This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 4
A big chance.

After laying the groundwork for so long, King Huaixin finally got into the subject.

Li Qing didn't think that King Huaixin would give him a chance for no reason, because he must have taken a fancy to something, or a certain ability, or a certain identity in him.

He directly refused, "My lord, you will not be rewarded for nothing."

"Changqing, you still don't know what the opportunity is, why are you so eager to refuse?" King Huaixin said sincerely, "Don't worry, I don't ask you for anything in return. I just simply think that no one is more suitable than you That's all."

Li Qingdao: "My lord's kind intentions, Changqing appreciates them. But if you don't receive rewards for meritorious deeds, a gentleman will not do it."

King Huaixin stood awe-inspiring and said solemnly: "Changqing is indeed a gentleman. If that's the case, then I'll just say it straight. The aristocratic family can't be lost, and there are few children from poor families in civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty.

Throughout the history of the imperial examinations, none of the champions, second-place candidates, or third-ranked candidates came from poor families.

The opportunity that this king wants to give you is this golden champion!
You who came from a poor family must be very aware of the difficult situation of a poor family scholar.

I gave you the title of No. [-] Scholar, one is to let you give hope to the poor scholars.

The second is to hope that when you become an official in the future, you can think more about poor scholars.This is what you need to give. "

These words speak of righteousness.

It's just standing on the moral high ground.

At this moment, Li Qing seemed to see the light.

And this is exactly the direction he is working hard for!

If it weren't for his rich experience in previous lives, he would simply think that this is a living saint.

"My lord, the number one scholar was handpicked by the emperor. If the lord is operating behind the scenes, the number one scholar Changqing will feel hot. Don't mention this matter again."

Faced with the temptation of the champion, Li Qing was indeed tempted.

Every three years in the Great Zhou Empire, there will be dozens or hundreds of Jinshi, but there is only one champion.

Once the top scorer in high school, Sanyuan and the first place will have unimaginable benefits to his official career.

There is also a fairly high starting point for him to achieve meritorious service, morality, and speech.

But if you can't flaunt and demand yourself with the moral standards of a saint, how can you be virtuous?

Li Qing wants to become the number one scholar, but he never wants to rely on external force, but rely on his own real talents!

King Huaixin was shocked when he heard this.

Huo Ran stood up and saluted Li Qing.

"Changqing is a true gentleman. This king was rude and abrupt. I am here to apologize to you."

In the following time, the two sides sipped crane saliva tea while discussing poems and articles.

In a blink of an eye, several hours passed.

Li Qing has gone a long way in the way of a sage, and his thinking is not limited by this era.

Often some forward-thinking viewpoints attract King Huaixin to take the case.

When parting, King Huaixin gave orders to the housekeeper.

"I have learned a lot from talking with Changqing today. Go, get some crane saliva tea and locust leaves, and bring them back to Changqing."

Crane saliva tea is extremely precious and hard to buy.

The value of the locust tree leaves is even higher than that of crane saliva tea.

Li Qing waved his hands again and again, "My lord, it's still the same sentence, you don't get rewarded for nothing. Your gift is too precious, Changqing can't bear it."

King Huaixin pressed down Li Qing's hands, and said with a smile: "Changqing is a gentleman, and I respect you very much for being a gentleman. But the gift from the elders is irresistible."

After all, he didn't give Li Qing a chance to refuse at all, and urged the housekeeper to get it quickly.

He abruptly stuffed a jar of crane saliva tea and a dozen locust leaves into Li Qing's arms.

"Thank you, my lord! The scourge of the family does not need to be emphasized by the lord, Changqing knows it too. When he enters the court and becomes an official, he will definitely support poor scholars."

Li Qing thanked him, bid farewell to King Huaixin, and left the palace.

……

The palace is in the main hall.

The butler immediately turned back after sending Li Qing off, and said with a smile on his face, "Young Master Li is indeed a gentleman, congratulations to your lord for getting such a talented person."

