Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 147
Wang Yuzhou scolded in a cold voice, and was very dissatisfied with the fact that Dalang of the Lu family had painted in the palace examination.

Emperor Zhao turned a deaf ear to his words, and still stared at Lu Zhiting with serious eyes, "Why did you paint on this palace test?"

Lu Zhiting knelt on the ground and kowtowed slowly, his face was like a spring breeze, and he smiled calmly, "Return to your majesty, if you write this question with pen and ink alone, it is not enough to express my heart."

This is extremely arrogant.

It seems that he, the boss of the Lu family, has thoroughly figured out this topic.

Even if you understand the questions posed by the sage, you have to keep your tail between your legs.

Emperor Zhao rubbed the gentian in his hand, half-closed his sharp eyebrows, "Your heart? Then tell me clearly, what is the picture on your paper, and what is in your heart!"

He picked up the paper on the dragon case and threw it towards Lu Zhiting.

Wang Yuzhou shoved both hands into the cuffs of his official uniform, his face was full of fun.

Seeing the sage's furious look, it's enough for Lu Jialang to drink a pot today.

Lu Zhiting's heart beat like a drum, but he didn't dare to show any timidity on his face.

My little sister said last night that whether or not this play can be sung beautifully depends entirely on whether or not I can continue to perform.

What are you playing?
The acting is calm and calm, unmoving like a mountain.

He bowed his waist to pick up his own paper on the ground, looked up at the people in the hall, and finally fixed his eyes on Emperor Zhao, "The answer to the question given by the sage: Governing the country in treasures is the four paintings in the court."

Emperor Zhao smiled and said, "Don't play charades with me." He paused, his eyes glanced at the officials around him, "Let me ask you, are gold, jade, and east pearls considered treasures?"

"Calculate."

"A beautiful lady and fine wine are treasures?"

"Calculate."

"Are horses and weapons considered treasures?"

"Calculate."

Emperor Zhao burst out laughing loudly, and the beard on his jaw twitched slightly.

The left and right officials didn't understand why Emperor Zhao came here, so they could only stare and look at each other.

"You kid is full of treasures, but there is nothing that can be related to your painting."

Lu Zhiting raised his eyes lightly, his eyes were clear and clear, without any fear, "These are treasures, but they are not the treasures in my heart."

Emperor Zhao gradually lost his smile, and looked at Lu Zhiting with colder eyes, "These things are treasures to the world, but not to you, Lu Family Dalang?"

"Exactly."

There was another angry sound of gentian, "Presumptuous."

Lu Zhiting's heart trembled, and the palms holding the paper gradually began to sweat.

Wang Yuzhou curled his lips and ridiculed that Lu Jialang was overconfident and dared to refute the saint in public.

All the officials in the palace watched the play, but Yan Huaijin, His Highness, was a bystander.

With a half-smile, he stared at the two people in the hall singing the oboe.

This Lu family boss is really not simple.

Lu Zhiting couldn't bear the pressure of the superior, but he didn't bend his back.

Emperor Zhao seems to be examining, but also considering.

"Even if Your Majesty is angry, you should first listen to how this Lu Jialang explained his four paintings." Li Que stepped forward, blocking Emperor Zhao's sharp gaze like a sword.

Looking at the figure in front of him, Lu Zhiting couldn't help feeling surprised.

But he couldn't bear to think too much, so he quickly took this opportunity to take a breath.

"Left Prime Minister?" Emperor Zhao didn't understand what kind of fun he was here for.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I see that Lu Jialang's painting is very impressive. I want to hear if he can explain a thing or two."

When he said this, the Sixth Prince Yinglian's complexion was not very good-looking.

This Li Que is his man, how can he help the Lu family speak now?

Doesn't helping the Lu family mean helping Lao Jiu?
Ying Lian frowned and looked towards Ying Su.

Unexpectedly, Ying Su met his eyes directly, indifferently.

Those piercingly cold eyes seemed to see through people.

Yinglian shivered, swallowed a few times, and turned her head away embarrassingly.

Emperor Zhao looked at Li Que, Prime Minister of the Left, and Lu Zhiting who was kneeling on the ground, "Lu Jialang, please explain to me how these four paintings of yours are related to the test questions I gave."

Lu Zhiting kowtowed to Emperor Zhao, then knelt down and bowed deeply to Li Que.

He spread out his paper, and slowly opened his mouth in the huge Chaoyang Hall, saying, "Heaven has treasures, such as the sun, moon and stars; Earth has treasures, and the five grains are plentiful; state-owned treasures, loyal and talented generals, family treasures, filial sons and grandsons."

