The air temperature is lower in winter, and the living water hot springs in Xiantai Pool constantly have white hot air rising from the water, making Xiantai Pool look like a fairyland.
Ye Yan was immersed in the scene, and for some reason, the first thing that came to his mind was the scene from his previous life when he was a child, the "Journey to the West" TV series he watched in the orphanage.
Zhu Bajie, who was still Marshal Tianpeng at that time, went to the Moon Palace to tease Fairy Chang'e.
The two have no connection at all. When he originally described Xiantai Pool, he had no association with "Journey to the West".
In short, this incident was very unexpected.
Maybe this scene is too classic. Xiantai Pond really does look like a heavenly palace, Ye Yan thought in his heart.
The permeating heat did not hinder the progress of Ye Yan and the great eunuch. Under the leadership of the great eunuch, Ye Yan quickly walked into the back of Xiantai Pond.
Across a hall with a long corridor, Ye Yan saw Ye Yucheng sitting above him who was carefully reviewing the memorial.
The great eunuch stopped in front of the main hall and signaled Ye Yan to come alone with his eyes. He did not dare to make a sound for fear of disturbing the emperor.
Ye Yan nodded to express his understanding and stepped onto the corridor alone.
In the Daqian Dynasty, this corridor was also called Xiantai. The reason why Xiantai Pool was known to the people was actually because of Xiantai.
Xiantai has special significance for those who want to obtain fame and ambition, but who are unable to fulfill their ambitions.
Because Xiantai was the place where Ye Yucheng often summoned officials to discuss important matters in the DPRK, all officials who came to discuss matters would walk through this corridor.
And the officials who could be summoned by Ye Yucheng were all ministers of the court and celebrities who were favored by Ye Yucheng.
Because of this, the officials of the Daqian Dynasty all wanted to visit Xiantai. Through word of mouth, the name of Xiantai Pool spread to the people through the mouths of scholars.
In the novel he wrote when he traveled back in time, Ye Yan did not have the idea of "waking up to seize the power of the world and lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman". He only wanted to return to his original world.
So to him, Xiantai is just an ordinary corridor without any bUff bonus.
What he cares more about is Ye Yucheng.
He has long wanted to see what a real emperor in his writing would look like after the world has perfected itself.
It's just that there hasn't been a good opportunity in the past few days, and he has things to plan for the female villain, so this idea has been postponed until now.
Ye Yan's eyes first focused on Ye Yucheng's facial features.
How to put it, everyone said that sons generally look like their mothers, but Ye Yan felt that Ye Chen and Ye Yucheng looked similar, and he was indeed somewhat similar to Concubine Xian.
The first impression given by Ye Yucheng is that he is a middle-aged elegant scholar with a handsome appearance.
If we put it in the modern world, those nymphomaniacs who like older men would definitely chase them and call them uncle all day long.
But Ye Yan knew that this was just Ye Yucheng's appearance. He was actually a ruthless person.
The people who died in his hands included extremely guilty criminals and corrupt officials, as well as loyal and good officials, as well as poor people who were innocently implicated.
There was only one reason for him to kill, and that was whether this person had affected the stability and development of the Daqian Dynasty.
Of course, in the face of national events, there are no good or bad people.
As long as it affects the stability and development of the country, no matter whether they are good or bad, it is natural for them to die.
However, when the power to judge this matter falls entirely on one person, it is an absolute disaster.
No matter how wise and intelligent a person is, his knowledge is always limited and he will always make mistakes.
Especially when the dynasty is in chaos, such errors in judgment will only become more frequent.
"Can the river of blood caused by you change because of my arrival?" Ye Yan looked at Ye Yucheng and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
But I don't know if it's because Ye Yucheng is sensitive or if it's just a coincidence.
Just as Ye Yan finished speaking, Ye Yucheng suddenly put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at Ye Yan.
The moment he raised his head, a terrifying light flashed in his eyes.
Even the author Ye Yan was startled by this fleeting look.
Just this look, what a real emperor looks like, nothing else needs to be said.
Such momentum could not be achieved by Ye Yan even if he worked hard all his life.
"The Seventh Emperor is here." Ye Yucheng said calmly, his tone was like an elder chatting with a junior, as if the person whose eyes flashed just now was not him.
Ye Yan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't disturbed your father's important matters, have you? If your father has important matters to deal with, your Majesty can wait by the side. Your Majesty has nothing to do."
Ye Yan did not kneel down, not because he maintained his identity as an author, nor because of his free spirit as a modern man.
He has traveled through the ancient world. As an author who has written historical novels, he can easily accept the etiquette of ancient monarchs and ministers.
From the ancient history he knew, it was a bad habit to kneel before the emperor, and most dynasties did not have such a saying.
Therefore, in his novels, there is no such rule in the Daqian Dynasty.
Hearing this, Ye Yucheng waved his hands and said with a smile: "The state affairs can't be dealt with completely. I'll ask the Seventh Prince to come over, so there won't be any interruption.
I heard that you have recently begun to study and write seriously. Your mother and concubine were very happy when they found out about it and told me the news happily.
Since you have nothing to do, read more books from now on, even if it is just to make your mother and concubine happy. "
"Your Majesty, I will obey your father's teachings." Ye Yan bowed again.
Seeing this, Ye Yucheng raised his finger and pointed to the mahogany chair next to him and said, "Sit down and talk. You and I, father and son, meet alone and don't need so many formalities."
After watching Ye Yan sit down, he continued: "We haven't seen you for a long time. The Seventh Emperor has really grown up a lot, and he can now share my worries. This is a good thing."
He directly confirmed Ye Yan's change with one sentence, and then he looked at Ye Yan seemingly unintentionally.
"I heard that you and the Fourth Emperor intend to give porridge in the Imperial City to relieve the victims of famine due to the heavy snow, and you also proposed a way to involve the major families in the Imperial City.
Also, I was interested in trying the hot pot you made in the imperial dining room. It was really good. "
Hearing this, Ye Yan was startled. As expected, nothing he did escaped Ye Yucheng's control. He also understood that this was the real reason why Ye Yucheng wanted to meet him.
Ye Yan's mind was running rapidly, and then an idea gradually formed.
It seems that it is time to push the female villain in front of Ye Yucheng.
