Chapter 24: The Imperial Meeting

Dream!

Deep psychedelic dreams.

"Don't ——!"

In a white ward, a young woman was lying on the hospital bed, dying, a young man, looking at the woman on the hospital bed, thinking that he was penniless, and used all the money to see the woman, but the woman's condition did not improve, it was just cancer early, but because he did not have enough money, he could only see the person he loved deeply, suffering from the pain, and now he saw his beloved dying on the hospital bed, but he had no choice!

In a large lecture hall, on the podium, a young man in a suit and leather shoes was standing on the podium and talking, he looked down at the report in his hand from time to time, and then reported his research results to the leaders in the lecture hall with a smile.

At the end of the lecture hall, a young man in his thirties looked at the young man who could talk eloquently on the podium of the lecture hall in front of him with a resentful face, and his heart was full of grief and indignation:

"This was originally my chance, that report was originally written by me, just because your dad is the principal, you have usurped my things, this time to evaluate the title of professor, I can only watch from below, but you will get this opportunity! Damn, damn! The big husband must have power and money!! ”

A dilapidated prison cell.

A prison guard is putting prison food in each cell.

"Why are there maggots in this meal?" A boy who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old looked at the prison meal in his hand, and maggots were crawling on it, and slowly wriggling.

"What the hell, what so much nonsense, eat or not? Don't eat it to others, him! The jailer next to him yelled at the young man.

Another jailer joined in, but he laughed wildly and said, "Hahahahaha, isn't this good?" Isn't there meat to eat? It's still jumping, it's good to have meat to eat! Huhuhahaha~~"

On the beheading table next to a vegetable market, on the execution table where the beheadings were beheaded.

He knelt in the front, and he could hear the crying of his own people behind, but he couldn't speak, his mouth was blocked by rags, and he could hear a burst of intermittent female crying, and he vaguely heard that it was his own mother's voice.

"Mother, mother! It's all unfilial piety, let you suffer such a big crime, and follow your son to see the beheading and beheading, my mother wow! Woo woo, mother, son is sorry for you! ”

At an intersection, the crowd was surrounded, all kneeling down in front of themselves, and they all said gratefully:

"Thank you, Lord Qingtian, you saved my son's life~!"

"Thank you for saving my life, my son's life was saved!"

"O living bodhisattva who saves the suffering!"

"If life is only as ...... first seen" the young man slowly chanted this poem, and although the beautiful woman opposite was through the veil, she could still vaguely see her shy appearance.

In the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, the grass people have basically solved the current situation of the plague problem in Jingshi City, but the grass people have nothing to ask for, only one thing, and I hope that Your Majesty will grant you." A young man knelt in front of the man sitting on the dragon chair in front of him.

"You came here to tell me a novel story of cultivating immortals, I wanted to reward you with something, and this time you saved the entire Jingshi City, say, what you want, I will agree if I can agree." The majestic voice of the man on the dragon chair said.

"Grass people!" As the young man spoke, his mind seemed to be in the Dharma field, the old lady's crying, in the hospital ward, his lover was dying, and he had no money for surgery, and that embarrassing appearance.

In the lecture hall, the results of his research were cheaper than others, the humiliation he received in the prison cell, etc., a series of things came to his mind for a moment, and he finally took a deep breath and said what he longed for:

"The grass people want His Majesty to give the grass people a meritorious name, and next year the students will definitely be able to rank in the Jinshi seat, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Well, this condition," the man sitting on the dragon bowed his head slightly, but Xuan'er said: "It's just this condition, I can agree, this involves the system of fame and the imperial court's talent ceremony, although I have no problem here, but the cabinet will react greatly, well, Rong Zhen will go to the morning court tomorrow, in the morning court, listen to the opinions of the ministers." ”

"Emperor Xie Wu, if the grass people can't enter the Shi and the first next year, the grass people are also willing to take away this quota, long live Xie Wuhuang! ~" said the young man.

"Lifting quotas, lifting quotas!" Liang Hong suddenly sat up from the bed, and then gasped for breath.

looked around, and said secretly in his heart: "It turned out to be a dream...... But it's all about what happened to me. ”

"What time is it? There's already a lot of it out there? Liang Hong subconsciously muttered.

Then got dressed and got up, and then went to the outer room, the cook heated her own meal, and then brought it over, Liang Hong drank a mouthful of millet porridge, Xuan'er looked out of the door, and muttered softly: "Chaohui, it's already begun!" ”

Forbidden City, in the Jinluan Palace.

All the civil and military officers are standing in line according to the official ranks, and only one person is sitting, it is the Emperor of the Ninety-Five Dynasty who sits on the dragon chair and the emperor of the current Dakang Dynasty, Emperor Jingtai.

