In Taiji Palace.
Li Shimin sat high on the dragon throne and looked at the article in his hand. It was written by Lu Yan and all of it had been copied.
After a while, Li Shimin put down the article.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This Lu Yan was really full of talent. No matter how she read it, she could feel the extremely high intention and Ling Yun's breadth of mind.
Recalling the conversation with Lu Yan today, Li Shiming could not help but smile.
"This fellow is quite clever.”
However, it was not annoying. Instead, it was somewhat likable.
Li Shi Min admired him.
Along the way, Lu Yan had been facing his own calmness, his amazing talent, and his understanding of the flood control plan.
He was extremely surprised.
Although he was a scholar, he was not pedantic and knew how to use it flexibly.
This was what he valued the most.
It wasn't that easy to be a subject.
Smart people often knew what to do and would not be so rigid when dealing with government affairs.
He would rather the court be filled with such smart people than see foolishly loyal officials.
It would be quite easy to get along with such a person.
"The only thing I can do is to goad him into action at the beginning. He's a little too clumsy and bold. He's actually not afraid that I'll kill him in anger!”
Li Shi Min smiled and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
Lu Yan's performance was too monstrous, making him feel that it was unreal.
This goading method made Lu Yan become flesh and blood.
This was the true appearance of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth.
Li Shimin did not doubt him. There were many talented people in the world.
He was just gifted.
Only by being able to inherit this talent was the way of the king. Otherwise, he would only be a nobody.
However, Li Shimin believed that Lu Yan's performance would only get better.
He was in a good mood.
"This old servant wishes Your Majesty the best of luck in finding another worthy minister. Lord Lu Yan, you have talent that this old servant has never seen in decades. His Majesty's ascension to the throne must have moved the heavens and bestowed upon the Great Tang good fortune.”
The old eunuch standing next to Li Shiming suddenly stood up and bowed to Li Shiming. He said in an excited tone,"With this virtuous minister's assistance, the Great Tang will prosper for generations to come.”
The old eunuch had white hair and looked very old.
His skin was smooth and there were no wrinkles on his face. His steps were steady and he was full of energy.
"Hmm?"
Li Shi Min turned his head and asked curiously.
However, he did not blame the eunuch for being too talkative. This eunuch's surname was originally Zhao, but because he was deeply in his heart, he gave him the surname Huang.
It was a great honor to be named Li Changsheng.
Ever since Li Shiming was born, Li Changsheng had been by his side taking care of him. He had basically watched him grow up.
Therefore, Li Changsheng had a very high position in Li Shiming's heart and was regarded as a true trusted aide.
Usually, he wouldn't be afraid of anything.
Therefore, he did not care that Li Changsheng was discussing government affairs.
This was a taboo in the eyes of ordinary imperial families, but Li Shimin would discuss it with Li Changsheng from time to time.
Li Changsheng was used to it, which was why he was speaking here.
"Ever since the imperial examinations were popular in the previous dynasty, when have we ever seen such a genius in the imperial examinations? His Majesty had just ascended the throne and presided over the imperial examination, but he met Lord Lu. Wouldn't His Majesty's luck be so deep that he would attract talented people?”
Li Changsheng explained," It must be because His Majesty ascended the throne and followed the will of the heavens. He should be the Son of Heaven. It's only right and proper that he sent down a lucky star."”
Li Shi Min also felt that this was too much of a coincidence.
If he did not preside over the imperial examination, he would have missed out on Lu Yan. Such a talented scholar would be exiled to the border because he was accused of cheating.
Perhaps his life was in danger.
At the very least, it would be very difficult for Li Shiming to see Lu Yan again in this lifetime.
Lu Yan would also have to carry this crime and be despised by all the scholars in the world for his entire life. No one knew that this person actually had talent that surpassed the ancient Cao Zhi.
"Could it really be the will of the heavens?"
If it wasn't for heaven's will, how could such a monstrous figure appear?
Geniuses were everywhere, but he had never heard of someone like Lu Yan.
The heavens had blessed him, and he was destined to become the emperor. That was why he had such a performance.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Li Shi Min's face.
The Black Tortoise Sect incident had always been a thorn in his heart that was difficult to remove.
Rumors spread among the people.
Saying that his throne was not legitimate had become a sore spot for him.
Li Changsheng's words had hit the nail on the head. The haze of the incident at Black Tortoise Sect had been greatly reduced.
The dragon's face was overjoyed.
Even if he knew that this was mostly to please him.
Heaven's will... In ancient times, although everyone believed in it, he was not so persistent.
He also believed that everything depended on one's efforts.
Li Shi Min didn't care.
He also paid more and more attention to Lu Yan.
There were many talented ministers, but there were only a few who were talented and suited his wishes.
.............
In an inn in Chang 'an.
Lu Yan took out the last of his silver taels from his pocket and booked a room.
The original owner of the body was just a poor scholar with a rough life. His parents died when he was young, and his uncle and aunt raised him, but they were extremely harsh on him.
They relied on the village's financial aid to barely survive.
Only when he studied hard and wanted to pass the imperial examination would he be obsessed with cheating in the imperial examination.
What a pitiful person.
Lu Yan did not think too much about it. After he took office, this predicament would no longer exist.
As a fifth-grade official of the imperial court.
Not only did he have his own mansion, but his monthly salary was also generous.
He no longer had to worry about money.
Now, he was only doing this for a while. The most important thing was to receive the system's reward.
He returned to his room and dismissed the waiter.
He locked the door.
When he realized that no one was paying attention to him.
Then, he sat on the chair and pulled out the system.
He looked at the reward in front of him.
Master level calligraphy and Lu Bu's bravery.
He immediately looked forward to it. He wondered what the reward would be like.
Lu Yan did not hesitate and muttered in his heart,"Receive your reward!"
