Chapter 48: The princess is here(1/2)
As soon as he heard that an imperial edict had arrived, Yue Su quickly asked: "Where is it?"
When everyone nearby heard that the imperial edict had arrived, they turned around and saw a soldier outside the crowd bowing and saying, "Sir, we are waiting outside."
"Lead the way!" Yue Su didn't have time to pay attention to King Fu now. He stepped aside and walked past King Fu. Anyone who dared to block the way of King Fu's attendants got out of the way.
For everyone present, although the imperial edict is not for them, as long as they hear it, they must go and kowtow. And everyone also intends to listen to what the edict is. Those who are gloating about misfortune and still praying in their hearts are for it.
Yue Su's decree to dismiss from office and punish him. Thinking of this section, I feel even more enlightened.
When King Fu heard this, he had to go, because what vassal kings like them feared the most was to have someone write a book and say he was disrespectful. So he asked his retinue to carry him and hurried over.
Arriving at the entrance, the people here had been cleared aside, leaving an empty space. Yue Su saw at a glance a man wearing eunuch clothes standing in the middle. Next to him, there was also a Han general. The most important thing was
What's more, Yue Su knew this eunuch who was delivering the edict. He was none other than Liu Mingguo.
Behind Liu Mingguo, there was a guard of honor, but the style did not seem to match the status of Eunuch Liu. Yue Su was wondering who this guard of honor belonged to, but a graceful and luxurious woman stepped out of the car. The woman was in the maid
, surrounded by guards, slowly walked towards this side. Before he got close, Yue Su recognized the person, but it was Princess Mu Tianjiao.
Liu Mingguo was not in a hurry to read out the imperial edict, and seemed to be waiting for the people to gather. When Zou Jiaren, Wang Linhe, Shi Tong, Shi Wen and other higher-ranking officials were raised behind Yue Su one after another, even Prince Fu came to Yue Su's side, and Mu Tian
When Jiao walked aside, Eunuch Liu took out the imperial edict and shouted loudly: "Henan Governor Yue Su takes the edict!"
"Your Majesty, Yue Su, accept the order!" Yue Su said, and he knelt down first. Other officials and gentry also knelt down quickly, especially the people around him. King Fu Qiantai was too fat and had some inconvenience in moving, but it was still fun.
one time.
"In accordance with the destiny of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: Yin Yuesu of the Shuntian Prefecture was ordered to patrol Henan. When the national treasury was empty, he used fifty thousand taels of silver to provide relief to the people and rebuild the river works. He shared the emperor's worries at the top and relieved the people from hanging upside down. I take credit for it.
He is so great that he is truly a role model for all officials. Now I specially designate Yue Su as the Crown Prince's Shaobao. I appreciate this."
"Your Majesty, Yue Su, accepted the decree and thanked you. Long live my emperor!" After Liu Minguo finished reading the decree, Yue Su raised his hands and thanked him loudly.
Everyone else also shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor!"
Liu Mingguo closed the imperial edict, walked to Yue Su, handed the edict into Yue Su's hands, smiled and stretched out his hand to support him, and said: "Congratulations to Mr. Yue for being promoted to Crown Prince Shaobao. Sir, please get up. The emperor has been thinking about you these days.
Before leaving, I told you to ask the adults when the disaster relief work will be completed and rush back to the capital." Then he took the robe, crown and belt of the first-rank prince Shaobao from the Han general and presented them to Yue Su.
After Yue Su took it, he handed it to Tie Qiu and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will basically be able to complete the disaster relief and return to the capital before the beginning of spring."
"The younger one will tell the emperor exactly what he said. After not seeing each other for many days, Yue Shaobao has become a little thinner. I guess he must be tired from working hard for disaster relief. If the emperor sees it, he will definitely feel distressed." Liu Mingguo said with a smile.
.
"It is the duty of a minister to serve the country wholeheartedly." Yue Su said humbly.
Liu Mingguo said polite words to Yue Su again, then walked up to Prince Fu, bowed and said: "I wish Prince Fu a thousand years of blessings, and may Prince Fu live a long life. I was busy delivering the decree just now, and I didn't have time to greet Prince Fu. I hope you don't
Condemn."
King Fu had already sat down and stepped on the throne, and said: "You have the emperor's orders, so it is right to get busy with business first. What's the crime? I'm sorry, sir." After saying that, he waved his hand.
Eunuch Qian, who was standing next to him, immediately took two steps forward, came to Liu Mingguo, took out two ingots of gold from his arms, put them into Liu Mingguo's hands, and said with a smile: "You have been tired all the way, this is the prince's reward."
your."
