A person like Dong Wende, who has both talent and a net worth background, but can't enter the Hanlin Academy, can only be described as a poor person.

The emperor looked at Dong Wende's life and said: "I'm afraid that he is not valued by the family, but this eldest son can not be taken seriously like this, which is unprecedented." ”

Father-in-law Zhang nodded yes.

Xiao Shunzi, the eldest apprentice of Gonggong Zhang, whispered a few words in Gonggong Zhang's ear.

Gonggong Zhang stepped forward and said, "The new champion has arrived." ”

The emperor said: "Pass." ”

Gonggong Zhang waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Shunzi to pass it, and after a while, he heard a shout outside the study, "Dong Wende, the champion of the new department, will meet you." ”

Dong Wende was dressed in the big red official uniform of the champion Lang, and after entering the imperial study, he directly bowed.

"Minister, Dong Wende, the new champion, knocks on Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live. ”

The emperor looked at Dong Wende like this, and didn't ask him to get up, Dong Wende knelt like this, without the slightest worry.

After a while, the emperor said, "Get up." ”

Dong Wende stood up after hearing this, still standing with his head down.

"What kind of official position does Zhuang Yuanlang want to get?"

The emperor asked like this, and Dong Wende was stunned when he heard it.

The emperor said again: "Well, didn't Dong Qing's family think about this before?"

Gonggong Zhang whispered on the side: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and reply." ”

Dong Wende reacted, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister doesn't know, the minister is waiting for the cabinet to pass the decree." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "It's a stunned young man, not like the Dong family." ”

Then he thought that this Dong Zhuangyuan was raised in the Chen family.

He laughed and said, "Get up and talk up." ”

Dong Wende is very obedient, let him get up, let him look up, let him raise his head.

He looked at the emperor, just like the legend of the Great Zhou, the appearance of the Xiao family's royal family was very ordinary, but the eyes were extremely bright.

He looked at those bright eyes, and a sense of intimacy suddenly rose.

Dong Wende has a good impression of the emperor, and the expression on his face is no longer so stiff, and he looks a lot softer.

The emperor saw Dong Wende's relaxation, and his heart was even more curious.

The emperor said: "Dong Qing's family came forward and grinded for me." ”

Dong Wende replied yes, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.

Gonggong Zhang couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw it, in recent years, it seems that only Vice Minister Wei can grind for His Majesty, and this Dong Zhuangyuan is not restrained at all, he is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Dong Wende began to grind, and his grinding technique was the same as Wei Zhongxian's, obviously this was a teacher.

The emperor asked, "You will also do this grinding technique?"

Dong Wende said: "Yes, the minister followed his grandfather before he was eight years old, and the minister's grandfather was Wei Xiangye's teacher. ”

The emperor nodded, very satisfied with Dong Wende's thoughtless reply.

The emperor opened the fold and asked while reviewing the fold, "How old is Aiqing?"

Dong Wende replied: "The minister has one in twenty this year. ”

The emperor nodded, "You already have a wife and children at home?"

Dong Wende said: "Yes, the minister has been married to his cousin since he was a child, and he became married, and now he has a daughter and a son in the family." ”

The emperor sighed and said, "There are only three princes under my knees, and there are no princesses, so I will take your daughter into the palace for me to see." ”

Dong Wende stopped what he was doing and muttered, "The minister also wants to see his daughter, but it's a pity that the courtier's daughter is not in Beijing." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "It seems that this Dong Ruyi is not unfavorable." ”

The emperor continued: "Oh, now your wife and children are in your hometown?"

Dong Wende shook his head and said: "When the minister went to Beijing, he brought his wife and children, but he left only the eldest daughter. The minister thought that when he was settled, he would take her to his side. ”

The emperor put down the pen in his hand and said, "Listening to Aiqing's words, your daughter is still very favored, how old is she this year?"

Dong Wende said: "Back to Your Majesty, the little girl is four years old this year, and she will be five years old after the summer solstice." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "What about your kid?"

Dong Wende said: "Chen Gouzi has just turned four years old now. ”

The emperor pretended to be surprised and said, "Then your daughter is the eldest daughter? ”

Dong Wende hurriedly explained: "No, the minister's eldest daughter is an adopted daughter, the minister has been married for three years without children, so he and his wife went to the Big Buddha Temple to ask for a child, who expected to pick up a baby girl on the way back, the minister couldn't find her family, so he took it home to raise, and afterwards the minister also looked for people to find two years, and finally didn't find it." ”

The emperor nodded, "It can be seen that Aiqing has a good character." ”

Dong Wende said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the eldest daughter of the minister has been obedient, well-behaved, and very cute since she was a child. ”

The emperor felt in his heart, "Can an obedient, well-behaved, and lovely girl do such a thing as the imperial examination?"

He thought so in his heart, but he said: "When she enters Beijing, she will go back and bring her into the palace for me to see." ”

Dong Wende said: "Yes, the minister obeys the order, and when the sister enters Beijing, the minister will definitely bring her over to ask Your Majesty for peace." ”

The two chatted for a long time, Dong Wende chatted very happily, as long as his baby daughter was mentioned, he was excited.

Then they also talked about government affairs and the governance of various places, and the emperor found that Dong Wende was not only obsessed with his daughter, but also very knowledgeable, and then thought about it, which bachelor from the Chen family in Jiangning was not knowledgeable.

After some talking, the emperor had a love for Dong Wende, who had no scheming at all.

"The new champion Dong Wende took the order. ”

Dong Wende was stunned for a moment, hurriedly put down the ink block in his hand, sorted out his official uniform, walked to the bookcase, knelt down and said: "Minister Dong Wende listens to the order." ”

The emperor looked at Dong Wende and said, "Yu Shi of the Hanlin Academy died of illness the year before last, and Dong Qing's family took his place, saving me that I don't even have a person to talk to on weekdays." ”

Dong Wende was stunned, Hanlin Academy... The waiter... Positive six products.

Seeing Dong Wende in a daze, Gonggong Zhang hurriedly said: "Hey, Lord Dong, Master Dong, thank you." ”

Dong Wende hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Minister, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ”

After Dong Wende stepped back, there was a discussion in the palace.

"Have you heard? Lord Yu's position has been topped?"

"What? Which one is so powerful, Lord Yu has passed away for three or four years, how many people in his position in the Hanlin Academy are red-eyed, but His Majesty just won't let go. ”

"I heard that it is this year's new champion. ”

"I heard that it seems to be the nephew of Dong Shilang Dong. ”

"What, the emperor deliberately didn't want Dong Shilang to join the cabinet?"

"Who knows!"

As soon as the news spread in the palace, everyone outside the palace who heard the wind began to talk about it.

The next day, the early dynasty was as always, and the emperor did not show the slightest displeasure.

Liu Xiang, Wei Zhongxian and other pavilion elders are all honest, and they are waiting for the emperor's attitude.

After everyone dispersed, they began to talk about it in twos and threes.

This is Dong Wende's first time in the early dynasty, but his official position is low, and he follows closely behind everyone.
