For Lin Yan and the others, this meeting with the Holy Spirit was a near miss, and overall it was a good thing!
Although they didn't have the chance to see the Holy Face, they had received the reward at least, so except for Li Zongsheng who was looking forward to it, the others didn't have much idea and were even a little happy.
After all, if you really meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, under the pressure of the king of a country, if you accidentally say something wrong or do something wrong, you may have to walk away with nothing to eat.
The current situation is quite good. After getting the money, I don’t have to see anyone anymore, so naturally I won’t have any troubles like making mistakes!
If those scholars and officials knew what they were thinking at this moment, they would definitely think that they were ignorant and missed an excellent opportunity.
After all, how many people can meet Emperor Tang at close range? Maybe once you are favored by the emperor, you can become famous and soar to the sky!
As for Lin Yan and others,
The behavior of "hiding and walking" will definitely be considered as their lack of intelligence and their brains are somewhat underdeveloped.
Because the emperor summoned him, it was too late for others to catch up, and some of them were actually happy because the summons was cancelled.
In the eyes of others, it is as incredible as a monkey giving up the gold and silver within easy reach and choosing rotten bananas!
As a person involved, Lin Yan probably wouldn't care about it even if he knew about it. Anyway, he and Mingya were very happy now that they had gold and silver.
someone said:
"Money is not everything!" But don't forget there is another sentence behind it,
"You can't do anything without money." For Lin Yan, what is it?
"The emperor's grace" and other fictitious things are not as real as real money and silver. After all, the former cannot be eaten, right?
So Lin Yan and Ming Ya bought chicken, duck and fish with their money and went home to have dinner with Old Man Yang.
Well, gold is too valuable to use that much. ... Regarding Emperor Tang's sudden summons, all forces have their own ideas.
After all, every move of the emperor affects everyone's hearts. Even if he farts, the ministers have to think about the profound meaning contained in it, let alone such an abnormal thing.
Among them, those who paid the most attention to Emperor Tang were naturally the princes. For example, the second prince was very interested in this matter.
Although he had never dealt with Lin Yan, his right-hand man Jin Yitan spoke highly of this boy, so even the second prince paid some attention to him.
As for the summons this time, the second prince was not very sensitive. It's not because he is a roundworm in the emperor's belly, but because there is a man named
"Jin Yitan" is a smart man. Although
"The Sacred Heart is unpredictable", but it is not difficult to see some clues from it. Combined with other clues, it is easy to draw conclusions, which are often not far from the truth.
On the other side, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was thinking a lot while squinting his eyes as he listened to Eunuch Yao's report.
In the previous case of Wei Meng, Lin Yan was the assassin who stood on the opposite side of him. Specifically looking for trouble for him.
Although a useless Li Qiming and a useless Prince Ye are nothing, they are still his people.
But the result was that the person was gone, and the debt would naturally fall on Lin Yan. Oh, he sent someone to kill Prince Ye!
But it doesn't matter, who asked Lin Yan to go against him? He had no choice, so this life was naturally Lin Yan's fault.
"When people sit at home, pots come from heaven"! Maybe Lin Yan didn't know why he suddenly took on so many pots. He wasn't a pancake maker, so it was useless!
"Prepare the car and enter the palace!" the prince said. Yao Chongxi paused, considered his words, and said:
"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to enter the palace at this time, but..." Before he could finish, the prince continued in a deep voice:
"I said, come into the palace!" The master deliberately emphasized his tone. Eunuch Yao secretly glanced at the prince's already darkened face and consciously shut up.
As a servant, all he does is serve others. so-called
"Accompanying a prince is like accompanying a tiger" is not just a saying. If nothing unexpected happens, the prince will be the future emperor, so it is like accompanying a little tiger. It is very important to observe the words and expressions!
Years of experience told him that masters naturally have their own ideas when things happen. As for the opinion, if the master accepts it, he will continue to raise it. If he doesn't accept it, forget it. There is no need to make trouble with him, just fulfill his obligations.
So Eunuch Yao bowed his head and saluted, then silently stepped back and prepared to go... But at this time, the prince unconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he didn't like Lin Yan, such a little person obviously couldn't attract much attention from him, even if The other party has become a disciple of the inner courtyard of the academy.
But to put it bluntly, no matter how hard the other party tries, he is just a commoner. At best, he is just a civilian with some status, but he is still a civilian.
But he was different. He was born into the royal family, and in the future he would inherit the throne and become the ruler of tens of millions of people. Naturally, his vision was not here.
What he cares about is not the Emperor Tang's inclination towards Taoism and Confucianism, nor who wins the conflict between the Xuantian Sect and the Academy. He only cares about himself and his own interests.
Tang Tianzi's recent series of operations made him feel like he had caught something, but at the same time it seemed like he had caught nothing.
As the world often says:
"A woman's heart is like a needle on the seabed!" The emperor's heart was even more elusive than the needle on the seabed, which made the prince both excited and distressed.
What makes me excited is that I have gradually become like this, which is a precursor to growing into a true emperor; what makes me distressed is that no matter how I grow, I still feel huge pressure in front of Emperor Tang. Maybe I am not strong enough!
So facing the situation at this time, he decided to go to the palace. Although this move seemed risky to outsiders, he had his own plan.
