It is not an easy task to ask for an imperial edict. Although the emperor who had not been in court for a long time sat in the main hall, his energy did not return.
Sitting in the main hall, he basically didn't talk. He was either distracted, or he was more focused on writing music scores.
It was Cui Zheng and other officials who made the final decision in the court.
Wu Ya'er told the emperor about Mrs. Wu in the court hall and expressed her willingness not to receive any reward, but only asked the emperor to issue an order to reward her mother and wife.
The distracted emperor could hear Wu Ya'er's words and just listened to what he said. He didn't care about what he said and would nod when he asked.
Some officials stood up to express their opposition, but immediately some officials stood up to express their approval. If someone agreed and someone objected, there would be a dispute. The noisy court made the emperor irritable and got up to retreat.
Naturally, it was Luo's people who stood up and agreed.
"Wu Ya'er gave the Luo family a golden hibiscus tree." In the Prime Minister's Mansion, an official stretched out his hand and gestured, "It consists of three sections, which can be disassembled and assembled. The whole body is made of gold and painted with cloud patterns. There are three layers of branches on the trunk.
There are red and sapphire fruits on each layer of branches, and there are golden birds standing on the fruits, which are exquisite and beautiful."
"It's not like what's found now, it's an antique." Another official added, "Luo regarded it as a rare treasure."
"Wu Ya'er can have any antiques and treasures, and Liang Zhen doesn't have any." Some officials were disdainful.
Luo Shi has been favored for so many years, and the emperor's warehouse can be moved to his home. He has never seen any rare treasures. Such praise for a gift from a Mobei bumpkin is nothing more than showing off that he has Wu Ya'er under his wing.
"It can't be said that even though the people from Mobei are poor, they can still grab some good things." Cui Zheng interrupted them, "In short, Wu Ya'er has already made his choice."
An official sneered: "I think Wu Ya'er was originally arranged by Luo Shi. This move is very clever. It can get rid of Quan Hai and gain greater trust from the emperor."
Luo Shi and Quan Hai are interdependent and wary of each other. Quan Hai thinks that Luo Guifei is the favored one she is today because of him, while Luo Shi thinks that Quan Hai is today because of Luo Guifei's good words.
Now that Quan Hai is dead, Cui Zheng, who fought with Quan Hai and put the emperor in danger, will definitely not be as good as before in front of the emperor. Only Luo is clean, only Concubine Luo enjoys the favor in the palace, and Wu Yaer is fierce and evil outside.
Luo Shi will finally replace Cui Zheng in the court and dominate the sky with one hand.
Cui Zheng smiled: "They are not even considered relatives. They should read more history books. Since Luo wants to use the imperial edict to please this Wu Ya'er, then let him do so."
"Are we going to leave it alone?" an official asked.
"The blood on his hands has not been wiped clean, and the lion opened his mouth. Today he wants it for his wife and mother, tomorrow he wants it for himself, and the day after tomorrow he wants it for his soldiers and horses." Cui Zheng blew on the hot tea, "He is an opportunistic and despicable man with unknown origins.
Dongxi now regards himself as the founding hero of the country."
He put the hot tea on the table.
"Let him ask for it. If he doesn't reach out, how can I break his hand?"
The officials in the room understood and responded.
"Why is there no news about Zhao Lin? Something happened in the capital, so you are hiding in Ankang Mountain and don't dare to come back?" Someone asked, remembering something.
Cui Zheng also thought about it: "Write to him and ask him to come back, and ask Ankang Mountain to come with him. Come to the capital to accompany your majesty to relieve his boredom. Fan Yang will be replaced by another military governor."
Of course, it was their turn to replace Fan Yang and the Zhenwu Army, who were close enough to control them.
The officials responded yes.
"Is King Zhao coming or not? They are also on the way." An official asked.
When the emperor was trapped before, Cui Zheng made his own decision. Now that the emperor has returned to the court, he has not taken the initiative to let King Zhao enter the capital.
The emperor probably forgot that he still had two sons outside.
Cui Zheng said: "Of course you don't want to come. Your Majesty has always disliked him. Meeting father and son will only cause more trouble."
The officials looked at each other. With His Majesty here, King Zhao is not favored, and it is not the right time for him to come. When Your Majesty is gone, invite the childless and sick prince out, and then invite King Zhao to the court. That will be a new prime minister.
