Silence!
Silence!
There was no sound. Even the leaves falling to the ground could be heard clearly.
Everyone stared blankly at the upright figure in the middle of the field. Their hearts were filled with mixed feelings and they did not know what to say.
Li Shi Min's expression relaxed, but his heart was in turmoil.
Who would have thought…There was actually such a talented person hidden in the imperial examination.
There were more than ten poems, none of them were ordinary, they were all words of shocking talent.
It was impossible for such an unprecedented poem to be unknown, but he had never heard of it. The only explanation was that it was all written by Lu Yan.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he had already thought of so many poems.
Such talent…
How could he cheat? Just as Lu Yan said, there was no need for him to cheat.
Thinking of this, Li Shiming's gaze fell on the head examiner, and the meaning of his question was self-evident.
If he really caught a cheater and wrongly accused a good person, especially such a talented person, he would be the true laughing stock of the world.
At this moment, he did not care about Lu Yan's arrogant words from before. He was only thinking about why Lu Yan was caught cheating.
When Lu Yan saw this small action, a trace of joy flashed through his eyes.
"After reading the 300 Tang poems, even if you don't know how to compose poems, you can recite them. As expected…You're not lying to me!"
If it wasn't because he had transmigrated, otherwise... No matter how capable he was, he could not escape today's crime.
He did not expect that these poems could make him completely innocent.
However, as long as everyone's will wavered and they believed that he was not a cheater, it would be much easier to deal with the rest.
The head examiner met Li Shiming's gaze and was shocked. He immediately became uneasy.
If someone had cheated before, Li Shi Min didn't hold him responsible, and it had nothing to do with him.
But now... If he had caught someone by mistake, and it was such a talented person.
If Lu Yan did not defend himself, he would have been killed.
From then on, the Great Tang. Without a talented scholar, he had made a huge mistake.
Not only would it be difficult to protect his head, but even his own life would be in trouble.
"Your Majesty, it is a fact that this person brought along a book of poems. When the examiner was patrolling, he found some clues and reported it to the old minister. There could not be any mistakes.”
"We have been presiding over the imperial examinations for nearly ten years and are extremely familiar with all aspects. There has never been a misjudgment.”The head examiner was very certain. At this moment, he would never admit his mistakes in his work."Moreover... Poetry was an important part of the imperial examination, but it couldn't be used as an evaluation. Those who could write poetry might not be able to write good articles.”
"An essay is the decisive factor in deciding whether or not you pass the imperial examination.”
The main examiner said," Therefore, even if he has some talent in poetry, he might not be good at writing articles and copying scriptures."”
"The more talented a person is, the more unwilling they will be to fail the roll. They will lose face and will be more likely to cheat.”
At this point, the head examiner became more and more clear, and his tone was quite certain."Talent has never been comparable to human qualities. There were witnesses and evidence. He could not be exonerated just because of his words.”
Li Shi Min frowned.
Although the head examiner's words made sense, how could he not know?
Ever since his father had founded the country, the imperial examination had adopted the Jinshi system.
The Jinshi examination mainly required the candidates to write poems and Fu on specific topics, and sometimes they would also add scriptures.
One needed to be creative in order to pass the exam, and the number of scriptures that needed to be memorized was greatly reduced.
Only in this way could they select the most suitable talents to govern the country. Li Shimin had always agreed that it was impossible to produce talents by memorizing.
There was still nothing done in the officialdom.
Only when one knew how to use it flexibly would one have a way to govern the country and face all kinds of government affairs.
Otherwise, the people recruited would be people with rigid thoughts, and the country would start to decline.
Poetry was an extremely important part of it.
Being able to compose poetry meant that this person had real talent.
How could he need to carry it to fill in the content of that little bit of scripture? Instead, it was not worth it.
However, he did not show it and completely denied the examiner's words.
Instead, he looked at Lu Yan and immediately asked,"What do you have to explain?"
"The examiner is right. This commoner has no objections and agrees with the examiner.”
Lu Yan smiled in his heart.
He was worrying about how to completely clear his name.
The head examiner had set the path for him.
Someone would give her a pillow when she was sleepy.
The head examiner was considerate, so how could he refute his words?
At the same time, he was glad that the original owner of this body only brought poetry and books with him and didn't find someone to take the test for him.
Otherwise…Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to clear his name.
"Then you are certain that you cheated in the imperial examinations by bringing in poetry and books?”
Li Shimin was a little surprised. He did not expect Lu Yan to not refute him. Could it be that the head examiner was right?
He really didn't know how to write an essay, so he chose to cheat?
The head examiner did not react in time either. He originally thought that he would receive a fierce retort from Lu Yan, but unexpectedly, it was just a breeze.
"Your Majesty, I agree with the examiner's words, but it doesn't mean that I'm admitting that I cheated.”
Lu Yan replied.
Li Shiming's gaze was complicated. He had no idea what Lu Yan was up to.
Lu Yan did not explain. Instead, he smiled faintly and said in a clear voice,"I've observed the scenery of Baling. It's at Dongting Lake. Holding the distant mountains, swallowing the Yangtze River, vast soup, across the endless horizon; Morning sun and evening sun, the weather is myriad. This is the grand view of Yueyang Tower, which has been described by predecessors.”
The head examiner was stunned for a moment before he understood. He put on a long face.
How could he not know? This bastard…It started again.
