Fang An was resting in the concierge. When he heard a knock on the door, he quickly got up and opened the side door next to the main door.
"It's so late, who is it?"
While rubbing his eyes, Fang An looked out the door, and then he was startled.
Outside the door is the eunuch of the palace.
"What's the matter, father-in-law?" Fang An asked quickly.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xuanlin, enters the palace."
"when?"
"Now."
After finishing his words, without waiting for Fang An's response, the eunuch turned around and got on the carriage, quickly disappearing into the night.
Fang An didn't dare to delay and hurried to the backyard of Lin Mansion.
Just as he stepped through the arch, he saw Lin Ji sitting on the edge of the flower bed with a pot of wine in his hand.
"master"
"I know, you don't need to pay attention to this matter, go down and rest."
Fang An's expression froze for a moment, and he immediately understood that this was because the master with his extraordinary powers had heard the movement outside the door just now, so he bowed and bowed before retreating.
After Fang An left, Lin Ji picked up the wine jar next to him and took a swig, until not a single drop could be poured out.
"This wine is very light and not good to drink."
This was brought from a restaurant in the city when Fang An went to prepare a banquet in the evening. The table full of delicacies was still on the table in the restaurant, but it had already cooled down.
Lin Ji came to the restaurant, opened another bottle of wine and took a deep breath. He pinched slices of thin and even white meat, dipped it in minced garlic and sauce and stuffed it into his mouth.
After chewing for a moment, his eyes lit up.
"It is obtained from the third strand of meat on the butt of the pig, which should be called butt meat. Although the meat here is also streaky, it is seven thin and three fat, just right. The chef here is very particular about it."
Unable to resist pinching a few more slices of white meat, Lin Ji finally put down the wine jar, wiped his greasy hands on his clothes, walked out of the restaurant, and walked all the way out, out of the Lin Mansion.
"It would be too unreasonable to summon me into the palace at this time."
With some doubts, Lin Ji quickly arrived outside the palace.
There was already a eunuch waiting at the palace gate. Before the general guarding the palace gate could ask, the eunuch came to greet him and bowed to the end.
"Is this Lin Tianguan? Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
"Excuse me, father-in-law, please lead the way."
"It should."
He followed the eunuch all the way into the palace, passed the Changhua Palace where he usually went to court, and passed the Taihua Palace's imperial study room of Emperor Pei.
Finally, Lin Ji was brought to the imperial garden.
This was the first time Lin Ji had set foot in the depths of the Great Qin Palace.
The eunuch who led the way left quietly, and Lin Ji had already seen the somewhat lonely figure waiting in the pavilion.
Even though they were far apart, Emperor Pei took the initiative to stand up and wave to Lin Ji.
This look does not look like a king facing his ministers, but rather like an old friend who has not seen him for a long time meeting again after a long absence, with a bit of impatient excitement.
Lin Ji felt a little surprised, but did not want to be rude.
He took a few quick steps and arrived in front of Emperor Pei, bowing slightly to Emperor Pei.
"You Tianguan Lin Ji has met His Majesty."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Ji suddenly saw Pei Di approaching him, grabbed his wrist, and said with some intimacy: "You and I are a family, and there are no outsiders here, why are we so restricted? Sit down, I will
I want to have a good talk with you tonight.” …
While talking, Lin Ji was led to sit down next to Pei Di.
After sitting down, Emperor Pei stood up again, picked up the wine bottle on the table and started to pour wine for Lin Ji.
"I sent all the maids away tonight, but there is no one to wait on me. But I guess you don't like to be waited on." Pei Di pushed away Lin Ji's hand that wanted to stop him, and filled a cup for him himself.
liquor.
"Just this once, then you can pour the bar yourself hahaha."
Pei Di put down the wine bottle and looked at Lin Ji's somewhat at a loss, feeling increasingly interesting.
Hearing this, Lin Ji raised his glass and made a toast, then drank all the wine in the glass.
Emperor Pei also gave him enough face and drank it all in one gulp.
After putting down the wine glass, Lin Ji asked: "Your Majesty summoned ministers here so late just to drink."
"Yes, not entirely." Pei Emperor shook his head slightly, and the expression on his face became calmer, "But that's all for later. We won't get drunk for now. We'll discuss it tomorrow if we have anything to do."
With that said, Emperor Pei picked up the wine pot again.
But this time, Lin Ji raised his hand and pressed it on the back of Pei Emperor's hand with a bit of presumption.
"Your Majesty, how can I, He De, drink with Your Majesty?" Lin Ji said softly, "I hope Your Majesty will get straight to the point, and don't make me feel scared anymore."
Hearing this, Emperor Pei raised his eyebrows and put down the wine bottle in his hand.
"You, Lin Ji, are also scared?"
"Who dares not to be frightened when facing the Nine-Fifth Supreme Being?"
"You dare to put your hand on mine, but this doesn't seem like what a frightened person would do." Emperor Pei sighed softly, "Lin Ji, in the eyes of the Taoist monks like you, am I, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty?
, in fact, it’s nothing?”
"I don't dare. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you are still a subject of Jiuzhou. Your Majesty is the Lord of Jiuzhou. How dare Lin?"
"Panlong Mountain, Kowloon Terrace."
Before Lin Ji could finish speaking, Emperor Pei suddenly spoke.
Lin Ji was stunned and didn't know why.
"A few days ago, I went to Panlong Mountain and took a look at the place where my Qin family's dragons rise. I met my grandfather who has been on the mountain all year round. I said some words and received a lecture."
"Wei Chen doesn't understand." Lin Ji was confused, but he also understood that Emperor Pei seemed to be really going to get straight to the point.
Emperor Pei picked up the wine pot again, but this time he took a sip directly into the spout.
He wiped his mouth with his sleeve a little wildly, then grinned and changed the topic.
"It was because I was greedy and tried to control the Tiansi that I allowed Lan Zeying to take charge of the Tiansi. I did what the ancestors of the Qin family did not dare to do in the past thousand years, and chaos broke out in Kyushu. The Palace of Immortality also saw an opportunity.
."
"Now I understand that if we want to bring order to the chaos, the first person to bear the brunt is Supervisor Tiansi." Pei Emperor continued, "Only when Supervisor Tiansi remains the same Supervisor Tiansi as before, can the Jiuzhou be at peace. Unfortunately, now the Eunuch Party's hand can't be reached.
It’s too long, and if you try to break their claws, it will be too late.”
"What does Your Majesty want to say?" Lin Ji asked with a frown.
"I called you to the capital because I hope you can take up the responsibility of overseeing the Tiansi, just like Fang Yunshan once did. I don't care what you do, as long as you can check and balance the eunuchs, that's enough."
Hearing this, Lin Ji stood up without thinking.
"If this is the case, Your Majesty may have found the wrong person."
"What?" Pei Di raised his eyebrows.
"Lin is not as prestigious as Lord Fang in the Supervisory Heaven Division, nor is he as strong in cultivation as Lord Fang. Lin is only in the early stages of entering the Taoist realm and cannot bear such a heavy responsibility."
Pei Di was not surprised.
"If I had known you had a lazy temper, I would have expected you to be unwilling to carry the cauldron."
After the words fell, Emperor Pei stood up and stretched.
"If you don't want to get close to me, I won't force you. But Lin Ji."
"I'm here."
"What I said tonight are my own words. If you change your mind someday, just come back to the palace."
After a pause, Emperor Pei let out a long sigh of relief.
"At least for the next period of time, I am of the same mind as you and Fang Yunshan behind you."
