Xiao County, Anminfang.

The front of Liu's house was very lively, and the neighbors all over the city came to watch, and even the people on the outskirts of the city heard the wind and moved...

The angel from Nanjing arrived three days ago.

The edict of canonization of the Ming Dynasty arrived three days in advance, which was to let the edict giver fast and bathe, and at the same time notify the relatives to come to watch the ceremony, and the incense case or something should also be prepared.

Zhao Han was too lazy to modify this rule, but he was not forced to fast, nor would he be punished for any big disrespect because he didn't take a bath and change clothes.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"The angel has arrived!"

A group of officials came from the county government hotel, and a large number of people followed along the way.

Liu Mang and the Zou family, his son Liu Zongzu, and his daughter-in-law Li were cautiously waiting at the door, and the Li family was still holding one and holding the other.

Liu Mang had several children, but only one son and one daughter reached adulthood, and the others died of illness. The original wife also died of illness in Tianjin, and now his wife is a refugee who went south, separated from her family on the way to escape, and settled in a village with Liu Mang, and the peasant association made them reorganize their family.

Liu Mang is almost fifty years old, and his wife is less than thirty years old, and the old husband and young wife are quite affectionate.

As for the daughter, she was also widowed, and later remarried to a Datong soldier, and now lives in Gaizhou, Liaoning with her husband.

"Angels, please come in!" Liu Mang bent down to greet him.

"Please!"

Cui Yongdian didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile in return.

There are three main types of people who read the edict for the Ming Emperor: eunuchs, brocade guards or pedestrians.

Pedestrians are a must-have, generally served by the new branch jinshi, who is responsible for running errands for the emperor, and will be transferred to other places after two or three years, and most of them are transferred to six departments or six departments. Pedestrians go on business trips, or go out of Beijing to convey the holy decree, or escort resigned ministers back to their hometowns, or welcome the return of a certain official, or escort the prince to the local seal, and they have to record the process with a pen along the way.

As for the eunuchs or brocade guards, whether they are dispensable or not depends on the mood of the emperor.

The Datong Imperial Court, for the time being, only used pedestrians, and set up a pedestrian division in the cabinet. In the event of a task, he was temporarily filled by a member of the Zhongshu House, and then sent some palace guards to escort him.

The main reason is that Zhao Han has no eunuchs to call, and it is inconvenient for female officials, after all, they often trek through mountains and rivers.

After the reform, the main envoy was a pedestrian, and the deputy envoy was a guard.

Entering the courtyard, the deputy envoy Zhang Hong took out the holy decree, opened his voice and shouted: "Liu Mang takes the decree!" ”

"The minister is here!" Liu Mang bowed.

Cui Yongdian took the holy decree, opened it and read it: "Emperor Fengtian Yingmin, the system said: Rewarding virtuous and laborious people is the work of the imperial court, and repaying kindness is also the purity of people...... I fled the famine at a young age, and begged for food in Tianjin with my sister, but fortunately Liu Jun was allowed to enter the city without dying in the wilderness...... I specially named Liu Jun as the ...... of the bridge crossing"

This holy decree was written by Zhao Han himself, without using messy and difficult allusions, but just a very plain description of the situation at the time. Moreover, he does not call Liu Mang's name, but only uses "Liu Jun" to express respect.

It's just that the title is stingy, only an earl.

Cui Yongdian closed the holy decree and placed it upright on the desk.

Liu Mang took his family and knelt down towards the holy decree of the desk: "The minister's decree is grateful!" ”

After receiving the decree, Liu Mang took out the silver money and stuffed it into the hands of the officials who delivered the decree: "Everyone, forgive me, the lower officials don't have much savings......

"Don't do that!" Cui Yongdian hurriedly retreated.

Zhang Hong also stood beside him, not daring to accept Liu Mang's thank you.

Although there are no relevant regulations, the bunch of civil officials and guards next to them will inevitably have a bad impact on the emperor's ears. Especially Cui Yongdian, temporarily serving as a pedestrian, his real position is a Zhongshu houser, and he has a great future after being released, so he will not covet these small money.

Liu Mang could only get the money back, and asked his son and daughter-in-law to go to the door to throw money to share the celebration.

