Walk through the main gate and along the white jade paved bridge to the square in front of the outer city.

It is a square the size of ten football fields, and it is usually used for military exercises in ordinary times, such as military drills during celebrations.

In the same way, near this huge square, there seem to be no people on the surface, but in fact there are guarded Janissaries all around, and the number will not be less than three thousand.

Passing through the heavily guarded square of the Imperial Guards, you will enter the inner city of the Imperial Palace.

The first thing that caught Lin Ze's eye was the 10,000-step corridor (in fact, there were only 9,999 steps, and one step was 10,000 steps. ), Langdong (left) is the Taimiao, Langxi (right) is the Sheji altar, and there are many courtyards on the left and right, and the vast buildings are distinct from the master and slave, echoing before and after, symmetrical and orderly.

Such an orderly palace hall, Rao is Lin Ze used to seeing big scenes on the earth before, but compared to this palace, it is still much worse.

Suddenly seeing such a glorious palace complex, Lin Ze's heart was really shocked, when he was on earth, he had not been to the Forbidden City, but it had become a tourist attraction, and there was no longer half of the majestic atmosphere and majesty of the palace in front of him.

At this time, it was already the time of the previous dynasty, and most of the ministers who came to prepare for the early dynasty had gathered in the Taihe Hall where the emperor handled government affairs and summoned the ministers, just waiting for the official start of the early dynasty.

Lin Ze swept his eyes, basically he didn't know him, only a few officials in his memory who were good friends with the Hou Yefu hurriedly came over to say hello to him.

Not long after, Lin Renquan also came here, and when he saw Lin Renquan coming, Lin Ze had only stepped forward to see him.

Lin Renquan is his grandfather, if Lin Ze doesn't come forward to say hello, it will be too unseemly.

Because this is the place where they are preparing to go to court, Lin Ze and Lin Renquan just said hello and separated.

Lin Renquan and Lin Ze's move immediately made the ministers waiting here understand who this young general was, whispering sounded, and many people pointed at Lin Ze, which made Lin Ze very uncomfortable in his heart, and he felt like an animal in a zoo being watched.

What's more, some of them looked at Lin Ze with murderous eyes, which made Lin Ze frown directly, and as soon as his sensing power came out, he immediately knew that these people were from the Yellow Dragon Legion, and the others were from the Seven Princes.

Seeing this, Lin Ze once again made a note in his heart for the Seventh Prince, and prepared to settle accounts with the Seventh Prince Yan Yucheng in the future.

As for Yan Yucheng being the Seventh Prince, Lin Ze didn't care at all, if it weren't for Lin Ze's strength being very weak now, he wouldn't even care about Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao.

After a while, a eunuch hurriedly walked over and stood in the middle of the crowd and looked around.

When Lin Ze saw it, he immediately recognized that the person was the father-in-law Qian who had gone to Black Sand City to pass the holy decree to himself, and just as strangely, Father-in-law Qian had already seen Lin Ze, and immediately ran over with a happy face, "General Lin, it turns out that you are here, but let our family have a good life to find!"

Lin Ze looked at him strangely, and he was a little vigilant in his heart.

Because although Gonggong Qian fed him in Dingzhou, he would not let him come here at this time and in such an environment to make friends with him, you must know that there is a difference between inside and outside, and Dachu strictly forbids father-in-law and foreign ministers in the court.

Therefore, if you are really misunderstood, Lin Ze can't be washed by jumping into the Yellow River!

"I don't know what my father-in-law is looking for Lin? Father-in-law, this is the palace!" Lin Ze asked in a low voice after walking a thousand steps.

The conversation between these two people made Lin Ze, who was already watched, even more eye-catching at this time, and the ministers who were originally a little reserved and unwilling to lose their dignity all turned their eyes and aimed at Lin Ze, and some of them directly pricked up their ears, wanting to give full play to his powerful hearing.

"General Lin, don't worry, the slave knows where this is. General Lin, this time the slave really wants to congratulate you, you are really in the heart of the emperor this time, Your Majesty asked our family to come to General Xuan to wait in the Yuantai Palace, so there is no need to go to court with these ministers. ”

Father-in-law Qian smiled a little flatteringly, looking at Lin Ze's appearance, it was as if he was looking at gold.

I can't hang up with this Qian Guild like this, because, before, he was just a eunuch who was not very valued in the palace, and he was able to go to Heisha City to pass the decree because the other big eunuchs in the palace were unwilling to go to Heisha City, a bitter cold and war-torn place, where to go, if one was not good, he would be killed by sand thieves, so this errand would fall on him.

I didn't want to go to Black Sand City, although Father-in-law Qian's heart was terrified, but in the end, he made a lot of money and returned, that time Lin Ze gave him property, compared with his previous accumulation of more than ten years, with so much money, after Father-in-law Qian returned to Kyoto, he bought off several big eunuchs in the palace, and now he has a bit of status in the palace, so Father-in-law Qian is full of gratitude to Lin Ze.

