Alien Lord

Walk through the main gate, walk along the bridge deck paved with white jade slabs, and you will arrive at the square in front of the outer city.

This is a square the size of ten football fields. It is usually used for military exercises in ordinary times. For example, military exercises during celebrations are here.

Similarly, in the vicinity of this huge square, there seemed to be no people on the surface, but in fact there were guards guarding them all around, the number of which would not be less than 3,000.

Passing through the square guarded by the imperial army, you entered the inner city of the imperial palace.

The first thing that catches Lin Ze’s eyes is the Wanbu Corridor (in fact, there are only 9,999 steps, and one step is ten thousand steps.), the east of the corridor (left) is the Taimiao, and the west of the corridor (right) is the Sheji Altar. There are many courtyards of the left and the right, and the numerous buildings have a clear master and follower, echoing front and back, symmetrical left and right, and orderly.

Such a well-ordered palace hall is something that Lin Ze is used to seeing big scenes on Earth before, but compared to this palace, it is still much worse.

Suddenly seeing such a splendid group of palaces, Lin Ze was really shocked. He had been to the Forbidden City when he was on earth, but it has become a tourist attraction, and it has lost half of the palace in front of him. Severe weather and majesty.

At this time, it was already the time of the court, and most of the ministers who came to prepare for the early court had gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the emperor handled government affairs and summoned the ministers, just waiting for the official start of the early court.

Lin Ze glanced around, and basically didn't recognize him, only a few officials in his memory who had good friends with the Houye Mansion hurried over to say hello to him.

Not long after, Lin Renquan also came here. Seeing Lin Renquan coming, Lin Ze had to go up to see him.

Lin Renquan is his grandfather anyway, if Lin Ze didn't come forward to say hello, it would be too shameful.

Because this was the place where they were preparing to go to court, Lin Ze and Lin Renquan just said hello and separated.

The actions of Lin Renquan and Lin Ze immediately let the ministers waiting here to know who this young general is, whispers started, and many people pointed at Lin Ze. It made Lin Ze very uncomfortable, and he felt like an animal being watched in a zoo.

What's more, some of them looked at Lin Ze with murderous eyes, which made Lin Ze frown directly. As soon as his induction came out, he immediately knew that these people were members of the Yellow Dragon Army, while others He is the Seventh Prince.

Seeing this, Lin Ze once again made a note to the Seventh Prince in his heart, and prepared to settle accounts with the Seventh Prince Yan Yucheng in the future.

As for Yan Yucheng being the Seventh Prince, Lin Ze didn't care at all. If Lin Ze wasn't very weak now, he wouldn't even care about Yuan Wu Emperor Yan Hao.

After a while, an eunuch hurried over and stood in the crowd looking around.

When Lin Ze saw it, he immediately recognized the man as Eunuch Qian who had passed the imperial decree to him in Heisha City. Just as he was surprised, Eunuch Qian had already seen Lin Ze, and immediately ran over with a happy face, "General Lin, It turns out that you are here, but it makes our family easy to find!"

Lin Ze looked at him strangely, feeling a little wary in his heart.

Because although Eunuch Qian himself fed him in Dingzhou, he would not let him come here to make friends with him at this time and under such an environment. You must know that there are differences between inside and outside. The father-in-law made friends with foreign ministers.

Therefore, if people really want to be misunderstood, then Lin Ze will not be able to clean up even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

"I don't know why my father-in-law is looking for Lin? Father-in-law, this is the palace!" Lin Ze asked in a low voice after taking a few steps.

The conversation between the two made Lin Ze, who had already attracted people's attention, even more attention at this time. Those ministers who were still a little reserved and didn't want to lose their dignity all turned their eyes to Lin Ze, among them Others pricked up their ears directly, wanting to use his powerful hearing.

"General Lin, don't worry, this servant knows where this is. General Lin, I really want to congratulate you this time, you are really in the heart of the emperor this time,

Your Majesty asked our family to come to General Xuan to wait in the Yuantai Hall, so that we don't have to go to court with these ministers. "

Eunuch Qian laughed flatteringly, looking at Lin Ze, it was as if he was looking at gold.

I also can't hang on to the Qian Gonghui, because before, he was just a eunuch who didn't get much attention in the palace, and he was able to go to Heisha City to pass the decree because the other big eunuchs in the palace didn't want to go to Heisha City, which is suffering from the bitter cold and chaos. The place, where to go, if one is not good, he will be stolen and killed by Sha, so this errand will fall on him.

He didn't want to go to Heisha City. Although Eunuch Qian was trembling in his heart, he returned with a lot of money in the end. The property that Lin Ze gave him that time was more than he had accumulated over the past ten years. It would be hundreds of times more. With so much money, Eunuch Qian bribed several eunuchs in the palace after returning to the capital, and now he has a bit of status in the palace. Therefore, Eunuch Qian is full of Lin Ze. gratitude.

