287. Are You Teaching Me How to Do Things? (Please Subscribe to the Full Version)

Chang'an, Shengyefang, Jinxian Temple.

Chuihua Garden, living room.

Bai Gui sat in the lobby and waited.

This morning, after the Ministry of Rites announced the results in the Imperial Examination Hall, he ranked first in the Jinshi category, which is commonly known as the top scholar.

According to the rules, he should go to Jinxian Temple to find Princess Jinxian to thank her.

It was Princess Jinxian who introduced him to Li Longji and sent his poems to the prime minister in the Political Affairs Hall.

So Princess Jinxian was considered his noble.

Only the Jinshi category was the most valuable, and even if the first place in the Mingjing and Xiucai categories was not called the top scholar.

This time.

He didn't wait long.

About half a quarter of an hour later.

Princess Jinxian, who had just put on makeup, hurried in from the hall. She looked a little lazy because she had just woken up from a nap. Her almond eyes were half closed and she yawned, and she fell on the main seat.

"Brother Bai Dao, congratulations on winning the first place in this imperial examination."

"I have nothing to say here. When my father promoted me to a higher rank, he gave me several imperial farms. I will ask the female official to give you the land deed of an imperial farm as a gift."

(Princess Jinxian was originally the Princess of Xicheng County. In the second year of Jingyun, she was promoted to Princess Jinxian.)

She talked with Bai Gui for a while, thought for a moment, and said.

Bai Gui only knew the news that he won the first place this morning, but she had received the news from the palace the day before yesterday. She even knew that her father, Li Dan, even intended to marry her to Bai Gui.

This matter is not a secret.

So it was not deliberately concealed.

But at the same time..., Princess Jinxian's mood was slightly different when facing Bai Gui at this time.

The first place in the Jinshi examination of the Tang Dynasty can be called the most outstanding hero in the Tang Dynasty. Those who are born in the Jinshi exam are known as white-robed ministers, not to mention the top scholar. I don't know how many women in the boudoir know this news, and they are full of admiration and have spring dreams.

"Thank you, Princess, for the reward."

Bai Gui nodded, did not refuse, and directly chose to accept the gift from Princess Jinxian.

He gave the poem to Princess Jinxian, which is equivalent to having a relationship with her. Although he and Princess Jinxian will not share the same honor and disgrace in the future, the relationship between the two is certainly incomparable to ordinary people...

To outsiders, they are just people of the same faction.

Whether to accept the imperial manor or not will not change other people's inherent impression. On the contrary, if you don't accept the imperial manor, it will inevitably offend Princess Jinxian. And for a favored royal princess like Princess Jinxian, an imperial manor is not a big gift.

It's common!

With Li Dan and Li Longji, the two fathers and brothers, Princess Jinxian will not suffer any hardships in the future, and will live a prosperous and wealthy life for the rest of her life. In this case, he would definitely not choose to offend Princess Jinxian, but go to make friends with her.

It's just a gigolo, and Bai Meihe has eaten it before.

"Brother Bai Dao, the martial arts exam includes long stacks, horse shooting, foot shooting, flat shooting, Qiaoguan, etc..."

"The people selected are all tall and strong, so you..."

After Princess Jinxian talked with Bai Gui, she hesitated for a while and advised.

She saw that although Bai Gui was strong, he was far behind those generals who fought on the battlefield. These generals were all strong men with big shoulders and waists, and they were not as well-proportioned as Bai Gui.

At a glance, she could see that Bai Gui would not achieve fame in the martial arts.

After all, ordinary people say that they learn literature and practice martial arts, but they inevitably have some emphasis. It is already a great thing for Bai Gui to get the top prize in the Jinshi exam. When it comes to the martial arts exam, he must be inferior.

"Princess..., are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I am sure about the military exam, and I won't just say empty words!"

Bai Gui frowned slightly and said in a hard voice.

The way to get along with others also requires skills. You can't always be submissive and flattering. If he were still a little Taoist priest in Youxian Temple, he would never say this retort out loud.

But now he has won the first place in the Jinshi exam, and the Ministry of Rites has just announced the results, so he has a certain confidence in his heart. In addition, he has been getting along with Princess Jinxian recently, and he has figured out her personality. He knows that she is gentle and kind, different from other Li Tang princesses... After all, she has been practicing Taoism since she was a child and has been imprisoned in the deep palace for many years. How could she develop a spoiled and savage temper?

In addition, although Princess Jinxian now advises him not to take the military exam, her tone is tactful, but it is inevitable that there is a taste of condescending and bossy.

Bai Gui feels that he and Princess Jinxian still have a long time to get along, and it is not okay to continue like this.

Although he sometimes likes to be passive, liking to be passive is different from being in control of others. There is a big difference.

The last point is that Princess Jinxian's words are considered to be a contempt for him. As a newly-appointed champion, he is arrogant and proud of his talent. It is not too much to react a little.

