Cultivating the Tao: Beginning with Meditation and Liver Experience

Chapter 5 The Son of Heaven's Reward, the Favor of the Chief Executive!
"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanzhong Yongbo He Guang, the commander of the Imperial City Division Wang Lin, and the hundreds of households of the Habayashi guard Xu Yan to see you!"

Outside the Qianming Palace, a tall, well-groomed purple-robed eunuch announced his decree loudly, with a loud voice and full of vigor, without the slightest femininity of ordinary servants.

"Humble position (officials, slaves) obey the order!"

Xu Yan, who had already shed his green dragon armor, heard the call of the Dagan Shengtian, and joined hands with Zhongyong Bo He Guang and Wang Lin, the commander of the Imperial City Department, to worship together.

With his head down, he obediently followed Uncle Zhongyong He Guang into the main hall, and together with them, he met Yang An, the current emperor of Dagan.

After Xu Yan saluted, he couldn't help but secretly raised his head and glanced up, a little curious about what the holy emperor Yang An looked like.

Then, he was a little disappointed.

Because Yang An looked a little old at this time, his hair was already gray, after all, he was past sixty years old, and he was no longer young.

There is only a pair of eyes, which are so sharp that people dare not look directly at them.

Furthermore, Xu Yan was somewhat familiar with the aura on his body.

It's not about the mysterious and mysterious emperor's majesty, but a kind of arbitrarily domineering aura unique to the superior.

Aside from this domineering aura that belongs only to the superior, this Daqian Shengtian seems to be no different from ordinary old people, and he is not as mysterious as imagined.

But soon, Xu Yan suppressed all the thoughts in his mind, let himself not think about anything, lowered his head, and looked at the ground of the hall, as if he was studying some fundamental principles of heaven and earth.

He felt a series of sharp eyes with scrutiny swept over him, as if he could see people's hearts.

Under those gazes, Xu Yan felt as if he had been stripped naked, all the secrets in his heart could not be hidden, and his nakedness was exposed in broad daylight.

It's very bad to be stared at by others.

Xu Yan didn't dare to bet on whether this was his own illusion, or that in this hall, there were really some powerful people secretly peeping at his thoughts and memories in some strange way.

He can only try to empty his mind, let himself not think about anything, and reduce his sense of existence.

"Show things up!"

Yang An spoke lightly, looking at the bronze box in He Guang's hand.

"I obey the order!" He Guang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and hastily handed over the bronze box in his hand to the purple-robed eunuch beside him, like throwing away a hot potato.

The purple-robed eunuch took the bronze box from He Guang's hand, but did not give it to the Holy Son of Heaven Yang An immediately.

Instead, after repeated inspections, after confirming that there was no problem, he opened the bronze box, took out a silver seal from inside, presented it to Yang An, and said happily, "Your Majesty, it is indeed the Emperor's Seal, there is no problem!"

The Holy Son of Heaven, Yang An, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and then said humanely to the yellow robe at the side: "Please ask the national teacher to check again to see if there is any problem with this seal."

Once bitten, twice shy!
The Fang Tianzi Xinxi on the imperial case can even hide the guarding gods and the golden dragon of the dynasty's luck, so we can know that the counterfeiters are superb.

Although the purple-robed servant next to him is good in martial arts, he is not a professional after all, so Yang An can't guarantee whether there is a problem with the judgment of the purple-robed servant.

The Taoist in yellow robe didn't shirk when he heard the words. He picked up the Emperor's Seal and checked it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, with the protection of heaven and earth, the lost Emperor's Seal is found!"

With professionals speaking.

The Holy Son of Heaven, Yang An, was finally relieved, heaved a sigh of relief, and then told the purple-robed eunuch beside him: "In this case, then send an order to release the defense in the palace!"

"Old servant complies with the order!" The purple-robed eunuch replied respectfully, and then walked out of the hall to deliver the order.

The emperor's seal was lost and recovered, a false alarm, and the oppressive atmosphere in the hall finally eased a little.

Especially the Holy Son of Heaven, Yang An, the frost on his face finally dissipated, he looked at Xu Yan with admiration and curiosity, and asked, "Your name is Xu Yan, right?"

"My lord, the humble job is indeed called Xu Yan!"

Xu Yan came out and replied respectfully.

