039 Crown Charter
The eunuch who entered the Pengzhou Mansion was Bai Qieming, who was in charge of Dongchang.
It stands to reason that although the capital is 14,500 miles away from Pengzhou Mansion, it doesn't take 13 days to arrive, but Bai Qieming not only transmits the decree, but also has the secret mission of exploring the Maling snake spirit.
He first went to Maling Mountain and found out the hiding place of the snake spirit, and then he came over to deliver the decree.
Even if Dongchang is weak now, it is not something that the Pengzhou Mansion can stop, not to mention that he is here to pass on the decree, nominally the royal Qincha.
So he took a little eunuch and went on a rampage all the way into the hall of the palace.
Hearing that the holy decree had arrived, Wen Chaotian straightened his official uniform and solemnly knelt on the ground.
The five products of the same knowledge of the adults all knelt down, and Ma Qianli, the head of the government without grade, hurriedly knelt down, he was very flustered, and after kneeling, the sleeves of his robe kicked up a cloud of dust.
There was no way, there was no clear appointment of the prefect, and Wen Chaotian didn't bother to let the officials clean the government.
The dust flew under the candlelight, and even Wen Chaotian seemed to be kneeling in the dust.
If it weren't for Bai Cheming, Wen Chaotian couldn't wait to jump up and kick the horse thousands of miles away.
But as soon as this thought came to him, Ma Qianli sneezed again, spraying open the hem of Bai Qieming's coat, revealing the brown shirt inside.
"Brownshirt? Why is it that the people from Dongchang came to deliver the message? ”
"Isn't it the good news of my promotion, but the holy decree to take me down from prison?"
However, Bai Qieming stood there with the holy decree in his hand in order to put on a good shelf, and he didn't read it for a long time.
Wen Chaotian's doubts became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't help but look up at Bai Qieming.
He forgot that the Qincha was acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and it was a great crime of disrespect to look directly at the face of the Qincha when he delivered the decree, just as he looked directly at the Son of Heaven.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Mr. Wei coughed outside the window, waking Wen Chaotian.
Wen Chaotian stabilized his mind and did not raise his head.
At this time, Bai Qieming finally put on a posture, and read the holy decree with the unique sharp voice of the eunuch: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Pengzhou Mansion is the same as Zhiwen Chaotian, just and upright......"
Hearing these four words of praise, Wen Chaotian breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he is also very glad that he can have a Mr. Wei by his side who corrects him all the time.
The holy decree is all words of praise, which is nothing more than the immediate effect of governing Pengzhou Mansion during this time, and he personally solved the serial murder case of Xie Yuwen, etc., and his loyalty can be learned, and he was promoted to the prefect of Pengzhou.
After Bai Qieming finished reading, he stretched his voice and said: "Wen Chaotian receives the order......
Wen Chaotian hurriedly kowtowed, raised his hand over the top to receive the holy decree, and then stood up.
From this moment on, Wen Chaotian is the prefect of Pengzhou, and he can finally justifiably take charge of the affairs of the government!
Pengzhou Mansion is not the end, just the starting point, his next goal is Ying Tianfu Yin!
The other governors of a prefecture are all called prefects, and they are four products, only the capital Shuntianfu and Liudu should be Tianfu, and the prefect is called Fu Yin, and they are three products.
Wen Chaotian took the holy decree, and Bai Qieming completed the affairs of the Qin Mission, and changed his smiling face.
"Congratulations, Lord Wen!" Bai Qieming said with a smile.
The emperor can treat the eunuchs as slaves, but it does not mean that the officials can too.
Wen Chaotian understands this truth.
He saw Bai Qieming turn around to leave, and hurriedly put away the holy decree and grabbed Bai Qieming's wrist.
"Father-in-law is slow, it's not too late to take a sip of tea and leave."
"Lord Wen is polite, our family still has official business, so we won't delay."
Bai Qieming really didn't want to drink tea, after all, he was still waiting outside.
So he gently broke Wen Chaotian's hand and walked out of the lobby quickly.
The eunuch came to deliver the decree, not to mention a promotion, even if it was a demotion, the person who received the decree should also be meaningful.
Wen Chaotian hurriedly instructed Ma Qianli to hurry up and go to the courtyard where he lived, find Yahuan Xiang'er, and prepare a decent gift for Bai Qieming.
