The whole book, the fastest update of the latest chapter!
In the capital, the black clouds that swirled and rose over the West Garden of the Imperial Palace finally dispersed, and the grand Zhai Jiao presided over by the emperor himself finally came to an end.
Coming down from the altar of Jiao, the Taoist priests all have a heavy reward, the heavenly master Xu Tiandao got the reward and returned to his Taoist temple, and Emperor Xinde of Xiyuan feasted the ministers.
The eldest companion Feng Ren looked at Emperor Xinde wearing a dragon robe, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, your complexion today is really spiritual, which reminds the slave of the situation when you just ascended the throne twenty years ago, you are young and young, but the slave is old!" β
Feng Ren spoke like this to understand the emperor's thoughts, and sure enough, Emperor Xinde was in a better mood when he heard this, and said, "You are the only slave who can speak!" I have been on the platform for dozens of days, and I don't know anything about the things in the red dust! Today I want to have a banquet for the ministers, what are you talking about in the capital recently? β
Feng Ren said: "Back to the emperor, if you want to ask the most interesting thing, when Dai Xiangfu was preparing to try to recruit relatives in the palace, Dai Xiang released a word, saying that if anyone can win the champion in the spring next year, he will marry his daughter to the champion." Your Majesty, what do you think of this Xiangye? If Lu Zheng is such a good son-in-law, he can't look down on it, so he has to gamble on this, could it be that Lu Zheng really can't get into his eyes? β
Emperor Xinde was slightly stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "This is interesting, Dai Gao's hand has made a fuss, the capital must be lively, right?" The prince, the eldest and the third are still jumping hard? β
Feng Ren was slightly stunned for a moment, and he didn't dare to speak, and the emperor said, "You old thing, what are you afraid of?" You and I are the two of you, what can't you say? β
Feng Ren hesitated for a moment and said, "The emperor has thought of it, so there is no need for the slave to talk too much!" King Qin, King Qi and the crown prince have been working hard for this matter recently, and the slightly talented people in the capital are now worth up, and as for the people with outstanding talents, they are all snare and jump out of the dragon gate, there are many good stories in the capital! β
Emperor Xinde raised his eyebrows, snorted softly, and said, "Really? Do they want to concoct a champion like this? The palace test is a big test presided over by me! Are they in charge? By the way, what has this kid been doing lately? β
"Back to Your Majesty, Lu Gongzi is very smart, the prophet is generally advanced to the Fayuan Temple closed door, Lu Gongzi entered the mountain gate, he really didn't care about the outside at all, hehe, he stayed out of the wind and rain in the city, many people wanted to find him but couldn't, even his teachers Nie Yong and Su Qing couldn't find him.
Su Qing even went to the Bada Hutong and called Miss Li Qianqian, and the two went straight to Fayuan Temple and ate the closed door. Your Majesty, this son Lu Zheng is young, and the city government is really powerful! β
"Good!" Emperor Xinde clapped his hands, and the displeasure on his face just now instantly dissolved, and said: "He is worthy of being a person I like, and he has the ability to cultivate qi." There are a lot of talented people in these years, but people with real good hearts are rare, Lu Zheng is good, at this time, he can calm down and study with peace of mind, which is much better than those talents who are in a hurry to climb the dragon and the phoenix! β
Emperor Xinde waved his hand and strode out, Feng Ren hurriedly pulled his throat and said, "The emperor has started!" β
Outside Xiyuan, the cabinet ministers, and the ministers have been waiting for a long time, they are not easy, the youngest people present are all second-grade officials, but some second-grade officials are the only time they can see the emperor all year round.
When Emperor Xinde arrived, all the ministers knelt down and said in unison: "See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" β
Emperor Xinde laughed and said, "Flatten!" By the way, why didn't I see Lord Wang Shan? Is our examiner absent today? β
Dai Gao took a step forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the mistake of Weichen, Weichen didn't know in advance that the emperor wanted to see our ministers, Lord Wang didn't work in the cabinet and the six ministries, and he was at home on weekdays, so Weichen didn't let people invite, Emperor, I will go and invite Lord Wang Shan to meet!" β
"Okay, okay, it's cold to go to daylily again at this time, today I'm just going to meet with the ministers casually and chat! The world of our Dakang Dynasty is not peaceful, there have always been incidents in the past few months, what is going on in this place in Shandong? Why is it the other way around? "Emperor Xinde.
Dai Gao said: "Your Majesty, there has been news from Shandong, Shandong Governor Tan Cheng has led troops to quell the rebellion, there is no rebellion in the whole territory of Shandong, Weichen has already been on the fold, ask the emperor to give Tan Cheng a reward!" β
Emperor Xinde nodded and said, "That's right!" Meritorious officials for the country must be rewarded, but there must be a reason behind the rebellion, and it must be strictly investigated, the root cause must be found, and the punishment must be severely punished! β
Dai Gao lowered his head and said yes again and again, while the other ministers pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't dare to say anything. Whether it is Shandong or the northwest, at present, in addition to the emperor's Qincha, there are powerful lords in all places, and the Dakang Dynasty cannot unify the central government.
