"The Divine Decree is coming, it is coming......"

There was shouting outside.

The people in the hall were alarmed, and even Liu Chengfeng was awakened, opened Miméng's eyes, rubbed them, and then the group went out in a hula.

On the side of the middle gate, an official of the Ministry of Rites had arrived, and the first few red-clad attendants behind them were all holding trays covered with red silk, standing solemnly.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the system says: Wen, the wife of the hundred households of Jinyiwei, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous......"

The holy decree of the Ming Emperor, at the beginning is roughly divided into two kinds, if the emperor edict said, this is the cabinet on behalf of the draft promulgation, and if it is read as the emperor system said, this is the emperor's own handwriting, but the difference here, Liu Chengfeng also does not understand, anyway, this holy decree and yesterday into the palace when the emperor said the same, but in the Ming Dynasty, Mrs. is divided into two kinds of edicts, edicts, one to five products are edicts, the following is the edict, according to the reason, Liu Chengfeng is a six-grade military attaché, Mrs. from the husband's grade should be the six-grade edict Mrs. is, It's just that because this is a special purpose, the husband is the sixth grade, and the wife is the second grade, so she can also be called the lady of the fate.

Liu Chengfeng didn't understand this, so he asked the emperor for a decree at that time, which was actually a bit of a violation of the rules, but the emperor was happy at that time, and he felt that Liu Chengfeng's contribution was not small, so he didn't break it, and indirectly gave a second-grade edict. If Liu Chengfeng said please seal the edict, most of the holy decree is the lady of the six products.

After the holy decree was recited, the officials of the Ministry of Rites brought Mrs. Order's rhinoceros horn shaft dress left and right, and presented the seal letter and other things, Wen Chenxi took it, thanked him, and everyone was in an uproar to stand up, and the official of the Ministry of Rites said: "Wait." And the Holy Decree. ”

Everyone bowed down again, Liu Chengfeng was speechless, how could this holy decree be the same as a serial, could it be that he still came to play the sequel?

The official of the Ministry of Rites displayed another holy decree, coughed, and continued: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: There are hundreds of households in Jinyi to supervise the prince. Meritorious to the country, Qin gave a Jinchun sword, a hundred taels of gold......"

Jinchun Sword.

If it is said that the wife of the sixth-rank military attache is a bit out of line, and now that he is giving the Jinchun sword, it is also a bit out of line. I've only heard of Jinchun knives. But he had never heard of Jinchun Sword, and when the official of the Ministry of Rites read it out, even Wen Zheng suspected that he had heard it wrong, but he couldn't ask at this time, but he was confused.

However, Liu Chengfeng guessed a clue, the Jinchun knife was used by Jinyiwei, and the knife itself was worn by military attachés. But the sword is different. The sword is the meaning of dignity, in the Ming Dynasty, those who have been admitted to the fame of the show can be equipped with a sword, for the literati and even the civil officials, if you want to wear weapons for decoration, it is impossible to choose knives and guns, gourds and the like, the only choice is the sword.

So the sword has another sublime meaning. The so-called Confucianism, the six arts of the gentleman, among which there is the way of the sword, in the Ming Dynasty street market with a sword, is definitely the meaning of noble status.

Moreover, this decree is an edict rather than a system, which means that the decree was promulgated by the cabinet, and several scholars in the cabinet. Presumably also discussed with the emperor, the cabinet did not object to the matter of giving the sword, and everyone acquiesced to the identity of Liu Chengfeng who was no longer a martial artist.

Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath and gave the will of the sword. The meaning is too severe for him, this is the recognition of his literati identity, in this Ming Dynasty, martial arts are despised, for example, in the army of the Ming Dynasty, although officials such as the chief military officer are military attachés, but the real control of military horses and horses, the governor must be served by a literati, which not only represents the imperial power's distrust of the warriors, on the other hand, it is also the atmosphere.

What a martial artist can do, a literati can do, a literati can do, and a literati can do, but a martial artist can only stare dryly at the side.

With this identity, Liu Chengfeng can't be underdeveloped.

What the old men in the cabinet think, Liu Chengfeng didn't know, but Liu Chengfeng roughly understood the emperor's thoughts in an instant. On the surface, the emperor and Liu Chengfeng are teachers and students, but the dignified protégé of the Son of Heaven is a martial artist, how can this be done? Don't you have to laugh off other people's big teeth when you pass it on? But giving the sword is equivalent to giving Liu Chengfeng another identity, it seems that this seems to be a very compromise and self-deceptive method, but it is much better than asking Liu Chengfeng to quit the Jinyiwei errand and go to the show.

"The Lord's Order is grateful." In the suspicious eyes of everyone, Liu Chengfeng was at ease and took the will and Jinchun Sword.

Liu Chengfeng stood up and said with a smile: "It's hard for adults to transmit their will, so it's better to go to the inner hall to rest and drink tea before leaving." ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites glanced at Liu Chengfeng, if it was an ordinary martial artist, he would just say a refusal, after all, he was an official of the imperial court, if he wanted to talk about the wind and bones, how could he deal with a group of martial artists? Otherwise, if it spreads, it will be broken. However, Liu Chengfeng's identity is different after all, although he is a military attaché, but he is also a horse wash in Zhan Shifu, and he is Wang Ao's protégé, and now the emperor has given the imperial sword, the hint here is self-explanatory, hesitated, the official smiled, and said: "It's okay, so there are hundreds of households in Lao Liu." ”

Liu Chengfeng hurriedly greeted the official into the inner hall, and Wen Zheng was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he called a family member, whispered a few words, and then entertained the guests with Liu Chengfeng.

