202 The special edict entered the palace

As soon as he heard that it was the holy decree, Cui Jing's face suddenly turned pale.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; Although the strength of the family is very large, so big that the emperor has to scruple a little, but the holy decree represents the emperor's will, Li Er is pragmatic, when the holy decree is read, there is no need to go out of the city for ten miles to greet him, but let people bathe and burn incense to show respect for these, in general.

Usually the decree is read out during the day or evening, before the decree is read, there is a fast horse to prepare in advance, and now there is no warning, just knock on the door in the middle of the night, as if he also beat the house slave guarding the door, very anxious, it seems that even the dignified Qinghe Cui clan does not leave a little mercy, and the people present are secretly surprised: this Qinghe Cui clan will not be involved in the seizure of power, rebellion or something, now that the east window incident has happened, the emperor will send someone to clean him up in the middle of the night, right?

Everyone suddenly turned their eyes to the head of the Cui family on the side, Cui Jing of the Cui family in Qinghe.

"Go, help the old lady out to listen to the order, be careful, don't frighten her family." It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, Cui Jing forced himself to calm down and ordered someone to help the old lady out to listen to the order.

Soon, a person dressed in the appearance of a eunuch, supported by two soldiers, with a few people, stumbled in a little, the image was quite embarrassed, Cui Jing looked at it, the stone in his heart was put down for most of it, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just by looking at it, Cui Jing saw a lot of useful information: those soldiers, looking at the system of clothing and armor, are the royal forest army, and the eunuchs who read the holy decree did not have arrogance, but a look of apprehension, and the most important thing is that there are only five people in their party plus the eunuchs, and they must not have robbed their families and exterminated the clan, otherwise. An army should follow.

I just don't understand what's going on, and I'm so anxious.

"Lord Shangshu is fine, our family name is Huang, because the situation is urgent, I don't care about etiquette and righteousness, I just crashed the gate of Cui's mansion, I am offended, and after announcing the decree in a while, it is all up to Lord Shangshu to deal with it. Ah, the Lady of the Decree was also alarmed, sin, sin. The eunuch didn't wait for Cui Jing to ask, and as soon as he walked up, he immediately asked Cui Sanye for his guilt. When I saw Mrs. Cui, I even called it guilty.

It's not that Cui Jing's status is too high. It's that the status of eunuchs is too low. During the reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the restrictions on eunuchs were stricter, stipulating that the highest official rank of eunuchs in the province was three grades, and the amount was also limited, and they were not allowed to be favored in ordinary times, so the situation of eunuchs being rampant and domineering had not yet appeared at this time. Those eunuchs with low status and self-esteem are usually warbled and trembling, and this Huang Gonggong is only a seven-rank eunuch. When you meet a third-grade master, you are naturally respectful.

Those who come out to run errands and do drudgery are naturally eunuchs of low status.

"Where, where, Huang Gonggong is on official business, he doesn't rest at the post station in the middle of the night, and he rushes all night, he must be in a hurry for official business, right? There is a reason for it, how can Cui blame his father-in-law. Hearing that this eunuch surnamed Huang was so low-voiced and his body was so low, although Cui Jing was unhappy that someone was rushing into the majesty of his Cui family, it was not easy to attack.

The dignified three-grade master can't just compete with an unangry eunuch.

"Slap" Huang Gonggong slapped his head sharply, and said with a little regret:

"Oops, our family almost forgot about business, Liu Yuanke? Stepped forward to receive the order. ”

What the? Liu Yuan?

This holy decree is looking for Liu Yuan?

Not only did Liu Yuan not turn a corner, but even the people present didn't react at once.

"Liu Yuan? Yangzhou Liu Yuan can be in? Didn't you say that you followed Cui Shangshu back to Qinghe? What, not there? Just when Liu Yuan wondered if someone had the same name as him, the eunuch surnamed Huang screamed anxiously.

The people present all turned their eyes to Liu Yuan at once, and everyone was curious about why they had a holy decree to find him, or the kind they looked for overnight, and Wang Zichen was also startled: Didn't you say that this surnamed Liu was a white body? Why did even the people in the palace know about him, and now even the holy decree has been chased overnight, what is the origin of this guy?

"This, this father-in-law, I am Liu Yuan." Liu Yuan hardened his head and stood up and admitted it.

Huang Gonggong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Liu Yuan as if he had seen a treasure, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said a little complainingly: "You can make our family miserable, three hundred miles all the way to the horse, I didn't expect that you were not in Yangzhou, and ran to Qinghe, our family looked for you, but I almost broke my legs, okay, okay, kneel down and listen to the order." ”

"Yes." Liu Yuan didn't know how to answer, so he had to answer, a little reluctant to kneel.

It turns out that this purpose is to find Liu Yuan, amazing, from Yangzhou to Qinghe, what is used, is the highest specification of three hundred miles of fast horses, this way toss, no wonder I saw him stumbling, looking embarrassed, but, what is so urgent, it seems that Liu Yuan is just an ordinary scholar, as for it?

Everyone wanted to think about it, but as soon as they heard the decree being read, they had to kneel down so as not to be charged with great disrespect.

