After the voice of the emperor was shouted, everyone in the square knelt down and bowed, and at the same time shouted: "Long live, long live, long live." ”

And among these people, there is an exception, that is Liu Hua, he has only seen similar scenes on TV before, and now let him kowtow and kneel, he is really a little uncomfortable, but seeing everyone kneeling, he can't stand there, so he simply squatted down, and then shouted long live with those people.

Liu Hua just squatted down for a while, and the shrill voice from before came over again: "There is a decree in the saint, and everyone is flat." ”

After hearing this voice, Liu Hua followed everyone to stand up again, and after getting up, he looked outside curiously, only to see an old man about fifty years old, full of majesty, slightly thin, wearing a dragon robe, and a kind expression, walking in front of everyone and walking towards the square, while Yuan Hai and others followed behind.

Looking at the old man walking in front, Liu Hua said in a knowing way, that must be Emperor Kangxi, this old man who has entered his twilight years, will write more legends in the next ten years.

When Liu Hua was looking at Kangxi, he was also looking at other people, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw Kangxi followed by a handsome young man wearing a court dress, wearing a crown, and a four-clawed cloud dragon embroidered on the chest of the court clothes, that person was none other than Kangxi's thirteenth son, Aixin Jueluo Yinxiang.

Seeing that Yinxiang had followed Kangxi here, Liu Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in his heart: "My task has finally been completed, it seems that I am suspicious, except for the stream, the prince's people have not entered Shilin Villa at all." ”

Kangxi led everyone to the steps, looking at the portrait of Sage Kong on the table, he picked up three long incense sticks from the incense burner, lit the incense with a fire fold, and gently inserted it into the incense burner.

"In this life, I only worship heaven and earth for the common people, not for other gods, this Confucian saint is the most holy teacher in the hearts of the world's scholars, I will give three incense sticks for the students present today to show respect."

Hearing that Kangxi attached so much importance to the spiritual beliefs of the students, the expressions of Yuan Hai and the others were all very excited, and after thanking Kangxi, everyone bowed three times to the portraits of the pilgrims with respectful expressions.

After the ceremony of bowing to the saint Kong, Yuan Hai asked Kangxi to sit in the middle, and then asked Yinxiang to sit next to Kangxi, after seeing Yuan Hai's arrangement, Kangxi smiled and waved his hand: "Today in front of so many famous people in the literary world, how can Yinxiang be qualified to sit down."

Senior brother, you sit on the left side of me, Mr. Bookworm sits on the right side of me, Mengchen and Yuanlong are the judges, the two of them can sit down, and the rest of the seats, please sit down with all the elders of Shilin Villa. ”

After Kangxi's words fell, Yuan Hai responded with a smile and "obey", and then began to arrange seats, and when the rest of the seats were full, he came to Kangxi's left side and smiled at the desk.

After everyone was seated, Yuan Hai said softly: "Honjo held a literary and opera conference, fortunately young talents from all over the world came here to show what they have learned, and I would like to express my gratitude to you for coming."

After the announcement was issued half a year ago, more than 14,000 young talents came to apply here, but as of yesterday evening, only 362 people had qualified for the competition.

Today's Wenqu Contest is divided into four games, the first is the preliminary round, eight people are selected from 362 people in the preliminary round to advance to the semi-finals, four people are selected from the eight people to enter the semi-finals, two people are selected from the four people in the semi-finals to enter the semi-finals, and the two people who pass the semi-finals will be the final round.

When the finals are over, the saint will personally reward the three winners, and the prizes for the top three winners have already been asked for by the saint, but just now the saint has made a temporary suggestion and personally gave a super reward.

As a result, the number of rewards has changed from three to four, and in order to motivate everyone's determination, after some consideration, it was decided to announce these four rewards in advance.

The first place winner of this Wenqu Contest can make a request to the Holy Saint at will, the second place winner is rewarded to serve in the Hanlin Academy, the third place winner is to enter the country to serve in the prison, and the fourth place is rewarded with an official position from the eighth rank. ”

After ......hearing these four rewards, all the students present gasped, these four rewards were really tempting, if they could get any of the four rewards, they could be called a step to the sky.

Especially the first reward, you can directly ask the emperor, this kind of thing is definitely something that can be encountered but not sought, and now this thing that they can't even think of has been encountered by them.

The eyes of Wu Yuyu, Li Pingyong and others were already a little red at the moment, and their breathing became very short, it seemed that they were all moved by these rewards, and they all wanted to stand out in this competition.

However, when these people coveted the reward, they were also frightened by the selection conditions of this preliminary competition, and more than 300 students actually chose only eight people, this elimination rate is too big, right?

When all the students had almost digested the previous words, Yuan Hai continued: "Everyone has understood the rules, and the rewards are all known, so I won't say much about it, now I respectfully ask the Holy Lord to announce the start of the game." ”

After hearing Yuan Hai's words, Kangxi looked around at the students under the steps, and then said loudly: "You have all experienced ten years of cold windows, all of you are full of vigor and fighting spirit, and you want to make a splash and get ahead."

Today, I give you this opportunity, as long as you can stand out, I will reward you with great weight, for what? Because I am thirsty for talent, as long as you can be of great use, I should cultivate myself well, so that one day you can benefit the people and benefit the country.

In this world, I will count on you young talents to help take care of it in the future, if I say that, I will say it here, the drum does not need to be beaten with a heavy hammer, everyone, use your skills, let me be surprised, the literary song competition, start now. ”

......After Kangxi announced the start of the competition, Huo Xuesi, the manager of Shilin Villa, walked in front of the students: "Everyone, please listen, the old man will now inform you of the topic of the preliminary competition, and please make a couplet in the time of half a cup of tea."

After you want to come up with the next couplet, you can raise your hand to read it, because the preliminary round is to brush down the number of people, so the owner has prepared ten couplets, if the number of people brushing down the first couplet is not enough, the old decay will announce the second couplet, and so on, until the brush is left with eight people.

Everyone, please listen, my upper couplet is: the full moon is missing, the moon is lacking, the moon is full and the moon is full, year after year, twilight and dawn, and the sun is seen at the end of the night. Now let's get started.
