Chapter 504： High school champion!

In Xiyuan of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Xinde listened to politics for the first time after the New Year. As usual, he still didn't like to meet people. Among the ministers, only a few cabinet scholars could see the sky.

In the royal family, even the princes including the prince, including the eldest princess, were all rejected by him. After hearing the government this time, the palace examination began.

The Palace of Zhonghe, this is the first time in three years that the owner of the palace has come to visit. Entering the palace from the south gate of the palace, there is a special imperial road, which belongs to the emperor's unique path.

In addition to the emperor, there are only four people in the world who are eligible to walk on the imperial path. The first person is when the emperor is married, and the queen enters the palace through the south gate imperial path.

The other three were the three great talents who were appointed by the emperor as champion, second-best, and Tanhua after the palace exam. These three were qualified to go out of the palace through the imperial path. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that for the Dakang Empire, the palace examination is the most grand event in the entire country, and the whole country has paid attention to it.

Officials of the Dakang Dynasty, the imperial examination is the only way, from the prime minister to the county official, from the first grade to the ninth grade, all need to participate in the imperial examination and be recruited by the imperial court, there is no other way.

The palace examination is the top examination of the imperial examination. Almost all the students who can participate in the palace examination are the talents of the country. The so-called going to Jinluan Temple and becoming a disciple of the emperor is a supreme honor for scholars.

Therefore, even if Emperor Xin De was ruled by inaction, even if he was obsessed with cultivating immortals and couldn't extricate himself, he never dared to be absent from the triennial palace exam. Because once the emperor is absent from the palace exam, it means that there will be no successor in the Dakang country, and there will be a fault in the officialdom, and the whole country will gradually fall into a huge crisis.

On the day of the palace examination, candidates entered the Hall of Harmony from the South Gate, met the emperor at the Hall of Harmony, and accepted the examination questions from the emperor himself, and the hall examination officially began.

A palace test, as the emperor, needs supervision from beginning to end, and it even sublimated into a grand ceremony. And Lu Zheng was in the Jinluan Temple at this time, he was one of the hundreds of candidates participating in the palace exam.

As Huiyuan, he did not receive much preferential treatment. After the written test, the prelude to the palace was right, and Emperor Xin De finally turned his attention to him. Emperor Xin De seemed to be in a very good mood. He waved to Lu Zheng and said:

"Lu Zheng, I am very happy and pleased. You are already a fifth-rank official, but for this big exam, you are willing to resign from the official position and prepare for the exam. And in the face of the complicated things outside, you are not moved at all. , Always remember the duty of a scholar, this is rare!

I like scholars like you, and you have not disappointed my expectations of you. You stand out from the test. Even Master Wang Shan appreciates you. It is rare for young people to compare with you. "

Lu Zheng hurriedly said: "Thank your Majesty for your compliment. The students feel terrified. The students read the sage books with a heart for the country and the people. They hope that one day they can help the emperor and help the people of the world. Other than that, the students dare not There are other delusions."

Emperor Xinde nodded slightly and said: "Okay, very good! You are also the best in the palace exam I presided over, and I have appointed you as the new champion in this palace exam!"

Lu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately bowed down, and said, "Students thank the emperor for Longen!"

"Be flat!" Emperor Xin De raised his hand gently, squinting at Lu Zheng and said: "Before this, I heard many anecdotes from the outside, one of which is related to Dai Xiang, Dai Xiang said, who If you can get the top prize, you are eligible to marry a daughter of Xiangfu. I know that Lu Qing and Miss Xiangfu Dai Xiaojinglang are a match made in heaven. Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Qing is indeed talented, and she deserves the first place in the palace exam. , So, for Lu Qing, you are double happiness, haha..."

Emperor Xinde laughed, and Lu Zheng quickly bowed his head and said seriously: "Thank you, the emperor, for your accomplishment. The students can only be loyal to your Majesty for the rest of your life and help your Majesty be relieved!"

Lu Zheng said these words, but there were countless thoughts in his mind. Obviously, there were more considerations behind Emperor Xinde Chengquan, because the success of Lu Zheng meant giving up Dai Gao.

Lu Changhe made it very clear that the emperor could not allow Lu Zheng to be both Lu Changhe's godson and son-in-law of the prime minister. Now, Lu Zheng and Dai Xiaojing's lover are finally married, which means that Dai Gao's prime minister may have reached the end.

A power minister who has been in charge of the government for more than ten years suddenly disappeared. How much power should be left in the vacuum? Behind such a big change, how complicated is the entanglement of interests involved?

It is not an exaggeration to say that this was a change in the courtroom directed by Emperor Xin De himself. After this change, the politics of the Dakang Dynasty moved in a new direction from then on.

After Dai Gao, it is almost impossible for a prime minister to have such power as Dai Gao. There is no other reason, because the current capital is different from the capital more than ten years ago.

The current prince, King Qin, and King Qi each have their own power, each has its own sturdy horse, and its wings are becoming more and more prosperous. They will no longer allow new officials to appear.

