Chapter 266: Returning to the Imperial Study

The resplendent Imperial Palace, a place that countless people dream of wanting to enter.

Dozens of towering pillars stand on the wide road leading to the palace hall, and on the top of the giant pillars, you can clearly see the soaring dragon.

The white jade slabs covered the entire road, and the snow-white appearance made Xu Muchuan feel solemn. Especially the rows of Royal Forest soldiers stationed on both sides of the wide road made Xu Muchuan feel a little suffocated.

The carved railings of the attic can be seen everywhere in the palace, and the brilliant colors come into Xu Muchuan's eyes.

After walking for a while, Xu Muchuan came to the crimson gate of the palace hall.

"Lord Xu, Your Majesty is waiting in the imperial study." At the door of the main hall, there was already a eunuch waiting, and when he saw Xu Muchuan's body striding towards a meteor, he hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Well, my father-in-law led the way." Xu Muchuan nodded lightly, followed behind the eunuch slowly, and walked towards the imperial study.

In the imperial study, the Emperor of the Northern Abyss, Jun Yuyi, has basically rested in the imperial study for the past two years. In the inner courtyard of the harem, the Great Emperor of Beiyuan, Jun Yuyi, rarely stepped on his feet, I don't know if it was because his body was declining, or because there was another reason.

In the imperial study, Xu Muchuan can be said to be the second time he has come here. When he came for the first time, he inexplicably became a chess piece valued by Jun Yuyi and stepped into the court.

Now, Xu Muchuan stepped into the door of the imperial study again. I couldn't help but feel a ripple in my heart, and I always felt a little uncomfortable.

"Adults, please wait a moment, let the villain go to the ceremony." The eunuch was on one side, blocking in front of Xu Muchuan, and said respectfully.

"Hmm." Xu Muchuan naturally knew the etiquette, and stayed quietly at the door, waiting for the news from the imperial study.

After a while, the eunuch walked over quickly and said, "Lord Xu, Your Majesty asked you to come in and talk." ”

So, Xu Muchuan sank into his heart, took the first step, and entered the imperial study.

Xu Muchuan walked slowly towards the inside of the imperial study with ease, and stepped on the floor calmly, as if expressing his seriousness.

Looking at it, Jun Yuyi's figure in a golden dragon robe appeared in Xu Muchuan's eyes, and Jun Yuyi's side was still waiting for the old eunuch who never left.

"Minister, Xu Muchuan, knock on Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

Xu Muchuan walked to the center of the inner hall of the imperial study, quickly knelt on the ground, and shouted.

"Get up!" Hearing Xu Muchuan's kowtow, Jun Yuyi didn't even raise his head and continued to correct the recital, and tapped it casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Muchuan gritted his teeth lightly and slowly stood up.

As the saying goes: a companion is like a tiger.

There is a lot of truth in that.

The corner of Xu Muchuan's eyes kept glancing at Jun Yuyi, who was still correcting and correcting, and he was a little frightened in his heart, and he couldn't guess what Jun Yuyi was thinking.

The palms of his hands were slightly sweaty, and Xu Muchuan couldn't see what was under the expressionless Jun Yuyi's face at all. Therefore, Xu Muchuan could only wait silently in the center of the inner hall, quietly waiting for Jun Yuyi to ask questions.

One minute......

Two minutes......

A quarter of an hour......

Finally, Jun Yuyi put down the pen and ink in his hand and finished correcting today's recital.

"Do you know what I mean by summoning you back to the palace?" Jun Yuyi slowly raised his head, and finally looked at Xu Muchuan, who was standing slightly bowed in front of him.

"The minister knows." Xu Muchuan hesitated for a while, and then bowed his head and said: "The Secretary of Culture and Administration is Your Majesty's confidant and the pillar of the Beiyuan Kingdom. ”

"This is one of them, since I allowed you to take the civil secretary away from the capital at the beginning, naturally there is nothing displeased, but ......" Jun Yuyi sank his voice, patted the table gently, and looked directly at Xu Muchuan: "But you actually secretly arrested the officials and squires of the Ten Cities and put them in prison, do you want to cholera my Beiyuan?" ”

Rumble!

Long Wei was furious, and the luster in the depths of Xu Muchuan's eyes shrank instantly.

"Your Majesty is angry." Immediately afterwards, Xu Muchuan knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "The ministers have received the grace of His Majesty, so that they can have today's scenery, and they will never dare to have the slightest disobedience." ”

"Humph!" Jun Yuyi snorted coldly, and a cold chill filled the entire imperial study: "The officials and squires of the Ten Cities, if they don't handle it well, it will be a disaster for the troubled country." ”

No matter how angry Jun Yuyi scolded, the old eunuch waited beside him and remained motionless, like a stone statue. Perhaps the old eunuch had experienced too many winds and waves, and there was nothing else that could surprise him.

"Your Majesty, is it possible that Your Majesty summoned the ministers into the palace this time to convict the ministers of the crime of rebellion against the country?" Xu Muchuan slowly raised his head, looked directly at Jun Yuyi's dragon face, and asked in a deep voice.

It is said that the royal family is ruthless, and this is true. When Jun Yu Yi set up Xu Muchuan as the minister of the Qin Mission, he gave the sword of the Son of Heaven and threatened to have the right to cut first and then play. Now it seems that as long as Xu Muchuan makes a slight reckless move out of Jun Yuyi's control, I am afraid that it will not be so good to "cut first and then play".

To say that Xu Muchuan is not angry in his heart, it must be impossible. At the beginning, he had no intention of being this minister playing games on the edge of the cliff, if it weren't for Jun Yuyi not giving him half a choice, the ghost would have wanted to live this kind of life when he was eyed by all forces.

The minister, to put it nicely, one person is below ten thousand people. To put it mildly, it's good to survive.

Over the past few days, Xu Muchuan has been assassinated and killed many times, and several times he has brushed shoulders with death. How could Xu Muchuan not have resentment and retreat in his heart?

However, now that he has come to this point, Xu Muchuan has no way to retreat, and can only go all the way to the dark.

I thought that when I returned to Beijing this time, the Emperor of Beiyuan, Jun Yuyi, would ask about this matter at most. Unexpectedly, Jun Yuyi's rebuke was even more vicious, and he was directly convicted of rebellion. Of course, Xu Muchuan was a little dissatisfied.

"What? Isn't what I'm saying right? Facing Xu Muchuan's direct gaze, Jun Yuyi glared, slapped the table angrily, and asked sharply.

"Your Majesty is the son of today, and the power is tilted over Kyushu. His Majesty's remarks are all right in the Beiyuan Kingdom, and of course the minister does not dare to say that it is wrong. Xu Muchuan knelt on the ground, arched his hands in front of him, and responded with a face like sinking water.

"Listening to you, I'm very dissatisfied with me." Jun Yuyi narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly.

"Minister, don't dare." Xu Muchuan took a deep breath and lowered his head and said.

Looking at Xu Muchuan's submerged expression, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in Jun Yuyi's eyes.

"Humph! I'm not in good health today, and I'm discussing tomorrow morning, so step down! Jun Yuyi sank and waved his hand impatiently at Xu Muchuan.

"Yes, Weichen retired."

Instead, Xu Muchuan turned around and left without leaving a moment.
