Beautiful step by step

Chapter 72

Wei Wei had seen the secret decree in Yan Heng's hand before, it was given to him privately by Prince Duan after the wedding at Guangyuan Building on the night of their marriage.

On the second day, he went back to his mother's house, and after telling the whole story, he revealed the secret decree by the way.At that time, she was surprised after reading it. Everyone said that the royal family is rich and noble, and a pair of obscene trousers worn by the emperor cost a thousand taels of silver. How could the secret order issued by the emperor be so close to the people.The secret decree is that the fold is wrapped with a layer of cloth of the same color as the imperial decree.

But this layer of bright yellow cloth represents the supreme power of Dai Viet.

No matter whether it is the Governor of Yuan or the Commander of the Liangzhou Guard, they have to put aside the hustle and bustle in the government office, obediently open the gate and go down the steps, lift up their brocade robes and kneel in front of Yan Heng.

The governor of Chu was a stout man, his complexion was tanned by the scorching sun on the Gobi.As today's Birthday Lord, with a dark red brocade robe on his upper body, he looks a bit nondescript.

But Wei Wei didn't ignore his strange posture when he was kneeling on the ground. Since she said that she was weak and inconvenient to be pregnant, exercising has become a daily routine again.Yan Zhenfu, who was supposed to be busy, was able to find time to run and fight with her every day.The mansions in both Jiuquan and Liangzhou are very large, so big that there is a martial arts arena where you can run horses in the third entrance.After punching, the interest came, and the two of them were here to feed the moves.

In her previous life, the tricks she learned from the mercenary master were only for appearances, and they were ruthless; while Yan Heng's training in the army mainly focused on grandeur.It was a lot of fun to compete with a completely different system, and her half-baked level has also improved a lot.

And when the Inspector Chu knelt down in front of him, he didn't bend down first, but spread his legs outward first, a little bit of habit revealed inadvertently, which all showed his solid kung fu foundation.After kneeling down, the fingers he grasped on the ground were not as slender as those of an official, but thick and powerful from the grinding of a weapon.

Judging from the appearance alone, the governor of Chu is also a man who knows how to fight.Faced with such a person, Wei Wei did not dare to take it lightly, and pulled Ah Tong to take a step back, avoiding the crowd of people kneeling down.

Seeing this, the governor of Chu was quite satisfied, as expected of a maid from Zhenbeihou's mansion, she just had eyesight.

After kneeling and saluting, he raised his head to face Yan Heng who was standing there.

"I don't know what the emperor's will is."

Yan Heng firmly grasped the secret decree: "The emperor appointed me as a governor, just to let me investigate some things secretly."

The governor of Chu knew it clearly: "Oh, I don't know the secret decree, but the Liangzhou government needs help?"

Yan Heng nodded: "Naturally."

The governor of Chu broke the casserole and asked the end: "How to help, please ask Yan Zhenfu to read the secret decree, or let me wait and see."

Yan Heng kicked the secret decree back into his arms, hiding it so tightly that not a single corner could be exposed.

"Since it is a secret decree, of course it cannot be shown to others casually."

Most of the officials in Liangzhou Prefecture knelt down, almost vomiting blood when they heard this sentence.Why call them out if you can't announce the decree on the spot!The banquet prepared by the governor's mansion was very sumptuous. Although it hadn't been served yet, there was no shortage of singing and dancing performances.Sitting on a large chair, there was a pretty maid holding her shoulders, eating melon seeds and looking at the dancer with a snake waist. They were enjoying themselves when they were suddenly called out to kneel under the sun.

Isn't it deceiving people to say such words for most of the day?
Yan Heng's eyes were calm, and he looked around at the kneeling officials.He has seen all these people before, including the Governor of Chu, they all followed Wu Liangyong's lead.

After he had seen enough, and when the Inspector of Chu could hardly hold his breath, he finally added a sentence: "However, we will all be officials in Liangzhou in the future, so naturally the content of the secret decree should not be concealed. Your Majesty is very concerned about the current situation of the Northwest Army. Please pay attention to one or two."

That's all?

The people who were called out halfway were a little angry, but when Yan Zhenfu said that he would not hide the secret order, they concentrated their energy and listened.But now, with your pants off, just show me this.

The imperial court cares about the situation of the Northwest Army every year, and the first priority of the Shengjia's west tour is to check the Northwest industrial defense.Since the order from Beijing came over a month ago, after asking Wu Shangshu for instructions quickly, they became busy tops.Beggars must be chased away, poor people must be relocated, the palace allocated special funds to renovate, and even the gate of the Liangzhou government office has been repainted, and the nose is still full of paint.

Regardless of whether the emperor will come to Liangzhou or not, in short, the money that should be spent must be spent, and the factors of disharmony that should be eradicated must be eliminated.

Don't miss this opportunity, the emperor hasn't come to the northwest for ten years, who knows that the next time he will come will be the year of the monkey.If you don't spend money at this time, there is usually no big excuse to make money openly.

