Daming Wuhou

Behind the Meridian Gate is the Fengtian Gate, inside the Fengtian Gate is the main hall, the Fengtian Hall, and in front of the hall, there are Wenlou and Wulou on the left and right.

This is why Emperor Hongwu asked Gongsheng.

Fengtian Hall sits on three floors of Han steps, nine rooms wide and five rooms deep.Where can ordinary people see such a style?The Gongsheng students all tensed up, not daring to show their breath, and even looking at them, they only dared to take a quick glance, then lowered their heads to show respect, how could there be such an arrogance like the proud son of the inn?

The guards guard the gate of the palace.

Inside the door there are palace servants, examiners, and even ministers.

They stood still, not even daring to lift their heads.

For them, seeing the Son of Heaven was really unimaginable, and the awe and fear in their hearts overwhelmed the joy of coming to the Golden Palace.

But for Lu Changting, it was completely different.It was just another occasion, seeing Emperor Hongwu again.But when he returned from the Northern Expedition last time, he even went to court, would he still be afraid of this moment?Lu Changting raised his head generously, there is absolutely no rule not to look directly at Tianyan.

After raising his head, Lu Changting also noticed Emperor Hongwu's gaze.

Emperor Hongwu was looking at him, of course his face softened a little.

……

He Ziyou, who was in the back row, also raised his head slightly.He really wanted to see what His Majesty the Emperor looked like, and how majestic he must be!But he also knew that in front of the palace, one must not lose one's manners.Just when he was struggling secretly...he suddenly realized that Lu Changting, standing in the front, raised his head!

He Ziyou held his breath, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

Being so bold in front of the hall should be enough for him to drink a pot later!

Sure enough, as he thought, this Lu Changting was too arrogant, even in front of the emperor, he was not afraid of anything.It's a pity, standing in front of the hall, how can anyone be presumptuous?He Ziyou felt gloating in his heart.

So what if it's the first name Huiyuan?

He Ziyou waited quietly for Emperor Hongwu to attack Lu Changting.

It's just that he waited for a while, and then for a while... but he still didn't see the most honorable person in the world make a sound.He Ziyou wanted to raise his head to see what was going on, but he didn't dare to raise his head.

Anxiety surrounded his heart, which made He Ziyou feel extremely uncomfortable.

But at this moment, Emperor Hong Wu said: "You are all the talents of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and you all raised your heads, let me take a closer look at your appearance."

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, and all of them carefully tried to raise their heads.

He Ziyou was taken aback for a moment, this... In this way, wouldn't Lu Changting be regarded as a disgrace in front of the palace?Deep disappointment welled up in He Ziyou's heart.

But it is also good to see the face of His Majesty the Emperor.

Everyone raised their heads one after another.

At a glance, they saw Emperor Hongwu sitting on his seat. He had obviously benevolent facial features, but they were scary for no reason.Some people couldn't help but break out in cold sweat immediately.And He Ziyou was sweating even more on his forehead at this time.

Who is that!

He Ziyou screamed frantically from the bottom of his heart.

He actually saw a man in a red robe standing beside Emperor Hongwu. Wasn't this man the one who sat in the carriage with Lu Changting that day?Isn't he Lu Changting's brother?He was able to stand beside Emperor Hongwu!He Ziyou realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.But what is the real identity of the man... He Ziyou faintly dare not think about it.

He Ziyou was not the only one who noticed this.I satirized Lu Changting and those people with He Ziyou before, but I was also stunned at this time... There are some other people who also noticed Lu Changting and the man beside him when the list was announced.Naturally, he was also shocked at this time.

Those who can come here are not fools. They can vaguely deduce the identity of the man based on his position and appearance.It's just that the more I infer, the more frightened I feel.

"Hmm... yes, they are all insightful people of my Ming Dynasty." Emperor Hongwu praised.

Only Lu Changting could see at this moment that Emperor Hongwu's admiration was obviously superficial. Among this group of tributes, there might not be many who could be appreciated by Emperor Hongwu.

