Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

"Master, even though there are a thousand places in Chang'an, it's still hard to get a ticket."

Shu Kuanghu said with a hint of surprise on his face, even he didn't expect it to be so popular.

"On the one hand, it's because of the court, and on the other hand, it's because of this competition."

"Although it costs two hundred coins, even a slightly richer commoner can afford it."

Shu An did not have too many strange voices, just as there is a gap between the rich and the poor, this era is no exception.

All in all, Li Shimin should be able to make a lot of money this time, as long as Li Shimin is smart enough.

As for the impeachment of Li Shimin, there should not be many talents, probably only Wei Zheng and others.

But there are too many impeachments, and the emperor is probably used to it, so naturally he doesn't care.

As for why he gave Li Shimin this proposal on a whim, after all, why not do it if he can earn money in an open and honest manner.

Even if someone impeaches them, they can find many reasons. After all, whether they are students from the Imperial College or the Academy, these students are the future of Datang.

Of course, Shu An didn't say anything about the reason, it was up to Li Shimin's own imagination, it's best if he can think of it, and it's fine if he can't.

Anyway, it's Li Shimin's business, it depends on whether Li Shimin wants to earn this money.

"Master, except for the fourth prince, everyone else has arrived."

Just when Shu An was sighing, Wu Shun's immature voice rang in his ears.

Shu An woke up in an instant, he almost forgot that he had to explain these things to the students.

......

Shu Mansion is not a place you can come to casually, even if many of the students in the academy have not set foot in this place.

The only one who has ever been here is Ma Zhou, and it is also Ma Zhou who is leading these students at this time.

You must know that for this competition, Ma Zhou is very confident on his face, and he even thinks that this is an opportunity won by the dean for him.

Compared with the students of the Guozijian, Ma Zhou was somewhat invincible, but this time he was trying to win glory for the academy.

Anyway, he was just a nobody before, so Ma Zhou naturally didn't care.

"I've seen the dean!"

"I've seen the dean!"

......

When Shu An's figure appeared in the lobby, respectful voices sounded.

After all, as a student, I dare not be disrespectful in the face of Shu An's words.

"You don't need to be too polite, just sit down first."

Shu An said with a hint of gentleness on his face, now that he is not in the academy, he is not that serious either.

At least Shu An is still willing to talk gently with these students, but even though he looks gentle, he still has a lot of power.

The students don't dare to show the slightest disrespect on their faces. Of course, this is also one of the characteristics of this era.

The Shu Mansion was originally the place where tables and chairs were born, so there are still a lot of chairs, even though there are nearly 20 students, they can still sit down.

It seems that Laifu has slightly remodeled the lobby in order to allow students to drink tea. Several people form a circle with a small table in the middle.

It felt a bit like a tea house, but Shu An didn't care, since the lobby was not used much anyway.

"This time I let you come, you should know what it is."

Shu An's plain words sounded slowly, this time he mainly wanted to teach these students some rules.

After all, he is also a student of the academy, if he loses his etiquette in the court, he will also be looked down upon.

Of course, he mainly talked about it, and the rest will be handed over to Laifu and the others. It's a very simple matter anyway.

Whether it was Ma Zhou or Du He and other second-generation nobles, they all remembered every word of Shu An respectfully.

"It's good to treat it with a normal heart, and there is no problem if you lose to the Imperial College."

"After all, they are the elite students of the Imperial College, and we are just an academy."

"There is a natural gap, and you won't lose anything if you lose. If you win, this majesty will not be able to come to Taiwan."

........

Shu An's faint words resounded, although he was full of confidence in his heart, he didn't put much pressure on these students.

However, after the voice fell, there was a hint of indignation on the faces of these students.

An hour passed unknowingly during the conversation. Most of the time, Shu An was talking, and occasionally some students raised their own questions.

In the end, Shu An gave his own answer, and then Shu An didn't keep these students, but asked them to gather at the Shu Mansion three days later.

"Laifu, what do you think of these students?"

Shu An looked at the leaving figures of these students and said softly, there seemed to be a lot of expectation in the words.

"Master, these students should have inherited your academic attitude, and it will be a matter of time before they become dragons and phoenixes among the people."

Laifu spoke out without any hesitation, because he had been following him for so long, he naturally knew some tricks of judging people.

And he didn't forget what his master said, no matter how high a person's talent is, it is a person's attitude and character that determine a person's achievement.

This is what the academy wants to teach these students. Unlike ordinary people, at least half of these students have no shortage of books to read.

That is to say, even if there is no academy, they can study. Shu An taught them more about their attitude and character.

"maybe."

Facing Lai Fu's words, Shu An showed a mysterious smile on his face.

On the contrary, these students are more like his disciples, but his former disciples are basically more about their status.

Shu An didn't teach those former disciples how to behave, because his purpose was not pure at first.

In addition, that chaotic era did not allow him to do that. Although these students do not have the name of masters and apprentices, Shu An has high expectations for them.

Not only Shu An was making preparations, but Li Shimin in the court was also making preparations.

It was even rumored that Li Shimin met the twenty students of the Imperial College, which made many people in Chang'an show a little interest on their faces.