A lot of copper coins were scattered, but in fact, there were not many, and they were all exchanged for a silver dollar. But the people on the street went crazy, and those who only grabbed one or two copper coins also showed joy, because they could get rid of the emperor's spirit.

There were even neighbors who came over with hammers and wanted to smash the door of Liu's house.

The lintel has to be replaced, and it can be replaced with "Earl's First", the old rule handed down by the Ming Dynasty.

The officials in the county came over to congratulate one after another, and Liu Mang smiled happily.

In fact, he had forgotten, he didn't remember who he let cross the bridge, and he was even a little apprehensive in his heart: what if the emperor made a mistake?

The people outside the door took the robbed copper coins, but began to discuss:

"This good man has a good reward, he used to save people's lives, and now he is a lord."

"Then the emperor also has to remember his kindness."

"Your Majesty is also a good person, he became an emperor, and he still remembers his former benefactor. On the notice, in addition to this Lord Liu, I also want to find a woman from Tianjin. I don't know if she has found her. ”

"I'm afraid that when Your Majesty was begging for food, this woman gave me food."

"Your Majesty is also from a hard life, how old a child is, and he also took his sister to escape from the famine and ask for food. Fortunately, God blesses, Your Majesty and the princess are alive, otherwise how can we have a good life now? ”

"Otherwise, how can you say that the emperor is the true dragon emperor? God blessed all the way and sent the gods to protect him. This Lord Liu must also be the reincarnation of an immortal, who specially went down to earth to keep His Majesty safe. ”

"Most of them are immortals guarding the bridge in the heavenly court."

"Where is the bridge guarding in Heaven? When Liu Jueye was a fairy, he guarded the magpie bridge in the sky, and he had to let him go when the Cowherd and Weaver Girl met. ”

"Alas, I also fled from Tianjin, why didn't I meet Your Majesty back then?"

"Come on, you, Lord Liu is an immortal who received the will of the Jade Emperor to save the Son of Heaven. Even if you met Your Majesty back then, and Your Majesty knelt down and begged you to eat, would you really give it? ”

"Ahem, I will give, I will definitely give."

“……”

The herald team left, and Daoxi's neighbors poured in, and Liu Mang's face stiffened with a smile. In the evening, he was dragged to a banquet by the officials, and he drank all the meat and vegetables before returning home.

The whole family spread out the decree and looked at it as if in a dream.

Liu Zongzu couldn't help but ask: "Dad, what does the emperor look like?" ”

Liu Mang didn't wake up from drinking, and said in a daze: "How can I remember? Don't make a mistake about the Emperor. ”

"You can't be wrong." His wife Zou said busily.

"That's right, hehe, that's right." Liu Manghan said with a smile, he always felt that this matter was similar to going out to pick up money.

……

Xuzhou.

Zhao Zhenfang came to a small mansion, and the Chen family hurriedly saluted: "Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

"Auntie is well, is Uncle Wei at home?" Zhao Zhenfang asked.

Chen said: "Teach people to practice martial arts." ”

Zhao Zhenfang said: "Then I'll wait for him to come back." ”

Wei Jianxiong and Chen visited several provinces, but they could not find Chen's relatives. When you arrive in Xuzhou, you simply don't leave, and further north is Shandong, where many of the province's population are immigrants, and it is even more difficult to find someone.

A four or five-year-old child, looking at Zhao Zhenfang timidly, but Wei Jianxiong was the son of an old man.

In the evening, Wei Jianxiong finally returned home.

Seeing Zhao Zhenfang, Wei Jianxiong hurriedly said, "Meet the princess!" ”

"Uncle Wei, please get up quickly," Zhao Zhenfang asked the entourage to get the box, "This is sent by the imperial brother, one hundred taels of silver." His Majesty said in the letter that if Uncle Wei is willing to be an official, the imperial brother can arrange a military position. With Uncle Wei's talent, it is not a favoritism. ”

Wei Jianxiong took the box with a smile, it was quite heavy, and it was full of silver dollars: "The emperor gives the silver, let's take it, and the official will not do it." I have been an entourage for many years, but now I am idle and free. I was in Xuzhou, and I was the head of the big family's children, teaching them knives, guns, and sticks to be quite comfortable. If it weren't for this errand, I wouldn't have met Her Royal Highness. ”

Wei Jianxiong taught the children of wealthy families to practice martial arts, and occasionally borrowed the playground of Xuzhou Middle School to practice arranging troops when the school was not in class.

