Chapter 332: This! Is the Imperial Decree!

Wang Hou's mouth twitched slightly, and he threw the yellow tablecloth aside. He seemed to have caused trouble. Why was his mouth so cheap!

Although he knew that these brothers were just roaring privately after drinking, if they really wanted to make a decision, they still had to see what Big Brother said!

However, the news eventually reached Jiang Jinshi's ears, but it was not a formal report, but Luo Feng "incidentally" mentioned a "drunk talk" when the brothers were drinking privately while reporting military affairs.

After hearing this, Jiang Jinshi just smiled and shook his head, the corners of his mouth hooked with helplessness and emotion.

His brothers still had that reckless spirit of Yangguangzhai.

They might not understand the world's situation or court games, they only knew that whoever was good to Big Brother, they would be good to them. Whoever wanted to harm Big Brother and bully the Northern Frontier, they would fight them to the death.

Jiang Jinshi knew that the world's chess game would sooner or later pull the Northern Frontier into it, but he didn't expect it to be so early.

The Northern Frontier had just lived a good year, and if war broke out again, it would ultimately be the people who suffered. But if people came to the door, tucking their tails and being a person was not his style, and it was not the style of the Ming Army.

Finally, on a beautiful morning, an imperial envoy team of hundreds of people, led by the Vice Minister of Rites, carrying the imperial decree, Prince Ming's court robes, golden seals, jade books, and a dazzling array of rewards, arrived outside Guangwu City in a grand manner.

The Northern Frontier side, according to etiquette, went out of the city to welcome them.

The scene was quite grand, the military appearance was solemn, and the people watched, giving the Imperial Court's envoy enough face. The Vice Minister of Rites was surnamed Zhou, an old and steady official. Seeing that the Northern Frontier's reception was compliant with regulations, his heart settled slightly.

Entering the city, they went directly to the Commander's Mansion. Jiang Jinshi was sitting in the first seat, with the civil and military officials in charge of the Northern Frontier under his command.

Vice Minister Zhou held the imperial decree, stood in front of the hall, and read the decree loudly.

But Jiang Jinshi did not kneel and worship, sitting in his seat motionless, but his face was very calm.

Vice Minister Zhou did not dare to let him kneel and worship, so he pretended not to see it.

The text on the imperial decree was gorgeous, praising Jiang Jinshi for his merit in protecting the border and repelling the Xiongnu, specially enfeoffing him as "Prince Ming," hereditary and perpetual, Governor-General of all military and political affairs in the Northern Frontier, and bestowing corresponding ceremonial guards, seals, and crowns.

Then, he read the list of rewards for the meritorious soldiers of the Northern Frontier. Han Xiao, Luo Feng, Bai Ting, and others were all on the list, each with official positions and titles.

After the imperial decree was read, Vice Minister Zhou smiled all over his face and took out another list of "graceful rewards," and began to read the arrangements for the family members of Prince Ming and his subordinates.

"His Majesty sympathizes with Prince Ming's hard work in guarding the border and the difficulty of the soldiers leaving home, specially granting Prince Ming, and the direct parents, wives, children, brothers, and sisters of meritorious generals such as Han Xiao, Luo Feng... to move to Jingcheng..."

He paused here, specifically looked at Jiang Jinshi in front, and emphasized his tone:

"The Imperial Court will bestow mansions and fields, give generous support, and their children can enter the Imperial Academy or Royal School, in the hope of bringing honor to their ancestors, showing His Majesty's vast grace, monarch and ministers are one, and jointly protecting peace..."

Vice Minister Zhou thought that this was a great grace, and these 'thieves' in the Northern Frontier who had no knowledge, hearing that their family members could enter Jingcheng to enjoy wealth and their children could receive the best education, would inevitably be grateful.

Then, the hall was silent, only to see everyone glaring at him, as if they were going to chew him alive.

Jiang Jinshi, who had been motionless, smiled and said to Xiao Chunqiu: "What kind of imperial decree is this, bring it up for me to see!"

