Chapter 63: The Emperor's Doubts

Besides, after Lu Wenxin, the squire of the military department, left the restaurant, he carefully recalled that he met Li Xiang and others on the drunken night floor, and saw the iron musket, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Li Xiang's iron musket was extraordinary, and it was necessary to meet the emperor and bring the matter to the emperor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In order to avoid a long night of dreams, Lu Wenxin immediately submitted the fold through a secret channel, he thought that the emperor would definitely pay great attention to this matter, and sure enough, as soon as the fold was handed over for a while, the chamberlain came to inform the emperor to announce his entry into the palace.

Lu Wen was also nervous in his confidence, after all, Li Xiang had said that the musket could not be manufactured in batches, and if the emperor finally found out that this matter was just a bamboo basket for water, he would become a dissatisfied minister in the emperor's heart.

Under the guidance of the chamberlain, Lu Wenxin entered the emperor's imperial study, only to see that Emperor Lizong was sitting on the desk to review the folds, Lu Wenxin hurriedly rushed forward, and shouted long live while bowing!

Emperor Lizong raised his head and said with a smile: "Lu Aiqing, please get up!" Sit down and talk! ”

Lu Wenxin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare!" It's good for Weichen to stand and reply! ”

Emperor Lizong was no longer reluctant, nodded and said: "Okay, I have already seen the excerpt presented by Aiqing, you said that today I met several prisoners of the Guozijian in the drunken night building, one of them is called Li Xiang, this Li Xiang also took out an iron musket, but is this really the case?" ”

Lu Wenxin bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is true!" That Li Xiang also had a dispute with Shangguan Yuan, the son of Shangguan Hong, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and Weichen saw that Li Xiang took out a musket from his arms in order to save the performing woman, and scared away Shangguan Yuan and his men, and later Weichen also asked that Li Xiang, why not pay tribute to the court with the method of making muskets, and add a sharp weapon to my Great Song Army, but that Li Xiang told Weichen that the iron musket could not be manufactured in batches, but it was only said that it was too complicated, Weichen thought, such a good thing must not be let go because of this, so Weichen dared to go on the fold, Look at the emperor's wisdom. ”

Emperor Lizong laughed and said, "I believe in you! Because of that Li Xiang, I have also called it, and this son is indeed very intelligent, first invented the flush toilet, and then proposed the toilet revolution, I don't know if this supervision test, has it been selected? ”

When Lu Wenxin saw the emperor asking, he hurriedly replied: "Qijuan Guanjia, that Li Xiang and the other three prison students, today is the drunken night building that came to celebrate the passing of the prison examination, it seems that the prison student named Li Xiang won the third place in the exam!" ”

Emperor Lizong's eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light, and a smile appeared on his face: "If that's the case, it seems that I haven't looked away!" If this son is cultivated, he will definitely be able to become the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty! It's just that if the musket is really as magical and powerful as Aiqing said, it would be a pity if it couldn't be used by the imperial court! It seems that I have to summon that Li Xiang this time, and let him sacrifice this thing no matter what. Lu Aiqing, go back, I already have a plan! ”

Lu Wenxin saw that the emperor was really interested in this matter, and he was relieved, so that he could at least get a name for recommendation, and if the musket shined in the future, he would also have his credit in it.

"Yes, Weichen retires! Long live the emperor, long live, long live! Lu Wenxin lowered his head and retreated.

Emperor Lizong stood up, stretched his waist, and thought of the situation when he saw Li Xiang at the beginning, he couldn't help but show a smile, and actually said to himself: "Li Xiang, Li Xiang, where are you sacred, I can't see through you more and more, I hope your appearance can make some changes in the Great Song Dynasty!" That musket, I'm going to be decided, hehe! ”

Let's say that Li Xiang entered the house, and his father Li Kang was also very happy, after all, Li Xiang unexpectedly took the Tanhua exam, which was far beyond Li Kang's expectations, you must know that in the country where there are many talents, to be able to take the third place in the exam, that is not something that ordinary people can do! Although Li Xiang also worshipped a famous teacher, and he was still Wang Yisun, a doctor of Guozijian, Li Kang believed that it was impossible for Wang Yisun to show favoritism, that is to say, Li Xiang was really a real deal, how could Li Kang not be happy? If it is according to this view, if nothing else, Li Xiang will definitely be able to be a jinshi next year, and if he is a jinshi, he can really be an official, and most of the first-class jinshi can be officials to the prime minister, even if he is a third-class jinshi, he can also be a seven- or eight-grade official, and the future future will definitely be much greater than himself.

Indeed, in the Song Dynasty, Jinshi was divided into three classes: the first class was called Jinshi and so on; The second class is called Jinshi origin; The third class is given to the same Jinshi background. After taking the palace examination, there is no need to go through the official examination, and the official is directly conferred. After the palace examination, it is divided into three top rankings, and the ceremony of the emperor announcing the ranking of the Dengke Jinshi will be held, and the banquet will be given in Qiongyuan, so it is called the Qionglin banquet. These are all things that can glorify the ancestors, how can Li Kang not look forward to that day! At that time, the father and son will be officials in the same dynasty, and I don't know how many people will be envied!

Li Kang looked Li Xiang up and down again, and said excitedly: "Xiang'er, I'm really happy for you to be a father!" This time, I took the third place in the Chinese sub-supervisor, and the hope of being admitted to the Jinshi next year has greatly increased! ”

Miss Yuru also chimed in: "Yes, yes! Uncle Li is right, Brother Li, Yuru is also waiting for the day when you will be named on the gold list! ”

After that, the little girl lowered her head shyly, just tugging at the corner of her clothes with Xiaoyu, and didn't dare to look at Li Xiang. Who in the audience doesn't understand the meaning!

Li Xiang also knows that once he enters high school, there will be many wealthy families on the day of the list, vying to choose the first scholar as his son-in-law, the scene is simply a robbery, and the market calls it a son-in-law, even Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng expressed this meaning in the poem: "The rich family does not need to sell the good land, there are thousands of millets in the book; There is no need to erect high beams for the house, and there is a golden house in the book; Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book; Don't hate to go out, there are many cars and horses in the book; The boy wants to fulfill his life's aspirations, and the six classics are read in front of the window. ”

There is also a story in history, there is a seventy-year-old man who won the Jinshi, and soon someone came to propose marriage, and the old man did not refuse, but made a poem, two of which are "The matchmaker asked Yu Age, forty years ago and thirty-three." "It can be seen how popular it will be after winning the Jinshi.

Li Xiang smiled bitterly: "Father, this time the child is just lucky, it's hard to say whether he can be a jinshi next year!" However, today, the child and a few classmates and friends went to the drunken house to drink, but they encountered an incident. ”

Li Kang said suspiciously: "Oh, Xiang'er, tell me quickly, what is the matter?" ”

Li Xiang told all the things he met today, Xin'er, Lu Wenxin and that Shangguan Yuan, of course, he used the wasp drone to monitor Song Yu behind Xin'er, but he didn't say it, because he was afraid that if he said it, his father would worry. However, the matter of the musket cannot be hidden, and Li Xiang also said it 1510.

After listening to Li Xiang's account, Li Kang said in surprise: "Xiang'er, when did you get a musket, why didn't you know it for your father?" Although you have done a good job today, as soon as you take out the musket, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble! By the way, take out the musket and show it to your father! ”
