Chapter 281: Degraded to a common man, a sharp turn for the worse (2)
When they heard the "bang" of the gate of the prison being violently pushed open, Gu Panxi, Shi Feiqing and Shi Feizheng, who were already tossing and turning, all straightened up from the bed at once, waiting anxiously for the person to reveal their true faces.
The third watch will come to the prison in the middle of the night, and it must be an uninvited guest.
The first to come was a slender shadow dragged by the light of the torch, Gu Panxi saw that he was walking in a proper manner, cautiously, guessing that it was a person in the palace, and sure enough, it was Li Yu who came.
Seeing that the person who came was Li Yu, Gu Panxi, Shi Feiqing and Shi Feizheng all sighed in their hearts. What shocked them was not Li Yuqi, but Li Yu's identity as a close eunuch and the golden holy decree in his hand.
"King Zhao is not clear, take the order!"
Li Yu sang loudly, his voice trembling a little.
Shi Feiqing immediately knelt on the ground, Gu Panxi and Shi Feizheng sat cross-legged in a dignified manner, without the slightest consciousness that he was a prisoner in the prison.
"Minister, the time is not clear, take the order!"
Li Yu unfolded the holy decree, and recited the will drawn up by Shi Feiqing on his behalf, and finished reciting it once in his own locality, when he recited the sentence "degraded to the common people", not only Shi Feiqing, Gu Panxi and Shi Feizheng, but also the cell guards who escorted Li Yu into the prison, they couldn't help but be shocked.
"Degraded to commoners?"
Shi Feiqing was surprised that this result was so light.
Gu Panxi turned his head violently to look at Shi Feizheng, who had an intriguing smile on his face, which meant as if to say that Di Danqing had made the right choice as he expected.
Gu Panxi didn't know where Di Danqing had completely sacrificed himself to protect her and Shi Feiqing. Her heart ached, and she blamed herself for Di Danqing's selflessness and her own incompetence.
Li Yu handed the holy decree to Shi Feiqing's hands with both hands, and at the end, he whispered: "Lord Wang, it's so precious!" ”
Shi Feiqing nodded with a smile and replied, "Thank you father-in-law for your care." ”
I thought that Li Yu's arrival was just for the promulgation of Feiqing's demotion to a commoner, as well as Gu Panxi, who was his wife, and Gao Xinning, who was his concubine, naturally became the result of the commoners.
Shi Feiqing, Gu Panxi and Shi Feizheng looked at their eyes all the time, and they couldn't guess what the content of this extra holy decree was.
Li Yu didn't intend to let them guess, because letting them know the content of this holy decree was one of the important tasks assigned to him by Shi Wen's political commissar.
"Wang ...... No, the time is not clear, Gu Panxi, the content of this holy decree has nothing to do with you. It's just that the emperor told you that you need to know the content of this holy decree, so that my father-in-law came and relayed it. ”
Li Yu quickly adapted to the switch of titles. He coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said: "The emperor specially approved Chen Ziqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to retire in advance, and at the same time promoted Ma Rushu, the current left deputy attendant of the Criminal Department, to be the new secretary of the Criminal Department, and immediately took office. ”
Gu Panxi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Shi Wenzheng specially asked Li Yu to relay the content of this holy decree to promote Ma Rushu to Gu Panxi, in order to humiliate her and ridicule her.
In Shi Wenzheng's view, Gu Panxi exhausted all his organs, and even coerced him against the grain, in order to consolidate his own strength and Shi Feiqing's strength, and put Ma Rushu in a high position. Now Shi Qianzheng has taken Ma Rushu to a high position as Gu Panxi wishes, but Shi Feiqing has become a commoner and is completely out.
It's like a man handing over his Elder Wand to a Muggle. Ironic to the extreme.
After conveying this second holy decree, Li Yu still did not leave, he cleared his throat again, and said: "This father-in-law came this time, and actually brought an edict from the emperor. The eldest prince, the minion will relay it for you. ”
"For me, an oracle?" Shi Feizheng didn't expect that Shi Wenzheng would come out like this, which was a bit unexpected.
"Exactly. The eldest prince, although it is an oral message, but also asks the eldest prince to follow the rite of receiving the decree. ”
Shi Feizheng hesitated for a while, but still reluctantly knelt on the ground and said, "Minister, Shi Feizheng, take the order!" ”
Li Yu's chin was raised slightly, and he said in a straight voice: "Shi Feizheng offended Concubine Yi, I believe that I have been trapped in the prison for many days, and I have already made reflections." At the time of my amnesty, he was not released from prison without guilt. At the same time, I was not the king of Yan, the fief, and the mountain of Yan! ”
Shi Feizheng's mouth opened into an O-shape, and Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi also looked at him incredulously.
Shi Wenzheng is at this juncture, and Shi Fei, who has been neglected for many years, is not the king?
It's really hard not to think about what is the meaning behind this move.
Li Yu saw that Shi Feizheng was only concerned about surprise and surprise, and the person stayed completely in place, and hurriedly reminded: "The eldest prince, no, the slave should change his name to the prince." Lord, are you still not grateful? ”
Shi Feizheng swallowed his saliva and said respectfully: "Minister, thank you Lord Longen!" ”
Li Yu gestured to the heavenly firm behind him and the jailers, and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you open the door of the cell for King Yan and help him out? ”
"Yes...... Be! ”
Tianjian hurriedly pulled the key from his waist, and because he was too busy, he accidentally let the key fall to the ground. After he opened the door, the jailers also rushed into the cell, helped Shi Feizheng to his feet, and carried him out of the cell almost as if he were carrying him.
"Lord, the emperor has sent hot water and food to your palace, as well as brand new clothes. Old slave, this will escort the prince back to his house. ”
Li Yu bowed respectfully, and waited for Shi Fei to take a step.
Shi Feizheng glanced back at Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi, who were still in the prison cell, separated by a long distance, thought for a while, and asked: "The fifth brother of this king, and the fifth brother and sister, since they have been demoted to commoners, father and emperor, don't you want them to be released from prison?" ”
Li Yu thought to himself, Shi Feizheng was really the new king who was crowned with three fires, and he had just become the prince, so he got involved in such a sensitive matter. But when he thought about it, it was precisely because of his absurd behavior that he was snubbed in the past, and he had not been crowned king for a long time, and he could understand in his heart that this was a complete thorn in the head, and he was a lord who was not easy to serve.
"Lord Wang," Li Yu smiled embarrassedly, "The emperor has instructed that when the dust settles, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi can be released from prison." ”
"Oh?"
Shi Feizheng raised his eyebrows, "Although the fifth brother and the fifth brother and sister can't be released from prison yet, at least the two of them can be arranged in the same cell, right?" ”
Li Yu glanced at Tianjian's head, Tianjian's face was embarrassed, and he said, "King Yan, this ...... King Wu, he commanded......"
Shi Feizheng frowned, and asked in a cold voice: "King Wu is the king, and his words are useful." If this king is not a king, words are useless? ”
