Luo Lanqing was speechless, and asked, "Is it really good for you to be so foolish?"

Xiaomeng looked indifferent, "What's the big deal, it's just a dream, whoever is really my grandson!"

Luo Lanqing tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he was convinced by this guy.

First the White Pavilion, then Bao Qi, and the messy and altered Xuanling, it's simple!

Bao Qi and Bai Ting are both famous great monks in the Seven Star Continent, although the emperor of Xuanling is a reckless man with mud legs, but he is not a fool who is played with by his courtiers and applauded as he describes here, which fool can destroy a big dynasty from a local petty official in just fifty years?

Xiaomeng looked at the lost lamb in the glass mirror, with a look of idleness, he didn't just create these dreams for fun, he had his own plans for each dream, and in the years to come, it would affect several of them very deeply, and even calculated their future.

——

As the first champion of the new branch since the founding of Xuanlin, the gold content of Chen Daoxuan's three words is not amazing, and the city was shocked for a while, and the storm was everywhere.

Countless dignitaries and nobles have come one after another, and they all want to take this opportunity to climb the relationship with this new champion.

Chen Daoxuan coped with all of them one by one, and he couldn't find fault with it.

In a spacious mansion, there was a burly man holding a handful of moonlight cups in his hands, and the cup was slowly shaking with elixir and jade liquid.

A civil servant sat on his knees with a flattering smile on his face.

The civil official spoke: "Your Excellency's subordinates have already found out that this new champion is indeed very clean, and there will definitely be no problems." ”

The burly man nodded, "Then let's find a chance to visit him." ”

"Yes. The civil servant agreed, and withdrew.

This man is the Taibao Zhu Xiu of today's Xuanling, a man who covers the sky with one hand above the court.

Zhu Xiu's eyes were full of disdain, the champion? Are there still fewer champions who have died in his hands over the years? It is better to know the current affairs of the champion this time, otherwise he would not recommend eradicating another stumbling block.

But it's a pity to say that there is only one old guy who is about to enter the earth in this court who can play with him, and the others are either afraid that he can't hide from him, or they want to slap him and rush to him.

In such a court, who would dare to say a word if he didn't open his mouth, that is, this stupid emperor thought that he was very good at governance, so no official opened his mouth to give his opinion, and he was so stupid.

However, that old guy was able to conspire with the candidates for the palace examination, which he didn't expect, if it weren't for the luck of the examiner and having a lot of friendship with him, he might really have to admit it this time.

However, there is no danger, and he finally caught the old guy's two subordinates, as long as he pried open the mouths of the two hard bones, he could use the problem to eradicate the old guy together! But when the time is really one person under ten thousand people, even if the stupid emperor knows about it, it is too late.

He squinted his eyes like an old fox, and the throne might try to sit on him, so why not?

The next morning, Zhu Xiu took his subordinates to visit Chen Daoxuan.

As soon as he entered the door, he found Chen Daoxuan pacing and studying alone in the courtyard, and interrupted Chen Daoxuan loudly: "Mr. Chen is really extraordinary, obviously he is already a champion in his body, but he still studies so hard!"

When Chen Daoxuan saw Zhu Xiu, he hurriedly saluted and replied: "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book. Studying was a pleasure for me, not for the imperial examination. ”

He asked again, "I don't know who you are?"

Zhu Xiu waved his sleeves, and walked directly into the lobby, and sat on the master's seat, "Zhu Xiu in the lower Taibao!"

Frightened, Chen Daoxuan hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "See Lord Zhu!"

It is said that men have gold under their knees, kneeling to their parents, even if they are not good, they may be able to add a son of heaven, but the person in front of him is very skillful in kneeling, almost subconsciously, and it is estimated that he has done a lot of this kind of thing.

Zhu Xiu nodded when he saw his reaction, and said that the bones of literati were the hardest, but the one in front of him was very soft, and he raised his hand weakly and said, "You and I are both ministers, you don't have to make this big gift, get up." ”

"Yes!" Chen Daoxuan nodded and got up, and sat down casually on the guest seat again.

The position of the host and guest is reversed, which shows Zhu Xiu's arrogance in this trip, but Chen Daoxuan behaves like a lowly dog, with a stammering meaning.

Zhu Xiu opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that Chen Juren was born in poverty, and he is still living a satisfactory life these days?"

Asking about life is asking about life, but this sentence is of a poor background.

Chen Daoxuan lowered his head and said with a sincere smile: "Of course I am satisfied, thanks to the help of the imperial court, I will never have such a comfortable environment in my next life." ”

Zhu Xiu glanced at his face and looked at the tattered environment around him, disdainfully, and thought: "Sure enough, he was born with mud legs and has a short knowledge, so he is satisfied with such a little thing." ”

He said: "That's good, as long as the future pillars of our country are talented, we must continue to work hard and contribute to the construction of the country in the future." ”

This time, Chen Daoxuan didn't have such a big reaction, and he replied in a flat tone: "Keep in mind the teachings of the adults below. ”

"It seems to be a selfish reading seed, so that's good. Zhu Xiu has been paying attention to Chen Daoxuan's every move, the change in his facial expression, and he can talk nonsense, but these subconscious actions can't be concealed. "Try him again. ”

He said in a low tone: "I wonder if Chen Juren has heard that someone has committed the crime of bullying the king in this palace examination and has been sent to prison?"

