Na Changshi took the silver ticket, hurriedly stuffed it in his arms, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Young Master Ji, you can't say that. The city of Xi'an is now under martial law, and this order was jointly signed by the prefect of Xi'an and the prince of my family, and in front of the two of them, I am this ......"

As he spoke, Changshi stretched out a little finger and shook it in front of Ji Qingwen, adding, "How dare you open the door without permission?" ”

Ji Qingwen raised his eyes and asked, "Who is the current Xi'an prefect?" Go and ask him to come up. and King Qin...... King Qin, his old man, forget it, go and inform the prince of Qin, and say that I am back Ji Qingwen, and he will naturally come to me. ”

That Changshi was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Young Master Ji doesn't know yet, right?" The old Qin prince died at the end of last year, and the original prince has also succeeded the king of Qin, the one who played very well with Young Master Ji before...... As for the prefect of Xi'an...... It's not changed, it's still Chen Yingyuan, Lord Chen......"

Ji Qingwen didn't expect that he, a gentleman who didn't learn and didn't know how to do anything, went to Beijing and Suzhou for a walk, and came back to become a five-grade Suzhou weaving and minister of Qincha, and his former playmate, Zhu Cunshu, the son of King Qin, went one step further and became a vassal king whose status was second only to the emperor!

Ji Qingwen secretly sighed in his heart, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "Okay, since this Qin prince is my old friend now, then I will work hard for you to make an extra trip and invite him and the prefect Lord Chen here, and I will let them order the city to open the city and let my brother in." ”

The palace chief Shi bit his lip and said in embarrassment: "Young Master Ji, it's not that the villain looks down on people, I'm afraid these two are not what you can invite." If you're in a hurry, why don't you go to the city yourself and ask to see these two, maybe it can be faster......"

Ji Qingwen felt that he had some truth in what he said, so he agreed: "Okay, you can take care of my brothers in the city for me, and I will come when I go." ”

As he spoke, Ji Qingwen turned around and was about to walk down the city wall.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanyin stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Lord Ji, please slow down, this thing is not in place." ”

Ji Qingwen was stunned for a moment and asked, "What kind of style is not decent?" It's important to do things first. ”

Li Yuanyin didn't answer, turned his head and said to the prince of the palace: "This ...... This general, our Lord Ji is not an ordinary person, he is the emperor's messenger, and he came to help the victims by holy order. In other words, this Lord Ji is the representative of the current saint, and even the prince of Qin should come to visit, not to mention a small prefect of Xi'an. ”

Li Yuanyin, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is of course well versed in the various legal systems of the Ming Dynasty, and the set of etiquette just mentioned is naturally in line with the etiquette system.

In fact, Ji Qingwen also knew that as his minister, he could at least sit on an equal footing with the governor of Yansui, and his status was above the prefect of Xi'an, so he couldn't go down to meet the prefect; It's just that he is in a hurry to help the victims and just wants to get this matter done quickly, so he doesn't care about these red tapes.

Among the people present, the only one who didn't know Ji Qingwen's identity was the governor of the palace - in his eyes, Ji Qingwen was still the son of the Ji family in the past, and he hung him into the city with a basket, which already gave him a lot of face.

Therefore, when he heard that Ji Qingwen had now become a "minister", he was immediately shocked, and stammered: "Ji ...... Young Master Ji, this ...... You can't do this...... Just kidding......"

Li Yuanyin's words have been exported, so naturally there is no room for retraction.

So Ji Qingwen said in a mocking tone: "Who is joking with you?" I am the minister of the Qin Mission, and the seal of the defense is on me, and I also have the emperor's holy decree! ”

"Yes...... Can you give it to the villain...... Look at...... See? Wang Fu Changshi asked timidly.

Li Yuanyin shrugged his eyebrows and scolded: "What kind of official are you on a famous brand?" It's your turn to check the Qincha Customs? Why don't you run an errand! Otherwise, if you are guilty of neglect, even Prince Qin may not be able to protect you! ”

Seeing Li Yuanyin's voice, the chief of the palace Shi saw that Li Yuanyin was full of expression, and looked at the flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife on his body, he expected that he was a terrifying brocade guard, so he didn't dare to disobey at all, and agreed cleanly: "Okay, okay, the villain will go down to do things, the two of you don't have to be impatient, don't be impatient." ”

As he spoke, Na Changshi turned around and ran quickly down the city wall.

When he couldn't move, the chief of the palace climbed the city wall again, and led a large group of men and horses surrounded by two nobles behind him.

