The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Shen Tiange's pupils shrank slightly, watching the silver-armored young man who could be considered his childhood friend striding towards him. His face was cold and serious, and his right hand was on the hilt of the sharp sword hanging at his waist, and the long sword seemed to be ready to be unsheathed and hurt at any time.

This silver-armored young man was Sheng Yang, the left lieutenant of the Imperial Guards. He was also the son of a military officer family. He and Shen Tiange had known each other since childhood and had a good relationship. Shen Tiange had entered the palace through his connections.

To be honest, when he went to find Sheng Yang, he was not sure that he would help him. After all, Sheng Yang was now in charge of an errand! But he didn't expect that Sheng Yang was still very loyal at the time, and he actually agreed to it at once, which made him feel that he would not be a childhood friend who grew up together.

But now it seems that Sheng Yang is not concerned about the brotherhood, but someone has already told him to do so, so he is so easy to talk to, and is even willing to help him at the risk of "neglecting his duty"...

Neglecting his duty, he is clearly doing this under the instructions of the boss, and it is not difficult and he will not be punished!

Shen Tiange took a breath and couldn't say anything to blame Sheng Yang. They are not children anymore, they have all entered the official career, so they can't act recklessly like they did when they were young. They should grow up and take on the responsibilities they should bear.

After bowing to Sheng Yang as a greeting, Shen Tiange, surrounded by many guards, wisely raised his hands on both sides to indicate that he had no weapons and did not intend to resist: "If you want to take me to see His Majesty, I will not resist, Sheng Yang, don't be impulsive!"

"Don't draw your sword, don't draw your sword, what if my handsome face gets hurt? Brother, I'm not young anymore, but I haven't married yet, so my face can't get hurt!"

Even though he was surrounded by so many people, Shen Tiange still had the mind to make a few jokes. After all, His Majesty only ordered him to go to see him, and didn't take his life. At present, it seems that his safety is still guaranteed.

Sheng Yang looked cold and indifferent, and only nodded slightly: "Second Master Shen, please follow me." A glimmer of light flashed in his cold eyes under his sword eyebrows. He winked at the many imperial guards surrounding Shen Tiange, and they all retreated and did not surround Shen Tiange again.

Shen Tiange put down his hand and followed Sheng Yang leisurely. He couldn't resist anyway, so he might as well follow him peacefully to avoid annoying His Majesty again. Their Shen family... has indeed been a little arrogant over the years.

Fortunately, this slap came in time and woke them up. If it was later, I'm afraid that their Shen family would make a big mistake. At that time, it is hard to say whether His Majesty will still show mercy to them and give them a chance to correct it.

Although Shen Tiange looked calm and calm on the surface, and followed Sheng Yang to the Daming Palace in a chic manner, in fact, all kinds of thoughts were surging in his heart. He was carrying two serious crimes of deceiving the emperor!

One was to use the excuse of injury to return to the capital secretly instead of going to the battlefield, and the other was to enter the palace privately without His Majesty's permission and summons. Now, even if his father has planned to cut off those party members who have attached themselves to him, His Majesty is afraid that it will be difficult for them to trust the Shen family again.

"Alas..." Shen Tiange sighed inwardly. In the end, he was too confident and thought he could deceive His Majesty. Or, the Shen family had been doing well in recent years, which made him think that he could achieve whatever he wanted. So he was so bold.

Shen Tiange followed Sheng Yang into the Daming Palace with trepidation. He originally thought he was going to meet His Majesty, but Sheng Yang took him to a remote side hall in the Daming Palace and left, leaving Shen Tiange alone standing in the simple but gorgeous palace with a blank face.

"Didn't I come to meet His Majesty?" Shen Tiange looked around the empty hall with a secretive look in his eyes.

A clever eunuch in the palace smiled and said, "Young Master Shen, please wait for a moment. His Majesty has already gone to bed. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you."

This side hall is a place for some officials who walk in the imperial study to stay. It is next to the tea room. Although it is not simple, there is definitely no bed or couch. He smiled and said, "Young Master Shen, why don't you rest on the couch for a while? After the morning court tomorrow, His Majesty should receive you."

Shen Tiange: …………

He really thinks too much of himself. Even if His Majesty knew that he was going to sneak into the palace to see Shen Xiaoyue, it is impossible for him to stay up so late to wait for him. Shen Tiange, who felt good about himself, smiled awkwardly, and finally lay down on the soft couch with his clothes on and rested.

At the second dawn, just after the fifth watch, Xuanyuan had already gotten up. With the help of the chief eunuch, he put on the solemn wide-sleeved court dress, wore a five-string pearl and jade tassel crown, and tied a mutton-fat jade pendant around his waist.

"Your Majesty, General Sheng has taken Mr. Shen back to the side hall yesterday." The eunuch bowed and straightened Xuanyuan's cuffs, while whispering back.

Xuanyuan nodded slightly, his handsome face with handsome eyebrows and eyes was faintly visible under the cover of pearls and jade: "After the court, let him go to the imperial study to see me." Although he was extremely displeased with Shen Tiange's bold behavior, Xuanyuan was very busy and could not spare time to meet him.

