The eunuch stood still in front of the crowd.

"Your Majesty is holding a banquet in the Chengyun Palace, please come with the slaves and maids. ”

Banquet?

Not only Lu Liangsheng was a little puzzled, but the rest of the Jinshi also showed doubts, after the palace tried, shouldn't it be the royal pen to point out the top three?

The eunuch who walked in front seemed to understand their doubts, and turned back and smiled:

"Your Majesty likes to feast on all the ministers, and you are a rare young talent, all of whom are excellent in poetry, literature and songs, so they naturally want to be entertained, and even the civil and military officials are here. ”

After saying a few words, when he arrived at the Chengyun Palace, Lu Liangsheng walked among the eighteen people, his face was calm, and he was also a little apprehensive, and when he entered the inside, Rao was daytime, and the lights were bright, the Chengyun Hall was spacious, and the civil and military officials were seated on both sides, and Min Changwen, the secretary of the ministry, was also among them, sitting in the seat on the left, with a solemn expression.

The sound of chimes and silk and bamboo was soft, and the green smoke of sandalwood curled, and after Lu Liangsheng and the others walked through the middle and stood still, after the dragon case above the front, the emperor raised his cuffs and waved.

A few long-sleeved dancing women slowly retreated.

A group of warblers and Yanyan left, Lu Liangsheng's vision became clear, under the intertwined Phnom Penh big pu fan, Chen Shubao was dressed in a dragon robe, looking about his early thirties, and his appearance was upright, but one left and one right, there were two women sitting, one of them, a red peony long skirt, a green silk hairpin, and a flower carved from a spar was inserted on it, adding beauty, making people feel amazing, and the appearance was somewhat familiar.

"He Jingqiu?"

When Lu Liangsheng muttered softly, the woman also seemed to notice the scholars in the crowd, her beautiful eyes widened for no reason, and her little red lips opened slightly.

"Mr. Lu......"

Chen Shubao, who was talking to another concubine, turned his head.

"What did Concubine Ai say?"

"Concubine, said that this year's Jinshi are so young. ”

On the dragon chair, Chen Shubao looked at Zhang Lihua over there, hooked the corners of his mouth, sat upright, put his hands on the armrests, looked ahead, and slowly spoke.

"Yes, they are all my future ministers of the humerus, concubine, you see, many of them are really young and handsome, and they have a good demeanor..... I can't compare. ”

Although the words above were only talked between the two, Lu Liangsheng could hear them, and frowned.

...... How do you feel a little sour vinegar in this statement?

"The palace test is a pass, and I will not announce the top three for the time being. ”

At this moment, the Emperor of the Dragon Court stood up, his voice slow and neutral, but then he chuckled.

"You are all my Chen Chaojunjie, I like it very much, this Chinese Wu Zhuqing knows that Shu has a habit, every time there is a banquet, I will invite the concubine to accompany me, and when you are about to become a courtier, I invite you to come over and adapt to it." ”

The latter words became a little frivolous, and Min Changwen in the seat on the left couldn't help but want to speak, but at this time, the emperor was talking, and if he interjected, it would hinder the harmony of the monarch and the ministers, so he had to continue listening.

Chen Shubao filled nineteen new seats, and after the eighteen jinshi over there thanked each other, they were polite to each other.

"Brother Chang, please. ”

"Brother is still with Brother Zhou. ”

"Go together. ”

One by one, when they went to their seats, someone turned around and saw Lu Liangsheng standing alone in the same place.

"Brother Lu, take a seat. ”

Lu Liangsheng smiled at him, bowed his hand politely, and then looked at the emperor who turned around and sat back on the dragon chair, half nervous, half expectant, although it was a little abrupt, but it was the best opportunity.

He took a deep breath and bowed his hands to the top of the imperial stairs.

"Your Majesty, the new jinshi Lu Liangsheng, please play if you have something. ”

The voices on both sides became quieter, and the civil and military officials during the banquet glanced at each other, looked at each other, and were a little curious about what the young man in the middle would say.

"Oh?"

Chen Shubao pressed the armrest with one elbow, rubbed his fingertips, and looked at the scholar standing in the hall with a smile.

"You say. ”

Below, many thoughts flashed through Lu Liangsheng's heart like lightning, and he quickly organized what he wanted to say in his mind.

"Your Majesty, the minister went to Heliangzhou last year, when there was a drought, people were everywhere, hunger could be seen everywhere, and the granaries of each city were difficult to save grain to help because they paid the taxes of the imperial court......"

Hearing this, Chen Shubao felt a pain in his brain and waved his hand to interrupt the other party's words.

"Isn't it raining? There will be a good harvest this year. ”

"But Your Majesty, the taxes will still make them breathless......"

Lu Liangsheng still wanted to say, the emperor lowered his hand, looked at him, and leaned forward slightly: "Lu Liangsheng, you are not an official now." ”

In the carrying hall, Lu Liangsheng's face and neck were a little red when he was choked by this sentence, and the eighteen civil and military and newly admitted Jinshi on both sides were silent.

