Chapter 129: Everyone Comes to Pick the Fruit(1/2)
"Lu Zhaohui, who was standing next to the King of Han Dynasty, said sarcastically, his face showing that he was embarrassed to control the public affairs, and he didn't know what to do. Of course he understood the meaning of Lu Zhaoci's words. Now Lu Zhaoci is the King of Han, and he controls the government, so Lu Zhaoci
Zhao Bing and others came to take the imperial examination. No matter how stubborn that old guy Xiao Yu was, he still had to give Lu Zhao Ci face. What's more, Lu Zhao Bing and others were originally from the Lu clan. As long as you did well in the exams for a high-ranking family,
Even if they can pass, they are all on the list. Maybe they are still in a good position. Therefore, it is impossible for Lu Zhaobing and others to participate in the imperial examination. But Lu Zhaohui cannot do it. Because although he is
The Lu clan is from the Fanyang Lu clan, not the Hedong Lu clan.
"Although you are from the Lu family, you are from the same clan as Gu. Logically speaking, you should avoid suspicion and should not take part in this imperial examination." Lu Zhaoci looked at Lu Zhaohui and said, "But the imperial army has not yet attacked Fan Yang.
, I dare not even think about giving Fan Yang the title of Lu family."
"What about this imperial examination?" Lu Zhaohui asked tentatively.
"Test! If they can't take the exam, can't you also take the exam?" Lu Zhaoci waved his hand and said with a smile: "I can't stop you, you can just take the exam if you want. Anyway, it's the same whether you take the exam or not.
If you want to be an official, it's just a matter of whether time is fast or slow. One starting point is low and the other is high. Brother Zhaohui, do you want to start low or high?"
"I want to take it step by step." Lu Zhaohui replied without thinking.
"Oh!" Lu Zhaoci looked at Lu Zhaohui curiously. He didn't expect that he, a descendant of the Lu family, would be so courageous and willing to work from the grassroots level without his gift. This was something he didn't expect.
"That's okay, but your surname is Lu?" Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said: "If it goes as expected, Lu Qing will definitely be on the list, and it will be ranked first. Do you dare to fight this with Gu?
bet?"
"I believe." Lu Zhaohui looked stunned for a moment. But he quickly came to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "What your Highness said is true. I also think so."
"There is no way around it. Just when I sat down in this position, those people were looking at me!" Lu Zhaoci sighed: "This imperial examination system can only be carried out step by step. We high-ranking families can still
It affects the fairness of the imperial examination to a certain extent. Although Mr. Xiao is stubborn by nature, he still takes good care of the rich families. You are not only the Lu family of Fan Yang, but also Gu's cousin. Mr. Xiao will definitely put you at the top of the list.
Not only Master Xiao will do it, but others will also put you at the top of the list. Erlang and the others can also order them not to allow Ben to take part in the imperial examination. But you, Gu don’t have that power. At least you don’t have that power now.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Lu Zhaohui's complexion began to change.
"Change your last name temporarily! After the imperial examination, you can change your identity back to your original identity." Lu Zhaoci's tone was very calm, but Lu Zhaohui felt a hint of order and a hint of coercion from it. Lu Zhaohui's face turned red, but he felt a little dissatisfied.
color.
"Your Highness? What's your move?" Lu Zhaohui raised his head and prepared to refute.
"Do you refuse? Even if your master comes, he will do this." Lu Zhaoci sighed deeply: "A pen cannot write a single word "Lu", whether it is Fan Yang or Hedong, both
"Family. You should understand. This is your registration test, just take the test according to this."
"Your Highness, this is unfair. Lu Zhaohui can't bear it anymore. The name was given by his parents. Unless it violates the taboo of the current emperor, in order to avoid the taboo, he will change his name, or even be given a surname by the current emperor.
Otherwise, the last name will not be changed.
"If possible, I would make all the candidates from famous families in the world change their surnames." Lu Zhaoci snorted coldly: "Actually, I still have many ways to make Mr. Xiao not know the surnames of you people, but right now
That's not possible. What's more important is that your surname is Lu."
"Is there something wrong with someone named Lu?" Lu Zhaohui said in silence.