The authority and respect shown before the emperor.
As the saying goes, there is one emperor and one courtier, but it is not impossible for one courtier to serve the emperor in three dynasties.
The affairs of the monarch and his ministers are the most important things. Don’t pay too much attention to those little people who pop up occasionally. The figures in the brightly lit room are swaying and their long sleeves are held high. They may discuss the allocation of court officials, or give advice on how to influence public opinion, or write beautiful things with pen and ink.
article.
Regardless of the private considerations of the adults in the court, Wu Ya'er did not bother any more. The emperor returned to the palace and wrote the imperial edict after the imperial concubine sang and danced. Then, with Luo's mediation, the imperial edict and rewards went smoothly.
They left the capital and headed towards Dou County.
As for the ensuing rumors about how Wu Ya'er was rude and domineering in the court, and some people in the capital went to the Yamen to complain about being robbed when the city was breached, Wu Ya'er didn't care, and Li Minglou in Dou County didn't care either.
Don't care.
The sound of gongs and drums has been ringing all day.
The Dou County County Government not only welcomed the Guangzhou Magistrate, but also the Huainan Road Observer came in person, and accompanied the imperial envoys to deliver imperial edicts and rewards.
This was also the first time that the government officials met Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu. They understood very well that Wu Ya'er never mentioned his parents, wife and children to the world, and also understood that Wu Ya'er was eager to get rewards for them.
A man who is crazy, stupid and blind, and a man whose face is disfigured and unable to see anyone, is indeed in great need of glory.
Even though it was a high-ranking official who came, Mrs. Wu took Mrs. Wu back to the back house after receiving the imperial edict and reward. The entertainment and entertainment was borne by the county government administrator.
After changing out of the specially made burqa and putting on everyday clothes, Li Minglou no longer needed to cover his whole body except for his face when indoors.
"These are all brought to you by Ya'er." Li Minglou took the woman and touched the satin, gold and silver items one by one.
The woman smiled and stroked her seriously.
"Madam, let's use this to make new clothes." Jin Jue followed, picking up the silk and making gestures on the woman's body.
"Okay." The woman smiled and nodded.
Li Minglou said: "Yao'er can't come to see us yet. I'll write him a letter to say that we received it. Do you have anything to say to him?"
This time the woman didn't refuse. She thought for a while and said, "Just say I'm fine and let him be fine too."
Li Minglou said hello: "Kumie, please discuss with Madam how to deal with these rewards."
Jin Jue responded obediently and picked up a string of beads: "Madam, we can wear this when we go on a spring outing." Then he looked to the other side and asked, "Does my posture look good?"
There are three men sitting in the corner of the hall here, watching this scene and drawing furiously.
Hearing Jin Jue's question, he nodded honestly and shook his head even more honestly: "Sister Jin Jue, it will be better if you turn your head a little."
The other one, who was more honest and unmoved, said: "Sister Jinjue, no matter what you are like, your paintings will always look good."
Jin Jue chuckled: "No, the young lady said that the painting must be real, and it is for General Wu to see. Don't imagine it yourself."
The three painters all nodded honestly and carefully painted the picture of Mrs. Wu's joy at this moment as she was receiving the holy objects from the emperor.
Nowadays, the people who come to recommend themselves are becoming more and more strange, but as long as the lady accepts them, they are always useful. Yuan Ji looked at this scene with amusement, and withdrew his eyes and followed Li Minglou to the other cubicle.
"It seems that Wudu General is willing to negotiate with us." He said, "He also gave us such a big gift."
What Li Minglou wanted was the identity of Mrs. Wu, and this was what she wanted to discuss with Wu Ya'er. Wu Ya'er must have been suspicious of her identity, but he didn't expose it, and simply asked for an imperial edict. It was a reward in name, but in fact it was
Tell the world that this person from Dou County is his wife Wu Ya'er.
Li Minglou looked at the imperial edict on the table. This gift was beyond her expectation. She thought it would be good if it was not revealed, but she didn't expect that he would just tell the world.
The corners of Li Minglou's mouth behind the veil turned up. This first candidate was really good. She made up her mind that when he died in the future, she would take good care of and strengthen his soldiers and horses, so that his mother could take care of her till the end of her life, and then give her to him.
