Chapter 321: It's hard to decide

As soon as the mourning period passed, Zhao Yu was released from confinement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info He argued that his dormitory was too small, with only a dozen rooms to accommodate his many retinues, and asked for an expansion. Zhang Shijie agreed without thinking about it, which at least shows that His Majesty has planned to live here for a long time without leaving, and it is not too much for the emperor to improve the living environment, and immediately mobilized thousands of soldiers and civilians to assist, and built a courtyard with more than 40 houses on the basis of the original emperor in three days, with complete functions, and three entrances and three roads for the emperor to live in.

Zhao Yu turned around and moved in without saying anything, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, and secretly scolded this adult Zhang for being really thoughtful. He expanded the palace city, but divided the harem into two parts, so that he and the queen mother lived in the east and west courtyards. Although there is a corner gate connecting the two places, there is a three-zhang wide corridor in the middle, and if you want to go through, you must pass through this uncovered passage, and in the meantime, Zhang Shijie stationed sentry and patrol team are responsible for guarding.

Zhang Shijie's design is very ingenious, he can reach into the palace city by doing so, but he will not clash with the emperor's guards and the palace army guarding the palace. And Zhao Yu must bring the queen mother with him if he wants to run, otherwise he can abolish the queen mother and set up another emperor. But as long as he moves, he will be discovered by the sentry guarding the corridor, and immediately warn the guards deployed on the periphery of Miyagi, then it will be impossible to take the queen mother away. Zhao Hao could only take a dark loss, but he didn't care, because he didn't want to run yet.

But Zhang Shijie didn't think so, and he didn't relax his precautions against the emperor at all, and the generals of Qiongzhou not only went to the congratulatory table immediately after His Royal Highness succeeded to the throne, but also asked to enter the court Qinwang, he also refused without thinking about it, and let the Shuaifu army enter the court In his opinion, it was purely to lure the wolf into the room. The reason is also very straightforward and simple - the imperial court is financially miserable, and the food supply is insufficient, and it cannot support so many people. The people of the Shuai Mansion did not give up, and they had a plan if they couldn't make a plan, since they were not allowed to enter the court, they invited the court to enter Qiong, and now although they are not rich, they can still get by. Zhang Shijie was even more unwilling, going to Qiongzhou would be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger, and he immediately asked for rejection.

The repeated nonsense of the people in Qiongzhou, coupled with His Majesty's mediocre and cowardly performance in these days, made Zhang Shijie conclude that His Majesty was not as brave and wise as rumored by the outside world, but that someone behind him manipulated His Majesty into a god in order to prepare for the usurpation of the throne, but he didn't expect the former emperor to die so soon, and His Royal Highness in the past became His Majesty in the name of it. Therefore, the Qiongzhou gang is very unwilling, and still wants to control His Majesty to seek power.

Zhang Shijie knew that if he refused hard, this group of people who had been scheming for a long time might jump over the wall and forcibly enter the court to kidnap His Majesty. Think about the fact that they wanted to support the king as the emperor at the beginning, but it was just for glory and wealth, and now they are giving it to them themselves. So several Zai Zhi discussed it, thinking that the generals of Qiongzhou should be rewarded for their meritorious service in protecting His Majesty: should be the first to be meritorious, awarded the title of Baomo Pavilion University Scholar, and the title of secretary of the military department, still the pacification envoy of Guangnan West Road, and the military and political affairs of Qiongzhou; Jiang Xuan was awarded the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, and the title of squire of the household department; Gao Yingsong, Cai Wanyi and others all have awards. The Marshal's Mansion Army awarded the military title of the guards in front of the palace, Zhao Mengjin was the commander of the Mabu Army, and Liu Zhu was the commander of the Navy Army, and they were both awarded the General of the Protector.

After the holy decree, sure enough, the group of people in Qiongzhou stopped clamoring to enter the court. However, after they got on the thank you table, they deduced that the waterway from Qiongzhou to Weizhou Island was big and dangerous, and it was difficult for ships to transfer grain, so they refused to supply food to the imperial court anymore, and even ignored their former masters. This made Zhang Shijie resentful, but he had no choice but to scold them for being disloyal and unrighteous in the hall. The little emperor did not think of it as a pestle, but laughed, which made his heart very upset, until His Majesty issued an order to apply for their favor and felt a little better......

