"Since all the officials feel that I'm still young and lacking in ability, why don't we make a bet?”
Lu Yan took a step forward and ignored the officials 'extremely ugly expressions."Put on a show. Poetry, articles, politics…Everyone, feel free to come. I can handle all of you.”
"If I lose, I'll leave on the spot and never be an official again!”
Lu Yan glanced at the officials and said coldly,""If you lose, you will take the blame and resign…How is it?"
You said that I don't have the ability to be an official, so I'll prove it to you!
They said that I was not good at politics and lacked experience.
As long as you choose!
In short, I'll beat you until you're convinced.
Boom!
As soon as these words were said, the entire hall was moved.
The officials were furious.
Arrogant!
He was too arrogant!
They had never seen such an arrogant person. He actually wanted to fight all the civil officials present with his own strength.
Where did he get the confidence and courage to say such words to them?
Wei Zheng was also extremely shocked. He looked at the figure standing in the middle of the field with extreme arrogance.
He could not help but shake his head and sigh.
It was inevitable for young people to be frivolous.
However, it was not that easy.
Although these officials could betray everything for the sake of their families, it did not mean that they were incapable.
On the contrary, they were born into wealthy families and lived in luxury.
They received the most elite education.
The people present were all top-notch existences. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to be competent.
Lu Yan alone wanted to challenge all of them. At such a young age, how could it be possible?
He would probably lose miserably!
He had to pay the price for his arrogance.
Even if he won. What was the use of that? Lu Yan's actions had long offended the aristocratic families. It would be difficult for him to become an official in the court.
Even though he felt that the possibility of this was extremely low.
Li Shi Min was also stunned. He didn't expect this kid to be so unpredictable.
It was completely different from what he had expected.
He had gone so far as to offend everyone.
He thought that he was bold enough and was nothing compared to Lu Yan.
However... Why did he feel so refreshed?
"What a big joke. Who are we to bet with you?”
A young official stood out and said coldly,""Even if we win, if word gets out, it will be said that we bullied a child and are despised by others.”
"You're so young, but your tone is not small.”
The official beside him also agreed and looked at Lu Yan coldly."We have been taught by great teachers since we were young and have read a lot of books. How can a child like you imagine us? Could it be that we ignore the world just because we have some talent?”
"You're just a frog at the bottom of a well and short-sighted.”
They had never met such a provocative person who did not put them in his eyes.
Naturally, he was furious, but he felt even more humiliated from being looked down upon.
"I'm alone, but I'm not going to celebrate the New Year and want to gamble with you. What else are you afraid of? Are you really afraid?”
The military officials sneered.
They all looked like they were watching a good show. It had to be known that the generals and these civil officials had never gotten along.
She couldn't stand their hypocrisy.
He was happy to see such a scene, and it also made these people who spoke of benevolence and morality suffer.
He was extremely happy.
"Wouldn't it be beneath your status to gamble with such a vulgar person?”
The young official snorted and flung his sleeves.
"So you don't dare to bet?"
Before the general could speak, Lu Yan's voice was heard."You keep saying that you're bullying children, but you don't even have the courage to bet with me.”
"Then you better put away your attitude and shut up. Although I'm young, I'm not the kind of person who only knows how to open his mouth and act recklessly. I don't even have the courage to gamble with a youth on poetry.”
Lu Yan would not have a good temper when he faced them. Regardless of whether Li Shiming was behind it or not, at the very least, these people made him extremely unhappy.
He wasn't the kind of person who would swallow his pride when someone was riding on his head.
He had been reborn with 5,000 years of knowledge from China and the system.
If he didn't have this bit of pride, then he might as well not live.
"Today, I will take the position of right servant. Whoever is not convinced, come out!"
Lu Yan raised his head and looked at the crowd with a strong fighting spirit.
As for the young official, he was completely ignored by Lu Yan.
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Once upon a time, no matter where he was, he was from an aristocratic family, held a high position, and had a respected status. He was always looked up to by others. Others had always fawned over him.
When had he ever suffered such anger?
His face turned green and purple, and his blood rushed up.
"Since you're seeking death, I'll fulfill your wish!”
"I didn't want to make things difficult for you and embarrass you because you're a young man," the young official said angrily. I didn't expect you to be so tactless. Today, I'll make a bet with you. If I lose, I'll take the blame and resign on the spot. I won't be an official in the court anymore!”
"Your Majesty, I hope you can fulfill the bet today. This lowly subject suddenly asks Your Majesty to be a witness. There is no reason for me to go back on my words!”
He glanced at Lu Yan and said to Li Shiming with cupped fists.
Li Shimin looked at the furious official and then at the calm Lu Yan. He knew that this was what he wanted to see the most, but he still looked 'worried' and said hypocritically,"This isn't appropriate, my dear minister.”
"Your Majesty, there's no need to say anything more. This matter concerns the dignity of a scholar. If I don't gamble, I will only be humiliated. I will let down the poetry and books that I have studied for more than ten years and disappoint my teacher.”
The young official did not give any explanation.
Li Shi Min could only sigh and finally nodded helplessly,"Since you say so, then we'll do as you wish. However, he still had to be careful not to hurt their harmony.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
How could the young official hear all this clearly? He only wanted Lu Yan to disappear completely in front of him.
Lu Yan glanced at the young official. He was so brainless that he could not stand it even if he was provoked.
He didn't even know that he had been betrayed.
With such intelligence, he dared to bet with him?
