Chapter 468: The Imperial Edict and the Conception
“Yes, Uncle.”
Xiao Yibo immediately responded and hurried down to make arrangements.
Liang Cheng said jokingly at this time:
“The Lord is floating.”
Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:
“That’s not the case. Last time, I was just General Shengle, a miscellaneous general. I won and defended the Snow Customs by gambling my life.< br>
Why do you have to work so hard, why do you have to be so reckless?
Isn’t it just to force a way forward for yourself in this way?
So,
When I saw the imperial envoy proclaiming the edict, what I saw was actually not an imperial edict, but an affirmation of the blood and fire in my past. After all the hard work, it was finally time to bear fruit, so I was so excited that I couldn't bear it; < br>
Nowadays, I can be said to be in the mainstream, even if I put aside the importance that Marquis Jingnan places on me, there are more than 20,000 soldiers, and they are mainly elite cavalry;
The ones under my feet are Snow Customs connecting Jindi and Snowfield.
No matter what you do, it’s okay. It’s not even a matter of shaking your feet, which will make the big swallow tremble, but if you really want to go crazy and cause another savage rebellion, there will be no problem.
This man, wherever he sits, he must have a certain posture.
This is not something you can learn, and it cannot be learned. If you force yourself to learn it, you will be like a monkey, which is what you said just now, Cheng.
It’s strange to say,
In my last life, I opened a studio and only had a few people under me, so my life was simple;
In this life, it’s all thanks to you. , but it was a wonderful life;
I always felt that it was difficult to be a good person, as if saying a word, doing a thing, or even coughing had to be full of meaning;
Now, I discovered that the most difficult thing is actually how to sit in the position of superior. It is like a dish has been prepared and placed in front of you. Next, do you eat it with chopsticks or a knife and fork? Do you want to chew it carefully? It's up to you whether you want to eat slowly and politely or if you want to feast. ”
“But it may attract criticism? "Liang Cheng asked.
"Criticism? What did you do just now? ”
“Not just me. "Liang Cheng said.
"This is even simpler, just like you are sitting in a Western restaurant and telling the waiter that you want an eight-mature steak, and then someone at the table next to you is laughing at you for asking for eight-mature steak. Ripe steak.
And people who can eat a steak with a sense of superiority and ritual usually have much lower self-esteem and no sense of existence. Why do you care about such people? "
Liang Cheng nodded and said, "I don't care anymore. "
"Yes. "
"I kind of understand. "
Zheng Fan was a little surprised and said: "So, were you really asking me just now? ”
"Lord, I'm learning, I'm learning to try to joke, and I'm learning to deal with some relationships between people."
"But I still think the cold you in the comics is cooler."
“Lord, in our eyes, You who stay up all night and have messy hair are the most kind in my life."
Zheng Fan nodded and said: "Yes, people will always change, just enjoy the process of change."
“Yes, my lord.”
Liang Cheng is set as an ancient zombie in the comics. He once served as a general in the war between demons and gods, but was later cooked by cunning rabbits and lackeys because of his great achievements.
But just as Maomaru is now obsessed with raising children, and Siniang, who has no feelings for men and only regards the romantic field as a landscape painting, is now thinking about having a child of her own,
It is normal for this cold zombie to want to make up for some of its shortcomings.
Zheng Fan walked in front, and Liang Cheng followed behind.
Jin Shuke and others are preparing to salute,
Zheng Fan directly waved his hand and said:
"Okay, save your energy and kowtow to the imperial edict later. Now let's sit down for a while and drink some tea. It will be a while before the imperial envoy enters the city."
"Yes, uncle."
"Yes, uncle."
In the hall, there are slaves serving tea.
These slaves are basically a group of orphan girls adopted by Siniang. After a few years, they have not grown up, but they are already able to do things. According to the generally beastly side of this world, they have reached the age where they can be betrothed. , but according to Siniang’s opinion, there are still people to serve in the mansion anyway, so let’s keep them, at least they know the basics.
When he grows up a little, he can be betrothed to a general or subordinate in the army, which is also a good destination.
Uncle Zheng once asked Siniang with a smile, is this the Snow Customs version of the Silver Armored Guard?
Siniang’s answer is, regardless of whether it counts or not, the effect is actually the same.
Uncle Zheng picked up the teacup, and all the generals below also picked up the teacup.
Immediately,
Uncle Zheng laughed,
and everyone laughed too.
The imperial envoy came very quickly, much faster than expected.
