Chapter 177: Decree
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she was silent again. 《lwXs520.coM
Cao Xuan couldn't figure out what the Empress Dowager was thinking at this time, so he could only wait quietly and hold his breath, but he was very anxious in his heart.
Jiang Lu is a young general, he is good at riding and archery, and he has already left half a day earlier than him with Wang Zhan, and the Empress Dowager is delayed here, he is afraid that even if he asks for the holy decree, he will not be able to arrive in time.
His expression couldn't help but show a little anxiety.
The Empress Dowager sat up straight and stretched out her hand to Cao Xuan, looking like she was going to go into the pit.
Cao Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to help the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager stood on the feet in front of the kang head, a little taller than the tall Cao Xuan. The Empress Dowager said: "Cao Xuan, you can leave the edict that your aunt gave me here!"
Didn't say what to do?
Cao Xuan hesitated for two breaths, and then gave the edict to the Empress Dowager.
He felt that there was no one in the world who loved Jiang Xian more than the Empress Dowager, and she was definitely reluctant to make Jiang Xian sad, just like back then, the Duke of Yongan wanted to marry Jiang Zhenying, and the Empress Dowager disagreed, but in the end she still relied on Princess Yong'an.
When the Empress Dowager got the edict with the phoenix seal, she called Meng Fangling in, and then handed the edict to Meng Fangling and said, "You go and prepare the four treasures of the study, and I and Cheng'en Gong will use them." ”
Cao Xuan was stunned.
The Empress Dowager said: "Since you want to make a holy decree, there must be a personal decree." I think it's up to you. ”
In other words, the Empress Dowager agreed.
Cao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and felt that his people had eased up again.
He was busy with the Empress Dowager going to the study in the side hall, and then wrote two holy decrees in the format of an official article.
The Empress Dowager looked at it and nodded.
Meng Fangling walked in, came in with three blank holy decrees, and said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, the slave is afraid that you will write badly, so I took one more one." ”
Cao Xuan looked at the multicolored gold back, and his mood was a little complicated.
Blank decrees aren't so easy to take, right?
Thinking so, he still sat down and took it seriously, neatly copied the decree approved by the Empress Dowager on the holy decree in the pavilion style, and asked the Empress Dowager who had been waiting for him to write the decree when the ink was dry: "Do you want to go to the pedestrian department to inquire who is on duty today?"
There is more than one jade seal, each with a different purpose, and occasionally the emperor rises, and a new seal will be used. But in any case, there are at least seven jade seals. In addition to the jade seal engraved with the words "Ordered by Heaven and Longevity", there are also the Emperor's Seal, which was used by the emperor to seal the three princes, the Emperor's Seal when he wrote letters to the princes and the Three Princes, the Emperor's Letter Seal, the Emperor's Letter Seal, the Emperor's Seal that sent domestic troops, the Seal of the Son of Heaven, the Seal of the Son of Heaven, the Seal of the Son of Heaven, the Seal of the Son of Heaven, and the Seal of the Son of Heaven, which was used to levy troops in the feudal domain.
The heirloom jade seal was kept by the emperor, and the other jade seals were supervised by Shang Bao. When the seal is usually used, the pedestrian department usually sends the seal document to the Shang Bao Division, and the Shang Bao Division sends a donation post to the Shang Bao Supervisor, and the chief eunuch of the Shang Bao Prison takes the seal from the female official who holds the jade seal.
The procedure is very complicated and cumbersome.
But since Emperor Xiao used the jade seal of the country when Concubine Jing gave birth to the first emperor and gave her the throne, and the first emperor was more fond of tossing than Emperor Xiao, Zhao Yi and Empress Dowager Cao were listening to the government...... The use of various jade seals is a bit messy.
But no matter how messy it is, if you want to stamp a valid jade seal on this blank holy decree, you have to come forward by the pedestrian division, and if the pedestrian division comes forward, it may alarm Zhao Yi. alarmed Zhao Yi, which means that this matter will become known to everyone, and everyone will see it, and if one is not careful, it will become out of control.
Who knew that the Empress Dowager did not frown, got up and ordered Cao Xuan, "You come with me with the holy decree", without even changing her clothes, she wore the half-new and not old autumn fragrance reed crane pattern that she saw him just now, and walked out directly with Meng Fangling.
Cao Xuan hurriedly followed, and because he didn't know what the Empress Dowager was like, he couldn't help but whisper to remind the Empress Dowager: "I asked before I came, and the person on duty in the pedestrian division today is Wu Fucheng, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy......"
Wu Fucheng came from a humble background, in the early years when he entered Beijing to catch the exam, he borrowed to live in Changchun Temple on the outskirts of Beijing, and when the old duchess who died in the Zhenguo Mansion went to the temple to repay his wishes, he once saved the life of Wu Fucheng who was sick in bed, Wu Fucheng was very grateful, and he would always visit the old Duchess when he was in the New Year. The two families have some contacts.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Cao Xuan.
Cao Xuan's heart trembled, and he always felt that the Empress Dowager's glance was pointing, and he couldn't help but feel empty in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
Soon, the Empress Dowager left Cining Palace and went to the Internal Affairs Office.
Cao Xuan was stunned.
The 12 yamen of the inner court are located in the internal affairs office.
Could it be that the Empress Dowager wants to go directly to Shangbao Prison?
But without Shang Baosi's donation, Shang Baojian would not dare to use the seal.
The Empress Dowager should know very well.
What is she going to do?
In a palm-sized place in the Internal Affairs Office, the great eunuchs of the twelve yamen are all working in the Internal Affairs Office, even when the Empress Dowager Cao is there, she is also polite to them, and the Empress Dowager is there in person, so she can't hide it at all. These are all trivial matters, and I am afraid that I am afraid of revealing the contents of the holy decree.
Cao Xuan couldn't help but say again: "Empress Dowager, do you think we should find a way to go to the pedestrian department first to get an official document......
The Empress Dowager ignored him, but just urged her to raise her shoulders and have an inner servant: "Hurry up!"
The attendants did not dare to delay and trotted up.
Cao Xuan had no choice but to follow.
Soon, they entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The attendants who came and went were dumbfounded.
The Empress Dowager motioned to the accompanying eunuchs: "Close the door!"
The accompanying eunuch beside her immediately brought back a few young eunuchs who had not gone far and closed the door.
The Empress Dowager asked the young eunuchs who were brought in: "Where is Shang Bao?"
There is no one who can walk around here, and the young eunuch immediately looked like a quail and hurriedly said, "Slave maid, I'll take you there." ”
The Empress Dowager nodded, and Meng Fangling helped her to the west.
Cao Xuan hesitated.
The Empress Dowager's entourage, who stayed in place, didn't know where to take out the root staff, and shouted to the attendants in the courtyard: "All stand against the wall for me." ”
Not only did he scold the waiters, but the waiters who were watching the excitement behind the window also hurriedly retracted their heads.
The entire House of Internal Affairs was silent without a sound.
Cao Xuan smiled bitterly.
The Empress Dowager obviously had already made arrangements, and he could neither stop nor come up with a better way to stay here, so it was better to follow the Empress Dowager.
He rushed to Shangbao's prison.
Seeing Shang Baojian's chief eunuch leading twenty or thirty attendants kneeling in the courtyard, the Empress Dowager stood on the steps, looking coldly at the sky in the distance, her originally kind face was cold and cold, and a chamberlain wearing a positive six-grade costume was pressed to the ground by the chamberlain who came with the Empress Dowager, her face was covered with wet mulberry paper, and she struggled desperately because of suffocation.
