"Winter, winter, winter."

"Young master, someone from the palace has arrived." At this time, the voice of the butler sounded outside the house.

When Ji Xiu heard this, he looked helplessly at Ling Chen, who was sitting on his lap, and smiled helplessly:

"It seems that I am going to enter the palace today."

Ling Chen pursed his lips, pretending not to care, and said, "You go, I'm going to cultivate too." With that, she broke free of Ji Xiu's embrace and jumped off.

Looking at her appearance, she was obviously not satisfied.

Tut! This old emperor really has no eyesight.

patted Ling Ling lightly, which caused her to be dissatisfied for a while, and then Ji Xiu opened the door with a smile and walked out.

"Ji Shi said, we meet again."

Outside the Ye Mansion, Lin Jiewu, a red-robed eunuch with a pen, stood with his hands down, looking at Ji Xiu's smile on his face.

"It turned out that the chief eunuch of Bingbi came to pick me up in person?" Ji Xiu was surprised.

Lin Xie was worried but said with a smile: "This shows that Your Majesty attaches great importance to Mr." Please, sir, don't keep your majesty waiting. ”

Ji Xiu nodded, and got into the carriage with Lin Jie's support.

All the way through the lively Suzaku Street, the carriage pulled Ji Xiu and drove into the imperial city.

As soon as he entered the Imperial City, Ji Xiu felt several gazes probing.

"There are countless masters in this palace." Ji Xiu lowered the curtain and muttered to himself.

"I just don't know what kind of person this emperor is." This is the first time Ji Xiu has seen the emperor, and he is still a little excited in his heart.

After traveling through the Imperial City for about a quarter of an hour, the carriage entered the inner city and stopped.

"Ji Shi said, the inner city has arrived, we should come down and walk." Lin Jie's voice sounded outside the car.

"This outer imperial city can use a carriage to travel with His Majesty's permission, but in the inner imperial city, except for the cabinet chief, there are only a few princes, and the princess can use the carriage and horse to enter the palace on his behalf."

Lin Xie helped Ji Xiu get out of the carriage and mentioned it by the way.

This guy is smiling, friendly, and feels very comfortable getting along. Well, this product is the same kind of person as his cousin Ye Youran.

But come to think of it, if you can achieve the position of the chief eunuch, it will definitely not be a simple good person.

……

All the way through the inner imperial city, gardens, verandahs, long pavilions, turning around, and finally came to a place with a wide field of vision.

In front of the wide, white jade paved square, a palace style, red walls and yellow tiles, solemn hall towers.

- Wu Yingdian.

The place where Emperor Yongxing retreated.

It is also a place where everyone in the cabinet works for the emperor and reports on their work.

Emperor Yongxing has not been in court for decades, and he can still control the world, all by the cabinet.

"Your Majesty, the Hanlin attendant will bring Ji Xiu." Outside the magnificent hall, Ji Xiu stood behind Lin Xie and waited quietly.

"Crunch." The palace gates opened.

A feminine and handsome eunuch wearing a dark robe walked out.

Wang Bizhi glanced at Lin Jie's worries, and then looked at Ji Xiu.

"Come to think of it, this should be the Admiral Eunuch Wang Bizhi!" Ji Xiu's mind came up with a person's name.

There is only one eunuch who serves the emperor closely, and that is the chief eunuch, which everyone knows.

The Dayang Dynasty, one of the five bright faces.

"Among the people who chased and killed Guo Jing that night, there must have been one of them." Ji Xiu glanced at the other party and lowered his eyebrows.

"You go down, Hanlin Waiter please come in." Wang Bizhi pushed to the side and motioned for Ji Xiu to go in.

Nodding, Ji Xiu stepped into the hall alone.

“…… Wow! As soon as he stepped into the main hall, a fresh breeze suddenly hit his face, blowing Ji Xiu's robe with a grin.

Hiss! Is it the wind? How could there be such a strong wind in the palace? Ji Xiu subconsciously raised his hand to block it, so as not to lose his eyes by the wind.

There was a faint sound of waves in my ears.

"Yes, I came to see me, and I changed into a clean set of clothes." Suddenly, a voice sounded right in front of me.

