Chapter 071: Feng Bao's Palm Print
Early the next morning, the edict was issued.
The celebrant eunuch Huang Mengyu and Chen Hong passed on the edict of the empress, the decree of the imperial concubine, the decree of the emperor and the cabinet, the government, the ministry and other yamen
"Emperor Daxing Bintianxian summoned the three auxiliary ministers of the cabinet to the royal couch one day, and gave a will to my mother and son, saying that the East Palace was young and asked them to assist. He also said that the university scholar Gao Gong was in charge of political affairs, and Gao Pragmatic still accompanied the East Palace. Today's East Palace succeeded to the unification, read the last order of the Emperor Daxing, and the special bachelor Gao Gong was the Taifu. In addition, the quasi-high pragmatic resignation of the prince accompanies him, and he is still a fake official, and he is specially appointed to observe the government, all from his original position.
In addition, there is the eunuch Meng Chong, who has the seal of the master of ceremonies, thinking that the palace of the emperor of Daxing has not been completed, and he is not satisfied with the banquet and the food is not sweet, so he asked to resign from the palm seal of the master of ceremonies and went to Tianshou Mountain to supervise the construction of the tomb of the emperor of Daxing. My mother and son felt that they were lonely and loyal, and they were all righteous, so they allowed their resignation. Meng Chong changed to Changping Town to guard the eunuch and supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum, and another nephew, Jinyiwei, commanded the affairs.
Due to the vacancy of the celebrant seal, Feng Bao was the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the seal of the celebrant and the eunuch of the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the seal of the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Huang Mengyu and the eunuch of the imperial factory Chen Hong and the eunuch of the imperial supervisor. ”
After this "Trinity" edict reached all the prefectures, ministries, and courts, it immediately aroused widespread discussion, because this edict was indeed quite mysterious.
Gao Gong Jia Taifu may be the least turbulent of them, after all, he is the elder of the Three Dynasties Pavilion and Tuo Gufu, no matter what the officials of the outer court think of him, but after all, everyone belongs to the civil official system, and they are still happy to see Gao Gong's status higher at this time. Besides, the new emperor's ascension to the throne and rewarding the old ministers can be regarded as the proper meaning of the title, which is nothing more than Gao Gong's reward for real power, and can only improve this honorary status.
And the honor of Taifu, Gao Gong is indeed worthy of him is the emperor of Emperor Daxing, when the East Palace went out of the pavilion to give a lecture before, he was also with Zhu Xizhong, the Duke of Chengguo, "knowing the scriptures and feasting", so now, Gao Gong has been regarded as two generations of emperors.
Two generations of emperors, what's wrong with the title of Taifu? Fair and reasonable.
One thing that surprised the outer court was the adjustment of the celebrant supervisor. First of all, the adjustment of the celebrant is in principle a family matter of the emperor, and according to the usual practice, the replacement of the celebrant usually only notifies the cabinet, and then the cabinet can convey it to the six ministries and the various ministries and courts.
But this time it was different, the edict did not say anything, and it was directly notified to the ministries. It's a bit weird, as if the palace is in a hurry to let everyone know about this adjustment.
What's the urgency in the palace? Isn't it better to calm everything down at this time?
Moreover, Meng Chong's resignation is also very strange, if Meng Chong is only one of the eunuchs of the celebrant eunuch, it is reasonable to resign to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum of the emperor of Daxing, or to take the post and concurrently supervise the construction. But he is a palm seal eunuch, equivalent to the inner court assistant, in this position, how can he resign in general? Is it really because he has too deep feelings for Emperor Daxing?
But if you want to say that he made a mistake and was degraded, it seems that it can't be said, people not only supervised the construction of the imperial mausoleum, but also served as the eunuch of Changping Town, which shows that the palace still trusts him, not to mention that one of his nephews is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, which shows that the honor is also there.
As for Feng Bao and the others in turn, it doesn't seem to be very conspicuous, and the one who is really conspicuous among them is not Feng Bao, but Huang Mengyu.
Huang Mengyu skipped Chen Hong and mastered the East Factory, which is the only exception in this "sequential supplement" of the celebrant supervisor.
Originally, Huang Mengyu's qualifications were below Chen Hong, and his ranking in the celebrant was originally after Chen Hong, but this time he was appointed as the governor of Dongchang instead of Chen Hong, which can only show that Huang Mengyu's status in the inner court has risen, and although Chen Hong's real power in his hands is broader, the actual core authority is to manage the financial affairs of the palace, which is equivalent to standing still and being crossed by Huang Mengyu.
As for Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju in the back, they have not changed much, one is in charge of archives and seals, and at the same time is responsible for various supplies in the palace, and the other is in charge of military affairs in the inner court, and by the way, he manages the military manufacturing of the inner court.
Is this change of celebrant significant? It depends on who answers.
For people who want to go through the inner court to strive for promotion, there must be some significance, at least the object of the gift has changed, except for the part that directly sends money, the other parts must be adjusted accordingly according to the preferences of the other party.
But this point of significance is almost negligible, it really doesn't work, and it's over if you give it all away!
And what about the other courtiers? As far as they are concerned, the personnel adjustment of the celebrant has nothing to do with their money. This is also the reason why the adjustment of personnel by the celebrant supervisor in the past has never been clear.
Many officials privately ridiculed, "The two palaces and the emperor either don't know the rules, or they deliberately show favor to the cabinet and the ministry, so that they can even inform the adjustment of the inner court so clearly!" ”
It is natural for Gao Gong to give birth to Taifu, and they can't control the adjustment of the inner court, except for another small matter that they think can be discussed.
The original words of the edict were "quasi-high and pragmatic resignation of the prince to accompany the reading, still fake the original official, special appointment to observe the government, all from the original department".
"Still fake original official", what he is talking about is "fake Hanlin Academy's bachelor's degree, fake Zhan Shifu Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude", "all from the original office" is talking about not caring what his current official name is, what he originally did, and what he still does now.
Well, that's an illustrative remark.
That is to say, Gao Pragmatic asked the prince to accompany him, and was agreed by the two palaces and the emperor, and then because Emperor Daxing had a will before his death, he changed this "Guanzheng", in fact, he only changed from "accompanying the prince" to "accompanying the emperor"?
But it makes sense to accompany the prince in principle, but it doesn't make sense to accompany the emperor in principle!
However, this problem is not particularly serious after all, and besides, it is the last order of Emperor Daxing, so everyone still plans to take a look at the reaction of the cabinet and various ministries before deciding that it is not too late.
Anyway, now the imperial court is basically the dominant family of Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, who dared to jump out to challenge Gao Gong's authority some time ago, has been driven to Tianshou Mountain to find a cemetery since the death of Emperor Daxing, and it is estimated that it is too late to express his position. So this matter also caused some officials to discuss privately, and then what to do.
How did these people know that the edict promulgated today was in the palace last night, but it alarmed the two palaces to meet and discuss the results for a long time!
What are the main discussions in the two houses? It's not Gao Gong plus Taifu, nor is it Gao Pragmatic to change to Guan Zheng, it is the adjustment of the functions and powers of the celebrant supervisor!
If you talk about it more carefully, the main point of contention is whether Feng Bao should hand over the post of commander of the East Factory, and if so, to whom!
