In the main hall of the examination room, Luo Zhang was leisurely thinking about what would happen after becoming the top scholar and marrying Gao Yang, while the candidates were thinking hard about the examination questions.
Although they were aggrieved, they did not dare to say anything more. The argument at this time had no meaning at all. Luo Zhang was already the confirmed number one. They could only fight for themselves to win the third place and second place. This Luo Zhang could no longer compete with Let them fight.
After many candidates finished the exam, Luo Zhang almost fell asleep. He answered the questions too quickly. It didn't take much time. Unlike other candidates, who had to calculate for a long time to write the answer, and he didn't know the correct answer. wrong.
After collecting all the answer sheets, the candidates breathed a sigh of relief, as if they were fished out of the water. The Nine Palaces Picture Test almost made them collapse.
The exam is finally over. There are four exams today, and there will be three exams tomorrow. When a group of students walked out of the imperial city and saw their families waiting outside, they almost cried. It was impossible not to cry. Today’s scientific exam was exactly like They thought differently. Not only did the test questions change, but they also suffered Luo Zhang's whipping, which left them completely bruised.
It was so embarrassing for them to be born into a working class, but yet they got first place in four subjects.
When people from these aristocratic families learned that Luo Zhang actually got the first place in four subjects today, they were all in an uproar. Some didn't believe it, some cursed, some were puzzled, and some lamented. In short, they were all jealous of Luo Zhang. I feel that Luo Zhang is not worthy of taking the first place in the four subjects. If His Majesty had not changed the test questions, it would definitely not be Luo Zhang who excelled today.
Almost all members of the aristocratic family believed that this was a back door opened by His Majesty for Luo Zhang, in order to make Luo Zhang the top three in the imperial examination and allow Luo Zhang to marry Gao Yang smoothly.
Of course, they can only think about this in their hearts and dare not say it out loud.
Unlike these people's complicated mood, Luo Zhang walked out of the imperial city happily.
Outside the imperial city, Wu Shaobin was waiting for him holding his horse. When he saw Luo Zhang walking out with a smile on his face, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet Luo Zhang.
"How?" Wu Shaobin handed the horse to Luo Zhang and asked at the same time.
Luo Zhang smiled, shook his head, and made a mounting posture that he thought was very handsome. Then he said to Wu Shaobin: "There is no reason why I, Luo Zhang, can't succeed in riding. This imperial examination is simply too easy. I don't know how to do it." I got first place in four subjects without using any thought. I really don’t know how these students learned it after studying hard for ten years, but they couldn’t even pass me. They are all so stupid!”
Wu Shaobin looked at Luo Zhang with his mouth wide open, with a confused look on his face. The only thing in his mind was what Luo Zhang just said. He got the first place in four subjects?
"You said you got first place in four subjects? You didn't lie to me, did you? Is this true?"
Luo Zhang glanced at Wu Shaobin and hummed: "Why, you don't believe in your brother-in-law's ability? Don't you see that those people are like dead parents, and none of them have a smiling face?"
Wu Shaobin looked around at the candidates who had just come out. Sure enough, as Luo Zhang said, they were all like eggplants beaten by frost. They were completely lack of energy, and they were pointing at Luo Zhang as if they were talking about something. But in front of them After saying that, the faces of the family members who greeted the candidates changed and became very gloomy.
If you still can't understand this, then his many years as the commander of the Jinwu Guard have been in vain.
"Do you believe it now? Your brother-in-law is very good. These people are no match for me. I, Luo Zhang, wave my sleeves and all the candidates from the Tang Dynasty will be wiped out." Luo Zhang pretended.
Wu Shaobin was speechless during this pretense competition, but what could he say? Luo Zhang actually ranked first in four subjects. Anyone was qualified to perform the pretense competition.
On the way back, Luo Zhang told Wu Shaobin about today's exam in general, and at the same time asked Wu Shaobin to send someone to keep an eye on Li Yifu and pay attention to all his movements. As long as Li Yifu wanted to leave Chang'an City, he would tell him immediately or stop him. also.
Although he didn't know why Luo Zhang asked him to stare at a candidate, he still did it. Luo Zhang must have his reasons for doing this, as long as he believed in him.
