The sun set over the Western Mountains, and darkness enveloped the earth.
On the top of the south city of Luodu City, torches were brightly lit, and soldiers with five steps and one post were guarding the capital with all their duties.
Suddenly, there was the sound of rapid horse hooves on the official road to the south.
The guarding soldiers immediately shouted,
"Stop comers, the city gate is closed. Come back tomorrow."
"I am the Sixth Prince, open the city gate quickly!"
Under the city head, a group of horseback riding figures appeared in the light of torches. The soldiers looked and found that there was a girl riding a bull among the crowd.
"Do you have proof of identity?"
The soldiers on the top of the city shouted.
"then."
Wang Fugui raised his hand and threw out a gold medal, which landed on the battlement in front of the soldiers. He had martial arts, so it was easy to throw something on it.
The soldier took the gold medal and quickly found the general guarding the city. After confirming that it was correct, the general opened the city gate himself.
Wang Fugui led everyone into the city gate, greeted the general guarding the city, and then rode towards the inner city.
The generals and soldiers guarding the city looked at them and felt strange.
In this team, there are princes, ministers, men, women, and even children.
The Sixth Prince went out and gained a lot.
The capital city is divided into outer city, inner city, imperial city and palace city.
The outer city is where ordinary people live, the inner city is where dignitaries and wealthy businessmen live, and the security is much higher. The imperial city is the residence of princes, ministers, princes and princesses. Here, you do not have a title or ability. Even if you get an official position in the court, you can't buy a house no matter how rich you are. new
The palace city is the imperial palace, where the emperor, queen and concubines live.
Wang Fugui’s Prince Hao Mansion is located in the imperial city.
After returning to the palace, as soon as everyone entered the palace, there was the sound of rapid horse hooves outside the palace door.
"Hey!"
A high-pitched cry came out, and everyone looked out the door curiously, only to see an old eunuch and a group of guards stopping in front of the door.
"Hey, Eunuch Cao, what brought you here?"
Wang Fugui saw that it was Cao Zhengcun, the emperor's personal eunuch, and quickly stood up to greet him.
After all, this is one of the most trusted people around the emperor. He still needs to have a good relationship. If he offends him, just saying a few words in the emperor's ear will be enough for him.
A prince is always worthless before he becomes an emperor.
However, Eunuch Cao walked into the gate of Prince Hao's Mansion with a serious face, stood on the steps, took out an imperial edict from his sleeve, and shouted,
"Sixth princes Wang Hao, Chai Yuan, Qing Yu, and Yue Jiawen, accept the order~"
Hearing this, everyone was startled, and then Wang Fugui, Chai Yuan, and a group of guards behind them fell to their knees.
"My son, I accept the order!"
"I accept the order!"
Han Yun and others are still standing. They are all Jianghu people. Who cares about your imperial edict?
Eunuch Cao seemed to have a premonition that they would do this, and he was not angry. He opened the imperial edict and read:
"The Emperor is entrusted by heaven, and the edict says that the sixth prince Wang Hao, the minister of civil affairs Chai Yuan, the royal minister Qingyu, and the daughter of Duke Wuwei Yue Jiawen will participate in the morning court tomorrow. There must be no mistake. I appreciate this!"
"My son, take the order!"
Eunuch Cao handed the imperial edict to Wang Fugui, then immediately changed his face and said with a cheerful smile,
"Your Highness, it's been a hard journey, are you feeling well?"
"No problem, no problem."
Wang Fugui pulled Eunuch Cao towards the main hall.
"Come here, serve some tea!"
A group of people came to the main hall, and the guests and hosts took their seats. Wang Fugui smiled and said,
"Father, are you afraid that I won't go or that Qingyu won't go? You can just leave a message. If you have to issue an imperial edict, really, I dare not listen to what he says."
Eunuch Cao took a sip of tea and said,
"six
Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been thinking about you. He asks your servant for news about you every day, and he even told people to stand guard at the gate of the city. After seeing you enter the city, he immediately asked your servant to come over and announce the decree. Your Majesty is thinking. There is yours. "
Wang Fugui chuckled, picked up an antique ornament from the table, and handed it to Eunuch Cao,
"Eunuch Cao, can you tell me why my father has to let us attend the morning court tomorrow?"
"Oh, Your Highness Sixth, this is absolutely impossible."
Eunuch Cao pushed the ornament back again.
"Just ask, I will definitely answer everything you know. In fact, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Your Majesty is going to reward you this time.
You, Master Chai, Elder Qing, and Duke Wuwei's daughter will all be rewarded.
You and Master Chai's reward servants don't know that this needs to be drafted by the cabinet, but the other two servants know.
Miss Yue will be granted the title of princess this time, and all treatment will be as if she were a prince's daughter.
Elder Qing, on the other hand, wanted to be granted the title of Duke Annan. "
"Uncle Feng?"
Han Yun raised his head in surprise and looked at Wang Fugui. Wang Fugui was also surprised.
Eunuch Cao smiled and hugged Han Yun,
"Congratulations to Elder Qing, ah no... Uncle Annan, after being knighted, you will be considered a noble in this capital. Congratulations."
Han Yun couldn't laugh or cry, and complained,
"I'm only twenty years old and I'm already being called uncle. Isn't this just calling me old out of thin air? It's not nice to call me an elder either. Eunuch Cao can just call me Qingyu."
Han Yun said he didn't care, but Wang Fugui was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Brother, do you know what you are talking about? This is a title granted by the emperor. If you complain like this, it is disrespectful to the emperor. If the emperor gives you a title and you despise it, this is rebellion and disobedience!
We can say whatever we want in private, but Eunuch Cao is still here. He is the emperor's personal eunuch. Unless you kill him, he will definitely tell the emperor what he sees and hears!
The smile on Eunuch Cao's face froze for a moment, then he rolled his eyes and said with a smile,
"Hahaha, okay, then let's call him Qingge without shame. After all, we are all members of the royal family and we work together, hahahaha."
Han Yun smiled and didn't say much. Besides, he was just refuting someone else's face. It would be bad if he couldn't get off the stage.
Eunuch Cao kept chatting and laughing with Wang Fugui, occasionally chatting with Han Yun and Chai Yuan, but did not talk to Nian'an.
Because Nian'an's identity is too sensitive and she is a woman, it's really hard to say anything.
Finally, Eunuch Cao stood up. Before leaving, he came to Nian An, held his hands and said,
"Miss Yue, our family knows that you are suffering in your heart, and we also know that Marshal Yue was wronged back then, but please believe in our family and your Majesty. Your Majesty will never do anything to harm the loyal and good. Your Majesty has also been suffering in his heart these years, and he is also I have been looking for you and investigating the case back then.
Our family is too talkative about this matter. Don't talk about it outside the house, otherwise our family's head will not be saved. "
"Do you believe these words yourself? Does the emperor believe it himself?"
Nian An snorted coldly and turned away.
Eunuch Cao smiled awkwardly, hugged Wang Fugui and said goodbye.
