Chapter 9: The decree arrives
After a while, Xu Tian glanced at Lu Su beside Xu Xiangxiang, and was immediately surprised again.
Why are there so many beauties in you in another world?
This is another top-notch beauty, especially the proud peaks, which are simply surging!
In a sense, this strange girl in yellow attracted more attention than Xu Xiangxiang. He said politely: "Who is this sister?"
"Tian'er, let me introduce you to me. This is Miss Lu Su, your sister's classmate and friend."
Xu Yuanhong, the head of the family, stood up.
"Sister Lu Su, I'm polite here."
Xu Tian gave a gentlemanly tribute.
Lu Su smiled and said with a tribute: "I would like to ask the prince to take care of him."
Her beautiful eyes were lively, and she carefully looked at Xu Tian’s sword-brow-star’s appearance, and her heart was also a little shocked.
As a famous family, she has seen many beautiful men in the world, but it is rare to be as handsome as Mr. Xu.
It’s a pity that such a peerless handsome man. I heard that he seems to be coming if he doesn’t become a martial artist…
After some greetings, Xu Yuanhong, who was happy because the family was rarely reunited, said with a smile: "It's not too early, it's almost time to have a meal, let's..."
Before he could make arrangements, the old butler suddenly ran in: "Master!"
"What's wrong?" Xu Yuanhong saw the old housekeeper rushing and subconsciously felt a little worried. No bad things would have happened.
"Your Majesty has an imperial edict, and someone has come from the palace. He is waiting outside the door for the lord's family to receive the edict!"
After hearing the old housekeeper's words, everyone except Xu Tian was a little surprised. Xu Yuanhong was even more stunned and then looked at Xu Tian incredibly.
Is the imperial edict really coming?
Could it be...
The Golden Armored Guards from the Imperial Capital were divided into two rows on the long street, with great might.
"The imperial edict arrived-"
Seeing the people from the Magnolia Palace headed by Xu Yuanhong, the eunuch said sharply, "The Prince of the Magnolia Palace Xu Tian received the order!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuanhong skipped a beat.
It was actually called for Xu Tian to accept the order!
this……
Everyone in the Magnolia family knelt down one after another.
"In accordance with the heavens, the emperor ordered: Xu Tian, the prince of the Magnolia, and the great fortune of the sky, to subdue the epidemic. I think the epidemic in the south is urgent, so I specially appointed Xu Tian, the prince of the Magnolia, as the left minister of the Ministry of War, and went to Hangzhou to temporarily serve as the vice president of the Tianzun Martial Arts School, to assist the Minister of the Ministry of War to manage the epidemic and serve the country. I set off today, and there must be no mistakes! I respect this!"
A group of servants from the Xu family: "???"
Xu Xiangxiang and Lu Su who were peeking inside the door: "???"
What international jokes are you making!??
Xu Tian?
Be an official??
He also became the Minister of War at once???
Even the outsider Lu Su was shocked and asked Xu Xiangxiang softly: "Didn't you say that your younger brother is not as good as a martial arts? Why did the emperor even give him such a high official? How old is he?"
Xu Yuanhong was even more shocked.
I didn’t expect what my son said was true!
The next moment, he almost couldn't help but stand up and serve the country, but he was just sacrificed for it!
You drove people to the severely affected areas of the plague, which is to make him die young!
You also manage the plague. You have sent so many people to manage the plague. Can anyone cure it?
It’s not obvious that you asked a sixteen-year-old boy to manage the plague!
"My minister, accept the order!"
Only Xu Tian had expected this, and he raised his hands and took the imperial edict without changing his face.
"In addition, Your Majesty has a verbal order." After the imperial edict was handed over, Baimian took two steps subconsciously, deliberately keeping a distance from Xu Tian, a person who had just committed the plague. He also subconsciously touched his nose, for fear of breathing the same air as Xu Tian.
"You will be the one who wants to marry into the Prince's Mansion in the future. If you achieve nothing, you will be criticized. Therefore, Your Majesty will give you a chance to make achievements this time. I hope you can seize it and make achievements to teach the people of the world that the prince deserves the identity of the prince!"
I almost believed the words of my words. Of course, Xu Tian didn't dare to say what he was in his heart and said strongly: "I will do my best to live up to your responsibilities!"
Xu Yuanhong couldn't say anything about his pain.
Although the emperor appointed his son as a high-ranking official, the task assigned was to let him die.
On the surface, as a subject, the Magnolia King still had to stand up politely to show his kindness: "Dadfather-in-law, it's getting late, so why not just rest in the mansion and leave tomorrow?"
Unexpectedly, the white-faced father-in-law subconsciously touched his nose again and was already in a hurry to leave: "No, Prince, the family still has to go back to report his life, so I won't disturb you."
Seeing the convoy coming from the palace gradually drifting away, Xu Tian smiled at his father and said, "This is because we have seen the plague in our palace and dare not stay for a long time."
Xu Yuanhong looked sad and turned his head to look at him seriously: "What's going on?"
"I have told my father a long time ago that His Majesty the Emperor will order me to the severely affected area."
Xu Tian looked indifferent.
Xu Yuanhong frowned even tighter.
There is no point in the slightest joy that his son should have since the founding of the People's Republic of China from being without an official position to becoming a third-rank minister of the Ministry of War.
At night, the bright moon is in the sky and the stars are dotted.
In the brightly lit study, Xu Yuanhong, Xu Tian and Xu Xiangxiang were sitting opposite each other.
The three of the Magnolia family gathered together.
"Why did His Majesty the Emperor do this?"
Just now, an outsider, Lu Su, was there. Xu Yuanhong was inconvenient to say more while eating, and he didn't raise any questions in his heart until then.
"Father, this question is very simple. The fact that Prince Gong wants to recruit me into a marriage has long been known. After learning that I was suffering from a plague, they naturally did not dare to come to propose marriage. It would be fine if I died like this. They still have a way out, saying that it was because of my death and had to cancel the marriage."
"But if I didn't die, they would have to make a comeback due to the previous engagement."
The word "Return" is used in a wonderful way, which is very consistent with the undercurrents at this time. Xu Tian was narcissistic and continued, "However, based on the current research results on smallpox virus, it is still uncertain whether the cured smallpox patients will still be infected with the virus. They still dare not let me marry into Beijing."
"In this way, it means they go back on their word, so in order to protect the royal family's face, they can only find a way to get rid of me."
"It happened to be a plague in the south at that time, and after the death of the former vice principal of Tianzun Martial Arts School, this position was always vacant and no one dared to go. The emperor just rightly sent me to work on his post, calling it training me."
"I gave me the title of the third-rank minister of the Ministry of War and the position of vice principal of the Tianzun Martial Arts School. It seems that I was giving me a chance to gilt to make me, the prince consort, but in fact, I just want me to die decently for the sake of being the prince. In a sense, it is indeed 'the emperor's kindness'."