"Yes... I made a mistake."

"Please don't blame me, Brother Baidao."

Princess Jinxian was slightly stunned. When she was imprisoned in the deep palace, she had heard all kinds of harsh words. What Bai Gui said at this moment was considered a rebuttal, but it also depends on who is rebutting her. If it was a maid or eunuch, she would have been dragged out and beaten with a stick.

However, if Bai Gui rebutted, she thought about it and felt that the rebuttal was not fierce and was within her tolerance. The most important thing is that although Bai Gui "climbed" on her, she, a princess, had no power... Could she really beat and scold the new champion?

Not to mention her, even if Bai Gui used these words to rebut Princess Taiping, Princess Taiping would just laugh it off.

It's not worth getting angry over some small words.

"The military exam will be in five days, Princess, please wait and see."

"You will definitely win the honor of martial arts..."

Bai Gui cupped his hands and resigned calmly.

It is good to eat soft food. If there is soft food to eat, he will not refuse it stupidly. But to eat soft rice, you need to pay attention to strategy. It is best to eat soft food hard. Otherwise, he would rather starve to death than eat soft food.

"The words of a gentleman are as warm as jade."

"In his room, it disturbs my heart."

Princess Jinxian looked at Bai Gui's rusty back in the distance and was fascinated for a moment.

…

The opening of the martial arts exam is much more lively than the opening of the liberal arts exam.

On this day, dignitaries gathered in Chang'an.

Forbidden Military Academy.

In the tall stands, Li Longji, Princess Jinxian, Princess Yuzhen and other royal children accompanied Tang Ruizong Li Dan.

"Eight sisters, it will be Bai Meihe's turn to compete later. I have read his "Teaching War and Defending Strategies". He is a man of strategy. He will definitely be the pillar of our Tang Dynasty in the future..."

"Three days ago, as the number one scholar, he rode a horse through the streets of Chang'an. I don't know how many ladies from the boudoir threw sachets to him."

Li Longji saw a young man dressed in white walking out of the school field. This person was Bai Gui, so he teased Princess Jinxian.

He knew that his father intended to appoint Bai Gui as the Prince Consort.

But obviously being strong won't do it, but if Bai Gui himself wants to marry the princess, that's fine. As for Bai Gui, if he is worried about his future career after becoming the Prince Consort, he, the prince, will also guarantee it.

"Is that Bai Meihe?"

"He is indeed a handsome young man, but it's a pity that my Yuzhen Temple is near your sister's Golden Immortal Temple, and he didn't even visit once."

Princess Yuzhen answered.

"Carbine test!"

"A galloping horse must stab at a wooden target and hit at least three boards to be considered qualified!"

The martial arts examiner was the captain of the Habayashi Army. When he saw Bai Gui coming on the stage, he shouted.

Bai Gui allowed the soldiers to put on his armor, which weighed about thirty or forty kilograms and was Mingguang Armor.

He sprinted a few steps and got on his horse.

The movements were smooth and thorough, without any obstruction, and the horsemanship was skillful. The whole house immediately applauded.

"This new top scholar should not be underestimated!"

"Just this horse-riding skill makes people's eyes bright..."

Li Dan commented.

The ministers greeted and congratulated the emperor, saying that this young hero was the blessing of our Tang Dynasty.

Lean less.

I saw Bai Gui riding faster and faster.

Three steps closer to the wooden target.

In an instant, the spear measuring eight feet and weighing eight kilograms came out of his hand and hit the wooden target erected in the center of the school ground.

It hit the target and pierced through the boards, revealing a hole the size of a fist.

The spear was nailed to the ground, several feet deep.

"Your Majesty!"

"Pierced through thirteen boards, sunk seven feet into the ground, and ranked among the best in the carbine test!"

The chief examiner of Yulin Military Academy looked shocked, stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward to review the results.

Wait until the inspection is completed.

Unable to conceal his excitement, he ran to the stands, half-knelt down to Li Dan, and shouted at the top of his lungs.

For a moment, the dignitaries in the stands were stunned and dumbfounded.

It's true that I have encountered such powerful generals before. In the early Tang Dynasty, there were many powerful generals. Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui were all pioneer generals who could single-handedly break into the camp. However, they had never heard of the top scholar who won the Jinshi examination. The same was true. Brave.

Moreover, the powerful generals left behind by the Taizong Dynasty and Gaozong Dynasty have long since died of old age, and there are really few capable generals in the Tang Dynasty.

Even if you can do it, how can you compare with a person like Bai Gui who is both civil and military?

This kind of person is destined to be Li Weigong!

"It turns out...he didn't lie, it was me who underestimated him."

"No wonder he was so angry when he heard that I asked him to withdraw from the martial arts exam..."

Princess Jinxian's beautiful eyes stared blankly at the young man in powerful robes. It was difficult to find anyone comparable to her in the entire Tang Dynasty.
