"The imperial edict says: Qi Sheng Sect has committed illegal acts, and Qin Ning Zhenjun Pei Ziyun is encircling and suppressing them. I admire this!" The father-in-law took out the second edict and read it aloud. It was even simpler, with only this sentence.
"Thank you!" Pei Ziyun stood up. After the father-in-law announced the decree, his face changed into a smile, and he greeted Pei Ziyun: "My slave congratulates the true king!"
"Mr. Ren, take ten taels of gold." Pei Ziyun smiled: "Give it to this father-in-law!"
"Yes!" Ren Wei said. He went inside for a while and took out a gold ingot. The father-in-law received the reward and left the house. Pei Ziyun looked back and saw that the two edicts were different. The first one was an imperial edict, and this imperial edict was a green edict. Two colors of yellow silk, with the word "Fengtian" embroidered on the right hand side, and the stamp "Treasure of the Emperor". In fact, edicts are not commonly used. "Edict" is an edict to the world. According to the Daxu system, it can only be used for canonization of counts and above. Pei Ziyun Feng Zhenjun has just reached this level.
Attached is a set of the True Lord's clothes and a silver seal, seven cents thick and five cents each horizontally, with a Ganoderma Ruyi button and the four characters of the True Lord Qining.
Both the decree and the silver seal can be stored. Pei Ziyun said to a Taoist: "You can send the decree and the silver seal back to the door for storage. I have no need of them."
Then he said to Ren Wei: "This edict and the customs defense are the vouchers for errands. Please keep them for me."
"yes!"
The second-class edict is actually an edict, appointing and removing people from the fifth grade to the first grade, as well as the title of a man. "Zhiyue" is the edict written by the emperor himself. The specifications are similar, and the seal is "the treasure of making the edict".
And this volume is an edict, for appointments and dismissals below the fifth rank, it is stamped with the "treasure of edict" and is made of red silk.
Therefore, there are several levels of imperial edicts, and imperial edicts are also imperial edicts, but the powers they invoke are completely different. As for imperial envoys, customs defense, and the court system, official officials use official seals, all of which are square seals and use vermilion ink!
The Imperial Envoy used Guanfang, which was actually a rectangular official seal, made in silver or copper. The silver version was equivalent to that of the Governor-General, and the copper version was equivalent to the fourth grade. The only difference was that the Imperial Envoy used a purple-red seal seal to cover it.
The meaning of this imperial edict has actually standardized the authority. Pei Ziyun can call upon the county level, as well as the guerrilla generals and below, to complete his errands.
Moreover, this decree and defense must be paid after completion, and there are many rules in it.
Ren Wei agreed, not in a hurry, but full of joy and bowing seriously to Pei Ziyun: "Congratulations to the true king, congratulations to the lord!"
The true king is equivalent to the rank of earl, which is the highest peak in the history of Taoism. From then on, Pei Ziyun can be on an equal footing with the princes and generals.
Apart from anything else, in Yingzhou, Pei Ziyun's rank is the same as that of the governor. If he is found guilty, it is difficult to win over the governor. He must report to the court. Ren Wei calls himself the lord, which shows that he officially considers himself a retainer.
"Haha!" Pei Ziyun laughed, stood up, and reached out to help Ren Wei: "Mr. Ren, please get up."
The eldest princess watched all this with cold eyes. Pei Ziyun helped Ren Wei up, nodded slightly, turned around and smiled slightly: "Eldest princess, I know what you are thinking."
"The little princess is actually suffering from a mental illness. The most urgent thing now is to quickly stabilize her mood. I want to come to the mansion to see you."
Seeing what Pei Ziyun said, the eldest princess couldn't help but be startled. Pei Ziyun smiled again: "The eldest princess is worried about Mr. Ren's presence? Mr. Ren is my confidant, and I only have a few retainers. Mr. Ren will not be able to avoid Qianye's affairs in the future. , you will always know, and there is no need to avoid it.”
"Huh!" After hearing this, the eldest princess secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her expression softened, and said, "You still have some conscience, but Mr. Ren doesn't need to go. You can go with me."
