Li Yunze's ambition deeply touched Li Bai's heart.
Li Bai, whose personality is similar to that of an angry youth, immediately patted his chest and promised that he would go through fire and water to realize Li Yunze's ideal.
That's what he said, and that's what he did.
Before the imperial examination was over, Li Bai took the initiative to find his friends who had participated in the imperial examination and strongly persuaded them to serve Li Yunze.
To be honest, if it is just an ordinary prince, it is really difficult to attract too many talents.
After all, Li Sanlang has thirty sons alone!
Fortunately, Li Yunze's recent market conditions have been good. Famous officials who often deal with powerful people also vaguely know that Li Yunze has the image of living in the East Palace, so many people still agree to invest in this potential stock.
Of course, at this time, the main focus of many famous officials was still on the imperial examinations, which had ended and were waiting for the results.
After much anticipation, the day has finally come for the results to be released.
Du Fu, who was slightly thin, was pacing back and forth on the street outside Gongyuan, with an obviously solemn expression on his face.
Du Fu, who was only twenty-four years old this year, was in a very complicated mood at this time.
Because the examiner was He Zhizhang, he originally planned to write some simple and elegant articles and poems to cater to the examiner.
But I saw a lot of dark things in the examination room, and I couldn't control the anger in my heart. I just wrote hard and pointed out the current problems, and I wrote very happily.
But when I calmed down after handing in the paper, I regretted it.
He is not stupid. He knows very well that what he writes does not conform to the current popular trends and will most likely be deleted directly.
In that case, there would not even be a chance to hand it over to King Shou.
Because of this, he was unbearably anxious, worried about gains and losses, and waiting here with the last glimmer of hope.
Similar to Du Fu, there were hundreds of candidates around him.
Even the noble disciples looked nervous.
After all, King Shou was in charge of the selection this time. Although everyone gave gifts to Xing Juan, there were so many people vying for a few or even a dozen positions at most, and the competition was really too great.
Great competition naturally brings pressure.
And those candidates who are not from noble families are even more nervous.
As usual, one or two places would be given to people from civilian backgrounds in previous years, but during the last imperial examination, even these places were taken away.
Compared to those noble children, they were naturally more nervous and anxious, fearing that the longevity king would continue the tradition and not give them a single spot.
Even Wang Zhihuan and Meng Haoran, who were experienced in scientific examinations, were nervous at this time.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, the door of Gongyuan was finally opened.
The scribe, holding a document tied with a ribbon in his hand, walked out with his head held high.
Seeing this scene, everyone who was waiting anxiously outside rushed forward and surrounded the scribe.
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze! What's the point of squeezing me? Whether you will pass or not has already been decided."
After all the talk, everyone finally calmed down a little, gathered around the clerk and posted the documents in their hands on the wooden board.
"Hahahahaha~~~~"
"I hit it! I hit it! I really hit it!"
"There is me, there really is me~~~"
"This is my name, see! This is my name!"
"Uuuuu~~~I finally passed the test, wuwu~~~"
"Brother Haoran, congratulations."
"Brother Ji Ling, we are happy together."
"..."
Suddenly, there were cheers and cheers all around the wooden notice.
Du Fu, who struggled to squeeze through the crowd, finally came to the board and carefully looked at the names on the board with an anxious mood.
Then, I saw a line of words 'Du Fu from Gong County...'
He didn't read the rest, and there was only one thought left in his mind: 'Am I hit? Really hit? What kind of thing can I win? ! '
When the initial excitement and excitement gradually dissipated, everyone who came back to their senses gradually realized that something was wrong.
"Everyone, everyone!"
Some scholars raised their arms and shouted, "Everyone, is anyone missing?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one responded.
The man shouted, "Everyone, who passed high school?"
Hundreds of people raised their arms almost in unison.
At this time, everyone was dumbfounded.
This, this, this, this, this, damn, all those who just came to take the exam were selected and admitted? !
All ninety-eight people who took part in the imperial examination were selected as Jinshi. This news swept through the entire Tang Dynasty like a hurricane.
In the past, when it came to the imperial examination, everyone's first impression was that it was too difficult. It was common for three or five people to be selected for one subject, and even one or two people were selected.
Now, hundreds of people have been selected at one go. This is really an exaggeration.
Regarding this matter, most people's thoughts were that King Shou was young and ignorant, and he loved talent and was happy, so they all chose him.
Even Li Sanlang, who learned the news, thought so.
In Gao Lishi's words, "His Majesty learned about this and said nothing but nonsense." '
However, Prince Li Ying lacked outstanding counselors around him, so he actually thought this was a good opportunity and mentioned the matter directly in the court. Not only would he ask King Shou to come back immediately to admit his mistake, but he would also cancel all the Jinshi who were chosen by him. Eligibility retake.
As soon as these words came out, Li Linfu immediately lowered his head and suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth.
