Chapter 385: The Imperial Front
Before I knew it, it was April, and nothing had happened to the court for a month, and everything seemed peaceful. The officials seem to be diligent in their political affairs, and the lives of the people seem to have improved somewhat.
In the Forbidden City, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a smile on his face, wearing a dragon robe under the service of Wang Chengen, and it could be seen that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was in a good mood. Glancing back at Wang Chengen, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "How is it?" Are they all here? ”
"Back to the emperor, they are all waiting outside!" Wang Chengen replied respectfully, with some expectation on his face.
Nodding slowly, today is the Emperor of the Apocalypse receiving the rìzi of the new Kejinshi. Although there were palace tests and Qionglin banquets in the past, these people may not have seen what the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked like. However, there are not many people who came today, the three Jinshi of the first class, and a few people from the second class, all of whom were just ordered by Hanlin Editor, and there was also the new branch of the Shu Jishi. These people can be said to be really the proud sons of heaven and the representatives of the dragon gate.
In the duty room not far away, several people were waiting respectfully, although they were all talking and laughing, but their faces were a little apprehensive. The ages of these people are uneven, some are already very old, and the representative of them is Wen Zhenmeng, the champion of the new department, who is already forty-six years old.
Ten imperial examinations in the past 30 years, Wen Zhenmeng's qi cultivation kung fu is not comparable to ordinary people, and his firmness of will is even more difficult for most people to match. On the other hand, the twenty-eight-year-old Ni Yuanlu is a representative of young people, who can be named on the twenty-eight-year-old gold list and rank among the top three, which will definitely be rumored to be a good story in this era. However, the most eye-catching thing is not Ni Yuanlu, but Lu Xiangsheng, who is only twenty-one years old, is really young.
These three people have an excellent relationship, and they are both in the same subject and top three, and they are widely spread in Beijing.
"Brother Ni, I am summoned by the emperor today, I don't know what to say!" Looking at Ni Yuanlu, Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile.
Everyone in the room was stunned, this was something that everyone wanted to know, but they couldn't say it. It is naturally very important to figure out the holy will, but how can this kind of thing be brought to the table?
Ni Yuanlu frowned slightly, smiled indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "Being able to have the opportunity to listen to the hadith is naturally a blessing for us, which is not envied by outsiders!" Saying that, Ni Yuanlu glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, obviously not wanting to say this again.
Sighing softly and shaking his head, Lu Xiangsheng could naturally understand what Ni Yuanlu meant, so he didn't say anything. Wen Zhenmeng, who was on the side, saw Lu Xiangsheng's appearance, walked over and patted Lu Xiangsheng's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Virtuous brother, everyone has their own ambitions, and my brother knows the ambition in your heart." Today's meeting with the emperor is an opportunity, what can I say to the emperor, for my brother, I believe that the emperor can understand. ”
Looking at Wen Zhenmeng in surprise, seeing that his gaze was sincere, Lu Xiangsheng nodded vigorously. From the bottom of his heart, Lu Xiangsheng is not willing to be a Hanlin editor, although the Ming Dynasty has a saying that non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet, but Lu Xiangsheng has no interest in entering the cabinet.
In his opinion, the problem of the Ming Dynasty is at the border, and he has been deeply influenced by his father since he was a child, and Lu Xiangsheng has always wanted to build a border work. Moreover, his parents died at the border pass, and as the so-called national hatred and family hatred, he had no intention of raising hope in the capital, and just wanted to join the border immediately. Seeing that Wen Zhenmeng understood him, his heart suddenly warmed, and he nodded at Wen Zhenmeng, and his heart was more determined in his thoughts.
No one was talking, each thinking about their own thoughts, and looking outside from time to time, but there was no anxious look on their faces.
"Ladies and gentlemen, come with us!" Chen Lin walked in slowly, looked at a few people with a smile, and said with a hint of respect on his face. These are the proud sons of heaven, and they can't be offended!
Everyone stood up, tidied up their clothes, and followed Chen Lin forward. didn't go far, and a few people were brought into the warm pavilion of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
"Ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" As if they had rehearsed, several people lifted their clothes and knelt down, and their speech was uniform.
Looking at the few people kneeling below, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded with a smile, and said in a soft tone: "Get up!" Today is not the first time I have met you, so don't be restrained! ”
After thanking him, a few people stood up, but Ni Yuanlu and the three of them had a trace of doubt, why did the emperor's voice seem to have heard it somewhere? After standing up straight, several people raised their heads in unison, and when they saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse sitting behind the Dragon Book Case, several people were all stunned.
Looking at a few people with a smile, the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally understood the surprise of a few people, but this is not the time to talk about this. After a deep sigh, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "You are all the future of the Ming Dynasty, do things well, I will not treat you badly!" ”
"Thank you!" Several people all bowed down and saluted, with joy on their faces, and it was already a great honor to be received by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
"Lu Xiangsheng!" Turning his gaze on Lu Xiangsheng's body, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice.
