When they saw Li Yi scratching his boots, all the officials were frightened and retreated.
Especially those civil and military officials who had targeted him just now. After retreating, they bent their backs and lowered their heads, afraid that the kid would see them.
"Lord Wang, stop hiding. I see you. Come out quickly and help me take off my boots.”Li Yi shouted at a certain figure that was hiding.
Li Jing couldn't stand it anymore and scolded his son,""Impudent, this is the Imperial College's Political Questions Hall, don't do anything that is humiliating.”
"I don't have to take off my boots, but I can always get him to come out and serve as my paperweight.”Li Yi had no intention of letting the King off the hook.
Hou Junji and his clique had provoked him time and time again. If he didn't teach them a lesson, they would truly think he was weak and easy to bully.
Li Shimin, who was in the main hall, seemed to be biased towards Li Yi as well. He shouted in a dignified manner,""Wang Quan, please feel wronged.”
After hearing this, Wang Quan looked like he wanted to cry."Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, she braced herself and walked to Li Yi's side. She arranged the paper for him and pressed one end of it with her hand."Duke, you can start writing now.”
"Thank you, Lord Wang."
Li Yi gave him a bright smile innocently.
However, Hou Junji and Wang Quan wanted nothing more than to smash the ink and inkstone in their hands onto the boy's face.
All the officials and officials in the court smiled at this scene.
Princess Changle, who was under Empress Zhangsun, secretly smiled.""He's too bad."
Empress Zhangsun looked at her daughter and said nothing. Then, she turned her gaze to the center of the hall again.
Li Yi only needed to brush a few strokes to write down the poem.
When Li Yi finished writing, both Hou Junji and Wang Quan hurriedly covered their faces and retreated. The two of them were even faster than rabbits.
Today, in front of all the civil and military officials, they had suffered humiliation. They wanted nothing more than to rush back to the residence and hide.
Their hatred for Li Yi was like a torrential flood.
Although Hou Junji and Wang Chong were indignant, none of the officials in the hall went forward to comfort them.
That was because everyone's eyes were now focused on that piece of calligraphy.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling walked over and picked up the calligraphy with a surprised expression."Eh, Commandant Li's handwriting seems to have improved.”
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he made a move that left everyone dumbfounded. With a few swipes, he folded the slightly dried ink. Then, with lightning speed, he hid it in his sleeve.
Seeing this, Li Shi Min suddenly stood up and his expression changed."Minister Fang, what do you mean? That was given to me by Little Li. I said that I would frame it and let the students of the Imperial College admire it.”
Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling, who had always been elegant and steady, said,"Your Majesty, then you can ask Li Xiaowei to write another one. The brush, ink, paper, and inkstone are still here anyway. At worst, he would let the Duke of Chen and the magistrate, Lord Wang, work a little harder.”
Li Shiming pointed at Fang Xuanling and scolded him jokingly,"You old thing, that was originally intended to be my collection. As for the second painting, I was just about to frame it and hang it in the Imperial College. Who knew that the first painting would be snatched by you.”
Hou Junji, who was hiding among the officials, trembled and almost fell to the ground.
"Hou Junji, Wang Quan, please come out and help…"
………………
In the end, Li Yi wrote another one and solemnly framed it. Under Li Shi Min's orders, it was quickly hung on the side of the Political Affairs Hall.
"Brat Li, you still owe me a calligraphy piece. You have reached such a level of calligraphy at such a young age. I hope that in the future, there will be a Sage of Calligraphy in the Great Tang.”Li Shi Min said solemnly.
In response, Li Yi could only nod and say that he would do his best.
At this moment, Wei Zheng returned to the main hall.
"Your Majesty, after the selection, 236 scholars were selected from more than 3,000 students.”
"Bring them up and let zhen see the first batch of scholars of the Imperial College.”Li Shi Min immediately perked up and sat up straight.
A few moments later, more than two hundred scholars from all over the Great Tang entered the hall.
After saluting, the two hundred people stood in the middle of the aisle in silence.
However, from their trembling bodies, one could tell how excited they were.
To be able to stand out among the thousands of scholars, they were undoubtedly the most outstanding talents of the Great Tang.
Li Shi Min looked at the excited scholars and said excitedly,""Haha, all the talents in the world have entered my hands.”
These scholars had all gone through a strict selection process. It could be said that most of them were the elites of the elites. They were all erudite and talented people. Among these people, there were scholars with unparalleled benevolence and filial piety, scholars with the reputation of child prodigies, and even poor children who worked hard.
Li Shi Min looked at these energetic scholars and gave them encouragement.
Under the encouragement of the emperor, the scholars were extremely excited.
Li Shimin, the Emperor of the Great Tang, walked to the center of the hall and had a deep conversation with the excited scholars.
Among these scholars, Li Shi Min found many famous talents. Among them, the most famous was Luo Binwang, who was known as a child prodigy since childhood.
When he was seven years old, he had composed the poem "Ode to the Goose." It could be said that it had spread throughout the Great Tang Empire and was praised by the world. It was even regarded as a piece of enlightenment for poetry.
It could be said that many of the princes and children present could recite this poem.
Everyone had thought that Luo Binwang was a young man in his twenties, but who knew that he was only a teenager of seventeen or eighteen.
Li Shiming spoke with him for a while before encouraging this renowned prodigy of the Great Tang.
Although Luo Binwang's expression was filled with pride, no one paid it much attention. This person had the right to be proud, so no one took it seriously.
However, when Li Shi Min was about to leave, the genius child prodigy said,""Your Majesty, I heard that there are also extraordinary people among the children of the princes. I would like to compete with them.”
Luo Binwang's words shocked the entire hall.
