Living Leisurely in Tang Dynasty

His Majesty Li Er looked for the location of Li Yuanying and looked towards Li Yuanying for a while.

Seeing Li Yuanying talking to the person in front of him, His Majesty Li Er asked Kong Yingda who was the supervisor in front of him.

Of course it is impossible for Kong Yingda to recognize all the supervising students, but he really knew Tang Guan and replied: "That is Tang Guan, the son of Tang Shangshu."

His Majesty Li Er knows when he mentions Tang Shangshu, they are still in-laws after all. Li Yuanying also didn't know what he had said to the other person, causing the other person to turn back in a black face. Thinking about how annoying Li Yuanying usually speaks, Li Er can guess that it must be Li Yuanying who is annoying again.

His Majesty Li Er didn't read it anymore, leaving someone to ask him to wait to lead Li Yuanying to Zhishe, and he and Kong Yingda went to read the articles written by the supervisors to see if there were any outstanding talents.

An edict was issued last year to allow talents from all over the country to come to Beijing to participate in Chunwei, and there are quite a few supervisors in the Imperial College. Kong Yingda knew everything in his heart, and took articles that he thought was good and presented them to His Majesty Li Er. The monarchs and his party divided into several volumes, and when they read the subtleties, they selected them for discussion.

When the article was finished, the people who stayed in the school did not bring Li Yuanying back. They only brought words back to say that Li Yuanying ran to dinner, and asked them to tell him that he would come back to the emperor after he finished eating! After all, the emperor brother can see you at any time, and the dishes will not taste good when they are cold!

His Majesty Li Er's face was sullen, and he looked left and right. Wei Zheng and others were all sitting awkwardly, as if they had heard everything.

His Majesty Li Er put aside the article in his hand, got up and said, "Let's go, let's also taste the dinner at the Imperial College."

Kong Yingda glanced at Wei Zheng and saw that Wei Zheng had no intention of persuading, so she got up and led His Majesty Li Er and his party to the cafeteria. Because Majesty Li Er came here in a micro service, although many supervisors had seen Majesty Li Er presiding over the ceremony from a distance, they did not dare to look carefully at the appearance of Majesty Li Er, so there were not many people when Majesty Li Er walked into the cafeteria. Recognize him.

On the contrary, more people knew Kong Yingda. Seeing Kong Yingda coming, they all stood up cautiously to bow to him. Kong Yingda waved his hand and motioned to the supervising students to continue to eat their own meals, without getting up, trouble, the movement is still big!

His Majesty Li Er saw Li Yuanying's group of people sitting together eating happily, and walked straight over.

Li Zhi first saw His Majesty Li Er, and hurriedly pulled Li Yuanying, motioning him to get up to greet him.

Li Yuanying saw that Li Er’s face was a bit stinky, and immediately got up to make a place for Li Er, and actively welcomed Li Er's arrival: "Brother Emperor, why are you here? Are you hungry? I will get it for you. Some food!" After saying that he didn't give His Majesty Li Er the time to react, he ran away, leaving the others nervously staying in place, all hesitating whether to get up and salute.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand in the position vacated for him by Li Yuanying, so that other people would not be restrained. There were so many people around, making too much noise would easily attract too many people's attention.

Others moved out one after another to let Kong Yingda and others sit down.

Li Yuanying slipped fast and came back fast. After slipping away, he quietly counted the people's heads, and told the people around Li Er to pass the meals corresponding to the number of meals to Wei Zheng and the others.

Knowing that His Majesty Li Er came to see Li Yuanying several people specially, and all the accompanying people listened to Li Yuanying's dispatch in silence.

When Li Yuanying came back from her busy schedule, she happily sat back next to His Majesty Li Er, and introduced the food today to His Majesty Li Er. Today is still two meat and two vegetarian dishes. Although it is not a big dish, the better is that the meat is cooked well, and the dishes are fresh and tender. good.

His Majesty Li Er is not a picky eater, I have tasted them one by one, and think it's good to have such a meal every day.

The group of people finished their meals. His Majesty Li Er saw that many of the supervisors around him were uncomfortable, and led Li Yuanying to get up and leave the cafeteria.

Li Yuanying and Li Zhi followed his Majesty Li Er from left to right, with a Chengyang behind them.

Li Yuanying didn't think there was anything wrong with her decision to eat first, so she followed His Majesty Li Er step by step and asked: "Brother Emperor, do you think it tastes good? It's not bad, right?"

His Majesty Li Er glanced at him and said faintly: "I am afraid that if I say it is delicious, the Fengtai Building on the other end will display a banner saying,'The emperor will say it is good if you eat it.'"

