Chapter 190 Granting a Jinshi Origin(2/2)
The brows and cheeks were even more entangled at this moment.
"That traitor!" Lu Gongzhu said in his heart: "How can you be so lucky!"
"Last time, the young master personally called the number...this time, it was asked personally by the palace..."
But what can he do?
I can only be shameless and pretend to be proud.
He even had to smile and pretend to be touched.
Lu Xizhe, on the other hand, excitedly walked forward with his robe in hand and said, "Xizhe, the storyteller of Chongzheng Hall, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Then he saw the young master of the palace getting up from his throne and coming to the front of the palace in front of his Majesty. He looked at Lu Xizhe's appearance carefully through the railing.
After a while, he praised: "Shan! He is really a talented person with a graceful demeanor! He is worthy of being the son of a senior figure in the country and a famous official in the country!"
Lu Gongzhu could only stand up and thank him: "Your Majesty loves me so much that I love my house and my bird. I will repay you with ten thousand deaths!"
Lu Xizhe also followed suit and said: "How virtuous and capable I am, to receive such kindness from Your Majesty? I should repay it with death!"
Lu Xizhe was extremely happy now.
The emperor actually knows about me? He even asked me?
I have to write to Mr. Jiefu about this!
I heard the young master in the palace say: "You two dear ladies, please get up quickly!"
"The Qing family has served as the prime minister of our country for generations. It can be said that they are loyal and good from generation to generation!"
"Now that I see Lu Shuoshu, I know that our dynasty has gained another minister!"
Lu Gongzhu and Lu Xizhe listened to the confident voice of the young master in the palace.
Although, the young master's voice is childish, even though he is only eight years old.
But these words spoke directly to their hearts.
Whether it is written by Lu Gong or Lu Xizhe, at this moment, my heart is filled with emotion!
Especially Lu Xizhe, his heart is now occupied by an emotion called: the grace of knowing and encountering.
This is a temptation that the scholar-bureaucrats cannot resist or refuse - the recognition from the monarchy!
Aren't the scholar-bureaucrats who have learned literary and martial arts just brought goods to the emperor's family?
Now the emperor recognizes that this product is valuable.
For scholar-bureaucrats, this means that life has been sublimated!
So, both father and son bowed their heads and thanked him again.
Zhao Xu smiled and turned around.
He had already thought about it before doing this.
He also knew that the two palaces would not stop it.
Because Lu Gongzhu is not only a senior official, but also the core of the old party and has won the trust of both palaces.
Moreover, because of the Lu family, generations of people have a close relationship with the royal family.
In a sense, he is considered one of the royal family.
Therefore, Zhao Xu's doing these things is in line with his character and image - an emperor who treats his own people and those close to him meticulously, and tries every means to grant favors and grant officials!
So, Zhao Xu came to the curtain and said to the two palaces: "Mother, Queen, I want to ask for a favor..."
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were listening to Zhao Xu's words behind the curtain, and they had almost guessed what he was going to do?
They all laughed, and the Queen Mother asked: "What kind of grace does the official family want?"
"My grandson heard that Lu Shuoshu gave up his imperial examination status because he served Lu Xianggong..."
"My grandson thinks that the country praises filial sons and promotes filial piety... so we cannot let such filial sons suffer!"
"What's more, Lu's storytelling shows his talents. From my grandson's perspective, he must be a well-educated man!"
"Why don't you ask your mother-in-law and queen mother to give him a scholarship?"
Mr. Lu suddenly raised his head as he listened.
Of course he knew that the imperial examination of the Song Dynasty had the biggest backdoor.
That is the emperor!
The emperor can grant the title of Jinshi to a commoner without any title!
The person who is granted the title will be directly regarded as having the title of Jinshi from now on, and will enjoy the same treatment as a Jinshi in terms of official career and promotion!
This kind of gift is divided into three levels.
The first rank is to be awarded the title of Jinshi - naturally it is impossible to give this to people, otherwise all the scholars in the world will be upset.
Then it was given that he was a Jinshi!
It is equivalent to the title of the top three or four top Jinshi scholars!
This kind of grace is very rare! There are only a few isolated cases in every dynasty!
The last one is the one who was born as a Jinshi, which is the most common.
Now Lu Xizhe has been asked by the emperor to grant him a Jinshi background, which is considered to be the first of its kind for the emperor today!
But what can Mr. Lu do? Can he stand in the way of his son’s fame?
He could only bow with his hands in hand and close his mouth.
Lu Xizhe was overjoyed. He held the potion and bowed again: "I am a despicable savage. How dare you accept such a favor? I beg your majesty to take back my life!"
This is a false story.
Because even a fool can see that he is very excited and happy!
The two palaces behind the curtain both laughed.
The Empress Dowager said: "There is no need to refuse Lu Shushu!"
"The Storyteller is a great minister of our court and a filial son who is famous in the world!"
"The officials are right, the country should praise filial sons, and filial sons like storytellers should be praised!"
He also said to the Queen Mother: "Don't refuse to tell stories, thank you quickly!"
Lu Xizhe was 'helpless' and could only try to 'decline' again: "I have a weak virtue and dare not accept such a generous gift..."
Both palaces said: "The storyteller has a noble character and can be a model for the world. The officials favor storytellers. How can storytellers disappoint the officials?"
Lu Xizhe then bowed in his hands and said: "His Majesty the Emperor has great love, and the two palaces are kind and merciful... I, my minister, Xizhe, am willing to devote myself to it and go through fire and water!"
As he said this, he knelt on the ground and thanked him profusely.
Lu Gongzhu could only come forward with the fluorine in his hands and thank him again: "The dog is so miserable, but he is appreciated by your majesty. The two palaces are kind to you, and I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude!"
"I will try my best to repay you with the rest of my life!"
In his heart, Lu Gongzhu was shouting: "Your Majesty, the Cishengs of the Two Palaces... The reason why that rebellious son did not take the imperial examination was Wang Jiefu's advice!"
But he didn’t dare to say it!
He even had to help Lu Xizhe cover up!
He must not let the world know that Lu Gongzhu also has a Lu Jiawen in his family!
