Great Tang: I Wrote the Fate of the Great Tang on the Imperial Exam

At the imperial examination's final round, Li Shiming held a five-meter-long exam paper and roared, "What is this nonsense written by Suzhou and Hangzhou's top scholar? It doesn't answer the questions at all!"

"Goldstone gunpowder can determine the fate of the world? What is goldstone gunpowder?"

"His strategy for fighting the enemy: 'A sudden heavy snowfall will spell defeat for the Tang army'? Our Tang army will be defeated?"

"Asked about governing officials, he answered, 'I have no desire to serve as an official.' Then why did you come to take the final exam? This is treason!"

"Throw him in the dungeon!"

The next day, a sudden blizzard hit the borderlands. More than a dozen people froze to death in a single day. The Tang Dynasty was shaken!

Li Shimin recalled the mysterious exam paper. "Quick, summon Zhang Shang!"

On the tenth day, a mountain outside Chang'an was flattened with a deafening boom.

Li Shimin stared in horror. "So this is goldstone gunpowder? How do you make it?"

Zhang Shang smiled faintly. "Two hundred thousand strings of cash per answer."

Li Shimin sucked in a sharp breath, recalling that five-meter-long exam paper...

He had come prepared!
