"I don't know if I can create this legend, but I'm definitely going to work towards it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info", Lu Ming replied.

In the past 100 years, there are very few people who can pass the four imperial examinations in one go.

After completing the Beijing examination, the literary position can reach Hanlin, and if you hold a position in the imperial court, you will be able to eat and drink spicy food, and you will have no worries about food and clothing.

"I still have a lot of faith in you. Liang Jun said with a smile.

Lu Ming sighed: "It's about to be the time of the government exam, I should go back to Shaoming Mansion as soon as possible to prepare, but I'm worried that I will waste a lot of time reviewing because of this." ”

"It doesn't matter, I can make an exception and allow you to try it in the Jingzhou Mansion. ”

"Jingzhou?", Lu Ming was stunned.

Liang Jun nodded: "In fact, in Jingzhou, there are also many scholars from other places who come here to take the imperial examination, because the imperial examination in Jingzhou is relatively strict, and the officials who review the papers are also very fair, if you don't dislike it, you can go to the imperial examination in Fucheng, which is not far from Jingzhou City." ”

Lu Ming was immediately overjoyed, got up and saluted: "Thank you Liang Juncheng!"

"No, no, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to stick to these etiquette. ”

Liang Jun waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "There is one more thing, I have already thought of rewarding you, tomorrow morning, you and Yang Aiqing and other generals will come to Jinluan Hall as representatives of the Suzhou Army, and I will reward the officers and soldiers of the Suzhou Army for their merits in front of hundreds of civil and military officials." ”

"Yes, thank you!", Lu Ming saluted again.

"I've had a lot of communication with you today, and I've gained something, and I'll give you another treasure. ”

Liang Jun said as he took out a palm-sized gold medal and handed it to Lu Ming.

"Your Majesty, this is ......"

Lu Ming looked down and saw the word "death-free" on the gold medal, and his face suddenly changed in shock, "It's a death-free gold medal!"

Liang Jun said solemnly: "As long as you hold the gold medal of avoiding death, no matter how much sin you commit, you can be spared death, it is a life-saving treasure, but it can only be used once, I hope you can make good use of this thing." ”

Lu Ming understood what Liang Jun meant, since ancient times, there have been many scholars who have been beheaded on trumped-up charges because they offended the local government, causing the country to lose talents.

Therefore, there is an object of "gold medal for avoiding death", if a scholar is wronged for "unwarranted", he can use this object to avoid death, and can petition the Holy House to rehabilitate him.

However, the "gold medal for avoiding death" is a life-saving treasure, and the officials who own it are basically used as family heirlooms, so that future generations can avoid death even if they make a big mistake.

Therefore, the appearance of the "gold medal for avoiding death" has made some ministers fearless and even more unscrupulous in secretly harming the people.

However, in the last hundred years, the number of "death-free gold medals" has been strictly restrained, and a country can only place six death-free gold medals issued by the Holy Academy, and one gold medal can only save one life, and it can only be used once.

After using the Death-Free Gold Medal, it will be recycled by the Holy Temple, and it will take a year before it can be reissued.

The value of this thing is actually not big, but it is not small, and it can only be used to save ordinary people from dying, so it can only save a human life.

But if it is used properly, it can save one person from death, and it can be exchanged for the blessing of the world.

The key is to see whose hands the gold medal is in and what kind of people are saved.

Lu Ming solemnly put this thing away and said, "Please rest assured, Xiaosheng will definitely make good use of this thing for the benefit of the people." ”

"Your "Summer Quatrain" is amazing, although it criticizes the imperial court, but the poem has become a town, can you send this poem to me?"

"The king's order, Xiaosheng must obey it. ”

Lu Ming immediately took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the Qiankun bag, and quickly wrote a "Summer Quatrain", and respectfully handed it to Liang Jun.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Liang Jun read with satisfaction: "Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost." So far, I think of Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. It's great! I want to use this poem to remind myself all the time, as a warning poem. ”

"Thanks to the love of the king, Xiaosheng was flattered. Lu Ming said.

"That's the end of today's exchange, please go back and rest. ”

"Yes, Xiaosheng said goodbye. ”

Lu Ming saluted, and then left the palace under the leadership of the eunuch.

Walking on the streets of Jingzhou City, most of the people who come and go are scholars, and there are also children of famous families and high-ranking officials, there is no garbage on the street, and what is even more rare is that not even a beggar is seen.

Then Lu Ming saw a mansion with three big characters written on the plaque, "People's Residence", and the people who went in and out of it were ordinary people in plain clothes, and there was no valuable ornament on their bodies, so they should be the lowest people in the capital.

After a little inquiry, Lu Ming learned that this was a place where homeless people from all over the world were raised, and all homeless people who were homeless because of natural disasters would come here to do coolies to support themselves.

