Chapter 489
Lu Zheng plunged into Fayuan Temple and buried his head in studying. Dai Xiaojing also left Lu Mansion. Lu Zheng had a beautiful woman to accompany him during his daily study time, and his life was so easy.
The private association of a young man and woman is naturally unknown to outsiders. With the power and resources in Dai Gao's hands, he can block such news without missing a trace of the news!
Of course, when Lu Zheng chose Fayuan Temple, there would be a lot of discussion outside. However, all the discussions could not be based on facts, so they could only make random conjectures. At first, people paid great attention to it, but gradually they lost their new ideas and became less interested.
In fact, the capital city is destined to be uneasy this winter. Although Lu Zheng hid in Fayuan Temple, he could not escape the right and wrong about him.
Soon, news came out in the capital, saying that Dai Gao was secretly planning next year's spring exam. Dai Gao's goal was very clear, that is, to block Lu Zheng at all costs in the spring exam. It would never allow Lu Zheng, Jiangnan Jieyuan, to show off again and become Huiyuan or even the top scorer.
After the news came out, it was said that all forces in the capital responded positively, and soon the nature of the matter changed, and everyone's discussion on this quickly climaxed.
"Oh, have you heard that? The Dai Xiang's mansion has invested a lot this time! It is said that Dai Xiang has been thinking about recruiting a son-in-law this time. In the palace examination next year, if anyone can win the top scorer, Dai Xiang will betroth his daughter to whom. Tsk, tsk, this matter is exciting. I have been studying hard for ten years, not only will I be named on the list, but I can also hold a beautiful woman..."
"Where did you hear the news? Is it spread rumors? Dai Gao would marry his daughter here in a hasty way? Besides, is the prime minister's daughter still worried about marrying?"
"No, no, this is definitely not hearsay or spreading rumors. Now the entire capital has caused huge uproar because of this incident. It is said that the prince, the King of Qin and the King of Qi are secretly screening out their talents. Why do you think? Isn't it just to climb to the Prime Minister's Mansion?
If the prince's disciple or a prince's disciple can win the top scorer, he can become Dai Gao's son-in-law. In this way, will this prince also get Dai Gao's help?"
"So that's it! I said why the capital has become so lively recently? The eight most popular alleys a few days ago suddenly became deserted. It turns out that it's because of this!"
"No? Now all the students who participated in the exam are full of energy! Lu Zheng is good at having talent, but he is just Jieyuan in Jiangnan. There are dozens of provinces in the country and dozens of Jieyuan in the provincial examinations! If Lu Zheng is the number one talent in Dakang, I'm afraid someone will not accept it!"
Everyone was talking about it, and the focus was on Dai Xiang's marriage to his daughter. This incident was so circulated that it was full of eyes, which could be said to have shocked people's eyes.
With Dai Gao's identity and status, will his daughter be worried about marrying? The answer is obviously no, but why is Dai Gao so anxious to marry his daughter?
Everyone generally believes that there is a private meeting between Lu Zheng and Dai Xiaojing, and Dai Gao can no longer bear it. On the one hand, he hates Lu Zheng very much, and on the other hand, he also wants to finish the matter.
I hated Lu Zheng so much that I wanted to find someone to cover up Lu Zheng's limelight. To end this matter, what else can be more neat than marrying my daughter?
But these two things were actually unified, Dai Gao simply spoke out and wanted to have a spring exam to recruit brides. What's so strange about this?
After this news came out, Lu Zheng's hidden study in Fayuan Temple was quickly forgotten. At this moment, those who were usually very resentful to Lu Zheng and Dai Xiaojing's secrets changed their minds for a while, and they all stood on the side of Lu Zheng and Dai Xiaojing...
The Great Kang Dynasty was ultimately a feudal Confucian dynasty, and the doctrine of men and women teaching and receiving unfamiliarity was deeply rooted in people's hearts. However, the popular stories among young men and women were "The West Chamber" and "The Peach Blossom Fan". Lu Zheng and Dai Xiaojing were like the protagonists in the novel. They were handsome and beautiful, and they were in love with each other. The heaven and earth were very close.
At present, Dai Gao used this method to forcefully disassemble the two of them, so how can people not feel unbearable? There are too many tragedies in the novel. In real life, people are more willing to see comedy. When a person is born, he is good in nature, and people like the story of lovers finally getting married.
For a moment, on the one hand, the capital was in full swing to organize various ways to deal with Lu Zheng. However, among the people and the people, Lu Zheng was increasingly concerned and supported. Those who had a lot of opinions and complaints about Lu Zheng's private meeting with Dai Xiaojing gradually reversed their thoughts, and the situation in the capital gradually became more and more subtle and elusive...
...
