Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"Since Pei Qing is not here, let's not mention the scoundrel. Cui Dong, the magistrate of Jingyang County, made me quite annoyed. What do you think?"

Changsun Wuji stood closest to Li Er, hearing this, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, he bowed slowly, and said: "The old minister is guilty"

Li Er waved his hand and said: "My Tang Dynasty is in full swing, and a few criminal officials can't destroy the country. Since Cui Dong was recommended by you, let you deal with it!"

"The old minister thanked His Majesty!"

Changsun Wuji stood up slowly, but there was no strange expression on his face.

Li Er seemed to be in a good mood after taking advantage of this matter to beat up a group of important officials, with a smile on his face again, and said: "Wynn, go to the Liu family to announce the decree and tell Liu Baizhen that he is here!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Chapter 6: The Imperial Decree Arrives! !The Liu family...is actually related to the emperor?

In front of the Liu family mansion, it was eerily quiet at the moment.

Although Liu Bai still had a smile on his face, but that strong aura made people dare not look him in the eye.

The Fourth Young Master managed to squeeze out a smile, and said, "Why bother with Dali Temple for such a trivial matter?"

Cui County Magistrate also said with a dry smile: "That's right, that's right. I have full power to deal with matters in Jingyang County. If Mr. Liu has any grievances, just explain it to me. There is no need to go to Chang'an."

Shopkeeper Huo and the others immediately turned pale when they heard the words.

They are all people who have been in business for many years, even if they don't understand the law, they can see the current situation clearly.

No matter what today, they are all set!

"Lord Cui, you must speak with conscience, you didn't tell the fourth son before you came here"

"shut up!"

County magistrate Cui shouted loudly, for fear that shopkeeper Huo would tell the truth.

"Looking at your appearance, there must be something hidden behind this matter. When the official finds out the truth, if you are really cheating the Liu family, you must give Mr. Liu an explanation!"

He couldn't help but order a few yamen servants to press shopkeeper Huo to the ground and gag him tightly.

"No, no"

Shopkeeper Huo struggled desperately, but he couldn't hold back a few big and round yamen servants.

Seeing the tragic situation of shopkeeper Huo, the rest of the wealthy businessmen were even more trembling. Some of them wanted to say something, but they all bowed their heads in the face of Cui County Magistrate's murderous gaze, and they dared not argue any more.

Stealing chickens is not enough to lose a lot of rice. Not only will they not get the Liu family's family property today, but they may even have to pay for their own family property.

Magistrate Cui put on an amiable look again, and said, "Young Master Liu, are you satisfied with this treatment?"

Liu Bai took a deep look at County Magistrate Cui and the Fourth Young Master, and was about to speak when a loud shout came from afar.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of hooves.

"The decree has arrived!!!"

"Liu Family Liu Bai, quickly accept the order!"

Hearing the sound, everyone looked for the reputation, and saw a man dressed as an eunuch leading a group of guards in golden armor coming on horseback.

At this moment, everyone was shocked!

Fourth Young Master and County Magistrate Cui's expressions changed drastically, their eyes widened and their faces were full of disbelief.

The surrounding people let out a sound of gasping for air.

Holy decree?

There is only one person in the world who can be called a saint, and that is Li Er who has only been on the throne for less than a year.

The Liu family actually has something to do with the emperor? !

Even Liu Wan'er and Liu Rong'er were completely stunned at this moment.

They have lived in the Liu family since they were young, and they have never heard of when the Liu family had anything to do with the emperor.

"Imperial decree? Li Er?"

Seeing the group of gold-armored guards slowly approaching from the crowd, although Liu Bai was also very surprised in his heart, he didn't show any strangeness on his face.

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he denied them one by one.

"The Liu family has been doing business for generations. Although they have lived in the capital for a long time, they have never been contaminated by the royal family. Could it be before the founding of the Tang Dynasty?"

