Chapter 8: The Divine Decree Arrives
Two days later, this fold has been spread out on Li Shimin's bookcase, Li Shimin laughed for a long time after reading the fold, and sighed: "God bless me Datang!" God bless me Datang! ”
At this moment, there are two people in the palace, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, these two are Li Shimin's right-hand men, and the two of them are indispensable for any national event, but they don't know the content of the twist and turn, and they are looking at Li Shimin with a confused face at the moment.
Li Shimin whetted the appetite of the two of them, and he was happy enough, so he asked the eunuch to pass the fold to the two of them for viewing.
The two of them got together to see the folds from the beginning to the end, and after reading it, the two hurriedly pushed the mountain and poured jade to Li Shimin, and cheered in unison: "Sure enough, God bless the Tang Dynasty, and the ministers congratulate Your Majesty!" ”
Li Shimin waved his hand to let them get up: "Okay, the epidemic is urgent, it is urgent, the auxiliary machine, quickly copy this recipe, send 800 miles to the states of Henan Province urgently, and order them to decoction medicine according to this recipe to save people, if they dare to delay, they will be severely punished!" ”
"Yes, the minister will do it immediately!" The eldest grandson Wuji was ordered to retire.
Li Shimin walked back and forth twice in the hall, and suddenly turned back to Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling, do you say that this Li Hao is a gift from God." ”
Fang Xuanling's eyes rolled, and he arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty already has the answer in his heart." ”
"Haha." Li Shimin smiled heartily and asked again, "You say, how should I reward this Li Hao?" ”
Fang Xuanling said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is too early for the plague to subside, and when the plague is completely calmed down, it is not too late to reward you with merit." ”
"Hmm." Li Shimin nodded again and again, "You are reasonable, haha, I really want to hear the good news of the plague as soon as possible." ”
After another two days, Hu Xiaohai's plague has been eradicated, and the family of four was finally released from the quarantine area, but there were still soldiers guarding the door of the house, not letting them come out, and they needed to be observed for a few days, the family was finally reunited, and the four of them hugged each other and cried.
This made Imperial Doctor Liu's face red, and he hurriedly helped them up, and said: "It's not the old man who saved you, the old man is at most a medicine boiler, and the real meritorious one is a young man named Li Hao." ”
"Li Hao?" Hu Laohan's family was stunned when they heard this, and looked at each other, they knew what virtues Li Hao had, and they usually didn't even speak properly, how could they cure the plague.
Hu Laohan thought he was joking, and said: "Old lady, don't make trouble, how can Li Hao cure the plague well......"
Imperial Physician Liu said solemnly: "The old man didn't make trouble, if it wasn't for Li Hao's timely prescription for the treatment of the plague this time, I'm afraid that your family of four would have been separated by heaven and man, and the whole Huliu Village and even the entire Xuzhou would be covered by the plague. ”
"Huh?" The four members of the Hu family were all dumbfounded, they couldn't believe that this was true, and Imperial Doctor Liu turned around and left while they were stunned.
Imperial Physician Liu continued to let the whole village drink the decoction for three days, and when he didn't find a single person with the plague, he ordered that the villagers were allowed to go out of their homes, but they were not allowed to leave the village, but if there were any items that needed to be bought, let the soldiers of the Zhichong Guard do it for them.
The ban in the village was lifted, and Hu Laohan's family of four ran to the village office to see Li Hao.
Li Hao hurriedly went up to help them, but the family admitted death, must kowtow, how could he hold four people alone, and in the end they could only be bowed by their whole family, and when they worshiped enough, they invited them into the house, and specially took care of them to help them hide their identities, saying that they were from a foreign country, how could they refuse, Hu Laohan How could they refuse, the four of them nodded their heads like pecking rice, and were willing to help tell the whole village, let them hide together, and then they sincerely invited Li Hao to the house to offer up like their ancestors, Li Hao was also thick-skinned, just accepted it calmly.
In Hu Laohan's house, he ate and slept and dried, and in just five days, Li Hao felt that he was fat, and on the sixth day, the village suddenly became lively, and many people came, blowing and hitting the ground, making a lot of noise.
