Chapter 628: Willingness is moderate, enough is enough
"Shaohou Lord."
Seeing the atmosphere tense, Long Xingtu pulled Li Yanzhou's sleeve and comforted her softly, "Since you come, you will be at ease."
After saying that, she took a step sideways, lifted her robe and knelt down to salute, "See the Grass and Dragon Star Map!"
Wu Chengde breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took out a volume of bright yellow imperial edict from his sleeve and unfolded it, singing: "The Dragon Star Map is connected to the imperial edict!"
The Dragon Star Map kowtowed on the ground: "See the Emperor in the Grass and Dragon Star Map! Long live my emperor!"
Seeing this, Li Yanzhou had to follow the etiquette and law and lead General Zhou and others to kneel down.
"In accordance with the will of heaven, the emperor summoned me: I saw that the Dragon Star Map of the famous criminal master in Wuyang County is of great character and outstanding talent. It is an example of all officials and a model for all people in the world. I specially summoned the Dragon Star Map into the palace and appointed Princess Mingle to teach Master. I admire this!"
After Wu Chengde finished reading the imperial edict, he closed the imperial edict, handed it to the Longxing Map with both hands, and said, "Receive the edict!"
The Dragon Star Map was stunned on the spot and couldn't figure out what the old emperor's sudden action meant!
She originally thought that the Ministry of Rites came to search for her to urge Li Yanzhou to return to Beijing to marry Princess Mingle, but she knew that the old emperor's target was her! Li Yanzhou's reaction made her think that the old emperor sent someone to kill her, but who expected...
"Dragon Star Map, please follow the order!"
Wu Chengde once again reminded him, forcing the Dragon Star Map to come back to his senses, raised his hands above his head, and received the imperial edict, "The people who received the edict, thank you for yourselves!"
Wu Chengde nodded with satisfaction and said, "Dragon Star Map, I should respectfully call you Mr. Long! It's too late today, and Mr. Long has just returned from the adventure, so I will set off with me tomorrow morning and go to Beijing to take office!"
Long Xingtu frowned, "Sir, can it be delayed for a few days? I still have many important things that have not been completed, and the affairs of Wuyang County Government must also be reported to Lord Du..."
"The emperor's oral order, and the journey will be set off immediately on the day of the order! I have already thought about all kinds of things and postponed it to tomorrow. I can't be given any more gratitude." Wu Chengde interrupted her and did not give her any way out. "As for Lord Du, the emperor has his own arrangements, so Mr. Long does not need to bother."
Li Yanzhou suddenly spoke, "Star Map, go back to your room to rest for a while, and I'll talk to you later."
Long Xingtu looked sideways, but seeing Li Yanzhou's gentle expression and no displeasure, she nodded, "Yes, Xingtu leaves!"
She turned back to the house.
The door slowly closed from outside.
Li Yanzhou walked down the steps and stood in the middle of the yard. He was behind his hands, with deep eyebrows and eyes, "Wu Chengde, there are some things you don't need to be serious about."
"The Shaohou Lord forgives his crime. As a minister, he really dares not deceive the emperor! Also, the Ministry of Rites and the Sitianjian have planned the wedding date for the Shaohou Lord and the princess. On the second day of the second month next year, the emperor ordered the Shaohou Lord to tell him: "It is willful and appropriate, and it is appropriate to stop!"
"What?"
Li Yanzhou was shocked and his face gradually turned blue, "Have the emperor already told the world?"
"When the lower officials left the capital, the emperor had not yet publicly announced his victory. Now that a few days have passed, the lower officials are unknown." Wu Chengde originally wanted to say some congratulations, but he observed his expression and found that Li Yanzhou's face was not as happy as a princess. He thought for a moment and said carefully, "The Shaohou Marquis and Mr. Long have a deep friendship. Mr. Long has become a person around the princess. The Shaohou no longer has to worry about Mr. Long's safety."
"It's cold and freezing, Lord Wu will do it!"