Looking at the face of the eunuch who was galloping towards Liu's house with the imperial decree in his hand, there seemed to be a slight smile on the face of the eunuch, and Liu Bai had some suspicions in his heart.

"Before Li Er came to the throne, he fought in the north and south for more than ten years. Maybe he was in trouble somewhere, and he ran into my father who was a businessman."

Liu Bai thought to himself.

All thoughts flashed in an instant, and the next moment, he lightly lifted the hem of his robe and said, "Liu Family Liu Bai, accept the order!"

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty once said that Young Master Liu doesn't need to be formal, just stand and listen to the servants' edicts!"

While speaking, a group of people had already stopped in front of the Liu family mansion.

Wynn got off his horse, holding a bright yellow imperial decree in one hand, with a smile on his face.

He took a few steps forward, walked in front of Liu Bai, and said: "Young Master Liu is so lucky, this servant has been with His Majesty for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have seen someone who has won such an honor!"

Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief, not because of the eunuch's attitude, but because, as a modern person who just came to the Tang Dynasty, he is not used to bowing down to others.

Although it is inevitable to salute when meeting Li Er in the future, it is as little as possible.

After all, now Liu Bai not only represents himself, but also a famous Zhuge Wuhou.

"Thank you, my lord servant!"

Wynn was taken aback, and suddenly he had a good impression of Liu Bai in his heart.

When ordinary people meet eunuchs like them, they often call them 'Eunuch', but they don't know that they are also quite sensitive to the word 'Eunuch'.

The servant, after all, sounds much better.

Looking at Liu Bai's neither humble nor overbearing demeanor, he couldn't help but think highly of Liu Bai again.

Wynn thought to himself, such a magnanimity will definitely suit the emperor's appetite, this son has a limitless future!

But immediately, he turned his head to look at the Fourth Young Master and County Magistrate Cui who had been frightened for a long time, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

"The imperial decree has arrived, why don't you kneel down? Do you have a heart of disobedience?"

Facing Wynn's sword-like gaze, the Fourth Young Master and Magistrate Cui shuddered, and then fell to their knees in a hurry.

wow——

People around also knelt down.

Huai En smiled slightly at Liu Bai, cleared his throat, and read: "The emperor said: I only govern the world with kindness and filial piety. Without kindness and filial piety, there is no country. Zai, I am the country, and I follow the teachings of kindness and filial piety. Duke Yongnian of the Liu family treated people generously and was willing to do good deeds. I deeply appreciate his goodness and bestow upon Liu Yongnian the posthumous posthumous title of Lord Wenyi to tell the world!"

Chapter 7: My old Cheng treats you well on weekdays, but do you have any inside information?

The content of the imperial decree is very difficult to pronounce, and ordinary people can't understand what it is saying.

But those who had read some books in the room were all shocked, especially Cui County Magistrate, who had been an official for many years, stayed on the spot!

The first half of the content has no real meaning, it's just a prescribed format, and the real weight is the word 'Wen Yi Gong'!

After his own family, the emperor often gave posthumous titles to ministers of civil and military affairs after their death in order to commend their loyalty.

Especially for literati, the quality of their posthumous names is even more important than their lives!

Throughout the ages, in order to win a good posthumous title, more than one or two people were killed on the pillars of the imperial palace.

Although 'Wen Yi Gong' is not as good as 'Wen Zhen' and 'Wen Cheng', it is by no means what ordinary ministers can expect.

Liu Yongnian, to put it bluntly, is just a man, and has never been an official in the court. Why did Li Er give such a "big reward"?

Liu Bai was also quite surprised.

Seeing this, my father, whom I have never met, not only helped Li Er, but even saved Li Er's life!

Wynn was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, looked away at Liu Bai, and said with a smile, "Young Master Liu, are you still not accepting the order?"

Liu Bai took the imperial decree with both hands, and said: "Thank you for the servant, I don't know the name of the servant."

Wynn's smile became more intense, and he said: "How can a taboo name in the world be used in the palace, Mr. Liu just called the servant Wynn!"

