As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Zhao Weixian will not give up.

As a figure who has lived in officialdom for a long time, Zhao Weixian naturally has some of his own reliance, you know, as an official in the imperial court, it is absolutely impossible to count on the emperor's favor, the emperor's impression of you is important, but there must be other life-saving straws in your own hands.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Weixian came up with two solutions.

The first is that he wants to personally probe the emperor's tone and see what kind of thoughts the emperor will have after King Qing returns, or will he admit his mistake intentionally or unintentionally?

As for the second, that is, Zhao Weixian plans to go to King De for help, King De, as the eldest prince, has always had a good reputation in the court, at least on the surface, King De's words and deeds, every move, are worthy of his title, if King De is willing to say a few words for himself, I dare not say that the emperor will definitely listen, but at least, it will also make the emperor hesitate.

After making up his mind, Zhao Weixian decided to enter the palace.

Since being ordered by the emperor to think about it behind closed doors, Zhao Weixian took the initiative to enter the palace for the first time.

I don't know if the emperor will receive him, or if the emperor will punish him for leaving the palace without permission.

However, now Zhao Weixian can still take care of these.

After his palanquin came to the outside of the imperial city, the guards saw that it was Zhao Weixian, and they didn't stop it, so they let him go directly.

Because there is also an inner door inside, the Praetorian Guards here don't have to worry about accidents.

After coming to the inner gate of the palace, Zhao Weixian got off the sedan chair, and then said to the guarded Praetorian Guards: "Please report to the saint, Zhao Weixian, the governor of the nine provinces, and ask to see the saint." ”

"Lord Zhao, please wait here. ”

Zhao Weixian is a powerful official in the court, and these Praetorian Guards are familiar with him.

From the Praetorian Guards entering and returning to coming out, it was less than half an hour, but in this short period of time, Zhao Weixian was as impatient as he was sitting on pins and needles, and he was even more apprehensive in his heart.

Fortunately, the years of officialdom have already sharpened Zhao Weixian's temperament, even if he is impatient, even if he is apprehensive, he is only hidden in his heart, and on the surface, he will never see anything.

"Lord Zhao, the emperor has a decree to announce that you will see you in the imperial study!"

When he heard what the Praetorian Guards said when they came back, a hanging heart finally let go, as long as he was willing to see him, it meant that the emperor did not despair of him in his heart.

"Thank you!"

As usual, Zhao Weixian would not take these Praetorian Guards in his eyes at all, but looking at them today, he was extremely cordial and had a good impression.

After entering the palace, a person walked over to him, Zhao Weixian recognized that it was the chief eunuch beside the emperor, so he hurriedly greeted him first: "Chief, I haven't seen you for many days, and my complexion is getting better and better." ”

"Lord Zhao is polite, you see that you haven't come for many days, and we all miss you very much. The manager said in a pinched voice.

"Haha, then I'm flattered, come, Lord Steward, this is a few days ago from the house, I don't think it's useful to keep it, I learned that Lord Lord Lord likes these things, so I brought them, you laugh. ”

Seeing Zhao Weixian's move, the manager was taken aback, almost thinking that he was dazzled.

Eunuchs, especially eunuchs in the palace, and especially the chief stewards around the emperor, although they have no rights, no one dares to offend casually.

As the saying goes, a dog next to the emperor is a treasure, and whoever sees it has to praise it?

Of course, there are also people who don't care about these eunuchs, and there is no need to say that several princes need to say, because they are the same as the emperor, they are all members of the royal family, and you are not in charge, aren't they all slaves in our family, what is there to say about the treatment of slaves.

As for the officials in the court, they don't care about these eunuchs, at most there are only a few people, and coincidentally, Zhao Weixian is also one of the few people in this district.

Seeing Zhao Weixian, who has always looked down on him, when he met today, he took the initiative to say hello and send things, can you not be confused?

In Zhao Weixian's hand, it is a dark green jade Buddha, the size of a palm, but it looks crystal clear, smooth and delicate, and it is a good thing at first glance.

"Oh, Lord Zhao, you are torturing me to wait, by all means, you quickly take it back. ”

In fact, at this time, this eunuch is still a little proud in his heart, you Zhao Weixian was beautiful before, and the scenery was so beautiful that almost no one dared to care about it in the court, but who told you not to do things well, now, after letting the emperor punish him, look at it, this change is too big.

Zhao Weixian said with a smile: "Lord Steward, it's not that I haven't come for many days, you have to alienate me, you see, it's just a gadget, you still push back, isn't it obvious that you can't look at it." ”

As soon as Zhao Weixian said this, the manager stopped pushing it, because he was just pretending to be polite, how could he not want this good thing?

"Then thank you, Lord Zhao. The steward took the jade Buddha and stuffed it into his cuffs.

"Lord Zhao, the emperor specially asked me to welcome you, please come with me. ”

"Thank you, Steward!"

After Zhao Weixian followed him all the way to the door of the imperial study, the manager motioned for him to wait outside, and only after he returned did Zhao Weixian walk in.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Weixian was dumbfounded, because he found that there was another person in the imperial study.

At this moment, the emperor is playing chess with Guo Bailing.

"Zhao Aiqing, you wait for a while, I finish this game of chess first. The emperor didn't look at Zhao Weixian, his eyes were fixed on the chessboard, and he said casually.

"Obey the order!" Zhao Weixian hurriedly said.

Because the emperor didn't let him watch it, it was not easy for Zhao Weixian to go over to watch chess, because if the emperor's situation was good, it would be easy to say, but if the emperor's situation was not good, you, Zhao Weixian, happened to see it, didn't you want to find scolding.

After waiting for a while, the emperor suddenly took a long breath, then pushed the chess box in his hand forward, and said with a smile: "Bailing, this chess, are you letting me again?"

Guo Bailing, who was sitting opposite the emperor, was still the same, dressed extremely ordinary, and even a little too ordinary.

"The emperor laughed, in this game, Bailing did his best!" said Guo Bailing faintly.

"Nonsense, remember the first game of chess I played with you, I was not your opponent at all, why am I so powerful now?" the emperor seemed to be a little unconvinced.
