The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 413 Awards Ceremony ([-])

As soon as the gong started on the stage, the palace people responsible for the light on the shelves on both sides drew the curtains of some skylights on the roof, leaving only a few skylights that could illuminate the podium, making the podium very bright all of a sudden.

The entire lecture theater is built using the principle of acoustics. Even if there is no plug-in telephone microphone and amplification equipment, as long as the audience is quiet and the people on the stage are not whispering, the voices of the people on the stage can be heard clearly by the audience.

"Respected adults, ladies and gentlemen, in this season of cool autumn wind and fragrant golden osmanthus, we welcome the first national mathematics competition!"

The host's voice is very loud, and this is the beginning.

Because the opening speech was written by Song Qingyue, the audience in the audience thought it was interesting, but Song Qingyue held back her laughter. This nondescript feeling was really funny.

Li Zhao noticed that Song Qingyue was holding back her laughter, and the hand that was always around her waist squeezed her soft flesh maliciously, almost calling Song Qingyue out.

"Why?" Song Qingyue glared at him.

"Laughing again! What are you laughing at?" Li Zhao leaned close to Song Qingyue's ear and asked her in a low voice, gritted his teeth.From time to time, the lady always had fun alone for no apparent reason. The two had been married for more than four years, and Li Zhao still didn't understand what she was having fun with, and what was so ridiculous about it.

This made Li Zhao very depressed - he still couldn't figure out what the lady was thinking from time to time.

Song Qingyue just hummed, rolled her eyes and ignored him.

Li Zhao had no choice but to turn his head and concentrate on listening to the master of ceremonies on the stage.After a few opening remarks, the master of ceremonies suddenly cue to Li Zhao, saying that His Royal Highness Prince Jin was invited to the stage to give a speech.

Li Zhao turned to look at Song Qingyue. The procedure of the awards ceremony was completely determined by her. Why didn't she tell her in advance that he was going to speak on stage!Song Qingyue raised her eyebrows at him, only smiled and applauded him.

"You!" Li Zhao stretched out his hand and squeezed her cheek hard, flung up the hem of her clothes suavely, and walked onto the stage with long legs.

In the crowd at the back of the auditorium, there was a luxuriously dressed Gu Nian wearing a veil who was huddled in the crowd under the guard of two maids, desperately standing on tiptoe and looking towards the podium.

There are very few chances to meet His Majesty. Hearing that he is going to come to the awards ceremony of some kind of mathematics competition today, Zhuang Qionghui immediately decided to get involved, but he did not expect that there will be so many people in this awards ceremony, so messy, and even There are so many unworthy people!
Miss Zhuang was squeezed by a group of ordinary people in common clothes, her brows were twisted into knots, and she looked down on the slender figure beside Li Zhao more and more—His Highness was dragged into the quagmire by that concubine!To mix with so many common people and laugh so happily!Simply incomprehensible!She was born as a concubine, so she really can't be on the stage!
Song Qingyue naturally didn't know that there would be a lady in the dark crowd behind who would think of herself like this. She sat in the padded seat in the first row, and concentrated on watching the man on the stage with a detached temperament and eloquent conversation. Can't look away.

"When I was young, my father always asked me to read everything, and even specially hired an old accountant to ask me to learn arithmetic. At that time, I was puzzled, so I asked my father why I, as the son of the prince, still had to learn The mundane things learned by the people in the market. My father told me at that time that there is no distinction between high and low in all learning. If learning can only be kept in a high cabinet, even if the high and low cannot be used by all people, how can it become elegant? It can be called useful. Mathematics is a practical science, so it can be used by all peoples. Since learning does not distinguish between high and low, then scholars should not be divided into high and low, and should not even be divided into men and women. Therefore, the father deliberately It is ordered that the selection of talents for the imperial court is based on mathematics competitions, and it is extremely eclectic, regardless of household registration, male or female..."

"Your Highness is well said!" Song Qingyue clasped her hands together and shouted loudly from the audience.

The clear and soft female voice made the audience suddenly silent, this is Your Highness!It's not like an actor standing on the stage, shouldn't it be very serious?Is it okay to applaud in the audience at this time?

The atmosphere suddenly seemed a bit awkward, Lin Wanfu was very clever, touched Ji Quanfu's arm with his arm, and shouted: "That's right! Your Highness said it well!"