Everyone didn't know that even though Emperor Hongwu's words were short, they still heard a deep appreciation for themselves, all of them were red-eyed, and their necks were so thick with excitement, they could not wait to rush forward and meet His Majesty Biao Yitong devoted himself to the imperial court.

Lu Changting blinked, thinking, this is probably a natural advantage of the superior.

A few words can always exchange the enthusiasm of the subordinates.

Lu Changting turned his head and glanced at He Ziyou... Oh, there must be someone who is cold-blooded here.Can it be cold?Lu Changting looked at his face, He Ziyou should have pointed out that he was making a fool of himself and had to be scolded just now, how could he know that he didn't get any scolding, He Ziyou was disappointed.

I'm afraid there will be more disappointments later.

Lu Changting turned his head slowly, not looking at He Ziyou again.

Soon, the questioning began.

With so many tributes, naturally not every one of them would come to the emperor to inquire and see how capable you are.Instead, the emperor came up with a policy question, and everyone wrote it on paper, and then handed it to the emperor.Only those who are particularly outstanding among them can get more detailed inquiries from the emperor.Otherwise, if there are hundreds of people in Gongshida, if Emperor Hongwu listens to everyone, he will be exhausted to death.

It's just that in the Golden Palace, it is inevitable that some people will make mistakes due to nervousness.

Lu Changting noticed that someone was too excited to hold the pen tightly.

However, Wu Guanxuan beside him was very calm, he had already studied ink and picked up a pen to write without pausing at all, it seemed that the topic of this policy question couldn't help him at all.

Lu Changting also finished his ink slowly, picked up a pen and started writing...

Coincidentally, the policy question that Emperor Hongwu asked was exactly the one that Dao Yan had mentioned to him.What Dao Yan taught him alone is enough. If you add some insights from later generations, you will naturally stand out.Lu Changting calmed down and wrote quietly.

Once a person is in a state of mind, his reaction to his surroundings becomes extremely slow.

Lu Changting didn't know how long it had passed. When he put down the pen and raised his head, Gong Sheng was desperately writing the content on the paper while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Lu Changting sat down with his hands down, slowly reviewing the paper.

At this time, Lu Changting had to sigh, Dao Yan's ability is really not small.What he once said to himself, he really applied it in the exam.No wonder Dao Yan always fooled himself, bragging about his abilities invisibly.No wonder, this monk Daoyan can become a solid stone on the road to Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty.

After Lu Changting finished reviewing the papers, he still felt a lot of Dao Yan's ability in his heart... There are still many people who have not finished answering.

This wait is a long time.

The hall was extremely quiet, and others didn't even dare to breathe, it was really not very interesting.If it weren't for Zhu Biao and Hong Wudi still staring at it, Lu Changting could not help showing his impatience.

"Close the pen!" Lu Changting breathed a sigh of relief when the sound rang in his ears.

But among the rest of the Gongsheng students, there were sighs of regret and extremely low cries... It seems that many people have been eliminated.

Lu Changting turned his head and glanced at He Ziyou. He Ziyou's face turned pale, but compared to the people around him, he was calm.It seems that the answer is not satisfactory... He Ziyou was counting on him to make a fool of himself in the Golden Palace, but he probably didn't expect that he was the one who was the first to make a mess.

The papers were soon presented to Emperor Hongwu.

A eunuch next to him laid out the papers one by one.

All the tribute students held their breath again, cold sweat dripped from their foreheads.

The Gongsheng students saw that Emperor Hongwu took out some papers, and waved to the man beside him, "Prince, come and have a look."

Zhu Biao responded with a bow, and strode forward.

This sentence fell into the hearts of He Ziyou and others. It was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, and even seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.The little luck in their hearts was completely gone...

It's the prince!

He is really a prince!

What is Lu Changting's ability to befriend the prince!

