two lines of characters appeared in front of him.
"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."
"Is this what Luo Zhang did? This...doesn't teach Huma how to cross the Yin Mountain!"
"I didn't expect Luo Zhang to be so ambitious. Men should be like this. This is the man I want to marry!" Gao Yang saw the poem written on the cloth and said such words in excitement. If Luo Zhang After hearing Gao Yang's words, are you afraid that you will fall down?
What does it mean? Is this what a man should do? Am I the man he wants to marry? Please don't do this, brother, you can't stand it!
Of course, Luo Zhang didn't know, so there was no such problem. However, Luo Zhang's weight in Gao Yang's heart was heavier. It was completely different from the previous frowns and frowns. At least she had slowly accepted Luo Zhang. Zhang, there is already a shadow of Luo Zhang in his heart.
From three provinces and six ministries, under Li Shimin's instruction, copies of cloth and silk were sent in one by one.
Zhongshu Sheng, Menxia Sheng, Shangshu Sheng, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry.
Almost everyone has read Luo Zhang's masterpiece, and after reading this masterpiece, almost everyone's face is very solemn.
In Zhongshu Province, Fang Xuanling looked at Luo Zhang's poem and remained silent for a long time.
In Shangshu Province, Du Ruhui walked around the room, lamenting from time to time.
When he was in the province, Changsun Wuji had a gloomy expression on his face, as if he had something difficult to decide.
In the Ministry of War, Li Ji frowned, seeming to be making some decision.
The people in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment did not have much reaction.
The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works immediately sent out orders one after another as soon as they saw the cloth. The entire Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works were completely moved. I don't know why they were like this and what they were doing.
Of course, the three provinces and six departments did not know that this poem was written by Luo Zhang. They were afraid that if they found out, they would not know what the expressions of these big bosses would be.
Luo Zhang knew nothing about these movements. At this time, he was apologizing to Wang Changling who appeared decades later. After all, he had stolen someone else's poems and he had to give an explanation. Who called Wang Changling this poem? The writing just fits the theme of "war".
As time goes by, more and more students have completed their answers and have written poems that they feel they are satisfied with.
Luo Zhang passed the first subject of literature smoothly. Although he didn't know what his final score would be, he was able to submit it to Li Shimin immediately, so his score should not be bad.
After everyone finished answering, the clerk asked the little eunuch to collect all the answer sheets and seal them. Naturally, it was impossible to submit them all to Li Shimin. Instead, they, the examiners, had to take a look at them first and decide whether they were written correctly. It's good to submit it again, otherwise so many poems written by students will be shown to Li Shimin, then Li Shimin will not have to sleep to deal with official duties. Just looking at the poems will make him exhausted.
After the clerk announced that the students would take a short break and start the second exam, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and discussed their own poems. Everyone felt that what they had written was the best, and some even argued. It goes on and on. Of course, the educated people here are just talking about the truth, and they won't take action if they don't agree with each other like in the martial arts test.
Luo Zhang had finished writing a long time ago, so he had rested for a long time. At this time, he turned to look at Li Yifu and said, "Brother Li, how is your writing test? Are you confident that you will get an A grade?"
Li Yifu gave a wry smile, cupped his hands towards Luo Zhang and said, "Master Luo is a great talent, so don't make fun of the common people here. My works cannot be compared with Master Luo's masterpieces. I feel good if I can get a B-level." Got it!"
Luo Zhang smiled slightly, Li Yifu was good at flattering, no wonder Mei Niang was favored by Mei Niang after she came to power, but everyone likes to be flattered, as long as the flattery is done correctly and well.
And this Li Yifu is the one who got the true inheritance. Even though he is still very immature when it comes to flattering, he can be fooled in a few years. Therefore, if he can face Changsun Wuji, he will be a match for the ages. The Great Yin Man is the one who kills people without repaying their lives.
"Don't be self-effacing. Maybe your poems will be favored. Your ten years of hard study in the cold window are not in vain!" Luo Zhang was naturally not left behind by the people carrying the sedan chair, and he also I want to win over Li Yifu and take him under his sect.
After receiving Luo Zhang's approval, Li Yifu also showed a smile on his face and said: "Then let's borrow Mr. Luo's good words!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome, let's work hard together!" Luo Zhang said, cupping his hands.
After Luo Zhang finished speaking, the clerk who had left before came in again, holding a scroll in his hand again, but this time, the scroll was much larger than the previous one, one meter wide, but he didn't know how long it would be when unfolded. How big.
After the little eunuch unfolded the entire scroll, he saw a map drawn on the scroll. On the map were mountains, rivers, canyons, forests and other topography. Of course, there were also cities and black spots.
At this time, the clerk pointed to the unfolded scroll and said: "The second door, military merit, this time the test questions are also written by His Majesty. I won't say more about where this map is. The question is: If you are given an army of 100,000 people, from Starting from here, attack the city on the other side of the river and capture it in three months. What should we do? Before we can capture this city, we need to capture more than ten cities across the front, and the enemy has five Wan Dajun is wandering outside. Okay, the questions have been posted. Let’s start answering. Write your answers on paper. The time limit is one hour!”
Seeing such test questions, the children of those aristocratic families were dumbfounded again. What happened to this year's exam? Why are all the questions set by His Majesty, and the questions are all changed at the end? How can they take the exam?
Without care and knowing the questions in advance, all the children of these aristocratic families were in trouble. It would be an exaggeration to say that they were almost like Luo Zhang.
But I have to bite the bullet and take the exam again, otherwise how will I explain it to my family when I go back? Did you tell your family that you just published it without writing anything? It would be weird if he wasn't beaten to death!
Luo Zhang didn't have the concerns of these aristocratic families. He was not good at the military merit test. Just because he was not good at it, there was no pressure.
Looking at the map, Luo Zhang frowned slightly. He always felt that this map was very familiar. He had never seen the geography here before.
As if he thought of something, Luo Zhang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: "Here I go, isn't this horse riding a map of the Koguryo Peninsula, and isn't that river the Yalu River! Your Majesty, please bring this map to me. What should we do with this test question? Could it be that His Majesty is planning the Northern Expedition to attack Gaoguli? Yes, the time has come to indicate that His Majesty’s first Northern Expedition is about to begin. His Majesty gave us this map to test, I’m afraid he has some deep intentions. in!"
Thinking in his mind, Luo Zhang naturally thought of the situation in history when Li Shimin failed in his first Northern Expedition and why he failed.
If it were another test, Luo Zhang was not good at it, let alone didn't understand it, but if this Northern Expedition was used as the test question, then Luo Zhang would know it very well.
After all, there have been many analyzes and interpretations of the Northern Expedition in history. These are all in history books, and Luo Zhang has naturally read them all.
Of course, the conditions given by His Majesty are different from the real situation. For example, Your Majesty said that the Tang Dynasty sent 100,000 troops, but the real situation was 300,000 troops. Gaogouli said 50,000 troops, but the real situation was that 100,000 troops were stationed. north.
Therefore, this test question is just a reduced version of the map of the enemy and the enemy.
However, there is still a question lingering in Luo Zhang's mind, that is, when Li Shimin sent troops to Gaogouli, he first solved the Turkic army. If he did not solve the Turkic army, once he sent troops to Gaogouli, he would be attacked from both sides. The Turks and Gaogouli People were attacking from the front and back, and even an army of half a million people at that time was not enough, besides, there were not so many people to call upon!
