Wang Man suddenly felt very sad, her eyes gazing affectionately, tears unexpectedly appearing. She didn't know what to do.
A voice calling her from inside the house was heard; she hurriedly wiped her tears and went inside.
That night was particularly quiet and comfortable, with a gentle breeze blowing. Accompanied by beauty, Qin Feng felt extremely satisfied.
At that moment, lying in bed with his wife, he listened to her delicate breathing while taking care of her.
Primary Wife Xi Yue was well taken care of; the two women shared the same bed, making some things more convenient.
The next morning, just as dawn broke, there was a loud knocking at the door from outside.
Qin Feng was abruptly awakened by the noise, sensing an inexplicable intuition that something significant must have happened. No ordinary person would knock so forcefully at such an early hour!
Xiao Xiao was also awakened, her charming big eyes opening wide in panic.
She said, "Husband, what's happening outside? Who is knocking so hard? I'm a bit worried."
Qin Feng felt worried too. Who could it be? Could it be someone from the court?
He looked at his wife Xiao Xiao with great reluctance, feeling a deep sense of unwillingness inside.
"Xiao Xiao, don't be afraid. You're pregnant and it's inconvenient for you to get out of bed. Just rest here; I'll go check and be back soon."
He put on his clothes and walked towards the door, pushing it open.
Xiao Xiao, gentle and charming, looked deeply at him and said, "Husband, my heart!"
Qin Feng quickly walked over. The door had not yet been opened, and the wooden bolt was still in place, but it was shaking violently from the impact.
Afu and several servants stood there, holding wooden sticks, looking panicked.
Seeing him approach, they shouted, "Good morning, sir! Soldiers have come outside, looking fierce. We don't know why!"
The wooden door was still being pounded violently, as if bandits were trying to break it down, causing unrest!
They shouted, "Open the door quickly! If you don't open it soon, we will break it down! We are the Imperial Guard."
Qin Feng peered through the narrow crack in the door and saw several people in black armor, similar in appearance to the Imperial Guards.
He said, "Who are you? Do you have any sense of courtesy? Coming to knock on the door so early in the morning, can't you let people sleep?"
The loud knocking outside suddenly stopped, and a man's booming voice came through.
"Lord Qin Feng, we have urgent matters. We are the Imperial Guards of Tokyo City. Please open the door quickly and let us in! There are some things that are inconvenient to discuss outside."
Afu and the servants were waiting for Qin Feng's response and did not take any action.
Qin Feng looked at them with confusion; these Imperial Guards seemed unfamiliar! He wondered if they were sent by his political enemies to harm him.
The demeanor was too rough, and the killing intent was strong; one had to be on guard!
"Speak your mind. I see you are unfamiliar faces; how come I haven't seen you in Tokyo City? You must be from outside!"
The man dressed in Black Armor seemed to be the commander of these individuals. His expression was serious, and his face twitched slightly.
He took something from the hand of a person next to him; it was golden and slowly opened up, revealing a golden imperial edict with the words "Imperial Edict" prominently displayed on it.
Qin Feng looked on in surprise. Could they be the Imperial Guards by the Emperor's side? Seeing the unfamiliar faces, the edict must be genuine; no one would dare to forge it!
The commander of the Imperial Guards smiled, but he was much more respectful now, lacking the earlier rudeness.
He said, "Qin Sir, we truly are the Imperial Guards of Tokyo City, the bodyguards of the Emperor. This is the imperial edict; you should recognize it. Some matters are better addressed in person."
Qin Feng felt a bit flustered, his calm heart stirred with waves, realizing that something significant was indeed happening.
He signaled to Afu, and several Servants hurriedly opened the door and stepped aside.
A few Imperial Guards dressed in Black Armor and wearing Black Hooded Helmets entered.
The commander appeared imposing, while several subordinates stood respectfully beside him.
He said, "The Emperor's imperial edict has arrived; Qin Sir, kneel to receive the edict!"
Qin Feng could only immediately bend down and kneel on the ground to receive the decree.
