014 The Powerful?
The person who came had a very stern face, and the tip of his nose and chin were as sharp as bayonets. He only raised his head and glanced, and the atmosphere in the pavilion became a little weird.
This middle-aged man has black hair and pupils with a hint of dark blue.
An extremely strong sense of oppression spread throughout Han Dongwen's whole body, as if his body was resisting his own will, trying to curl up even tighter with all his strength.
"I've met Mr. Souji."
Wen Yongxing and Zhong Lilin both nodded in unison.
Han Dongwen gritted his back teeth calmly. He didn't know this character, let alone how Lord Wen got along with him before.
But based on the two seconds he waited, the man stood straight and showed no intention of kneeling to him, and judging from the performance of Wen and Zhong, even a fool knew that this man was more impressive than himself.
"You are here."
He nodded slightly. His words were very ambiguous, polite, and not too licky. It was within the level that Han Dongwen himself estimated would work.
The man looked at Han Dongwen intently for a few seconds and nodded slightly.
Han Dongwen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned his head to look at Xiao Hongdou, and said sternly: "Kneel down."
The maid entered the Yingchun Palace and went straight to the harem. According to common sense, she did not need to meet other officials. She only recognized Taishu Pavilion because the emperor "may go". Xiao Hongdou was still in a daze, but when Han Dongwen said this, she hurriedly
He knelt down on his knees in a grand salute.
"This slave has met your master."
Which adult is this?
Little Hongdou was beating a drum in her heart.
The walls of this harem are really high.
"Lord General Secretary" turned his head and looked around, walked forward slowly, raised his hand and patted Han Dongwen's shoulder gently.
He patted it very lightly, but Han Dongwen felt it was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Then, the general manager gently held the desk, took two steps slowly, turned around and sat on the main seat.
The chair that had been empty all morning made a sudden noise in the quiet library.
Mr. Tantai, the Chief Secretary.
This short sentence is all Han Dongwen knows so far.
Is the General Secretary the largest official among the three divisions?
He is dressed in black and red robes and is the commander-in-chief of the National Military Department?
Master Tantai, what is your name?
How much power does this commander-in-chief hold?
Han Dongwen's scalp was numb and his face was smiling brightly.
"Your Highness, I heard that you received the Immortal Gift from Taishu Pavilion yesterday and took the initiative to come here today, but what are your thoughts on the arrangements for the Immortal Dian?"
While Master Tantai was talking, he did not look at Han Dongwen. He just glanced at the eaves and buildings of Taishu Pavilion, studying almost every inch.
"Nothing."
Han Dongwen said hurriedly: "Yesterday I drank too much in the dormitory. When I woke up, I forgot many of the arrangements I had made. After all, inviting the immortal is a big deal. After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that it should not be delayed, so I thought to confirm it. Please excuse me.
The two adults of Taishu Pavilion."
Master Tantai tilted his head slightly: "It's naturally a good thing for Your Highness to enjoy drinking and having fun. Why would Taishu Pavilion find it troublesome?"
Hearing what he said, Zhong Lilin reacted first and lowered his head and said: "Of course not. Please rest assured, Mr. General Secretary, there will be no mistake in inviting Xian Dian."
After hearing this, Mr. Tantai ignored Zhong Lilin and only raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness, your ears are... Could it be that something went wrong in the Xiu Department and an assassin entered the harem?"
If something goes wrong with the Xiubu under the National Defense Department and an assassin is brought in, he, as the commander-in-chief in charge of the National Defense Department, would be directly responsible.
He asked as casually as if you had eaten.
"You are joking."
Han Dongwen grinned and waved his hand: "I drank too much and accidentally pricked my ear with a woman's hairpin. It's still hurting right now. I'm just kidding!"
The words floated into Xiao Hongdou's ears, but she only wondered in her heart: His Highness obviously didn't drink at all last night, so why did he talk so nonsense and look ugly?
But although she was young, she still had good eyesight, and she didn't do anything extraordinary. She just felt that the fatuous tyrant seemed to be somewhat different from what people said.
"Your Highness drinks a lot of wine, but it seems he also drinks a lot of tea."
