"As long as you agree, I will grant you special permission to enter the court as an official!”
Li Shi Min said seriously.
The ministers around him were not surprised at all. They were not surprised that Li Shiming would suddenly recruit Lu Yan.
It would be shocking if he didn't recruit such a genius.
"What do you think?"
Li Shimin looked at Lu Yan.
As soon as this sentence came out. It was already a foregone conclusion. No one would judge Lu Yan for cheating in the imperial examination.
Even if there were witnesses and evidence, Lu Yan used his own strength to prove to everyone that he did not need to cheat.
With his talent in poetry and articles, it was about the management of floods.
There was nothing wrong with being the top scorer this time.
Why did he need to rely on such vile methods to help him?
Since the Emperor had personally spoken, the head examiner did not dare to say anything.
Hearing Li Shiming's words, Lu Yan's heart was completely relieved.
From the start, he was faced with a death situation. Until now.
Less than an hour passed.
If he took a wrong step, it would mean that his life was in danger.
But now, not only did he save his own life, but he also completed the system's selection.
Both can be obtained.
This was the best result that Lu Yan could see.
Although they were happy, they did not show it. Although they had survived the disaster by luck, everyone present was like an old fox.
The slightest carelessness could easily be seen through.
He still couldn't let his guard down!
Lu Yan bowed slightly." Your Majesty, I have already expressed my thoughts in the article just now."”
Li Shi Min narrowed his eyes. He had a deep impression of the article. How could he forget it?
When you live in the high temple, you worry about the people. When you live far away, you worry about the monarch.
When he entered the court as an official, he worried about the people.
When he resigned from office, he was worried about the king.
Although Lu Yan did not agree directly, these two sentences had already expressed his thoughts.
"That's right, this one did something unnecessary.”
"Since that's the case, Lu Yan, come forward and listen to the enfeoffment."”
"This commoner is here."
Li Shi Min had his hands behind his back and his face was solemn. He was not even thirty years old yet, but he looked extremely dignified under the dragon robe.
The temperament of an emperor suddenly appeared.
When he faced Lu Yan, his attitude was friendly, but it could not change the fact that he was the ruler who controlled the world and commanded the four directions.
"I'll confer you the title of Minister of Water Supervision! In addition, he was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and a thousand bolts of silk!”
Li Shi Min pondered for a moment and said.
The officials present. However, he was shocked and astonished.
He didn't expect that Li Shi Min would receive such a great reward.
All Water Supervisor.
This department was under the Ministry of Works.
In charge of rivers and canals, Jinliang, dikes and other affairs.
His words about dealing with the flood had been approved by Li Shiming, so it was not surprising that he was given such an official position.
However, the Water Supervisor was a rank 6 official.
How old was Lu Yan? Many old officials in the court had spent their entire lives but had never been able to stand in this position.
But he did it.
Although the Sixth Grade was not considered high, it was just a small official in Chang 'an.
But this was Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Empire.
Throughout history, the officials in the imperial capital were a level higher than the local officials. They were the third rank officials in front of the prime minister.
The most important thing was that the capital water supervisor was rich.
Countless officials wanted to enter, but Lu Yan beat them to it.
The way everyone looked at Lu Yan had changed.
He was already a rank 6 official at the age of 15 or 16. His future was limitless. With his talent and Li Shimin's appreciation, he believed that it wouldn't be long before he could soar to the sky and become a true powerful official.
The head examiner's expression also changed.
He had been in office since the Sui Dynasty and was an old official of two dynasties.
He had relied on the imperial examinations to reach his current level.
However, he was just a small official in the Ministry of Rites. Otherwise, he would not have come to preside over the imperial examination.
He would only be a sixth-rank official for the rest of his life.
Now, Lu Yan was about to be on equal footing with him, especially at his age. In the near future, he would have to look up to him.
He definitely could not offend this youth.
Thinking of what he had done before, he wanted to say something to ease the tension, but he couldn't pull his face down.
His face turned green for a while, and he was extremely conflicted.
Lu Yan did not know much about official positions, but after searching through his memories for a moment, he understood.
However, he didn't care about this.
It was just to get the system's reward.
It didn't matter what rank he was.
Just as he was about to bow and thank Li Shi Min for the reward, the system's voice sounded in his mind again.
"Selection complete. The host has received a reward: Lu Bu's Courage. Do you want to receive the reward immediately?”
Lu Yan thought for a moment and finally muttered in his heart,"I won't receive it for the time being."
The system was his biggest secret.
He couldn't tell anyone.
Now that there were so many people, it was better to be careful.
He was not in a hurry to receive the reward when he was alone. It would not affect anything for a while.
As soon as he finished speaking, the system's voice sounded again.
"Ding! Detected that the host has been appreciated by Li Shiming and has been conferred an official position. Please make a choice!”
" 1. Accept the reward and take office immediately. [Reward: 1000 gold taels.]
" 2. Refuse the reward and leave on the spot to live in the mountains. [Reward: Title of Qingfeng Proud Bone]
" 3. Refuse the reward and seek a higher official position. [Reward: Master-level calligraphy.]
“.............”
Lu Yan was pleasantly surprised. He did not expect the second option to come so soon.
This was a great thing for him.
The system's reward. No matter what it was, it would greatly increase his strength.
If one wanted to establish themselves in the Great Tang, it wasn't just the memories of their past lives that were enough.
If he relied on his weak body alone, it would be a problem for him to protect himself. The officialdom was like a battlefield, but it was even crueler than a battlefield. Undercurrents surged.
It was far from enough to just have an appearance.
Looking at the options, the third option was impossible, so he could only choose between the first and second options.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yan's eyes gradually became firm.
He sighed and bowed to Li Shiming,"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then, he shook his head.
Also, the author is currently facing a difficult problem. Every day, he has to look in the mirror and portray the handsome main character. However, it is still a little difficult. I wonder if my brothers can describe their looks and post them in the book review section so that I can learn from them.
