Chapter 659: After the Imperial Examination

The sun sets to the west. As the intensity of the sunlight weakens, the wind around begins to float, making people who were originally hot and shudder suddenly.

When the coolness came, the students who were taking the exam were blown to wake up a while.

As the sun approached dusk, the students also completed the last test paper, and the last stick of incense was ignited.

The last test paper is to take the political affairs test, and the content is a reference for the topics Cen Wenben and Wei Zheng selected by Fang Xuanling. The last test paper has no correct answer.

Seeing that the students could not finish writing, Gu Qing looked at Chu Suiliang in confusion, "What is the test in this last document?"

Chu Suiliang looked at Gu Qing, "Don't you know?"

"I haven't seen it."

Chu Suiliang changed his seat and said, "The last test paper, Cen Wenben used the matter between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty."

"What do you think is Lu Dongzan's first time asking for the Princess of the Tang Dynasty?"

"That's right." Chu Suiliang nodded, "The Tubo soldiers entered Songzhou and then Tubo came to the Tang Dynasty to seek princesses. The topic is assumption. If it weren't for your Gu Qing's firearm that repelled the Tubo's invasion, how should the Tang Dynasty do the best interests."

"This question has a reason," Shangguan Yi also said, "All assumptions are when you, Gu Qing, are not there."

"It's interesting." Gu Qing nodded with a smile.

"There is no absolutely correct answer, everyone expresses their opinions, and the tricky question is also very wonderful." Shangguan Yi took a sip of tea.

"You can have more questions like this next time." Gu Qing said with a smile.

Many candidates have difficulty writing the last question. Seeing that the fragrance is half burning, Gu Qing was worried about a student sitting in the corner of the exam room, sitting leisurely.

"Has that guy finished?"

"Maybe I haven't written a single word yet." Xu Jingzong drank tea and said.

Fang Xuanling and Cen Wenben appeared in a low-key manner nearby and looked at the examination room. Hundreds of students lined up a neatly square and sat in front of Chengtian Gate.

"Old Fang, this is the prosperous era we want to see, right?" Cen Wenben said to Fang Xuanling.

"The world is about to change." Fang Xuanling whispered, "The status of scholars will be higher in the future."

"In fact, I think that in the future, more and more people will study. Only when there are more opportunities for imperial examinations can there be more scholars. There is still the most important step to get out of the ridge of the fields."

Fang Xuanling nodded, "The new paper and movable type printing technology left by Gu Qing."

Cen Wenben nodded pertinently, "More books should have appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and books should be cheap."

"Okay, I'm going to leave after seeing it." The old Fang Xuanling took a step forward, "These young people are doing well, at least they have not made any mistakes. I'm relieved, don't worry..."

Gu Qing saw Fang Xuanling appear in the crowd, and just took a look and left.

Until the last incense is burned, the examiner starts to collect the test papers.

The students also dispersed in groups of three or three. Gu Qing stood up and stretched his waist to speak to the few people, "Go to have a meal together? I'll treat you!"

"The test papers must be sent to the Secretariat for approval." Chu Suiliang bowed repeatedly, "I won't go."

"I'll help you." Shangguan Yi also bowed to Gu Qing and followed Chu Suiliang's footsteps.

"Then the officials will go and help them too." Xu Jingzong bowed and said.

Gu Qing walked off the stage alone, "People's hearts are cold, and these guys have gotten high positions and ignore me."

The people of the Yan family of Langya have been seeing the end of the imperial examination in Chang'an. It seems that the Shandong gentry has really set sunset. In the future, the world will no longer be a good day for scholars from Jin. The most important thing is that Gu Qing, Chu Suiliang, Xu Jingzong and Shangguan Yi are all very young. I believe that the courts in the future will be young, and the old ministers will no longer have a place to stand. From the time when Li Shimin abdicated, it can be seen that the old school in the court has gradually retreated.

Although during Gu Qing's reign in charge of the Secretariat, the old ministers and the new factions fought fiercely. After Li Chengqian succeeded to the throne, the old ministers group in the court was cut off. After Gu Qing became the prime minister, the old party in the court gave up without fighting and withdrew from the court.

The head of the Yan family in Langya said, "I heard someone say that Gu Qing changed the fate of the Tang Dynasty."

"Did Yuan Tiangang say it? Wasn't that guy dead?" the person beside him spoke.

"Who else would say such a thing except Yuan Tiangang?"

The head of the Yan family in Langya smiled and said, "Although Gu Qing had lost his marriage to His Highness King of Jin, even though he arranged our Yan family to the academy, it means that there was no malice between him and our Yan family. I will meet him."

After the scientific examination, an academic trend immediately broke out in Chang'an. Students were commenting everywhere in the inn and taverns, expressing their opinions on the imperial examination, especially the last volume of the imperial examination. The above topic also caused students to argue endlessly, and some even fought with others for their own opinions.

A gust of academic career has been blowing in Chang'an, and the business of restaurants has gradually improved.

The next day, Gu Qing got up early.

Wu Mei was preparing for breakfast and said, "Don't you need to go to court today?"

"If they don't go to court, they know how to do it." Gu Qing said while eating fried dough sticks.

"Did yesterday's imperial examination go smoothly?"

"It's quite smooth. You can announce the results after the imperial examinations in each prefecture." Gu Qing took a sip of tofu, "Girl, your tofu is getting better and better."

Wu Mei looked at her eldest son Gu Xiao and walked past and said, "Children will run and call you dad, and they will also talk to each other."

"One day, I'll always be a girl." Gu Qing had breakfast happily.

Wu Mei reached out and poked Gu Qing's forehead, "Do you want to call me a girl in front of your child in the future?"

"Are you just shouting now?" Gu Qing raised his eyebrows while clamoring for his eldest son, "Good son, do you think so?"

Xiao Gu Xiao took a look with disgust, then continued to play with the carriage toy carved from the wood in his hand.

Gao Yang had just gotten up and sat down decadently.

Seeing her expression, Wu Mei asked in a low voice, "Didn't sleep well last night."

"It's been a dream all night." Gao Yang said weakly.

"Master, Master!" Gu Qing shouted outside the door, "Gaoyang can't sleep well, come and see it."

Sun Simiao, who was washing his own clothes, turned around and said, "What are you anxious about?"

"Just leave this job to the servants." Gu Qing pulled Sun Simiao, "It's still important for Gao Yang's body, so let's take a look."