But now Yan Zhenfu said that the emperor's secret decree is to care about the Northwest Army, and this kind of thing needs to be specially issued a secret decree?
Yan Zhenfu must not be telling the truth!
This was the consensus of all Liangzhou officials kneeling on the ground. The distrust was too strong, and Yan Heng felt it without looking.This is the reason why he spoke the secret decree frankly, and these people would not believe it anyway.And today he said that this word has passed the Ming road, and in the future he will openly investigate some matters related to the Northwest Army.

Touching the secret decree on his chest, he cupped his hands and said politely: "I am entrusted with the emperor's order, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. In the future, I would like to ask my colleagues to make it easier for me. Please hurry up, my colleagues."

Everyone got up and moved their numb legs, looking at the sun in the sky, and tossed about for nearly half an hour just like this.

Even so, the bright yellow secret decree on Yan Heng's chest was like a golden medal for avoiding death.The most thoughtful General Wu is far away in the capital, and now there is no leader in the group, no matter how nonsense the content is, they dare not have the slightest complaint.Not only that, they also had to respectfully invite Yan Heng to enter the Liangzhou government office as if they were an uncle.

As for the routine shaming, everyone is smart enough to forget.

"Yan Zhenfu, please."

Chu Inspector's face was a little ugly, and it was Commander Wu who spoke.Although his surname is Wu, he is not from the Wu family, but a servant who has been with Wu Shangshu since he was a child.When Wu Shangshu came to Northwest, he found a way to get him out of slavery and became a lieutenant general. Afterwards, he became Wu Shangshu's number one confidant, and followed him up step by step.

Until Wu Shangshu became the most powerful general in the Northwest, he also rose to the top and became the commander of the third-rank Liangzhou Guard.

At this moment, Commander Wu didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face. He looked at Yan Heng with a look that even showed the kindness of the younger generation with a sense of seniority.

"Yan Zhenfu is really young and promising. I heard that Mrs. Zun also married from the capital. Isn't she a girl from some other family?"

Yan Heng said politely: "You should not be praised by the Commander."

Avoiding the important and taking the light, as slippery as a loach, Commander Wu's eyes flashed a different kind of emotion.He once observed Yan Heng when he inspected Jiuquan city defense.At that time, he felt that this son had a certain degree of advance and retreat, and his actions seemed to be tough, but in reality he always stepped on the bottom line.The most terrible thing is that he has always been kind to others, and he has made friends from all over the world, and he can talk to him from all schools of thought.

At that time, he felt that Yan Heng must either take him for his own use, or let him disappear early.

It's just that the timing was not so coincidental. At that time, General Wu learned that the Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Central Beijing was old and would retire in a few years, so he wanted to take this opportunity to make further progress.He only reported Yan Xiaoqi, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Wu Gong listened to it, and kept teasing Yan Xiaoqi like a cat.In the end, he even felt that with Yan Xiaoqi's sharp knife in his hand, it would be good to help him earn some military merit to climb up.This time, Yan Xiaoqi made great contributions in the Northwest Dajie, and pushed Wu Gong to the high position of Wei Zhenfu in Liangzhou.At that time, he felt that it was time to get rid of this person, but Wu Gong felt a rare sense of guilt and allowed him to follow him to the capital.Even Yan Yun, the hostage, was allowed to take him with him.

This trip really went wrong, the sharp sword was finally out of its sheath, and it caught the eyes of the emperor.Wu Gong, who always thought he was the one holding the sword, was injured, and he also returned to Liangzhou, which became a big hidden danger.

Commander Wu was so regretful that his intestines turned green, but his complexion remained unchanged.

"To make the emperor more favored, Yan Zhenfu really doesn't need to be overly humble. By the way, Yan Zhenfu has never said which rich family his wife comes from."

The hole was dug so clearly that for some reason, Yan Heng suddenly remembered Ah Mao's evaluation of Liangzhou's officialdom last night - "innocent to cute".

Raising the corners of his lips, he said frankly: "It's not a big family, it's just an ordinary family in Beijing."

"Ordinary people?"

Commander Wu said in surprise, the voice was so loud that even the female relatives behind could hear it clearly.

Wei Wei stepped through the wide-open middle door, smelling the strong smell of paint on both sides, she smiled playfully.It's really a toast and no fine wine. Just now, Yan Heng honestly let them leave the back door, and Yan Heng would not come up with a secret decree to torment everyone.This is great, everyone has to accompany her to make a big circle again.

Because of that secret decree just now, her status has also risen.Walking among the female relatives, she has two guardians on her left and right.On the left is Mrs. Chu Governor, and on the right is Mrs. Wu Commander.

Married and obeyed their husbands, the temperament of the two wives is exactly the same as that of their husbands.Mrs. Chu was a little indifferent, while Mrs. Wu talked to her enthusiastically.

Mrs. Wu is very artistic in her speech, from the shallow to the deep, suppressing desires first.First, he praised her clothes for their fit and style, and asked her where she bought them.Wei Wei said calmly that it was bought by Jinxiufang, and she went over the science of Jinxiufang, which is famous in Dayue.After complimenting her clothes, she praised her skin, and after boasting her skin, she praised her jewelry, until she was praised as a fairy born by the queen mother, and she didn't show annoyance.

"Look at my memory, I have asked so many questions, but I forgot to ask the most important thing. Madam Yan's whole body looks like a royal princess. I don't know which big family you come from in the capital?"

