Chapter 41 The Ancient Imperial Examination Road 10

The moon is in the middle of the sky, as bright as a jade plate.

Inside the hall.

"Your Majesty, you are fifteen today, do you want to sit with the queen?" Li Denian suddenly asked in a low voice.

It was obvious that the emperor was in a bad mood, and Li Denian wanted to be like Liu Fan as a background and a mute, but he always followed the emperor wherever he went to bed every night, and which concubine was lucky. At this time, even if he didn't want to, he had to be stubborn. Scalp asked.

The little emperor waved his hand, "No!"

Suddenly the little emperor changed his mind again, "Just go to the queen's place and have a ride."

Zhao Yunhong thought, as if he cared so much about that person's words and how rare he was, he was going to sit with the queen for a while, as if he could feel less uncomfortable by doing so.

But when Zhao Yunhong actually arrived at Kunning Palace and sat down, he felt uncomfortable again.

And in the outside room, Li Denian was waiting as usual, the gentle night wind was blowing on him, and there was not even a trace of sound in his ears except for the faint sound of the wind.

Li Denian was not surprised by this, it was not the first time he had seen such a scene, and he had long been accustomed to sitting with other concubines every time His Majesty, it was really just a simple sitting.

Unlike other courtiers who speculated that His Majesty might not be in good health, Li Denian knew clearly that His Majesty's health was fine, but he was weak and injured at the root. Let's talk about it after raising it.

However, the imperial doctor also said that if he didn't know how to take care of his body, His Majesty might have difficulties for his heirs in the future.

The queen mother also asked the imperial doctor to see her majesty secretly many times, but the imperial doctor couldn't do anything, and the queen mother gradually accepted her fate, so she spent more time worshiping the Buddha in the Compassionate Ning Palace without any desire or desire, which can be regarded as praying for the little emperor.

Speaking of which, most of the emperors of the Zhao family were weak and their heirs were difficult. Even the first emperor had only one single seedling, His Majesty. It's difficult.

I'm afraid there are some things in it that are faintly spread outside, saying that the killing was too heavy back then. After the founding of the country, many loyal officials were killed, and countless people ransacked their families and exterminated their families.

The Empress Dowager probably thought the same way, so she built a Buddhist hall in the Compassionate Ning Palace to pray for His Majesty every day, right?

Li De Nian was bored, when suddenly he heard the sound of His Majesty throwing something in the hall, and there was also the faint sound of a woman crying.

Li Denian yelled that it was not good. He waited until His Majesty told him angrily to 'get in' before rushing in. He only glanced at the scene in front of him, but he didn't know what was going on. He didn't expect that such an upright person as the Queen would have the guts Aphrodisiac/medicine for the emperor?

Zhao Yunhong left quickly, his footsteps were a little erratic, he had been drugged, his reason seemed to be drifting away from himself, he ordered the queen not to go out for nothing, and after cultivating his body and mind in Kunning Palace, he struggled Take it back and drive back.

The emperor called the imperial physician and used some decoction to disperse the fire. When the imperial physician left with the medicine box, the little emperor hid himself under the blanket. appearance.

His eyes are always dark, but they don't make people feel gloomy, just like the finest ink, making people want to find out.

His eyebrows are drawn into the temples, and the roots of the eyebrows are distinct, like the unreal distant mountains in the painting.

His fingers are fair and slender, and when he holds the pen, he can easily write beautiful articles that are praised by others.

His lips were very pale, and when he smiled slightly, it seemed to seduce him to get close.

That taste must be very good.

Zhao Yunhong thought about it, and then it exploded in his mind like a ball of fireworks, and he collapsed on the couch.

He was covered with a brocade quilt, covering up the ambiguous musky smell.

After a while, Zhao Yunhong called for water with a complicated expression.

The waiting room recently found out that the emperor suddenly did not call Lu Zhenting to wait for the recruitment. The officials were a little excited and looking forward to it, so the emperor would always think of them, right?

