"Li Wei!" Prince Gong Yi scolded, and then his father put down his hand that was about to incite Li Ningyu, and continued to lie on the ground: "Li Wei is reckless!".
At this time, Prince Gong Yi seemed to be no longer interested in Li Wei, but started his first confrontation with Li Ningyu. At this time, Li Ningyu also looked up at him, and then he said: "Okay, let's talk about it.
First, how did you manage to win over the assistants of the British and German ministers? Second, why did your servants dare to beat the officers and soldiers of the patrol camp at will?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Ningyu immediately understood in his mind that it turned out to be just this matter. Li Ningyu thought it was about buying opium and buying guns. Then Li Ningyu said confidently: "Report to the prince! In fact, I
The relationship with the assistants of the ministers of the two countries was mainly in the name of the prince. The servants beat the patrol camp because they were doing evil things, and after the servants informed them of their identity, they also casually insulted the reputation of the prince."
Next, perhaps because he was satisfied with Li Ningyu's answer, or perhaps for other reasons, Prince Gong waved his hand for us to leave, and just as we left, Prince Gong, who was about to return to the study, said to himself:
"This son will definitely be extraordinary from now on! Haha! But fortunately, he will always be the son of my palace steward, okay! I will help you, hoping not to embarrass me, huh, if you embarrass me
, I want your life."
In the next few days, Li Ningyu was trapped at home by his father, but it didn't matter. He could just organize his thoughts and prepare for the follow-up matters, accompany his mother, and practice martial arts with Gege from time to time, but he didn't expect that it had only been a few days.
After that, it was rare that his father finally let Li Ningyu go to the street. Li Ningyu was walking with Tie Bing on the street. Unexpectedly, his father Li Mei hurriedly called him back. After returning to the old house, he heard carefully that it was a while ago.
An imperial edict is about to be sent to the palace.
At first, Li Ningyu was a little dumbfounded, because after all, Li Ningyu was from a later generation. Regarding the imperial edict, Li Ningyu just thought that it would be enough to follow the instructions and said: "That's it. Why are you so anxious to call me back?"
It’s going to be over for you next time.”
Upon hearing what Li Ningyu said, his father was so angry that he stamped his feet and seemed ready to incite Li Ningyu again. However, after thinking about it, he still did not incite him and said, "What is this? Ah! This is many times more important than a wedding or a funeral."
Things! Imperial decrees! It’s just a feudal minister’s family, and it can only happen once a year at most!”
At this time, the mother, who was already a little off the ground, also joined in and said: "Li Wei, the child is not sensible, and you are not sensible either?" After scolding, the mother said again: "Li Wei, the imperial envoys are about to arrive.
It's already at the door, why don't you two go change your clothes?"
Then Li Ningyu was pulled towards the bedroom by his father. At this time, his father did not forget to say to his mother: "I want to seal a bag of silver!", and then he pulled Li Ningyu into the bedroom without stopping. His mother watched.
The father and son smiled and turned around and went to the accounting room to get a 50 tael silver ingot.
"This is fifty taels! What does Madam do for so much?" the accountant asked in confusion, and then the mother told her about the imperial edict. The accountant immediately asked in surprise: "Then I will exchange gold for Madam immediately, that
Much lighter.”
The mother just smiled and cursed: "What should I change for? This is the amount I want!".
Then his father Li Wei led everyone in the family to the front hall and said, "Welcome to the imperial envoy, long live our emperor! Long live! Long live!".
Li Ningyu raised his head slightly and saw a white-faced and beardless father-in-law. He thought that he was probably the imperial envoy delivering the decree. Then he received the three kowtows and nine bows for Emperor Guangxu. Li Ningyu was only wearing a new coat.
Although his father Li Wei is the steward of the palace, he is not an official and does not have the rank of official uniform. He is only wearing a brand new blue coat. The order in which he is standing now is based on the order in which the order will be delivered later, and
It's not about superiority or inferiority.
Seeing the pile of shining yellow scrolls in his hand, Li Ningyu thought to himself that it was the legendary imperial edict. Then he couldn't help but take a breath and watched the white-faced father-in-law without a beard walk to the incense table in the main hall of the old house and put the edict on the shelf.
Go up, then burn incense towards the north and kowtow! Finally, he stood up, picked up the imperial edict again, and looked around. When he was doing all this, the hall was already silent, so quiet that he could hear the wind outside.
"Cough", the white-faced eunuch without any need coughed lightly and then began to read: "Imperial decree!".
Then everyone, huffing and puffing, had no choice but to kneel down, and the white-faced father-in-law without a beard sang loudly in a high-pitched voice: "By God's blessing, the emperor's edict is: a good minister..." It seemed that there were a lot of long words in front of him, and Li Ningyu was a little impatient.
I didn't hear it, but luckily Li Ningyu could understand the words that followed, because the white-faced and beardless father-in-law had already read out Li Ningyu's name. Although Li Ningyu is not as good as the weakest, he is brave and resourceful. I have ordered you to be the flag bearer of the Southwest Han Dynasty.
The Military Academy, the fifth rank, can coordinate and verify all military affairs of the Daohan Army Banner in the southwest. It has the authority to handle matters, and it can also be heard and reported directly to Heaven!"
"What do you want from Xi's edict? You can only live up to your father's grace by fulfilling your duties and being loyal to the emperor and serving the country. I appreciate this! In May of the ninth year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty."
After Li Ningyu received the order, the white-faced father-in-law took out another imperial edict and said: "By God, the emperor decreed that good talents are always nurtured by mothers, and loyal men need training by their fathers. Li Mei was ordered by the emperor to be the flag bearer of the Southwest Han Army.
The father of the military academy has graciously given you the title of Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, from the fifth rank, and bestowed upon your wife Zhang, the fifth rank, Mrs. Huili. This is my honor! In May of the ninth year of Guangxu's reign."
I don’t know how they received the imperial edict. At this moment, both Li Wei and his wife were still dreaming, because they really couldn’t imagine that they turned into officials overnight. Such happiness came too suddenly, and they were so surprised.
It was unacceptable for a while.
After everyone received the decree and thanked him, Li Ningyu walked up to the father-in-law and thanked him: "Excuse me, father-in-law!" At the same time, he bowed and gave him the sealed silver. The father-in-law didn't seem to be polite.
, changed hands and stuffed it into his cuffs.
"Master Xiao Li! You are truly a rare talent. The old Buddha was praising you in the court that day. You see, you are the Military Academy of Southwest Han Army Banner. You are the fifth rank. You can cooperate to verify all the military affairs of Han Army Banner in Southwest Road.
You have the power to handle matters, and you can also hear and speak about things, and directly report to heaven. This is the great grace given to you by the old Buddha!" The white-faced and beardless father-in-law said pointedly.
At this time, Li Ningyu was no longer confused, but looked slightly surprised and said: "Please rest assured, father-in-law, I will definitely live up to the love of Lafayette!".
Then Li Ningyu went out and saw off the eunuch, but before leaving, the eunuch actually said that Li Ningyu and he were from the same family. When he heard this, Li Ningyu said in his heart: "Bah, who is talking to you, a dead demon?"
It's my family!", but in order to save his face, he could only say that Eunuch Li walked slowly. After turning around, he looked at his happy parents, shook his head, and walked straight towards the study alone.
