It has been five days since the fight at Liang Zhen's house.
Zhongwu stood in the hall, counting the five sticks stuck in the bottle.
This kind of trivial matter is like a piece of water in the capital, and it has no consequences. It is estimated that even Liang Zhen has forgotten about it.
Zhongwu looked at the sky. Today was about to pass again. He pinched a bamboo stick on the table and looked at the bottle. Let's go to tomorrow. If there is no news tomorrow, he will write to Yuanji. According to the original plan, please
Xiang Yun came forward and followed Meng Ming's path.
After all, Meng Ming is Li Fengan's good friend, and it is reasonable and reasonable to speak for Li Fengan, at least in everyone's eyes.
"Zhongwu." Zhonghou shouted loudly and walked in, his footsteps hurried, "Quickly go outside and take a look."
How's it going outside? Zhongwu holds the bamboo stick.
Zhonghou gasped and finished: "The emperor is back, and he and his concubine are riding horses. The whole city is watching."
Doesn't the emperor ride a dragon and ride a horse through the city and have fun with the people? The emperor likes to do this, and he has become more and more wanton in recent years. In the past, he only danced and sang with the concubines in the palace, and later he even entertained officials and envoys from other countries in the palace.
We also danced with the singers at the banquet.
The emperor was completely different from the person described by the governor. The fifth form did not have the opportunity to meet the emperor, but he had no interest in seeing it.
Zhonghou went to see it with great interest, but as soon as he walked out, he hurried back.
"I told you I won't watch." Zhongwu said unhappily.
Zhonghou pointed to the goose behind him, which seemed to have been strangled by the neck, and made a strange cry: "The eunuch from the palace is here."
Everyone went to the street to see the emperor and the imperial concubine, and a few eunuchs stood in front of the Li family residence without attracting any attention.
These eunuchs all wore very ordinary palace uniforms and their status was not high, but the fifth eunuch did not dare to neglect to step forward and salute respectfully.
A young eunuch asked with a smile: "Who brought Miss Li's memorial?"
Whether it was a blessing or a curse, Zhonghou was about to step forward first, but Zhongwu stopped him. Everything that should be arranged outside had been arranged. If there was a disaster, it would be better for him to go in and deal with it.
The eunuch looked at him curiously: "You come with me, the emperor wants to see you."
Instead of arresting him immediately, the emperor wants to see him. Although there will be two results after the meeting, the hope is still half.
This is a good thing.
Zhongwu breathed a sigh of relief and took a deep breath.
It was the first time that he entered the palace in the fifth grade. Everyone in the world knew how magnificent the palace was, but he was not in the mood to see it. Seeing the emperor, he was just a servant, so it was impossible not to be nervous.
Zhongwu took a deep breath, thinking about how to do his best, not to lose the face of the governor, and to persuade the emperor to allow the young master to inherit. He was taken into a room, and the eunuch who was attracted smiled and rejected his hand.
He was given the money and didn't leave any instructions, just asking him to wait here.
The palace was also chaotic, as noisy as the streets. The maids and eunuchs were running to welcome the return of the emperor and the noble concubine. The room in which Zhongwu stood was extremely quiet in comparison. The quietness made him uneasy, and the door was pushed open.
After opening the door, a chubby old eunuch walked in, wiping his sweat: "It's so busy, so busy. Although it's not far, the going back and forth is quite hectic."
He seemed to be waiting for Zhongwu's response, but Zhongwu just stood there stiffly.
The old eunuch did not laugh at the formality of the fifth grader. He smiled kindly and sat on the chair. While pouring tea, he asked: "You are from the Li family. What is your name?"
"Zhongwu." Zhongwu bowed down in respect.
"This is an interesting name. Did Governor Li give it to you?" the old eunuch asked with a smile.
The response from Form 5 was: "We are orphans who fled the country. The Grand Governor picked them up on the road and gave us a bite to eat. They are our reborn parents, so he asked the Grand Governor to give us a new name."
