Dry Dream

The civil and military officials who greeted me at the gate of the imperial city all stared at me.And it was General Cheng who held the reins of Treading Snow.

There was a sudden hit in my heart, you revealed the mystery with a hard heart,

Hastily jumped off the horse and quickly dodged behind Yun Qingtong.I don't want to deal with these court officials.

It was just a small accident, and it passed quickly.The prime minister personally greeted Yun Qingtong, and then led us into the gate of the imperial city.I followed Yun Qingtong with my head down, feeling countless pairs of eyes staring at me.There are curiosity, surprise, jealousy, envy, disdain, contempt in these eyes, many, many.

The avenue leading to the Golden Temple seems to be very short, and the court officials surrounded us seem to be walking very fast.The melodious sound of palace music was accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, and it took only a few breaths to enter the resplendent and resplendent hall.

Watching the ground in front of me change from flat bluestone to marble that can reflect people's shadows, my tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

I don't know why, but suddenly I am not afraid.

There are two rows of low tables on both sides of the main hall, on which are delicacies.A mouth-watering aroma of wine and vegetables echoed throughout the hall.I secretly glanced sideways at the food and drink on the low table beside me, and swallowed.It's been a long time since I've smelled such a fragrance, and I haven't seen such a tempting dish for a long time.It would be great if Big Brother Fang is not dead, he can also see the palace with us and drink the imperial banquet together.

Inadvertently, he saw a tall and familiar figure standing in front of the short table on the left closest to the emperor.The unicorn court boots inlaid with golden jade jade, the deep purple satin-covered cloud python robe, and the finger-width black satin belt inlaid with chalcedony...

The courtiers who surrounded us into the hall began to shout long live, and bowed in parallel.I was awakened by the cry from the mountain, and hurriedly withdrew my eyes and followed the courtiers to kneel down and salute.

The emperor said that he would not be polite, and all the courtiers thanked each other and got up and went back to their respective seats on both sides, leaving only a few of us who had returned from the expedition to hang in the middle.

Peeking in his direction, he also sat down.He seemed to be looking at me, but I didn't dare to look at his face.

The emperor started to speak, his voice was gentle and generous, and he praised us few in the world.I don't need to look at the emperor's face, just by hearing the voice, I know that he is that Uncle Han.His voice is kind.But I know that the kindness of the emperor is for others to see.It is not easy to get along with a king who can control hundreds of officials and sit in the world.

During the few days when I had a private meeting with Ziluo at the foot of Nagasaki Yamashita, Ziluo reminded me that the emperor would not allow his subjects to surpass him.And this time we fought against the rebels and made outstanding military exploits, the emperor will definitely award him a lot to show his praise and love for talents.But the emperor has already felt a rift with Ziluo, and he knows that I am close to Ziluo, so he will definitely not let me control the military power.

So to say……

"Your Majesty! I have something to say!"

The emperor on the dragon chair had just finished praising us and was about to get down to business and appoint officials one by one, when an uncoordinated voice suddenly appeared beside him and said loudly.The emperor stopped talking immediately, and the eunuch who had been waiting for a long time hurried forward to offer a bowl of fragrant tea.The emperor took a few sips to quench his thirst, then put down the tea bowl and said, "What do you want to say to Guo Aiqing?"

I turned around and saw that the person standing up was Guo Xinde.

"Your Majesty, Yan Jingqi is the third son of the criminal minister Yan Binhe, and because he had nowhere to make a living after confiscating his home, he sold himself as a servant in Prince Xiaoling's mansion. According to the rules, he is not qualified to enter the palace hall. He has done extraordinary feats but is still a servant, how can he be promoted to a noble?"

That's quite straightforward.

Turning back and continuing to look at the floor, as I expected, it is impossible not to reveal my identity.I just don't know if Guo Xinde's decision to act this early bird is the emperor's intention or Ziluo's arrangement.

After hearing Guo Xinde's words, all the courtiers began to whisper among each other. In fact, few courtiers sitting here knew about this matter, but no one dared to speak out.With Ziluo sitting there, without special assignment, who dares to say?

"Oh──I remember," the emperor said with a long voice as if he had suddenly realized: "It is indeed true. But the ten crimes committed by Yan Binhe do have some falsehoods, otherwise I wouldn't have Pardon him and let him go home. As for the servant... King Xiaoling, is there really such a thing?"

The emperor is pretending to be confused?

I rolled my eyes to peek at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, only to see the emperor winking mischievously at me.It dawned on me that Ziluo and the emperor had colluded to get rid of my status as a servant.

Ziluo stood up from behind, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing."

"Oh? Did you bring proof?" The emperor asked solemnly.

