The door of the ancestral hall was wide open, and Pei Ziyun and his distant relatives of the Pei family were all waiting in front of the ancestral hall.
A white-faced eunuch came forward, guarded by bodyguards, looked at it, looked at the incense table in front of the ancestral hall, and nodded without being rude.
"Receive the edict!" The eunuch held the imperial edict in his hands and stepped forward to stand in front of the incense table.
"Long live." Pei Ziyun, Pei Qian, and the Pei family all bowed.
"The imperial edict says: The father of Yingzhou Juren Ziyun, who cultivates the land well, knows how to harvest the grains, is filial and never forgets his relatives, and whose bow is still there, should be worshiped and praised in Haoli. This gift is given to you as Wen Linlang, and his mother Qian's family After hard work and education, I have gone through hundreds of hardships, and I have granted you the title of Ruren. I appreciate this."
"Accept the order!" the eunuch said.
"Thank you, long live long live!" Pei Ziyun and everyone bowed again.
The guard came forward, holding a silver plate in both hands. On the plate was a set of seventh-grade children's clothes. Although they were only seventh-grade, the children were crowned with pearls, emeralds, and precious stones, which shone in the sun.
Pei Qian's body trembled and he stepped forward to receive the reward.
Pei Ziyun stepped forward to receive the imperial edict. When the imperial edict fell into Pei Ziyun's hand, he took a closer look and saw that it was red silk embroidered with gold thread. It began with the inscription "Edict" and at the end was stamped with the seal "Treasure of Imperial Order".
Pei Ziyun had become a yin god. At this moment, Pei Ziyun felt a powerful force. This power was not the light red air flowing on the imperial edict, but the power behind the imperial edict.
"Please wait a moment, father-in-law." Pei Ziyun said. Unlike the ministers who were on errands, this kind of eunuch returned to his original identity after pronouncing the holy order and was no longer an angel.
"Just go ahead, Mr. Jie Yuang," the eunuch said.
Pei Ziyun returned to the ancestral hall and placed the edict in front of the confession. Placing it in the ancestral hall was just a courtesy. This kind of edict could be stored in the person's home and passed down from generation to generation. After a while, it would be collected and treasured.
Just as he put it up, a faint dragon roar sounded, and Pei Ziyun's eyes suddenly changed. He saw only a gray and black place with a little bit of white air. The building below looked familiar, but it was an ancestral hall, only much bigger.
The faint sound of dragon roars descended, and pure white air was seen hanging down, with a little red in it.
As soon as Father Pei paid his respects in the ancestral hall, he transformed into official clothes and emitted light. The wall of the ancestral hall immediately rose, and there was a plaque in front of the door.
"This is the true meaning of Guangzong Yaozu."
"Even if they are conferred by the imperial court as martyrs, loyal guards, etc., there is actually no essential difference between them and this Wen Linlang. It only depends on the grace of the dragon's decline."
"The true king who was originally canonized by the master's sect is far above."
After everything disappeared, Pei Ziyun shook his head and sighed, walked out quickly, invited the eunuch to the banquet, and poured wine from a bottle himself. Pei Qian was filled with joy and sorrow. With gratitude for the emperor's kindness and joy for his son, even those who didn't drink drank a few drinks. Cup, there is no need to elaborate on these.
"Father-in-law, please speak inside." Pei Ziyun came to his father-in-law and whispered.
After hearing this, the father-in-law laughed: "Pei Jieyuan has invited me, how can I not obey?"
Pei Ziyun led the eunuch to the side room, took out three hundred taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them over, laughing: "Father-in-law, it's been very hard for you to travel all the way. I hope my father-in-law will accept these three hundred taels of silver notes from Jingrong Bank. A little money for tea is not a sign of respect."
The eunuch glanced at the banknotes and saw that they were all stamped by Jingrong Villa, one hundred taels each. He said with joy on his face: "Mr. Xie Yuan is thoughtful. He really understands our family's thoughts. Our family also If you don’t refuse, you will accept it.”
