With this "Your Majesty has arrived", the door in the golden hall was pushed open again, everyone's eyes were gathered at the door of the main hall again, and all the people who were talking stopped talking, and then everyone naturally stood on both sides along the red carpet laid in the main hall, giving way to the emperor's exclusive throne at the highest place, and the princes' children subconsciously gathered in one place.

Then, the palace attendants in gold armor rushed in and stood quietly on both sides...... Immediately after that, the current supreme ruler of the Great You Empire, His Majesty the Emperor, stepped on the carpet.

The little emperor did not wear a dragon robe today, but wore a bright gold brocade robe, and a bright red cloak was draped outside, and the snow-white fox fur at the neckline of the cloak was the most precious breed at a glance, and the emperor was slowly following the two of them.

One of them, Mu Qiuhuang and others also knew, was the little emperor's most relied on confidant, the great eunuch Bai You.

As for the other person, he was dressed in Taoist costume, although he looked skinny, but he also looked like a fairy wind Dao bone, which was not to be underestimated.

The little emperor walked across the red carpet without squinting and sat on his exclusive throne, Bai You standing quietly on his side.

And the Taoist man stood on the steps in front of the little emperor with a whisk in his hand.

Seeing the position where the Taoist was standing, Mu Qiuhuang also understood in his heart, except for the national teacher of the dynasty and the Daoyan patriarch of Longhu Mountain, I am afraid that others are not qualified to dare to stand at the head of the prime minister of the dynasty? Although the national teacher is not involved in the government and does not hold real power, his false title in the empire is extremely high, after all, the Son of Heaven is ordered by heaven, and the main role of these Taoists is to communicate with God on behalf of the Son of Heaven...... Therefore, the national teacher will be invited to attend the various grand ceremonies of the dynasty.

……

Everyone in the main hall began to kneel and salute the little emperor under the leadership of Xiahou Wenyuan.

"The family is exempt." After the little emperor took off his cloak, he spoke to everyone.

Mu Qiuhuang stood up with everyone and looked towards the little emperor, this was the first time he saw the little emperor, and he saw that the little emperor was sitting straight on the dragon chair, his lips were tightly pursed, and his slightly immature face was a little resolute.

It's just that Mu Qiuhuang's attention was all on the little emperor, but he didn't notice that since he just entered the main hall, Patriarch Daoyan's gaze had been wandering on him and Ji Yan.

……

Mu Qiuhuang noticed that while he was looking at the little emperor, the little emperor was also looking around at everyone in the hall.

Suddenly, when the little emperor looked at the exterior beside Xiahou Wenyuan, his brows furrowed slightly, although the little emperor had returned to his normal color in just an instant, but the expression just now was still captured by Mu Qiuhuang in his eyes, and Mu Qiuhuang also believed that in this hall, there were not a few people who saw the little emperor's gaze.

Mu Qiuhuang followed the little emperor's gaze to Xiahou Wenyuan, and couldn't help but move slightly in his heart, and he also understood why the little emperor suddenly frowned just now?

Because until now, Xiahou Xuanba, the general of Zhenguo, has still not arrived.

Dare to arrive after the emperor, can it be said that he thinks he is more noble than the emperor?

At this point, Mu Qiuhuang was a little puzzled, although some people said that the court is now the Xiahou family's Yiyantang, and there are also rumors that Xiahou Xuanba is now "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes"...... But the more in this case, shouldn't Xiahou Xuanba pay more attention to his words and deeds? In this kind of situation where the princes' children are all civil and military, Xiahou Xuanba dares to arrive later than the little emperor, which is a blatant refusal to give face to the little emperor, and it is no longer the way to be a minister...... Could it be that Xiahou Xuanba wanted to take advantage of this feast to demonstrate? But isn't that right? Now that the princes and children are all present, how dare he do this? …… Mu Qiuhuang's thoughts at this time were already twisting and turning, because, in his opinion, Xiahou Xuanba's move was simply stupid.

Mu Qiuhuang tried to see something on the face of Xiahou Xuanba's clan brother Xiahou Wenyuan? But it was destined to disappoint him, and he saw that Xiahou Wenyuan's face was Gujing Wubo, and he couldn't see anything.

Although the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also noticed this, no one dared to speak out to point out this matter.

All of a sudden, there was silence above the main hall.

After the little emperor glanced at the ministers with a little disappointment, he also withdrew his gaze, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart?

Suddenly, the little emperor spoke: "The great general has been sent by me to deal with some things, and it will not be long before he returns." ”

Seeing that the little emperor had found a step for himself, the ministers in this hall were relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

After the little emperor glanced mockingly at the ministers present, his eyes suddenly turned to the children of the princes, and slowly asked, "Where is Mu Qiuhuang, the prince of Beiyu?" ”

Mu Qiuhuang stayed in the crowd, and when he heard the little emperor calling for him first, he couldn't help but be stunned, but he was quietly pushed by Ling Huji, and then he walked out, stood in the center of the red carpet, and saluted: "Your Majesty, I'm here." ”

"Hmm!" The little emperor nodded and said, "You don't have to be restrained, if you talk about our kinship, I still have to call you cousin." ”

"The minister is terrified."

Mu Qiuhuang said in his heart: "Your cousin is called Mu Qiulin, ......but he is also very puzzled in his heart, at this time, although he is not above the court, there are also civil and military officials present...... Why did the little emperor rush to get into a relationship with himself?

