Zhu Youxiao paced back and forth in the main hall, thinking about things from beginning to end, and suddenly he remembered something, and immediately turned back to Chen Hong and said, "Come here!" ”

Chen Hong naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Emperor, the slave is here!" ”

After looking Chen Hong up and down, Zhu Youxiao said: "After the cabinet drafts the decree, you take someone to Xiong Tingbi's hometown to announce the decree. When the time comes, give this question book to Xiong Tingbi and let him take a look. Saying that, Zhu Youxiao gave Yuan Yingtai's question book to Chen Hong, and Zhu Youxiao believed that Xiong Tingbi would understand it as long as he looked at this question book.

This question book was originally handed over to other people, but Zhu Youxiao was not at ease, and what could make him feel at ease was a personal eunuch like Chen Hong.

"Yes, my lord, the slave and maid must hurry over." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, and his face was also very serious.

In fact, it is unreasonable to let Chen Hong preach the decree, because there are two kinds of holy decrees, one is the holy decree and the other is the middle decree. The so-called holy decree is the emperor's decree, the cabinet's decree, and finally the emperor's jade seal's decree, which is called the holy decree. The middle decree, that is, the holy decree issued by the emperor privately, is not so authoritative, and the civil officials can even not accept the middle decree.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, this is the privilege given to them by civil officials, anyway, they are looking for all kinds of reasons to make themselves different and enjoy privileges.

The decree is passed on by the eunuchs, but the decree is the decree of the officials, and the appointment of Xiong Tingbi is naturally the decree, so Chen Hong can follow, but he can't pass the decree. Of course, Zhu Youxiao would not let Chen Hong pass on the holy decree, he only needed to send Yuan Yingtai's inscription to Xiong Tingbi.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao can also issue a decree, but the civil officials have already thought of it. If anyone accepts the central decree, and this central decree is precisely opposed by the cabinet, then you are flattering without righteousness and bottom line, and all official character and character will be attacked and condemned at all levels, and it is impossible to make a move in the officialdom.

The civil officials tried every means to limit the power of the emperor while seizing power for themselves. The struggle between the eunuchs and the ministers in the Ming Dynasty is always reflected in the struggle between the imperial power and the ministers, or the struggle between the imperial power and the scholar group.

Chen Hong left, and the holy decree was issued, but the matter was far from over, because the whole court felt that this matter was inexplicable, why did they suddenly have a dream? Why did you replace Yuan Yingtai in a dream, because a dream does 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 while, the government and the opposition were boiling, and countless impeachment scripts entered the palace, and there were a lot of people who advised Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao stayed in the middle and did not send them, allowing them to make noise.

Jiangxia, Hubei Province, which is Jiangxia District in later generations, belongs to Wuhan City, Hubei Province, is located in the south of Wuhan City, connected to Hongshan District in the north, bordered by Xian'an District and Jiayu County of Xianning City in the south, Ezhou City and Daye City in the east, and Caidian District and Hannan District across the river in the west. In the Ming Dynasty, it was not famous, even ordinary, and it was a quiet and peaceful county seat.

However, on this day, the tranquility of Jiangxia was broken, and a group of brocade-clothed guards entered Jiangxia City murderously, escorting two carriages to the gate of Xiong Tingbi's Xiong Mansion.

Since he resigned and went home, Xiong Tingbi's heart has not been calm. Although he has always had his family by his side these days, and he doesn't need to lick the blood on the knife anymore, for some reason, his heart is always empty. Xiong Tingbi has a hot temper and a straight temperament, and these days at home, he is naturally intermittently angry, and he is really depressed, mainly because he is unwilling.

is drinking the hot tea sent by his wife, Xiong Tingbi is getting more and more angry the more he drinks, when is this thing a head?

"Master, there's a brocade guard outside." An old housekeeper quickly ran to Xiong Tingbi's side and said breathlessly.

Listening to the old man's words, Xiong Tingbi was stunned, he didn't expect that there would be Jinyiwei's people at this time, could it be another disaster? But that's not right! I didn't do anything!

It's no wonder that Xiong Tingbi thinks about it a lot, Jinyiwei is infested, and there is often nothing good, but Xiong Tingbi is not too surprised, maybe he was liquidated by some people in the court again.

After a while, Xiong Tingbi said to the housekeeper behind him: "Where is the person?" ”

"Back to the sir, in the antechamber." The old butler replied.

Leaving the garden quickly, although Xiong Tingbi didn't know who it was, but since it was Jinyiwei, he would definitely not be able to hide if he wanted to.

Xiong Tingbi came to the living room and saw Chen Hong, and at the same time, there was an official who was waiting there with an anxious face. This made Xiong Tingbi stunned, and before he could react, the official who passed the decree had already started: "Xiong Tingbi took the order!" ”

Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi's body trembled suddenly, and then he knelt down with his clothes and said loudly: "Grass people Xiong Tingbi, take the order!" Several of the servants behind him also knelt down to obey the order.

took the holy decree out of his sleeve, and the herald said loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the system says: Xiong Tingbi, Zhizhi Zhongchun, Yunwen Yunwu, the dry city of the country." Now Liaodong is in difficulty, the captivity is rampant, I can't bear to be loyal to the Zhengxian ministers at home, cast idle and scattered, and specially enshrine Xiong Tingbi as the left squire of the military department and the left of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, and give the king the banner of the order, and obey all the important military affairs of Liaodong. I hope that you will be loyal to your duties, live up to my hopes, and give you your honor! ”

Listening to the decree of the official who passed the decree, Xiong Tingbi was blinded, and he actually used his own holy decree.

"Lord Xiong, take the order! Are you? "The herald's words did not continue, but the meaning has been clearly expressed, do you dare not accept the order?

Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi came back to his senses, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Minister Xiong Tingbi is thankful!" ”

The official handed over the decree to Xiong Tingbi, and then turned around and took his leave, 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 left, Xiong Tingbi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I don't know how to call my father-in-law?" ”

"Lord Xiong doesn't have to be polite, our Chen Hong!" Chen Hong said with a smile, then took out a question book and handed it to Xiong Tingbi: "Lord Xiong, this is what His Majesty asked our family to hand over to you." The things have already been delivered, so we won't have much left. However, our family reminds Lord Xiong that the mountains and rivers in Liaodong are far away, and it is better for Lord Xiong to set off as soon as possible. ”

Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "Thank you Gonggong Chen for reminding me." ”

Chen Hong and the officials who sent the decree came and went in a hurry, and Xiong Tingbi was inexplicable. After unfolding and reading the question book, Xiong Tingbi's face changed, and he scolded Yuan Yingtai for being a fool in his heart. Now he understands why His Majesty wants to use himself, and why His Majesty will give this question book to himself. His Majesty is dissatisfied with Yuan Yingtai, and at the same time hopes that he will set things right as soon as possible.

Thinking of the precarious situation in Liaodong now, Xiong Tingbi's just raised schadenfreude for Yuan Yingtai disappeared, turned around and walked inside, and at the same time commanded loudly: "Hurry up and prepare, your master is going to Liaodong." ”
