Chapter 35: Receiving the Divine Decree
86_86881 Out of the palace gate, Zhao Gen was already waiting outside the palace gate in a carriage, and he walked to the carriage tremblingly.
Zhao Gen saw that his prince came out alone, so he guessed a few points, he knew the prince's temperament, and now he saw that he had a bad complexion, although he had the heart to explain, but he didn't know how to persuade him, he only called the prince, and he didn't dare to speak again.
Zhao Zishen bowed his head slightly, and after getting into the carriage with some weakness, he signaled Zhao Gen to hurry back to Jiahe County.
It's evening at this hour, if you want to rush back to Jiahe County, you must go at night, the road is not good and it is very dangerous, Zhao Gen thought silently in his heart, and then thought that the prince must want to go back to discuss countermeasures with his wife earlier, and couldn't help but be anxious, let the prince stay here for a night It is estimated that he will not be willing, fortunately, he has some fists and feet, and he has also walked at night in the past, so there should be no problem.
Thinking of this, he asked Zhao Zishen to lie down in the car for a while, and he drove the car quickly to Jiahe County.
After a sleepless night, before dawn in the early morning of the second day, Zhao Gencai drove the carriage back to Jiahe County.
Both of them had bloodshot eyes, and after entering the backyard, Zhao Zishen asked Zhao Gen to go to rest quickly, and he went back to the house.
In the house, Mrs. Zhao heard the sound, and was about to go out when she put on her coat, when she heard a knock on the door, and Zhao Zishen had already entered.
She hurriedly stepped forward, and when she saw Zhao Zishen's tired face, she asked eagerly, "Why is the master in such a hurry to come back?" Did Bo Yi also return? ”
Zhao Zishen listened to his wife's question, only closed his eyes, and shook his head weakly.
When Mrs. Zhao saw him like this, there was a muffled sound in her head, she grabbed Zhao Zishen's sleeves with both hands, stared at her eyes, and asked slowly, "My son Boyi...... By...... Checked? ”
Zhao Zishen opened his eyes, looked straight at his wife, and nodded weakly again.
"No.................." Mrs. Zhao opened her eyes, pulled Zhao Zishen's sleeves and shook her head, and cried in her mouth: "...... He's still so young...... Master............ You bring me back............ Our family doesn't want that monstrous wealth............ I just want my Boyi ............"
Zhao Zishen felt guilty, seeing his wife splashing without image for the first time, he didn't know how to answer, his heart was very sore, and he stretched out his hand and tightly circled her into his arms.
Mrs. Zhao stopped shouting, only clinging to Zhao Zishen's shoulder and kept crying.
The two hugged tightly for a while, Mrs. Zhao's crying became smaller and smaller, and she was more sober, this matter was not a decision that her lord could make lightly, and it could only be said that Boyi's life should be like this, her lord thought of many ways, but he still came to this point, now that it has become a fact, he has to think about it, and he has to learn from those who want his son to become a dragon, and see it as a happy event
It's just that the old man doesn't want Bo Yi to enter the palace, and now that it's like this, she is a little afraid that he won't be able to bear it in his heart
Thinking of this, she quickly stopped crying, broke free from his arms, and shouted, "Master"
Zhao Zishen saw that she finally stopped crying, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and heard her calling herself eagerly, I don't know what is going on? Could it be that Mrs. Cheng has a way to take Boyi back? Thinking of this, he also looked at his wife eagerly, and asked, "Madame, has a way?" ”
Seeing the old man staring at him with an eager gaze, Mrs. Zhao had to choke on the words that came to her mouth, and half-loudly, she shook her head with teary eyes and said, "The master can't change this matter."
Seeing that Zhao Zishen listened to her words, his eyes that had just had some brilliance dimmed again, and his heart couldn't help but ache, but he had to tell the truth to make him die, so he only held back his tears and said: "Master, we have no skills to return to heaven in this matter, unless the emperor can change his mind, but the king has no jokes, the master can only think of us."
After speaking, he hugged Zhao Zishen and cried.
The hope that Zhao Zishen had just picked up was shattered again, and he knew that she was telling the truth, so he also hugged her tightly in his arms again.
The two hugged each other for a while and comforted each other for a while, so they didn't eat for most of the day, and they didn't rest, during which someone came to knock on the door, neither of them said anything, or Zhao Gen came, kept shouting, Zhao Zishen replied in a dumb voice, let them not worry.
Mrs. Zhao came back to her senses at this time, her master rushed back overnight, she didn't take a break, and she was hungry for another day, how can her body survive like this? hurriedly told Zhao Gen not to leave and to bring the food in.
The meal has been hot in the pot for the two of them, Zhao Gen went to pass the word, and put it on the table in three or two, Mrs. Zhao scooped the rice, persuaded Zhao Zishen to eat a little, and swallowed some of it, and after eating, he asked people to call hot water, and freshened up for Zhao Zishen, and forcibly pressed him to the bed to let him rest, he was also extremely tired, and he also went to bed and lay on his side.