Seeing that the main lord was found, everyone knelt down to accept the decree, and Huang Gonggong did not dare to slack off, even asked for the holy decree, coughed dryly, and began to read it:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Jun Xuan in order to seek governance, really rely on the ministers of the humerus, Yangzhou Liu Yuan, learn through the history, only to understand the world, it is a literary matter, collect all the secrets of the ancient and modern, now specially given into the palace face saint, immediately executed, do not have words to admire this."

said a lot, what do you say to learn through the scriptures and history, to understand the affairs of the world, to be a literary matter, to collect all the secrets of the past and the present, Liu Yuan heard a little confused, when did he become so powerful, even the emperor knew the way, it seems, he still wants to enter the palace by himself? What's going on? Before coming to Qinghe, he was still a small businessman, but he entered the Cui family and became the son-in-law of the Cui family.

"What do you think, hurry up and thank Lord Longen." After reading the holy decree, he naturally wanted to thank the emperor, Cui Jing on the side saw Liu Yuan motionless, and knew that he was distracted, and from the perspective of the future father-in-law, he couldn't help but gently push him.

How? Dare to distract from listening to the holy decree, one is not good, then it is a great sin of disrespect, what do you think?

"Thank you, Lord Longen."

was reminded by Cui Jing, Liu Yuan suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly thanked him, and everyone followed suit.

"Ah, Shang Shuda, Mrs. Decree, Lord Wang, my lord. Please up, please up. Seeing so many dignitaries kneeling on the ground, Huang Gonggong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked everyone to stand up.

"Okay, Xiao Langjun, you clean up, we rushed overnight, the emperor is in a hurry to see you, our family has been in Yangzhou for a while, and now it has been delayed for a long time. This has to be a part-time job day and night, don't let the emperor wait. After everyone stood up, Gonggong Huang didn't care about Liu Yuan's distraction, and after reading it, he rolled out the holy decree. casually stuffed it into Liu Yuan's hand, and immediately said that he was going to go.

"What?"

"What?"

Liu Yuan and Cui Jing shouted at the same time.

Liu Yuan exclaimed. Are you in a hurry to see yourself? Walking in the dark at night. In these days, there are no car lights and no street lights, which is a dangerous thing.

And Cui Jing exclaimed, that is because the day after tomorrow is the day when his daughter Cui Mengyao and Liu Yuan visit the church to get married, the wine and food have been prepared, and the guests have not yet arrived. is also on the way to it, and now the emperor suddenly summoned him, from Qinghe to Chang'an, it is to use a fast horse of 300 miles. Two days and two nights may not be able to arrive, what should I do when the wedding banquet arrives? When the guests came, but the groom ran away, how could he explain to his relatives and friends?

Isn't it a joke?

"Lord Shangshu, is there any problem?" Huang Gonggong was a little surprised by Cui Jing's response, as if this reaction was also a little bigger.

Cui Jing said cautiously: "Gonggong Huang, I don't know if this matter will be feasible in two days?" To tell the truth, Liu Yuan and my little girl Mengyao have already changed the Geng post, so they chose to visit the church two days later to get married, the banquet and other things have been bought, and the guests from all parties are almost here, everything is available, only the east wind is owed, if Liu Yuan is missing, then, how can my wedding be carried out? ”

"This, this" Huang Gonggong was dumbfounded all of a sudden, he only knew that Liu Yuan came to Qinghe Cui's family, and it was said that he lived in Cui's mansion, but he never dreamed that Liu Yuan would be the son-in-law of Cui's mansion, and he would marry in the church two days later.

It's not that he's ill-informed, it's that he spends the whole day in a carriage, and it's really hard to receive these messages.

After hesitating for a moment, Gonggong Huang shook his head embarrassedly and said: "Lord Shangshu, I guess I embarrassed you, the emperor doesn't know about it, I went straight to Yangzhou while releasing carrier pigeons to let people escort him to Chang'an, which can save time, I didn't expect to receive a reply, Liu Yuanji followed Lord Shangshu to Qinghe, no way, I turned around halfway to Qinghe to find someone, and now I have been delayed for a lot of time, and I have to travel overnight tonight, it's not that I don't want to be convenient, the emperor really means, no matter what he's doing, Take him back to the palace immediately to face the saint. ”

Cui Jing's face twitched, and he said without giving up: "There is no accommodation? Huang's father-in-law is willing to be accommodating, and Cui has his own filial piety. ”

Gonggong Huang looked left and right, pulled Cui Jing and walked away a few steps, and then said in a low voice: "Lord Shangshu, it's not that the small ones don't give you face, but this fact is not very easy to handle, not only the emperor, but also the eldest grandson, General Li, General Cheng, Fang Xiang and other adults are also waiting for him, you say, this matter"

"What? Are they all surnamed Liu's boy? Is this serious? Cui Jing said in surprise.

These are the real powerful figures in the Tang Dynasty, any person who stomps his feet in Chang'an, and the government and the opposition will be shaken, will he wait for a little scholar Liu Yuan?

That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

Gonggong Huang nodded solemnly and said: "The little one has a few guts, and he doesn't dare to deceive Lord Shangshu, this matter is true, as for what it is, the small position is low, and there is no way to know." ”

"Well, in that case, I can't stop it, but seeing that you have worked hard all the way, people are tired, go eat something and rest first, I will let people prepare a good horse cart for you to use on the road, and it will definitely not be much slower." Cui Jing's face twitched, but he still said carefully.

"With Master Lao Shangshu, you think too carefully." Huang Gonggong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said gratefully.

Now I am indeed tired and hungry, people are tired, of course it is best to take a break and replace, and then I have to go, I have to pack up for Liu Yuan, right?

Qinghe Cui's face, how can he give it. (To be continued.) )
