The two had a very pleasant conversation and even felt that they had met too late.
After chatting for a while, Lu Taiyuan asked seriously, "Do you have a close relationship with Liang Qingwu?"
"Why do you say that, Lord Lu?"
Song Chi said, "I'm just a nobody. Even if I pass the provincial examination, I'll only be a Juren. I'm nothing in front of the Great Zhou female commander. How can I have any connection with her?"
"Then why does Liang Qingwu take such good care of you?"
Song Chi said, "Master Lu, you may not know that the Prime Minister went to Ji County to host a homecoming banquet for the female commander. He made things difficult for her and suppressed her. It was I who defeated Song Ming in the martial arts competition and broke the deadlock. That's how I won the female commander's appreciation."
"I see."
Lu Taiyuan said seriously, "You know that His Royal Highness Prince Qing is pursuing a female commander, right?"
"Know."
"I'll take you to see His Royal Highness Prince Qing in a few days. You have to explain everything to His Royal Highness Prince Qing."
Song Chi was slightly stunned, sneering in his heart.
The dignified Prince Zhou was jealous of him. It seems that he is sensitive in this regard.
"Yes, I will definitely keep my distance from the female commander in the future to avoid any misunderstanding from His Royal Highness Prince Qing."
Song Chi's correct attitude made Lu Taiyuan very satisfied.
This young man is talented and has good judgment, he is really good.
Song Chi knew that he and Liang Qingwu would not get close for the time being.
Because he wants to be in power!
Before that, we have to do something "out of the ordinary".
Lu Taiyuan added, "The imperial examination will be held in February next year. With your talent, you will surely win the title of Jinshi. You must be the champion!"
The first place in the imperial examination is called Huiyuan.
"During the imperial examination, I can't let you take shortcuts. I can only guarantee you a fair exam environment. Whether you can win the first place depends on you!"
"I see."
Song Chi said calmly: "I will definitely become the champion!"
Not only will Lu Taiyuan be making an effort, but his scumbag father will also give him the green light, so becoming the champion will naturally be a piece of cake.
"After the joint examination comes the palace examination. If you want to soar to the top, you have to become the number one scholar!"
Lu Taiyuan said in a deep voice: "I want you to write an essay for the palace examination. As long as you write this essay, you will become the top scorer!"
Hearing this.
Song Chi said, "The palace examination is set by His Majesty. Do you know what questions His Majesty will ask?"
"I have served His Majesty for many years, and I know a little bit about His Majesty's will."
Lu Taiyuan stood up.
"Your Majesty wants to attack the Northern Wei. To win the war, you must use some radical means. The recent increase in grain taxes and the issuance of conscription orders have caused some negative voices to emerge."
This is a euphemism, but in reality, public resentment is boiling.
"Some people in the court advised against it, and there were voices of opposition at the local level. In particular, many students and scholars gathered everywhere, causing an anti-war movement."
"It seems that His Majesty has done something wrong, it seems that His Majesty is a tyrant..."
Song Chi didn't say anything.
This is true, Emperor Yuan Jing is simply a tyrant!
"Someone is behind this, plotting evil. They don't want this war to go smoothly!"
Lu Taiyuan said coldly, "Your Highness Prince Qing is the Pacification Commissioner of Youzhou. He will lead the troops into battle. He will have two generals under his command: His Highness Prince Xiang and Liang Qingwu, Marquis of Wu'an!"
"We must win this battle. If His Royal Highness Prince Qing returns victorious, he will be able to secure the crown prince position, and our Qingliu Party will flourish!"
Song Chi asked, "What does Lord Lu want me to do?"
"You took the imperial examination that same year and achieved four consecutive top honors, becoming a role model for many students. If you can write an essay, a levy letter, during the palace examination, to justify His Majesty's war and stabilize the people's hearts, His Majesty will be greatly pleased and will choose you as the top scorer, bringing you great fame!"
