Chapter 1039: Refusal to Accept the Divine Decree
Huang Jin, the imperial eunuch holding the holy decree in his hand, walked the gate of the Xu Mansion depressedly, he came to preach the holy decree, but the three ladies of the Xu family not only refused to accept the holy decree, but also politely drove him out.
refused to accept the holy decree, and swept the messenger out of the house, this is simply the birthday boy hanging himself - he is too long. However, Huang Jin couldn't get angry, but was a little sad, alas, Lord Xu is a genius, but unfortunately he didn't live long, he died at the age of twenty-four, leaving this house of orphans and widows, and the two daughters didn't even have a father before they reached the age of one, which is really pitiful!
"Gonggong Huang, Xu Xie refuses to accept the holy decree, what should I do now?" One of the accompanying little yellow doors asked angrily.
Father-in-law Huang sighed helplessly and said, "What else can I do?" Go back and report to the emperor truthfully, do you want to use it strongly? ”
Xiao Huangmen's heart sank, and he said curtly: "How dare the slave, this is the Yasukuni Mansion, the slave only has one head, and it is not cut off!" ”
Huang Jin glanced at this and said: "It's good to know, although Lord Xu is gone, if anyone dares to bully their orphans and widows, let alone those fierce generals under Lord Xu, the emperor will not let him go." ”
Xiao Huangmen secretly stuck out his tongue, but he didn't dare to say more, so he put away his emotions and followed Huang Jin back to the palace to resume his life.
"What? Sister Xiaowan refuses to accept the holy decree, why is this? ”
Jiajing, who was reviewing the recital in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, couldn't help but stand up in surprise after listening to Huang Jin's reply, he asked Huang Jin to pass on this holy decree to Xu Jin, in addition, he also canonized Xie Xiaowan as the first-grade Mrs. Decree, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang as the third-grade Mrs. Edict, and even the two daughters of the Xu Mansion who were less than one year old were also awarded the county lord.
Jiajing originally wanted to make up for the Xu family with this, but Xie Xiaowan actually refused, and sent the messenger out.
Huang Jin replied cautiously: "Back to the emperor, the county lord of Yongxiu said that he had thanked the emperor Longen, but they could not receive these rewards, because the life and death of Lord Xu has not yet been decided, she believes that her husband is still alive in this world, if she accepts the posthumous seal, it will become a curse to her husband, so I implore the emperor to withdraw the holy decree." ”
Jiajing was silent when he heard this, he was in a hurry to chase Xu Jin, not to hope that Xu Jin would die, on the contrary, he just wanted to try his best to make up for the Xu family, to fight for the glory Xu Jin deserved, so that he could smile under the nine springs.
Moreover, according to the urgent report of Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, Xu Jin fell into the sea on the third day of the seventh month, and he searched for five days and did not find it, and there was little hope of survival, and now more than a month has passed.
"Drive out of the palace, I will personally go to the Xu Mansion." Jiajing said lightly.
This time, Jiajing did not change into civilian clothes, and came to the Xu Mansion as the emperor, Xie Xiaowan, as the eldest lady of the Xu Mansion, led the people up and down the door to kneel to greet him.
"Sister Xiaowan......" Jiajing looked at Xie Xiaowan, who seemed to have lost a lot of weight, her throat seemed to be choked by something, and she typed the comforting words in advance, but she couldn't say a word at the moment.
Xie Xiaowan is twenty-three years old this year, which is the age of a flower, but she looks haggard now, and the faint sorrow between her eyebrows lingers, a far-fetched smile is squeezed out of her face, and she said softly: "The emperor is here, come and sit inside!" ”
Jiajing lived on the streets of Shangrao County back then, fortunately Xie Xiaowan rescued him, and then took care of him meticulously for more than half a year, the kind and hard-working sister Xiaowan made him only ten years old, feel the incomparable warmth of the world in the lonely and helpless winter, and in his heart he has long regarded Xie Xiaowan as his own sister.
Now looking at Sister Xiaowan who is smiling, Jiajing really doesn't feel good in his heart, his nose is sour, he regrets it very much, regrets sending Xu Jin to the sea to quell the rebellion this time, in fact, with the strength of the Ming army's sailors, it is not necessary to send Xu Jin to take command.
It's just that there is no regret medicine in this world, if there is, Jiajing is willing to exchange his three-year life for a pill, and he hopes that Sister Xiaowan will live happily.
Xie Xiaowan invited Jia to the warm pavilion to sit down, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang accompanied each other, everyone chatted with each other, and they all tacitly agreed not to touch the topic, and they all pretended that the person was still alive.
He Zhi'er was also there, she stared at Jiajing for a long time, her eyes were puzzled, she felt very strange, why did this guy in a yellow robe look so much like Brother Si Pao?
Jiajing and Xie Xiaowan stayed for a long time, and then ate before leaving, and never mentioned Xu Jin from beginning to end, since Sister Xiaowan was willing to believe that Xu Jin was still alive, how could he bear to debunk it, so be it!
Jiajing walked out of the gate of the Xu Mansion surrounded by guards, and Huang Jin suddenly called in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Miss Zhi'er!" ”
Jiajing hurriedly turned around, only to see He Zhi'er standing behind the door of Xu's mansion, timidly poking her head out, her clear eyes full of questions.
Jiajing's heart was hot, he walked three steps and two steps to He Zhi'er, who took half a step back in fear, and said, "You...... You are the emperor, or the brother of the four guns! ”
Jiajing smiled and said, "Sister Zhi'er, I am the emperor and your fourth brother!" ”
"Huh?" He Zhi'er opened her mouth wide in surprise and stood on the spot.
Jiajing couldn't help but hold He Zhi'er's hand, and said softly: "Sister Zhi'er, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I'm just worried that I won't dare to play with me anymore after you know my identity, I have decided now, I want to take you into the palace, are you willing?" ”
I went, the emperor confessed, and the guards and eunuchs around him were very knowledgeable and walked away, so as not to hear some words that should not be heard.
He Zhi'er looked at Jiajing blankly, and asked puzzled for a long time, "Why are you entering the palace?" ”
"Be my concubine!" Jiajing was so excited that Jun's face turned red, he had wanted to say this to He Zhi'er for a long time, and now he finally mustered up the courage to say it, and then looked at He Zhi'er with a loss.
At this moment, Jiajing is not a rich and supreme emperor, but a shy boy who courtes the girl he likes.
Although He Zhi'er's mind was only ten years old, she knew very well the meaning of the concubine, and her originally cute expression instantly turned into horror, and then she broke free of Jiajing's hands with a scream, and ran to the house with her legs, and even fell in a panic, obviously it hurt a lot, but she still got up and continued to run away with tears in her eyes, and disappeared behind the flower tree in the blink of an eye.
Crash......
After hesitating and pouring a bucket of cold water on the head, Jiajing stood on the spot in frustration, his heart was as bitter as a bitter melon, and he was very annoyed, he knew that he couldn't reveal his identity, from now on, I'm afraid he will never be able to return to the way he used to be!
The emperor is supreme, destined to be a lonely man for a lifetime, the emperor can have three thousand beauties in the harem, but he can't have love, for the emperor, love is an unattainable luxury!
