In Chang'an city.
In the stable four-wheel carriage, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian are sitting in danger and are rushing back to the palace.
Along the way, Li Shimin looked out of the window and daydreamed. Li Chengqian was respectful. Li Ke continued to be an invisible person in silence. Only the youngest Li Tai looked like he couldn't hold his breath. He was restless and wanted to stop talking several times.
"What? Want to know the final result!" Li Shimin couldn't help smiling knowingly.
Li Tai couldn't wait to say, "please tell your father."
Not only Li Tai, but even Li Chengqian and Li Ke couldn't help but have a flash in their eyes. The look of sitting upright and dangerous just now suddenly disappeared.
Li Shimin pondered and said, "your father and emperor have seen the articles of your three brothers. It's really good. I didn't disappoint my father!"
The three of Li Chengqian immediately stopped breathing, and an excited look appeared on their faces.
However, Li Shimin turned his voice and said, "however, there are at least ten people in the Imperial College who are not inferior to you. Therefore, as a father, he has set you in the top three!"
"Top three!"
Li Tai's fat face suddenly turned green. He used to be full of self-confidence. He wanted to get the first grade of the Imperial College, but now he has become the third grade. The gap is too big.
"What about Mojia Zi... Merton?" Li Ke said with a movement in his heart.
Needless to say, even Li Chengqian, who is as stable as Mount Tai, couldn't help looking at him.
Li Shimin said, "Merton is the top one!"
"Ah!" the three of Li Chengqian immediately exclaimed.
Merton won the top of the first class again. Wouldn't it be that they won six subjects and one class. The three of them lost in Merton's hands twice in a row, but this time they lost even worse and fell directly to the third class.
Li Tai immediately looked at Li Shimin bitterly. His father and emperor were too eccentric. He was better to the Mexican family than them. Who is your son.
Seeing Li Tai's unconvinced face, Li Shimin didn't think so. This is the young man's nature.
"It's not the father's bias. You will know the gap when you see Merton's article." Li Shimin smiled knowingly and handed over a chapter of Merton's "young Tang theory" copied by Liu Yinian.
Because Li Shimin couldn't stand Merton's writing format from left to right, Liu Yinian didn't want to be dissatisfied with Merton at all, and immediately wrote a new copy for Li Shimin.
The recitation version of the story of the young Tang Dynasty was short of words. The three read it at a glance and couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Merton's article should be a Class A, and the child is convinced." Li Chengqian sighed.
Li Ke and Li Tai also nodded silently. In the face of such eternal articles, compared with their old-fashioned policies of governing the country, there is really no comparability.
"Now you can see the intention of your father to let you take the imperial college entrance examination." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
"I understand! I will redouble my efforts in the future." the three said respectfully.
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. Although the royal education is good, there is little independent competition, and there are some flatterers and flatterers around, resulting in the arrogant and complacent character of the princes.
After the Imperial College, the three must have seen that there are days outside the world and people outside the people. Apart from Merton, even other students of the Imperial College have a lot better than the three.
The three returned to the palace with complex thoughts.
In Chang'an City, with the spread of the news that Mohist Zi obtained six subjects and one class, it immediately caused an uproar in the literary circle of Chang'an city.
"Mohist is worthy of Mohist!"
"Six subjects and one class. If it were the imperial examination, wouldn't it be that all six subjects were top scholars?"
Many people in Chang'an City smacked their tongues one after another.
"There are three in a class. A class doesn't mean it's the champion. The top of a class is the champion!" an idle man explained.
The surrounding citizens immediately stared and said, "then you say, which branch of Merton is not the top of the first class!"
The idle man immediately concluded. Merton has been writing articles that have been circulating for thousands of years. If he is not the top one, I'm afraid everyone will not accept it.
The citizens of Chang'an City watched the excitement, but in the literati circle, Merton's "young Tang theory" immediately caused a literary feast.
Good articles are hard to find, which is also the reason why those ancient literati and poets were so popular, while Mohists wrote such popular and peerless articles one after another.
"The story of the young Tang Dynasty! The young man is determined to serve the country. He uses the hidden dragon and suckling tiger to describe the young man, and the young man to describe the Tang Dynasty. It is closely linked and penetrating. I have no regrets in my life if I can read such a good article!"
"Maybe we all underestimated the Mo family."
After watching it, many literati were amazed and touched more. Since ancient times, educating children has always been a headache for everyone.
From the house of emperors and generals to the common people, who doesn't break their hearts for their children, however, many people keenly find that "young Tang said" will be very helpful to educate their children.
Which boy read this article, not enthusiastic, not ambitious.
For a while, Chang'an paper is expensive.
Countless Chang'an City scribes transcribed the "young Tang said" in the street. Every time they wrote one, people in Chang'an city immediately paid for it and took it home to educate their children.
"Recite this article to me immediately!" countless fathers took Merton's young Tang in front of their son at the first time.
"Ah! Back!"
When a group of teenagers saw Merton's name on the title, they immediately became angry.
Since Merton appeared in Chang'an City, their recitation task has immediately increased too much, "three poems of the frontier fortress" and "Ma Shuo"
There are also Merton's advertising poems, and even the mojiazi has to recite a poem.
What makes people more sad and angry is that the previous ones are still good. Since the beginning of the Mohist Zi's year-old examination, they have recited "teacher's theory" and "three pieces of teacher's kindness" continuously. Now there is another "young Tang's theory", which makes people unhappy to play.
"Mojiazi, I hate you!"
In Chang'an City, countless teenagers looked at the "young Tang theory" in their hands and shouted sadly and angrily.
However, when they finished reading the "young Tang Dynasty", they all seemed to be flushed and excited, and there was no resentment against Merton in their hearts.
After reading, teenagers who were originally very resistant to reading, without waiting for adults' orders, studied hard at their desks one after another, and the effect was immediate.
However, in the era of extremely low literacy rate in Datang, I'm afraid no one in ten can read and read. How to make Datang's youth strong and bear the responsibility of Datang's future.
For a while, the compulsory education advocated by Master Li was mentioned by everyone again, and was accepted and respected by more and more people.
It is conceivable that over time, all the teenagers in Datang will be able to read, understand things and understand knowledge. What a yearning moment it will be.
By then, the future of Datang will be unlimited.
