Chapter 12 The Imperial Meeting
Zeng Zichen, who returned to the courtyard, felt a little melancholy, when he was on earth, as a man in his 60s, he had seen too many people and the world, because he had experienced more, he had experienced more, and he valued certain emotions more seriously.
Calm down, thinking that the third brother should have escaped from the palace now, for that small hole, Zeng Zichen still heard his own brother Zeng Zixuan mention it, after all, he can get out of the palace and mess around, this hole is a must.
The news of his recovery must have been known to his father now, but he has not yet been summoned for questioning, which makes Zeng Zichen somewhat admire Emperor Daqian in his heart.
There are more than ten days, that is, his official crown ceremony, that is, at that time, he can leave the palace, he has not forgotten that he still has an unlimited summoning card, not that he refuses to summon now, but now this is the palace, summoning a stranger out, not being suspicious of that is called a strange thing! It is only two or three days after coming to this world, that is, in just a few days, all kinds of things have happened, so that Zeng Zichen even if he has a mighty father, he does not have the slightest sense of security. is accustomed to being a superior person and advocating the life and death of others, but now life and death are all in the will of others, I have to say that the contrast is huge. made Zeng Zichen think about becoming stronger all the time......
In the Jinluan Palace, all the courtiers were discussing, all discussing the night attack on the palace last night. And Prime Minister Xiao Qianqiu, and Generalissimo Chu Shoushu Chu, who controlled one-third of the soldiers and horses of the Great Qiandi Dynasty, stood solemnly, both of them closed their eyes and were silent.
"Your Majesty has arrived, and hundreds of officials kneel to greet you!" a shrill voice came from inside the main hall. All the officials knelt on the ground, their heads buried deep in the ground, and waited for Emperor Daqian to ascend the Kowloon platform, standing in front of the dragon chair, looking down on the hundreds of officials of His Royal Highness. said in a deep voice: "Zhong Aiqing, let's calm down!" Although the emperor's temples were slightly pale at this time, his face was like white jade, his breath was vigorous, his steps were steady, and he had a bearing to control the world. Since last night's battle, the emperor has begun to show his edge.
When the hundred officials heard this, Ying Nuo stood up and looked at the emperor on the Kowloon platform, and the hundred officials were shocked. How many years have it been that the emperor has once again shown his edge, is this about to go to war?
"Two days ago, the crown prince was poisoned, and last night, the palace was attacked at night, you must all know this, I am old, or you are old, why do people always come to pick my beard!?"
The audience was silent, glanced at the people of His Royal Highness, the emperor had some unclear meaning in his heart, the rise of Daqian was all the work of his own generation, and now it is still in the great hall, and there are only 5 people, Prime Minister Xiao Qianqiu, Marshal of Soldiers and Horses Chu Shoushu, Taishi Tang Chengwu, Wang Hong, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and He Min, Secretary of the Ministry of Rites. All five of them were his old subordinates. The others are all rookies, and they don't have the calmness that they have when they encounter problems, and they are in a dilemma when there is a problem, and they have no opinions. This does not bode well.
At this time, looking at the court hall without half a sound, the emperor felt a little bored, "Retreat from the court, I don't want to continue today!" Everything looks anticlimactic.
In the imperial garden, the emperor looked at the brightly colored Qingling flower and fell into deep thought.
"Your Majesty, the prince asks to see!" said An Fu, the big eunuch beside him, softly.
However, I don't know if the emperor heard it, and the emperor always stood with his hands down. There is no intention of sobering up.
Zeng Zichen stood respectfully behind the emperor, and after a long time, Zeng Zichen's face still did not have half a point of annoyance.
"Are you getting better?" said the Emperor slowly.
"Thank you for your concern, my son is much better!" Zeng Zichen bowed slightly.
The atmosphere was a little silent, as if the two had nothing else to say about it other than these topics. There seems to be a gap between the two that ordinary people don't see.
"You let that son of a son go, right?" said the Emperor in a deep voice.
Zeng Zichen was expressionless, "He is the third brother, the son of Concubine Chu!"
Hearing this, the emperor's hand hidden in the dragon robe trembled a little, and he took a deep breath. The atmosphere fell into another embarrassing tension, and suddenly another little eunuch hurriedly ran forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng asks to see you." ”
"Xuan!"
The little eunuch hurried away, the emperor turned around, and his complexion, which had changed a little before, was now solemn again. Glancing at Zeng Zichen, who had a respectful attitude, he felt a little inexplicably worried in his heart.
Soon, I saw Xiao Qianqiu coming slowly, without half a minute of urgency. After greeting each other and saying a few subtle words, Zeng Zichen applied for resignation, but the emperor left him aside.
At this time, Zeng Zichen looked at the prime minister of the empire, wearing an official robe, his face was middle-aged, and his eyes emitted a soft light, as if he was a warm jade.
"Your Majesty, now the world will be turbulent again, the world's families, sects are mostly under the pressure of His Majesty, temporarily surrendered, but it is with us and the big void and the snake, a few years ago, a group called "virtual", which aimed to shake our great Qianjiang and mountains and societies, tried to subvert our Great Qiandi Dynasty, it is very hateful, the crime should be punished, and now they have been rampant to attack the despicable behavior of the palace. However, Chen thought that it was because of their appearance that our regrets back then could be made up!" Xiao Qianqiu said respectfully.
"Well, this is indeed a danger to my great cadre, and it is also an opportunity for my great cadre to dominate the world, but there are many masters in the current sect and family. If it's urgent. Inevitably, they will jump off the wall in a hurry. For now, let's appease a group and kill a group. Everything is in the long view. After all, my great master has not yet returned!" Emperor Qian nodded.
"But!" The tone paused, and Emperor Daqian's eyes flashed with undisguised fierceness: "Since they came to my Daqian to kill this time, if I don't give a return gift, it will be too rude." Leave this matter to Qianqiu, you can handle it! Don't lose my big gifts......"
