People in Yizhou City knew that Mrs. Wu had the emperor's seal.
At that time, after rescuing Queen Zhao, she was seen by local village elders, who thought she came on the order of the emperor.
This statement was accepted by everyone, and even the servants of Prince Zhao's Mansion had no doubts.
That's why Li Minglou concluded that it was a secret that King Zhao had the Emperor's Seal, and there must be something wrong with its origin.
There are no absolute secrets in the world.
It's not important to know the secret. What's important is to tell the purpose of the secret. If you didn't tell it before, the purpose of telling it now is important.
Li Minglou looked at Wei and said, "What did Master Wei say?"
Her eyes were pure and clear: "Madam, please don't be angry and listen to me carefully."
Li Minglou did not deny that he was angry, he only said: "You said it."
He continued: "During the official coup, angels came to the capital to invite His Highness to the capital. When everyone was preparing to enter the capital, there was another news saying no, and then Ankang Mountain rebels attacked Yizhou. The angels led
Go out with someone to report the news, and Madam will know what happens next."
Li Minglou nodded and listened to him continue.
"When His Highness agreed to follow the angel to Beijing, I had some suspicions."
"Your Highness is a cautious person. He knows that His Majesty is not happy and never takes the initiative to go to the capital. If an angel can persuade His Highness, he must have an extremely important token."
"Moreover, those who came are not the emperor's inner chamberlains, but Cui Zheng's servant brothers. Your Highness will never follow them to the capital easily."
"The only thing that can convince His Highness is His Majesty's handwriting or evidence that only His Majesty can use."
"Later, when His Highness was killed, the village elders said that the wife was holding the Emperor's Seal, and the old slave's suspicion was confirmed in his mind."
Li Minglou laughed when he heard this: "Master Wei, your guess is too unreasonable. I took out the Emperor's Seal in my hand, but you said it belonged to King Zhao. If King Zhao kept it a secret, why did he keep it secret?"
He continued: "Because this Emperor's Seal was not given by His Majesty, but was sent privately by Cui Zheng."
Is that so? Li Minglou said oh.
"Your Majesty has never written anything other than piano scores for all these years, let alone letters to the prince."
"Cui Zheng has been in charge of the government for many years, and he is more familiar with the emperor's seal than the emperor."
"If it was really a gift from His Majesty, why would His Majesty keep it a secret? He must have guessed that there was something wrong with this token, so he was worried about Your Majesty and agreed to go to Beijing."
Li Minglou stopped listening and smiled: "Why don't you guess that this is a token given to me by His Majesty?"
Wei Wei looked at her and said seriously: "Your Majesty will only give it to Madam's husband, Governor Wu."
Li Minglou smiled: "My husband likes to ask for holy gifts for me."
This smile overflowed with a little pride and was full of the sweetness of the couple.
In the end, he couldn't help but also laughed: "The governor is brave, and his wife does not give in to her husband. She supports her mother-in-law, cares about all the people, and helps her husband in the war. Everyone knows that Governor Wu and his wife are deeply in love."
Is that so? Everyone knows it already? This is good. When Wu Ya'er dies in the future, it is natural for her, the wife who fought side by side, to inherit everything. Li Minglou smiled again.
But that's not the topic...
Wei said: "These are all the old slave's guesses. If my guess is wrong, please don't be angry, madam. The old slave has been in Prince Zhao's Mansion for more than 20 years. He is closed-minded and stupid and doesn't understand many things."
After saying that, he leaned down and bowed deeply, then raised his head.
"Actually, I just want to ask if the Emperor's Seal is still there. If it is, could you please Madam if you can use it?"
Before Li Minglou could speak, he raised his hand and slapped his face again.
"I am really happy, confused and frivolous. How can a person of my status use the Emperor's Seal?"
He kowtowed on the ground.
"Resign before it's over."
He got up and shamefully covered his face and head with his sleeves and left.
Li Minglou said: "Wait a minute."
The hand covering his face shook slightly. He turned around and put down his sleeves, and saw the woman sitting in front of the desk holding a seal in her hand.
"If we have to do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, it might as well be a seal with you," Li Minglou said.
Wei Chunche's eyes suddenly became misty. He buried his head deeply, raised the official document with both hands high and stepped forward step by step: "Thank you, madam, for your kindness."
...
...
Before leaving the government office, Li Cheng was waiting with his troops.
"My lord, can you leave now?" he asked, "Do you have any instructions, madam?"
"It's time to go." Weiwei said with a smile, "Madam told me to wait and guard Yizhou."
Li Cheng chuckled: "You're giving orders to Master Wei, right? Looking at Master Wei's proud smile, now I can manage Yizhou City without fear when I go back."
Wei Wei smiled when he heard this and said, "Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of in this trip." He grimaced again and said, "Except for riding horses."
Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers and horses laughed, and two soldiers came over to help Wei Tuan mount his horse.
Before King Zhao's death, he had never ridden a horse, and he had never been out. He was not a powerful eunuch who traveled all over the country to do business for King Zhao. He was just a sweeping eunuch who kept the study for King Zhao in the palace of King Zhao.
Now that King Zhao was gone, there was no need to guard the study. He put down the books he had read countless times, locked the study, and went out to see the soldiers holding swords and guns, and to see how the people in Yizhou and outside the city lived.
Then, for the first time, I rode a horse and followed the soldiers on a long journey, and my flesh and blood were worn out and have not yet healed.
The stinging pain in the horse's flesh once again made his body stiff. Thinking that this pain would accompany him all the way, every step he took was like stepping on the tip of a knife. Although there was a bitter smile on his face, there was no fear in his eyes, which was close to his heart.
The official document stamped with the emperor's seal was so hot that his whole body was burning.
He wanted to burn the remains of the body to remind him that the Emperor's Seal belonged to King Zhao, even if it only reminded one person.
During these days, when he looked inside and outside the Guangzhou Mansion, he saw that the people were living and working in peace and contentment, that the soldiers and horses were strong, that the imperial edicts had been spread, and that state officials from all over the country came to pay their respects immediately. He did not mock or disdain women for taking advantage of their husbands.
to one
Carloads of rice and grain were delivered. The government said that someone was doing business to buy grain for Mrs. Wu. When they saw soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road escorting a city's property, the government said that it was an official named Han Xu.
To relieve Mrs. Wu's worries.
It is enough to remind this person.
He took a deep breath, crossed his legs and said, "Let's go."
...
...
Li Minglou was sitting in the hall, with the Emperor's Seal still on the desk. He didn't want to use the Emperor's Seal, he just came to tell her that Cui Zheng stole the Emperor's Seal to King Zhao, and it was not given by the late emperor.
The imperial officials did not know about Zhi Xi's movements, nor did the new emperor. Cui Zheng did not dare and did not tell anyone.
Therefore, the Emperor's Seal is not supported by words but by possession.
Where it came from and what to do with it were all up to her. Li Minglou looked at the Emperor's Seal in his hand.
Jin Jue walked in from the outside: "Miss, Xiao Wan is here and said I have something to tell you."
Li Minglou put away his reverie and looked at the door. Xiaowan walked in with his head lowered.
"Xiaowan, what's the matter with you?" she asked.
After a few days of calming down and Jin Jue's narration, the child already understood that the Mrs. Chu Guo, Mrs. Wu in front of her, was Miss Li.
Like before, he refused to raise his head and said, "I'm going back."
There was no need for him to be here, his skills were useless, and the benefactor who thought he was injured and couldn't see anyone turned out to have never needed saving.
