Of course, Xia Sheng had met Zhao Gonggong, and he had met him twice.

The first time was when the Qin family was competing, when Gonggong Zhao came to watch the ceremony on behalf of Emperor Jin, he sat on the main stage and sat at the bottom of Qin Xiaohua.

The second time was when the Spring and Autumn Academy was recruiting, although Xia Sheng did not greet the arrival of Zhao Gonggong and other distinguished guests on the front lawn of the academy with Tang Zi'an, but after the opening of the mountain guarding array, Xia Sheng was summoned by His Majesty, and Zhao Gonggong stood behind the old emperor at that time.

But it was not until this moment that Xia Sheng finally knew that this old eunuch, who was deeply favored by the current emperor, was originally surnamed Zhao.

Speaking of Gonggong Zhao, it can indeed be regarded as a legend in the forbidden courtyard of the palace.

Legend has it that he entered the palace at the age of three, and at the beginning, he was just an inconspicuous little guy in the imperial dining room, but he didn't know why, but he was able to be the emperor who was still a prince at that time, and he was asked to be by his side as a companion.

At that time, it seemed that this nameless little eunuch really soared into the sky.

But who would have thought that this was just the beginning.

Later, when Emperor Jin was twenty years old, he went to the deer park to hunt, and was almost injured by a mad white ape, and it was this little eunuch who saved his life at a critical moment.

So since then, there has been one less companion by Emperor Jin's side, and one more eunuch in front of the palace in the Jinluan Palace.

Later, with the death of Emperor Gaozong on the way to the Northern Expedition and the accession of Emperor Jin, this little eunuch who has always been called "Agui" finally has a real surname, and it is the most prominent surname in the Dajin Dynasty.

It is more expensive than the surnames of the nine families.

People began to call him "Zhao Gonggong", and this Zhao Gonggong was finally promoted to the position of the chief eunuch, overseeing the daily affairs of the entire palace.

Today, he has served Emperor Jin for nearly two hundred years.

Even if all the years that Xia Sheng IX has lived are added together, there is no longevity of this Zhao Gonggong!

And this. It also illustrates at least one problem.

This Gonggong Zhao is definitely a genuine cultivator!

This thing does sound a bit unbelievable, ordinary people want to step into the long path of cultivation and it is difficult, let alone a eunuch with physical defects?

But on the contrary, Zhao Gonggong did it.

Although to this day, no one knows what kind of realm Zhao Gonggong is. Whether it is martial cultivation or spiritual cultivation, or rather, everyone who has seen Zhao Gonggong's action is dead, but no one dares to underestimate this loyal slave who has been with Emperor Jin all the year round.

It is said that cultivation is cultivation time, for example, Qin Xiaohua, the ancestor of the Qin family, if it is really about talent, I am afraid that it is less than one thousandth of Xia Sheng, but he lived two hundred and eighteen years old, longer than the vast majority of people in this world. The realm of strength is naturally higher than that of the vast majority of people in this world.

What's more, Gonggong Zhao has been with the king for two hundred years, and he has all the cultivation resources of the entire Dajin Dynasty, no matter how poor his talent is, even if he just relies on heaven and earth treasures to pile up, it is enough to pile up an emperor-level powerhouse!

However, those who are familiar with Zhao Gonggong know that this is actually a very easy-going old man. With a warm smile on his face, he is not bullied as an emperor's close attendant. There is no condescension as a strong cultivator.

For example, when Gonggong Zhao saw Qin Xiaohua and Xia Sheng at this time, his face blossomed, and he said again and again: "Oh, isn't this Lord Qin and Lord Xiaoxia? ”

Qin Xiaohua seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and responded with a smile: "Okay, Agui." It's so raw in front of me, it's rude. ”

Zhao Gonggong's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, he stepped forward and grabbed Qin Xiaohua's arm, and said with a smile: "You are really, if you are tired." Call the old slave to say, look at our Lord Xiaoxia is tired, come, let the old slave carry you away, let Lord Xiaoxia rest......"

I don't know why, at this moment, Xia Sheng instinctively wanted to avoid Zhao's thin palm, but he still couldn't dodge it after all.

It wasn't because Gonggong Zhao's hand was too fast, but because Qin Xiaohua crossed a trace of dark energy into Xia Sheng's waist, causing his body to stagnate in place.

Immediately after, Xia Sheng heard Qin Xiaohua make a teasing sound from his mouth.

"Go, I'm not old enough to get this far, I'm just joking with Lord Xiaoxia, don't hurt you for a while, I can't explain it to Your Majesty. ”

When the words fell, Gonggong Zhao also retracted his hand, and then asked with a smile: "Oh, you see that I am an old fool, Lord Qin entered the palace this time to see the driver, right?

Qin Xiaohua smiled and shook her head: "It's not that I can't find a place, look at the food box you are carrying, you are going to say hello to the queen's mother, you are busy with yours, wait for a while to talk to Your Majesty, and then we will talk about it well." ”

Gonggong Zhao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "That's fine, then the old slave won't delay the two adults, and retire first." ”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng also bowed his head slightly, until he saw Zhao Gonggong disappear in front of him, then he lowered his voice and said to Qin Xiaohua as if he had a deep meaning: "This Zhao Gonggong, it's not simple......"

Qin Xiaohua was noncommittal about this, but solemnly told Xia Sheng one thing.

"No matter what happens in the future, and whether you will participate in the party struggle or not, you only need to keep one thing in mind, this Zhao Gonggong cannot be bought by anyone, nor can he be biased towards any camp, he will always be the person of His Majesty today, remember!"

Xia Sheng's eyes were slightly pale, but this was not a good hall, nor was it Lao Di's teahouse, so it was inconvenient to say a lot of words, so he just nodded lightly: "I know." ”

After Zhao's delay, Xia Sheng seemed unhurried, not purely because he lacked reverence for Emperor Jin, but because Qin Xiaohua immediately explained to him: "Don't be in such a hurry, Your Majesty knows that I am walking slowly." ”

Xia Sheng thought about it, it was true, so he was not so urgent, anyway, if he went early, he would have to wait for Emperor Jin to come back from the East Palace.

For Xia Sheng, it is better to see more flowers and plants in this palace forbidden garden.

But no matter how slow Qin Xiaohua walked, there would always be a time when this road to the imperial study would end.

Ten zhang away from the imperial study, Xia Sheng had already put Qin Xiaohua off his back, and the two of them walked forward together with steps not much faster than a snail.

But he never thought that Xia Sheng had just walked to the gate of the imperial study, and he encountered a young man blocking the road.

He bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice, "Sir." ”

Xia Sheng had never seen this person, but he knew who he was at the first time, so he raised his hand with a smile and said a word to Qin Xiaohua.

In the life of the crown prince Zhao Haoyu, until the last moment before his death, he still remembered what Xia Sheng said.

Even if that sentence was actually said to Qin Xiaohua.

Xia Sheng said: "Old Qin, this is the person who wanted to kill me in Osmanthus Lane that day. ”
