Chapter 157: King Ning's Decree
Early in the morning, a soft sedan chair came to the governor's yamen and stopped, the sedan curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man with a white face and a very rich state bent over and came out, it was Liu Ji, the chief eunuch of Ningwang's Mansion.
Eunuch Liu held a roll of yellow silk and went straight to the gate of the governor's yamen, and said lightly to the yacha who guarded the door: "The prince decrees, let Shangrao County Xiucai Xu Jin come out to receive the decree!" ”
The two yacha glanced at each other, and one of them ran briskly inside.
In the backyard of the governor's yamen, Xu Jin and the Fei brothers were sitting under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, while Dabao and Erniu and others were packing up.
Because he was worried that he would have many dreams at night, Sun Sui decided to send the "jade seal" out of the city today in the name of inspecting Jiangfang, and then send someone to secretly bring it to the capital, and at the same time, escort Xu Jin and others out of Nanchang by the way.
Now that the college examination has been completed, and the fame of Xiucai has been successfully obtained, Xu Jin naturally can't wait to leave Nanchang quickly, not to mention that the prince of Ning Wang is eyeing him, even the current Nanchang is also a powder keg, because once the fake jade seal is successfully sent to the current emperor, it is very likely that King Ning will be directly forced to rebel. Therefore, it is not wise to continue to stay in Nanchang, and it is better to leave quickly.
Xu Jin and the Fei brothers were chatting, and Sun Sui's old servant hurriedly walked in and said, "Young Master Xu, King Ning has an order for you, hurry up to the front to receive the order!" ”
Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong were stunned for a moment, but Xu Jin secretly screamed that it was not good, in fact, when he saw King Ning returning to the city from hunting yesterday, he was faintly uneasy in his heart, he didn't expect to be afraid of anything, King Ning actually sent someone to give an order to himself, could it be that the half of the "Desperate Poem" happened to the East Window?
It is worth mentioning here that the will of the emperor is called the holy decree, the will of the queen mother is called the yi decree, and the will of the crown prince and the prince is called the decree. Nanchang is the feudal state of King Ning, and King Ning is indeed qualified to give orders here.
It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, Xu Jin had to go to the front to receive the order, and Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong hurriedly followed.
In the front yard of the governor's yamen, Xu Jin reluctantly greeted him. The eunuch Liu Ji opened the scroll of Wang Juan and read aloud: "The king of Daming Ning has a decree: Shangrao Confucian Xu Jin is full of talent, peerless elegance, and good character and learning, and from now on, he will be hired as the prince of the palace to accompany him to read, and assist the prince to learn from ......."
Liu Jilang finished reading King Ning's order, then closed the yellow silk, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Gongzi Xu, come forward to receive the order!" ”
What's going on?
Xu Jin was stunned, he thought that the incident of the half of the "Desperate Poem" had happened, and King Ning ordered him to make trouble for himself, but he didn't expect to let himself go to the palace to read to the prince Zhu as a companion.
Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong also looked at each other, not understanding what kind of medicine was sold in King Ning's gourd, so they asked Xu Jin to read to Brother Zhu as a companion.
The so-called companion reading is, to put it bluntly, to accompany the prince of Ning to study, and at the same time bear the responsibility of assisting and persuading the prince.
Liu Ji smiled on his face, but he secretly sighed in his heart that Xu Jin's kid had a good life, yesterday the prince was obviously furious, and was ready to send the royal palace guards to the governor's yamen to forcibly arrest people, but after seeing the two Taoist masters, he actually changed his attitude sharply, not only did not arrest people, but wanted to hire this son as the son of the world.
"Xu Gongzi, hurry up and take the order, our family has to go back to the palace to repay the palace!" Liu Ji saw that Xu Jin was stunned and didn't move, so he urged.
