Chapter 563: The Divine Decree Has Arrived
As expected, the eunuch who delivered the decree came to the Zheng family when the sun was just about to go west, and under the escort of the forbidden army wearing brocade armor and holding various weapons, the eunuch Zhang Gonggong rode a tall horse and walked in front of the team, followed by the little eunuch with the holy decree in his arms.

Someone had already run to Zheng's house to report the news, and when he got the news, Zheng Xinyu immediately ordered all the people in the house who could not leave unless necessary to gather in the front yard to greet him, of course, before that, he had already ordered someone to clean the yard, although it was not so exaggerated that the water splashed the street and the loess filled the road, but the degree of intention was not much worse - receiving the holy decree, what a glorious thing, although there are many families in the capital, how many have had this experience? Presumably, in the next few days, the hottest topic in the chess world in Beijing is this, and not only in the chess world, but also in the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants, and in the chats before and after meals, the probability of mentioning the name of the Zheng family will far exceed others, right? As the head of the Zheng family, there is nothing more joyful.
Zheng Xinyu's side is close to the elders of the Zheng family, everyone is also happy, full of smiles, and the true thoughts in their hearts are put aside, this is the time to show their faces and win glory, who will put on a face and put on a bitter and hateful look to others is not happy? As for the others, they are also lined up according to their respective identities, which naturally includes the inner and outer disciples who are cultivating in the Zheng family - these juniors are also called to receive the holy decree, on the one hand, it is to support the scene, on the other hand, it is also to let the juniors receive a little shocking education, look at the young age of Tan Xiaotian, who has just come to the Zheng family to earn such a big face, with a heart of comparison, he can redouble his efforts in the future study, but do not complain about the sky, and rely on luck for everything, Although at this time, these children still don't know why they temporarily interrupted their daily compulsory classes and gathered here to wait for an old eunuch (because it was not officially conveyed, Zheng Xinyu only informed a few important people of the Zheng family in a small area, and it did not spread), but because of this, when Gonggong Zhang read the holy decree, the impact could cause the greatest shock.
"Third brother, is it really Tan Xiaotian who was handpicked by the emperor?" Lowering his voice, Zheng Quanxi leaned down to Zheng Quanxing and asked-Zheng Jiayu is the head of the family, so naturally it is impossible to tell everyone in person that Zheng Quanxi is like this, so even if he knows what the purpose of this emergency gathering is, he still mutters a little in his heart.
"With such a big battle, do you think Xin Yu might lie to us?" Zheng Quanxing also heard the news not long ago, but he chose to believe it unconditionally.
"That's right." Zheng Quanxi also knows that he thinks a little too much, as Zheng Xinyu is the head of the Zheng family, if there is no real news, it is impossible to make such a big move, you must know how much risk you have to take if you want to show your face, so many people are present, if things mess up, what will it look like if it is laughed at, in my heart, as a member of the Zheng family, and a very senior one, he also hopes that this matter is true, the glory of the Zheng family, he also feels that there is brilliance on his face, but somehow, there is always a little bit of loss in his heart.
"What's the matter, second brother, are you feeling unwell?" Seeing that Zheng Quanxi's expression was a little unnatural, Zheng Quanxing asked with concern.
"Oh, it's not ....., look at the movement, it should be here." Zheng Quanxi shook his head, even if it was his own brother, it was inconvenient to say what he thought in his heart at this time, and when he saw that there seemed to be a large group of people coming in the distance, he quickly changed the topic.
Everyone was also aware of the procession in the distance, and looked up at it together, and in the two rows of queues where the two dragons came out of the water, there was an old eunuch riding a tall horse, tall and fat, with a white face and beard, wearing a purple eunuch robe, pedaling thick-soled boots, holding a horsetail to whisk the dust, and his eyes seemed to be open and closed, giving people a sense of unfathomable.
"It's coming!"
Although she knew that it was a sure thing, Zheng Xinyu was still greatly relieved to see the figure of Father-in-law Zhang appear in sight, especially when she saw the little entourage who followed Father-in-law Zhang and held the holy decree of Huang Aya in both hands, the smile on his face became a flower.
"Who is that, such a big battle!"
"Ah, why doesn't this person have a beard, he seems to be older than my grandfather."
"Stupid, you are from the countryside, you don't know anything at all, tell you, that person is a eunuch, don't you see the clothes you are wearing?"
"Eunuch? What kind of official is a eunuch? Why don't eunuchs have beards? ”
"The eunuch is not an official, he is the person who serves the emperor's mother in the palace, as for why there is no beard ....., you will naturally know when you grow up!"
The inner and outer disciples who greeted the crowd were old and young, and they saw how much they were knowledgeable, and when they saw that Gonggong Zhang's appearance was very different from the usual officials, they whispered, not understanding what kind of important person the head of the Zheng family was greeting with such a big move.
"Quiet!" In the midst of his busy schedule, Zheng Jili turned around and snorted, which frightened the children who were talking in a whisper, and quickly closed their mouths, not daring to say anything more.
The procession of issuing the decree gradually approached, and soon came to the gate of Zheng's mansion, and without waiting for the team to stop, Zheng Xinyu led everyone to meet him, "Father-in-law Zhang, hard work." He greeted warmly.
"Hehe, how dare you work hard for the emperor." Gonggong Zhang smiled and responded, and then turned over and dismounted, don't look at the body fat, but the body shape is extremely neat, not inferior to young people in their twenties and thirties.
Father-in-law Zhang is a celebrity around Emperor Xuande, Zheng Xinyu often enters the palace to accompany the emperor to play chess, the two are also acquaintances, the two sides meet, first a greeting, and then Zheng Xinyu leads his family to embrace Father-in-law Zhang into the gate of Zheng's mansion and comes to the living room lobby.
"Are all the people who should be there?" Work first, and then talk about personal affairs, this is the usual process, come to the door of the hall, Zhang Gonggong stopped and asked Zheng Xinyu.
"It's all there." Zheng Xinyu replied.
"Okay, Zheng Xinyu, take the order!" Since everyone who should be there is there, Gonggong Zhang immediately prepared to announce the decree, his voice raised and shouted, the breath was long, and it came out from afar, the pitch was not very high, but it could clearly reach everyone's ears.
"Wow, this old eunuch shouldn't be a martial arts master, right?" Hearing Gonggong Zhang's voice, Tan Xiaotian's heart moved, thinking of Meng Jiaotou, who had been teaching him kung fu these days, and felt that these two people felt very similar to him in some aspects. (To be continued.) )