Mr. Wei stopped Ma Qianli.
"Don't bother with the horse catching the head, I already have a gift." Mr. Wei said.
Wen Chaotian quickly pulled Mr. Wei, caught up with Bai Qieming, and stuffed the small bag in Mr. Wei's hand into Bai Qieming's sleeve.
Bai Qieming didn't excuse himself, said thank you and left.
Wen Chaotian pinched the bag just now and knew that it was a small pearl from his own.
Wen Chaotian took Mr. Wei's hand and said, "The eunuch came to the night in a hurry, this time thanks to Mr. Wei's clever calculation, he prepared a gift in advance, otherwise he would have been neglected." ”
Mr. Wei smiled and walked away with his hands behind his back.
At this time, Ma Qianli had long forgotten that he was going to give his daughter just now and find a person to deal with her in-laws.
Wen Chaotian was promoted, and he was greatly praised in the holy decree, and it is not surprising that he has a bright future.
The holy decree also focused on Xie Yuwen's matter, which proves that Wen Chaotian alone has ascended to heaven with a chicken dog, and Duan Chu will be even more popular.
Ma Qianli wished that tonight, he would find a matchmaker who could speak well and go to Duan's house to propose marriage tactfully.
With the good news, Wen Chaotian's unhappiness with Ma Qianli just now was inconvenient.
"Ma Zhutou, you have worked hard to run, the New Year has arrived, this official ...... Ahem, this government wants to invite the subordinate officials of the government to get together and discuss this year's affairs, the list, I said you will remember. ”
Wen Chaotian said a long list of names, all of them were officials of the government and counties, and they were high-ranking officials.
Ma Qianli knew that he had never invited his subordinate Wen Chaotian, but this time he was too happy, and in the name of deliberations, he invited everyone to dinner.
Wen Chaotian watched Ma Qianli finish writing, and said: "There is another person's name, which needs to be added." ”
Ma Qianlixin said that it must be Duan Chu.
As a result, what Wen Chaotian said was not Duan Chu, but he Ma Qianli himself.
On the list listed by Wen Chaotian, they are all high-grade court officials, Ma Qianli was able to be invited as a servant, and he was flattered, but he also thought a little too much: Could it be that Duan Chu fell out of favor?
Ma Qianli was bold and asked tentatively: "My lord, don't you invite Duan Chu?" ”
Whether Miss Ma marries or not, it is in Wen Chaotian's answer.
Wen Chaotian waved his hand and said: "Duan Chu doesn't want you to invite, this mansion will personally go to his house for a visit, and I heard Mr. Wei say that the Duan family's utensils are old, and the doors and windows are in disrepair, so this mansion will go and see it in person." ”
Listening to Wen Chaotian's meaning, he was very concerned about Duan Chu.
Ma Qianli couldn't wait to pay for it tonight to help Duan Chu arrange the cave house and marry his daughter.
The county officials below take time to travel to and from the government, and the banquet time is set for the twentieth day of the first month.
Ma Qianli took the list, took his entourage, and ran to inform him.
He had to hurry up and notify the people on the list, and then find a matchmaker to go to Duan's house to propose marriage.
……
At the beginning of this time, I was still standing at the door of the bun shop, looking at the window that had never been opened, but the candlelight was lit inside.
Zhuzi has paint on her face, and after the second day of the Lunar New Year, she rarely goes out, and she doesn't want to attract attention anymore.
She wasn't even interested in watching the lanterns tonight, but she was waiting left and right at home, and Duan Chu just didn't come, so she couldn't sit still.
She was worried that her identity would be leaked by Liu Blind, Duan Chu would be implicated, and something had already happened.
So Zhu Zi went out to find Duan Chu.
After looking around twice, she found Duan Chu standing in front of the bun shop in a daze, and just wanted to call him, when she suddenly found a person quietly walking to Duan Chu's side, so frightened that she quickly shrank into the crowd.
……
Walking to Duan Chu's side, it was Bai Qieming who had changed into the coat of ordinary people, he patted Duan Chu's shoulder and asked, "Duan Chu?" ”
Duan Chu nodded, indicating that he was, and asked rhetorically: "You have something to do with me?" ”
Bai Qieming shook his hand and showed the Dongchang waist card and ordered: "Come with me." ”
There is an edict in Dongchang, and this waist card is a life talisman in the eyes of many officials.