Momei Molan also applauded.Yu Weiliang's eyes fell on Song Qingyue's slightly thin shoulders, he suddenly laughed, and shouted: "Your Highness is well said! Learning should not be distinguished, and scholars should not be classified into noble or inferior, male or female!"

The neighbors in Scissors Alley were all excited. They knew how approachable His Royal Highness and Princess Wang were.You must know that His Royal Highness and the princess have taken a bath in the bathhouse in the alley!This followed by cheers.

As a result, the venue suddenly became lively.The applause came one after another, like a theater building.

Li Zhao was a little speechless, but looking down at Song Qingyue's smiling face, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter.It's good to be noisy and noisy.

In such a relaxed and noisy atmosphere, Song Qingyue suddenly thought, if the words "freedom and openness" were written as the school motto, I wonder if it would be acceptable.

The rusty official script metal characters on the teaching building in the previous life were so inconspicuously pasted on the wall that even the headmaster said it made people feel impatient and dismissive. I feel so rare!

After Li Zhao finished speaking, the host gave Yan Jiuyuan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, the opportunity to speak.

The old man was almost at a loss, but he was very happy to be able to come to this awards ceremony this time.Ever since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has had no sense of existence, and Song Jianming has taken the limelight away. When making decisions, the emperor will basically adopt the strategies offered by Song Jianming. Even when he asks for suggestions, he basically does not ask what he means. The Shoufu was only used by the emperor as a decoration, symbolizing the emperor's courtesy and respect for the old ministers of the previous dynasty.

How can those people in the court fail to see this kind of thing?
Less than a year after the emperor ascended the throne, the status of the Yan Mansion in the capital had plummeted. In the Zhili area, some small farmers even dared to sue his family for occupying their farmland.That little man dared to sue, and the local county government dared to take care of it!Not only did he take care of it, but he also led Jin Yiwei to go to Qingzhang. If you don't check, you won't know. If you don't check, you won't know. Yan's Zhuangzi has hidden more than 300 hectares of land!

That's all, after that, Ning Yuan's bastard went to Jiangyin, the ancestral home of Yan's family, to clear all the land of his relatives and slaves. Six hundred hectares, that is a full 200 mu!

Yan Shoufu was so frightened that he went to the palace overnight to plead guilty. The emperor was not angry, and only let him continue to be his first assistant at ease, but the next day he ordered to confiscate all the hidden land, and asked the Yan family to make up for it within two years. 20 years of grain tax as punishment.

A large number of members of the Yan family came to the capital to ask Yan Shoufu to think of a way, to plead for mercy, and the patriarchs who are now in their [-]s have come all the way from thousands of miles away.

Yan Jiuyuan was speechless!This matter can't be helped, if he dares to speak for the tribe, the emperor can find evidence from his house that is enough for him to destroy the three tribes.He had done too many wrong things in the past, and the emperor knew it already. Even if the evidence had been wiped clean, Yan Jiuyuan believed that with the emperor's temperament, he could recreate the destroyed evidence and put it in his home.

But looking at the expectant eyes of the clansmen, how could Yan Shoufu, who has been aloof for decades, show his face to tell them that he is just a display now?
Now regarding the award ceremony of the mathematics competition, the emperor asked him to speak a few words regardless of past suspicions. Yan Shoufu was only full of emotion and peace in his heart!

But what the old man said was a bit profound, and many of the audience below couldn't quite understand it. Song Qingyue also asked Li Zhao in a low voice while listening, what the old chief assistant meant.Seeing her bewildered face, her cheeks dripping with water and tenderness, Li Zhao suddenly swallowed and wanted to kiss her.

"Why are you looking at me? What's the meaning of the phrase 'Only learning is inferior to ambition, but when you are sensitive, you are here to cultivate'?" Song Qingyue stared at her moist apricot eyes.

Li Zhao looked at the movement, and unexpectedly recalled the scene of the upside-down scene last night in his mind. He cleared his throat, leaned into her ear and whispered: "From "Shangshu-Shuo Ming", which means..."

After listening to him, Song Qingyue groaned, pursed her lips and said sullenly: "You really know a lot."

Li Zhao smiled: "Didn't you listen to Mr. Song talking about the Four Books and Five Classics when you were a child?"