Zhao Zhenfang said: "Here is a letter from the imperial brother. ”

Wei Jianxiong opened the letter, looked at it and laughed, the content was mainly to recall the past, and invited him to Nanjing to sit by the way. If you don't want to Nanjing, write a reply letter, just let Zhao Zhenfang bring it over.

Wei Jianxiong asked as he wrote a letter: "The princess wants to return to Beijing?" ”

Zhao Zhenfang said: "The Mathematical Society and the Physics Society hold a conference in Nanjing every summer while the school is in the summer vacation. I haven't been there for two years, so I have to go this year anyway to exchange ideas with my friends. ”

Wei Jianxiong didn't understand these things, and he didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Zhenfang's research in mathematics and physics has never been left behind. Although she is not a genius, she corresponds with geniuses all year round and always follows them at the forefront of science.

There are also academic gains, Zhao Zhenfang discovered two mathematical theorems, which are nicknamed "princess theorems" by mathematical researchers.

Zheng Sen was a little jealous of this, and he suspected that Zhao Zhenfang wanted to go back to Nanjing to meet his original crush.

……

Nanjing, Forbidden City.

Liu Mang took his wife Zou and followed the palace maid step by step, and the majestic and deep palace walls made them uneasy.

After passing through a palace gate again, the palace inside was even more majestic, and Zou was so frightened that his body was trembling.

Liu Mang comforted in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the emperor doesn't eat people." ”

A carriage suddenly stopped, and the female driver, who was quite burly, stopped in front of them and said, "Please get in the car, two of you." ”

The Zou family was almost paralyzed, and Liu Mang could only help his wife up.

This kind of chariot in the palace can only be sat by the emperor and queen, and even the concubines are not qualified, and the two of them can be regarded as enjoying it.

After a circle around the palace wall, the chariot stopped outside the Imperial Garden.

After walking for a while, they could hear laughter, but it was Princess Rongfu Zhao Zhenfang who was teasing the little prince.

Princess Zhao Zhenlan of Defu was also there, relatively much quieter, smiling at her daughter and playing with several princes and princesses.

Several concubines are all playing in the imperial garden, and the seventh sister beckons everyone to taste pastries.

Seeing Liu Mang and his wife, Zhao Han got up with a smile: "Engong is here!" ”

Everyone stood up, this battle was too terrifying, and Liu Mang was also scared to the point that his legs and feet were weak.

In fact, Zhao Han didn't have any other thoughts, but he found his benefactor, remembered many past events when he was a child, and sent someone to invite Liu Mang to Nanjing to meet him in person.

"Junior minister Liu Mang, meet Your Majesty!" Liu Mang pulled his wife to salute.

Zhao Zhenfang said: "Sister, this is the benevolent father who saved me and my imperial brother in the first place. Without his permission, my brother and I would not have been able to cross the bridge, and we might have starved to death outside the city. ”

Zhao Zhenlan bent down and thanked: "Thank you for saving your life!" ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Liu Mang was really scared.

Zhao Han smiled: "Sister, don't scare people, invite them to come over and eat together." ”

The tea was served, all kinds of pastries were placed there, but Liu Mang was eating the pastries but fidgeting, and he didn't even know where to put his eyes.

The eldest prince Zhao Kuanghuan is seven years old, and in front of his younger brothers and sisters, he is a proper child king.

Huangcheng Primary School, after this summer vacation, will officially open, and it is estimated that it will be even more crazy when the time comes.

The dignitaries and gentry and businessmen in Nanjing City were all taking care of their relationships everywhere at this time, wanting to stuff their children into the Imperial City Primary School.

Huangcheng Primary School, it's all about relationships.

Only when they arrive at Huangcheng Middle School will they gather prodigies from all over the world, and they will come to study with the prince and daughter according to their strength.