Thinking of the sarcasm and ridicule that the Japanese said that day, they felt their legs go weak for a while.Fortunately, they did not go to Lu Changting that day, otherwise they would have been remembered by His Royal Highness as a bad impression.Well, what's the deal?Can a person who offends the prince have any future to speak of?

These people were afraid for a while, and looked at Lu Changting with fear.

And He Ziyou froze there, he tried his best not to show jealous eyes in Lu Changting's direction, after all, the emperor and the crown prince were sitting at the seat, and there were other civil servants in the palace... Who should have revealed it at this time? look, then he really couldn't eat and walked away.

He Ziyou reluctantly settled down.

Maybe... maybe Lu Changting is really capable.But there is another Shi Xian...

When Shi Xian took the exam, he was still behind him... In the palace exam, maybe a country bumpkin like Shi Xian was more panicked, and he didn't answer well after all.

He Ziyou once again let go of his heart in self-comfort.

It's been a long and hard time... because the emperor and prince are admiring their arguments.They were tense and expectant... they didn't even dare to look away.

Lu Changting felt even more difficult.

He is probably really not suitable for the court, maybe he will find it boring in the morning court in the future.Lu Changting sighed from the bottom of his heart, his eyes wandered for a while, and then inadvertently met Zhu Biao's eyes.Zhu Biao gave him a teasing look, but didn't do anything else.

After all, in the hall, under the watchful eyes of everyone.Court etiquette does not allow Zhu Biao to make more actions.

Lu Changting was a little embarrassed, he quickly fixed his eyes and stopped looking around.

But others may not have noticed this scene, but He Ziyou and others did.Including those who noticed Zhu Biao early on the day when the results were released, they all also noticed this scene.After all, since they stepped into the palace, they were full of shock after seeing Zhu Biao, so they couldn't help but pay attention to Zhu Biao frequently... They naturally noticed this attention.

The more they paid attention, the more frightened they felt.

That day Lu Changting was accompanied by the prince! ! !

Look at this, the relationship between Lu Changting and the prince is very good! ! !

Those who used to be with He Ziyou regretted it now.If they had known this earlier, they shouldn't have gotten together with He Ziyou.

He Ziyou also felt a little weak in his calves.

How will Lu Changting deal with him?

No, there is no rush.Wait a minute, Lu Changting can get good grades in the general examination, but what about the imperial examination?

He Ziyou gritted his teeth, quietly waiting for the final result.

Finally, Emperor Hong Wu raised his head and said, "Tang Zhen, Ren Hengtai, Wu Guanxuan, Wu Qian... Come out and let me have a look."

As soon as He Ziyou heard Wu Guanxuan's name, he knew that Emperor Hongwu wanted to praise these people.He Ziyou almost laughed out loud, that's great!There is no Lu Changting's name in it hahaha... Forgive him no matter how proud he is, but he doesn't get any rank in the palace examination, that's useless!

At this moment, Lu Changting himself was also a little confused.After all, there are a lot of talents, he doesn't say he won the first place, but it's not too bad...

Dao Yan's full of knowledge was forcefully stuffed into his stomach.

Lu Changting's heart beat unconsciously, as if in his previous life when he was waiting for the results of the college entrance examination.

Lu Changting couldn't help pinching his own fingers to restrain his emotions.

At this time, Emperor Hongwu was commending the few people who came out, commenting on their articles one by one.Among those few people there were many older ones, only Wu Guanxuan looked extremely young, quite a bit of a standout from the crowd.The rest of the people were a little moved, and tears filled their eyes under Emperor Hongwu's praise.Wu Guanxuan's eyes were only slightly red, showing a slightly excited expression, but he did not lose his composure too much.Lu Changting guessed that his appearance should make a better impression on Emperor Hongwu.

A young talented person is even more appreciated by a majestic emperor like Emperor Hongwu.

At this moment, Emperor Hongwu suddenly said: "Lu Changting."

Because only Lu Changting's name was pronounced, and the tone was more serious, everyone was taken aback.

