This time, Liu Xian entered the palace without being summoned by the emperor, which was the first time after Liu Xian came to the capital of Luoyang.

Although he felt that there would be no danger in entering the palace at this time, Liu Xian also did not dare to take it lightly, and still asked Wang Yue to wait outside the palace with his personal guards, so as to be ready to respond at any time.

It was also Huang Wudie who entered the palace with him.

When they arrived at the gate of the imperial palace, the forbidden army guarding the gate of the imperial city was a little surprised by Liu Xian's sudden arrival. Because this person is now too famous in Luoyang Capital, they often hear people talking about Liu Xian.

But this person usually doesn't come to the palace, at least he won't come without the emperor's summons. I don't know what I'm going to do in the palace now.

However, they didn't say much, because Liu Xian showed the jade pendant given by the emperor, and they all knew that with the jade pendant, they could enter the palace casually.

"When Benhou enters the palace, he wants to see the emperor, I don't know if the emperor has been to the court today?"

After the forbidden soldiers guarding the gate of the palace let Liu Xian in, Liu Xian seemed to ask casually.

"Back to Marquis Wuyong, the emperor did not go to court today, if you ask to see the emperor, you have to go to the front to report, and let people go back to the harem to report."

Not everyone in the forbidden army knew that the emperor was bent on destroying Liu Xian. These ordinary soldiers of the forbidden army can indeed only obey orders from above in many cases. Therefore, not everyone always has a kind of hostility towards Liu Xian, and they don't always think about killing Liu Xian.

Normal inquiries, they will still answer respectfully.

"That's right, it's just right, you don't have to go to the palace, Benhou will go directly to the harem to ask to see the emperor."

Inside the gate of the palace is a large school field, and the front steps up the stairs are the court hall, and entering from the back of the court hall is the inner palace, that is, the harem. But from the side of the school field, bypassing the court, you can also enter the harem.

took Huang Wudie to the side of the court, and there was an inner city gate to pass in.

Of course, there are guards guarding it.

Liu Xian stepped forward and expressed his intentions, but they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately divided a few guards to lead the way for Liu Xian and enter the harem.

Liu Xian has the emperor's jade pendant, and they will not stop Liu Xian from entering the harem, but they will definitely have forbidden soldiers to lead the way, and by the way, they can be regarded as monitoring Liu Xian.

This is also natural, even if Liu Xian can indeed enter the palace casually, but this does not mean that Liu Xian can enter and leave the palace freely without restrictions.

The inner palace of the imperial palace is inhabited by three thousand beauties of the emperor.

The point is that the inner palace of this palace is very large, and if a person is not familiar with it, he will definitely get lost. But this dare is not a question of whether you get lost or not. In case Liu Xian entered the palace and accidentally broke into the residence of a certain concubine and offended those concubines, then this is not only Liu Xian's sin, but also the sin of their guards who did not fulfill their due responsibilities.

Moreover, in case Liu Xian can enter and exit the palace casually, and usually run into the palace to hook up with the concubines in the palace or something, this is the problem. The inner palace of the palace is so big, Liu Xian went in, where did he go, and what he did, who knows?

So, someone has to be watching.

Liu Xian didn't have such thoughts at this time, and followed the soldiers of the forbidden army directly to the vicinity of the emperor's imperial study.

Fortunately, the emperor was actually in the imperial study, and he was not busy in the dormitory of a concubine.

In fact, Emperor Liu Hong looked like he was only in his thirties, upright and young, but since he got rid of the Empress Dowager Dou's brothers and sisters, he barely stabilized the situation in the court, and after planning to make every effort to govern it, he found that the original Han court was far from being as simple as he imagined. Although he got rid of the control of Empress Dowager Dou's brothers and sisters, he fell into another whirlpool.

Faced with the threatening pressure of the eunuchs in the palace, the pressure of the powerful ministers and relatives of the court, he couldn't stand it. His heart that just wanted to be ambitious, that little bit of fire that wanted to revitalize the big man, was extinguished immediately.

This, for Emperor Liu Hong, is actually normal. After all, he was originally a fallen member of the Han family, and he had nothing to do with the position of the emperor. To put it bluntly, he is not a person who has been cultivated as an emperor since he was a child, and he does not have the ability to deal with so many scheming eunuchs in the palace and powerful ministers in the court.

