Chapter 316 Your Majesty's Punishment
Zhu Fugui's feeling in his heart at this moment was like a thirsty person suddenly picked up a water gourd. After drinking hard, he found that the gourd was actually made of gold - it was really beautiful, and his whole body looked bright.
Eunuch Hong said some more words of encouragement, and then turned his head and said, "Your Holy Master still has the promotion and reward for General Lu, but since Major General Lu is not here, our family has to wait for the announcement in the future."
After he finished speaking, he paused. However, around, all the officials of Shuzhong Road and Pingxingfu were still kneeling on the ground and did not get up. They secretly said in their hearts that the imperial edict to Princess Wuyou had not been issued?
Even Yunshang was secretly wondering why his father-in-law stopped and didn't say anything?
The red father-in-law looked around, coughed, and said, "We still have two oracles here. Please come to receive the decree--"
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in congrue.
When will there be a prospective Lord Lian in Pingxing Mansion?
Yunshang was even more surprised and confused. She sent Kong Jie to intercept the imperial envoy in order to ask about the content of the imperial edict and discuss how to deal with it... However, she did not hear that the imperial edict was passed to Lian Zhun. Has the fact that Lian Zhun sneaked out of Beijing with her had long been noticed by Feng Ziqi? But he turned around a few times and knew that since the other party had called "Lord Lian Zhun", he couldn't avoid it after all, so he had to order someone to invite Mr. Lian Zhun to come.
When Lian Zhun appeared, the people who knew him began to talk quietly: "Isn't this the male pet brought by Princess Wuyou? When did you become an adult?"
The red prince couldn't care about that much. He directly read the imperial edict and said, "Today, the leader of the Yulin Imperial Guard, Lian, is allowed to sneak out of Beijing privately, and the crime should not be forgiven. However, he is lonely and generous, and his aunt thought that he had made contributions to his rebellion. He temporarily added the commander of the Yulin Imperial Guard, so that he was guilty and made contributions. "
Grandpa Hongqi just finished speaking, and the whole governor's mansion was silent. It was really audible if the needle fell to the ground. The commander of the Yulin Guard is the highest officer of the whole Yulin Guard. The official title is the third grade. But what's really horrible is not a three-grade position, but the meaning represented by the words Commander of the Yulin Guard!
These words represent the head wolf of a fierce wolf pack; and the officials present are all the lambs to be slaughtered. As long as the wolf speaks, beside the sheep, some evil wolves will not come out all the time, or even turn over the sheep's skin and rush out of the wolves, pounce on them, and eat them until there is no bone residue left!
At this point, the civil servants have no more thoughts about turning over the case for the governor. Your Majesty was really premeditated. Even the leaders of the Yulin Guards were sent here, not to kill the governor Feng Ziliang, but for what?!
The red father-in-law coughed a few more times, which was particularly abrupt in the silence. After coughing, he stopped for a while before saying, "Please ask Yunshang to kneel down on the south side of the southern road."
The hearts of all people who have been severely suppressed have been raised again. Others are all imperial edicts. Why is Yunshang an oracle? Is there anything else that has changed?
Ah? Yunshang looked at the red face that suddenly blushed in surprise. She has known the child for a long time... But she has never seen such an embarrassed look on his face?
Looking at Yunshang looking at himself like this, he didn't kneel down. Really...
Thinking like this, Grandpa Hongqi has been cruel and read it out quickly: "Mr. Louqing, do you know the guilt? On the day of the lonely decree, you can still kneel here and listen to the decree, which shows that the trip to Pingxing Prefecture is not dangerous, right? But Lou Qing, don't you remember what I said to you on the night of my trip? Don't take risks easily. What does the matter of Pingxing Mansion have to do with you? Do you want a rebellious supervisor to join in the fun? If you cross the border to exercise power, I will punish you a year's salary, and explain it to you face to face when you return to Beijing.
Another unexpected content! She informed her father-in-law of Kong Jie that if the imperial edict given to her can help her establish prestige in Shu, she will read it in public; otherwise, she will be given to her in private... However, in this edict, she will be fined for a year... I remember that when the edict to her father-in-law just talked about the edict to Lu Shen, didn't she say praise and promotion? Why is it her turn to be favored? In addition, this oracle is really too ambiguous. What is the night before leaving, what is the face-to-face explanation? It falls into the ears of people who have a heart, and those rumors are still...
Unexpectedly, she was still slandering the words here, but the red father-in-law was not finished. He dodged his eyes and said, "Your Majesty still has something for Princess Wuyou."
***
Unexpectedly, she was still slandering the words here, but the red father-in-law was not finished. He dodged his eyes and said, "Your Majesty still has something for Princess Wuyou."
So the officials of Shuzhong Road and Pingxing Prefecture all saw this scene: the general manager of the inner minister of the province, held an agarwood box inlaid with gold and jade inlaid with Huang Ling and respectfully presented it in front of Yunshang.
