If Shanghai Beach gave people a feeling of depression, then Myriad Rivers and Mountains Are Always Love was bright and cheerful.
The rhythm of the two was different, but it gave people the feeling that they were of the same style.
Li Longji and the others found that the two were very different, but they seemed to come from the same source.
If Li Yi was not on the boat and was beside them, he would definitely be impressed by their comments.
"This song is still good. It makes people happy." Empress Wang, who drank another mouthful of soup and ate a few ginseng roots, praised.
"Yourong, don't always think about making that child write these useless things." Noble Consort Lu advised.
She also knew that poems and songs were useless. No matter how good they were, it would be fine if they were given an official position or a position related to the Pear Garden.
"Of course not. Uncle did it casually. Uncle's talents are all on national affairs and the people's livelihood. Am I right, San Lang?"
Empress Wang liked to listen to songs, but she also knew that it was useless.
Li Longji nodded. "Yes, but many people don't understand. They just blindly pursue the beauty of the poems."
He was helpless about this. The current Tang dynasty was the trend.
Countless scholars always thought that they could get favor by writing a good poem.
But in his eyes, it was better to teach people how to grow bean sprouts or knead mud.
Li Yi was like this. He was never proud of his poems.
He took the initiative to show his poems five times. The first time was to criticize the students who stayed in the Zhang family's village.
The second time was for the girls in Pyong Kang Square.
The first time was to let the children perform in Xingqing Palace. The second time was on the night of the Lunar New Year's Eve.
The first time was to use his talent to suppress other students and give the villagers confidence.
Pyong Kang Square was to target some people and give Pyong Kang Square benefits.
The last two times were to assist the Empress.
The goal was clear and the means were direct.
As for the other times, he wrote poems casually, like it was a game.
If it was someone else who wrote such a poem, it would be crazy.
Brother Yi wrote it and then worked hard to study what was useful for the people.
Even the Rubik's Cube was created because he was afraid that the children would run over to play when the ice melted and would be in danger.
"San Lang, you can't disappoint the nation's scholars," Li Dan said to Li Longji.
"Rest assured, Imperial Father. How could this child dare to neglect Li Yi?" Li Longji said respectfully.
"When the weather warms up, we're going to stay there for a while," Li Dan requested.
"Father Emperor and Mother Consort, please go ahead. This child will give you ten cows." Li Longji said with a smile, using the cows to exchange for a chance to stay.
He wasn't worried at all that his father wanted to take over the throne.
If it was Li Yi, he believed that even if Imperial Father revealed his identity and his own identity as the Emperor, Little Brother Yi would still not support Imperial Father to ascend the throne.
In the Forbidden Garden's examination hall, the forty-two students of Zhuangzi ate a meal that was seventy percent full. They put on their eye masks and lay down to sleep.
They didn't plug their ears. They found that the small alarm clock didn't work when they plugged their ears.
With peace of mind and no worries, the students quickly fell asleep.
Some of the other students also lay down, thinking about the content of the examination or thinking about the good days after the examination.
Those who were taking the mathematics exam closed their eyes. Their minds were still filled with the mathematical symbols of the Tang dynasty.
The other examinees were in a variety of situations.
Those who couldn't answer but didn't want to leave sat there looking at the candles and worrying.
The people patrolling the examination walked back and forth, afraid that someone would accidentally knock over the candles and cause a fire.
In the night, sobbing could be heard occasionally. Now, the examinees found that they wouldn't be chosen even if they answered the questions themselves.
The imperial examination wasn't based on the number of people and then a certain percentage.
If all the examinees couldn't answer well, then none of them would be accepted.
If all the examinees answered correctly, then the best ranking would be selected. The last place would still be considered as having passed the examination.
There was only one result for those who couldn't answer.
For those who cried, officials from the Ministry of Personnel would go to check on the situation, comfort them, and persuade them to leave the examination hall. What if they went crazy if they stayed any longer?
If they wanted to leave at night, they would still open a small door.
In the past, when the examination hall's door was closed at night, no one could enter or leave.
Some examinees wanted to take the question-and-answer test, but the examiner refused. There wasn't anyone specialized to ask them questions at night.
No matter what the examinees thought, the sky gradually brightened. It was cloudy today, and it didn't look like it was going to rain. However, the wind was stronger than yesterday.
The examination hall sent food to the examinees. Millet porridge, soup, steamed buns, steamed buns, pickled vegetables.
Forty-two examinees opened their boxes again. They used the water inside to wash their faces and brush their teeth before going to the toilet outside.
When they came back, they opened their boxes and took out the frozen wontons. They boiled water and cooked the wontons to eat.
The wontons were big, and there were pork and cabbage meatballs inside.
When the wontons were cooked, they were placed in bowls and a few side dishes were placed on the table. They sat there and ate happily.
The person in charge of delivering the food knew yesterday that the people from the Zhang family Zhuangzi brought their own food.
When he saw the wontons and looked at the size and shape, he shook his head.
The Li Family Zhuangzi was indeed rich. The fragrance of the meat wafted out, and there were so many fillings.
After eating, the 42 examinees continued to answer the questions. They would be able to finish by the morning. They would eat some food at noon, check their answers, and hand in their papers.
The examinees who participated in the oral examination explained the situation and were taken away. A group of officials tested them separately. The content was the same.
The examiners were not allowed to set the questions themselves. There were difficult and easy questions. If all the questions were difficult, the examinees would not agree.
As time passed, more and more examinees went out.
The people waiting outside came forward to ask questions. The questions had already been sent out. Some people even gave the "correct" answers.
Pyong Kang Square was the liveliest. "Everyone" answered the questions and then compared them with each other.
They answered better than many of the examinees. Some even answered all the questions correctly. For example, they memorized the scriptures skillfully.
There was no problem with the current affairs policy. Writing poems was their specialty.
In the afternoon, the students from the Li Family Zhuangzi handed in their papers one by one. They got up and packed their luggage before coming out.
Zhuangzi's students were waiting outside. When they came out, they arranged for them to enter the car. When there were ten people, they were sent to Earthly Paradise to rest.
The others who came out later were waiting and chatting with each other.
"Dongzhu's questions were too good. They were all correct, including the scriptures. It was not tested in the current affairs policy, but it was used when the scriptures were posted."
"We will go first. Next year, it will be your turn."
"It's very simple. It's not difficult at all. But next year, there will be poetry questions. The others also got those rhyme books."
The "seniors" chatted with the "juniors" while waiting. Some of them were younger than the latter group.
They went to Zhuangzi first before taking the exam.
The twenty students who were inquiring about the situation were relieved. When the car came again, they loaded it and sent it away.
At the end of the day, forty-two people and twenty students all returned to Earthly Paradise.
Earthly Paradise found a car. They did not ask them to stay for dinner. They sent them back as fast as possible.
At this time, their exam papers had been placed in front of the examiner of the Ministry of Personnel. He looked at the scriptures first. There was no problem. Then he looked at the current affairs policy.
"We did not miss any questions, but they answered all the questions. Their writing is good and bad, but they did not make any mistakes. Let's look at the others. "
An assistant minister looked at the exam papers of the forty-two students. He was satisfied. This was the correct answer. The rest was easy.
He also fulfilled his promise of working for others. He was relieved.