"The person named Lu is not wrong, but the fault lies with you. When I came to take the exam, Lu Zhaoci's eyes widened and his voice rose slightly.
"Your Highness, I think this person cannot take part in the imperial examination." At this time, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the palace, and a middle-aged man in a purple robe was seen standing under the dripping eaves. Who could he be if he wasn't a monk?
"Why are you here, sir?" Lu Zhaoci stood up in surprise.
"I have received a report from the general. The general will be able to rush back to Chang'an tomorrow morning. Feng Wenwen did not feel proud at all because of Lu Zhaoci's courtesy.
"Brother Jing is back. Gu Dang went to greet him in person." Lu Zhaoci looked happy and said loudly.
"Your Highness." The text of the examination pointed at Lu Zhaohui and said: "Although Lu Lang is a member of the Fanyang household, he is also a branch of the Han Dynasty and can be regarded as a clan. How can disciples of the clan participate in the imperial examination? If Pei Ji and others know about it, I am afraid there will be another incident.
Something happened."
"This?" Lu Zhaoci looked at Lu Zhaohui, with a look of embarrassment on his face. After all, although it was already difficult for someone to change his surname and take part in the imperial examination, it would be even more difficult now that he is not allowed to take part in the imperial examination.
It's just that this move was proposed by Feng Wenwen, and he couldn't refuse it. "Master Pushe, why is this?" Lu Zhaohui looked at Feng Wenwen coldly, but he didn't take Feng Wenwen in his eyes at all.
Lu Zhaoci frowned and felt extremely unhappy.
"Because your surname is Lu.
Feng Wenwen said quietly: "Why are you taking the imperial examination now? To prove
"Ma, no. If I guessed well, it's not you who is here."
"Wenwen, how do you say this?" Lu Zhaoci looked at the text and then at Lu Zhaohui in surprise, only to see Lu Zhaohui's handsome face changed, but his eyes were looking elsewhere.
"Okay, Lu Qing, you go to Sanyuan and be the county magistrate!" Lu Zhaoci waved his hand and said, "You go." Lu Zhaoci looked cold, waved his hand towards Lu Zhaohui, and said, "Write a letter and go back.
, tell your old man to let him come to Chang'an after Gu has settled the world!"
"I obey the order, I will retire." Lu Zhaohuijun blushed, bowed to Lu Zhao, and then slowly retreated.
"Hey! Text, do you think Gu is too impatient? Look, now the Lu family has bullied Gu." Lu Zhaoci pointed at Lu Zhaohui's leaving back and snorted coldly: "If you can
, I wish I could kill all these people.
"Your Highness, to be honest, Your Highness still needs these people to deal with the Guanlong family at this moment!" Feng Wenwen also lowered his head and sighed: "Your Highness's students have not grown up yet and have not yet become independent. Your Highness still needs to be patient.
ah!"
"So I agreed to the old fox in his family. Lu Zhaoci snorted: "Zong Zheng, he really has a big appetite! He actually wants this position.
"Your Highness, I am the deputy examiner. I will definitely fight for a few more places for your highness this time. I naturally know the meaning of Lu Zhaoci's appointment of him as the deputy examiner. It is to provide some opportunities for those poor scholars so that this exam can be completed.
The event was well-deserved. It increased the number of people from poor families.
Heart.
"Of course Gu knew about this, Lu Zhaoci's face was cold, and he said calmly: "I didn't expect that Gu would have to compete with Old Master Xiao on this matter. I'm afraid the Guanlong family wouldn't let this happen.
The imperial examination was successfully carried out. They wanted to use the name of the imperial examination to allow their descendants to enter the officialdom and influence changes in the government."
"Your Highness, the exam is approaching, and Old Master Xiao has been waiting for a long time. If His Highness had not been so strong, I am afraid that Old Master Xiao would have done the test on his own." Feng Wenwen said with a smile.
"He has gone back. Presumably, there must be many people in his house at this time." Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "Sir, I have ordered Zuo Yaowei's army to guard the examination room. Not even a bird can fly inside.
Go in. I want to see how they calculated this imperial examination. This is the question for this exam, sir, take it! The Guhui sent people from the sticking pole to escort the gentleman. He clapped his hands as he spoke, and saw the darkness.
