044. Enter the palace
Half a month later, the office hall of the trial court.
Liu Changhuan walked in from outside the door of the office hall and arched his hand: "Little young master, the eunuch Kang Ruohai Kang in the palace is here." ”
Anwar, who was looking down at the official document, raised his eyelids slightly and asked lightly, "What is he doing?" ”
Before the words fell, Eunuch Kang walked in from outside the door and said respectfully: "Dean Anwar, the emperor asked the servants to pass on the message, saying that he wants you to enter the palace." ”
Anwar raised his eyebrows and wondered, "When will you enter the palace?" ”
Eunuch Kang replied, "The emperor said that he would go with the servants immediately." ”
"Do you know why the emperor suddenly summoned me to the palace?"
Eunuch Kang smiled and said, "Dean Anhua, you have forgotten that when you first took office, the servant once told you that the emperor was quite interested in the powerful true qi power in your body, and hoped that you would enter the palace when you were free." ”
Anwar raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Since the emperor said that he was free, then I will go when I am free." ”
"Dean Anwar, the word has been issued, and I hope that the dean will not disobey."
Anwar was silent for a long time, and muttered: "That's it, since it is the emperor's will, I am afraid that disobeying the will will will cost my Anwar's life." ”
Anwar stood up from the table, followed Eunuch Kang out of the court, got into the carriage, and went to the palace together.
Imperial Palace, Gwanghwa Hall.
"The minister is guilty, the emperor spares his life!"
Before the two of them entered the Guanghua Palace, they saw a trembling courtier in the hall kneeling in front of the emperor and begging for mercy outside the palace gate.
The emperor said coldly: "The order goes down, and the twelve places of the Taiwan Imperial Court will sponsor Lu Zhan to fornicate with the harem concubines, and ask for beheading at noon on the same day, and Shen Shi will be beheaded all over the house." ”
As soon as the words fell, two guards walked in outside the door, and one of them grabbed one arm and dragged down the twelve main roads of the Taiwan Academy.
"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life.........."
The emperor continued: "Pass the order, Concubine Bai, fornicate with the courtiers, and slash and kill them with knives on the same day, and her daughter Princess Yongyue will be given poisoned wine to death." ”
"Yes." Eunuch Kang's little attendant, Eunuch Fan, replied and hurriedly retreated to deliver his will.
Anwar said in his heart: The 12 directors of the Taiwan Academy were still giving me gifts half a month ago, and they were executed not long after, but fortunately, they confiscated the gold, silver, and silk silk at the beginning, otherwise the crime of bribery would make me die now.
After Lu Zhan was dragged down, Eunuch Kang took Anhua into the hall and saluted: "Your Majesty, the slave has brought Dean Anhua here." ”
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Stand down." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Eunuch Kang retreated, the emperor raised his eyelids and said, "You also retreat." ”
Several maidservants in the hall answered in unison, and then retreated one after another.
There are only two people left in the Guanghua Palace, the emperor holds his cheek in his right hand, and says with a calm expression: "One of my courtiers asked about the beheading at noon today because of his fornication with the concubines in the palace, what do you think of this matter?" ”
Anwar thought for a moment and replied: "Anwar once carefully read the Nanyue Law Volume, Law 381: If a concubine in the palace fornicates with a courtier, the concubine should be chopped to death with a knife and disposed of on the street, and the courtiers should be dealt with by killing the head and beheading the whole house. ”
The emperor raised his eyelids and said indifferently: "Yes, it seems that you are quite interested in being the dean, but I have heard that you are not willing to take office. ”
Anwar secretly thought in his heart, and pretended to be calm: "Back to the emperor, Anwar was not unwilling to take office before, but at that time, Anwar had just returned from Qingming Mountain, he was not sophisticated, and he had never had official experience, so he was afraid that he would not be qualified for the position of dean, so he did not take office for a long time. ”
The emperor smiled faintly, glanced at Anwar and said, "Is that really the case?" ”
Anwar's heart tightened, and he lied: "Anwar has no half a lie. ”
The emperor didn't speak for a long time, and Anwar's heart was hot: The emperor wouldn't be unbelieving, right?
When he arrived, the emperor slowly stood up, walked to the tea table and sat down, and said, "Come here, sit down." ”
Anwar frowned, and shirked: "The minister doesn't dare." ”
"I let you sit, and you sit."
When Anwar heard this, he had to sit down opposite the emperor.
After a moment of silence, the emperor said, "You pour me a bowl of tea." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Anwar picked up the teapot on the table, poured a bowl of tea into the tea bowl, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has poured it."
The emperor seemed to be a little satisfied with a slight smile, Anwar began to relax, suddenly, the emperor's eyes opened, and the palm of his right hand quickly slashed towards Anwar's chest, the defenseless Anwar, the dormant power in his body was suddenly excited, and a powerful breath burst out from his body, and his right hand hit the emperor's palm back, and two palms hit each other in a flash.
Anwar came back to his senses, and saw that the person in front of him was the emperor, so he deliberately withdrew the sixth-level powerful true qi that was about to burst out, and lowered it to two levels, and his strength was just equal to the emperor.
In a hurry, Anwar frowned, and said in his heart: The person in front of me is the emperor, should I lose or win?
When he hesitated, the emperor's body suddenly exerted force, pushed hard, Anwar took advantage of this time to quickly reduce his strength, "bang", a palm slashed Anwar's chest, Anwar was knocked to the ground.
Anwar, who fell to the ground, pretended to look at the emperor in surprise, and the emperor laughed out loud and said, "Anwar, I originally thought that you would study with Cheng Zhiyou for nine years, and your strength would be amazing, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that, but I overestimate you too much." ”
Anwar stood up, knelt down and said, "Anwar is not capable, please forgive the emperor." ”
"Huh." The Emperor smiled faintly, "Get up, I don't mean to blame you. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." With the emperor's permission, Anwar stood up.
"Go back to your seat and sit down."
"Yes."
After Anwar returned to his seat and sat down, the emperor slowly spoke: "I still remember that nine years ago, my eighth prince came to me when he was injured and wanted me to cure your sin. ”
Anwar said in his heart: Could it be that the emperor called me to come this time to settle the old accounts of the year?
Anwar was at a loss for a while, but he didn't expect the emperor to continue to speak slowly: "Back then, I blamed you. ”
Anwar finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Majesty, Anwar has been stubborn since he was a child, and he has caused a lot of trouble, and it is reasonable for the Eighth Emperor to admit the wrong person. ”
"Anwar, how is Cheng Zhiyou doing all these years?"
"Back to the emperor, everything is fine Master."
"I still remember that when he entered the palace to resign from me more than 20 years ago, I was a little reluctant to let him leave his job, but in the end he left, and the trial court has been in decline for more than 20 years.
The Emperor then said slowly: "I will go hunting one day, and I will take you with me when the time comes." ”