Bowing down and giving a salute, Lu Xiangsheng said respectfully: "The minister is here!" ”
"The others may be fine, but I see you today!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse stared at Lu Xiangsheng and said.
"Although the emperor commands, the ministers should know everything!" Lu Xiangsheng suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart, he just saw that the person sitting behind the dragon book case was someone he knew, and at this time, when he heard the Emperor of the Apocalypse say this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart!
Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng's face remained unchanged at all, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded slightly and said, "Your father Lu Feng is a hero of the Ming Dynasty, and he would rather die than give in, but he is a model for his ministers. I pity you very much, I wanted to promote you, but I didn't want people to think that you were reused because of your grace, so I waited until after the imperial examination. I hope you don't think that your parents who don't pay attention to the imperial court, your parents died for the Ming Dynasty, died for me, and died as they deserved! ”
Picking up his clothes and kneeling on the ground, Lu Xiangsheng said in a trembling voice: "The emperor's love and affection, the minister's feelings are five!" ”
Everyone present looked at Lu Xiangsheng, and there were not many people who knew Lu Xiangsheng's life, but they didn't expect there to be such a story.
"Your father had an old man who wanted to take you as an apprentice, but he was not in Beijing now, so he entrusted this matter to me. I hope that after your imperial examination, I will make this matter public, and today I want to tell you about it! The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't let Lu Xiang rise, and continued.
"I don't know who my father's old friend is?" Lu Xiangsheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned for a moment, and said with a slight surprise in his tone. He still knows a little about his father, but he really doesn't know what kind of old friend can be entrusted to the emperor.
Frowning and thinking about it, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said slowly: "You should have heard of this person, he is the teacher of the former emperor and me, Mr. Sun Chengzong!" "The Emperor of the Apocalypse did not call Sun Chengzong's official position, but only mentioned the identity of the teacher, and the meaning is self-evident.
These people were stunned, who doesn't know Sun Chengzong's Daming? Being able to worship under his door is something that many people can't ask for, and Lu Xiangsheng is no exception. However, unlike others, Lu Xiangsheng is not for the identity of this teacher, but because of Sun Chengzong's talent for side affairs, it is really exciting to be able to listen to the teachings by his side.
"Since it is a good friend of my father, the minister himself has nothing to say!" Lu Xiangsheng was not pretentious, and said respectfully.
"That's good, get up! In the future, we will also be regarded as teachers and disciples, don't hold our own identity, and don't do anything inappropriate. Be honest and don't live up to the expectations of me and Mr. Sun! The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a serious face and instructed.
Lu Xiangsheng saluted and said resolutely: "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers must stick to their hearts and dare not slack off!" ”
"Your Majesty, Xiong Wencan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asks to see you!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to say something, but Chen Lin strode in and said respectfully.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was slightly stunned, pondered for a long time, and said, "You all go back!" Do things well, Lu Xiangsheng stays! ”
After thanking the en, a few people walked out, looking at Lu Xiangsheng with a complicated gaze, obviously envious.
After a short time, Xiong Wencai walked in under the leadership of Chen Lin, picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said: "Xiong Wencan, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, long live the martial emperor who participated in the construction of the army, long live the martial emperor!" ”
Laughing and waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse commanded: "Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, I don't know what to tell me?" Before Xiong Wencan could speak, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled again and said, "Lu Xiangsheng, I've seen Lord Xiong!" ”
"Hanlin edited Lu Xiangsheng, I've seen Lord Xiong!" Lu Xiangsheng knew that this was the Emperor of the Apocalypse who promoted himself, and respectfully bowed to Xiong Wencan.
"I can't do it, I can't do it! Master Lu was in high school at a young age, and now he has done Hanlin editing, which is enough to make the old man embarrassed! Xiong Wencan also noticed that in addition to the difference, the Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to attach great importance to this person, and Lu Xiangsheng was supported by him as soon as he bent over.
Looking at this scene, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Xiong Aiqing, Lu Aiqing has been accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Sun, and he will be my fellow disciple in the future, you have to take care of it!" ”
Xiong Wencan was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Xiangsheng, and said in his heart: This is amazing! has the emperor's attention, and is Sun Chengzong's apprentice. His ability is not too bad, and his future must be limitless! Speaking again, the new leader, this ability is not bad, it seems that this is a new star in the Ming officialdom!
"This is natural, the emperor's fellow disciples, and the ministers are naturally a lot of help!" Xiong Wencan looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile and nodded lightly at him.
"What's the matter with Aiqing?" Seeing that it was almost over, the Emperor of the Apocalypse shifted his thoughts to the main matter again, and since Xiong Wencan came, he naturally had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
Xiong Wencan's face also became serious, and he saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the matter of Wuju is almost over, and thirty people have been selected!" (To be continued.) )
