Chapter 701: The decree arrives(1/2)
It was almost time for the Donglin Military Academy to arrive.
Donglin Military Academy covers a large area.
There are no buildings nearby.
On weekdays, very few people come.
There are many shops outside other schools.
But this school, called the school, is actually a large military camp.
And it is almost completely closed, and no one is even allowed to peek and stay nearby.
Zhang Yanzhi's heart was surging at this time.
He had a bit of desire in his heart.
After tonight, if the Donglin Army is controlled, then the entire capital... will be controlled.
Then, quickly contact the bandits who had arrived in the capital, and they could cooperate inside and outside, and major events could be decided.
Although... it was a last resort to Li Zicheng.
But once he succeeded, he firmly believed that such great contributions would be enough to win a duke in the new dynasty.
He ordered Wu Qian and said, "I will show the momentum of the imperial envoy later."
Wu Qian seemed to be immersed in a certain emotion, both excited and a little nervous.
But he quickly smiled slightly, Jizhu said as she held it, "Don't worry, it's just a little bit of trivial matters."
After all, he is also the Right Assistant Minister, not a good-looking lamp. He has seen such a scene a long time ago.
In fact, deep down, he hates bandits.
After all, he was a Jinshi and had been with him for most of his life. Now he is considered an important official in the court.
However, in his eyes, Zhu Ming really has no value for existence.
He hated the factory guards, and hated the emperor's favored eunuchs who had not passed the imperial examination and warriors like Zhang Jingyi.
He disliked Emperor Tianqi's houses and often confiscated his ministers and regarded them as pigs and dogs.
To a certain extent, he went further than Zhang Yanzhi.
Because Zhang Yan's counter-attack may be just because of interests.
But Wu Qian followed the trouble, but he wanted to realize his ideals more.
He hoped that the world would become what the Song Dynasty looked like, and that he could receive preferential treatment from previous emperors like the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty.
Instead of being like now, the doctor of the Zheng Shang often suppresses him.
The people behind also marched one after another.
He soon arrived outside the school.
There is a guard post of the Donglin Army here.
Someone shouted: "Who is it?"
A team official led dozens of students with a look of vigilance.
Someone is ready to blow the whistle and prepare for early warning.
Wu Qian dismounted and shouted: "Bold!"
He stalked forward with his head held high and said sternly: "We are here to convey the will of the palace!"
The team officer looked at him suspiciously, constantly scrutinizing Wu Qian with a strange look.
What Wu Qian wore was a bright red flying fish suit.
He calmed down and looked at the team officer in front of him.
The reason why he looked condescending is not because Wu Qian really thought it was like this, or rather, he deliberately did this to increase the credibility of his imperial envoy.
But because he himself did not take these Qiu Ba people seriously.
In his opinion, only those who are from Jinshi are truly qualified to be in the court class and are called officials.
Even if he is a Jinshi, he still despises the Jinshi in the third grade because he is not a real Jinshi.
Therefore, he almost looked at the team officer in front of him with a contemptuous tone.
This made Zhang Yanzhi, who was already a little worried, calm down, and he couldn't help but admire Wu Qian's courage in his heart.
But the officer frowned and said, "Imperial Order? Where is the Imperial Order?"
Wu Qian obtained the imperial edict, and only shook it in front of the team officials, shouting: "Here!"
The team officer then raised awe and said, "Just...I need..."
"What qualifications do you have to check?" Wu Qian said seriously with a cold face: "Who dares to check the imperial edict?"
The team official said: "Then please come in, I'll report it now."
Wu Qian then stalked with his head high and took the lead in carrying the imperial edict.
The people behind followed suit.
The team officer couldn't help but say, "You are only allowed to go in, the rest of the people...not..."
Wu Qian did not take this trick and said seriously: "When we came from the palace, we led everyone to the military academy according to the order. The order is here, so don't say much!"
He looked domineering.
This team officer obviously had never encountered such a situation.
After all, the imperial edict originally represented the emperor's will.
While he was wandering, Wu Qian had already taken the lead, while the rest had followed him in a swarm.
But at this time, in the Minglun Hall of the Military Academy.
Deputy Chief Instructor Chen Yandao, however, has led all military officers here to prepare for the imperial edict.
Wu Qian was so imposing that he only brought Zhang Yanzhi and a few others in. The rest were waiting outside Minglun Hall.
Chen Yandao was initially promoted in Xinxian County. When the military academy was established, he became an instructor because he was once a martial arts scholar and was smart and capable. It can be said that he grew up with the military academy and made countless contributions to the military academy.
At this time, he greeted Wu Qian.
After Chen Yandao gave a military salute.
Wu Qian only smiled and did not return the gift, but said, "The military academy and others received the order."
Then he took out the imperial edict and began to read the will.
The content of this decree is very simple. The bandits have arrived in Northern Zhili, and the military academy are all responsible for guarding the capital. Now, everything is under the control of the Minister of Personnel.
In addition, it has been heard that some people in the military academy colluded with bandits. In order to prevent Yu Weiran, Wu Qian, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, took over the military academy and ordered the military academy to disarm and wait for Wu Qian to identify.
After reading the will, Wu Qian looked up and said expressionlessly: "Do you understand the will?"
Chen Yandao said: "We need to show me the will."
Wu Qian sneered and said, "It's good to show you."
As he said that, he actually handed over the will to Chen Yandao.
Chen Yandao held the imperial edict and opened it.
In fact, in this world, except for Zhang Jingyi, who is simple in the emperor's heart, many people may not have accepted the will in their entire lives.
Therefore, Chen Yandao saw what this imperial edict looked like for the first time.
But the material used in this imperial edict is indeed extraordinary.
Not only that, the words inside are also the most serious style of the Pavilion, which is obviously written by Hanlin.
As for the seal...and there are others...and there are almost no mistakes.
Chen Yandao looked at it again and again, then said, "This imperial edict looks real."
After hearing this, Wu Qian laughed and said, "What does it mean to look true? This is true. Why? Do you still want to resist the order and disrespect?"
Chen Yandao said: "Isn't Your Majesty not in the capital? Why...there is an imperial edict?"
"Your Majesty is not in the capital, and the court also has an imperial edict. The cabinet can issue an edict clearly. Don't you know?"
Wu Qian looked at Chen Yandao with contempt.
In fact...it's true. People think that the emperor's decree is about to issue an order, so they write a decree and issue it.
But in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a complete system for conveying imperial edicts.
Sometimes even without an emperor, or in other words, the decrees of the vast majority of the world actually have little to do with the emperor.
It was precisely the emperor's personal will, which was called the Central Order, which made people feel that it was not formal enough.
Chen Yandao said: "I don't understand the imperial edict either. Why not do this? I have to ask an expert to see if this imperial edict is true or false!"
Wu Qian really never expected that someone would be so brave.
To be continued...
