Zhou Fei, the general manager of the palace, stood in front of the dragon steps in the middle with his hands holding the imperial edict.
The imperial edict read out while standing on the dragon steps in the middle was no small matter. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty understood this truth best, and all of them were extremely confused as to what kind of imperial edict this was.
"Emperor Dalong issued an edict: My third daughter, Princess Ning'an, and her mother, Queen Zhuang Rui, have been loved by me since she was a child and have been raised by me personally. For more than ten years, she has been my daughter-in-law and has never failed to do my best."
"Marquis Liu Mingzhi of Wanhu has a pure character and excellent academic performance. He is a capable minister in governing the country. I have been observing it for a long time and am very pleased. I have known the princess for a long time and have a similar mind. Now in the year of the princess and Ji, I have been granted the title of Princess Anping to bring peace." My wife's name was given to me in marriage to Liu Mingzhi, and we were married on the fourth day of the fifth month of the first year of Ruian's reign. I hope that the two of you will be of one heart and one mind, live in harmony as husband and wife, and forever be friends with the Qin and Jin Dynasties. I admire this!"
Although Liu Mingzhi had already anticipated the content of the imperial edict, he was still a little breathless when it actually arrived.
My mind was a little lost for a moment, and I was suddenly thinking a lot.
"While its wings are still young, harvest them for your own use!"
"What should I do if I don't comply?"
"Kill him!"
"My story is finished!"
"Zhi'er, Mingjun, not a sage, depends on Mingjun and has selfish motives. He is still a fledgling member of the imperial class and should not act willfully. He should act in accordance with the general trend!"
"The world belongs to Your Majesty!"
Liu Mingzhi held his robe tightly with both hands and closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I accept the decree to express my gratitude to you. Long live my emperor!"
Zhou Fei happily walked down the steps and placed the imperial edict in Liu Mingzhi's raised hand: "Master Hou, congratulations!"
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
"What, pacify your wife? This emperor's favor is too great!"
"Yes, since the founding of our dynasty, there have only been two cases of princesses marrying ministers as Fu Zhengping's wife. They have the same title as Mrs. Gaoming's wife. Your Majesty must think too highly of Mr. Liu!"
"Without building a palace, without the title of Prince Consort, but with the actual status of Prince Consort, it has been two hundred years since a princess married off as his wife!"
Qi Run's lips were moist and he lowered his head.
Although the princess and his daughter both have the title of head wife, in terms of status, how can the daughter of a household minister be compared with the princess who is the daughter of the emperor?
I'm afraid Yun'er will have to
Qi Run sighed silently. Such a reward seemed to increase her daughter's status, but in fact, her daughter's status had already been lowered.
The country's name was changed to Ruian, and the princess was given the title Anping. The title "An" was placed in the country's name. She was already one of the most noble people in Dalong.
After reacting, all civil and military officials in the court saluted and congratulated: "Princess Anping and Mr. Liu are indeed a match made in heaven, a talented man and a beautiful woman. I congratulate and congratulate your Majesty!"
"No gift!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"The Minister of Rites!"
"I'm here!"
"After resigning from the court, the Ministry of Rites took the lead, and the clan government formulated a plan to start the wedding of Princess Anping without delay. On the fourth day of May, Princess Anping Liu Aiqing had a great wedding. Except for the charge of treason and the life of a key offender, a general amnesty was granted to the whole world and the whole world celebrated!"
"I obey the decree, and my emperor governs the country with benevolence and virtue. Long live, long live, long live!"
"Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Yushitai!"
"I'm here!"
"A group of White Lotus sect bandit leaders will be jointly tried by the three judicial departments. Those who are not involved in murder cases or who were coerced into joining the sect will be punished lightly if they are found out!"
"I obey the decree!"
"Official staff!"
"I'm here!"
"The case of the missing silver from the Jiangnan treasury was found to be negligent by the governors of the eight prefectures, and it will be handed over to the merit examination department for trial and verification."
"I obey the decree!"
"Tobe!"
"I'm here!"
"The six million taels of Jiangnan tax money have been parked at the palace gate. After leaving the court, they will be cleared by the Ministry of Revenue and deposited into the national treasury!"
"I obey the decree!"
"Liu Aiqing!"
"I'm here!"
