Time flies, and soon the day of the coronation will take place. On this day, Yu Liang did not rain, the sky was still exceptionally blue, the autumn breeze was cool, the cool breeze was blowing, and the comfortable weather was refreshing.

At this time, Lu Hui was following Lu Yan and them on their way to Jingshan. Along the way, Green Hui has been thinking, why didn't this conference be held indoors, Yu Liang's weather is said to turn his face, in case of rain, will he see a group of soup chickens singing on stage?

Curious, she had no choice but to ask Lu Han on the side.

It turned out that there were indeed quite a lot of people attending this conference, and there were dozens or even hundreds of people in one school, not counting some obscure small schools. In ancient times, these gatherings of hundreds or thousands of people were really relatively large-scale, and it was not impossible to find an indoor one that could accommodate so many people in Yuliang or other places, just to increase the "transparency" of the conference, so that the common people could also spontaneously come and watch, so they chose to hold it outdoors. It's just that they don't have the qualifications to enter the venue without an invitation, and of course they don't have the opportunity to speak.

Luhui deeply felt that the Chongye Dynasty was still very "enlightened" in this regard.

Jingshan is located on the outskirts of Yuliang City, which should be sparsely populated, but Luhui found that there have been a lot of tea houses, wine shops, noodle stalls and other shops for people on the road to solve the problem of food and clothing, and there are some various things for people's entertainment, windmills, clay figures, Kong Ming locks, etc., dazzling.

Green Hui sincerely sighed that the ancient people were still very business-minded.

It took about half an hour for them to arrive at the place where the conference was held. It is a vast open space, several acres wide, located in the middle of the mountainside. The clearing looked like it had been repaired, as there were hardly any weeds to be seen, and there was no gravel or anything like debris on the ground. A wide awning was built with canvas and bamboo poles in the open space, and there was no shelter around it, so as not to block the view of people outside. It turned out that it was not completely open-air, and the canvas was very waterproof, so that even if it rained, the event could be held as scheduled.

When they arrived at the venue, it was already crowded with people. On the perimeter of the shed stood almost several layers of soldiers in order, in a circle around the awning, and they stood straight with spears in their hands. The shed is supported by four thick and straight bamboo poles, the front two of which are slightly higher than the two at the back, to pull up the long banner. The banner prominently reads: Jingshan Coronation Conference! The lower right corner at the bottom of the banner is signed: Organizer Guozijian.

The coronation conference is not an ordinary royal event, its positioning is more inclined to a private gathering, and it is prepared for the exchange of various schools. The target is not the royal family, the dignitaries and nobles, but the various schools. The emperor only participated in the conference as the head of a school here, so it did not pay much attention to the form, and even seemed to be relatively simple in arrangement. But the crowd is still shocking.

Directly in front of the booth stood several people, who greeted the people who were going to enter the venue and checked the prayer stickers, and blocked them if they were suspicious. Green Hui and others showed their greeting posts one after another, and then entered the venue. The seats in the shed have been arranged according to the school, and the seat of the quaint school is in the middle of the shed, and the head of the quaint school is the emperor, no matter how respectful and inferior it is, it still has to be divided, and it is still the dominant school, and if it is not crowned for a day, the status of each school will not change. The seats of the other four schools were scattered on either side of the quaint school.

Green Hui followed everyone into the venue and sat down. According to the order of dignity and inferiority, Lu Houye, Lu Han, Lu Manqi and other important figures of the Lu family are seated in the first row, followed by the scholars with the deepest academic attainments in the school, respectively, Boshi, Zhongshi, Shushi, Jishi, and the rest are some scholars who are not qualified to be titled, and so on.

The organizational structure of several schools in the Chongye Dynasty is generally that the head of the sect holds the highest power (the head also holds the position of the local princes), and there are several major positions under the rank of Boshi, Zhongshi, Shushi, and Jishi, and the deeper the academic attainments and qualifications, the higher the position, which is a bit like the modern system of "competition for posts", and several scholars are in charge of a different number of scholars in charge of specific work. Several schools are not involved in political affairs, but they are more important than the backbone, and they are the strong backing of a region, because only when they are strong, can the economic pillar be maintained, and the military will be developed. So the status is highly respected. Those with high fame in the school can even be exempted from paying taxes and labor, and have treatment that ordinary people cannot enjoy.

Green Hui belongs to a scholar who has just started, with a low status, and should have been seated in the last row, but with Lu Yan, the son of the Lu family, covering it, it is another matter, sure enough, Green Hui was arranged in the second row, closely followed by Lu Yan and others.

As soon as he sat down, two more groups of people entered one after another, presumably two of the schools, walking in front of the costumes, surrounded by everyone should be the head of the school, and his bearing is still incomparable to ordinary people.

Lu Hui just wanted to ask others for an explanation, but at this time, he saw a familiar person striding towards the seat of the Guiyuan faction, followed by a long line of people. The man was dressed in a dark purple brocade gown, with a dark gray silver ribbon around his waist, and his jet-black hair was neatly combed and tied with a ribbon. The knife-like side is resolute and deep, and the expression on his face is still not much, but it can't hide his scorching grace at all.

