Chapter Forty-Eight: The County Lord Is Coming
As soon as he heard that the Holy Decree had arrived, Yue Su hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”
When the people next to them heard that the holy decree had arrived, they all turned their heads to look, only to see a soldier outside the crowd bowing down and saying, "Lord Hui, you are waiting outside." ”
"Lead the way!" Yue Su didn't have time to pay attention to King Fu now, so he walked sideways and walked past King Fu. King Fu's attendants who dared to stand in the way got out of the way.
For all those present, although the holy decree is not for them, as long as they hear it, they must go and kowtow. And the big guy is also going to hear what this will is. There is the one who gloats, and he is still praying in his heart, which is the will of Yue Su to dismiss the official and reduce his guilt. Thinking of this verse, it is even more intellectual.
When King Fu heard it, he couldn't help but go, because what they were most afraid of was that they would let people participate in a book and say that he was disrespectful. So let Hu Cong carry it and hurried over.
Coming to the entrance, the people here had already been cleared aside, leaving an empty space, and Yue Su saw at a glance that a man in eunuch clothes was standing in the middle, and beside him, he was also followed by the Han general. The most important thing is that this eunuch who passed the decree, Yue Su knew, wasn't it Liu Mingguo.
Behind Liu Mingguo, there is a column of honor guards, but it looks magnificent, and it doesn't seem to match the identity of Liu Gonggong. Yue Su was wondering, whose honor guard was, but in the car walked a graceful and luxurious woman, the woman was surrounded by maids and guards, slowly walked towards this side, before he got close, Yue Su had recognized the person, but it was the county lord Mu Tianjiao.
Liu Mingguo was not in a hurry to read out the holy decree, it seemed that he was waiting for others to gather, when Zou Jiaren, Wang Linhe, Shi Tong, Shi Wen and other high-ranking officials successively raised behind Yue Su, and even King Fu also came to Yue Su's side, when Mu Tianjiao walked aside, Liu Gonggong took out the holy decree and shouted loudly: "Henan Governor Yue Su receives the decree!" ”
"Chen Yue Su takes the order!" Yue Su said, knelt down first, and other officials and gentry also hurriedly knelt down with him, and the surrounding people were even more so. Fuwang Chitose is too fat, and his movement is a little inconvenient, but he has to be interesting.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Shuntian Mansion Yin Yuesu, ordered to patrol Henan, when the treasury is empty, with 50,000 taels of silver, disaster relief, rebuild the river work, share the worries of the Son of Heaven, and relieve the people of Li in the upside down, and make great contributions, which is really a model for hundreds of officials. Today, it is specially intended to add Yue Su as the crown prince and young protection, and he admires this. ”
"Chenyue Su is grateful, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" When Liu Mingguo finished reading the will, Yue Su raised his hands and thanked him loudly.
The others also shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Liu Mingguo closed the holy decree, walked in front of Yue Su, handed the will into Yue Su's hands, smiled and stretched out his hand to help, and said: "Congratulations to Lord Yue on being promoted to the crown prince and young protector, adults get up quickly, the emperor has been thinking about the adults, and before leaving, he instructed the little ones to ask the adults when they will be able to complete the disaster relief and rush back to Beijing." Then he took the robes and crown belts from the hands of the Han general, and presented them to Yue Su.
After Yue Su took it, he handed it to Tie Qiu and said, "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the minister can basically complete the disaster relief and return to Beijing before the beginning of spring." ”
The little one replied to the emperor with the same words. I didn't see it for a long time, Yue Shaobao was a little thin, and he must have worked hard for disaster relief and was tired. If the emperor sees it, he will definitely feel distressed. Liu Mingguo said with a smile.
"It is the duty of a courtier to do his best and serve the country." Yue Su said humbly.
Liu Mingguo and Yue Su were polite again, and then he walked in front of King Fu, bowed down and said: "Say hello to the prince, may King Fu live a thousand years and live a long life." Shicai was busy delivering the decree, and he didn't have time to ask the prince for peace, and hoped that the prince would not be guilty. ”
King Fu is now sitting on the throne and said: "You have the emperor's order, and it is right to be busy with business first, what a crime, my father-in-law is polite." As he spoke, he waved his hand.
Father-in-law Qian, who was standing beside him, immediately took two steps forward, came to Liu Mingguo's side, took out two ingots of gold from his arms, stuffed them into Liu Mingguo's hands, and said with a smile: "You have been tired all the way, this is the prince's reward." ”
Liu Mingguo gave a decree to Yue Su, and Yue Su, who benefited, was not rewarded with a penny, but King Fu was rewarded first. The king of Fu is not bad for money, and there are eunuchs from Beijing, who will basically give you a reward, and will not say anything good for you to go back to Beijing, but please don't say bad things. And looking at Liu Mingguo's robe today, the grade is not low, so he will not be lazy.
