Volume 1 Chapter 410 The Emperor's Order
Only princes like Fu Moyu can be treated as an envoy sent by the emperor to explain some of the things in detail, as for Liu Zhezheng, he is not qualified, and a holy decree tells him what to do.
When the holy decree arrived at Liu Zhezheng's mansion, it was already the time of the palm lamp, the lights in Liu's mansion were bright, the beautiful maids were holding wine and food, the hall was lively and lively, obviously a banquet was being held, although there was no earth dragon, but there were huge braziers in the middle of the hall and in the four corners, and thick cotton curtains were hung on the door, and a trace of wind could not penetrate it, but it was also warm.
Silver frost charcoal is smokeless, so there is no need to worry about the problem of suffocation caused by not ventilating.
The sound of silk and bamboo is pleasant, and the posture of the dancing girl is graceful, not like the bleak season in the middle of winter, but it has a bit of spring warmth.
It can be described as wine-colored wealth, drunk and dreaming of death.
It wasn't until he heard the sound of shouting "The Holy Decree has arrived" in a long voice that Liu Zhezheng hurriedly ordered people to remove the wine and food, and put out an incense case to receive the order.
The hall was filled with the smell of wine, mixed with the fragrance of vegetables and the incense on the guests' clothes, the people in it couldn't smell it, but the outsiders only felt greasy, and the messenger frowned and shrunk his nose, almost wanting to hold his breath, and secretly scolded Liu Zhezheng in his heart for being ridiculous, and several guests were disheveled, and at first glance they were fooling around with the dancers.
Liu Zhezheng made a look, the housekeeper understood, and withdrew to prepare a few red envelopes, all of which were stuffed into large silver tickets, the amount was so large that the little girl looked a little painful, "Isn't it just a herald, you can send so much money?" ”
The butler rolled his eyes, "What do you know, the more this kind of person, the more you have to serve well." ”
Because this little guy is very stubborn to him on weekdays, the housekeeper has to mention a few words, "Do you think this messenger is here to deliver the message?" Fart! That's the emperor's eyes and ears, if these eyes and ears don't serve well, turn around and give our lord some eye medicine in front of the emperor, can our lord stand it? Our lord can't stand it, can our people have a good life? ”
The little guy didn't seem to understand, the housekeeper didn't bother to pay attention to it, and went back with the red envelope, at this time the hall had finished announcing the holy decree, Liu Zhezheng stood up, and was greeting Qincha.
The housekeeper stepped forward and stuffed the thickest red seal into Liu Zhezheng's hand without a trace, Liu Zhezheng accepted it quietly, and continued to talk to Qin Cha, "It's cold this time, and there is nothing to do at night, so I called a few people to eat and watch a song and dance together, don't be surprised." ”
Qin Cha said with a smile: "Strange people say that the emperor is far away, and being an official outside is more comfortable than in Beijing, okay, you have always heard the will of the saint, and our family will leave." ”
Liu Zhe was busy saying: "Foreign ministers can't make friends with internal officials, this is the rule, otherwise the lower officials will definitely invite you to live in the mansion, the conditions of the post house are simple, and the service is not careful enough, I really wronged you." ”
Although Qin Cha is a eunuch, as long as he goes out of the palace to do business, he is generally called an adult outside.
Qin Cha waved his hand, "Lord Liu's words are bad, for the emperor to do things, where can you pay attention to these, we, we are all loyal, don't you say?" ”
Liu Zhezheng hurriedly made a respectful look, "Yes, in the end, it is the lord next to the emperor, and the lower officials have been taught." ”
After shaking hands with Qin Cha, the red seal fell into the big sleeves of Qin Cha's wide robe, Qin Cha didn't move his eyebrows, and smiled slightly, "Lord Liu, please stay, our family is leaving, it's freezing this day, you don't have to send it far." "Hundred Flowers Literature
"Yes, in front of the emperor, please be kind to your lordship."
"Don't worry, Lord Liu, our family can save it." Qin Cha entered the sedan chair and lowered the sedan curtain, felt the sedan chair man lift up and began to walk, only then took out the red seal from his sleeve, opened the seal and took out the silver ticket, and immediately smiled.
The errand that came to Cangwu County was a good errand, Liu Zhezheng was generous and really worthy of his reputation, and his shot was three thousand taels, catching up with his decades of wealth.
Back at the post house, the two little eunuchs and the four guards who came with him also had unconcealed smiles on their faces, and they all looked happy, and they seemed to have gained a lot.
It is impossible for Liu Zhezheng to give gifts to Qin Cha alone, and Qin Cha's entourage is naturally indispensable, but only Qin Cha's red envelope was given by Liu Zhezheng himself, and the others were given by the housekeeper, each of whom was five hundred taels.
A small eunuch is only one tael of silver per month, and the guards are higher, but only three taels or five hundred taels of silver tickets, which is enough for these people to work for half a lifetime.
"Master, you said that this Liu Junshou is so generous, how much money does he have in his hand?" The little eunuch asked Qincha.
Qin Cha smiled smugly, "It doesn't matter how much money he has, you only remember one thing, what is given to us is ours, and we have the life to spend it, and the rest depends on it in the tens of thousands, we don't have that life, we don't think about it." ”
The little eunuch nodded hurriedly, "What the master taught me." ”
For a while, he smacked his lips and said: "He sent so much money, did he let the master praise him more in front of the emperor, didn't he still say it when we left, let your old man say a lot of good words in front of the emperor." ”
Qin Cha pointed at the little eunuch and laughed, "Little monkey cub, there are still many places to learn, Liu Junshou gave us so much money, but it is not for us to praise him for his ability, let's just report what we saw today, this errand is not risky at all." ”
The little eunuch blinked, his face seemed to understand or not, Qin Cha thought that he was his own apprentice, and when he was old, he would have to count on him to serve, so he had to mention a few more words, "Xiao Zhuo'er, Master told you that taking people's money and doing things for others is a common principle for thousands of years, and it can't be changed when you go to the edge of the sky, but what to do about this matter is everyone's ability." ”
The little eunuch was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, "Master, you teach the disciples." ”
Qin Cha smiled, "Why did the emperor send our family to deliver the decree, didn't he just let our family act as the eyes and ears to see what this Liu Junshou was doing, but you said, in his heart, does this emperor hope that Liu Junshou is too capable, or does he hope that he will be mediocre?" ”
The little eunuch thought for a while, "The apprentice doesn't understand any big truths, but I think that in the emperor's old man's heart, no one can overshadow him." ”
Qin Cha nodded, "You can see through this, there is still a huigen, the emperor is afraid of Liu Junshou in his heart, if this Liu Junshou is too capable and capable, he will be the county guard, so ah, it's better to be mediocre." ”
"What about us, we don't need to say anything else when we go back, just report what we saw today to the emperor and his old man, we don't have to bully the king, and we will help Liu Jun guard if we don't show the mountains and water."
The little eunuch nodded again and again, secretly thinking that the officialdom was deep, and he was really far behind.
