Chapter 277: The Summons (Part II)
The two hurriedly came to the Xuande Gate, got off the horse, and the internal guards guarding the door were still waiting to check the number plate, and a waiter inside had already been anxious to turn around, and came forward and scolded: "The emperor is in a hurry, and he has urged him several times, and you are still here to delay their time." ”
The internal guard hurriedly let him go, and Fu Bi took Su Jin to follow behind the inner attendant, and hurriedly walked through the wide passage between Daqing Gate and Chongwen Gate to the inside.
Fu Bi said: "Lord Inner Servant, didn't you say that it was in the Daqing Palace?" Where is this going? ”
The waiter said: "Rich man, the emperor is in the imperial study of Gyeongbok Palace." ”
Fu Bi exclaimed: "Why is it there, the official has not been allowed, should he retreat first?" ”
The waiter said: "The emperor said, after you bring people here, you will wait outside the palace, the rich man is not an outsider, you can drink a cup of tea from the old slave in the side room and wait slowly." ”
Fu Bi hurriedly said: "Yes, thank you, Lord Chamberlain." ”
Su Jin was confused when he heard this, and asked Fu Bi in a low voice, "What's the matter, is there any problem?" ”
Fu Bi said in a low voice: "Jingfu Hall is where the emperor's imperial study is located, only a wall away from the harem, and the important ministers cannot enter without permission, the emperor receives you in the imperial study, it seems that you have a lot of face, and there may be words that outsiders can't listen to to and say to you alone, you deal with it carefully." ”
Su Jinxin said: He and I don't know each other, what can he say to me in a confidential way, it's just to ask the grandfather about the truth of his dream, and this strategy for raising food; These two things have been decided for a long time, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
The three of them entered the Xuanyou Gate, the guards all knew the white fat waiter, and they all nodded and said hello, the waiter just snorted a few times, didn't even look back, walked all the way to the door, not long, a small door at the courtyard gate on the left, five or six guards walked around the door with swords, saw Su Jin and others, a guard came forward and said: "Hello Huang Gonggong, is it them?" ”
The chamberlain smiled: "Exactly." ”
The guard said, "Have you ever seen it?" ”
Fu Bi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, how dare you bring prohibited items in." ”
The guard said: "In this case, put the items on your body in the corner room, and go in quickly, the emperor is in a hurry." ”
Fu Bi hurriedly asked Su Jin to take out the things in his arms and hand them over to the guards for safekeeping, Su Jin had nothing else on his body, only a Yunjin handkerchief given by Yan Biyun, and then there was a big three-yuan jade pendant on his shirt and belt.
After cleaning up, the waiter Huang Gonggong beckoned, and Su Jin followed him into the small door, while Fu Bi could only stay in the side room to rest.
Su Jin stepped into the small door, and his eyes suddenly opened up, it turned out that inside this gate was a big square, and a magnificent palace stood there fifty steps away on his right hand, going up the high steps, and a huge plaque was hung at the door of the hall, and the three big characters of Gyeongbok Hall were shining in the sun.
Entering the hall, Su Jin unexpectedly saw several officials in scarlet official robes, one was handsome, one was short and fat, and the other was black and thin; The three of them looked at Su Jin in unison, and the short and fat Yan Shu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why did you come, the emperor is waiting for you in the study." ”
Su Jin said: "I came galloping on a horse without delay, can't I fly with wings?" ”
Yan Shu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't say it, go in quickly, remember the etiquette I taught you, be careful when dealing with it, and don't talk nonsense." ”
Su Jin said: "Got it, don't you go in?" ”
Yan Shu said: "It's you who the emperor wants to see, not us, didn't you see that Lu Xiang and Du Shumi are sitting over there?" ”
Su Jinxin said: They know me, who knows them.
Gonggong Huang beckoned to the aisle by the side curtain of the hall: "Student Su, please come with me." ”
Su Jin took a breath, calmed down, bowed his hand towards Yan Shu, and walked away; Moments later, the two disappeared behind the curtain.