Chen Daoxuan sneered, "I don't know whether it's dead or alive, the imperial examination is nothing more than being promoted to an official and making a fortune, and there are such stupid people!"

"Oh?" Zhu Xiu looked at Chen Daoxuan and said meaningfully: "Chen Juren thinks stupid? Don't you scholars talk about virtue, meritorious service, and speech, do you think it's ridiculous?"

Chen Daoxuan touched his nose embarrassedly, and said a little embarrassed: "I'm not afraid of adult jokes, I'll tell you the truth, I'm just a plain common man below, I'm really poor, these things are the rich children who don't have to worry about food and clothing have not experienced the feeling of hunger to bluff people, it's too far away for me, ten years of hard work is just for the lintel family, what kind of virtue and meritorious service are really far away for the next." ”

"Hmm. Zhu Xiu nodded.

Chen Daoxuan's stammering eyes raised his head and glanced at Zhu Xiu, and continued: "Besides, what kind of meritorious service and virtue are all false, after all, a person's life is just a pinch of loess, if you don't have fun in time, what do you worry about, don't you say the old saying, people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves." The truth is in the book, and being a person is still outside the book. ”

Zhu Xiu couldn't help but despise the poor student in front of him, and sure enough, he was poor and even his ambition was unbearable.

He said in admiration: "A good truth is in the book, and being a person outside the book." Chen Juren has a unique idea, and listening to your words is like an enlightenment!"

Chen Daoxuan clenched his fists and leaned over and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!"

Zhu Xiu stared at Chen Daoxuan, thinking that if he stretched his foot over now, this guy would lick it.

He stood up and said, "Then which is more important in Chen Juren's heart, fame or profit?"

"Li!" Chen Daoxuan subconsciously replied, "This thing is beautiful and can't be eaten, whoever loves to fight for it!"

Zhu Xiu took out a gold ingot from his sleeve, exposed a corner and immediately stuffed it back, Chen Daoxuan's eyes shot out with greedy light when he saw the gold ingot.

Zhu Xiu walked out, and said in a strong voice: "There is another conflict on the southern border, the soldiers are working hard, and the new champion will meet the emperor in two days, you know what to say, right?"

Chen Daoxuan's waist has not been completely straightened since Zhu Xiu came in, and he saluted and said, "I will definitely live up to the love of the adults and send them off to the adults." ”

Zhu Xiu walked and walked with a gold ingot falling out of his sleeve, but he didn't care about leaving without care.

"Phew!" When Zhu Xiu was completely out of the door, Chen Daoxuan straightened up and spat on the ground, cursing: "If it weren't for the money, who would bend over you?"

The next moment, he squinted his eyes and bent down slightly, smiled obscenely, rubbed his little hands, trotted over to pick up the gold ingots on the ground, put them in his teeth and bit them, and said intoxicatedly: "The eldest husband does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, but bends his waist for gold ingots." ”

What he didn't know was that at this moment, all his words and deeds were seen and told to Zhu Xiu.

After listening to this, Zhu Xiu didn't care about Chen Daoxuan's rudeness, smiled and said, "This poor ghost is very interesting, you can do anything for money." Then I'll keep him for a while, and then we'll see if I can keep him by my side and be a dog!"

Chen Daoxuan was in a very solemn mood, he didn't expect that the southern border had been controlled by Zhu Xiu, this news was really amazing, if so, then for Zhu Xiu, the rebellion was really just a matter of kicking in the door.

According to the convention, there is a process of meeting the emperor in person, which is actually to announce the production of the new champion in the world.

The process of meeting the champion of the new department is very grand, after all, it is the first person of many students and scholars in the past three years, and anyone who is born as a champion is basically destined to be a high-ranking official in the future, and will definitely be an indispensable existence in the imperial court, so the emperor's personal summons is particularly important.

Thousands of colorful flags are agitated in the wind, the soldiers escort the phalanx are arranged on the square, a group of officials stand under the heavenly steps, and then arranged up in order by the size of the official rank, the emperor sits on the highest position of the heavenly steps and overlooks the entire court The context of the military hundred officials, such a grand scene may only exist in the enthronement ceremony.

Today's emperor is still not very interested, and every time the officials go to the court, they are like dumb people, and every time they discuss the border, they need to be funded. Last time, he actually wanted to allocate funds again, and if he hadn't refused to do so, the treasury would have been emptied because of the appropriation for the border soldiers.

There is no way, although he knows that there are many border battles in Xuanling, but there is still a period of time before the next tax, and the little money in the treasury has to be left to worry about Cao Yun, where can it be spent on military expenses.

Chen Daoxuan climbed the stairs from the lowest step of the heavenly stairs, and on both sides were the envious expressions of all kinds of officials, and there were drums and drums that shook the sky, this was the most coveted scene in every scholar's life, but Chen Daoxuan's heart was heavy and abnormal.

The strong wind blew his vermilion robe, making a fierce sound, and every step of the land seemed to be walking on the road of no return.