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Everyone stared at Lu Jialang in a daze, their faces turned pale with shock.

Even Emperor Zhao looked at Lu Zhiting with complicated emotions on his face.

Wang Yuzhou was dumbfounded, and the palm that was rubbing the fingers seemed to be bound by something, and it just froze.

Li Que turned around and glanced at the elegant Hao Erlang with a dazed expression.

Not long ago, I had ridiculed him.

Thinking of this, Li Que hurriedly turned around again, his old face was red, and he was a little ashamed.

Lu Zhiting knelt on the ground, looked at the crowd quietly, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, "The sage uses 'treasure' as the title. In fact, it is just based on 'heart'."

Emperor Zhao hurriedly said, "Continue talking."

"There are treasures in the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars. This is the virtue of good life, and it bestows the world with the change of day and night-this is compassion. The earth has treasures, and the grains are plentiful. This is the gift of the soil, so that the world will not be famine-this is kindness The state has treasures, loyal and talented generals. Worthy ministers speak out, military officers are brave and brave—this is loyalty. Family treasures, filial sons and grandsons. Serving before the bed during life, and not forgetting family instructions after death—this is filial piety.”

Although Lu Zhiting was kneeling on the main hall, he spoke more and more energetically, his voice rose again and again, and the entire Chaoyang Hall was full of his eloquent "Four Treasures Theory".

"What is governing a country in a treasure? It's just governing a country in the heart! In this world, what is rare is a treasure, and keeping one's heart is also a treasure!"

The conclusion of the last paragraph hit the ground, and all the officials in the Chaoyang Palace were dumbfounded.

But also woke up.
Many difficulties in my heart were easily solved.

Amidst the chaos and the world of mortals, the bright moon clearly illuminates the heart of a child.

The Lu family has produced another extraordinary person.

Emperor Zhao sat on the Nine Bead Dragon Chair, his bony arms went numb and his whole body trembled.

Even though there was commotion in the hall, I could still hear the turbulence in the blood clearly.

That was the urgency of his eagerness to seek talents when he ascended the throne when he was young.

The ministers in the palace, their expressions gradually changed from the initial joking and ridicule to a touch of deep thought.

His Highness, a hundred students in common clothes, looked at the man kneeling on the ground with his back standing like a pine in the distance, and admired him from the heart.

Yan Huaijin didn't seem to have thought that this Lu family boss would have such deep insights into the questions of the palace examination.

He lost, convinced.

"Good, good, good!" Emperor Zhao applauded three times in a row, obviously extremely happy.

Apart from being happy, he was also very pleased.

This Lu family never let him down.
"Dear dear ones, do you have any other ideas?" Emperor Zhao looked around the people in the palace with a wide smile, "If not, I will announce the third list of the palace examination."

Who dares to have a high opinion?

This Lu Jialang is so knowledgeable, who would dare to step forward and let him slap him in the face?
The hall was silent like cicadas, and even Wang Yuzhou was powerless to refute.

It was he who underestimated the enemy and fell into the Lu family's trap.

This Lu Jialang didn't use pen and ink at the beginning, but it was just a trick for him to "disguise". What he really wanted to do was to get the attention of the sage and make him underestimate the enemy.

Only in this way can he evade his own methods and not be afraid that his test paper will be placed in the bottom class.

Direct pilgrimage to answer questions, this is really a risky move.

"One top three, Suzhou Guhe bestows Tanhua, Beijing Yan Huaijin bestows the second place, and Beijing Lu Zhiting bestows the No. [-] scholar." Jiang Xian held the emperor's list and stood on the platform with a smile on his face to announce the decree.

Emperor Zhao stood up holding the gentian, facing the main hall and said in a loud voice, "Duke Lu——Lu Jinyan, has taught his son well. I allow him to return to his original post and take on the post of Minister of the Household Department."

Hearing this, Wang Yuzhou seemed to feel a throbbing pain in his heart, and hurriedly clutched his chest and passed out.

It took him so many years to bring Lu Jinyan down from his high position, why did he go back now?

"Phase Right. Phase Right"

Hundreds of officials surrounded him, mistaking him for heatstroke.

Pinch people, press tiger's den.

Emperor Zhao showed a meaningful smile on his skinny face, and waved his sleeves flutteringly away from Chaoyang Hall.

　The Ming Dynasty's "Feng Shen Yan Yi" said: "Heaven has treasures, the sun, the moon and the stars."There are treasures in the land, and there are five grain gardens.National treasures, loyal ministers and good generals. Family treasures, filial sons and grandsons.

　　Brother’s Theory of the Four Treasures is an extension of my thoughts~
