Chapter 316
Li Tai immediately walked off the stage after he finished speaking, followed by the six flag-raising team members.
More than 700 students in the square applauded at the same time, and the applause could be heard everywhere in the entire campus.
Li Shimin, who was standing not far away, was in a bad mood.
When had he ever seen such a scene?
What should he say when he ran to the stage?
If he was asked to go to the military camp, even if there were 100,000 troops standing below, Li Shimin would not be afraid at all.
But facing these elementary school students...
He really couldn't control the situation. Li Shimin might have been shocked by them a long time ago.
After the long-lasting applause, Li Shimin knew that he couldn't refuse today, so he straightened his chest and took a deep breath to force himself to calm down.
He glared at Su Chen who was standing at the door of the office. He knew that this must be Su Chen's idea. Li Tai didn't have such courage.
Dare to let him speak on the stage without notifying him in advance.
Isn't this obviously making Li Shimin embarrassed?
He trotted all the way to the flag-raising platform, slowed down his pace when he arrived at the bottom of the platform, and walked calmly to the flag-raising platform.
Then he turned to face all the students.
Li Shimin had also seen big scenes, and seemed to be familiar with it.
He raised his hands slightly and stretched them forward to signal to stop clapping.
The school had notified each class last week that officials from the court would come to the school to listen to the class today, and reminded students not to be curious if they met strangers in the classroom.
But he did not say that it was His Majesty the Emperor.
It was okay for the people near Chang'an, but if it was the people in places far away outside the pass, they might not even have heard of the names of the current emperor and the court officials.
It was even more impossible to have seen them.
After the applause stopped, Li Shimin calmly said loudly:
"Hello, teachers and students!
I am Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I am fortunate to spend a wonderful morning with my classmates today.
I just finished a class with the students of Class 3 of Grade 1, and I am filled with emotion.
In the past, the court lacked ability, and everyone could not afford to buy books and go to school. I am the emperor and I have the responsibility.
Today, I am very pleased to see that the students can sit in the classroom and study attentively.
I hope that the students can do the eight words on the blackboard in the classroom:
Study hard and make progress every day!"
Li Shimin raised his tone when he said the last sentence, raised his right hand with his palm facing the audience, and waved forward.
The thunderous applause sounded again in the square, which lasted for more than 20 seconds.
Li Shimin raised his hands slightly and pressed them again, and the applause stopped.
"I just watched the students raise the national flag. I was so excited because I saw hope in the students.
Just like the red sun rising up!
As the students recited: A strong youth means a strong country!
You are the hope for the future of the Tang Dynasty!
Beautiful is the young Tang Dynasty, which will never grow old! Strong is the young Tang Dynasty, which will never be bounded by the country!"
Finally, Li Shimin was passionate and quoted the young Tang Dynasty to say the last paragraph.
Ended his first speech on stage.
This was also the first time that Li Shimin called himself "I" instead of "Zhen" in public.
The whole process was simple and concise, without obscure words.
The group of children quickly became familiar with the applause process. Without being reminded or led by others, they naturally applauded hard after Li Shimin finished his speech.
From then on, the etiquette of applause quickly became popular.
The applause lasted for about half a minute, and Li Shimin signaled the students to stop applauding.
But he didn't know how to continue. He couldn't just turn around and leave!
Li Shimin stood on the stage with a calm smile on his face, looking around.
He hoped someone would take over from him.
Fortunately, a teacher named Zhang, who was also the vice principal, came on stage immediately.
He saluted Li Shimin respectfully and guided him down the flag-raising platform.
"Your Majesty, please!"
Li Shimin smiled and bowed in return, saying, "Okay!"
However, Li Shimin did not go far, and stood under the flag-raising platform facing the students in the square.
After Li Shimin left the flag-raising platform, Vice Principal Zhang shouted:
"The flag-raising ceremony is over, dismissed!"
After the dismissal, a group of children ran quickly to the bathroom. Now it was less than five minutes before the bell rang.
Li Shimin looked at this group of energetic elementary school students and felt very emotional.
In another corner, three newspaper reporters quickly recorded everything that had just happened.
Today, Prince Li Chengqian did not come. He was guarding the palace.
Many of the people who came to listen to the lectures and exchange ideas this time were people Su Chen had never seen before.
The students in the square had all dispersed, and Li Shimin looked up at the Tang Dynasty flag flying high in the wind.
His eyes revealed an extremely determined look.
"It's time to settle accounts with that bastard!"
Li Shimin was about to leave and walk towards Su Chen, and Zhangsun Wuji, Kong Yingda and others immediately surrounded him.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, this old minister must be hereImperial College, implement this teaching method in Zhenguan Hope Primary School, and raise the national flag. "
Kong Yingda immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"Master Kong, you must not blindly copy it. You must arrange for doctors and teaching assistants to come here for training and study." Li Shimin nodded slightly, and then reminded.
He was worried that the Imperial College would only know how to copy the empty framework, so that it would be superficial and not the essence.
"I will obey the imperial edict!
Your Majesty, we will continue to listen to the class, and we will return to Chang'an before sunset. Please allow it!" Kong Yingda bowed again.
"Please allow it, Your Majesty!" Several other Imperial College entourage also bowed.
"I, it's allowed! I will leave a team of guards to escort you, my dear ministers." Li Shimin thought for a while and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! "
Kong Yingda and others got Li Shimin's permission and turned to walk towards the classroom, walking very fast as if they were afraid of being late.
Li Shimin looked up at the place where Su Chen was just now, and found that Su Chen was no longer there.
Even Li Tai was gone, and Li Shimin quickly walked towards the office.
"Father! Wait..."
Suddenly, the voice of Princess Changle came from behind.
Li Shimin stopped, turned around and smiled at Princess Changle who was walking towards him.
"Beautiful, good performance, father is very pleased!" Li Shimin also followed Su Chen and gave a thumbs up to praise.
Princess Changle smiled slightly and handed a piece of paper to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took it in confusion.
"Peace and prosperity, good weather and good harvest?" After reading these eight words, Li Shimin looked thoughtful.
"Good, good, good! Peace and prosperity, good weather and good harvest, good! May the Tang Dynasty have good weather and good harvest every year. "
Li Shimin looked at Princess Changle and smiled:
"Is it that boy's masterpiece again?"
Princess Changle nodded, "Father, I have to prepare lessons. My daughter has another class in the morning."
"Okay, okay, you are busy!" Li Shimin smiled politely.
Li Shimin handed the paper to Changsun Wuji and said:
"Fuji, I don't want to listen to the class anymore.
Follow me to settle accounts with that bastard boy, who dared to embarrass me in public!"
"Peace and prosperity in the country, good weather and good harvests, what a grand wish!" Changsun Wuji glanced at the eight words on the paper casually.
"Huh? Fuji, what are you doing?" Li Shimin found that Changsun Wuji did not catch up, and urged.
"Here, here, here! Come right now!"
Changsun Wuji hurried to catch up.