This means that the imperial envoy did not slow down after encountering the sentries outside the Snow Customs, but continued to gallop. Although not as fast as the messenger soldiers who came back to report the message, this hurrying attitude But it is already very clear.
Ordinary imperial envoys must pay attention to their appearance. When they are about to arrive at the place, they must stop first. If they are more elegant, they must take a shower and brush their horses. At the worst, they must change into clean clothes to cover up the smell of the dust. .
But this one, obviously not.
Uncle Zheng waved his hand and said
“Walk and accompany me to receive the order.”
The generals stood up and followed Zheng Fan out of the hall.
At this time, the imperial envoy who announced the decree had just entered the gate of Pingye Bofu.
Generally speaking, the edict-proclaiming team should be one eunuch who declares the edict and one official with six subordinates.
The grade of the eunuchs who declare the decree is uncertain, because the eunuchs in the palace, except for Wei Zhonghe, the rest are often favored now and they will lose power later. However, for the officials of the six departments, look at the resume first and then the style. You can probably see the value of the person being declared in the eyes of the emperor and the princes in the court.
The person holding the imperial edict is a young eunuch, fair-skinned, probably in his early twenties. At this age, if he can get this job, he will probably do well in the palace.
Behind the young eunuch is a young official with a dignified appearance. He wears a flying fish pendant on his left waist and a sword on his right waist. This combination seems a bit unusual.
Although the civil servants of Yan State are not as focused on manners and scholarly elegance as the civil servants of Qian State, they are still somewhat similar. There are very few who hang swords, let alone hang swords.
Two groups of people walked towards each other,
The young eunuch raised the imperial edict,
"Snow Customs General Soldier Hirano Uncle Zheng Fan accepts the edict!"
"Your Majesty, Zheng Fan, long live my emperor!"
Uncle Zheng knelt down,
Behind him,
all the generals knelt down. .
"The Emperor of Fengtian carried out the edict: Zheng Fan, the Bo of Pingye, guarded the border for the country. He worked hard and made great achievements, and even boasted of his feats. Since I came to the throne, I know that rewards and punishments are clearly defined and rules are established..."
The boasting here refers to retrieving the princess from Chu State.
In the imperial edict, it is naturally impossible to write like this: Zheng Fan, you kid has robbed the Princess of Chu for me, I am very happy!
So, contentment is hidden, but everyone knows it.
“Zheng Fan, the chief soldier of Fengxue Customs, is given the title of general of the state, and a barbarian sword is given as a reward to the barbarians...”
The young official came from behind. The attendant took a long box in his hand, walked up to Zheng Fan and opened the box.
Inside the box lies a simple-looking knife.
It is true that the barbarians are very poor. Many barbarian warriors are not fully armored, and even the heads of arrows have to be ground with bones. However, the barbarians have one extreme, and that is the weapons and weapons used by the upper class of the barbarians. Armor is often surprisingly good.
Because the barbarians are located between the East and the West, to a certain extent, they can absorb the forging and smelting technology from the East and the West. However, due to their own poverty, they are unable to carry out large-scale production, so they often form this kind of It is a very embarrassing situation. The barbarians are rich in precious swords and famous armor, but the armor rate of the Golden Horde cavalry under the royal court is actually not high.
"Uncle Zheng, please take the sword." the young official reminded.
This man had a bright smile on his face, and his enthusiasm made Uncle Zheng a little overwhelmed for a moment.
But Uncle Zheng still nodded and took out the wild knife. The wild knife was very heavy. If you pull out a section, you can feel its aura.
This is indeed a treasured sword!
Until now, Uncle Zheng has not had any commendable weapons, but he has encountered many famous swords. It is a pity that Uncle Zheng does not practice swordsmanship, otherwise he would have used them as table-legs in the sword master's house next door. Long Yuan stole it.
As for the famous sword,
Uncle Zheng knew that Jingnanhou had a kun knife in his belly, which was an important weapon of the country given by Emperor Yan.
I know, I know,
but Uncle Zheng doesn’t dare to steal it.
It's better now,
I have one myself.
Although I don't know how "treasured" it is, it is at least better than the knives I used before.
The most important thing is that there are no gems inlaid on it and it does not have a unique shape. It is just simple and simple.
This is in line with Uncle Zheng’s battlefield aesthetics. As for the knife, it can be used to kill people quickly. Aren’t all the bells and whistles a burden?