Now Xuanyuan is completely familiar with government affairs, and can handle the memorials of hundreds of officials in the morning court smoothly without any mistakes. It can be said that Xuanyuan now understands the court better than Yan Junxian, and has stronger control over the court.

Gu Wenqing and others have been sown like seeds. They are not noticeable now, but sooner or later they will grow into towering trees and become pillars that Xuanyuan can use.

After leaving the Huangji Palace, Xuan Yuan headed towards the imperial study. He also took Gu Wenqing with him, relying on the previous strategies to deal with the Yellow River floods. Gu Wenqing is now a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. At his age, he is considered very promising. Yes.

Not to mention, Xuan Yuan saw that Gu Wenqing was really quick and intelligent, so he gave him an official in the royal study room and often asked him to accompany him. Naturally, the officials around the emperor were better than ordinary ministers who could not see his majesty. More promising.

After entering the imperial study room, Xuan Yuan glanced at the desk and saw that it was already filled with today's memorials, which had been arranged clearly and neatly.

Gu Wenqing had been transferred to the imperial study room for a few days, and he was already familiar with what he had to do. He stood directly at the desk, picked up the memorials, read them through them, and then sorted them into categories very quickly.

While Gu Wenqing was classifying the memorials according to their importance and aspects, Xuan Yuan picked up the hot tea from the tea room, took a sip, lowered his eyes and fiddled with the tea lid, and said indifferently: "It's called Shen Tiange comes in."

After Shen Tiange waited for a long time, he was finally summoned by His Majesty to enter the imperial study. He saw a majestic young man sitting behind the desk. He had already taken off his crown, and his handsome and handsome face was looming in the mist of water, with an indifferent expression. He is dignified, with drooping eyelashes thick and black, and the hand holding the teacup is long and strong, with well-defined joints.

After just a quick glance, Shen Tiange bowed his head and knelt down, paying homage with a great salute: "Your Majesty, Chen Tiange, pays homage to His Majesty. May His Majesty's peace be with you."

Xuan Yuan hummed softly and put the tea cup in his hand on the desk.

His slender white hands were put together on his legs. Xuan Yuan raised his eyes to look at the handsome young man kneeling on the ground, with a hint of a smile on his lips: "The battle report the day before yesterday said that Shen Qing's family was on the battlefield. I was injured, and I didn’t expect to see you in the imperial capital today.”

Shen Tiange's heart skipped a beat and he buried his head deeply: "I deceived Your Majesty and deserved death. Please punish Your Majesty."

Xuan Yuan had no reaction to Shen Tiange's apology. He just swept his dark eyes indifferently over Shen Tiange's buried head and said lightly: "Oh, does the Shen Qing family also know that what you did was a crime of deceiving the emperor?"

His tone was neither cold nor hot, and there was a hint of sarcasm and coldness in the mellow and magnetic voice. Hearing the sweat on Shen Tiange's back, he said nonchalantly: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I know I deserve it." Wansi, I made such a big mistake because of my confusion. Please forgive me."

Xuan Yuan's eyes were indifferent, with a hint of coldness in his deep eyes. He was very dissatisfied with Shen Tiange's rash return to the imperial capital, but naturally he would not show it at this time. He only said lightly: "Shen Qing's family suddenly returned. Jing, I’m afraid you’ve received the letter from Concubine Yuan Gui, right?”

Crossing the broad desk, a flash of sharpness flashed across Xuan Yuan's deep and unpredictable eyes. Xuan Yuan sat back on the large dragon chair, enigmatic, dignified and awe-inspiring. He stood tall with an indifferent expression. Waiting for Shen Tiange's answer.

Shen Tiange did not dare to neglect, he lowered his head and said honestly: "Your Majesty, my father and ministers have understood that the Shen family has been too arrogant in recent years, and my father has planned to resign and retire after the war with Da Qin is over. "

"Are you resigning?" Xuan Yuan narrowed his eyes and twitched his thin lips to reveal a cool smile. Shen Yu really knew the current affairs. He knew that he had offended His Majesty and immediately decided to resign. It can be said that Very decisive.

There was a deep meaning in his dark eyes, and with a deep glance passing by, Xuan Yuan snorted softly: "If this is the case, I will show you dignity when Shen Aiqing delivers her resignation."

Now that he has said this, it means that Xuan Yuan does not intend to pursue the Shen family. He has really let the Shen family go. This matter has been revealed. Although the Shen family will no longer be so prosperous, at least they are not worried. It offended the emperor's fear.

"Since the Shen Qing family is injured, we should not return to the border for the time being." After making the decision to let the Shen family go, Xuan Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Tiange who was kneeling on the ground, with an indifferent tone.

Shen Tiange lowered his head and knocked on the ground gently: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Just be a guard by my side for now." Xuan Yuan glanced at Shen Tiange and waved for Shen Tiange to go down, while he himself picked up the memorial that Gu Wenqing had sorted and started to read through it.

Shen Tiange stood up quietly, and the eunuch took him to collect the guards' clothes. Before finally leaving the imperial study, Shen Tiange raised his head and glanced at Xuan Yuan quietly. Seeing his serious face, he lowered his head and turned around. Exited the door.
