Chapter 976: Already eager to try
Lord Tian glanced over and saw Shao Yunduan, his eyes were slightly cold and he sneered silently.
As long as the Tian family is around, he will never be able to make a name for himself. He has offended the Tian family and yet dares to attend this Qionglin Banquet. He is really bold!
Lord Tian had to admit that among all the Jinshi, Shao Yunduan was indeed very outstanding.
No wonder his always proud daughter also likes him.
It's a pity that he is too stupid and doesn't know the current situation, so there is no good result!
One day, he will regret it!
When the time was almost up, under the arrangement of the master of ceremonies from the Ministry of Rites who sang the ceremony aloud, a row of neatly dressed eunuchs led the Jinshi candidates to stand in the order of first, second and third class, followed by the court officials, and knelt down in unison to welcome the emperor.
Seeing the emperor's procession approaching from afar, all the Jinshi were excited. What an honor it was to see the emperor!
Emperor Xuan of Qi, accompanied by the Crown Prince, several princes and ministers of the palace, entered the imperial garden. He was very pleased to see the new scholars kneeling on the ground in unison.
The country recruits officials to inject fresh blood into the court so that the entire officialdom can be smoothly continued and passed on. Every new batch of officials is an extremely important event.
When the emperor took his seat, the eunuchs shouted loudly, and all the scholars and court officials kowtowed to him in unison. The shouts of "Long live the emperor!" were like a tsunami, resounding like the clouds.
Emperor Xuan of Qi was delighted, laughed loudly, ordered everyone to stand up, praised him highly, and encouraged the scholars to serve the country, share the worries of the court, and strive for the people of Qin to live and work in peace and contentment in the future! The scholars who had just stepped into the officialdom knelt down and kowtowed again, responded loudly, and cheered in unison.
Everyone was so excited that their faces flushed, their eyes sparkled, their chests were filled with excitement, and their surging momentum almost rushed to the sky. They wished they could immediately become a good official who worked hard for the country and the people and devoted himself to repay the emperor for his kindness!
Emperor Xuan of Qi was even more delighted. He ordered everyone to sit down and had the palace servants serve wine and delicious food so that everyone could have a happy gathering.
On such occasions, poetry was inevitable, which could not only shorten the distance between court officials and Jinshi and allow everyone to get to know each other as quickly as possible, but also give the new Jinshi a chance to display their talents.
All the Jinshi candidates were eager to try, very excited.
This is a regular feature of every Qionglin Banquet, and it is also the most lively, attractive and eye-catching program. Everyone starts preparing for it after the announcement of the examination results, and everyone is confident.
There are even more ambitious people who are eager to overwhelm everyone with their talents and come out on top.
This was the first time he appeared before the emperor, and it was a great start.
If you can please the emperor, he only needs to say "good!", then why worry about the officials not looking at you differently? Why worry about not having a good future!
After three rounds of drinks, the topic turned to poetry and songs. At the suggestion of the Crown Prince, princes and close ministers, Emperor Xuan of Qi smiled and made up a topic, and ordered the scholars to show their talents.
Everyone immediately put down their cups and chopsticks, stopped talking and laughing, and began to calculate silently in their minds, trying to come up with good words and phrases to make a splash.
Emperor Xuan of Qi was a man who was quite tolerant and kind to newcomers as long as there was no conflict of interest.
For example, he was very sympathetic towards his new scholars, fearing that some of them could only write articles but were not good at poetry, so he only asked them to write a poem to express their feelings, without being bound by any form.