Han Dongwen's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and saw that Director Tantai's eyes had glanced at the four teacups on the table.
The extra one is for Little Red Bean as usual!
"Is it possible that there are still guests coming to Taishu Pavilion today?"
The corners of General Tantai's mouth turned up, but there was no smile at all in his eyes.
Han Dongwen's head suddenly buzzed.
Is this prepared for you?
There was obviously tea in there.
I use this cup to reward the maid?
This is totally not what Lord Plague should do!
It doesn't hurt to test it a little in front of Wen Yongxing and the others. Taishu Ge will definitely not take power, but what will he think in front of the chief executive?
There were almost beads of sweat on his forehead.
He also thought about what would happen if Zhong Lilin took this opportunity to say a few more words to retaliate against him?
"This is……"
He was about to speak when he suddenly heard a timid voice coming from behind.
"Sir, please forgive me for talking too much. This cup is not for guests to drink."
It was Xiaohongdou who spoke.
She only knew that the director-general was unkind and somewhat troublesome. She was already very frightened, and when she saw him asking about the extra cup, she was afraid that she would not be able to escape the blame.
And His Highness kindly gave me tea, is it possible that he will also be implicated?
"Is it?"
General Manager Tantai glanced at Xiaohongdou, and then returned to Han Dongwen.
"Exactly, there is a saying in the Bianzhou Tea Ceremony of 'tea purification'. It is said that tea cannot be drunk the first time it is steeped, it must be poured. However, the aroma of some teas is best when it is first brewed, so there is a cup of tea that is poured after the first brew.
Not drinking tea, just enjoying the aroma of tea."
Her voice was trembling slightly, but she finally spoke completely.
What Cha Di said was not nonsense, but whether she poured the tea for the first time or left a cup to taste the aroma all depends on her preference. These adults did not ask for it, and she had already poured the tea for the first time today.
Han Dongwen listened more seriously than Director Tantai, and after Xiao Hongdou finished speaking, he was beating a drum in his heart.
Even more anxious!
Although these words relieved the situation in front of me, the girl Xiaohongdou didn’t know where Wen and Zhong were standing!
If Wen Zhong stood up and said she was talking nonsense, this kind of crime would only be more serious than the crime of deceiving the emperor.
He only has this one acquaintance!
but……
But if the two of them did not speak, does it mean that they are not on the side of the General Secretary?
Han Dongwen would never want to take the initiative to risk other people's lives, but now this teacup, big or small, seemed to be able to taste Taishuge's attitude.
He swallowed and looked up at General Secretary Tantai.
——————
A beautiful horse rides on the bluestone road.
The horse's coat is shiny and dark, as if dyed with ink, and its limbs are well-proportioned and strong. If you look closely, you can see that there is a black-red sharp horn on the forehead of this black horse, and deep in its eyes, there are like black pearls.
Flashing like bright red lightning.
Sitting immediately was a young man wearing a dark blue robe. He was only in his early twenties and always had a smile on his face, as if he was about to ride a horse to his favorite theater to listen to a play.
Some soldiers guarding the palace gate saw the black horse from a distance and knew that it was the young master Tantai Ming, the son of the chief minister Tantai Fu.
Tantai Ming liked this horse very much. His father brought him back from Taka.
Now Tantai Ming was riding this horse and stepped straight into the Yingchun Palace.
Behind him, there were seven or eight soldiers who also rode horses, all wearing black and red armor. From a distance, you could tell that they were the elite of the National Military Division.
When the group of people entered Yingchun Courtyard, Mi Niangniang was already waiting there with several maids.
"Lord Tantai."
Mi Niangniang bowed and was about to say something polite: "Long time no see, you again..."
"No need, I'm very busy today."
Tantai Ming did not dismount, but smiled at Mi Niangniang: "I wonder if it would be convenient for all the girls to come out?"
The smile on Mi Niangniang's face froze, she recovered and nodded.
The maids and maids gradually walked out of the Yingchun Palace, but their faces were each paler than the last.
Tantai Ming looked at these girls, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to smile more happily.
