Chapter 267
The second year after Qi Lingheng came to power as the prince, there was another year of imperial examination.
Lu Changgong showed his filial piety and participated in the Spring Festival of Jinke as a candidate. He became a Jinshi in one fell swoop and was also in the limelight.
During the palace examination, Qi Lingheng presided over it instead of Emperor Jingshun.
Of course he was partial to Lu Changgong.
After all, love the house and the bird.
When the cabinet sent out the candidate rankings, Lu Changgong was already ranked among the first.
After Qi Lingheng reviewed it, he didn't have any different opinions. He questioned several Jinshi in the main hall and finally told Ah Fu: "Read it out."
From No. 1 pick to No. 2, then to No. 1.
"First grade, third grade, Lu Changgong. Granted, Jinshi rank."
Lu Changgong lowered his head in the Jinluan Palace, his expression very calm.
After keeping his filial piety for twenty-seven months, he had developed a calmer heart than before.
After the palace examination, the prince gave an honorable banquet at the Ministry of Rites.
Qi Lingheng was finally able to find a place to talk to Lu Changgong face to face. He laughed softly and said, "I ordered someone to copy your article and show it to the Crown Princess."
Although Lu Changgong's eyes changed a little, he still asked humbly and nervously: "I don't know about the Crown Princess..."
"She said that your work was excellent. The Crown Princess did not expect that you could write such a good eight-legged essay. Even your Guange style is unique."
Lu Changgong couldn't hide it anymore, and slightly pursed his raised lips.
Back at the banquet, Qi Lingheng seemed to be slightly drunk, and said to Lu Changgong, "I heard that Tan Hua Lang hasn't taken the word yet?"
Lu Changgong stood up and said, "Go back to Your Highness, I have no words."
Qi Lingheng seemed to have figured it out on the spot, so he said: "Longbow - you need to have a certain degree of relaxation, otherwise it will be useless."
"I give you one word, Chi."
"From now on, your name will be Lu Chi."
Lu Changgong's fingers trembled and he thanked the prince for the gift.
After the banquet was over, Lu Changgong knew that his calligraphy was of course given by Lin Yunwan.
He still asked, wanting a definite answer.
"Your Highness, the word "chen" is..."
"It was indeed given to you by the Crown Princess. Why, Tanhua Lang doesn't like it?"
"No, it's not!" He just liked it so much.
Qi Lingheng patted Lu Changgong's shoulder and said gently: "The Crown Princess said your bow is too tight. As a person or an official, you must have a certain amount of relaxation."
"...Thank you, His Royal Highness!"
Lu Changgong bowed and sent Qi Lingheng away.
After returning to the Lu family, Zhuqing and Muer celebrated for him.
Lu Changgong returned to his study, and in the cold night, he wrote his name many times in official script, smiling softly: "Lu Chi, Lu Chi..."
She was always thinking of him.
\
Lu Changgong won the lottery, and as soon as he entered the officialdom, he was a seventh-rank official in the capital, and he had to stay in the Hanlin Academy to observe politics.
Those who are not Hanlin officials will not be included in the cabinet. Most of the Qing Hanlin officials in the Hanlin Academy are prime ministers.
"Although there is not much in the Imperial Academy, I think my future is bright!"
Zhuqing made a small calculation in her mind.
Lu Changgong changed into his official uniform and was about to go to the Hanlin Academy to get his hair done. He said helplessly: "The brighter the situation, the more I have to rely on my aunt to control the inner palace for me."
Zhuqing was very ashamed: "I am an aunt after all. Young Master - Mr. Lu, it's time for you to get a wife. The family cannot live without a mistress."
Lu Changgong smiled lightly and said, "I know."
He looked at Mu'er, who was almost a girl now, and he was also thinking about his own marriage and his sister's marriage. From now on, the mistress of the family would have to make the final decision.
When I arrived at the Hanlin Academy, I met Lin Yunyi.
The two people bowed to each other in a decent manner, and Lin Yunyi joked with him quietly: "Why are you so sad? If you have any troubles, talk to your uncle."
Before Lu Changgong entered the Hanlin Academy, he specially studied etiquette at the Ministry of Rites, how to take official positions, etc., and he had already mastered it.