Li Hao was basking in the sun in the fence yard of Hu Laohan's house, and Wang Yuantai rushed in in a hurry: "Li Hao, it's a big deal!" Something is wrong! ”
Li Hao didn't raise his eyelids, and continued to bask in the sun on the ground: "Don't make trouble, bask in the sun." ”
Wang Yuantai panted and shouted: "Don't dry it, prepare the incense case quickly, someone from the palace has come to announce the decree!" ”
Li Hao jumped up from the rattan chair when he heard this: "The holy decree is coming?" For me? ”
"For you, of course!" Wang Yuantai glared and shouted, "This plague can be quelled so quickly, all of it is the credit of your dedication, who else is qualified to receive this holy decree besides you!" ”
At this time, Hu Laohan happened to come out, and as soon as he heard that the holy decree was coming, he hurriedly went to prepare the incense case, and the Liu family helped Li Hao get a basin of warm water and asked him to clean it.
Li Hao picked up the cloth towel and symbolically washed it a few times, the sound of the drum music was already close, and he saw a large group of people walking towards this side through the fence.
As soon as Liu Shi took the basin away, the team had arrived at the door, and the leader was a white-faced eunuch, because he had no beard, he really couldn't tell how old he was, anyway, he was not old, but he was not young, holding a bright yellow scroll, walking into the courtyard with square steps, pinching the duck voice and shouting: "The holy decree has arrived, Li Hao has received the decree!" ”
Hu Laohan hurriedly asked for the incense case, a family of four, Li Hao and Wang Yuantai knelt on the ground with a brush, bowed their heads to listen to the decree, the white-faced eunuch unfolded the scroll of the holy decree, and began to read the holy decree in his male duck voice: "The system said: Heaven is impermanent, disasters suddenly fall, the people grieve, the people are innocent, the country is the society, the people are the country's ......"
The white-faced eunuch read very rhythmically, but Li Hao listened a little sleepy, there was too much nonsense in this holy decree, and at the beginning he said that this plague was a disaster from heaven, and it had nothing to do with him Li Shimin, the sky and the earth were big, and the pot was the largest, Li Shimin was most afraid of carrying the pot now, and if he continued to memorize it, he would become a man who carried the pot, and then said how he loved the people like a son, and how he was sad when he saw the people suffering, and all kinds of words to earn tears were thrown out shamelessly, and then he entered the topic, saying that a young heroic Li Hao came out of the sky, all kinds of wise and martial arts, Fighting the plague, the image of the hero is unusually tall, and Li Hao is almost sure that it is written about himself.
Li Hao listened to the holy decree, and suddenly felt blushing, too ashamed, how could Li Shimin be so shameless? He thought about it carefully, in fact, it was nothing, Li Shimin was the most face-saving among the emperors, at least he was the first emperor of the ages, and he created the most powerful empire in the history of the Chinese nation, but he had never been to seal Zen, which shows that he is still very face-saving. Unlike the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, he was a monk and a beggar, and once he sat on the throne of the emperor, even the pores of the whole body revealed the breath of the nouveau riche. After ascending to the throne, he also killed the founding heroes under various excuses, this is the most direct manifestation of the nouveau riche who has no mind, the same as the founding ruffian emperor of the Han Dynasty, on the other hand, Li Shimin, the founding heroes live well one by one, it is said that Cheng Biting Jin's bastard goods often rolls with Li Shimin, as well as Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng was originally the person of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin used him without regard to the previous suspicions after becoming the emperor, Wei Zheng often attacked Li Shimin verbally in the court, and even pointed at his nose and scolded the faint king, Li Shimin endured it, This is the heart of Tian Khan, so it is not accidental that Li Shimin can become the first emperor of the ages.
At the end of the reading of the holy decree, Li Hao heard a sentence "Li Hao Chang'an faces the saint, and the golden palace listens to the seal", he was stunned for a moment, Li Shimin is going to see him, it's really fast, I didn't expect that I was going to see the legendary Tian Khan so soon, and I was all kinds of little excitement in my heart.
The white-faced eunuch finally finished reading the holy decree, Li Hao and they were still stunned there, the eunuch seemed to be used to this, thinking that the first person who received the holy decree should be like this, but he didn't know where Li Hao was stupid, why was he happy, not because he could see Li Shimin, but because of the reward, Li Shimin asked him to go to the palace to listen to the reward this time, generally speaking, if he can go to the palace to listen to the reward, the reward will definitely not be less, thinking that he is likely to receive the same bonus as the gold and silver mountains, Li Hao suddenly waited.