He Ziyou suddenly felt ecstatic.Could it be that Emperor Hongwu wanted to blame him?

But the next moment, He Ziyou's heart sank heavily.

They only heard Emperor Hongwu laughing and saying: "Changting really did not disappoint me! The crown prince has said many times to ask King Yan to find a good teacher for you. Now it seems that this teacher is really right! Good good good good! It is really good !"

Everyone's hearts sank suddenly, and everyone couldn't hide their shock.

Just now Wu Guanxuan and others were praised, but at that time Emperor Hongwu was extremely restrained, but when it was Lu Changting's turn, he unabashedly expressed his praise and comfort, and his tone always made people feel close a bit……

If they are said to be disciples of the Son of Heaven, then what is this Lu Changting?

He is like the nephew of Emperor Hongwu!

Could it be said that Lu Changting's father and brother are some kind of princes and nobles, who can speak well in front of Emperor Hongwu?

Lu Changting was actually a little dazed at the moment, he didn't expect Emperor Hong Wu to talk to him in such a pleasant and friendly tone.However, Lu Changting quickly recovered his emotions, and said: "The teacher was invited by the King of Qin. You should praise the King of Qin."

As soon as these words came out, the others were surprised again.

This Lu Changting actually has friendship with King Qin?Then I contacted someone in the inn before saying that this person surnamed Lu came from Yan Wang's mansion... They were completely dumbfounded and speechless.I also don't know what kind of ability this Lu Changting has, to be able to discuss friendship with the prince and prince, and to be so favored by Emperor Hongwu...

They were jealous and felt that they were unlucky to bump into such a god-man just now!

Thinking back to the ridicule of others in the inn before, it was too superficial...

Emperor Hongwu smiled: "You have the ability, you called him 'brother', and brought all the teachers he invited back to Yanwang Mansion."

Lu Changting faintly sensed that Emperor Hongwu was promoting himself openly.He made a lot of achievements before, but he came from a low family background and had no fame, so he always lacked some points.At that time, the lack of praise given to him by Emperor Hongwu seemed to be made up for today.

Lu Changting pursed his lips and smiled, and said very cooperatively: "It's not the first time such a thing has been done..."

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "That's right, I gave him all my letters..."

Emperor Hongwu smiled: "Then how did you exploit the fourth child?"

Lu Changting didn't know how to answer this question.How was Zhu Di exploited by him?Probably what he wants, he has it.Lu Changting said in a low voice: "It's nothing else, but the fourth brother has a good sword, so I took the one I made and exchanged it with him."

After finishing speaking, Lu Changting suddenly realized that he unconsciously called Zhu Di as "fourth brother".He looked up at Emperor Hongwu, but there was no displeasure on Emperor Hongwu's face.

Lu Changting thought to himself, Emperor Hongwu probably wants to firmly affix the royal label on him.

Lu Changting is still feeling emotional here, but everyone there is eager to stare at a hole from Lu Changting's body.Who is not jealous!To be able to talk freely with Emperor Hongwu is something they dreamed of!

Emperor Hongwu gradually restrained the look on his face, and said, "Come here, take Lu Changting's test paper and pass it on to everyone."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not quite understanding what Emperor Hongwu was going for.

Lu Changting's expression became slightly complicated.He roughly guessed what Emperor Hongwu did.

Emperor Hongwu wanted to give him a good ranking, so in order to make all the tribute students feel respected and affirmed, he specially distributed his test papers for circulation.What Emperor Hongwu did just now was just to explain to everyone that he has a deep relationship with the royal family, and if he wanted to be an official, he could do it, but this fame was obtained by himself.

But... I'm afraid that some people will take this as evidence of his cheating in the imperial examination - since he is familiar with the royal family, wouldn't it be easy to rank among the top?

Everyone quickly circulated Lu Changting's test paper.

Of course, there are those who are shocked, those who disdain, and those who are jealous...

All these fell into Lu Changting's eyes, and Lu Changting believed that they would also fall into Hong Wudi's eyes.

