Chapter 34 The Sudden Imperial Decree

Chapter 45 The Sudden Imperial Decree

The current eunuchs can't exceed the third rank.

Moreover, his job was limited to taking care of the food and daily life of the emperor and his family. He was just a domestic slave and could not reach the level where he could control the emperor in the future.

Not to mention the emperor, in Chang'an City, even a seventh-rank civil servant would dare to point the nose at the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and scold him when he was in a hurry.

Although Eunuch Zhou has some status in the world of eunuchs, compared with the prince Li Chengqian, it is too insignificant.

"Oh, it's so hot!"

Eunuch Zhou took out a handkerchief embroidered with peonies from his sleeve, and wiped it on his forehead.

Finally, in the anticipation of Eunuch Zhou, Li Chengqian walked out of the city slowly, accompanied by a group of officials from the Governor's Mansion.

Eunuch Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately walked over quickly.

"This is an angel, right?" Li Chengqian said.

"Grandpa Li, you are well." Eunuch Zhou flattered his face.

"Well, aren't you going to read out the imperial decree? Where's the imperial decree?" Li Chengqian asked lightly.

Eunuch Zhou was a little depressed. The other people received the imperial edict, which one didn't respect the angels, and offered food and drink.

As a result, when it came to Li Chengqian, his role was reversed. As an angel, he had to be respectful when he read the imperial decree.

But there is no way, who is the prince? Although Li Shimin openly said that he was demoted to a concubine, the blood in his bones was a fact that could not be changed.

Li Chengqian could forgive Li Shimin for rebelling against him, which shows how favored he is.

"exactly…"

Eunuch Zhou stretched out his orchid finger and lightly tapped Li Chengqian's shoulder, winking at him charmingly, "Grandpa Li, please wait a moment..."

"Well…"

Li Chengqian shuddered, goosebumps fell all over the ground, for a moment, he almost wanted to take out a bright silver gun and stab this guy to death.

"Cough cough..."

Yang Chen and others behind him lowered their heads and tried their best to suppress their smiles.

Soon, Eunuch Zhou came over with a roll of bamboo tubes in his hand.

That's right, the imperial decree of the Tang Dynasty is not like a piece of bright yellow cloth like in TV dramas.

According to the Tang system, those who set up queens, crown princes, princes, and high officials above the third rank are called "books" and are written on bamboo slips.

When it comes to large rewards and punishments, conferring high official titles, reforming major old systems, pardoning prisoners of war, etc., they will be written on silk-yellow paper that will not infest insects. This is called bookmaking.

Letters of commendation and certificates of commendation issued to ministers are also written on silk yellow paper, which is a condolence book.

Therefore, the imperial decree of the Tang Dynasty did not use the term cloth silk at all. If there was... it might be a fake.

Eunuch Zhou opened the bamboo tube, cleared his throat, and began to read.

"Book making: under the door: I have inherited the order of the sky, and I am as good as the previous training... The Qianzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office was specially set up to govern Wuzhou and Shizhou... Li Chengqian, the Duke of Qianzhou, was appointed as the Qianzhou Metropolitan Governor to lead the military administration of the Qianzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office …It is advisable to make an order, and the master will carry it out.”

The voice fell, and the surroundings were silent.

Seeing Li Chengqian stunned in place, Eunuch Zhou coughed dryly, "Grandpa Li, you...it's time to accept the order."

"Yes, hahaha!"

Li Chengqian smiled openly, took the imperial decree directly, and said, "Well, Prince, right?"

"... "

The corner of Eunuch Zhou's mouth twitched, "Grandpa Li, it's Eunuch Zhou..."

"Okay, Eunuch Chen, I know!" Li Chengqian laughed and said, "Come here, take Eunuch Liu to the post office, and greet you with delicious food and drink."

"Not...slaves..."

Eunuch Zhou still wanted to struggle, but seeing Li Chengqian's happy face, he knew that he couldn't listen to anything now.

