Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 713 Amnesty
Concubine You froze for an instant, her whole body froze on the steps of the royal stairs, as if she had heard something extremely shocking.

"what?!"

Chen Huang jumped up, his lazy expression disappeared instantly, his whole face became solemn, and his brows gradually tightened.

The eunuchs and maids waiting in the main hall briefly commotioned after hearing this. Then they immediately returned to their original state and stopped moving, just like wood carvings.

They, the eunuchs and maids, have been serving Emperor Chen all year round. They have long known that this god of thunder has made great contributions and won his majesty's praise...

"Report to Your Majesty..."

The eunuch outside the main hall door stumbled into the main hall, holding a bamboo tube tightly in both hands, looking very reckless.

After rushing to the middle of the hall, the eunuch raised his head and looked up. Suddenly, Emperor Chen on the imperial steps fell into his eyes.

The current Emperor Chen is like an unsheathed sword, exuding majesty.

This made the eunuch instantly realize that it was over and he had bumped into His Majesty. This was a huge sin...

"What did you just say? Say it again!"

Just when the eunuch was complaining, Chen Huang spoke up and stared at the eunuch. Chen Huang was now full of momentum.

"Your Majesty..." The eunuch came back to his senses, and the scene where Emperor Chen once praised the God of Thunder came to mind, which strengthened the eunuch's confidence, "The King of Linhai in Hangzhou sent an urgent letter eight hundred miles away, with the following sentence: Your Majesty , Shen Leihou has been found!"

The eunuch said and bowed down.

His hands and feet were shaking slightly.

This recklessness depends on the importance of the God of Thunder in Huang Chen's heart.

The eunuch was either dragged out and beaten to death with sticks, or he was rewarded, and he became prosperous from then on.

The future is uncertain, and the eunuch keeps praying in his heart, hoping that His Majesty really likes the God of Thunder...

"Bring it up!"

Huang Chen's brows twitched and his expression changed several times, but in the end, he only had this instruction.

The eunuch who was waiting at the side hurriedly ran over with the fly whisk in his arms, took the bamboo tube, and then handed it to Emperor Chen respectfully with both hands.

Chen Huang personally took it, opened the bamboo tube, and took out a letter.

At this time, Concubine You had already returned from the imperial steps and leaned over to watch together.

It was extremely quiet in the hall.

The eunuch who delivered the letter was lying on the ground, his hands and feet trembling. He didn't even dare to raise his head and look up. He could only passively accept the fate of his fate.

On the imperial steps, Emperor Chen unfolded the letter himself. Because the hall was too quiet, the soft sound of folding the letter was actually so loud.

The letter unfolded, and Emperor Chen and Concubine You looked at it from the beginning.

The eunuch who delivered the message felt that time had frozen at this moment, and at the same time he secretly regretted it, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Because he thought that things in this palace should not be taken at face value. In the past few days, although Emperor Chen had expressed his admiration for Shen Leihou countless times,...

Who knows what Chen Huang is thinking?
Anyway, Shen Leihou has disappeared and cannot be found. Emperor Chen admired a dead man and gained the reputation of a wise king... But if this person suddenly appeared, it might be another story.

Just when the eunuch was sweating profusely and thinking wildly, Emperor Chen's hearty laughter suddenly sounded in the empty hall: "Hahahaha... good, my beloved has finally returned home safely, so... great... …Ha ha ha ha……"

After hearing this, the messenger eunuch's heart finally fell to the ground, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. I wish that such a wise, loyal, and capable minister as Aiqing could be lost and found again. This is enough to prove that your majesty is destined to receive such a talented person!" Concubine You's flattery followed closely.

"Okay, okay, my concubine is right!"

Chen Huang held the letter and stood still in excitement, as if he didn't do anything to express his happiness.

Concubine You understands him.

So he smiled and suggested: "Your Majesty, it is a great good thing for me, Chen Guo, to wish Aiqing a safe return. On this occasion of great joy, Your Majesty can grant a general amnesty to the world and reduce or reduce taxes to show your Majesty's love for Zhu Aiqing." Praise for Yang!"

Chen Huang's eyes lit up and he suddenly became enlightened. He waved his hands and said, "Yes, yes, my beloved concubine is right. Why didn't I think of this?"

"Your Majesty is preoccupied with everything in the world, and it is natural that he cannot think of it for a moment. Furthermore, when he first heard that he wished your beloved a safe return, he was so excited that he naturally did not care about so much."

"What my beloved concubine said is true!"

Emperor Chen handed the letter to Concubine You, and suddenly straightened his back, raised his head and said: "I have made a decree to thank heaven for returning my beloved to me. I now issue a special order to amnesty the world, to eliminate the most heinous and unpardonable crimes." In addition, the rest of the prisoners will be released immediately. And then we will order the world’s taxes to be reduced or exempted..."

Emperor Chen Balabala said something, and the eunuch recorded it next to him, and then he formed an imperial edict and sent it out.

……at the same time.

The news that "Shen Leihou is not dead and appears in Hangzhou" has spread in the capital.

It's like throwing a huge boulder into a calm lake. In an instant, it stirs up huge waves and countless ripples.

These turbulent waves and countless ripples swept across the entire capital in the blink of an eye!
At that time, it was already Xu hour, around eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and the sky was already dark.

Ancient people went to bed early, and most people would probably be snoring loudly at this time.

But the capital city is extraordinary. This is the capital of the Chen Kingdom, and it is the most prosperous place in the world.

It is actually a "city that never sleeps".

Especially the places for people's entertainment and entertainment are really lit up all night, and there are still crowds in the middle of the night, especially in the daytime.

This kind of scene, even if compared with modern times, is probably not far behind.

The best, largest, and most prosperous recreation and recreation place in the city is naturally the Qinhuai Riverside.

Therefore, the "giant rock" that detonated the entire capital was "thrown" from here on the Qinhuai River.

In an instant, countless people rushed to tell each other on the streets along the Qinhuai River, shouting loudly to publicize the huge news on the spot.

In a short period of time, almost everyone along the Qinhuai River, from the streets to various shops, from the tourists coming and going, to the traders and pawns running around for a living, knew about it, regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young.

The great hero who "offered good strategies, went to the enemy camp in person, and drove back tens of thousands of Yan troops with his eloquent words", Zhu Xiuyuan, Shen Leihou, actually came back alive.

Returned from the sea and appeared in Hangzhou!
This is really shocking news!

Immediately afterwards, the news spread like a virus throughout the city at an extremely fast speed...

Xufu Street, Shen Leihou Mansion.

At the gate of the Hou's Mansion, a black-lacquered and gold-lettered plaque of "Shen Leihou's Mansion" hangs high.

The four words "Shen Leihou Mansion", with flying dragons and phoenixes, are handwritten by His Majesty today. In the lower left corner of the plaque, there is also the signature and seal of Emperor Chen.
