Chapter 307: Qilin Suit and Heavenly Son Sword

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: The husband is talking about the state and is taking talents; The merit of Anguo is dedicated to long-term policy. The former acting governor of Qingzhou Prefecture is Zhang Yue, diligent, honest and chaste, duansu and friendly, humble and simple, and has not yet been rewarded with hundreds of soldiers. Today, he is specially awarded the five products to be a doctor, inspect the Jingshi summer grain warehouse, play corruption and lawlessness to hear, and give a big red silk robe and a sword! ”

Since Shen Du and Shen Can's brothers were edicted to enter the court as officials, almost all the holy decrees were written by two people, and today's holy decree is exactly Shen Can's drafting of Shen Du's pen, and the big and small Shen bachelors are all used. The meaning of this holy decree has naturally been described extremely clearly, but in Zhang Yue's ears, he felt incredible, and even when he kowtowed to thank him, he was a little ignorant.

It's just a doctor, but it's a little strange to give the sword of the official uniform, not to mention the inspection of Nanjing's summer grain into the warehouse, and the corruption and perversion of the law to hear...... He is not a royal history, and he is not a brocade guard, what kind of authority is this? And his official dispatch, which was not mentioned in this edict at all, so what was the matter with the cabinet watching an extremely unreasonable edict being issued?

Zhang Yue was ignorant, but Lu Feng was not ignorant, and when he saw Zhang Yue kowtowing and thanking him, he closed the holy decree that was like a book from heaven to him, and solemnly handed over the holy decree with both hands. When Zhang Yue respectfully accepted it and stood up again, he pouted, and Cheng Jiu next to him immediately handed over the neatly stacked red silk robe and the sword to an attendant behind Zhang Yue.

After this official trip was completed, Zhang Yue opened his mouth to leave him with tea in Ruiqingtang, and he agreed with his mouth. When he got to the ground and sat down, he waved his hand and retreated Cheng Jiu and the two little eunuchs, and when he saw that Zhang Yue had sent away the little maid who was waiting, he couldn't help but smile.

"The sword is given to heroes, the emperor gave the sword in the past, it has always been given to military ministers, and it has never been given to civil officials, Lord Xiao Zhang, you are the first one in the world. This sword is not an ordinary sword, it was once worn by the emperor himself, and he has killed people and seen blood, so naturally it is not for you to offer at home, but for you to take away the sword of the Son of Heaven. The holy decree just now is the clear decree of the cabinet and the six clear paths, and we have a secret decree here, which is also for you. ”

Seeing Lu Feng take out a clip-like thing from his sleeve, Zhang Yue suddenly realized that he had to toss again. After listening to the reading again, he only felt that his heart was beating wildly, even if he held the fluttering piece of paper in his hand, it still felt a little unreal. It wasn't until Lu Feng carefully explained to him that he really understood what the emperor meant.

originally thought that Zhu Di was going to send him out of Beijing to avoid trouble on the cusp of this storm, but he didn't want the emperor to have made a decision and prepared to start the trial of the sea ban from Mingzhou City. With this secret decree and the sword he had just given, he was actually the admiral eunuch who could control the Ming City Bosi and access all the archives and account books. Naturally, this power is by no means unrestrained, because the one who is about to accompany him is Lu Feng, who is about to be promoted to the eunuch of the East Factory, in other words, this Future Factory Guild supervises himself all the way.

This is really Zhu Di's means of using people, supervising one by one, and the end is that people have no chance to have different hearts.

Since he got the news that he was going to go to Jiangnan, Lu Feng was so happy in his heart. At the beginning, he promised those few families in Qingzhou, and he just moved his mouth to do it, and the gold and silver treasures were collected with peace of mind, but now he is going to the richer Jiangnan, and he still has to make a lot of money? Zhang Yue didn't care about his business at all last time, and this time it must be even more so.

"Xiao Zhang, don't worry, our family only has eyes in Jiangnan this time, and will never talk too much, even if you make a decision in everything, if anyone dares to stand up, our family will naturally press it down for you!"

Xu thought of the oppression he had received back then, and the smile on Lu Feng's face became a little gloomy and compassionate, and his voice became thinner and sharper: "Don't underestimate Mingzhou City, the admiral eunuch there is Wang Darong, the former confidant of Huang Gonggong, the master of ceremonies, and there must be a lot of silver dedicated to Lao Huang every year, let alone what he has done in private." Fortunately, no one knew that you were going for him, so let's go to Nanjing to pay homage to the crown prince and grandson, and then slowly clean him up! ”

In order to concoct those articles, as early as when preparing for the marriage, Zhang Yue consulted countless classics, and even consulted Du Zhen about many systems of the dynasty. Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, the three major cities of the Bo Division were all closed in the Hongwu period, and they were reopened during the Yongle period, and Zhu Di sent eunuchs one by one, and the so-called City Bo Si was just a puppet. Therefore, seeing Lu Feng's face of personal vendetta at this time, he didn't care.

Horizontal and vertical is dog-eat-dog, what's so strange?