After seeing Zheng Fan take the sword,
the eunuch continued to declare:
"Give me a set of golden armor."
"Huh?"
The young official waved, and two followers came over carrying a box. They opened the box and found a golden armor inside.
This armor cannot be made of pure gold. How can pure gold armor be passed down to fight?
But since it is called Golden Armor, at least one thing can be guaranteed. Under the noon sun, if you wear it, you will be the most dazzling among a thousand soldiers.
Uncle Zheng whispered to Liang Cheng beside him:
"This armor is for you to wear."
"My lord, this is a gift from the emperor, isn't it?"
"On the battlefield, you are me, what's wrong with that? Okay?”
Liang Cheng thought for a moment and made a suggestion, and this suggestion proved that Liang Cheng was indeed thinking about improving his behavior as a person,
He said:
"You can wear it for A Ming."
Uncle Zheng's eyes lit up and he said:
"That's a good idea."
At the moment, he was lying in the ice cellar being fucked by three A Ming, who was still in a coma after being showered by the sky, didn't know yet, but he had been arranged in a clear and glittering way.
“Ahem......”
The eunuch who announced the decree couldn't help coughing when he saw that Zheng Fan actually whispered to a general beside him.
Of course, this is not a big disrespect, because it can be seen as Uncle Zheng being overjoyed, flattered, and grateful for the things given by His Majesty.
The young official reminded in a low voice: "Uncle, there is still the imperial edict."
"Huh?"
Uncle Zheng knelt down immediately.
The eunuch who announced the decree continued to read:
"Bo Pingye came to Beijing to have an audience before half of May. There must be no mistake. I admire this!"
What?
What.
What!
Uncle Zheng's eyes immediately widened. Going to Beijing?
I just came back from Chu State, you want me to go to the capital now?
How far is it from the capital?
How do I put it?
To the east of Yanjing, to the Horseshoe Mountains, it was considered the original border between Yan and Jin. There, It can be regarded as the westernmost point of Jin State, and Uncle Zheng is now equivalent to the easternmost point of Jin State.
When Uncle Zheng entered Chu, he walked through Mengshan Mountain, and when he came out, he walked along the Zhennanguan Pass. It was equivalent to walking from the west end of Chu State to the east end. Now, he had to do another long-distance east-west run in Jin State.
Of course, Uncle Zheng can accept it if it is just running. Now, no matter how long he rides a horse, he will not feel pain in his thighs, but the risk factor of going to Beijing is not low.
The last time I came to Beijing, I met Jingnanhou Tu Miemenmen. What about this time?
How long have you been home now, and you have to worry about it again?
"Uncle Hirano, accept the order."
Seeing that Zheng Fan had been wandering in his mind, the eunuch who announced the decree had no choice but to remind him.
Zheng Fan took a deep breath, with a happy and excited smile on his face,
"I accept the decree and thank you for your grace!"
The eunuch who announced the decree handed the decree to Zheng Fan held it in his hands, and immediately a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he began to take the initiative to get close to Zheng Fan.
Uncle Zheng is also capable of trouble,
The reason why I didn't go out of the city to receive the order before was because it was no longer necessary. Obviously, the two people who delivered the order didn't think there was anything wrong with what Uncle Zheng did.
Xiao Yibo immediately arranged the reception work. Uncle Zheng suppressed all the thoughts in his heart and personally entertained them with bottles.
During the dinner, I learned that the young eunuch named Feng Guan was the godson of Wei Zhonghe;
And the young official was a member of the Ministry of Rites named Zhang Yuanshan, who was also his " fan".
While eating wine, Zhang Yuanshan kept asking Zheng Fan about his past achievements. It can be seen that he has a deep yearning for the battlefield.
Later, Zhang Yuanshan also said which year he was elected, which actually hinted that he was the sixth prince.
From their mouths, Zheng Fan also learned that Xiao Liuzi had become a father and gave birth to a son named "Ji Chuanye". Well, a very meaningful name.
Zheng Fan has not received Xiao Liuzi’s letter yet, but they arrived earlier than Xiao Liuzi’s letter and told Zheng Fan the news earlier.
Fortunately, the two people who announced the decree were both young. If they were replaced by older eunuchs and officials, they would really be unable to bear this kind of long-distance journey.
Because His Majesty stated in the imperial decree the latest time for Uncle Zheng to enter Beijing, and the road from Xueguan to Yanjing was long, Feng Guan and Zhang Yuanshan could only rush on their way when they went there. Except for changing horses, I didn't dare to rest for too long.
