Chapter 249: Entering the Palace (Part II)
It was late autumn, and the sunlight in the sky was already not very hot, and in the palace walled palace, the sunlight seemed to be weaker and weaker, which made the sunlight shining into the empty heart nourishing hall less, and also made it more unfathomable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Zhen stepped over the high threshold in front of the palace gate, and reported his identity and life in a loud voice like the professor of the little eunuch before: "Yang Zhen knocks on Your Majesty!" As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, and then fell to his knees, and his whole body fell to the ground, looking like he was throwing himself to the ground.
Although it is not as flattering and sensual as shown in some film and television works, Yang Zhen, who has always had the idea of equality for everyone in the future, still feels a little uncomfortable after doing all this, and thinks about whether he can push off the errand in front of him. If you see the emperor every day and want to salute like this, it will be really boring.
If his idea were known, many people would think he was crazy. To have such an opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven is the biggest dream of these of them to be guards, as for being able to see the Son of Heaven every day, I am afraid that anyone will even wake up laughing from a dream.
Seeing the emperor means that you may be able to leave an impression in the emperor's heart. And if you can often face the emperor, it means that you are a close confidant of the emperor, and the future is naturally limitless. Don't look at the current Ming Dynasty or Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao are the masters of the house, but everyone knows that once the little emperor becomes an adult, the country still has to be decided by him. At this time, if you can have a good relationship with the emperor, it is really the wisest investment.
Yang Zhen turned these strange thoughts in his heart, and knelt on the ground, but he didn't hear any movement in front of him, which made him feel a little surprised: "What kind of trouble is this, does the emperor like to see people kneeling like this?" Or is he not here at all? Several times, he had the urge to look up and see what was going on, but he finally endured. On the way here, the little eunuch emphasized that the emperor did not tell him to get up and raise his head when facing the king, and as a courtier, he must not do this, otherwise it would be a crime of defrauding the king.
Fortunately, when Yang Zhen was a little impatient, a slightly immature voice sounded from the front: "Yang Qing is exempt from courtesy, get up and talk back." ”
"Huh......" Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, he finally didn't have to lie on the ground so embarrassed, thinking about this, he completely forgot about thanksgiving, and stood up quickly.
The Emperor seemed to be unimpressed by his faux pas, and only listened to him continue: "Look up and let me see." ”
"Damn, Lao Tzu is not a woman, what do you see me doing?" Thinking of this disrespectful remark in his heart, Yang Zhen still raised his head according to his words and glanced at the Lord of the Present Day, who was sitting behind the dragon case. And just this glance, Yang Zhen was stunned on the spot.
Rao is he thinks that he has a stable heart, and even if he encounters any kind of things, he will not have too many psychological fluctuations, but after seeing the emperor's appearance today, he was still inevitably taken aback, and almost shouted: "Why is he?" ”
This young man who sat behind the imperial case and looked a little tired was actually the young man he had saved in the "Food for Heaven" restaurant on Qipan Street. Although he had only met each other once, and it had been a few months, this person was too distinctive—a bloated and clumsy body, a physical trait rare for a teenager of this age—so he could still recognize him at first sight. Even though he has already changed into a robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon on his body now, giving people a different temperament, it is still difficult to hide his clumsy and bloated figure.
Previously, Yang Zhen only judged that the other party was the son of a wealthy family such as a prince, so he was very different from ordinary gentlemen and nouveau riche in terms of style and dress. Unexpectedly, this is actually the most valuable person in the world, and he is today.
In this way, everything before is clear. Why does his case seem dangerous but he can turn the danger into a disaster, why did he still hear that the Son of Heaven and his subordinates will argue about this case in the court. Just because Wanli himself is one of the parties to the murder case, he naturally wants to stand on Yang Zhen's side.
As for the fact that he was transferred to the palace this time, Yang Zhen originally thought that maybe Feng Bao and the others had some ulterior motives, but now it seems that it should really be the meaning of the young emperor.
Wanli hesitated just now, just because he was thinking about whether Yang Zhen would lose his temper after seeing him. Now that he was really surprised, he couldn't help but be a little nervous while being a little proud: "He won't break the previous things in one bite." If this matter spreads, I am afraid that I will inevitably be punished by Master Zhang and the Queen Mother. He didn't know that Zhang Juzheng had already learned about this matter, but he didn't break it.
But things finally didn't go according to what he was worried about, Yang Zhen was not an ordinary person after all, even if he was surprised by this, he still quickly adjusted his mood and didn't let a word "It's you!" Blurted out.
