Shangguan Tian sat on the throne of the commander of the Praetorian Guard without much effort, he himself was naturally proud, the so-called pride was by no means greedy for vanity, but he knew the importance of this position for King Fu's future actions, the Praetorian Guard was in his own hands, which was equivalent to putting the emperor's safety lifeline in the hands of King Fu, no matter what means he took to enter the palace in the future, the throne opened a channel for it in advance. Great literature

The emperor chose to summon the new commander of the Praetorian Guard in Linchun Pavilion, although this official is only a five-rank and is not within the scope of the emperor's summoning at all, but after all, this is related to the safety of the emperor and the entire palace and must not be underestimated, so the emperor personally summoned him, he knew that the sky was the henchman of the blessed king, but the emperor still wanted to give the other party a grace and power. Its purpose is to make the sky turn against the water and throw it under his emperor's door.

Shangguan Tianjue was taken to the Linchun Pavilion by the eunuchs, and at this time, the emperor was sitting by the window with his eyes closed, Concubine Ruan Rumian was accompanying him, and dozens of palace maids and eunuchs were standing with their heads bowed on the side.

"Your Majesty, the Shangguan guards are here." The eunuch cautiously reported, and the emperor slowly opened his eyes when he heard this, sat up straight, and his expression immediately regained his exclusive majesty, "Xuan." After a while, Shangguan Tianjue slowly came to the front of the emperor with big strides, "Subordinate Shangguan Tianjue see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." Tianjue's voice was not high but it was hard, the emperor carefully looked at the person kneeling in front of him, dressed in blue, with a toned body, a cold face, a murderous aura between his eyebrows, and the arrogance of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, although the emperor and Tianjue were not the first time they met, the distance between them had not been so close.

The emperor looked at the sky for a long time before he took his gaze back, and said with majesty; "Shangguan Aiqing, let's be flat." "Your Majesty." Tianjue hurriedly got up and stood up, he stood in front of the emperor and looked more handsome and upright, the emperor's eyes fell on Tianjue from time to time, but Tianjue always maintained the initial calmness and indifference, standing in place without squinting and waiting for the emperor's instructions.

Concubine Ruan Rumian trembled slightly every time she saw Shangguan Tianjue's heart, she knew that her life was in his hands, and she was selected to accompany the emperor to accompany him, which was to make an internal response to King Fu, and she had to follow the instructions conveyed by the eunuch, even if she wanted to kill the emperor one day, she had to do so, because the lives of her family were all in the hands of Shangguan Tianjue, although Ruan Rumian was in Qinglou, she also had a lot of relatives and friends, and after Tianjue, she chose it in order to make her obedient and serious. Therefore, all Ruan Rumian's family members were detained in the Fire Dragon Gang, and promised that Rumian would release his family after it was no longer useful, so although Rumian was favored by the emperor, he was also worried about his life. Da Wenxue faced Shangguan Tianjue, who was scorching at this moment, Rumian put away his swagger in front of the emperor and stood obediently behind the emperor.

Seeing that Shangguan Tianjue had always stood in front of him with a stern face, and was indifferent to all kinds of things around him, the emperor seemed to understand why he could be regarded by Murong Yichuan as a confidant, and there were indeed some similarities between their masters and servants in a certain way, the emperor knew that Tianjue was a gentleman, but he didn't believe that he could withstand the temptation, so he rolled his eyes and thought about it. "I have long heard that Shangguan Guard's martial arts are outstanding, what I say is false, seeing is believing, I want to see how Shangguan Aiqing's martial arts are." The emperor looked at the heavens with a complicated look in his eyes.

Of course, Tianjue understood what the emperor meant, and he was busy; "I don't know if the emperor wants to see his subordinates' fists and feet, or sword skills, or swordsmanship." At this time, Tianjue Wow Nuan did not have the slightest modesty, and the delicate face was written with that exclusive arrogance.