"Fu Zhengping, my wife, the six rites must be followed when getting married. Remember to hand over your birth date and birth date to the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Although I am the king of a country, I am also a father. The rules for the return of married women should be the same as the customs of civil wives. Eight
Carrying a large sedan chair, playing drums, playing music and singing are indispensable!"
"I obey the decree!"
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and gave the chief steward a wink.
"If you have something to do, start to act, if nothing happens, leave the court!"
"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"
After the emperor left, all the civil and military officials of the court gathered around Young Master Liu: "Master Liu, congratulations, not only for your promotion, but also for welcoming the daughter of the Tian family. It can be said to be a double happiness. Master Liu is worthy of being a dragon or a phoenix among men!"
"Yes, yes, Master Liu, I will definitely send an invitation to Xiaguan when the time comes, so that I can also feel happy!"
Liu Mingzhi held the imperial edict and responded to each minister's friendly words with some absent-mindedness.
"I will definitely do it. I hope all my colleagues will appreciate it when the time comes!"
"Absolutely! Mr. Liu, take your leave. We are going to prepare gifts for Mr. Liu!"
"Walk slowly, walk slowly!"
Qin Ziying, the Minister of Rites, walked up cheerfully: "Master Liu, congratulations, can you tell me your birth date? I'm going to make plans with the clan!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded and softly told Qin Ziying his birth date.
Qin Ziying nodded slightly and signaled that he had written it down: "Master Liu, thank you very much for the child's business. I will be a guest at my residence in the future. I will definitely sweep the bed and wait for Master Liu to come!"
"You're welcome, Mr. Qin, go slowly, I won't see you off anymore!"
"Third brother, that's amazing. It's a huge difference for the princess to marry Fu Zhengping's wife instead of being recruited as the consort of the East Palace. Congratulations! Brother, I'll go to your house for a few drinks later!"
"Congratulations to the commander-in-chief, brothers, the commander-in-chief will treat the brothers to a drink!"
"The Tiger Talisman has been handed over to Your Majesty. Brothers, please do not call me Commander-in-Chief again. We cannot afford it!"
Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu and others looked at each other and knelt down on one knee: "Brothers, this is the last time to pay my respects to the commander-in-chief. You will always be the commander-in-chief of the brothers. Brothers, wait for the commander-in-chief to hold his seal and lead the brothers to go north to defeat the bandits!"
"Brothers, get up, what are you doing? Get up!"
"Thank you, Marshal!"
"Brothers, when we finish our work, we will go to the camp to have a drink with you!"
"Brothers, we are waiting for you, Marshal! Farewell, Marshal, take care!"
"Go slowly and don't send me away!"
Song Qing finally noticed that something was wrong with Liu Mingzhi's expression, and patted Liu Mingzhi on the shoulder angrily: "Brothers and sisters are reasonable and will understand your difficulties. Your Majesty has given you the marriage document below. You have no words to say it. Now that things have happened, please give me some advice.
Please advise my brothers and sisters!"
"I know, let's talk about it another day!"
"Take care of yourself!"
There were only two people left in the entire hall, Liu Mingzhi and Qi Run.
Liu Mingzhi looked at his father-in-law's ugly face and hurriedly walked up.
"Father-in-law, I didn't expect it either."
Qi Run let out a long sigh: "I'm so happy to be promoted to a new rank and newly married, what a talented young man! I'm the second-rank Minister of Household Affairs. From now on, when I see you, I will also call you Master Liu. Well, that's great. I have lived up to you."
Dad’s expectations for you! That’s great!”
Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Run with sore eyes, who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law wants to sit in your house!"
Qi Run's slightly cloudy eyes looked at Liu Mingzhi and nodded gently: "Okay, let's go back and have a drink together!"
"Senior brother, the Emperor Ziwei star has darkened, and the Emperor Qi of the Greedy Wolf star has taken over the body!"
With a chicken leg in his mouth, Li Buyi stared at seven or eight nuns playing in the water of a mountain stream, muttering: "Take it off, keep taking it off!" Li Buyi was startled.
He threw away the chicken legs and took out a compass from his pocket and started looking at it.
"God's will, everything is God's will, Longwo Mountain is about to raise its head because of the imperial energy!"
"Senior brother, is this going to be another day?"
Li Buyi pondered and began to calculate: "What a shame, it's an anomaly. It's obviously a short-lived phase, but it actually turns out to be the Emperor's Star."