"It's !! him" Green Hui finally remembered that he was the one he had run down on the street that day. However, he still appears here, and it seems that his status is not low.

"The first time you looked at me, the way you looked at me was like this, hey, how embarrassed I was to change the target so quickly!" Lu Yan next to him saw that Lu Hui had been staring at the man, and pretended to tease her with a sour look.

"I just think he looks familiar, he looks like the person I knocked down that day!" Green Hui ignores his vexatiousness.

"That's really a narrow road, that person is the grandson of the Guiyuan faction, Li Zai, his father is also the head of the Guiyuan faction, he is seriously ill, presumably he is attending this coronation meeting in place of his father!"

Green Hui obviously guessed the ** of the ten, but she thought that such a big man would definitely not take those little things to heart, and besides, she was easy to look at now, so she didn't think about it anymore.

When the men of all the factions were almost all together, they sent the quaint sect on the throne of the lord. Of course, the big names are the finale.

"Emperor-up-on-car-arrived!" With a shout, a touch of bright yellow entered the venue surrounded by everyone.

There was no imaginary pomp, but I saw a young man in his early twenties wearing a brocade dress embroidered with a golden dragon embroidered in bright yellow, and there was no beaded crown on his head, only a bright yellow ribbon, and he was dressed more casually, just like attending an ordinary family banquet. Despite this, his own graceful demeanor and handsome appearance are still a little eye-catching.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" It's casual, but it's still necessary to be polite. The crowd stood and bowed.

Lu Hui stood up and saluted like everyone else, at this time he couldn't help but sigh at the emperor's face, he didn't expect him to be so young and handsome, only sighed at the dragon and phoenix posture among such a hearty person, no wonder Lu Manji has admired it for a long time. This little girl should be secretly looking at her crush right now!

"Calm down, I'm just here to attend the conference today as a representative of a school, you don't have to be polite, you don't have to be restrained, the hero this time is Guozijian, and he will preside over the conference!" The posture is not as high as imagined, and the tone is like a warm spring breeze.

I have to say that the favorability has risen a lot all of a sudden.

Guozijian and his entourage just followed the emperor and them in, but the emperor's aura was too strong, so everyone ignored their existence.

Cai Ye heard the emperor mention Guozijian at this time, so he stood up. I saw him walk to a high platform arranged in the open space in the middle of the venue in advance (the high platform was specially set up for Guozijian to preside over the conference), first gave a simple speech, explained the reason for the conference, and then officially announced the opening of the conference. The first step is the coronation and disbursement of funds.

This was the first time she had seen Cai Ye's face, but his voice had already been engraved into her mind, and her heart was already in chaos at this time, but she tried her best to restrain herself from showing it. So what others see is not half different from her.

Cai Ye's people in the Guozijian read in detail the merits and contributions of each school in the past five years. In fact, these so-called meritorious contributions were announced at the last congress, and they were known to the whole world, and they just said it again as a rule, paving the way for the coronation below, and by the way, let everyone outside know what the various schools of thought have done for the country.

Others may have heard it, but for Green Hui, these are all fresh, and of course she listened attentively.

"In the seventeenth year of Yeluan, the great drought in the south, famine, epidemic, starvation everywhere, countless casualties, panic among the people, rumors spread all over the place, the ancient Ya faction then reprimanded the people to appease the people, and then opened a warehouse to relieve the epidemic, gave the people 50,000 stones, and even more, for the coffin of the dead, for the deceased to ask the monk to do the excess, at the same time, the decree was reformed, the local household tax was reduced for one year, and the person without the household tax gave his family money of 3,000, which was like rain falling from heaven to the people, and after the fact, it was to gather the masses and teach the disaster response strategy, the main point was pre-disaster prevention, migration to eat, and protect the forest, Improving the art of cultivation and irrigation, etc., is specially recorded as a first-class merit. After the incident, he mainly built water conservancy, excavated and dredged canals to ensure the communication of major water systems, prevent flood and drought disasters, and provide disaster relief and disaster prevention. The Guiyuan faction, the Manshu faction, and the Ronghua faction, although their efforts are small, they also do their best, assist from the side, work hard, and remember the third-class merits. ”

"In the eighteenth year of Yeluan, at the turn of spring and summer, Yu Liang, Dongli and other people suffered from acute throat closure, and the fast one died in half a day and one day. Seeing this dangerous situation, the Langhua faction seemed to be a rhinoceros to test the medicine with his own body, diligent in refining the elixir to save the people from fire and water, tried and failed, failed again and again, and finally succeeded, most of the people were saved, and the merit was immeasurable, and the first-class merit was specially remembered......"

"In the eighteenth year of Yeluan, in the autumn and July, the Yuhe Bridge collapsed in Yancheng, the people fell into the river under the bridge, and hundreds of people died. The Manshu faction then recommended itself to reshape the bridge, because its ancestors had participated in the construction of the Star Picking Tower in the imperial city, and its research theme in the past five years was about the calculation of earthworks, the division of labor and acceptance of the project in civil engineering, so the public expected, took the great task, and chose the day to construct and rebuild the bridge, which lasted two years, was completed, and after comprehensive evaluation, the bridge was beautiful, safe and secure, and benefited all the people, and it was specially recorded as a first-class meritorious service......"

