Chapter 1: The Divine Decree

"Uncle He, I haven't heard of any child's child who has been drinking since he was a child!"

Grinding and talking, Liu Heng's eyes rolled, and he secretly moved his feet out.

"Three coins of wine in the cup, doesn't it mean that I am weak when I am small, Uncle He, you deliberately went to find the earthwork, the self-prepared medicinal wine? But in the past few years, I have even had fewer colds, so I don't have to drink it anymore, right? I remember when I was a child, I had to drink it every three days, and when I grew up, I had to drink it once every seven days, Uncle He, you don't know, this wine went down, like a hot breath straight into the stomach, and then the whole body seemed to be roasted by fire, and it was uncomfortable for most of the day......

"......" Uncle He was unmoved, and moved to block Liu Heng's escape, "You must drink." ”

After eating the bowl of vegetable porridge for dinner today, I saw the gilded copper cup in Uncle He's hand, just smelling the heavy aroma of wine, Liu Heng was also drunk.

An old man and a young stared at each other for a moment, knowing that he would definitely not be able to beat Uncle He at this point, Liu Heng pulled the wine glass and drank it all with a broken face.

Without waiting for the mellow aroma of the wine to bloom in the taste buds, it was already like a line of heat passing through the throat and entering the stomach, and in the blink of an eye, it surged straight up, making Liu Heng in the cold of the coming winter, he had to incite the thin green shirt to exude the heat all over his body, and sighed resignedly with a red face.

"Uncle He, our family spends their days on porridge every day, and it's too luxurious to drink, isn't it? Why don't you take the wine away and add two slices of meat every day?" Thinking about it, Liu Heng's eyes lit up, and the more he thought about it, the more right he became.

He was brought up by He Bo since he was a child, what he was thinking, He Bo understood as soon as he heard it, and put away the dishes and chopsticks with a smile, "At most, stay up for two more years, and when you are fourteen years old, you will be able to participate in the clan examination." With the young master's literary talent, the hereditary title of Marquis Gu Bei in the family is a matter of hand-to-hand, and when the young master takes the title, the monthly money rises sharply, not to mention drinking wine and eating meat, every day the delicacies of the mountains and seas are fine!"

"There are still two years...... Liu Heng counted the days with his fingers, and continued to sigh.

Uncle He's self-brewed wine is not not delicious, and the porridge tastes excellent every day, but no matter how delicious it is, everyone will feel tired of eating it like this every meal.

"By the way, Mr. Wu of the school said that you will go there in a few days, I am almost finished teaching, and when the last four volumes of "Tongyi Annotations" are completed, it will be completed. ”

Liu Heng pondered again, "Mr. wants to recommend me to go to the state city of Liqiancheng to find Mr. Wu's teacher to continue studying, I think of Liqiancheng, I will apply for the clan examination, and I don't have to work hard for two more years, how good." ”

He Bo, who was facing Liu Heng with his back, frowned slightly when he heard this, he didn't have to worry about whether he could pass the test, but he seemed to have other worries, but he didn't want to explain it to Liu Heng, so he just smiled and refused: "I've survived for more than ten years, and it doesn't hurt to have two more years, it's better for the young master to be safe." ”

"In the big exam of the clan family, more than 100 people of more than 1,000 gentlemen can pass it, and it is impossible to stump me!" Liu Heng still wanted to fight, but suddenly heard a loud sound of the door of the house being kicked open.

Is this Liu family in Liu'an County, Qianzhou, a place where people live? Is there still no one and no one?"

Someone shouted in a shrill voice, and the sound came from far and near, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, which was very strange. He Bo's movements stiffened suddenly, and he was shocked and uncertain, turned around and stepped out of the door quickly, and when he saw the person clearly, he stood silently by the door, his expression was unprecedentedly dignified.

Liu Heng followed closely, and the moment he saw the person coming, he also stood on the spot.

I saw two majestic men with knives catching fast, and they were rare to see with their clothes and hats upright, with their heads held high. The tall and thin figure in front of the two of them was dressed even more luxuriously and solemnly, more elaborate than the county lord, with a crimson satin robe and a towering palace hat!

Looking at the white and beardless yin and thin face, even if Liu Heng has never seen it, he can conclude at a glance that he is a eunuch!

"What are you doing here?" "A eunuch, what are you doing here?" Suddenly and unclear, this raging formation alone makes people feel uneasy, "Liu'an County is located in the frontier, and it is also a small and remote county, and it is not only thousands of miles away from the capital! A eunuch who has crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to arrive is by no means a trivial matter! But I heard Uncle He say that the Liu family in Liu'an County has long been broken, and I, Liu Heng, am already the only seedling, and I have no relatives and family, so nothing happens in the imperial court should implicate me......"

