After Zhao Ji, who was in a good mood in Song Huizong, returned to the palace, he directly summoned Liu Zhenglong in the Longde Palace.

On the way to the audience, Liang Shicheng stopped Liu Zhenglong, and the old fox said mysteriously: "When you meet the officials, don't be impatient, don't blindly show yourself, but you must show your talent." Don't be too literate, you must grasp the psychology of the official. For a long time, the biggest dream of the official family is to be like Taizu and Taizong, do you know what I mean? ”

"The villain understands." Liu Zhenglong said in his heart, Lao Tzu has crossed over, that is so happy, the self-righteous Song Huizong doesn't just want to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and wants Mount Tai to seal Zen, Lao Tzu definitely knows more than you, an old fox.

Liang Shicheng likes Liu Zhenglong, a kid on the road, such a person can grasp it in his hands for his own use, it is definitely a hundred times stronger than those righteous sons, in the eyes of this old fox, there is use value, no matter how far away people can also be close, people who have no use value, even their own nephews, will not take a second look.

The palace of the Song Dynasty was too small, and it was not luxurious, at most it was described as exquisite, which was very different from the Forbidden City in later generations, but despite this, Liu Zhenglong, who entered the palace for the first time, would have lost his way if he had not been led by a eunuch. This guy stuffed fifty pieces of treasure money into the little eunuch's hand, which made the little eunuch very happy, and also took the initiative to say the emperor's preferences, so that Liu Zhenglong could pay more attention to the details when dealing with it.

When Liu Zhenglong entered the Longde Palace, he kept his head half-bowed, for fear that he would lose his manners, and after arriving at the position designated by the eunuch, he saluted and said, "The student greets Your Majesty." ”

"Get up and talk." Song Huizong Zhao Ji has very high requirements for the demeanor of the officials below, although it cannot be said that every official is a beautiful man, but at least he who is not good looking can not get into the eyes of the law. He looked Liu Zhenglong up and down for a long time and said, "Qing family, you have merit in capturing traitors, what reward do you want?" Say it, I promise you. ”

"Defending the family and the country and defending Your Majesty is the obligation of every citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, and students do not ask for rewards." Liu Zhenglong paused, secretly glanced at Song Huizong and said: "The student has been stumbling for many years, and he has not met a famous teacher to study, and he has always wanted to learn thin gold body, but His Majesty has worked hard for the Jiangshan Society, and there are many opportunities for the student, and the student does not dare to expect to be able to study with His Majesty, so he only asks for a piece of calligraphy, and he can copy it when he goes back to copy it, and he can reach one ten-thousandth of His Majesty, and it is also the student's ancestor to accumulate virtue." ”

Song Huizong Zhao Ji saw that Liu Zhenglong was sleek, but he didn't mind at all, after all, he was too dull in officialdom, how could he make a difference? The group of old foxes in the political affairs hall, which one is not a human spirit, and which one is not scheming.

Liu Zhenglong saw that Song Huizong did not react, so he said: "The student originally liked to dance with knives and guns, and did not like to read, and he did not enter the school since he was a child, and he has never had a master, so the font is particularly sloppy. ”

"Really? How did I hear that you are good at business, and you toss out a lot of new things, like what clotted fat, charming incense, moon shadow white, Wanyan in the same cup. I don't know, what are you going to give me an apprenticeship when you see me? ”

Since ancient times, apprenticeship is indispensable, even in the face of the emperor, being a protégé of the Son of Heaven is no exception. Song Huizong opened his mouth to worship the teacher, that is, he really accepted this disciple, that is to say, from this moment on, Liu Zhenglong is the protégé of the Son of Heaven in the true sense.

Liu Zhenglong had already prepared, he took out a small box of delicate sandalwood from his arms, handed it to the little eunuch and said, "Your Majesty, if you open it and take a look, you will definitely understand the good intentions of the students." ”

After opening the sandalwood box, there was a mirror inside, and it was the first time for Song Huizong Zhao Ji to see himself so clearly, he had always looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and he was not clear in the water. It was the first time in the world that it was so clear, and this time the art emperor was shocked, and he didn't react for a long time.

"Good, good, good, it's just a little small, if it's big, it's perfect." Song Huizong Zhao Ji likes this small mirror very much, he doesn't know what material this mirror is made of, but he knows that it is much clearer than the copper mirror, and he really can't put it down.

"The big ones are being made, and the students want to give them."

Liu Zhenglong's meaning is very clear, this mirror is operated by the imperial merchants, this is the real apprenticeship, and I believe that Song Huizong Zhao Ji will like it.