This time the emperor wanted to invite Lin Ze alone, because he was the only one who recognized Lin Ze, so he was sent out by the emperor again. Eunuch Qian was even more eager, because he knew Lin Ze's generosity.

Also, this time, the emperor ordered him personally. This time, Eunuch Qian has shown his face in front of the emperor. As long as the emperor remembers himself, the day of his success is just around the corner.

There are tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, apart from those close servants of the emperor, how many people can the emperor remember?

Hearing this, not only Lin Ze, but also those ministers who were close to eavesdropping were also surprised.

Normally, generals from other states would return to Beijing to report on their duties. According to the usual practice, they would only meet in the early court, and the emperor's gentle words of comfort would be enough. Why did the emperor summon Lin Ze alone this time? Is there something wrong here?

The minds of countless ministers are full of question marks, and some people, like the Seventh Prince, look at Lin Ze with hatred in their eyes. If eyes can kill, Lin Ze has been torn apart by them now.

Others, like those on the prince's side, valued Lin Ze more, while on Lin Renquan's side, their eyes also changed, and some plans in their hearts disappeared!

(In the palace, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you are not allowed to use martial arts to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, otherwise, once you are discovered, the result will be decapitation.

As for how to tell whether you are using your true energy to eavesdrop on others, hehe, after a warrior uses his true energy, his body will experience fluctuations in his true energy, which can easily be discovered by others. Even if you hide it well, there are many innate A strong man in the early stage, in front of these people, no matter how well you hide, you are as conspicuous as an electric light in the dark night.

Of course, if you rely on your powerful sense of hearing, then nothing will happen. )

"Elder-in-law, what does this mean?" Lin Ze asked with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, Master Lin, the servant doesn't know, you should come with the servant!" Eunuch Qian said with a smile.

Confused, Lin Ze had no choice but to follow the happy Eunuch Qian to the inner court, leaving his eyes behind him.

In the crowd, countless ministers frowned, thinking hard about the emperor's intention for this move?

When he came to the gate of the inner palace, Lin Ze took off his saber and handed it to the guard guarding the palace gate, and then followed Eunuch Qian into the inner palace.

The inside of the imperial palace is another scene. Apart from being as majestic as the outside, it is more elegant, precious and elegant. Yuantai Hall is the place where the emperor usually rests. In front of the hall there is a small garden.

Although it is a small garden, its area is larger than Lin Ze's City Lord's Mansion in Heisha City.

It was early summer at this time, and the flowers were in full bloom, and a fragrance filled the air.

Entering Yuantai Hall, Eunuch Qian greeted Lin Ze graciously, not only brought him a brocade stool for him to sit down, but also made the little eunuch make tea. (Actually, it was all because Lin Ze secretly gave him a gold ticket of 100 gold coins. For these eunuchs in the palace, Lin Ze has never underestimated them, so even if Eunuch Qian is not a big man in the palace, Lin Ze is still willing to befriend him.)

"General, please sit down for a while. This morning court is not a one-and-a-half-hour thing. Every morning, the ministers of the court will have a quarrel. There are not a few hours in the middle. Therefore, you are here first. Take a look at the scenery here, and if there is anything, please tell me."

Lin Ze nodded to show that he understood.

Then, Lin Ze looked at the palace guards standing in front of the hall, and the little eunuchs standing in the room like wooden figures, and asked carefully: "Eunuch Qian, am I not in compliance with the rules? Palace, if I am too casual, it will not be good if the emperor finds out."

Eunuch Qian smiled and said: "General, please rest assured, this is what the emperor ordered, otherwise I would not dare to say such a thing if I have the guts! As long as you wait here with peace of mind, the emperor will come to summon the general after he goes to court."

Lin Ze, who was confused, slipped a golden ticket into Eunuch Qian's hand again, "Eunuch Qian, can you reveal why the emperor summoned me alone? I have no idea!"

Eunuch Qian first carefully glanced at the little eunuchs around him, and then checked the number of gold tickets in his hand. Seeing that it was one hundred, his face burst into a smile, and he quickly took the silver ticket Tucking his sleeves, he smiled and said, "Well, General, you'd better wait for a while, you'll find out in a while, maybe His Majesty is interested in your battle to wipe out the Sand Pirates, and wants to hear your detailed account!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ze knew that the Eunuch Qian in front of him didn't know anything at all, and felt depressed for a while.

Well, the one hundred gold coins were for nothing.

Lin Ze had no choice but to sit in the Yuantai Palace and wait patiently for the current Emperor Yuanwu to clarify his doubts.
