I am the carpenter king

Time has entered April without knowing it. For a month, nothing happened in the court, and everything seemed very peaceful.Officials seem to be diligent in political affairs, and people's lives seem to have improved somewhat.

In the Forbidden City, Emperor Tianqi wore a dragon robe with a smile on his face under the service of Wang Chengen. It could be seen that Emperor Tianqi was in a good mood.Looking back at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "How is it? Are they all here?"

"Go back to the emperor, we are all waiting outside!" Wang Chengen replied respectfully, with a little expectation on his face.

Nodding slowly, today is the day when Emperor Tianqi receives new scholars.Although there were palace examinations and Qionglin banquets before, these people may not have seen what Emperor Tianqi looks like.However, not many people came today. There were three Jinshi from the first class, and a few people from the second class.These people can be said to be the son of heaven's favorite, the representative of Yuyuelongmen.

In the value room not far away, several people were waiting respectfully. Although they were all chatting and laughing, their faces were a bit apprehensive.The ages of these people vary, and some of them are very old. The representative of them is the new champion Wen Zhenmeng, who is 46 years old. [

In the ten imperial examinations in 30 years, Wen Zhenmeng's skill in nourishing Qi is beyond the comparison of ordinary people, and his firm will is even more difficult for most people to match.On the one hand, the 28-year-old Ni Yuanlu is a representative of young people. Being able to be named in the gold list at the age of 28 and rank among the top three will definitely be passed down as a good story in this era.But the most eye-catching is not Ni Yuanlu, but Lu Xiangsheng, the second place in the list, who is only 21 years old, really young.

Among these people, the relationship between these three people is very good, and they are all top three in one subject, which is widely spread in the capital.

"Brother Ni, the emperor summoned you today, and I don't know what to say!" Looking at Ni Yuanlu, Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile.

Everyone in the room was stunned. This is something everyone wants to know, but they can't say it.It is very important to figure out the holy will, but how can this kind of thing be brought to the table?

Ni Yuanlu frowned slightly, smiled calmly, and said in a deep voice: "It is my blessing to have the opportunity to listen to the hadith, and it is something that outsiders cannot envy!" Wink, obviously don't want to say this again.

Sighing lightly and shaking his head, Lu Xiangsheng could naturally understand what Ni Yuanlu meant, so he didn't say anything.Wen Zhenmeng on the side saw Lu Xiangsheng's appearance, walked over and patted Lu Xiangsheng on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "My dear brother, everyone has his own ambition, and I know the ambition in your heart. Seeing the emperor today is an opportunity. What's the matter?" You can tell the emperor, as a brother, I believe the emperor can understand."

Looking at Wen Zhenmeng in surprise, seeing his sincerity, Lu Xiangsheng nodded vigorously.From the bottom of his heart, Lu Xiangsheng was not willing to be an editor of Hanlin. Although there was a saying in the Ming Dynasty that non-Hanlin would not join the cabinet, Lu Xiangsheng had no interest in joining the cabinet.

In his opinion, the problem of the Ming Dynasty lies in the border. He was deeply influenced by his father since he was a child, and Lu Xiangsheng always wanted to make a contribution to the border.What's more, his parents died at the border. As the so-called national hatred and family hatred, he has no intention of raising him in the capital, he just wants to go to the border immediately.Seeing that Wen Zhenmeng understood him, his heart suddenly warmed up, and he nodded to Wen Zhenmeng, and his mind became more determined.

No one was talking, each was thinking about something on his mind, and looked outside from time to time, but there was no sign of anxiety on his face.

"My lords, follow our house!" Chen Lin walked in slowly, looked at several people with a smile, and said with a hint of respect on his face.These are the proud sons of the emperor, they must not be offended!

Everyone stood up one after another, arranged their clothes, and followed Chen Lin forward.They didn't go far, and several people were brought into the warm pavilion of Emperor Tianqi.

"Your Majesty, please see the Emperor, long live my emperor!" Several people lifted up their clothes and knelt down as if they had finished rehearsing, speaking in unison.

Looking at the kneeling people below, Emperor Tianqi nodded with a smile, and said in a soft tone: "Get up! Today is not the first time I have received you, don't be restrained!"

After Xie En, several people stood up, but the three of Ni Yuanlu had some doubts. Why did the emperor's voice seem to be heard somewhere?After standing up straight, several people raised their heads at the same time, and when they saw the Emperor Tianqi sitting behind the Longshu table, they were all dazed there.

Looking at the few people with a smile, Emperor Tianqi naturally understood the surprise of the few people, but this is not the time to talk about this.After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi said: "You are all the future of the Ming Dynasty, do things well, and I will not treat you badly!"

"Thank you!" All the people bowed and saluted with joy on their faces. It was already a great honor to be received by Emperor Tianqi.

"Lu Xiangsheng!" Putting his eyes on Lu Xiangsheng, Emperor Tianqi suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice.

