"In that case, then it would be ugly. ”

Lu Ming smiled slightly, his eyes fell on the sword test stone, and he gently raised his hand and pointed at it.

"Buzz!"

A crisp and loud sound sounded, and the dragon sword flashed out, slashing on the sword test stone in an instant, and the flames were everywhere, leaving a sword mark.

Pu Ke's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Four feet long, five inches deep, the power is equivalent to a university scholar!"

"How is that possible!"

Yan Cong's face changed in shock, and he looked at Lu Ming in disbelief, almost unable to believe his eyes.

There are no witty words, no poems to become soldiers, it is incredible that the power of the spirit sword itself can leave such traces.

At this time, even Yan Kun's expression changed, and it was difficult to remain calm anymore.

"This is Lu Zhenguo's spirit sword, how can it be so powerful?"

"It's equivalent to a university scholar, fake, isn't it? Even if you borrow Wenbao, it's impossible to improve the talent of a scholar!"

"Although there is only one degree difference between Hanlin and the university scholar, the gap is far away, how did Lu Ming do it?"

Many people who read the book talked about it and felt very incredible.

Lu Ming withdrew the spirit sword and returned to his seat, his face as usual.

"Next. Pu Ke said.

Immediately afterward, the next scholar went up to try the sword, but only a sword mark of less than a foot was left.

Many scholars tried the sword one after another, and it was not until everyone left traces on the sword test stone that Pu Ke announced the end.

Afterwards, the two Confucian scholars and Liang Jun discussed in a whisper, and many scholars waited respectfully.

After a long time, Liang Jun wrote the holy decree and ordered someone to read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the monarch's edict said: Today's palace test, hand-picked Lu Ming as the first name of the champion of Liang State, Yan Cong is the first and first, Gu Feng Tanhua and the first ......"

Then it was announced that some scholars who had passed the Beijing examination could enter the temple and be officially promoted to Hanlin.

The next step was to appoint Hanlin to an official position, either to stay in Beijing or to send him to various places.

"Your Excellency, the minister has something to do. ”

Yan Kun said suddenly: "Lu Zhenguo is very talented, he deserves to serve in the court, there is a vacancy in the imperial history under the minister, and it is very suitable to come to Lu Zhenguo." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the officials changed, whether they were happy or worried.

Lu Ming's face sank, he didn't believe that Yan Kun would be so kind to introduce him to the official position, and he wanted to find an opportunity to suppress himself.

If he served under his command, I don't know how many disputes it would cause, and it would definitely be a mess and difficult to clean up.

"This ......", Liang Jun also showed displeasure.

Yang Xiuyuan stood up and said: "Lu Ming is both civil and military, if he is in the imperial history of the dynasty, it will be overkill, I think Lu Ming should be under the command of my Zhenzhou army, and in time he can inherit the Zhenzhou army." ”

"What did you say!"

Yan Kun's eyes were cold, and when he heard Yang Xiuyuan's meaning, it seemed that he wanted Lu Ming to inherit everything from him.

"No!"

An official immediately said: "The minister thinks that Lu Ming is too young to be reused for the time being, and he should start by governing a county." ”

"Fart!"

A military general said loudly: "Put away your humble face, Lu Ming is a god-given scholar, the champion of the Liang State, his future achievements are immeasurable, and the governance of small counties is useless, so he should stay in Beijing to serve." ”

"Small counties can't be governed, how will you govern the country if you become a scholar in the future?" the official scoffed.

"It is not difficult to govern a county, and there are many new Hanlin people present, and there will definitely be more suitable candidates. ", the general retorted.

"I'm still young, I'm still young, I'm not going to be useful!"

"Zhenzhou University Shiwen can govern Yanzhou, and Wu can train the army, he is Lu Ming's best teacher, and he should be an official under his command. ”

Many officials discussed fiercely for many reasons, even with Liang Jun's patience.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Liang Jun drank clearly, and the civil and military officials immediately closed their mouths, not daring to say more.

"You don't have to argue, and listen to what Lu Ming means. ”

Liang Jun then said to Lu Ming: "Lu Zhenguo, do you have any better ideas?"

Lu Ming immediately said: "I am willing to serve and study under the command of Zhenzhou University Scholars, please fulfill your honor." ”

"Okay, then do as you say. Liang Jun nodded directly in agreement.

"Thank you. Lu Ming thanked.

The officials of the Shoufu Party were immediately extremely disappointed and cast a fierce gaze at Yang Xiuyuan.

"Your Majesty, don't do it!", Mu Qinghong shook his head and said.

Liang Jun's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Mr. Mu, what do you think?"

Mu Qinghong said: "Your Majesty, although Lu Ming is already in the position of Hanlin, he is still young, and he is afraid that becoming an official too early will cause a lot of right and wrong. ”

"Sir, please. Liang Jun said.

"Liang Jun can recommend Lu Ming to study in the Palace of National Studies, and when he is successful in his studies or becomes a scholar, he will be appointed to a suitable official position. ”

"Enter the National School Palace?!", Liang Jun's eyes suddenly lit up.

Lu Ming was stunned, almost thinking that he had misheard.

The Palace of National Studies is a sacred place of learning with a higher status than the state, second only to the Holy Academy, and can only be entered on the recommendation of the monarch or a respected Confucian scholar.

In the entire Liang Kingdom, except for Yan Cong, who is a student of the Guoxue Palace, there are only a handful of scholars who can go to the Academy Palace for further study, almost no more than a hundred.

And those more than 100 people are all talents in the Liang Kingdom, and if they return to the Liang Kingdom in the future, the imperial court will be reused.

Lu Ming never wanted to go to the Guoxue Palace, he just wanted to assist the fourth prince Zhuang Yusheng with Yang Xiuyuan after achieving Hanlin, and now the Confucian students of the Guoxue Palace personally recommended him to study in the Guoxue Palace, which was like a pie in the sky.

But it's also reasonable to think about it, because Lu Ming is only sixteen years old, and he will be seventeen years old after the New Year, and he has achieved Hanlin at the age of seventeen, which is one of the few in the past.

In time, it is not impossible to enter the realm of Confucianism, let alone become a scholar.

Mu Qinghong can be said to have a long-term vision, this move can not only solve the disputes within the court, but also allow Lu Ming to continue to study.

The face of the officials of the Shoufu Party was ugly, if Lu Ming was allowed to go to the Guoxue Palace, he would definitely become their confidant in the future.

Find a way to stop it?

Obviously, it is impossible, although the power of the first and auxiliary parties is tilted towards the government and the opposition, but the monarch is the monarch after all, as long as the monarch is true to his word, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot stop it.

"Lu Ming, would you like to go to the Guoxue Palace?" asked Liang Jun.

"This ......", Lu Ming was cautious, and still didn't dare to make a rash decision.

Yang Xiuyuan looked at Lu Ming and quietly signaled to him.

Lu Ming nodded lightly, and said with determination: "Even if it is the order of the king, the students should obey it." ”

"Good!"

Liang Jun was very satisfied with this, and said with a smile: "There must be no mistake in passing on the decree that Lu Ming, the champion of the Liang Kingdom, will enter the Guoxue Palace after the fifteenth day of the first month of next year." ”

"The students obeyed. Lu Ming said respectfully.

Many scholars immediately cast envious and jealous glances at Lu Ming, and they really wished that it was not him who could go to the Guoxue Palace, but himself.

"You are the champion of the Liang Kingdom, if you enter the Guoxue Palace as a fourth-grade Wenjue, it will inevitably lose your identity, I have decided to promote you to the state Wenhou, from the third-grade title. ”

"What?Zhou Wenhou?", everyone's faces changed in shock.
