In the palace, Emperor Xinde did not live in the bedroom, but in the West Garden.

The Western Garden has mountains and waters, covering a very wide area. Emperor Xinde cultivated the Taoist platform and built a elixir furnace, and transformed the entire Western Garden into a deep mountain Taoist temple. Not only was the environment extremely quiet and elegant, but it was also very detached. Usually, this is where Emperor Xinde practiced. The civil and military officials were not summoned and were not allowed to come to see each other.

Throughout history, there have been many emperors obsessed with practicing Taoism. Lu Zheng read history in his previous life and has a good understanding of the mentality of this type of emperor.

Obsessed with practicing Taoism is not a passive escape. On the contrary, this type of emperor often has a strong desire for power. They practice Taoism for immortality and forever to grasp power. This type of emperor is often moody and scheming, which is difficult to deal with.

Therefore, Lu Zheng was in a very complicated mood when he came to Xiyuan, and was cautious everywhere, as if walking on thin ice. He knew very well that the person he wanted to meet was the absolute ruler of Dakang Dynasty.

Lu Zheng offended Dai Gao. Although it was dangerous, there was still a glimmer of hope. However, if Emperor Xinde didn't like Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng would never have a place to turn over in his life.

If the king wants his minister to die, his minister has to die. This is the Confucian rule of the Great Kang Dynasty. Lu Zheng didn't know why Emperor Xinde knew that he was such a young scholar, but the boy said that Mr. Yan had a very deep foundation in the capital, and all kinds of hidden relationships were mixed, and even he couldn't figure it out.

Under such circumstances, although Lu Zheng was surprised at this opportunity to meet the saint, he also had some thoughts in his heart. He probably knew that this was most likely the secret foundation buried by Mr. Yan in the capital in secret was playing a role.

Chen Biao was extremely kind to Lu Zheng along the way. He narrowed his eyes and kept surfing Lu Zheng, making Lu Zheng feel uncomfortable.

As a eunuch on the pen, Chen Biao has a lot of power, but Dai Gao doesn't like him, making it difficult for him to exert his authority.

In the Silijian, Chen Biao has always been conscientious and cautious. No matter how much grievances he suffers, he can only endure and never have a sense of scruples. Therefore, Feng Ren, the eunuch in charge of the seal, trusts him more.

If Dai Gao's support, perhaps Chen Biao could go further after Feng Ren got old and become the chief seal of the Silijian. However, judging from the current situation, Chen Biao felt that this possibility was really slim.

So, deep down, he was very resentful to Dai Gao. Although he hid such resentment very deeply and no one could see it, this emotion did exist!

In the whole court, Dai Gao was the only one who was the only one in my power. Dakang was not afraid of anyone except the emperor, and no one dared to offend him. However, Dai Gao, who had such power, did not get any advantage in front of Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng made a big fuss in the prime minister's mansion and fought with Dai Gao several times, and performed extremely sharply. Dai Gao hated Lu Zheng to the core and wanted to demote him, but he did not expect it to cause dissatisfaction from the emperor.

Today, the emperor not only promoted Lu Zheng's uncle Lu Lu Lun, but also made an exception to meet Lu Zheng in person. Obviously, this was a silent warning to Dai Gao.

If Dai Gao is not restrained, he wants to be unfavorable to Lu Zheng again. Hehe, Chen Biao can understand the emperor's temperament! If you want someone to perish, you must first make people crazy. I don't know if Dai Gao understands this truth too!

Chen Biao can do only one thing at present, that is, after getting out of the sedan chair outside the palace, there are several roads to the Xiyuan.

Chen Biao chose the most lively road. After walking on this road, he had to pass through the Six Ministry’s Office, the Hanlin Courtyard, and finally the cabinet before he could reach Xiyuan.

Where is Chen Biao’s identity? Who doesn’t know him?

When people saw him and a young official, the two chatted and laughed and headed straight to Xiyuan, who would not be curious about this?

When everyone saw this scene, they pointed at the officials, then whispered, and then talked a lot.

Someone recognized Lu Zheng and couldn't help but say in a striking manner: "My God, that young man is Lu Zheng. It is said that he is less than eighteen years old. This time, the Ministry of Personnel asked him to go to Longyou to make up for the gap. Unexpectedly, even the emperor knew about this. He was going to Xiyuan to meet him!"

Going to Xiyuan to meet the emperor, but everyone of civil and military officials dreamed of. Since Emperor Xinde practiced Taoism, he has ignored the government affairs. Except for the few ministers in the cabinet, the other ministers had no chance to meet the emperor. Now Lu Zheng was wearing the small seventh-rank official uniform and actually went to Xiyuan to meet the saints. Not to mention ordinary fifth and sixth-rank official, even the second-rank minister and the third-rank minister were envious!

Chen Zhiqian, the Minister of Personnel, happened to see this scene, his face was very strange. He did it to fill Lu Zheng's vacancies in Longyou! His original intention was to flatter Dai Gao, but he didn't expect that this matter would be the result now. What should I do now? What would the prime minister think about this matter?