The president stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that this policy is written in every detail, and it is really insightful! There is really a lot of room for it to be used."

What did Lu Changting write?

The policy topic given by Emperor Hongwu was actually very broad. He asked all the tribute scholars, if there are any omissions and deficiencies in the Ming Dynasty, how should we deal with them?

Most people dare not say what is wrong with Ming Dynasty, let alone talk about national policies, for fear that if one sentence is wrong, they will fail the ranking, and it will be terrible to cause even greater disasters.There are also some people who think that they are not afraid of authority and dare to speak the truth.So they wrote hundreds of words eloquently, criticizing Daming...

And Lu Changting just gave a speculation and analysis about inflation in the late Ming Dynasty, and by the way gave some suggestions provided by Dao Yan and enriched by him.

Inflation was serious in the late Ming Dynasty, and the precious banknotes were worthless at all.Inflation often represents economic collapse, and economic collapse will inevitably affect people's livelihood.

This is exactly what Lu Changting wrote.

At this time, it was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and the treasure banknotes had just been released. No matter what they bad-mouthed the treasure banknotes, no one would come to bad-mouth the treasure banknotes.Lu Changting is naturally unique and novel.Of course, Lu Changting reckoned that Emperor Hongwu must have been angry when he saw it for the first time.No emperor likes to be criticized for his New Deal.However, a majestic emperor like Emperor Hongwu is naturally not so narrow-minded. After the initial anger, he will realize the significance of this thing.

Policy dissemination is complete.

After seeing the goods, people who know the goods will naturally find Lu Changting's theories really amazing.Those who don't know the goods feel that Lu Changting's literary talent is not as good as his own.Of course, there are those who are jealous, who instinctively reject Lu Changting's theories...

In this way, Lu Changting's paper has compared many old gongshi.

Lu Changting didn't feel blushed.Although many of the analytical techniques were taught to him by Dao Yan, but being able to memorize these things and turn them into his own use is his ability, and no one can make a fool of him.

Emperor Hongwu spoke at this time: "Changting is young, but he has made a lot of contributions."

Countless Gongsheng students don't know Lu Changting well. After all, in this era, it's not that you have done something great, and then there is news for you to spread immediately.Therefore, when they heard the words, they were somewhat indifferent in their hearts.

Just like Lu Changting, who is young, looks thin and tender, and can't bear hardships, what credit can he make?

At this time, Emperor Hongwu continued: "Although you were born in a poor family, you were able to help the people when you were in the central capital. Later, when you came to Yingtian, you solved a problem for the prince. Afterwards, you followed the King of Qin to Xi'an, and helped the King of Qin win the White Lotus Sect." Anti-thief. He also made countless contributions in Beiping, and helped the King of Yan destroy many altars of the White Lotus Sect. Taking down mountain bandits, fighting remnants of yuan... Changting is only a weak crown, but he can achieve this achievement in both civil and military skills. It can be seen that I am a young man in Ming Dynasty Yingcai! You won the first place in the provincial and general examinations, and today I will also nominate you as the first name, how about sharing three yuan with you?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

He Ziyou was also stunned, almost unable to speak.

How can it be?

Could these feats be accomplished by him?It's just... ridiculous!This is impossible……

Three yuan!

Three yuan!

These three words kept flashing through He Ziyou's mind.

Could it be that the emperor really decided to let him also get the first place in the palace examination?

He Ziyou suddenly felt that his throat was extremely dry, and a bitter taste filled his mouth.How did that happen?What makes Lu Changting stand out?Because... because of a good face?

"Second minister." Wen Chen and the president both bowed.

Emperor Hongwu nodded and said, "Prepare pen and ink."

Immediately beside him, a eunuch put paper, ink, pen and inkstone.

Everyone held their breath, let alone dared to speak.They knew that Emperor Hongwu would personally set their rankings on it...