The eldest princess glanced at Ren Wei and led the people onto the bullock cart. They saw incense burning in the bullock cart. The eldest princess sat down and said, "How can you comfort Qianye when you enter the house?"
"How about the princess and I bowing to the Ma Ling tablet together?"
As soon as these words came out, the eldest princess couldn't help but be really surprised. This ceremony was actually a wedding before the death. She couldn't help but feel confused. She broke into a cold sweat for a while. After a long time, she murmured: "You want to marry Qianye immediately?"
"This is the best solution." The carriage was very quiet, and Pei Ziyun said calmly: "As a true king, Qianye is a little princess, and I have a wife. In fact, you also know that we cannot be honest with each other. marriage."
"Furthermore, since I am a newly crowned true king, I will attract attention when I visit the house frequently, so I have to find a way to solve Qianye's worries once and for all, so that she can rest assured and take good care of her health."
"The imperial doctor said that Chiba's disease is in his heart. As long as Chiba's wish is fulfilled, the heart disease will go away and he will gradually recover."
"As for the specific solution, Emperor Hongxing of the Ji Dynasty fell in love with his sister Princess Ningping, so he let her die of illness, changed her name and brought her into the harem as a concubine. In the past dynasties, there were also cases of adopting aunts or nieces, and they also relied on this method. These are all things that have precedent.”
Hearing this example, the eldest princess couldn't help but sigh.
There was tea in the car. Pei Ziyun took a sip and said in detail: "The princess is not a princess after all. There is a big difference. Moreover, the princess is originally the daughter of the prince, but the little princess is not. It is an exception. , strictly speaking, not a real royal family.”
"This operation is relatively simple."
"To put it mildly, King Lu launched a massive attack. A mere princess, but not the real princess, died of illness. There was no storm at all between the government and the public."
"So the little princess can gradually become critically ill. As long as the little princess gets rid of her illness, Qianye will be free, and I can really marry Qianye."
When the eldest princess heard this, she was stunned for a while, and lowered her eyes for a long time: "This is the only way."
As he said this, tears fell down and he couldn't stop them. Seeing the eldest princess crying, Pei Ziyun sighed in his heart. If he didn't say that the little princess was a leaf of the immortal dragon vein, how could he really see the little princess die if he didn't talk about it?
Pei Ziyun asked himself, but he couldn't do it, so he sighed and said, "Your Highness, the eldest princess, maybe I should change my name to your mother-in-law?"
Seeing that the princess did not raise her head, Pei Ziyun added: "I know you are sad because it will be difficult to see Qianye in the future. In fact, you don't have to be so sad. The little princess has been dead for a year and a half, so I can lead Qianye to see you. Just say that she looks very similar to the little princess and accept her as your daughter."
"After going full circle like this, isn't she still your daughter? She's still on your knees. You can come and go as often as you like."
The rain pattered on the roof of the car outside the window. The eldest princess did not speak. She only took a handkerchief and gently wiped her tears. Her expression was much calmer, but she was still a little choked.
Pei Ziyun took a deep breath: "To put it bluntly, after the little princess is ill, the emperor will always give her a gift. Although these are hanging in the underworld, she can still enjoy them when she passes away in a few decades. After all, , the only loss is that you cannot use the title of princess publicly while you are alive."
"But I, Liujin Island, have 500 households and 5,000 acres of cultivated land, yet I still lack her wealth?"
"Poor parents in the world, don't you want Qianye to be happy?" Pei Ziyun broke it down bit by bit and elaborated.
"Huh." The eldest princess wiped away her tears, let out a long sigh, and finally changed her tone and smiled: "Although it is a cover-up, it is still a solution."
When they arrived at the mansion, they saw two nuns coming to greet them. When they saw the eldest princess and Pei Ziyun getting out of the car, they only squatted for a moment and looked back to lead the way. However, when they saw the eldest princess's face was cold when she went out, and then changed her color when she came back, the nanny couldn't help but feel in her heart. Secretly amazed.
