Chapter 132 - Imperial Decree

On the night of May 17th, Zhao Chen did not sleep at all for the entire night, and continued to cultivate and meditate.

When the sky started to brighten, Zhao Chen walked out of his room!

"His Majesty woke up so early?" Lin Bao said with a charming smile.

"I want to think of something!" Zhao Chen said indifferently.

He stood at the top of the stairs, quietly watching the red sun rise. In his heart, he had sorted out everything that had happened in the past few days! At the same time, he carefully thought about what was going to happen on the day of the wedding and confirmed that nothing would go wrong! It was only then that his expression gradually turned from serious to relaxed!

"What was Your Majesty thinking just now?" Lin Bao followed behind Zhao Chen and asked.

"I'm thinking about how I'll reward you after the wedding!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"I wonder if Your Majesty has thought of a way to bestow this servant with rewards?" Lin Bao hurriedly asked.

"Whichever status Tong, Yang Jian, and Liang Shicheng have achieved, I will give you!" Zhao Chen laughed.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Your servant thanks Your Majesty! " Lin Bao was ecstatic, he anxiously knelt down, and kowtowed to Zhao Chen!

"All three eunuchs will die in the end..." As a eunuch, I will give you the same path of return! " Zhao Chen looked at Lin Bao with ridiculing eyes, and thought in his heart.

He had been patient for a long time! Not only was he patient with Zhe Keqiu, with the officials of the imperial court, but he was also patient with Lin Bao! He never dared to show his true feelings in front of Lin Bao! It was because of Lin Bao's constant surveillance that he had no choice but to hide inside the palace as a carpenter! In the past half year, he had almost given up on reading. Even if he was to read, he would only read Dao books! He had to practice martial arts every day before, but now he only occasionally! All of these were to numb Lin Bao who was monitoring him, and to let Lin Bao tell all of these to Zhe Keqiu!

Now, he didn't need much patience!

But today, he still had to act the same as usual!

Thus, after eating breakfast, Zhao Chen continued to be a "carpenter" in the palace.

Seeing Zhao Chen like that, Lin Bao's face revealed a satisfied smile! He waited on the side, not even mentioning that!

When noon arrived, Zhao Chen had just stopped working. Lin Bao walked in and said, "Your Majesty,, Wei Ming, and Xue Rui, the three great families request an audience!"

Zhao Chen asked: What are they doing here?

Lin Bao said, "It seems to be related to the wedding!"

Zhao Chen said somewhat impatiently: "Let them in!"

After a while, Han Ping, Wei Ming and Xue Rui entered the Dry Clear Palace!

Seeing that the Dry Clear Palace was covered in sawdust, the three of them showed looks of despise!

"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it! If you have nothing to do, then hurry up and leave! I'm busy right now, I don't have time to chat with you guys! " Zhao Chen waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, it will be your wedding the next day! He needed to officially bestow the title of Queen before his wedding! On the day of our wedding, we will finally be able to bring the Queen into the palace, and not an ordinary girl without any status into the palace! Therefore, we are here to request for the bestowment of an imperial edict! " Han Ping said.

The three of them did not kneel after entering the palace! In any case, they knew that the emperor did not care about it, and in their hearts, they were not willing to kneel to Zhao Chen, the young emperor who was only twelve years old! Thus, it was as if they had forgotten that their subjects had to kneel before the emperor! The three of them did not look at Zhao Chen, and only waited for him to answer!

"This is simple! Write an imperial edict for me, and I will seal it with the Imperial Jade Seal! " Zhao Chen said.

"The imperial edict has been written. Your Majesty, have a look!" Han Ping said.

Han Ping took out an imperial edict!

Zhao Chen swept a glance over it, and without even looking at the contents, he immediately ordered Lin Bao to take out the Imperial Jade Seal and seal it with the seal.

"Your Majesty, your subjects have left!" Han Ping said.

"Hurry up and leave!" "If there's nothing else, don't bother us anymore!" Zhao Chen said.

The three of them left the palace. The sun outside was burning red, and they were in an extremely good mood!

"The Master Fold will definitely be very happy to receive this royal decree!" Han Ping said.

