The Nanjing wharf was crowded, and the entire city of Nanjing seemed to be empty, and people were all gathered here. Everyone was looking forward to it, waiting to welcome the envoy, and the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Palace.

The procession on the docks can be divided into several sections, the most dazzling of which are those dressed in yellow. All of them were the princes and county kings of Nanjing, who had been divided, and behind them, the generals of the towns and auxiliary countries of each province pressed a large area. These are all the clans of the Ming Dynasty, all of them are dragon sons and dragon grandchildren, and they will not show up when they are idle.

In the Ming Dynasty, although the clan had no power and the freedom of identity was greatly restricted, the status was extremely respectful. Even if it is a product of the dynasty, many people have to kneel and kowtow when they see the prince. Unless it is a messenger like Yang He, there are not many people who can let them come out in person!

Not far from the princes, there was a privileged class in the Ming Dynasty, which was a hereditary noble. These people, led by Wei Guogong, are also black. Unlike the nobles in other places, many of the people here have military power. One of the representatives is going to belong to the Wei State Mansion, who has been guarding Nanjing for generations, and the Chinese military governor is the governor!

Behind these people are the generals of Nanjing City, all of whom are officers in the guard. The armor on his body is polished, the cloak behind him is blood-red, and the war horse under his crotch is also very clean, which looks heroic and abnormal, people are like tigers, and horses are like dragons.

Not far from these people are the officials of Nanjing, the six Shangshu, Shilang, Langzhong, and other officials of the yamen, but there is a whole set of teams here. Although it doesn't do much on weekdays, now they are all standing here in official uniforms. Of course, there are also various yamen in Nanzhili, governors, political envoys, envoys and so on.

There are also giant businessmen and wealthy families, scholars and scholars on the periphery. The entire Nanjing wharf is crowded with people, and the grand occasion is unprecedented.

Although they had waited for a while, there was no impatience on everyone's faces, and they whispered to each other with a gentle smile on their faces. However, many people will glance at it from a distance from time to time. A look of complexity flashed in his eyes. Some people keep their heads down, don't talk to people, don't look at the people around them, and raise their hands from time to time to wipe their sweat.

If someone pays attention to these people, it is not difficult to see that these people seem to be nervous. When you look up at the river. The eyes are very wandering, and some people seem to be trembling.

I don't know how long later, a lucky boat appeared on the river, and a big flag stood on the bow of the boat, which read: Hunting on behalf of the sky, by order!

Here it comes! Everyone waiting on the shore knows it. Apparently this is the arrival of the minister! hurriedly tidied up his clothes, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the minister. Of course, there are some people who don't care, there is no action on the sect's side, but the etiquette is very thorough.

In the clan, this faux pas is a great sin, and it is the opposite of those ordinary officials. Inside the clan, enclosure and money. As long as he doesn't go too far, the emperor will basically turn a blind eye. Even if it is a robbery of a people's daughter, such a thing is at most a reprimand. But the faux pas is different, it can take away the king.

The ministers are just the opposite, they have done some things before, and it is easy to be knocked down, and the emperor knows that there is no good fruit to eat! As for faux pas, civil officials often play what kind of death advice, and what happens if they want to be killed, so there are many places for rudeness. The emperor generally does not pursue it. The rest of the dynasties may still be rectified, but the Ming Dynasty is very special.

Everyone stared at the ship with blazing eyes, and after slowly landing on the shore, it was still Jinyiwei and Dongchang's fans who walked out first. Then there were the Chincha Guards who opened the way, and after that. The one who came out was ordered to send Yang He.

Behind Yang He, on the left is Xu Xianchun, and on the right is the father-in-law of Dongchang, who has been following the deputy envoy since he left the capital. However, the Wei Dynasty had already explained, and he didn't speak along the way, almost non-existent.

At this time, Xu Xianchun was holding Shang Fang's sword in his hand, looking at everyone expressionlessly, with a serious face on his face, and his eyes looked straight ahead. By Xu Xianchun's side, Cao Huachun, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, dragged the holy decree in his hand and followed Yang He with a solemn face.

Standing on the bow of the boat, the river breeze blew Yang He's robe, turned to look at Xu Xianchun, Yang He said loudly: "Please take out the Shang Fang Sword!" ”

Xu Xianchun, who was behind Yang He, hurriedly stepped forward, held Shang Fang's sword in his hand with both hands, and respectfully handed Shang Fang's sword to Yang He.

Yang He took the sword and raised it high above his head, his eyes swept over the people around him, and the expression on his face was solemn and solemn.

All the people standing by the river threw up their clothes and knelt down, even the princes, and shouted loudly: "Greetings, please Saint! ”

Holding Shang Fang's sword, Yang He bowed in the direction of the capital and said loudly: "Holy bow!" ”

After kneeling there three times and nine bows, they shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Handing the Shang Fang sword back into Xu Xianchun's hand, Yang Heyou took the holy decree on one side, slowly unfolded it, and said loudly: "Holy decree!" ”

Everyone hurriedly said: "Wait for the order!" ”

After reading the holy decree again, after everyone shouted three times, Yang He once again shouted loudly: "Everyone, please get up!" ”

After everything was done, Yang He stepped off the boat, and after greeting everyone, he announced the disbandment. Those sects are the fastest, because they are patrolling on behalf of the sky, so they have to come to pick them up. After all, there is nothing to do with yourself, so it's good to leave as soon as possible!

