Although the Qionglin Hall is only a small hall in the outer palace, this is only for the Taiji Palace, which covers an area of thousands of acres. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn fact, when Liu Chang and the others walked into the Qionglin Palace, they were still stunned by its spaciousness.

Obediently, hundreds of people are crammed in, and there is no crowding at all. Not to mention, there are two side halls with bells and drums, and there are several classes of teachers and priests to play music.

Today's Qionglin banquet is originally based on Jinshi as the protagonist, so even Liu Chang and a few people are famous Confucian scholars in Chang'an, and they are only taken to the position in the row behind Jinshi and Jinshi by the inner attendant here. Of course, the seats are slightly more front.

The ministers of the DPRK and China are divided into the left and right sides of the main seat, and they do not compete with the scholars for positions at all.

Seeing Liu Chang's arrival, several Jinshi who had listened to their lectures greeted them from afar. Seeing that these people were able to remember the old feelings, the hearts of several people also felt a lot better. I didn't teach a few white-eyed wolves, otherwise this time I would really lose my wife and lose my soldiers.

Liu Chang and a few people sat on their seats, and the sharp voice of the inner servant came from outside the hall, spreading the news of Li Shimin's arrival. Since it was Li Shimin who led the banquet, his coming was naturally the meaning of the topic. It's a bit surprising that it just came so early. In a blink of an eye, I saw Li Shimin, who was followed by a cadre and an inner attendant, very happily walked into the hall.

got up and bowed down, although the hundreds of people were far less than the scale of the court meeting, but in this relatively cramped hall was quite lively. Li Shimin strode onto the main seat, which made a cadre wait to get off the seat. After seeing everyone sit down, he said heartily: "Ladies and gentlemen, since Datang started the scientific examination, hundreds of people have been successful. Now some of them have become princes. Speaking of this, Li Shimin looked at the left hand side with great satisfaction, everyone will understand, isn't it Luo Yan. Then he continued: "Although some people are just starting their careers, they can benefit one party. I am very satisfied with this result. ”

Speaking of this, a group of people shouted: "Your Majesty Shengming." "What else can I do?

Hearing such praise, on such an occasion, Li Shimin was still quite proud. nodded, and then said to the new science and technology scholar in the hall: "I have also thought about it, it is not easy to wait for the cold window to study hard, and it is even more difficult to be able to get in." If there is no special award, wouldn't it seem that my Datang is too neglectful of talents. Therefore, I specially opened this Qionglin banquet to meet my Tang Dynasty talents with my own eyes. On the other hand, there are also things to say before you go to work. ”

This time, it was the turn of these new science and technology scholars to panic. Li Shimin's ability to talk to them in such a pleasant manner was completely beyond their expectations. Before, I just thought that Li Shimin would come over at the banquet and hurriedly say a few words, and then left in a hurry. Why does it seem that now there is a feeling of being reassured?

But no matter what they thought, they still got up and bowed to Li Shimin: "I'll wait for Your Majesty's training." ”

Li Shimin was very satisfied, pressed his right hand down, and then said, "Okay, you wait to sit down and say." But he was not idle: "This year, you know, I went on a cruise." ”

Li Shimin recalled with a smile on his face and said very embarrassedly: "My people in the Tang Dynasty are suffering." Although the wind and rain are good now, after a year, I can't even eat a few meals of meat. Some poor families can't even eat enough. Although the local officials tried their best to cover it up, how could they escape my eyes. The reason why I don't blame them is because I am primarily responsible. As the son of the Tang Dynasty, I can't let my people eat enough, how can I make my subordinates scapegoat. ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers were stunned. The king humiliated his ministers to death, not to mention Li Shimin's guilt at this time. For a while, a trembling voice of "the ministers are guilty" immediately came from the hall.

Li Shimin has heard enough of such routines. At this time, he didn't pay attention, but just let his courtiers sit down on his left and right, and then continued: "I hope that you will remember what I said today after you go to work. For me to benefit the people under my rule, this is to share my worries. Speaking of excitement, Li Shimin stood up very solemnly, picked up his wine glass, and raised it downward: "I, thank you for waiting." ”

This really moved these new science and technology scholars.

The emperor personally toasted, although he did not refer to one person, but it was enough for them to boast for decades. Tens of thousands of people in the world, who can get this treatment, are afraid that in this hall, there are only a few people.

Some people almost raised their glasses with tears in their eyes, and drank them all in one gulp as Li Shimin raised his glass. Then they went out of their seats, stood in the temple, and then bowed down to outsiders for the first time in their lives. Kneeling is already the heaviest etiquette at this time, that is, the court meeting of Shuowang, and the ministers are just bowing to Li Shimin. Only when the great court will worship the heavens, will there be a situation where the courtiers kneel down to worship the emperor.

Li Shimin drank the cup and left in a hurry.

