Chapter 10 Your master is going to Liaodong
Zhu Youxiao paced back and forth in the hall, thinking about the matter from beginning to end. Suddenly he remembered something, and immediately turned back to Chen Hong and said: "Come here!"
Chen Hong naturally did not dare to neglect, and quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, my servant is here!"
After looking Chen Hong up and down, Zhu Youxiao said: "After the cabinet drafts the decree, you take people to Xiong Tingbi's hometown to announce the decree. Then give the title book to Xiong Tingbi and let him take a look.
"As he said this, Zhu Youxiao gave Yuan Yingtai's question book to Chen Hong. Zhu Youxiao believed that Xiong Tingbi would understand it just by looking at this question book.
Originally, this question book could be left to others, but Zhu Youxiao was worried, and the only person who could make him feel relieved was a personal eunuch like Chen Hong.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will rush over quickly." Chen Hong quickly agreed with a serious look on his face.
In fact, it is unreasonable to ask Chen Hong to deliver the edict, because there are two types of imperial edicts, one is the imperial edict and the other is the central edict. The so-called imperial edict is the emperor’s order, the cabinet’s draft edict, and finally the emperor’s jade seal.
The imperial edict is called the imperial edict. The central edict is the imperial edict issued privately by the emperor. Its authority is not that great, and civil servants may even refuse to accept the edict.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, this is the privilege given to them by civil servants. Anyway, they just find various reasons to make themselves different and enjoy privileges.
The eunuch passed the imperial edict, but the imperial edict was passed by officials. Xiong Tingbi's appointment was naturally an imperial edict, so Chen Hong could follow him, but he could not pass the imperial edict. Of course, Zhu Youxiao would not let Chen Hong pass it on.
According to the imperial edict, he only needs to send Yuan Yingtai's inscription to Xiong Tingbi.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao can also issue a central edict, but the civil servants have already thought of it. If anyone accepts the edict, and this edict is opposed by the cabinet, then you have no integrity and no bottom line.
, all official character and character will be attacked and condemned at various levels, and it is impossible to make any move in the officialdom.
Civil officials tried every means to limit the emperor's power while seizing power for themselves. The struggle between eunuchs and civil servants in the Ming Dynasty always reflected the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power, or the struggle between imperial power and the scholar-bureaucrat group.
Chen Hong left and the imperial edict was issued, but the matter was far from over, because everyone in the court felt that this matter was inexplicable. Why did it suddenly appear in a dream? Why was Yuan Yingtai replaced in the dream?
, because a dream behaves like this? Of course, it is not possible to attack like this, but it is possible to attack the person who interprets the dream.
For a time, the government and the public were in an uproar. Countless impeachment papers entered the palace, and there were also a lot of people admonishing Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao ignored them all and allowed them to make noise.
Jiangxia, Hubei, here is Jiangxia District in later generations, affiliated to Wuhan City, Hubei Province, located in the south of Wuhan City, connected to Hongshan District to the north, bordering Xian'an District and Jiayu County of Xianning City to the south, and Ezhou City and Daye City to the east.
It faces Caidian District and Hannan District across the river in the west. In the Ming Dynasty, this place was not famous, even very ordinary. It was a quiet and peaceful county.
However, the tranquility of Jiangxia was broken on this day. A group of Jinyi guards entered Jiangxia City with murderous intent and escorted two carriages to the gate of Xiong Tingbi's Xiong Mansion.
Since resigning and returning home, Xiong Tingbi has never been at peace. Although his family has been by his side these days and there is no need for him to lick blood from the knife edge, for some reason, his heart is always empty. Xiong Tingbi has a bad temper.
He is fiery and has a strong nature. Naturally, he gets angry intermittently at home these days. He is really depressed, mainly because he is unwilling to do so.
While he was drinking the heat-clearing tea brought by his wife, Xiong Tingbi became more and more angry as he drank. When will this shit end?
"Master, there are Jin Yiwei coming outside." An old housekeeper quickly ran to Xiong Tingbi's side and said breathlessly.
After hearing what the old man said, Xiong Tingbi was stunned. He didn't expect that someone from the Jin Yiwei would come to his house at this time. Could it be that there was another trouble? But it wasn't right! He didn't do anything!
It's no wonder that Xiong Tingbi thinks too much. When the Jin Yiwei appears, nothing good happens. However, Xiong Tingbi is not too surprised. Maybe he was liquidated by some people in the court for an excuse.
After a long while, Xiong Tingbi asked the butler behind him: "Where is he?"
"Sir, it's in the front hall," the old housekeeper replied.
Leaving the garden quickly, Xiong Tingbi didn't know who was coming, but since it was a Jin Yiwei, he definitely couldn't hide if he wanted to.
Xiong Tingbi came to the living room and saw Chen Hong. At the same time, there was an official who was delivering the order waiting there with an anxious face. This made Xiong Tingbi stunned. Before he could react, the official who was delivering the order had already started: "Xiong Tingbi
Take the order!"
Hearing these words, Xiong Tingbi's body trembled violently, and then he lifted his clothes and knelt down, shouting: "Xiong Tingbi, a common man, accept the order!" Several servants behind him also knelt down to listen to the order.
Taking out the imperial edict from his sleeve, the edict officer said loudly: "The emperor is entrusted by heaven, and the system says: Xiong Tingbi, with loyal and pure aspirations, with both civil and military permission, the country has a strong city. Today, Liaodong is in dire straits, and construction and captivity are rampant. I
Unable to bear the confinement of a loyal and virtuous minister at home, I decided to appoint Xiong Tingbi as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War and Zuo Qiandu Censor of the Imperial Procuratorate. He was given the royal order and ordered to manage all important military affairs in Liaodong. I hope you will fulfill your duties faithfully.
If you live up to my expectations, I give you this gift!"
Listening to the edict announced by the edict officer, Xiong Tingbi was completely confused, as he actually used his own edict.
"Master Xiong, accept the order! Don't you?" The messenger did not continue, but the meaning was clearly expressed. Do you dare not to accept the order?
Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi came back to his senses, kowtowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Xiong Tingbi, accepts the order and expresses gratitude!"
The official who delivered the edict entrusted the imperial edict to Xiong Tingbi, then turned around and left, because he knew that Chen Hong still had something to say to Xiong Tingbi, but he was not suitable to listen to it.
When the official who delivered the order left, Xiong Tingbi quickly raised his hands and said, "Don't know how to address me, father-in-law?"
"Master Xiong, you are welcome, our Chen Hong!" Chen Hong said with a smile, and then took out a question book and handed it to Xiong Tingbi: "Master Xiong, your Majesty asked our family to give this to you. The things have been delivered, we
We don’t have much left at home. However, we would like to remind Mr. Xiong that Liaodong has high mountains and long rivers, so Mr. Xiong had better leave as soon as possible.”
Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Chen, for reminding me."
Chen Hong and the officials who conveyed the order came and went in a hurry, which made Xiong Tingbi confused. After unfolding the question book and reading it again, Xiong Tingbi's expression changed and he cursed Yuan Yingtai as a fool. Now he finally understood why His Majesty
I want to use myself, and I understand why His Majesty gave me this question book. His Majesty is dissatisfied with Yuan Yingtai, and at the same time hopes that I can put things right as soon as possible.