Seeing that Yang Zhen regained his composure after being surprised, Wanli felt a little calmer, and at the same time valued Yang Zhen a little more: "Yang Qing is really a talent, no wonder I heard that you once dared to kill a knife-wielding murderer in Beijing with your bare hands, and sure enough, the rumors are not boo." In order to avoid possible trouble, he hurriedly spoke first, and at the same time gave Yang Zhen a hint.
Yang Zhen understood it at that time, knowing that the Son of Heaven didn't want others to know that he had left the palace, so he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty praised it falsely, the minister just saw that the road was uneven, and he just made a move, which is really not a credit." ”
Seeing Yang Zhen like this, the smile between Wanli's eyebrows and eyes became a little stronger, and he praised: "Yang Qing is too humble, those who dare to do this must not only be skilled in martial arts, but also have a heart that is not afraid of power, which is not something ordinary people can do." I'm glad that there are people like you in the Jinyi Guard. It is precisely because of your performance that I will deliberately transfer you to the palace, and I will always be by my side. How, Yang Qing, would you like to? ”
The emperor has said this part, and it is impossible for anyone to be flattered and thankful. Yang Zhen was naturally no exception, and hurriedly landed on one knee and bowed his head to thank the emperor for his reuse. In fact, in his heart, there is another plan for this, but it cannot be revealed at this moment.
He has always been thinking about how to deal with Zhang Juzheng, but compared to the high-ranking first assistant of the dynasty, he is too small. And in this world, the only person who has the strength to compete with Zhang Juzheng is the chubby young man in front of him. Therefore, this time it is really the most ideal state to be appreciated by the emperor because of the fate meeting and then transferred to the side as a guard.
"Wang Quan, you have always been in charge of the affairs of the guards around me, you can arrange it for Yang Qing." Wanli saw that Yang Zhen agreed so happily, and his heart was also happy, and he immediately turned his head and instructed the waiter beside him.
Wang Quan was a little stunned at this time, thinking about something, Wanli said this, and it took him a while to react, and he hurriedly responded in a low voice: "The slave and maid will receive the order, and I will arrange it later." ”
If there is anyone around the Son of Heaven who is most unhappy with Yang Zhen's arrival, it is the royal power. It's not that he was jealous of Yang Zhen's deep attention from Wanli, he didn't mean to ask for any benefits in front of the Son of Heaven, otherwise he wouldn't be the eyeliner that Feng Baoan inserted by the Son of Heaven.
But he had already received the news from Feng Bao two days earlier, and this Yang Zhen was also placed in Wanli's eyeliner. At this time, his feelings for Yang Zhen were completely different. When I already have my own close servant as the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, I arranged for such a person to come in, even stupid people know. This is obviously because Gonggong Feng is dissatisfied with his work. Even if they don't mean to change themselves now, at least they can't pay as much attention as before. For an outsider who robs him of his job, the royal power will naturally have a lot of hostility.
Yang Zhen didn't know that he had already formed such an inexplicable rivalry when he entered the palace, and he was very polite to thank the royal power, but he only received the other party's indifference, which made him a little confused, could it be that the battle in the harem was not only limited to those concubines and concubines, but even the eunuchs and guards had to participate in it?
Wanli didn't notice this undercurrent, he still looked at Yang Zhen with interest: "Yang Qing, I heard that you are quite good at martial arts, when will you be free, how about you practice to open my eyes?" He has always remembered the scene of Yang Zhen killing the widow with his bare hand in the restaurant that day, and every time he thinks about it, he feels his blood boiling, and he is naturally extremely envious of Yang Zhen's ability.
Yang Zhen knew that this was a young man's common admiration for the strong, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty ordered, the minister naturally did not dare to spoil the fun." But ......" said a meal.
"But what?" Wanli asked a little nervously.
"However, what the ministers have learned is mostly to kill and injure the enemy as the first priority, if it is really just a drill, I am afraid it will not be too exciting." Yang Zhen said truthfully. Indeed, his martial arts have always been a mixture of dexterity and ruthlessness, and his power can only be seen when he fights between life and death.
"That's fine, I'll just order someone to fight you when the time comes." Wanli smiled disapprecitatively.
Although the Son of Heaven has a great affection for Yang Zhen and is also very curious, he has too many things to do after all. Now it's just a matter of meeting him at the end of the early dynasty, and he will listen to Zhang Juzheng's lecture next, so he can only send Yang Zhen away.
Maybe this meeting will be nothing to Yang Zhen, it will only be a quarter of an hour. But for the rest of the palace, it was already a great event. Except for a few cabinet ministers and six scholars, which minister can be summoned by the emperor like this, and it takes a quarter of an hour to talk? And this person is just a new palace guard, which is even more eye-catching.
Yang Zhen, who retired from the Self-Nourishing Heart Palace, didn't know that he had become the focus of attention of many people.