The two lay on the bed and talked for a while, and Mrs. Zhao forced Zhao Zi to fall asleep.
For a few days in a row, the atmosphere at home was a little gloomy, but fortunately, the two supported each other and comforted each other, and gradually they wanted to open up a little, trying to be happy to see it happen like everyone else, although they can't become family members in the future, but there is still a chance to see each other again, and it is possible to sit on the position above the 10,000 people in the future and become a person who leans towards the government and the opposition, this life is not something that ordinary people have, and then sad is not to add bad luck to him?
Thinking of this, the two of them were no longer as painful as before, but began to think that even if they didn't plan for him, they had to not let him worry about it in that deep palace, right?
Both of them forcibly suppressed the discomfort in their hearts, pretending that Bo Yi had just not returned home yet, and resumed their daily lives.
More than half a month passed in a flash, and on this day, as soon as Zhao Zishen returned to the backyard from the yamen to change into civilian clothes, he heard the sudden boiling of people in front of the yamen, and there seemed to be a faint sound of congratulations.
He was a little curious, when he saw the officials in the yamen walking in with a eunuch in his arms, followed by palace guards carrying two wooden boxes, and everyone shouted in unison to congratulate him when they saw him. The eunuch also walked in front of him with a smile, arched his hand to Zhao Zishen, and arched in the direction of Lin'an, and said in a thin voice: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, and the miscellaneous family came to read the holy decree on the order of the emperor, and sent the reward of the emperor's personal seal to the prince."
After speaking, he signaled the guards to lift the wooden box up and put it in front of Zhao Zishen, Zhao Zishen saw that he had a number in his heart, and he also smiled and said: "I'm tired of my father-in-law, I've traveled a long way, Zhao really can't go, if my father-in-law doesn't dislike it, please drink a cup of thin tea inside, and then rest and then say" Then he made a gesture of please, and let his father-in-law go into the house.
The father-in-law thought that the prince was in the limelight at this time, and there was no harm in the group, so he also smiled and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be" and entered the hall with Zhao Zishen.
Mrs. Zhao, Zhang, had already heard the noise, and after listening to their conversation, she asked people to quickly make tea and send it away, and asked Zhao Gen to also go and greet those guards to drink tea and rest.
In the hall, Zhao Zishen sat on the main seat, his father-in-law sat down on his hand, picked up the tea on the table, and his father-in-law said with a smile: "The miscellaneous family surname Li is a little housekeeper in front of the emperor, and the prince can be called the miscellaneous little plum."
"How can you do things in front of the emperor, how can you call it casually, that's not brushing the emperor's face, Gonggong Li is too modest," Zhao Zishen also picked up the teacup, floated the tea leaves on it with the lid of the bowl, and said with a smile.
"Hehe, no matter how powerful the miscellaneous family is, he is still a minion, and he still has to run errands for the prince, isn't it," Gonggong Li also licked his face and smiled.
"My father-in-law's words are wrong, who in this world is not running errands for the emperor, but the position is different, why should my father-in-law laugh at himself"
The two finished drinking tea while talking, and Gonggong Li asked Zhao Zishen to sort it out first, call out all the family members, and read the holy decree himself. Zhao Zishen had just arrived in Jiahe County to take office, and only his wife Zhang was with him, so he changed into court clothes with her, rushed to kneel on the mattress that had been laid out in the courtyard, and listened to the will.
Gonggong Li asked the guards to dismiss the crowd, and then took out the pattern for the auspicious clouds and cranes, the silk brocade fabric made of good silk, and the holy decree of the black horn shaft, and after opening it, he cleared his throat and sang: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor called and said, Zhao Zishen of Jiahe Zhixian County, for the official integrity, outstanding political achievements, specially awarded the direct secret pavilion, with the Beijing Dynasty official as the officer, in charge of the affairs of the secret pavilion, give five clothes, reward 1,000 taels of silver, in order to show the emperor's grace, admiration." ”
Zhao Zishen knelt on the mattress and listened to the stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but be a little happy, did the emperor mean to let him enter the court as an official and stay in Lin'an? Doesn't that mean that you will still be able to see Boyi in the future?
It had been a while since Gonggong Li finished reading the holy decree, but Prince Xiu was still kneeling on the ground, wondering in his heart, could it be that he was stunned by joy? Mrs. Zhao saw that her master had not yet gotten up to receive the order, so she knew that he must not have come back to her senses, so she stretched out her hand and pulled his sleeve, and when she saw him turn to look at her, she said to him Nunu and motioned him to look at Gonggong Li.
Zhao Zishen reacted at this time, and hurriedly shouted: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live the emperor, long live, long live" lowered his head and stepped forward to receive the holy decree in the hands of Gonggong Li