Li Yuanying was not ashamed of being pierced by someone's abrupt thinking. He humiliatedly followed the words of His Majesty Li Er and praised: "Brother Emperor, why your mind is so good, I didn't expect it! I'll talk to Dong Xiaoyi when I look back and let him put out a banner!"

His Majesty Li Er didn't hold back, raised his hand and knocked on his forehead.

Li Yuanying clutched his painful forehead and decided to ignore him.

His Majesty Li Er ignored him and turned to ask how Li Zhi and Chengyang were staying in the Imperial College.

Li Zhi is very honest, saying that he ate well at the Imperial College, and learned well. Although the progress is not the same as in the palace, there are many people and he can discuss questions at any time. It feels very good.

Chengyang nodded in response.

His Majesty Li Er asked them what books they had read, and picked some questions to test them. The result was naturally very satisfied. Seeing that it was evening, His Majesty Li Er told them not to follow, and to study at the Imperial College, he should go back to the palace.

Li Yuanying was waiting for Li Er to ask him questions all the way. After reading so many books, he was not afraid of taking school exams, and he was sure to surprise the emperor!

As a result, His Majesty Li Er never spoke to him again, so he was leaving.

Li Yuanying frantically pulled at the corners of His Majesty Li Er's sleeve.

His Majesty Li Er looked at him.

"You haven't tested me yet" written on Li Yuanying's face.

His Majesty Li Er said slowly: "Didn't you say,'Brother Emperor can see you at any time, and the food will not taste good when it is cold.' Why are you reluctant to leave me?"

Only then did Li Yuanying know that His Majesty Li Er was so angry, why the dignified monarch is so stingy!

Li Yuanying said frankly: "When the food is cold, it won't taste good!"

His Majesty Li Er didn't bother to care about him, and then he seemed as naive as this kid. He said: "If you learn well, I will allow you to take the Jinshi exam later. How about? Can you pass the exam? The Jinshi Prince, that's the only one for Datang."

Although the children of the clan can also study at the Hongwenguan, which is affiliated to the Imperial College, there has not been a precedent for the children of the clan to participate in the imperial examination. After all, no matter how poor the clan’s children are, they can be divided into a fief to support themselves. They don’t need to walk the hard imperial examination road with the poor family. The titles that others can earn in most of their lives will be born!

Therefore, when he changed to another clan clan, he would definitely not be tempted to hear the words of His Majesty Li Er. Who wants to spend that time to earn a bigger official? What's so great about Jinshi? Only those guys who come from a poor background will squeeze their heads for Jinshi!

Li Yuanying is different. As soon as Li Yuanying heard "One of the Tang Dynasty", his eyes lit up: "Really?"

His Majesty Li Er said: "As long as you can pass the exam, it is true."

Li Yuanying was eager to try: "What is so difficult about that, I will definitely be able to pass it!"

His Majesty Li Er drew such a big cake. Li Yuanying felt that the emperor was not bad, and happily sent his Majesty Li Er to the gate of the Imperial College.

Entrance to the Imperial College is the pursuit of all the poor students of the Imperial College, and it is also the direction for many of the younger generations to be gilded. Therefore, most of the people who enter the Imperial College take the imperial examination as the goal.

Li Yuanying is not the same. Li Yuanying originally came to the exam just to pit Wei Yin. When he entered the Imperial College, it was his emperor's brother who said that he was annoyed by the dude and corrupted the supervision. Now the dude is almost ready, and the idea he thought has been implemented. If Li Er did not say that he should be admitted to the scholar, Li Yuanying will definitely start messing around after his freshness is completely passed.

Now His Majesty Li Er put a hook for Li Yuanying, and Li Yuanying suddenly had a new goal. Li Yuanying hadn't studied how the Jinshi was admitted, so he sent away His Majesty Li Er and went to Zhishe to catch someone and ask what happened. When Dr. Ma was not there, Li Yuanying found Dr. Shen and asked Dr. Shen how to test for Jinshi.

Dr. Shen was shocked when he heard that His Majesty Li Er allowed him to take the exam. Are you really going to get a Jinshi prince out? Isn't it messy? But the imperial law did not say that the clan’s children were not allowed to take the exam, and people wanted to make progress. Can you not allow others to make progress?

Dr. Shen gently stroked his beard and explained the basic rules to Li Yuanying: First, the talents recommended by the township were concentrated in the county for one round, and the real talents were selected and sent to the prefecture for another round. Those who passed the examination were taken to Beijing in October of that year. Take an exam. Generally speaking, there will be Chunwei in February of the second year, and you can pass the Mingjing and Jinshi subjects.

