Chapter 408 The Emperor's Secret Pressure
The old man was sitting next to the emperor at this time, with his back slightly bowed, his chin closed, his eyes hanging down not far from his toes, he was holding the teacup in both hands, but he didn't take a sip, his whole body was calmly Talking about respect, he completely changed the posture of holding his head high when he was here in the past.

This old man is none other than the number one man in the imperial court today, the Minister of the imperial court, Ren Linge.

Ren Linge, who usually sits in the side hall of the Golden Luan Hall, is either talking about pointing the country, or listening to others in silence, his face is full of planning and majesty.

After decades, this is the first time that Ren Linge sat here, he was uncomfortable from head to toe, his heart was still pounding, his ears were stretched high, every second he was waiting for the emperor to speak, but And full of worry that the emperor will speak.

As for the emperor, today he specially passed Ren Ling Pavilion to the side hall alone, but he just kept silent about any important matters. He talked about the good tea from the new tribute, and asked about Ren Yuanzhen's marriage. Chatting here and there for almost half an hour, as if they didn't know that every second and every moment during this time, Ren Linge was sitting on pins and needles.

And the expression on the emperor's face seemed to be the same as before, with a lot of kindness and trust amidst the majesty.

But who is Ren Linge, that is an old fox who has been in the officialdom for decades and has watched the emperor's face for half his life. Somewhat undetectable resentment.

This was also the reason why Ren Linge was nervous.

At this time, the emperor finally put the teacup on the table, as if he suddenly remembered something, raised his eyes slightly, and said to Ren Linge: "By the way, Ren Qing, I remembered today that you haven't seen me for a long time. I saw your sister, so I lined up a table of hot pot in the side hall of Baocheng Hall, and before you leave the palace, go to Baocheng Hall to have dinner with the queen."

Hearing this, Ren Linge quickly held the teacup in both hands, carefully placed it on the table, and then knelt down on the ground with a "plop", without any fear that his pampered old bones would all fall apart, and said thank you in a loud voice : "The old minister thanked His Majesty for the kindness of the emperor. His Majesty's kindness to the old minister, even if the old minister dedicated his life and tied the knot with grass, he would not be able to repay it!"

While talking, Ren Linge kowtowed his head loudly.

Seeing the old minister's respectful attitude, the emperor showed a somewhat gratified and friendly look on his face, but his eyes were clearly unmoved.

"Okay, okay, loved ones are loved, people have a good relationship, Ren Qing doesn't need to be too polite, just get up and sit down."

The emperor said rightly, and waved his hands symbolically.

"Old minister obeys." Hearing this, Ren Linge kowtowed again, then got up tremblingly from the ground, bowed and sat down again.

At this time, the emperor picked up a string of jade beads from the soft bed beside him, twisted the beads with one hand, and chatted casually: "I have eaten this hot pot several times this winter, and it is really good. Warm, my heart also warmed up.

When eating, my head is full of sweat and my face is covered with fog. Eating and eating can temporarily relieve a lot of troubles in my heart. "

When Ren Linge heard it, he immediately keenly heard the true meaning that the emperor wanted to express behind the hot pot chat, a layer of bean-sized beads of sweat immediately gushed out on his forehead, and he repeatedly responded: "That's really too much!" Well... that's great..."

The emperor nodded slightly, counted the rosary beads and smiled without saying a word.

For a while, the side hall fell into an embarrassing silence again.

Ren Linge's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he quietly raised his eyes to glance at the emperor, hesitated again and again, and finally made up his mind to say: "But... the old minister dares to say something, if your majesty has any troubles, you can use it Where the old minister is, please His Majesty just order the old minister."

Having said this, Ren Linge licked his lips again, and then continued: "Although the old minister is old and useless, he is dizzy and pedantic, but if there is anything that can serve His Majesty and the power of heaven, the old minister has exhausted it." The last scum of the old bones, I will do my best to share the worries of His Majesty!"

When the emperor heard this impassioned confession of loyalty, he just smiled and waved his hands, and said three times in a row: "Okay, okay, okay, Ren Qing is indeed my most trusted veteran, and he is the most considerate of my difficulties."
