The well-organized rows of civil and military officials were silent for a moment, and only the soft and gentle voice echoed in Fengtian Hall.

As the lingering sound dissipated, you could hear a needle drop in the main hall.

However, rather than awe, behind the silence in the palace is actually more shock and confusion.

It has been more than ten years since the Holy Emperor went to court, and during these more than ten years, the court has been in turmoil and the struggle has been fierce.

The important ministers of the Five Governments and Six Ministries, as well as the princes and nobles, all have experienced ups and downs several times. Except for the dozen or so evergreens in the court, a large part of the ministers have never even seen what the emperor looks like.

Why are you suddenly in court now?

However, doubts remain doubts. From high-level officials to ministers who enter the palace to discuss affairs, they basically have the skill of political literacy to the fullest.

Although you may not know the whole thing by taking a glimpse, you can at least get a general idea.

The emperor's sudden appearance to court after such a long time must have deep meaning. He first performed the national ceremony for Prime Minister Xu, opened the Meridian Gate to welcome him, and then added the words of admonition from General Huaiyuan just now...

No one talked or heard from anyone, but there was eye contact.

Officials in the same yamen and friends in the same party all look at each other with something meaningful in their eyes.

Some people were gloating over their misfortune as they looked at the prince behind the low table with python horns under the palace.

Some people’s eyes are full of worry.

Some people just ignore the matter and ignore it.

Compared with the different expressions of the courtiers below, Li Yucheng, who was sitting behind the low table in Mangjiao, could not see anything strange on his face, and there was even a hint of joy in his eyes.

In the silent hall, Li Yucheng stood up from behind the desk, straightened his python robe, and then moved to the front of the line of honorable guests, waiting for his father to arrive.

Suddenly,

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

The sound of three clean whips came from the screen at the back of the palace as a sign of salute.

Wow!

The prince took the lead, and all the officials in the palace fell to their knees.

"Da...."

"Da...."

"Da...."

Optimus Prime with red walls and blue tiles, and white jade railings on the floor.

The silent hall was solemn and solemn. All the ministers were kneeling on the ground. No one made a sound or raised their head. Only the sound of gentle footsteps echoed.

Finally,

The footsteps stopped in front of the golden throne.

He did not follow a large group of followers according to the Great Flame ritual system.

Independent from the palace,

Li Yaoxuan's turbid and indifferent eyes swept across the ministers below, and finally landed on the only black dragon robe standing below.

"...."

The eyes of both parties collided with His Highness Fengtian for a moment,

There was a smile in Li Yaoxuan's eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised:

【What, you don’t show courtesy?】

Hearing this, Xu Yinhe lowered his gaze, did not reply, and bowed his hands.

Seeing this, Li Yaoxuan shook his head boredly, leaned back and sat on the golden throne.

As he sat down, a light cough sounded from the censor.

"Long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live long live!"

All the civil and military officials who were kneeling on the ground shouted out in unison. After reaching the circular square outside the Fengtian Hall, the hundreds of officials who went to court and the imperial guards with swords all knelt down and shouted out.

Long live the mountain! It resounds throughout the sky!

Leaning lightly on the dragon chair, Li Yaoxuan looked down at the familiar and unfamiliar scene below, and found that he had almost forgotten the feeling of sitting on this throne.

I don’t know when, my wrinkled palms carefully rubbed the carvings on the dragon chair that had not changed for thousands of years.

Li Yaoxuan suddenly smiled, with a sigh in his words:

[Xu Xiang, as dusk approaches, I suddenly miss the time when we stood under this hall together, walking on thin ice, with every step startling... Haha.]

"..."

Hearing the sound transmission, he slowly raised his eyes, seeing that the high-spirited young man was already twilight, Xu Yinhe's eyes looked slightly complicated.

Be quiet a little,

He sighed softly:

【I miss you too.】

When Li Yaoxuan heard the other party actually answer, a smile appeared on his old wrinkled face:

[Do you miss me? If you do it again, I won’t let you grow up again.]

Xu Yinhe shook his head, did not answer, and reminded:

[Your Majesty, you are not here to reminisce with your ministers. It is time to discuss matters in private.]

Li Yaoxuan paused for a moment while rubbing his palm on the dragon chair. The cloudiness in his eyes disappeared instantly. He took a deep look at the other person and said loudly:

"Everyone loves you."

The voice was vigorous and powerful, resounding inside and outside the palace, without any signs of decay.

Wow!

After all the civil and military officials stood up one after another, Li Yaoxuan glanced at the prince, who was standing at the head of the distinguished ranks, and said in a calm voice:

"Yucheng, I have lived in the palace for a long time and have worked hard these years."

Upon hearing this, Li Yucheng immediately took a step to the side, saluted meticulously, and replied:

"Father, it is a child's duty to share your worries."

Li Yaoxuan leaned on the dragon chair, looked down at his eldest son, and chuckled with unknown meaning:

"Very good."

As he spoke, he raised a finger and pointed at the low table with python horns placed under the steps:

"What are you standing for? Sit back."

"...."

Li Yucheng's eyes were slightly stunned and he hesitated in his words:

"Father, you..."

Li Yaoxuan's old face revealed a smile:

"I am exhausted mentally and physically and have no intention of dealing with government affairs. I just came here to take a look. You continue."

After saying that, Li Yaoxuan no longer paid attention to the hesitation in the prince's eyes, and asked the eunuch chief in front of the palace:

"Mingyou, where were the discussions just now?"

Upon hearing this, the chief eunuch in front of the palace, who was wearing a python robe, immediately bowed:

"Back to Your Majesty, General Huaiyuan has just come up to ask for orders to lead the troops for the second prince."

"Oh?"

Li Yao

Said,

He looked at His Highness Xu Yinhe and asked with a smile:

"Xu Xiang, what do you think about this matter?"

Xu Yinhe's expression remained unchanged, he raised his eyes and glanced at the other party, and said in a deep voice:

"There must be a rift in Your Majesty's heart regarding this matter, and it is inconvenient for me to say more."

After hearing this reply, Li Yaoxuan tapped the dragon chair twice with his fingertips, and said slightly dissatisfied:

"I just want to hear Prime Minister Xu's opinion. There is no need to worry, just speak frankly."
