"Thank you to heaven, thank you to earth, thank you to Tu Shanyue, thank you to cctv," Yang Fan said seriously.
"Bah, there are no good words in your mouth." Xiao Niangpi gave him a hygienic eye. "What the hell is cctv."
"Ah, this is a theater in my hometown. They specialize in promoting famous actors of all kinds."
Yang Fan and Xiao Niangpi were chatting and laughing, and saw the large group of people crossing the bridge.
Leading the group was a group of more than 100 cavalrymen in splendid uniforms. Their helmets were bright and their flags were fluttering. They looked very imposing.
Behind him are the military attaches and retinue on horseback.
Behind is the civil servant riding a carriage.
Finally, there are the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who are escorting them.
There were more than five hundred people in the crowd.
I saw that the imperial mission had arrived at the bridge.
Inspector Xu quickly shouted: "Play music! Set off firecrackers!"
Immediately, more than a hundred advocates became busy.
The loud suona started playing, and the gongs and drummers also started beating quickly.
Wang Chengen, who was walking along the road, was tired and sleepy. He was squinting his eyes, half asleep, and half awake. Suddenly, a suona sounded from the ground, and the loud sound woke him up.
"What is this sound?" he exclaimed.
A young eunuch quickly opened the carriage curtain and took a look.
"Looking back to our ancestors, this is the drummer and band brought by Tu Shanyue and Yang Fanbaihu. They are playing music to welcome the imperial envoy."
Wang Chengen suddenly became excited. This was the first time that he received such a grand reception.
I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, but I still said with a calm face: "Nonsense, how could this happen? Your Majesty will scold me for harassing the place when I get back. It's too luxurious."
"Old ancestor, I see what you said, you are here as an imperial envoy, and you are here on behalf of the Long Live Lord. This Tushan stall is also loyal to the emperor and the court."
"Hey! You are a little monkey, but you can talk. This makes sense. Oh, when you say this, our family is also borrowing the influence of Lord Long live. Well, it is not overstepping. Mr. Tushan has a good tutor.
This little Master Tushan does things properly."
Wang Chengen knew that this little eunuch kept Tu Shanyong in his pocket, so he took advantage of every opportunity to say good things.
However, when he received such a grand reception, he had to express his gratitude and not accept it openly. This little monkey boy was also stepping down for himself.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of intensive firecrackers sounded.
With the playing of the suona, a festive atmosphere suddenly emerged.
Wang Chengen was even more satisfied, and he also felt good about Yang Fan.
Although the eunuchs had great power, they were physically disabled and had low self-esteem. At the same time, the real scholar-officials discriminated against them.
So they are particularly concerned about other people's attitudes towards them.
"Tu Shanyue, Yang Fan. Welcome the angels. Long live our emperor, long live the emperor."
As soon as the carriage crossed the bridge and stopped, the voices of Xiao Niangpi and Yang Fan were heard.
"Please Tushan Stall and Yang Baihu to lead the way and go to the main hall of the Chen Mansion to announce the decree." The little eunuch who spoke just now walked out of the car.
"Two adults, please rise." The little eunuch smiled with a smile on his face and winked at the little girl.
From the corner of his eye, Yang Fan saw Xiao Niangpi quickly stuffing a bag of silver into the little eunuch's sleeve. Looking at this proficiency, Yang Fan knew that the little eunuch was very familiar with Tu Shanyue.
The two men quickly got up and rode in front to guide the large group of people towards Chen Mansion.
The regiments on both sides of the road collectively shouted: "Long live our emperor, long live the Ming Dynasty."
Xu Xianchun and Luo Yangxing glanced at each other, and they both thought that this family named Yang was very good at flattering people.
As soon as the carriages and horses cross the bridge, the road immediately changes. The official road, which is two miles long, is built straight and shines with golden light under the bright sunshine at noon.
Huang Zongwang, director of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, was surprised when he looked at this road. After looking carefully, he found that it was a hardened road paved with fine sand. The horse's hooves were very soft when stepped on, and did not shake the buttocks at all. Riding a horse immediately became comfortable. The road surface looked like
It seems to be slightly curved, with the center higher and the sides lower.
