Chapter 386: Start, Get Down
As soon as Li Shimin's eyes came, he looked for his father in the crowd, but he soon found out.
Because the students of the academy are so conspicuous, the neat clothes immediately attract all the attention.
"No need to be polite!"
Li Shimin's voice sounded, even though it was in front of the wide palace, but it was still heard clearly by many people.
"Ma Zhou, you take them to the position first."
Shu An said to Ma Zhou beside him, and the students on the steps naturally did not fail to see it, let alone Li Tai was there.
"Yes, Dean!"
Although Ma Zhou's face was calm, there was no peace on the surface in his heart.
And Shu An also walked towards the top of the high steps, and the people around him who saw Shu An couldn't help but get out of the way.
"This is An Xuangong."
"Although An Xuangong is a little old, he looks very young."
"After all, An Xuangong is the founder of health preservation, but it's a pity that he can't meet him."
.....
The voices around him sounded, and there was a trace of emotion in his words, even louder than Li Shimin's previous appearance.
After all, this An Xuangong has occupied the entire Chang'an in the past year.
On the top of the steps, it was Li Shimin and many ministers who looked down on the entire bottom by taking advantage of the small open space in front of the palace gate.
However, in the face of Shu An, in addition to Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji and others all saluted, after all, An Xuangong's seniority is not ordinarily high.
After a while, Shu An's figure appeared beside Li Shimin, with a mysterious smile on his face.
"Don't you know if the Father is ready?"
Li Shimin's face also spoke confidently, and the confidence in his words can be said to have infected many people around him.
Of course, this does not include Shu An, Shu An did not answer in a hurry, but his eyes fell on the next students.
The staircase is half a meter wide, and every two students are separated by two steps, which makes it a perfect place for competition.
After all, with so many people watching, there is no possibility of cheating at all.
In order to follow the voice of this emperor, the eyes of the present also fell on Shu An, wanting to know the answer of An Xuangong, who is famous all over the world.
"Since the people of the world are in such a hurry, let's get started."
Shu An finally replied slowly under the gaze of many people, with a hint of relief in his words.
"Let's get started, then!"
Li Shimin did not hesitate and spoke directly, anyway, he was not afraid that this father would be in the way again.
Shu An nodded, and then sat on a chair, while Li Shimin on the other side was also not to be outdone.
After the two of them sat down, many ministers behind them also sat down, but their eyes fell on these students.
Compared with the students of Guozijian, more people pay attention to the students of the academy, because this neat dress is enough to make many people sigh.
"An Xuangong taught students not to care about identity, and he didn't expect it to be true."
"Yes, the four princes are among them, and there are many noble second generations among them, but they are all the same."
.......
These ministers have seen a lot of things from the clothes alone, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing.
The current words have made these ministers' perception of Shu An to a higher level, not everyone can be consistent in words and deeds.
Maybe it seems that An Xuangong accepted some children from peasant families just for a reputation.
Of course, this only represents the thoughts of some ministers, such as Li Shimin, who will not think so, because he has been to the academy, so he is not too unfamiliar with these students.
However, the main thing is that Li Shimin knows what kind of person his father is, and he has always done what he says.
"Your Majesty has a will, please prepare all students."
Just when many people's thoughts were rushing, Wang Degong's duck-like voice sounded, and then he began to talk about the rules of this competition.
These students prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and then there are a total of 20 questions, and each question will be read out.
Then these students will write their answers on a blank piece of paper, and finally they will stop the names of these students and hand them over to the ministers present for review.
Of course, these ministers were all people who had never served in the country, so as not to recognize the handwriting of these students.
And this rule was naturally set up by Shu An and Li Shimin after they both knew it.
The biggest effect is naturally fairness, if it is unfair, then there is no need to say more about this competition.
"Father, are you here first, or am I coming?"
While Wang De was reading the rules, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Shu An and said loudly.
"Let's go first."
Shu An showed a smile on his face and said loudly, if he didn't give Li Shimin some hope first, then how desperate.
"Then you're welcome."
Li Shimin's smile deepened, but he was very much looking forward to the expression of this father after seeing those questions.
"Wang De, the first question!"
After the king finished reading the rules, Li Shimin's voice sounded.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Although Wang De felt that his voice was a little hoarse, he still did not hesitate to answer.
"Pick it up!"
Wang De's eyes fell on the two little eunuchs around him and said loudly.
Soon the two little eunuchs took a pair of papers in their hands, and the two of them carefully spread them out.
The first question began to be revealed, and it instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
"From Mencius to Xunzi, an analysis of the changes in Confucianism in the middle and late Warring States period."
When he saw this question, even Shu An couldn't help but secretly sigh that this emperor was indeed a little ruthless.
It would take a lot of time and effort to answer this question, even if it was for him to answer.
Obviously, it is impossible for anyone who has not studied Confucianism to answer at all.
Even among the students of Guozijian, there are not many people who can answer some of them.
As for the academy, then Shu An shook his head even more in his heart, except for Ma Zhou and several other children of the family and Li Tai.
Basically, no one else has the possibility of doing this question, and there is not even a chance of answering a single point.
Presumably, this first question should have been specially selected by Li Shimin, just to give him a dismissal.
Shu An had already seen through some of Li Shimin's tricks, but he didn't say anything.
Anyway, the next topic on Confucianism should be simpler.
Li Shimin is not so stupid, after all, even if he is a national eunuch on this kind of topic, he can't score many points.
This time, there is a total of 100 points, 5 points for each question, and if you can't answer it, then you won't have 5 points.
It is estimated that the answer is only one or two points, and it is difficult to exceed the three-point level.
