"Bell~Bell~Bell~"

Above the imperial city, there was a melodious bell

"Your Majesty is invited, all of you have come to the court for a banquet," a messenger came to report.

"Tian'er, you have to be careful at the banquet later," Long Xiande advised.

"Got it, uncle" Xiao Tian nodded.

Together with everyone, after a long corridor, I finally came to the Taihe Palace, which was the palace of the early dynasty of the Yongle Emperor.

The central hall, resplendent gold, the glazed top is inlaid with purple jade gold, eighteen golden pillars, stand straight and straight on the main hall, carve eighteen dragons that only circle, the stone wall is carved with murals, the double dragon plays with pearls, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, lifelike.

In the center, hundreds of spirit stone desk seats were placed, and then everyone sat on their seats, Xiao Tian naturally sat with Long Xiande. Subsequently, several familiar figures also slowly entered the main hall, and the crown prince Xuanye, the fourth prince Xuankong, the ninth prince Xuanzang, and other princes also sat down

"Your Majesty has arrived," the eunuch shouted.

Above the court, thousands of people immediately bent down to salute, which was regarded as welcoming the emperor

"Fortunately, this place is not a three-kneeling and nine-knocking, otherwise, Lao Tzu would not serve" Xiao Tian bent over, his eyes fluttered, and finally saw the true face of Emperor Yongle in Lushan

Dressed in a golden huáng-colored dragon robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, straight facial features, and between gestures, it is full of coercion, which is the aura that comes with being in a high position all year round

"All Aiqing, get up" Emperor Yongle waved his hand to signal everyone to take their seats

"This year, it is the 372nd birthday of the orphan, thank you for being able to come to celebrate the birthday of the orphan. Emperor Yongle said in a condensed voice.

"Your Majesty is blessed with heaven, immortal blessings are enjoyed forever, and longevity is with heaven," the ministers replied in unison.

"Now, in the turbulent autumn of integrity, all forces are eyeing us, and I hope you can fully assist and jointly protect the ancestors of the country," Emperor Yongle said loudly.

"We shall do our best to assist Your Majesty," replied the ministers.

"Good, good, good" Emperor Yongle nodded with satisfaction, his eyes locked on Xiao Tian, his eyes were full of curiosity.

A few days ago, the entire continent was boiling, and the Seven Peaks Sword Sect defeated the Futu Palace, beheaded the three Venerables, and made the Futu Hall hurt its muscles and bones

Outsiders don't know the role that Xiao Tian played in it, but Lin Zifeng in the war definitely knew that Xiao Tian's strategy and courage Lin Zifeng had already understood, so the Yongle Emperor, as a descendant of the lineage, naturally knew it.

This time, the Yongle Emperor also received the instruction of the old pavilion master of Qingfeng Pavilion to befriend the Seven Peaks Sword Sect and not have any conflicts with them for the time being

"You are Xiao Tian" Emperor Yongle squinted his eyes and stared at Xiao Tian, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. When paying tribute to Lin Chen, Emperor Yongle had already learned about Xiao Tian's skill and age from the Qingfeng Pavilion, but he was still a little surprised to see it in person.

"Back to Your Majesty, I am Xiao Tian" Xiao Tian replied without being humble or arrogant.

"Sure enough, the young hero, not only the martial arts superman, but also the literary brilliance, three years ago on the bank of the Pujiang River, the pictures you left behind can definitely be widely circulated" Emperor Yongle nodded slightly, his eyes were full of appreciation.

"Your Majesty praised it falsely, I just danced and wrote, and I couldn't get into the hall of elegance" Xiao Tian smiled and replied.

Emperor Yongle nodded, and said slowly, "You don't have to be arrogant, if your writing is not elegant, then how can this Manchu Dynasty civil and military deal with themselves, those couplets are said to be works of the ages, and it is not too bad to be frozen in the water, ice and snow, and the fog in the air is cloudy, and the clouds are open, and the smoke lock pond willow is against the cannon town Haicheng Tower, the lonely cold window is empty and widowed to the handsome and beautiful woman, wonderful, wonderful."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment," Xiao Tian bowed his hand.

"By the way, Xiao Tian, I'm going to ask you, do you have the intention to be an official" Emperor Yongle looked at Xiao Tian with expectant eyes.

Emperor Yongle did it simply, but in the eyes of others, this matter became complicated, and the other bureaucrats above the court frowned, and some of their eyes were full of excitement, each playing with ghosts

On the one hand, there is the Seven Peaks Sword Sect standing behind Xiao Tian, which naturally has the meaning of wooing, on the other hand, Xiao Tian is the quasi-son-in-law of Duke Long, and Duke Long is the representative of the neutral forces, His Majesty is warning the two forces not to fight too hard

A smile leaked from the corner of Xiao Tian's mouth, and he replied, "Your Majesty, I am a rough man in the mountains and fields, and I have no rules, but I can't stand the constraints of the court, and I am afraid that I will break the rules."

Hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared in the eyes of Emperor Yongle, and it disappeared in a flash, then he smiled and said loudly, "Xiao Tian, you don't look down on this worldly official position."

Hearing this, Xiao Tian was slightly stunned, since he knew the organizational structure of this world, he really didn't look down on secular power, but the other party was embarrassed to refuse in person, after all, his father-in-law was still working under others, and he originally wanted to find a step, but he didn't expect to be picked out by Emperor Yongle himself

Looking at Xiao Tian's appearance, Sima Guoshi gave Zhu Yichen a look. Zhu Yichen comprehended, a fine light leaked from his eyes, and he hurriedly stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play, Xiao Tian faced His Majesty's reward, not only did not thank him, but also deliberately shirked, hoping that His Majesty would cure him of the crime of bullying the king."

"Your Majesty, the ministers also want to participate in the Xiao Tianmu House Saint, there is no emperor's grace, please give your Majesty death, in order to shock the little people"

"Seconded by the Minister"

"The minister also seconded the proposal"

Brush brush, dozens of ministers stood up.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Xiao Tian was slightly stunned, and 10,000 grass and mud horses roared past in his heart, "I haven't spoken much, are you going to punish me for capital crimes?"

Emperor Yongle frowned slightly, a trace of unhappiness appeared in his heart, and then he grinned, "Xiao Tian is a monk, he is casual by nature, and he is innocent."

"Your Majesty, by all means, Xiao Tian must be punished, if it is not lawful, everyone will use ignorance as an excuse in the future, where is the etiquette law, the etiquette is not there, and the country will not be a country" Lord Liu, the minister of imperial history, said sharply.

Seeing this, the fourth prince Xuankong was overjoyed, and he was finally able to find Xiao Tian's eyebrows, but he was stopped by Sima Guoshi's eyes

Emperor Yongle glanced at it indifferently, ignored the imperial history Liu, and continued, "Xiao Tian, how do you want to as long as you enter the court as an official, you can enjoy the treatment of the prince of Zhengyipin, and you don't accept any restraint on that imperial history, I will leave it to you to dispose of."

Hearing this, the Minister of Imperial History chuckled in his heart, his face was full of panic, and he immediately cast a look of help to Sima Guoshi.

And Sima Guoshi, with an expressionless face, as if he hadn't seen it s:
