Shang Lu's words scared Bai Minghe.

If the Three Yuan and the Three are glorious, the cabinet's auxiliary ministers represent power and status.

What does this horse-mounted stone mean? Bai Minghe didn’t understand it. Is it the horse-mounted stone when the top scholar was parading on the street, or the horse-mounted stone when returning home in glory, or the horse-mounted stone in life?

Snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky. I could see the bright moon just now, but at this time, the sky was filled with dark clouds.

I just don’t know if this is a warning from God or just a coincidence.

Shang Lu and Bai Minghe sat opposite each other, and Ren Zexue snowflakes floated on them. They just looked at each other silently.

But the snow didn't last long, but it started to be mixed with raindrops.

"The snow has passed, the rain has fallen, and spring has arrived. Today will be a good time. Go, March 14th, I am waiting for you in the capital!" Shang Lu said, his eyes closed and he no longer looked at Bai Minghe. He still made a decision in his heart.

After carefully thinking about Shang Lu's words, Bai Minghe stood up and bowed and left.

"Husband!" Sun Yuanjun came to meet outside the garden, and Bai Minghe just nodded: "Go back to the inn!" After that, Bai Minghe did not say a word along the way, and there was only the squeaking sound of carriage axles around him.

In the garden, a follower held up an umbrella to block the rain and snow for Shanglu.

"Go back to the capital, go back to the capital overnight." Shang Lu's tone was extremely calm. The follower was still standing there motionless. Naturally, someone was going to arrange a boat next to him. It was safest to take a boat back to the capital here, and Shang Lu could rest on the boat, which was much better than the bumps of the carriage.

Bai Minghe, who returned to the inn, was thinking about Shang Lu's words and didn't sleep for almost a night.

It was said that it was one night, but at this time, many ministers in the capital had already begun to prepare for court. At three o'clock in the morning, it was the time for the ministers to gather in front of the palace gate. At five o'clock, the palace gate opened and the morning court began.

After dawn, Bai Minghe found Lu Changjie: "Brother Lu, I'm going back to Xiaquan Village. Thank you for your hospitality in Zhuozhou. Bai may not remember the prescription, but it will definitely be possible to use it if you find a few famous doctors."

"It's a blessing for Brother Bai Nian." Lu Changjie seemed to have something to say, but after hesitating for a while, he took out a wooden sign: "Brother Bai, if you have something to do, you can directly see my third uncle with this sign."

"Thank you Brother Lu!" Bai Minghe didn't say much, took the wooden sign and put it in his pocket.

On the way home of Bai Minghe, a small thing happened. Bai Minghe bought a few baskets of steamed buns in order to be afraid of evil on the road. But after leaving the city, the store charged him a few cents less and returned him to send him money.

Zhuozhou City naturally has mixed reviews about this matter.

Some people say that the white-famous crane is loyal to reputation and keeps trustworthy. Some people say that the white-famous crane is doing a show. Some people even argue about it.

What is the truth? I am afraid that only Bai Minghe himself knows what Bai Minghe thinks.

On the way back to Xiaquan Village, there was a carriage following Bai Minghe. The carriage was Luhe, one of the three courtesans in the capital. As for why he kept following, I am afraid that only Luhe himself knew.

After Bai Minghe returned to Xiaquan Village, he rushed to the construction site of Qingquan Mountain as soon as possible.

At the same time, in the capital, Yu Qian’s Mansion.

Yu Qian is the Minister of War, but he only has a three-entry courtyard. To be honest, the Sun Yuanjun family, which was originally a school club, is dozens of feet larger than Yu Qian's courtyard.

But this is Yu Qian. There is only one old pounce and two servants in his family. The sergeant in charge of guarding the gate was sent by the Ministry of War. In other words, Yu Qian didn't even have a gatekeeper, and his life was simple, but Yu Qian was happy.

There are not many guests at Yu Qian's house, and today there are only three guests sitting in the main hall.

One is Shang Lu, the other is Lu Zhengqiu, and the last one is a military officer Mao Sheng, who was appointed as the left governor and is now the garrison of the Beijing Army.

"When Bai Minghe talked about my reputation, it was only three Yuan Ju. When I heard this, I felt cold on my back." Shang Lu spoke first, and the first sentence grabbed the hearts of everyone present. Shang Lu continued: "He said, the heights are so cold. If this was the first words, if it were placed in the mouth of a husband above millions, I would not be surprised. But Bai Minghe was only eighteen years old!"

"Give Bai Minghe a Shuji Shi!" Yu Qian spoke.

"The officials are attached to the rituals!" Lu Zhengqiu also supported this statement.

The military general Mao Sheng said, "Whether you have the ability is not a prank. However, you can't show your ability without an official. According to me, it doesn't matter if you give a top scholar. But Yang Ning, an old man, only knows the meaning of poetry, writing, and this time he is the chief examiner, these things are hard to say!"

"Actually easy!" Lu Zhengqiu stood up: "My dear sirs, Yang Buwu, the son of Yang Shangshu, will also participate in the Beijing examination this year, but because he avoids the rules, he is ready to give up. I can write a letter and write articles on the avoidance of the imperial examination with the theme of Shangshu Yang's virtues, and make a big move without avoiding relatives."