At this time, the more you wait and see, the more scheming he becomes, and he is a good son who is dedicated to sharing the burden for his father, at least that's what his character looks like.
Rushing over at this time is a reverse operation, after all
“Smart people” are still waiting and watching;
The "honest man" has already taken action. Eunuch Yao's work efficiency is also very fast. After all, he is serving his master, the future Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
If everything goes well, I might be able to follow the prince
"The fish crosses the dragon's gate". By then, status and status will naturally increase. Along the way, I saw that the prince was driving the car, so naturally no one dared to stop him.
The prince and his party also rushed all the way to the imperial study. The reason why the purpose is so clear is that he has inquired about the whereabouts of Emperor Tang in advance. After all, you can't fight an unprepared battle, right?
When he was far away from the imperial study, the prince ordered his people to stop the car and walked towards the imperial study. Everything he did was done in a proper manner, so that even the most demanding person would not be able to find any fault.
After passing the call from the eunuch outside the study, a reply came shortly after, asking the prince to enter the imperial study to reply.
At this moment, Emperor Tang, who was dressed in bright yellow clothes, was writing, accompanied by a beautiful woman in palace attire with a graceful figure.
However, Emperor Tang's attentive look made the prince dare not disturb him, so he could only wait quietly aside. He was very well-behaved, but his eyes lingered imperceptibly on the beautiful woman in palace clothes for a moment and then moved away, not daring to stay any longer.
This beautiful woman in palace attire is the most favored concubine among the beauties in the harem of Emperor Tang. Her name is Liu Yong'er, and her title is
"Li Fei". Ever since she entered the palace, she has been favored by the emperor. so-called
"There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and three thousand people love them all." This made the other concubines extremely jealous.
In the palace, jealousy is common. After all, there are many wives, and there are advantages and disadvantages. Most of the time, the emperor does the same.
"Pain and happiness"! This
"Li Fei" can stand out among the concubines, so she naturally has her own uniqueness. After all, the emperor is not an ordinary person. He has countless beauties, and ordinary women cannot capture his heart.
But
"Concubine Li" is different from the other concubines. She has a pure face, enchanting figure, and charming eyes. As she looks around, the two completely different temperaments are constantly colliding and merging. All men must fall, and even the emperor is not immune.
Of course, what he didn't know was,
The impact of "Li Fei" was so large that even the prince couldn't help but take a peek! After writing vigorously for a while, Emperor Tang stopped writing, took a long breath, and looked at his handwriting, as if he was quite satisfied.
He said to the prince:
"Jianyuan, come and see, what do you think of what I wrote?"
"Jianyuan" is the name of the prince, but after he became the prince, very few people could call him by this name. They were either unworthy or did not dare, and most likely it was the latter.
The prince stepped forward cautiously, looked carefully, and then his face became a little strange, because there was only one word on this huge piece of rice paper, and that was
"Don"! When he saw Emperor Tang concentrating and sweating, he thought he was writing some masterpiece.
Oh, I wrote one word after working on it for a long time. What should I say? After thinking about it, the prince decided to tell the truth, after all, beating around the bush didn't fit his personality.
But be careful, you still have to be tactful when speaking. Although everyone likes to hear the truth, they don’t want to hear all the truth.
To be precise, they want to hear the truth that is beneficial to them and praises them. No amount of words is too much. As for those
Forget about "the truth", even those who claim to like the truth don't like to hear it. The prince considered his words and said:
"Father, I think this word is majestic and domineering. It has the pride of the Tang Dynasty people. It is truly a masterpiece." Then he changed the topic and continued:
"It's just that the number of words is a bit short, which leaves me unsatisfied!" Emperor Tang laughed and scolded after hearing this:
"When did you kid learn to do such nonsense with me? Tell the truth!" The prince quickly held his hands and said:
"Father, if you forgive me, I will speak frankly. I think the words are a bit short!" The Emperor of Tang laughed loudly and said:
"That's right! Then tell me, why are there so few characters?" The prince looked puzzled and said to himself:
"Why? Because there is only one word? It can't be that simple, right? But what could be the reason? Is this a test or a embarrassment?" After thinking about it, the prince honestly spread his hands and said:
"I'm reporting this to my father, but I don't know." The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was not angry, but wrote on
There are two words inscribed next to the word "Tang": one
"Tao", a
"Confucianism", but these two characters are obviously much smaller. To be honest, it is the difference between ants and elephants.
He continued:
"What about now?" The prince thought for a while and said:
"The number of words is a bit more, but that's not the point. I just feel that the word 'Tang' seems to be a bit too big!" Emperor Tang laughed and said:
"As expected of his son, he's a teachable boy!" The prince lowered his head slightly, as if he understood something, but also as if he didn't understand anything at all.
...A confused conversation between father and son ended. After the prince left, he hurriedly returned to the East Palace and then disappeared.
Without anyone noticing, he had already disguised himself and arrived at a secret courtyard of his, pushed open the door and went straight to the backyard.
When I opened the master bedroom, what I saw was a beautiful face. There was a hint of charm in the innocence. If I looked carefully, I saw that it was the same as the one just now.
"Li Fei" is 70-80% similar. Seeing the beauty, the prince couldn't wait to hold her in his arms, breathing heavily:
"Beauty, you miss me so much!"