The emperor was not angry when he saw that the sky was so arrogant, but he became interested, "Then I will look at Shangguan Aiqing's knife technique, I have heard that Aiqing has made a good knife technique." ”

"The subordinates obey the order, but this place is too narrow, and the subordinates dare to beg the emperor to move." Tianjue's eyebrows were slightly raised, with a domineering look in his chest.

The emperor said briskly; "That's good." In this way, everyone hugged the emperor and walked down the Linchun Pavilion, and came directly to the imperial garden, the emperor and Ruan Rumian came to the pavilion on Kunming Lake together, and Shangguan Tianjue was on a spacious open space on the other side of the lake, at this time his coat flashed off, and inside was a short placket, a small dress, the belt was tightened, and he was tied with a tie, holding the Jiufeng Chaoyang knife in his hand, standing in the middle of the open space with a straight face, waiting for the emperor to give an order.

The emperor subconsciously glanced around, his eyes fell on Tianjue not far away, and personally delivered the decree, "If Shangguan Aiqing is ready, then let's start." ”

"The subordinates obeyed. As soon as the words of the great literature fell, the nine phoenix sunrise knife in his hand waved, first of all, an autumn wind swept the leaves, and the body changed in different directions with the change of the treasure knife in his hand, and the treasure knife was impenetrable to the wind and rain of the dance between the flashes and movements, a treasure knife was waved, and the different moves were unpredictable, only to see that the nine phoenix sunrise knife was sometimes shaped like the sky red and the sun was dazzling and grinding, and sometimes it was like many red phoenixes flying wantonly, gathering and scattering, making people unpredictable, the blade shimmered, The person who wielded the knife was deeply surrounded by this dense blade, and around it was a cold mist, but it was murderous, so that people could only watch from a distance and not get close.

The emperor and Concubine Li and all the eunuchs and palace maids were stunned, whether it was the emperor or the eunuchs, they had never seen such a wonderful martial arts performance, look at the Tianjue at this time to think about some of the so-called martial arts performances they saw in the past are simply worlds apart, so the emperor can't help but give a thumbs up for Tianjue.

After about a stick of incense, Tianjue's body landed lightly in mid-air, and the sword that was waved with it was also put away, and the cold blades around him also slowly retreated, and the Tianjue Treasure Knife was put away, and he bowed his hand slightly to the emperor, "The emperor's subordinates are ugly." Although it took a lot of physical effort, at this time, Tianjue still did not grow his qi and his face did not change.

The emperor slowly stood up from his chair, gave a slight thumbs up to Tianjue, and praised sincerely; "Shangguan Aiqing's sword skills are really the best in the world, this is the most enjoyable martial arts performance I have seen in my life, I finally understand Ximen Aiqing's good intentions in recommending Aiqing to be the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and this Praetorian Guard commander Aiqing deserves it."

In the face of the emperor's praise, Tianjue just calmly said to it, "The emperor praised it falsely, and his subordinates were ashamed." He doesn't need the emperor's so-called praise at all, his heart is full of resentment and disgust for the emperor who has a beast's heart on the throne, it is he who has blasphemed the most perfect woman in his heart, and he is bent on putting his master and death, so he is very him, but no matter what he thinks in his heart, at least he must remain calm for now, and he must not let the other party see his flaws.

Seeing that Shangguan Tianjue was so modest, the emperor was doubly impressed in his heart, "Shangguan Aiqing Pavilion will talk about it." ”

In the face of the emperor's hospitality, Tian could not refuse, pretending to be flattered, "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Tianjue walked slowly up to Kunming Lake, and came to the pavilion on the left along the single-plank bridge, where a large bottle of wine and a wine glass had been placed on the table in front of the emperor.

"Heaven makes me very satisfied with your appearance, so I give you three glasses of imperial wine." The Emperor glanced at the wine bottle in front of him, and then his gaze fell on the heavens again.

Tianjue hurriedly knelt on the ground, "My subordinates thank the emperor for his kindness." ”

The emperor laughed and said in a long voice; "Let's be flat."