Yunshang also quickly picked it up respectfully. According to the usual practice, he opened the small box on the spot--
There is only one piece of yellow silk inside that is exactly the same as that on the outside tray.
What about things? Did you lose it on the road?
Everyone has such doubts.
Yunshang looked at the red father-in-law, then looked at the box, and finally asked, "Hong-in-law, is this box that your majesty rewarded?"
Is there any other meaning?
Unexpectedly, the red father-in-law lowered his eyebrows, pointed to the box and said, "It's not the box, it's the... handkerchief inside."
A handkerchief? Yunshang picked up the square yellow silk and opened it to have a look. It was square. What else was embroidered in the corner, but... the handwork was too rough? Are you sure it's an "embroidered handkerchief"? Not for the cushion box?
"Your Majesty said that he lost a bet with Princess Wuyou a long time ago, and he wanted to embroider a handkerchief for Princess Wuyou with his own hands..." Grandpa Hongqi's voice became lower and lower, but everyone present still heard it clearly. There was a gas pumping sound in the field.
Your Majesty's hand-embroidered handkerchief? This is no longer precious in the ordinary sense... Not to mention a one-year fine, or three levels in a row, it can't match the meaning of this square handkerchief... Countless eyes of officials stared at the handkerchief, almost burning a hole in the handkerchief.
Yunshang smiled, put the veil back into the box, and thanked him according to the rules. However... When he raised his head, he took a fierce look at the red father-in-law.
Does this dead eunuch give her eye drops in front of everyone? Fortunately, she sent Kong Jie from afar to follow it first. She was sure it was good news, and she also stuffed such a thick silver ticket to her father-in-law - she made such a scene in front of everyone. She thought she was not ashamed enough, and even the words embroidered by His Majesty himself came out!
The red father-in-law looked at Yunshang with only a wry smile. It's not that he doesn't know this kind of private oracle. He can announce it to Yunshang when he is alone, but... Yunshang stuffed him with so much money and asked him to improve his prestige for her - is there anything more fearful and enviable than His Majesty's favor? ...The most important thing is that if he can't help her, he is afraid that the silver he gets will fly again...
But it's good to have Lian Zhun on the side. After the end of the play of reading the imperial edict, no one came up and said anything to Yun Shang. Even Zhu Fugui did not come to ask to see what the "Your Majesty's hand-embroidered" veil looked like. Everyone's eyes were more focused on the enchanting Mr. Lian Zhun.
Legend has it that the spy leader of the Yulin Imprison Guard, who has never seen the light, has now been on the surface and has officially become the head of this terrorist organization. Although they were afraid, the officials couldn't help sneaking a few glances, and then hurriedly dodged before Lian Zhun's eyes turned back.
Looking at this situation, Yunshang couldn't help sighing in his heart. How did the beautiful man who used to be his male favorite suddenly become a flood beast that everyone feared?
The dinner is located in the most famous "Qingfeng Tower" in the city. However, only officials above the fifth grade are qualified to be present, and even Zhu Fugui's four-grade general status may not be qualified to participate in such a grand event. However, of course, it is different now. Even before the imperial envoy arrived, Pingxing Prefecture has faintly formed a new pattern headed by Zhu Fugui. As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the officials completely recognized this change.
In fact, what's the use of not recognizing it? Zhu Fugui was awarded the title of superintendent, and the soldiers in the whole city had long been controlled by him; the imperial envoy announced the decree to go to the governor's mansion where he lived; the emperor's favorite minister Yunshang had been a close friend with him - there were even rumors that the two were ambiguous; more importantly, the newly appointed Yulin imperial guard commander actually lived in his house. Zi Li! Although he just came with Princess Wuyou, it is clear that it is a military faction that supports Zhu Fugui? People with discerning eyes can see it.
The small group that the civil servants had just formed was completely broken, and the so-called memorial of the signatures of the officials had been quietly destroyed in the sleeves of the two political envoys.
The feast of Qingfeng Tower is almost a sign of the change of power in Pingxing Mansion. Few of the people invited dare to neglect it. They all arrive early, waiting to flatters the future power figures of Pingxing Mansion... except for two people.
Both of them were invited by Zhu Fugui and Zhu Pingxing's civil servants, and they were also the core of everyone's discussion at the dinner party. It can be said that the limelight was tight and everyone looked up to them--
However, neither of them appeared at the imperial envoy's banquet that night.
On the contrary, he went out of the city at night and came to the top floor of the tall Tengwang Pavilion outside Zhangjiangmen, overlooking the river.
A round of bright moon is slowly rising, sparkling and shining, bringing a layer of mythical color to the whole river. Under the moonlight, Tingzhu in the river can be faintly seen, which seems to be true, and the frost is flying.
Yunshang turned around, took the wine jar that had been placed on the table, patted the mud seal, and said with a smile, "This is the wine that General Zhu specially sent someone to get back from Li Jiadu. It has always had the reputation of 'smelt the fragrance and disembarking the horse' and 'knowing the taste'. I don't know if Mr. Lian Zhun is willing to drink it with me?"
