The next day, Lu Changsheng prepared some gifts and went to the Xu Mansion to meet the Lord Xu Yuan.
Although the success this time was achieved by taking advantage of the general trend, it was ultimately Xu Yuan and other ambitious people who took action.
He should accept this sentiment to some extent.
"I didn't expect that Heishan Mansion could also produce a Jinko Jieyuan!"
Xu Yuan is nearly middle-aged, with a burly figure and a determined gaze. At first glance, he is not the kind of person with a changeable mind.
"Perhaps this is what is called 'righteousness and awe-inspiring'!"
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
Some people don't look bad at first glance, and Xu Yuan is like that.
Of course, Lu Changsheng would not completely judge a person by knowing his face but not his heart.
"Heishan Mansion is full of talented people——" Lu Changsheng replied cautiously.
Xu Yuan waved his hand and said: "I have been in Heishan Mansion for nearly twenty years, so I know how many talents there are!"
Lu Changsheng smiled and took back his unfinished words.
"Longevity is just a fluke."
"This is not a fluke!" Xu Yuan shook his head and said: "Ever since Emperor Jingwen ascended to immortality, the officialdom of each government has been eroded. After five years of the Five Emperors' War, the officialdom of each government has gradually eroded... "
Lu Changsheng's heart moved slightly, and he was attracted by the words 'elevating to immortality'.
The death of the emperor in this world is not described as 'collapse', but as 'emerging into immortality'.
Even some nobles also use "death" to replace death.
If it were a previous life, the most I could say is: I’m crazy if I want to live forever!
But in this life, with golden fingers around me, I am much more sensitive to these words.
"It's true that a talented person like you has no faults, but it's easy to pass a child's life, but it's hard to lift someone up!"
Xu Yuan sighed.
To be able to become the leader of a government, it is naturally impossible for there to be no one in the court. Some ministers of the Great Yuan Dynasty also worked hard for this.
Unfortunately, people's hearts are fickle. It's hard to be a good person but easy to be a bad person.
Many highly promoted intellectuals only need to relax a little before they fall into decay.
Over time, even they no longer struggled with absolute justice, but instead assessed the situation, weighed gains and losses, and even allowed their subordinates to take advantage of the people.
This is why he did not intervene in the imperial examination at first.
The word "struggle" is written all over the list of candidates for the examination.
Therefore, it is extremely rare for Lu Changsheng to be able to break out of such a scene.
"With your talent, you only need a little help from someone, and you can skyrocket to the top and be on par with all the nobles!"
Not far away, the expressions of several internal officials changed slightly, and they were shocked by Xu Yuan's evaluation.
You must know that those who can be called public are all capable ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, with amazing talents, and they have contributed to the great Yuan Dynasty.
To be ranked alongside the other princes, that is definitely the highest praise.
Lu Changsheng said hurriedly, "I don't dare." Although the students have some knowledge, their other practices are not shallow and they should work hard to improve.
Xu Yuan nodded secretly in his heart.
Neither arrogant nor impetuous, he is indeed a talent worth cultivating. However, like those noble men, he did not express anything clearly.
If a person is not famous and has the qualifications to be the top scholar, he will not summon him alone.
Everything still depends on the future Jinshi examination.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Lu Changsheng had stopped taking the imperial examination.
Officialdom consumes too much energy, and his current identity as Jieyuan makes him feel like he is constantly on the go.
"Time to cool down!"
He thought to himself.
Half a day later, Lu Changsheng said goodbye and left. However, just when he stepped out of the gate of Xu Mansion, suddenly, an astonishing fragrance hit his nostrils, and he felt dizzy in his mind. However, as the energy and blood in his body turned, he suddenly woke up. come over.
Plop, plop!
Turning around, he saw several internal officials lying on the ground not far away.
"It's a scam!"
Lu Changsheng was wary, and when he saw that Xu Yuan who sent him out looked a little strange, he realized that this might just be an accident.
