The Pride of a Scholar, Begin the Competition! Kneel, tip, and comment
Lu Yuan's actions at this moment.
In the future, it would be like a concert.
Especially when…
In this era of the Great Tang, there had always been a clear hierarchy. The noble families could never be on equal footing with the commoners.
In the past, other than the Imperial Family and the officials, there was no one else at the court gatherings.
Previously, when they heard that the assembly had announced that they would allow the commoners to watch, many people were still somewhat conflicted. Even though Fang Xuanling had suppressed this matter, those nobles still had a grudge in their hearts.
And now.
Seeing the entrance fee and VIP seats set by Lu Yuan, she felt much better.
What's wrong with spending some money?
They were of noble birth, so they deserved this treatment.
This was also the reason why many people still chose the VIP seats despite knowing that the price was a little expensive.
Let's talk about the mastermind of the whole thing.
Lu Yuan had seized the pride of these people and made a fortune out of them.
Don't look at how big the scene was this time, the profits were also quite a lot.
However, it was clear that the majority of the money was taken by Li Shiming. He was just a 'worker' who ate some soup.
Moreover, he had spent a lot of money in the past. If he did not take the opportunity to earn back some money, he would not be able to live anymore.
For a moment.
As the audience entered the venue one after another, boxes of silver fell into Lu Yuan's pocket.
Of course, because of the previous incident, Li Shiming didn't know about this. He thought that he had profited.
······
In the venue.
The audience paid their fees and entered one after another. The venue was already filled with people.
On the other side of the grandstand, Li Shiming and the other officials were seated.
He only glanced over.
Li Shiming was surprised by the layout of the scene.
Obviously, there were no ordinary people in the past activities. Even if there were, they would only stand in the distance and watch. It was really rare to see such a uniform scene.
For a moment, he could not help but laugh and ask,"What are those wooden tablets for?"
"Father!"
"This is all arranged by the teacher and his people to prevent disturbing the order.”
"He said that he wanted the audience to take their seats.”
Li Chengqian explained.
He was also involved in these matters, so he naturally knew about them.
"Interesting."
" Interesting. Lu Yuan, what a good guy." Li Shi Min couldn't help but laugh.
First, it was the entrance fee. Then, it was such a unique seating arrangement. Lu Yuan's series of strange actions clearly caused quite a number of people to feel a little surprised.
And now, the competition was about to begin.
Lu Yuan had changed into a white robe, which gave off the aura of a scholar. He was indeed a young man with an extraordinary temperament.
In the end, he directly sat beside Li Chengqian.
Although he was only a seventh-grade official, he was the Crown Prince's Grand Protector.
Heaven and Earth, the Lord and Teacher!
In the hearts of the people of the Great Tang, a teacher was a respected person. As the Crown Prince's teacher, no one dared to say anything.
Li Shi Min couldn't help but glance at him.
"Minister Lu, you've worked hard this time!”Li Shi Min smiled knowingly in front of the ministers.
As the saying goes!
People are in high spirits at happy events.
Li Shi Min was in a good mood after enjoying the taste of his sudden wealth. He was not stingy with his praise for Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan had just sat down when he heard the sudden praise. He was also stunned.
In his heart, he thought that Li Shiming wanted to snatch money from him, so he immediately smiled and replied,"Your Majesty, you praise me too much. I'm just sharing your worries.”
Hearing this, Li Shi Min smiled.
But in fact, he didn't understand the meaning of the words.
What Lu Yuan really wanted to express was something completely different.
Money was the source of pain!
Then let him bear all the pain alone.
However, under such circumstances, Lu Yuan would never say these words out loud.
In the venue.
Tens of thousands of people were gathered in the surroundings. In addition to the many tables prepared around the arena, the scene could be said to be a lively scene.
"It's too spectacular!"
"Is that His Majesty the Emperor on the stage?”
"Your Majesty has come personally. Our position is undoubtedly excellent. Three strings of money are worth it!!”
"Hahaha, our first row is at the very front of the stage. When the number one scholar in the world is born later, we will be the best witnesses!”
"Look at the third son of the Xiao family. He pretends in front of us every day, but now he's sitting with the commoners!”
······
After tens of thousands of people entered the venue, they were all shocked.
Especially those dignitaries sitting in the VIP seats, they were all pleased that the entrance fee was worth it.
Not to mention them.
Witnessing this magnificent scene, Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, and the other ministers were all amazed.
When had such a grand event ever occurred in the Great Tang?
When did scholars receive such treatment?
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the conference, Li Shimin had decreed that the Ministry of Rites would personally be in charge of this conference. The specifications were no less than the various parties in previous years.
A moment later.
Everyone was stunned by the sound of the drums.
When the thirty-six drumbeats were over, the scene was completely silent, because they all knew that it was the emperor's turn to speak.
On the grandstand.
Li Shi Min, who was wearing an imperial robe, waved his sleeves and slowly stood up.
"Ever since I ascended the throne, I have been working hard to make the country prosperous. I only want the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment. I have always known the importance of talents.”
"For the Great Tang to be able to prosper and its people to live in peace, it is not without the brave generals guarding the borders, but the scholars 'contribution to governing the court is equally important.”
······
"It can be said that the scholars of the world have a long way to go.”
"This time, We have called for the Great Tang's Talents Meeting not only to give all of you a platform to display your ambitions, but also to allow all of you to display your talents and the pride of the Great Tang's talents!”
Li Shi Min's sonorous voice echoed throughout the entire venue.
Hearing this, the scholars were all excited.
What a joke!
He had been influenced by the Confucian ideology of monarch and minister.
To them, it was undoubtedly a great honor to be praised by the Emperor.
Especially the pride of a genius of the Great Tang!
Even though the vast majority of them were unsuccessful candidates.
However…
Which talent didn't have great ambitions?
Li Shi Min's words had undoubtedly ignited the fire in their hearts.
Li Shiming was also immersed in the excitement.
Awesome!
Usually, in the imperial court, he would be rebuked by the officials every day.
Now that he had finally found an opportunity, how could he not pretend?
Looking at those excited talents who were willing to risk their lives for the king, Li Shiming felt a sense of accomplishment.
After enjoying it for a moment, he immediately shouted,"His Majesty hereby proclaims that the first Great Tang Genius Competition has officially begun!!!”
