Speaking of idiots, idiots, there are two people in Chang'an City who like to scold idiots the most, one is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is naturally Ning Que.

It's just that when the emperor scolds people idiots, he has always been regardless of the occasion, and he scolds openly and heroically, but Ning Que is used to chatting with Sang Sang and whispering softly to comment on others as idiots, revealing a small family spirit from the inside out, so today he can recklessly scold Chao Xiaoshu as an idiot with His Majesty in the palace, he is very excited and excited, and the stars are splashing everywhere.

The word idiot flew like rain in the quiet palace, which made the queen mother and the eunuch and the palace maid surprised and funny, covering her mouth tightly to prevent herself from laughing, but this scene was a little embarrassing after all, the queen glanced at the female officials beside her, and quietly left the palace with the palace maids and eunuchs.

I don't know how long it took, but the two monarchs and ministers in the palace finally finished venting their grievances against Chao Xiaoshu, and they stopped panting, and the end of the word idiot gradually became quiet.

The emperor picked up a piece of square from the couch, wiped the sweat on his face, looked at Ning Que, and showed a satisfied look in his eyes.

"What's the matter with that little maid in your family? Before the Heavenly Oracle Divine Throne left Chang'an, he didn't explain this matter clearly to the Lian, how did you discuss it?"

The emperor tapped on the table and motioned for Ning Que to drink tea by himself.

Ning Que picked up the tea bowl, but did not drink it immediately, and replied: "Now it is tentatively scheduled to talk about it in three years, if Sang Sang wants to go to Xiling at that time, he will go." ”

The emperor asked, "Tell me the story of your little maid, why did you suddenly become a young lady in Zeng Jing's mansion?"

Ning Que took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and carefully told the story of what he had picked up in the pile of corpses beside the road and what happened in the following years.

The emperor was silent for a while, and said with emotion: "Such a life experience is really bizarre and unspeakable, and the relationship between her and you is rare in the world, you have to cherish it." ”

Ning Que nodded.

The emperor looked at him and asked, "Why didn't she come to the palace with you today?"

Ning Que said: "She went to the princess's mansion to play, Her Royal Highness has always had a good relationship with her, and the little prince didn't see her every other day, so he thought a little." ”

The emperor listened to his explanation, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of worry.

Ning Que understood where His Majesty's worries came from, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Your Majesty, although these things are world affairs, they are family affairs after all. ”

The Emperor was silent for a moment and then asked, "What does the Master say?"

Ning Que shook his head.

The emperor sighed and said, "Speaking of which, with the teacher's temperament, where would he care about such troubles. ”

The hall was silent.

I don't know how long it took, the emperor looked at Ning Que's eyes, and suddenly asked, "Lian wants to know, what kind of grudge is there between you and General Xiahou?"

Ning Que didn't think about it, shook his head and said, "There was no grudge before going to the wasteland. ”

"That is, after going to the wasteland, there is. ”

The Emperor looked at him and said, "That's why you killed a military advisor in Tuyang City." ”

Ning Que knew that His Majesty was referring to Gu Xi's death, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The minister doesn't know what His Majesty is referring to, and killing military advisers without permission is a capital crime in Tang Luli. ”

The emperor stroked his beard and laughed, and said mockingly: "Even in front of the Lian, he refuses to show any tricks, and the academy has probably produced such a cautious guy as you over the years." ”

Ning Que responded with a wry smile: "There are some things that cannot be handled. ”

The emperor said, "Then you give Lian a reason." ”

Ning Que said: "In the wasteland, General Xiahou's subordinates disguised themselves as horse thieves and wanted to kill me, and the general himself was waiting to kill me in the north of the Hulan Sea. ”

These two things have already been known to the imperial court through the two channels of the dark guards and the Tianshu department, but apart from reprimanding, the imperial court did not take any measures against Xiahou.

The emperor put the silk on the table and said, "You should know very well that Mr. Big's handling at the beginning was the meaning of the couplet, and you should also understand the meaning of the couplet." ”

"I don't have any resentment, I'm just puzzled why those big people on the imperial side have always refused to let me go, and I don't understand where the military's hostility towards me comes from. ”

Ning Que said: "First of all, General Xiahou wants to kill me in the wasteland, I can understand that the temptation of the Heavenly Book Ming scroll has carried him away, what about the old general Xushi? I also used to be a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, so I don't understand why the old general was so wary of me. ”

This is clear.

Whether it is to take care of the empress's affection, or out of the consideration of the stability of the empire, plus the Xiling Temple is peeping out, as long as Xiahou is willing to unload his armor and return to old age, and the academy has agreed, then His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not make a harsh punishment to General Xiahou.

Ning Que showed that he could accept this kind of decision, but he wanted to let the emperor know that he could not accept the faint oppression from the Tang military, and he wanted an explanation.