Sure enough, Song Huizong showed a satisfied smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "Since you are my disciple, then I will test your talent, I heard that you are good at filling in words, so let's break the pattern." ”

"Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp. Eight hundred miles under the command, fifty strings turned over the outside sound. Autumn soldiers on the battlefield. The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor white happens! ”

"At a young age, nothing pitiful has happened in vain." Song Huizong liked this poem very much, he read it twice, wrote it himself, and asked the little eunuch to hand it to Liu Zhenglong and said: "This picture will be given to you, I don't know if what you say in your mouth is the king's world, whether it means something, if you can say my heart, there is a heavy reward." ”

Liu Zhenglong pondered for a moment and then said: "Since the Later Jin Shi Jingjiao dedicated the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Khitan, the Central Plains region has lost horse farms, and it has also lost the barrier lower than the attack of the northern nomads. The recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun should refer to His Majesty's world affairs, and I don't know if what the student said is right. ”

"Be smart. This word is considered to be fooled by you, and then there is a poem, the title, and the artistic conception are self-determined. "Song Huizong can see that this Liu Zhenglong should not have entered the school and has not received a systematic education, but he is just a little smart. However, such people are good, without the fancy intestines of those literati, they should respect the imperial power more, rather than the so-called scholars and doctors sharing the world.

Although the Great Song Dynasty was a world of scholars and doctors, the struggle between the prime minister and the imperial power never stopped. The official family not only depends on the scholar group, but also fears the scholar group all the time, the consequence of this kind of struggle for power is that people like Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Mian and others are more liked by Song Huizong, of course, Liu Zhenglong can also be regarded as entering the official family, as for the future, it depends on personal creation.

Liu Zhenglong said without thinking: "The sunset is ruthless and the most affectionate, urging thousands of trees and cicadas to sing at dusk." It sounded like it was close at hand, but it was silent. ”

"Yes, very good, especially this sentence of sunset ruthlessness is the most affectionate." Song Huizong was in a good mood, and he said: "I will crown you as Xuande Lang, and as for your specific officials, let's wait for the palace to try it." ”

"Thank you, Lord Long."

When he walked out of the palace, Liu Zhenglong didn't know what the situation of Xuandelang was, but he just knew that the protégé of the Son of Heaven indicated that the imperial examination had become a process, at least no matter how bad it was, he would be able to participate in the palace examination and the Jinmingchi imperial banquet.

Liu Zhenglong didn't know what Xuan Delang's situation was, but it didn't mean that others didn't know either, at least Liu Mingjun knew, and this guy was dumbfounded when he heard it.

"Isn't it just a little Xuandelang, is it necessary for you to be so excited?" Liu Zhenglong didn't know why Liu Mingjun was so shocked, he looked back at Pan Feng and Pan Yue, and then said, "In the eyes of the two of you, this Xuandelang shouldn't be nothing." ”

Pan Yue shook his head and said: "The Great Song Dynasty has always been a civil official who controls the five senses, although I am already from the fifth grade, but I still can't catch up with you, the Xuande Lang of the seventh grade." Of course, you only have such an official now, and you can't say what kind of bad official you are, so there is no one better than whom. However, you haven't participated in the imperial examination yet, and you don't have the ancestral Yinde, and the Zhengqipin is already extremely powerful. ”

It is the same as saying it and not saying it, there is no difference, Liu Zhenglong's eyes were aimed at Pan Feng, and he wanted to know how this from the sixth grade Feng Zhilang, the Weapons Young Inspector would explain this piece.

Pan Feng knew that he couldn't hide, he said with a smile: "Shouldn't we talk while drinking, the wine worms in my stomach are about to come out, hurry up and take out Wan Yan's cup." ”

"yes, let's talk while we drink." Liu Mingjun was suppressed, but he still knew some of the Taoism in it, but he didn't want to show off in front of Pan Feng and Pan Yue.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Pan Feng put down the wine glass and said: "Generally speaking, the champion is the eighth grade or the seventh grade, and the actual official is determined according to the importance of the imperial court and the background of the background. Generally speaking, Jinshi and the first are all nine grades, from eight grades. Don't underestimate this grade, in my dynasty, it has always been a low-level post with real power, and it is a practical thing, and a high-ranking position is often a vacant position, and there is no real power. ”

Liu Mingjun continued: "You haven't participated in the Jinshi and the first, you are directly in the seventh grade, to put it bluntly, it is higher than the future champion, I am afraid this is not just the protégé of the Son of Heaven, it should be related to your rescue this time." ”

When it came to rescuing the driver, Liu Zhenglong remembered a lot of things, and he asked: "That Tong Yansi, how is Gao Yanei, by the way, didn't Gao Yu send someone to rescue him?" ”

"Haha, it's so funny." Pan Yue said: "Ah Long, you don't know that this time Gao Yu is so big that he has the courage to send the forbidden army to the Imperial City Division to save people. As a result, Shan Yanqi was arrested on the spot. However, Tong Yansi and Gao Yanei have no big problems, but Gao Yan was fined for one year and demoted by one level. ”

The assassination time will definitely continue to ferment, and it will definitely not end without a beginning or an end, but in which direction it will go, Liu Zhenglong can't be sorted out for a while.