This time, the emperor wanted to meet Lin Ze alone, because he was the only one who recognized Lin Ze, so he sent it to the emperor again, and Father-in-law Qian was even more desperate, because he knew Lin Ze's generosity.

Also, this time, but the emperor personally ordered that this time, his father-in-law Qian could be regarded as showing his face in front of the emperor, as long as the emperor remembered himself, the day of his emergence would be just around the corner.

There are tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, in addition to those of the emperor's close attendants, how many people can the emperor remember?

Hearing this, not only Lin Ze, but also the ministers who were close to him who pricked up their ears and eavesdropped.

Normally, when the generals of the foreign states return to Beijing to report on their work, according to the usual practice, they only meet in the middle of the early dynasty, and the emperor will be satisfied with a few words of gentle words of comfort, so why does the emperor have to summon Lin Ze alone this time? Is there any problem here?

The minds of countless ministers were full of question marks, and some people, such as the people on the side of the Seven Princes, looked at Lin Ze with great hatred, if their eyes could kill people, now Lin Ze has been torn apart by them.

Some other people, such as the people on the prince's side, value Lin Ze more, and on Lin Renquan's side, his eyes have also changed, and some of the plans in his heart have disappeared!

(In the palace, no matter how high your cultivation is, you are not allowed to use martial arts to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, otherwise, once you are discovered, the result will be directly killed.)

As for how to tell if you are using your true qi to eavesdrop on others' words, hehe, after the martial artist uses the true qi, there will be fluctuations in the body of the true qi, which is easy to be discovered, even if you hide it well, there are many strong people in the palace in the congenital stage, in front of these people, no matter how well you hide it, it is as conspicuous as an electric light in the dark night.

Of course, if you rely on your strong sense of hearing, then there is nothing wrong with it. ）

"Father-in-law, what does this mean?" asked Lin Ze with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, Lord Lin, the slave doesn't know, you better follow the slave!" said Father-in-law Qian with a smile.

Lin Ze, who was confused, had no choice but to follow the happy father-in-law Qian to the inner court, leaving behind him all the way.

In the crowd, countless ministers frowned, thinking bitterly about the emperor's intentions?

When he came to the gate of the inner palace, Lin Ze took off his saber and handed it to the palace guards guarding in front of the palace gate, and then followed Gonggong Qian into the inner palace.

The inside of the palace is another scenery, in addition to the atmosphere that is similar to the outside, it has added some elegance, precious and elegant, the Yuantai Hall is the place where the emperor usually rests, and there is a small garden in front of the palace.

Although it is a small garden, the area is larger than Lin Ze's City Lord's Mansion in Black Sand City.

At this time, it is early summer, the flowers are in full bloom, a fragrance is permeated, the willows are clear, and it gives people a cheerful mood when they see it.

Walking into the Yuantai Palace, Father-in-law Qian greeted Lin Ze diligently, not only brought him a brocade stool for him to sit down, but also let the little eunuch make tea. (Actually, it was all because Lin Ze secretly stuffed him with a golden ticket with a length of one hundred gold coins before.) For these eunuchs in the palace, Lin Ze has never underestimated them, so even if Father-in-law Qian is not a big man in the palace, Lin Ze is still willing to befriend him. ）

"General, please sit down for a while, this early court is not a matter of a while, the ministers of the court and the central government will have a quarrel every time they are in the morning, and there will be no time to finish the matter for a few hours, so you can enjoy the scenery here first, if there is anything, you can just command. ”

Lin Ze nodded, showing that he knew.

Then, Lin Ze looked at the palace guards standing in front of the hall, and the little eunuchs like wooden people standing in the room, and asked carefully: "Father-in-law Qian, will I violate the rules and regulations like this, this is the palace after all, if I am too casual, if I let the emperor know, it will not be good." ”

Father-in-law Qian said with a smile: "General, please be relieved, this is all ordered by the emperor, otherwise I don't dare to say this if you lend me a few guts! The emperor said that the general does not have to go to the early court to listen to those wordy words and nonsense, as long as you wait here with peace of mind, the emperor will come to summon the general after the court." ”

Lin Ze, who was confused, once again stuffed a golden ticket into Father-in-law Qian's hand without a trace, "Father-in-law Qian, can you reveal a little bit about why the emperor summoned me alone?

Father-in-law Qian first carefully glanced at the little eunuchs around him, and after looking at the number of golden tickets in his hand, he saw that it was a hundred, and suddenly his face bloomed, and he quickly stuffed the silver ticket into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Well, general, you better wait, you will know in a while, Xu is Your Majesty is interested in the battle where you annihilated the sand thieves, and I want to hear you tell me in detail!"

As soon as he heard this, Lin Ze knew that the father-in-law in front of him was not clear at all, and he felt depressed for a while.

Yes, the 100 gold coins were gone.

Lin Ze, who didn't know the essentials, had to sit in the Yuantai Palace, patiently waiting for the current Emperor Yuanwu to solve his doubts.