Firstly, they were afraid that there would be some unexpected twists and turns on the road and they would be delayed. Secondly, they had to reserve enough time for Uncle Zheng to return to Beijing. If Uncle Zheng was delayed, Emperor Yan would most likely not hold Uncle Zheng responsible for his crimes. , the fault will only fall on them, which means that they announced the decree late, which caused Uncle Zheng to miss his departure date.
Finally, Feng Guan reminded Uncle Zheng that when he went to Beijing this time, he had to take the princess with him.
After the reception was over, Zheng Fan asked the blind man to continue his company while he left the table.
With a little bit of wine, Zheng Fan took the barbarian sword given by the emperor and walked to the back house.
The back house is very large. In addition to Uncle Zheng’s own bedroom and Tiantian’s bedroom, there is also a large unused area. Among them, there is a flat area that is not planted with any flowers and plants, but is specially used as a Pixiu. lock up.
What surprised Zheng Fan was that Siniang was feeding Pixiu with dried meat.
The Pixiu was eating very happily. When he saw Zheng Fan coming, he came out of the fence and nuzzled towards Zheng Fan.
The fence for this guy is just for fun, and no one restricts its freedom. Of course, it won’t run around, because there are many beings that it is afraid of living in the Earl’s Mansion, and it is so docile. very.
“Why aren’t you resting?”
Zheng Fan knew that Siniang was sleeping more these days in order to recover from her injuries as soon as possible.
"It woke up, and then I learned about the imperial edict, so I came over to feed it some fat."
When he entered the capital this time, Zheng Fan naturally had to ride this brave animal. After all, this brave animal is It was given by the palace, and it would be unreasonable for me not to ride it back.
Fortunately, if you have some protection along the way, there won't be much danger, so you don't have to worry about being conspicuous.
"My lord, this time the slave family will not go to the capital with you."
Due to her injury, Siniang is now unable to exert her maximum strength.
And the Demon King is a carrot and a trap. If someone wants to accompany the Lord to the capital, someone must stay behind.
"Well, I know, it's just a pity." Zheng Fan looked at Siniang and smiled, "I thought, haha, it seems like it will be delayed for a while longer."
"It's good. When the master comes back, the slave family will be completely restored. We want a baby like Tiantian, who won’t get sick and can be raised free-range.”
Tiantian has slept on the top of a stone coffin in Shatuoque since he was a child, and even played with Magic Pills, but he has never given birth. Even after being ill, I can enjoy myself alone without crying or making trouble.
It is really easy to raise a child like this.
"Yes." Zheng Fan stretched and said, "Let the blind man accompany me this time."
"This is natural, the blind man hasn't advanced yet."
Siniang and the blind man are both management talents, and one of them must stay behind.
Anyway, now that the military system has been changed, what is left is the development of people's livelihood and business operations this year, which is also Siniang's strength.
"Besides, my lord, please take Fan Li with you, and A Ming will have to stay at home."
"Okay."
After a pause,
Zheng Fan said again:
"When I came back a few days ago, I made an agreement with the Sword Master that next time When I go out, he will accompany me.”
“It’s a good relationship.”
"But until now, I'm not sure how much he has recovered."
Siniang smiled and said: "No matter how bad he is, can he be worse than that sword maker from Chu State?"
< br>Hearing this, Zheng Fan nodded and said, "That's the truth."
The sword maker has never fired a sword, but he has always been able to put tremendous pressure on people. The effect of the sword master will only be better than that of the sword maker. The division is bigger.
I don’t seem to like the faint and depressed feeling of separation in front of me,
Pixiu snorted and shook his head
forcibly destroying the atmosphere.
Uncle Zheng came back to his senses, looked at Pixiu, waved to Siniang and said:
“Come on, just in time, I almost forgot something, help me fix this thing ”
Uncle Zheng raised his sword as he spoke,
"Back in the battle formation, I once saw Tian Wujing slap Pi Xiu on the head, and Pi Xiu would spit out the sword and fall into it. In Tian Wujing's hand, tut tut, that posture and movement , It's so cool, it makes me hungry.
Come on, kneel down and open your mouth.
Well,
This knife seems a bit thick, you. Open your mouth wider,
If you dare to shut up, I will cut your head off with a knife.
Hurry,
Why would you call me Pixiu if you can't swallow things? If it were bigger, I would stab it in. ”
“…………”Pixiu.