I saw that one of the two was wearing a four-grade crimson lark official uniform - it was Chen Yingyuan, the prefect of Xi'an; The other was wearing a scarlet Xiu Jinpanlong court costume - but it was Ji Qingwen's playmate back then, and now Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin.

I saw that even though Zhu Cunshu was wearing this incomparably luxurious Ming dynasty uniform, he still couldn't hide his frivolous temperament, and when he saw Ji Qingwen coming, he immediately stepped forward quickly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Which minister should I be, it's actually you kid." You went to Beijing to take the exam the year before last, and there was no one in the list of Jinshi who spread all over the world, how did you become a celebrity around the emperor? I don't know whose way I went. ”

Ji Qingwen listened to his words cordially, so he also replied with a smile: "Lord Shizi...... Oh, no, the prince said these words. Who in this world can still walk through the emperor's door, I am just a coincidence, a momentary fluke, and by the way, I entrusted the blessing of the prince. ”

Zhu Cunshu said: "How can there be so many coincidences. Look at me, I was born as the prince of Qin, and after the old man is gone, I will become the prince of Qin, a destined thing. I think it's the same with you, kid, otherwise there are so many people in the world who don't learn and don't know how to do it, why would it be your turn to be the minister of this imperial mission......"

Zhu Cunshu took a bite to say "Minister of the Imperial Mission", which caused the prefect Chen Yingyuan, who had been silent for a long time, to become vigilant, and suddenly said: "Ji ...... My lord. You said that you are a minister, I wonder if there is a seal or the emperor's holy will? It's okay, please come out and let the lower officials pay their respects. ”

Ji Qingwen knew that Chen Yingyuan, the prefect of Xi'an, was an extremely cautious person--it is already very rare for an official to have such a quality nowadays-so he didn't embarrass him, took out the two-inch square official seal of his "Suzhou Weaving Admiral" from his chest, and took out the emperor's holy decree wrapped in yellow silk, and held it in both hands and sent it to Chen Yingyuan.

Chen Yingyuan took the thing, first turned over the official seal and looked at it - he couldn't see any flaws - it seemed to be true.

He untied the yellow silk wrapped in the holy decree, and saw that there was a document written on yellow sealed paper, which began with four words: "The emperor said."

Chen Yingyuan was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, holding the holy decree with both hands that was only one or two hundred words, and read it several times, making sure that he had not missed any important content, so he wrapped the holy decree again, and returned it to Ji Qingwen along with the "Weaving Admiral" seal.

Seeing that he looked sincerely frightened, Ji Qingwen deliberately teased him and said, "Lord Chen, you can see this holy decree clearly, don't be overbearing!" ”

Chen Yingyuan was even more frightened and said, "Don't dare...... Can't...... But the word of this decree ......"

"What's wrong with the words on it? Is it written wrong? Ji Qingwen asked.

"It's not...... It's not ......," Chen Yingyuan said, "The holy decree has always been transcribed and issued by the Shu Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, and the words can't be said to be bad, that is, they are too dry and too thin, and they have a Hanlin atmosphere." But these few words ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yuanyin immediately said, "Lord Chen, be careful." This is the emperor's own handwriting, how can you judge it easily? ”

Chen Yingyuan was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly closed his mouth, and finally stabilized his mind, but turned his head and asked Li Yuanyin: "I don't know the pedigree of this Lord Jinyiwei......

Li Yuanyin was also humble, and arched his hand: "Li Yuanyin, who commanded the affairs of the Jinyi Guard, is to accompany Lord Ji to come over to do things......

Jin Yiwei - and a high-ranking official like the commander - accompanied the errands, that was how much the emperor trusted Ji Qingwen.

Chen Yingyuan is not a stupid person, but a thoughtful old bureaucrat, who has long considered the stakes clearly, and Ji Qingwen said more and more respectfully: "When the lower officials saw that the emperor's will was to let Lord Ji handle disaster relief matters independently, then the lower officials naturally did not dare to slack off. I don't know what the rules of Master Ji are, and the lower officials should be careful and try their best to cooperate. ”

Ji Qingwen nodded and said, "That's good." This time, the official brought 50,000 taels of silver from Suzhou for disaster relief, and it was all cash. These silvers are escorted by the regiment led by me, and they are now under the city, and it happens that the prince of Qin and the prefect are there, so I will order the city gate to be opened, and escort the silver into the city, and we will consider it in the long run. ”
