Volume 1 Jinghua Smoke and Clouds (I) Chapter 23 Jinluan Palace Test
"Xuanlu ride the wind to meet you!"
The two finely carved purple and gold sandalwood doors with auspicious dragons and phoenixes immediately opened.
I saw that on the golden luan dragon chair, Emperor Jing was plump and heavy-handed, with a solemn expression, sitting upright.
The bright yellow dragon robe is embroidered with dragons in the sea. Under the immovable crown bead curtain, a pair of slender Danfeng eyes raised their eyelids from time to time to scan the four directions.
Although he is over the age of six, his white temples and the deep nasolabial folds at the corners of his mouth are like medals engraved by the empire, showing the imperial atmosphere and extraordinary instruments!
Inside the main hall, there were officials wearing black folded scarves and hats, lined up in columns.
From the entrance of the hall to the bottom of the dragon chair steps, they are dressed in green, cyan, crimson, and purple court clothes. With the dragon chair as the center, they are divided into two columns: under the left side of the dragon chair, all are civil officials, and the white pheasant, cloud goose, peacock, golden pheasant, and crane are embroidered on the court clothes on the chest; Under the right side of the dragon chair, all are military generals, and the chest court clothes are embroidered with bears, tigers, leopards, lions, and unicorns.
All the ministers were dressed in solemn attire and holding wat in both hands.
"Lu Chengfeng stepped forward to receive the order!" The father-in-law standing beside Emperor Jing swept the dust in his hand.
"See Your Majesty on the lower road by the wind, long live my emperor, long live!" Lu Chengfeng knelt down and kowtowed, and the mountain shouted.
"Excuse me! Raise your head and let me see. The beaded curtain on the crown moved slightly.
Lu Chengfeng kowtowed again, thanked him, raised his head, and got up.
"She looks handsome and delicate, but she looks like a female doll." Emperor Jing picked up the pair of slender Danfeng eyes and said.
Lu Chengfeng touched his right eyebrow awkwardly, and for a long time, he didn't know how to deal with it, so he just stood in the middle of the main hall in a daze, feeling everyone's eyes like fire and sharp swords projected on him.
Hey, I didn't use Head & Shoulders today, so why should I feel this feeling of focus. Lu Chengfeng laughed at himself in his heart.
"Your Majesty, this child has just been recalled, and once he sees the face of the sky, he must be overwhelmed by joy, and he doesn't know how to answer for a while, which can be regarded as excusable. It is better to canonize first, stay in Beijing, slowly adjust with people, and learn the etiquette of my Dajing poems and books, and then send them to the north. ”
It was His Royal Highness King Xuan, who stood up unhurriedly to help Lu Chengfeng break the siege.
"Fourth brother, I think his etiquette must be learned hard, but poetry and books, then there is no need. I heard that this son killed all sides in Tianxianglou last night, and then he won the first place in my Jiuxianju Dojo, and it has already spread in the market. ”
A voice said in a voice that was neither yin nor yang, and it didn't sound like praise or depreciation.
Oops! It's him? It's the Prince! Lu Chengfeng subconsciously clenched his fist.
"The old minister has also heard a little. The little emperor grandson was so majestic last night! It's just that this time I entered Jinghua, I went straight to the Goolan tile, and I fought with the National People's Congress for a Qinglou woman, which really lost the royal dignity! Your Majesty, it remains to be seen whether this son can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the heavenly family, and Weichen suggested that the canonization be delayed and he should be taught in the palace first. ”
A purple-robed civil official standing in the front row said with a heartfelt voice.
Lu Chengfeng didn't have to think about it to know, it must be Prime Minister Tang. The one he beat his son and the people in his house last night called it a falling flower! I don't know what kind of bad idea awaits him in a while?
Besides, with the presence of the prince, will he be like those palace fighting dramas he has watched, and reward him at every turn?
He thought about it, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Xuan, last night the old minister happened to be in Jiuxianju, and witnessed the little emperor's grandson's tongue battle group Confucianism, he is really eloquent, quick-witted, and insightful, and he is a rare talent in my Dajing!"
Old Master Xu stood up tremblingly and excitedly defended him.
"My father, my son, and my sons also think that this son can be of great use! It is advisable to enter the book as soon as possible! King Xuan said categorically.
Emperor Jing glanced at King Xuan with a smile, then at the crown prince, turned to stare at him, and said slowly:
"Your name is Lu Chengfeng, right? Come, do you dare me to take the test? If you pass the exam, you can officially be enrolled! If you can't pass the test, you will go back to stay where you come from, and you will no longer be the emperor's grandson in this life, and you will not be allowed to enter the imperial city for half a step! Do you dare? ”
Lu Chengfeng met Emperor Jing's bottomless and eagle-sharp eyes head-on, straightened his waist, stiffened his neck, raised his face high, and said, "Dare!" Take the test! I wonder what His Majesty wants to test me? ”
"Young man, what guts! Answer my three questions! Emperor Jing raised his hand slightly, turned around in the air a few times, and asked, "The first question is that it is a big country, war or non-war, what is the choice?" ”
"If a person is prepared, he will control him, and if he is unprepared, he will be controlled by others. Though the kingdom is great, the warlike will perish; Although the world is safe, it will be dangerous to forget the war! Therefore, it is the way of a great power to have both! Lu Chengfeng replied confidently.
"Good! Then let me ask you again, at the moment between our country and the northern end, war or non-war, which is the case? Emperor Jing asked.
Everyone's hearts are tight, it is related to the current situation, this yellow-haired boy in front of him, can he understand? Even if he understands, on this Jinluan Palace, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how dare he argue? If you can't answer this well, you're going to lose your head!
I only heard the young man reply unhurriedly:
"Today, if you attack a city of three miles, and a country of seven miles, you will kill more than 10,000 people, and 10,000 people will kill a lot. There are countless mourners, and the displaced people are innumerable. The dwellings are restless, the food is not timely, and the hunger is not frugal. However, Jun, Zhou; People, water also. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. It is the reason to stop the war and seek peace and peace for the people, which is the best policy for the Ming monarch! ”
After this remark, the words were shocked! saw that the young man was leisurely and complacent, with an expression of victory.
Lu Chengfeng thought to himself, the book is less hated when it is used, but fortunately, it is within the range of my previous endorsement, so he proudly raised his right eyebrow again, with a proud face.
"A good water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat!" Emperor Jing applauded, the bead curtain on the crown swayed, making his facial expression not very clear, but thinking about it, he should be very satisfied, and even a little overjoyed!
"Last question, since you said that you should sue for peace, are you willing to go to the north to negotiate peace for the sake of my people?"
"Under the willingness! As long as the northern country is willing to conclude an alliance with my Dajing and never meet each other again, even if I am broken by the wind, what is there to fear? Lu Chengfeng brushed the ground and knelt on the ground, replied predominantly, and spurted out with blood!
"Hmm." Emperor Jing nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's worthy of being my heavenly man!" Dajing subjects! He Zhixu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, prepares for the canonization ceremony. Pick an auspicious day for him and finish the ceremony as soon as possible! With that, he walked away.
"Wechen obeys!" He Zhixu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, knelt down and said.
"Long live my emperor, long live!" Another mountain cry.
Lu Chengfeng faced the saint for the first time in his life, and he passed in a trance in this mountain call. Why is the emperor different from what he watched in the TV series? Lu Chengfeng thought to himself, so he also knelt down.
