Although the immortal's attention is indeed very tempting.

However, the vast majority of people actually do not have the confidence that they can stand out.

In the whole Chang'an, only those who are considered "talented" by the fairy are eligible to be selected.

Even being selected is already extremely rare, let alone standing out from these contemporary talents and gaining recognition from the immortals.

Therefore, in this case, the emperor's decree became a benefit that quite a few people really desired.

Especially for some poor gentry or disciples from wealthy families.

As long as one can obtain the status of "talent", it is equivalent to directly entering the officialdom and becoming a "scholar".

This is a leap of identity, and even more so a leap of class! All at once.

The whole Chang'an became lively again.

Countless students, whether they are confident in themselves or not, are trying their best to improve themselves. Although there are only a few days, many people still cram at the last minute.

Even those hidden sects also dug out the various knowledge of their own doctrines and conducted systematic discussions and analyses.

Even when walking on the street, you can faintly hear students reading and discussing.

The academic atmosphere is stronger than ever before.

It was in this atmosphere that the five-day appointment passed in a flash.

Throughout Chang'an, all the students wore their best clothes, gathered in groups of three or four, and waited with excitement.

Although it hadn't started yet, a heated discussion had already broken out between them.

“I don’t know when it started.”

"Brother Qingyi must be one of them, so there is no need to worry."

"That's too much. Who can know how many talented people the fairy is talking about? If there are only a dozen or so, we are far behind them."

"Yes, but if there are hundreds of people, I should be one of them."

"hehe."

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing at you for being so confident even though you only memorized a few Confucian books."

"you!"

“.”

In some places, conflicts have even occurred between students.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

It is normal for students to compete with each other, but this time, with the fairy selection, it is as if there is suddenly a real standard. Those who are selected can be known as talents even if they are looked down upon by others, and those who are not selected are just mediocre, even if they are boasted to be so.

This is the time when a person's knowledge and status are truly tested.

It was at this time.

Changes come suddenly.

It was a soft golden light that came directly from the fairy palace in the sky, roaring in like a wave. Before anyone noticed, it passed through people's bodies and covered the entire Chang'an.

Look around.

Everything is sparkling with golden light and surging with rainbow light, which is magnificent.

When have people ever seen such a scene?

For a moment, countless people knelt on the ground in excitement.

The same is true even in the imperial palace.

Li Shimin was actually equally nervous.

Although Chang'an was a gathering of talented people, if he, the emperor, did not have a vacancy, he would be laughed at by the world.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

In Dingxiang's eyes, Li Shimin still has some talent. This does not necessarily depend on his knowledge, but on his vision. Sitting on the throne of emperor, he can always see some things that are not easy for others to see.

Then, his body was wrapped in golden light and he slowly flew up.

This feeling of soaring into the air was initially frightening, then intoxicating, and there was an indescribable excitement.

Even under the power of an immortal, it is still flying!

My body seemed to have lost gravity and floated up.

Everything is at your feet.

It's not just Li Shimin.

As he flew up little by little, he found that there were hundreds of people like him in Chang'an.

Among these people, there are old people, young people, middle-aged people, and even women.

They were both excited and nervous.

Regardless, the others who did not fly could only look at them with envy.

Some people simply find it difficult to accept.

"He's just a craftsman, how could he be chosen by the fairy?"

"Why? I have read hundreds of books! Why am I not as good as a merchant?"

"From what he's wearing, he's just a country bumpkin!"

"Why on earth is this happening? Why?"

“.”

There are more than one or two people who are indignant.

However, no matter how unwilling they were, or even if they felt resentful and confused, they did not dare to question it loudly.

The one who made the choice was the immortal!

The immortal needs no explanation at all.

The immortal said these are talented people, so they are talented people!

And the talents selected by Dingxiang are indeed talented.

This is based on big data analysis.

Not only knowledge, but also ability and talent.

For example, a blacksmith, although he can hardly read, has a very high talent in materials, and has even figured out a lot of experience and knowledge that is ahead of his time. However, it does not have a specific effect in application, so he seems ordinary, but Ding Xiang can dig out his talent.

but--

"Most of these people cannot participate in today's discussion." Shen Yi took a few glances. Although he was the one who took action, the candidates were decided by Ding Xiang.

"It doesn't matter. They just need to listen." Ding Xiang said, "I am using the name of the immortal to break the discrimination against the scientific field held by people of this era."

"It is indeed necessary." Shen Yi said with a smile.

In this era, thinkers have the highest status, while people in the scientific field have a lower status.

Not to mention craftsmen and blacksmiths.

Even doctors did not have a very high status, at least far lower than those scholars.

But after today, this situation will inevitably change.

——Among the talents recognized by the fairy, the number of scholars is less than one-third.

now.

All these people gathered in the Immortal Palace. Some of them even knelt on the ground trembling with fear as soon as they arrived.

They were just the lower class people of this era, and some were even servants of rich and powerful families, but now they had come to the Immortal Palace!

This is the Fairy Palace! The spotless, white jade-like ground alone is enough to make these people faint with fear. In their own eyes, even if they just touch this Fairy Palace, it is an unforgivable blasphemy.

But they came up anyway.

Even though the others were not so exaggerated, they were equally excited to the point where they could hardly control themselves.

Especially those hidden schools.

They were chosen, really chosen! Some people were already in tears. From this moment on, they saw the hope of revival of their own doctrine.