"Li Hao, get up and receive the holy decree." The white-faced eunuch said in a small voice, and Li Hao knelt there with a smirk on his face, not responding at all.
The eunuch was stunned and raised his voice: "Li Hao, get up and receive the holy decree!" ”
Li Hao continued to smirk, his eyes were about to turn into the shape of copper coins, and Wang Yuantai on the side was in a hurry, and secretly reached out and pinched him.
Li Hao screamed bitterly: "Ah, who the hell pinched me!" ”
The eunuch's face suddenly darkened: "Li Hao, come over and receive the holy decree!" ”
"Huh? Oh! Li Hao hurriedly got up and went over to receive the holy decree, and thanked the eunuch by the way, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
The eunuch clipped his eyelids and snorted without being salty.
Seeing this, Wang Yuantai hurriedly stepped forward, took out three small silver collars and stuffed them into the eunuch's palm, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Li has worked hard all the way, my brother is young and ignorant, father-in-law, please bear with me." ”
The eunuch looked at the silver collars in his hand, each of which was three taels, and suddenly his eyes lit up, his face instantly turned from gloomy to sunny, and said with a smile: "Where is it, Li Hao can be summoned by His Majesty as a cloth cloth at a young age, and he must have a bright future, our family is just an errand messenger, how dare we say bitterness." ”
Wang Yuantai hurriedly handed over his hand: "The father-in-law is serious, and the words are serious." ”
Li Hao looked at Wang Yuantai's flattering appearance, and secretly thought in his heart: "Wang Yuantai, this kid is not simple, he looks honest, I didn't expect Fengying to play so well." ”
At this moment when he was distracted, the eunuch instructed: "Li Hao, you start to prepare, and go to Chang'an with our family early tomorrow morning to face the saint." ”
Li Hao's leader ordered: "Yes." ”
The eunuch nodded in satisfaction, turned and walked out of the courtyard, leaving with the group.
Thinking of going to Chang'an, Li Hao wanted to go back to the Taoist Temple to tell the master, but now that the martial law in the village has not been lifted, he can't get out at all, so he can only dispel this idea.
Hu Laohan's family heard that Li Hao was going to Chang'an to see the emperor, that was happy, and took care of Li Hao more appropriately, almost to stretch out his hand to eat to open his mouth, Liu also specially took out Hu Laohan's newly sewn clothes for Li Hao to change, to see the emperor, how to wear better.
But after Li Hao put on his new clothes, he felt that he was not as handsome as his Taoist robe, the soil was dying, he was simply a farmer, originally, this was the clothes of a farmer.
As soon as dawn broke the next day, someone came to spread Li Hao, Li Hao happened to have breakfast, simply packed his bags, took the donkey eggs and followed the comer, until he arrived at the entrance of the village, only to see a luxurious carriage parked in front of the Jinshui Bridge at the entrance of the village, and there were fifty cavalry guards in front of and after the carriage, each of which was dressed in armor, holding a long soldier, carrying a Tang knife at his waist, waiting in a line expressionlessly, more than 30 cavalry were there, he didn't make a sound, he didn't move, even the horses seemed to have become sculptures, I really don't know how they were trained, Li Hao couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it, and secretly sighed that the Datang cavalry really lived up to its reputation, no wonder Datang could become the world's first power.
Li Hao arrived in front of the carriage, the white-faced eunuch took two steps forward, symbolically greeted Li Hao, and then spread his finger to the carriage, and said: "Li Hao, our family can touch your light this time, usually our family goes out to proclaim, they are all on horseback, this time Your Majesty is afraid that you will not be able to ride a horse, and specially allow our family to drive to pick you up, this is your great honor." ”
"Why don't you just take a carriage, it's chattering." Li Hao was not angry in his heart, but he had to do a good job on the surface, only to see that he suddenly had a solemn look on his face, entered the play in a second, and shook his body in the direction of Chang'an, thanksgiving Dai De shouted, "Your Majesty's grace, Hao remembers it in his heart, and it is difficult to repay the emperor's grace even if he is broken." ”
