"The Panlong Heart Technique was able to reach level 13 at the critical moment because of Qi Hongxin."
Su Ziji lowered his eyes and saw half a piece of rosewood mother-in-law flashing: "Dragon Palace Princess transforms into a dragon, which greatly affects human nature. The seed of human nature, do you want to absorb it (this move is irreversible)"
"yes!"
"[Panlong Heart Technique] absorbs the seeds of humanity, +9800, upgraded to level 14 (12318/13000), destiny +1, destiny 7→8 (1)"
"9800, is the impact this time so big?" Su Ziji had no time to sigh and went out immediately.
He was in the work shed at Heba, and with his sharp senses at the moment, he could faintly hear voices in the distance.
On the river bank of Shun'an Prefecture, the food basket in Mrs. Zhou's hand fell from her hand, and the wine and food rolled to the floor. She stared blankly, and amidst the exclamations of "Master Qi is dead", her vision went dark. About to faint.
A soldier with quick hands and quick eyes immediately helped Mrs. Zhou up: "Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi!"
Outside the crowd, Su Ziji hurried over. When he saw this scene, he stopped and felt a little frightened. He saw that the car curtains were open and Qi Hongxin was still wearing official uniform, with his head hanging slightly, as if he was just taking a nap, but anything As soon as anyone looked at it, they knew that this person had passed away.
Even though there was no friendship at all between him and Qi Hongxin, and there had been friction due to disagreements, if it hadn't been for locust control and flood control, which forced them to cooperate, I'm afraid the two would have been at odds over business and personal grudges.
But there are not so many what-ifs in the world. The reality is that this person was supposed to be the enemy of Su Ziji and Hou Kuai, but when he found out that Qi Hongxin died like this, Su Ziji did not feel any relaxed and happy.
He looked complicated and sighed deeply.
After sighing, several officials around him started to grasp the backbone: "Sir, what should I do, what should I do?"
At this time, the rain basically stopped, but the wind was still there. Su Ziji felt that his whole body was chilled by the wind, so he shouted: "Why are you panicking?"
“Where is the doctor on the construction site?”
"Master Su!" The doctor has arrived in a hurry. He has no rank, so he has to salute. Su Ziji waved his hand: "Don't do this false courtesy now, look at it quickly, look at it quickly."
The doctor hurriedly stepped forward to check. After just checking, he turned around and said tremblingly: "Master Su, Master Qi, have returned... to heaven..."
Mrs. Zhou was sober, but after hearing this, she suddenly cried miserably: "Didn't you tell me that you're sorry for me and that you want to resign and go back to your hometown with me?"
"You said you wanted to live a stable life with me for a few years."
"You said it, you said it..."
Mrs. Zhou was crying until she suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Madam, madam?" The people around were even more panicked.
The doctor was smart and stepped forward quickly. At this time, he didn't care about the defense of men and women. He rushed forward to take the pulse, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Madam, it was just a rush of blood to the heart, and it was blurred for a moment. It's not serious."
"I remember there are two ginseng sticks in my work shed. You can use them to stabilize my wife's condition." Su Ziji quickly ordered. No matter how honest he was, some people expressed their feelings, so the ginseng was delivered to the work shed. The name allows adults to refresh themselves at night.
At this time, the eunuch also arrived, and he saw a group of people gathered in front of an ox cart, and he suddenly said something bad.
"What...what's going on? Where is Master Qi?" the eunuch asked in a shrill voice.
The surrounding officials and soldiers silently made way for the eunuch to approach the ox cart.
The eunuch looked towards the oxcart and saw Qi Hongxin who was motionless. The demeanor of this group of people had prepared him mentally. The eunuch didn't know what was going on, but it was precisely because he immediately He was even more shocked when he realized that the person he was delivering the message to was dead.
"Master Qi, this is... ouch!"
With a grimace on his face, the eunuch was at a loss. This was the first time he came with an imperial edict, but the person to whom he was delivering the edict died.
"What will this do to our family? Our family came with His Majesty's decree for Mr. Qi. Now that Mr. Qi is like this, the decree cannot be read out..."
At this moment, an official walked out of the crowd and said: "Your Majesty, Imperial Envoy, although Mr. Qi has gone, he dragged his sick body out just to control the flood... You are announcing the decree at this moment. He has spirit in heaven and will be able to do it." Heard.”
The eunuch was startled. Is this man too young? He didn't even have a beard, but he immediately realized that the person speaking must be the new top scholar Su Ziji.
"He is indeed a young hero."
But he couldn't make the decision in this matter, so he turned to look at the official from the Ministry of Rites who followed him: "Master Yan, what do you think?"
Yan He, an official of the Ministry of Rites, had already figured out the situation from the surrounding officials of Shun'an Prefecture. He knew that the reason why Qi Hongxin died here was because as soon as he woke up from a coma, he rushed to Heba in the rain to direct the rescue. For disaster relief, depending on the situation, the deceased had just passed away. They went back directly without reading the imperial edict, which seemed unkind.
Moreover, this man took a deep look at Su Ziji.
"There are rumors in the capital that Su Ziji is very handsome, not inferior to the prince, and is the first of the three young masters in the capital. I don't think so. I have never seen the prince now, so I can't compare. But when I saw him today, he was just charming. His appearance is indescribable. , the duke already exists, and he is not a human minister."
Yan He was shocked at just one glance, but he didn't want to offend him, so he followed the trend and told the eunuch who passed the order.
"The Emperor is the Son of Heaven. He can intervene not only in human affairs, but also in divine matters. He always has the grace to protect his ancestors, and it is not inappropriate to read it to Lord Qi now."
"Just read it out."
The eunuch felt relieved. As long as the task was successfully completed, even if there was a small mistake, it would not be a big deal. So he stood in front of the bullock cart, according to the rules of the court, with an expressionless face, standing facing south, and loudly shouted: " There is a purpose!”
"Your Majesty, Su Ziji, bows down on your behalf!" Su Ziji led the crowd in the audience to kneel down: "Listen respectfully to the Holy Edict!"
"The emperor's edict is destined to be carried by heaven." The eunuch read slowly: "Following the official festival is a common practice for ministers to present themselves; increasing their rank and advancing to a higher level is a tribute to the Zhao Dynasty. Qi Hongxin, the prefect of Shun'an Prefecture, worked diligently on the king's affairs, controlled the locusts and brought peace to the people, and he was outstanding. He has achieved political achievements and is deeply in my heart. I am honored to be awarded the title of Grand Bachelor of Fuwen Pavilion of the third rank.”
There are actually many types of imperial edicts. The highest level is the imperial edict, which is widely announced and announced to the subjects.
The imperial edict declares hundreds of officials, conferring titles of five or more grades, and the imperial edict is written by the emperor himself. Both of the above are made with the treasure of the imperial edict.
The imperial edict is an ordinary individual order, consecrating people below the fifth grade and above the ninth grade. The seal is the treasure of the imperial edict.
Of course, since he was a third-grade bachelor of Fuwen Pavilion, he would have used imperial edicts.
At this time, Mrs. Zhou woke up slowly and heard the words read out, which were all the emperor's praises for her old man. Even though she had long ago not cared about these things, these were the things that her old man had been begging for for more than ten years. , now finally recognized, people are gone.
She is a person who knows the rules. During the process, she covered her mouth with her hands to stop her crying, but tears flowed down her face. After the edict was read out, she struggled to bow down heavily, with mud on her forehead, and choked with sobs: "My wife... …My wife, I would like to thank the Emperor for his kindness.”
