Xu Beiyou walked out of the Flying Frost Hall and saw Zhang Baisui who seemed to be smiling.

Zhang Baisui put his hands behind his back, and his toes were outwardly divided, like a prison officer who was presiding over the court staff, and said with a smile: "Nangui, I didn't hear anything today." ”

Xu Beiyou smiled gratefully.

Zhang Baisui turned around and walked forward, Xu Beiyou followed, and after a distance that was not too far, Ganquan Palace was already visible.

The palace was supposed to be a yellow-roofed red wall, with a white Sumeru seat, with distinct colors.

It's just that the Xiao family advocates black, and after several renovations, the overall pattern of the entire Ganquan Palace has not changed, but it has become dominated by black tones, and the layers of palaces and pavilions seem to be black clouds pressing down on the city, which makes people daunting and breathless.

Ganquan Palace is the main hall of the inner court, there are the palaces such as the Pavilion, the Former Palace, the Yingmen, the Front Palace, the Purple Palace, the Taishi Palace, the Tongtiantai, the Tongxiantai, the Wangfeng Terrace, the Yishou Pavilion, the Yanshou Pavilion, the Mingguang Palace, the living room, the Bamboo Palace, the Zhaoxian Pavilion, the Gaoguang Palace, the Tongling Terrace and other palace pavilions, the main hall Mingguang Palace is named after the first emperor Xiao Yu's table, there is the emperor's throne in the middle, there are warm pavilions at both ends, it is the dormitory of a total of fifteen emperors of the Zheng and Qi dynasties, the emperor deals with government affairs here, summons officials, and holds inner court ceremonies and family banquets, the status is second only to Weiyang Palace.

According to the original plan, it was to set up a banquet in Weiyang Palace to entertain Han Xuan and Xu Beiyou, but because His Majesty the Emperor temporarily changed his mind and decided to hold a banquet in Gaoguang Palace, and other women, including Xiao Zhinan, Qin Mumian, and Xiao Yuyi, went to Feishuang Palace, and the queen set up a banquet to entertain them.

Under the guidance of Zhang Baisui, Xu Beiyou entered from the door, bypassed the front hall, and came to the Purple Palace, where he met his quasi-father-in-law and the current master, Xiao Xuan, the Great Qi Chengping Emperor.

This is the first time Xu Beiyou has met the emperor, I have to say that the Xiao father and son are really very similar, Xu Beiyou saw Xiao Xuan, and it is almost possible to imagine what Xiao Bai will look like in a few decades.

Xu Beiyou respectfully bowed.

"Flatten. "The emperor's voice is not as majestic and compelling as he imagined, and it is very neutral and peaceful.

Xu Beiyou got up, his hands drooped, and his eyes looked at his nose and nose.

"I've heard of your name as Gongzi Xu a long time ago, and I asked Elder Han Ge a few days ago, I remember that you were born in the first year of Chengping?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister was indeed born in the first year of Chengping, but the specific month is unknown. Xu Beiyou replied respectfully, not only because he was His Majesty the Emperor, but also because he was his own old Taishan.

Xiao Xuan nodded, "Twenty years after Chengping, you just won the crown, and you went to Jiangnan alone, and it is rare to be able to make such a big reputation." ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Your Majesty praises. ”

Xiao Xuan stretched out his hand and pressed down slightly, and said, "Sit down, I have been friends with your master Gongsun Zhongmou for a long time, and I have also had a relationship, and you are the adopted son of Han Ge Lao and my son-in-law, so you don't need to be too formal." ”

After Xu Beiyou thanked him, he only sat half on the embroidery pier according to the rules.

Xiao Xuan said slowly: "I remember that when I was in the eighth year of Chengping, after the introduction of the King of Lingwu County, Gongsun Zhongmou secretly entered the imperial capital, and met with me in this purple hall. ”

Xu Beiyou did not interject rashly, and waited for the following.

