In the imperial palace, Emperor Xinde did not live in the dormitory, but in the West Garden.

There are mountains and rivers in the West Garden, covering an extremely wide area, Emperor Xinde cultivates the platform in it, builds a furnace, transforms the entire West Garden into a Taoist temple in the deep mountains, not only the environment is extremely quiet and elegant, but also very detached, usually here is the place where Emperor Xinde cultivates, the civil and military officials have not been summoned, and they are not allowed to come to the audience.

Throughout the ages, there have been many emperors who have been obsessed with cultivation, and Lu Zheng had read history in his previous life and had a good understanding of the mentality of this type of emperor.

Obsessed with monasticism is not a passive retreat, on the contrary, this kind of emperor they are often extremely powerful, they cultivate for immortality, in order to hold power forever, this kind of emperor is often moody, scheming, is difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Lu Zheng came all the way to Xiyuan, his mood was very complicated, and he was cautious everywhere, walking on thin ice. He knew very well that the person he wanted to see was the absolute master of the Dakang Dynasty.

Lu Zheng offended Dai Gao, although it was dangerous, but there was still a glimmer of life, but if Emperor Xinde didn't like Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng would have no place to turn over in his life anyway.

The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, this is the Confucian code of the Dakang Dynasty, Lu Zheng doesn't know why Emperor Xinde would know that he is such a small scholar, but the boy said that Yan Lao's roots in the capital are very deep, and all kinds of hidden relationships are intertwined, and even he can't figure it out.

In this case, although Lu Zheng was surprised by this opportunity to face the saint, he also had some thoughts in his heart, and he could probably know that this was most likely the secret foundation that Yan Lao had planted in the capital secretly.

Chen Biao was extremely kind to Lu Zheng along the way, he squinted his eyes, and always patrolled Lu Zheng, which made Lu Zheng a little uncomfortable.

As a eunuch of Bingbi, Chen Biao has a lot of authority in his hands, but Dai Gao doesn't like him, which makes it difficult for him to exert his authority.

In the celebrant eunuch, Chen Biao has always been conscientious and cautious, even if he is wronged, he can only endure and never have two hearts, so Feng Ren, the eunuch of the palm seal, trusts him more.

If there is Dai Gao's support, maybe after Feng Ren is old, Chen Biao can go one step further and become the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor. However, judging from the current situation, Chen Biao feels that this possibility is really slim.

Therefore, deep down he is very resentful of Dai Gao, although he hides this resentment very deeply, and no one can see it, but this emotion does exist!

Up and down the Manchu Dynasty, Dai Gao is the only one, except for the emperor, Dai Gao is not afraid of anyone, and no one dares to offend him. However, Dai Gao, who has such power, didn't get a bargain in front of Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng made a big fuss in the Prime Minister's Mansion and fought with Dai Gao several times, and behaved extremely sharply. Dai Gao hated Lu Zheng to the core, and wanted to belittle him, but he didn't expect to incur the emperor's dissatisfaction.

The emperor not only promoted Lu Zheng's uncle Lu Lun today, but also made an exception to see Lu Zheng in person, obviously, this is a silent warning to Dai Gao.

If Dai Gao doesn't restrain himself and wants to be unfavorable to Lu Zheng again, hehe, Chen Biao can understand the emperor's temperament! If you want people to perish, you must first make people crazy, and now I don't know if Dai Gao also understands this truth!

There is only one thing that Chen Biao can do at the moment, that is, after getting off the sedan chair outside the palace, there are several ways to Xiyuan.

Chen Biao chose the most lively road, from this road, you have to pass through the six yamen, you have to pass by the Hanlin Academy, and finally you have to pass the cabinet, and then you can go to Xiyuan.

Where is his Chen Biao's identity, who doesn't know him?

And when people saw him with a young official, the two talked and laughed, and went straight to Xiyuan, who could not be curious about this matter?

When the officials I met along the way saw this scene, they all pointed fingers, then whispered, and then discussed.

Someone recognized Lu Zheng, and couldn't help but secretly said: "My God, that young man is Lu Zheng, it is said that he is less than eighteen years old, this time the ministry asked him to go to Longyou to fill the vacancy, I didn't expect that even the emperor knew about this matter, this is to go to Xiyuan to meet him!" ”

Go to Xiyuan to see the emperor, but everyone dreams of the civil and military officials, since Emperor Xinde cultivated, he ignored the government, except for a few ministers in the cabinet, the rest of the courtiers have no chance to see the emperor, and now Lu Zheng is wearing the official uniform of a small seven-grade official, and he actually went to Xiyuan to face the saint, not to mention the ordinary five or six grades, even if it is a second-grade Shangshu and a third-grade waiter, they are also envious!

Chen Zhiqian, the servant of the ministry, happened to see this scene, his face was very strange, he did it to fill Lu Zheng's vacancy in Longyou! His original intention was to slap Dai Gao's ass, but he didn't expect this matter to turn out to be this result now, what should I do now? What will Xiang Ye think about this?

Chen Zhiqian was very worried in his heart, but he was helpless, could he go to Dai Gao at this time? The eyes of the colleagues around him are obviously different from before!

