Chapter 1026 Imperial Edict

The next day, the news about Gu Qingyue's speech at the banquet spread throughout Tianlang City, and she was welcomed and loved by many people at the bottom of society. It was a happy thing to have such a woman to protect them.

But in stark contrast to the views of the bottom, officials of all sizes avoided Gu Qingyue, as if they saw a plague god. After offending Marshal Zhang Tianwen, did she still want to stay in Tianlang City? It was unlikely. At this time, being involved with this crazy woman would be a disaster.

The old acquaintances of the Gu family who had sent letters before were all nobles. Even if they were in decline, their ancestors had been rich and had a thousand connections in the court.

After learning about this, they also distanced themselves from Gu Qingyue in the next few days and avoided her.

So, what the bottom likes may not be welcomed by the top, and this is true for people, policies and regulations.

Similarly, some things that the bottom does not like are extremely popular in the top, because their promotion does not depend on the bottom, but on the top.

What's so worthy of attention about the thoughts of a bunch of people? At most, the relevant departments will take the blame in the future.

In fact, along with the alienation, there are also rumors that Gu Qingyue's innocence was ruined by someone, and she was embarrassed to marry into the Marshal's Mansion, worried about being driven out. This statement is the most widely circulated and has been the most widely recognized.

Gradually, even at the bottom, people's eyes on Gu Qingyue have changed.

The masses are blind and backward. Their demands are divided and diverse. It is difficult to have a unified point of view. There must be a vanguard to lead them.

The masses hope that perfect people will appear, but where are such people? Once someone has a stain, they are used as a gun and whipped. They are sold out without knowing it, and they think they are doing the right thing and "upholding justice."

Even if Wu Yi stays at home, he has heard all kinds of statements. This blow is really vigorous and resolute. Even Zhang Tianwen or the Zhang Mansion does not need to take action personally. There are people who want to cling to them as thugs and hangers-on.

Wu Yi tried not to participate. If someone forced him to take sides, he would just muddle through. He stayed at home and didn't go out. Gu Qingyue's straightforward words relieved Wu Yi's pressure.

Three days later, a bright and beautiful team appeared outside Tianlang City. There were about a hundred people, all of them were strong and muscular. In terms of eliteness, they were not inferior to Zhang Tianwen's personal soldiers.

The leader was quite strong and vigorous, but his face was white and he had no beard under his chin. Compared with the soldiers, he was too white.

This was a eunuch, a eunuch from the palace. The robes on his body could reflect his identity.

Do you think eunuchs are all so thin and weak? Too stupid. There are many kinds of eunuchs. How can an eunuch who travels thousands of miles to convey an imperial edict not have some physical strength?

The eunuch holding the imperial edict in his hand was not an ordinary eunuch. He represented the emperor's will and was an imperial envoy. Even Zhang Tianwen, after hearing the news, dressed up and went out to greet him. As for the others, they arrived early and knelt together.

Unlike the banquet where Wu Yi was able to sit next to Zhang Tianwen, this time, Wu Yi could not even see the shadow of the imperial envoy. He was stopped by officials of all sizes. It was really realistic. After using him and testing him, if he was not useful to me, I would kick him away.

Not far from Wu Yi was Gu Qingyue, who had a calm face and looked calm. The storm of public opinion in the past few days did not seem to affect her, but it was more likely that she chose to cry in the middle of the night.

In the adult world, after crying at night, you wipe away your tears during the day and pretend that nothing happened.

Everyone rejected Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue, but this time, Zhang Tianwen shot himself in the foot. In any case, Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue were both heroes who defended Tianlang City alone.

In order to highlight his own merits, Zhang Tianwen wrote about it in great detail in the memorial, which actually attracted the emperor's attention. He said that he wanted to see Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue.

Zhang Tianwen needed to publicize the meritorious officials who defended the city, and the king of a country also needed to do so.

Therefore, this imperial edict was not only for Zhang Tianwen, but also for Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue.

When the imperial envoy asked where Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue were, the scene was silent for a moment. While everyone was jealous of Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue's good luck, they spontaneously made way for Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue to come forward. No matter how big Zhang Tianwen's face was, it was not as good as your majesty.

The imperial envoy was inside the palace walls, and the intrigues inside involved the court and the people of the nine states, which were more complicated and diverse. He had to think about every word he said several times.

So when he saw this scene, even if he was just a newcomer and didn't know the reason, he roughly guessed that these two might have offended Marshal Zhang Tianwen, and smiled, as if he didn't know.

This matter has nothing to do with him. Just do your job well. If His Majesty wants to see these two, then take them. If anyone wants to stop him, then -

The imperial envoy narrowed his eyes and flashed a cold light. He has been with His Majesty for a long time and understands that the only person he needs to be loyal to is the one sitting on the dragon throne. He doesn't need to care about others.

Zhang Tianwen also saw the imperial envoy's eyes. The two of them understood each other. They were both old hands in the officialdom. They knew it well and would not cause trouble to each other. They smiled and passed it by.

Passing through the dense crowd, Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue came to the side of the imperial envoy, saluted and received the order, etc., smoothly without any mistakes.

"Marshal Zhang, look, the emperor is waiting! I am also waiting to report back. If you two have important matters to attend to, please postpone it for a while!" Although it was a request, because he was carrying the emperor's will, there was no possibility of refusing.

Zhang Tianwen smiled and said: "Of course, I dare not delay the imperial envoy's work. The lunch has been prepared. Please stop for a while! So that I can do my best to be a good host!"

The soldiers behind the eunuch were ready to dismount. They traveled thousands of miles to escort the imperial edict, and they often received a lot of rewards, so they all thought it was a good job and scrambled for it.

However, this time, these soldiers were disappointed. The imperial envoy said: "Thank you for your kindness, Marshal, but the sky is still bright now. If we gallop, we can find a nearby village to rest. I won't stay any longer."

"Is that so!" Zhang Tianwen replied with a smile, not looking angry at all.

He understood that the current situation of Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue had made the imperial envoy suspicious, and he was worried that he would take advantage of the last chance to kill the two, so he did not stop at all. Ridiculous, was he such a petty person?
