Chapter 18 Declaration

Gao Huan and others had breakfast in the county government office and left the county government office immediately under the watch of Magistrate Zhao.

After the group of people walked away, Yu Qing looked back at Magistrate Zhao who was waving frequently, curled his lips with disdain, and said: "After all, he was also a second-ranked Jinshi, but he didn't expect that he was a flatterer. He is really a scholar.

Shameful."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he curled his lips and said, "I flatter a high-ranking family. How have I ever flattered you?"

"Even when facing the angel who came to deliver the message, he behaved neither humble nor arrogantly, without showing any dignity as a scholar."

"Forehead"

Yu Qing's face turned red when he was choked, and he quickly smiled and said, "What you said is absolutely true."

The group of people walked along the street for half an hour. When they arrived at a street adjacent to Liu's residence, they heard a pleasant nursery rhyme coming from the street.

"Wash your hands in a golden basin, a sheep enters a tiger's mouth, your family is destroyed, and the devil wanders around."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but frowned, turned his head and looked at Gao Huan, and said: "It seems that Liu Zhengfeng's washing of hands in the golden basin is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Gao Huan smiled slightly and said with a confident look: "Actually, this matter is not as complicated as imagined. It's just that someone wants to use Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin to wash his hands to make a wave of existence."

"snort"

Zhu Houzhao snorted heavily, glanced at Gao Huan, and said angrily: "It's okay to be robbed of the limelight by you on weekdays. If someone dares to delay my hero's rescue of the beauty today, humph, I will definitely make it difficult for him to eat.

Let’s go.”

Gao Huan smiled hoarsely and said: "Don't worry, I won't compete with you."

While the two were talking, the group had already arrived in front of the Liu Mansion. However, the lively scene in the Liu Mansion really shocked Gao Huan and others.

Zhu Houzhao stood on tiptoes and glanced inside the gate. He was so shocked that he opened his mouth and said, "Isn't there more than a thousand people here?"

When Liu Jin saw this, his face darkened, and he said sadly: "Humph, you are so majestic."

Seeing this, Yu Qing quickly took out the Book of Impermanence from his arms and read word for word according to the content recorded on it: "Liu Zhengfeng has a rich family and often does things that are generous and generous, so he has an excellent reputation."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he frowned and said: "It stands to reason that with Liu Zhengfeng's reputation, there should be no accidents when he washes his hands in the golden basin, but what about that nursery rhyme just now?"

Hearing this, Gao Huan looked across the crowd at Liu Zhengfeng, who was surrounded by the crowd and had a cheerful expression on his face. He couldn't help but sneered and said: "No matter how great the reputation is, it can't be greater than a person's ambition. In this big world, whoever has the biggest fist will win."

With absolute right to speak, as for this so-called good reputation, it is just a way for some people to accumulate popularity through some small favors when they have nothing to do. If it is really a matter of life and death, those who have been favored by Liu Zhengfeng

People will naturally find a reason for themselves not to take action, and rats can always find a reasonable excuse for their cowardice."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao glanced at Gao Huan secretly, and then nodded silently, thinking: "Knowing everything in the world is knowledge, and understanding people's feelings is writing. It seems that Gao Huan has suffered a lot since he was a child."

At this time.

But I saw the crowd in front of me suddenly and spontaneously made way for a passage, and Liu Zhengfeng, who looked like a rich man, came forward with a smile and said: "The angel is coming, I am not welcoming you from a distance, I am disrespectful and disrespectful."

At this time, Cao Shaoqin, who had no sense of presence along the way, squeezed out of the crowd. He first gave an apologetic smile to Liu Jin behind him, and when he turned to face Liu Zhengfeng, he immediately showed off the majesty of an angel delivering the message.

, said: "There is a decree, Liu Zhengfeng will accept it."

When Liu Zhengfeng heard this, he immediately knelt down as if he were pushing a mountain of gold over a jade pillar, and deliberately raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Zhengfeng accepts the order."

Liu Zhengfeng's almost flattering behavior immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone present, and there was a burst of whispers in Liu's residence.

When Cao Shaoqin saw this, his face suddenly darkened, he narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced around at the faces of everyone in the Liu Mansion, and then shouted loudly: "Quiet!"

Cao Shaoqin's voice immediately had an immediate effect. Although everyone still looked dissatisfied, they still calmed down in a dignified manner.

Although everyone present was skilled in martial arts, no one dared to openly oppose the imperial court in public.

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao seemed a little impatient, Liu Jin quickly reminded Cao Shaoqin: "Stop delaying and declare the decree quickly."

"yes."

Cao Shaoqin nodded repeatedly, then cleared his throat and read out in front of everyone: "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and the edict says: According to the report of the governor of HUN Province, Liu Zhengfeng, a common man in Hengshan County, is eager for public justice, his merits are in Sangzi, and he is skilled in bow and horse, so he can be of great use.

, I have actually been awarded the post of general, and I will serve the imperial court from now on and live up to my expectations. I appreciate this."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengfeng hurriedly paid homage and said: "I accept the decree to express my gratitude. Long live my emperor."

Liu Zhengfeng's words immediately aroused a burst of discussion from everyone present.

Zhu Houzhao automatically filtered out the crooked words such as "following the crowd" and "flattery", then turned his head to look at Gao Huan, who was standing silently aside, and said: "Is this the end? The whole process was too smooth.

Alright?"

Gao Huan smiled slightly and said: "The focus of today's matter is to wash hands in the golden basin, not to read out the imperial edict. This has just begun. Please wait patiently for a while, and the good show is about to begin."

While the two were talking, they saw Liu Zhengfeng hand over a tray with a smile, and said with the face of a profiteer and a philistine: "In the future, I will be an official in the same court, I hope you will take care of me."

When Zhu Houzhao saw this, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Why should you give it to me? I'm not a eunuch who delivers orders."

When Liu Jin saw this, he quickly stepped forward to flatter you and said, "You are born to look rich and noble. General Liu Shen may regard you as the leader."

"I regard money as dung. How can a few hundred taels of silver damage my Taoist heart?" Zhu Houzhao said seriously.

When Liu Zhengfeng heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled. He reached out and opened the red cloth covering the tray, revealing a dozen large golden ingots, which dazzled Zhu Houzhao for a while.

Zhu Houzhao raised his hands to cover his eyes, and said, "Oh, you are dazzling your eyes. Put it away quickly. Put it away."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately understood. He immediately reached for the tray, picked up the gold and put it in his arms. As he returned it, he murmured in a low voice: "Oh, I have never seen so much gold in my life. I have never seen so much gold."

I grew up eating food from hundreds of families, and now I have finally found an opportunity to repay my fellow villagers. I am going to use this gold to honor the folks in my hometown. Please bear with me and don't make fun of me."

"Is this okay?"

Yu Qing was dumbfounded, and secretly glanced at Gao Huan, who was standing silently beside him, and thought to himself: "It's really hard to compare people to death, and you have to throw away goods when comparing goods."

Yu Qing lowered his head silently and muttered in his heart: "The majestic prince, why does it seem like he has never seen money?"

Although Zhu Houzhao was the crown prince, he really had never seen much money. Emperor Hongzhi controlled him too strictly. In the past, he was only allowed to study and practice martial arts in the palace, and he was never allowed to step out of the palace gate. Now he sees him

As he grew older and met a rare talent like Gao Huan, he made an exception and allowed him to travel around the palace and examine Gao Huan's character and conduct.
