Chapter 288 The imperial edict from the heavenly master arrives!(2/2)
"Slave understands!"
Concubine Tian started cooking in full swing.
On the other side, over Kaifeng Prefecture, Chen Ye had already flown to the Kaifeng Prefecture County Government Area.
Seeing that the hatch was open and the readiness indicator light was on, Chen Ye squatted down and held a five-color imperial edict in his hand. The scroll was made of black rhinoceros horn. This is the imperial edict format of the third grade and above.
“I don’t know if the Chinese rhinoceros is extinct because too many imperial edicts were issued.”
Chen Ye looked at the scroll in his hand and said with emotion, rhinoceros horns are used for various purposes. Sichuan mahjong also has rhinoceros horns. How big is a rhinoceros horn?
Just as he was thinking about it, the opening readiness light on the plane flashed rapidly. This was an agreement made by Chongzhen and Chen Ye. As long as he clicked on the opening and closing positions continuously, the door would not open, but Chen Ye could know it.
"Yohoo! Zhang Guowei and Gao Mingheng are here!"
The cabin door opened, and Chen Ye fell directly, controlling his body in the air and trying not to hit anyone.
At the county government office of Kaifeng Prefecture, Governor Zhang Guowei and Governor Gao Mingheng were reading the newspaper that had just been delivered by Daming Prefecture. Sitting beside them was the honest Kaifeng County Magistrate.
Daming Mansion is very close to Henan, and the newspapers distributed by Daming Mansion can be delivered every two days, so they can understand the trends of the imperial court in the capital.
Over in Huguang, Yang Sichang was in dire straits. The newspapers that Yang Sichang received now were the 'latest news' provided by the Royal Merchant Company along the canal and delivered by express horse.
As he was talking, Gao Mingheng suddenly heard a rumble.
"Yu Shi, listen, is it thundering?"
"Eh? It seems so. The weather has been cloudless today. This is drought and thunder.
I'm just afraid that the drought will be more serious this year. What the hell is going on? It's getting worse every year."
"Who knows? Fortunately, all the Jiannu slaves in Liaodong have been wiped out, and the Ming Dynasty will no longer have any dangers.
Strange, why is the thunder getting louder and louder?"
"Why don't you go out and take a look? Is it going to rain?"
Listening to the increasingly clear voices, the two of them stood up strangely and walked towards the yard. The Kaifeng County Magistrate beside them was completely speechless and could only carefully serve the two big bosses who were not at their work stations and wandering around.
.
But before I could go out, I suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, and then the courtyard door was knocked open, and a government official ran in.
"Report! The governor! The governor! And the county magistrate!
A thunderous bird flew over from the sky, and dropped down an Imperial Envoy!"
"Throwing down an Imperial Envoy? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang Guowei stared with wide eyes at the government servant who ran in to report the news. He was full of disbelief in what he said.
If an imperial envoy comes, he can accept it, and if a thundering bird flies by, he can accept it, but if the big bird throws down an imperial envoy, he is still a national advisor that the Ming Dynasty has never had. How can he accept it?
"My Lord Governor, it's true! He also held the five-color imperial edict and asked you and the Governor to take the order by name!"
"It seems that I am too lenient with you on weekdays, so that you don't even understand what the rules are?
Come here, pull down the cow's egg and use dung water to wake him up first!"
"Pingzhong, why don't we go and see first what makes them talk such nonsense."
The yamen officer who came in was an old yamen officer, so the governor Gao Mingheng felt embarrassed for saying such nonsense and wanted someone to take him away first.
After Zhang Guowei persuaded him, he temporarily suppressed his anger and asked the yamen servant to take him to see what was going on.
On a street more than twenty meters away from the county government office, Chen Ye, who was trying his best to control himself and fly to the vicinity of the county government office accurately, was surrounded by more than a dozen government officials.
As the seat of the governor of Henan, Kaifeng has the largest number of government officials among all the counties in Henan.
Although there are less than ten officials in the entire county government, there are hundreds of officials responsible for participating in corvee service, carrying sedan chairs, serving as yamen servants, and serving as slaves.
Kaifeng also has the Five Cities Military and Horse Department and other positions, which can be said to have all the functions of the six ministries. It is such a big city that can withstand Li Zicheng's attacks again and again.
As soon as the drone flew over Kaifeng, the people, government officials, and guards below saw it. After all, the drone flying at low altitude was very obvious when it passed overhead.
Then, the way Chen Ye came down was very impressive, so he was watched by the people and government officials.
The government officials who came to be on guard and the people who were watching did not dare to approach him, for fear that this man who could not fall to death might have some evil tricks.
There was a stalemate, and after Chen Ye, who was holding the imperial edict, took the initiative to reveal his identity, the yamen officer said that Zhang Guowei and the others were at the county yamen, waiting to be informed.
After Zhang Guowei followed over, he looked at Chen Ye, who was dressed in casual clothes, without any impression.
He was too young. In his opinion, Chen Ye's image did not look like someone who could be a national advisor at all, even though the Ming Dynasty had never had an official national advisor position.
