"There will be something sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate early tomorrow morning. You are responsible for delivering this thing safely to the Golden Summit of Xiantao Mountain."
"Huh?" Xia Shang was a little confused, but he still agreed.
The emperor continued to give instructions: "In a few days, I will personally go to the Golden Summit of Xiantao Mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven. The things I escort for you are sacred objects for offering sacrifices to heaven. They are very important. I am worried that someone will cause trouble, so you have to gather all the people to inspect."
The hospital's strength will be concentrated on the escort, and there must be no mistakes."
"I obey your order." Although Xia Shang was full of doubts, what he wanted most now was to leave quickly, so he added, "If nothing happens, I will go back and make preparations."
Xia Shang wanted to leave, but the emperor stopped him: "Don't be in a hurry!"
Xia Shang was extremely anxious, but he couldn't show it.
"Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"
The emperor did not answer immediately, but slowly stood up, and then slowly got down from the dragon chair.
Now the emperor's body seems to be weaker, and every step he takes seems to be very difficult.
Xia Shang was worried as he watched, fearing that the old man might accidentally fall down the steps.
He wanted to go up and help him, but he was afraid that such an action would be inappropriate.
But strangely enough, the old and frail emperor never had any extra protection around him, especially in this palace.
For example, when meeting Xia Shang alone now, without any defense, wouldn't the old man be worried about his own safety?
Maybe it's because he is older and no longer cares about life and death, but it is not easy for people from the imperial family to have such a consciousness.
Xia Shang had not heard anything about what happened in the court, but he occasionally heard people say that due to the emperor's health, he had not officially attended court for almost three months.
Zhezi from various places were divided into two batches, one batch was given to the prince for review, and the other batch was said to be reviewed and approved by the emperor when he was sober.
In the memory of Xia and Shang, there was no dynasty like the current dynasty in the history he knew. The so-called court and the emperor actually did not have much restriction on the world. At least in the hearts of Xia and Shang, the emperor and the court
It didn't play a big role.
But what is strange is that there is not so much turmoil in the world.
People in the world are still full of awe for this court and the emperor.
Xia Shang's thoughts were wandering, and before he knew it, the emperor had walked up to Xia Shang, grabbed Xia Shang's arm with one hand, and took out a brocade box with the other.
Xia Shang was stunned when he saw the brocade box. Isn't this the brocade box that Xia Shang gave to King Yong?
"Yesterday, I received this item."
Xia Shang pretended to be confused: "I don't know what this is?"
The emperor glanced at Xia Shang, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Shouldn't you know this matter better than me?"
Xia Shang felt guilty and thought to himself that the emperor knew that he had been hiding it secretly and gave it to the third prince?
The reason why Xia Shang handed this thing to King Yong under the pretense of Fenghui Bank was because they did not want to expose themselves.
Now it seems that Xia and Shang were completely unnecessary. It turned out that the emperor knew everything.
Xia Shang did not answer, and the emperor continued: "You don't have to be so nervous. Since you know what it is, you should know that I don't actually care about it. What I care about is the human heart!"
Having already talked about this matter, Xia Shang knew that there was no need to pretend to know nothing. He could only reply with a wry smile: "Your Majesty is wise. It seems that nothing in this world can be hidden from the Emperor."
"Although I am old, nothing in the world, true or false, can be hidden from me. Take you for example. From the first time I met you in Yangzhou, I knew that you were not an ordinary person. Your fate
Your character is not in the luck, as if it fell from the sky. The mountains, rivers, rivers, lakes, flowers, birds, insects, fish, and millions of people in this world have nothing to do with you. What I see from you is
Layers upon layers of fog.”
Xia Shang's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that this emperor has such a unique vision? Can he even feel that he has traveled through time?
But it can be judged from the emperor's current words that the other party has not yet determined the true origin of Xia and Shang, and even if he knew it, what would it mean?
"Back then, I thought I still had a lot of time. I thought that as long as I was still in charge of the country, people like you wouldn't be able to make big waves. At the same time, I also thought that you were a rare talent. With your ability,
It should be a good choice to take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and contain the forces in the world."
The emperor paused for a moment, "But looking at it now, everything you have shown has exceeded
My expectations. As far as this little pen is concerned, this is not a profound test. But you are the only one in the world who can guess my true intentions. Your intelligence is superior to everyone in the world, even if
Even I would be a little uneasy, but fortunately you are lacking in talent in martial arts, otherwise even I might not be able to control you."
The corner of Xia Shang's mouth twitched. Looking at the emperor speaking seriously, he suddenly felt like laughing.
This old guy blew himself up to the sky, but did not forget to elevate himself in the end. If the person speaking was not the emperor, Xia Shang would definitely think that his pretentious skills had reached the level of proficiency.
But the person speaking was the Emperor, the most powerful person in the world, yet he still spoke so seriously, as if stating something irrefutable.
It can be seen that this old man has a very accurate vision and is extremely conceited about himself.
But what does he mean by saying this?
In this regard, the emperor seemed to have no intention of explaining more, and patted Xia Shang on the shoulder: "Pay more attention to the things I entrust you with, and step back."
He drove Xia Shang away with an unprovoked word.
Xia Shang felt that the emperor's words were a bit puzzling, but he had no time to think about it. He didn't bother to worry about tomorrow's task.
Now it's like he found his wife and took his family away from this place of trouble.
When he came out of the palace, his father-in-law, who had been waiting for a long time, came up to him again, chatted with Xia Shang with a smile, and then prepared to send Xia Shang out of the palace.
Xia Shang said that he would just leave and signaled to his father-in-law that he did not need to follow him.
This father-in-law was also a man, and he didn't want to go into details, so he told him not to stay in the palace, and then left.
The palace is very big, and it is not easy to find someone secretly. Now he can only find a way to find the queen.
Xia Shang had some impressions of the queen's residence, so he could only rely on his memory to find it.
After a lot of effort, Xia Shang finally found the palace where he had a one-night stand with the queen.
This place has long lost its appearance as Xia Shang remembered it, and it was empty without a single person. However, the furnishings and furniture inside were very clean, and there were obvious signs of human habitation, so Xia Shang concluded that the queen still lived here.
It was getting late now and the sky was getting dark. Xia Shang could no longer be a headless fly and could only wait here.
