Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 387 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 in his 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 them are many academy students following Shu'an, each of whom is wearing the same blue robe, and is 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 idea at first, but this time the idea came.

Undoubtedly, the uniform attire looks quite imposing, and 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.

On the contrary, Chang Sun Chong was a little surprised. You must know that this was the first time he saw this Highness without confidence.

You must know that among the Imperial College, His Highness has the best grades every time.

After thinking of this, Chang Sun Chong couldn't help but look at the fourth prince Li Tai who was on the other side of the stairs.

The fourth prince didn't wear any gorgeous clothes today, but a simple blue robe.

This could not help showing a trace of thought on Changsun Chong's face. It seemed that he hadn't seen this fourth prince for a while, and it seemed that even he couldn't recognize the change.

"coming!"

Just as the Guozijian students hadn't been waiting for a long time, a voice suddenly came out from the crowd who bought tickets, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Tread, step!"

The carriage stopped outside the Tai Chi Palace, Shu An's figure stepped out of the carriage, followed by the students who also stepped out of the carriage.

"His Majesty is here!"

And as if the timing was right, a voice like the throat of a male duck sounded.

Hearing this voice, he couldn't help being stunned, but soon everyone present except Shu An began to salute.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Respectful voices sounded one after another, and many people showed a hint of excitement on their faces.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shu An glanced at everyone present, it seemed that there were more people than he imagined.