The eldest princess ordered: "You sit down for a moment, Qianye and I will talk in detail, and we will be back soon."
"Eldest Princess, feel free to go." Pei Ziyun said. He stopped talking and went to drink tea first. After a while, a nanny came over and signaled to follow her. Pei Ziyun followed and passed through a few doors and saw a temple.
After being led inside, he immediately felt that it was completely different inside. Not only was it dark and cool, but more importantly, there was an indescribable but very distinct power inside, as if he could enter the water. After a moment of confusion, Pei Ziyun finally got used to it and saw the eldest princess. Already there.
The little princess was dressed up, but she was covered with a red cloth. She didn't know where she got it for a while. Pei Ziyun was about to step forward to salute. The eldest princess sighed: "Get up, it's this time, forget about the false ceremony, you all go to the spiritual tablets and put your blessings on it." Smell it!"
Pei Ziyun stood up and approached the little princess. He saw that the interior of the temple was actually very simple. There was a confession in the middle, a painted remains on it, and a tablet.
The eldest princess stood still, silently bowed to the memorial tablet three times, picked up the incense, and then moved away. Pei Ziyun took a breath, took the little princess's hand and came forward, picked up the incense, and listened to the eldest princess saying: "Bow down to heaven and earth."
The little princess and Pei Ziyun bowed down.
"Two bows to Gaotang."
Pei Ziyun and the little princess bowed to the spiritual tablet, and then bowed to the eldest princess.
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
Pei Ziyun and the little princess bowed to each other, stood up, and the ceremony was considered complete.
The eldest princess looked at all this with a mix of sadness and joy, and sighed: "Qianye was just born. I still remember that it has been sixteen years with a snap of my fingers. It's so fast. You can get the red lid."
Pei Ziyun bowed and gently took off the little princess's red cap. She saw that she had lost a lot of weight, her eye sockets were sunken, her face was pale, and she looked sick. Even if she applied pink makeup, she could not hide her haggardness and redness. Red, tears kept falling.
"Qianye, I've wronged you." Pei Ziyun held her hand and wiped away her tears.
The little princess shook her head: "No, I'm just happy."
The little princess held his hand, looked sideways, and thought about the pain of lovesickness in the past few years, she felt that it was just a dream.
In the fireworks of the Lantern Festival, a mask and a poem were met by chance. She didn't know why she cared about them and missed them until she couldn't extricate herself.
Occasionally, she received a letter from him with only a few words, and she thought about it for a long time, looking at each other over and over again. She was happy when she smelled his poems, and when she heard about his achievements, she felt not only glory, but also fear.
When she heard that he had taken a wife, she became increasingly haggard and helpless. This made her finally understand the fact: she could not live without him. This was fate and she could only obey.
Now I can be with him, but I don't have the false title of princess, so what does it mean
The eldest princess felt sour in her heart when she saw her helpless expression, tears fell down again, and her words were choked with sobs: "You can't stay here for long, get out!"
"Qianye, although it is only a short moment, your status has been determined. To avoid material disputes, you should go back first!"
The little princess complied, glanced at Pei Ziyun reluctantly, and went out first. When Pei Ziyun saw the eldest princess waving her hand to signal her to leave the palace, Pei Ziyun followed her step by step.
The eldest princess walked slowly out of the temple. She relaxed her heavy thoughts and put a smile on her face. She summoned a group of armored soldiers, all with a strong aura. She turned around and said: "You are already the true king, you can't There is no ceremony.”
"Furthermore, in my eldest princess's palace, in reality, the number of guards has exceeded the standard. It's just that no one has impeached me. Now I will give you a team, which will benefit everyone."
As he spoke, he shouted: "Come and see me!"
Twenty armored soldiers knelt down and saluted. Pei Ziyun knew that this was actually the dowry of the little princess, and he was the person who protected the little princess from suffering any disadvantages. He accepted it without any doubt and said: "Elder Princess, then I will resign."
"Let's go!" Although the eldest princess still had something to say, she really couldn't stay for long. She paused and waved sadly.
