Chapter Seventy-Nine: Hand-picked Pioneers
Lu Yujian relied on his superior martial arts skills and won the champion in the martial arts examination in one fell swoop.
On this day, Lu Yujian was invited to Shui Yunxuan.
Shuiyunxuan is an important place in the capital, and it is also a place where literati and scholars in the capital like to gather, and many scholars who read poetry and books started in this Shuiyunxuan.
Although it looks small and the decoration is very shabby, because the officials of the imperial court like to go to Shui Yunxuan to choose their staff.
Once someone is selected, it is not far from him becoming an official.
Within the Celestial Empire, literati and scholars from all over the world would come to this Shuiyunxuan thousands of miles after they completed their studies.
Every day when the sky is slightly bright, you can see that the outside of Shui Yun Xuan is already overcrowded, some people have set up shelves at the door of Shui Yun Xuan, and put their own calligraphy and paintings, some people are selling the books they have written, and some people are promoting their views on the current politics of the Celestial Empire.
At the beginning, this Shui Yun Xuan was only very famous in the market, and after a long time, the fame of Shui Yun Xuan spread to the ears of the emperor.
Therefore, every time after the civil and military examination is held in the capital, after the champion is selected, the emperor will conduct the last assessment in front of this Shui Yunxuan.
Today is the day when the emperor personally went to Shui Yun Xuan to meet the two champions, because Lu Yujian has been in the deep mountains, he has never heard of the name of Shui Yun Xuan, and he does not know that there will be such a custom in the annual examination in the capital.
When the official came to the Lu Mansion to deliver a letter to himself, he just thought that this was just a ceremony to announce the results of the examination in public, and he didn't take it too seriously, and he didn't prepare at all.
Lu Yujian participated in the martial arts examination, because he didn't want to use Lu Guozheng's power, so he used a fake name, so Lu Guozheng didn't know that he went to take the examination, let alone that his son had won the martial arts championship.
After receiving the letter, Lu Yujian still did not tell Lu Guozheng the news, although this martial champion was already a sure thing, but he still wanted to tell his father after the emperor arranged a position for him.
Lu Yujian took the invitation and left the Lu Mansion, and went straight to Shui Yun Xuan, until the door of Shui Yun Xuan, he found that this Shui Yun Xuan seemed to be a little different.
At this time, Shui Yunxuan no longer had the excitement of the past, the people in the market at the gate had been emptied, and the three outer layers of the Imperial Forest Army were tightly surrounded here.
Lu Yujian was a little excited when he saw this scene not far away, he thought that he must be a big official to announce his achievements today.
He walked quickly to the entrance, and the Imperial Forest Army stopped him directly, and only let him in after Lu Yujian showed the invitation.
From the entrance to the main hall inside, a red carpet was laid all the way, and the royal guards stood guard on both sides of the red carpet, and Lu Yujian walked in the middle alone, so not majestic.
Lu Yujian walked slowly to this water and cloud room, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a person in the hall wearing a dragon robe sitting firmly in the center, and the eunuch guards surrounded him.
At this time, Lu Yujian realized that it was the emperor who let him come to Shui Yunxuan today, and he began to feel a little nervous.
"Grass people Lu Yujian knocked to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." Lu Yujian leaned over in front of the hall and said loudly.
"Pingshen, who are you?" The emperor asked.
"Xiaomin participated in this year's martial arts examination in the capital and was lucky to get the first place, so I came here today to meet Your Majesty." Lu Yujian never dared to raise his head to look at the emperor between his words.
He was a little worried that the emperor would ask about his family affairs or his place of origin at this time, after all, he was taking the entrance examination with a fictitious identity.
If you lie in front of the emperor, it is the crime of deceiving the king, and you will definitely not be able to hide your identity as Lu Guozheng's son for long.
After thinking for a while, Lu Yujian said directly, "The grass people still have something to explain to the emperor, and I hope the emperor will forgive him." ”
"Tell me about it." The emperor said sharply.
"The grass people are actually the son of Lord Lu of the current dynasty - Lu Yujian."
"You're talking about Lu Guozheng, are you Lu Guozheng's son?" When the emperor heard this, his half-lying body sat up straight, looking very stunned.
It's no wonder that the emperor was so surprised when he heard it. In his image, he never saw Lu Guozheng's son once, and at this time, Lu Guozheng was also involved in right and wrong.
"I looked at the roster, you originally said that you were a hunter on the outskirts of the capital." The emperor asked loudly.
Lu Yujian hurriedly explained, "That's true, the grass uses this fake identity in the hope that they can be treated fairly in the process of the exam, and they don't want to be favored by the examiner because of their father's relationship." ”
After hearing this, the emperor was still a little skeptical, after all, this Lu Guozheng was impeached by Song Jingchen, and the emperor didn't trust him very much, as for the people related to Lu Guozheng, he would also think a little more.
When Liu Chunyan was appointed that day, it was the same, the emperor's first reaction was also to doubt her, not believing that she could handle the matter, and finally it was her attitude that made the emperor believe her.
But this Lu Yujian suddenly said that he was Lu Guozheng's son, and Lu Guozheng had not taken his son to the palace for so many years, and when he met the emperor, he was naturally a little suspicious.
Suspicion is suspicion, but Lu Yujian's words made the emperor treat him a little differently.
