Zhao Xun read a poem in his previous life, and two sentences in it left a deep impression on him.
"If you don't see the emperor's residence strong, you will know that the emperor is respected."
When he actually arrived in front of the Daming Palace of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Xun was still shocked by the majestic buildings.
The nine heavens closed the palace, and all the nations wore their hats and worshiped them!
Maybe this is the spirit of Tianjia?
Although Zhao Xun was very excited, he kept reminding himself that it was extremely dangerous to enter the palace to face the saints, so he must be cautious in his words and actions and walk on thin ice.
A single mistake or negligence may directly lead to the death of one's family. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. This is no joke.
The main entrance of Daming Palace is Danfeng Gate, facing Hanyuan Hall to the north.
The Hanyuan Hall looks extremely majestic from a distance, being as big as several Taihe Halls in later generations.
However, the place where Zhao Xun met the Saint was not here, but in the Zichen Hall of Neiya.
Hanyuan Hall is where the great court meetings are held. Generally, the great court meetings are only held here on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and are closed at other times.
Zhao Xun did not have time to observe Hanyuan Hall, but followed Zhongguan and walked quickly, passing through Xuanzheng Hall and through Zichen Gate, and entered the inner office.
As the main hall of the inner government, Zichen Hall does not look as grand as Hanyuan Hall and Xuanzheng Hall, but the aristocratic aura of Tianjia still makes people feel breathless.
Especially for a master like Zhao Xun who was entering the palace to meet the saint for the first time, he was so nervous that it was difficult to breathe.
"Young Master, please go ahead and report this. Please stand here and don't move."
Zhao Xun quickly cupped his hands and said, "Father, please don't worry."
After the lieutenant took small steps up to the hall, Zhao Xun closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm down. After a long time, he opened his eyes and straightened his clothes.
After about a cup of tea, Zhao Xunfang heard the eunuchs on both sides of the Zichen Palace chanting: "Your Majesty declares the prince Zhao Xun to be here."
Zhao Xun took a deep breath, shook up his robe, and walked up the steps.
The platform foundation of Zichen Hall was so high that Zhao Xun was out of breath after climbing up. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened his appearance again, and then plucked up the courage to enter the main hall.
The light in the temple is not very bright, even a little dim.
Combined with the strong smell of ambergris, the atmosphere feels very strange.
This was very different from the scene Zhao Xun had envisioned, but now that they were here, he had no way out.
Before coming, Zhao Xun had already recited the explanation in his mind countless times, so he had a rough draft.
When the emperor asks questions, he only needs to answer according to the manuscript.
Zhao Xun walked gently and slowly all the way to a screen that was as high as the entire palace. Zhao Xun saw the young official who led him into the palace again. He nodded slightly and walked around the screen.
Arriving at Nuan Pavilion, Zhao Xun saw a middle-aged man wearing a yellow four-cup dragon narrow-sleeved round collar robe with his back to him.
As a liberal arts student with a high degree of self-cultivation, Zhao Xun certainly knew that the person in front of him was the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty. He quickly pushed the jade pillar from the Jinshan Mountain and knelt down on the ground to salute: "My humble minister, Zhao Xun, pays homage to your majesty. May your majesty live forever."
As a descendant of a noble family, it is natural to learn etiquette and etiquette from an early age. However, this was the first time that Zhao Xun applied the knowledge he learned to the practice of face-to-face.
I thought that the emperor would tell him to be flat next, but unexpectedly, the emperor of Zhou Dynasty said coldly: "Zhao Xun, you are so brave, do you know that you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Zhao Xun's heart suddenly thumped.
He had already prepared a full set of rhetoric, but unexpectedly the emperor did not follow the routine and caught him off guard.
Zhao Xun could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation."
Emperor Li Chengji of the Great Zhou Dynasty had turned around and walked towards Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun didn't dare to look up, but he could still clearly see the emperor's boots.
The Emperor of Zhou stopped five steps away from Zhao Xun and said without any emotion: "I will listen to your explanation."
Zhao Xun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there was a conflict between the minister and His Royal Highness the King of Wei on Zuixiaoxiang that day. The minister was drunk and accidentally fell downstairs. In the eyes of outsiders, the minister was killed on the spot. Later, the minister was killed on the spot. The elders in the family have also asked eminent monks to perform religious rituals for salvation, and they are waiting for the coffin to be nailed and buried. But in fact, my soul did not fly away, but entered an empty space."
These words obviously aroused the emperor's interest. Emperor Zhou said calmly: "Go on."
Zhao Xun continued in a harmonious voice: "This empty space could not be seen at first glance, but suddenly the clouds cleared and the fog appeared, and a desert appeared. A green dragon appeared in the sky above the desert, and it has been circling around the minister, leading him all the way to the court. I walked forward. After walking for a long time, I saw an oasis. There was a city in the oasis called Chang'an. The city of Chang'an not only had 108 squares as many as the capital, but also a group of magnificent palaces. There is a very special building in the group, which is covered with blue tiles and has the four characters "Haoran Academy" written on it."
When he heard this, Emperor Zhou was obviously very interested.
"You said, you saw Qinglong and Haoran Academy?"
"That's exactly what your Majesty said."
Zhao Xun answered decisively, because he was convinced that only a combination of true and false could get through.
He did see Haoran Academy, but it was only after his master Wu Quanyi gave him "The First Enlightenment of Wenzong" that he realized it after he meditated and entered meditation. As for the Qinglong Guide, he made it up completely.
But what can Zhao Xun do? He can't explain to the emperor that he is actually a Buddhist youth from another dimension, right?
Even His Majesty the Emperor wouldn't believe it.
True and false, false and true, it is possible to get away with it.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Zhao Xun traveled to a world of practitioners.
If he traveled back in time to an ordinary feudal dynasty, if he dared to say this, he would definitely be labeled as a liar.
Emperor Zhou did not reply immediately, but quietly observed Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun knelt there silently, forcing his muscles all over his body not to tremble.
This level is very important, and only if you survive it will things come next.
Zhao Xun didn't want to go back in time and get stuck as soon as he came up.
After a long time, Emperor Zhou finally sighed and said somewhat helplessly: "Get up."
Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief and stood up carefully.
Despite this, he still tied his hands and lowered his eyebrows, not daring to raise his head to look at the emperor.
"It seems that your soul met Qinglong and the Academy. This is also a chance. With the Haoran Qi in your body, you can come back to life."
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty obviously knew the power of Haoran Academy, and was not surprised at all that Zhao Xun could come back from the dead.
"In this case, you are not completely deceiving the emperor. I originally prepared poisonous wine and white training for you, letting you choose one of the two."
Although the emperor of Zhou Dynasty said it calmly and calmly, to Zhao Xun it sounded like he had been struck by lightning.
If he had said a wrong word just now, he might have had to stand up and go out lying down, right?
It's a good risk, it's really a good risk.
