Chapter 119: Decree
This day was the day when Yang Wenzhong went to the northwest, and Lin Yi gathered Wang Yu and Yang Jingwen and a group of Taixue friends, and sent him all the way to the Shili Long Pavilion before turning back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ As soon as Info entered the door, he saw Archie hurriedly coming forward, and said anxiously, "Master, where have you been?" King Wang Bo and the eunuchs in the palace have personally announced to you, telling you to hurry up to greet you? β
How can this be? Lin Yi didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked into the gate, and after entering the second gate, he saw that an incense case had been placed in the open space in the courtyard, and a little eunuch was standing next to him, Wang Bo, Liu Wubian and Yang Jichang were each sitting in a chair and gossiping, obviously waiting for him.
"Oops! Boss, what is the wind that blows you? Please bow down to the students. With that, Lin Yi hurriedly stepped forward and knocked down.
Wang Bo smiled and stretched out his hand to help him up, looked at him and said, "Lin Yi, I want to announce three holy decrees today, one of which is for Liu Wuchang, so I invited his father and daughter to your mansion." Fang Cai Liu Wubian has received the holy decree and has been appointed by the emperor to supervise the imperial history, and he will take care of the affairs of the Bianjing Daily full-time. β
Hearing this, Lin Yi hurriedly smiled at Liu Wubian and said, "Uncle Liu, I congratulate you!" β
Liu Wubian smiled on his face, and his mouth couldn't be closed, obviously very happy.
Wang Bo said: "The next two holy decrees are for you, and because you have not returned, they have never been read!" Lin Yi, this time, this little father-in-law could have come alone, but the old man thought about it and decided to come to your house in person and explain it to you. Do you want to hear the good news first? Or do you want to hear the bad news first? β
Yes! Is this proclamation good or bad? Lin Yi said nervously: "My lord! Students prefer to hear the bad news before the good news. β
Wang Bo stroked the long beard under his chin and said with a smile: "Okay! Listen to the decree that is given to you with bad news. As he spoke, he nodded at the little eunuch.
The little eunuch walked to the incense case, stood up straight, and said in a shrill voice: "Why don't you ask Liu Xinyi and Yang Huijuan to come out together to receive the order?" β
This must be the reading of the decree for my marriage, haha! Lord Wang Bo said the opposite. Let's marry two ladies and enjoy endless blessings, but is it a great news? Lin Yi glanced at Wang Bo gratefully, but when he saw Wang Bo looking up at the sky with his face up, he ignored him.
After a while, Liu Xinyi and Yang Huijuan walked out of the inner house together, and knelt in front of the incense case with Lin Yi to listen to the order.
The little eunuch took out two holy decrees from his arms, looked at them, grabbed one of them and unfolded them, and read them out loud: "I heard that Lin Yi, a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, married Yang Huijuan as his wife, and had a close relationship with Liu Xinyi all day long, which is really a great joy, and the beauty of a gentleman's adulthood, so I gave the two daughters to Lin Yi as concubines at the same time, and I admire this!" β
Lin Yi's body immediately stiffened, and his face turned extremely pale. Yang Huijuan knelt behind Lin Yi, her face full of anger. Liu Xinyi was also annoyed, stretched out her hand to push him and said, "Lin Yi, what the hell are you doing, why did you turn both of us into your concubines?" β
"I ...... I don't know what's going on! Lin Yi hurriedly looked at Wang Bo, with a question on his face, "Lord Wang, didn't we say that we would give 30% of the shares of my newspaper to the emperor, and you asked me for a holy decree to give Liu Xinyi to equal his wife?" Why did it change, and my two wives were demoted to concubines? Aren't you trying to make trouble for me? β
Wang Bo turned his head, looked at Lin Yi, and said coldly: "Lin Yi, do you know what is going on?" β
Lin Yi hurriedly shook his head and said, "The student doesn't know, please make it clear to the adult!" β
Wang Bo looked at him and said, "Let me ask you, how did you steal your method of printing books from others, so that the eighth prince also made a newspaper?" β
"I ...... I...... The students don't know either. Lin Yi replied honestly. Just kidding, the eighth prince wants to steal my seal book with all his might, how can I prevent it? Sooner or later, he won't be robbed of it? Besides, this method of printing books is mine, and I can give it to whomever I want, so what's in the way of the emperor?
