Li Shimin was very efficient. The next day, another notice appeared beside the recruitment notice. This notice was written by Li Shimin himself. The bright red seal of the Imperial Seal blinded the eyes of the scholars.
"Now that His Majesty is personally reviewing the Sheng Tang Business Daily, doesn't that mean that our articles can be directly read by His Majesty?”
"That's not fake. If the emperor admires him, it's not impossible for him to soar to the heavens!”
"Then wouldn't this Sheng Tang Business Daily be comparable to the Imperial Examinations?”
"Unfortunately, only the chief editor and editor can write articles in the newspaper. The articles submitted by others must be reviewed by the chief editor and editor before they can be reported.”
"Brother Zhao is right, but we can't lose our moral integrity as scholars. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first!”A scholar rolled his eyes and ran away.
"Brother Zhang, where are you going?" The person called Brother Zhao squeezed out of the crowd in front of the notice and shouted.
An old farmer selling fruits saw this and said disdainfully,"Idiot, of course he went to the Liang Residence!”
"Ah!" Brother Zhao looked at Brother Zhang who was running faster than a rabbit. That street led to the Liang Residence. He stomped his feet and cursed,"How shameless!"
There was a sea of people in front of the Liang Residence. There were many cars, colorful flags, and gongs and drums. It was a completely different place from yesterday.
A pair of scholars met:
"Brother Wang!"
"Brother Li!"
"It is said that Brother Wang's speech at the Qu River Pond yesterday caused all the scholars to leave in shame and no longer mention the matter of applying for a job at the Liang Residence.”
"Rumors! It's definitely a rumor. His Highness the King of Liang is so righteous that I wish I could shout out loud. How could I say such unreasonable words?”
"Is that true?"
"I swear to the heavens!"
“……”
As the sun rose, more and more people gathered in front of the residence, but there was still no movement in the residence.
"Sir, when will the recruitment fair begin? We've been waiting for four hours!”One of the young masters was a little impatient.
Jin Daqian brought 20 guards to line up at the entrance of the palace to maintain order and hygiene. Those who were caught throwing rubbish and spitting were immediately disqualified.
"Wangye is busy with work, is it that you can see him as you wish and not as you wish? If you say another word of nonsense, you'll be disqualified immediately!”Jin Daqian said as he blew his beard and glared. He was furious when he thought of the grievances his highness had suffered yesterday. Looking at these guys who still had a noble appearance, his anger grew even greater.
After being scolded by Jin Daqian, the elegant young man's face turned pale. He coughed awkwardly and stopped talking.
In the Prince's mansion, Li Yin was enjoying Su Mo 'er's shoulder massage. After Yun' er left, Li Yin felt really uncomfortable facing those wooden maids. He was so angry that he lost his temper a few times. When Su Mo 'er found out, she sent away Li Yin's maids and became a butler and a maid.
"Wangye, how long do you plan to leave those scholars hanging?”Su Mo 'er said as she listened to the noise outside the palace.
Li Yang squinted his eyes comfortably." It'll take at least two days. Things that are too easy to obtain will not be cherished. Our smiles make it seem like we are impatient. They are acting high and mighty, and our Liang residence is also acting high and mighty.”
In two days, the number of scholars outside the Liang residence continued to increase. During this period, according to Jin Daqian's report, there was a serious food poisoning incident, causing hundreds of scholars to have diarrhea. Finally, after Wu Hou's investigation, he caught the old man selling porridge. It turned out that this was an old scholar who had not been a Jinshi for forty years in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In order to give it a go, he made this decision.
When this incident came out, everyone was in an uproar. The trust between scholars plummeted and they were on guard against each other. However, there were still many scholars who were suddenly hit by a brick while walking.
On the third day, the scholars who had been suffering for two days finally welcomed the good news. The scholars who survived celebrated with each other. Some scholars whose heads were wrapped in white cloth even shed tears of happiness. They had finally survived.
This time, the interviewer was mainly Su Mo 'er. Li Yin, the prince, was just watching from the side. The first subject of the interview was the article and poetry. This was the hardware. The information collected from the people had been sorted out and could only be expressed through good writing.
The talented scholars who stood out from the poems and essays took out the recommendation documents issued by the government. These documents recorded whether these people were filial, honest, and noble. Those who passed both tests were examined for their adaptability. Those who were stubborn were all eliminated. After six days of interviews, the team of Shengtang Business Daily was finally decided.
"Your Highness, this is Shangguan Yi, the chief editor of the Sheng Tang Business Daily!”After a few days, Su Mo 'er was also a little tired. However, she was gratified that she had indeed found a talent.
When he saw this name on the admission list, Li Yin was also a little surprised. He couldn't help but wonder if it was really the Shangguan Yi from history.
Looking at the young man in front of him, who was only twenty-five years old, with his head lowered, Li asked,"Where are you from?"
"Your Highness, I am from Shan County, Shan Prefecture!”
The Shangguan Yi in the history books was indeed a native of Shan County, Shan Prefecture. However, he was a Jinshi in the first year of Zhenguan and immediately entered Hongwen Hall. Why would he come out to apply for the position of chief editor now?
What kind of place was Hongwen Hall? That was a place for the Crown Prince to recruit talents. Li Yin's face darkened. The Crown Prince had already interfered with the underground pipeline. This time, the Crown Prince had played this trick with him again. He even wanted to plant spies in the newspaper.
If it was the previous Li Yin, he would have fallen into the Crown Prince's trap. Unfortunately, how could he not know Shangguan Wan 'er's biological grandfather at all?
"Yes, do well! You can go out first!" Li Yin's expression remained the same. After Shangguan Yi left, Li Yin said to Su Mo 'er,"demote Shangguan Yi to editor!"
"Your Highness, why is that? I looked at his paper. His essay is the best!”Su Mo 'er was puzzled.
"Because he's the Crown Prince's man!" Li Yin said word by word.
Su Mo 'er's face turned pale.”
"No, this will only alert the enemy. If the Crown Prince sends someone else next time, we might not be able to tell!”
Su Mo 'er nodded and suddenly lowered her head." Your Highness, it's all Mo' er's fault for luring the wolf into the house!”
"You don't have to blame yourself. Shangguan Yi is very talented. If it were me, I would choose him too, but we might be able to take this opportunity to poach the Crown Prince and make him suffer.”Li Yin's eyes narrowed. It seemed that a war without smoke had already begun.
In Ming De Hall of the Eastern Palace, Shangguan Yi was reporting to Li Chengqian what she had seen in the Liang Residence. A young man in a green round-neck shirt stood beside Li Chengqian, waving a paper fan and nodding his head.