"My servant thanked Mr. Li."

Eunuch Zhou bowed, and then, led by Yang Chen and other officials, went to the post office in the city.

"Grandpa Li, congratulations!"

At this time, Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"This is really worthy of congratulations!" Li Chengqian said with emotion: "Now that I have the Governor's Mansion, I can develop Qianzhou with peace of mind!"

Before that, Li Chengqian was sneaky and didn't dare to make too much noise. After all, he killed the chief official of a state. Although Li Chengqian knew that Li Shimin would not kill him, he was really afraid that Li Shimin would transfer him away suddenly.

Now all his hard work is poured into Qianzhou. If he is transferred away, it will be a real beep.

"Mr. Li, according to the Tang system, the Metropolitan Government can have [-] soldiers, and it can be expanded to [-] during wartime."

"And... you are not only the Duke of Qian, but also the governor of Qianzhou, an official of the court, then you can go back to Chang'an..." Zhuge Liang said.

Li Chengqian squinted his eyes, "With the status of the governor, it will be much more convenient to do things in the future."

"By the way, you write a memorial about the fact that we killed more than 600 southern barbarians, and then ask that father-in-law to take him back to Chang'an. Previously, Li Tai sent people to ambush me halfway. This time, let's give him some trouble..."

Li Chengqian is not a generous person. As for Li Tai, sooner or later he will trample him underfoot.

But now, this is just the beginning. In the future, there will be many "surprises" for him.

"Well, Liang understands." Zhuge Liangliang nodded, and then said: "Grandpa Li, Eunuch Zhou came from the capital after all, and I'm afraid he knows a lot about Chang'an, you can go to him to find out. "

"I see, you go to work first."

"clear."

Zhuge Liang said, and left directly.

Li Chengqian stood there and pondered for a moment, then followed him into the city.

...

There is a post in Qianzhou for officials from other places to rest.

Moreover, the post house was not far from the governor's mansion, so Li Chengqian arrived at the post house not long after.

Now that Zhou Gongzheng is in the posthouse, enjoying the services of various officials.

"Eunuch Zhou, please try this ice cream. It's the hottest thing in Qianzhou right now. I guarantee you haven't eaten it before."

An official offered ice cream obsequiously and handed it to Eunuch Zhou.

"Humph!"

Eunuch Zhou raised his head slightly, snorted arrogantly, and said disdainfully: "Our family is in Chang'an, what delicacies have you never eaten?"

"Yes, yes, but this ice cream tastes okay. Although it is not as good as delicacies from mountains and seas, it is better than novelty."

"Oh?"

When Eunuch Zhou became interested, he twisted his orchid fingers and spooned a spoonful of ice cream.

After putting it into his mouth, Eunuch Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Huh? Interesting..."

Eunuch Zhou took a few bites again.

"The taste is not bad, ice cold, sweet and sour..."

"Wow, it's so delicious!"

Eating and eating, Eunuch Zhou went from being disdainful at the beginning to amazed now, but within a minute, his attitude took a 1-degree turn.

A bowl was finished quickly, and Eunuch Zhou was still a little unsatisfied.

At this moment, he stood up suddenly, and with a smile on his face, "Grandpa Li, you are here."

Hearing his words, all the officials turned around immediately and looked at him flatteringly.

"Stand back." Li Chengqian waved his hand.

"Here!"

The officials nodded in response, and they all left.

Li Chengqian looked at Eunuch Zhou with a smile, "Well, Eunuch Zhao, right?"

"... "

Eunuch Zhou had no choice but to change a few names in less than an hour.

"Master Li, why are you here?"

"It's nothing." Li Chengqian still had a smile on his face, "Eunuch Qian came here from Chang'an. He must be very tired, right?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Zhou quickly waved his hands and said, "Master Li, you are serious. For His Majesty, no matter how hard the slaves and servants work, it is worth it."
