Chapter 960 Face Saint

The seal on the copper bar is as big as half a palm, and it is engraved with "Lord of the Kingdom, Shu". This is the emperor's seal, which usually only appears on official documents, and it will be the emperor's private seal in private.

But the weird thing is how could the emperor directly give orders to Shen Hao, a "little official" from the fourth rank? Why doesn't the above even have the seal of the commander's office?

Moreover, the person who sent this order was not the person in charge of the yamen, but a servant in the palace wearing an eunuch's robe.

"Master Shen, please enter the palace as soon as possible." The eunuch stood beside Shen Hao, urging Shen Hao after he finished reading the copper bars in his hand. The attitude on the face is respectful, but the words are businesslike.

Shen Hao nodded, glanced at Wang Yiming who was waiting by the side, pointed to a file on the table and said, "Report the latest progress of this case to Mr. Pang."

After speaking, he strode out of the office.

And Wang Yiming naturally understood, picked up the file on the table and hurried to the commander's yamen. Master Shen usually does this kind of thing in person, but now he suddenly asked Wang Yiming to do it. Isn't it just to give the emperor's summons to Pang Daren? Wang Yiming can still get through this little bit.

However, no one knows how Pang Ban will react for the time being, and Shen Hao can't guess. It's just that Shen Hao felt that he couldn't just follow the eunuch away like this. Even if he couldn't disobey the emperor's order, he still needed to let his superiors know about his movements, so as to avoid more misunderstandings and it would be difficult to explain later.

After leaving the commander's yamen, Shen Hao found that there was a group of imperial guards accompanying him, and there were two golden sword guards among them!

To be honest, Shen Hao was a little surprised by this treatment. Isn't this a bit too ostentatious?

When the emperor summons you, it will usually be sent out in a pompous way, so that outsiders can see the emperor's favor and appreciation for you, which means to help you look good.

But this kind of ostentation is not given casually depending on the mood. Generally speaking, it is decided according to the status of the person summoned, the status of the lord, or the rank of the official position. For a fourth-rank official like Shen Hao, it would be nice to have two guards from the palace and an eunuch come out as a show, even if it is enough face.

But what's going on now? A team of imperial guards plus two golden sword guards?

Mistaken? The palace is very strict about these things, and it is impossible to make mistakes. The only explanation is that this was deliberately arranged by the emperor, in order to give Shen Hao a ostentation and grace that surpassed his own official position.

Of course, these ostentations only made Shen Hao a little curious. On the other hand, he had another emotion when he met the emperor, which was nervousness.

If it was in the past, Shen Hao would not be nervous about seeing the emperor, because everything he did in Xuanqingwei was able to handle everything, and he was not worried about offending the emperor, nor was he worried about being blamed by the emperor. , What is there to be afraid of and nervous about just seeing each other?

But now it is different.

Ever since the "secret" exchange between Shen Hao and Ye Lansheng alone, he has an extra emotion towards the emperor Yang Shu: to avoid.

Because of the black beast tattoo on his chest, he felt a rare and first "angry" emotion towards Ye Lansheng's "disease" that belonged exclusively to the emperor.

This kind of emotion had to make Shen Hao more vigilant. Afterwards, he repeatedly pondered in his heart what meaning the black beast tattoo conveyed to him in this inexplicable "anger" emotion?

First of all, if it is just a simple spell or other means, it will definitely not make the black beast tattoo "angry", and it should be the caster behind the means. Then the "disease" on the emperor is not ordinary, at least From the perspective of the black beast tattoo, it is clearly representative, and it can be judged by this "trick" whether the performer has enmity or sympathy with it.

Secondly, what if the "disease" on the emperor is not a magical method?

The latter guess was something that Shen Hao didn't take to heart at first, and he didn't even think about it. It wasn’t until I went home to take a shower that I looked down at the black beast tattoo on my chest and suddenly realized: If. If the black beast tattoo is really a “creature” with thinking consciousness, then there is a high probability that it will not be the only one. Since He can have a black beast tattoo attached to his chest, so why can't the emperor have a "spider web" attached to his chest? The same category, but mutual hostility, it seems possible!

However, when Shen Hao wanted to communicate with the black beast tattoo, he didn't get any feedback as before, and Shi Shenhai simply ignored it.

That's why Shen Hao was nervous, worried that the black beast tattoo on his body would be noticed by the emperor.

But whether he was worried or nervous, he couldn't shirk when the emperor came to him, and he didn't even give him time to make some preparations, and there were two golden sword guards following him along the way, which made Shen Hao want to give himself more post. It's hard to do with a mask.

All the way into the palace gate, with the eunuch in front leading the way, plus the order from the emperor in Shen Hao's hand, Shen Hao can be said to be unimpeded all the way except for some interrogations along the way.

The last one arrived was not Wanmin Palace, but Fu'an Palace.

In the past, whether Fu'an Palace or Wanmin, Shen Hao would not have had any thoughts, but now he has to think about the "disease" of the emperor that Ye Lansheng said.

"Master Shen, please wait a moment." The eunuch asked Shen Hao to wait at the door, went in to report by himself, and came out after a while to let Shen Hao follow in.

The most direct feeling is that there is a strong smell of sulfur inside, and the temperature is higher than outside. I think it should be caused by warm soup.

The security in Fu'an Palace was extremely strict. After passing through several strict magic circles, Shen Hao saw the emperor whom he had not seen for a long time, Yang Shu, in a small hall.

"Chen Shen Hao, see Your Majesty!"

In the past, he was not qualified to be called a "minister" because his grade was too low, but now he is from the fourth rank, and he can barely be called a minister in front of the emperor. Then he knelt down on one knee according to the great gift of the old Jing Dynasty, and saw it in a dignified manner.

"Get up." Yang Shu waved his hand, asking Shen Hao to get up, but he didn't give him a seat.

Shen Hao stood obediently five feet away from Yang Shuzu, with his head down and his hands tied.

After a long silence, Yang Shu opened his mouth and said, "Do you still remember the first time I saw you, you were just a mere hundred households? Now you are all under the command of the Black Flag Camp of the fourth rank, but the world is always changing!"

"What your majesty said is very true. It is a great honor for me to have had a drink with your majesty." Shen Hao saw that the other party recalled the past, so he naturally followed suit. Didn't the first time he and Yang Shu met start with wine? Well.

Yang Shu was taken aback when he heard the words. He wanted to say something to warm up the scene, and he didn't want Shen Hao to be as nervous as he is now. After all, he called Shen Hao to come to explain something important, and he didn't want Shen Hao to miss anything because of nervousness. But since Shen Hao mentioned wine, he also smiled and said: "Yes, I met you by chance because of wine, but now you still have wine with you?"
