In the Western Garden of the Imperial Palace, Emperor Xinde first listened to politics after the New Year. As usual, he still didn't like to meet people. Among the ministers, only a few cabinet ministers could see the nature of the sky.

Among the royal family, even the princes, including the princess, were turned away by him. After this time, the palace examination kicked off.

The Zhonghe Hall of the palace has welcomed the visit of the palace master for the first time in three years. Entering the palace from the south gate of the palace, there is a special imperial road, which is unique to the emperor.

Except for the emperor, there are only four people in the world who are qualified to walk on the imperial road. The first person is when the emperor is married. The queen enters the palace through the southern gate imperial road.

The other three were the three great talents who were selected as the top scorer and the second place by the emperor after the palace examination. These three were qualified to leave the palace on the imperial road. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that for the Dakang Empire, the palace examination was the most solemn event in the entire country, with the attention of the whole country and the attention of everyone.

For officials of the Dakang Dynasty, the imperial examination was the only way. From prime ministers to county officials, from first to ninth ranks, they all needed to participate in the imperial examination and were hired by the court. There was no other way.

The palace examination is the top examination for the imperial examination. Almost all students who can take the palace examination are pillars of the country. As the saying goes, climbing to the Golden Palace and becoming the disciples of the emperor is a supreme glory for scholars.

Therefore, even if Emperor Xinde ruled without doing anything, even if he was obsessed with cultivating immortals and could not extricate himself, he never dared to abstain from the palace examination every three years. Because once the emperor missed the palace examination, it would mean that there would be no successor to the Dakang Kingdom, and there would be a gap in the officialdom, and the entire country would gradually fall into a huge crisis.

On the day of the palace examination, the candidate entered Zhonghe Hall from the south gate, met the emperor in Zhonghe Hall, and accepted the exam questions given by the emperor himself, and the palace examination officially began.

A palace examination, as the emperor, needs supervision from beginning to end, and it even sublimates into a grand ceremony. Lu Zheng was in the Golden Palace at this time, and he was one of the hundreds of candidates participating in the palace examination.

As a Huiyuan, he did not receive much preferential treatment. After the written test, the prelude to the palace was correct. Emperor Xinde finally turned his attention to him. Emperor Xinde seemed to be in a very good mood. He waved to Lu Zheng and said:

"Lu Zheng, I am very happy and very pleased. You are already a fifth-rank official, but for this big exam, you are willing to resign from your official position and prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Moreover, you are not moved at all in the face of the complicated and complicated things outside, and always keep in mind the duty of a scholar. This is rare!

I like scholars like you, and you have not disappointed my expectations for you. You stood out in the imperial examination. Even Lord Wang Shan praised you very much. Few young people can compete with you."

Lu Zheng hurriedly said, "Thank you for your praise. The students are frightened. The students read the books of sages and have a heart of worrying about the country and the people. They hope that one day they can solve the problems for the emperor and benefit the people of the world. Apart from this, the students dare not have other delusions."

Emperor Xinde nodded slightly and said, "Okay, very good! You are also the best in the palace examination I presided over. I have appointed you as the top scorer in this palace examination!"

Lu Zheng was slightly stunned for a moment, immediately bowed his head and said, "Student, thank the emperor for his kindness!"

"Pretty!" Emperor Xinde raised his hand gently and stared at Lu Zheng with a narrow eyes and said, "Before this, I heard many anecdotes outside, one of which is related to Dai Xiang. Dai Xiang said that whoever wins the top scorer is qualified to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I know that Lu Qing and the Prime Minister's Mansion's lady Dai Xiaojing are a perfect match. Of course, the most important thing is that Lu Qing is indeed very talented and well-deserved, and deserves the first place in the palace examination. So, for Lu Qing, you are happy, haha..."

Emperor Xinde laughed loudly, Lu Zheng quickly lowered his head and said seriously: "Thank you for your accomplishment. Students cannot repay you. They can only be loyal to Your Majesty for the rest of their lives and solve your problems!"

As Lu Zheng said these words, countless thoughts arose in his mind. It is obvious that there are more considerations behind Emperor Xinde’s accomplishment, because fulfilling Lu Zheng means giving up Dai Gao.

Lu Changhe made it clear that the emperor could not allow Lu Zheng to be both Lu Changhe’s godson and the son-in-law of the prime minister. Now, Lu Zheng and Dai Xiaojing finally got married with lovers, which means that Dai Gao’s prime minister may have reached the end.

A power minister who has been in charge of the government for more than ten years suddenly disappeared. How much power vacuum should be left? Behind such a major change, what is the complex interest entanglement?

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a change in the court directed by Emperor Xinde himself. After experiencing this change, the politics of the Dakang Dynasty moved to a new direction.