"Captain Li is so kind-hearted that he can even save the lives of orphans who have no relatives or friends." The old eunuch sighed, and then said, "Your Majesty has just come back and is busy and tired, so I asked all the slaves to come to see you."
When Zhongwu heard the first sentence, his heart sank slightly, and when he heard the second sentence, he fell to his knees and kowtowed: "Now that Governor Li's children have become orphans, please show mercy to Your Majesty."
"Li Fengan's brothers and mother are still alive." Quan Hai said, "You can't say that."
In the fifth grade, he didn't get up: "The only closest relatives are my parents." He kowtowed and sobbed, "I hope my father-in-law will have mercy on me."
Quan Hai smiled: "Don't cry, this is what I told the emperor."
The eldest lady’s bet was right! Tears welled up in the middle five’s eyes for no apparent reason. Her voice became more unclear, and she said something she couldn’t hear clearly.
Quan Hai was not dissatisfied, and his smile became even stronger: "Why are you crying even harder?"
Zhongwu knelt down and grabbed the corner of Quan Hai's clothes: "Eunuch, it's not just the eldest lady and the young master who have become orphans, but people like us are also helpless. I feel sad."
Quan Hai looked at the young servant kneeling at his feet as kindly as if he were looking at his own grandson: "The eldest lady and the young master are still young and can cry. You are already so old, so don't cry."
Zhong Wu knelt down and nodded, his voice still sobbing.
"Your Majesty is the king and father of Li Fengan. If Li Fengan is gone, the king and father of his children will naturally have to take care of them." Quan Hai said, "Here, take it."
What did you take? Zhongwu trembled slightly and raised his head.
Quan Hai held a bright yellow scroll in his hand: "Your Majesty appointed Li Fengan's eldest son, Li Mingyu, as the governor of Jiannan Road, to take charge of the festival for his father, and also appointed the governor of Yizhou to take charge of military affairs and people's livelihood."
He simply stated the content of the imperial edict and handed it forward.
"Accept the order."
Zhongwu held the imperial edict firmly with trembling hands and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and thank you for your great kindness, Eunuch."
Quan Hai smiled again: "Thank me for what I did. You can go ahead. The court will announce the matter tomorrow. I'm too busy and I won't entertain you."
Zhongwu knelt down and stopped Quan Hai: "Father-in-law, please let our young master come to Beijing to express his gratitude."
Jiedushi was not allowed to leave the guarded area without an edict.
Quan Hai thought for a while and nodded: "Then let's come."
Zhongwu was beating a drum in his heart. The rumors outside were all true. In the palace now, the person who had the most say was not the emperor, but the eunuch Quan Hai.
He agreed directly without even asking for permission.
"Father-in-law, please also meet our young master." Zhongwu said gratefully.
Quan Hai smiled and said: "Okay, I also recognize the person."
Zhongwu left the imperial city holding the imperial edict and walked through the busiest streets in the capital. The emperor had already entered the palace. The people watching on the street had not dispersed yet. Everyone saw this scene and were surprised that the emperor had just returned to the palace and passed on the imperial edict.
, I was surprised who this humble citizen who held up the imperial edict was, and even more surprised at the content of the imperial edict, which set off a new round of uproar.
No one dared to stop the Holy Apostle, so Zhongwu walked through the commotion and entered the house.
There was no need to ask or say anything. Judging from his expression and the things in his hands, everyone in his family knew the outcome of the incident. The happiness came so suddenly that they didn't know how to celebrate.
"Tell the good news to the eldest lady first." Zhongwu said, this is the biggest celebration.
The good news was immediately sent out of the capital towards Li Minglou, and the capital also dispersed.
Liang Zhen, who was drinking freely at the farewell dinner, heard the news and spilled the wine in his hand.
"Did the ghost Li Fengan crawl out of the ground to meet the emperor?"
