In the capital, the black clouds hovering over the Xiyuan of the Imperial Palace finally dissipated, and the grand grand glutinous rice cake hosted by the emperor himself finally came to an end. The saint’s rejoicing, it is said that this time the glutinous rice cake has been very rewarding, and the emperor’s cultivation has improved greatly. He added two words to his dao name.
After coming down from the altar of the Zhaijiao, all Taoist priests have a great reward. The heavenly master Xu Tiandao received the reward and returned to his Taoist temple. The Emperor Xinde of Xiyuan was only able to entertain the officials.
My companion Feng Ren looked at Emperor Xin De wearing a dung dragon robe, and said with a smile on his face: "The emperor, your expression today is really energetic. It reminds the slave of the situation when you just ascended the throne twenty years ago. You are a young and immortal slave. It's getting old!"
Feng Ren spoke through the emperor’s thoughts. Sure enough, Emperor Xin De was in a better mood after hearing these words. He said, "You are the only slave who can speak! I have been on the stage for dozens of days, in the dust. I don’t know anything about it! Today, I’m going to have a banquet for the officials. Can you tell me something interesting about the capital recently?"
Feng Rendao: "Return to the emperor, if you want to ask the most interesting thing, at that time Dai Xiang’s mansion was preparing for a palace test to recruit relatives. Dai Xiang let out a word, saying that if anyone in the spring of next year can win the top prize, he will marry his daughter. The number one scholar. The emperor, what do you think this master thinks? Putting Lu Zheng such a good son-in-law can't look down on him, so he has to bet on it. Is it possible that Lu Zheng really can't get into his eyes?"
Emperor Xinde was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed, and said: "This is interesting. Dai Gao has made a noise. The capital must be lively, right? The prince, the boss, and the third child are not jumping too much?"
Feng Ren was taken aback for a moment, and he groaned and didn't dare to speak. The emperor said, "What are you afraid of, old thing? You are the only two of you, the monarch and the minister. What can't you say?"
Feng Ren hesitated, and said, "The emperor has thought of it, and there is no need for a slave to talk! King Qin, King Qi and the prince are all working on this matter recently. The slightly talented talents in Beijing are seeing an increase in their value right now. People who are talented and talented are all snatched and jumped into the dragon gate. There are a lot of stories in the capital!"
Emperor Xinde raised his brows, snorted softly, and said: "Really? They want to concoct a champion like this? The palace test is the big test I presided over! Can they be the master? Right, What is this kid, Lu Zheng doing lately?"
"My Majesty, Mr. Lu is very clever. He advanced to Fayuan Temple like a prophet and thanked the guests behind closed doors. When Mr. Lu entered the mountain gate, he really didn't care about the outside affairs. Hehe, he was out of the picture in the wind and rain. Many people think I couldn't find him, even his teachers Nie Yong and Su Qing couldn't find him.
Su Qing even went to Bada Hutong and called Girl Li Qianqian, and the two went straight to Fayuan Temple and they both had a closed door. The emperor, this Young Master Lu Zheng is so young, the city mansion is really amazing! "
"Okay!" Emperor Xin De clapped his hands, the unpleasant color on his face melted instantly, and said: "It is worthy of the person I like, who has the ability to raise the spirit. There are many talented people these days, but they are really good-minded. It’s rare for people like Lu Zheng. At this time, he can settle down and study with peace of mind. It is much better than those talented people who are eager to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix!"
Emperor Xinde waved his hand and strode out, Feng Ren hurriedly said, "The emperor is going to drive!"
Outside Xiyuan, the cabinet ministers and the ministers have been waiting for a long time. It is not easy for them. The youngest present are the second-rank seniors, but some second-rank seniors have seen the emperor the only time throughout the year.
When Emperor Xinde arrived, the officials bowed down and said in unison: "See the emperor, long live my emperor!"
Emperor Xinde laughed, and said, "Fine! By the way, why didn't I see Lord Wang Shan? Is our examination lead examiner absent today?"
Dai Gao took a step forward and said: "Report to your Majesty, this is the fault of the minister. The minister did not know in advance that the emperor wanted to see us as ministers and workers. Lord Wang did not serve in the cabinet and Liubu, and he would stay at home on weekdays. The minister did not ask anyone to invite him, my lord, I will invite Master Wang Shan to see him!"
"Okay, okay, it's cold when I go to the day lily at this time. Today, I just casually meet with the ministers and workers and have a chat! The world of our Dakang Dynasty is not peaceful, and these few months have always been born. What's wrong, what's going on in Shandong? Why is it the other way around?" Xin De emperor said.
Dai Gao said: "The emperor, there has been news from Shandong, Shandong Governor Tan Cheng has led troops to fight the rebellion, there is no rebellion in Shandong, and the ministers have already paid for the rebellion. Please beg the emperor to give Tan Chengen a reward!"
Emperor Xinde nodded and said, "That's right! The ministers who have contributed to the state must be rewarded, but there must be a reason behind the rebellion. We must strictly investigate, find the root cause, and punish severely!"
Dai Gao lowered his head and repeatedly said yes, while the other officials pretended to be deaf and dumb, not daring to say anything. Whether it is Shandong or Northwest, except for the emperor’s imperial envoys, all localities have powers, and the Dakang Dynasty cannot achieve central unity.