It finally came, and the eyes watching the show around were as real as they were, mixed with a very faint trace of worry.Wei Wei looked at Mrs. Wu's other side, and shook her head at Ah Tong reassuringly.

Looking at it like this, the fact that she was born in a merchant should have been popularized just now.That's why this group of people knelt down just now, so they were so upset.But so what?The imperial decree in Yan Heng's hand was genuine, no matter how aggrieved they were, they would have to kneel obediently.

After transmigrating, Weiwei knew that she had been a maid, and even had sex with the house, and sooner or later someone would mention it.Because she has never been a mediocre person, and one day she will become a master.Most people are like this, if a person is high since birth, they will kneel and lick the gods and goddesses.However, people who are similar to or inferior to their own situation will suddenly surpass themselves one day, and the sour water will suddenly emerge.

They only care about their own unwillingness, but they never think about how much effort such a person has to make to succeed.

Human nature is like this, Wei Wei doesn't force it, but she never criticizes herself because of other people's character flaws.

Just as he was about to answer calmly, he heard Commander Wu's surprised voice in front of him.Then a bunch of officials in brocade robes walking in front turned their heads one after another, wishing their eyes could turn into microscopes to study her clearly.

The pressure suddenly increased, but Wei Wei laughed: "My natal family is an ordinary merchant."

Not only ordinary people, but also merchants.

The colleagues looked at Yan Heng with sympathy in their eyes. The status of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants is not even comparable to that of masons who have to work for free for [-] days a month in the yamen.He is an official from Wupin Township, who can be ranked high in the huge Liangzhou, and he actually married a businesswoman.

At first they were sympathetic, but when they saw Mrs. Yan's face remained unchanged under the pressure, the men's minds quickly changed.The merchant's daughter is not without benefits, at least the dowry is generous.Mrs. Yan was so beautiful that she seemed to be able to handle it. It seemed that it would not be a loss to marry such a daughter-in-law.Most people think so, but the Inspector of Chu, Commander Wu and other well-informed people know that Yan Heng was still a Qipin Xiaoqi until the night of their marriage, so they will take a closer look at Madam Yan's appearance, and even feel that he has made a profit. .

Opposites attract, men will always be more tolerant of women.It's just that Wei Wei's face helped her regain her man's favorability by holding her emotions under a wave of contemptuous gazes.

However, on the side of the official wife, she was completely killed.Mrs. Wu first praised her as a fairy, and then exposed her humble background, and the ridicule of the ladies came unabashedly.While ridiculing, he noticed the tolerance in the eyes of the men, and overturned the jars of jealousy one after another.

Behind Mrs. Chu, a dark and thin woman said disdainfully: "Sure enough, she is used to showing her face in the public eye, and she is making a fuss here in full view."

"What did you say?"

Just as Wei Wei opened his mouth, he heard the same voice coming from the front.Yan Heng, who had been walking in the first row, had already stood beside her at some point.Facing Wu and Zhou, the palm of Tathagata, which was shown twice, was raised again, and fell high against the sun. After the loud slap, the black and thin woman lost her balance and fell to the ground.

In the courtyard where Liangzhou Government Ya first entered, there was a moment of silence.

Everyone is an official, no matter what happened before, since you are an official, you must show some dignity.Even if you are really angry, you have to pretend to be magnanimous and make dirty tricks afterwards.I didn't expect Yan Zhenfu to be so simple and straightforward, and he hit him straight away.

The husband of the black and thin woman is the general judge of Liangzhou Prefecture. Contrary to the married daughter-in-law, the general judge is white and fat.He usually does the work of literacy and hyphenation, and he admires all kinds of beauties depicted in the book.When he saw Mrs. Yan just now, he was astonished.He was also very angry when he heard his wife's vulgar abuse.Just as he was about to wink and go home to teach his wife, he didn't expect Yan Zhenfu to slap him.

Although Mr. Tong San likes to look at beauties, he values ​​his own face more.His fat body moved forward, his double chin trembled.

"Master Zhenfu has something to say, so why bother?"

Yan Heng laughed teasingly: "She? Is it worth my hands, hands, feet?"

Wei Wei stood in front of the black and thin woman, Ruhua Meijuan and the black widow became the best control group.There was a crowd of people in the courtyard, and someone laughed unkindly.

"You..." The judge who used the wrong words blushed, "Isn't it just a sentence, I just asked her to make an apology, as for... as for..."

"Do your hands and feet?"

Relying on the relationship with the superior and not having much ink in his stomach, the general judgment is poor: "Anyway, you understand what I mean."

Yan Heng put away the ridicule on his face, and his expression became solemn: "As the saying goes, a husband and wife are one, and if she scolds my daughter-in-law, it's tantamount to scolding me. Just after I announced the secret decree of the Holy Majesty, she spoke rudely. Could it be that she is dissatisfied with the Majesty? Hey, My slap is also to protect Lord Tongjuan."

What the hell!

This was the voice of everyone in the courtyard, especially the judge, who was stunned.According to this, he still has to thank Yan Zhenfu for playing well and wonderfully?