"You go back first!" Xu Yuan said nothing, turned around and walked back in a hurry. Looking at his footsteps, he seemed to have lost his sense of squareness.
Lu Changsheng took a few steps back and looked inside again. There seemed to be a vague shadow of white smoke slowly dissipating deep in the Xu Mansion.
"The plume of smoke is soaring into the sky. Look at that direction. It's at least a thousand meters away from here. It almost made me dizzy and fell to the ground. What happened inside?"
He took a look inside Xu Mansion.
As if they had received the order, many guards rushed over from all directions and helped away the fallen officials. After a while, the gate of Xu Mansion slowly closed.
Although Lu Changsheng was curious, he also knew that this was a secret that he could not access at the moment.
But looking at Xu Yuan's absent-minded look, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary thing.
"The smoke column is fragrant, the qi and blood are strong, and it has the power to resist. This martial arts can almost be put on the agenda!"
I thought to myself, turned around and walked away in a hurry.
On the other side, Xu Yuan led a group of guards to a courtyard deep in Xu Mansion.
Looking at the many nurses and maids lying on the ground around him, he frowned.
"Father!"
At this time, a crisp voice came.
Xu Yuan's expression softened slightly, but he still kept a straight face and scolded: "What are you doing here? Go back quickly!"
But he was worried about the safety of his daughter Xu Zhuqing.
"Such a big thing happened here, how could I stand aside and watch? Besides, it's my father who should leave. Your energy and blood are not strong enough to resist the too strong fragrance of worshiping the immortal!"
Xu Zhuqing was not annoyed at all and said calmly.
Xu Yuan wanted to say something else, but the closed courtyard door suddenly opened, filled with smoke, accompanied by a sudden cough.
"It's okay, just a little problem!"
An old voice came from inside.
After a while, all the smoke began to dissipate, revealing a slender figure. From that appearance, he looked like he had a good look.
"teacher!"
Xu Zhuqing hurriedly rushed over with quick movements. However, when he approached the door, he was blocked by a wall of air.
"The scent of worshiping immortals in the courtyard is still there, please wait a little longer."
"The matter of seeking immortality——" Xu Zhuqing opened his mouth.
The Taoist nun in front of her is her teacher. Her martial arts strength has reached the realm of true qi transformation. Since more than ten years ago, she has been concentrating on seeking immortality. She found two foreign objects, namely the incense of worship and the spring of immortal music. She ignited it with true qi, and obtained It's a pity that a true immortal fell short of success!
The Taoist nun shook her head, her eyes were a little red, and said: "Look again, look again..."
Xu Zhuqing fell silent immediately.
There was already a hint of exhaustion in the tone of this magnificent teacher.
"Teacher, are there really immortals in this world?" Xu Zhuqing asked, she couldn't bear to see her teacher become like this.
"Yes!" the Taoist nun said with great determination, "It's just that we didn't find the right way!"
······
"Lu Jieyuan!"
As soon as Lu Changsheng returned to the courtyard, he saw several people standing in front of the courtyard without entering.
One of them was carrying a small bundle of thorns.
Asking for forgiveness?
Lu Changsheng had a strange look on his face and nodded towards Lin Xiaowen.
"Master Lin, this is-"
"Mr. Chen was offended by many of the things that happened before, and our supervision was incompetent, which made Lu Jieyuan miserable!"
The heads of other large families bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.
"It did bring me a lot of trouble!" Lu Changsheng didn't hide it.
With his current status, he could make these people suffer big losses with just a little effort.
Of course, if you want to clean everything up, it's probably not possible at the moment.
Ever since the No. 1 Scholar went upstairs yesterday, he knew that the big people who could get along were not as simple as they appeared on the surface. They were basically inextricably linked to some higher-level nobles behind the scenes.
"What do you think of this?"
Lin Xiaowen told the compensation, and after listening to it, Lu Changsheng was a little surprised.
Not that there was anything wrong with it, but that the compensation exceeded my deepest expectations.
