Ten years of hard study, once in the middle

The carp jumps over the dragon gate, and the grass chicken becomes a phoenix.

This is what Dr. Du is talking about.

Doctor Du stood in the crowd, enjoying the taste of the admiration of these thousands of people, this kind of pleasure that he had never experienced, this is the pleasure of power.

He proudly threw the broken silver in his hand to the proprietress and said, "Boss, you don't have to move out of the imperial city, the restaurant will continue to operate." ”

The proprietress was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked, "Thank you Du Zhuangyuan!." ”

After hearing this, everyone's eyes showed envy.

There is a champion in the restaurant that operates, and no matter what else, this news alone can attract countless people to come.

It didn't take long for a procession to arrive.

The leader of the team is Jiang Wenwen.

"Who is Doctor Du?"

"Master Jiang, I am. Doctor Du raised his fist and bowed, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Well, when the night lantern festival, I think you are extraordinary, and today's choice of the champion is also reasonable, I hope that in the future, we will be officials in the same dynasty, and work together to contribute to the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qin State. ”

Some beautiful words were naturally to be said, and Doctor Du was extremely comfortable to listen to, but the latter sentence made him feel strange.

Let me change my clothes?

Without further ado, the two little eunuchs came up with a few shining clothes.

The two little eunuchs were extremely fast, and before Doctor Du could react, their clothes had already been changed.

"How... What's going on?" Doctor Du was a little dazed.

"Du Zhuangyuan, don't panic, these two little eunuchs are not ordinary people, and their changing skills are extremely fast. Jiang Wenwen explained.

Doctor Du touched his clothes, nodded, and asked, "Could it be that these two people are strangers?"

Jiang Wenwen's eyes froze, and he was a little surprised.

"That's good, but it's just cultivating some qi, not even a cyclone. ”

"Cyclone, what's that?" Du Yi heard the new term, a little strange.

"Hehe, Du Zhuangyuan has never cultivated qi, so naturally he doesn't know this. Jiang Wenwen laughed and didn't go any further.

Although Jiang Wenwen's voice did not reveal anything else, Doctor Du always felt a little harsh after hearing it.

He didn't think much of it, though.

"Du Zhuangyuan, follow me into the palace to face the saint, the emperor praises you very much. Jiang Wenwen made a gesture of please.

Then a little eunuch brought a snow-white horse, which was no different from an ordinary horse, but there was a hint of agility in his eyes, but Doctor Du didn't notice it.

Doctor Du was not verbose, turned over and got on the horse, accompanied by Jiang Wenwen and others, and walked to the palace.

It didn't take long for Doctor Du and his party to come to the outside of the main hall in the palace.

And there are two groups of people waiting outside, which are the teams of Bangyan and Tanhua.

The two Du Yi naturally knew each other.

Zhang Chu was a native of Songcheng County, Qin State, and there was a college called Guxiang Academy in Songcheng.

Du Yi had studied at Guxiang Academy for a year before, but he didn't get acquainted with Zhang Chu, but he met in the capital a few years later.

And Xue Tae-hyun has only met once at the lantern festival.

Du Yi was not very familiar with him, only knew that his name was Xue Taixian, and he was the eldest son of King Xuewang, who had a different surname from the Qin State.

"Du Zhuangyuan, congratulations, you and I are from the same academy, and I hope to get Du Zhuangyuan's support in the future. ”

Zhang Chu bowed his hand to Du Yi, and his words were already flattering.

Doctor Du smiled and returned the salute and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Xue Taixian said at this time, "I thought it was Doctor Du, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”

Doctor Du said with some respect, "Oh, Lord Xue knows me?"

Xue Taixian nodded, and said, "I've seen it at the Lantern Festival, I only thought you were a little clever at the beginning, but I didn't expect to win the champion now, it's because I took a look, Doctor Du, next time we have a chance to learn from each other?"

Xue Tae-hyun spoke tepidly, and even the meaning of the exchange was extremely bland.

"I can't ask for it, and I will definitely visit the Snow King if I have the chance. ”

"Good. ”

Xue Taixian said a word lightly, and then did not look at Doctor Du, his eyes looked at the door of the main hall.

After a while, a sharp voice came from the main hall.

"The three adults of the champion, the list of eyes, and the three adults of Tanhua!"

Then Jiang Wenwen, who was beside Doctor Du, said, "Three, please enter the hall." ”

Doctor Du sorted out his clothes and followed Jiang Wenwen into the hall.

The splendid hall is filled with incense, six red pillars stand on both sides of the hall, the top is surrounded by golden dragons, the ground is glazed bricks, the top beams are star wood, jade, diamonds, pearls and all kinds of precious stones decorate the whole hall.

It's luxurious.

On the top of the main hall, there is a nine-dragon jade chair, on the left side of which is a golden carving, connected to the dragon chair, and on the right side is a seven-hole sword, which looks extremely sharp.

Sitting on the dragon chair is the current Qin Emperor - Qin Renmin.

Emperor Qin was dressed in a dragon robe, his thin white hair was neatly combed behind his back, he had a dragon crown on his head, and his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were bright.