But Zhang Jiuling was so stunned that he almost dropped the wat board in his hand.
Prince Li Ying, do you know what you are saying here? !
Li Sanlang's expression remained unchanged, but there was a flash of disgust in his eyes.
'How can he be the crown prince of a country if he is so stupid? '
Naturally, all the ministers in the court looked at him sideways.
The reason for this is simple, just look at the origins of those admitted as Jinshi.
Except for a few people, most of the selected Jinshi are from noble families!
In fact, many of their relatives are standing in this hall!
Li Ying's upper lip and lower lip will disqualify them from becoming officials. That is to offend half of the court and half of the noble families in the Tang Dynasty.
Prince Li Ying did not consider this, and only thought about taking this opportunity to attack Li Yunze's prestige.
But he didn't expect that the forty-meter-long sword he threw out would directly accidentally injure the force that couldn't be offended.
Even Li Sanlang couldn't offend so many noble families at once.
"Since the imperial court selects scholars, there is no reason to cancel them after selection." Li Sanlang ended the farce. "But it is indeed against the rules for Shiba Lang to choose so many. The selected Jinshi are all officials, and Shiba Lang is called When he comes back, the matter will be settled.
"
Naturally, everyone had no objections, and they all claimed that it was true, which was considered to have exposed the matter.
But the impact of this incident cannot be dissipated.
The most important thing is that many people are disappointed with Prince Li Ying, especially those from families who have been admitted to the imperial examinations, and regard him as someone who does not understand the rules.
On the contrary, he felt grateful to Li Yunze, who had chosen everyone. He felt that King Shou was a talkative person and was willing to share the benefits for everyone to enjoy. This is the only person who really understands the rules.
Li Yunze, who was far away in Luoyang, didn't know that Li Ying had done such a shameful thing. He was currently hosting banquets to entertain the Jinshi who were selected by him.
Regardless of the Jinshi's origins, Li Yunze at least treated them equally on the surface and tried to win over everyone.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as a tutor. What Li Yunze had to do was to shape himself into a tutor for the new scholars.
Among the ninety-eight Jinshi, many are older repeat students who take scientific examinations all year round.
Their long-cherished wish finally came true. They had great respect for Li Yunze who chose them, and the atmosphere of the banquet was naturally very harmonious.
According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, those who have passed the imperial examination need to undergo a three-year internship period to observe government affairs, and then specific tasks will be assigned.
Li Yunze talked to all the new scholars one by one and recommended them to different government administration internships based on their personal ideals, which received rave reviews.
Among them, Li Yunze invited Du Fu to be the supervisor of Prince Shou's Mansion, invited Wang Zhihuan to be the Prime Minister of Prince Shou's Mansion, invited Meng Haoran to be the captain of Prince Shou's Mansion, and invited Gao Shi to be the great farmer of Prince Shou's Mansion.
Several people did not refuse and accepted Li Yunze's invitation, becoming official officials directly.
From here, it is shown that the shortcomings of the prince's status are that there are too many talents but there are not enough positions in his hands.
Originally, there were positions for Dianjun and Deputy Dianjun in the Prince's Palace, but these positions were reserved for Li Siye and others.
Li Yunze wants to do big things and needs more help.
But the strength in his hands is insufficient, so he can only temporarily communicate with everyone.
Now, he urgently needs to get the location of the East Palace.
By the time Li Sanlang's order to recruit him back to Chang'an City arrived, he packed up with Princess Xianyi and his wife and returned to Chang'an City with many new scholars, it was already the spring of the 25th year of Kaiyuan.
During this period of time, many things happened in Datang.
Among them, what attracted Li Yunze's attention more was that Pinglu General An Lushan was defeated in the battle and was ordered to be executed according to law, but he was pardoned by Li Sanlang and came into Li Sanlang's sight.
If nothing unexpected happens, according to the historical route, he will rise to great heights in a short period of time, from being a miscellaneous Hu who can't tell where he came from, to becoming the governor of three towns.
In addition, Shi Zuqian, who deceived Xi Ren to obtain the Nuo war, also came into Li Sanlang's sight.
Because of his ability to ridicule people, Li Sanlang, who was in a good mood, even gave Shi Zuqian the name Siming, and he embarked on the road to rapid success.
In addition, the most important thing is that Zhang Jiuling lost power.
In his later years, Li Sanlang was extremely suspicious and wary of the powerful prime minister.
When he came to power, he replaced more than thirty prime ministers, and his main strategy was to replace them regularly.
Zhang Jiuling has outstanding abilities and is an upright person, but because of his uprightness, he repeatedly admonishes Li Sanlang, asking him not to be so extravagant, asking him not to use villains so much, asking him not to be so...
Moreover, he has always supported the prince Li Ying, which violated Li Sanlang's taboo.
By the time Li Yunze finally returned to Chang'an City, a storm had gradually taken shape against Zhang Jiuling and the prince.
