Hearing the sound, Tang Ji turned around and looked around. After seeing the person clearly, he quickly raised his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, Tang Ji has met Commander Su."
Su Ling was wearing bronze armor today, with a red cloak on her back and a sword in her hand. She looked very majestic and replied calmly: "Master Tang, you are too polite. I don't like the cumbersome rules in this palace, but rules are rules."
Mr. Tang, it’s better to be careful with what you say, so as not to be overheard and make a fuss about it.”
Immediately, he bowed his hands to Li Yu and saluted: "See His Highness King You."
"No gift." Li Yu replied casually.
Tang Ji also nodded and replied: "Thank you, General Su, for your teaching."
"Nothing, the morning meeting is about to start, so I'll take the first step." Su Ling nodded to the two of them and continued walking to the road ahead.
Tang Ji looked at his back and asked doubtfully: "General Su went to court wearing armor?"
Along the way, I saw many rough-looking generals, but they were dressed in official uniforms like civil servants. Is it possible that Su Ling still has such privileges?
Li Yu had a smile on his face. He originally didn't bother to explain these trivial matters to others, but every time he explained it to Tang Ji, he always felt an inexplicable sense of pride. He coughed lightly and replied: "General Su Ling is
The only official in the entire court who can bring a sword to court, let alone wear armor, he can wear casual clothes if he wants."
Hearing this, Tang Ji was slightly surprised and couldn't help asking: "Did he save your father's life?"
"How do you know?" Li Yu looked at Tang Ji with wide eyes and continued: "Ten years ago, when my father was traveling, an assassin suddenly came out and almost succeeded. In the critical moment, General Su was like
He descended from the sky like a god, and cut the assassin in half with a long sword. My father already valued him, and since then, he has risen steadily in the Yunxiao Guard."
Sure enough!
Tang Ji's eyes lit up. No bullshit skill could be as fast as saving the old emperor for a promotion. If he could meet him, he would definitely... run faster than anyone else.
Just kidding, Su Ling is a master so he dares to go out to save people. If he goes out, he will be killed!
Tang Ji shook his head, stopped thinking, and continued to walk forward, but before he took a few steps, he met an acquaintance again, but the other person didn't seem to see him, so he smiled and raised his hand and said hello: "
Eunuch Lin!"
Xiao Linzi still remembered what happened three days ago, and was almost killed by Tang Ji. He decided to stay away from this plague god in his heart, and turned to Li Yu and said, "See His Highness You Wang."
"Why are you here? What do you want from me?" Li Yu asked.
Xiao Linzi continued: "Your Highness, the princess wants you to have lunch at Zhaolin Palace at noon."
Li Yu nodded slightly, and then showed a happy smile. That little girl Qi'er has grown into a big girl, and she knows that she feels sorry for him.
But before he could reply, Xiao Linzi glanced at Tang Ji and added: "The princess also said that if Master Tang is here, she will bring Master Tang there too. She wants to hear the story she didn't finish last time."
Immediately, Li Yu almost lost his breath, turned to look at Tang Ji, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Huh, how could a foreign minister like him enter the harem at will? If he dares to go in this time, I will do it myself."
Bring someone to kill him!"
"Oh, I'm so anxious!" Tang Ji mocked casually.
Li Yu frowned slightly and waved his hand: "When the emperor passed away, he asked me to take good care of Qi'er. You already have Sister Jiang, and Qi'er can't marry you as a concubine!"
Tang Ji quickly looked around for a few times. Fortunately, there were no officials nearby. Otherwise, if someone heard him, he might not be able to see the sun tomorrow. He replied angrily: "I'm not a beast, how could I be right?" Is that little girl going to do something?"
"That's right. After all, you and Sister Jiang are sleeping together and you don't dare to touch her. It seems that I am too worried." Li Yu touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
Hearing this, Tang Ji gritted his teeth: "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything. I'm leaving first. It's too late to go to court in the morning!" Seeing that he was about to get angry, Li Yu ran towards the palace road ahead, not forgetting to remind him loudly: "Xiao Linzi, take Tang Ji to the Yamen of the Ministry of Works. !”
Xiao Linzi swallowed his saliva and saw Tang Ji turning his attention to himself. He quickly lowered his head and replied: "Master Tang, I have some friendship with Dr. Liu from the Imperial Hospital. He had previously treated Prince An Qian for his inability to move." , if you need it, my servant can take you to see it."
"Shut up!" Tang Ji said with some displeasure and continued walking forward.
However, Xiao Linzi quickly stood in front of him and pointed to another road: "Master Tang, the Minister of Finance is over here."
But the next second, he met Tang Ji's deep eyes again. He quickly covered his mouth with his hands and walked forward to lead the way. He felt a little pity in his heart: "How could Master Tang not do it if he was born so handsome? Then and the eunuch What’s the difference?”
From time to time, Xiao Linzi led Tang Ji through roads and finally stopped in front of a compound.
"Master Tang, this is the Ministry of Industry. If you don't give me any instructions, I will leave first." Xiao Linzi was worried that he would be silenced if he knew Tang Ji's secret, and he desperately wanted to escape from here.
Tang Ji didn't know what he was thinking, so he waved his hand casually and walked towards the courtyard.
The main body of the Ministry of Industry Yamen is a courtyard, and there is an extended part at the back, with many houses and a deep and wide courtyard.
Seeing Tang Ji walking in, a clerk looked suspicious and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Who are you looking for, sir?"
"I...ahem, I am the newly appointed head of the Farming Department. I will report to the Ministry of Works today." After saying that, Tang Ji also took out the appointment letter from the Ministry of Personnel.
The young official glanced at it casually, then nodded and pointed to the government office on the right: "Your Excellency, please wait here for a moment. After the morning court is over, the doctor will arrange your duties."
Tang Ji nodded slightly and walked straight over.
...
In Zhaolin Palace, Yang Yue was humming a little song, combing her long hair, raised her head and glanced outside the house, murmuring: "Why did it take so long to go to Xiaolinzi? The morning court should have started early, right? Could it be that the emperor brother Didn't you enter the palace? But I clearly heard the two eunuchs tell my father that the emperor is going to serve in Dali Temple today. No, I have to go and see for myself!"
Immediately, she placed the sandalwood comb on the dressing table, stood up and walked outside the house, but happened to encounter Xiao Linzi walking in from the outside, and was immediately frightened.
"Huh, do you want to scare me to death?" Li Yue complained, and then asked: "How is it? Have you told the emperor?"
Xiao Linzi bowed and replied: "Princess Qi, His Highness Prince You said he would come over when he is free."
Li Yue nodded slightly and remembered something again: "What about Tang Ji?"
"The prince said that Mr. Tang is suffering from the disease of being unable to move. That's not true. The prince said that Mr. Tang is a foreign minister and cannot enter the inner palace!" Xiao Linzi was so anxious that beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Li Yue looked at him blankly: "It's all a mess, forget it, he can't come in, so I will go out to look for them."
After saying that, she got up and walked out of the room.
Xiao Linzi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the princess didn't ask any further questions.
But the next second, a voice came from outside the house: "Xiao Linzi, tell me what it means not to lift? Why did Tang Ji not lift?"
