There are no eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and the palace is dominated by female officials.

However, the power of female officials cannot overflow outside the palace, so their power is much smaller than that of eunuchs.

Without eunuchs, all the people who sang in the palace were women, and most of those who could serve as facades were noble women.

Therefore, Zhou Bei didn't dare to look around, and could only admire this heavy palace with his spare eyes.

"Xuan ......"

With a faint voice in the hall, a clear voice sounded again. "Xuanjin Yiwei calmed Huo Yi, and Zhou Bei saw the ......"

The same slogan was sounded three times, the last time when a female officer at the door sang loudly.

Huo Yi took the lead, and Zhou Bei followed behind him and didn't dare to look up, chased his figure, walked up the steps, and entered the main hall.

Huo Yi entered the hall, and as soon as he took three steps, he stopped, like an inverted pillar of golden bells, and knelt down on one knee. "Chen Huo Yi greets Your Majesty!"

Zhou Bei almost hit him all at once, staggered to his feet, and knelt down on his knees. "Xiaomin Zhou Bei greets Your Majesty."

The Ming Dynasty canceled the daily kneeling worship from the Gaozu period, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty only knelt to the heavens and the earth, and knelt to their fathers and ancestors.

Even if you see the emperor ordinarily, it is already okay to bow and behave.

However, it was the first time that Zhou Bei saw the emperor alone, and it was etiquette to kneel on both knees.

A loud voice came. "Excuse me, get up."

Huo Yi got up, Zhou Bei followed him up, and still didn't dare to raise his head.

Yu Guang looked over and found that there were long rows of sofas around him, the sofas were opposite each other, and the coffee table was in the middle.

The sofa is very long, and there are no tails in sight, and there are several of them on the coffee table alone.

"Huo Zhenfu is close to see the driver, and Zhou Zaiheng is waiting in the waiting area."

Huo Yi's figure walked forward and disappeared from the afterglow, Zhou Bei was a little stunned for a while, and he didn't know whether to go to the sofa and take a seat.

At this time, a middle-aged female official came to Zhou Bei's side. "Zhou is in the moment."

"Exactly down there."

"Please come and take a seat, no need to be polite, as long as you don't break the rules and feel comfortable."

"Yes."

Zhou Bei raised her head, didn't dare to look around, she stood on her left hand side to guide, and sat down on the sofa facing inward.

At this time, he saw the panorama clearly, and he had not yet entered it.

The regulation of Wuying Hall was still built during the Taizu period, with five rooms wide and three rooms deep, but what pattern is inside, Zhou Bei does not know.

Now sitting in the waiting area, the left and right sides are L-shaped, two rows of sofas outside, and a total of twelve coffee tables in the middle.

There is a wooden partition facing the main hall, so you can't see the inside clearly.

He could see it where he knelt down just now, but now of course he didn't dare to wander around at will, and could only see from an open angle that there was a thick pillar inside, carved with exquisite patterns.

The eaves of the roof are carved and hollowed out everywhere, which is gorgeous and abnormal.

The middle-aged palace maid waited for Zhou Bei to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Can you ask for some drinks and snacks, Your Majesty wants to have lunch with you, it may take a long time." ”

Zhou Bei nodded. She asked, "But what's the entrance taboo?" ”

"In the next year, I have been using Dongzhou ginseng to assist in cultivation for many years, and I can't drink tea, and there is no taboo about anything else."

She smiled and nodded. "Wait."

She got up to leave, but in the waiting area on the mezzanine floor of the main hall, there were still four palace maids waiting, and they looked extraordinary.

If it was before, the emperor could do whatever he wanted to the palace maids.

But now, the façade and palace maids in the palace are all the children of nobles, most of whom are related to the royal family, and the emperor does not dare to provoke them casually.

The emperor's concubines can only have nine, at most one more place, and there is no name yet.

If you touch a relative's daughter, maybe the seniority is grandma, maybe the seniority is granddaughter, and you have to give a name, isn't it a mess!

So even though the emperor is known for being "lustful", the palace is also peaceful.

Zhou Bei didn't dare to look casually, there were many noble palace maids, dukes, and earls who could enter the palace on duty, and all of them had extraordinary family backgrounds, which was not something he could provoke casually.

A few minutes later, two palace maids each came in with a tray behind the middle-aged palace maid, one carrying clean water and fruits, and the other carrying four kinds of snacks.

Zhou Bei nodded in thanks, relaxed his body a little, and began to enjoy it.

Although he will have lunch with the emperor later, there are all kinds of delicious dishes, but can he gobble it up?

So, it's better to pad your stomach as soon as possible.

In the main hall, Zhengde squatted on the dragon chair and had already finished reading the long secret letter written by Li Ji.

Under the steps in front of him, Huo Yi's tall figure stood straight and upright.

Of course, he also has doubts in his heart, even if Zhou Bei is a genius, but is there still a genius in Daming? Why didn't the emperor pay so much attention to others?

For the sake of Zhou Bei, not only did he send the commander over, but this time when something happened, he actually mobilized the navy of the three major military regions to search for it.

And when Lord Li saw this Zhou Bei, he also attached great importance to him, which was absolutely unusual for Lord Li.

Obviously, Master Li knows something inside.

And his curiosity is not so heavy, knowing the attitude of the emperor and Lord Li towards Zhou Bei, he just treats it carefully.