The eunuch stretched out his hand, took the silver, and stuffed it into his arms.
The eunuch accepted it, rolled his eyes, and in a low voice asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xie Yuangong, this gift is very precious. I wonder if you have anything to ask our family?"
Pei Ziyun asked in a low voice: "I am scared, I don't know the reason for the honor issued by the Holy One. I want to know the reason, and I would like to ask my father-in-law to tell me."
"Haha, Mr. Xie Yuangong, I thought you wanted to inquire about something, but it turns out it's this. Don't worry, Mr. Xie Yuangong, you deserve it..." The eunuch said with a smile. Seeing Pei Ziyun's puzzled face, he whispered: "This In fact, the matter is not the Holy One, but the Prince."
"Did Duke Jie Yuang save a woman on his way to Beijing?" The eunuch said as he glanced around more cautiously.
"What does this have to do with this?" Pei Ziyun asked, a little surprised. Could it be that he saved a royal family member back then
The eunuch said: "The prince is happy to have a grandson. The emperor is very happy. His favor spreads all over the world. Duke Jie Yuang was recommended by the prince. It must be related to this matter."
The eunuch looked at Pei Ziyun with envy in his heart. Although Liang Di was not the crown prince, she was the mother of the prince's only son, which was a great achievement.
"What, the prince is overjoyed to have a grandson?" Pei Ziyun was shocked. This news had not spread around the world yet. In the memory of the original owner, the prince had no sons at all. In the later period, King Lu dared to fight and even took the throne.
Whether the prince has an heir or not is a matter of fortune in the world. Could it be possible that he saved a random woman on the way to Beijing and gave birth to a son for the prince
Pei Ziyun looked at the eunuch and immediately understood that the eunuch might not know much and only envied himself for his great achievements. No wonder he was so polite, but he knew the history well and immediately changed his mind.
"In my first memory, I only knew about Xie Chengdong, then I knew about King Lu, and now I know that the prince has an heir. If the prince has an heir, he will have a high chance of inheriting the throne."
"I have completely offended King Lu to death, and I have no choice but to become his enemy."
"But after King Lu ascends the throne, he will face the joint strangulation of the Taoist Supreme of the World and the Supreme of the World. Now things may take a turn for the better!"
"Prince, is he unreliable? Can he ascend the throne?" In an instant, Pei Ziyun's mind went back and forth.
"Jie Yuangong, Jie Yuangong?" The eunuch shouted hurriedly when he saw the shock on Pei Ziyun's face and seemed a little dazed.
"I was just a little stunned after hearing about the big news. I hope my father-in-law can forgive me." Pei Ziyun reacted after being urged and said with a smile on his face.
The eunuch was equally kind: "Jie Yuangong, it seems that the rumors are true. You have made great contributions to the prince and Sheji. You have entered the Taoist sect, and the reward falls on your parents. But this little favor is nothing. From now on, we will have long blessings." .”
There was a hint of envy in the eunuch's words. He saved the emperor's grandson and had great merits for the prince. As long as the prince ascends the throne, he will indeed have long-term blessings. If the grandson can still ascend the throne, he will be favored by the second emperor.
"Come here, serve tea to the father-in-law." Pei Ziyun ordered.
Whether you can drink the tea or not, the eunuch remembered the matter at this time and said: "Jie Yuangong, tea is a small matter. I only heard about the name of Jie Yuangong's literature early, and I also wanted to ask him to write a poem and take it with him to soak up the literary spirit. .”
After listening to the words, Pei Ziyun pondered for a while. There may have been room for change with King Lu, but now there is no room for change. This father-in-law may be able to make friends and retain personal favors that can be used when there is an opportunity in the future. After thinking about it, he said : "I wonder which poem my father-in-law wants to write?"
A servant just handed tea and water, and the father-in-law took it. Hearing Pei Ziyun's response, he laughed: "Haha, Mr. Xie Yuang is so refreshing. He thinks highly of us. Unlike those foreign officials who are different from what they are, I am in the palace. , My favorite is that Mr. Xie Yuan will be drinking. I would like to ask Mr. Xie Yuan to be fair. The Sa family is very grateful."