The handsome Lu Yijian and the dark and thin Du Yan glanced at each other, pointed in the direction of Su Jin and said, "Lord Yan, is he the one the emperor wants to see?" ”
Yan Shu smiled: "It's him, Su Jin, a student of Tianfu Academy." ”
Lu Yijian frowned and said, "Is that Su Jin, the grandfather who dreamed of him?" ”
Du Yan interjected: "It's still Su Jin who wrote "Queqiao Immortal" and "Water Tune Song Head". ”
Yan Shu said: "Two adults, you can't see it, the hero is a teenager." ”
Lu Yijian snorted and said: "I don't understand the original appearance, the matter of the mob in Yangzhou is very critical, the emperor only saw me and waited for half an hour, why are you in a hurry to see this Su Jin?" Could it be that Su Jin, who can write words, has more ways to do this than us? ”
Du Yan said: "Yes, the official is also wondering, why did this Su Jin come to the capital, we don't know anything about it." ”
Yan Shu said: "It was this official who brought him to the capital on the emperor's dictation, the emperor ...... I'm afraid the emperor will ask him something about Taizu's dream. ”
Lu Yijian sighed: "What are you asking these for?" Yangzhou's affairs must have a countermeasure, I really don't know what the emperor thinks. ”
Yan Shu said: "Lu Xiang, the power of heaven is unpredictable, why do you say these words, the emperor asked me to wait outside for the second summons, maybe there is another reason, that is, I am not in a hurry to complain at this time." ”
Lu Yijian was choked and glared at Yan Shu, Du Yan hurriedly said: "Two adults, sit down and rest for a while, Gyeongbokgung Palace is not a place to fight, it's not too late to go back to the court room to slowly theorize, the emperor is in the study, I asked the guards to make tea, and the three of us are waiting here." ”
Yan Shu and Lu Yijian sat down separately at this time, each with their own thoughts, sitting quietly and waiting.
……
Su Jin followed Huang Gonggong through the corridor, Gyeongbok Hall is in the shape of a mouth, a house on the outside, but a garden in the middle, the early winter sun shines in the garden, the evening chrysanthemum is brilliant, the green trees are shining, but it is a piece of exquisite, the sunlight is sprinkled on the white stone aisle through the railing between the pillars, reflecting the original gray corridor a brilliance.
There are not many people coming and going in the corridor, occasionally there are two palace maids holding tea cups and fruit boxes walking lightly, their eyes do not squint, silently, like ghosts floating by, seeing Huang Gonggong is also half squatting and a blessing and leaving, Huang Gonggong does not pay attention to it, and walks forward quickly; It seems that this Huang Gonggong has a very high level in the palace, and so far, he has not seen anyone who does not salute him.
At the end of the cloister, there is an exquisite house with a golden curtain, and two chamberlains, two guards, and two palace maids stand on either side.
Gonggong Huang came outside the curtain and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the person you want to see is here." ”
There was calm behind the curtain, and after a while, a woman's voice said, "The emperor invites Su Xuexue to come in." ”
Gonggong Huang glanced at Su Jin, Su Jin nodded, straightened his clothes, touched his bun, and sighed, the two palace maids raised the door curtain, and Su Jinyi lowered his head and got in.
The mouth of the Rui beast copper incense burner spits out curling cigarettes, and two pots of plants are placed on two corner cabinets, one high and one low, one pot of begonias, and one pot of evergreen; The furnishings in the house are simple and elegant, not as luxurious and luxurious as imagined, but with a sense of bookish elegance.
Su Jin swept around and didn't see anyone, and was wondering, only to hear a gentle male voice on the side: "Are you Su Jin?" ”
Su Jin turned his head to look, it turned out that the bead curtain hung on the left head, and there was an inner room behind the bead curtain, the bead curtain was swaying, and a vague figure inside seemed to be floating in the water, and it was not clear to see.
"The emperor asked you, Su Xuexue." A female official lifted the beaded curtain, and her beautiful and childish face was serious.
Su Jin said: "Su Jin, the grass people, see the emperor. "After that, according to Yan Shu's previous explanation, he performed a great courtesy.
"Calm down, come in and talk back." The gentle male voice said.
Su Jin bowed his head and entered the inner room, bowing his head and standing, a little nervous in his heart, this is the first time he has seen the emperor in two lifetimes, this kind of thing has been put in the past, who would say that he can face to face with the ancient emperor, Su Jin is definitely a big slap in the face, but now, all this is really happening, and that dreamy sense of unreality fills Su Jin's heart again.
"Feel free, don't be restrained, I'm not a man-eating tiger." The man said with a smile.
Su Jin hurriedly said: "The grass people are afraid of losing their manners, so they don't dare to make a mistake. ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and said to the female official beside him: "Give it to Su Xuexue, make a cup of my Longjing tea for Su Xuexue to quench his thirst, and then ...... Stand down, all of you. ”
"Yes." The female officials sat down to make tea as they said, and then retreated lightly, leaving only Su Jin and Zhao Zhen in the imperial study; Su Jin's nervous heart was jumping, and he was about to jump out of his throat.
