Chapter 36 Sealed Champion

"Master Meng, how dare you be so rude to the emperor!" Wei Dingbian, the national teacher, shouted with Lieutenant Tong.

Master Meng was aware of his gaffe, hurriedly stepped back a few steps, knelt down and said, "I am impatient for a moment, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."

The emperor closed his eyes slightly and said powerlessly, "That's all, forgive you for your innocence. The death of the nephew is unavoidable, and the crime of life is unforgivable. Well, I have been exiled to the wilderness of the southwest for three years.

Although Master Meng was dissatisfied, he kowtowed again in the face of the Wenwu of the Man Dynasty and said, "Thank you, your kindness!"

When Captain Tong saw that Meng Jinglun was still rolling on the ground, he couldn't help saying angrily, "Meng Jinglun, the emperor will spare you the death penalty and thank God! Then make this scoundrel act and drag it out to fight the 20 military sticks first.

Meng Jinglun heard that he was going to hit the military stick, so he hurriedly sat up, patted the dust on his body, hurriedly climbed to the emperor, and kowtowed, "Thank you for not killing!"

The emperor looked at Meng Jinglun with disgust and said, "Come on, take him to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice first, and then exile him to the southwest border three days later." The palace guards escorted Meng Jinglun like catching chickens.

The emperor shouted again: "Bangyan and Tanhua came forward to listen to the seal!"

Both Bangyan and Tanhua thought that their ears had heard it wrong. They thought that they were trapped in the case of scientific fraud and had no possibility of life. They were trembling underneath, waiting to lead the neck to be killed. Suddenly, they heard the emperor's words that he wanted to be sealed. They looked at each other and were full of surprise.

Captain Tong shouted, "Why don't you get out of the list!"

Bangyan and Tanhuafang knew that they had not heard wrong. They hurriedly bowed to Danqi, knelt down softly, and said in a trembling voice, "The guilty people saw the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"

The emperor smiled coldly and said, "You two want to be officials so much, so I will make you two officials." Hearing this, Bangyan and Tanhua couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy, and there was a look of joy on their faces.

I only heard the emperor say, "You two are the door gods of the national guardians to warn the world and correct the audience! Come on, immediately nail the two door gods to the Jixian Gate!"

The two sides flashed through the court waiting for the guard and escorted the two to the national prison. After listening to the emperor's division, the two had already collapsed into a pile of mud and let the bodyguards drag him out of the palace.

The poor two had a beautiful dream of becoming an official, but they were like the moon in the water, and the flowers in the mirror were just infatuated.

When the students saw the end of the three, some were extremely frightened, some secretly praised, and they were as cicadas, and they even had no appetite in the face of the table full of delicious food.

The emperor looked at Lu Zheng and nodded and said, "Thanks to your disclosure, this palace did not become a laughing stock. I should remember your work. Tell me what kind of reward you want!"

Lu Zheng thought for a moment and smiled, "Your Majesty, I want to be the champion!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone around was shocked. The word champion is now like a hot mountain. It's too late for others to hide, but he still deliberately takes it.

With that kind-hearted Gongsheng, he looked at Lu Zheng with great sympathy and was very worried about his fate.

"Oh? Do you also want to be the champion? The emperor asked puzzledly.

Meng Taishi laughed and said, "It turns out that this person exposed others just to make a nest for himself. You are so naive!"

The emperor asked, "Do you have this to be a strong man?"

Meng Taishi sneered and said, "Your Majesty, I ordered the Ministry of Ceremonies to call out this person's test paper. Wouldn't your Majesty read it and find out immediately?"

The emperor nodded and said, "It is this law. Lu Zheng, I now order someone to call out your test paper. If you really have the champion, I will immediately make you the champion.

"If your knowledge is not good, you will be guilty of deceiving the king. What do you think?"

Captain Tong listened and looked at Lu Zheng worriedly. He had the intention to make him not have to be in danger, but he didn't know how to speak like this. Lu Zheng said calmly, "Please ask your majesty to bring up my test paper and check it. If I really can't stand the top talent, I would like to be a 'door god' and be nailed to the main gate of the Guozijian!"

