Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Yan came to Qingzhou.

Li Yan's pomp this time was much bigger, he was no longer alone, he was followed by two teams of guards and left and right attendants, and a group of people were dressed in brocade and jade belts, wearing gold ropes and white jade high and low hats, quite angelic and majestic.

"Father-in-law Li, it's been hard all the way, hurry up and please!" Wu Zhi greeted politely at the door.

As soon as the messenger of heaven came, he had his own disciple to report to him.

"Hehe, don't come to the martial arts officials?"

Li Yan got off the horse, straightened his clothes, and greeted Wu Zhi with a smile and a fist.

"It's okay, but Grandpa Li hasn't seen him for many days, and he's a little more noble!"

"Haha! The big officials have won awards, and the old slaves wait for the officials' families all day long, but they will be tainted with some luxury! ”

"That's that......"

Wu Zhi and Li Yan walked towards the living room while being polite, and when they arrived at the living room, Li Yan's entourage was guarding the door, Wu Zhi and Li Yan sat on both sides of the main seat, and their own maids served hot tea.

"Grandpa Li, please."

After greeting Li Yan with tea, Wu Zhi leisurely picked up the teacup, took a sip, and moistened his throat.

Li Yan smiled and took a sip of the teacup.

"Wu Daguan, do you know what I am doing this time?" Li Yan asked deliberately.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "It must have come at the emperor's behest." ”

"Do you know what kind of imperial order I bear?" Li Yan asked.

Wu Zhi secretly arranged Li Yan's sentence in his heart, isn't this asking knowingly, you have the emperor's order, and you don't go straight to my mansion when you go to Qingzhou, you must still invite yourself to go to Bianjing.

"Father-in-law Li has never shown me the holy decree, how do I know what imperial order my father-in-law bears?"

As he spoke, Wu Zhi picked up the teacup and took a leisurely sip of tea.

Li Yan wanted to beat around the bush, and Wu Zhi naturally wanted to go around with him.

"Hahaha......"

A burst of soft laughter sounded, and Wu Zhi raised his eyes to see Li Yan squinting his small eyes and covering his mouth with his hands and smiling very weirdly.

Wu Zhi remained silent, he felt that this smile was weird because Li Yan's action of covering his mouth with his hand was too girly.

Now it's up to him to say it.

"Wu Daguan, you will go around with our family!"

As he spoke, Li Yan hooked his hand, and someone brought a brocade box with yellow patterns on a red background, Li Yan took the brocade box, waved his subordinates away, and put the brocade box on the coffee table.

"Presumably, the big officials also know the purpose of our family's visit this time, so I told the big officials directly, the content of the holy decree is still the same as last time, not a word has changed, or you will be named the art of the Hanlin Painting Academy, and you will be given the same Jinshi background." After a pause, Li Yan looked at Wu Zhi meaningfully and said, "The only change is that this time it is our family who has come to announce the decree in person." ”

Listening to Li Yan's words, Wu Zhi chuckled in his heart, the content of the holy decree has not changed? Haven't you been tossing for so long?

Moreover, the official family did not change the holy decree, which means that they are dissatisfied with their previous excessive refusal, and sending Li Yan to announce the holy decree is not to discuss, but to exert pressure!

The expression on his face was still calm and calm, Wu Zhi looked at Li Yan with a smile, and said, "It's an honor to be able to bother Gonggong Li to come to announce his will in person." ”

Since Li Yan didn't ask clearly, Wu Zhi didn't say anything first, just continue to play Tai Chi.

Li Yan also smiled, he squinted his eyes and asked Wu Zhi, "So will the big officials accept the order this time, or will they not accept the order?" ”

As he spoke, Li Yan pushed the brocade box down to Wu Zhi's side, and his pair of very delicate old hands were still pressing the brocade box.

Wu Zhi paused for a moment, his eyes faintly glancing at the brocade box containing the holy decree.

If you don't accept the order, it is tantamount to offending Li Yan, although Wu Zhi is not afraid of him, but now that he offends him, he goes back to Beijing and says some bad things to the emperor's father-in-law, then Wu Zhi's whole thing will be in vain.

"What if I don't take it?" Wu Zhi suddenly asked, "Since the content here is the same as last time, I resigned last time, so why should I take it this time?" ”

Let's try it first.

"What the big official means......" Li Yan showed a deceitful smile and said, "If there is a favor in this will, will you accept the order, right?" ”

Wu Zhi looked at Li Yan's treacherous old face and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.

Damn, fooled!

