Geng Wu, the king is the imperial historian.
Xin Wei (Note 1), the Imperial Historian played the Jianzhang Palace. "The prime minister's ministers are thousands of autumns, the imperial historian is ignorant of the death of the minister, the left general Anyang Hou Ji, the general of the chariot cavalry Sang Le Hou'an, and the imperial historian Hongyang are all evil to interfere with the auxiliary government, the general does not listen, but has a grudge, conspires with the king of Yan, and makes an appointment with the post exchange, the traffic private letter, the conspiracy to make the eldest princess put wine, ambush the general Guang, and set up the king of Yan as the son of heaven, and there is no way to rebel. Chen Qianqiu and others discussed with the princes, officials 2,000 stones, doctors, doctors, etc.: "Spring and Autumn" said, "Ministers do not general, they will be punished". Now the crime is heavier than the general, the rebellion has been decided, the book seal and its rebellion have been proved to be clear, the crime should be beheaded, and his parents, wives, children, and the same property, all of them have abandoned the city. so that the world knows the way of the courtiers, and does not dare to have the intention of being desolate again. He said, "Yes." β
This system is under the order, according to the law, the imperial historian will make a formal edict, issued to the prime minister, and then, by the prime minister under the middle of the 2,000 stones, 2,000 stones, under the county guard, the princes, the secretary engaged in the next user.
The official edict was - "Your Majesty the Emperor, the general issued an edict (Note 2): 'The eldest princess Diqing (Note 3) and the general Zuo Shangguan Ji, the general An, the general of the chariot and the general An, and the imperial historian Sang Hongyang, etc., had resentment, conspired with the king of Yan, set up an appointment with the post exchange, communicated with the private letter, conspired to make the eldest princess put wine, ambushed the army to kill the general Guang, and established the king of Yan as the son of heaven. The eldest princess committed suicide, and those who should sit still talked about it. so that the world knows the way of the courtiers, and there is no longer the meaning of evil backs. ββ
When the edict was drawn up and he went to the Fuxi Terrace to use the seal, the king was anxious in his heart.
Although it was the first time to draft an edict, he had never seen the emperor's edict for decades, but he had never seen such an edict at the beginning as he wrote.
Shang Fu Xilang put the seal on the seal of the edict, but the king was stunned and did not move, and the royal history of the king who came to see this, he took a step forward diligently, put the seal book into the letter bag with the square bottom of the green silk, and after the tether seal was sealed, he pressed his own "imperial history in the seal" in the seal slot of the seal.
After everything was done, Cheng Cai called the chief official in a low voice: "Doctor Yushi, this edict has been sealed." β
Wang suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the seal sealed by the Imperial Doctor, nodded, and thanked Shang Fu Xilang again before leaving with Imperial Historian.
- The Imperial Doctor has two princes, and the rank is a thousand stones. One of them, the official name Zhongcheng, was in the Lantai of the palace, the secretary of the picture book, the assassin of the foreign governor's department, and fifteen imperial historians in the inner court.
ββAll edicts, full of green silk square bottom, sealed in the history of the seal.
The next seal book is in the prime minister's house, but in the past the matter of the prime minister's house, the prime minister will send the seal book in the middle of the 2,000 stones, 2,000 stones is not troublesome, and the lower county is too guarded and the princes are to be sent to the county.
Issuing an edict to the prime minister naturally requires the prince to go to him.
After Tian Qianqiu received the edict, he immediately handed it over to the officials, and at the same time asked Changshi to submit the message.
"The messenger of the seal book must pass it by gallop. Dare to ask the doctor to seal it. Tian Qianqiu was very polite.
- Law, when the passenger and the person who sends the transmission are all holding a five-inch wooden letter and sealing it with the seal of the imperial historian. It is passed on and sealed. Ginseng, three also. There will be a period of sealing both ends, two at each end, and four seals. There are five seals in the middle of the ride, two at each end, and one in the center. It is rumored that two horses will be sealed again, and one horse will be one letter.
ββThe envoy of the Fengxi book rode the gallop and passed it, and his post rider was also, three rides, and traveled thousands of miles day and night.
Tian Qianqiu had already prepared, and the reason for the one-foot-five-inch message had already been written, and only the seal of the Imperial Doctor was missing.
"The prince is very detailed." Wang praised it heartily.
Tian Qianqiu smiled, but felt that this imperial historian was easier to get along with than Sang Hongyang.
- Sang Hong sheep's palm salt, iron, and all lose things, has always been very busy, but he is not too concerned about the duties of the imperial doctor, but he is a businessman, heavy profit and trust, just like the seal to send a letter, always have the Prime Minister's Office to explain the reason in detail, and after reading it, confirm that it is correct, and then use the chapter.
ββOver the past few years, Rao Shitian Qianqiu has always been tolerant, and he can't help but feel that he is not close to people.
Wang is a latecomer, and he doesn't have much respect for Tian Qianqiu, but after all, he is a scribe, and looking at Tian Qianqiu's age, he won't trouble this elder much.
- For example, there is no rule for the Imperial Doctor to go in person or not, but the king still came in person.
Despite this, the king did not immediately use his own seal, but said: "The seal is customized, and the prince sends someone to send the message to the Yushi Dafu Temple, and the servant returns to the temple with the seal." β
This is also the reason it should be, Tian Qianqiu has no opinion.