Gonggong Liu smiled and put the gold into his sleeve and said, "Thank you for the reward." ”
On this side, he was talking to King Fu, and on the other side, Zou Jiaren, Wang Linhe and others immediately congratulated Yue Su. "Congratulations to Lord Yue on being promoted to Shaobao." "Congratulations to Yue Shaobao." …… Seeing that Yue Su was so favored by the emperor, he fought in Henan, and he could still win the title of Shaobao, which one would not flatter. Don't look at the smiles on the faces of these people, they are secretly scolding in their hearts, either scolding him for being a villain, or saying that the emperor and those cabinet bigwigs are blind, and they can let such a guy who doesn't know how to be an official become such a big official.
You must know that the honors of 'Three Princes' and 'Three Youths', some officials can't get it for a lifetime, Yue Su is less than thirty, and he has already been crowned as the crown prince Shaobao, from the official position of Yipin, how can people not be envious, jealous and hateful.
No matter how jealous or hateful it is, it is useless, everyone can clearly see that when the eunuch saw Yue Su, he was polite and respectful, and he didn't even dare to call himself our family.
There are all the ladies who come to the meeting with their families. At first, these people thought that 'Yue Shaved Head' would be an old guy, after all, if he was a political envoy, he would have to stay up to nearly fifty years old, let alone a governor. As a result, the reality surprised them, the dignified governor was not even thirty, and he had even just been promoted to the crown prince and young guard.
Originally, most of these little women were in love with vanity, and at the beginning, they laughed at the name 'Yue Shaved' with their girlfriends, and said something that Yue Su didn't know how to be an official. But at this moment, it was a 180-degree turn, and I couldn't wait to marry Yue Su. Which girl is not pregnant with spring, and which girl does not love heroes, the nickname 'Yue Shaved Head', in their hearts, has become synonymous with heroes. Some are even imagining that if they can marry Yue Su, what kind of scenery it will be, now everyone is from the prince of the first grade, looking at the momentum, he can still rise and become his wife, wouldn't he be able to be named the first grade of the wife in the future.
I want to think about it, but none of these ladies dared to come forward to say hello, after all, the etiquette at that time was this class. At best, he was taking a peek at Yue Su from a distance.
After these officials congratulated, they shrank back one after another, and this time Mu Tianjiao came over and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Yue on being promoted to Shaobao." In just over a year, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my lord has become a very popular minister, which is really gratifying and admirable. ”
"Thank you, Lord Shiren. Su Meng's wrong love, I am grateful, and I am really ashamed of this high position. "The current Yue Su is already the crown prince Shaobao, with the current level, in front of the county lord, he can no longer be called a subordinate official, and it is a little inappropriate to call himself the head office, so he can only call himself by his name.
"Your Excellency is too modest, when you were in Guizhou, your Excellency has repeatedly solved strange cases, and has made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, and now you are ordered to provide disaster relief and share your Majesty's worries, as the holy decree says, it is a model for a hundred officials, and it is well deserved to receive this honor." Mu Tianjiao praised again.
The two talked hotly, and the officials on the side also became hot. Mu Tianjiao's elegance is peerless, and her honor guard also symbolizes identity, and everyone wonders that people like Yue Su who don't know how to be an official can still have a relationship with the county lord.
Originally, today was the Dragon Gate Society, and the protagonists were the two academies of the competition, and the Fuwang Chitose who planned to taunt Yue Su. As a result, because of a holy decree, Yue Su's status was raised one step further, and he was promoted to Shaobao in front of everyone, stealing all the limelight at once.
Seeing that the opening time had passed, the prefect Shi Tong walked to Yue Su's side and said with a sneer: "My lord, the time for the opening of the Dragon Gate Meeting has passed a little, do you think you can start now?" ”
"Ah...... If you don't mention it, the headquarters has forgotten, notify everyone, go back and sit down, let's start. Saying that, Yue Su said to Mu Tianjiao again: "I don't know why the county lord is here, I want to come in the name of Mulongmenhui." ”
"As the adults said, the county has nothing to do, around the cruise, to the territory of Henan, I heard that there is a dragon gate meeting in Luoyang today, so I came to take a look, I don't want to meet the adult here, I am really lucky." Mu Tianjiao said with a smile.
Shi Tong nodded and said, "My lord, then the lower official will go and inform the others to sit down." After speaking, he arched his hand at Mu Tianjiao and said with a smile: "Xia Guan didn't know that the county lord was coming, and he didn't prepare a stand for the county lord, otherwise, Xia Guan would give up his stand to the county lord......
"No need." Mu Tianjiao said lightly: "I'm just here to see the excitement, I think there should be a vacant seat in Yue Shaobao's stands, I'll just sit there with him." ”
"Yes, yes......" Shi Tong hurriedly nodded and retreated, and ran to King Fu again.
King Fu is now inquiring with Liu Mingguo about the situation in Beijing, asking about something similar to the emperor's body, in order to show his concern for the emperor as an uncle.
