Chapter 58 Duan Xian
"Eunuch Li!"
Mr. Feng politely nodded to Li Baozhen, the emperor's embarrassing servant, but he didn't expect that the other party would pass her and greet Xie Zhiwei, and then casually bowed to the old lady, "Mrs. Tai!"
The little **** behind Li Baozhen held a scroll of bright yellow imperial decree in his hand. As soon as Li Baozhen stretched out his hand, the little servant quickly held up the imperial decree. Li Baozhen smiled and said, "I heard that last night, your mansion closed its doors to thank guests, and none of the Governor's people could enter the gate of Xie's house. The door was closed, but I didn't expect it to be quite easy to come in. Your mansion is indeed a house of poetry and rites, no matter how noble you are, you still have to obey the imperial decree."
Master Lu's people came here last night? Xie Tiao's face turned pale.
The Xie family has never been lofty. On the contrary, the Xie family is extremely cautious, and will not do things that are above the top and easily offend others. Otherwise, they would not have lived through three dynasties and hundreds of years.
Xie Tiao looked at the old lady suddenly, seeing her pale face, he knew it.
His old wife is really confused!
Is Lu Yan someone who can easily offend? To actually let Lu Yan have a closed door, does this mean that the Xie family has lived too long, and the Xie family is going to be full?
Different from the ancestral precepts of the previous dynasty that eunuchs should not interfere in politics, Dayong has reused eunuchs since Emperor Taizu. The first commander of Jin Yiwei was an eunuch. Emperor Taizong established the East Factory, which was in charge of the eunuchs. They visited and reported evil and evil, and reported everything to the emperor directly. The first department of the second prison.
The supervisor of ceremonies is not only in charge of the affairs of eunuchs in the inner court, but also involved in the affairs of foreign courts, which is the so-called "no prime minister in name, but a prime minister in reality".
Lu Yan is the envoy of the general commander, Li Jian and concurrently the supervisor of the East Factory. He serves the emperor every day. It can be said that the emperor obeys his words, powerful, arrogant and domineering, and everyone avoids him.
Offending Lu Yan, isn't he courting death?
No wonder just now, no matter how much Xie Tiao compliments Li Baozhen, he won't pay for it.
A former jade cicada, Xie Tiao handed it to Li Baozhen, but he returned it.
Xie Tiao once again remembered the marriage bestowed by the former emperor, and sighed deeply. He had to admit that the Xie family has experienced ups and downs for so many years, and now it is time to face a crisis.
Wife is a virtuous husband with few misfortunes. Since marrying Feng Shi, the Xie family has never had a single day of peace.
It's just, it's useless to think about it now?
Xie Tiao hurriedly apologized, "Last night I was on duty in the yamen. I was not at home. I didn't know that Mr. Lu sent someone to come. The concierge is so negligent. I really deserve to die. I don't know which lord came. I will definitely come to the door to apologize some other day. !"
Feng's heart was full of apprehension, his eyes were downcast, and he dared not say anything.
It was Xiao who looked at Li Baozhen and thought to himself, he was just an eunuch, the lowest servant in the palace, and his father-in-law was so polite to him, he really lost his integrity as a scholar.
She knew what happened last night, so she came forward to say hello, "Grandpa Li, our family's rules are that the lock is locked at the first watch, and the eldest girl hasn't come back after the hour. It's a misunderstanding for the eldest girl to be upright and orderly, but I didn't expect to neglect the distinguished guest because of this."
Li Baozhen squinted his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Xiao, thinking, how could the Changyang uncle's mansion raise such an idiot? He didn't pay attention to Xiao Shi, but raised his chin and looked up at the sky, "Thank you, sir, the eldest girl is here, let's announce the decree!"
The imperial decree was actually issued to Xie Zhiwei, Feng and Xiao couldn't help but glance behind them, feeling a bad premonition suddenly in their hearts.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" After the whole hall shouted long live, the order was arranged, and they knelt down to receive the order.
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said: Zhiwei, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, is beautiful and famous, gentle and graceful, graceful and graceful, dignified and rui, Ke Lingkerou, Anzhen Yeji, Yonghe pure and pure. The book will be canonized as The head of the second-rank county, titled Duanxian, gave food to three hundred households, a thousand acres of fertile land, one Huangzhuang, a thousand taels of gold, twenty pieces of brocade, and twenty pieces of decorative satin. This is yours!"
After Li Baozhen read the imperial decree, Xie Zhiwei stared blankly at the ground for a long time, feeling like a dream, how could it be? What on earth has she done that is of great merit to the country, to be able to be canonized as the county head, not to mention, she is still a county head with food.
This honor may not even be given to the prince's daughter.
As we all know, generally only the women of the royal family have the title of title, and that is when they leave the cabinet, they get a title of title and raise their status, that's all.
There is a world of difference between a title with a food town and a title without a food town!
Xie Tiao also thought that he had heard wrong, and found it incredible.
When Zeng Shiyi sent someone to notify him, he only said that the emperor had a decree to reward Xie Zhiwei, but he didn't say how to reward him. He thought, at most some rewards, but he didn't expect it to be a title, and food.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
Li Baozhen closed the imperial edict, looked at Xie Zhiwei with a smile, and reminded, "County Duanxian, the edict has been accepted!"
Xie Zhiwei quickly came back to her senses, she raised her hands, Li Baozhen put the imperial decree in her hands, she shouted long live, "Duan Xian accepts the decree, thank you Lord Long En!"
Xie Zhiwei's etiquette is naturally impeccable, but Li Baozhen looked at her smiling, not ecstatic, but still calm and dignified, thinking to himself, this little girl is indeed the daughter of the Xie family, at such a young age, she is overjoyed, It is really rare to be able to still be flattered or humiliated, and not lacking in etiquette, and it is also worthy of the word "duanxian".
Li Baozhen's attitude towards her became even more respectful, and said, "Our family is here to congratulate the county magistrate, the imperial decree has been conveyed, so our family will not stay any longer!"
Li Baozhen walked two steps, remembered something again, turned around and said, "Miss, let's arrange to enter the palace to thank you three days later, wait for the Ministry of Rites to deliver the imperial uniform, and the girl will dress decently before entering the palace to thank you!"
Xie Zhiwei smiled sweetly at Li Baozhen, "Thank you, father-in-law!"
Li Baozhen also felt that it was as sweet as eating sugar. This little girl saved the governor's life. She is capable and has a good temper. It's no wonder the governor will take more care of her.
Xie Tiao hurriedly said, "I have Lao Gonggong, and housekeeper Li will send him off for me."
With that said, Xie Tiao gave Steward Li a wink. Steward Li naturally understood such things. He stretched out his hand and said "please". After pinching, it contained the little cicada jade carving from the previous dynasty, and I was very satisfied.
After sending off those angels, Xie Tiao took the imperial decree from Xie Zhiwei's hand, and he couldn't hide his excitement.
Who would have thought that the Xie family could produce a county head?