"It turned out to be Wynn's servant, Liu Bai is being polite!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Bai slightly bowed his body and cupped his hands.

Huai En quickly supported him, and said: "Mr. Liu, now is not the time to exchange pleasantries. His Majesty's royal driver is coming, so Mr. Liu should make preparations early!"

Pfft!

The others were not doing anything, but Cui County Magistrate, who was kneeling next to him, passed out with a 'plop'.

This day brought him too much shock. When he heard that the emperor was going to visit Liu's house in person, his fragile heart couldn't hold on any longer.

Although the fourth young master did not faint, his face was terrifyingly pale. He knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, and cold sweat fell down.

Huai En smiled meaningfully, and said to Liu Bai: "If Mr. Liu has any embarrassment, just tell the servant directly!"

Liu Bai pondered for a while, and said: "The matter has been settled, and the servant has a heart."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands to Wynn again, walked to the gate of the mansion, helped the two sisters Liu Wan'er up, and said: "The emperor is coming soon, why don't you order someone to sweep the courtyard and tidy up the main hall!"

Liu Wan'er shook her head, and said: "Yes, yes, what my husband said is true!"

She hurriedly pulled Liu Rong'er into Liu's house.

The door of Liu's house was wide open, and all the maids and servants got busy.

Not long after, the mighty royal chariot came, but the people around did not get up.

Ordinary people don't have many chances to see the emperor, and with the help of the Liu family, they are also fortunate to have a glimpse of the sky.

As for shopkeeper Huo and others, they dared not move even more.

The emperor is here, any inappropriate move will be a catastrophe!

When Yu Jia stopped slowly, Liu Bai stepped forward, held up the hem of his robe, and bowed slowly to salute.

"Cao Min Liu Bai, see Your Majesty!"

Li Er stepped off the dragon carriage, walked up to Liu Bai, ignored the astonished gaze of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and personally helped Liu Bai up.

Looking up and down a few times, seeing Liu Bai's neither humble nor overbearing, Li Er chuckled and said, "Mr. Wen Yi gave birth to a good son!"

Liu Bai bowed his head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty's absurd praise, please come into the humble house to tell me!"

He took a step back, turned sideways, and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Er was first, Liu Bai was beside him, and Huai En and a group of civil and military ministers followed and walked towards Liu's house.

When passing by the Fourth Young Master and others, Li Er paused slightly and let out a soft snort.

The voice was very soft, but when it fell on the ears of the Fourth Young Master and the others, it was like a thunderstorm, making them dizzy.

"It's over, it's over"

The fourth young master muttered in his mouth, and his body fell limply to the ground.

Naturally, Li Er was not interested in paying attention to the little people. Under Liu Bai's guidance, he walked into Liu's house and sat down in the main hall.

The courtyard of the Liu family is very large, even if all the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty are standing in it, it still looks a bit empty.

The surrounding scenery is also quite pleasant, but the emperor is now in the main hall not far away, and the civil and military ministers did not dare to move, so they had to stand in two rows according to the order in the court hall.

They could see at a glance, at the end of the main hall, Li Er who was worshiping the spiritual tablet, and Liu Bai standing behind.

Among the generals, Chai Shao, who was ranked third, lowered his head, thinking about something.

Suddenly felt someone stabbed him from behind, and immediately frowned, and said in a low voice, "What are you going to do again?"

Obviously, it wasn't the first time the person behind him had done this.

"Old Chai, my old Cheng treats you well on weekdays, but do you have any inside information?"

This is a strong man with a beard and a rough look. Although he is not young, he is not honest at all standing in the queue.

"Where did the inside story come from? Your Majesty is in a bad mood today, don't worry about it!"

Cheng Yaojin snorted a few times, and said: "Just now outside Liujiazhuangzi, His Majesty only asked you and Changsun Wuji to enter the dragon carriage, he must have explained something to you, don't think that I, old Cheng, are being fooled! "