"Please, father-in-law, please bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone later!" Pei Ziyun ordered.
After a moment, someone brought up pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Pei Ziyun spread out the papers and pressed them down with a paperweight.
The father-in-law came forward and said, "We are here to study ink for Mr. Jieyuan."
After saying that, he stepped forward, picked up Fang Mo and started grinding it gently.
Later, after the ink was well ground, Pei Ziyun took a wolf-brush pen, dipped it in the ink, and started writing: "If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, and flows to the sea never to return."
"Good poems and good calligraphy, Jie Yuangong has a unique artistic conception when he writes them." The father-in-law praised.
Pei Ziyun didn't say a word, but wrote continuously, with flying dragons and phoenixes, and the pen tip was full of strength, writing all the way to the last sentence, "The call will be exchanged for fine wine, and I will sell the eternal sorrow with you!"
As soon as Pei Ziyun retracted the tip of his pen, his father-in-law immediately applauded: "The poem is really famous. The Sa family must understand Yuan Gong's calligraphy. When we go back, we won't envy those guys in the Palace of Death!"
Pei Ziyun didn't say anything. The eunuch took the poem and seemed very satisfied. He suddenly approached and lowered his voice: "Since Mr. Xie Yuang agreed to my request, I can't be stingy. I told Mr. Xie Yuang a rumor. It is said that the prince has a son, King Lu. His Highness is furious, Duke Xie Yuan is careful."
Pei Ziyun's expression changed after hearing what he said. The father-in-law straightened his body and loudly said, "Thank you very much for the tea, Mr. Xie Yuang. I can't stay at Sajia for too long. I have to return to the capital to report to the emperor. Mr. Xie Yuan has resigned."
"I don't know your father-in-law's name yet." Pei Ziyun asked quickly.
"The family's surname is Liu. Duke Jie Yuang can call me Eunuch Liu." The father-in-law said goodbye. Pei Ziyun stepped forward to see him off and went out. Guards were on the left and right, and he walked away and disappeared into the distance.
Pei Ziyun looked back, walked a few steps, and sighed.
Just now Mr. Liu's warning sounded the alarm. How could he avoid King Lu's revenge
Woniu Village cannot stay any longer. No one knows how powerful King Lu is.
Just as Pei Ziyun was thinking about it, the village chief led the villagers to congratulate him: "It's great to congratulate you. Mr. Jie Yuan is such a blessed man. The Pei family has a glorious ancestor. This is a rare happy event in Woniu Village for hundreds of years."
The village chief came to congratulate him, and Pei Ziyun also responded. With the imperial edict issued, I'm afraid there will be people congratulating him in the next few days.
"Mrs. Pei, you really have a good son in your family. Not only is he well-known, but he also won an official position for you. It's really enviable." I heard the woman talking to Pei Qian again.
Pei Ziyun looked at Mrs. Pei Qian's smile and felt tight in her heart, without showing a trace of it on her face: "Mom, it's a big day for me today, so I have to make preparations and hold a banquet to entertain everyone."
"You can arrange these." Pei Qian said with a smile. The Pei family will honor its ancestors and die without regrets.
"Yes, mother, I will make arrangements. After everything is done, you can go to the state capital. I also want to travel. You are alone at home, and you look lonely." Pei Ziyun said while it was hot.
"Okay, okay, okay." Pei Qian replied repeatedly with a smile on her face.
After a few days, I immediately sent my mother and Liao Qingye to the Fu Mansion. It might be safer under the care of the master, but it's hard to say.
In the past, when we fought against the Holy Prison Gate, the master was able to protect us, but with King Lu
Not to mention the Fu Mansion, even the entire Songyun Gate may not be covered, but there is no way at the moment. It is safer than being in the village, and I can't stay in the village.
The thought flashed past, but Pei Ziyun didn't mention it and sighed: "Oh, the storm is coming!"