Chen Zhiqian was very nervous, but he was helpless. Can he go to find Dai Gao at this time? The colleagues around him looked at him obviously different from before!

Lu Zheng didn't know that Chen Biao had these twists and turns in his heart. He just felt that the journey of seeing the emperor was really far away. After walking such a long way in a state of nervousness, he felt relaxed.

When he arrived outside the Xiyuan, Chen Biao asked Lu Zheng to wait outside now. After waiting for about half an hour, Chen Biao came out to lead Lu Zheng and the others in.

After passing through a large hall, he arrived at the warm room. In the warm room, he was cross-legged on the dragon chaise. A middle-aged man wearing a blue Taoist robe and a tall crown and belt. He looked calm, but his eyes were particularly sharp, and he looked very majestic.

Lu Zheng knew in his heart that this person was Emperor Xinde, so he immediately stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed according to the etiquette of Dakang's three kowtows, and said:

"Lu Zheng, Jiangnan, pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!"

Emperor Xinde smiled gently and raised his hand and said, "Premium! A talented man from Jiangnan is well-known. I have read your poems and are very literary. After coming to the capital this time, I have also heard about the affairs between you and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am very brave.

In time, you must be the pillar of my great health, haha..."

"The emperor praised it, and Lu Zheng was frightened. Lu Zheng was eighteen years old this year, and was awarded the seventh-grade Wusha by the emperor's grace. There seems to be no other person among his peers except me.

Lu Zheng swore that he would work diligently and work hard to make a name for himself in Longyou and live up to your trust and expectations!" Lu Zheng said seriously.

This matter actually has nothing to do with Emperor Xinde. Dai Gao did everything, but Lu Zheng deliberately beautified the matter and said that this matter was a holy grace. On the one hand, it was naturally to please the emperor, and on the other hand, it did not forget to give Dai Gao eye medicine. His method was very obscure and not easy to detect. Even Chen Biao, who was standing next to him, did not think there was anything wrong.

Emperor Xinde narrowed his eyes, and then he smiled again, saying, "Okay, it's good to have this sentence! I'm very happy that you can be so ambitious. This time you have a misunderstanding with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I know that you don't worry, this time you go to Longyou not to be exiled, but to hone your skills.

Young people, it is beneficial to temper more. If a person is given a great responsibility, he must first suffer his will and his muscles and bones. Lu Zheng, you are Jie Yuan, and there are more than two years left before the examination.

I have agreed with you for two years. If you can make a name for yourself in Longyou in two years, I will beg you to return to Beijing. Moreover, after the palace examination, I will use you more! OK?"

Lu Zheng quickly paused and said, "Thank you for your grace. I will remember your concern for me and I will not forget it!"

"Haha..." Emperor Xinde was very happy and said happily, "Don't count so many etiquettes, Chen Biao, go and enjoy Lu Zheng's bowl of rice porridge and a bowl of Changsheng Soup, go, go!"

After Xinde finished speaking, he stood up, took a peach wood sword from the wall, and left the door without looking back, and left like that.

Lu Zheng was still about to kneel down and thank him. Chen Biao said, "Brother Zheng, tsk, tskskskskskskskskskskatches! The emperor's grace will reward you with rice porridge and longevity soup. Come with me and take the reward!"

Emperor Xinde liked rice porridge, and Changsheng Soup was made of so-called various immortal medicines. It can remove poison and maintain health and prolong life. Only the ministers who are particularly favored by the emperor can drink Changsheng Soup!

Of course, these two things are indifferent to Lu Zheng, just don’t underestimate this matter. When the emperor sees Lu Zheng’s matter, he needs to write it into his daily life note.

The memorials between Lu Zheng and the emperor, including the last time Lu Zheng received, will be recorded. What’s more important is that Chen Biao participated in the whole process, so he naturally had a way to spread the memorials between Lu Zheng and the emperor, as well as these rewards.

Once it was reported, the nature of Lu Zheng going to Longyou changed completely. Originally, everyone thought that Dai Gao wanted to kill Lu Zheng and sent him to Longyou where he could not shit!

Now, the emperor came forward, encouragement, and the so-called two-year agreement, became the emperor's intention to train Lu Zheng, so that he could take charge of the country at a young age. This is the emperor's special favor to him!

Nowadays, it is not a big deal to be able to get the emperor's special favor. Besides, Lu Lun was promoted. The emperor personally issued an order to go to the Ministry of Revenue. It can be said that the Lu family's status in the capital has been completely reversed. At this moment, who dares to take advantage of the Lu family?

Whether it is the Gu family, the Chen family, or the Zhang family, they all stopped fighting because everyone broke the face of this matter. They wanted to congratulate Lu Lun, but they couldn't. I knew today, why should I be the first one?

In the south of the Yangtze River, Lu Lun sent the story to Jinling through Feige's letter. It is no exaggeration to say that this letter caused a considerable earthquake in the Lu family in Jinling.