Xiao Chunqiu bowed, then walked quickly to Vice Minister Zhou's side, snatched the imperial decree from the other party's hand, without any politeness.

Vice Minister Zhou's face was livid, but he didn't dare to say a word. This was now someone else's territory.

Jiang Jinshi took the imperial decree and opened it, then laughed with a puff.

"Hahaha..."

"I don't know... why Prince Ming is laughing so much!" Vice Minister Zhou asked under pressure.

"You tell me this is an imperial decree?" Jiang Jinshi held up the imperial decree and threw it at his feet like garbage.

"You... you... how dare you..." Vice Minister Zhou pointed at Jiang Jinshi, obviously angered.

Jiang Jinshi ignored him, but said to Feng Chunsheng: "Old Feng, grind the ink and pick up the pen, write whatever I say!"

"Yes!"

Feng Chunsheng bowed and agreed. Although he didn't know what Jiang Jinshi wanted to do, listening to him was definitely right.

Jiang Jinshi thought for a moment and said: "The remnant of the previous dynasty, Wei Xi Yuan, is granted three feet of white silk!"

Feng Chunsheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately picked up the pen.

Vice Minister Zhou shouted: "Rampant, the rebellious minister actually dares to ignore the Royal Family! Directly stating the Emperor's name!"

"The Chancellor of the previous dynasty, Si Gui, is granted death by beating!" Jiang Jinshi continued: "The Vice Minister of Rites of the previous dynasty, Zhou..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Jinshi paused and asked Vice Minister Zhou very politely: "What is your name? So I can write it down for you."

"Hahaha! So you have hysteria, no different from being stupid!" Vice Minister Zhou laughed, looking at Jiang Jinshi with a mocking face.

Jiang Jinshi ignored him and waved his hand at Feng Chunsheng: "Forget it, just write Vice Minister Zhou, granted death by chariot splitting!"

Vice Minister Zhou looked at Jiang Jinshi as if looking at a clown, not knowing why he was acting like this.

After Feng Chunsheng finished writing, Jiang Jinshi took it, and Li Xinyue came out with a brocade box at the right time.

Opening the brocade box, Jiang Jinshi took out the big seal inside and stamped it on the white paper.

Vice Minister Zhou looked at the seal, which seemed a bit familiar, but before he could look closely, Jiang Jinshi above threw the white paper down!

"Take it back, this is what you use to finish your job!"

Vice Minister Zhou didn't know the situation at all, he had never encountered such a weird thing.

But after thinking about it, he bent down and picked up the white paper. Anyway, this matter couldn't be blamed on him. Since Jiang Jinshi didn't know how to appreciate favors, he would report the truth.

Just the moment he opened the white paper, Vice Minister Zhou immediately froze in place and didn't dare to move.

The red seal on the white paper was actually the seal of the Imperial Jade Seal!

"You... you... this this..."

Seeing Vice Minister Zhou shocked, the brothers around discussed in low voices.

"What did Big Brother give? Why is this bastard not talking?"

"Don't know! I didn't see it!"

"Didn't Big Brother just say it? Grant that dog Emperor a death!"

Yan Wu vaguely guessed, after all, the Imperial Jade Seal had always been in Jiang Jinshi's hands. No wonder Big Brother laughed just now and said what kind of imperial decree this was. It turned out that he was waiting here!

Jiang Jinshi finally looked at Vice Minister Zhou: "Without even the seal of the Imperial Jade Seal, you dare to come to me with a yellow cloth and tell me it's an imperial decree. Look carefully, this! Is the imperial decree!!"

Vice Minister Zhou swallowed his saliva, his brain was a mess, and he didn't know what to say at this moment.

"Since you still have to convey the decree, your chariot splitting punishment will be temporarily postponed, step back!"

Vice Minister Zhou subconsciously wanted to bow and salute, then step back, but suddenly thought, no! ===== CHAPTER 333 =====
