Chapter 385: The Unconfident Li Chengqian
Three days passed in a flash. Li Shimin gained a lot in these three days, and sold a lot of tickets, and even sold additional tickets later.
Even Li Shimin called it a happy life with the people, which almost made Shu An laugh out loud. He didn't expect Li Shimin would come up with such an excuse.
"I just don't know what kind of scene it would be like to not get out of Taiwan in front of so many people."
Shu An raised a smile on the corner of her mouth and murmured softly, "Anyway, this is Li Shimin's own destruction, he just made a suggestion."
"Master, except for the fourth prince, all other students are ready."
Lai Fu's voice slowly rang out, with a hint of interest on his face, because today he could also enter the palace to see this competition.
You should know that although Lai Fu is the butler, he has also read a lot of books, so he is naturally interested in this competition.
Moreover, Lai Fu is more interested in his master's questions. He should know these questions even if he doesn't know them.
It was the master who wrote forty copies in his study, which is a rare thing.
"Then let's go."
Shu An said with a smile on his face, and I believe many people are looking forward to this competition.
Of course, he also has a lot of interest in the students of the Imperial College.
You know that even Shu An couldn't help but sigh that it was difficult for ordinary people to study.
The Imperial College recruits all famous families, so naturally these students are either rich or noble.
Even if Shu An considers asking Li Shimin to sell the quota for the Imperial College, it may not be necessary to have strong sponsorship from the Rich Chamber of Commerce.
Don’t underestimate the merchants’ ability to hide money. Even in this era, there are also wealthy people.
Unfortunately, it depends on whether Li Shimin has the courage or not. In other words, whether he lacks money or not.
Shu An is not in a hurry to do this matter, and the most important thing is this competition now.
.........
There were already several carriages waiting before the Shu Mansion gate. After Shu'an's figure appeared, he immediately stepped on the carriage.
Behind him were many academy students following Shu'an, each of whom was wearing the same green robe, with pen and ink.
At least it looks very neat, so this is Shu'an's idea. The school uniforms of later generations are still fresh in Shu'an's memory.
After coming to this era, Shu'an didn't have many ideas at the beginning, but this time the ideas came.
The uniform dress undoubtedly looks a lot more imposing. As for the ones that Li Tai had given in the palace, he had already sent him the night before.
"Tread!"
As the sound of horses tracing sounded, a line of carriages slowly marched into the palace.
There were many people gathering on the streets of Chang'an today. After seeing the carriage in Shu's mansion, many people were even more interested.
"This is the carriage from Shu Mansion."
"Mr. An Xuan is inside."
"There are also students in the academy who don't know how to learn."
"It's a pity that the tickets are too expensive this time, otherwise you would be able to enter the palace in person."
...........
A series of discussion sounded, and Chang'an had already started the gambling market.
This made this competition even more popular, but no one was sure which side would definitely win.
However, such unknowns have even argued throughout Chang'an. Some people are optimistic about His Majesty, and some people are optimistic about Duke An Xuan.
Tai Chi Palace
At the same time, there were many students standing in front of the palace, among which Li Chengqian led the students of the Imperial College in one side, arranged in sequence.
However, Shu'an had not arrived yet, and Li Shimin was still in the future. However, many people holding tickets had already arrived at the open space before the palace guards.
"Your Highness, do you know the questions to be tested this time?"
Above the steps, a boy in gorgeous clothes asked curiously on the face of Li Chengqian, on the first step.
This person is no one else, but Changsun Chong. Because of his relatives, he can be said to have a very good relationship with Li Chengqian.
Although Changsun Chong is usually a playboy and has an average reputation in Chang'an, he is honest and good at playing a bad character in front of Li Chengqian.
"I don't know either."
However, in the face of this problem, Li Chengqian shook his head, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
You should know that this time was a competition between his father and Grandpa An, and these students were considered unpredictable disaster.
"No matter what the question is, I believe that your highness will be the first this time."
Changsun Chong showed a hint of disappointment on his face, but he quickly recovered and said with a hint of compliment.
But this time, Li Chengqian shook his head. If it were his father's questions, he would still be quite sure.
But even Li Chengqian dared not say that he could answer Grandpa An’s question, so he naturally had no confidence.
"This time maybe the fourth brother has a better chance."
Even Li Chengqian had to admit that he had no shortcomings in Confucianism, and on the contrary, he had many advantages over him.
At this time, the relationship between the brothers was at least good, and there was no incompatible situation in history, so Li Chengqian did not have much jealousy.
Anyway, this time we compare the total score, not the score of a person alone, although a person can also be outstanding.
However, Changsun Chong was a little surprised. It was the first time he saw this highman without confidence.
You should know that in the Imperial College, His Highness has the best results every time.
After thinking of this, Changsun Chong couldn't help but look at the fourth prince Li Tai on the other stairs.
This fourth prince did not wear any gorgeous clothes today, but a simple blue robe.
This made Changsun Chong's face reveal a trace of thought. It seemed that he hadn't seen this fourth prince for a while, and it seemed that he could not recognize the change even if he could not recognize it.
"Here you come!"
Just as the Imperial College students were waiting for not long, a sound suddenly came from the crowd who bought tickets, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Tread, step!"
The carriage stopped outside the Tai Chi Palace, Shu An walked out of the carriage, and followed the students who also walked out of the carriage.
"Your Majesty is here!"
And as if time is counted correctly, a duck-like voice sounds.
Hearing this voice, the person was stunned, but soon everyone present except Shu An began to salute.
"See Your Majesty!"
"See Your Majesty!"
.........
Respectful voices sounded, and many people showed a look of excitement on their faces.