This old fox actually used words to set up a trick for Wu Zhi...... After all, Wu Zhi is still young, although he is calm and cunning, but the experience of various black people is still not as sophisticated as Li Yan, who has been in the palace for most of his life.

"Father-in-law Li is really sophisticated, and I am ashamed."

The real purpose was seen through by Li Yan, and Wu Zhi simply didn't pretend to be high, and directly patted the wooden box and asked, "What conditions did the Holy Decree official add to me this time?" If the conditions are tempting enough, I may be able to accept them. ”

Just now, Li Yan said that the holy decree has not changed, but it is just a matter of Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi has already understood.

"Hehe, I know that the martial arts officials will never let go of the glory and wealth, the reason why you don't want it is because your appetite is too big!"

Some people of the same kind commented on Wu Zhi, and Li Yancai replied: "This time, the official family has promoted you to the position of the head of the Hanlin Painting Academy, this is the official of the fifth grade, and your general Wu Song worked hard to get promoted to the official position of the fifth grade?" ”

Wu Zhi smiled bitterly, indeed, Wu Song's military exploits in the bloody battle on the battlefield were not as fast as his opportunistic tricks to shoot the emperor's ass ascension, this kind of example was not uncommon during the reign of the current dynasty officials, which was the sorrow of the Great Song Dynasty.

The officials of the Liechao are the officials who can participate in the court, which is already considered a high-level Beijing official, and most of the Beijing officials are not qualified to go to the court. However, Wu Zhi estimated that even if he was in the court, he was listed at the outermost and the end.

"Is that all?"

Wu Zhi's question made Li Yan's expression stiffen.

Co-author Wu Zhi is still not satisfied?

Li Yan suddenly changed his slightly embarrassed eyes to look at Wu Zhi, and while he took the brocade box containing the holy decree back to his side, he said in a deep voice: "That's all, if the big officials are not satisfied, then the old slave has to go back to Beijing to resume his life!" ”

Although his voice was low, in fact, Li Yan still admired Wu Zhi very much in his heart, he couldn't imagine that Wu Zhi was so greedy, he was more insatiable than him!

Bosom friend!

"Hehe, don't be angry! Wu Zhi is not ignorant of promotion, but there is a small request, if the official agrees, even if it is not for my hospital to be legitimate, I will go to Bianjing according to the order. Seeing that the time had come, Wu Zhi immediately softened his tone.

"The little eunuch who came before, I really can't let him pass the word!"

"Don't be in a hurry!"

Wu Zhi was about to speak, Li Yan suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Wu Zhi, and then he took out a small box from his cuff and said to Wu Zhi: "This is the order of Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess before I left Beijing to hand over the old slave to the big official, and the big official might as well read this and make a request." ”

As he spoke, Li Yan cautiously handed the box to Wu Zhi.

Hearing that it was a gift from Ling'er, Wu Zhi was overjoyed and immediately took the box and opened it.

In the box is a golden hairpin, carved phoenix wings, yellow, orange and orange shining with golden light, at a glance you know that it is extremely precious, but the hairpin body of the golden hairpin has been bent several times, look at the hideous hairpin body to know that the person who folded the golden hairpin used full strength, and it was done in one go!

After being stunned for a moment, Wu Zhi immediately smiled bitterly again.

Ling'er's meaning of sending this golden hairpin couldn't be more obvious, threat, naked, naked threat! I think it was because she couldn't think about it for a while after hearing that Wu Zhi had rejected the holy decree four times in Bianjing.

Li Yan looked at Wu Zhi's expression, and smiled secretly in his heart, at the beginning, Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess pulled the golden hairpin from her head in front of him and twisted it, and he also understood the meaning of the reminder, and now she took it out to Wu Zhi to prevent Wu Zhi from not knowing what to do, and what kind of lion opened his mouth, which ruined this matter and disappointed Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Wu Zhi carefully put the golden hairpin back into the box, put it in the cuff, and then said with a smile: "Father-in-law Li, don't worry, my request is not too much, I just hope that the emperor can give me a handwritten plaque from Qingzhou College." ”

"Just this?" Li Yan was puzzled: "It turns out that you have been refusing to accept the order just for this?" ”

"Well, that's what it's for." Wu Zhi nodded seriously and said: "I can't go up to heaven to listen to the heavens in my humble status, and I can only bother Gonggong Li to run again, so I still can't accept the holy decree this time." ”

After a slight sigh, Li Yan nodded and said, "It's hard for the big officials to have good intentions." Good! Then our family will go back to ask for a decree for the officials, the officials have always been stingy with pen and ink, and they will definitely be happy to inscribe for you! ”

"That's it, thank you!"

Wu Zhi thanked him.
