Chapter 6: The Holy Decree
The golden light was shining, directly illuminating half of the capital.
For a time, many princes woke up.
"Why did the Holy Decree fly to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion at this time? Wang Guang is in the Northern Plains, could it be that this Holy Decree was not given to Wang Guang?"
Everyone is speculating that Emperor Tianwu has only issued two holy decrees in recent years, and they were on the same day.
The first way is to let Zong Ling go to kill Taicang, and now the second way is what appears.
"It is impossible for the holy decree to be given to Mrs. Shaohua, so the only person who is still qualified to receive the decree in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is Wang Guang's only son. ”
Which one of the people who can become a prince is not a human spirit, and after a little speculation, I guessed something.
"Wang Guang's only son lives in a shallow way and rarely walks outside, is there anything about this person that makes the emperor value?"
All the princes and princes are very puzzled, Wang Hao is indeed very good among the commoners, but if it is compared with other princes' heirs, it will be a bit mediocre, and it stands to reason that the emperor should not pay the slightest attention to the latter.
"Wait, the decree will be read soon, and we will soon know why. ”
In the end, everyone stopped speculating and directly arranged for the servants to go and find out the news.
At this time, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was already full of people, and everyone knelt together and waited for the holy decree to be read, and Wang Hao was also among them.
"What's going on, why did the decree suddenly come at this time?"
Wang Hao was also pondering, he had planned to be silent for a while, but this holy decree disrupted his overall plan.
As soon as the Holy Decree arrives, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion will inevitably become the center of everyone's attention, which is not a good thing.
Soon after, a majestic voice rang out.
"Wang Hao, the heir of the Marquis of Dingyuan, set foot in the martial arts in the year of the weak crown, and I was very relieved, and I specially sealed the seven products of the Zhenshen Division to show the emperor's grace. ”
The decree is very short and not as cumbersome as outsiders might think.
However, after Wang Hao knew the content of the holy decree, he was like being struck by lightning, and his expression instantly became solemn.
But now is not the time to think too much, the first thing to do is to take the order.
"The minister took the order, thank you, Lord Longen. ”
Wang Hao didn't dare to refuse, not to mention that this holy decree directly allowed him to enter the Zhenshen Division, which saved him a lot of trouble.
In the absence of an official position, even if Wang Hao is the heir of the prince, he does not dare to call himself a minister, but he is now a Zhengqipin inspector, of course, he can call himself so.
After receiving the response, the golden light began to dissipate, and soon the sky above the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion returned to its original state.
"Hao'er, you come with me. ”
Like Wang Hao's reaction, Mrs. Shaoyang not only did not rejoice because of the holy decree, but even had a sad face.
The gun shot the first bird, the town god division had just been established, and many princes had no way to arrange for their heirs to enter, but Wang Hao was an inspector appointed by the emperor, and secretly I don't know how much jealousy it would arouse.
Mrs. Shaoyang's love for her son is very heartfelt, and she is naturally extremely worried.
Soon the two came to the ancestral hall, and Mrs. Shaoyang turned around and said with a serious face: "Kneel!"
Wang Hao didn't know why, but he didn't disobey his mother's words.
"When?" asked Mrs. Shaoyang.
"Not long after the breakthrough, I originally wanted to hide it for a while, so I didn't tell my mother, but I never thought that the emperor still knew. ”
Wang Hao replied truthfully, and this incident also caught him a little off guard.
"Anyway, as soon as the holy decree arrives, other princes will also know about it, Hao'er is no longer a child who needs the protection of her mother, and you have to go your own way in the future. ”
Mrs. Shaoyang sighed, in fact, she has never objected to Wang Hao's martial arts, after all, the Celestial Empire established the country by force, and it is difficult to protect herself without enough force, but she doesn't want Wang Hao to embark on a career as an official, and the princely family is as powerful as a tiger in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, there are a few people who are not trembling.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll be careful. ”
Wang Hao's nose was sour, but he didn't know how to open his mouth to comfort.
"Your father has offended a lot of people, and now that the Holy Grace is favored, no one dares to openly oppose us, but secretly there must be many people staring at the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, remember to be careful when acting. ”
Mrs. Shaoyang nodded, then looked at the many tablets in the ancestral hall and said: "The Wang family has been founded for three hundred years, and it has reached the peak of power in your father's generation, and it is directly made a marquis, Hao'er, I still have a few words to say to you, and your father has always been on his lips." ”
"Now that you have embarked on your official career, you must keep in mind the word loyalty, whether it is your ancestors or your father, you are loyal to the people of the Celestial Empire, loyal to the court, and loyal to the royal family. ”
This is Mrs. Shaoyang's last warning to Wang Hao, and it is also the most important point for an official.
But this time Wang Hao was silent, because he remembered the tragic situation of the Wang family being wiped out.
Of course, he said yes again and again on the surface, but did not delve into this topic.
"Hao'er, it is not surprising that you will receive a lot of invitations in the future, but remember, neither the royal family nor the princely invitation can agree, I will tell your father about this, and let him decide what to do. ”
After explaining the last thing, Mrs. Shaoyang took Wang Hao out of the ancestral hall, she also had to go back to prepare some things, this matter has a lot of impact, the inspection makes the official position not big, but it represents the emperor's attention to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and someone in the harem will inevitably throw an olive branch, and Mrs. Shaoyang herself must properly handle this matter.
Harem battles are much more serious than between princes.
"I didn't expect the problem that had been bothering me to be solved, but I couldn't be happier. ”
In the room, Wang Hao's face was a little gloomy.
He was a little confused about the Emperor's intentions, and he was always a little uneasy in his heart.
"The official position of the inspector is very special, directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, but it can reach the heavens, if you really want to say it, it is indeed the result of my dreams, but the emperor does this and directly puts me on the fire to roast, many princes will definitely be dissatisfied with me, and may even alienate my father because of this, which is not a good thing in the long run, but it is not without benefits. ”
Wang Hao thought about it, and at this point, he could only move forward.
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived outside the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion the next day, there were many people waiting, all of them from various princely mansions, including several princely cronies.
Originally, Wang Hao didn't want to see them, especially after getting Mrs. Shaohua's explanation, he didn't want to deal with this matter.
On the third day, Wang Hao received a reply from Wang Guang, and the content was very simple.
"The letter has been received, the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, and the unsheath is sharp. ”
Looking at the letter paper in front of him, Wang Hao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"I understand that since it has been exposed, there is no need to hide it. ”
Wang Hao's gaze is very firm, Taoguang is indeed the way to survive, but people can't be without edge.
After getting the reply, most of the stones in Wang Hao's heart were put down, and there was no need to hide it.
However, he still did not agree to anyone's invitation and stayed in the Hou Mansion all the time.
However, it didn't take long for someone to visit, and the originally closed door of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was also opened.
