Chapter 705: Nanyang Proclaimed
The eunuchs who can survive in the palace are all human spirits.
Gonggong Deng knew that both King Qi and the future Princess Zhao Ruxi were loved by the emperor. He was especially willing to sell a good one to the fiancΓ©.
So after he went to Suipingbo's Mansion early in the morning to announce the decree, he went out of the city directly, quickly whipped up, and went straight to Nanyang. He planned to rush to Nanyang before the yamen went down to the yamen and went to the state yali to read the holy decree.
Such a glorious thing, if it is only read out by the Zhao Mansion of the Zhu family, Zhao Ruxi and the subordinates, isn't it a night trip in brocade? The state government must know Zhao Ruxi's new identity. She is the future princess of Qi and the royal daughter-in-law, and these people should be more respectful to her.
Before the Ya in the morning, Gonggong Deng and his entourage entered Nanyang City and arrived at the state government quickly.
In the yamen, everyone was packing up their things and preparing to go home, when they saw the official guarding the door crawling in, and stammered to Liu Hongyu, who was about to go down the steps, and said: "Great, my lord, a father-in-law came to the door, saying that he was here to read the holy decree. β
Liu Hongyu stumbled under his feet and almost fell down the steps, but fortunately he was helped by his subordinates.
Cai Yaozong, who was about to step out of the threshold, had one foot outside the door and one foot in the door, and he was also stunned.
They have lived so much, they have not been decreed, and they have never seen such a creature as their father-in-law. Although Cai Yaozong is from the prince's faction, he is just a small minion and is not qualified to see the prince at all.
The closest they were to the emperor and the people in the palace was when the palace test.
"Hurry, hurry, please." Liu Hongyu said, eager to give this official a slap.
This is a holy decree, who dares to fake it? Father-in-law is not someone who can pretend to be either. These officials were so blind that they dared to stop people at the door and not let them in, which made him angry.
Saying that, he didn't care about the servants, and walked out quickly, ready to personally invite people in.
Fortunately, the official who reported the news was a little stunned, and the other official always felt uncomfortable in the face of the eunuch and a group of imperial guards standing at the door of the yamen. This is the person around the emperor, and he is here to read the holy decree, just like the emperor himself is here. Is it really good that they are so blocked from entering, and they have to give a state the same knowledge, and they need his consent to enter?
After thinking about it, he invited this group of people in, and happened to meet Liu Hongyu who came out.
"This is Lord Liu, our Zhizhou." The official hurriedly introduced.
"Xiaguan Liu Hongyu, I don't know what to call my father-in-law?" Liu Hongyu smiled and greeted the guards, "You have worked hard." β
Father-in-law Deng had a tense face, and he was already on the verge of going berserk.
If it weren't for Liu Hongyu being Zhao Ruxi's official and colleague, for the sake of Zhao Ruxi's face, he wanted to give Liu Hongyu some face, where would Gonggong Deng be honestly stopped outside by the officials, and he would have been mad a long time ago.
He represents the emperor.
When the decree arrived, the officials didn't even let them in, and they had to wait here for the ceremony, he hadn't received this kind of treatment since he had been a eunuch for so long. Many wealthy families in the capital dare not do this.
Although he didn't make trouble, he was unhappy with the boss in his heart, and he also wanted to suppress Liu Hongyu's arrogance for Zhao Ruxi.
He said to Liu Hongyu without smiling: "Lord Liu, this yamen is guarded firmly, our family has been in the capital for seven or eight years, and we have never been stopped at the door. This is the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair. It seems that Lord Liu has to be sent to the border to guard the city. In this way, our country will be worry-free. β
Liu Hongyu broke out in a cold sweat all over his body and almost knelt on the ground.
He squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and explained: "The officials in the small place have never seen the world, they don't understand the rules, and they don't know whether they should invite their father-in-law directly into the door, and ask their father-in-law to forgive me." β
Only then did the official who came to report the news react, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said to Duke Deng: "Father-in-law forgives him." The villain, the villain, really didn't mean it. The villain just hasn't known how to be good. β
The other also knelt down and begged for mercy.
Gonggong Deng ignored them anymore, went straight into the yamen, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he didn't move, and asked, "Zhao Zhiwei Lord Zhao is an official here?" Our family came from the capital today to announce the decree to Lord Zhao. β
Cai Yaozong has been speculating about what Gonggong Deng came to promote. At this time, when I heard him ask Zhao Ruxi, I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.
Regardless of whether this holy decree is related to the king of Qi, or the emperor's decree to transfer Zhao Ruxi to Beijing as an official, seeing that this eunuch originally had an angry face, but when Zhao Ruxi was mentioned, his face was full of spring breeze, and the holy decree was definitely a good thing for Zhao Ruxi.
When Zhao Ruxi first came, he could feel sorry for Zhao Ruxi many times. Although he later relented, the two sides were reconciled. But once Zhao Ruxi gains power, he may take revenge on him.
He was apprehensive in his heart, but his body moved very quickly, and he quickly turned around and went up the steps, rushed into Zhao Ruxi's house, and shouted: "Lord Zhao, someone from the palace has announced your decree." β
He is more than one round older than Zhao Ruxi, and he is an official of the same level, so it is good not to think of himself as a senior, and he will never use honorific titles for Zhao Ruxi. But in this hurry, he even came out with honorifics.
Zhou Chun and Ma Sheng were busy with the wine shop during this time, and Zhao Ruxi still brought Xiang Ming and Lu Yun with him. These three people are born as guards, and their only task is to protect the safety of their masters, and they will not be as nosy as Zhou Chun and others.
Therefore, Liu Hongyu went out and took Gonggong Deng and others in, Zhao Ruxi, who was concentrating on doing things, didn't know, Xiang Ming and others didn't pay attention to it, they just thought that when it was time to go down, everyone went out, so there was some noise outside.
But he didn't want Cai Yaozong, who usually held a shelf, to rush in like a hairy boy, and shouted about the decree, and the three of them moved in their hearts and looked at Zhao Ruxi.
Zhao Ruxi is putting the finishing touches on her water conservancy map, and if something goes wrong in the end, she will have to redraw the entire map.
Therefore, Cai Yaozong came in in a hurry, she didn't pay attention to it at all, stabilized her mind, her face did not change in the slightest, she finished the last stroke with her hand steadily, and took a closer look, then put the pen on the pen holder, raised her head and asked, "Lord Cai, what did you just say?" β
Cai Yaozong was very convinced by Zhao Ruxi's unchanging frame in which Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
He repeated the words with a very good attitude, and reminded in a flattering tone: "Lord Zhao, go quickly." On such a hot day, Father-in-law Deng came all the way from the capital, and if he waited for a long time, he would be in trouble if he got angry. β
Zhao Ruxi raised her eyebrows.
She thought that the holy decree should not be so fast, and she had to turn several corners, but she didn't expect that Xiao Lingyan returned to the capital yesterday, and the holy decree was issued today.
"Thank you, Lord Cai, for reminding me." Zhao Ruxi said, walked out quickly, and saw Deng Gongcheng, the eunuch in the palace, standing expressionlessly in the shade of the tree in the courtyard, and Liu Hongyu was talking with a smiling face. Next to it, the officials were putting incense burners on the incense table under Li Li's command.
