What Is This?
Gu Hao was enlightened.
"So it's the number one meritorious minister of Lingyan Pavilion, Zhangsun Wuji. Eh, Li Er seemed to have said that he wanted to betroth Princess Chang Le to me? Why do I remember that in history, Princess Changle was Zhangsun Wuji's daughter-in-law?”
Gu Hao thought to himself.
He had no interest in Princess Chang Le at all. At this moment, he only wanted to leave this hall safely and go home to study the system.
"It's normal for Lord Zhangsun to have doubts.”Gu Hao thought for a moment, and all the poems he had memorized in his previous life appeared in his mind. He felt relieved and smiled." Why don't Lord Zhangsun come up with a question too?”
Everyone was stunned.
Zhangsun Wuji glanced at Gu Hao, then at Li Shiming.
Li Shi Min thought for a while, then nodded and said,"Fuji, why don't you come up with a question to test this top scorer?”
"His Majesty has acknowledged Gu Hao as the top scholar.”At this moment, many ministers were keenly aware of Li Shiming's change in attitude towards Gu Hao.
"Becoming the top scorer should be the proudest thing in your life, right?”Zhangsun Wuji said.
"I guess so."
Gu Hao replied.
In his heart, he thought that becoming the top scorer was probably the most unlucky thing in his life.
Zhangsun Wuji continued,"Write a poem based on your experience of becoming the top scorer and your current state of mind."”
"This question is not bad." Li Shiming nodded. This question could truly test Gu Hao's true talent and knowledge, and there was no room for any falsehood.
All the civil officials nodded. They all felt that it was indeed difficult to use the poems written in the past.
Gu Hao blinked. Why did he feel like this was another free question?
"Maybe I've memorized too many ancient poems in the past.”Gu Hao cursed in his heart. He put on a contemplative expression and started walking again.
One step, two steps, three steps;
Going back…
Four steps, five steps, six steps!
"The filth of the past is not worth praising, but the debauchery of the present is boundless.”
Gu Hao chanted softly," The spring breeze is proud, and the horse gallops fast. I can see all the flowers in Chang 'an in one day.”
The entire hall was silent.
The generals continued to observe the expressions of the civil officials and found that most of their eyes were shining again.
Actually, this time, many generals understood what Gu Hao was saying and felt that the poem he recited was quite moving.
However, they didn't know how to appreciate it, so they could only determine the quality of the poem by observing the expressions of the civil officials.
"Another masterpiece." Many civil officials secretly praised.
Zhangsun Wuji was silent. He retracted his right hand into his sleeve and rubbed his green jade ring. His heart sank slightly.
"This poem is straightforward and on point. It is another masterpiece.”
Li Shi Min thought.
"The two masterpieces of this imperial examination will soon spread throughout Chang 'an.”Wei Zheng, who had just surrendered, said with a smile.
The officials were stunned, and then many of them had a playful expression.
Li Shi Min's eyelids twitched. Once the matter in the imperial court was spread, wouldn't his words be known by the entire city?
From the corner of his eye, he saw Wei Zheng's body move. Li Shiming's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, I think these two poems of the scholar are both excellent works.”Wei Zheng took a step forward and said with a faint smile," The position of the top scholar is worthy of its name.
I think we can discuss the wedding date for the scholar and Prince Changle now.”
"Ahem…"
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, many ministers started coughing, their faces flushed red.
Zhangsun Wuji's heart clenched as his expression darkened uncontrollably.
"This old dog is really petty." Zhangsun Wuji cursed in his heart.
Last year, in order to further win over Wei Zheng, Li Shimin had planned to marry Wei Zheng and choose a princess to marry Wei Zheng's eldest son.
Zhangsun Wuji considered that this might cause a rift between the old ministers of Prince Qin's Mansion. After all, Wei Zheng was just a surrendered minister!
He used the excuse that 'Wei Zheng's son is still young, but not necessarily good to be older' to persuade Li Shimin to give up the idea of marriage.
Somehow, the news reached Wei Zheng's ears…
Li Shi Min's face was stiff as he glared at Wei Zheng in anger.
When did I say that I would betroth Lizhi to Gu Hao?
What I said just now was just…out of anger!
After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he returned to his original position. He looked down at his nose and his heart, unmoving like a mountain.
Gu Hao was a little confused when he heard the chaotic sounds around him.
When did I say I wanted to marry Princess Chang Le?
"This official's background is humble, hehe, definitely not worthy of the princess.”Gu Hao snorted and spoke in time to stop the farce." Your Majesty must have been joking just now. You can't take it seriously.”
"You are not joking. How can you play around?" Wei Zheng opened his eyes and said lightly," Could it be that the top scholar thought that His Majesty would go back on his word and take back what he said?”
“………”
Gu Hao laughed dryly, not knowing what to say.
Li Shimin glared fiercely at Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng was unmoved.
The noisy hall gradually became silent as everyone waited for Li Shiming's decision.
"Please don't agree."
Gu Hao prayed to himself.
He had just arrived and was not interested in marrying a princess.
He only wanted to go home and study the system thoroughly before talking about other things.
"What Zhen said…naturally counts.”
Li Shiming said with a fake smile. He wanted to cut Wei Zheng alive.
Gu Hao frowned.
What was this?
How did he become the Prince Consort?!