Wang Bo said in a heartfelt tone: "Lin Yi, do you know how much loss you have brought to the emperor because of your carelessness?" From now on, the emperor will not be able to control the public opinion of the world as he wants. The emperor was very angry about this, and originally wanted to arrest you and behead you all over the house, but under the sponsorship of the old man, the emperor was a little angry, and demoted Liu Xinyi and Yang Huijuan to your concubines, which was his old man's punishment for you. From now on, you have to do things for the emperor wholeheartedly, and maybe there is a possibility of turning the two of them into your main room, if there is any more mistakes, you will wait to destroy the family! β
Lin Yi crawled on the ground, his body was cold with fright, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "Master Xie will work hard, otherwise I will not be a student!" β
Wang Bo asked Yang Huijuan: "Miss Yang, can you be convinced of the emperor's will?" β
This did not arrest her husband and kill her head, this is already the greatest gift, Yang Huijuan has nothing to say, she hurriedly bowed down and said: "The people are convinced!" β
Wang Bo asked Liu Xinyi again: "Liu Xinyi, Lin Yi has been taken care of by you and your father Liu Wubian during his study in Taixue, maybe he stole the method of printing books from you." The emperor wanted to blame you, but remembering that you were a woman, he specially promised you to Lin Yi as a concubine and punished you for serving him to atone for your sins, and you were convinced. β
Liu Xinyi naturally had nothing to say, she had leaked Lin Yi's method of printing the book to the eighth prince, but now she was involved in Lin Yi and received the emperor's reprimand, but she didn't expect the retribution to fall on her in the end, which is really something that she can't even think of. I had to bow down and say: "The folk girl is also convinced!" β
Wang Bo laughed and said, "You two get up and stand aside." Listen to the little father-in-law read the next holy decree. β
Which little eunuch took out the second holy decree and read it out loud: "Lin Yi, a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, is talented and deeply respected, and he has specially named you as a seven-grade official, acting as the prefect of Zhengding, and from now on, he will take a concubine to take up his post, there must be no mistake!" β
The Jinshi of the Great Zhou Dynasty generally started from the eight-rank official, and Lin Yi was a seventh-grade official as soon as he came out, and he was in charge of the administration of a government, as long as he did a good job, he would become a regular after one or two years, which would be the sixth-grade official, which could be described as a great favor! Lin Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him. He took the decree and stood up, and stood still.
Wang Bo glanced at Liu Xinyi and Yang Huijuan, who were standing aside with a little joy on their faces, and said, "You two go down first!" I have a few words to say to Lin Jinshi. β
Liu Xinyi and Yang Huijuan hurriedly bowed, turned around and returned to the inner house. Wang Bo stared at Lin Yi with both eyes and said solemnly: "Lin Yi, do you know who recommended you for this official position?" β
"Isn't it you, my lord?" Lin Yihu asked suspiciously.
Wang Bo laughed and said, "Yes, it's not me, it's the Eighth Prince!" He bit the word 'Eighth Prince' very hard, and there was a smell of conspiracy in his tone.
Lin Yi's face immediately changed color in shock, and he said in a trembling voice: "My lord, he has always been at odds with me, why did he recommend me to be the prefect of Zhengding Mansion?" β
A cold light flashed in Wang Bo's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "This is actually the plan of the Eight Masters and the Party to kill people with a knife, do you think that if you become the prefect, it can still be a good thing?" β
Lin Yi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Ask the boss for advice!" β
Wang Bo stroked his long beard under his chin and said with a smile: "Zhengding Mansion has always been controlled by the Eight Masters and the Party, but recently, the Maitreya Sect in Zhengding Mansion has made a lot of trouble, and I heard that the previous prefect Li Qing secretly killed them. You say, where can you go to be an official and become a good thing? β
Lin Yi's face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Liu Wubian and Yang Jichang next to him hurriedly stepped forward and pleaded for their son-in-law, saying, "I still hope that Xiangye will rescue him!" β
Wang Bo stared at Lin Yi's face and said solemnly: "There is danger but also opportunity, this time the old man also recommended you, and invited the emperor to come down for you with the rank of seventh-grade official, this is your chance." If you can wipe out the thieves in one fell swoop, you will definitely be highly valued by the emperor, and you will have a great future in the future! I hope you can share the emperor's worries and solve problems for the court. β
"Can you not go?" Lin Yi said with a snort. After all, he lacks experience in political struggles and social experience, and it is really difficult to defeat a group of extremely vicious Maitreya followers!
Wang Bo stiffened his face and said, "No! What do you think of the Emperor's decree? Do you dare to disobey Your Majesty's will? Do you want to die? As the saying goes, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, if you dare to shirk it today, it is tantamount to disobeying the order, and you will be arrested and killed immediately. As he spoke, he slashed his palm down and made a threatening motion.
Lin Yi said with a busy face: "I didn't say anything about being a student, when the student goes, he must do his best for the emperor, and fight with which group of Maitreya disciples!" β
Wang Bo showed a smile on his face, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Lin Yi, I am very optimistic about you, and the emperor is also very optimistic about you, if you can win this time and succeed immediately, the matter of your two wives turning into wives will be wrapped up in me!" β
Lin Yi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank Wang Bo, and said arrogantly: "The students will set off on the same day to destroy all the little rabbits and cubs of the Maitreya Sect, so that the emperor will be happy." β
Wang Bo smiled and said: "This is like a word, you must be cautious when you go, I will send you a letter here, you take it, maybe it can come in handy." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Yi to read.
Lin Yi stretched out his hand to take the letter and looked at Wang Bo. Wang Bo said with a smile: "This is a letter to Zhang Ji, the governor of Zhengding Mansion, he is the emperor's person, and he can help you when the time comes, I hope you don't let the emperor down." As he spoke, he patted Lin Yi on the shoulder to show encouragement, then said a few words of greeting and said goodbye and went back.