He and Gao Mingheng didn't know Chen Ye because Chen Ye hadn't even arrived in the Ming Dynasty when they were sent here.
However, they knew Chen Ye's other identity, the 'shop owner' very well.
After the people around and the two second-rank officials, Xiao Xiaoxian finished talking about Chen Ye's appearance, Zhang Guowei and the others knew that the big bird must be the aircraft described in the newspaper that could carry people in the Chongzhen military parade picture.
And this person should not be a fake courier. The Ming Dynasty has never heard of anyone else having that plane.
"Who are Zhang Guowei and Zhang Yuji, the governors of Henan? And Gao Mingheng and Gao Pingzhong, the governors of Henan?"
"My official is Zhang Guowei, who are you? Why don't you deliver the imperial edict in accordance with the court regulations? Why are you not injured even though you fell from the sky?"
The regulations Zhang Guowei mentioned here actually meant that he was informed in advance that the imperial edict had entered the city, and he was not notified until he arrived at the county government office. He was unprepared, which was tantamount to breaking the rules.
"Governor Zhang, my identity is the first Imperial Counselor of the Ming Dynasty. This is my identity introduction tablet. It contains the appointment given to me by His Majesty and the Cabinet Committee. You can confirm it after reading it.
As for how I came here, of course I came from the sky by plane. You should have received the newspaper to know what the plane was. I came down using a special airborne method, so I can’t tell you."
Chen Ye asked a government official to hand the tablet to Zhang Guowei and Gao Mingheng, indicate to them how to click on the lock screen password, and then click on the Chinese character and numeric lock screen password.
As the screen lock opened, the video paused on the lock screen began to play, and a scene of Chongzhen introducing Chen Ye to the cabinet members appeared.
"Ouch, what is this thing, and why is it still glowing?"
"Don't move! This is His Majesty's appearance. Why is Your Majesty in this small box?"
Gao Mingheng and Zhang Guowei both met Chongzhen in the capital, so when they looked at Chongzhen in the video, their hands shook subconsciously, but they did not dare to throw the tablet out.
After all, the information introduced in newspapers is limited. Many times, concepts such as movies and radio stations are flashed across, but they still don’t know what they are, let alone tablets.
After playing the video again, although the two of them were a little surprised that the tablet could record human voices, they had no doubts about Chen Ye's identity.
The main thing is the way he appears on a plane, which cannot be imitated or learned by others.
"Hu County Cheng, ask everyone around to step back!
Imperial Master, the people below have never read newspapers and do not understand that airplanes can carry people. They are very offensive. I hope you will forgive me."
"It doesn't matter, Zhang Guowei, Gao Mingheng, the imperial edict has arrived, please accept it!"
"National Preceptor, do you think you would like us to prepare a little before receiving the order?"
"No need, this imperial decree is meant to be read in public.
The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, and he says, I am deeply..."
The main content of the imperial edict was to exaggerate the national defense. Gao Mingheng defended Kaifeng in February, leaving Li Zicheng to turn to the south and attack.
Then he scolded them for why there were no organized and effective counter-insurgency measures, why the number of refugees and epidemics increased.
"I am aware of the difficulties in preventing and controlling epidemic diseases in Henan. The prolonged drought has made it difficult for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, so I have specially allocated internal funds to support the people of Henan.
Under the guidance of the Imperial Guard, planes airdropped supplies. I invested two hundred thousand taels of silver and one hundred thousand dan of grain for disaster relief in Henan.
Your Majesty, you must carefully distinguish between disaster victims and rich peasants. Do not provide relief to the rich peasants, and do not leave out the victims! We must help when needed and punish when punished!
You also want to tell the people of Henan that I have not forgotten them! The Ming Dynasty has not forgotten them! My relief money and food are here!
At the same time, the Royal Army will dispatch a regiment of special operations soldiers to cooperate in exterminating the rebels and returning the people's livelihood as soon as possible.
If any group dares to block disaster relief, hoard goods and raise prices, embezzle disaster relief materials, or engage in mutiny, they are making an enemy of the Ming Dynasty court and the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they are not giving the people of the Ming Dynasty a way to survive!
Such acts are uniformly regarded as rebellion, and the Royal Army will be merciless and attack any rebels with thunderous force.
Zhang Yuji and Gao Pingzhong, you must fulfill your duties and take charge of the prevention and control of epidemic diseases, disaster relief and people's relief, and provide relief through work.
Detailed arrangements will be explained separately by the National Defense Council. After the radio station is connected, you must communicate closely with the cabinet of the capital.
If you have benefited the people, you will definitely be appointed to the cabinet, return to the capital, be promoted, and be awarded a title.
In the 14th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, on June 26, Xin Si Ren Shen.
Emperor Chongzhen made it himself!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"The imperial court has allocated money and food! The imperial court has allocated money and food!"
It was also the first time for the government officials who were watching around to watch the issuance of the imperial edict. They did not expect to hear such exciting news.
