Li Shi Min's Regret
After four to five days.
Among the top three, Chu Wen was the only one in first place. The other two were constantly changing.
In the end, Chu Wen felt that this was really inappropriate.
Therefore, they specially created a voting mechanism.
He spent some money to choose ten locations in Chang 'an. Then, a special person would collect the votes of all the people on the list every time.
After that, he would gather them at the bookstore.
This small change immediately caused a sensation in Chang 'an.
Almost all those who could vote participated enthusiastically.
It was like chasing after stars in the future.
Chu Wen couldn't help but smile when he saw everyone's enthusiasm.
These were simply played around in the future. He did not expect them to be so popular in this era.
However, it was also good. This way, he would not have the intention of boasting about his first place.
After all, it was the scholars from the bookstore who ranked them.
The way to vote now was to prevent others from gossiping.
In fact, Chu Wen was not interested in this ranking at all.
However, the result of the vote was still somewhat unexpected.
For four to five days, not only did his ranking not drop from the rankings, but every time there was a vote, someone would write all kinds of worshipping words on the voting paper.
Chu Wen couldn't help but think that this was completely the idol chasing of later generations.
He did not expect himself to be so popular now.
However, this feeling was quite good.
The only worry was that he had to be careful when he went out in the future.
Otherwise, there would definitely be a bunch of scholars surrounding him and asking for his autograph.
At the same time.
In all parts of Chang 'an, besides discussing who would be the top scorer in the end, they were also discussing Chu Wen, who was the first place.
Everyone knew that even when the Emperor invited him, Chu Wen did not agree to become an official.
Therefore, he naturally did not associate Chu Wen with the top scorer.
Otherwise, there was no need to discuss it.
Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Ever since Chu Wen had written the poem 'Immortal by the River', the daily flow of people in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant had increased several times compared to before.
As for Miss Yue Xian, she also got what she wanted and became the publicly acknowledged number one Courtesan Belle in Chang 'an.
It could be considered as fulfilling a long-cherished wish.
At this moment, there was a public discussion going on.
Almost all of the scholars who had participated in the general exams were gathered here.
This was initiated by a few people with relatively high reputations, and the main topic was naturally to discuss the Genius Rankings.
Everyone expressed their opinions.
"If you ask me, the people on the Genius Rankings are indeed top-notch. I've also taken a look at their works, and there's not a single one who isn't outstanding.”
"That is indeed the case. However, there is still some debate about the rankings of the candidates.”
"It's just a dispute, but it's just a matter of the front row. In fact, there were only ten of them. There was not much difference between before and after.”
"That's wrong. At this level, the quality of the first place and the last place are completely different.”
"That's true. How about this? We won't comment on the others. We'll just look at the top three."
This suggestion immediately received everyone's approval.
After all, the top three always attracted more attention.
Once the appraisal began, the person who could not avoid it was Chu Wen.
Chu Wen was now a well-deserved topic of conversation in the Great Tang, and everyone began to express their opinions.
However, these opinions were all flattery.
If Chu Wen was present, he would probably blush.
"Young Master Chu, there's no need to say anything about him. If anyone dares to say that he's not the number one in the world, I'll twist my head off.”
"His poem, Immortal by the River, has such a grand structure and deep artistic conception that it's really hard to find in this world.”
"That's fine. We're all poets, so it's actually relatively easy to write poems. But Young Master Chu actually wrote such a thick Romance of the Three Kingdoms.”
"This isn't even the most awesome part. The key is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which contains countless first-rate poems. If it were any other talented person, he might be able to write one or two good poems, but if you ask him to write eight or ten poems, he still needs to be able to write them.”
Everyone nodded.
There were a lot of poems in the book of the Three Kingdoms.
"That's right. Recently, Young Master Chu's poem, Immortal Magpie Bridge, has also become extraordinary.”
"I heard that in order to avoid suspicion, Young Master Chu even specially asked his subordinates to confirm the votes. This is called noble conduct and bright integrity.”
"That's right. It's said that Young Master Chu didn't want to appear on the rankings in the first place. With his talent, there's no need for him to compete with us for the rankings.”
"Therefore, there's no need to argue about Young Master Chu's ranking. The ranking that Young Master Chu gave is the most authoritative.”
Now, Chu Wen was almost like a god in the hearts of all the scholars.
There was no other reason than that it was written too well.
Although there was a saying that there was no second best in martial arts.
However, the difference between a second-rate and a top-rate was still there.
No one had the face to compare second-rate works with top-rated works.
Therefore, in front of Chu Wen, everyone admitted defeat and had no objections.
Thus, the scholars continued to discuss the second and third place.
In the Imperial Palace.
In the royal study.
Li Shi Min looked at the list and nodded with a smile.
Then, he handed it to Li Daozong, who was reporting the matter.
"Look, your son-in-law is in the newspaper again.”
Li Daozong was stunned for a moment before he took it over. Only then did he realize that it was the Genius Rankings.
Immediately, a smug smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
If his son-in-law couldn't get first place, it really wouldn't make sense.
Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh,"You're really lucky. Why am I not so lucky?"”
"Your Majesty, you are too kind."
Li Daozong hurriedly said.
Although he was very proud of himself, he could not compare himself to the emperor.
"If you ask me, the first place is indeed for him. Moreover, if he were to be ranked first, second, and third, he should be ranked thousands of miles behind.”
Li Shi Min said with a smile.
Li Daozong didn't say much. After all, he was his son-in-law and couldn't help flatter him.
" I heard that all the scholars in Chang 'an are discussing this matter," Li Shimin continued. In fact, according to my meaning, there is no need to comment at all.”
"If Chu Wen really wants to participate in the imperial examination, then the top scholar will definitely be him.”
After sighing for a while, Li Shiming let Li Daozong leave.
Then, he picked up the newspaper and looked at the rankings. He sighed in his heart.
How creative.
What a pity, you are my favorite top scholar!
