Chapter 261: King Liang's Visit
The emperor personally passed on an oral order, asking Xu Xian to arrive in the capital within a month.
Not to mention Juren, even if you pass the Jinshi, it is impossible for the emperor to pay so much attention. Only after becoming the top scholar can you be qualified to let the emperor arrange his place in person.
However, although this is unexpected, it is reasonable to think about it carefully.
After all, Xu Xian made a lot of noises over and over again. He wrote an article casually and made many ministers in the court argue endlessly, and he was beaten to death. Xu Xian wanted to continue to hide comfortably in Jiangnan and stay out of the matter.
How is that possible?
Fortunately, Xu Xian had already planned to go to the capital to check out next. The one-month period was quite abundant, so it was enough for him to go back to Hangzhou Prefecture and then go to the capital.
But what surprised Xu Xian was that after the emperor gave him the oral order to come to the capital, he did not go to Yingtianfu Academy to report like Fang Zhongyong, but to the Imperial College!
Yingtianfu Academy is the leader of the four major academies of the Dali Dynasty. It can be regarded as a holy place in the minds of scholars all over the world. It is just that it is extremely difficult to enter it. Even most juren cannot go to Yingtianfu Academy to study.
But Yingtianfu Academy is not as good as the Imperial College.
The Imperial College, also known as the Taixue, inherits the function of imparting the highest Confucian institution. The main purpose here is no longer to study, but to specialize in studying Confucian classics and learning about the way of heaven and earth!
If you want to make an analogy, Yingtianfu Academy is equivalent to a top university like Tsinghua and Peking University on the earth in later generations, while Imperial College is the Central Research Institute, specializing in the country's top research activities.
Therefore, even if you can enter the Imperial College, even if you have not been awarded an official position, your status is not lower than that of officials below the fifth rank of the court!
The court sometimes promulgated new laws and policies, which are often completed in the Imperial College.
The Imperial College is affiliated with the Ministry of Rites. The word "陈" represents the meaning of "陈" which has a certain degree of function of supervising the state, which can impeach officials and national affairs!
He entered the Imperial College as a Juren, and the Dali Dynasty has not exceeded the number of one hand for hundreds of years.
From this we can see how much Xu Xian has been valued even though he has not yet entered Beijing.
"Students receive the order!"
Xu Xian received the oral order.
"Haha, please get Hanwen quickly." Zhao Ji said with a smile. "Now that the business is done, let's go to have a meal. The Prime Minister Chen invited the best chef and dim sum chef in Suzhou City. He said he wanted to treat you and me well."
Chen Lun smiled apologized and said, "I dare not say what kind of delicacies it is, but they are all the most distinctive dishes and dim sum in Suzhou City, and the taste is excellent."
"Then let's go." Zhao Ji did not act like a prince at all, and walked side by side with Xu Xian, which was very easy-to-go.
Of course, this is only for Xu Xian.
He knew what Xu Xian represented and how great it was. This time he went to Suzhou Prefecture specifically to win over Xu Xian.
On weekdays, Zhao Ji has a bad temper, but he is extremely arrogant. Ordinary people cannot catch his eye. Just like Chen Lun, as the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, he is also a big official, and he can only follow Zhao Ji and dare not overcome the rules at all.
When they arrived at the backyard of the government office, Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing and Cui Younan also came together and prepared to start the banquet.
But suddenly a loud noise outside the yard sounded loudly: "Prince Liang is here to visit!"
Wow!
When Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen heard this voice, their eyes were shaking. Why did Prince Liang come?
Xu Xian looked at Chen Lun, but saw that Chen Lun had no less shock than him, and he also looked like he didn't know how he would come.
Since the autumn examination, Xu Xian used the talent of a saint who was a strange phenomenon from the sky to crush the conspiracy of Prince Liang to frame him for cheating. Neither Chen Lun nor Xu Xian had any connection with Prince Liang's Mansion. The Prince Liang's Mansion also knew that the current climate of Xu Xian had become and was on the verge of the storm, so he did not provoke him again.
Who would have thought that today, King Duan Zhao Ji came to Suzhou to issue an imperial edict, but Prince Liang suddenly visited him?
At this time, Zhao Ji smiled slightly, opened his mouth to solve the mystery, and said, "Don't be surprised, Master Liang invited him. Master Liang was in the capital, and he watched me grow up, and to me, he was like a teacher and elder. This time I came to Suzhou, so I naturally had to invite him."
King Duan invited him?
Xu Xian frowned slightly. Naturally, he would not be naive to King Duan's move had no profound meaning. He was really just asking his elders to come over and talk about it as he said.
If he was really just out of politeness, he could have found some time to visit Prince Liang's Mansion. Why should he let Prince Liang come to the Mansion?
This is clearly the drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to come for him!
Xu Xian glanced at Zhao Ji thoughtfully.
He had a good impression of Zhao Ji just now, thinking that this should be a prince who was not too scheming and was addicted to calligraphy and painting. Now it seems that he is thinking a little simple.
If you can stand out among the many princes and be loved by the emperor, how can you be a white lotus?
Zhao Ji did not respond to Xu Xian's eyes, and he quickly stood up and welcomed the person in.
It was not just Taishi Liang who came, but a young man was following him, his only son Liang Lian.
Prince Liang was old, his hair and beard were gray, but his complexion was very good. He had a smile on his face. When he saw Xu Xianxiu, he did not show any abnormality. However, Liang Lian's face was gloomy and his eyes were floating. Although he wanted to squeeze out a smile like his father, it was even worse than crying.
Obviously, Prince Liang was so cunning that when he saw that Empress Xu was able to calm down and pretend that nothing had happened, Liang Lian did not have the skill of nourishing Qi.
When Xu Xian was disguised as a slap in Songhe Tower, he lost face. He vowed to let Xu Xian live but not die. Now the result is completely the opposite. He has no way to deal with Xu Xian!
After sitting down, Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Tao Shi, let me introduce you to you. This is Xu Hanwen, the number one talent in Jiangnan. It is also Jie Yuan of the Suzhou Prefecture Provincial Examination!"
Master Liang opened his eyes wide when he heard this, and looked at Xu Xian with praise and amazement. He praised: "Although I am old and never leave my house on weekdays, I am well-known in the three words Xu Hanwen, and I have heard of it for a long time! It is better to see it at first sight. I am worthy of being a famous talent in the world. It is indeed a handsome talent! Having such a rising star is really a blessing for my Dali Dynasty!"
"Hehe." Xu Xian smiled without saying a word.
If he hadn't known who this Prince Liang was, and had learned from Chen Lun about the plan to frame this person, he might have thought that this was an old man who was kind-hearted and kind-hearted.
He wanted to see what this veteran of the three dynasties sold in the gourd when he came here today.
