"Xuanlu rides the wind to see you!"

The two delicately carved purple sandalwood doors with auspicious dragons and phoenixes immediately opened.

On the golden dragon chair, Emperor Jing was seen sitting upright with a heavy jaw and a solemn expression.

The bright yellow dragon robe is embroidered with dragons across the sea. Under the motionless crown bead curtain, a pair of slender red and phoenix eyes raise their eyelids from time to time to scan the surroundings.

Although he is already over sixty years old, his gray temples and the deep wrinkles at the corners of his mouth are like medals engraved by the empire, making him even more regal and extraordinary!

The main hall was filled with officials wearing black turbans and hats, arranged in columns.

From the entrance of the palace to the steps of the dragon chair, there are green, cyan, crimson and purple court clothes. With the dragon chair as the center, they are divided into two rows: under the left side of the dragon chair, they are all civil servants, and the court clothes on the chest are embroidered respectively.

On the right side of the dragon chair are white pheasants, wild geese, peacocks, golden pheasants, and cranes; on the right side of the dragon chair are military generals, with bears, tigers, leopards, lions, and unicorns embroidered on their chests.

All ministers stood in formal attire, holding wats in both hands.

"Lu Chengfeng came forward to receive the order!" the father-in-law standing beside Emperor Jing said, raising the dust in his hand.

"Let's meet your Majesty in Xialu Chengfeng, long live my emperor!" Lu Chengfeng knelt down and kowtowed, Shan shouted.

"No gift! Raise your head and let me see." The bead curtain on the crown moved slightly.

Lu Chengfeng kowtowed again, thanked him, raised his head, and stood up.

"She looks pretty and delicate, but she looks like a doll." Emperor Jing said as he raised his slender red phoenix eyes.

Lu Chengfeng touched his right eyebrow in embarrassment. For a long time, he didn't know how to respond. He just stood blankly in the middle of the hall, feeling that everyone's eyes were burning on him, like sharp swords.

Hey, I didn’t use Head and Shoulders today, why should I feel this feeling of being the center of attention? Lu Chengfeng laughed at himself.

"Your Majesty, this child has just been recalled. Once he saw his face, he must have been overwhelmed with joy. He didn't know how to answer for a while. It's understandable. It's better to consecrate him first and stay in the capital.

Train him slowly and learn the etiquette of my Dajing poetry and calligraphy before sending him to the north end."

It was His Royal Highness King Xuan who stepped forward to help Lu Chengfeng relieve the siege.

"Fourth brother, I think he must learn etiquette carefully, but as for poetry and books, that's not necessary.

Well. I heard that this guy killed everyone in Tianxiang Tower last night, and then came to my Jiu Xianju Dojo and won the first place. It has been spread among the people."

A voice said with neither yin nor yang, and it was unclear whether it sounded praise or criticism.

Oops! Is it him? It’s the prince! Lu Chengfeng clenched his fist subconsciously.

"I have also heard a little bit about it. The little emperor was so majestic last night! But as soon as he entered the capital, he went straight to the Goulanwashabu and fought with someone over a brothel girl. It is really beneath the dignity of the royal family! Your Majesty, this is

It remains to be seen whether the son can shoulder the important responsibilities of the Tian family. Wei Chen suggested that he postpone the canonization and stay in the palace to teach first."

A purple-robed civil servant standing in the front row said plausibly.

Lu Chengfeng knew without thinking that it must be Prime Minister Tang. Last night he beat his son and the people in his house to a pulp! Who knows what other bad ideas are waiting for him soon?

Besides, the prince is here to help, will it be like those palace fighting dramas he has watched, where he is always rewarded with a trophy?

As he thought about it, drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Prince Xuan, I happened to be at Jiuxianju last night and witnessed with my own eyes the little emperor's grandson's verbal battle with the scholars. He is really eloquent, agile in writing, and insightful. He is a rare talent in Dajing.

Na!"

Old Master Xu stood up tremblingly and defended him excitedly.

"I would like to report to the emperor, my sons and ministers also think that this son can be of great use! He should be included in the imperial edict as soon as possible!" King Xuan said firmly.

Emperor Jing glanced at King Xuan with a half-smile, then at the prince, then stared at him and said slowly:

"Your name is Lu Chengfeng, right? Come on, do you dare to let me pass the exam? If you pass the exam, you can be officially admitted to the school! If you fail the exam, you can go back to where you came from, and you will not be able to do anything in this life.

Even if you become the grandson of the emperor again, you will not be allowed to enter the imperial city again! Do you dare?"

Lu Chengfeng met Emperor Jing's bottomless and sharp eyes like an eagle head-on. He straightened his back, raised his face high, and said, "Dare! Just take the test! I don't know if Your Majesty wants to test me."

What?"

"Young man, you are so brave! Let me ask you three questions!" Emperor Jing gently raised his hand, spun it in the air a few times, and asked, "The first question is about a big country, whether to fight or not to fight, what is the choice?

What is it?"

“If a person is prepared, he can control others. If he is not prepared, he will be able to control others.

Preparation is controlled by people. Even if the country is big, if it loves war, it will perish; although the world is safe, if it forgets to fight, it will be in danger! Therefore, the combination of both is the way to a great country!" Lu Chengfeng replied confidently.

"Okay! Then let me ask you again, right now, between our country and the northern end, which one is more suitable for war or non-war?" Emperor Jing asked.

Everyone's minds were tense. It was related to the current situation of the court. Does this young boy with yellow hair in front of him understand? Even if he understood, in this Golden Palace, at the feet of the emperor, how dare he make arrogant comments? If you can't answer this well, you will lose your head!

Just listen to the young man replying unhurriedly:

"If we attack a city of three li and a country of seven li, the number of people killed will be tens of thousands, and the number of people will be numbered thousands. The number of dead soldiers will be innumerable, and the refugees will be innumerable. The people's residences will be uneasy, food will not come in time, and they will be hungry and full.

No integrity. However, the king is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Therefore, it is the best strategy for a wise king to stop fighting, avoid war, and seek peace and tranquility for the people!"

After saying this, everyone was shocked! They saw that the young man was leisurely and contented, with an expression of a sure victory.

Lu Chengfeng thought to himself, it's hard to miss the book when it comes to use. Fortunately, it was within the range of my previous endorsement, so he proudly raised his right eyebrow again, with a proud look on his face.

"Good water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it!" Emperor Jing cheered. The beaded curtain on the crown was shaking, making it difficult to see his facial expression clearly, but after thinking about it, he must be very satisfied.

Yes, even a little overjoyed!

"Last question, since you said you should sue for peace, are you willing to go to the north to negotiate peace and end the war for the sake of my people, Dajing?"

"I am willing! As long as the northern country is willing to conclude an alliance with me and never fight again, Lu Chengfeng, even if I am shattered into pieces, what do I have to fear?" Lu Chengfeng knelt down and answered with dignity.

Dao, full of blood and courage, spurting out!

"Yes." Emperor Jing nodded with satisfaction and said, "As expected of my Tian family man! Dajing subjects! He Zhixu, Minister of Rites, is preparing for the canonization ceremony. Pick an auspicious day for him and complete the ceremony as soon as possible!" After that, he

Walk away.

"I obey the decree!" He Zhixu, Minister of Rites, knelt down and said.

"Long live my emperor!" There was another cry from the mountains.
Chapter completed!