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 wealthy power valve has become a very sensitive word, and it is certain that the rich power valve should be removed, but how can it be easily removed?
Even Dai Gao didn't dare to take action easily on this issue, for fear that stealing chickens and rice would not lead to trouble!
Emperor Xinde met with the ministers today, so naturally he would not hold on to these problems, and for him, it was just taking this opportunity to distract himself and send him the hardships of cultivation. Seeing that these ministers, except for Dai Gao, were all like echoing insects, he felt bored, and said a few words hastily, which was nothing more than encouraging everyone to be conscientious, do errands seriously, serve Dakang, and serve the subjects.
These words are known to the ministers, but the same words from the emperor's mouth can still make the ministers feel different, Emperor Xinde is well versed in this, seeing a few ministers excited inexplicably, he nodded secretly in his heart, he felt that the heat was almost over, and he was about to dismiss the ministers, suddenly his heart moved, and said:
"By the way, where is Lu Qing?"
Lu Changhe walked out from behind the ministers, looked at his appearance, and hid in the most corner, not eye-catching at all. But as soon as he stood up, everyone turned their eyes to him.
There are so many ministers, the emperor only thinks of two people, the first person is Wang Shan, this person is the emperor's teacher, highly respected, and belongs to the Taidou level existence in the literary world of the Dakang Dynasty. The second minister is Lu Changhe, Lu Changhe can win the sacred heart like this, which really makes everyone envious.
"Wechen is here!" Lu Changhe is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Haha, don't be nervous, I heard that Lu Qing had a happy event and accepted a godson, hehe, this is a good thing! Tell me, what is the origin of your godson? What is the last name? Introduce me to me, let's get to know me, okay? Emperor Xinde said with interest.
Lu Changhe was secretly amused in his heart, accepting Lu Zheng as his godson was the instruction of Emperor Xinde, but now he deliberately asked, isn't this a show? The emperor is good at acting, the courtiers can only cooperate, Lu Changhe can't help but feel lucky for Lu Zheng, this kid is not unusual, it is strange that he can get the Sacred Heart, his luck is too good, this is really not easy!
"Back to the emperor, this son is a descendant of the Lu family in Jiangnan, surnamed Lu Mingzheng, and the emperor once gave him the official title of five-rank military attachΓ©. Weichen felt that this son was a material that could be made, and because he had no children under his knees, he took it under his knees......"
"Oh? Lu Zheng? Is that the Lu Zheng who went to the northwest to be a county leader? I remember that, good boy! is a talent, went to the northwest as a lifter, and was promoted to the fifth grade in just two years! Lu Qing, your vision is really poisonous, you know people, good, very good, I am very happy, very grateful!
Come on, look at the reward! What to see? Lu Qing, what do you say I will reward him? β
Lu Changhedao: "Back to the emperor, Zheng'er, this kid is now studying hard behind closed doors, preparing for next year's spring exam." Weichen feels that it is not appropriate to reward at this time, young people are easy to be proud and easy to swell, so it is better to let him keep a normal heart and prepare for the big exam with peace of mind! β
"Well, no, no, other young people are easy to be proud and easy to swell, I believe it, but I understand Lu Zheng. When he came back from the northwest, the first thing he did was to quit his official job and study, where would such a child get carried away because of a little reward? In this way, I will not reward him with a bounty or silver, but a knighthood, a second-class general! β
Emperor Xinde was determined to be rewarded, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was a second-class general, and the audience was in a commotion.
The title of the Dakang Dynasty is extremely difficult to get, except for the founding heroes and royal relatives, it is rare to get the title reward, you must know that the Lu family Lu Shanchang's grandfather of the previous generation of Lu Zheng is also a second-class general's title! Lu Zheng was able to get this title, it was really too favorable.
The officials of the Dakang Dynasty had a low income, and the nobles with the title had a high income, because the official's income was from the treasury, and the title was from the inner treasury.
The crowd was in a commotion, but no one dared to raise objections to this, Lu Zheng, who was rewarded by the emperor, was because Lu Zheng became Lu Changhe's righteous son, needless to say about the relationship between Lu Changhe and the emperor, the key is that this person still holds the Hanging Mirror Division, but whoever is an official, who is not afraid of this eerie and terrifying institution? Unless they want to die, who will offend the Hanging Mirror Division?
In this way, everyone is envious, Lu Zheng has a knighthood, and there are keen people who seem to be able to arouse a lot of associations from this matter.
The emperor likes Lu Zheng very much, Lu Zheng has a very high chance of being reused on an errand after the big exam, and this time Lu Zheng will receive more attention in the scientific examination, and for the current capital, Lu Zheng's rise has become inevitable......
