Kaolin Flower Raiders Guide

After returning to the palace, this farce ended by taking away the title of Concubine Guo Shu.

Guo made a mistake and was grounded for half a year, and the fourth prince was also grounded with her.As for the palace people involved, they were all handed over to Xie Shenyan, and Emperor Yunkang and him took a step back, barely maintaining a balance.

Suffering two dumb losses in a row, Emperor Yunkang felt like a thorn in his flesh every time he saw his eldest son.The two took turns to fight, Xie Shen said that there was no help in the court, and the people who helped behind the scenes did not dare to surface.In the end, Emperor Yunkang was so sophisticated, he was not granted a title before, let alone held an official position in the court, so Xie Shenyan was imprisoned in the palace in the name of being weak. .

The Ministry of Rites is good at judging people's faces, and in order to please Emperor Yunkang, he brought the matter of celebrating the emperor's fiftieth birthday to the table several months in advance.Emperor Yunkang suppressed a scourge for the time being, and felt joyful. With a swipe of his pen, he issued a decree on the same day to recruit wise men and open up Enke.

Enke was rare, and it was the first time since the establishment of this dynasty. Tens of thousands of students flocked to Chang'an, just waiting for Chunwei to start the exam.Several highly respected and respected old scholars in the Imperial Academy all had descendants and grandchildren to participate in the scientific examination, and Emperor Yunkang appointed Cui Yu, who did not need to be avoided, as the chief examiner.

Lu Xiao was caught by the teacher to pretend to be a strong man, and she was busy following Cui Yu all day long, thinking about the test questions.

When Cui Yu saw him in the past, he always hated iron for being weak. An upright number one scholar would not go to the Imperial Academy to edit, but went to various ministries of the court to fill in the vacancies with those second- and third-class Jinshi.

While sorting out the test questions from previous years, Lu Xiao said, "Teacher, don't be angry. You see, although I'm not in the Imperial Academy, I'm still here whenever I'm called."

"If you had stayed back then, you would be a fellow examiner now, but now, being coaxed by an old man like me to do things won't make you any good. Are you sorry?"

"It's not a loss, it's more interesting than anything else to be able to talk with the teacher!" Lu Xiao said sincerely, coaxing Cui Yu to tap him on the head angrily, but in fact, he had already revealed a few words. Come on with a smile.

Emperor Yunkang himself came up with the questions for the imperial examination, while Cui Yu was responsible for a question that screened out nine out of ten students.

The way of governing a country is a cliché, and a hundred or eighty different topics can be created out of it.Rectifying the barracks, water conservancy and river troubles, and solving the poverty of the people's livelihood... It is not the first time that Cui Yu has been the chief examiner. After a while, he avoided the old questions and drew up the questions for the Chunwei test.

Lu Xiao couldn't help but recall that when he entered Yun Palace at the beginning of the year, Emperor Yunkang asked a very interesting question, but it was not closely related to the government.

——The heart of a child.

With just these four words, all the students in the palace answered sentences like "Do your best to protect the people's livelihood", "If you are sincere, you will live forever", and so on, trying to rely on the government.

Because it was a strategic question, Emperor Yunkang didn't like nerds who dropped their bookbags, so the students in the palace only had to bow their heads to answer, without having to think about sentences on paper.

At that time, Lu Xiao lowered his eyebrows and said something. He was already ready for the last place in the palace examination. He didn't want to say something that hit Emperor Yunkang's mind and became the top of the list that year.

"Mencius said, the heart of a child, the way of sincerity, the combination of the two is the bridge to the other side. The heart of a child is certainly the way to govern the country, but those who are ambitious for the people may regret seeing the rascals of the people with their own eyes, and those who are ambitious It can also be seen that the people are lost because they are not living well. The heart of a child is hard to last, and it is not easy to be pure and kind.

Although the heart of a child is rare, it is unavoidable that it is too strong and easy to break, and it is too vague.Ordinary people can't go all the way to the dark, and jade still needs to be carefully studied, and the heart of a child is often just the heart of a child.The grassroots believe that building a foundation with a pure heart and seeking the way of sincerity is the true meaning of a pure heart. "

His remarks caused an uproar in the hall. The topic of innocence has a lot of room to play. The way of being a man and even the way of governing the country almost let the students speak freely.Most people who are familiar with the sages' books regard the heart of a child as a rare treasure, but this 17-year-old boy doesn't care much about his words, which is really hard to agree with.