"Here is the proof." Ziluo took out the neatly folded deed of prostitution from her arms and presented it.The eunuch at the side came over and took it in his hand, bowed and turned around to present it to the emperor.The emperor stretched out his hand to take the deed of sale, unfolded it and read it carefully.

All the civil and military officials stopped talking at this time, each of them was curious, waiting to see a good show, or looking thoughtful, all eagerly watching how the emperor would deal with me next.Yun Qingtong, who was standing beside me, secretly tugged at my sleeves, and then raised his hand to indicate that there was no problem.I glanced at him and hooked the corners of my mouth in thanks.

In fact, getting along with Yun Qingtong is quite comfortable. We are about the same age, and he is very careful and caring in some aspects, much better than me, a person who knows nothing and doesn't know how to worry.

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair raised his eyebrows and nodded as he looked at my contract of prostitution, with a strange expression on his face, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare?

"General Yan, do you see that this contract of sale was written by you yourself?" The emperor closed the contract of sale and handed it to the eunuch beside him.The eunuch took it and got off the dragon platform, walked up to me and opened the deed of sale for me to see.

I raised my eyes and glanced at the emperor. Since he called me "General Yan", it can be seen that he has already decided what kind of official he wants to make me.Then I casually glanced at the deed of sale. Of course it was written by me myself, so I saluted and replied: "Return to the emperor, this deed of sale was indeed written by my humble minister." Since your majesty calls me a general, I can't If you lose face, you will naturally call yourself a "weichen".

"It's really like that..." The emperor raised the corner of his mouth and showed a shrewd smile, and the eunuch hurriedly took back the deed of sale.

The emperor looked at me, looked at the deed of sale, and looked around at the courtiers, and said: "Since the deed of sale was indeed written by General Yan himself, then he is indeed a servant. Naturally, I have not appointed a servant." The principle of a nobleman."

After hearing the emperor's words, all the courtiers had different expressions.A small group of people were obviously relieved, but most of the generals in the ranks of military officers beside them showed dissatisfaction.Anyone who has been to the battlefield and fought a battle knows the danger of the battlefield, and the wound on my face proves it, so they will naturally complain for me.

"However, this time, General Ranyan has made great achievements. If there is no reward, I am afraid that the heroes of the world will be dissatisfied with me and have doubts about the court. Then, wouldn't my country be as strong as it is?"

The emperor's words caused the courtiers to change their faces again, and the ever-changing expressions were very interesting.I couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly lowered my head to cover up.This is too much to say, is it that serious?

"Which Aiqing can give me a good way to get the best of both worlds?" The emperor smiled slightly, leaned back on the dragon chair, and threw the prickly prickly pear down.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan for you to make up your mind." It was Guo Xinde who spoke again.

"Oh? Please tell me, Guo Aiqing." The emperor smiled and his eyes shone brightly.

"I think that General Yan can be exchanged for his free body with military achievements, and the emperor can give him a little reward. This will not only show my emperor's deep love for loyal ministers and good generals, but will not be true, saying that General Yan is a high-ranking marquis at a young age. , Is it relying on someone's overwhelming power?"

As soon as Guo Xinde finished speaking, all the courtiers began to whisper.Those eyes with ulterior motives were all looking at Ziluo.Obviously, Guo Xinde's last words were directed at Ziluo.This can never be what Ziluo meant, it seems that the emperor wanted to use this incident to warn Ziluo and all the courtiers who had relations with Ziluo.

Of course, it also meant to warn me.

The emperor deserves to be the emperor.

In a blink of an eye, I peeked at Ziluo, and Ziluo looked at me too, and gave me a slight nod.It seems that all of this is within Ziluo's expectations, and he is reassuring me.

"Well, it's a good idea!" The emperor smiled and asked me, "General Yan, what do you think?"

"I thank the emperor Long En, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." I knelt on my knees and kowtowed.

"Okay! General Yan please get up quickly! Hehehe..." The emperor asked me to get up very happily, and then ordered: "Bring the brazier."

The eunuch on the side bowed and put my deed of sale on the dragon case, turned around and got off the dragon platform to go to the apse.All the courtiers whispered to each other, but this time they talked about me.I stood up and peeked at Ziluo again, the emperor didn't mean to ask him this time.Ziluo smiled at me, moved her lips slightly, and made a gesture of kissing me.

His face suddenly burned, and he hurriedly lowered his head and stopped looking at him.

How could you do such a thing on this golden palace!

Yun Qingtong, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly let out a muffled laugh, and said in a low voice, "Why are you blushing all of a sudden?"

Now my whole body is on fire, he must have seen Ziluo's movements!

What a shame!When there is no one else, I must...