Good idea! Everyone in the room couldn't help but applaud.

Thinking about it, Yang Ning either did not avoid it. In the exam, he could only place his son in the middle. Then the top scorer must have a very famous person so that he can guarantee his reputation.

On the contrary, Yang Ning, you should give up the position of chief examiner yourself.

"Also, you should be careful with the villain like Peng Shi. Although we have done some unlucky things, we are all doing the Ming Dynasty. Even if we are infamous, we are not afraid of being criticized. But this kid is the real person who is greedy for fame and fortune. Within two years, if you don't praise him to the top, he will be transferred to the old fox side of Gaogu."

Mao Sheng's voice was so loud that the three people in the house wanted to cover their ears.

Shang Lu nodded slightly. He also knew some of Peng Shi's temperament. He had never dared to believe such a person. He became a member of the cabinet and owned the bachelor's title was an opportunity. But to be honest, he was just one term earlier than Peng Shi.

Shang Lu was the top scholar in Zhengtong's ten years, while Peng Shi was the thirteenth year of Zhengtong.

Shang Lu was two years older than Peng Shi, but Peng Shi has always regarded himself as a junior for the past two years. How can this make Shang Lu not have a lot of mind? Even if a person who can reach a prominent position in the Ming Dynasty is extremely upright, his heart will never be simple. Simple people cannot sit in the high position.

Yu Qian was the leader of the Zhongxing faction, and Shang Lu always put himself under Yu Qian. Mao Sheng was the representative of the military general. Lu Zhengqiu was responsible for many things and assigned personnel to do things.

After being recognized by Yu Qian, Shang Lu stood up and said goodbye, and he had to go to the cabinet to serve.

The cabinet was in the palace, and Gao Gu, the second assistant to the cabinet, was also waiting for Shang Lu to take over. At this time, the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty did not have great power as it did in the middle and late Ming periods.

At this time, the Ming Cabinet was like the emperor's secretariat, and the greatest power was still in the hands of the emperor and the six ministries.

Imperial Palace, Ganqing Palace, Nanshu.

Zhu Qiyu, the Emperor Daizong of the Ming Dynasty, sat there for half an hour and stopped moving. In front of him was the poem written by Cheng Jing and written by Bai Minghe.

"Cheng Talk, what do you think!" Finally, Zhu Qiyu spoke.

He called Cheng Jing not the name of Dacheng or Xiaocheng, but the name of it when he was in the royal palace.

After Cheng Jing gave a salute, he only said four words: "Shocking!"

"So, what about Bai Minghe?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Cheng Jing did not answer immediately this time. Even though he had thought very seriously on the way back, he would consider it again and then slowly said: "If you go back, with the opinion of me, this person would have a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. If this person is a powerful minister, he will not be a counselor or a charming minister. Then there is another way to be an isolated minister. This is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Mainly Minister?" Zhu Qiyu didn't understand the meaning of these two words, he just made a simple repetition.

Cheng Jing said: "Long live, Huo Guang of Han!"

Zhu Qiyu has also read a lot of books. Huo Guang's merits and demerits and faults in the Han Dynasty have been discussed for thousands of years. Only one thing is certain is that Huo Guang is absolutely loyal to the Han Dynasty. But he is too keen on power.

Perhaps, many ambitions cannot be realized without power.

"Where is the lonely minister?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Cheng Jing knelt on both knees and kowtowed first: "I'm brave."

Zhu Qiyu immediately left and stretched out his hand to help him: "Chengtao is half of my teacher, I believe you. Even if you have passed some words, you will not be able to pass this door!"

"Long live thanking me. Such an lonely minister will be Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty!" Cheng Jing's head was tightly pressed against the floor.

Zhu Qiyu understood and sighed long: "It's a pity that I don't have a sister or a sister to marry him. If..." When it comes to the if, Zhu Qiyu was a little sad, so there are naturally some hidden things in it, which is not enough to be told to outsiders.

Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty has such a high evaluation.

Zhu Qiyu knew very well that Wei Qing was a lonely minister, who did not form cliques or engage in personal gain. From a cavalry slave to a general, he fought against the Huns for the Han Dynasty and conquered the prosperous Han Dynasty. Wei Qing made great contributions to the great achievements of Han Wu.

"Cheng Talk, you can make some arrangements. Just say it is my intention, let Bai Minghe be appointed as the assistant minister of the cabinet, Shang Lu. I will protect him as a Shuji scholar, and then let Shang Lu take care of it by himself. It is best to pass away a remote place, and I will be annoyed when I see him!" Zhu Qiyu had already made up his mind.

Back to the imperial case, I spread a piece of white paper and wrote a few words.

"This word is given to Bai Minghe. When you go back to check the classics, what achievements does Bai Qi have in Bai Qi's family's Wu'an Jun? I'm considering giving Wu'an Jun a title. Of course, this is after Bai Minghe can complete the next thing. As for Bai Minghe, you can arrange an official position and leave that matter to him!"

"Slave, take the order." Cheng Jing respectfully took the piece of paper and retreated to the study.

After returning to his house, Cheng Jing signaled the eunuch to go out, he opened the piece of paper with six big words on the paper.
Chapter completed!