When this statement came out, everyone was very surprised. Captain Tong was also full of worries and didn't know how Lu Zheng dared to praise such a mouth.

Meng Taishi nodded and smiled, "This method is very good and fair. What do you think of the two masters, the national division and the lieutenant?

Wei Dingbian said, "I appreciate this child very much. It's good to have this proud bone. The old minister asked His Majesty that even if his talent could not be the top student, he did not have to give him a death penalty and another conviction.

Captain Tong also nodded hurriedly and said, "That's what Weichen meant."

After listening to the two people's words, Meng Taishi snorted coldly from his nostrils.

The emperor nodded and said, "According to the words of the national teacher, someone came to submit Lu Zheng's test paper."

Noda Yingwu Hall could hear a sound, and everyone held their breath and waited for the emperor to check Lu Zheng's paper.

After a cup of tea, the emperor finished reading it, sighed gently, and watched Lu Zheng silent.

When Master Meng saw it, he was overjoyed and shouted, "Come on, take down this talented cursive scholar!" Immediately, several court guards flashed out and wanted to come forward to get people.

"Wait!" The emperor suddenly said.

Master Meng looked at the emperor puzzledly and said, "Your Majesty, why did you stop the guards?"

"Did I say he is a cursage scholar?" The emperor said unhappily, "We just sighed and sighed that we haven't seen such a good article for many years. You all take it to taste it." After saying that, he handed Lu Zheng's paper to Lieutenant Tong.

Captain Tong read Lu Zheng's article aloud without missing a word. The officials and students were silent for a moment, and then couldn't help shouting.

"Good article!"

"The literary talent is outstanding, and the writing is like a person!"

"This person can be called the champion!"

Master Tong looked at the crowd coldly and said with a sneer, "Even if the article is good, who can guarantee that this article was written by Lu Zheng?"

"Master Meng, don't worry about it anymore!" Wei Dingbian, the national teacher, said dissatisfiedly, "Don't treat others as your nephew!"

Lieutenant Tong also said, "If Master Meng has doubts, you might as well ask another question and let Lu Zheng answer on the spot."

"Okay, stop arguing." The emperor said impatiently, "Lu Zheng knows that we have all seen it, and the title of champion is well-worthy. I will write a book by myself and seal its title of champion.

After listening to this, Master Meng couldn't help twitching and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I feel unwell and need to take a rest. Please leave and go home to rest!" After saying that, without waiting for the emperor's reply, he strode out of the Yingwu Hall.

Looking at Meng Taishi's*, many officials were just angry and dared not say anything. Wei Dingbian, the national master, snorted coldly and said, "Your Majesty, can the results of this palace examination be calculated?"

The emperor calmed down and said, "The punishment department is ordered to investigate carefully. Anyone who commits fraud will be invalidated and will be severely punished!" Ten days later, I will bring the new candidate roster, and I will personally click the top three list. I'm also tired. If there is anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow morning.

After thinking about it, he said, "According to the law, the champion can be edited by Hanlin Academy. Lu Zheng, what do you think?"

Lu Zheng said, "It's time to employ people in the captain's mansion. Lu Zheng wants to work in the captain's mansion. I don't know if the emperor can agree?"

When the emperor saw it, he nodded and said, "Then you can arrange it with Captain Tong and file it in the official department." After saying that, he got up and left. Everyone hurriedly bowed to welcome the emperor away.

Wei Ding, the national master, looked at Lu Zheng and nodded and smiled, "It's really good, but the temptation of that finger really surprised me. He has such cultivation at a young age, which can be said to be a young talent with both literature and martial arts.

When others heard it, they didn't know why Lu Zheng came from this praise of "literary and martial arts double cultivation". Only Lu Zheng's face turned red and his heart knew it. He hurriedly bowed and said, "The national teacher has said it, and Lu Zheng is ashamed."

Captain Tong was very happy to see Lu Zheng shine today. He raised his glass and said to everyone, "Dear lords, Gongsheng, we will drink a cup of the new champion with the royal wine!"