As a result, the emperor seemed to have forgotten to bring them to the guest room, these days, he never asked anyone to come to the room.

Their expressions were complicated, and they looked at the young Hanlin who had been concentrating on proofreading the history books. This man had an outstanding appearance, dressed in the official residence of a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but he wore an indescribably attractive elegance.

The son is like jade, nothing more than that.

Finally, Xueshi Zheng couldn't help but leaned forward and asked: "Why didn't the emperor announce you to accompany the driver recently? Before, eunuchs would call you to see the driver on ten out of ten days on duty. How many days has it been since then?" Got the news? Your Majesty, alas, you won’t really forget that we’re waiting for a room, will you?”

The more Xueshi Zheng thought about it, the more he thought about it, "Thinking about it carefully, it is not impossible. The current emperor, when he was still the prince, also forgot the companion chosen by the former emperor in Zhan Shifu for the prince. "

Lu Zha put down his pen, looked at Xueshi Zheng who was chattering beside him, and said, "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. As ministers, we just accept it."

Of course Lu Zha didn't think so, but he wasn't stupid enough to discuss the right and wrong of the emperor in front of others.

Xueshi Zheng was in awe.

Even the rest of the people who were waiting to rent a room had a much better impression of Lu Zha after hearing the words.Lu Xueshi has always been favored by His Majesty, but he has never been arrogant or impetuous, and he has never been a villain who flaunts his might. Suddenly he lost His Majesty's favor. How can ordinary people receive it?But Lu Xueshi has the same attitude as before, he is humble, this is the true character of a gentleman, right?

However, just as they were thinking, "Scholar Lu is afraid it's going to be hard", they were severely slapped in the face. They saw an eunuch enter the waiting room and asked as usual, "Where is Lu Zhenting?" The decree was read.

It is the decree of promotion.

The expressions of the others were dull for a moment, and they just felt that they were so overwhelmed that they felt sorry for this person, and it should be more distressing, obviously it should be them!

Lu Zha was also a little surprised when he received the imperial decree. He still held the post of waiting house, and also took the post of Minister of Rites. Such an official position happened to be able to go to the early court.

As the number one scholar, he usually stays in the Imperial Academy for three years, and spends these three years learning all kinds of knowledge. After that, outstanding talents can stay in the Hanlin Academy and receive editorial equivalents, while the rest are sent to the Six Departments as directors and censors.

But it took too long.

In addition, there is another way for the members of the Imperial Academy to be promoted.Just like he is now, he didn't stay long in the Hanlin Academy, and was transferred to the sixth department as a servant, and then he could be promoted as normal in the imperial court.At that time, the Ministry of Officials will conduct a merit test on these officials every year to evaluate the quality of the officials. Of course, if they encounter military or disaster situations and establish meritorious service, they can also be promoted quickly because of their background in the Imperial Academy.

Lu Zha was very satisfied with this result, and then he went to collect the official uniform and hat according to the rules, and waited until the next day when he got up from the bed with sleepy eyes, wiped his face with a wet towel, and after he was awake for a few minutes, he put it on at random. Some things, and then at 3 o'clock in the morning, according to the requirements of the early court, I arrived at the Meridian Gate of the capital and waited.

Many officials had already gathered outside the Meridian Gate. When the drum on the Meridian Gate tower rang, Lu Zha lined up with the other ministers; when the bell rang around 5 o'clock in the morning, the palace gate opened and the officials entered one by one. royal palace.

Well, when he can really gain power in the future, he will first change the time of the early court.While Lu Zha was suffering, this thought suddenly flashed through him while having fun in bitterness.

After the morning court, all the officials stood in line because the hall is very spacious. Although there are many people who are qualified to participate in the morning court, only Beijing officials can participate in this qualification. Older officials generally have favors You don't need to participate in the morning court, Lingling finally counted down, there are only about forty people above the morning court.

Lu Zha stood at the end, and after meeting with the ministers and the little emperor, he looked at Zhao Yunhong, who was aloof from a distance. Zhao Yunhong was wearing a formal bright yellow crown suit, and he couldn't see his face clearly because of the distance. But he could feel that the other party's gaze stayed on him for a long time.