"Very good!" Yang An said loudly: "Xiao Rang, draw up an order for me: Xu Yan from all households of the Yulin Guard, good moral character, humble, diligent and conscientious in doing things, has the ability to discern the subtleties, great merit, specially tuned in before the emperor to listen Order to confer the post of Lieutenant Zhaowu, the sixth-rank imperial former commander."

Habayashi Wei Baihu is just a ninth-rank military officer of the Dagan Dynasty, while Zhaowu Xiaowei of the Yuqian Division is a regular sixth-rank, directly promoted to six ranks, so we can know how much Xu Yan's contribution this time is.

Even so, Yang An still felt that he had treated Xu Yan a little badly, thought for a while, and continued: "Besides, take Xu Aiqing to the widow's treasure house, and give him whatever he meets, and give him a set of basalt armor in addition. Xu Aiqing."

The Holy Son of Heaven, Yang An, is extremely generous.

Not only allowed Xu Yan to go directly to the palace treasury to pick out a treasure, but even specially gave him a set of basalt armor, obviously considering that after this incident, Xu Yan might encounter revenge from the dark people, and he didn't want him to suffer because of this. lost his life.

The basalt armor, like the Qinglong armor that Xu Yan was wearing before, is the most important weapon of the imperial court.

It's just different from the Qinglong armor. The Xuanwu armor is the main defense. Before the energy of the armor is exhausted, even martial saints and celestial masters can't break through its defense. It has the title of "immovable as a mountain".

"Old slave obeys!"

The eunuch Xiao Rang, who was the supervisor of ceremonies, responded respectfully, and then left the hall with Xu Yan and went to the treasure house of the palace.

obviously.

The next thing is not his little Habayashi Guard Baihu, no, it is the little Yuqian Si Zhaowu who can participate.

On the way to the palace treasury.

Xiao Rang, the eunuch in charge of the official seal, also thanked Xu Yan: "Thanks to Mr. Xu this time, he was able to see clearly, and found out that Feng Bao was a thief, so he was intercepted in time and returned to Baoyin."

"Otherwise, our family will become big criminals."

"From now on, if Mr. Xu has something that our family can use, just send someone a message. If our family can do it, we will definitely not refuse!"

Xiao Rang, the chief executive of the inner court, was also terrified of what happened tonight.

Because Feng Bao, the accompanying eunuch, is a member of the supervisor of ceremonies, and also a senior executive of the supervisor of rites, he is Xiao Rang's confidant.

If Feng Bao's scheme really succeeds, he will bring Emperor Xinxi out of the palace.

Even if he, Xiao Rang, was trusted by the Holy Son of Heaven again, he would probably be blamed and implicated by him.

At the least, he was dismissed from office and demoted, and at the worst, he lost his life directly.

Fortunately, Feng Bao's plot failed.

The Emperor Xinxi was lost and recovered, and Xiao Rang and other high-level officials of the Rites and Supervisors also had room to maneuver.

Therefore, Xiao Rang was really grateful to Xu Yan, it was Xu Yan who saved his future in court and his family and life.

To be honest, Xu Yan had an extraordinary background, he was the grandson of Ding Yuanhou.

Otherwise, Xiao Rang, high and low, would accept him as a adopted son and focus on training him.

"Eunuch Xiao is being polite. These are what lower officials should do. I can't afford to be praised by my eunuch."

"Furthermore, I can't blame my father-in-law for this matter. I can only blame Feng Bao for pretending so well that even the guardian gods in the palace were deceived. In addition, my father-in-law has been serving His Majesty's side all the time, so I don't have time to pay attention to this thief Feng Bao. Will be blinded by it accidentally."

Xu Yan said respectfully, without any pride in taking credit.

After all, this man in front of him is a real boss, if he wants to hang out in the palace, he must not offend him.

If you really want to hate the other party, I'm afraid you don't know how to die.

Xu Yan is not a stunned young man, so naturally he would not really take Xiao Rang's words seriously, and pretend to be Xiao Rang's life-saving benefactor.

After all, when it comes to favors, people come first and love comes after.

People recognize it, keep it in their hearts, and want to repay you, which is human kindness.

If people don't recognize it and don't remember it in their hearts, then it is worthless, not as good as a piece of sesame seed cake.

So just listen to Xiao Rang's words, and you must not take them seriously.

Whoever wants to rely on other people's favors is a sesame seed.