Shi Tong came to the side and said carefully: "Lord Wang, the Dragon Gate Meeting is about to start, I don't know if Lord Wang will go in and sit down now." ”
"Okay." King Fu nodded and said, "Gonggong Liu, it's not easy for you to come all the way to Luoyang. It is better to accompany the king here to see this dragon gate meeting, and when it is over, the king will set up a banquet in the palace to catch the wind for his father-in-law. ”
"How dare you have Lord Lao, after the small decree, he is in a hurry to return to Beijing to resume his life, and he really doesn't dare to stay for a long time. The little one said goodbye, said hello to Yue Shaobao in the past, and was going back to Beijing. Liu Mingguo said with a smile on his face.
"Business is important, since my father-in-law said so, the lonely king will stay soon. By the way, Qian Companion, when Father-in-law Liu leaves, he will pass through Luoyang, you will give him a ride on my behalf, and by the way, I will go to the house to pick up some souvenirs and give my father-in-law a little back. Fu Wang said.
"Yes, lord."
King Fu went out to watch the Longmen Meeting this time, and he didn't know that a eunuch was coming, so he didn't bring too much money to go out. Just giving Liu Mingguo two ingots of gold as a reward is really a bit cold for him, the prince. Therefore, let Father-in-law Qian go back to his home to back up the gift for Liu Mingguo.
Eunuchs are all greedy for money, and Liu Mingguo is no exception, bowing down and smiling: "The prince has already rewarded it, if it is rewarded again, the small one is really ashamed." ”
"It's nothing. After returning to Beijing, remember to greet the emperor for the king. King Fu said with a grin.
"This nature, this nature ......"
After Liu Mingguo finished speaking, he resigned from King Fu first, went to Yue Su to say goodbye, and said two polite words, and followed Father-in-law Qian to Luoyang.
Yue Su, Fu Wang and others entered the square one after another, it stands to reason that in previous years, the opening speech was said by King Fu two sentences, this time although Yue Su came, he didn't want him to come to the stage. However, Yue Su had just been crowned as the crown prince and young protector, and his grace was even better, and Shi Tong came running again, hoping that Yue Su would take the stage and act as a judge.
Yue Su didn't like this kind of thing very much, so he politely declined and let Shi Tong preside over it himself. As for being judged, Yue Su didn't have that mood, his own flat water was already a little, so it was embarrassing.
Next, everyone went to the stands. Yue Su took his subordinates, Mu Tianjiao, and Zhu'er to his stand. Along the way, Jin Chan's gang had to give their own adults a blessing, and now this group of people feel that following Yue Su is very promising. Wang Linhe originally didn't plan to be on the same stage with Yue Su, and wanted to go to the prince's side to sit down, but it can be seen that Zou Jiaren went to Yue Su's stands, thinking that Yue Su had just become the crown prince and Shaobao, it was better to be less offended, so he followed him in a hurry.
When all the guests were on the stands, Fuwang Chitose came to the stage first and said two words of encouragement without nutrition, and then Shi Tong went up and announced the start of the Dragon Gate Meeting.
After the beginning, it was the academicians of the two academies who came out to speak, but Sun Shenxing came to Dongming Academy, so how could the academicians steal the limelight from Master Sun, so they naturally gave up the opportunity to speak. Sun Shenxing didn't show up just now, just sat in the stands on the side of Dongming Academy, and when the holy decree came, he pretended not to hear it.
Now taking the stage to speak, it immediately aroused a warm response from the scholars present, and Yue Su saw Sun Shenxing appear in the stands, but he didn't care. Sun Shenxing finished speaking with the academicians of Longmen Academy, and the competition began.
The two colleges each sent students to compete on the stage, and the comparison was naturally poetry.
There were a total of seven judges present, except for the prefect Shi Tong, all of whom were famous Shilin masters in Luoyang City.
The battle on their side was in full swing, and in Yue Su's stands, Mu Tianjiao was chatting with Yue Su. Because of their identities, the two sat in the first row of the stands, and on the right hand side of Yue Su, Zou Jiaren and Wang Linhe were seated. In the back row, it was Yue Su's family, and Jin Chan and the others were all standing aside to guard.
The two of them started talking about what they were busy with after parting, and after a while, Mu Tianjiao talked about another topic. "Lord Yue, before I came to Luoyang, I first went to Wansui Mountain for a trip, and on the way out, I encountered a murder."
Maybe it's because he has been a police officer for a long time in his previous life, as soon as he heard about the murder, Yue Su's eyes lit up, and he asked: "I don't know what kind of murder it is, who is the deceased, and the murderer is missing." ”
"The deceased was a man in his thirties, and there was a child with him, who was stabbed in the chest, but fortunately it was not critical, because it was found in time, and his life was saved. When I woke up this morning, I asked him who had committed the murder, and at first he only knew how to cry and look for his father, and then he calmed down. According to him, his father and son were going to his grandmother's house when a horse came from behind and knocked them away with their car. His father never woke up, and when he crawled up to his father's body, two bad guys came up and one of them stabbed him. According to my analysis, it should be to check whether his father is dead, and by the way, kill people and kill people. Mu Tianjiao said truthfully.
