Gold medal!
It was also known as the Golden Medal of Phoenix Feather.
It was a gold medal awarded by Phoenix Feather to meritorious officials or ministers who were appreciated by the emperor.
Because of the different types of gold medals, their functions were also different. Some of the honorary gold medals given to meritorious officials only represented honor and had no actual effect.
The gold medal that the Great Gan had given to He Kun was a hundred times more precious than those honorary gold medals.
He could travel through the entire Imperial Capital without any hindrance. This was a power that many second-rank officials and even first-rank officials did not have.
But now, it had been obtained by a commoner, an ordinary scholar who had no official position or title, only a merit.
If this were to spread, it would probably shock the entire court.
Ever since the founding of Phoenix Feather, only one third-grade official who was highly regarded by Kangxi had been awarded such a gold medal. However, it was quickly taken back.
Soon, Wu Shulai brought the gold medal over.
It was a palm-sized, golden token with the words " Imperial Blessing of Phoenix Feathers " engraved on it. It was surrounded by the image of a five-clawed cloud dragon.
Seeing Wu Shulai bestow the gold medal to He Kun, Da Qian smiled and said,""In the future, if you want to enter the palace to see me, you can directly take this token and find a book in the palace. He will bring you to see me.”
Although this gold medal was a pass gold medal and could allow one to pass through the palace without any obstructions, it could only allow one to pass through the outermost layer of the palace guarded by the royal guards.
After all, if he could travel freely in the entire palace with just a gold medal, it would cause a huge hidden danger for the emperor's safety.
However, even if they could only pass through the imperial guards guarding the outermost perimeter of the Imperial City, this imperial pass was still something many people dreamed of.
This was because obtaining this pass meant that this person was highly appreciated and favored by the Emperor. With this pass, he could do whatever he wanted in the Imperial Capital. No one dared to offend any minor officials.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
He Kun put away the gold medal and cupped his hands.
"Oh right, remember to review your lessons when you go back. I am looking forward to your performance in the court examinations. Don't fail halfway through the examination.”Da Qian continued.
He Kun nodded." Please rest assured, Your Majesty. After the exam, I have been revising my lessons. I believe that I will not disappoint Your Majesty."
He had a photographic memory, so he memorized all the books he had read during this period of time.
In the end, He Kun decided to leave.
He bade farewell to Da Qian and Wu Shulai sent He Kun out of the Imperial City…
On this day, He Kun was borrowing books from Cao Rui's room. Cao Rui had bought a few history books from the bookstore when Cao Rui suddenly rushed back from outside. He rushed into the room and said excitedly,"Brother He, you're famous again.”
"How did I become famous again?"
He Kun, who had been staying in his room for the past two days and hadn't gone out at all, looked at He Kun, who had run back excitedly, and asked in confusion.
"Shi! Poetry! The three poems you wrote in the exam were announced by the Ministry of Rites. Everyone in the capital is talking about your three ancient poems.”
"'Farewell to the Ancient Grass,''Ci of the Northern Mo', and' Pleasant Rain on a Spring Night.'These are three famous poems that can be famous for thousands of years, especially that' Ci of the Northern Mo'. It was hailed by the scholars of the imperial capital as the number one battlefield poem for thousands of years. Many people outside are saying that you are the reincarnation of a poetic immortal.”
Cao Rui said excitedly.
"What's there to be happy about?"
He Kun smiled bitterly.
Others might not know, but he knew very well that his poems were plagiarized from others. Therefore, calling him an immortal poet was definitely flattering him.
He had inherited He Kun's original memories. Although he could barely be considered a literary talent, there was still a huge gap between him and the true immortal poets and saint poets of his previous life, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi.
He just had to make these ancient poems to act pretentious. There was no need to take them seriously.
As for poetry, it was just to increase everyone's interest. There was no need to treat it as too important.
In his previous life, Du Fu was known as the Sage of Poets, and most of the ancient poems he wrote were famous for thousands of years. However, his career did not develop smoothly, and he ended up in a miserable old age, with Jiang Zhou passing away.
Seeing He Kun so calm, Cao Rui, who was originally happy for He Kun, suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.
He Kun was still so calm despite encountering such a happy event. He really didn't know what could move He Kun.
"If I were to encounter such a thing, I would have burst into laughter.”
Cao Rui muttered.
He Kun just smiled and didn't say anything.
Regardless of He Kun's reaction, the news had already spread throughout the Imperial Capital.
Almost the entire imperial capital was discussing the three famous poems He Kun had written in the exam, especially the "Mobei Ci", which was praised by many scholars as the first frontier fortress poem since ancient times.
Among them were many famous scholars, scholars, and even officials in the imperial court who were also influential in the scholarly world.
Hence, He Kun was completely enraged.
In the beginning, his reputation as a scholar was only spread in a small area. However, after this incident, He Kun's reputation as a scholar had truly spread throughout the capital.
With the capital as the center, it spread to the other provinces of Phoenix Feather at an extremely fast speed.
Then, there was news that not only did the people in the intellectual circle think that He Kun's "Mobei Ci" was well done, but it was also said that even the underworld and green forest figures entrenched in Taihu Lake, the nine gangs and twelve villages, also said that He Kun's "Mobei Ci" was good.
It was even rumored that the leader of the underworld of the nine gangs and twelve villages of Taihu Lake, Yao Feiying, a martial arts scholar, wanted to find someone who was good at calligraphy to write this " Mobei Ci " and hang it in the middle of the Tiger Hall where he was the head of the ladle.
Rumor had it that Yao Feiying wanted to use 100,000 taels of silver to hire He Kun as his military advisor.
However, the leader of the underworld of the Nine Gangs and Twelve Stockades was, to put it bluntly, the leader of the underworld.
How could He Kun give up the promising imperial examination and become a military advisor for a mafia boss?
Therefore, He Kun ignored Yao Feiying's words.# Date:09 30 2019 6:29PM