After a while, Emperor Hongwu took the pen away.The eunuch at the side took the red paper carefully, and sang on the spot: "The gold list of the Wuchen Imperial Examination, the first rank will be awarded Jinshi and No. 3." The eunuch paused, but everyone's hearts were hanging up. Although No.1 has no suspense, but there are two or three...

Their future is all tied on that piece of paper.

"Lu Changting, the No. [-] winner will be awarded Jinshi and rank. Ren Hengtai, the first and second rank will be awarded Jinshi and rank. Tang Zhen, the first and third rank will be awarded Jin Shi and rank."

"Second Jia bestows jinshi with fourteen backgrounds."

"Wu Guanxuan, from the background of the second best Jinshi..."

Hearing this, Lu Changting couldn't help but glanced in Wu Guanxuan's direction.Except for him, a figure who shouldn't have existed in history, occupying the first place, the other top ones may all become important officials of the Ming Dynasty in the future...

Young people like Wu Guanxuan will definitely have more prospects in the future.

"...Second A and four..."

"Five..."

He Ziyou gradually became flustered.Without him, without his name in front... Lu Changting would have won the first prize, but what about him?He has nothing!

And at this moment, the eunuch sang: "Shi Xian, the second-ranked ninth-ranked Jinshi."

He Ziyou was completely stunned, and he yelled frantically in his heart: Impossible!How could Shi Xian rank ninth?Impossible impossible!

The others were also stunned, and couldn't help but looked at Lu Changting one after another.

What Lu Changting said that day in the inn seemed to still ring in his ears. ... I wish you the best of luck.

The leader is gone... But it is also equivalent to winning the leader!Second place!Give Jinshi background!What kind of shit luck did Shi Xian go!

Lu Changting was also slightly surprised.I didn't expect Shi Xian to be among the top... Lu Changting didn't think this was his skill anymore.A person's knowledge cannot be changed, which shows that Shi Xian has this talent, why his ranking in the general examination is not high, maybe it's just that he is good at something different.All he can do for Shi Xian is to let him have more luck, so that there will be no accidents that affect his answer.Otherwise, if feng shui really can make a fool get the first place in the exam, then everyone should ask for feng shui, and don't learn anything.

……

It's just that Lu Changting thinks this way, but others don't necessarily think so.

He Ziyou wanted to shout out immediately, this is Lu Changting's handwriting!It was he who changed Feng Shui, that's why Shi Xian got this ranking!Maybe Lu Changting changed his luck for himself!He Ziyou blushed, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

He still had some reason left, he knew that if he shouted recklessly at this time, he would definitely be expelled immediately, maybe he would lose his life...

It's just that the more I listened, the less He Ziyou could hear his name...

without him...

Really without him!

He Ziyou's heart gradually sank to the bottom.how come?Mingming, Mingming will take the exam, and the grades are acceptable.Why is this so?Not to mention Jinshi's background... even in the list of Jinshi's background, there is no place for him!A total of 78 people!But there is no place for him.

There was already someone in the hall shaking slightly.

He Ziyou froze there, motionless.

Failed...he failed...he failed to win the Jinshi!Thinking about how he mocked Lu Changting for not being able to win a Jinshi, He Ziyou felt as if his heart was being weighed down by a big rock, making him breathless.The boast of family, friends and neighbors in the past turned into a cold sword at this time, piercing He Ziyou's chest with a sharp pain.How can he go back?

He Ziyou was at a loss for a moment.

After the rankings were sung, Emperor Hongwu said a few more words of kindness.Then they were sent out of the palace.

After that, officials will be bestowed, and there will be imperial edicts.

But these have nothing to do with him, He Ziyou... He Ziyou left Fengtian Hall in a daze.

Wu Guanxuan took the initiative to walk to Lu Changting's side: "Congratulations, Yuan Chi."

"Congratulations." Lu Changting said with a faint smile.

He Ziyou looked at it not far away, and suddenly felt that the flame of jealousy in his heart was burning hotter.He strode over here with a sullen face, and the rest of Gongsheng were startled by his appearance, but no one dared to stop him.This is still in Fengtianmen, is He Ziyou crazy?He was crazy, and they didn't dare to follow him. If he accidentally got involved, it would be a terrible trouble.

