The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Zhao Chen has never met Yu Shinan.

But he had also heard of this person's reputation.

Although Yu Shinan looks timid and weak, he has a strong personality, speaks out and dares to give advice, and is deeply respected by Li Shimin.

At that time, it was called the five qualities of virtue, loyalty, erudition, literary poetry, and calligraphy.

Zhao Chen did not expect that the examiner of this autumn examination would be this person.

Moreover, Yu Shinan is still the teacher of Wei King Li Tai.

Zhao Chen left the palace and went straight back to the tavern.

Queen Changsun has left, but there are many people sitting in the tavern.

Wei Zheng and an old man with white beard and hair and cloudy eyes were sitting at a table.

Zhao Chen, where have you been? You and Duke Yu have been waiting for so long! Wei Zheng saw Zhao Chen coming back and immediately came to greet him.

After hearing Wei Zheng talk about Yu County Duke, Zhao Chen already knew that the person sitting in front of him was Yu Shinan, the examiner of this autumn examination.

But, what's the reason for these two people coming to my place?

I just went to see His Majesty, and I just came back! Zhao Chen smiled, held hands with Wei Zheng, and walked to Yu Shinan's side.

Yu Shinan is almost eighty years old.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was rare to see someone of this age.

But at a glance, Yu Shinan was still in good spirits.

Mr. Yu County! Zhao Chen and Yu Shinan said, cupping hands.

Yu Shinan heard the sound and looked up at Zhao Chen.

Although it was the first time he met Zhao Chen, Yu Shinan had heard about Zhao Chen countless times.

Even Wei King Li Tai often mentioned Zhao Chen's name.

Yu Shinan knew that Zhao Chen, who had become famous in Chang'an City in recent months, was just a young man of the same age as the prince.

But when he saw Zhao Chen, Yu Shinan was still frightened.

Wannian County Marquis. Yu Shinan nodded, still staring at Zhao Chen's face.

Before Zhao Chen could speak, Yu Shinan said again, Marquis Zhao, who is your father?

Father? Zhao Chen was stunned, then shook his head with a smile and said, He was an ordinary farmer in Wannian County. He passed away when I was young.

Dead? Yu Shinan frowned.

Why did Duke Yu ask such a question? Zhao Chen was a little curious. It was really strange that Yu Shinan asked his father as soon as he came up.

I saw that your face looked a little familiar. I seemed to have seen you somewhere before, so I asked!

I met Xu Lai a long time ago. Yu Shinan shook his head and smiled.

After hearing this, Zhao Chen did not continue to delve deeper, so he drank tea with Yu Shinan and Wei Zheng.

The two of them came here specially, and they definitely didn't just want to chat with him.

The two of us are here today to discuss the autumn examination with the Marquis of Zhao County. Yu Shinan looked at the tea in front of him that was completely different from what he usually drinks, and said to Zhao Chen.

Just call me Zhao Chen. If you two have anything to do, just tell me directly. Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Although Lao Li Tou asked him to be the deputy examiner, Zhao Chen actually didn't care much about it.

Firstly, he is not the examiner, and secondly, he does not understand the specific content of the autumn examination.

For Zhao Chen, as the deputy examiner, he just wanted to show his face in front of the majority of candidates.

The Autumn Examination is coming soon, but the questions for the Autumn Examination have not been decided yet. The day before yesterday, Dr. Wei and I went to see His Majesty and ask His Majesty the questions for the Autumn Examination. Your Majesty asked us to come over to your place.

Your Majesty said that it is up to you, Zhao Chen, to decide the questions for the autumn exam. Yu Shinan and Zhao Chen said slowly.

Yu Shinan also felt very strange.

Although I have heard of Zhao

Chen's performance in the Tai Chi Palace was good, but such a major matter as the autumn exam questions had to be decided by a young boy named Zhao Chen.

Yu Shinan always felt very sloppy.

Let me decide, is Old Li Tou crazy? Zhao Chen blurted out.

People next to Yu Shinan were stunned when they heard this.

Zhao Chen actually called the emperor this and even said that the emperor was crazy?

This is more than just treason.

Ahem, Zhao Chen, His Majesty's move has its own profound meaning. The autumn examination is coming soon, and the test questions have not been determined yet, so the impact is really not good.

His Majesty said that before tonight, he will see us submit the autumn exam questions. If you have any ideas, please tell us. Wei Zheng said quickly.

It seems that the autumn test is only a few days away.

But they haven't even released the questions for the autumn exam.

After that, I have to print the test questions, and there are a series of things to do.

Can't waste any more time.

Next to him, Yu Shinan was a little unhappy because of Zhao Chen's disrespect for the emperor just now.

Sitting aside, not saying a word.

The purpose of the imperial examination is to help the imperial court select talents. When the Tang Dynasty was just established, what was needed was doers.

This autumn exam will not test poetry, only practical matters. Zhao Chen did not care about Yu Shinan's dissatisfaction and slowly said to Wei Zheng.

Although the Imperial Examination in the Tang Dynasty lasted only a few years, there was an unwritten rule.

Even during exams, there is always one exam where poetry and poetry are tested.

This is of no use at all for selecting officials.

Even if officials elected in this way are transferred to prefectures and counties, they will completely harm the people.

But some people with lofty ideals who have real talents and knowledge can only be buried under poetry and songs.

As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, Yu Shinan frowned and said to Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen, we, the Tang Dynasty, will establish our own country.

Since ancient times, poems, lyrics, and poems have been tested in the imperial examinations. If you do this rashly, you will certainly make scholars all over the world dissatisfied.

Besides, how many people can answer this question if they have not experienced it personally?

Yu Shinan somewhat questioned Zhao Chen's words.

In his opinion, by doing this, Zhao Chen made it clear that he was going against the scholars in the world.

Those students had been preparing for so long, but they suddenly learned that poetry, poetry, and poetry were not included in the imperial examination.

Then those people must not be crazy?

That's good. It can streamline the court organization and avoid redundant officials. Zhao Chen said nonchalantly.

He is not worried at all now that he will be harmed by someone if he does this.

He has the Xuanjia Silver Rabbit Talisman in his hand. When the time comes, the Xuanjia Army will place it in front of the examination room. Who dares to make a mistake?

Those scholars are very smart. Once there is danger, they can run faster than anyone else.

Yu Shinan didn't know what to say to Zhao Chen at this moment.

He and Wei Zheng only came to ask Zhao Chen test questions. Who knew that Zhao Chen would actually overturn the previous practice.

Only practice is tested, nothing else is tested.

this……

Yu Shinan and Wei Zheng looked at each other and saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes.

They didn't know whether this was the emperor's intention or Zhao Chen's own idea.

But the emperor had already told them directly that Zhao Chen would give the imperial examination questions.

Zhao Chen, tell us what questions you are going to ask for this autumn exam. Yu Shinan looked at Zhao Chen and said slowly.

In Yu Shinan's view, Zhao Chen was just a young boy with little experience in the world, so how could he answer in-depth examination questions?

As long as Zhao Chen couldn't speak out, Yu Shinan decided to directly deny Zhao Chen's previous statement.

After all, he is the examiner of this imperial examination.

Zhao Chen is just a deputy.