Xiao Xuan paused for a moment, and then said: "At that time, I had been on the throne for eight years, and I said that there was no more, and there was no less to say, it was the critical time to implement the new policy. ”

"After the battle of Biyou Island, the bad news came, I was very sad, I thought that the Sword Sect that had just improved was going to fall silent, and the agreement between me and Mr. Gongsun would not be over, but I didn't expect to be able to see Mr. Gongsun's heirs again after two years, I think it is the will of God, speaking of which Mr. Gongsun will have the misfortune of Biyou Island, I will not escape the involvement, in the future, you will return to Jiangdu, and I will toast a glass of water and wine for me in front of Mr. Gongsun's grave. ”

Xu Beiyou's mood had gradually calmed down at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "No." ”

Xiao Xuan glanced at the sundial outside the door, "It's almost time for the feast, come with me." ”

Xu Beiyou hurriedly got up and followed behind Xiao Xuan with Zhang Baisui.

The three of them walked out of the Purple Hall and headed for the Gaoguang Palace.

At this time, in the Gaoguang Palace, all the kings had already gathered.

Xiao Bai, King of Qi, Xiao Qi of Zhao, Xiao Li, King of Yan, Mu Tangzhi of Liao, Xiao Quji, Wang Xiao of Liangwu County, and Xiao Maha, King of Lingwu County.

Coupled with Han Xuan, the second assistant of the cabinet, it is no less than moving half of the temple over.

Xiao Bai, who was closest to the emperor's robe in the color of the royal robe on his body, stood in the very front position, as if he was half the master of this place, standing with his hands in his hands, looking up at the middle hall of the world's peace, stunned.

Everyone knows that Xiao Bai's identity as the crown prince is already a sure thing, that is, the prince, so this Gaoguang Palace, and even the entire Ganquan Palace, will be in his pocket sooner or later.

As for the peaceful middle hall of the world, it is from the hands of the first emperor, and it is one of the few ink treasures left in the world by the first emperor.

Not far from Xiao Bai, the king of Qi, is Xiao Qi, the king of Zhao, who has no fief and lives in the imperial capital all the year round, standing beside the king of Qi, lowering his eyebrows and respectful, not like an elder, but like a courtier.

Then there is Xiao Li, the king of Yan, who has always had a gap with the king of Qi, who is closing his eyes and recuperating, and his face is sinking like water.

And then there is the handsome face is not inferior to Xiao Bai's only surname Wang Mutangzhi, he was brought up by His Majesty in the palace when he was a child, grew up with Xiao Bai, and was crowned king together, he is half of the Xiao family, if it were not for the lack of a woman of appropriate age, he should have become the third emperor of Daqi.

In addition to the four princes, there are two county kings.

If you push forward a few decades, the names of the King of Liangwu County and the King of Lingwu County can be said to be known to everyone, and their power is so great that they are not only worthy of the title of important ministers of the clan, but also the two of them are literate and martial arts as the queen mother's important ministers, following Han Xuan, and the first assistant Lan Yu are in a state of confrontation, helping Xiao Xuan, who has just ascended the throne, to stabilize his position and work hard.

However, now is not as good as in the past, Xiao Maha, the king of Lingwu County, is okay, even if he is not as good as his father Xiao Shu, he is also the henchman of His Majesty today, but the king of Liangwu County, since Xiao Gongyu, has not been out of office for two consecutive generations, and it is already a bleak scene in the waning West Mountain, Xiao Quji stands in the back position next to Xiao Maha, which is really a little inconspicuous.

In addition to the six kings, there is Han Xuan, in terms of age, Han Xuan can be said to be the oldest among the people, in terms of qualifications, Han Xuan, who has followed the first emperor long before the founding of the Great Qi Kingdom, is incomparable;

At this time, Han Xuan looked out of the door, thoughtful.

There are a total of seven people in the hall, and when Xiao Xuan, Zhang Baisui, and Xu Beiyou walked into the Gaoguang Palace, they were ten people.

Xiao Xuan, who was at the forefront, looked around, raised his hand to stop everyone from saluting, and said with a smile: "Today is a family banquet, don't pay attention to those cumbersome rules, and take your seats." ”

Xu Beiyou subconsciously turned his head to look, and it happened that Han Xuan also looked over.

L starters

The father and son met their eyes, and then staggered without a trace.