Wu Guanxuan sensed something was wrong, he turned around, glanced at He Ziyou, and directly blocked him with a wrong step: "What are you doing?" Wu Guanxuan lowered his voice, but the coldness in his tone did not suppress it at all.

When He Ziyou met Wu Guanxuan's cold gaze, he shuddered immediately, then suddenly calmed down, and said in a low voice, "Brother Wu..."

"Go back." Wu Guanxuan said.

He Ziyou gritted his teeth: "Why did Brother Wu get along with such a person? Why did he get this ranking? Isn't it because of the feng shui..."

"If you lose, you lose. What are you looking for excuses for?" Wu Guanxuan's face became even colder: "This is inside the Meridian Gate. How are you doing? If you can't get a Jinshi, do you want to play tricks?"

Lu Changting blinked beside him.Can't tell, He Ziyou is still so afraid of Wu Guanxuan.

He Ziyou's indignation was suppressed abruptly again: "Yes... yes, here, this is inside the Meridian Gate." The last sentence, He Ziyou seemed to be speaking to himself.

However, he managed to suppress his emotions.

Seeing this, Wu Guanxuan breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Lu Changting and said, "Yuan Chi, let's go."

Lu Changting always felt that He Ziyou's complexion seemed to be distorted at that moment.

Lu Changting's expression was a little weird.This He Ziyou...won't it be because of Wu Guanxuan that you hate him so much?

Lu Changting said in a low voice, "Let's go first."

Wu Guanxuan was startled: "But there is something else?"

Lu Changting shook his head: "Suddenly I'm tired, I want to walk slowly."

Wu Guanxuan smiled and said: "Then I will accompany you."

Lu Changting: ...

Sure enough, Lu Changting found that He Ziyou's face was even more unattractive.

Lu Changting reached out and pointed in He Ziyou's direction: "Call him along."

Wu Guanxuan also knew that He Ziyou could not be allowed to mess around here, so he nodded immediately and asked He Ziyou, "Go out together?"

He Ziyou gritted his teeth and nodded, with a face full of humiliation.

Lu Changting just thought it was funny.There will be today, isn't he asking for it?However, Wu Guanxuan's failure was indeed beyond his expectation.This Wu Guanxuan dared to be so perverse, he should have two points of ability, why didn't he even keep the top three?

Because of the presence of He Ziyou, the atmosphere was particularly stiff for a while, and no one could speak.Lu Changting liked it quite a bit, he was happy and quiet.

After going out, a carriage immediately came to pick them up.

Wu Guanxuan said: "I'm very happy today, why don't I treat Yuan Chi to a drink?"

Lu Changting waved his hand: "Let me be the host."

Wu Guanxuan did not refuse, and immediately agreed happily.

He Ziyou immediately couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Lu Changting, do you feel proud that you won today's first place by means of feng shui?"

Lu Changting said lightly: "I haven't been proud yet, why don't I show it to you someday?"

He Ziyou was choked on the spot and almost bled.

"You... If I tell you about this..."

"Who should I tell? President? He also read my policy today. Didn't you hear what he said?"

"I……"

"Who should I tell? Your Majesty? Didn't you see how much your Majesty appreciates me today?"

"you……"

Lu Changting said lightly: "If I'm full of straw, no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to get on the gold list. How did the wooden plaque come about? What kind of thoughts did the person who gave you this thing have? Don’t know? If you really want to talk about Feng Shui, you have to be careful to involve yourself in it.”

He Ziyou's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth slowly, unable to speak.

And he is indeed not Lu Changting's opponent.

Lu Changting felt quite lonely for a while, and there was no match for him even talking about it...

At this time, Wu Guanxuan calmly said: "Yuan Chi is right, brother He, you are also full of talents, why is this so? But wait for another two years... when you are more determined, you will surely get a better ranking. "

He Ziyou froze there, speechless.