The benefits of this kind of pavement are obvious at a glance. It is conducive to drainage. Rainwater will automatically flow along the pavement into the newly dug drainage ditches on both sides.
Along the way, everyone in the imperial mission was amazed at the two-mile-long stretch of road. It was beautiful, clean, and comfortable to walk on.
The imperial envoy and his entourage arrived at the gate of the Chen Mansion. Wang Chengen got out of the car with the help of the young eunuch and saw that the steps at the door were covered with a red carpet. The carpet was spread all the way to the main hall where the decree was announced.
A group of civil and military officials from the Imperial Envoy were all amazed. Carpets in this era were not cheap, and this was a very high courtesy. Everyone was immediately satisfied and had a good impression of Yang Fan.
In fact, this red carpet is very cheap. Yang Fan brought it to Hyundai as an event pavilion.
Yang Fan and Tu Shanyue welcomed the imperial envoy into the main hall, where the incense table had already been set up.
The little eunuch shouted: "Yang Fan of the Hundred Households of Zunhua Guard accepted the order."
Yang Fan quickly knelt down and said, "My lord, Yang Fan, accepts the order. Long live my emperor. Long live my emperor."
Wang Chengen saw Yang Fan holding the ceremony very respectfully and nodded with satisfaction.
Wang Chengen opened the imperial edict and began to read:
The Emperor, who was entrusted with the destiny of Heaven, issued this edict: I govern the world with letters and suppress chaos with force.
The military commanders and generals are the mainstay of the imperial court and the mainstay of the country.
He is able to be both civil and military, and he can do his best to achieve results, but his achievements can be wasted, and it is not good to favor his life.
You Zunhua defended Yang Fan of hundreds of households, wiped out bandits, stabilized the area, rested on top of the throne, and worked diligently on the king's affairs.
Unexpectedly, when I visited the border affairs, the Tartars and slaves repeatedly harassed me on the nine borders. Your aid, ancient and modern, was quite pastoral, and it was close to the outskirts of the capital.
I have given you the title of Zunhua Guard Qianhu, and Xi Zhi ordered you to perform in the theater, which will inspire the barbarians.
I am deeply attached to Yuan Rong's heroic achievements and announced to China. I use the bravery of Zhaolu cloth to smoke, temporarily Xiwu Bian, and add Pi achievements. I'm so impressed!
Yang Fan's level of ancient Chinese was limited, and he was dazed and didn't fully understand it.
This article quotes from classics, which is a bit obscure and difficult to understand.
On the other hand, I understood it when I was promoted to Qianhu Official.
"Your Majesty, Yang Fan, thanks you for your kindness."
After announcing the decree, Wang Chengen smiled and took Yang Fan's hand and said affectionately: "Yang Qianhu is really a heroic young man. The 18-year-old Qianhu official has spent more than two hundred years since Emperor Taizu established his empire. So are you."
The first one."
"Yang Fan is so virtuous and capable. I cannot bear to receive such praise from my father-in-law." Yang Fan quickly said modestly.
"You deserve it, you deserve it. Lord Long Live said it himself before I came here. Yang Qianhu is a young hero. Don't be humble."
After Wang Chengen and Yang Fan exchanged greetings, they began to introduce to Yang Fan one by one the civil and military officials who came with them this time. The first person to introduce was Xu Xianchun, the governor of Fusi Town, Jinyiwei North Town.
This is Yang Fan's nominal superior. After all, Yang Fan's current military status is Jinyiwei.
Although Tiaodongchang is in charge, the household registration book is still under the control of others, and there are many things to deal with throughout the life of weddings and funerals.
"I have met Mr. Xu." Yang Fan quickly saluted with clasped fists respectfully.
"Haha, you're welcome, Yang Qianhu. I'm here mainly to take charge of escorting criminals to Beijing and investigating the case of Chen Jiatong bandits. Your Majesty has a decree. This time, Yang Qianhu will be escorted back to Beijing with troops. Please also invite Yang Qianhu
Hu worked hard all the way and followed me back to Beijing to resume my mission."
Xu Xianchun is a more elegant person, and he wants to be a scholar. Yang Fan thought to himself, this Xu Laohu doesn't look evil at all.