Xu Jin stood up, shook his head and said, "Please ask Gonggong Liu to return to Prince Ning, Xu Jin is only a shallow learner, so he doesn't dare to accept it!" ”
Just kidding, King Ning is preparing to rebel, and it is a rebellion that is bound to fail, so whoever gets involved will die, plus Xu Jin and King Ning have a "deep hatred", if you go to him as a companion, wouldn't it be sending sheep into the tiger's mouth, so Xu Jin resolutely refused without thinking about it.
Gonggong Liu's round face suddenly darkened with a smile, and he said coldly: "Xu Jin, do you dare to resist and disobey?" ”
Xu Jin said calmly: "Gong Liu's words are serious, Xu Jin is a shallow learner, and he can't take on this big responsibility!" ”
Gonggong Liu said sympathetically: "Xu Jin, do you know the consequences of disobeying the prince's decree?" ”
Xu Jin stubbornly said: "I am not a citizen of Nanchang, and I don't need to follow the orders of the prince. ”
"Ziqian's words are fallacious, even if you are a citizen of Nanchang, you don't have to obey King Ning's order!" Sun Sui walked out of the house, followed by a group of personal soldiers.
Xu Jin couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, the backer came, and bowed and said, "Please advise the governor!" ”
Sun Sui glanced at Liu Ji coldly, and said solemnly: "I, the Ming Dynasty, divide the feudal domains without giving land, divide the lords without giving the people, and the people all over the world are the people of my emperor." Although King Ning's feudal kingdom is in Nanchang, the people of Nanchang are not the people of King Ning, and the prince's decree is only effective for the royal palace. Therefore, Ziqian has the right not to accept the order of King Ning! ”
Xu Jin was secretly overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Xu Jin has been taught!" ”
Liu Ji sneered hesitantly: "In this case, our family will go back to report to the prince, Lord Sun's words, our family will return to the prince word for word!" ”
Sun Sui said lightly: "Gonggong Liu has remembered everything, but do you want the official to say it again?" ”
Liu Ji's eyes flashed with a fierce color, he turned around and brushed his sleeves away, and touched a hard nail in front of Sun Sui twice, and Eunuch Liu's hatred for Sun Sui naturally increased.
"Lord Sun's love for protection, Xu Jin is unforgettable!" Xu Jin said gratefully.
Sun Sui smiled slightly, and said: "Ziqian is polite, but King Ning is stubborn, I'm afraid he won't give up, without further ado, let's leave the city immediately." ”
Xu Jin naturally couldn't ask for it, King Ning was strong and ferocious, since he dared to cut off the arm of a thousand households in front of Sun Sui, he naturally dared to cut himself with a sword, so it was better to flee from Nanchang quickly.
So everyone took their luggage, and under the escort of Sun Sui's 300 personal soldiers, they quickly left the city from the north gate, boarded the boat parked at the wharf, and left Nanchang along the Gan River.
Xu Jin stood on the bow of the boat, looking at Nanchang City, which was gradually being thrown behind, and finally let go of his heart a little, especially if King Ning took the wrong line, he suddenly ordered himself to be the prince of the world!
……
Ningwangfu. After listening to the eunuch Liu Ji's return, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, suddenly jumped like thunder, and shouted: "Spread the will of the king, order the left guard of the palace to surround the governor's yamen, and capture Xu Jin, a Xiucai from Shangrao County, who dares to resist the decree and disobey it!" ”
Liu Ji was overjoyed and was about to give the order, but King Ning suddenly said, "Wait...... Let's go on a trip by myself! ”
King Ning originally wanted to use violence to arrest Xu Jin, the "auspicious rui", and teach Sun Sui a lesson by the way, but after thinking about it, if he forcibly captured Xu Jin back to the palace, he was afraid that he would not sincerely assist him, so he changed his mind and decided to personally go to invite him.
King Ning immediately ordered someone to bring all kinds of gifts and go to the governor's yamen in person, and when he came to the governor's yamen, Xu Jin and the others had already traveled a long way down the river by boat.