After returning home, when grandma learned that Luo Zhang actually got the first place in four subjects in the imperial examination today, she was not overjoyed immediately. Instead, she ran to the ancestral hall to appeal to the ancestors of the Luo family. This made Luo Zhang very speechless. He didn't see his grandma being so excited when he came first in the martial arts competition. He didn't know that he only ranked first in four subjects in the imperial examination, but his grandma wanted to appeal to his ancestors.
Luo Zhang didn't know that in the hearts of the ancients, they still valued literature over martial arts. They all hoped that their family would have a literary champion instead of a martial arts champion. Fighting and killing had never been what grandma wanted to see. She had watched her husband for her whole life. He was a warrior, and he died in battle. Several of his sons were also warriors, and they followed in their father's footsteps and died in battle.
Therefore, she never wanted Luo Zhang to go to the battlefield or even have a military position. Instead, she hoped that Luo Zhang could enter the official career and become an official, so that he would not have to charge into battle. After all, Luo Zhang was the only one in the Luo family. How could he charge into battle? That doesn’t mean that the Luo family will be extinct! Luo Zhang's mission is to give Luo Zhang a lot of development. If Luo Zhang didn't agree, grandma would even want to marry Luo Zhang and give birth to seventeen or eight children.
Luo Zhang was almost frightened to death when he found out about his grandma's idea. He was not a middle-aged man and would marry ten or eighty-year-olds and have seventeen or eighty children. So shouldn't he just stop getting out of bed? Living on leeks and kidneys every day?
Of course Luo Zhang refused this kind of thing. He would not let himself become a middle-class man. If he wanted to marry, he would marry someone he liked. How could he marry someone he didn't like? Except of course, Gao Yang, who was forced by Li Shimin. Yes, he has to marry even if he doesn’t want to.
But now Luo Zhang has thought of a way to cure Gao Yang, and no longer worries about her cuckolding him. At worst, Gao Yang can't get out of bed every day. He is not afraid of leeks and kidneys at all. He doesn't have many women anyway. .
At night, the hall of Luo Mansion was extremely lively. Because Luo Zhang got the first place in four subjects, the Luo family was very happy. They didn't know anything. Luo Zhang got the first place in four subjects, which is equivalent to getting the top prize. After His Majesty made the final announcement, they were celebrating in advance.
Naturally, Luo Zhang would not refuse. Only when everyone is happy is he truly happy. It is normal to exchange cups for cups.
But when the meal was halfway through, Chen Kuifeng came to him and whispered a few words in his ear. Luo Zhang's expression did not change, and he still drank from the wine glass as if nothing had happened.
After finishing a glass of wine, Luo Zhang stood up and left the hall on the pretext of going to the toilet.
Arriving outside, Luo Zhang's face suddenly darkened, and after waving, Chen Kuifeng came to Luo Zhang.
"Approximately how many people are there? What are their strengths?" Luo Zhang asked.
"It was too dark to see how many people there were, but I caught a master of the Qi Sense Realm, but I couldn't understand what he said. He doesn't seem to be from the Tang Dynasty." Chen Kuifeng said with a serious face.
"Huh? You can't understand what he's saying? Take me to see him!"
Chen Kuifeng took the lead and took Luo Zhang to a house in the front yard. In the house, a man was tied up with a cloth stuffed in his mouth. He was whimpering and unable to move or speak.
Luo Zhang took off the cloth from his mouth and heard a burst of jabbering words.
"Gaoguli people!" Luo Zhang snorted coldly as soon as he heard what he said.
"Are they from Gaoguli? Could it be that they are together with the gang from last time and are here to take revenge on you?" Chen Kuifeng said with a somewhat ugly face. Last time he was envied by Li Jun for assassinating that gang of Gaoguli people. He was arrested. If Luo Zhang hadn't been afraid that he would still be in jail now, let alone curing his wife Lai Fengyi's illness.
Therefore, he could not tolerate someone assassinating Luo Zhang, let alone a person from Gaoguli!
"Probably not. I met an envoy from Gaogouli during this scientific expedition. I'm afraid these people were sent by her."
As Luo Zhangzheng was talking, Wu Shaobin also walked in. He had just received the news and rushed over.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard the Gaogouli man talking loudly, and his face also turned ugly.
Luo Zhang waved to them, and then explained to them what happened during the imperial examination and his guess.
When they heard that there was actually an envoy from Gaoguli participating in the scientific examination and the questions asked by His Majesty in the scientific examination, the two of them immediately knew that what Luo Zhang said must be right. It was definitely this woman who sent someone here.