"Li Chengqian, Chang Sun Chong, Gao Xing..."

Naturally, the list of students in the palace who participated in the competition this time also came out.

As for the academy, there is nothing to pay attention to, because there are only twenty students in the academy.

Originally there were 21 people, because one of them joined the army, now it happens to be 20 people.

It only takes a little research to find out.

Chapter 385 The Unconfident Li Chengqian

Three days passed in a flash, and Li Shimin gained a lot during these three days. He sold many tickets, and even sold more tickets later.

Li Shimin even euphemistically called having fun with the people, which almost made Shu An laugh out loud. He never thought that Li Shimin would come up with such an excuse.

"I just don't know what it's like to be unable to step down in front of so many people."

The corner of Shu An's mouth curled up into a smile and whispered softly, anyway, this is Li Shimin's own doing, he just made a suggestion.

"Master, except for the fourth prince, the other students are all ready."

Laifu's voice sounded slowly, with a hint of interest on his face, because today he can also enter the palace to see this competition.

You must know that although Laifu is the housekeeper, he has also read a lot of books, so he is naturally interested in this competition.

Moreover, what Laifu is more interested in is his master's topic, and he must know that even he doesn't know about these topics.

All the master wrote forty copies himself in the study, which is a rare thing.

"Then let's go."

Shu An revealed a smile on his face and said, I believe many people are looking forward to this competition.

Among them, of course, was him. He also had a lot of interest in those Guozijian students.

You must know that after getting this list, even Shu An can't help but sigh with emotion. It is not so difficult for ordinary people to study.

The Guozijian recruits all famous and noble people, and naturally these students are either rich or expensive.

Even whether Shu An is considering letting Li Shimin sell the quota of the Imperial College, maybe there will be a rich merchant association to sponsor it.

Don't underestimate the ability of businessmen to hide money, even in this era, there are still huge riches.

It's a pity that it depends on whether Li Shimin has courage, in other words, whether he is short of money.

Shu An is not in a hurry about this matter, the most important thing now is this competition.

.......

There were already several carriages waiting before the gate of Shu's mansion, and after Shu An's figure appeared, he immediately stepped into the carriage.

Behind him were many academy students following Shu'an, each of whom was wearing the same blue robe, and all of them were carrying pens and inks and other things.

At least it looks very tidy, this is naturally Shu An's idea, and the school uniforms of later generations are still fresh in Shu An's memory.

After coming to this era, Shu An didn't have much thought at first, but this time the thought came.

Undoubtedly, the uniform attire looks quite imposing. As for Li Tai's comfort in the palace, he had already been given away the night before.

"Tap!"

With the sound of horses stepping, a line of carriages slowly moved towards the palace.

On the streets of Chang'an, many people gathered today. After seeing the carriage of Shu Mansion, many people showed a hint of interest on their faces.

"This is Shu's carriage."

"Duke An Xuan is inside."

"There are also academy students who don't know how to learn."

"It's a pity that the tickets are too expensive this time, otherwise I can enter the palace in person."

........

One after another voices of discussion sounded, among which Chang'an had already opened the betting market.

It made this competition heated up even more, but no one was sure which side would definitely win.

However, this kind of unknown made the entire Chang'an debate. Some people are optimistic about His Majesty, while others are optimistic about Duke Anxuan.

Tai Chi Palace

At the same time, there were many students standing in front of the palace, among them, Li Chengqian led the students of Guozijian to line up on the side of the steps.

But at this time Shu'an hadn't arrived yet, and Li Shimin was still in the future, but there were quite a few ticket holders who had already arrived at the open space in front of the palace under the leadership of the palace guards.

"Your Highness, do you know the subject of this competition?"

On the steps, Li Chengqian asked curiously on the face of a young man in gorgeous clothes on the first step.

This person is none other than Changsun Chong. Because of his relationship with Li Chengqian, it can be said that he has a very good relationship with Li Chengqian.

Although Changsun Chong is usually a bit of a dandy, and his reputation in Chang'an is also average, but in front of Li Chengqian, he is an honest dog's leg.

"My Highness doesn't know either."

However, facing this question, Li Chengqian shook his head, showing a hint of helplessness on his face.

You must know that this time is a competition between your father and Grandpa An, and these students are considered a disaster for no reason.

"No matter what the topic is, I believe His Highness will come out on top this time."

A trace of disappointment appeared on Changsun Chong's face, but he quickly recovered and said with a trace of compliment.

It's just that this time Li Chengqian shook his head. If it was his father's question, he still had a lot of confidence.

But even Li Chengqian didn't dare to say that he could answer Grandpa An's question, so naturally he didn't have confidence.

"This time, maybe the fourth brother has a better chance."

Even Li Chengqian had to admit that, after all, Li Tai has no shortcomings in Confucianism, on the contrary, he has many advantages over him.

At this time, the relationship between the brothers is at least not bad, and there is no historical incompatibility, so Li Chengqian doesn't feel too much jealousy.

Anyway, this time the comparison is about the total score, not just one person's score, although one person can also excel.
