Chapter 93: Brother Ninety-two(1/2)

Chapter 93 Brother Chapter 92 Li Shimin’s wasted effort

"Well, Zhongda thinks it should be the best volume!"

Kong Yingda, who has the highest reputation, and Wei Zheng, who has the highest official position, both agreed that they should be the superior scrolls.

Other grading examiners naturally followed the general trend.

For the first time since the imperial examination, the ten examiners unanimously agreed that the above-mentioned examination papers had appeared.

At this moment, Li Shimin was still thinking about how to let Li Gen win the first place in the classics examination.

As everyone knows, inside the Gongyuan, the dust has already settled.

After lunch on the second day, Li Shimin sent Li Junxian to Gongyuan.

"Jun Xian, you come in with tea, just ask Wei Zheng or Kong Yingda."

"If Li Gen is on the list, we must let them put Li Gen's name at the top of the list, and say it is my word of mouth!"

"Forget it, Wei Zheng should forget it. This old boy accepts death. If he doesn't have the ability at all, even if I chop off Wei Zheng's head, he won't change."

Li Shimin knew that if he didn't send Li Junxian there again.

It would be too difficult to change it after the red list is finished.

Li Junxian respectfully accepted the order and left.

But about a quarter of an hour later, Li Junxian came back.

"Jun Xian, has the red list been decided?"

"Your Majesty, your subordinate has just entered the Gongyuan, and the red list is starting to enter the list of candidates."

"Your Highness holds the top spot high, and your subordinates can see it with your own eyes!"

Li Shimin sat up excitedly.

"Jun Xian, is this true?"

"Your Majesty, I see how happy you are. How can I deceive you?"

Li Junxian saw that Li Shimin was a little overwhelmed with excitement, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, okay, that's great!"

"I still want to use the power in my hands to put Gen'er at the top of the list."

"I didn't expect that this kid is so ambitious that he actually did it on his own."

"Mountains will fall if you rely on them, they will flow if you rely on water, they will run if you rely on others, and it is best if you rely on yourself!"

"Gen'er, you're right!"

Li Shimin sighed deeply with emotion.

"When someone comes, immediately send an edict to Prime Minister Du, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Qin Shubao and others!"

Li Shimin gave an order!

Li Delu, the chief chamberlain, immediately hurried down to arrange for the chamberlains to go to various mansions to convey His Majesty's oral instructions.

"My dear friends, please take a seat!"

Fang Xiang and others soon arrived at the imperial study room.

Li Shimin was in a good mood and asked everyone to take their seats with a smile.

Li Shimin, who originally wanted to take most of the benefits, naturally would not give up the fat that comes to his mouth.

However, since he really had no contribution, Li Shimin was quite embarrassed to receive this benefit.

As the saying goes: If you are thick-skinned, eat enough!

Li Shimin's thickness of skin is definitely top-notch.

"My dear friends, the first imperial examination, the red list has been released!"

"It really lived up to expectations and came out on top!"

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji felt confident.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, His Majesty already knew the results before the Kaogong Lang reported to him.

It seems that His Majesty has indeed put in all his efforts!

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"

Everyone congratulated him one after another!

Cheng Yaojin was even more happy from ear to ear. He could already see the golden mountains waving to him.

"My dear friends, each of you can take this contract."

Li Shimin returned the six contracts to everyone.

"As long as I'm here, you don't have to worry about not getting the money back."

"If they set up a gambling game for the second poetry show, my dear friends, believe me, just ask Chong'er and Chumo to place their bets!"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin immediately added.

"Your Majesty, please bet as much as we have. How can His Highness's talent be compared to that of others!"

Some people are happy and some are worried!

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling is a person who thinks about things in the long term.

"Your Majesty, don't be too hasty right now. The energy of their families..."

Fang Xuanling did not say anything clearly next.

Du Ruhui also nodded.

Li Shimin naturally understood the meaning of Fang Xiang and Du Xiang.

This is because he is worried that if he takes too long a step, he will easily pull his balls!

"Okay, what Prime Minister Du Xiang reminds is, let them make some more money, and don't place any more bets on the second poetry exam."

"Ask Chong'er and Chumo to tell their children that the money on the contract can be settled after the imperial examination is over."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui spoke approvingly.

Afterwards, Li Shimin specially kept Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

"Xuanling, Keming. It's true that I was a little out of my mind just now."

"Your Majesty, everything must be planned slowly and carefully."

"Now is the time to employ people. The Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are in the imperial court, occupying most of the country. There are also officials from all over the country who have the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes."

"I understand your Majesty's intention. A single move can affect the whole body! But it's too early now, so we can only take it step by step."

After listening to Fang Xuanling's words, Li Shimin nodded solemnly.

………

"Grandpa, I'm gone. If I haven't come back in two hours, it means I passed the first postgraduate exam and will continue to the second poetry exam!"

In the manor, Li Gen smiled and greeted his grandfather.

"Grandson, I believe you must have seen it. Last night, grandpa had a dream about a dragon hovering over our manor."

Li Yuan laughed loudly and said.

"Grandpa, be careful, Long is the destined emperor. If someone else spreads the news to the emperor, our family will be in great trouble."

"Hey, this is our manor, there are no outsiders here!"

After Li Yuan finished speaking, the four dogs ran outside.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving, Brother Chu Mo and the others are here."

Li Gen waved his hand and led the horse towards the door.

Changsun Chong, Cheng Chumo and others galloped over.

"Seventh brother, do you have the contract with you?"

After listening to Cheng Chumo's words, Li Gen took out the contract.

"Seventh brother, give me the contract, and I will help seventh brother get the money back!"

"So, the red list has been announced?"

Li Gen looked at Cheng Chumo with a smile.

"No, no, it's not the right time yet, but I think the seventh brother will definitely top the list!"

Li Gen smiled and nodded when he heard this, and gave the contract to Cheng Chumo.

"Brother Chu Mo, I'd like to lend you some good words!"