In the East Palace, the disciples of the Prince Zhaoluo gathered together today. Look at his appearance. Today, he was wearing a five-clawed python garment and a king's crane. He was full of energy and said:
"There are two meanings for you to come here in Japan. The first meaning is that I have always admired talented people, especially young talents. After the Chinese New Year, February will be the examination. I want to meet you!"
He paused slightly and said, "The second meaning is that I really hope that the talents I am optimistic about can make a big splash in the grand exam next year, and even the top scorer in high school. If there is such a person in the middle, I will make the decision for you and you can go to the Dai Xiang Mansion to propose marriage immediately.
I will not hide it from you. Miss Dai's father is the best socialite in the capital. She is both talented and beautiful, and she is really a beautiful woman..."
As soon as the prince said these words, the whole hall was in an uproar and the whole audience was shocked. No one expected that the prince would tell the news that was so straightforward and so confident. What does this mean? This shows that the rumors outside are definitely not groundless, but are indeed true...
Nie Yong stared at this scene with a complicated thought. He was now considered a close minister of the prince. He was wondering, if Lu Zheng had been on the prince's side before, would the Eastern Palace have taken care of this matter so much?
Lu Zheng is Nie Yong's student. To be honest, Nie Yong was quite disgusted with Dai Gao's behavior and was worried about Lu Zheng. But for him, it was also an opportunity to show his face in front of the prince to make contributions.
If you really want to deal with Lu Zheng, know yourself and your enemy and win every battle, Nie Yong is extremely familiar with what kind of talent Lu Zheng has. The prince has selected one or two elites and asked Nie Yong to give him careful guidance. He will definitely benefit a lot and will be a great help to the big test.
Besides, news came from the palace that the examiner of this exam had already been appointed by the emperor. Wang Shan was over 70 years old, but his identity was extremely transcendent and he was the imperial teacher that Emperor Xinde respected the most.
When Emperor Xinde was young, he became a disciple of Wang Shan. This time the emperor asked his teacher to come out to preside over this examination, which shows that this examination was unusual.
Wang Shan is a straightforward person, so no one can question the fairness and justice of this exam, but Nie Yong understood that this exam would inevitably be beneficial to the prince's disciples.
Wang Shan is a person who talks about the way of the ruler and the subjects. In the current dispute between the various philosophers in the capital, he is the most determined person to stand on the side of the prince. The reason is very simple. The crown prince of the country is the crown prince, the future emperor. His loyalty to the prince is the king, so more than once, Wang Shan scolded the King of Qin and the King of Qi in the court. Now he is presiding over the examination, so how can he not be biased towards the prince's disciple?
So much good news has made the prince very excited recently. It is no exaggeration to say that the Eastern Palace has spent a lot of effort to recruit talents this time. After all, this matter is related to the matter of being close to the prime minister.
The East Palace is very lively. The Qin Palace, which has been dormant and low-key, is actually the same scene. The Qi Palace also attaches great importance to this matter.
Can you not pay attention to it? The forces in the capital are fighting and fighting among the princes. The most fundamental reason is that Dai Gao's attitude is unclear.
If Dai Gao had a clear attitude in the fight between the prince, the situation in the capital would be quickly simplified. If he supported any prince, this prince would quickly gain an absolute advantage, and the so-called dispute would quickly become without suspense.
Who can resist such temptation? Therefore, the top students in the capital received unprecedented courtesy at once. Several princes even showed their magical powers in the way of attracting people, and they all spent a lot of money...
On the Lu Mansion, when a group of Lu brothers who had just arrived in the capital heard this kind of news, they were all in awe. Overnight, the situation that had been relieved became intensified again. For them, it seemed that the entire capital was standing opposite the Lu family.
Originally, the struggle between the Lu family in Jiangnan and Dai Gao was a very absurd and overestimated joke. When the Lu family was in danger, they were in a hurry to seek medical treatment and climbed up to the first emperor of the Xuanjingsi, Lu Changhe, and the situation of the Lu family finally got some relief.
But now Dai Gao used incredible means to pull the prince and several princes in the capital to his side. So many people were carrying the talented men of the entire Dakang Dynasty to be enemies with Lu Zheng, which directly made the ease of the situation even more tense, and the Lu family seemed to be in a turbulent manner...
However, Lu Qian, Lu Lun and others went to see Lu Shanchang worriedly to discuss countermeasures, but Lu Shanchang had no opinion on this. The old man seemed to have been fascinated by Peking Opera recently and became obsessed with it.
Not only did he take turns to the major opera liners in the capital to perform at home, but he also performed on stage with his own outfits. Something big happened at home, and the old man was absent-minded, so anxious that Lu Qian and others could not make any choice.
At present, Lu Lun is the only one in the Lu family, but what can Lu Lun, a small doctor, do? When he contacted Lu Changhe, he thought he had no weight at all. For a moment, the brothers discussed calling Lu Zheng back from Fayuan Temple.
