The two of them hurriedly arrived outside Xuande Gate and dismounted. The guard guarding the gate was still waiting to check the number plate. A chamberlain inside had already turned around in a hurry. He came up to them and yelled: "The emperor is already anxious and hastened."
Several times, you are still here wasting their time."
The inner guard quickly let him go. Fu Bi and Su Jin followed behind the inner guard and hurriedly walked inside through the wide aisle between Daqing Gate and Chongwen Gate.
Fu Bi said: "Master Chamberlain, didn't you say you were in Daqing Hall? Where are you going?"
The chamberlain said: "Sir Fu, the emperor is in the study room of Jingfu Palace."
Fu Bi was surprised and said: "Why are you there? I don't have permission. Do you want to retreat first?"
The chamberlain said: "The emperor said that after you bring the person, you will wait outside the palace. The rich man is not an outsider. You can just drink a cup of tea from the old slave in the side room and wait slowly."
Fu Bi hurriedly said: "Yes, thank you, Lord Chamberlain."
Su Jin was confused after hearing this, and asked Fu Bi in a low voice: "What's going on? Is there any problem?"
Fu Bi whispered: "Jingfu Palace is where the emperor's study room is located. It is only separated from the harem by a wall. Even important ministers cannot enter without permission. The emperor is meeting you in the study room. It seems that you have a lot of face, and maybe
If there are things that outsiders cannot listen to, they should be spoken to you alone, so you should handle them carefully."
Su Jinxin said: "He doesn't know me. If he has any confidential information to tell me, he just wants to ask about the authenticity of the dream that Grandpa Taizu entrusted him with, and also about this strategy of raising food. These two things have been done for a long time."
There is a plan, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
The three of them entered the Xuanyou Gate. The guards all knew the fat and white servant, and nodded in greeting. The servant just hummed a few times, without even looking back, and walked all the way to the door. After a while, on the left
There was a small door at the entrance of the courtyard, and five or six guards were walking around with swords in their hands. When they saw Su Jin and others, a guard came forward and said, "Hello, Eunuch Huang, is it them?"
The chamberlain smiled and said: "Exactly."
The guard said, "Have you ever checked your body?"
Fu Bi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, sir. How dare you bring in prohibited items?"
The guard said: "In that case, put your belongings in the corner room and go in quickly. Your Majesty is waiting for you."
Fu Bi quickly asked Su Jin to take out the belongings in his arms and give them to the guards for safekeeping. Su Jin had nothing on him except a Yun brocade handkerchief given by Yan Biyun, and then a pair of clothes and a large three-yuan jade pendant on his belt.
After packing up, the chamberlain Huang Eunuch waved, and Su Jin followed him into the small door step by step, while Fu Bi could only stay in the side room to rest.
Su Jin stepped into the small door, and his eyes suddenly opened up. It turned out that there was a large square inside the door, and a magnificent palace stood there fifty steps away to the right. Climbing up the high steps, there was a huge plaque hanging at the door of the palace.
The three characters "Jingfu Hall" shine brightly in the sun.
Entering the palace, Su Jin unexpectedly saw several officials wearing scarlet official robes. One was handsome, one was short and fat, and one was dark and thin. The three of them looked at Su Jin in unison, and the short and fat Yan Shu hurriedly stepped forward.
He said: "Why did you come here? The emperor is waiting for you in the study."
Su Jin said: "I came galloping here on horseback without delay. Could it be that I have wings and can fly here?"
Yan Shu rolled his eyes and said: "Stop talking, go in quickly, remember the etiquette I taught you, be careful when dealing with it, and never talk nonsense."
Su Jin said: "I understand, why don't you go in?"
Yan Shu said: "The emperor wants to see you, not us. Haven't you seen Prime Minister Lu and Privy Du sitting over there?"
Su Jinxin said: They know me, who knows them?
Eunuch Huang waved at the corridor beside the curtain on the side of the hall: "Student Su, please come with me."
Su Jin took a breath to calm down, held his hands towards Yan Shu, and walked away; after a while, the two disappeared behind the curtain.
The handsome Lu Yijian and the dark and thin Du Yan looked at each other, pointed in the direction Su Jin was going in and said, "Master Yan, is he the one the emperor wants to see?"
Yan Shu smiled and said: "It's him, Su Jin, a student of Yingtianfu Academy."
Lu Yijian frowned and said, "Is this the Su Jin that the great ancestor entrusted to him in his dream?"
Du Yan interjected: "It's still the same Su Jin who wrote "Magpie Bridge Immortal" and "Shui Diao Ge Tou"."
Yan Shu said: "You two adults, can't you see that heroes come from young men?"