All the examiners who were grading the examination papers in Chunwei praised the examinee surnamed Lu one after another. After listening to his words in front of the hall, more than half of them changed their minds.

Cui Yu was not included.

Yunkang Dili disregarded all opinions and became interested in Lu Xiao, telling him to look up.Seeing Lu Xiao's appearance, there was almost a wonderful incident where the number one scholar changed to Tanhua. Fortunately, Cui Yu defended vigorously, so that Lu Xiao could keep the title he deserved.

Cui Yu coughed lightly, and brought Lu Xiao back from the memory: "What's wrong, teacher?"

The old man asked without raising his head: "I heard that you are temporarily staying in Qi Mansion recently. Why, why don't you tell the teacher that you have no place to live?"

Lu Xiao shyly said, "Why are you bothering the teacher?"

Cui Yu burst into a smile, looked up at the tall and tall man outside the threshold, shook his head and said with a smile: "Come again tomorrow, Sun Yi is sick at home, old man, I don't want to make his proud disciple wait outside the door."

Lu Xiao argued with Cui Yu a few words, but kept looking out.Cui Yu pushed him out with a smile, and watched Lu Xiao leave happily.

Yangliu Yiyi by the roadside, Qi Jiansi and Lu Xiaowei rode in the carriage and walked side by side in the streets, passing by a group of carriages and horses beside them.

The leading soldiers were wearing silver armor, Lu Xiao glanced unintentionally: "Is that General Xue who the prince followed back to the capital?"

It was Emperor Yunkang's fiftieth birthday, and there were no major events at the border. He heard it some time ago, and said that several generals stationed in the camp would return to Chang'an to celebrate their birthdays.

Qi Jiansi nodded, acquiescing to his guess.

The two were just chatting casually, but they didn't know that there was a gaze in the accompanying people that glanced at the two of them inadvertently.

Before Xue Jin left, he repeatedly asked Lu Xuehen if he really wanted to go back to Chang'an with him.

The answers given by Lu Xuehen were all in the affirmative.

"Xiaoyu can't be used anymore, all the previous plans are invalid. He is now by Xie An's side. Although Xie An has listened to Li Wanjun's words and trusts him, he can't do anything. Ge Zhongxi is in the hands of Shen Yan. This is a once-in-a-lifetime time. Opportunity, if the commander and guard of Chang'an are restrained, everything will be easy to handle."

"The emperor may not recognize you."

"With so much blood on his hands, will he still remember who it belongs to?" Lu Xuehen smiled mockingly: "Xiaoyu's eyes are exactly the same as his father's, didn't Xie An even recognize it?" ?”

Uncle Xue has a strong body and many heirs.Xue Jin didn't live in Chang'an for long, but he had already separated his family and built a mansion. This time, he put all the people and horses in his mansion.Then he delivered a message to the palace, and Emperor Yunkang seemed to be in a good mood, so he summoned him immediately.

As he approached the palace gate, Lu Xuehen's gaze was serious, as if he had unloaded a huge stone in his heart, and seemed to be carrying a heavier burden.

Xue Jin turned his head and glanced at him.

Lu Xuehen said: "Let's go."

Lu Xuehen climbed up the white jade steps step by step until he stood in front of the hall and saw the aging face of Emperor Yunkang.

The crown prince stood on one side, and the two looked at each other. Lu Xuehen smiled at him lightly. The surprise on Xie Shenxing's face was quickly captured by Emperor Yunkang, and he asked, "What's the matter, okay?"

The initial surprise faded away, and Xie Shenxing said respectfully: "I wonder if my father still remembers what my son said, Mr. Lu who once saved my son in southern Xinjiang."

Emperor Yunkang originally thought that this thin man was just a young general next to Xue Jin, but he still remembered the Jiang Hu person Xie Shenxing said, he was a person who was not much more skilled than Commander Jiang.Immediately raised his eyes and said, "Is this the one in front of you?"

The prince replied yes.

Lu Xuehen's voice was as usual, maintaining his usual indifference: "Cao Min Lu met His Highness, it's not about saving lives, it's just a matter of little effort."

