Chu Huan followed the Tongshi Sheren Shui Lian into the front of the Hall of Light, and first had to go through the inspection of the guards, from top to bottom, only did not turn over Chu Huan's bottom. pants, after entering, through the guards, and was checked three times, each time it was extremely strict, Chu Huan really understood at this time how difficult it was to get close to the emperor, and if he wanted to enter the palace to assassinate the emperor, it was even more of a fool's dream, not to mention whether he could enter the palace after many inspections, and whether he would get lost in the intricate palace group when he entered the palace, only that even if he arrived at the Hall of Light, even if he had a needle on his body, it would be impossible to enter the Hall of Light through the guards.

Chu Huan was suspicious of Grandpa Shui's true intention to let him bathe and change his clothes at this time, whether the emperor's will was really to get rid of the so-called "cheesiness", or to use this method to conduct an inspection before entering the palace?

There is a magnificent main hall in the Guangming Palace, Chu Huan thought that he would meet in the main hall at first, but when he arrived at the main hall, there was no one, but he passed under the jade corridor on the side of the main hall, and turned to a slightly smaller hall behind the main hall. At first glance, he looks like a Taoist, but he has a golden crown on his head, jeweled and shining.

At the four corners of the jade platform, there are four bronze carvings, a dragon head, a green crane, a turtle, a unicorn, four bronze carvings are exquisitely carved, made of pure copper, but the mouth is filled with green smoke, Chu Huan smelled the fragrance of sandalwood from a distance, and knew that the four bronze carvings were abnormal incense burners.

Under the jade platform, there are a few people sitting cross-legged on the left and right, the pool is quiet, the sandalwood is curling, but the hall is very quiet for a while, these people are like practicing meditation in the main hall, there is really a bit of quiet and elegant taste, there is still a distance from that side, the water father-in-law poked out the dust to make Chu Huan stop, and he bowed forward, to the edge of the jade platform, before kneeling down and saying: "Qi Qi Sheng, Chu Huan has arrived, and he is waiting!" ”

Only then did Chu Huan determine that the person wearing a Taoist robe and a golden crown on the jade platform was the emperor Yingyuan.

The emperor was expressionless, and said lightly: "Xuan! ”

Chu Huan stepped forward and knelt down to pay respects, and the emperor had already said lightly: "Flat!" He was peaceful, over sixty years old, and his hair was white, but his eyes were still bright.

After Chu Huan thanked him, he stood up, but he didn't look up according to Grandpa Shui's previous instructions, but he could feel that the ministers sitting cross-legged on both sides seemed to be looking at him.

"Chu Huan, Liu Yao was killed by you?" The emperor did not talk nonsense, he was straight to the point, and although his voice was old, it carried a solemn majesty.

Chu Huan didn't expect that the emperor would ask him like this as soon as he came up, and arched his hand: "The minister is rude, I don't know who Liu Yao is." ”

As soon as his words fell, someone next to him already sneered: "Bold, little Wujing guard, dare to call yourself a minister?" ”

Chu Huan frowned, stretched out instantly, turned his head to look, and saw that the person who reprimanded him was an old man in his fifties, and from the official uniform, he was an important minister of the court.

"He who does not know is not guilty." The emperor said calmly: "Zhou Nayan, Chu Huan first entered the palace, he didn't understand the rules, and he didn't have to be serious. ”

Several courtiers on the side of the jade platform were stunned, but they didn't expect the emperor to suddenly become so accessible, you must know that the emperor's temperament is very different from what he used to be, he must be extremely cautious in speaking and doing things in front of the emperor, even if he says a wrong word, or does a wrong action, his life is in danger, Chu Huan came up and lost his words, the courtiers reprimanded, but the emperor exonerated him, which is extremely rare.

The emperor glanced to the side, and a eunuch who was waiting not far away immediately bowed down and stepped forward, still holding the file in his hand, the emperor took it, looked at it casually a few times, and then looked at Chu Huan and said, "It turns out that you have done a lot." ”

Chu Huan didn't know what the emperor meant, and he didn't dare to say anything, although this hall was magnificent, Chu Huan felt that the air around him was invisibly squeezing towards him, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

He is not a timid person, but no matter how bold a person is, in such an environment, facing the emperor of the empire, he will be nervous after all, Chu Huan is also flesh and blood after all, and it is natural for him to be nervous when he enters the palace to meet the emperor for the first time.

"King Qi was once assassinated, and it was you who rescued him from danger." The emperor looked at the dossier, did not raise his head, and his voice was calm: "Zhao Guangqing, the governor of Tongzhou, rebelled, and the Tongzhou camp mutinied, it was you and Lin Bing who entered the camp to stabilize the Tongzhou camp, and it was you who took Zhao Guangqing...... The thief of Tianshu Country, Liu Yao, is hiding in the capital, and it is you who killed Liu Yao......! When he said this, he raised his head and looked at Chu Huan, his expression was still very calm, and said: "Every credit is a great achievement, it seems that your true facts are not ......!" ”

Chu Huan didn't expect that the records in that file were all his own affairs, and he was a little surprised, it seemed that before the emperor summoned him, someone had already collected his own situation for the emperor to read.

Chu Huan felt that this dossier was the handwriting of Shen Yiwei.

He didn't know if there were other things recorded in the dossier, but he was sure that the assassination of the colt must not be in the dossier, otherwise he would not be in this temple of light now.

Several courtiers on the edge of the jade platform were a little surprised, looking at each other, the emperor suddenly summoned Chu Huan, not many people knew in advance, in fact, these people naturally did not have the heart to understand a little person like Chu Huan, and they were still wondering why His Majesty the Emperor summoned such an unknown little person, at this time, listening to the emperor's words, I knew that this seemingly inconspicuous young man in front of him had made a lot of contributions.