From this perspective, Dai Gao's resignation will make the competition between the various forces in the capital unprecedentedly fierce, and it will make the prince's seizure of the concubine even more acute. Is such a change a blessing or a curse?

Lu Zheng has deep worries about this, and he is also very wary, but at this moment, he can't show the slightest!

The many talented people on the scene all cast envy eyes on Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng, the number one player in the new division, had already won two yuan before. Now he has won three yuan in a row, becoming the first one to score three yuan in a row since the founding of the Dakang dynasty. Such a great talent, such an honor can be recorded in the annals of history, at this moment, Lu Zheng's limelight is no different.

After Lu Zheng, the emperor appointed the runner-up and Tanhua. Not surprisingly, Zhao Nan got the runner-up and Ma Rusong got the runner-up. These three became the biggest stars in the palace exam.

The list of the palace examinations was posted outside the palace, and Lu Zheng, as the champion, entered the Imperial Academy and became the editor of the Imperial Academy. This is only a seventh-rank position, and everyone knows that Lu Zheng's position is only temporary. Because Lu Zheng was already a fifth-rank official before the big exam, and Lu Zheng still had a knighthood, what Lu Zheng needed was to wait, waiting for the emperor's decree to come down, and Lu Zheng's official position could be determined immediately.

Anyone who knows the court well knows that the time when the emperor's imperial decree comes down is the time for the court to change the situation. Days like this are not far away, and the time has come for Dai Gao to express his stance...

...

After the palace test, Jingcheng was not surprised by the result.

However, among the people, the discussion between Lu Zheng and Dai Gao has become more and more enthusiastic. If Dai Gao let go, he would marry his daughter to whomever he claimed to be the champion. Now Lu Zheng is proud of the crowd and won the champion. What about Dai Gao's laurels? Will his dignified prime minister turn back?

When almost everyone talked about this matter, they were happily. What is more exciting in this world than hitting Dai Gao in the face?

Dai Gao hated Lu Zheng to death, but there was nothing he could do with Lu Zheng. Dai Gao didn’t want to marry his daughter to Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng always had a way to win Miss Dai Fu’s heart. Dai Gao deliberately wanted to help beat the mandarin ducks, but instead of stealing the chicken, he fell into the trap he set up. .

It's so enjoyable, Lu Zheng did what everyone wanted to do but didn't dare to do. Lu Zheng not only fought against the traitorous officials, but also deceived the daughters of the traitorous officials. As a father, Dai Gao had to marry a daughter. A person can live to Lu Zheng's level in his entire life. What a husband can do!

Overnight, Lu Zheng became an idol in people's eyes, and his popularity can be said to be unmatched. And in the capital, for the various forces and the top dignitaries, they are also deeply analyzing this matter.

"That's it! That's how it is! Haha, Dai Gao, Dai Gao, you have been cunning and insidious all your life, this time you lifted a rock and hit yourself in the foot, haha! I said why my father admires this child with the surname Lu so much, dare to love my father The emperor is a drunkard. What is the method of the father? This is a method of no blood! Dai Gao is at the end, and the father is wise!" Donggong, the prince faces his many counselors, hahada Laughing, he laughed very happily and in a great mood.

His number one adviser, the Dao Jin monk, put his hands together and said quietly: "Prince prince, it is indeed a happy event at this time. It is estimated that at this time the brothers of the prince should also have insight into your majesty's intentions. At this time, we have to think about it. What's the next step.

Dai Gao has been in the court for more than ten years, and the centipede is dead but not stiff. In this case, how can we maximize the benefits? This is the key! "

"Master, you have something to say directly, at this moment, you don't want to be hypocritical, I always follow your strategy!" said the prince.

"Prince, the poor monk thinks that the key person is still Lu Zheng. Your Majesty used Lu Zheng to force Dai Gao away, using the method of four or two strokes. This shows that Lu Zheng is a person of weight in your Majesty’s heart! No surprises. It will come down soon at the right time, and Lu Zheng will definitely be valued by His Majesty. Under such circumstances, we have to take the lead.

The prince, there is a saying that when Jie Ren is not well-developed, at this time, it is worth the price to win Lu Zheng! Because of this, you not only got a prince, but more importantly, through Lu Zheng, the prince can win the hearts and minds of the ruling and opposition parties after the fall of Dai Gao..."

The prince nodded lightly and clapped his hands: "Master, this is the words of an old minister for seeking the country. This palace has indeed underestimated Lu Zheng before. Although he wanted to win over many times, he has not paid any money. It seems that it is time to make a move!

Come, please visit Master Nie Yongnie from Yushitai to see this palace, the palace has important errands to him! "

The prince looked at Monk Dao Jin and said: "Master, I will let Nie Yong give a heavy gift, and then the palace will personally wait for the door of the Lu family to congratulate this kid, haha, the Lu family in the south of the Yangtze River is blessed. A good talent, amazing!"