When the first jinshi sat on their seats again, because without Li Shimin present, the atmosphere was a little more lively. Although there is a dynasty of Zaifu in the hands, but after all, everyone is a vassal of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and there is not much awe. The jinshi let go of their courage at this time and toasted to those close to them.

The long-awaited show has finally begun.

Heaven and Earth Jun is the teacher, this is the order that Shilin has been ranked since Dong Zhongru in the Han Dynasty. As soon as a jinshi is a jinshi, the first person to toast at this time should be the teacher. Different from later generations who used the main examiner of the scientific examination as the teacher, the Datang system of the teacher is a teaching word. Being able to teach and learn is what a real teacher is. As for those who are not invited, they can sit and wait for others to finish toasting before toasting the courtiers and high-ranking officials.

Normally, this kind of thing is very lively. After all, everyone belongs to different teachers, so almost half of the people in the temple are interacting. But this year......

Du Ruhui whispered beside Fang Xuanling: "Today is going to be cold." ”

Fang Xuanling was stunned for a while when he heard this inexplicable remark. When I came back to my senses, I had already seen that half of the seats in the Jinshi Branch were empty, and more than half of the seats in the Ming Jingke were empty, and all the scholars who stood up walked over to their side.

Today's seats are not arranged according to official positions, otherwise Fang Du and the others would not have been stuffed into the third row on the left-hand side. In front of him are all famous figures. It was Luo Yan, who was actually sitting in front of them. Seeing that at this time, this group of Jinshi was walking towards him one by one, and Fang Xuanling suddenly understood. smiled bitterly, and then replied to Du Ruhui: "Today's limelight is really monopolized by this kid alone." If you want me to say, Your Majesty should not go. ”

But seeing more than 20 new science and technology scholars walking to Luo Yan's table together, he bowed and bowed: "I have waited to thank Assistant Teacher Luo." Ask the teaching assistant to drink this cup full. ”

In fact, there is more to them than they want to say in their hearts, especially the few people who were originally very unfavorable. They were able to win, and they didn't feel lucky at all, and now they feel fortunate that they were able to follow Luo Yan all the time. Such a miracle, no, it should be said to be a miracle, was created by Luo Yan with them. Even a historian would write a big deal about this event.

Luo Yan was very proud in his heart. That's right, he's not a saint, if you're not shocked, it's just a matter of talking, if you don't have a smug life, it's not a lot of taste.

Raising his wine glass, he smiled at the twenty-four scholars in front of him: "Don't you know that I am here in Chang'an, and the first thing I am famous for is drinking." After saying that, he laughed twice, and then continued: "Don't thank me, in fact, you chose me at the beginning, and what you get today is what you deserve." I don't have any message, after all, what should be said is for Your Majesty, as long as you can benefit one party for the first term of office, it will be the greatest reward for me. ”

After finishing speaking, he actually raised his head and drank the wine, and nodded at them: "Okay, I don't like alcohol in my life, so I drank it all in one cup and was full of heart." You wait to get acquainted with the princes, such as the two behind me, don't let them go. Let them arrange a real gap for you. "Who is behind Luo Yan, isn't it Fang Du and the others, the two of them just talked but they didn't hide it from Luo Yan, and they just came back with revenge at this time.

As soon as the two of them heard that Luo Yan actually joked about them, they immediately laughed: "When others say this, we may have to talk about it." But you, Luo Yan's disciple, we will definitely discuss it with the auxiliary machine and send it to the coldest place. You can't just say a word for the benefit of one party. After saying that, he laughed like a child.

Luo Yan didn't back down: "I'm afraid, then don't be my Luo Yan's student." After Luo Yan said this, he actually caused the twenty-four Jinshi to nod in unison, which made Fang Du and the others deflated for a while.

Naturally, there were people on Liu Chang's side who toasted, but compared to the twenty-four on Luo Yan's side, there were only six of them in front of them.

In fact, this number is not low. How many old Confucians in the world give lectures, and how many scholars do scientific examinations, they can account for one-tenth of the fifty people, which is already a great strength. If it was a previous year, this must be the place where eyes meet. But today, everyone is most afraid of a comparison, because there is only one one who stands at the top. Now it is not them who are standing at the top, but Luo Yan.

If the relationship is average, it is just that, Liu Chang criticized Luo Yan in various ways two months before the scientific examination, and they were all aimed at him misleading people's children. But now, who is misleading people's children?

There are already countless assumptions among the people, like Song Shiyu, if they can stay under Luo Yan's seat, and the top three of this year's two lists are all taught by one person, wouldn't these old masters eat soil?

Liu Chang held the wine glass, and before the wine entered his throat, his face was already very burned. When the strongest Jiannan Burning Spring slipped into his mouthpiece, he suddenly felt that where was this wine, it was clearly the bitter water boiled by the coptis collected by the Taiyi Bureau.

There was no good banquet, and Liu Chang's heart once again resurfaced what his second son said when he stopped him before he came. (To be continued.) )