Liu Mingguo was delivering the decree to Yue Su, but Yue Su didn't reward him with a penny, but Prince Fu rewarded him first. Prince Fu is not short of money, and the eunuchs from Beijing will basically give you rewards and won't pay you back.
Jing went to say something good, I just ask you not to say anything bad. And looking at Liu Minggao's robe today, it's of high quality, so I won't be negligent.
Eunuch Liu smiled and put the gold into his sleeve and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward."
While he was talking to Prince Fu, on the other side, Zou Jiaren, Wang Linhe and others immediately congratulated Yue Su. "Congratulations to Master Yue for being promoted to Shaobao." "Congratulations to Yue Shaobao."...
Seeing that Yue Su is so favored by the emperor, he kills all over Henan, and even wins the title of Shaobao, who wouldn't flatter him? Don't look at the smiles on these people's faces, they are all cursing secretly in their hearts, not him.
The villain succeeds, which means that the emperor and the cabinet bosses are blind, and they can allow such a guy who doesn't know how to be an official to become such a big official.
You must know that some officials will never get such honors as "Three Lords" and "Three Young Masters" after working for a lifetime. Yue Su was not even thirty yet, and he was already named the Prince Shaobao. From a first-class official position, why not call him
Envy, jealousy and hatred.
It's useless to be jealous or hateful. Everyone can clearly see that when the eunuch who delivered the order met Yue Su, he was very polite and respectful, and he didn't even dare to call himself our family.
All the ladies came to the meeting with their families. At first, these people thought that "Yue Shatou" would be an old guy. After all, one has to be nearly fifty years old to hold the position of chief envoy, let alone a governor.
As a result, the reality shocked them. The dignified governor was not even thirty, and he had just been promoted to the title of Prince Shaobao.
Originally, most of these young ladies were vain. At first, they laughed at the name "Yue Shatou" with their friends and said something about how Yue Su didn't understand being an official. But their attitude at this moment was 180 degrees different.
Turning around, I wish I could marry Yue Su. Which girl doesn't have a child, and which girl doesn't admire heroes. The nickname "Yue Shatou" has become synonymous with heroes in their hearts. Some are even thinking about it, if they can marry
Yue Su will be so glorious. Now everyone starts from the first-grade Crown Prince Shaobao. Looking at the momentum, she can be promoted to his wife. Will she be named the first-grade imperial wife in the future?
I wanted to think about it, but none of these ladies from the ladies dared to come forward and say hello. After all, this was the etiquette at that time. At best, they could only peek at Yue Su from a distance.
After these officials congratulated them, they all retreated again. This time Mu Tianjiao came over and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Yue for being promoted to Shaobao. I haven't seen you for more than a year. It's really gratifying that you have become a highly respected minister."
Congratulations, admirable."
"Thank you so much, Princess. Your Majesty Su Meng loves you so much. I am very grateful. I feel guilty for holding such a high position." Yue Su is now the Crown Prince Shaobao. With his current rank, he can no longer be called a lower official in front of the Princess.
It's a little inappropriate to call myself the Headquarters, so I can only call myself by my first name.
"Your Excellency, you are too modest. When you were in Guizhou, you repeatedly solved strange cases and successfully suppressed rebellions. Now you are ordered to provide disaster relief and share your Majesty's worries. As the imperial edict says, you are a role model for all officials. You deserve this honor.
"Mu Tianjiao praised again.
The two were talking passionately, and the officials on the side also became jealous. Not to mention Mu Tianjiao's unparalleled elegance, and her ceremonial guard also symbolized her status. Everyone wondered how someone like Yue Su, who didn't know how to be an official, could still
Establish a relationship with the princess.
Originally, today was the Dragon Gate Meeting, and the protagonists were the two academies competing against each other, and the Fu Wang Chitose who planned to ridicule Yue Su. However, due to an imperial edict, Yue Su's status was further improved, and he was promoted to Shaobao in full view of the public.
Stealing all the limelight.
Seeing that the opening time had passed, the prefect Shi Tong walked up to Yue Su and said with a flattering smile: "Sir, the opening time of the Dragon Gate Club is already a little past. Do you think we can start now?"
"Ah... If you don't mention this, the headquarters has forgotten to inform everyone, go back and take your seats, let's start." After saying that, Yue Su said to Mu Tianjiao: "I don't know why the princess is here, I think she must be here at the Mulongmen Meeting
Come in the name of."
"As your Excellency said, I had some free time in this county and traveled around. When I arrived in Henan, I heard that there was a Dragon Gate Society in Luoyang today, so I came here to have a look. I didn't expect it, but I met you here and got promoted. I'm really lucky." Mu
Tianjiao said with a smile.