Today is not the day of the early dynasty, and the time is not right, so there are no civil and military officials in the main hall, only a few eunuchs, and Jiang Wenwen and the other two civil officials.

"Doctor Chendu, please meet Your Majesty. ”

The others said the same loudly, and then knelt down together.

"Haha, you are all good men of the Qin Kingdom, get up. "Emperor Qin was very happy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I'm really happy to see these three people today. Emperor Qin stroked his beard and continued.

"Zhang Chu, you are a Tanhua, and you are from Guxiang Academy, and you are also a famous family, I have given you the inspector of Song City, are you satisfied?"

Zhang Chu immediately knelt down and thanked him, shouting satisfaction.

Just kidding, in the past, Tanhua was generally a small deputy minister in the Imperial City, and the water in the Imperial City was very deep, so it was difficult to mix.

Now that I can go back to my hometown to be an inspector, there is a lot of oil and water to be fished.

Zhang Chu, how could he not be satisfied?

Seeing that Zhang Chu agreed so quickly, without any hesitation, a trace of disappointment flashed in Emperor Qin's eyes, he shook his head slightly, and turned his gaze to Xue Taixian.

"Nephew, how is your father doing now?"

"Your Majesty, my father and his old man are in good health, and he often thinks about you, Your Majesty, saying when will I be able to send troops to fight to raise the prestige of my Qin State!"

"Hahaha, Brother Xue is warlike, but he is relieved that he is in good health. Emperor Qin nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"Nephew, your name appeared in the exam paper, but it scared me. ”

"Minister..... Panic!"

"Haha, it's okay, the Xue family has always been martial, and now you are an extraordinary person, which is also a good thing. But, virtuous nephew, what do you want me to reward you?"

Xue Taixian paused, and then said, "In the area of Mucheng in the south of the Qin State, the floods are serious, but thousands of acres of fertile land have not been harvested every year, and famine and plague are even more raging among the people. “

"Minister, please give me the title of Lord of Mucheng, control the disaster situation in the south, and contribute to the people and the country. ”

After a long time, Emperor Qin didn't speak, and stared at Xue Taixian for a long time.

But Xue Taixian's expression remained unchanged at all, and he lowered his head and waited for Emperor Qin to reply.

“.... This one... Not proper!"

Xue Taixian raised his head in some surprise, looked at Emperor Qin, and said.

"Your Majesty, do you think that the minister does not have the ability to deal with the flood?"

The people in the hall frowned, Xue Taixian was a little rude when he said this.

However, Emperor Qin didn't care and explained.

"No, you are very good, but I have already chosen someone for the matter of Mucheng, and the plague in the south is serious, if you have three long and two short, how do you tell me to explain to your father?"

Emperor Qin shook his head and continued without waiting for Xue Taixian to speak.

"And the war on the western border is urgent, the country of wind and snow has been attacking for a long time, and you are a military general, why don't you go to the western border to be the head of ten thousand households?"

Although Emperor Qin's words had a consultative meaning, there was a bit of a command in his tone.

Xue Taixian knew that the emperor's authority could not be touched, so he could only thank him and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace." ”

Emperor Qin nodded with satisfaction and turned his gaze to Doctor Du's side.

"Doctor Du, you are this year's champion, and unlike the previous champions, you were personally selected by me, I hope you will not disappoint me in the future!"

"Your Majesty Xie appreciates it, and the ministers will definitely work for Emperor Qin's country. ”

"Very good, there is a Zhuangyuan Mansion in the capital, Doctor Du, you live first, Bachelor Jiang, you take Doctor Du to the Champion Mansion for a walk." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Jiang Wenwen said respectfully.

Then Du Yi and the others withdrew from the main hall.

Xue Taixian seemed to be a little angry, looked at Doctor Du and muttered a few words, and rode away.

And Zhang Chu stayed by Dr. Du's side enthusiastically, wanting to make some friends.

Doctor Du was also not easy to deal with, listening to Zhang Chu talking non-stop along the way, occasionally smiling in response to it.

It didn't take long for Doctor Du to come outside a mansion with the words "Zhuangyuan Mansion" written on it.

The mansion is spacious and magnificent, although it is not as extravagant as the palace hall, but the building materials are of the highest quality and the price is expensive.

When Zhang Chu saw that he came to the Zhuangyuan Mansion, he couldn't continue to follow, so he could only raise his fist to greet him and say.

"Master Du, I won't bother you, I'll go first. ”

"Okay, Master Zhang, go slowly. ”

Doctor Du sighed secretly, and finally left, and my ears were calloused all the way.

Jiang Wenwen on the side smiled slightly, turned around and arranged for the subordinates who came with him to settle in the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

"Lord Du, this champion mansion changes every five years, and each champion lives here for less than a year, so some things in it still need to be cleaned up, don't be surprised. ”

"Oh, it's okay, Lord Jiang has been busy all morning until now, why don't you go in and rest?"

"It's okay, Lord Du, please!"

Jiang Wenwen can be regarded as giving Du Yi enough face.

Doctor Du was full of spring and strode into the champion's mansion.
