Chapter 406 Knock on the Holy Gate?
Chapter 4 Knock on the holy door?
The afternoon sun hangs lazily in the sky above the head, the sun is warm and soft, and it shines warmly on the body.

Passing through the palace gate, passing through the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and entering the Hall of Zhonghe, Eunuch Li asked Lin Xiaoyao to wait outside temporarily, and he entered the Hall of Zhonghe first to report to the emperor.

After a while, Eunuch Li came out from the Hall of Zhonghe. He bowed to Lin Xiaoyao and said in a low voice: "Master Lin, the emperor let you in, and the miscellaneous family will wait outside. If you have something to do, the miscellaneous family can do it."

"Eunuch Li has worked hard, thank you Eunuch Li." While talking, Lin Xiaoyao took out a bank note and stuffed it into Eunuch Li's hand.

"You can't do it. This is what a slave should do..." Although he said this, after a few evasions, he also accepted it. At the same time, the smile on his face became brighter, and he looked around. Look, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he took a step closer to Lin Xiaoyao, and secretly said to Lin Xiaoyao: "Master Lin, you have to pay attention to your words later, I think the emperor may not be in a particularly good mood."

Lin Xiaoyao nodded knowingly, clasped his fists at Eunuch Li, pushed open the palace door, and walked straight in.

The Hall of Central Harmony is the place where the emperor handles official duties and rests temporarily. After entering the main hall through the front door, he can see the emperor sitting on the dragon chair watching the memorials presented by various places.

Lin Xiaoyao saw that the emperor was handling government affairs seriously, so he didn't say a word. He just stood in the main hall, waiting for the emperor to speak.Lin Xiaoyao did not speak, and the emperor seemed not to have seen him, and was still handling government affairs without raising his head.

Time passed little by little in this tacit silence. Lin Xiaoyao's legs were almost numb when he stood. When he was thinking about whether sitting on the floor would make his stomach cold, the emperor finally finished processing the memorial and raised his head to look at Lin Xiaoyao. Happy.

"Here you come?" The emperor didn't show any airs at all, he was as peaceful as chatting with an old friend.

"Here we come!" Lin Xiaoyao also nodded, the emperor would not let him kneel down, and he wished for this in his heart, anyway, as long as you don't take the initiative to ask me to kneel down, you can just wait.

"There's no one else here, feel free to sit down."

I don't know if it's because of the overwork of handling government affairs, the emperor's face is a little unhealthy pale, although his voice is still full of majesty, but Lin Xiaoyao can hear a trace of exhaustion from it, the emperor picked up the yellow paper on the table Wiping the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, he said kindly to Lin Xiaoyao.

"No, no, I'm not tired!" Lin Xiaoyao said with a smile, but his actions were completely different from what he said. On the way of speaking, he found a chair and sat down, while tapping on his numb legs , I didn't feel that my words and deeds were different.

The emperor was no stranger to Lin Xiaoyao's strange behavior, he suddenly coughed heavily, quickly picked up the porcelain bowl on the table, and drank the black medicinal juice in the bowl, the coughing got better.

"Father-in-law, are you sick?"

Lin Xiaoyao asked with some concern.

"Father-in-law?" The emperor was taken aback for a moment, but soon burst into a hearty, hearty laugh. He pointed at Lin Xiaoyao and said with a smile, "You boy, you are really out of words, so you don't have to. What are you afraid to say? You know, even my two sons dare not call me dad like you!"

Lin Xiaoyao shrugged slightly, raised his hands as if helpless, and said: "I am speaking completely from the heart. You are Xi Meng's father, so naturally you are my father-in-law. And whether there are outsiders, you don't want to Am I going to be so alienated from you when you call the emperor and his ministers again?"

"That's all, you can call me whatever you want. Anyway, I can't speak to you, kid!" The emperor smiled and shook his head. Although he said so, in fact, how good he was was everyone's fault. I can tell.

"Your Majesty, your face looks a little bad. Are you really sick? Have you seen the imperial doctor?" Lin Xiaoyao noticed that the Emperor seemed much older after not seeing him for a few days, and there were already a lot of gray in his hair. Hair.

"Do you know that no one dares to talk about my illness?" The emperor did not answer Lin Xiaoyao, but asked rhetorically.

Lin Xiaoyao shook his head, his face was full of sincerity, and he only heard his concern: "I don't care what others say or not, I just know that if you are sick, it is wrong not to see a doctor, because your illness is not only related to you Your own health is also related to the millions of people in Daxia, and it is even more related to our relatives, we all care about you."

"My dear?"

The emperor murmured softly, seeing that Lin Xiaoyao didn't seem to be lying, and Lin Xiaoyao had never lied to him, he couldn't help feeling warm, and seeing Lin Xiaoyao felt more pleasing to the eye.

"I'm not sick, you just need to remember one thing, that is, I'm in good health, that's all! Don't ask too much about other things!"

Although the emperor was relieved, he didn't show it at all on his face, but his voice was majestic and cold, which made Lin Xiaoyao not sure what the emperor was thinking.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

Lin Xiaoyao shook his head slightly, and said, "My son-in-law doesn't know."

"I heard that you replaced Mr. Yu a few days ago to give lectures to people from the Holy Gate?"

No useful information could be heard from the emperor's forehead and tone, and Lin Xiaoyao didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so he had no choice but to answer truthfully: "Yes. , In fact, I was also rushing to put ducks on the shelves, I didn’t prepare anything, so I just talked nonsense!”

"Nonsense? I can't see, can I? Nonsense, astronomy and geography are so true, and the article "The Story of Young Daxia" shocked both the government and the public. Even I was greatly shocked!"

The emperor snorted softly. Although his tone was still so calm and calm, Lin Xiaoyao noticed a hint of evil, as if a dark wind was blowing on his back, making him feel cold all over.

"I just like to do some messy things, and serious books are not good to read. I have read a lot of miscellaneous books, so I fooled them one after another. In fact, I am all nonsense, and I don't know how to read them. Know if it’s true or false!”

Lin Xiaoyao noticed that the emperor's tone was not kind, so he quickly changed his tone.

Seeing Lin Xiaoyao being so nervous, the emperor's mouth curved slightly, but he was drinking hot tea, and Lin Xiaoyao didn't see his fleeting smile.

"You boy, I don't know what skills you have. You can become famous all over the world by just writing a poem, and there is anything you can't do. You don't have to give me a hard look. I don't intend to make things difficult for you..."
