However, based on the subsequent reports, Lu Yuan’s actions appear to have been very effective.
Many of the scholars who received his warmth were all grateful, just like Cui Changqing said.
A king who cares so much for scholars, isn’t he the best wise ruler for those who study?
So Lu Yuan’s good reputation among the literati, has only improved in leaps and bounds after this event.
Under such atmosphere, the imperial examination began on the first day of November.
However, Lu Yuan did not show up for this first imperial examination of the new dynasty.
The chief examiner of the examination had been decided long ago, it was Cui Changqing.
The other deputy examiners and assistants had also been decided long ago, and there was no need for him, the king, to do anything.
Lu Yuan just needed to wait patiently until the examination ended and the new jinshi were selected. He would only need to show up for the palace examination afterward.
For now, he just needs to wait.
Although Lu Yuan attaches great importance to the imperial examination, at the moment, he is too busy to handle it.
Because his energy is now consumed by handling another matter.
Within the royal palace in North City, which was once the Da Yue palace.
“Cai’er, what do you think of this wedding dress?”
Lu Yuan held Lan Cai’er’s hand, smiled, and pointed at the bright red ceremonial robes displayed before them by several palace servants, asking for the opinion of his fiancee.
“I will follow my husband’s decision.” Lan Cai’er blushed slightly, glanced at the wedding dress, and lowered her head.
Even as an Inborn Grandmaster, she could not keep her composure like a young girl when faced with the big matter of marriage.
“Haha”
Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, waving his hand and saying, “Then this one it is.”
In his laughter, he also expressed some anticipation and excitement for his upcoming wedding.
When Lu Yuan and Lan Zhaoyun decided on the engagement, they agreed on the third day of the first month in Hongdao’s seventh year, and one year later, which is the third day of the first month in Hongdao’s eighth year, they would be married.
Now that more than half a year has passed, there are only two months left until their wedding date.
Lu Yuan is the founding monarch, and as his wife, Lan Cai’er is considered the founding queen. Furthermore, both of them are Inborn Grandmasters, and their positions in Jianghu are very high.
If one takes into account that one of them is Yue people and the other is Miao People, this marriage has extremely important significance in stabilizing the country.
Therefore, the two’s marriage must not be taken lightly, and must be well-organized.
In fact, the announcement of their wedding and invitations were sent out early on.
The Yue Country, Southsea, Ninghai, and some Yi countries in the southwest, Liang Country and Zhou Country in the north, and some countries in the East Sea.
Lu Yuan sent people to notify anyone who had any relation with the Changsha Kingdom.
No matter whether they come or not, the first wedding of his life must be grand.
He was not afraid to spend millions of silver tales for this, the equivalent of the military expenses for a hundred thousand soldiers for a year, just to organize a grand wedding.
With the massive amount of silver tales spent, preparations for various matters have begun.
But after delegating a lot of tasks to his subordinates, Lu Yuan also had to put in some effort in planning his own wedding.
Such as spending time with his bride-to-be and deepening their bond.
This is indeed a matter of national importance.
After all, his queen is not only an Inborn Grandmaster but also the Holy Woman of the Miao People.
If he doesn’t appease her, wouldn’t the stability of the nation be at risk?
This is not him clouding official matters with personal ones, nor is it because Lu Yuan wants to spend more time with his charming bride, look at her blushing face, and listen to her lovely voice.
Although it must be said.
Toying with an Inborn Grandmaster and watching the high and mighty Holy Woman show various postures does give Lu Yuan a sense of accomplishment.
But let’s make this clear three times.
He was doing this for the nation, for the Altars of Soil and Grain, for the people under his rule.
It was not an act of lust.
