After receiving the Emperor's order, Li Jing rushed to the Chen Residence.
As soon as he entered the manor, he happened to see the little fellow returning from outside.
"
Chen An, come here!" Li Jing was furious. Why didn't you prepare for the exam properly, but instead went to a brothel to play?”
Hearing this, Chen An rolled his eyes."What's there to prepare for the exams?”
Ugh!
Li Jing was stuck.
The Great Tang War God was at his wit's end when he encountered this talented little fellow.
What right does a slacker have to lecture a top student?
Depressed.
He was really depressed.
"Little child, do you think that the Great Tang's imperial examinations are too simple?”
Chen An raised his head.”
A casual question made Li Jing completely retreat.
"Good! Good! Just you wait!"
After saying that, Li Jing left angrily and quickly.
He wanted to go to the palace to report the emperor!
Seeing the other party leave, Chen An skipped to the backyard…the
palace. Dew Palace.
"What is it? That little boy actually dared to say that the imperial examinations of the Great Tang were too simple?”
"Yes, Your Majesty. If he really said that, I couldn't find any words to refute him.”
Li Jing replied, his expression extremely dejected.
If he was a child of the Li family, he would have beaten him up directly.
Unfortunately, that little fellow wasn't one of them.
Sigh!
Li Jing sighed in his heart, feeling extremely depressed.
At this moment, Li Jing didn't know how strong the little guy was.
To be honest,
An An's martial arts skills were the best in this world.
Fortunately, Li Jing didn't make a move. Otherwise, he would have been the one lying down.
"Alright, alright! How dare that child discriminate against our Tang Imperial Examination. Someone, pass on the decree. "Nine ministers, immediately enter the palace to meet the emperor!" Li Shi Min ordered loudly.
"Here!"
The palace ordered the eunuchs to leave the palace immediately.
Not long after.
The nine ministers had arrived.
"Li Jing, tell them what happened!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Jing quickly told his colleagues what had happened.
Hearing this, the nine ministers were all indignant.
He would rather go to a brothel than prepare for the exam. Little brat, do you think we are weak?
Good, very good!
"Dear ministers, I only have one request. On the first day of next month, the most difficult question had to be set. It's as difficult as it can be." Li Shi Min said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The ministers began to think hard.
After that, they discussed with each other and strived to come up with the most difficult exam question in history. The difficulty had to be higher than the national policy question of how the country became rich.
Two hours,
four hours,
six hours…The
night was already deep.
The ministers were still discussing closely.
It was not until midnight that they finally came to a conclusion.
"Let's do this question!"
Li Shi Min made the final decision and said seriously,"Dear ministers, you are all important ministers of the country. Those who cheated in the imperial examination, regardless of their official positions, would be executed!”
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately replied solemnly,"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't leak the questions."
"Good! Anyone who leaks it will be executed immediately!"
"Here!"
The nine ministers nodded, then bowed and left the palace to go home.
…
Zi Shi. A moment later.
Fang Xuanling returned to his residence.
The mansion was brightly lit.
When they saw their master return, the wives and concubines all came forward to welcome him.
"Welcome back, Master."
"Old Master, I've made you a bowl of ginseng soup…"
Fang Xuanling waved his hand, his expression solemn."Forget it, I'm not drinking anymore. Where was Fang Yizhi? Tell him to come to the study room, right now!”
Fang Yi Zhi was the eldest son of Fang clan, he was intelligent and talented since young, he was determined to enter the official career with his own abilities.
Hearing Old Master's words, everyone was shocked and hurriedly ran to call for help.
In the study room.
Seeing his eldest son enter, Fang Xuanling immediately said solemnly,""Yizhi, don't participate in this exam!”
What was that?
"Father, what happened?" Fang Yizhi was shocked.”
"You can't get in!"
Fang Xuanling said straightforwardly.
Fang Yizhi was furious.
"Father, I started school at three and entered school at seven. Now that I'm familiar with the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, why do you say I can't pass the exam? Father, I know that as the eldest son of Fang clan, I will inherit your title in the future. But I still want to take the imperial examination with my true ability. If I can get into the top scorer, it will bring glory to Fang clan and father!”
Fang Yi Zhi spoke very quickly, as if he was using his own method to express his dissatisfaction.
He had been studying day and night for many years, but he did not expect that at the last moment when he wanted to refer to it, his father would pour a bucket of cold water on his head.
"Yizhi, listen to me. Father won't harm you. You really won't be able to get in this time.”
"Why? Father, why? I haven't even passed the exam, and you're saying that I can't. Could it be that in his father's heart, his son was so unbearable?”
Fang Yi Zhi was furious, truly furious.
Seeing his eldest son in such a state, Fang Xuanling sighed.""Sigh! Yi Zhi, do you know why the emperor added a "System" exam this year?”
"Isn't it the emperor who wants to recruit talents for the country?”Fang Yizhi replied.
Fang Xuanling shook his head."No, it's not! I'll tell you the truth: the general examination on the first day of next month is not for scholars, but for a child!”
What was that? For a young child, he had to give him the highest level of the national examination?
Fang Xuanling was shocked.
"Yes, it is indeed opened for a child. This child's name is Chen An."
It was him, the Peasant Genius?
At this moment, Fang Yizhi was stunned.
This child's name swept across Chang 'an and the Tang Empire like a hurricane.
in one day he became famous, and the world knew him.
Not to mention Fang Yizhi, even the young ladies and madams who lived in boudoirs had heard of this child's name.
"Peasant in the Afternoon" and "Ten Anshi Poem" had already spread throughout the streets and alleys.
But…
"Father, even if it's an additional exam for that child prodigy, we can still participate!”Fang Yi Zhi said unwillingly.
Fang Xuanling shook his head."No, it's different now. Today, the child had just arrived in Chang 'an. Instead of preparing for the exam, he went to visit a brothel, which made the emperor furious. For this reason, the emperor urgently summoned the important officials of the court and discussed an extremely difficult question.”
"Extremely difficult?!" Fang Yizhi repeated.
"Yes, extremely difficult. Fang Xuanling took a deep breath and whispered to his eldest son,"There's even the danger of your family being exterminated!”
Hiss!
Hearing this, Fang Yizhi gasped.
"I understand, Father. I give up this exam!"
"Good!"
Fang Xuanling nodded in satisfaction and walked out of the study.
Looking at his father's back view, Fang Yi Zhi had many questions.
What was the first year of junior high school's exam question? Why was it called the 'eternal difficulty'? Why would there be the danger of extermination?
He did not know!
At this moment, other than the emperor and the nine ministers, no one knew what it was.
It was an extremely difficult question.
It was not only related to the fate of the Great Tang Empire, but it was also related to the ancient heritage of the Huaxia civilization…
For the emperors and ministers of the dynasties, was the question of how the country became rich really important?
Important!
It was indeed very important!
However, it was not the most important problem at the moment.
In front of it, there was an even more terrifying problem. It was like a natural moat in front of the monarch and his subjects.
If this problem could not be solved, then the huge dynasty of the Central Plains would be reduced to ashes.