A tall and thin official had already said respectfully: "True Monarch, could it be that Liu Yao, who fled and lost his whereabouts in the Tianshu Kingdom, is already dead?" ”

Chu Huan was wondering in his heart who the "True Monarch" in the mouth of this official was, but he heard that the emperor had already said: "Yes, more than 20 years ago, the Tianshu Kingdom was destroyed, but Liu Yao fled like a mouse and did not know his whereabouts, and there was no news for more than 20 years. I know that if he were alive, he would never forget me, and I have not forgotten him for so many years. It's just that I didn't expect that he would hide under my nose, but it's okay to do this, he will die under my nose in the end, just like his old son! ”

The tall and thin official immediately said: "The true monarch's Taoism is boundless, even if Liu Yao escapes to the ends of the earth, he will not escape from the palm of the true monarch." I think it's Zhenjun who is now a great Taoist, Puze Beijing, and rats like Liu Yao can't accommodate it, so he jumped out, although it was killed by Chu Huan, but it was caused by Zhenjun's Taoism, congratulations to Zhenjun, congratulations to Zhenjun! ”

This person spoke very explicitly, flattering, Chu Huan saw that this person was wearing an official uniform and had a very high level, and he only felt that such a high-ranking person would be even more disgusting than ordinary people when he said such flattering words.

He didn't like to hear such words, but the emperor seemed to be very useful, and said with a smile on his face: "The Taoism is boundless, if you want to achieve great success, it's not easy to talk about, Lin Aiqing, don't talk nonsense." ”

Lin Aiqing, a tall and thin official, said with sincerity: "Zhenjun, it is you who blame, and the minister has to say that every time the minister meets Zhenjun, he can feel that Zhenjun's Taoism is expanding boundlessly. He leaned forward and said, "Zhenjun's complexion is like spring, full of the aura of Shinto, just a few days ago, the minister's old mother turned the corner because of the true monarch's Dao qi!" ”

The emperor let out an "oh" and said curiously: "How do you talk about this?" ”

Lin Dadao: "The minister has never dared to play, in fact, the minister's old mother had a serious illness a month ago, and when she looked at the doctor, she said that the limit was approaching......!" ”

The emperor said, "I haven't heard you mention it! ”

"The true monarch visits the Tao, and he has to take care of every opportunity, and the minister doesn't want to affect state affairs because of his mother's illness." Lord Lin's eyes turned red, "The minister knows the true king's benevolent heart, and if he knows that his mother is seriously ill, it will definitely affect the way of worship, so the minister has no performance." ”

The Emperor asked, "How is she now?" ”

Lord Lin's originally sad expression suddenly became excited, and said: "The doctor said that his mother is powerless to return to the sky, and the deadline is approaching, and the minister was originally disheartened, but last time the true monarch gave the minister a box of red dates, and the minister took it home and fed it to his mother and ate two, originally I wanted my mother and the minister to bathe in the holy grace together, who knows ......!" When he said this, his face was bright, but he paused.

The Emperor seemed very curious and asked, "How?" ”

"I know that my mother ate the red dates given by the true monarch, and after two days, she was able to get up and walk, and after three days, she has returned to normal." Lord Lin said excitedly: "Only then did the minister know that the red dates given by the true monarch are not food, but a life-saving panacea!" ”

Chu Huan heard it from the sidelines, although he didn't have any expression on his face, his heart was sneering, this Lord Lin could even tell such a ridiculous story, and his voice was full of emotion, it was really shameless.

After hearing this, the emperor laughed instead, looking very proud, and said, "Lin Aiqing, aren't you talking nonsense?" ”

"Don't dare!" Lord Lin said solemnly: "What the minister said, every sentence is true, the true monarch can send someone to investigate, if the minister has a word of deception, it is the crime of deceiving the king, and it should be copied and beheaded." ”

Chu Huan sighed and thought secretly: "Even if the emperor really sends someone to investigate, I'm afraid that no one will report the truth." You can certainly buy those who inspect it, but even if you don't, how dare those people say that it is false? If you tell the emperor that this matter is false, it is to deny the emperor's supernatural powers, but I am afraid that the person who verifies the performance will be unlucky, as long as you are smart, anyone can think of its tricks, who dares to say that what this Lord Lin said is false? ”

The emperor stroked his beard and said: "It may not be my supernatural powers, maybe it is your mother's blessing!" ”

"If that's the case, the minister doesn't dare to determine." Lin Dadao: "On the eighth day after my mother took the red dates, I suddenly had a dream at night, and I dreamed that a fairy wearing a golden crown talked to her, telling my mother that my mother's life limit had arrived, but the golden crown fairy borrowed a few years of time from the sky and gave it to her. Speaking of this, Lord Lin looked at the golden crown on the emperor's head and looked excited, "The minister is puzzled, let my mother draw the golden crown of the dream fairy......!" He took out a picture scroll from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said, "Really king, look! ”

A eunuch next to him came up to take the scroll and presented it to the emperor, who took it and opened it, looked at it, and laughed: "Isn't this my golden crown?" ”

Lord Lin bowed to the ground and said in a loud voice: "Exactly, the minister only knew at that time that the true monarch's true body was the immeasurable true monarch of the Great Benevolence Holy Dao, and it was the true monarch who turned the danger into safety, and it was the true monarch's gift!" ”

As soon as Lord Lin finished speaking, a long-faced official immediately bowed to the ground: "The minister sees the immeasurable true monarch of the Great Benevolence Holy Dao!" ”

Several other courtiers looked at each other, and although their eyes had different looks, they all bowed to the ground after all: "Ministers, see the immeasurable true monarch of the Great Benevolence Holy Dao!" ”