He also has the temperament of an official.
He glanced at Lin Yunyi and said, "I'm worried about getting married. Does uncle have any good ideas?"
Lin Yun smiled: "You have asked the right person about this. Your aunt - she is an excellent housekeeper. She happens to have a younger sister..."
Lu Changgong also smiled: "Sister?"
What will they be called in terms of seniority in the future?
Lin Yunyi coughed twice and said, "If you make a good marriage, it's okay for my uncle to suffer a little loss. Just compensate me in money."
Lu Changgong actually bowed deeply: "I don't have any money - I'll have to worry about the marriage with my uncle." Regardless of whether Lin Yunyi agreed or not, he strode to the Hanlin Academy to get married.
"Hey, you kid - I'm just kidding. Where did you get a sister from?"
Lin Yunyi chased after him and said, "Let me talk to you about business, and I'm about to leave."
I have to go somewhere else from the Hanlin Academy.
The two nodded, and Lu Changgong asked him: "Already have a place to go?"
Lin Yunyi whispered: "...The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess want me to teach the Crown Prince."
Lu Changgong raised his eyebrows and said, "It's an excellent place, don't you want to go?"
Lin Yunyi sighed and said: "Jun'er...I mean the prince, he is being naughty right now. I really don't want to accept this job. But it's hard to refuse."
Lu Changgong teased him: "Aren't you a good teacher? When I was observing my filial piety, my uncle put a lot of thought into me."
Otherwise, you won't be able to win the Jinshi.
Lin Yunyi said helplessly: "How old are you! How old is he!"
Lu Changgong laughed at him: "How many people want to be the prince's teacher but they can't, and you are still not happy."
The prince's teacher is the future prince's teacher, the emperor's teacher.
The future powerful minister Miaozi.
Lin Yunyi said: "You can go if you like."
Lu Changgong shook his head and refused to mess with him.
The two were of the same age in the Hanlin Academy and were close to each other. They were both young scholars with outstanding talents and appearance, and were quite famous.
When the news reached the ears of Lin Yunwan and Qi Lingheng, Lin Yunwan said helplessly: "These people also know how to make fun of others."
Qi Lingheng also smiled.
He suddenly had a headache and said, "Both of Jun'er's teachers want to resign. I'm wondering which two people to fill the vacancies."
"Didn't you say that after Yun Yi disbanded, he would take over?"
Qi Lingheng was worried about the other one. He tapped the table and said, "There is still one missing."
Lin Yunwan: "Let Lu Chi give it a try? Let him be the prince's minister for a few years first, and then decide whether to retain him or not."
Qi Lingheng thought for a while and agreed.
He had different ideas from Emperor Jingshun. He didn't like all the older teachers to teach Qi Zaijun. Those old prince's teachers would go in front of Qi Zaijun.
The young teacher can accompany him.
The Imperial Road is very lonely. Some people must leave it, and some people must keep it.
Lin Yunyi and Lu Changgong were the people he left for his son.
\
Qi Zaijun lived in the palace for a long time and attended classes in the palace every day.
I got up after getting enough sleep that day. When I arrived at the school, the teacher was already waiting inside.
He didn't expect to see two new faces at once.
"uncle……"
Qi Zaijun shut up when he thought that his father, queen, mother and concubine would not let him call Uncle Lin Yunyi outside.
"Your Majesty."
Lin Yunyi and Lu Changgong paid their respects to Qi Zaijun together.
Qi Zaijun was very polite and said, "Teacher, please get up." He bowed to them and said, "Students, please give your regards to the teacher."
"Prince, please rise."
Qi Zaijun sat anxiously waiting for class. For some reason, he had a very bad feeling.
His feeling was right.
Lin Yunyi and Lu Chi, one sang the red face, the other sang the bad face, and they sang a good double act. Qi Zaijun's performance improved by leaps and bounds, and both of them became much more stable.
Later, Qi Lingheng ascended the throne as emperor, made Qi Zaijun the prince, and named his only sister Princess Penglai.
The two prince's tutors were too outstanding, and they were Jinshi during the Jingshun period.
Known as the Invesco Twins.
