Chapter 146: Still others are willing to take action (3)
"Is there any decree or oral order that the princess needs to hear in person?" Chu Zeming asked after taking the imperial edict from the eunuch who delivered it.
The eunuch who was in charge of delivering the imperial edict to Liuzhou Prefecture shook his head and said, "If Master Chu has nothing else to do, I will leave now."
"Father, there is no need to be so anxious. It won't be too late to rest for a few more days in Liuzhou Prefecture."
"Thank you, Lord Chu. I have to hurry back to report. Please say hello to the Princess and the other adults. Goodbye." After saying this, the eunuch bowed to Chu Zeming again and turned around in a hurry to rush out of the government office, as if he would never be able to leave Liu Fuzhou's government office if he was a second late.
That evening, when Chu Zeming was describing the situation of receiving the imperial edict today, he asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Has my majesty become increasingly powerful recently?"
"Aha, Brother Chu, what made you have such an illusion? You are the gentlest person." Situ Yidun asked with a smile after passing the imperial edict in his hand to Feng Yizheng who was sitting next to him.
Among all the young masters in their capital, Chu Zeming is the one who most deserves the reputation of "Young Master Gentle as Jade". However, due to his physical condition, he never competes with others and always has a smiling and unfathomable look on his face.
What happened today that made him have such deep self-doubt? Everyone in the room looked at Chu Zeming curiously, who had a tangled face.
"After the imperial decree was announced today, the eunuch immediately turned around and left without even drinking a sip of water or saying a single extra word. Don't you think this is strange?"
Well, it's not normal. Feng Yizhen lowered his head and read the imperial edict in his hand from beginning to end again, word by word. In addition to describing the court's investigation and handling of the matter, there was no extra word.
"Have you received any letters from home regarding this matter recently?" Feng Yizheng raised his head and asked the other two people present.
Chu Zeming and Situ Yidong shook their heads one after another.
"I haven't heard mother mention such a thing either." Meixiang shook her head and said that letters from the capital were usually written directly to the beautiful woman unless they were addressed to Meixiang.
"That's right. I guess it was the last paragraph in the memorial we submitted that played a role, and those old foxes at home didn't know how to answer us for a while, so they simply avoided it and didn't mention it." Feng Yizheng said almost certainty.
In fact, his guess was absolutely correct. The four elders, three family heads and the current emperor in the capital were also annoyed when they received their memorials, and then they were speechless and helpless.
What annoys me is why those blind flies didn't learn their lesson? It seems that the last time the Second Prince's Mansion was handled lightly! Several people gnashed their teeth and thought at the same time.
Then, without any prior agreement, they sent people out to investigate what was going on and who was behind the four people in the back mountain of Liuzhou Prefecture.
The people sent out by various parties to investigate came back very quickly. The ones who were responsible were sent by the second uncle of the mayor of Liuzhou Prefecture, Linzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture.
The reason is not difficult to guess. The second uncle was originally a colleague of the Sun family. In recent months, he saw that the Sun family's cloth was selling well, so he was jealous and went to the city lord's wife for help to think of a discount.
It just so happened that she heard from the city lord that Madam Yan of the Second Prince's Mansion was pregnant. They were old friends with Madam Yan. If the baby was a boy, and the Second Prince's Concubine had no status in the Second Prince's Mansion, then in the future...
Thinking that Madam Yan would have to spend a lot of money for that position in the future, the two of them discussed it over and over again, and finally came up with the drama behind the mountain of Liuzhou Prefecture.
"Just for the piece of unborn flesh in the belly, all these monsters and demons came out? We don't even know whether it's a boy or a girl." The old master Situ was the first to shout out in impatience.
“It’s just wishful thinking about following the dragon’s lead,” the old Patriarch Chu sighed.
"The merit of following the dragon? Humph! What wishful thinking!" Wang Huanglong glared and huffed. Turning his head and seeing his son standing beside him, he snorted again: "Now that Xiang girl has safely passed the tribulation, you decide whether to let Feng girl return to the capital or you go to Liuzhou Prefecture and give birth to a prince as soon as possible, otherwise this kind of thing will happen again in the future."
The emperor was stunned when he heard this, staring at his father in amazement. How... how come this has to do with him again? Although the ultimate root of all the problems is that chair, it's not like he can become a prince just by saying so, right?
But, hey, now that the old man has spoken, can he justifiably skip work and go to see his daughter and his wife? They have only met once in more than ten years, so it would be a lie to say that he doesn't miss her.
"I will follow my father's instructions and write a letter today to ask when Xiang'er and her mother can come back." The emperor could not hide his excitement and his face flushed.
"Hmph!" Wang Huang spat at him and changed the subject: "I remember that the mayor of Liuzhou Prefecture was Wang Aiqing, right? Check him out. If there is no problem, how about letting him take over Suzhou?"
"Xiang and her mother have lived in Liuzhou Prefecture peacefully for so many years. It is obvious that City Lord Wang is also a sensible person. It will be enough for them to learn the basics from Xiang when they go to Suzhou."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Suzhou Prefecture was nearly half the size of Liu Prefecture, and its rank was also one level higher, so City Lord Wang was also promoted one level higher. If he could improve the people's livelihood in Suzhou Prefecture, then Haoyue's northern rear area would be stable.
"As for the former city lord of Suzhou, since he has a wife who is so capable of long-term planning for him and a wealthy uncle, let him go home and eat his own food."
"Xiang girl can't save his people for nothing, so let him redeem them at the price of 5 taels per person. Isn't this price a bit too low? After all, it's not easy to train a person, right?"
As for the matter of chasing away flies mentioned here, several people unanimously avoided it and did not mention it.
There were a few unfamiliar door gods in the courtyard of the Second Prince's Mansion where Madam Yan was imprisoned. At the same time, the Second Prince's wife received a second oral order from the palace, asking her to take good care of Madam Yan's health and ensure that the child was born safely and healthily. After all, this was her third child and she would have to raise him by her side in the future.
At the same time, he severely warned the Second Prince to concentrate on his duties, do his job well, love his wife, care for his children, and not think about other things.
After reading the imperial edict, Meixiang instructed Chu Zeming and Situ Yidong to arrange the parade of the four people as soon as possible, and asked Liu Dongjia to use his channels to spread the matter to the nearby states so that everyone would know about it.
Then, she no longer had time to ask about this matter, because Doctor Wang’s friend finally arrived at Liuzhou Prefecture.