King Huaixin also had a joyful smile on his face.

"Changqing is indeed a true gentleman. He accepted this king's arrangement and wanted the title of champion. Although this king will also entrust him with important tasks, it is inevitable that he will underestimate him in his heart.

After all, if you can give up your perseverance for the champion today, you may betray the king because of greater temptation in the future.

Now the aristocratic family is becoming more and more rampant, although the emperor brother is good at using the emperor's mind to check and balance the aristocratic family.But in the current situation, checks and balances alone are far from enough, and thunderous means must be used to contain and deter the aristocratic family.

Make arrangements to bring Yue'er to Shengjing. "

The housekeeper was shocked, "My lord, what do you mean?"

A bright light flashed in King Huaixin's eyes, he nodded slightly, and said, "Just like what this king said to Chang Qing before, we must give poor students a hope that they can see.

The underdog champion is hope.

It is also a hope for a poor scholar to marry the princess.

And this hope is more tangible than the top pick in high school, and it has more impact on Da Zhou's poor family.

At that time, all the poor families in the world will come into my pocket, so why worry about a big event failing!
Although Yue'er is the king's daughter, she grew up with golden branches and jade leaves.But Changqing is more than enough to match her.

Well, you go.Come back after the palace test and before the emperor's birthday. "

As Li Qing doubted in his heart.

There are no big chances in this world for no reason.

King Huaixin did appreciate Li Qing, but behind the scenes, he used Li Qing, a representative figure of humble scholars, to win over more scholars.

His reputation as Corporal Huaixin Wang Lixian was confirmed.

Seeing that Li Qing has become King Huaixin's son-in-law, how could those humble scholars who had no chance of success not flock to King Huaixin's command?

"It's still the prince who is thoughtful, and I will arrange it now."

The butler bent down and cupped his hands, and the next moment, the figure disappeared from the spot out of thin air.

……

Tiger Roar Tower.

Li Qing went back to his room, took out the crane saliva tea and locust leaves, and looked at them.

In this world, it's not just about reading and imperial examinations being controlled by aristocratic families.

Ordinary people can't even find the way to practice.

Without a background, unless the chance is against the sky, no one will teach you how to practice exercises.

Li Qing had been searching for immortals for five or six years, but he couldn't even find any clues to practice.

Unexpectedly, when he gave up the road of practice and decided to take the road of imperial examinations and practice the way of a sage, he would get two treasures related to practice one after another.

"The general examination is over, and the palace examination is approaching. Although I am a high school scholar, I can't take it lightly. As King Huaixin said, since the founding of the Great Zhou, there has never been a champion from a humble family.

No matter how many inside stories there are, all I have to do is to do my best to compete with those aristocratic children for the number one prize. "

Li Qing kept the locust leaves, made himself a cup of crane saliva tea, put his mind away, and didn't think about what purpose King Huaixin had for him.

He calmed down, discarded all distracting thoughts, and concentrated on reading.

"The way of heaven changes, ebbs and flows, and the power of the leased land has its own success. The sky is noble and the earth is cheap, the sky is moving but the earth is still, the noble is lucky and the cheap is effective."

With the help of Crane Saliva Tea, Li Qing obviously felt that his reading was smoother than before.

The mind is clearer than ever, and the understanding of some saints is more thorough.

As he continued to recite and comprehend, the pillar-thick "Qi" on his chest was also slowly increasing.

Even though he has come into contact with cultivation now, he has even confirmed that King Huaixin must have excellent cultivation techniques.

But Li Qing didn't intend to ask him for it.

Li Qing has firmly established the path of Confucianism and Taoism since he embarked on the road of imperial examinations.

Moreover, his reading is different from others, he can nourish his energy through reading.

With the growth of knowledge, as the understanding of the way of saints deepens, one's physical fitness will also become stronger.

This is no different from practice, but this kind of practice is quite different and special, and it is only suitable for him.