After serving the tea and exchanging names, they learned that the official's surname was Hu, and the single name was a Kai character, Hu Kai first looked at Liu Chengfeng a few times, and drank the tea slowly, while Liu Chengfeng sat with him on the side and said a few words of gossip, Hu Kai seemed to have something on his mind, and after all, he couldn't help asking: "Liu Baihu, did you do it?" The official has a reluctant request, can Liu Baihu show the article of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the King of the Upper Throne to the official. ”

Liu Chengfeng is still like a spring breeze, this time, his face has changed, show you? Don't you know that this article is more valuable than ten thousand taels of gold? With these articles, the sales volume on the first day of Xueerbao has exceeded 200,000, what is the concept of 200,000? If you have a copy of 300 yuan, it is 60,000 taels of silver, and after removing all expenses, you will clean your hands more than 50,000 taels of silver in a day.

Liu Chengfeng's eyes rolled, and he spread his hands and said: "It's not that someone Liu doesn't want to show it to adults, haha, it's just that this article is in the palace, and the emperor is only willing to copy 300 words every day, this is what the emperor means, and someone Liu is helpless." ”

Anyway, this Hu Kai didn't have the courage to ask the emperor for verification, Liu Chengfeng carried this black cauldron to the emperor, but there was no pressure at all.

Although Hu Kai knew that Liu Chengfeng was probably fooling him, he was helpless, and said with a smile: "No wonder, no wonder ......" After saying that, he lowered his head and drank tea.

After sitting for a while, Hu Kai was about to get up and say goodbye, Wen Zheng had already taken a large ingot of silver, and wanted to stuff it on Hu Kai's body, Hu Kai's face flashed a trace of embarrassment, Liu Chengfeng saw it, and said: "Master Hu has a breeze on his sleeves, give him silver, isn't it insulting him?" Lord Taishan, our Lord Hu is different from those ordinary dead eunuchs, how can he accept our family's silver? ”

Liu Chengfeng's words not only took care of Hu Kai, but also took care of Wen Zheng's face, Wen Zheng was embarrassed to stuff it again, but he still felt a little embarrassed, Liu Chengfeng smiled and said: "I have long heard that Lord Hu likes antiques, but I have a fake antique here, which is not worth a few dollars, so let's play with it." Liu Chengfeng didn't say a word, took out an agate ring from Dongchang last time, sent it to Hu Kai, and said: "With Lord Hu's eyesight, I must be able to see the flaws in this fake. ”

It's a cat who doesn't steal, the salary of the Ming Dynasty is so low, if the official is really clean, the family would have gone to beg for food, since people came to announce the decree, it is appropriate to get some reward. However, after all, people are officials of the Ministry of Rites, and it is indecent to indirectly smash silver, and people are embarrassed to accept it, Liu Chengfeng asked Xing to change his name, you must know that this culture of bribery has been passed down for thousands of years, Liu Chengfeng just has so many hundreds of years of experience than Wen Zheng, anyway, it is more tactful than Wen Zheng to give gifts, and it makes people look better.

Hu Kai's eyes lit up, he glanced at Liu Chengfeng appreciatively, and couldn't help thinking: "This Liu Chengfeng really doesn't look like a martial artist, look at other people's methods, this person will make a career sooner or later." Then he took the ring with a smile on his face, and said: "Since Liu Baihu wants to take the exam, the official has no choice but to fight, so you stay and leave." ”

With that, Hu Kai took the ring and left.

Sending Hu Kai away, Liu Chengfeng held the exquisite Jinchun sword in his hand and took a closer look, this Jinchun sword is not only a royal gift, but it is naturally extraordinary, the scabbard and the hilt are inlaid with gold and jade, and the moire is exquisite. Liu Chengfeng quietly pulled, held the hilt of the sword and pulled out the sword by an inch, and the blade of the sword buzzed, like a dragon groaning.

The body of the sword is made of fine iron, the workmanship is profound, the blade of the sword is cold, and the two edges of the sword have slender blood grooves, whether it is from the decorative or practical aspects, perfect.

"Good sword!" Wen was watching from the sidelines, and couldn't help but say.

Wen Zheng said with a smile: "With this sword, coupled with the flying fish suit given by Qin, in this Jinyi Guard, I am afraid that even the Jinyi Guard's knowledge will be overshadowed." ”

Wen Zheng specially called Liu Chengfeng a virtuous son-in-law today, and the relationship between the two has changed greatly, especially the fact that Liu Chengfeng begged for Wen Chenxi's life, which made Wen Zheng feel that this son-in-law was not bad, and he used to feel that Liu Chengfeng's son-in-law made him a little embarrassed, but now, it is a big scenery, sometimes when he goes to the Beizhen Mansion, he meets several colleagues who are envious of him for having such a son-in-law.

It's not that Wen Zheng is snobbish, in fact, people are like this, with ability, others naturally think highly of it.

Liu Chengfeng smiled and said: "It's a pity that such a good sword is only used as ornaments, I don't know when I can borrow someone's head to use it." ”

Although what Liu Chengfeng said was a joke, his eyes couldn't help but shine.
