The carriage stopped more than a hundred steps outside the palace wall. Xia Jingyun got off the carriage and walked towards the palace with Jin Zhong.
Looking at the towering palace wall in front of him, he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his mind.
It has been half a year since I came to this world, and I finally walked from the distant labor camp in Sishui Prefecture to the outside of the palace city.
And, he is about to enter the palace wall.
From this moment on, what changes will happen to your future?
Jin Zhong looked at Xia Jingyun's slightly dazed look, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.
No one could fail to lose consciousness under the pressure of the imperial power when they first saw this majestic palace city, even this Young Master Xia, who had already begun to show his genius, was no exception.
Jin Zhong smiled and said: "Mr. Xia, you will come more often in the future, and you will gradually get used to it."
Xia Jingyun smiled. Of course he heard what Jin Zhong meant. He also knew that Jin Zhong thought he was intimidated by the so-called brilliant power of heaven. Little did he know that he was the most indifferent to this towering palace in the world. He is also the person who has the least respect for this so-called imperial power that is exclusive to him.
But he was not stupid enough to argue with Jin Zhong, so he nodded and said, "With your father-in-law's good advice, let's go."
Showing his waistband, Jin Zhong led Xia Jingyun into the palace wall.
Perhaps it was because of Xia Jingyun's affability, perhaps because Concubine De was standing behind Xia Jingyun, or perhaps it was the bag of gold and silver that had an effect, Jin Zhong whispered thoughtfully to introduce Xia Jingyun.
"After arriving at the place, Master, please do not run around or touch any objects."
"Don't lose your dignity when you play the right words in front of His Majesty."
"This is your first time entering the palace. I don't think His Majesty will be too harsh on you. Many of the current central ministers are a little incoherent when they first meet with you. Mr. Xia, don't be too nervous."
Jin Zhong whispered, Xia Jingyun listened silently, and not long after, he came outside a wide and bright room.
Standing at the door of the room was a eunuch who was much older than Jin Zhong. When he saw Xia Jingyun, he smiled and held his hands, "Mr.
As he spoke, he opened the door and extended his hand to invite you.
Xia Jingyun nodded goodbye to Jin Zhong and walked in.
Standing in the room, he naturally looked at the furnishings in the room subconsciously.
This is obviously a study room, with a large desk, an elegant layout, and a collection of antiques on the shelves that can attract countless people to grab them. Coupled with the dazzling bright yellow color that can be seen everywhere, it is almost like a collection of antiques on the shelves. Study] These three words are on the bright side.
There is a plaque hanging on one wall with the words "Youle Hall" written on it.
Xia Jingyun was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but feel happy.
It seems that I have scratched the itch of His Majesty?
But thinking about it, Fan Wenzhenggong's words are indeed a model for ministers. It is normal for the king to be proud of the demeanor of a national scholar, and by extension.
He knew it, but was not proud of it.
Turning his eyes to the right, he actually saw the calligraphy and painting on the wall that he had given to his sister.
It is clear that it is the water melody song he originally copied.
There is a big bright red seal next to it.
Xia Jingyun was also not surprised that such an eternal song could win the favor of the emperor. After all, it was the first Mid-Autumn Festival song in his world.
At the same time, he has no sense of pride. He is just a propagandist. He can use it secretly to express some emotions and complete some tasks, which is fine. If he really thinks that this is his own level and is complacent, then it would be a bit too shameless. .
But having said that, I can still use the word myself.
Under the careful guidance of Mr. Yun, he absorbed and digested the calligraphy art of this world, and his overall technique became more and more proficient, and he could indeed be called a good calligrapher.
With this little pride, he continued to look around. When his curious eyes fell on the study, his eyes suddenly widened.
I saw an open booklet on the bookshelf, and it was the article I had written in Sishui Prefecture analyzing the purpose and effects of Concubine De's marriage proposal.
This was 100% his own. Xia Jingyun blinked, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and immediately a middle-aged man appeared in Xia Jingyun's field of vision.
He is of medium stature, not tall and powerful, nor short and skinny. He is a bit slender, has a fair face, has a short beard, and has a calm and calm demeanor.
This is not nonsense. I am the only one who dominates. How can I not be calm?