Song Qingyue said with a guilty conscience: "I have heard it, but I forget it after hearing it. How can I remember so much."

Li Zhao stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and interlocked her fingers along the fingers: "If you want to learn, I will teach you for my husband."

The scorching breath sprayed on Song Qingyue's fair ears, and Song Qingyue suddenly remembered last night inappropriately... her face suddenly turned red.Like a roundworm in her stomach, Li Zhao leaned into her ear again and asked, "What did Yue'er think of?"

Song Qingyue kicked him directly on the calf angrily: "I haven't asked you how to use traditional Chinese medicine yet! Just wait, Li Dalang!"

Gee!
Li Zhao regretted it, what kind of hole he dug for himself!

No one could see the two of you in a place where the sun could not reach, but Zhuang Qionghui, who was standing at the back, kept staring at the man's broad and thick back, but saw that his body had never straightened up. He kept leaning on Song San's side all the time, whispering to her in a whisper, and even said that Song San was shy, and even raised his fist and hit him!
Zhuang Qionghui watched so much that tears almost fell out of her eyes!
But how could the two people in front be aware of it?

Elder Yan’s speech was “too profound” and the response was flat. Only a few officials or famous scholars gave very warm applause, but compared with the previous one, the applause sounded too sparse up.When Li Zhao gave a speech, he still felt noisy and undignified, but when the old chief assistant Yan stepped down, he suddenly felt a deep sense of loss.You must know that he spent three days and three nights carefully pondering over this manuscript!
It's not as popular as His Majesty's vernacular!

This matter, it has to be blamed, this time the audience level is really not high!They are all worthless people, hum!
The leader's speech is over, and finally it's the most exciting moment of awarding!

The host walked onto the stage excitedly holding the sealed list of winners.

The awards began with the third prize, which was jointly presented by Master Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Master Wu, Minister of the Ministry of Housing.

The winners will not only get a silk award certificate with two of the emperor's personal seals stamped on it, a bouquet of flowers, but also a round bronze medal specially made by the Ministry of Rites, hanging around their necks.

Some of the people who came to the stage to accept the award were excited, while others were disappointed.The lost ones are like Mr. Qi Shibin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.Recently, the emperor saw him less and less often, but saw his two younger servants and even the doctor more often, and he gradually felt the emperor's alienation from him.So Mr. Qi, who was full of worries about his official career, began to bury his head at home and really study the mathematics books marked by His Majesty, and secretly came to participate in the competition without telling everyone, hoping to win the first prize in one fell swoop and surprise everyone!

Whoever imagined it, only won the third prize!
Is it possible that someone can solve the difficult problems at the back of the test paper?

After that, there were some familiar faces in Chaozhong.

The elders looked at each other, pretended to be thick-skinned, congratulated each other, and flattered each other. Everyone seemed to be happy, but in fact they were bitter in their hearts!I didn't know I would lose this person!Even at a young age, they are still in high positions!

It's really lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot.

Li Zhao observed all the officials with great interest in the audience, not only the Beijing officials, but also several local officials, all of whom had handed over their papers to Beijing early, begging the emperor to allow them to come to the competition.

What a chance to be remembered!

No, Li Zhao memorized the names of these highly motivated local officials, and planned to go back to the officials from the Ministry of Officials to retrieve their files and take a good look. If there was a chance, he even wanted to find them Had a meal with them and chatted.

In the era of great changes, those in power like this kind of people with active thinking.

The guests presenting the second prize were His Royal Highness Li Zhao and his concubine Song Qingyue.

Together with Li Zhao, she is responsible for presenting awards to 48 second prize winners.

What a surprise!
The number one beauty of the Great Zhou was held by His Royal Highness so generously on the stage!

The guests presenting the awards are all big shots, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary officials are rarely seen.After walking out of this lecture theater, you can talk about what the eldest prince looks like, and whether the legendary No. [-] beauty of the Great Zhou Dynasty is like a fairy. This is definitely worth talking about!

In front of so many people, Song Qingyue did not cover herself in any way, and Li Zhao did not force Song Qingyue to wear a veil this time either.On weekdays in the Academy of Sciences, he was able to attend classes in front of so many male students, so how could it be impossible to present an award on stage?
Song Qingyue looked at Li Zhao with a smile, and Li Zhao pinched her cheek helplessly. He became more and more aware of what she wanted and needed.