……

Zhao Yunhong sat high on the dragon chair, trying not to take a nap at first, but after the eunuch declared 'the morning court begins, the courtiers enter the palace', he immediately regained his energy.

He looked down at the courtiers below, and it was not easy to see the longing man in the last position.

He frowned, thinking, did I give Lu Aiqing a lower position?But if the seal is too high, several masters will unite to oppose it again.

As time passed, the embarrassment of being rejected has almost dissipated, but the thought of wanting to see Xueshi Lu is tickling in his heart.

Now because of his operation, he can finally see people, but at such a long distance, even if he wants to see, he can't see clearly!

While the court was still discussing political affairs in a mess, the emperor's voice was heard. The emperor's voice was not loud, but in this era of supremacy of imperial power, even if the emperor accidentally sneezed or moved, other courtiers would notice it.

"Lu Aiqing, step forward, I won't be able to see you here." Zhao Yunhong suddenly said, anyway, he is also an incomprehensible emperor in the eyes of others, so he just smashed the can and smashed it.

The hall was suddenly quiet.

As if the noise had been pressed the pause button, it came to an abrupt end.

Lu Zha was at a loss for a moment, he really thought that this morning he was just a quiet background board, and even if he did anything, he would wait until later.

Being able to participate in the early dynasty will definitely have the opportunity to participate in national affairs.As long as he can seize the opportunity, he can do his own thing slowly.

But this is the first time he has been named by the emperor in the early court?Lu Zha had no choice but to stand in the middle of the hall, and many eyes fell on him for a moment.

"Your Majesty!" Suddenly, Yu Yushi yelled, and then said righteously: "This is not in compliance with the rules. The ranking of officials in history—"

Before Yu Yushi finished speaking, he was interrupted, Zhao Yunhong sighed, he wanted to appreciate Lu Aiqing why it was so difficult!Lu Aiqing didn't want to break his sleeves with him, and he couldn't give Lu Aiqing a couple for the rest of his life. He only wanted to see each other every day in court. Why couldn't such a small thing work?

"You say what you want, I'll take a look at Lu Aiqing."

What is there to see about this man?Yu Yushi's words were interrupted, and he looked at the person in the middle of the hall with anger. The person was wearing a seventh-rank official uniform and an official hat, his eyes were as black as ink, and his facial features were indescribable, as if they could be engraved in people's hearts As good as it is.

Yu Yushi looked at it, his face blushed strangely.He wanted to say something, but he saw Zhang Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet who had been closing his eyes and meditating, beckoning him to step down.

"Continue to the morning court." Zhang Song thought about the appearance of the Zhuangyuan Lang and the little emperor's attention to him, and a vague thought came to his mind, maybe the little emperor had a crush on the Zhuangyuan Lang, right?

This royal family has a criminal record.

But Zhang Songcheng's mansion is very deep, even if his thoughts are turned back and forth, he still has the appearance of an old god on his face.

The morning court was carried out in an orderly manner, and it didn't make any difference just because one person was a little closer.

Lu Zha's current position is Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Since he first joined the job, he has been consciously ranked at the bottom of the minister. Now that the emperor has spoken, Lu Zha is standing in the middle of the minister, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the subordinates of the left and right ministers.

A look of flattery.

The discussions in the court were all trivial matters. Lu Zha listened and didn't pay much attention. It wasn't until a memorial from the Ningbo Mansion was discussed that he regained his energy.

What is played in the memorial is that the Ningbo government has checked the government annals over the years, and through the observation of various signs this year, it is inferred that there may be floods in Ningbo this year.

Although there were many detailed evidences in the memorial, none of these high-ranking officials believed that there might be a flood in Ningbo Mansion. After all, there was no precedent to follow. Can natural disasters like floods be predicted by clues?

Several cabinet ministers also disagreed.