Nowadays, everyone knows that there are people in the court who are good officials, but this Lu Yujian doesn't use the resources of his own family.
"I'll tell you the truth, I think there may be some moisture for you, the martial champion." The emperor said bluntly.
Wu Zhuangyuan came through the competition all the way this time, without the slightest adulteration, hearing the emperor say this, Lu Yujian was indeed a little unhappy in his heart.
"The grass people can prove to the emperor that I am worthy of this martial champion, the emperor believes that he is a master like a cloud, if the emperor allows it, please send someone to compete with the grass people at will, if I lose, I should be punished, otherwise what the emperor just said will not be able to convince the public." Lu Yujian has been in Shaolin for more than ten years, and her personality is also upright.
"Bold, dare to talk to the emperor like this." The eunuch standing next to the emperor shouted at Lu Yujian. 、
The emperor waved his hand to signal the eunuch to step back, and said with a smile, "I like such an upright character, since you have said so, I will satisfy you." ”
The emperor looked left and right and felt that this Lu Siguan seemed to be very suitable.
Lu Siguan has been in the palace for five years, and most of them are responsible for the emperor's safety, and it is needless to say that martial arts can defeat nine thousand years old by himself.
"Lord Lu, what do you think?" The emperor looked at Lu Siguan and whispered.
Lu Siguan stepped forward, looked at the emperor and said, "The minister is afraid of injuring this child by mistake, so he should send a guard to compete with him." ”
As soon as Lu Yujian entered this Shui Yun Xuan, Lu Siguan recognized him at a glance, he had seen this person in Liu Chunyan's room a few days ago, and his impression of him was not bad.
Lu Yujian, who was on the side, was a little unhappy when he heard this, looked at Lu Siguan and said, "You are afraid of hurting me, don't be too confident, after returning to Beijing, I feel that the martial arts learned by this Beijing master are like juggling, and they are useless." ”
Lu Si looked at Lu Yujian, and felt that he was full of confidence when he spoke, and he must have some ability, not to mention letting others compete with this Lu Yujian, he was also worried that he would be injured by mistake, and it would be difficult to explain to Liu Chunyan in the end.
"Okay, since you say so, then I, Lu, will be taught." Lu Siguan flew in front of Lu Yujian, and the two looked at each other.
In this Shui Yun Xuan, in front of the emperor, Lu Siguan and Lu Yujian fought each other.
Facts have proved that Lu Siguan really underestimated Lu Yujian, and after a few tricks, he found that this Lu Yujian's martial arts are really good, and his martial arts skills are very solid.
Lu Yujian can come out of Shaolin at such a young age, he must have some ability, and this time he wants to prove himself to the emperor again, and he does not dare to relax in the slightest.
Lu Siguan wanted to know how deep the martial arts of the young man in front of him was, and he began to slowly increase his strength, and began to achieve two successes, which slowly increased to seventy.
But there is still no difference between him and Lu Yujian, and it seems that this Lu Yujian still has a slight upper hand.
"It's really rare to have such a martial arts cultivation at such a young age." Lu Siguan pondered silently in his heart while hand-fighting.
In this Lu Yujian, he seemed to see that he had traveled all over the world with his master back then, and was forced by Lu Yujian to have no choice, and Lu Siguan began to use ten successful powers.
After Lu Siguan used all his strength, Lu Yujian began to be a little overwhelmed, and he had more than 30 moves before he was defeated.
After Lu Yujian was defeated, he also didn't believe his eyes, he didn't expect that there were people in this palace who were so advanced in martial arts.
In Shaolin, the most advanced senior brothers in martial arts have all been defeated by Lu Yujian, and he has never seen such a good hand as Lu Siguan reaching out.
"Lord Lu is good at martial arts, I Lu Yujian admires the five-body throw, the grass people are willing to be punished, please ask the emperor to punish him." After Lu Yujian was defeated, he took the initiative to ask the emperor for his guilt.
After Lu Si watched the battle, he hugged his fists with Lu Yujian to show friendship, and then walked straight to the emperor's side and whispered something in the emperor's ear.
The emperor immediately smiled and said loudly, "Yes, you get up." ”
Lu Yujian stood up, and he found that since the test with Lu Siguan, the emperor and Lu Siguan had been looking him up and down.
"I see that you deserve to be a martial champion, and you are waiting for the decree at home, and I will arrange it." The emperor said loudly.
"The grass people don't dare, if you want to say that it is Wu Zhuangyuan, it should be this Lord Lu, just now the grass people have already been defeated, and their skills are not as good as others." Lu Yujian looked at Lu Siguan again, and his eyes were full of admiration.
"Hahaha...... He doesn't do this martial champion, you are the martial champion I hand-picked, step down. ”
Lu Yujian saw that the emperor said this, so he had no choice but to retreat, and on the way back to Lu Mansion, he kept thinking about who this Lu Siguan was.
When Lu Yujian returned home, he asked Lu Guozheng about the identity of this Lu Siguan.
Since he didn't know the name, it took him half a day to figure out Lu Siguan's identity after describing to Lu Guozheng, and Lu Yujian wanted to try to find Lu Siguan again.
Lu Guozheng was naturally very happy about Lu Yujian's victory as a martial champion.