After the emperor was silent for a moment, he said: "General Xu Shi is undefeated on the battlefield in this life, but he will never be able to raise his head in front of the junior uncle, it is natural to be hostile to the academy, as for why he is so wary of you, I really don't know, maybe this matter needs to be asked to him himself." ”

Ning Que thought to himself that although he was now a student on the second floor of the academy, it was still a very difficult act to question the first person in the Datang military in person.

The emperor didn't let him stay in this kind of love for too long, he stood up from the side of the couch, raised his sword eyebrows, looked at him and said in a clear voice: "You brought that thing, right?"

Ning Que raised his hand and touched the hard object in his arms, and said, "Bring it." ”

"That's fine, I'll take you somewhere. ”

The emperor flicked his sleeves and walked out of the hall.

It is the twilight of spring, it is the most charming time of Chang'an City, walking in the palace, you can see the splendid spring flowers everywhere, the green leaves are gradually lush, the quiet lake has no waves, there are occasional pavilions, and the independent party.

His Majesty the Emperor did not bring any retinue or guards, but just took Ning Que alone, left the palace and walked towards the depths of the imperial garden.

The eunuch and palace maid she met along the way retreated to the side of the road in awe and silence, and then looked at the figures of the two people who were getting farther away, with a look of surprise and confusion on her face.

The people in the palace are the most shrewd people, of course, they know that the young man in black next to the emperor is the legendary Ning Que Ning family, but they don't understand where His Majesty wants to take Ning Que at this time, and why no one around him has left.

In the depths of the Imperial Garden, there is a two-story small wooden building, painted with vermilion lacquer, which is very exquisite, but compared with the majestic palace in the distance, it still shows a bit of shabby atmosphere.

The emperor took Ning Que to the small wooden building and said, "This is it." ”

Outside the small building, the green trees were numerous, the wildflowers were blooming, and it was obvious that they had not been pruned for a long time, Ning Que looked at the grass growing between the stone bricks under his feet, and thought to himself that probably few people would even come here.

Then he looked up and looked around, his gaze touching the Imperial Wall, and confirmed that the small wooden building was not only in the middle of the Imperial Garden, but also in the middle of the entire Imperial City.

The emperor pushed open the door of the small wooden building and walked in.

Ning Que also walked in.

After entering the small wooden building, His Majesty the Emperor did not climb the stairs and went upstairs, but walked downstairs.

A dark passage that juts out deep into the ground of the wooden building.

Ning Que looked at the dark passage, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, thinking that it was indeed the most important place in the Tang Empire, and there was nothing new at all.

The hard stone walls of the passage are filled with things like night pearls, which exude a faint light, which does not make people feel frightened, but rather gives people a sense of peace of mind.

Ning Que followed behind His Majesty the Emperor and walked downstairs, looking at these night pearls beside him, thinking that he could probably buy the Songhe Tower with a random bead, and thinking about the shabby two-story wooden building above, he felt more and more that the person who built this room back then was very sullen.

Just thinking about these things, his pupils shrank, and he looked vigilantly above the stone wall, only to see several crystal pearls in the forefront, and several deep lines appeared.

Those lines contain an extremely neutral and peaceful but indifferent and strong aura, as if as long as it is emanated, it can crush a qiē in the passage into powder.

Ning Que clearly sensed this breath, and gasped in shock, he was a person who cultivated talismans, of course he could understand that these lines were all runes - these runes were very powerful, but they all seemed to be a little broken, and now these lines on the stone wall were just fragments of the original runes.

He looked at the lines on the stone wall, calculated the time of storage, and silently thought in shock, what kind of realm did the sages who carved these runes thousands of years ago reach, and they could maintain the runes for such a long time, can a rune master like the master do it?

The emperor noticed his expression, looked up at the stone wall above, and after a moment of silence, he said with emotion: "When my father brought me here for the first time, I was as shocked as you, I can only vaguely feel the power of these runes, but I don't want to come here often. ”

"What are the conditions for these runes to be activated?"

Ning Que is worthy of being the successor of Master Yan Se, and raised the most critical question, even if the person who carved the rune thousands of years ago was a rune master, how could he still maintain the power of the rune he made after he died? You must know that not every Tang Dynasty master is a rune master, and Li Qingshan is not today.

The Emperor said, "There are no conditions, anyone who trespasses in the passage will be killed by these runes. ”

Ning Que was puzzled and asked, "Anyone?"

The Emperor nodded and repeated calmly, "Anyone."

Ning Que couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then His Majesty and I are not human?"

The emperor also laughed, and after a while, his smile gradually faded, and he said calmly: "Lian is the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty, holding the national seal, and has the imperial spirit, so these runes must not hurt Lian." ”

Ning Que said, "What about me?"

The Emperor said, "You are now the master of these runes. ”

(Today's state is not as good as yesterday, but it has been gradually recovered, and the second chapter will come out before half past eleven.) (To be continued)