Now that the tone has been set, this memorial should not be published. This is a rule of thumb. Zhao Yunhong was about to speak, but he saw the person he had been watching all of a sudden come out of the queue and stood there again. In the middle of the hall.

Lu Zha saluted the little emperor, and his clear voice sounded slowly in the dull hall, as cool and cool as the mountain spring flowing in the mountains, "Your Majesty, I dare not agree with what the ministers said. Specialize. If we talk about rites and music articles, the courtiers are naturally better, but when it comes to floods and floods, we may not be as good as the people in this memorial."

"If the flood in the memorial didn't happen, but it was just a false alarm, that would be a good thing, but don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if it is really as the Ningbo Mansion played, countless lives will be lost. Human lives are a matter of heaven. It’s not too much to be cautious.” However, Lu Zha checked his original memory and was convinced that there was indeed a flood in Ningbo, but because the princes in the court did not pay attention to it, the loss was huge in the end, and he solemnly bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, be prepared before you are in danger. It is also said that before you think about victory, you think about defeat. Now that the court has got the news, why not make some preparations?"

"It's nonsense, why do you need to discuss it?" Many officials showed dismissive expressions, thinking to themselves, this minister of the Ministry of Rites is younger after all, and people can believe whatever they say in the memorial. It looks quite sacred, and its demeanor is also extremely outstanding, but it still needs a lot of training.

Lu Zha didn't have time to care about other people's gossip, and continued: "I would like to go to Ningbo to share your majesty's worries."

Zhang Song originally frowned and wanted to object, but after hearing Lu Zha's words, he suddenly changed his words, and said, "Your Majesty, what Lu Shilang said is true, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest, and the disease of slender mustard is unacceptable." Neglect. Your Majesty, just agree to Lu Shilang, it is rare that Lu Shilang has a heart."

After Zhang Song finished speaking, he fell silent again.He didn't want to do that either, but he was really afraid that the little emperor would inherit the habit of breaking sleeves from the other emperors of the country. In fact, it's nothing. After all, even when the emperor was the most incompetent, the government of the country was still guarded by cabinet ministers like them. Woolen cloth.

It's just that Zhuangyuan Lang is Qingliu, and as a representative of Qingliu in the world, he always has to take care of him a little bit, and he can't really let the little emperor play Zhuangyuanlang's idea.

On the dragon chair, Zhao Yunhong frowned and thought about it. He was extremely unwilling to let Lu Aiqing leave the capital, but now that Lu Aiqing asked, and other officials did not raise any objections after Master Zhang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, expressed his opinion.

Zhao Yunhong thought about it, but had no choice but to agree.

Lu Zha went to thank Zhang Song after he went to court, and Zhang Song smiled, with encouragement and a hint of melancholy in his smile: "The old man is doing his best. If you can speak bluntly, you really put the people of the world at heart. It's up, but...you, alas, do it for yourself."

Although Lu Zha was puzzled, he just smiled. Cabinet ministers like Zhang Song had always been his learning targets. Although he didn't understand Zhang Song's words very well, it didn't prevent him from writing them down.

After leaving the palace, Lu Zha quickly made a list, thinking about what preparations he should make if there was a flood, and only set off for Ningbo Mansion when the preparations were complete.

This time, he intends to make some real achievements.Although there may be risks, in his view, there may be more opportunities.

It is less than half a year before the heroine is reborn. This is the best time for him so far. When the heroine is reborn, he probably won't have the chance to leave the capital until he successfully plunders the heroine's halo.

When Lu Zha thought of the heroine, he couldn't help but turn his thoughts to the little emperor. He didn't understand the behavior of the little emperor this morning, and he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a while.

If he is a little emperor with such a powerful position, what kind of person does he want? If he really can't let go, can't he have an idea to get people around with his powerful position?

However, the performance of the little emperor does not look like an emperor, but just an ordinary person facing love and love.

Lu Zha thought for a while, and stopped thinking about it. He just hurried on his way in order to reach Ningbo Mansion as soon as possible.
