Chapter 217: The East Palace expresses its stance, three edicts, the curtain is about to fall?(1/3)
An edict from the East Palace.
Just this sentence.
This calmed down the tense atmosphere in Fusi, Beizhen.
Song Huan and Ao Jing looked stern, each shaking Qilin Buzi's commander's robe.
Walk out of the lobby respectfully, bow your head and listen quietly.
Xu Hao, the minister of the Ministry of War, the two chiefs of the Ministry of Punishment, the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Military and Horses, as well as the Cheng of Dali Temple and others.
He also quickly put away his original anger and shock, and began to arrange his official hat and robe to avoid losing his appearance.
Then he folded his hands, bowed and saluted, and waited for the official of the East Palace to announce the decree.
Today, above the imperial court, although there are many hills, there are turbulent undercurrents.
The Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, the cabinet and border customs, the Ministry of Revenue and local governments, grain transshipment, salt and iron taxes...
The relationship between all parties is intricate and complex, like a mess.
However, during the twenty years that the prince supervised the country, he always maintained a balance between left and right, divided and conquered, and maintained the overall situation unchanged.
At the same time, he has repeatedly promoted ambitious young heroes to fill local vacancies in Fuzhou.
Assemble authority quietly, implement it slowly, and ensure smooth implementation of government orders.
Originally, the saint set up the Nine Borders and fought for years, causing huge losses.
As well as the great loss of vitality caused by the Jing Dynasty's horses trampling the rivers and lakes, destroying mountains and cutting down temples.
Surprisingly, in just over ten years, he was able to recuperate and recover.
This shows the prince’s power and tactics.
Therefore, outside the court.
In addition to the several vassal kings who were separatist in the prefecture, plus the Conglong heroes who followed the saint to conquer the world, and the princes and princes.
All the civil and military officials below him bow their heads to the East Palace, and they will never show any slightest sign of neglect.
"There is a decree in the East Palace. My lords, should you finish the fight and then take the fight, or finish the fight and then fight?"
The young, blue-robed eunuch with a fair face and no beard smiled softly and asked in a good voice.
He held a black rhinoceros horn shaft in both hands, a golden edict with auspicious clouds, auspicious cranes and brocade, and was followed by six Forbidden Army soldiers with a cold aura.
"Horned dragon armor! Forbidden in the palace! It's Yuan Wuwei!"
Xu Yan, the Minister of War, felt his heart skip a beat.
The saint no longer comes to court and is handed over to the prince to supervise the country.
It is not just as simple as entrusting a seal, issuing an imperial edict, and appointing cabinet assistants.
For example, the power to mobilize the imperial army and replace internal officials was also given away.
This matter has aroused heated private discussions, causing many ministers to speculate.
The prince is in charge of the country, if he really has a different intention.
Use the imperial troops as private soldiers and the internal officials as eyes and ears.
It is easy to commit treason and treason.
It can be said that the saints and princes of all dynasties.
There has never been such a situation where father and son do not trust each other, and monarch and minister do not fear each other.
This frustrated some officials who tried to support other vassal kings and Conglong.
"The internal officials were joking, Commander Ao just had a quarrel with Shilang Xu.
We all have straightforward personalities, so how can we have an overnight feud?"
Song Huan came out to smooth things over and said with a smile.
"Our family thinks so too, you are the pillars of the country.
If we serve as officials in the same dynasty, don't hurt your harmony."
The eunuch in blue robe is the servant of the East Palace.
He has a humble and powerful position and can speak in front of the prince.
Looking at the officials, they are all of the third and fourth grades, and they are not willing to offend casually.
"I dare to ask, Lord Internal Official, whether this decree was passed to Heilongtai, or..."
Ao Jing gathered his blood, his face sank like a Maitreya Buddha, and he asked lightly.
He was quite worried about the attitude of the East Palace. Frankly speaking, Duke Liang also belonged to the prince's party and had always been at odds with King Yan.
Even though His Highness admired Ji Yuan quite a lot, he even expressed his intention to entrust him with important tasks.
However, compared to the prestigious Duke of Guo, who is in charge of the three armies, the hundred households of the sixth rank of Fusi in Beizhen actually pale in comparison.
"Well, His Royal Highness the Prince spent the whole night approving the memorials last night, and he got up before he could sleep for half an hour.
For this matter of Beizhen Fusi, three decrees were made in succession.
After taking some soothing pills, I couldn’t calm down.
It makes our family even feel distressed, and we only regret that we can’t share our master’s worries.”
The blue-robed official sighed softly and said calmly:
"Those three decrees, one is for the two commanders of Heilongtai, one is for Sanfa Si, and one... is on the way out of the city.
Since Mr. Xu from the Ministry of War, and Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zheng from the Ministry of Punishment... you are all here.
Let’s just listen to the order together and save our family another trip.”
Xu Yan's eyelids twitched suddenly.
There are many thoughts in my mind.
The East Palace issued three edicts in one day?
Is His Royal Highness the Prince angry?
According to what the chamberlain said.
The last edict.
Hurry out of the city and send them off?
It must have been presented to Duke Liang who came to Beijing.
But I don’t know what the prince is going to do this time?
Nineteen years ago, Zong Pingnan, on the surface, was an unknown person trying to offend the government, but in reality, it was a dispute between Confucian civil servants and generals.
At that time, in order to suppress the domineering arrogance of the border warriors.
A pavilion elder personally came forward to protect Zong Pingnan.
The three guardsmen made a fuss, beating drums and shouting gold for several days in great force.
In the end, the prince made peace, and both parties took a step back.
Zong Pingnan was deprived of the top prize in martial arts and was sent to Zhaoyao Mountain to be a pawn.
The Duke's Office will no longer pursue the case and will let it go.
Looking back on the past, isn’t this moment just like that moment?
"How can the weight of Liaodong's mud legs be compared to that of the Duke of the country?
Of the three edicts, one must be to reprimand Heilongtai, the second is to order the Three Laws Division to conduct a strict investigation, and the third is to appease Duke Liang."
Xu Yan's eyes flashed and he breathed a sigh of relief.
If Dong Gong maintains this attitude, then he will be the first to be a pawn of the Duke's Mansion.
It means you are right.
Jiang Shangshu cannot be blamed.
Perhaps the Duke of Guo will summon him after he comes to Beijing.
It’s easy to look familiar and establish a relationship.
"My lords, please accept the order."
The blue-robed eunuch cleared his throat, opened the edict in front of everyone, and solemnly said:
"It's God's destiny, the prince said."
Hearing the first eight words, Xu Yan's eyes flashed with joy.
Because whether it is a saint's edict or a prince's edict, there are strict regulations.
If it is "Edict", it means to inform the world, and it will only be used for major political affairs.
To be continued...
