Chapter 63 Imperial Edict

The sun is setting in the west and it is getting late.

Ye Qinghuai and Gu Shihai looked at each other tensely.

"Okay. I promise you. When Si Tiantai chooses a good and auspicious day, I will ask the inner court Naji to get married within the month." After a long time, Ye Qinghuai said to Gu Shihai.

Gu Shihai's eyes lit up, and his joy was beyond words.

"Come here! Bring a desk, paper and pen!" Gu Shihai turned around and shouted.

The imperial army brought a simple desk from nowhere. Several soldiers placed the desk horizontally between Ye Qinghuai and Gu Shihai, then spread a long stack of rice paper on the table, and placed a pen holder and

A square of red clay was placed on the corner of the table.

Ye Qinghuai looked at these vigorous and resolute imperial guards, and then looked at the white paper spread out in front of him. He felt like he was a prisoner being forced to draw pictures in a prison.

She raised her head and looked at Gu Shihai, frowning.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to shirk it. I know that the jade seal is with you." Gu Shihai smiled at him.

Ye Qinghuai looked at him for a long time, then finally let go of his energy, picked up his pen and drafted a decree.

After drafting one sentence, she paused for a moment, pushed the drafted edict aside, and started writing the second one.

After both were written, she took out the jade seal from her sleeve, solemnly sealed the first imperial edict, and handed it to Gu Shihai.

"Li Baoquan is not here, so please ask Mr. Gu Ge to read out the imperial edict for me."

Gu Shihai's face immediately darkened after receiving the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

The imperial edict stated that Chun Wei would retry, investigate the third division, and Wang Lisong's case would be retried. There was not a single word that Gu Shihai wanted to see.

"Lao Gu Ge announced this edict in public, and I stamped my seal on another edict."

Gu Shihai looked at another draft that was neatly written on the desk. That one was the imperial edict to appoint the Gu family's daughter as the queen and promise the prince to establish a direct heir.

Gu Shihai's expression darkened and he said: "I have been upright and upright throughout my life. Your Majesty does not need to be so cautious."

"Old Gu Ge was born in the army, so he doesn't know that a soldier never tires of deceit, and he doesn't know how to sail a ship of ten thousand years with caution." Ye Qinghuai looked at Gu Shihai cautiously and said, "Old Gu Ge, please."

Gu Shihai read the imperial edict again, forced a smile, turned around and walked towards the crowd.

He ordered the Chunwei list, he arranged the joint trial of the three departments, and Wang Lisong was also the person he named to suppress and remove. Now asking him to read out this imperial edict in public is tantamount to asking him to slap himself in the face.

But if you can get the position of queen for the Gu family, these are nothing.

Gu Shihai walked to the crowd, unfolded the somewhat crude-looking imperial edict, calmed his breathing and tone, and read slowly: "The Emperor of Heaven is hereby issuing an edict to the world: Chunwei of this year's exam is revoked because he is suspected of cheating by leaking questions.

, ordered a re-examination. The case was reviewed at the Literary School’s cocktail party. There was another hidden secret in the case. Wang Lisong was ordered to return to the capital to go to the palace to express his feelings. Scientific examination is the source of our dynasty’s recruitment of scholars and the foundation of the dynasty. Anyone who disrupts the order of scientific examination will be punished.

I will never tolerate his crime of stealing the country. When I come to the court for the first time, I lament the lack of people and seek talents eagerly. I hope that those who are ambitious in the world will not hesitate to use their talents to help the world. I admire this."

After reading the four words "Kuanshi Jishi", a complicated look appeared in Gu Shihai's eyes.

It seems like nostalgia, like hatred, and some regret that iron cannot become steel.

And in front of him were the people who kowtowed and thanked him.

Gu Shihai had no intention of accepting the students' gratitude. After announcing his decree, he immediately walked back to the desk and looked at Ye Qinghuai across the desk.

"Your Majesty, my sincerity has been fulfilled. It is your Majesty's turn to fulfill your promise."

Ye Qinghuai lowered his head and read the prepared edict again. This edict only had two short lines of words, but it weighed a thousand pounds.

She suddenly felt that she and Gu Shihai were not standing in front of a desk, but in front of a gambling table.

The stakes are the world and each other's lives.

Ye Qinghuai stamped the imperial edict with his seal.

At this point, the bet was concluded and there was no turning back.

Ye Qinghuai looked at the imperial edict with the seal and smiled, and said to Gu Shihai easily: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Mr. Gu Ge to declare this edict."

After all, the person who announces the order and the person who receives the order cannot always be the same person.

When Gu Shihai was thinking about where to find someone to announce the decree, a very suitable candidate appeared.

There was a commotion in Chengtianmen.

A familiar and high-pitched voice came from Chengtianmen.

"Get out of the way! I am Li Baoquan, the chief steward of the imperial court and the commander of the left Yamen Guards. I want to see your majesty. Let me see who of you dares to stop me!"

As expected of a voice honed during his daily briefings on the retreat of the court, Li Baoquan's voice was not only extremely penetrating, but even when he was so angry, he could pronounce his words clearly, allowing people outside the door to hear clearly.

Ye Qinghuai was used to hearing him call himself "slave" and "old slave". Now when he heard him introduce himself as a family member, it didn't sound like a eunuch at all. Instead, he had the aura of a warrior ranger. He couldn't help but feel relieved at first, and then felt

Laughed interestingly.

Fortunately, Li Baoquan is fine.

When Xu Liang caught up with him in Donglin Gate, Ye Qinghuai was worried about his safety.

Now hearing his angry voice, Ye Qinghuai was completely relieved.

Gu Shihai didn't have as many thoughts as Ye Qinghuai. He just felt that Li Baoquan's arrival at this time was very good. He waved his hand and the forbidden army made way.

Li Baoquan, who was in a state of embarrassment, immediately became excited when he saw Ye Qinghuai, and tears welled up in his eyes. But in the blink of an eye, he saw Gu Shihai standing next to Ye Qinghuai. He immediately held back the tears and glared fiercely.

Gu Shihai glanced at it.

Gu Shihai didn't take it seriously and took the initiative to greet him: "Eunuch Li, I'm sorry for bothering you."

"Our family can't afford to be bothered by Mr. Gu Ge." Li Baoquan said in a strange tone.

Ye Qinghuai pushed the imperial edict in front of Li Baoquan and said seriously: "Li Baoquan, go and declare the edict."

Li Baoquan glanced at the edict and his face was immediately filled with surprise. His eyes ran back and forth between the imperial edict and Ye Qinghuai for several times, as if he wanted to see some hint from Ye Qinghuai's face.

"It was drawn up in my own handwriting," Ye Qinghuai said.

"His Majesty……"

As soon as Li Baoquan opened his mouth to say something, Ye Qinghuai immediately interrupted him and said: "I have made up my mind, let's declare the decree."

Seeing Ye Qinghuai like this, Li Baoquan straightened his clothes, picked up the imperial edict, and said loudly: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says: Gu Shihai, the deputy minister of the Taiqing Pavilion, accepted the edict."

Gu Shihai knelt down.

"I only wish that the virtues of the universe and the earth are in harmony, and it is the merit of Shilong's transformation and education. I ask you that the daughter of the Gu family will be gentle and good-natured, chaste and quiet, and she will teach you in the Sixth Palace. She will be the mother of all nations. Because of the treasure, I have appointed the daughter of the Gu family as my daughter.

Queen, please make your legitimate son the crown prince. I admire this."

This is the first prince in the history of Dajing who was established as crown prince before he even had a shadow.

Gu Shihai kowtowed in thanks, raised his hands in the air, and said, "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."