I saw the little emperor continue: "My aunt has been married to Beiyu for more than ten years, and I don't want to take time to go back to this palace to see, although my father has already controlled the dragon and Bintian, but there is still my own nephew in this palace, isn't it?" …… When you return to Beiyu this time, you will send a message to my aunt on behalf of me, saying that my nephew misses her very much, and I hope that she will have time to return to Kyoto to take a look at me......"

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister will bring the words for His Majesty." Mu Qiuhuang replied respectfully.

I felt a little strange in my heart, when Princess Changling married Beiyu, the little emperor had not been born at all, and besides, the family of the Son of Heaven was already cold about blood and family...... Mu Qiuhuang didn't believe that the little emperor would miss him, an aunt he had never met, very much?

However, when some princes in the court heard this, they suddenly remembered the one who had wept blood on the Golden Palace and kowtowed to Princess Changling, and then thought of Princess Changling's husband, the Marquis of Beiyu who had an army of 300,000 tigers and wolves~ Mu Qingen.

After Emperor Longshuo ascended the throne, he secretly slaughtered his own brother, so the little emperor now has no uncle to rely on. On the other hand, in order to prevent the situation of "the emperor is young and the harem is in politics" after his death, he ruthlessly killed the biological mother of the little emperor...... Only the little emperor was left with two auxiliary ministers, Situ Changqing and Xiahou Xuanba.

The original purpose of Emperor Longshuo was to leave a clean court for the little emperor and prevent anyone from taking advantage of blood and family affection to cause trouble. But he never thought that before the little emperor really grew up and consolidated his status in the country, the old lady passed away suddenly.

The death of the old lady immediately caused a series of butterfly effects...... In other words, now that the little emperor has become a real loner, there is no blood family for him to rely on.

And the little emperor mentioned this to Mu Qiuhuang in front of the courtiers, which is equivalent to saying that he is not alone, he also has a real aunt...... He also has a powerful relative of the Marquis of Beiyu.

Therefore, the princes of the palace had a hint of uncertainty in their eyes when they looked like Mu Qiuhuang.

After the little emperor dragged Mu Qiuhuang to climb his relatives, he continued to laugh with the children of other princes, talking about their respective customs and spiritual outlook, all in all, it doesn't matter what to talk about, the important thing is to make the atmosphere above the hall up, and alleviate the embarrassment of Xiahou Xuanba's delay...... Therefore, for a while, the atmosphere in the hall also wanted to be harmonious.

……

After a while, the time had come.

However, Xiahou Xuanba still did not arrive.

At this time, the little emperor no longer concealed his dissatisfaction, and directly asked the official eunuch to urge.

Although it is said that today is the banquet of the Son of Heaven set up by the little emperor, it is not good to start a banquet rashly when the first emperor Tuogu's minister, the first person in the military, and the general of the Zhenguo Xiahou Xuanba have not arrived.

At this time, the hundreds of officials in the court also turned their heads to each other...... However, Xiahou Wenyuan was still standing alone, a little stunned.

Originally, as the prime minister, he was a cut above the officials in the court, and secondly, the content of the conversation between the officials in the court did not need to be guessed, and it was known that it must be related to the delay in the arrival of Xiahou Xuanba.

……

Time passed a little more.

Just when there was a lot of discussion in the main hall, suddenly a sharp voice came from outside the hall, "General Zhenguo, here!" ”

With this roll call, it was like a stone suddenly plunging into the calm lake, causing countless ripples, instantly gathering everyone's attention, and everyone in the hall turned around and looked at the entrance of the main hall.

Mu Qiuhuang and the other princes' children, because they had never seen Xiahou Xuanba, were even more looking forward to it at this time.

Fortunately, it didn't make everyone wait for long, as the iron door of the main hall was slowly pushed open, Xiahou Xuanba, who was dressed in military uniform, walked in in the spotlight.

Yes, it's a military uniform.

Shiny armor, bright red cloak, left hand holding the hilt of the sword, right hand around the helmet, the long bright red feather on the helmet fluttering slowly.

From the moment Xiahou Xuanba walked into the main hall, he could feel a ubiquitous killing aura. Although the red and green decorations in the main hall at this time are extremely festive, and a peaceful atmosphere has just been created between everyone, it still can't hide the killing aura that Xiahou Xuanba exudes when he walks, and it seems that with the arrival of Xiahou Xuanba, even the temperature in the hall has dropped by a few degrees, adding a bit of solemnity to this hall.

Mu Qiuhuang suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart at this time, but he couldn't figure out where this uneasiness came from.

Mu Qiuhuang noticed that the Linghu Jie beside him seemed to be grabbing a handful in the air, and Mu Qiuhuang, who was familiar with Linghu Jie's habits, naturally knew that he wanted to hold his Xuanhua axe...... It can only show that Xiahou Xuanba's aura is too strong, and he is actually forcing the goshawk, one of the six giants of Beiyu~ Ling Fox Ji is in front of him, and only by holding a weapon can he have a sense of security.

After Xiahou Xuanba walked in, as if there was no one around, he walked straight to the front on the red carpet and stood in the most eye-catching middle position in the main hall.

"The old minister knocked to see His Majesty, he was late for the banquet, and he hoped that His Majesty would forgive his sins." Xiahou Xuanba knelt on one knee and saluted the little emperor.

"It's not good, something happened...... Mu Qiuhuang said secretly in his heart, just when Xiahou Xuanba was just passing by Mu Qiuhuang's side, Mu Qiuhuang smelled a faint smell of blood.