In the face of Zhang Yue's bright attitude, Lu Feng was extremely happy, and at this time, his eyes rolled and he decided to say something away: "Lord Xiao Zhang, there is something we have to tell you, lest you become a fool." The reason why your suggestions have spread so much is because of Huang Yan's old goods. When our family sent things to Renshou Palace, he intercepted and looked at a few photos, the old goods have been in the palace for a long time, and they may not be as illiterate as our family, so they should see what kind of fame they have from it. For this matter, the emperor was angry with the little eunuchs who were waiting in Renshou Palace, and the big board killed seven or eight of them, and they were just scapegoats! ”

Although Zhang Yue had gotten the exact news earlier, he immediately showed a surprised expression at this time. Pretending to be impatient to ask for the details, he cursed angrily, and then expressed his heart. When he sent the satisfied Lu Feng out of the door, he let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and walked inside.

At this moment, the incense case in the courtyard has been removed, but the people who come and go still remember the grand occasion just now, and their eyes looking at Zhang Yue are naturally full of awe. Zhang Yue, who was preoccupied, didn't care about these hot eyes, just walked with his head down, and went straight to Gu's north courtyard without squinting. Before entering the courtyard gate, a few little girls who were still in the main corner surrounded them, congratulating and saying goodbye, and finally Bai Fang came out of the curtain and drank.

"The old lady is still waiting for the third young master to come in and reply, don't just care about congratulating for a reward!"

With such a sentence, a group of little girls stuck out their tongues and scattered. Zhang Yue didn't bother with a group of twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, so he crossed the threshold from Bai Fang and entered the house. Scanning it, he found that the room was not overcrowded as he expected. Gu Shi sat at the east end with a smile, Du Xuan, who was wearing a jade-colored crepe placket and a silver-red armor, was standing next to him and saying something, and only Bai Fang who followed behind.

"Our Son of Heaven is back!"

Gu Shi joked with a smile, and when he saw Zhang Yue stepping forward to salute, he immediately bent down and pulled him up, "As soon as this will comes today, I don't know how many people's hearts have been reassured. You have kept that father-in-law Lu for so long, there must be other orders, those are all national affairs, and I don't want to ask too much.

I would like to tell you only that since this is a very unprecedented grace, you must be careful. As for whomever you want, and who asks for as much as you want, the money that is needed is paid to the account. I don't know how long it will take you to go to Jiangnan this time, I mean, Juan'er, the new daughter-in-law, has never seen her father-in-law, so you simply took her to Nanjing with you, what do you think? ”

Hearing Gu's words, Du Juan couldn't help but raise his head, but he happened to meet Zhang Yue's gaze. Seeing him smiling at herself, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she dissuaded: "Old lady, this time the emperor sent him to Jiangnan, what if I follow?" Why don't I pick a few proper people to go to Nanjing first, so that it is not conspicuous and fulfills my filial piety. ”

"Didn't I think you newlyweds couldn't be separated?" His mouth was teased, but the tentative Gu was satisfied, so he said to Zhang Yue, "Your daughter-in-law is filial and careful, and she is full of thoughts about you, and I don't know how many lifetimes you have cultivated." She had been called like a scribe by you for the past few days, and her wrists were swollen, and she had never snorted in front of me. You also have half of the credit for your promotion this time, and I have to thank you for this good wife. ”

Zhang Yue responded with a smile, and when he returned to his room from the north courtyard, he stepped forward to sit on the warm kang and curiously shook off the brilliant red robe. Recognising the pattern embroidered on it, he couldn't help but gasp. And Du Xuan, who was sitting opposite, also saw it clearly at this time, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Only officials above the fourth grade can wear red, is the emperor's reward too conspicuous? Besides, how could a good man suddenly give you a sword? ”

At this time, Qiu Zhen happened to come out of the inner room, and when he heard this, he immediately asked curiously: "Young grandmother, this dress is very valuable?" The slave maid remembered that the eldest young master had a big victory in the school competition before, and the emperor also rewarded the eldest young master, is it strange to reward our young master? ”

Seeing Zhang Yue's thoughtful expression, Du Juan explained to Qiu Zhen: "This is not an ordinary official robe, but a unicorn suit that can only be worn by the princess and uncle. I'm going to make a custom thing, and if I wear the wrong clothes, it's a great sin. In addition to the princes and uncles, this dress was occasionally given to military attachés, but the emperor was mostly given to the lieutenant officials who were specially recruited and guarded. As for the others......"

Putting down the robe casually, Zhang Yue said with a wry smile: "If I'm not mistaken, I'm the first." ”

Qiu Zhen seemed to understand whether he understood or not, only the three words "first" were understood, and he was suddenly surprised and delighted: "In this way, isn't the young master very remarkable, and you have it if others don't have it?" On weekdays, the second wife often nagged about what decency and honor, this is a great decency and honor, and everyone will stare at it when she wears it. ”

At this moment, the spirit rhino and amber who heard the movement and followed out couldn't help but be angry and funny, and the two hurriedly dragged the autumn mark back, and after a while, there were words such as "Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind" and so on, and Zhang Yue and Du Juan were relatively unrestrained. After the couple talked, Zhang Yue turned to the sword that was not inlaid with gold and jade and other superfluous accessories, and suddenly felt a little familiar, so he simply grabbed it and pulled it out.

Even though it was broad daylight, the room was still a little dim with the oil lamps, so the sparkling light was extremely dazzling. Although he didn't cut anything with the imperial sword, just looking at the extremely thin blade and cold light, as well as some small notches on the blade, Zhang Yue was enough to conclude that what Lu Feng said was most likely true. And at this time, he finally remembered where that strange resemblance came from.