Bowing and saluting, Lu Xiangsheng said respectfully, "The minister is here!"

"Others may have nothing to do, but I have something to do when I see you today!" Emperor Tianqi stared at Lu Xiangsheng and said. [

"Your Majesty, please let me know what you want to say!" Lu Xiangsheng felt a little uneasy. He just saw someone he knew was sitting behind the Long Shuan, and now he heard Emperor Tianqi speak like this, so he felt a little uneasy!

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng's expression remained unchanged, Emperor Tianqi nodded slightly, and said: "Your father Lu Feng is a hero of the Ming Dynasty. He would rather die than submit. He is a model for his ministers. I feel sorry for you. I wanted to promote you, but I didn't want to let you go." People think that you were reused because of your kindness, so you waited until after the imperial examination. I hope you don’t think that your parents are not valued by the court. Your parents died for the Ming Dynasty, for me, and deserved to die!”

Lifting up his clothes and kneeling on the ground, Lu Xiangsheng said in a trembling voice: "The emperor's love and love, I feel deeply!"

All the people present looked at Lu Xiangsheng. Not many people knew about Lu Xiangsheng's life experience. They did not expect such a story to exist.

"Your father has an old friend who wants to accept you as a disciple, but he is not in the capital now, so he entrusted this matter to me. I hope that after your imperial examination, this matter will be made public. Let me tell you about this!" Emperor Tianqi continued without letting Lu Xiang rise.

"I don't know who this old friend of my father is?" Lu Xiangsheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was taken aback, and said in a slightly surprised tone.He still knew a little about his father, and he really didn't know any old friend who could be entrusted to the emperor.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Emperor Tianqi said slowly: "You should have heard of this person. He is the teacher of the first emperor and I, Mr. Sun Chengzong!" The identity of the teacher, the meaning of which is self-evident.

All these people were stunned, who doesn't know Sun Chengzong's great Ming?Being able to worship under his sect is something that many people can't ask for, and Lu Xiangsheng is no exception.However, unlike others, Lu Xiangsheng was not because of his status as a teacher, but because of Sun Chengzong's ability to deal with side affairs. It was really exciting to be able to listen to the teachings by his side.

"Since he is an old friend of my father, I have nothing to say!" Lu Xiangsheng said respectfully without putting on an air.

"That's good, get up! From now on, we will be regarded as teachers from the same school. Don't hold on to your identities, and don't do inappropriate things. Be honest, and don't let me and Mr. Sun live up to the expectations!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a serious face. , exhorted.

Lu Xiangsheng made a salute, and said decisively: "Don't worry, the emperor, I will stick to my heart and dare not slack off!"

"Your Majesty, Xiong Wencan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, please see me!" Emperor Tianqi wanted to say something, but Chen Lin strode in and said respectfully.

Emperor Tianqi was taken aback for a moment, pondered for a while, and said, "You all go back! Work hard, Lu Xiangsheng stay here!"

Several people thanked Lu Xiangsheng and walked out, looking at Lu Xiangsheng with complicated eyes, obviously envious.

Not long after, Xiong Wencai walked in under the leadership of Chen Lin, lifted up his clothes and knelt down on the ground, saying: "Xiong Wencan, Minister of the Ministry of War, long live the emperor who participated in the construction of the Martial Arts!"

Smiling and waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi ordered: "Aiqing is free from courtesy, I don't know if there is anything you want to tell me?" Before Xiong Wencan could speak, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Lu Xiangsheng, I have met Mr. Xiong! "

"Hanlin editor Lu Xiangsheng, I have met Mr. Xiong!" Lu Xiangsheng knew that it was Emperor Tianqi who promoted him, so he saluted Xiong Wencan respectfully.

"No way, no way! Mr. Lu was ranked second in high school at a young age, and now he is an academic editor, which is enough to make me ashamed!" Xiong Wencan also noticed that apart from the difference, Emperor Tianqi seemed to value this person very much. Lu Xiangsheng just bent over He was supported by him.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Tianqi said: "Xiong Aiqing, Lu Aiqing has been accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Sun, and will be my fellow disciple from now on. Please take care of me!"

Xiong Wencan was taken aback for a moment, looked at Lu Xiangsheng, and thought: This is amazing!He is valued by the emperor and is Sun Chengzong's apprentice.My ability is not too bad, so my future must be limitless!Let's talk again, the second place in the new department, this ability is not bad, it seems that this is another new star in the officialdom of Daming!

"Naturally, the emperor's fellow disciples, I will naturally help a lot!" Xiong Wencan looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile, and nodded slightly to him.

"What's the matter with Ai Qing?" Seeing that it was almost done, Emperor Tianqi shifted his thoughts to the serious business again. Since Xiong Wencan came, it is natural that the matter is not in the Three Treasures Hall. [

Xiong Wencan's face also became serious, and he saluted Emperor Tianqi, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the matter of martial arts is almost done, and thirty people have been selected!"