At the moment when the sound sounded, the breeze in the main hall suddenly subsided.

Ji Xiu raised his eyes and saw that a figure had appeared in front of him.

Dressed in a white wide undershirt, in winter, he was dressed thinly, with a ruddy complexion, and he looked only thirty or forty years old.

Emperor Yongxing, is so young?! A look of surprise appeared in Ji Xiu's eyes.

He estimated the current age of Emperor Yongxing, not to mention more than six, right? It looks like you're in the prime of life.

"What, you're surprised to see me?"

Emperor Yongxing stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the kid who was stunned in place, wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and there was a smile in his eyes.

"Minister, Ji Xiu, meet Your Majesty." Ji Xiu reacted, immediately bowed and saluted, and said, "The minister lost his honor in front of the palace, and I hope Your Majesty will not blame him." ”

When officials of the Dayang Dynasty met the emperor, they did not need to bow down unless it was a very formal occasion.

Since Emperor Renzong, it has been a great benevolent government, and everything is based on pragmatism, eliminating a lot of unnecessary red tape.

In the words of Renzong, that is, "the monarch is used to respect, not to be hung on the buckle, on words and deeds."

Well, thanks to Emperor Renzong!

"What are you guilty of?" Emperor Yongxing asked with a smile.

Well? What is the sin? Shouldn't you be generous enough to say it's okay? This emperor doesn't play cards according to the routine.

Ji Xiu was stunned by the question, but he still spoke:

"When the minister saw that His Majesty was like a fairy, he was surprised for a moment, and he failed to salute in time, and asked His Majesty to forgive him."

Well, what's the sin? It's not wrong to pick up something good! Don't ask, if you ask, you have the qualifications of an immortal, and it shocked me!

"Like a fairy?" When Emperor Yongxing heard this, the smile in his eyes became more and more intense, and the eyes that looked at Ji Xiu became more and more satisfied.

He loved it!

“…… Come with me. After speaking, Emperor Yongxing turned around and walked towards the main hall.

Tut! Sure enough, everyone likes to listen to it. Ji Xiu glanced at Emperor Yongxing, and then silently followed.

The main hall is empty and large.

I don't know at all that this is an office place where cabinet members often come to work.

"Isn't this the living map of mountains and rivers?"

When he came to the main hall, when he saw the huge living map lying across the main hall, Ji Xiu couldn't help but say loudly.

A rumor came to his mind.

Everyone in the Dayang Dynasty knows that in the palace there is a pair of three Confucian saints, who have drawn a picture of mountains and rivers with the fortune of the dynasty.

The mountains and rivers live map, monitoring the luck of the mountains and rivers of the Dayang Dynasty.

Nowadays, the living maps used in the prefectures and counties of Dayang are all rubbed from this mother map. It is often said that the country and the society and the fortune of the dynasty can all be seen from this picture, and it is clear at a glance.

"Not bad." Emperor Yongxing pointed to the map of mountains and rivers and said, "Come forward and take a look." ”

Ji Xiu was puzzled, but he still stepped forward honestly.

“…… Roar! Suddenly, a dragon's groan sounded in my ears.

Then, on the living map in front of him, the luck rolled, and a transparent dragon rolled out on the sea of luck.

A sense of closeness arises spontaneously.

Looking at the great dragon of luck in front of him, Ji Xiu couldn't help but want to burst into cultivation, but he still held back.

"Your Majesty, this is the ...... Martial Arts Luck Dragon? Ji Xiu looked at Emperor Yongxing.

"Not bad." Emperor Yongxing nodded and said, "You have been recognized by the Martial Dao Luck, and it is happy to see you." As he spoke, Emperor Yongxing pointed to the living map and motioned to Ji Xiudao:

"Put your hand on it and try it."

Ji Xiu hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and stretched out his hand, gently caressing it on the mountain and river living map, the martial arts luck dragon seemed to feel something, let out a low roar, and the huge head gently rubbed against Ji Xiu's palm.

Tut! I often hear people say how it feels to pet cats, dogs, tigers, lions, elephants, girlfriends, etc., who has ever seen a dragon?

Well, I'm the first person, right?
