The audience's blood was boiling at the scene of the groom search competition.
Emperor Li Shiming, Fourth Princess Li Lizhi, and the other contestants all appeared.
Amidst the cheers and shouts.
The officials who were in charge of judging also ascended the city tower.
The main examiner and host of the theory examination was the Imperial Preceptor, the head of the civil officials, the Minister of Rites, Zhangsun Wuji!
"Silence!"
After seeing the host go on stage, the yamen guards in charge of maintaining order shouted in unison among the crowd of people.
Soon, the hundreds of thousands of people fell silent.
" The first round of the competition, compose a poem!"
"With autumn as the topic, compose a poem within 35 minutes.”
"The judges will be divided into four grades: inferior, intermediate, and superior!”
"Three points for the top class, two points for the middle class, and one point for the bottom class. Those who don't answer the question will be eliminated.”
"The winner will get four points!”
In the quiet square, Zhangsun Wuji's voice began to echo in everyone's ears along the sound amplification wall of the square.
The so-called unlimited rhythm meant that each sentence could have five or seven words.
Below the stage, the commoners were still silent.
The scholars in the guest seats also started to rack their brains, wanting to compose a poem below the stage.
As for the contestants on the stage, their expressions were also different as they began to think.
Shua!
Fang Xuanling's son, Fang Yiai, was the first to start writing.
Fang Xuanling, who was standing on the city gate tower, also revealed a proud expression.
"Lord Fang, your son is indeed a talent who relies on horses. He has the quick wit of Cao Zhi, who is well-educated and has five residences, to write a poem in seven steps!”
The civil officials beside Fang Xuanling also congratulated him and flattered him.
Fang Xuanling was pleased.
Soon, Fang Yi 'ai's poem was sent to the ground.
A few literate eunuchs immediately waved mops stained with ink.
He copied Fang Yiai's poem onto a huge piece of white cloth and hung it up.
Let everyone admire it.
"Solitary wild goose flying in the sky, wind rolling, ink drying up.
The ancient hall was mottled by the setting sun, and the sea of people was like shuttles.”
Fang Xuanling didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he read the poem.
This kid was a realist.
He wrote down what he saw at the top of the tower.
"Yes, it's normal."
Li Shi Min stroked his short beard and said,""He's good at poetry, but he lacks artistic conception!"
The civil officials began to whisper to each other.
Immediately, the results were out.
"Fang Yi 'ai, medium level! Two points!"
Eunuch Wang De loudly announced the results of the judging panel.
Seeing Fang Yi 'ai finish the poem so quickly, a few people were anxious and hurriedly wrote it.
In the end, it did not match the theme at all.
Three of them were eliminated at once.
"You don't even know how to calm down at the last moment. Ridiculous!”
Zhangsun Chong laughed and started writing.
Not long after, his poem was also posted.
" The rustling sand man rolls up the straw raincoat, and the withered mountain slopes to avoid the floating clouds.
The autumn wind brings money, buying chrysanthemum wine for half a day!”
"Your son's poem is quite artistic!”
"That's right, he has the ambition to be indifferent and reach a far future!”
Beside Zhangsun Wuji, there was also a wave of flattery.
Zhangsun Wuji stroked his beard reservedly and nodded as he looked at his son's poem.
Li Shi Min frowned and shook his head,""You look like an old man, not like a young man at all!”
When Zhangsun Wuji heard the Emperor's evaluation, his face immediately turned bitter.
Li Shimin was right.
The few officials who were sucking up immediately shut their mouths.
Otherwise, if he accidentally hit the horse's leg, it would not be fun.
After all the officials exchanged their opinions, the results were out.
"Zhangsun Wuji, superior, three points!" Wang De shouted.”
"Whoosh…"
Seeing the first high-grade person appear, there was an uproar below.
Soon, they were suppressed by the yamen guards who maintained order.
"Hmph, cowardly and incompetent Han, watch this king!”
Dieluo Zhi smiled arrogantly and also began to write.
"That Turkic prince has made his move!"
"Hmph, an uncivilized person. Let's see what he can write!”
Below the stage, there was an emotional discussion.
"It's done. You guys, take a look for yourselves!”
He stopped writing and proudly handed over his poem.
Soon, his work was hung up.
"The golden armor and silver saber are proud of the autumn wind, and the cries of ten thousand horses shake the Central Plains.
Destroy Youzhou like dry weeds and rotten wood, and there will be a time to drink horses in the Wei River!”
Li Shi Min narrowed his eyes.
"How dare you! You should be killed!"
"The Turkic thieves won't give up!"
"Kill the Turks!"
Below the stage, there was an uproar.
The officials on the city gate tower also glared at Die Luozhi.
"Hahahaha!"
Die Luozhi wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he let out an arrogant laugh.
"Silence!"
Li Shi Min shouted, and the whole place fell silent.
"In terms of poetry, our Great Tang is not so bad that it can't accommodate a single poem!”
He glanced at Die Luozhi from the corner of his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead man.
The commoners also glared at Die Luozhi. A suppressed hatred was spreading in the crowd.
Since the Emperor had already spoken, the officials began to discuss poetry.
Soon, the results were out.
"Dieluo Zhi, high grade!"
Head Eunuch Wang De's voice echoed in the silent square.