Shi Tong nodded and bowed and said: "My lord, let me go and inform the others to sit down." After saying that, he cupped his hands towards Mu Tianjiao and said with a smile: "I don't know that the princess is here, so I didn't give you any advice.
The princess specially prepared the stand, otherwise, the official will give up his stand to the princess..."
"No need." Mu Tianjiao said calmly: "I just came to watch the excitement. I think there should be some free seats in Yue Shaobao's stand. I'll just sit there."
"Yes, yes..." Shi Tong nodded quickly and retreated, then ran to Prince Fu again.
Prince Fu was currently inquiring about the situation in the capital with Liu Mingguo, asking about things similar to the emperor's body to show his uncle's concern for the emperor.
Shi Tong came to the edge and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Dragon Gate Conference will start soon. I wonder if Your Majesty will go in and take a seat now."
"Okay." Prince Fu nodded and said, "Eunuch Liu, it's not easy for you to come all the way to Luoyang. Why don't you accompany me here to see the Dragon Gate Club? When it's over, I will hold a banquet at the palace.
To catch the wind for my father-in-law."
"Don't you dare bother me, Your Majesty? After delivering the order, I was eager to return to the capital and resume my duties. I really don't dare to stay for a long time. I will take my leave now and go over to say hello to Yue Shaobao before returning to the capital." Liu Minguo said with a smile on his face.
"Official matters are more important. Since the father-in-law said so, the lonely king will stay here soon. By the way, Qian Banban, when the father-in-law Liu leaves, he will pass through Luoyang. You can give him a ride for me and pick up some local specialties from the house.
, Go back a little while for your father-in-law." Prince Fu said.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Prince Fu went out to watch the Dragon Gate Reunion this time, but he didn't know that a eunuch was coming, so he didn't bring much money with him. Just giving Liu Mingguo two gold ingots as a reward was really a bit shabby for him as a prince. So, let's,
Eunuch Qian returned home and gave Liu Mingguo a backup gift.
Eunuchs are all greedy for money, and Liu Mingguo is no exception. He bowed and said with a smile: "The prince has already rewarded me. If he rewards me again, I will be ashamed to deserve it."
"It's a small thing, it doesn't mean anything. After you return to the capital, just remember to greet the emperor on my behalf." Prince Fu said carelessly.
"This is natural, this is natural..."
After Liu Mingguo finished speaking, he said goodbye to Prince Fu and went to Yue Su's place to say farewell. After saying a few more polite words, he followed Eunuch Qian to Luoyang.
Yue Su, King Fu and others entered the square one after another. It stands to reason that in previous years, King Fu would give the opening speech. Although Yue Su came this time, he was not wanted to come on stage. However, Yue Su had just been sealed.
As the prince's younger brother, Shi Tong's favor was even greater, and Shi Tong came rushing over again, hoping that Yue Su would come on stage and act as a judge.
Yue Su didn't like this kind of scene very much, so he politely declined and let Shi Tong take charge. As for being a judge, Yue Su was not in the mood to do it. He was already a bit average, so it was embarrassing.
Next, everyone boarded the stand one after another. Yue Su took his men, Mu Tianjiao, and Zhu'er to the stand. Along the way, Jin Chan and his gang also had to congratulate their masters. Now this group of people, even more
He felt that following Yue Su was very promising. Wang Linhe originally did not plan to share the stage with Yue Su. He wanted to sit next to the prince. It can be seen that Zou Jiaren went to Yue Su's stand, thinking that Yue Su had just become the prince's young bailout, so it would be less offending.
For the better, I just followed him nonchalantly.
After all the guests had boarded the stand, King Fu Chitose went on stage first and gave a few words of useless encouragement, and then Shi Tong went up and announced the start of the Dragon Gate Conference.
After the beginning, academicians from the two academies came out to speak. However, Sun Shenxing came from Dongming Academy. How could the academician steal Master Sun's spotlight? Naturally, he gave up the opportunity to speak. Sun Shenxing did not show up just now, but just sat there.
In the stands on the Dongming Academy side, when the imperial edict arrived, he pretended not to hear it.
Now he came on stage to speak, which immediately aroused enthusiastic responses from the scholars present. Yue Su saw Sun Shenxing's appearance in the stands, but he didn't care. Sun Shenxing finished speaking to the academicians of Longmen Academy, and the competition was about to begin.
The two colleges each sent students to compete on stage, and the competition was naturally about poetry and poetry.
To be continued...
