Chapter 345: Eternal Governance

Zhou Laoda knew that the father-in-law had come to announce the decree, so he asked them to get ready this morning before his father had eaten. "Go to each room and inform them to go to the front yard to receive the decree."

After giving his instructions, Zhou Lao Da walked to the main house. The door of his parents' room was open. His mother was writing and knocking on the door, "Mom, the officials and eunuchs from the palace have come to announce the imperial decree."

Zhulan put down her pen and looked at the small wooden box at hand. She pursed her lips and was not happy. She had three houses and held the small box. "Let's go."

Zhulan took two steps and paused, "Wait a moment."

Zhou Laoda looked at his mother with envy as she took out fifty taels of silver from her purse and stuffed it into the purse. She handed the purse to Zhou Laoda and said, "Give the purse to your father later."

Boss Zhou took the purse and said, "Hey."

This is for my father-in-law. I took a deep breath. Fifty taels!

Zhulan took Li and others who were waiting in the backyard to the front yard, where Zhou Shuren had been chatting with his father-in-law for a while. Because Zhou Shuren was the first one to be summoned yesterday, his father-in-law was particularly polite to him.

When the eunuch saw that everyone had arrived, he took the imperial edict. Zhou Shuren and his family knelt down to receive the edict. The eunuch said, "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, hereby declares that the wife of the Lizhou prefect, Ms. Yang, is hereby granted to you as your wife. This is the seal of the fourteenth year of the Yongzhi reign, dated April 16th."

Zhulan was really stunned. She just glanced at the thing the official was carrying and it was clearly Zhou Shuren's official uniform. She didn't expect it to be an imperial decree for her. Ranks one to five were called imperial decrees, and ranks six to nine were called laimos. She was an imperial decree, and in the future she would be able to receive a salary.

Zhulan followed Zhou Shuren to thank him and soon realized that the emperor was shameless enough to take away the three houses, so she took the initiative to give her the imperial edict.

Zhou Shuren helped Zhulan up. He had cursed the dog emperor a lot in his heart yesterday, but today he was much more obedient. The official said that his official uniform and Zhulan's imperial uniform were put away. Zhou Shuren took out his purse and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand, "Thank you for your hard work today."

The eunuch who announced the decree pinched the light and fluttering hand, and smiled even more deeply, "Master Zhou, you are too polite."

Zhou Shuren felt bad again when he saw that his father-in-law had no intention of leaving after the imperial decree was announced. He was also waiting for the title deed to the house!

Zhulan cursed in her heart, but smiled as she took the box and handed it to Zhou Shuren, who then handed it to her father-in-law, who smiled even more. "The bastard is back in the palace to report."

Zhou Shuren stood up to see him off. He looked at the eunuch with no prejudice. If one was not forced into this situation due to poverty, who would be willing to be a eunuch? Besides, the emperor spoke very quietly when he talked about moving houses. Although the eunuch was young, he must be a confidant of the emperor, so there was nothing wrong with the emperor seeing him off personally.

The eunuch was very pleased and thought to himself that Lord Zhou was indeed as smart as Eunuch Liu said. "Lord Zhou, please stay."

Zhou Shuren stood at the gate, "Please come in, sir."

Zhou Shuren waited until the officials and eunuch left before returning to the courtyard. He saw Zhulan touching the imperial robe, but there were too many people at home and she was reluctant to say anything.

Zhulan likes the husband with imperial decree very much. She just took a look at the size and it is her size. Zhulan is speechless. The emperor must have set his eyes on the house a long time ago, so the imperial decree clothes are ready. He really has calculated people to the core. No wonder the emperor was able to stabilize the government quickly after he became emperor. With this plan, she sympathizes with the princes.

Li's hand was eager to touch the imperial husband several times. Zhulan saw Xiaopang's hand reaching out and then retracting with a smile in her eyes, "If you want to touch it, touch it."

Li's hands quickly touched it, "Mom, this is the imperial robe, so gorgeous and beautiful."

The most beautiful dress she had seen so far.

Zhulan also thought it was beautiful, but the clothes were too complicated and could only be worn when entering the palace. Zhulan was stunned. Yes, she could enter the palace because she had the imperial edict. Her knees!

Li didn't dare to touch her any more and withdrew her hand in surprise, "I will never have the chance again in this lifetime."

Boss Zhou, "........"

The daughter-in-law always hurts his heart!

Zhulan laughed, "You still have a chance. The imperial decree does not only confer the title of wife, but also mother. You can wait for Mingyun to confer the title on you."

Li's dim eyes brightened up again, "Yes, I can still count on my son."

After saying this, he looked at the boss with some disdain in his eyes.

Boss Zhou, "........"

There is something I don’t know whether I should say this or not, but the son is also his. Without him, Li would not have been able to give birth to him on her own!

Zhou Shuren's head still hurt a little. There was nothing good about his official uniform. He had already made it clear in the court yesterday. Thinking of the content of the imperial edict, well, he said he forgot something. Oh no!

Because the imperial edict has been issued, those who announced the edict yesterday have already left the capital, and they, the Jinshi candidates of this year, only have seven days to prepare. They must set off after seven days and they are not even given time to go back and worship their ancestors!

Zhou Shuren's face, which already had some headaches, was now throbbing with pain, and his expression looked particularly ugly. Well, what a trap! Oh, yes, he drank too much yesterday, and he hadn't sorted out the names and places he remembered. The more his head hurt, the more he seemed to have forgotten some of them.

Zhou Shuren became even more upset when he saw the mess in the house. "Okay, go do whatever you need to do."

The bustling and noisy house suddenly became quiet, and everyone went about their business.

Zhulan and the others left, and she pulled Zhou Shuren over to sit down, "My head hurts."

Zhou Shuren: "Yes."

He had a lot of things to do and felt that time was running out, so he said to Zhulan, "Pack your bags. We will leave for Lizhou City in seven days."

Zhulan, "......"

The imperial edict is divided into Zhaoyue, Zhiyue and Laiyue. Zhaoyue means to announce to the world, Laiyue means to warn people, promotion and promotion are all Laiyue, which means to warn people not to be arrogant because of favor, etc.~~

Ahem, first update. Three more to go, 5:30~
