Chapter 153 This sage looks familiar.
That night, due to nervousness and excitement, Liu Yuanhui tossed and turned and could not sleep well.
When the rooster crows, he gets up to wash up and ponder: "I was fine yesterday, why are I so nervous today! I'm just meeting the emperor!"
An hour later, Prince Yan's carriage stopped in front of the Liu Mansion.
"Master Liu, it's time to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. Your Majesty is waiting for you in the car at the door!" A palace guard said loudly at Liu Yuanhui's door.
Liu Yuanhui wiped his face, composed himself, and followed the palace guards to the car.
"Brother Liu, have you ever thought that this is not your first time meeting a saint?"
In the car, King Yan couldn't help but joked.
Liu Yuanhui didn't know why: "What does the prince mean by this?"
"Hahahaha, nothing. You will understand when you enter the palace later."
King Yan felt funny when he thought about the scene when he saw the emperor.
Soon.
Liu Yuanhui and King Yan got off the carriage from Xuande Gate.
Walking all the way, we entered the Ziwei Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Inside the palace, Liu Yuanhui couldn't help but look around. Different from the red walls and gold tiles of the Forbidden City, the appearance of this palace complex was blue bricks and green tiles. Only the pillars and window frames of the palace were red, and the overall size was much smaller than the Forbidden City.
The two of them soon arrived in front of the Wende Hall. At this time, Song Huizong had just left the court.
"Your Majesty! King Yan asked for an audience and said that he would bring Liu Yuanhui, the new Minister of Household Affairs, to meet the Holy Spirit!"
An old eunuch sent a message to Song Huizong.
Song Huizong knew that Liu Yuanhui had arrived, but he still didn't know his identity. If he recognized him as Zhao Yi, thinking of all the experiences in the past, he would lose face as an emperor! ?
Song Huizong quickly tied the handkerchief he carried behind his head, covered his face, and then said: "Pass!"
"It is said that Zhao Yu, King of Yan, has an audience with Liu Yuanhui, the Minister of Household Affairs!" the eunuch said loudly.
"Remember, don't look directly at the Emperor after entering! Kneel down and bow down first! Get up after the Emperor says he's flat!" King Yan told Liu Yuanhui.
"Yuan...Yuanhui understands!" Despite all the mental preparation he had done all the way, at this moment, Liu Yuanhui still felt his heart pounding.
This is the emperor of the Song Dynasty!
The unrivaled supreme ruler in the era of imperial power!
Life, death, plunder, all depends on his word!
History books say that Song Huizong was obsessed with calligraphy and painting, but according to Liu Yuanhui, this man was the king of a country anyway, and he must be very majestic!
Following King Yan, the two of them walked into the Hall of Wende.
"Long live my emperor!" Liu Yuanhui imitated King Yan's movements and knelt down.
"My brother is in peace! I love you in peace!" said Song Huizong, who was wearing a mask.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After King Yan stood up, he found Liu Yuanhui still kneeling below, and then lightly kicked him.
Liu Yuanhui stood up quickly.
"Thank... thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yuanhui stammered.
"Your Majesty, this is the first time this person has entered the palace and he doesn't understand the rules. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" King Yan said.
"No problem, no problem!" Song Huizong replied.
When King Yan saw Song Huizong's face covered with a veil, he asked, "Brother, why are you covering your face?"
Song Huizong pretended to cough twice and replied: "Ahem! I caught a cold when I was little. In order not to pass it on to the ministers, I covered myself with a veil."
"Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor?" King Yan asked.
"The imperial doctor has seen it. It's just a slight cold. It will be fine in two or three days!"
Song Huizong said, turning to Liu Yuanhui: "Master Liu, I have heard of you a long time ago, and I have also seen your Cuju competition. The recent disaster relief errands have been done well!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yuanhui replied, keeping his eyes on the ground.
"Liu Yuanhui! The Emperor is talking to you! Why don't you look at the Emperor when he speaks?" King Yan leaned over and whispered.
"Didn't you say you can't look directly at the Emperor?" Liu Yuanhui replied.
"Oh, why are you so stupid! You can watch now!" King Yan continued.
Song Huizong couldn't help laughing when he heard the conversation between the two.
Liu Yuanhui also looked up at Song Huizong, and was immediately shocked...
"You, you, you, aren't you Zhao Yi!!" After a while, he couldn't help but scream!
"Liu Yuanhui must not be rude!" King Yan said.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter!"
Song Huizong smiled and took off his veil and said: "I didn't expect that you would recognize me even though I was wearing a veil!"
Liu Yuanhui was speechless.
The person he kicked out of the dog hole before was actually the emperor of the Song Dynasty? !
Zhao Yi is Song Huizong?
Is Song Huizong Zhao Yi? ? !
This thing was going to blow him away!
But then I thought about it.
This man comes and goes without a trace, mysterious and powerful, and the most important thing is that his surname is Zhao!
Hey, why haven't you thought about this before? !
"You didn't expect that, did you? Liu Yuanhui, the person you helped pay back the money is the current Holy Emperor! Hahaha!" King Yan laughed at the side.
"Liu Aiqing is extremely smart and cares about the country. It's really..." Song Huizong said as he stood up and whispered in Liu Yuanhui's ear: "Don't mention what happened at Yichun Court to anyone! Otherwise, I will punish you from the nine tribes!"
Then Song Huizong took a step back and continued: "Liu Aiqing is really a role model for the people of the Song Dynasty, hahahaha!"
"Zhao... Your Majesty, thank you for the award!" Liu Yuanhui quickly handed over his hand.
"As for joining the court as an official, if you have any other requests, just tell me! After all, I owe you a favor!" Song Huizong said.
Seeing that the emperor was his old acquaintance, Liu Yuanhui relaxed a lot and asked, "What does that purple and gold doctor do?"
"Doctor Zijin Guanglu is my personal attendant. He can enter and exit Ziwei Palace freely. If you have any questions, you can write to me directly and I will directly assign tasks." Song Huizong said.
"Can I not go to the morning court?" Liu Yuanhui asked next.
"There is no precedent for this in the imperial court, but since you are a meritorious minister and have a free and undisciplined nature, you can skip the morning court affair! You can enter and leave the Ziwei Palace at will before the palace door is locked! It will not delay your business and play Cuju!" Song Huizong replied.
"That's very good! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Yuanhui said.
While several people were talking, a eunuch brought up a set of official uniforms and handed them to Liu Yuanhui.
"I still have something to discuss with King Yan. Liu Aiqing can leave the palace and go home. You can learn the details of the palace etiquette later! I will also call you into the palace at any time! Back off!" Song Huizong said.
"Okay!" Liu Yuanhui said, picking up his official uniform and leaving.
"Wei Chen is resigning!" King Yan said.
"Ah! That humble minister resigns!" Liu Yuanhui said and left the Hall of Wende.
Seeing Liu Yuanhui leaving, King Yan stepped forward and asked, "Brother, I am confused, why are you so anxious to let Liu Yuanhui enter the palace?"
"I didn't plan to let him enter the palace so soon! But that girl Ling'er has been nagging about this in my ears all day long! I am disturbed to the point of being uneasy!" Song Huizong said.
"Is it possible?" King Yan asked.
"I did have the idea to marry Ling'er to Liu Yuanhui before, but Ling'er refused at that time! I think it was just a temporary idea. Nowadays, the border situation is serious. As the Royal Princess Ling'er, there may be a marriage in the future. For the sake of the great Song Jiangshan Sheji, marry Liu Yuanhui, let’s discuss it later!” Song Huizong sighed.