Lu Zheng didn't know that Chen Biao had these twists and turns in his heart, he just felt that the road to see the emperor once was really far away, and he was relaxed after walking such a long way in a state of mental stress.

Outside the West Garden, Chen Biao asked Lu Zheng to wait outside, and this wait lasted for more than half an hour, and then Chen Biao came out to lead Lu Zheng and the two in.

Passing through a large hall, and then arriving at the warm pavilion, the dragon chair in the warm pavilion is a middle-aged man wearing a cyan robe, a middle-aged man with a crown and a belt, looking at his expression peaceful, but a pair of eyes are particularly sharp, looking forward to it, full of majesty.

Lu Zheng knew in his heart that this person was Emperor Xinde, so he immediately stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed according to the etiquette of the three kowtows of the Dakang Dynasty, and said:

"Jiangnan Lu Zheng visits the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!"

Emperor Xinde smiled lightly, raised his hand and said, "Flatten!" Jiangnan genius, like thunder. I've read your poems, and they're very literate. After coming to the capital this time, I have also heard about the affairs between you and the Prime Minister, and I have a lot of courage.

In time, you will be the pillar of my Dakang Dynasty, haha......"

The emperor praised falsely, and Lu Zheng was terrified. Lu Zheng is eighteen years old this year, and he was awarded the seven-grade Wusha by the emperor's holy grace, and there seems to be no second person in his age other than me for such glory.

Lu Zheng swears that he must be conscientious, work hard, make a name for himself in Longyou, and live up to the emperor's trust and expectations! Lu Zheng said seriously.

This matter actually has nothing to do with Emperor Xinde, everything was done by Dai Gao, but Lu Zheng deliberately beautified this matter, and said that this matter was a holy grace, on the one hand, it was naturally to please the emperor, and on the other hand, he did not forget to give Dai Gao eye medicine. His way was very subtle and not easy to detect, and even Chen Biao, who was standing next to him, didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

Emperor Xinde's eyes narrowed, and then he laughed again, and said, "Okay, it's good to have your words!" I'm glad you are so motivated. This time you have a misunderstanding with the Prime Minister, I also know, you can rest assured, this time you went to Longyou not to distribute, but to hone and sharpen.

Young people, more grinding, great benefits, the heavens descend on the people, you must first work hard and work your muscles and bones, Lu Zheng, you are Xie Yuan, and there are still more than two years before the test.

I will make an agreement with you for two years, if you are able to make a name for yourself in Longyou for two years, I will allow you to return to Beijing, and after the palace test, I will reuse you! Good no good? ”

Lu Zheng hurriedly paused and said: "Thank you for the emperor's grace, the emperor's concern for Weichen, the minister must remember it in his heart, and he dare not forget it!" ”

"Haha......" Emperor Xinde was very happy and said: "Don't be so polite, Chen Biao, go, enjoy Lu Zheng a bowl of rice porridge and a bowl of longevity soup, go, go!" ”

After Xinde finished speaking, he stood up, took a peachwood sword from the wall, and went out without looking back.

Lu Zheng was still about to kneel down to thank him, Chen Biao said: "Brother Zheng, tsk, tsk, amazing!" The emperor's grace, reward you with rice porridge and longevity soup, follow me and receive the reward! ”

Emperor Xinde likes rice porridge, and the longevity soup is made of the so-called various immortal medicines, which can dispel poison and prolong life.

Of course, for Lu Zheng, these two things are insensitive, just don't underestimate this matter. The emperor's meeting of Lu Zheng has to be written into the living note.

The pairs between Lu Zheng and the emperor, including the last time Lu Zheng got, will be recorded. What's more important is that Chen Biao participated in the whole process of this matter, and he naturally has a way to spread the word about the match between Lu Zheng and the emperor, as well as these rewards.

Once it spread, the nature of Lu Zheng's trip to Longyou completely changed. Originally, everyone thought that Dai Gao wanted to kill Lu Zheng and send him to Longyou, where birds don't!

Well, now that the emperor has come forward, this encouragement, and the so-called two-year covenant, this matter has become the emperor's intention to cultivate and sharpen Lu Zheng, so that he can be in charge of the party at a young age, which is the emperor's special favor to him!

In these years, it is not a big deal to be able to get the special favor of the emperor, besides, Lu Lun was also promoted, and the emperor personally ordered him to go to the household department, so that it can be said that the status of the Lu family in the capital has been completely reversed, at this moment, who would dare to fall into the well of the Lu family again?

Whether it is the Gu family, the Chen family, or the Zhang family, they all died down, because everyone tore their faces because of this incident, they wanted to come to congratulate Lu Lun but they couldn't, they really knew today, why bother in the first place.

On the Jiangnan side, Lu Lun sent the story to Jinling through the flying pigeon biography, and it is no exaggeration to say that this biography caused the Lu family in Jinling to suffer a big earthquake.

Lu Shanchang is okay, his city is very deep, and he has always encouraged Lu Zheng, Lu Qian and Lu Zheng's uncles, in addition to Mrs. Zhang and a group of people suffered, Lu Shanchang in order to save Lu Zheng's reputation and status, he was ruthless to them, that scene was really exciting......