Lu Changting looked at He Ziyou.In front of Wu Guanxuan, this person is really similar to a quail.It is also strange.But if Wu Guanxuan can persuade him, it is also a good thing.Although Lu Changting hated this person, he intended to trap Shi Xian, but instead he trapped himself.This is regarded as retribution, there is no need to fight to the death with him.

"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant that day." Lu Changting said.

Wu Guanxuan nodded with a smile, and walked forward together with Lu Changting.

He Ziyou froze in place, and the people who had arranged Lu Changting together with him before ran away with no expression on their faces when they saw him.He Ziyou was stunned for a moment, and cursed angrily, "They're all boneless goods!"

At least... at least he dared to argue with Lu Changting.

Before those people knew that Lu Changting had a personal relationship with the crown prince, they scolded Lu Changting together with him, and after they found out, they immediately pretended not to know him.

He Ziyou sneered, everyone really knows how to pretend!

But how about those people, the list on the gold list was quickly passed down.Whoever won the first place in the imperial examination immediately spread the word in Yingtian Mansion.

Lu Changting?It's a name I've never heard of.The common people became interested in this name.

But the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, even the princes and nobles knew who this Lu Changting was.After hearing this, they couldn't help sighing.This man is really lucky.He has done a lot of great things before, and now that he has been named on the gold list, the future is naturally bright!No wonder His Majesty never saw him as an official before... He didn't even count his military merits.It turned out to be waiting here!If those credits are accumulated in one place, Lu Changting's official position may not be underestimated...

----

As soon as Lu Changting and Wu Guanxuan stepped into the restaurant, they immediately shot towards them in unison.

"What do you mean?" Lu Changting asked Wu Guanxuan.

Wu Guanxuan said in a low voice: "I'm afraid the news has already spread."

"So fast?"

"How can you be unhappy about releasing the gold list?" Wu Guanxuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid these people are very curious about what the champion of the gold list looks like..."

Lu Changting glanced at them, then walked upstairs calmly.

It turned out that these people were just looking out of curiosity.Then there is nothing to care about.

After being seated, the two ordered food.

Wu Guanxuan said in a low voice: "Yuan Chi, there is something I have to remind you."

"What's the matter?" Lu Changting was a little surprised, what could Wu Guanxuan need to remind him?

"Maybe He Ziyou won't say those nonsense words again, but what about others? Changting, the name of Fengshui... If there are people who are jealous and deliberately frame you, what should we do?" Wu Guanxuan's worried tone was very sincere.

Lu Changting glanced at him in surprise: "Brother Wu, wouldn't you suspect that I really used Feng Shui methods?"

Wu Guanxuan smiled and said: "How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? If so, wouldn't it be possible to do whatever you want as long as you invite a Feng Shui master at home?"

Lu Changting hooked his lips: "That's exactly the reason."

"But some losers are always willing to use this as an excuse to cover up their failure." Wu Guanxuan said.

Lu Changting nodded: "I've made a note of this matter." It's not that he is relieved, but that this matter really doesn't affect him much.At most, Emperor Hongwu called him to ask him.He remembered that Jin Yiwei hadn't withdrawn at this time, and if he wanted to talk nonsense at the emperor's feet, he had to have not only a bit of courage, but also a bit of skill.

I'm afraid those rumors won't spread far...

"But Brother Wu and I have acquaintance, are you not afraid that they will misunderstand Brother Wu?" Lu Changting asked.

Wu Guanxuan said indifferently: "A gentleman is open-minded, so naturally he doesn't care about such things."

Lu Changting thought to himself, it has nothing to do with being frank or not. Wu Guanxuan's ability to say this sentence shows that there is a great support behind it.

But Lu Changting didn't ask about these.After all, we have very little acquaintance, so what's the point of probing someone's family background?

After the two finished their meal, they returned to the inn.

And at this time, someone was indeed thinking about making a false accusation...