"After my family is destroyed, no big people will pay attention to it anymore, as for me, I don't have a hereditary title, and I have been following the rules, I'm afraid that no one will know about my existence. But as soon as this eunuch came, he bluntly said that the Liu family in Liu'an County, Qianzhou, then that's right, it's indeed my family, it's really strange......"

Liu Heng couldn't guess it after thinking about it, and was anxious, when he suddenly vaguely remembered something.

"That's right!"

"Recently, I heard that the imperial court has moved a lot of swords, and now the saint is two years apart, and he will march north again, following the recovery of the three cities two years ago, and then go down to the two cities of Dezhou, which is a miracle for the world!

"The official list said that the first time in 700 years to regain the lost territory, two big victories, the saint can get the emperor Kaiping, it is a happy event. Therefore, the Holy Lord decided to favor the whole country, and the big city opened the night and fasted for five days, pardoned the criminals below minor crimes, and reduced the taxes by half for one year, and finally it was even more rare to mention the emperor's relatives and relatives. ”

As we all know, today's saints are diligent in government and love for the people, civil and martial arts, and are very harsh on the emperor's relatives alone. Not only did it greatly increase the difficulty of the clan examination, but it also made the children of the nobles of each family complain, and whoever made a slight mistake would definitely be reprimanded by the holy decree, but whichever family had great merits to the imperial court would also receive at least two or three times less rewards than those from poor families.

Therefore, I heard that even in the capital today, the princes and noble relatives received the holy decree, and they were all sincerely afraid, and only this grand event made it clear that the favor to the relatives of the emperor and the country.

Eighty percent can determine the eunuch's intention, and Liu Heng's heart is finally settled. Although it is difficult to live because of the broken family background, his family can still hang the title of the emperor's relatives, and it is said that it is Tui'en, that is a good thing to come to the door!

Thinking of this, Liu Heng's heart inevitably became hot, it could benefit his imperial grace, not to mention the promotion of his honorary position to increase the monthly money, and then maybe he could get the fief in advance, the highest, the highest, maybe the highest...... You can even attack the knight in advance?!

Under the strong pressure, he didn't even care much about the eunuch's contemptuous and bad attitude, Liu Hengzheng swept the leader with a turban, and bowed slightly to the eunuch.

"Liu Heng of Liu'an County, Qianzhou, has seen the imperial envoy!"

"You are Liu Heng?"

The eunuch looked at the old and the young, his narrow eyes fixed on the handsome young man in front of him, only to see that the young man looked not very old, but he was already clear and beautiful, although the dress was shabby and thin, but it was also very decent, showing a smart literary atmosphere, which was more rare than the temperament that most of the noble children could not hide.

But the more unique it is, the more unpleasant it is for the eunuchs.

Because even this kind of noble son who is extremely broken in the family way can have the opportunity to study and improve, and he doesn't want to study, the family only sold him into the palace for two pieces of vegetable cakes, and he can't be humane for the rest of his life, and he trembles and lives.

Other noble families are born rich and noble, and he has never been born with the heart of comparison, because he has long known that he is born in three, six, nine and so on. But compared with the Liu family, they are also poor, and the difference is only a noble title, and the situation is still very different, how can he not be jealous and hateful in his heart?

It's a pity that your house is broken, it's a pity that ...... You can really grow into a dragon and phoenix in the future, what can you do?

He snorted coldly in his heart, and he didn't know what to think, which finally made him calm down and sneered faintly.

"Take it!"

I don't know the thoughts that turned in the eunuch's heart, Liu Heng only felt strange, why the eunuch's attitude was a lot colder, but when he heard this scream, he suddenly froze, tried to calm down, and bent down deeply according to the etiquette mentioned in the book.

This great gift is exquisite, the so-called seeing the decree is like seeing the king, it needs to be the level of the waist and the earth, and the head is lower than the holy decree, representing the number of rituals for all the people on the earth to worship the Son of Heaven.

"Prince Rong's thirty-eighth generation great-grandson, Gu Beihou's sixth-generation great-grandson, Liu Heng, welcome the holy decree!"

Solemnly thinking of the glory of the family, Liu Heng intuitively felt the novelty, never thought that one day, he would also receive the highest and most noble imperial letter in the world, such as the Holy Decree. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh, saying that it was the highest and noble, but to put it bluntly, wasn't it a letter written by the emperor, the head of the family, to his side disciples?

The eunuch straightened his waist and respectfully held out a roll of gold silk in his sleeve.

The yellow scroll is golden, bright and shining, and it is difficult for people to look directly in the dusk, only to spread out, a vast and luxurious atmosphere has been overwhelming, this appearance does not need to be inspected, it must be genuine. In fact, now that the emperor is mighty, no one dares to take the great risk of the Nine Clans and dare to forge the holy decree.

"Emperor Weide Kaiping edict said, Feng'en general Liu Heng, the age of the crown, sparse and inferior, not enterprising, worthy of the emperor's ancestors......"

No, no! Just hearing the beginning, Liu Heng became more and more stunned.