As soon as Tianjue stood up, a tall and well-dressed woman came to Tianjue with a glass of wine, lightly touched a thousand blessings, and then raised her hands above her head, "The slave family is waiting for the Shangguan guards to drink the first cup." The woman's warbler Yanyan was very disgusted by the heavens, but it was too obvious that she was not good in front of the emperor, so she took the wine glass from the woman's hand with a straight face, and then drank it all.

The emperor saw that Shangguan Tian definitely gave him wine, but he didn't even look at it, thinking that he was disgusted with the woman's poor appearance, so the second woman rushed up, "The slave family is waiting for Shangguan to guard the second cup." This girl is dressed up more glamorously than the first one, and her gestures are even more **, but Tianjue still took the woman's wine glass with a straight face and drank all the wine in the cup.

The third glass of wine is also a flowery show, the charming woman raised the wine glass above her head with both hands, and a pair of hooking eyes couldn't help but tease the sky, but he still pretended not to see, a serious one.

The emperor saw that Taijue drank three glasses of wine in succession, and he was very disappointed in his heart for the rejection of the three women he arranged, he did not expect that this Shangguan Tian was not only extraordinary in martial arts and humble in attitude, but he was not close to women, he was a righteous gentleman, and he knew that there was no way to impress Tianjue with women, but the emperor still did not give up. "I heard that Shangguan Aiqing has not married yet, but is there such a thing?" The emperor asked pretending to be concerned.

Tianjue suddenly understood the other party's intentions from the three women just now and the so-called concern of the emperor at this time, "The emperor's subordinates are indeed alone." "Heaven is telling the truth, I just want to see what the emperor will do next.

The emperor smiled majestically when he heard this, "Haha, it's a pity that a young man as talented as Shangguan Aiqing is still alone, why don't I be a matchmaker for you and allow the three palace maids just now to be your wife?" ”

Shangguan Tianjue was amused when he heard this, and said in his heart that I wouldn't want this kind of vulgar powder in front of me, even if I put it upside down. Although he had an abacus in his heart, he couldn't see it at all on the surface, he was still indifferent, and he hurriedly threw his hand at the emperor, "My subordinates are grateful to the emperor for his love, but my subordinates broke their bodies when they practiced in their early years, so they have not married yet, and I hope that the emperor will not be difficult for his subordinates." Tianjue used a lie to push away the emperor's marriage, and the emperor was shocked when he heard this, "Aiqing is joking with me." The emperor's sharp eyes looked at every expression of Tianjue intently, it can be seen that his face is strict, and when he says this, his eyes are not at all wandering, not like he is lying, but when he sees the other party saying that his body is bad and he can't get close to women, that look is light and makes people suspect that the other party is not talking about himself, but about other people's affairs, if it is his own business, how can he be so calm, and what a sad thing it is for a man not to be able to kiss women. Because Tianjue's calm indifference made the emperor suspicious.

Tianjue could see the suspicion in his heart from the emperor's eyes, "Emperor Qiqi's matter is true, if you don't believe it, you can ask my family Chitose, and even if his subordinates have a hundred guts, they don't dare to expire the emperor, how can their subordinates bear the crime of bullying the king." "Tianjue's words are strict, not leaking, the emperor thought about it carefully and felt that it might be possible, firstly, Shangguan Tianjue should not have the courage to bully the king, secondly, how can he still be alone in his twenties, this Murong Yichuan is the most affectionate, Tianjue is his confidant, he can't bear to see him single, and even if he had an indifferent attitude towards these palace maids just now, how many Yanagi Megumi can sit still in time?

"In that case, let's stop this matter, I don't know the inside story of mentioning Shangguan Aiqing's sadness, I am deeply sorry......" The emperor said sincerely, with a kind of sympathy for Shangguan Tianjue.

Facing the emperor's attitude, Tianjue felt funny in his heart, but he didn't bring it out at all, but he just said very indifferently that the emperor was strict, and if the emperor had no other instructions, then his subordinates would retire first.

The emperor's attempt to use women to buy Tianjue failed, so he was very unhappy in his heart, and watched Shangguan Tianjue disappear from his sight as if nothing had happened.
