Zhao Chen has never met Yu Shinan.
But he also heard of this person's reputation.
Although Yu Shinan is cowardly and weak, he is strong and speaks frankly, and dares to advise him. He is highly respected by Li Shimin.
It was called "virtue, loyalty, erudition, literature, and calligraphy".
Zhao Chen did not expect that the examiner of this autumn examination would be this person.
Moreover, Yu Shinan is now the teacher of King Li Tai of Wei.
Zhao Chen left the palace and went straight back to the tavern.
Empress Changsun had already left, but there were many people sitting in the tavern.
Wei Zheng, and an old man with white hair and muddy eyes were sitting next to a table.
"Zhao Chen, where are you going? Let someone and Yu County Duke wait for so long!" Wei Zheng immediately came forward to see Zhao Chen coming back.
After hearing Wei Zheng’s talk about Yu County Duke, Zhao Chen knew that the person sitting in front was Yu Shinan, the chief examiner of the autumn examination.
But what's wrong with these two people coming here?
"I just went to see His Majesty. I've just returned!" Zhao Chen smiled and bowed to Wei Zheng, walked to Yu Shinan.
Yu Shinan is almost eighty years old.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was rare to see such an age.
However, at a glance, Yu Shinan was still in good spirits.
"Duke of Yu County!" Zhao Chen bowed to Yu Shinan.
Yu Shinan heard the sound and looked up at Zhao Chen.
Although it was the first time I met Zhao Chen, Yu Shinan had long heard of news about Zhao Chen.
Even King Li Tai of Wei often talks about Zhao Chen's name.
Yu Shinan knew that in recent months, Zhao Chen, who has been prosperous in Chang'an City, is just a young man as old as the prince.
But when he really saw Zhao Chen, Yu Shinan was still shocked.
"Wannian County Marquis." Yu Shinan nodded, his eyes still staring at Zhao Chen's face.
Without waiting for Zhao Chen to speak, Yu Shinan said again: "Marquis Zhao County, who is your father?"
"Father?" Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a smile, "He is an ordinary farmer in Wannian County. He had passed away when I was young."
"Diet?" Yu Shinan frowned.
"Why did the Duke of Yu County ask this?" Zhao Chen was a little curious. It was really strange that Yu Shinan asked his father as soon as he came up.
"Seeing that you are familiar with your appearance, it seems that you have seen it before, so I asked!"
"Xu Lai has seen it a long time ago." Yu Shinan shook his head and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Chen did not continue to study further, so he added tea to Yu Shinan and Wei Zheng.
The two of them came here specifically, and they definitely wouldn't just want to chat with him.
"I came here today because I discussed the matter about Qiushi with the Hou of Zhao County." Yu Shinan glanced at the tea in front of him that was completely different from what he usually drank, and said to Zhao Chen.
"Just call me Zhao Chen. If you have any questions, you will just agree to me." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Although Old Li asked himself to be the deputy examiner, Zhao Chen was not very concerned about it.
First, he is not the chief examiner, and second, he doesn't understand the specific content of the Qiu Examination.
For Zhao Chen, he, as the deputy examiner, is just to show his face in front of the majority of candidates.
"The autumn test is about to come, but the question of this autumn test has not been decided yet. The day before yesterday, I and Doctor Wei went to see Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty the autumn test questions. Your Majesty asked me to come over and you."
"Your Majesty said, the autumn test questions will be decided by Zhao Chen." Yu Shinan and Zhao Chen said slowly.
Yu Shinan also found it very strange.
Although I have heard that Zhao Chen performed well in Tai Chi Hall, the big thing like the Qiu Examination Question made Zhao Chen a young man decide.
Yu Shinan always feels very sloppy.
"Let me decide, is Old Li crazy?" Zhao Chen blurted out.
Yu Shinan next to him was stunned.
Zhao Chen actually called the emperor like this, and even said that the emperor was crazy?
This is more than just a traitor.
"Well, Zhao Chen, Your Majesty's move has his own profound meaning. The autumn test is about to be imminent, and the test question has not been determined yet, so the impact is really bad."
"Your Majesty said that before tonight, we will see us presenting the autumn test questions. If you have any ideas, let us talk to you." Wei Zheng said quickly.
It took a few days to see Qiushi.
But they didn't even come up with the autumn test questions.
Later, I have to print the test questions and have a series of things to do.
No more wasted time.
Yu Shinan next to him was a little unhappy because Zhao Chen had disrespectful to the emperor just now.
Sitting aside without saying a word.
"The imperial examination was to help the court select talents. In the early Tang Dynasty, what was needed was a practical man."
"This autumn exam will not test poetry, but only practice." Zhao Chen did not care about Yu Shinan's dissatisfaction and slowly said to Wei Zheng.
Although the Tang Dynasty imperial examination has not been in a few years, there is an unwritten rule.
It is during the exam that there will always be a test of poetry, songs and essays.
This is of no use for selecting officials.
Even if officials selected like this are sent to prefectures and counties, they will be a complete harm to the people.
However, some aspiring people with real talents and knowledge can only be buried under poetry and lyrics.
As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, Yu Shinan frowned and said to Zhao Chen: "Zhao Chen, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I have taken poetry and songs in the imperial examination. If you rashly do this, you will definitely cause dissatisfaction among scholars all over the world."
"Besides, if you haven't experienced this practice personally, how many can you answer?"
Yu Shinan questioned Zhao Chen's words a little.
In his opinion, Zhao Chen's actions were clearly facing scholars all over the world.
Those students had been preparing for so long, but they knew temporarily that the imperial examination did not take the poetry, songs and essays.
So those people shouldn't be crazy?
"That's just right, it can streamline the imperial institutions and avoid the rise and fall of redundant officials." Zhao Chen said indifferently.
Now he is not worried at all that he will be assassinated by anyone who does this.
There is the Xuanjia Silver Rabbit Talisman in his hand. At that time, the Xuanjia Army will wave it in front of the examination room. Who dares to act rashly?
Those scholars are very smart. Once there is danger, they will run faster than anyone else.
Yu Shinan didn't know what to say to Zhao Chen at this moment.
He and Wei Zheng were just here to ask Zhao Chen’s test questions, but who knew that Zhao Chen would overturn the past conventions.
Only take the practice exam, not the others.
this……
Yu Shinan and Wei Zheng looked at each other and saw the dilemma in each other's eyes.
They didn't know whether this was the emperor's intention or Zhao Chen's own thoughts.
But the emperor had already told them directly that the imperial examination questions were asked to be drawn by Zhao Chen.
"Zhao Chen, then tell us what you are going to do in this autumn test." Yu Shinan looked at Zhao Chen and said slowly.
In Yu Shinan's view, Zhao Chen is just a teenager and has not been well-informed in the world. How can he tell in-depth test questions?
As long as Zhao Chen couldn't say it, Yu Shinan decided to directly deny Zhao Chen's previous statement.
After all, I am the chief examiner of this imperial examination.
