The housekeeper Liu Yuan carefully complimented one person, Jinling's parents, the governor Qi Run: "Your Majesty the governor, I took the children of the family for an outing by the river in front. I think the eldest son must also be here. Before I went out, I said I would send I went to Dangyang Academy to invite the eldest son to go out for an outing."
A luxurious double-coiled carriage was parked on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Erlong Town. Behind the carriage were fifty imperial guards, all of whom were riding majestically on their war horses and were serious in speech. Flags embroidered with golden dragons were dancing in the wind, whistling. Hibiki, this kind of ostentation can only be used by people in the palace.
After listening to Liu Yuan's words, Governor Qi nodded lightly, turned sideways and said to a young man with a fair face, a beardless face, and a soft face, who was respectfully holding a silk cloth in his hand and wearing eunuch clothes, and said: "Eunuch Fu, Liu Mingzhi, a descendant of Jinling, is here. Outing by the river, do you think the governor should send someone to call him to receive the order?"
Eunuch Fu pinched an orchid finger and said, "Shang Guan, you don't have to be like this. As our ancestors have said, Mr. Liu is a hero among men and has won the emperor's heart. Our family is just a little father-in-law who delivers edicts. How can we bother Mr. Liu to come to see him like this?" Where are we? Let’s go and declare the decree in person.”
Eunuch Fu's humility was naturally due to Zhou Fei's orders. Otherwise, just by delivering edicts and announcing edicts, Eunuch Fu would be able to show off his power. He would not dare to target a feudal official like Qi Run, but an ordinary fifth-grade official would not see that. I couldn't help but greet him with a smile and call him "Fu Gonggong".
Zhou Fei, who knew exactly the virtues of his subordinates, naturally did not want his subordinates to offend a young man who was so enraged and victorious. Others did not know that he was someone close to the emperor. How could he not know that the emperor had accidentally met this Jiangnan man? Xiao Xiucai is such a favor. After the horseshoe incident, the emperor would always mention Liu Mingzhi's name every few days.
He shouted that Liu Mingzhi is really a talented person.
Zhou Fei doesn't want to be at odds with such a person. No matter if Liu Mingzhi is just a flash in the pan, he may disappear from everyone in the future. He is afraid of everything, what if Liu Mingzhi gains power? Zhou Fei didn't want to inexplicably become an enemy because of the arrogance of his subordinates. He had never seen any intrigues in the palace for a long time, so it was always right to be more humble.
Therefore, before Eunuch Fu left the palace, Zhou Fei gave an order to put away those arrogant tempers, not to follow others too much, and just treat him with a normal mind.
The eunuch who announced the decree didn't mind, and Qi Run didn't want to show off his power too much: "Liu Yuan, you lead the way!"
When Liu Mingzhi accepted the order, everyone in the Liu family was confused. Liu Zhi'an took the lead and knelt on the ground, bowing his head to the ground and not daring to raise his head. Everyone in the Liu family knelt down when they saw their master, so naturally they did not dare to stand and followed their master. It's never wrong to go.
Only Young Master Liu stood blankly looking at the handsome but feminine Eunuch Fu next to Qi Run. Is this the eunuch? Only seen in my life! I shouldn’t say it’s the first time I’ve met!
Thinking of the work he needed to do to become an eunuch, Young Master Liu shuddered, and subconsciously clamped his legs together. His lifeblood was painful even if he touched it. What if it was cut? Hiss...that hurts so much.
Subconsciously glancing at Eunuch Fu's sensitive area, Young Master Liu couldn't help but feel in awe, trying every possible means to get in trouble with his little brother. Isn't the basket even important? This is a cruel person!
Eunuch Fu also frowned slightly and looked at Young Master Liu. Could it be that he had shouted so softly? Young Master Liu didn't hear him announcing the decree, but everyone in the Liu family, including the governor Qi Run, had already knelt down. It was obvious that his voice was not quiet. Why doesn't this guy kneel down?
After clearing his throat, Eunuch Fu's feminine voice shouted again: "Liu Mingzhi accepts the order."
Young Master Liu came to his senses, was he asking himself to accept the order? But what should we do to receive the order? No one has ever told me whether to kneel or not to kneel?
"Eunuch, can I just stand and do nothing to receive the order?" Liu Mingzhi looked at Eunuch Fu curiously. Qing palace dramas require kneeling. Zhu Xi could kneel or not before coming up with his theory. But the old man and his future father-in-law are both kneeling. It would be inappropriate for him not to kneel, but what the old man said just now... It is not a good thing to contact the emperor at this time.
The kneeling people were stunned. Liu Zhian wanted to push this ungrateful guy to the ground and buckle his head, but the distance of two or three meters was obviously beyond his reach, and he didn't have the courage to think about it.
But Liu Zhi'an had already made seven or eight calculations in his mind. If this matter was to be safely avoided, he must let Young Master Liu know what a father's love is like a landslide.
Qi Run, who was kneeling by the side, raised his head slightly and glanced sideways at Mr. Liu. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he cursed in his heart, "You daredevil. Even if you don't kneel down, it's not a crime, but you won't stand so carelessly!" I really want to drag him to the governor's office and let him know what the ten tortures of Dalong are, which will give me a long memory.
There is no rule in the Dalong Dynasty that forces you to kneel down. As long as you are not afraid of leaving a bad impression, you don't have to kneel down.
The scene fell into silence for a while. Eunuch Fu held the imperial edict in his hand and read it, either not or not. Eunuch Fu's mouth twitched. According to the procedure, he should angrily scold Liu Mingzhi for being bold, but his ancestor's words told him to respect him more. Why not follow the procedure? Still obedient?
Young Master Liu doesn't know what other people think about life, but he is a little tired of waiting: "What's wrong with you, father-in-law? What, don't you want to declare a decree? Isn't my father-in-law illiterate?"
Read on. The matter has gone beyond your ability to handle it. When you return, report it to your ancestor and let him handle it. Eunuch Fu cleared his throat: "Emperor Dalong issued an edict that Xuan Liu Mingzhi enter the palace to study with the prince."
After waiting for a long time, nothing more happened. Young Master Liu looked confused. Just these two sentences? Aren’t imperial edicts full of things that are incomprehensible? Why are there only these two sentences?
"Finished?"
"It's over!"
"Nothing else?"
"Nothing else!"
"Is this what the imperial edict is?"
"That's what the imperial decree is!"
"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed, blah blah blah blah, where are the piles of things?"
"La La La La La La La La La a lot of things?"
"That's what it is!"
"What is that thing? We don't understand!"
Young Master Liu stopped believing in evil and rushed to Eunuch Fu's side, making him startled. He didn't know what this bold master wanted to do. Liu Mingzhi leaned over the silk cloth in Eunuch Fu's hand and looked at it again and again. Sure enough, there were only two sentences and nothing else.
Liu Mingzhi scratched his head: "What then? What should I do next?"
Mr. Fu straightened his face: "If you want to accept the order...just kneel down and kowtow to express gratitude."
"Oh! The common man Liu Mingzhi accepts the decree." After saying this, he knelt down respectfully and raised his hands to prepare to receive the imperial decree in Eunuch Fu's hand.
Eunuch Fu looked with satisfaction at Young Master Liu who finally knelt on the ground with a smile on his face and placed the imperial edict in his hands.
After Liu Mingzhi received the imperial edict, he was suddenly stunned, wondering what the hell his mother had done.
"Father-in-law, should I have just knelt down after receiving the order?"
The corners of Eunuch Fu's mouth twitched, and he looked speechlessly at Young Master Liu who was belatedly realizing what he was doing.