The matter was over, so the king didn't stay long, and said a few more polite words to Tian Qianqiu, and then got up and took his leave.
Tian Qianqiu descended to send him off, and Wang hurriedly persuaded him, and the two separated in front of the Yellow Pavilion in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When the king walked away, the official slave who served the prime minister helped the old prime minister to return to the listening cabinet, and after a while, the official who had taken the seal book before came in with the seal book, looking embarrassed.
"Junhou ......" This official is not very old, and his expression is more obvious, which makes Tian Qianqiu curious.
"What?" Tian Qianqiu asked, then glanced at the seal book in his hand again, and couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that this edict is inconvenient to implement, and Cao Shi wants to return it?" β
The official stepped forward and put the seal book on the curl table in front of the prime minister, and then said: "Prince, the enlightenment of this edict ......" The official really didn't know how to describe it.
"How?" Tian Qianqiu asked puzzled.
He knew the contents of the edict and did not feel anything wrong.
The official Peng kept looking at the prime minister, and when he saw him like this, he was a little uneasy, and after thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "Since it is a seal book, it should be inspired by the 'edict'......"
Tian Qianqiu is old, his ear is not very good, and it took a lot of effort to understand the meaning of the subordinates, and then he said with a smile: "This is not an edict from Your Majesty, but an edict from a courtier, who should be invited." β
"Even so, the general should not be signed before the 'edict'." The officials stubbornly objected.
Tian Qianqiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, just about to say something, he figured it out again, shook his head, and said with a smile: "This system has indeed not been seen for many years." β
The official was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "The meaning of the prince and the marquis, the revelation of this edict is correct?" β
- To be selected as a subordinate official of the Prime Minister's Mansion also requires intelligence, and no matter what, he will not be a stupid person.
Tian Qianqiu nodded, but then couldn't help but sigh: "I thought that the general would not be like this......"
Sighing, Tian Qianqiu waved his hand, unintentionally saying more, and directly signaled the officials to leave.
The Imperial Doctor, who had the same idea as the officials, did not have such a good teacher to solve his doubts.
Returning to the Imperial History Temple, because the message from the Prime Minister's Mansion had been delivered, the king chose to seal his own "Imperial History Doctor's Chapter" to the mission. Chi passed on to five letters, each letter had to be sealed by the king five times, and he personally sealed a few, and the king was a little impatient, and ordered someone to invite Yu Shicheng to come.
When Yu Shi Cheng came over, the king's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered his Cheng to help him seal the letter here, and Yu Shi Cheng could only promise.
After a while, the king suddenly asked, "I have been in the Imperial Shi Dafu Temple for many years, and when I first came, I should ask for advice." β
Yu Shicheng was taken aback, but he couldn't refuse: "The king said, the minister did his best." β
The king didn't embarrass him, but said in great confusion: "The servant is ugly, the edict sent by Shangshu today is inspired by the edict of 'His Majesty the Emperor and the Great General'...... The servant had never seen such an edict. β
Yu Shicheng was also stunned, and after thinking hard for a long time, he nodded: "Chen Yu, what he said may not be correct, I vaguely remember that the first emperor had an edict of this system." β
Wang Daxi suddenly relieved his heart.
- As long as it's not new or wrong!
Wang pondered for a moment, called a Ling Shi in, and instructed him to take the edict of the first year of Yuan Feng stored in the temple.
- Since there is a great general, it must be an edict from Yuan Feng five years ago.
The king didn't want people to think about it, so he chose such a time that would not move forward or backward.
- Although Yu Shicheng said so, he had to see it with his own eyes to make him feel at ease.
In any case, the king's heart was much calmer.
However, the king waited for a while, but before the old edict came, he waited for a report:
"Doctor Yushi, please see Shang Shuling."
The king had a great headache, but he couldn't help it, so he could only say, "Please." β
Shang Shuling came in, and as soon as he entered the hall, he heard the voice of the king groaning: "There is an edict again?" β
Shang Shuling was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's not an edict, it's a commandment." β
- There are four books under the emperor: one is the policy book, the second is the preparation of the book, the third is the edict, and the fourth is the edict.
"Commandment?" Wang was stunned, "Who is it?" β
As soon as he asked, Wang reacted: "King Yan? β
"Yes!" Shang Shuling nodded, and then presented the ruler in his hand to the imperial doctor.
The king opened the booklet, and saw the bookβ
"There is an edict to the king of Yan: Emperor Xi Gao is the king of the world, and he established his children to build a screen society. The previous day Zhulu conspiracy was rebellious, Liu's endless hair, Lai Jianghou and others punished the thieves and rebels, respected filial piety, and took Anzong Temple, not to Chinese and foreign people, and the corresponding evil in the surface? Fan, Li, Cao, Guan, with a sword to push the front, from the high emperor reclamation to eliminate harm, hoe the sea, at this time, the head is like a puffy Bao, hard work, but its reward can not be feuded. The descendants of the present clan have no violent clothes and open crowns, and the king splits the land, divides the wealth and gives it, the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the brother dies. Now the king is close to each other, and the enemy and me are one, but he conspires with a foreign race to kill the community, kisses him, neglects his relatives, has a rebellious heart, and has no loyalty and love. If the ancients know, what face should be restored to Qi Yu to see the temple of the ancestors! β