"Caomin?" Emperor Yunkang wondered, "You entered the palace with Xue Jin, how can you call yourself a Caomin?"

"Caomin passed through the southern border, and met General Xue by accident. By chance, he stayed in the camp for the time being, and dared not call himself a member of the army."

This is another story.Both the crown prince and Xue Jin praised him very much, and Emperor Yunkang felt itchy to hear it, and wished to see Lu Xuehen's kung fu with his own eyes, but it was not good for him to flex his muscles in the palace, so he had to give up.

Emperor Yunkang looked at Xue Jin, and suddenly smiled and said, "Xue Jin, Xue Jin, where did you learn the habit of soldiers and soldiers, and ask people to stay in the camp to do things for you, but you are not even willing to give it to a commander. "

Xue Jindao: "Your Majesty does not know that Brother Lu is from Chang'an, and the trip to the southern border is just a tour, so how can I forcefully detain him in the army. As soon as I have a chance to come back, I will go on the road together with Brother Lu."

"Oh? It's actually from Chang'an." Emperor Yunkang thought about it, and said with a pleasant face: "Then do you want to stay in Chang'an, or continue to travel abroad?"

Lu Xuehen sneered in her heart, and said with deep meaning: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Caomin has been traveling abroad for more than a year, and it's time to stay at home and take care of his parents."

He didn't have any parents, it was just a nonsense talk, but this talk just dispelled Xie Shenxing's sudden thought just now.

Lu Xiao is an orphan, this person must have nothing to do with Lu Xiao.

Emperor Yunkang was very satisfied, he stopped paying attention to Lu Xuehen, and started talking to Xue Jin instead.When the two of them left the palace, Emperor Yunkang slowly leaned on the dragon chair, ordered several masters in the forbidden area to try Lu Xuehen's kung fu, and said to the prince who was still standing there: "OK, if he If he can defeat three people in a row, he will be assigned to the command battalion."

Those who were banned were all people that Emperor Yunkang had been used to since he was a child. After all, Lu Xuehen was a person whose background was not clear, so it was the best thing to put him in the Chang'an command camp.

A few days later, Lu Xuehen, who was placed in Xue Jin's mansion, received the imperial decree to temporarily act as the deputy commander of the Chang'an Command Battalion.

As usual, Lu Xiao went out of the mansion with Qi Jiansi, and the Qi mansion carriage sent him to the Imperial Academy first, and then transferred to Yushitai.The corners and corners of the carriage are covered with soft satin, still like this, Lu Xiao still hugged the back of Qi Jiansi's neck as if he had no bones, and licked his lips with insatiable desire, before lifting the curtain car.

Through the pane on one side, Qi Jiansi saw him stepping into the threshold, and opened his lips to tell the coachman to divert to Yushitai.

Before the carriage moved two steps forward, Qi Jiansi suddenly said, "Stop!"

The driver stopped at a loss, and asked through the curtain, "Master, what happened?"

Qi Jiansi was speechless, jumped out of the carriage, and quickly chased in the opposite direction, hesitantly facing a thin figure: "Brother Lu, is that you?"

Qi Jiansi was not familiar with Lu Xuehen, so naturally he would not remember his back view, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of half of his face when he was on the carriage.The man was wearing a green shirt and a long robe, and seemed to be coming from the direction of the palace, but that half of his face really looked like Lu Xuehen.With the idea that he would rather believe it, Qi Jiansi stopped his horse and got off his horse to catch up.

The man in Tsing Yi turned half of his body indifferently, and smiled coldly: "It's you, Lord Qi."

His smile is more like a deliberate, forced friendliness.

Qi Jiansi burst of blood welled up in his heart, he is not young, and he has seen many things in the world, and now he will not be angry because of the indifference and contempt of others.

This face was indeed the face that belonged to Lu Xuehen in his impression.

It wasn't this face or this person that made Qi Jiansi's hands and feet feel cold, but a very short laugh just now.

On the night of Yunzhou's assassination, the pain of a sword piercing through the side of his waist still engraved in his heart.The laughter from Lu Xuehen's throat coincided strangely with the contemptuous chuckle of the man in black.

In other words, the two voices are exactly the same.
