One Less, One Against Nine! Kneel, tip, and comment
"What is it? Big brother is the tenth scholar?"
On the grandstand.
Following Cheng Chumo's exclamation, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the other ministers were all dumbfounded.
Especially Li Shi Min, he stared at Lu Yuan in disbelief.
What was going on!
It was clearly a meeting that you planned yourself.
Previously, he kept saying that it was planned by the geniuses of the world. Now, he actually went up himself!
"Lord Fang, what's going on?" Wei Zheng asked in a daze.”
"I…How would I know!"
Fang Xuanling, who had always been calm, was also in a state of confusion.
Even he was like this, let alone the other civil officials beside him. For a moment, the discussions could not stop.
"This... this doesn't follow the rules!”
"As the Crown Prince's Tycoon, it's really an insult to our culture to participate in this meeting!”
"Lu Yuan is cheating!”
"I refuse to believe that the poem that this fellow submitted previously was written by himself. There must be a huge problem with it!”
·····
In itself.
Many people did not like Lu Yuan's appearance.
Previously, in the court, although he had displayed extraordinary experience in governing the country, this did not mean that he was also good at literature.
Therefore, right now.
Seeing that he was actually ranked in the top ten, those civil officials could not believe it.
Li Shi Min couldn't help but exclaim,"Lu Yuan, you…"
Looking at his expression, Lu Yuan knew what he wanted to say.
Before Li Shi Min could finish, he smiled calmly and said,"Your Majesty, this subject is only fifteen years old, a citizen of the Great Tang, and has read some books and poems. There seems to be no rule that says I can't participate, right?”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Indeed!
According to the decree on the Yellow Board, everyone only needed to pay a hundred wen as the registration fee. There were no restrictions.
As a scholar, Lu Yuan was naturally qualified.
Such a reasonable answer stunned the civil officials.
However, Li Shiming was unmoved. He was even more annoyed in his heart. Even if this rule was set by you yourself, of course there would be no problem.
When he thought of this.
All of a sudden, he recalled the scene that Lu Yuan had told him in the Dew Hall that day.
Only then did he suddenly react.
Hiss!
It turned out that this fellow had long thought of going up on stage himself.
That was why he deliberately raised the prize money to ten thousand strings!!!
Sitting in his seat, Li Shi Min couldn't remain calm anymore when he thought of this.
However…
Lu Yuan had advanced from the competition to this point, all by himself.
Without any improper means, he would naturally ignore the questioning words of those officials.
Immediately, he walked towards the arena without any hesitation.
At this moment.
The exclamations from the stands naturally spread throughout the venue, so much so that everyone was extremely shocked.
Although Lu Yuan's name had spread throughout Chang 'an, he had always stayed in the Eastern Palace. Apart from the ministers in the court, not many people had seen his lineup.
This was also why no one knew his identity.
"This young man is so young, but he's actually the Crown Prince's teacher?”
"I didn't expect to see the genius young man outside Chang 'an City today!”
"This match is going to be interesting. I didn't expect even the Crown Prince's Tycoon to participate. I'm afraid he'll be the dark horse of this competition!”
"This is a poetry competition. The Crown Prince's Tycoon is only ranked tenth. Moreover, the results are decided by everyone present. Even if he has a noble status, he can't go against the Emperor's orders!”
"Right, right, right. His talent might not be better than these talents. I even bet 500 wen on Young Master Zhao Hui!”
······
Instantly.
The atmosphere at the scene was also filled with exclamations.
Obviously, many scholars were excited about Lu Yuan's appearance.
It was the exact opposite.
The other nine scholars standing on the stage all had bitter expressions and mixed feelings.
They would never have thought that the scholar ranked tenth, the one with the lowest presence, Lu Yuan, was actually the Crown Prince's Tycoon, Lu Yuan!
How was this going to end?
The grand and dignified Crown Prince's Tycoon came to participate in the competition. Wasn't this bullying?
Even the official in charge of recording was stunned.
When the emcee from the Ministry of Rites saw this, he immediately guessed what the problem was. He quickly turned around and scolded his subordinate in a low voice,"What's going on, even Daren's name is written wrong!”
Those subordinates naturally looked aggrieved.
There were only ten people in total, and they had followed the name list. How could such a big mistake have happened?
However…
With the situation in front of them, they could only quickly remove the flag and change the name on it.
A moment later.
Lu Yuan had already walked up to the arena. The calm smile on his face made it impossible to see through his thoughts.
The emcee quickly recovered and shouted,"Let the competition begin. All the scholars, please get ready. In the first round, each of you will write a seven-character poem.”
A seven-character poem!
To the Great Tang, this was undoubtedly the most classic style of writing.
Therefore, when the questions were out, the few geniuses all revealed relaxed expressions.
However, just as they were about to start writing.
Lu Yuan, who was standing in the middle, suddenly shouted,""Wait!"
"Don't waste any more time, lest you say that I'm bullying you. Today, the nine of you will attack together, and I'll take all of them. As long as there's a poem that can beat me, it'll be considered my loss!”The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile.
The moment these words were said, the nine scholars on the stage were stunned.
Li Shi Min was dumbfounded.
Some of the civil officials on the grandstand were furious!
It had to be said.
These words were called arrogant!
Looking at the entire scene, perhaps only Li Chengqian and Cheng Chumo were excited after hearing this. They were just short of shouting that their big brother was awesome.
Look, what was called imposing manner!
But what they didn't know was that Lu Yuan didn't do this just to show off.
Instead, they had already made plans before the meeting.
According to his current situation, other than a large amount of money, he also needed a large amount of reputation points.
However, ever since he was conferred the title of Crown Prince's Grand Protector, he had been staying in the palace without showing his face. The Reputation Points he had obtained could be said to be pitifully small. It was not even enough for one lottery draw.
Therefore, he planned for this meeting to take advantage of the arena battle.
In order to gain enough reputation points, his performance naturally had to shock everyone.
It was precisely because of this that the scene in front of him had happened.
