royal palace.
Song Xuan just glanced at the soldiers stationed layer by layer without paying attention.
As for the several master-level experts hidden in the dark, Song Xuan stayed for a while longer looking at them from across the palace.
After all, it is the core of the power of the dynasty. He who is qualified to lead the palace guards is not weak in strength. In his perception, even if it is not as good as the Wujue level, it is still similar to the man in white from the East China Sea.
As for the Grand Master, he didn't sense it.
Existences at that level have martial arts fields that can isolate all their own auras. Unless the other party takes the initiative to reveal themselves, even if they stand in front of you, you will only think that they are ordinary people.
"Master Ye, you are here!"
Eunuch Cao, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, Bingbi, the Chief Eunuch, seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When he saw Ye Tian and Song Xuan, his originally expressionless expression suddenly showed a smile on his face, and he greeted them with a smile.
Ye Tian hummed, "Come and meet the Emperor. Is Your Majesty free?"
"Wait a moment, I will go and report to you."
Soon, Eunuch Cao left and returned, "Your Majesty, please invite the two adults in."
The imperial study room was not large in size, but it was elegant and luxurious. Song Xuan did not care about these, but immediately focused on the emperor whose name he had heard for a long time but who had not seen him.
The Emperor is tall and slender, but somewhat thin. He already has white hair on his temples, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows cannot be covered up at all.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the noble aura of the emperor could be overwhelming, but Song Xuan didn't feel anything at all, because he determined the emperor's current state immediately.
Kidney deficiency!
Extreme kidney deficiency!
Song Xuan also expressed his understanding of this.
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, how many men can survive without kidney deficiency?
Moreover, the emperor's cultivation level is only the most ordinary innate realm, which is probably the kind that can be achieved by relying on pills. His martial arts qualifications should be average, and it is normal for his body to be unable to bear it.
"Your Majesty!" Ye Tian bowed his hands to the emperor politely.
Song Xuan followed suit and accepted it.
The emperor's face paused, but he didn't have any special reaction. Instead, he put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "I heard that Song Xuan just returned to Beijing today, so Ye Tian, you are anxious to bring him to see me.
What, is this a good handover of command? "
"Actually, there is nothing to hand over. With Song Xuan's ability, he will be familiar with it quickly."
The emperor frowned slightly, "Are you so eager to resign?"
Ye Tian nodded and said: "Your Majesty should also know that I don't really care about the position of commander. What I really aspire to pursue has always been to become a grand master.
After resigning this time, I will go into seclusion and practice hard. I will not enter the realm of a great master and will not leave seclusion again. "
"You want to break through the Grand Master?"
The Emperor pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, "It's okay, your martial arts qualifications have always been excellent. Since you have this plan, I can't stop you. If you need anything, you can mention it to me.
Given our relationship, if I don’t have it here, I will find a way to get it for you! "
The emperor felt a little excited.
He knew that Ye Tian had some opinions about him because of Xuan Yiwei's incident.
But there are opinions, and the emperor has a very clear grasp of Ye Tian's temperament, and the other party cares about the petty affection between the two.
If Ye Tian really breaks through to the realm of Grand Master in the future, relying on the friendship between the two, he is sure to ask Ye Tian to help him.
Life is like a drama and all depends on acting skills. As long as the emotional card is played well, Ye Tian may be his most important trump card in the future.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I have already prepared what I need to prepare, and there is nothing else needed."
As he spoke, he clasped his fists again and bowed in a rare salute, "Your Majesty, coming here today can be regarded as completing the replacement of the old and new commanders. From now on, your Majesty and Song Xuan can discuss the matter of Xuan Yi Guard.
Sir, resign! "
He glanced at the Emperor with a complicated expression, and wanted to remind His Majesty that it was better to restrain some methods.
It's not that I don't know about your methods, I just miss my old relationship.
But there is no affection between you and Song Xuan. If you really piss him off, he would really dare to deal with you!
His lips opened slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.
I have resigned, and talking too much will only make people annoying.
After Ye Tian left, Eunuch Cao followed him out very wisely. Only the emperor and Ye Tian were left in the imperial study.
"Come, Song Xuan, sit down!" the emperor said in greeting.
Song Xuan was not polite and directly pulled a chair aside and sat down.
This scene made the emperor's eyelids jump.
This stupid young man, I am just being polite, but you are really rude.
Although he was unhappy in his heart, there was no change on his face. Instead, he still had a warm smile on his face, as if an elder looked at a younger generation, "I have heard your name many times.
Your one billion taels of silver back then really solved my urgent need. "
In the past few years, the emperor has lived a very comfortable life. He has money in his hands and is really confident. Many things that he had been worried about in the past were all out of the question after spending a large amount of money.
Maintaining rule requires force, but running a country requires money.
Without money, you are the emperor, and neither the people nor the ministers will take you seriously.
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise. It is the duty of the Xuanyi Guards to relieve the Emperor's worries."
Song Xuan's soul has already calculated. Based on the extent of the emperor's kidney deficiency, it is estimated that he has at most half a year to live. His life essence has been overdrawn to the limit, and it can no longer be replenished with elixirs.
In this case, he didn't bother to talk nonsense and answered very officially.
The emperor was slightly startled in his heart, this boy is a bit out of touch.
I express goodwill to you, and you just respond so lukewarmly?
Do you really think that if you sit in the position of commander, you have the power and don't have to worry about anything?
Xuanyi Guards, no matter how powerful they are, they are all the emperor's personal soldiers in name. I hold the title of righteousness and am your immediate boss. Is this how you treat your boss?
With a slight thought, the emperor smiled and said: "You are not too young. I heard that you haven't married a wife yet?"
Song Xuan nodded.
"My little princess, Princess Miaoling, is twenty-eight years old. She is in her best years. If Ai Qing is interested, I will marry her to you. How about that?"
"I appreciate your Majesty's kindness, but I am already engaged and will get married soon."
The emperor said nonchalantly: "It's just an engagement, and we haven't gotten married yet, so just cancel it.
If your beloved is in trouble, I will issue a decree to marry you directly, and I will bear the bad reputation for you, how about it?
I think that the woman you are engaged to can be better than the little princess I love most? "
Song Xuan shook his head, "This is really incomparable!"