For a moment, inside the slightly trembling cuffs, the fingers slowly curled up and clenched their fists.

"Your Majesty......"

Lu Liangsheng's voice sounded in the hall again, and said softly: "In the first examination of the examination, the minister once wrote that the country is a big tree, and the people are the roots of the tree, but the roots can strengthen the ground, and the tree will not fall, He Liangzhou is barren, and thousands of lives are struggling between His Majesty's thoughts, and if the land is damaged, it will hurt the country......"

"Alright. ”

Chen Shubao leaned back in his chair, his gaze turned away from the civil and military officials, and he snorted coldly between his mouth and nose.

"The Chen Dynasty is rich, and the warehouse is full of rice and millet, but those border officials pretend to be in a hurry, so they talk about the catastrophe, and the border people get more money and food, and they just cooperate, what do you know about a little scholar?!"

The emperor looked at the stunned expression of the scholar below quite satisfied, and felt a kind of pleasure vented with sour feelings in his heart.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Liangsheng shouted again.

"Hugh has to say it again...... By the way, I have something I want to ask you. ”

On the dragon chair, Chen Shubao turned his face slightly, glanced at Zhang Lihua, who was sitting not far away, remembered the jade pendant that was still lying on the table in the study, the corners of his mouth were hooked, he chuckled, and turned around.

"I've heard you can do some little tricks on the street. ”

With his elbows pressed against the armrests, he looked at Lu Liangsheng below playfully, and his chin was raised.

"Here, let's show me a trick. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, a group of civil and military officers were stunned, many people stood up, Min Changwen even arched his hand towards the emperor, the scholar has a good face, not to mention that he is still a cultivator, even Zhang Lihua on the side of the imperial stairs frowned, and turned his face to look at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you ......"

All around, the palace guards subconsciously grasped the hilt of the knife, and their eyes were fixed on the middle of the main hall.

Juggle.....

Lu Liangsheng stood there, looked at the dragon chair above, closed his eyes for a while, and released his fist.

"Your Majesty, is it just because I am doing tricks? After four years of hard study, Your Majesty used to be when I came to this Jinluan Palace to perform tricks...... Hehe...... Okay, then Lu Liangsheng will change it for His Majesty once. ”

Gritting his teeth, his cuffs and fists clenched, all trembling.

"Hurry up and change one, let me see. I can't change it, so I beat it out—" came the words.

The scholar flicked his wide sleeves, turned around and left, and the moment he stepped out of the palace gate, there were guards to stop him, and in the sight of the emperor and civil and military officials, the figure became blurred, and then disappeared into the sunlight.

Outside, there were voices in the distance.

"Qixia Mountain Lu Liangsheng, farewell!"

In the hall, there was an uproar, and they all stood up and looked, some people were afraid, and some people were curious.

"Ouch, this Lu Liangsheng is really good at spells. ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Lu Liangsheng will be more than just a street trick!"

"That's it, that is, why did Your Majesty humiliate him alone, this Lu Liangsheng is also a humble gentleman......"

Min Changwen walked out of his seat and chased a few steps, his figure had already disappeared, staring at the bright sunshine outside, beating his chest angrily.

"Your Majesty, my Chen Dynasty is one less pillar. ”

"What pillars?!"

Chen Shubao returned to the dragon chair, happy in his heart, and waved his heroic sleeves: "Banquet!"

......

The sky outside was reflected on people's faces, a little dazzling, Lu Liangsheng walked through the deserted long street in a daze, and between his eyebrows, he was full of extreme disappointment.

"Heh..... it's actually this kind of emperor...... This kind of emperor ..... ignore the thousands of people in He Liangzhou and ignore ......"

Bathing in the sun, closing his eyes, and being humiliated for no reason, the behavior of the people on the dragon chair is like what an emperor should be.

"Addicted to wine, superstitious and evil, and disappointing the people...... Hehe......"

Not far away, outside a wine shop, the shopkeeper yawned boredly, and suddenly saw the scholar walking in front of him, and hurriedly went up to greet him.

"Come on, come on~ This guest officer, the wine in the store is mellow, look at your heart, it's better to come in and have a few drinks, maybe the worries will be solved." ”

Lu Liangsheng stopped, smelled the aroma of wine wafting from the store, and as soon as his footsteps turned, he walked in with his buddy.

Soon, the man trotted up to the second floor with a few jugs of warm wine from this guest.

"Guest officer, the pear blossom stuffed and Huangxing wine you ordered, by the way, the guest officer might as well order some appetizers......

Before he could finish, Lu Liangsheng behind the opposite table reached out and grabbed the wine jug directly, and poured it into his mouth.

Cough~

Ahem –

Putting down the wine jug, Lu Liangsheng's tears were about to come out with the spicy taste, his eyes were slightly red, he stared at the pen and ink on the table, reached out and grabbed it, and pinched it tightly.

After four years of hard study, He Liangzhou starved to death..... suddenly, he just wanted to get drunk.
