"Pff…" Meng Pei almost spat out a mouthful of tea when he heard this.
He looked up in surprise, "Read the Imperial Decree?"
"Yes." Tang Wenqian stood up, his expression solemn as he began to speak, "Meng Pei, Meng Yunzheng, Lu Shuyu, receive the decree."
Meng Pei jolted and quickly knelt down, followed by Meng Yunzheng and Shuyu, and the others present also knelt down.
Only then did Tang Wenqian take a decree out of the box held by his attendant behind him. Meng Pei and the others had noticed the box from the beginning, originally thinking it was a New Year's gift from Tang Wenqian.
Though strange why the box had not been put down, they did not ask further.
Unexpectedly, it actually contained an Imperial Decree?
"By the command of the Emperor: Chaos in Chenggu County deeply troubles the people, and they are caught in dire straits. I am deeply concerned, fortunately the Meng family has a son…"
The Emperor's decree fully affirmed the contributions of Meng Yunzheng and Shuyu.