In the middle, four young people with cold faces appeared.
"I obey." Ben Wenwen quickly reached out to take it and walked out to prepare for the imperial examination.
As soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw Cui Renshi wearing a purple robe and walking over with a proud look on his face. Behind him, there was also a young man with an elegant face, but his lips were thinner and his eyes were moving. It was obviously not anything.
A kind person. I frowned when I saw this.
"Oh, it turns out it's Mr. Cen. It's polite to lower your rank." When Master Cui Ren saw this book and walked out of the hall with a scroll in his hand, his eyes lit up. With a flash of light, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "I think this is it.
The test papers for this imperial examination
"Exactly." Mu Wenwen also showed a smile on his face and said: "I was ordered by His Highness to serve as the deputy examiner for this imperial examination. I was ordered to come here to request the test papers. Didn't you know that Mr. Cui is here?
"
"Oh. I also recommend talents to His Highness.
Cui Renshi showed a trace of pride on his face and said: "It's not that I'm being impudent. This imperial examination takes too long, consumes a lot of energy, and often consumes too much money. It's not the right path! Sir, you don't know something.
This time, His Highness spent almost half of the national treasury in order to redeem the former Sui Empress! What kind of imperial examination is being held this time? What a waste! It is better to recommend someone like this, who knows the basics and is very convenient!"
"Who is this?" Feng Wenwen sneered secretly in his heart, but with a hint of approval on his face, he pointed at the young man behind him and asked.
"This is Cui Li, the descendant of the Boling Cui family. Speaking of which, he is from the same clan as the princess. He is intelligent by nature, has a rare talent, and is well-read. He is a rare talent." Cui Renshi laughed and said, "We are the prime minister.
Assistant, you should recommend talented people to the country. Otherwise, we will be derelict in our duties, my lord, don’t you think so?"
"Bo Ling and the Cui family of Qinghe are both powerful families in the world. There are many talents in the family, and Brother Cui Shi must be the leader among them." Mu Wenwen complimented.
"I don't dare to trouble Lord Pushe to praise Cui Li, so he quickly raised his hands and said.
"Since you have been recommended by Zhongshu Ling, Your Highness will not refuse to come. However, serving His Highness as a shepherd is not just about being good at poems and prose. It is more about being considerate of the people and knowing their sufferings. This is
Mu Wenwen, who is the most important thing, nodded and said. "I would like to follow Master Pu She's teachings. Cui Li had a respectful look on his face, as if he had really listened to Ben Wenwen's teachings. With this look, it would be better to let Ju Wenwen
He nodded repeatedly.
"Lord Zhongshu Ling, I have something important to do. I'll take my leave first." Feng Wenwen said, cupping his hands.
"My lord, please excuse me." Cui Renshi quickly returned the greeting and said, "My lord, your business is important. I won't bother you."
"The farewell text nodded. Under the escort of four guards, he left the Han Dynasty Palace.
"Hmph! Your Highness treated him well, and actually sent four guards to guard him." Master Cui Ren waited for the text to leave.
"Brother, this person is very trusted by His Highness," Cui Li said cautiously.
"Hmph, I, the Cui family, have the princess and the queen here, so why should I be afraid of him? I heard that the Fanyang Lu family also sent people to take part in the imperial examination this time. I am afraid that Old Master Xiao will definitely be ranked first. His Highness will also treat him
I'm surprised, this definitely has some influence on you." Cui Renshi frowned and said.
"Brother, this Fan Yanglu family is considered a clan, why do you have to take part in the imperial examination?" Cui Li said dissatisfied: "Although His Highness has not yet ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he, the Fan Yanglu family, should not compete with the scholars for that title.
There are dozens of places!”
"Aren't they still under Luo Yi's rule now?" Cui Renshi frowned and said: "What we are most worried about now is the Guanlong family. These people cannot stop His Highness, but they want to resist
If we, the children of the Guandong family, want to influence the government, they will definitely prevent us from entering the court. Humph. After Wang Shichong is pacified, I will dissuade His Highness from moving the capital to Luoyang. After Yang Guang's construction, Luoyang is no longer under Chang'an.