Ming Scripture is for learning. It is dedicated to the examination of Scripture. It is necessary to memorize the classics and understand its meaning; Jinshi is to recruit scholars, which is to give you a big topic related to the people's livelihood and the family and country. Let you talk about it. How to solve such a problem?

The Imperial College is not the same. The supervisors of the Imperial College have a dismissal of students. After a few years of study, they can take the exam after passing the exam in the prison. On the contrary, if you fail to meet the requirements of Guozijian after five years of examinations, Guozijian should dismiss the student; even if you meet the requirements of Guozijian, those who fail to pass the examination for nine years will be sent to prison.

Therefore, most of the supervised students of the Imperial College were around 14 years old when they enrolled. The youngsters at this age have the most energetic energy. The next few years are the best time to study. If you don’t pass the exam for the next nine years, you will have to go through it year after year!

Dr. Shen said: "It is not easy to take a scholarship. You have to be able to write articles, and you have to learn poetry." He patiently taught, "Your Highness, you are still young and you don't have a wide range of knowledge. You will be immature when you write an article. If you really want to go to high school. , You have to read more, spend more time with friends, broaden your knowledge, and don’t have the slightest slack. Think about it, you are very smart, yes, but there is no shortage of smart people in the world. Datang’s most outstanding talents, even if you can be smarter than them, a diligent one may still be able to compare you."

Li Yuanying listened carefully and felt that Dr. Shen made sense.

But he was let go of the boastful words, and if you give up and don't take the exam, you will lose face!

Li Yuanying decided to face the difficulties!

He took Dr. Shen to ask himself what book he should read, and then asked anyone who wrote a good article, while asking, jot it down, turning back to read and ask for advice.

At night, Tang Guan went out to patrol the people who organized the Supervisory Committee. Li Yuanying couldn't sleep, so she pulled Tang Jing and they asked everyone when they were going to take the test.

Tang Jing has been in school for almost two years. It is almost time for him to have a try in the coming year. He should take the Mingjing course because he has decided to administer the I Ching and the Book of Rites. Generally speaking, it means that Jingke is read through. The Five Classics and Dictatorship are almost the same.

Others also have their own direction.

Some of them bear the expectations of their families, some bear the recommendations of the township, and some bear the kindness of mentors. Everyone has a direction for everybody, and everybody has a reason for everyone’s hard work, everybody. There are things they want to do anyway. Because they have carefully planned the future clearly, even if the conditions in the Imperial College were a bit difficult, they can still get up and study every day.

Li Yuanying was very impressed.

When Tang Guan came back, Li Yuanying had finished talking with the others and lay down. The others were already asleep, but Li Yuanying was still thinking about things with his eyes open.

Hearing the sound of Tang Guan drilling under the quilt, Li Yuanying turned her head and found that Tang Guan had covered herself with the quilt.

Li Yuanying stretched out his hand to pull at Tang Guan's quilt.

Nothing happened.

Li Yuanying talked again.

Tang Guan glared at him with his head exposed.

Li Yuanying whispered to him: "It's not good to sleep with your head covered!"

Tang Guan didn't say a word.

Li Yuanying asked him again: "Are you going to be admitted to the Jinshi?"

Tang Guan ignored him.

Li Yuanying muttered to herself: "I didn't want to take the exam. Brother Huang said that he could let me take the exam. I thought it would be fun to take the exam. It's so prestigious to be the first prince of scholars in the Tang Dynasty." Li Yuanying and Tang Guan Speaking of the reason why I can’t fall asleep, “But I heard that everyone knows what I want to do and what I can do in the future. I want to do another thing without finishing it."

With the moonlight, Tang Guan suddenly saw the confusion and entanglement in Li Yuanying's eyes.

After all, Tang Guan could not continue to ignore people, and replied: "You should live like this at your age. If you are only eleven or twelve years old, you should live clearly. What's the point of living? Try everything. Only then do you know what you want to do, what you don’t want to do, what you can and can’t do. When others understand, it may be because others have tried it. Which one is not bigger than you here?"

When Li Yuanying heard it, she suddenly understood that this is the reason!

If you don't try it, how do you know what you want to do and what you can do?

Li Yuanying became happy and praised Tang Guan with scorching eyes: "Senior brother, you are really amazing. I can figure it out when you say this!"

Tang Guandao: "Shut up, it's time to sleep."

Li Yuanying shut up obediently, and soon fell asleep sweetly.

Tang Guan lay flat, looking at the dark roof with his eyes open.

I can't sleep a bit.

The author has something to say:

Little Prince: At this moment, I suddenly feel familiar...

Nephew: Because you have pitted me like this before?