At the same time, they can also introduce a variety of jobs according to their strengths, even if they are disabled with missing arms and have broken their arms, as long as they can read and write, they can find a job that suits them.

In this way, even the poorest people will not be robbers, let alone illegal things, and the life of every family in Jingzhou has reached the level of food and clothing without worry.

In this regard, Lu Ming was even more sad, because Jingzhou was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so the people were able to live a carefree life.

As everyone knows, in places outside of Jingzhou, corrupt officials are doing everything possible to oppress the people, on the surface it is indeed to govern one side of the land smoothly, but in fact, they have privately collected taxes many times, increasing the burden of the people, and allowing the people to work for the government for free to make money.

This method is really very clever, and being an official is also a kind of business, and this kind of business is high-sounding, and it is not weaker than the danger of thieves.

As a result, even if the living standards of the people have improved, they still work hard all day and night, and the money they earn is just enough, and the overall economic level is difficult to develop.

Therefore, outside of Jingzhou, beggars are not uncommon, and there are many places where people are not able to make a living.

"Suppose that one day Liang Jun makes me an official, how should I govern a place? Will I be like those corrupt officials, who do things against their will for the sake of a smooth career?"

Lu Ming suddenly thought about it jokingly, and then was immediately denied by another thought: "No! Since ancient times, corrupt officials and corrupt officials have not ended well, and only officials who serve the country and the people can truly be supported by the people." ”

"The way to be an official is to respond to the people, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the country!"

Finally, he glanced at the "people's house", sighed helplessly, and turned to leave.

Next, Lu Ming saw a very conspicuous carriage again, which attracted the attention of many people.

This team of carriages is pulled by the spirit beast "Wind Horse", each Wind Horse has light blue hair, taller and more powerful than ordinary war horses, but it is not angry at all, very docile.

Spirit beasts are very spiritual creatures, and the demon clan does not belong to the same race, most of the spirit beasts are wild, self-generated spirituality, can understand human words, once the owner is identified, will never betray.

There was a flag on the carriage with the words "Dachang Tour" written on it, and it turned out that they were scholars from Dachang Country who came to Liang Country to play in the mountains and rivers.

Liang people welcome Changguo people to hold cultural exchanges, but Changguo people look down on Liang people very much, because Changguo's economic development is better than Liang's, and the army's combat effectiveness is also very strong, so Changguo people speak very impulsively and have a lot of confidence, which offends many Liang people.

And after the banner of the "Dachang Ranger", there is another flag, on which there is only a simple "willow" character.

"It turned out to be a tourist from the Liu family, what tricks do you want to play this time?"

"It's about to be the time of the government exam, do you want to hold a literary meeting, and come to give us Liang Guo a disadvantage first?"

"After this year's government examination, our Liang Maocai will have to participate in the Seven Kingdoms Maocai Exchange Meeting, to compete for the reputation of 'the first Maocai of the Seven Kingdoms', this meeting has not yet started, and the people of Changguo will come to Jingzhou first!"

"Coming to this set almost every year, don't the people of Changguo have any new ideas?"

"Don't be afraid, now that we have produced a poet from Liang, we have returned to Jingzhou with the scholars of Zhenzhou at this time to accept the reward of the imperial court. ”

"You mean...... That scholar Lu Ming?"

"Who else could it be but him?"

Liang Guo's scholars talked a lot, and it was very lively.

The Changguo people sitting in the carriage held their heads high and looked at the Liang people with a condescending gaze, very proud.

"Look at what they've become!"

"That's it!"

The people of Liang sneered at it, and they were even more unhappy about it.

Lu Ming frowned, feeling as if something bad was happening, and the next moment, his face changed in shock.

When a boy has a kitten in his arms and stumbles into the middle of the road, the boy immediately runs over to pick up the kitten, just as the convoy of wind horses arrives.

"Be careful!"

"Stop!"

However, Changguo's coachman turned a blind eye, and suddenly drew a whip, which seemed to be about to hit the horse, but in fact he was going to beat the boy, and his face was full of triumph.

With a "snap", the whip swung down with all his might, and when he saw that he was about to hit the boy, he was grabbed by a strong hand.

This person is Lu Ming, who saw badly and didn't say a word to help.

The boy glanced at Lu Ming, said "thank you", and then ran back with the kitten in his arms.

The Changguo coachman was suddenly angry, "Boy, get out of the way!"

"In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun dares to beat a child with a whip, do you think this is a place where you can go wild if you want to? Get out of here!"

Lu Ming shouted angrily, and at the same time mobilized his own talent, and suddenly his strength was like a thousand catties, and he directly pulled the coachman off the horse and fell heavily to the ground.

Everyone was shocked, because although the Changguo people were domineering, no one dared to take the initiative to beat their coachman, because that would only make the contradiction worse and more out of control.