"This disrespectful little emperor is still working as a carpenter in the palace at a time like this! He wasn't prepared to get married the next day! From generation to generation, whenever you marry a queen, you have to sacrifice it to the ancestors. He won't do it! " Wei Ming said in disdain.

"It doesn't matter, the Master Fold just wants his daughter to become the Empress! As for whether or not the emperor offers sacrifices to the ancestors of the world, that has nothing to do with it! " Xue Rui said.

"Let's go!" Let's hurry to the Residence of Zhuo and read out the imperial edict! After the imperial edict had been read out, the final matter before the grand marriage had been completed! " Han Ping said!

Immediately, the three people left the Imperial Palace and headed towards Zhe Keqiu's residence!

When they arrived at Zhe Keqiu's residence, Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanwen,, and the others placed an incense table in front of them to receive the imperial edict.

When Han Ping finished reading the imperial edict, the three of them stood up!

"Thank you, three lords! Come on, come on in! " Zhe Keqiu laughed.

Zheyue Ru's face flushed crimson red, her heart felt both shy and happy!

Zhe Keqiu and the others had already left, while Zheyue Ru brought her servant back to her own room!

"Miss, Feng Guanxia's gown has already been prepared. Would you like to take a look?" Zheyue Ru's personal maid was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she was extremely beautiful, especially her skin which was abnormally white, which was practically on par with Zheyue Ru's!

Zheyue Ru felt embarrassed in her heart. She originally wanted to say that she didn't want to look, but in the end, she was unable to hold back and said: "Then she'll look!"

The servant girl smiled and ran outside. After a while, a few older servant girls brought the phoenix coronet and robe to Zheyue Ru's room!

This was a true 'phoenix crown', the crown that only the empress could wear! There was a dragon and phoenix on it. The dragon was made of golden silk, while the phoenix was made of kingfisher feathers. The color of the phoenix was exceptionally gorgeous! The phoenix crown was embedded with countless pearls and gems, appearing exceptionally gorgeous! The gown was bright red with a phoenix embroidered on it! The phoenix was vivid and lifelike, as if it was real!

"Miss, is this phoenix coronet beautiful?" Zheyue Ru's personal servant teased.

"It's alright!" Zheyue Ru said bashfully, but indifferently.

"Miss, would you like to take a look at the other dowry?" The maidservant said again.

"Get out!" "Don't ever come in again!" Zheyue Ru was embarrassed and angry, but the servant left with a gentle smile!

Zheyue Ru looked at the phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes. For some reason, she suddenly felt exceptionally happy! She gently closed her eyes, clasped her hands, and once again secretly prayed!

On May 19th, Hanzhong City became even more lively.

On this night, the Hanzhong City released fireworks!

There were fireworks everywhere in the palace and the mansion!

Zhao Chen stood on the stairs of Dry Clear Palace and watched the fireworks!

This was the first time he had seen fireworks since arriving in this era!

Of course, the fireworks technology of the Song Dynasty could not be compared to the future generations, but in this era, it was still inferior to something that was extremely rare! When Zhao Chen ascended the throne, because of the situation, he did not see any fireworks! It could be said that this was the first time he had seen fireworks since he came to this world!

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, a voice came out from beside Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen turned his head, and saw that it was Kang An!

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged!" Kang An said softly.

"Follow me!" Zhao Chen thought about it and said.

Immediately, Zhao Chen walked into the Dry Clear Palace. Kang An looked around to confirm that the surrounding guards were all his trusted aides, then followed Zhao Chen into the Dry Clear Palace!

"This is my list!" After entering the Dry Clear Palace, Zhao Chen took out a name list and said.

Kang An took the list, and looked at it carefully!

"Your Majesty, is this the list of the traitors that will be killed tomorrow?" Kang An said.

"No!" This is the name list of the ministers who will survive tomorrow! " Zhao Chen said indifferently.

"What!" Kang An was shocked!

There were many ministers in the court, hundreds of them! Among them, the number of positions that could participate in the morning assembly was more than 20!

And now, among these several hundred officials, only more than a dozen of Zhao Chen remained.

"Apart from these people on the list, the rest will kill everyone!" Zhao Chen said indifferently.
