Eunuch Gao quickly stretched out his hand and helped Zhao Ce up.

He said: "Zhao Yishi does not need to be polite."

"Now that the sun is too strong, it's better to announce the decree quickly, so you don't have to suffer outside."

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "The ceremony is ready. Father-in-law, please come in."

Eunuch Gao nodded with satisfaction and followed the others inside.

From the corner of his eye, Zhao Ce saw Master Xu and others following the team, smiled and ignored them.

The defenders naturally did not dare to conflict with these people.

It is indeed not difficult for Mr. Xu to lead his people to break through, as long as he is willing to abandon his image.

Liu Ruyu also noticed this group of people and followed them in helplessly.

Master Xu and the others who were watching from behind the team muttered in confusion: "Did I not explain this man's crime clearly just now? Why didn't he seem to be affected at all?"

Magistrate Cui glanced at them, snorted coldly, and followed them into the house.

The steps for receiving the decree are similar to those before.

After Eunuch Gao took out the imperial edict, he read it directly.

"Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict: Zhao Ce, a citizen of Gaowen County, Gaozhou Prefecture, Zhili. At a weak age, you were able to fight bravely and led the Gaozhou garrison to capture the rebels and their leaders, protecting the safety of the people of the city. Also, the debit notes developed

The method of accounting is used by the Ministry of Household Affairs. It has contributed to stabilizing the country, so I commend it. I will give you a title, make you Yongxibo, and provide food and salary for 500 households..."

"Exemption from ordinary service for ten years..."

"In addition, I think that his accounting method is meritorious, so I will keep your academic status, contribute to the Imperial College, and continue to participate in the imperial examination..."

...

After Eunuch Gao finished reciting, everyone present except Liu Ruyu seemed to be frozen.

The whole place was silent.

Zhao Ce even suspected that he had heard wrongly.

Knighted?

He was not very familiar with the military merit system of the Ming Dynasty. He only knew that this title was extremely difficult to obtain in this dynasty.

Especially for literati who want to be knighted, it is even more difficult to reach heaven.

The only civil servant who was knighted in his memory was a bug-like existence, Master Wang Yangming.

This is...

Zhao Ce felt a little uneasy for a moment.

Su Cai'er, who was kneeling behind Zhao Ce, blinked in confusion, feeling that she didn't understand what the imperial envoy said.

But she couldn't raise her head, so she could only look at the soles of her husband's shoes in front of her with full of questions.

Eunuch Gao smiled and said: "Uncle Yongxi, congratulations, please accept the order."

Zhao Ce quickly reached out his hand, took the imperial edict, and held it high above his head.

The little fireman behind him holds a complete set of court clothes in his hands, with a crown and hat with a pheasant tail stuck on it.

Xiao Huozi touched the court dress directly in front of Su Cai'er: "Mrs. Yong Xibo, this is my uncle's court dress."

Su Cai'er quickly reached out and took it, looking at the strange-shaped clothes on it, holding it high nervously, her hands trembling slightly.

Magistrate Cui and others next to him also came to their senses, and all of them suddenly opened their eyes wide and looked at Zhao Ce in disbelief.

Did they hear it correctly?

Knighted?

Moreover, Zhao Ce's academic status was retained and he could continue to take part in the imperial examination in the future.

Even if his title has no real power, he can still enter the officialdom through the imperial examination and eventually gain actual power!

Magistrate Cui glanced at the person next to him in shock.

Looking at the shock on the faces of this group of people, it seems that I heard it right...

Master Xu and others standing outside had their faces turned to stone.

Zhao Ce held the imperial edict, and Eunuch Gao personally helped him up from the ground.

Zhao Ce quickly stopped his racing thoughts and said calmly: "Thank you, father-in-law."

"The house is simple, so please invite my father-in-law into the house for a cup of hot tea."

Eunuch Gao smiled and waved his hand and said, "Hot tea is not necessary."

"After our family declares the decree to your family, we have to rush to your school to declare the decree to your other students."

Although Zhao Ce's classmates did not have as much merit as him, since Zhao Ce received such a big reward, they would naturally get something similar.

The academy that taught Zhao Ce and others also flew up the branches.

After Eunuch Gao finished speaking, he pointed to a group of people standing by the door who were in a state of petrification and said: "Master Liu, does Mr. Xu, who is transferring to the Yamen, seem to have a grievance?"

After saying that, he motioned for Master Xu and others to come in.

Mr. Xu didn't know how he walked in.

By the time he reacted, he had already reached the yard.

The big sun above his head was scorching, but he felt a chill running from his feet to the top of his head.

Eunuch Gao asked again: "Master Xu, please explain the grievances you just mentioned."

"Our family and Jin Yiwei are here, no one will dare to protect anyone."

Mr. Xu groaned and suddenly shivered.

just......

What did the imperial edict say just now? Did he hear the imperial edict saying that Zhao Ce had contributed to the accounting method?

Then the data Liu Ruyu found out was confirmed by the court, wasn't it?

Since this is the case, then the missing data from his transportation department is real and can be used as evidence...

How many times would the missing number be enough for him to die?

But he used this to block the way of the imperial envoys and beg them to make the decision for him?

What kind of decision does this take? Do you have the decision to send yourself to the West as soon as possible?

Mr. Xu trembled his legs and felt his lower abdomen tightening, and there was a vague feeling of something strange.

He hesitated and said: "Down, down to the official..."

Seeing his hesitant expression, Eunuch Gao became impatient again.

He is not an ordinary eunuch who oversees rituals, so he naturally doesn't have much patience with these small officials.

He said to Liu Ruyu: "Since Mr. Xu can't tell you now, let's think about it again."

"We still have an imperial edict to declare, so we can't stay for a long time. I also ask Mr. Liu to check it carefully and don't wrong anyone."

Liu Ruyu stood up and looked at Master Xu and others with a half-smile.

"What my father-in-law said is that I will investigate thoroughly."

Eunuch Gao nodded and said to Zhao Ce: "Uncle, our family will leave first."

Zhao Ce said goodbye, and Eunuch Gao left first with Jin Yiwei, Magistrate Cui and others.

Magistrate Cui didn't have time to talk to Zhao Ce for the time being, so he gave Mr. Xu a hard look when he left.

After Eunuch Gao left with the people, the yard suddenly became empty.

Zhao Ce still held the imperial edict in his hand and looked at Mr. Xu who was sweating like rain.

Mr. Xu was so anxious that he almost cried. The group of people behind him also had pale and pale faces.

Liu Ruyu spoke up and said: "Master Xu, what grievance do you have that you want to block the imperial envoy's way?"

"Now that the Imperial Envoy has spoken, will the Censor and Uncle help you properly redress your grievances?"

Mr. Xu's feet immediately softened and he knelt down with a "pop" sound.
