"Dare to ask, what is the important matter of His Majesty summoning him late at night?"

Xiao Ruxun directly made it clear. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Oh? Mr. Xiao has already guessed it? The white-faced and beardless old eunuch was naturally Zhang Cheng, and he took the emperor's secret order to bring Xiao Ruxun to him.

Before the official reward ceremony, the emperor wants to see if this person is worth entrusting a big thing, whether he has the courage to wrestle with Wenchen, as for whether he is loyal, Zhu Yijun doesn't care very much, he knows very well that a person's loyalty will change with time, but from loyalty to rebellion is a chasm, and those who can't cross it can't cross it anyway.

"And can mobilize the Jinyi guard, and can send the inner servants, except for His Majesty the Emperor, who else?" Xiao Ruxun smiled indifferently, and then asked: "It's just a small general general, how can he be personally received by His Majesty?" Before coming, the last general heard that His Majesty didn't even want to see the ministers, so how could I, a little commander-in-chief, be an exception? ”

Zhang Cheng just smiled and said: "The little general soldier can't play a big role, as long as it meets the right time, Xiao Zongbing, Your Majesty heard that you proposed to overthrow the giant city with gunpowder and put down the rebellion in one fell swoop, so I want to see you." ”

Xiao Ruxun suddenly understood.

"I'm tired of leading the way."

Xiao Ruxun said it very politely.

Eunuchs are not exactly as treacherous and cunning as people's traditional impressions, especially the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, they are just the emperor's domestic slaves, and they are chess pieces in the hands of the emperor who can play with the civil officials, but what they do is often mixed up by the civil officials, and a basin of dirty water is splashed on the emperor, making the emperor the biggest loser.

At least at this moment, Xiao Ruxun has no ill feelings towards the eunuchs.

Those scholars and doctors are no better than eunuchs, and the money they should make is not less at all, the world is as black as a crow, and everyone doesn't say anything about anyone, if they have to splash dirty water on a group of people, they can only look another group of people who are particularly shameless.

Zhang Cheng took Xiao Ruxun into a carriage, and then stopped and stopped, turning a thousand times, and when he finally stopped, Xiao Ruxun got off the car and saw a rockery and pool, so he knew that this should already be the inner palace, how to get in, what way to go, that is not something he can know, Xiao Ruxun categorically did not know.

The palace at night was quiet, there were not many lights, and there were not even soldiers patrolling back and forth, Zhang Cheng and two brocade guards quickly took Xiao Ruxun to the door of a palace, and then passed it on, and then the eunuch opened the palace door a little crack, beckoning Xiao Ruxun to walk in, the whole process was as careful as a spy joint, thinking of the Wanli Emperor who had not seen the courtiers for twenty-eight years, Xiao Ruxun felt that this was quite absurd.

Summer is coming, Beijing is also a little sultry, and there is not much cool breeze at night, but this palace is surprisingly cool, Xiao Ruxun fixed his eyes, the whole two rows of eight big tripods are filled with crystal clear ice, the slightest bit of cold air, no wonder this palace is so cool, it is not as cool as an air-conditioned room.

Directly opposite Xiao Ruxun was a table covered with bright yellow brocade, and there was a seat, but I didn't see the emperor, it was obviously the emperor's throne, and there was a bead curtain on the right, Xiao Ruxun didn't dare to squint, just stood with his head down.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Ruxun brought it."

Zhang Cheng's voice came.

"Well, let him come."

A calm and neutral male voice came, the bead curtain on the right was lifted, and Zhang Cheng called to Xiao Ruxun: "Chief soldier Xiao, Your Majesty summons you." ”

"Obey."

All the way from Ningxia, Ye Mengxiong didn't know what to think about, and told Xiao Ruxun some etiquette and points on how to meet the emperor, so Xiao Ruxun was no stranger.

With his head down, he slowly crossed the bead curtain, and stepped on a layer of cushions, which was quite comfortable, and the cool air here was more than the cool air outside, and it was even more comfortable.

Standing still, Xiao Ruxun knelt down and saluted: "Xiao Ruxun, the chief military officer of Ningxia, greets Your Majesty, long live my emperor." ”

"Well, let's be flat, Zhang Cheng, sit down."

Emperor Wanli's voice sounded, since he said so, then Xiao Ruxun could look up at the emperor, and after saying "Thank you for your grace", Xiao Ruxun got up and saw the emperor who had not summoned the ministers for several years, and let the ministers look at him, Zhang Cheng brought a chair behind him, and Xiao Ruxun relaxed and sat down.

Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun was in front of Xiao Ruxun at this time, wearing a black dragon-patterned brocade robe, holding a book in his hand, with a Chinese character face, not to mention the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he was also quite handsome and attractive, full of black hair, shiny and shiny, showing the emperor's abundant vitality, and the genes inherited from the royal search for beauties were still reliable, and he had already transitioned from Zhu Yuanzhang's big cake face with cracked teeth to a dignified national character face.

If you want to say excited, it is a little bit, after all, it is really a strange thing to travel back to ancient times to see a living emperor, but Xiao Ruxun, who is already familiar with the life of the Ming Dynasty, is more uneasy and worried at this moment, after all, what is in front of him is a living emperor, although he will not decide life and death in a word, but it is not too far away, although it is speculated that this emperor may have summoned him for the sake of Japan, but he can't keep it for anything else.

Zhu Yijun didn't think too much about it, and when he saw Xiao Ruxun's upright face and modest etiquette, he suddenly had a good impression, so the advantage of good-looking people over long-looking ugly people is too great, and if he doesn't say anything, he naturally has a good feeling.

"Yes, yes, in addition to gold and jade, it is rare to have jade among them, no wonder Yang Zhao does not choose a scholar, but he can choose you to be his son-in-law, and his vision is very accurate."

Zhu Yijun put down the scroll in his hand, and seemed to evaluate Xiao Ruxun's appearance like a homely person.

Xiao Ruxun immediately replied: "Your Majesty praises it, the minister is very honored, and he does not hide it from His Majesty, and the minister is more satisfied with his appearance than his own ability." ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

Zhang Cheng is also a person who has seen the world, but he never thought that Xiao Ruxun would actually say in front of the emperor that he admitted that he was very handsome, couldn't he hear that the emperor was polite, so he admitted it? But...... This is not a big deal, at best, he is just a narcissistic Xu Gong, it is harmless, then again, which of these people in the court is not good-looking? Everyone is still a little confident in their appearance.

"Hahaha, I've seen a lot of people, saying in front of me that I look good, Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun, let others say this is to praise you, don't you think it's undecent?"

Zhu Yijun rarely has a little heart to talk about jokes.

"Your Majesty does not dare to agree with what he said, a person's face is given by his parents, and parents can say that their children are not good-looking and think they are modest, but if a child insists on saying that he is not good-looking in front of outsiders, isn't it disrespectful to his parents? Only those who say such things think that they are undignified. ”

Xiao Ruxun brought out his ability to speak, and sure enough, Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows and bent the corners of his mouth, and then laughed again, and secretly wrote down this in his heart, I didn't expect that he had never mentioned it when dealing with those Wenchen, and now if someone said that his appearance was not good in front of him to pretend to be forced, he had to bury him to death and give himself a vicious outlet!