Seeing that the courtiers were standing in a respectful line below, Emperor Jingtai spoke: "I have said just now, then Liang Hong does not want any other rewards, just to seek fame in one fell swoop, and promised me that if you don't get admitted to the Jinshi, you will automatically give up the fame of raising people, I feel that this reward is understandable, and I am ready to ask for that Liang Hong in the hall,—— so you Aiqing, what is your meaning?" ”

At this time, Zhang Shouyan, who was standing at the head of the cabinet, was directly facing the emperor and bowed slightly, which was the reserved attitude of the scholars to the kings, and he said:

"Your Majesty, this precedent must not be opened!

After all, this is about the imperial court's talent ceremony! How can you arbitrarily determine the number of talents who have studied hard in the imperial court to be admitted to the examination with great difficulty? ”

As soon as the first assistant of the cabinet said this, the ministers of the court immediately jumped out, especially the inspectors and the officials in the six ministries, who echoed the speech of the first assistant Zhang Shouyan.

This is obviously extremely disrespectful to the emperor on the dragon throne, but there is no way, the scholars have always had the pride of scholars, this is the ancient tradition, the so-called "Son of Heaven and scholars share the world", although this dynasty has not had such a national policy, but the dynasties have always basically followed this criterion.

The Dakang Dynasty just didn't come as much as it appeared on the surface, but in fact, in fact, those scholars and scholars had already agreed with it.

And at this time, I saw the emperor's eyes looking at the celebrant eunuch's side, but the eunuch Lu Kun who was the celebrant of the palm seal also came out of the class and asked:

"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that Liang Hong can be given a quota for lifting people, after all, people don't all say it, if you can't rely on Jinshi, this quota will be deprived and returned, what's wrong with this?

Can't Your Majesty even reward this small quota? ”

Listening to the words of his old opponent, the eunuch Lu Kun, the chief assistant of the cabinet and the prime minister of the dynasty, Zhang Shouyan, was directly displeased: "This is the rules and regulations of the imperial court, Gonggong Lu, as the eunuch of the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch, do you want to personally destroy the law of the country?" ”

Lu Kun was suddenly buttoned on his head by this high hat at this time, and immediately shot back: "The law of the country is determined by Your Majesty after all, why don't you civil officials even take Your Majesty seriously?"

Could it be that you are looking down on Your Majesty? ”

"You have gone so far, how can the law of the country be lightly wasted?" When a Wenchen saw the eunuch Cao Kun in charge of the seal, and the posture of "You are slandering Your Majesty", a Wenchen suddenly couldn't help but be angry, and expressed his loyalty to his boss Zhang Shoufu and challenged Lu Kun.

When Lu Kun heard this, he was annoyed, is Lao Tzu talking to your boss, how can you have the share of talking here? ?

Although he was annoyed, he was helpless, who made the family a Wenchen? Quarrels and verbal battles are the best, and I have suffered in this regard, and it is not once or twice that I have suffered in this regard.

But he was still very unconvinced, he glanced at the generals on the right, and couldn't help but sigh routinely in his heart: "Under Lao Tzu's hands, why don't there be these strong-mouthed people?" Is he a martial artist, a rough man, who can stab a civilian subordinate to our family? ”

Thinking so, he suddenly thought of one person: Liang Hong!

That's right, isn't he just a literati who can be developed to be close to the celebrant and eunuch? It's just that this time it's bad, it's okay to say that he raised people's names, if he is blocked back by these civil servants again, then Liang Hong can be used as an option for his subordinate civil officials, and he has to be erased.

Thinking of this, Lu Kun sneaked a glance at the emperor sitting high above, and thought, "Presumably the emperor also has such feelings, right?" Originally, the celebrant was directly under the emperor! ”

And just when he saw that Lu Kun had the intention of retreating, it was obvious that this time the ministers were going to win again, but at this moment, a loud voice sounded:

"The minister agrees with His Majesty's intentions, that Liang Hong has curbed the spread of the plague in just one day, which is really a great achievement!

There is nothing wrong with lifting people with him! ”

Hearing this voice, everyone couldn't help but look over, but when the people in the celebrant looked over, they all had a surprised expression, especially Lu Kun's jaw was about to be shocked.

When the cabinet and the ministers looked over, they were first surprised, then stunned and angry.

An inspector's face appeared angrily at this time: "Elder Xu Ge, the country has its own laws in this matter, and Elder Xu's words are too biased!" ”

The person who spoke in favor of the emperor before was the current scholar of Dongge University, Hubu Shangshu, Xu Qiushan.

Xu Qiushan looked at the imperial historian coldly at this time and said, "Oh? I would like to ask, how is this biased?

Are you happy to wait for the people of the capital to die? The situation was under control in one day, may I ask the princes of the Manchu Dynasty about this, who can? ”