To put it mildly, those scheming guys didn't kill him, didn't depose him as an emperor, and still maintained a respectful attitude towards him on the surface, which is already good. He knew that he could not take back the real imperial power from those people.

Therefore, he willingly depraved, began to indulge, and became a debaucherous and unscrupulous king. Not to mention, such a day is actually quite happy, at least, he can also enjoy wealth and countless beauties. It's better than getting nothing.

With this mentality, nearly ten years have passed.

He squandered his youth desperately......

By now, Emperor Liu Hong's body has been hollowed out, and problems have begun to appear, with dizziness and chest tightness from time to time.

I don't know when he started, but he actually relied on some drugs to show his strength.

This, the emperor has three thousand beauties, but there are only two princes, and there are not many daughters, which is really abnormal. There are indeed some unknown secrets in this, but the situation of the emperor himself is indeed a problem.

It is conceivable that almost every day you have to exhaust yourself, indulge in intemperance, and for more than ten years in a row, this is not ****, which is already a miracle.

In the final analysis, Emperor Liu Hong is indeed just an ordinary person, and if he plays like this, he will have to play himself to death sooner or later. Speaking of which, Liu Xian is cultivating the Taiping Sutra, but if Liu Xian is asked to play like this, I'm afraid Liu Xian will not be able to bear it.

There will always be an upper limit to a person's physical muscles, and it is impossible to generate energy endlessly.

The color is a bone-piercing knife.

Emperor Liu Hong has become more and more powerless.

Last night, he went to a favorite concubine, but it was always difficult to make people happy, so he left the concubine's dormitory overnight.

The weaker a person's body is, the more he can't sleep, so he simply came to the imperial study, but he didn't have the energy to deal with the backlog of twists and turns, and after drinking some wine, he actually fell asleep in the imperial study.

Now, the emperor has only just woken up. I just asked someone to go to the imperial dining room to get some wine and food.

Before he could start, he heard the Praetorian guards come to report, and Liu Xian, the Marquis of Wuyong, asked to see him.

When the emperor heard that Liu Xian suddenly came to ask for a meeting, his hands trembled, and he didn't know why, but he was a little panicked in his heart. Although he is the king of a country, there is no reason to be afraid of such a kid. But now, Liu Xian has indeed left him with a ruthless impression.

A person who dares to fight and kill is indeed scruples.

Of course, the emperor then thought, is now a good opportunity to deal with Liu Xian? If he enters the palace for no reason, he is not afraid of death?

He looked at an old eunuch who had been hiding aside, and there was some impulse in his heart that he couldn't suppress.

But after thinking about it, he suppressed his impulse again, and said to the janissaries who came to report: "Announce him in." ”

After a while, Liu Xian knocked on the emperor in the imperial study.

"Marquis Wu Yong, don't be polite, get up, come, eat something with me. Well, I'm dealing with the twists and turns here, and before I know it, it's time, it's not too sooner or too late. ”

"Thank you, it's just right, Xiaohou just brought some wine, and I plan to present it to the emperor, please taste it."

When Liu Xian didn't come in, he sensed that there were other people in the imperial study, and his breath was not weak. In addition, there are quite a few janissaries around.

However, Liu Xian did not panic, because he knew that these should be the normal escort forces around the emperor. As long as he does not show any bad intentions, or the emperor does not give orders, those people will not take action against him.

However, Liu Xian will not behave too casually, nor will he be like the emperor in the court, saying something to the emperor.

Liu Xian wants to borrow the names of those, but it is just a fox and a fake tiger, and it is for the officials of the court to see. Knowing that the emperor is bent on killing himself, then when he is alone now, it is not good to pull those things to provoke the emperor.

Therefore, Liu Xian seems to be very peaceful.

Liu Xian didn't plan to talk about anything, and went straight to the point.

"Wine?" The emperor was a little surprised, and said with some vigilance: "Marquis Wu Yong, you are coming to the palace to see me now, just to offer wine to me?" ”

As soon as Liu Xian saw it, he knew that the emperor didn't know about the popularity of his Tianlou.

Actually, it's not that the emperor doesn't know, the opening of the Tianlou was hot yesterday, and someone had already written a report to the emperor last night, but the fold is now in front of the emperor, but the emperor didn't see it, so I really don't know at this time.

But casually offering food and drink to the emperor in private, this is a bit taboo. Because who knows if there will be any problems with all this food and drink? But if there is the slightest problem, then Liu Xian will be in trouble.