Now Jiangnan, South China, Zhili, Liangguang, and Liaodong have all returned to the imperial court, but Longyou, Shandong, and Henan are still in power. Since the first emperor, the rich and powerful has become a very sensitive term. It is certain that the rich and powerful will be removed, but how can it be easily removed?
Even Dai Gao didn't dare to take action easily on this issue, for fear of stealing chickens and losing rice, and causing trouble!
When Emperor Xinde met with his ministers today, he would naturally not hold on to these questions. For him, he was just taking advantage of this opportunity to relax and send a training pain. Seeing that all the ministers and workers except Dai Gao looked like worms, he felt dull, and said a few words hastily, nothing more than to encourage everyone to work hard, do errands earnestly, work for Dakang, and work for the subjects. So much.
The ministers and workers all know these words, but saying the same words from the emperor still makes them feel different. Emperor Xin De knows this very well. When he saw several ministers and workers were inexplicably excited, he secretly nodded in his heart and felt that The fire was almost over, and he was about to dismiss the ministers and workers, suddenly he moved in his heart and said:
"By the way, where is Lu Qing?"
Lu Changhe walked out from behind the officials, looking at his appearance, hiding in the most corner, unobtrusive. But when he stood up, everyone turned their eyes on him.
With so many ministers and workers, the emperor only reads two people. The first person is Wang Shan. This person is a teacher of the emperor. He is highly respected and belongs to the deity class in the Dakang Dynasty literary world. The second minister is Lu Changhe, who is so enviable that Lu Changhe can win the Sacred Heart.
"The minister is here!" Lu Changhe was neither humble nor overbearing.
"Haha, don't be nervous, I heard that Lu Qing had a happy event and accepted a godson, haha, this is a good thing! Tell me, what is your godson's background? Who is your name? Give me an introduction , Get to know, okay?" Emperor Xin De said with great interest.
Lu Changhe was amused secretly, accepting Lu Zheng as a godson was the instruction of Emperor Xin De, but now he deliberately asked, isn't this a play? The emperor is good at acting, and the courtiers can only cooperate. Lu Changhe couldn't help but feel lucky for Lu Zheng. It's not uncommon for this kid to learn to be high, but it's uncommon for him to have the Sacred Heart. It's so lucky. It's really not easy!
"Returning to the emperor, this son is a descendant of the Lu family in the south of the Yangtze River. The surname is Lu Mingzheng. The emperor once bestowed him the official title of rank five military attache. The Weichen thought that this son was a manufacturable material, and because he had no children, he accepted him... …"
"Oh? Lu Zheng? That's Lu Zheng who went to the county in the northwest? I remember what you said, what a kid! He is a talent, and he went to the northwest as a man, and he was promoted to the fifth rank in just two years. Lu Qing, your vision is really poisonous, you know people with your insight, good, very good, I am very happy, very pleased!
Come, watch the tour! What's the reward? Lu Qing, what do you think I reward him? "
Lu Changhe said: "Back to the emperor, Zheng'er is studying behind closed doors, preparing for next year's Spring Festival exam. Weichen feels that this time is not suitable for rewards. Young people are easy to be proud and easy to swell, so let him keep his peace of mind and peace of mind. Prepare for the big exam as well!"
"Well, no, no, other young people are easy to be proud and easy to swell. I believe it, but I understand Lu Zheng. The first thing he did when he came back from the northwest was to resign from office and study. How could this kind of disposition child Because of a few rewards, I lose my mind? So, I won't reward him for silver rewards. Let him reward him with a knighthood, second-class general!"
Emperor Xin De was determined to reward him, and when he opened his mouth, he was a second-class general, and there was a commotion in the audience.
The title of the Dakang Dynasty is extremely difficult to obtain. Except for the founding heroes and the royal clan, there are very few who can receive the title reward. You must know that the great grandfather of the previous generation of Lu Zheng, the Lu family, is also the title of a second-class general! Lu Zheng was so favored by the title.
The official salaries of the Dakang dynasty were low, while the nobles with titles had higher incomes, because the salaries of the officials were silver allocated from the national treasury, while the salaries of the titles were silver allocated from the inner treasury. Lu Zheng, a second-class general, is equivalent to a second-class general. The salary of an official, and he can have it for the rest of his life, it is a great gift to anyone who puts such a thing on!
The crowd was in a commotion, but no one dared to raise objections. The emperor rewarded Lu Zheng because Lu Zheng became Lu Changhe’s adopted son. Needless to say, the relationship between Lu Changhe and the emperor is that this person still controls the Xuanjing Division. , But whoever is an official, who is not afraid of this ghastly institution? Unless you want to die, who would offend Suan Jingji?
In this way, everyone envy, Lu Zheng has a knighthood, and those with keen senses seem to be able to arouse a lot of associations from this incident.
The emperor likes Lu Zheng very much. Lu Zheng has a very high chance of being reused as an errand after the college entrance examination. Also, this time the scientific investigation Lu Zheng will receive more attention. For the current capital, Lu Zheng's rise in the sky It has become inevitable...
