There was silence in the hall.
These new scholars were all deeply involved, recalling what Li Qingxuan had just said, with light shining in their eyes.
Li Qingxuan glanced at everyone present and said proudly: "Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness. I hope that one day, I can be proud of you."
At this moment, all the Jinshi in the field stood up.
In their eyes, Li Qingxuan was shining with brilliance.
These impassioned words touched everyone's heart and made their blood boil.
Lu Yuan straightened his clothes again, cupped his hands and said, "Students understand. Your Highness's words will definitely be remembered by students."
The next moment, everyone in the lobby saluted Li Qingxuan.
They were all moved and said loudly: "We will remember this in our hearts."
That scene made people's blood boil.
Li Qingxuan couldn't help but be stunned. He said this on a whim today, and he didn't expect to have such an effect.
These people will be the mainstay of Daxia in the future.
"You are all my students. No matter you are from a noble family or a poor family, no matter what your family has done, as long as you behave and sit upright after today, I will treat you equally."
After saying that, Li Qingxuan stood up directly, picked up the wine and drank it down, then turned and left.
Until Li Qingxuan walked away, there was a burst of discussion in the hall.
Many people who originally planned to join the Yang family, the Dong family, or other scholar taxis after entering the court suddenly changed their minds.
They are proud to be King You's students.
At the same time, the news about what happened in the main hall spread throughout the capital as the banquet dispersed.
"My husband's words were shocking and powerful."
Upstairs in the Star Observation Tower, Huazhi listened to the report from his subordinates, his eyes filled with little stars.
In the Imperial Prefect's Mansion.
Yang Xuanji was drinking with Xue Gang.
"This time King You serves as the examiner of the imperial examination. He already has a teacher-student relationship with these taxis. Now His Majesty has asked him to entertain everyone on behalf of the royal family. Presumably, those twenty-odd people from poor families were all recruited by King You."
"It's a good thing that King You is so powerful." Xue Gang laughed.
At this moment, a servant suddenly walked in hurriedly.
"Sir, the banquet in the palace has ended. Many scholars came out very excited."
"Excited?"
Yang Xuanji and Xue Gang looked at each other, both showing some confusion.
"Why are you excited?" Yang Xuanji asked?
"The old slave heard about it because of what King You said."
"What did King You say?"
Now the two of them were even more curious.
"King You said that scholars should set their minds for the heaven and the earth, establish their lives for the people, inherit their unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations."
When the servant said this, his expression could not help but be a little excited.
On the other side, Yang Xuanji and Xue Gang were also stunned on the spot.
They were completely shocked by the courage, character, and ambition contained in this sentence, as if the blood in their chests was ignited.
"This this..."
Yang Xuanji said the word "this" twice in a row, and then laughed.
"King You also said: Worry first when the world is worried, then rejoice when the world is happy."
As the words fell, the room fell into silence.
After a long time, Yang Xuanji sighed.
"It seems that King You is really suitable to be the examiner this time."
…
Yuan Guang called his student Ning Yuan into the palace. Now sixty-one new scholars have been born, and they will all pour into the court one after another.
The loss of power of Yang and Dong's family is already unstoppable. As his student, Ning Yuan must occupy an important position in this change.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside.
Several Qingliu officials walked in quickly.
It even included Mei Changgong, the imperial censor.
"Several adults, let the young one in first and let me know."
The slaves outside were anxiously following him, and they rushed in before he could inform him. This was too impolite.
But Mei Changgong and others ignored him completely, and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Prime Minister Yuan, do you know what King You said today?"
…
After the literary test is the martial arts test, which involves horseback riding and archery.
On the second day, the martial arts test officially began.
Compared with the literary test, the martial arts test is actually not that important.
After all, the aristocratic families control more of the court, while the army used to be controlled by King Lin Nuo of Zhenbei.
After the fall of King Zhenbei, Li Qingxuan has gained power.
Moreover, Daxia was adept at martial arts, and warriors emerged in endlessly, not as rare as civil servants.
With the sound of the three-tone drum, the martial arts test officially begins.
On the high platform, Li Qingxuan sat in the main seat, surrounded by the civil and military officials of the dynasty.
The martial arts test is divided into two categories, boxing and kicking kung fu and archery.
Two people form a team, and whoever wins will advance to the next game, and the loser will be eliminated directly.
Suddenly, the atmosphere on the entire campus was lively.
Many generals from the army also came to watch the battle, including Long Qingfeng, Ji Ting and others, who were also watching with great interest.
Li Qingxuan also thought it was wonderful.
There are many fifth- and sixth-grade warriors appearing, but there are only a few seventh-grade warriors, and even eighth-grade warriors are even scarcer.
"Master Zhou, Mr. Ling has won five games in a row. As expected, a tiger father has no dog son."
A minister next to him said to Zhou Yi, the Minister of Rites.
Zhou Yi suddenly showed a look of pride on his face.
I saw a young man in the field standing with his hands behind his back, looking very majestic. Almost no one who came up to challenge him could pass the three moves.
Li Qingxuan also noticed the existence of the young man.
He never expected that the son of Zhou Yi, an old fox jumping up and down, would actually be a martial arts master.
His own strength has reached the eighth level, which is very extraordinary.
Looking around the audience, there are very few people who can compete with him.
"Your Highness, Mr. Zhou's son Zhou Tong is very famous in the capital."
"He has been very strong since he was a child. When he was thirteen years old, he once tamed the wild horse king with his bare hands. He was praised by the late emperor as a little warrior god."
"Little Valkyrie?"
Li Qingxuan remembered this name.
"My son is actually nothing special. He is just naturally stronger than others."
Zhou Yi said deliberately modestly.
But everyone could tell that his tail was about to rise to the sky.
All the ministers around nodded.
Zhou Tong is indeed very powerful.
Li Qingxuan remained calm.
If Zhou Tong is really capable this time, it won't matter if he is chosen as the number one scholar in martial arts.
Li Qingxuan is not so narrow-minded.
Two hours later, sure enough, Zhou Tong defeated the others and entered the top ten.
And the top three will be selected from these ten people.
The enemy of Zhou Tong was a warrior named Wudang.
As soon as I heard this name, I thought it was very powerful, but against Zhou Tong, he only lasted ten moves and was defeated.
The eighth-grade Zhou Tongzao is a pure martial artist, but the key is that he still has an evil spirit about him.
Clearly experienced in the military.
The other people are no match at all.
In the end, Zhou Tong's skills surpassed the others and entered the top three.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhou Tong should be the top pick.
But although Zhou Tong's fists and feet were strong, his bow and arrows were much inferior to those of the other two, which created some suspense.
The examiner, Li Qingxuan, must decide who will be the top pick.
At this moment, Zhou Yi's heart suddenly lifted.
He usually offends King You a lot. King You will not avenge himself publicly.
Below Zhou Tong also clenched his fists with a nervous look on his face.
