followed the guide into the private room and found that it was really Shen's father-in-law.

Xie Zhan's heart sank, he retreated left and right, closed the doors and windows, sat opposite Father-in-law Shen, and asked in a low voice, "Why did Father-in-law come to look for me in person?" But what is the matter with Your Majesty? ”

Gonggong Shen didn't reply, stared at him, his eagle-like sharp eyes looked at him carefully, as if he wanted to see him from head to toe.

Xie Zhan was stared at by him all over the body, and was about to ask a question, when he heard Gonggong Shen, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly speak and asked him, "Lord Baifeng Siqing, why do you want to resist the decree?" ”

"Huh?" This sudden question caught Xie Zhan off guard, and he blinked in confusion.

Isn't this thing in the past? Why did you suddenly bring it up again?

Xie Zhan thought about it carefully, pondered it carefully, and chose an answer that sounded very perfect, and said, "I know Your Majesty, Your Majesty is innocent and kind, and he will never do such a difficult thing for a strong man." At that time, I felt that there was something strange about this matter, and it did not look like something that His Majesty would do, so I swore to resist. ”

Gonggong Shen looked at him silently, and his calm gaze forced Xie Zhan to feel like he was covered with sores, and he was very uncomfortable.

But the old fritter is the old fritter after all, and in the sharp eyes of Gonggong Shen, he did not show the slightest timidity and weakness, and looked straight ahead.

Gonggong Shen was slightly stunned, shook his head, and returned to the familiar appearance of Xie Zhan, and said: "Lord Baifeng Siqing is really humorous, okay, don't talk much, Lord Baifeng Siqing should hurry up and get ready, and follow the old slave into the palace." ”

"Okay." Xie Zhan hesitated, but still stood up and cleaned himself up.

However, there is one thing, from the question and answer of Gonggong Shen, he vaguely knew that His Majesty's announcement of his entry into the palace this time may have something to do with his resistance to the decree.

He had long known that this matter would not be settled easily, so even if His Majesty forgave him, he did not immediately get in touch with the Protector Mansion.

Now His Majesty has finally taken the initiative to mention this matter, and he has just taken this opportunity to return to the Protector's Mansion!

On the way to the palace, Gonggong Shen suddenly asked: "Lord Baifeng Siqing, didn't you regret it at that time for Boss Xin's rebellion?" ”

This inexplicable inquiry once again made Xie Zhan confirm that His Majesty's announcement of his entry into the palace this time was related to his resistance to the decree.

Xie Zhan scratched his head, showed an elegant smile, and said, "What do you want to say during this time?" If I don't choose to resist the decree, I will marry Princess Huai'an. If I had obeyed this holy decree, I would have really missed Mu Yuan in my life. ”

A sneer rang out in his ears.

Xie Zhan's reason, Shen Gonggong couldn't understand.

"So in your eyes, royal dignity is not even comparable to that of a woman?"

Xie Zhan had a cold sweat behind his back, and hurriedly said, "Where did Gonggong Shen start with this?" The royal family is majestic, it is the majesty of God, I am just a small commoner, how dare I go against the sky? The events of that day, even when I think back now, I still break out in a cold sweat. ”

The corners of Shen's mouth hooked, and he shut up and stopped talking about it. Xie Zhan's answer made him very disappointed, but whether this person is worthy of continued trust is up to His Majesty, not him.

Gonggong Shen led him into the palace and left him behind Panlongju.

Xie Zhan looked left and right, and when he saw that there were no attendants around, he pushed open the door of Panlong Residence by himself.

Xiao Changting entered the flower hall in the courtyard, brewing a cup of cool flower tea, with a gentle smile on his face, just like the shy and humble young man when he first met.

"Here we are." Xiao Changting looked back, and the afterglow of the sun was sprinkled in his dark eyes.

The vigilance in Xie Zhan's heart relaxed, and he walked over and sat beside him.

As the supreme emperor of the Ninety-Five Dynasty, he personally poured tea for Xie Zhan, and Xie Zhan, who was a courtier, respectfully thanked him and took the tea cup and held it in the palm of his hand.

"I don't know why Your Majesty summoned his ministers to the palace today?" Xie Zhan looked at Xiao Changting with a soft smile.

Xiao Changting's gaze swept over Xie Zhan casually, the expression on his face did not change, and said, "It's nothing special, I just want to use the military power in Zhan's hands." ”

"Borrow the power of the army in my hands?" Xie Zhan's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he secretly looked at Xiao Changting, "What is Your Majesty doing with the military power in my hands?" ”

Xiao Changting looked at him with a smile, the smile in his eyes made Xie Zhan incomprehensible, and his body was inexplicably cold.

"Why is Your Majesty looking at me like this? But what did the minister do to displease His Majesty? Xie Zhan was stared at by the silent Xiao Changting, and was the first to break the silence and ask questions.

The expression on Xiao Changting's face was even more strange.

He shook his head and said, "I don't have anything special, but Brother Zhan's reaction makes me curious. When do I have to ask for the permission of a courtier for anything? ”

Xiao Changting's words filled Xie Zhan's whole body with a chill.

Xiao Changting had never said such a thing to him in such a tone......

Xiao Changting...... What happened to him?

Xie Zhan licked his lips uneasily, recalling what he had done recently that might make Xiao Changting angry, but after thinking about it, there was really nothing that he could provoke as a small civilian except for resisting the decree.

Who is this in front of you? That is the heaven of the Great Liang Dynasty, the god in the hearts of the people, how can he fight with himself because of a small matter, even to the point of using military power?

Xiao Changting didn't know if he had noticed the little emotions in Xie Zhan's heart, he just smiled and asked Xie Zhan in a confused tone: "I just want to borrow the military power in Brother Zhan's hands, why is Brother Zhan so hesitant?" Could it be that I can't move the military power of Da Liang? ”

"Or, you can't move the military power in your hands."

Xie Zhan was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that such words came from Xiao Changting's mouth, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" You are the emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty, my master, and the military power in my hands is the right given by you, how can you not move? The minister said this sentence a lot, just because you are protected by the people of the world, but suddenly the minister borrowed the military power, and the minister was worried about ......"

Xiao Changting said: "Don't worry, I am the master of this world, I naturally understand what can be done and what cannot be done, I think, I should not be so mediocre that I need to tell a courtier to do something, and ask him to tell me if things can be continued." ”

This misunderstanding is really big.

Xie Zhan was very uneasy in his heart, and subconsciously clenched his talisman, and said, "Your Majesty taught me a lesson, and it was the minister who asked more questions. He finally pinched the talisman in his palm, thinking about whether he should give the talisman to Xiao Changting.

He had a vague suspicion in his heart, thinking that Xiao Changting wanted to take back the talisman in his hand. If this is the case, he can breathe a sigh of relief, after all, this is a matter that has an impact on his interests, and it is natural to take it back, but he is afraid of ......