"In the first year of Yelan, in the summer and April, the southern sergeants suffered from miasma, and many people ...... sick"......

Hearing this, Green Hui couldn't help but roll his eyes several times in his heart, and listened to it throughout, either natural disasters or **, sure enough, no matter ancient or modern, natural disasters ** are always the first problem of people's livelihood, and it is also reasonable to talk about the merits and rewards of various schools of thought in natural disasters**, although the definition of the size of the merit is a bit general. It's just that she also seems to understand a question that has been bothering her all this time from these words, that is, why the quaint faction she is least optimistic about keeps winning, and here she finds the answer.

First, the head of the Guya faction is the emperor, and the whole world is not the king's land, and the emperor doesn't have anything, so in these so-called natural disasters, the Guya faction can use a lot more resources than others. Second, the scholarship studied by the ancient school is really all-encompassing, saying that it is an ancient language, but what psychology, politics, and Buddhism are also invisibly included, anyway, it includes literature, so how can it not win? Third, it is the broad mass base mentioned earlier. It is no wonder that all the emperors have passed this regulation for so many years, because it cannot harm its interests in the slightest, and the status of the Guya School is still unshakable.

Thinking of this, Green Hui suddenly became upset for the Guiyuan faction, speaking of all-encompassing, in fact, the Guiyuan faction is worthy of the name, all the academic research of other schools is included, but this gives people the feeling that it is miscellaneous but not refined, so even if they have contributed a lot in each epidemic, they have only been brought by a few strokes, and the merits are even more lagging behind other schools.

At this time, Lu Hui secretly glanced at Gongsun Li Zai on the opposite seat, this person was sitting like a mountain at this time, his body was also straight, and his face had little expression, as if it was none of his business. Luhui suddenly felt that he was really idle eating radishes and worrying about it, and others didn't care, so he was worried about something. Besides, this person is so cautious, others can't take advantage of him, even if it's not fair, he will definitely do something to get it back. That's right, it's a careful eye!! Lu Hui remembered his angry expression in the rain that day, and unconsciously lost his mind for a while.

When he came back to his senses, the so-called presiding officer had already reported the merits of each school and declared the winner to be the Guya.

Next up is the coronation! The certificate was awarded by Cai Ye in person. I saw Cai Ye take a long-prepared gold-painted gold worship box from a retinue behind him, then gently opened the shrimp, took out a heavy satin-trimmed agarwood certificate with gold trim, and handed it to Helianzhi, the representative of the Guya faction, who was already waiting on the side. Although Helian Zhi is the emperor, he also cooperated throughout the process, his movements were elegant and calm, and he smiled slightly after receiving the certificate, and said with a pleasant face: "Thanks to the humility of all schools, our school can get this honor, may God bless me Chongye, all schools continue to reach the peak, the so-called hundred flowers blooming is spring, and the spring of our Chongye has always been !。

After speaking, everyone stood up and said in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The sound was so loud that it seemed to permeate the entire venue.

The next step is to release the funds. This funding is different from the usual national funding allocated to each locality, and it is specifically set aside for academic research. The Guozijian has prepared several pairs of vouchers made of satin, which are stamped with the seal of the Guozijian, and the various schools will be able to receive their rewards by virtue of the vouchers. It turns out that not only the winner has a reward, but also other schools, but the funding between the rankings is generally quite different, so as to stimulate everyone's fighting spirit more.

The Langhua faction of Nanzhi didn't know that this was the first time they had been at the bottom, and after hearing the funds that Guozijian was going to give to them, and then comparing the funds of the Guya faction, the disparity was so great that people gritted their teeth with hatred.

Green Hui observed that the faction on the other side was already booing, and everyone seemed to have quite an opinion, but they had to accept it.

A large part of the reason why the results of the Lane School have always been unsatisfactory is because their almost constant theme is "alchemy". Originally, they devoted themselves to drug research and development, and took on the heavy responsibility of saving people, and they will definitely do something in the future. It is a pity that they refuse to settle down, and have a deep obsession with "alchemy", which they believe is the most sacred thing in the world, because it is worth spending a lifetime to complete it because it works tirelessly for people's immortality. Ordinary medicine can only save people for a while, and the golden pill of immortality is once and for all, so that people will no longer suffer from the cycle of life and death.

Sitting in the center of the seat at the front should be the head of the Ronghua faction, Han Cheng, the marquis of the Han family, and his two sons, Han Zhang and Han Biao.

I saw that Han Cheng's figure was a little swollen and fat, with a fat brain and a despicable expression, and he didn't have the demeanor of a faction at all. His two sons are better looking than him, but they are only mediocre-looking middle-aged people, and they cannot be compared with the rulers of several other schools.

The older Han Chang was squinting his small eyes at the main seat of the Gu Ya sect at this time, not knowing what he was looking at.