After Dai Gao, it is almost impossible for a prime minister to have such great power as Dai Gao. The reason is that the capital is different from the capital more than ten years ago.

The current crown princes, King Qin and King Qi have their own power and their own troops, and their wings are getting richer. They will no longer allow new powerful ministers to appear.

From this perspective, Dai Gao's resignation will make the competition between all forces in the capital unprecedentedly fierce, and will make the prince more and more sharp. Is such a change a blessing or a disaster?

Lu Zheng was deeply worried and wary about this, but at this moment, he could not reveal any of it!

All the talents at the scene looked envious of Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng, the new top scorer, had already won two yuan before. Now he won three yuan in a row, becoming the first talent to win three yuan in a row in a row in the founding of the Great Kang Dynasty. Such an honor can be recorded in history. At this moment, Lu Zheng was in the limelight for a while.

After Lu Zheng, the emperor ordered the second place and Tanhua. As expected, the second place was obtained by Zhao Nan and Tanhua was obtained by Ma Rusong. These three people became the biggest stars in the palace examination.

The list of palace examinations was posted outside the palace. As the top scholar, Lu Zheng entered the Hanlin Academy and became an editor of the Hanlin Academy. This was just a seventh-rank position. Everyone knew that Lu Zheng's position was only temporary. Because Lu Zheng was already a fifth-rank official before the exam, and Lu Zheng also had a title. What Lu Zheng needed was to wait. Wait until the emperor's imperial edict came down, and Lu Zheng's official position could be determined immediately.

Anyone who is well versed in the court knows that the time when the emperor's imperial edict is the time for the change of the court. This day is not far away, and it is time for Dai Gao to express his opinion...

...

After the palace examination, the capital was not surprised by the result at all.

However, the people's discussions between Lu Zheng and Dai Gao became more and more enthusiastic. When Dai Gao said that whoever won the top scorer would marry his daughter to whom. Now Lu Zheng is arrogant and won the top scorer. What should Dai Gao do? Will his dignified prime minister go back on his word?

Almost everyone is excited when talking about this. What else in this world is more exciting than slapping Dai Gao in the face?

Dai Gao hated Lu Zheng to death, but he had no choice but to deal with Lu Zheng. Dai Gao didn't want to marry his daughter to Lu Zheng, but Lu Zheng always had a way to win the heart of Miss Dai's Mansion. Dai Gao deliberately wanted to break up the couple, but he failed to lose all the rice. Instead, he fell into the trap he set.

It's so satisfying, it's so satisfying. Lu Zheng did something that everyone wanted to do but dared not do. Lu Zheng not only fought against the treacherous minister, but also deceived the treacherous minister's daughter. As a father, Dai Gao had to marry a daughter. It's really nothing more for a man to live to the level of Lu Zheng in his life!

Overnight, Lu Zheng became an idol in people's eyes, and his popularity was unparalleled. In the capital, for all forces and top powerful people, they were also deeply analyzing this matter.

"So that's it! So that's it! Haha, Dai Gao, Dai Gao, you have been cunning and insidious all your life. This time you shot yourself in the foot, haha! I said why did my father admire this child named Lu so much? It turns out that his father is a drunk man, and he is not drunk. What is the method of his father? This is a method of not killing blood! Dai Gao is heading to the end, and his father is wise!" The prince laughed in front of his many advisers in the East Palace. He laughed so happily and in a great mood.

His number one adviser, monk, put his hands together and said quietly: "Crown Prince, it is indeed a great joy at this time. I guess the prince's brothers should also understand Your Majesty's intentions at this time. At this time, we have to think about what to do next.

Dai Gao has been in the court for more than ten years, and the centipede worm dies without being stiff. In this case, how can we maximize our interests? This is the key!”

"Master, you have something to say. At this moment, don't be pretentious. I have always followed your plan!" said the prince.

Dao Zong said: "Crown Prince, I think the key person is Lu Zheng. Your Majesty used Lu Zheng to force Dai Gao away, using a method of making a big move. This shows that Lu Zheng is a person with great importance in Your Majesty's heart! If nothing unexpected happens, it will come soon at the right time. Lu Zheng will definitely be valued by Your Majesty. In such a situation, we have to take the lead.

Prince, there is a saying that when you make a fortune, it is worth it to win over Lu Zheng at this time! Because in this way, you not only get a pillar of talent, but more importantly, through Lu Zheng, the prince can win the hearts of the people of the court and the people after Dai Gao's destruction..."

The prince nodded slightly and clapped his hands and said, "Master, you are the old minister's words of a country. I did underestimate Lu Zheng before. Although I wanted to win over many times, I have never invested a lot. It seems that it is time to take action now!

Come, please come to the Censorate, Lord Nie Yongnie, come to see me. I have important errands to hand over to him!"
