Chapter 53: The Father's Pity
It's been five days since the fight at Liang Zhen's house.
Form 5 stood in the hall, counting the five sticks in the bottle.
This kind of trivial matter is like a drift in the capital, and it has not caused any results, and it is estimated that even Liang Zhen has forgotten about it.
Zhongwu looked at the sky, today is about to pass again, he pinched a bamboo stick on the table and looked at the bottle, tomorrow, if there is no news tomorrow, he will write to Yuan Ji, according to the original plan, ask Xiang Yun to come forward and follow Meng Ming's path.
After all, Meng Ming is Li Feng'an's friend, and it makes sense to speak for Li Feng'an, at least in everyone's eyes.
"Form five." Zhonghou shouted loudly and walked in, his steps hurried, "Go outside and take a look." ”
How's it going out there? Form 5 holds the bamboo skewer.
Zhonghou gasped and ended: "The emperor is back, and he is riding a horse with the concubine Niangniang, and everyone in the city is watching." ”
Didn't the emperor ride a dragon through the city and have fun with the people? The emperor likes to do this, and over the years he has become more and more wanton, dancing and singing with the concubines in the palace before, and later even dancing with the singers at the banquet of the palace to entertain civil and military officials and envoys from other countries.
The emperor was completely different from the person described by the Grand Duke, and there was no opportunity to meet the emperor at noon, but he was not interested in seeing it.
Zhonghou was interested in going to see it himself, but just walked out and rushed back.
"I said I wouldn't go to see it." Form 5 said unhappily.
Zhonghou pointed to the goose behind him, who seemed to be choked by the neck, and let out a strange cry: "The eunuch in the palace is here." ”
Everyone went to the street to see the emperor and the concubine, and a few eunuchs stood in front of the Li family's mansion and did not attract onlookers.
These eunuchs are all very ordinary palace standard clothes and hats, and their status is not high, but the middle five dare not slack off and come forward to give respectful salutes.
A young eunuch smiled and asked, "Who brought Miss Li's recital?" ”
I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, Zhonghou is going to stand up first, Zhongwu stopped him, everything that should be arranged outside has been arranged, if there is really a disaster, it would be better for him to go in and deal with it.
The eunuch looked at him curiously: "You come with me, the emperor wants to see you." ”
It's not that he was arrested immediately, but that the emperor wants to see him, although there will be two results after seeing him, but there is still half the hope.
That's a good thing.
Zhong Wu breathed a sigh of relief and took a deep breath.
The first time he entered the palace, the magnificence of the palace was well known to the world, but he was not in the mood to watch, seeing the emperor, he was just a subordinate, and it was impossible not to be nervous.
Zhong Wu took a deep breath, thinking about how to do his best, not to fall into the face of the Grand Governor, and to persuade the emperor to allow the inheritance of the prince, he was led into a room, and the eunuch who attracted him smiled and refused the money he handed him, leaving no guidance, only letting him wait here.
The palace was also chaotic, just like the noise on the street, the palace maids and eunuchs ran to welcome the return of the emperor and the concubine, Zhong Wu stood in this room in contrast to the exceptionally quiet, the silence made him cramped and uneasy, the door was pushed open, and a chubby old eunuch wiped his sweat and walked in: "It's so busy, it's so busy, although it's not far, it's also hectic to go back and forth." ”
He seemed to be waiting for the response of the middle five, but the middle five just stood stiffly in place.
The old eunuch did not laugh at Zhong Wu's restraint, smiled kindly, sat on the chair, and asked while pouring tea: "You are from the Li family, what is your name?" ”
"Form five." Form 5 leaned over respectfully.
"This name is interesting, Li Dudu gave it to you?" The old eunuch asked with a smile.
The fifth response was: "We are orphans who have fled, and the Governor has picked up a bite to eat on the road, and they are our reborn parents, so he asked the Governor to rename us." ”
"Li Dudu has a good heart, and he can save the lives of orphans who have no relatives and no reason." The old eunuch sighed, and said, "Your Majesty has just come back busy and tired, let the old slave Quanhai come to see you." ”
Zhong Wu's heart sank slightly when he heard the previous sentence, and when he heard the latter sentence, he fell to his knees and kowtowed: "Now that Li Dudu's children have become orphans, please have mercy on Your Majesty." ”
"Lee Bong-an's brothers and mothers are still alive." Jeonkaido, "You can't say that. ”
Secondary 5 does not get up: "The only relatives are parents." "Bang bang kowtow and whimper," I hope my father-in-law will have mercy. ”
Quan Hai smiled: "Don't cry, that's what the old slave told the emperor." ”
The eldest lady made the right bet! Zhong Wu's tears poured out inexplicably, and his voice became more muffled, and he said something that he couldn't hear clearly.
Jeonhae was not dissatisfied, and his smile was even stronger: "Why are you crying even more?" ”
Zhong Wu knelt down and grabbed the corner of Quanhai's clothes: "Father-in-law, not only is the eldest lady and the eldest son orphaned and pitiful, but people like us are also lonely and helpless, and I feel sad." ”
Quan Hai looked at the young servant kneeling at his feet, as kind as looking at his grandson: "The eldest lady and the little boy are still young enough to cry, you are so old, don't cry." ”
Zhong Wu knelt and nodded, his voice still whimpering.
"Your Majesty is Li Feng'an's father, and when Li Feng'an is gone, his children, the father, will naturally take care of it." Jeonkaido, "Oh, take it." ”
What to take? Zhong Wu's body trembled slightly and raised his head.
Quan Hai held a yellow scroll in his hand: "Your Majesty appointed Li Feng'an's eldest son Li Mingyu as the envoy of the Jiannan Provincial Festival, taking charge of the festival for his father, and appointed Yizhou to supervise the military and political affairs and people's livelihood." ”
He briefly stated the contents of the decree and handed it forward.
"Take it."
Zhong Wu trembled and held the holy decree with both hands, and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen, thank your father-in-law for your great grace." ”
Quan Hai smiled again: "Thank you for what I do, you go, the imperial court will announce this matter tomorrow, it's too busy, I won't entertain you." ”
Zhong Wu knelt down and stopped Quan Hai: "Father-in-law, please let our little son come to Beijing to thank you." ”
The festival makes it impossible to leave the land without an edict.
Jeon Hae thought for a while and nodded: "Then let's take a trip." ”
Zhongwu was beating the drum in his heart, and the rumors outside were true, in the current palace, it was not the emperor who spoke the most, but the great eunuch Quanhai.
He didn't even have to ask for instructions.
"Father-in-law also meets our little son." Zhong Wu said gratefully.
Quan Hai smiled: "Okay, I also recognize people." ”
Zhongwu left the imperial city with the holy decree and walked through the most prosperous streets in the capital, the emperor had already entered the palace, and the onlookers on the street had not dispersed, everyone saw this scene, and was surprised that the emperor had just returned to the palace and passed the holy decree, and was surprised that the small people holding the holy decree were who they were, and they were even more surprised what the content of the holy decree was, setting off a new round of noise.
No one dared to stop him, and the fifth middle school entered the house through the noise.
Needless to ask, no need to say, looking at his expression and the things in his hands, everyone in the family knows the outcome of the matter, and happiness comes too suddenly and I don't know how to celebrate.
"Tell the eldest lady the good news first." Form 5 said that this is the biggest thing to celebrate.
The good news was immediately sent out of the capital and headed for Li Minglou, and the capital also dispersed.
Liang Zhen, who was drinking happily at the farewell dinner, heard the news and spilled the wine in his hand.
"Is it Li Feng'an, a ghost, who crawled out of the ground to see the emperor?"