And Liu Xian is also the enemy's subconscious enemy, and now Liu Xian is offering him wine? This only made him wary and wondered if there would be something wrong with the wine that Liu Xian had offered him.

"Your Majesty, that's true." Liu Xian naturally knew the emperor's vigilance, but he still said calmly: "This time I entered the palace, I just brought a small amount, mainly to let the emperor taste it, if the emperor feels good after tasting it, he will send more into the palace to present to the emperor in the future." In addition, in addition to this, there is another amount of money that I want to dedicate to the emperor. ”

"Wine and money?" The emperor was really a little surprised, this Liu Xian would have such a good heart? Send me money?

Liu Xian looked at his face, and suddenly understood in his heart, knowing that the emperor should not know that his people made a lot of money again by taking food as the sky. In addition, Liu Xian also guessed that at this time, his Tianlou should not have really attracted the attention of those who have a heart, after all, it has just opened, even if it is popular, they have not thought of how much money they can make for a while. Only when Tianlou continues to become popular, will they realize Liu Xian's speed of making money and how much money he makes, and they will start to be jealous, and they will start to think about how to plan for themselves.

Liu Xian felt that he had come to the right place, as long as he negotiated with the emperor, then the sky tower would be equivalent to a layer of protective color, and when the time came, Liu Xian would not have to worry about those bright and dark schemes.

Of course, if the emperor wants to turn his face, then Liu Xian has no choice.

"That's right." Liu Xianxian explained: "Your Majesty, Xiaohou took Cuizhuruan from Lord Yang Ci, and after transformation, opened a people's food as heaven restaurant. This restaurant opened yesterday. ”

"Well, you people take food as the sky, and the restaurant opened yesterday...... I know that. The emperor seemed to think about it for a while, and finally remembered that someone had indeed mentioned this to him.

"What's wrong? This restaurant is open, business is okay, right? ”

In the bones of this emperor, there is indeed a little obsession with business, so he asked with rare concern.

As he spoke, he judged with his own cognition: "Marquis Wu Yong, that Cuizhu Ruan is located on Green Willow Street, right?" It may be difficult to open a restaurant on Lvliuhua Street that is pure food and drink. “

"Thanks to the emperor's blessings, the people take food as the sky as soon as the restaurant opened, it became popular, and these are all unexpected by Xiaohou."

"Oh? Can it really catch fire? This...... By the way, I seem to have heard from Princess Wannian that your Marquis Wu Yong has a unique way of innovating some new dishes, and I heard that the taste is excellent, and some very simple dishes taste no worse than palace meals. Is all this true? So if there really is such a delicious dish, it is not surprising that this restaurant will be on fire. The Emperor said.

"Cuisine is one thing, but I don't dare to compare it to palace meals. The key thing is actually the wine we brew. The wine served by our people to the restaurant was tasted by those guests, but they were full of praise. ”

"Oh? Do you still make such a good wine? The wine that can be praised by the majority of customers must not be ordinary. "The emperor is naturally inseparable from wine, but he hasn't drunk any fine wine? Now I can't help but be a little curious about the wine that Liu Xian said.

"Whether the wine is good or not, Xiaohou brought some in, and the emperor will know after tasting it. Xiaohou felt that if it was really a good thing, it should indeed be presented to the emperor to taste first. In addition, dissatisfied with the emperor, because of the relationship between wine or food, the people take food as the sky and the restaurant is popular, and this situation is estimated to continue for a while. In this way, it made Xiaohou feel a little frightened. Liu Xian seemed to be a little flustered.

"Oh? Why did Marquis Wu Yong say that? ”

"Your Majesty, Xiaohou has reiterated many times that my interest is actually to run a business and make some small money to spend. But...... Last time Xiaohou sold toothbrush and toothpaste, the result was ...... This has caused some traitors to be jealous and jealous, they should still say a lot of bad things about Xiaohou in front of the emperor, right? It is estimated that if it weren't for the emperor's wisdom, Xiaohou might have to bear some responsibility now. ”

"Ahem...... Last time...... I really listened to the words of those bad guys, so I hurriedly summoned Marquis Wu Yong into the palace to ask you clearly. The Emperor was a little embarrassed at this time.

Therefore, this time, Xiaohou entered the palace as soon as possible to offer wine to the emperor. In addition, he also plans to give 20% of Tianlou's profits to the emperor, and I hope that the emperor will not refuse. ”
