Chapter 507: The Emperor's Anomaly
Although Xiao Zhang didn't know where Xuanyuan Du came from, he seemed to believe him instinctively, and thought that in the soul capital in the future, it should be indispensable to deal with these two people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This kind of "instinctive belief" suddenly gave Xiao Zhang goosebumps.
How could this be? How could he trust a person he met so easily? Moreover, this person is still so strange, he does not know where he came from, and the most terrifying thing is that this person seems to know everything about himself.
However, it is unavoidable that Xiao Zhang does believe from the bottom of his heart that Xuanyuan is right, his biggest opponent in the future, in addition to the crown prince, is the imperial prime minister and the imperial general.
After about an hour, I finally heard the voice of a ******** eunuch singing: "Your Majesty has arrived—"
The courtiers, who were already a little drowsy, suddenly felt agitated and began to arrange their clothes in a panic, and some even took out handkerchiefs to wipe the saliva from the corners of their mouths.
With the long voice of the chief eunuch, His Majesty the current emperor, Zhao Feng, slowly walked up to the side of the dragon chair and sat down steadily, the distance between the armrests on both sides of the wide dragon chair was a little far, but he still tried his best to spread his arms and support the armrests.
His Majesty the Emperor looks like a middle-aged man, although there are some vicissitudes left by the years on his face, but the texture has not been carved by time, but the hair exposed under the crown is already more white and less black.
Even, when His Majesty the Emperor stepped onto the dragon chair, his steps were a little vain and unsteady, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a slight stumble.
Xiao Zhang looked at the first person in the empire with some surprise, and he couldn't imagine that the emperor would be such a drooping face.
In Lu Lanxiang's mouth, although His Majesty the Emperor is already a hundred years old, due to his advanced cultivation, he still maintains a sturdy middle-aged appearance of forty or fifty years old, but the emperor in front of him at this moment is far from what Lu Lanxiang said.
Although he looked a little old and haggard, His Majesty the Emperor was in very good spirits, with a warm smile, majestic but affinity, casual but controlling.
But as long as you are a more attentive person, you can see that His Majesty the Emperor's good spirit should be pretended to be for everyone to see.
Sure enough, not only Xiao Zhang, but also the civil and military ministers in the hall also saw that something was wrong with the emperor, and they all showed worries and discussed in low voices.
In this situation, Xiao Zhang, who had a keen mind, suddenly judged that something must have happened to His Majesty the Emperor, and to make the emperor, who had experienced countless winds and waves, so haggard, presumably that matter was definitely not a trivial matter.
Prime Minister Huang Guozhong couldn't help but go out of work, bowed to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty's complexion is a little gloomy today, I don't know if you are sick?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then asked the ministers with a smile: "Is my complexion so ugly?"
The ministers were suddenly a little embarrassed, looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't know what to say.
The emperor obviously refused to admit that his complexion was not good, and since this was the case, of course he didn't dare to say more as a courtier, otherwise he would have the intention of cursing the emperor.
However, Huang Guozhong, as the prime minister, obviously has more power to speak than other ministers, he was not tactful, and continued directly: "Although today's ceremony is important, it is not as important as Your Majesty's dragon body. ”
The emperor frowned, and said impatiently: "Today's ceremony was proposed by me, if I escaped halfway, then what is the face of my Dayan Empire? ”
Huang Guozhong still wanted to say something, but he was blocked by the emperor's eyes, so he had to sigh lightly and retreat to the court.
However, the ministers still couldn't get rid of their worries, and they couldn't help but want to stand up and say a few words, but they didn't have the courage of Huang Guozhong at all.
The emperor was a little displeased, and said in a deep voice with a frown: "What? You don't believe it? Do you think that I have been drinking all night?"
Hearing this, the ministers were immediately shocked, and hurriedly said in unison: "The ministers don't dare!"
The emperor snorted and waved his hand to Wei Zhong, the chief eunuch behind him, who immediately stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has finished his retreat and cultivation today, because it is a critical juncture in cultivation, so it has delayed some time, please forgive me." ”
When all the words were said and done, the ministers had nothing to say, so they all knelt down and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live—"
His Majesty the Emperor nodded slightly, and said, "Everyone Aiqing is flat." ”
"Long live Xie—"
The emperor's gloomy face finally eased a little, and his majestic gaze swept over the ministers, and finally his gaze fell on Xiao Zhang and Xuanyuan at the end of the court.
"These two must be the elite representatives of the Heavenly Soul Sect and the Xuanyuan Sect, right?" the emperor asked.
Hearing the emperor's question, Xuanyuan decided to immediately go out of class, stood in the center of the main hall, and then knelt down and bowed, saying: "Xuanyuan Sect's chief disciple Xuanyuan decided to see Your Majesty!"
The emperor nodded and smiled: "Well, it's really a talent, let's be even." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xuanyuan decided
However, then, the hall fell into a deathly silence, because Xiao Zhang, the elite representative of the Heavenly Soul Sect, did not go out to respond to the emperor's question, but still stood firmly in the court.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly dropped to the freezing point, and it seemed that a layer of frost had condensed on the faces of all the ministers, but only Xiao Zhang's face did not change color and his heart did not beat.
Xuanyuan was also embarrassed, he didn't expect Xiao Zhang to be so ignorant of etiquette, and turned around and muttered desperately at Xiao Zhang, which meant that Xiao Zhang quickly stood up to respond to the emperor's question.
Xiao Zhang hadn't watched this kind of court TV series in his previous life, and of course he knew what to do according to the etiquette, but he just didn't like this kind of behavior of bending his knees to worship the emperor, so he stood and refused to come out.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Due's face was about to turn into a chrysanthemum, he realized that he seemed to be a little too bold to do so, so he walked out of the court in front of Xuanyuan Due's face, faced the emperor, and stood beside Xuanyuan Due.
Xuanyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, he fell into the bottomless abyss again......
I saw that Xiao Zhang did not bow to the emperor according to the number of courtesies, but only bowed to the emperor and said: "Xiao Zhang, the deputy head of the Lower Heavenly Soul Sect, Your Majesty the Emperor, has been admired for a long time." ”
