Raise an emperor as a villain

The Chunwei scientific research in the first year of Jing'an was quite different from previous years.There was no dispute over the candidate for the chief examiner, and in the end it was the one appointed by Emperor Zhao.

Chang Ji, a veteran of the four dynasties, served successively as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Chief Editor of the Imperial Academy, and Prince Taifu. He once taught several generations of emperors in the Xiaoming Dynasty.Such a person's strength is naturally beyond doubt, and what is even more commendable is that he has never participated in party struggles and is the most suitable candidate.

Duan Wenzheng also wanted to refute Mingjue's will on the grounds of Changji's old age, but he had no choice but to compromise that although Changji was old, his body was extremely healthy.

The results after revealing the rankings are also surprising, the top three in the first class are all newcomers who have just appeared.

The top champion is Fu Minghua, from Zhejiang.The second place is also from Zhejiang, and it is Su Jia, a playboy who has been famous in the capital recently.Tanhualang is the protagonist of the story, Lu Hengxiu.

After the imperial examinations in the past, the situation of the court has also undergone subtle changes.

This time, due to the regular and impartial employment, many scholars from poor families were selected, and some of them were clinging to the powerful, but most of them stood in the new emperor's queue with the idea of ​​"loyalty to the emperor".Among them, the most eye-catching one is the No. [-] scholar Fu Minghua.

Before the results came out, he could be regarded as penniless, but once he became famous, the world knew it.Naturally, people who came to make friends were indispensable, and even Duan Wenzheng expressed his appreciation to him.But Fu Minghua upheld his integrity and vowed in public that he would never stand in line, and was hated by all the ministers, but because of this, Ming Jue looked at him with admiration.

As for Su Jia, who was born in a noble family, he naturally mixed in with the officials' dudes.Although he was second in the list, he was not valued very much by others. Everyone thought he was just a dandy who came to dawdle.Occasionally, some small officials who came to make friends with him, he prepared banquets to entertain them well, and handled things impartially and tactfully.

As for Lu Hengxiu, after the announcement of the list, he immediately went to Duan Mansion to pay a visit to Duan Wenzheng, leaving aside even Chang Ji, a serious mentor.

It was only at this time that the Beijing officials suddenly realized that Lu Hengxiu completely dismissed their overtures, not because he was aloof, but because he couldn't get into the eyes of others.

So they also discussed that although Lu Hengxiu was a candidate, he climbed to the high branch of Duan Wenzheng early.In the future, his official career will definitely be full of flowers and his future is boundless. I am afraid that he will be able to enter the cabinet in a short time.

In contrast, Fu Minghua and Su Jia were not so conspicuous.

Whether it was a courtier or a Jinshi of the same discipline, everyone felt a little bit jealous of Lu Hengxiu.But they were all smiling and congratulating, and the people coming and going almost never broke through the small courtyard that Lu Hengxiu had just bought.

Luo Wenxi also wanted to see Lu Hengxiu, but in view of Lu Hengxiu's "position" at the moment, he had no choice but to hold back.

After all, he and Duan Wen are old enemies, and now it is only a superficial harmony.

Lu Hengxiu knew that it would be lively in the future, so he bought this small courtyard early.Moreover, Zhuoying Thirteen hired some servant girls for him, finally propping up the scene so that it would not be too shabby.

Lu Hengxiu and Fu Minghua entered the Imperial Academy in the usual order, and Su Jia went to the Ministry of Officials as a servant, which was considered a very good place to return.

This day was the day when the Palace held the Qionglin Banquet, all the ministers and new scholars entered the palace early in the morning.When the familiar classmates and friends saw someone they knew, they all walked over to say hello and said polite words on the scene.

While dealing with the people who came to greet him, Lu Hengxiu observed the situation of others.Luo Wenxi was talking to Fu Minghua and several academics from the Imperial Academy, when Duan Wenzheng just got off the sedan chair, he was surrounded by a group of new scholars to say hello.Lu Hengxiu frowned, but did not follow.

"Ministers, the emperor will go to court immediately." Shen Yizhong, the new Chief Eunuch of the Supervisor of Rituals, stood on the steps and shouted.All the officials, regardless of their official positions, silenced their voices, and quickly stood in a neat line and waited under the stone steps of the white marble.

It didn't take long for Shen Yizhong to announce that he was going to court again, and Lu Hengxiu followed the team and walked into the magnificent Huangji Hall.

The majestic and vast hall is so breathtaking that all Jinshi who have just entered the official career are afraid.In such a solemn atmosphere, Lu Hengxiu also became a little nervous.

Because of his low rank, he stood at the end of the line and couldn't even see Ming Jue's face clearly when he looked over from a distance, seeing only bright yellow.But the voice that said "Zhuqing Pingshen" was calm and majestic, but it was very clear.

Lu Hengxiu looked in the direction of the high dragon chair, and smiled sincerely.He knew that Ming Jue might not be able to see it, and he didn't even know if Ming Jue could find himself among so many people, but he was still very happy in his heart.His efforts were finally not in vain, and he finally walked in front of his king step by step.

In fact, Lu Hengxiu was wrong, Ming Jue not only saw him, but also saw him from a group of people at first sight.Strange to say, Lu Hengxiu stood at the back and was not very conspicuous, but Ming Jue just saw him at a glance.

As a result, Mingjue's mood improved after a long time. You must know that in order not to disturb Lu Hengxiu, he endured for several months and never went to him, and he didn't even bother to find out about him.

After a morning court, the officials also felt the joy of the king, but they were a little confused.In the end, the reason was attributed to the entry of Xinke Jinshi, after all, no one knew that the king's true love was hidden among them.

After the morning court was over, the officials rushed to go to the Qionglin Banquet. The Qionglin Banquet was held in the Qionglin Garden in the palace, hence the name.

"Brother Lu, I'm going to toast you a few glasses later." Su Jia leaned over and talked to Lu Hengxiu.

Lu Hengxiu nodded, looking a little absent-minded.