Zhengde read the secret letter and was silent for a long time. In the letter, Li Ji described in detail the process of his contact with Zhou Bei, and recorded almost every word and deed.

Later, he also wrote about the survivability of Zhoubei on the island after the accident, including the doubts at the time of the accident.

A detailed report of the plane accident is also included, the first half of which is almost completely destroyed, and the second half of which is flipped three times and stands on the ground.

With his skills, he was seriously injured, and Zhou Bei was originally injured, but he was unharmed.

Zhengde was very pleased, because in Gaozu's original narration, there was not only time travel, rebirth, but also space and system.

This Zhou Zaiheng is not a soul crossing, but a native of the Ming Dynasty.

As a native of the Ming Dynasty, I naturally have more sense of belonging to this era.

He dreams every day of people who can dream of another world, and experience life in another world from that person's point of view, which means that he can accept new knowledge.

As for why he wasn't hurt, it seems that he still needs to be cheated.

After considering the attitude towards Zhou Bei, Zhengde said: "The pacification envoy has worked hard all the way, and go back to rest for a few days first, and when Li Aiqing returns, he will have his own reward." ”

Huo Yi hugged his fists and said: "It is my duty to serve Your Majesty, and I don't dare to ask for a reward." It's just that this week's relatives in Heng are now in Jinyiwei, what kind of treatment should they be treated with? ”

"I have seen Zhou Zaiheng, and I will have my own message later."

"The minister retired ......"

Zhengde snorted and turned to Li Yuan, who seemed to be asleep. "Can my great-uncle meet Zhou Zaiheng with me?"

Li Yuan opened his eyes and said with a smile: "The stakes are very high, although the minister is curious, the less he knows, the better." It is better for His Majesty to know the whole picture of this matter, and it is enough for the ministers and fathers to know a thing or two from His Majesty, and to know how to deal with Zhou Zaiheng. ”

Zhengde laughed, feeling extremely comfortable. "The commander is cautious, and he is also influenced by you. That's good, great-uncle can go to the left hall to eat first, I will talk to Zhou Zaiheng first, and then talk to great-uncle ancestor later. ”

He looked up and said, "Xuan Zhou is in Heng to enter the side hall for lunch......"

Outside the Wuying Palace, Zhou Bei heard the summons, immediately stood up, tidied up the dress on his body, and tidied up his crown in front of the mirror hanging at the entrance of the hall.

Led by the two palace maids, they entered the right side hall from the left-hand sidewalk, and then passed through the two separated rooms to the rearmost dining room.

In one of the separated rooms, Zhou Bei saw a huge globe and sand table, and it was obvious that this side hall was a place for military generals to deduce.

The dining room at the back is not small, fifty or sixty square meters, with a large round table in the middle and a small table next to it.

The large table can accommodate at least twenty people, and it should be here when the emperor invites a treat.

The small table is not small, it is separated by a screen, and eighteen dishes are placed on the table, each of which is extraordinarily delicate and the portion is not large.

As soon as Zhou Bei entered the house, he heard a girl shouting, "Your Majesty has arrived." ”

didn't have time to look around, Zhou Bei knelt down on his knees, bowed his head and said, "Meet Your Majesty." ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and then Zhou Bei's arms were grabbed by a pair of big hands. "No need to be polite, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Bei didn't dare to refuse, and got up following his strength, his eyes drooping slightly, unable to look directly at the emperor.

However, through the afterglow, you can still see the strong figure in front of you, as well as the majestic appearance.

According to the textbook, Zhou Bei knew that His Majesty was born in the 67th year of Orthodoxy, in the year 4182 of the Yellow Emperor calendar, and he was exactly forty years old this year.

Compared with Zhengde in another world, he is 17 years older.

Zhengde of the other world was born in 1491 and lived only thirty years, and he is forty years old this year.

Moreover, to become an emperor, you must become a master of longevity, and the current emperor is also a genius in martial arts, and he became a master of immortality at the age of eighteen, and more than 20 years have passed, and no one knows whether he is now a great success.

Zhou Bei saw his strong figure, and then realized the momentum of him and Li Ji, and suspected that he was also a grandmaster.

Zhengde looked at Zhou Bei carefully, turned around and smiled: "If it is really a contemporary Wei Jue, he is much stronger than Wei Jue, and he is worthy of my Ming hero." ”

A female official who was a little older than Zhou Bei said with a smile: "Your Majesty hasn't eaten well for half a month for him, and he has got his wish today, so he should eat more." ”

Zhengde nodded and said: "Eliminate all the people in the Wuying Palace, except for the boss, there is no one left within the ten zhang." ”

Turning to Zhou Bei, his smile was much gentler. "Come and sit down, I've been looking forward to you for half a month, and when I received the news of your accident with Li Aiqing, I couldn't swallow it, and I couldn't live in pain. Don't blame me for letting you come tired before your injuries heal, I can't wait. ”

Zhou Bei bowed and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty's love, Xiaomin is flattered, and I am willing to serve Your Majesty." ”

"Good!" Zhengde replied: "There is nothing good to eat on the plane, you are hungry." Let's eat first, and then we'll talk after eating. ”

Although Zhou Bei guessed that the emperor would be very close to him and would be gentle and enveloping, he did not expect that he would be so courteous.

For a while, many emotions swelled up, and I couldn't help but think about some sad things, which promoted the emotion of moving, and my eyes were red.

When Zhengde sees it clearly, he will bow down, "the little people dare not be a ......"