Lu Yijian snorted and said: "I don't understand the truth. The mob rebellion in Yangzhou is very critical. The emperor only saw me and talked for half an hour. Why is he so anxious to see this Su Jin? Could it be that he can write this?
Is Ci's Su Jin more capable than me in this matter?"
Du Yan said: "Yes, I am also wondering why Su Jin came to the capital. We don't know anything about it."
Yan Shu said: "I brought him to the capital following the emperor's instructions. Your Majesty... Your Majesty may want to ask him about Taizu's dream."
Lu Yijian sighed: "Why are you asking these questions now? There must be a countermeasure to the Yangzhou incident. I really don't know what the emperor is thinking."
Yan Shu said seriously: "Prime Minister Lu, the power of heaven is unpredictable, why do you need to say these words? Your Majesty asked me to wait outside to wait for the second summons. Maybe there is another reason. Even if you want to go to jail, I am not in a hurry at this moment."
Lu Yijian was choked and stared at Yan Shu. Du Yan said hurriedly: "Both gentlemen, please sit down and rest for a while. Gyeongbokgung Palace is not a place for quarreling. If you want to quarrel, it's not too late to go back to the court room to argue slowly. The emperor is in the study."
Here, I'll ask the guards to make tea, and the three of us will just wait here."
Yan Shu and Lu Yijian then sat down separately, each with their own thoughts, sitting quietly and waiting.
…
Su Jin followed Eunuch Huang through the cloister. The Jingfu Hall was in the shape of a mouth, with a row of buildings on the outside and a garden in the middle. The early winter sunshine shone in the garden, the evening chrysanthemums were brilliant, and the green trees were shining. It was a beautiful scene.
The sunlight shines on the white stone corridor through the railings between the corridor columns, making the originally dark corridor shine with brilliance.
There were not many people coming and going in the corridor. Occasionally, two palace maids holding teacups and fruit boxes walked by quietly, without squinting and making no sound, just like ghosts floating by. When they saw Eunuch Huang, they were half-crouching.
As soon as he left, Eunuch Huang ignored him and walked forward quickly. It seemed that Eunuch Huang was of high rank in the palace. So far, he had never seen anyone who didn't salute him.
At the end of the corridor, there is an exquisite house with a golden door curtain. Two chamberlains, two bodyguards, and two maids stand on both sides.
Eunuch Huang came to the outside of the curtain and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the person you want to see is here."
There was silence behind the curtain. After a while, a female voice said: "Your Majesty, please come in, Mr. Su."
Eunuch Huang winked at Su Jin. Su Jin nodded, straightened his clothes, touched his bun, and sighed. The two palace maids raised the curtains, and Su Jin lowered his head and got in.
The mouth of the auspicious beast copper incense burner is blowing out curls of cigarettes. Two pots of plants are placed on the two corner cabinets, one high and one low. One pot of begonia and one pot of evergreen; the furnishings in the house are simple and elegant, not as expected.
It is so luxurious and beautiful, but it has a sense of elegance and elegance.
Su Jin glanced around and saw no one. When he was wondering, he heard a gentle male voice tilting his head and said: "Are you Su Jin?"
Su Jin turned around and took a look. It turned out that the bead curtain was hanging on the left side. There was an inner room behind the bead curtain. The bead curtain was swaying, and a blurry figure inside seemed to be floating in the water, which could not be seen clearly.
"The Emperor is asking you something, Mr. Su." A female official lifted up the bead curtain, her beautiful and childish face looking serious.
Su Jin said: "Su Jin, a common man, comes to see the emperor." After saying this, he performed the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers according to Yan Shu's previous instructions.
"Pingshen, come in and answer." The gentle male voice said.
Su Jin lowered his head and entered the inner room. He stood with his head lowered and felt a little nervous. This was the first time in his two lives that he had seen an emperor. In the past, who could say that he could face an ancient emperor? Su Jin was definitely a big deal.
The slap passed, but now, all of this was really happening, and that dreamlike sense of unreality once again filled Su Jin's heart.
"Be casual, don't be restrained, I'm not a man-eating tiger." The man said with a smile.
Su Jin hurriedly said: "The common people are afraid of losing their etiquette and dare not make mistakes."
Zhao Zhen chuckled and said to the female official beside him: "I'll give you a seat for Mr. Su. I'll make a cup of my Longjing tea for Mr. Su to quench his thirst. Then...you all will step aside."
"Yes." The female officials sat down and made tea as instructed, and then quietly left. Su Jin and Zhao Zhen were the only two people left in the imperial study. Su Jin's nervous heart was beating so fast that it almost burst from his throat.
