At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Liu Xia had just returned to Tongtian Villa. Before he could visit Dabao, the urgent imperial edict arrived from thousands of miles away.
Those officials who heard that Liu Xia had returned to the city safely rushed to visit him, but they happened to bump into him.
After Wangjiapu was destroyed, Liu Xia's prestige in the northwest increased unprecedentedly.
No one dared to treat him as an unfounded prince. After all, Liu Xia held the power of life and death in their hands.
Liu Xia seemed to have guessed that the imperial edict was coming. When he returned to the house, he took a bath and changed clothes, prepared an incense table and waited.
At first, the servants were puzzled, but not long after, after the officials swarmed in, the imperial decree arrived.
At this moment, the hall was packed with people, and no one had time to flatter him, so they all knelt behind the incense table to receive the order.
Liu Xia knelt at the front, head lowered.
"Blessed by Heaven
The emperor's edict said: I govern the world with literature and fight chaos with force. The military commanders and generals are the mainstay of the imperial court and the stronghold of the country. The Liang family has been loyal and loyal from generation to generation, and their character and conduct are
He is good at both civil and military affairs, but his achievements can be wasted by his efforts, and he cannot be favored by his favor. However, Prince Wei blocks the way of speech, is paranoid and cruel, and harms the loyal and good. I am heartbroken and heartbroken.
It is hereby evaluated that the charges are true. All powers have been stripped away, and Huilongdu is at his disposal. Liang Youshi has accumulated good deeds and is a simple and honest person. He is diligent in the country and the people, and has great righteousness in the world. According to the report of the Chief Envoy of your local official,
Bi Rui, a simple and honest scholar, has a rich family background, helps the villagers, his righteousness is commendable, and his latent virtues should be demonstrated. I am hereby edicting you to be a righteous official and a great scholar, who will be crowned with honors and honored by heaven.
The decree decrees the end of the twelfth month of the thirty-fifth year of Tianji Tianbao."
When the imperial edict was read out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
However, Liu Xia seemed to have guessed it a long time ago. He raised his head and raised his hands and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live my emperor."
At that moment, the eunuch who announced the edict put the imperial edict into Liu Xia's hands.
At this moment, Liu Xia raised his head and glanced at the eunuch.
The eunuch in front of him was very old, but his eyes were as bright as sharp knives.
She has a hooked nose, wide lips, a thick layer of makeup on her face, and a somewhat feminine look between her eyebrows.
Moreover, there was an extremely strong smell of spices on his body.
"Prince Wei, I'm afraid you don't know the Za family yet."
At this moment, the old eunuch who announced the decree lowered his head and said with a smile.
But the eunuch's voice was very sharp, neither male nor female, and Liu Xia couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, Zhang Tianhu, who was kneeling on one side, hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is Eunuch Wang, the chief steward of the imperial palace."
Liu Xia didn't know much about the affairs of the inner court, but the person in charge of the imperial palace should be the person closest to the emperor.
"Haha, it turns out to be the prince. I'm glad to meet you."
Liu Xia smiled and said pleasantly.
"Your Majesty, please take a moment to speak."
At this time, the prince suddenly laughed in a low voice.
"My lords, I am not feeling well today. Please come back."
Liu Xia held the imperial edict in his hand and said with a stern face.
At this moment, these officials were eager to leave immediately.
Because this imperial edict has made it very clear.
First, he denounced Liu Xia and Wang Jiazhongliang, and ordered him to return to Longdu to accept his guilt. Then he appeased the Liang family and gave them some rewards.
Naturally, these officials were eager to clear their relationship with Liu Xia quickly to avoid being implicated.
In just a moment, all these officials left completely. At this moment, they were probably all thinking about how to send Liu Xia off.
At this moment, only Zhang Tianhu and Liu Xia were left in the hall.
Just as Zhang Tianhu was about to leave, Wang Eunuch smiled and said: "Master Zhang, please stay, there is another secret order from the Holy One."
Zhang Tianhu was suddenly startled and quickly knelt down on the ground.
However, Liu Xia's face didn't seem to change much, and he immediately knelt down respectfully.
"The emperor ordered Prince Wei to continue to thoroughly investigate the rebellion among the sects in the northwest and completely eliminate the evil sect's rebel party. The tiger talisman is specially given to control the northwest frontier army."
Having said this, the prince carefully took out a jade box and handed it to Liu Xia.
Zhang Tianhu saw the jade box and immediately understood the purpose of the imperial edict.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness."
Liu Xia immediately kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.
"Haha, get up. Prince Wei, I have wronged you this time. But the fact that the Holy One can hand over all the tiger talismans to you shows that he has extreme trust in the prince. Oh, even the Miscellaneous Family is jealous."
"It is my duty to share the worries of Your Majesty. I also ask your father-in-law to go back and report to Your Majesty, saying that I will definitely live up to his high expectations."
"Haha, that's good, that's good. I will definitely bring the message to you. However, it's getting late, and I have to go to the Liang family to announce the decree. I won't stay here for long."
With that said, the prince turned to leave.
At this time, Zhang Tianhu hurriedly gave Liu Xia a wink.
Liu Xia understood immediately and hurriedly smiled and said, "I'll see my father-in-law off."
When he was about to leave the hall, Liu Xia took out a jade talisman from his Qiankun bag and placed it in the palm of his hand.
"Father-in-law, please stay."
