Chapter 101: The Divine Decree (1)
This time, he went out of Beijing to the domain to deliver the decree, and it was a serious imperial court official Qipin Imperial History.
The official positions of the imperial historians are not high, only seven grades, but they are humble and powerful, and they have the right to play when they hear the wind. Most of them are young and hot-blooded. They were also the group of officials who were most in favor of containing the feudal kings and weakening the power of the feudal domains.
The imperial historian surnamed Meng, who went to Beihai County to spread the decree, is in the thirties of this year, which is the prime of men.
Meng Yushi was twenty-two years old, and then spent two years in the Hanlin Academy, and at the age of twenty-four, he became the imperial history. Quick-witted, sharp-tongued, and a pen is very good. Talking to people...... No, it's that I have never lost when confronting people in the court.
He impeached six Shangshu, impeached the clan, and impeached the noble generals. In short, everyone had a headache when they saw him, and they wanted to avoid him.
People give the nickname "ghost sorrow".
I don't know who secretly greeted the imperial historian who was in charge of the imperial history platform, this ghost saw Meng Yushi, received the holy decree out of Beijing, and went directly to Beihai County.
Meng Yushi had long looked at the King of the North Sea unpleasantly. He and the King of Beihai have no personal grudges, but the death of the first emperor and the death of the King of Beihai did not come to the capital to mourn, which is really infuriating. Meng Yushi was the first to impeach the King of the North Sea. It's just that Beihai County is too far away from the capital, and a stinking curse has not reached the ears of the King of Beihai.
This time, he received the holy decree to go to Beihai County to preach the decree, and Meng Yushi was very satisfied.
Finally, I can scold the King of the North Sea to my face.
There is also the rumored unruly prince of the North Sea, Hmph, wait and see!
"Meng Yushi," the more than 100 small leaders of the Praetorian Guards who accompanied the escort came over: "The weather is hot and dry, and the people are tired and tired all the time, so it is better to go to the front post house to rest!"
Meng Yushi, who was sitting in the carriage, poked his head out: "It's only been half a day, when will you rest?" Hurry up, and don't delay such a great thing as the proclamation. β
The little boss was mercilessly dug back in front of Meng Yushi, and he was so angry that he scolded his mother.
Meng Yushi sat in the carriage, no need to bask in the sun or blow the wind, and had tea to drink when he was thirsty. These Janissaries, all on horseback, were basking in the sun for a day!
Seeing that the little leader didn't move, Meng Yushi said coldly with a straight face: "Didn't you hear what this Yushi said?" Continue on your way. β
The little boss had to bow his head and accept his orders.
β¦β¦
Ten days later.
Beihai Palace.
The king of Beihai, whose condition had "greatly improved", paced slowly in the courtyard with the support of his two daughters, and asked casually, "What about Chunsheng?" Why did you disappear early in the morning? β
Xu Ying and Xu Wan looked at each other and smiled: "Father, guess where did Chunsheng go?" β
It's a guess!
The king of Beihai smiled: "Let's go to Zhao's house again!" This spring student, since he was hired, ran to Zhao's house twice in three days. I don't know, I thought the Zhao family had an extra son-in-law! β
Xu Ying pursed her lips and smiled: "Chunsheng used to go as a student, and his name is not right. Now that you have an official marriage contract, you can meet your fiancΓ©e in a bright and open way, but you can't run diligently. β
Since returning to her parents' house to live, she doesn't have to face the mean mother-in-law's rude sister-in-law, Xu Ying's complexion is getting better day by day, and her speech is becoming more and more cheerful and funny.
The king of the North Sea loved his son, and he loved his daughter just as much. The four daughters were raised like jewels. Seeing Xu Ying's appearance, the King of Beihai was quite relieved: "Where did Ling Feng go?" β
Xu Ying smiled: "There are still two months left before the autumn season." He has been immersed in hard study recently, making articles every day, and today he deliberately went to the Zhao clan to learn and ask Master Zhao for advice. β
The King of Beihai nodded: "Zhao Yuanming is a famous Confucian in Qingzhou, and he was even in the third yuan back then. Ling Feng went to ask him for advice, and he couldn't help it. β
The king of Beihai walked around, sat down to rest, and looked at his youngest daughter Xu Guan: "Guan'er, why haven't you spoken today?" β
Xu Wan frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Father, I have been a little restless in the past two days, and I always have some bad premonitions. Without waiting for the king of Beihai to speak, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "The days are so smooth and peaceful, I am suspicious." β
As soon as the words fell, Liao Changshi of the vassal king's mansion hurried over.
This Liao Changshi is over forty years old, with a mediocre appearance, but he is shrewd and capable, and he is in charge of the foreign affairs of the palace. It can be called the right-hand man of the King of the North Sea.
"Lord Wang," Liao Changshi reported in a low voice: "Gonggong Ma in the palace sent someone to deliver a letter, and said that this letter was for the prince. β
Beihai King's eyelids jumped: "Where is the messenger?" Please come in. Immediately send someone to Zhaojiafang and ask the prince to return home. β
β¦β¦
What?
Ma Gonggong asked someone to send a letter?
When Xu Jing heard this, his brows moved, and he glanced at the soldiers who sent the message.
The pro-soldier was very clever, and immediately lowered his voice: "The prince only ordered the little one to invite the prince back to the house, and the little one doesn't know what is written in the specific letter." β
Xu Jing hummed with a heavy face: "I'll go back." β
As soon as he turned around, he looked like he was smiling again: "Sister Crescent, I have to go back to the house first." I'll come back tomorrow. β
Zhao Xiyan, who was dressed in a light pink summer dress, her cheeks were also set off pink, and her black eyes were clear and bright: "Gonggong Ma asked someone to send a letter, there must be something wrong in the palace." I'll go to the palace with you. β
Xu Jing: "......"
Zhao Xiyan can lip talk, he deliberately turned his back just now, but the personal soldier who sent the message faced it, no matter how low his voice was, Zhao Xiyan could "hear" it clearly.
Xu Jing coughed and tried to persuade Zhao Xiyan to change his mind: "What big things can be in the palace." Perhaps, Ma Gonggong is writing a letter to greet one or two. Don't go, stay in peace, I'll tell you if there's something important. β
Zhao Xiyan said: "Gonggong Ma took 100,000 taels of silver, something big happened, and it is natural for you to be reminded." Let's go! β
Xu Jing was a little helpless: "Crescent moon ......"
"Brother Chunsheng," Zhao Xiyan walked up to him, took the initiative to hold his hand, and his handsome face was clearly reflected in his dark eyes: "We are an unmarried couple, and we will be husband and wife for the rest of our lives." β
"I know you want to protect me, and you don't want me to worry about it. Rest assured, I'm not a delicate flower who can't stand the wind and rain. β
"Blessed are we. If it's difficult, I'll be with you. β
Xu Jing's eyes were hot, her eyes were a little red, she held her hand tightly with her backhand, and suddenly couldn't speak.
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled, reached out and took out a handkerchief, and wiped the corners of her eyes for Xu Jing.
Xu Jing cleared his throat and solemnly declared: "The wind is a little strong today, and sand blew into my eyes just now." β
Zhao Xiyan snorted, stood on tiptoe and blew his eyes for him: "Is it better now?" β
Xu Jing sniffed: "Okay." β
Zhao Xiyan smiled: "Then let's go to the palace and see what Gonggong Ma's letter says." β
Xu Jing nodded and walked out with her. The hand that held her was tightly gripped, and it never let go.