The servants also knelt down, panicking as they hurried to accept the decree.
Qin Feng's father also arrived here, hearing that the imperial decree had come, he bent down his old back and knelt down.
Reading the imperial decree is very important; seeing the decree is like seeing the emperor, so of course one must kneel and pay respects.
The commander of the Imperial Guards became serious and began to read the decree.
"The Emperor proclaims: Deputy Commander of the Cavalry Qin Feng is not permitted to resign. It has been confirmed that Cavalry Commander Wu Neng will be dismissed and investigated. Qin Feng is ordered to return to the capital immediately to assist in handling military and political affairs."
"The Song State is in a difficult situation both internally and externally; this is a crucial time for employing people. Qin Feng must return to his post, and those who disobey will face severe punishment."
His eyes turned towards Qin Feng, carrying a hint of a smile and a respectful demeanor.
He continued, "Qin Sir, please accept the decree! The court is in urgent need of capable individuals; we cannot do without you. His Majesty misses you greatly and has commanded us to bring you back to the capital!"
Voices of gratitude echoed, shouting, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"
Qin Feng slowly stood up but remained in place, showing no intention of accepting the imperial decree.
The old man's words were not wrong; the court truly sent someone here. Just after returning to Jian Kang, they had pursued him day and night.
The emperor's decree has arrived, commanding him to return to the capital immediately to assist in handling military and political affairs.
But does he really have to go back? The emperor did not listen to his opinions and has already abandoned him. Now that he remembers him, he wants him to return; isn't that too disrespectful?
The court is still dominated by the Peace Faction, with Wu Min and Geng Nanzhong causing chaos. The situation is unstable between war and peace, and his presence would not make much difference.
He has a strong intuition that the Great Song is on the verge of collapse; it's just a matter of time before it happens.
Returning now might just lead to his demise alongside the Northern Song. He does not want to die a mediocre death; he still has an elderly family to care for!
The Personal Guard Commander noticed that Qin Feng did not immediately accept the decree, seemingly startled. He hurried over to present it to him.
It is understandable to be startled; he had just arrived at Jian Kang's hometown when the Imperial Guards came knocking at his door.
In the morning, he went to Qin Sir's old residence only to find no one home. Upon inquiry, he learned they had moved to a new house and rushed over here.
He forcefully shoved the decree into Qin Feng's hands, but Qin Feng refused to take it, showing clear signs of resistance. The commander's eyes glinted with ferocity, ready to act at any moment.
Seeing Qin Feng's demeanor, his father understood that he was dissatisfied. How could a man’s bloodlust become so intense that he would dare resist even a decree? Such defiance could lead to his entire family being executed.
Quickly stepping forward, he took the decree from the commander's hand and shoved it into Qin Feng's grasp while giving him a couple of knowing glances, urging him to accept it.
Though reluctant, Qin Feng had no choice but to take the decree.
In ancient times, the emperor was the ultimate ruler, capable of controlling everything, including people and affairs, and no one could resist.
But I am different; I come from the future, a society of peace and equality that pursues freedom and fairness, rather than being treated like a dog, summoned at will and discarded at whim!
I have become utterly disillusioned with the current emperor and do not wish to assist him. I only want to be an ordinary person, waiting for the arrival of a prosperous era.
I feel powerless to turn back; the situation has already deteriorated. With most of the bureaucrats in the court unwilling to resign from their positions, it is difficult to change the course of events!
The Old Man was exceptionally pleased; it was not beyond his expectations that the court had indeed sent someone. The emperor still valued his son, and he would surely rise to greatness in the future!
In ancient times, only those with exceptional talents would voluntarily resign from their official positions to return home or retire. The emperor would then send someone to invite them back; ordinary people were simply overlooked.
With a discerning gaze, he carefully observed his son and noticed that he still appeared deep in thought, which startled him.
He pushed him a few times forcefully, urging him to wake up quickly; something significant was about to happen.
Qin Feng was jolted out of his thoughts by the forceful nudges and looked at the people beside him, regaining his clarity.