Xia Jingyun saluted quickly, "Xia Jingyun, a common man, pays homage to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
One more thing to say, in the Daxia etiquette, except for serious occasions such as sacrifices and receiving orders, the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping is not very common. Even at the beginning of the founding of the country, courtiers still had seats when attending court. After it was canceled later, they only needed to bow and bow. .
This made Xia Jingyun feel very good.
"Haha! No gifts!"
Emperor Chongning seemed to be really easy-going, or he really admired Xia Jingyun. He actually stretched out his hand to help Xia Jingyun up, then held his hand and looked at him with satisfaction, "You are indeed a talented person. Once you come here, this In Zhongjing City, I don’t know how many powerful and wealthy people have been unable to sleep at night.”
Xia Jingyun was a little flattered and humbly said, "Your Majesty's virtues are all over the world. There are many outstanding people in the four seas who are far better than ordinary people."
"Haha!" Emperor Chongning smiled and let go of his hand, "They are all members of the family, there is no need to be restrained, just sit down and talk!"
My own family?
Xia Jingyun's heart skipped a beat as he sat down on the stool brought by the eunuch and nodded to him in thanks.
Emperor Chongning reached for the book on the table and said with a smile: "Before you came, I was reading your poems and essays. They are indeed good, talented, insightful, and more importantly, you have a loyal and patriotic heart. This is something I particularly appreciate.”
Xia Jingyun raised his butt slightly, "It's all thanks to the education of the country and the dynasty that spread all over the world, so that ordinary people can read and write, read and know etiquette. They should be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and repay them with thoughts."
"It would be great if everyone thought like you!"
Emperor Chongning snorted, "There are some people who have been favored by the emperor in this life, but they are domineering and overbearing. They do not want to be loyal to the country, and they are greedy for power and money. You suffered last night."
Xia Jingyun stood up quickly and said, "The incident of the common people has disturbed His Majesty. I am extremely frightened. I have not yet thanked Your Majesty for upholding justice and repaying the innocent kindness of the common people."
Emperor Chongning seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "I also know that you are not that pedantic scholar, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do what you did last night, so there is no need to be so polite in front of me."
Xia Jingyun laughed twice, "Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch. Naturally, the little thoughts of ordinary people cannot be hidden from His Majesty's eyes."
Emperor Chongning stood up and stood by the window, looking out the window with his hands behind his hands, "What you did last night has touched my heart. The court needs balance. The Lu family is indeed a little too powerful, but you can't force it without any reason." , you handed me the knife just right."
He turned around and looked at Xia Jingyun, "The Lu family handed over three positions, one is the Minister of War, one is the Lieutenant General, and one is the General of the Central Guards. This matter can be considered as your contribution. I can reward you with one of the positions. You are now Of course, if you haven't passed the imperial examination, you can't take it yourself, but you can give it to your sister and let her distribute it. It can be regarded as a meeting gift from you."
Xia Jingyun stood up again, much faster than before, "The common people are scared. The common people dare not speak nonsense about such important affairs of the country, let alone get involved."
Emperor Chongning was a little impatient, "I admire you, so I say these personal words to you. These things are all things I know well. There is nothing I dare to say!"
Xia Jingyun directly knelt on his knees, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, what the common people did last night was just to protect themselves. They dare not speak of the important weapons of the military and state, and they dare not treat the official positions of the country as private property. Isn't the so-called king's land the whole world?" , it is the king's ministers who lead the land. This matter depends on His Majesty's decision. The common people are only willing to be useful to repay the king's love and benefit the country. They dare not play with power and regard the official title as private property! The common people are brave, please. Your Majesty takes back his orders!"
"You kid!" Emperor Chongning felt helpless, "I ask you again, if you missed this opportunity, don't blame me for not being considerate of Concubine De and not taking care of you!"
You'd better never be considerate again
Xia Jingyun said quickly: "What the common people said comes from the bottom of my heart. Please forgive me!"
"Okay! Get up."
Emperor Chongning's attitude suddenly turned cold, "I'm a little tired. Let Gao Yi take you to Changle Palace to see your sister."
Xia Jingyun slowly stood up and said, "Retreat!"
Facing Emperor Chongning, he slowly backed away, exited the room, and secretly let out a long breath.
Under the outer robe, the entire back was completely soaked.
In the imperial study, Emperor Chongning leaned on the table, recalling Xia Jingyun's words just now, his eyes passed over the plaque of Youle Hall, and he chuckled.
