Since Dahai has so many aunts to take care of him at home, Lin Yan and the others can relax and leave.
However, a few days later, something happened that puzzled Lin Yan and others. That was that Emperor Tang wanted to summon Lin Yan and others because of the incident involving Wei Meng.
Because Lin Yan and others were good at discovering problems during the assessment and did not stick to the rules. Later, they were not afraid of power and sought justice for Wei Meng. They were indeed role models for students, so the emperor planned to call them to commend them.
The reason why it took so long was because Lin Yan and others went on a mission to the wilderness, so they made arrangements as soon as they came back!
However, Lin Yan always felt that things were not that simple. Let’s not talk about how such a trivial matter could alert the Emperor Tang, who was busy with everything. Moreover, even if the divine will was unpredictable, and he suddenly wanted to summon them, how could he choose this time?
All of this made Lin Yan think deeply. But it's useless to think too much. Emperor Tang summoned them and they could go if they wanted to or if they didn't want to.
They can't help but give this face! To this end, Lin Yan and the others secretly bumped into each other and had a brief exchange.
Of course, the main reason is to learn from Li Zongsheng and Xue Nishang and see if there is anything that needs attention.
After all, once you enter the palace, if you accidentally say something wrong or do something wrong, you may lose your head in the next moment!
This is why they are not cautious. As for Xu Dahai, because he happened to be injured, Emperor Tang gave him permission not to have to attend the meeting, which made others a little envious.
But after some exchanges, Lin Yan was disappointed to find that Li Zongsheng didn't understand the rules of the palace at all and could not serve as a reference at all.
In fact, it makes sense to think about it, Lao Li is not from the palace.
"Officer on duty" naturally has no way of knowing the strict rules unless he has been there since he was a child.
"Be ruthless", in order to serve the emperor
"Self-sublimation". But the price is too high. Even if he is willing, his father is not willing!
It’s not that I can’t bear to leave my son, but I really can’t afford to lose that person! And Xue Nichang was even less able to point it out. As a member of a family of military generals, she could fight, but it was difficult for her to study these things!
Even until now, the girl Nishang doesn't even know how to salute her daughter's family. What she yearns for is a general like her father, who holds his hands in fists and is bold and heroic, but lacks a bit of femininity.
But he only dared to think about this in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Xue Nichang, because he was afraid that the girl would get angry and beat him!
Lin Yan put his hand on his forehead and thought helplessly:
"I am totally wiped out by Qing Qing. No one is reliable in this regard!" Fortunately, Lin Yan didn't have to worry about it for too long. The palace sent a few people to teach them some basic etiquette in the palace to avoid conflicts. The holy driver.
Listening to the unique male duck voices of those people, Lin Yan understood that these people were professionals in the palace.
"Officer on duty". After two or three days of simple training, although Lin Yan and the others did not master it very well, at least they behaved a little better and were not too rude.
Of course with those
From the perspective of "professionals", Lin Yan and the others are still far behind, but after all, time is tight, and they are only going in this time. They may never have this opportunity again in their lifetime.
Therefore, the few drake voices are not so harsh. During the private exchanges between several people, they roughly guessed some of the reasons why they were summoned this time.
Li Zongsheng believed that the purpose of Emperor Tang's summoning them this time was obviously to
"The drunkard's intention is not to drink", he has other motives! Although the Tang State was powerful, the Taoist leader Xuantian Sect and the academy were both giants to him, and he could not take them lightly.
As the emperor, all he needs to consider is
"balance"! In recent years, the Xuantian Sect has become stronger and stronger, even to the point of affecting the Tang Dynasty, so the Emperor of Tang may have some thoughts favoring the academy in order to achieve some kind of balance.
Summoning Lin Yan and the others was just a pretext to release some signals, but the summoning itself may not be important!
Xue Nichang also believes that this is just another kind of
It's just an application of the "Emperor's Mind Technique", so don't be too nervous! Lin Yan and Ming Ya listened to them quietly and did not express any opinions. It was because they did not understand these things at all!
In fact, based on the experience of Li Zongsheng and Xue Nichang, no matter how talented they are, it is impossible to figure this out in a short time. Most of them heard it from their elders at home.
For example, Lao Li's father and the general's grandmother, this also proves one point from the side -
"Ginger, it's still spicy when you're old"! ...Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day to enter the palace to meet the saint.
Although the four of them were well prepared, they were still a little nervous. This is normal, after all, what they are about to see is the Emperor of Tang, who is inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people. He is the being who holds the power of life and death for everyone in the Tang Kingdom!
Follow those with drake voices
"Professionals" walked into the palace city and passed through many checkpoints along the way. The guards were extremely tight, which added more tension to the atmosphere.
Fortunately, there was a male duck in front of him to clear the way, so Lin Yan and the others did not encounter any obstacles along the way, which made them secretly sigh:
"As expected of a 'professional'!" The male ducks walked around in circles, led Lin Yan and others to a study room, and then turned around and left.