The hereditary nobles have all left, and everyone is still talking and laughing, as if the arrival of the envoy this time has nothing to do with them.

The magistrate on one side couldn't hide, and after visiting the Lord Qincha again, Yang He went to the Qincha line accompanied by them.

At night, the singing and dancing in the city of Nanjing was peaceful, but there were also many discussions, and the intention of this Lord Qincha was speculated by many people. Some people received a report from Yangzhou, and it seemed that a case had been broken, as if there was nothing special.

Early the next morning, the weather was very good, and Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, got up very early. Although he has no experience of fighting in the field of his ancestors, after all, he is a martial arts heirloom, and Xu Hongji still has the demeanor of a military general.

was practicing knives in the courtyard according to his usual habits, and the soldiers guarding the door outside ran in, came to Xu Hongji's side, respectfully gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Grandpa Guo!" The deputy envoy of the Qin mission, Gonggong Cao, is out asking to see him! ”

frowned slightly, sighed helplessly, and couldn't hide if he wanted to! Handing over his nine-back mountain chopping knife to the soldiers beside him, Xu Hongji said in a deep voice: "Did you say something?" ”

"Returning to China, my grandfather said that he came on the order of the Qin Mission, but he didn't say anything specific!" The soldier saluted respectfully and said.

took the hand towel and wiped the sweat, Xu Hongji sighed, and said to the soldier: "Invite people to the hall, let the housekeeper entertain first, and then go to see him after I change my clothes!" ”

After cleaning up, Xu Hongji came to the lobby, and when he came in, he saw a small eunuch sitting there. He is very young, and his face is very immature, but his eyes are very bright, and he seems to be an extremely intelligent person!

Seeing Xu Hongji come in, Cao Huachun hurriedly knelt on the ground, smiled flatteringly, and said: "The slave maid asks for peace to Grandpa Guo, Grandpa Guo's body is healthy and he will live a long life!" ”

Slightly stunned, he helped Cao Huachun up, Xu Hongji said with a calm face: "This little father-in-law, has there been anything about your father-in-law who has offended you?" ”

Hearing Xu Hongji's words, Cao Huachun's face turned green, thinking that he was pinched by Xu Hongji's arm and couldn't kneel. His lips trembled, and he said, "Why did Grandpa Guo say this?" You are the grandfather of the country who is related to the country, and the status of the slave and maid is low, how do you say this! ”

Glaring at Cao Huachun fiercely, Xu Hongji said to him with a serious face: "Sit down and say!" Watching Cao Huachun sit down, Xu Hongji himself sat back in the chair.

"Let me tell you, you should kowtow to Grandpa Ben, the emperor will be happy when he sees it, and Grandpa Ben can afford it! But your identity is different now, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, let you kneel, that is a slap in the face of the emperor. It's a good thing that no one sees it here, otherwise it would be troublesome! Xu Hongji's face is not very good-looking, although this matter is a small matter, and it is not a big deal if it really spreads, but it may make the Emperor of the Apocalypse unhappy.

Seeing that Cao Huachun was about to speak again, Xu Hongji waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's get down to business!" What are you doing here? Or what did Cincha-sama tell you to do? ”

"Returning to the country, Lord Qincha wants you to go to the Qincha Xingyuan, and Lord Qincha has something to discuss with Grandpa Guo!" Although Cao Huachun still wanted to say something, Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei on the side, didn't want to hear it, so he had to say the purpose of his visit.

Nodding slowly, Xu Hongji slowly stood up and said to Cao Huachun: "Go back to the minister of the Imperial Mission, and rush over immediately after the change of clothes!" ”

"Yes, Grandpa Guo!" After saluting Xu Hongji, Cao Huachun turned around and went out.

In the middle of the Qin Mission, Yang He was waiting for Xu Hongji, with a somewhat anxious look on his face. Standing on one side is Xu Xianchun, and naturally Sun Yunhe from the East Factory is also indispensable. The two men glanced at each other from time to time, but neither spoke.

"My lord, Wei Guogong is here!" A brocade guard walked in outside, bowed to Yang He, and said respectfully.

"Please!" Yang He sat back in his chair and said in a serious voice.

Walking into the lobby, Xu Hongji picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, made a big salute, and said in a respectful voice: "Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, has seen Lord Qincha!" "That sentence is not in vain, Wei Guogong also dares to give a salute.

No one Xu Hongji stood up, but Yang He slowly stood up, took out a yellow scroll from his arms, and after slowly unfolding it, he said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived!" Wei Guogong Xu Hongji received the order! ”