Having said this, he held the prince's hand.
Eunuch Wang felt his hands go cold, so he understood, cupping his fists and saying, "Your Majesty, you're welcome."
"It's nothing. My father-in-law works in boats and carriages, so I should give him a little thought."
"If that's the case, I won't be polite. Your Majesty will stay and don't dare to see you off anymore. Take your leave."
With that said, the prince left with a group of people.
After seeing off the prince, Liu Xia turned around and returned to the hall.
Sitting on the chair, he slowly opened the jade box in his hand. Lying quietly inside was a token made of a very special material, neither gold nor jade.
There are many talismans engraved on this token, and it looks like something that has been trained by the Yin Yang Master.
It's just that there is only half of the token, and the remaining half is 80% in Zhao Yong's hand.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty gave you all the tiger talismans, which shows that Your Majesty has great trust in you."
Zhang Tianhu smiled hurriedly.
Although there had been an imperial edict before, Liu Xia had the authority to mobilize the northwest border garrison, but he had to obtain Zhao Yong's consent.
After all, Zhao Yong is the real commander-in-chief of the northwest border guard army.
And with this tiger talisman, it means that even Zhao Yong must obey Liu Xia's orders unconditionally.
Because the tiger talisman is an imperial edict, like the emperor's personal presence.
"Forget it, let's still think about how to sing this play well."
Liu Xia didn't seem very excited and said thoughtfully.
"Looking at the prince's expression, Wei Chen seems to have guessed that the imperial edict has returned. Why?"
Zhang Tianhu asked softly.
"I can see the problem, and I think the Holy One can also see it. If I don't leave, the Liang family will be very careful. If the Holy Religion is not eliminated, he will be like a light on his back, so he will never sit idly by and ignore it.
.This time the Holy One means to eradicate the Holy Religion at all costs. He demoted me and praised the Liang family, just to make the Liang family relax their vigilance. This time, the Holy One really has thoughts of killing."
Liu Xia is a calm analyst.
"No wonder the prince has won the Holy Heart alone, and the humble ministers feel inferior."
"Huh, come on, you are like a mirror in your mind. If it weren't for you, how could the Holy Master know the situation in the northwest so well? Go and let the wind go. I will leave Weiyang at noon tomorrow and return to Longdu."
Having said this, Liu Xia stood up and walked outside.
Zhang Tianhu looked at Liu Xia's back, couldn't help but smile, and then turned around and walked into the hall.
After coming out of the hall, go straight to Dabao's room.
After a few days of cultivation, Dabao's spirit has recovered a lot.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard his familiar touch.
"Let me go, what does this smell like?"
Liu Xia opened the door and asked, covering her nose.
Dabao leaned against the bed, rubbed his feet, put them to his nose and smelled them, and then leaned against his gums with satisfaction, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
However, his whole body was soaked with sweat, and it was obvious that the action just now hurt him enough.
"Ah, your boy is back alive?"
Dabao smiled disdainfully.
"Forget it, it's a narrow escape. By the way, we're afraid we have to leave here."
Liu Xia raised his head and smiled.
"What are you thinking about, kid?"
Dabao was stunned. The holy religion in the northwest had not been eradicated yet, so Liu Xia would not leave. Now that he said this, Dabao was a little confused.
Then Liu Xia briefly described what happened, and Dabao couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Let me go, are you saying that there really is a heavenly demon? And you have lost your memory?"
"Yes, I'm thinking that while I'm away this time, I'll find a way to sneak into the Holy Cult. Otherwise, I'll never be able to completely eradicate them. How is your injury?"
Liu Xia asked.
"It is estimated that it will take another month to take action."
"Okay, then I'll leave you at Zhao Yong's place, and you can help me act as an internal response there. We'll make plans after your injury recovers."
As soon as I said this, I heard a servant outside shouting: "Your Majesty, there is a man outside who claims to be your brother asking to see you."
"brother?"
Liu Xia was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, apart from Dabao, where else are there brothers in the northwest?
"Let him in."
Liu Xia said in confusion.
A moment later, Liu Xia heard the sound of brisk footsteps, and then she looked up and couldn't help but feel happy.
The person who came was none other than Situ Qingcang from Yunwu Villa.
But Situ Qingcang walked to the door, suddenly stopped, frowned and said angrily: "What is this smell?"
"Haha, why is it you?"
Liu Xia quickly stood up and asked loudly.
"The common people meet the prince..."
Situ Qingcang was about to salute when Liu Xia stopped him.
Then Liu Xia was stunned. He called himself a grassroots citizen and asked involuntarily: "You came out of Yunwu Villa? Is Senior Situ willing to let you go?"
"Don't mention it, I ran out secretly. You don't mean what you say. Have you forgotten what you said at Yunwu Villa that day?"
When Liu Xia heard this, she couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
When I was at Yunwu Villa, I promised him that I would take him out to explore the world together.
As a result, all plans were disrupted by a sudden imperial edict.
"Everything in the world is unpredictable, but once it comes, let's make peace with it. What I lack most now is manpower. You came just in time. How about the three of us joining forces this time to do something big?"
Situ Qingcang smiled excitedly and said, "That's what I'm here for. Tell me, what are you going to do?"
"Come, come here, I will tell you my plan in detail. I will try to destroy the Holy Religion in one fell swoop this time."
At that moment, the three people gathered together.