Before leaving, he told a few people not to run around and to wait quietly here. His Majesty will come to summon them later.
After these drake voices left and no one was watching, Li Zongsheng gradually became bolder.
Among the few people, his character is inherently restless, and it is extremely rare to be able to stay in one place for even half a stick of incense!
He wandered around the room with his hands behind his back, like a visitor to an antique market.
"Old oil man". Look here, look there, and if you find something you like, you might even want to touch it.
Fortunately, Xue Nichang stopped him in time! joke! Where is this? This is the imperial study of Emperor Tang, not a grocery store on the street. Can you tolerate your wantonness here?
Although those drake voices are gone, there may be other people watching outside! After all, this is the inner courtyard of the palace. Where the emperor is, even if there is a sentry every three steps or a post every five steps, it will not surprise anyone!
If you accidentally bump something, wouldn't you be looking for trouble? She had heard the legend that a divine general accidentally broke a glass cup and was later demoted to the human world to suffer by the Emperor of Heaven. Since there is
"Learning from the past", she doesn't want to
"Try the law by yourself." As the saying goes:
"Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger!" Who knows what the temperament of our emperor is, but he is not a gentle and honest man.
In this case, of course one should be more cautious, so why do you dare to commit suicide? But Li Zongsheng's temper was like this, and it would be even worse to not let him move than to kill him.
Just when everyone was getting bored of waiting, there was a burst of rapid footsteps. Lin Yan and others quickly adjusted their appearance, leaned forward, lowered their heads and saluted in the direction of the sound.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and when he got closer, Lin Yan realized something was wrong. Because just judging from the hem of the visitor's clothes, it is absolutely impossible to be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
As the emperor, the standard color of the royal family is
"Yellow", even if you wear regular clothes, it should be this color. It was obvious that the person who came was wearing dark red clothes, with a blue striped hem, and his footsteps were too hasty, which was not in line with the etiquette of an emperor.
"Everyone, get up!" As the voice came, Lin Yan and others looked up and saw no figure of Emperor Tang. Instead, a man in a crimson brocade robe led several drakes here.
If you think about it carefully, the person who made the noise seems to have a male duck voice. Then his suspicion was verified. The leader glanced at Lin Yan and others, and then said with a pinched voice:
"We are the chief servants here. I am here today to convey His Majesty's instructions to you - His Majesty has important matters at the moment, so he will not summon you!" Lin Yan didn't have much reaction when he heard this, but Li Zongsheng was a little disappointed. After all, he had practiced After such a long time, both Mingya and Mingya breathed a sigh of relief. After all, meeting such a person at such a close distance
The "95th Supreme" is still under great pressure! The chamberlain then continued:
"Although you did not have the honor of meeting the saint this time, His Majesty still gave you a reward to commend you for not fearing power and upholding the laws of the Tang Dynasty!" As his words fell, several drake voices raised their voices. Platefuls of things came up, some were yellow, some were white, and some were black?
The yellow one is gold, the white one is silver, and as for the black one, it seems to be something like an identity card. Li Zongsheng and Xue Nishang looked at those yellow and white things with limited excitement, but Lin Yan and Ming Ya's eyes were straight.
They looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts, which was:
"Get rich!" Even with and
With the cooperation of "Xu Ji", Lin Yan also felt that it was not easy to make money. Moreover, he and Mingya had survived the hard times step by step, so they naturally liked these things.
As for Li Zongsheng and the others, they were from wealthy families, and they were not in short supply of money. Although they were not completely ignoring him at this moment, they were completely different from Lin Yan's feelings.
This is why the pessimism of the rich and the poor is different! As for those black plaques, there are five in total, which are some small permissions given to them in recognition, such as being able to meet officials below the third rank in the hall without kneeling, and being given priority in admission to official positions.
"Don't thank me yet!" the male duck voice manager shouted again, pinching his throat. After Lin Yan and others took the things, they quickly thanked them and were then taken out of the palace by the same route.
Coming in a hurry, leaving in a hurry, Lin Yan and the others left the palace again without even seeing Emperor Tang's face. Fortunately, they were not completely without gain.
Li Zongsheng complained:
"I haven't even met in person. Wasn't my previous training in vain? Oh, it was a waste of time!" Lin Yan hurriedly said after hearing this:
"Silence!" Li Zongsheng quickly reached out and covered his mouth without realizing it. At the same time, he looked left and right, and his back was soaked with sweat before he knew it.
so-called
"There is nothing in the world but the king's land." Especially this was near the palace city. Who knew how many pairs of eyes and ears were staring at them.
If you accidentally say the wrong thing, it could be a disaster! Lin Yan whispered:
"Get out of here quickly!" Then everyone left in a hurry. After all, the feeling here was too disturbing!
Just as Lin Yan and the others were leaving, they did not notice that on the distant city wall, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow brocade robe was looking at them with interest. It was the Tang Dynasty whom they had not met. Emperor!