In the blink of an eye, in June, Zhao Yu has been the emperor for more than 20 days, and the only benefit is that the food is much better than in Qiongzhou, and the rest is only boring. Not to mention the majesty of the call when he was in Qiongzhou, he can't speak in the East Palace now, but he still has to worry that the newly transferred group of chamberlains and palace maids will beat his own small report.

How could the emperor not let Zhao Yu get angry when he was so fooled, but fortunately, he was mentally prepared and didn't hold back his illness. He knows that there is a reason why he can't be pro-government when he is young, and under the current system, even if he is pro-government, it is difficult for him to 'act arbitrarily', and he can have the final say in everything, so he can't help but scold the brain-dead director of the costume TV series for misleading people......

When we watch costume film and television works, we often feel that the former monarch Chrysostom and Yuyan said that his mouth was an edict and his mouth contained Tianxian, right? If the emperor has a whim, or wants to do something, he will shout: "Spread the ——— the decree!" Then he dictated a decree. When the decree is written, it will immediately be the supreme law, and whoever dares to disagree with it is a great crime of "resisting the decree", and not dying will also make him peel off his skin. If you believe this to be true, then you have been taken into the gutter by the bloody TV series.

In fact, the monarch's edict usually needs to go through a very strict process from the time it is drafted to the time it takes effect. Zhao Yu knew that at least the Song Dynasty was like this. Under normal circumstances, the so-called "holy decrees" are issued in the name of the emperor, and the emperor certainly has the right to directly instruct the draft decree, but it is more common for the deacons to write their opinions into a note and submit it to the emperor after court deliberation, and then the emperor instructs the draft edict after approval.

Whether this will comes from the emperor himself or from the hands of the rulers. According to the system of the Song Dynasty, when it entered the process of drafting edicts, it was generally drafted by the Zhongshu people of Zhongshu Province, not that the emperor appointed which cronies and eunuchs could be completed with a stroke of the pen. The power and responsibility of the Zhongshu Sheren are twofold, one is to make words, that is, to draft edicts according to the emperor's will (prefix). But the Song Dynasty Zhongshu Sheren had another privilege: if he felt that the prefix was illegal, whether the prefix came from the emperor or the prime minister, he could refuse to draft the edict, which was called sealing the prefix.

If the Zhongshu Sheren seals the prefix, and the emperor stubbornly insists on issuing an edict, then the edict can be drafted by the second Sheren, but the Second Sheren can also return the prefix. Theoretically, as long as the scholars reached a consensus on refusing to draft an edict, an unsuitable edict could be nipped in the bud. And these people are just equivalent to the leader's secretary team in modern times, ask who dares to write the meaning of the leader, and a wrong word can make you suspend and reflect.

If the person in charge of drafting the edict thinks that there is nothing wrong with the prefix, or if he is too lazy to do much, in short, he has drafted the edict and written it beautifully, then he can submit it to the emperor's imperial painting (signed painting) and record yellow (copied on yellow paper). However, this does not mean that the edict can be issued smoothly, and it must be promulgated by the Zhongshu Sheren, which involves another function of the Zhongshu Sheren in the Song Dynasty: "Grant the edict to be proclaimed and executed." ”

Since they are on duty in turns, the person who drafts the edict and the person who proclaims it may not be the same person, and if the person who proclaims the edict thinks that the edict is improper, he also has the right to refuse to sign it, which is actually to reject the edict. If there is no objection from the Zhongshu She, who is responsible for the announcement, he can sign to express his approval, which is called the book store, and then signed by the prime minister and sent to the province for review.

The provincial agency responsible for auditing and recording yellow is in the matter. The Song Dynasty also had the power to refute the edict in the matter, and if he thought the edict was improper, he also had the power to refute it and not pass it. If you don't have any opinion on Lu Huang in the matter, you will sign your name to indicate that you have passed the review, which is called book reading. If the book is not read in the matter, it is a violation for the prime minister to sign first.

When a decree is issued, it must first be tossed by the secretaries, and if one of the six people is not one of his own, it may lead to premature death. Therefore, even if Zhao Hao is pro-government, with his strength in the court, he can't even handle a few Zhongshu people, and he has a stroke when he makes trouble with him every day. Therefore, the experience summed up by the emperors of the past dynasties is that if you want to be pro-government, you must first establish a reliable secretary team before you can start an incident, otherwise no one will give you ideas and write edicts!

After an edict has passed through the three checkpoints of Zhongshu Sheren's word-making, calligraphy, and reading the book in the matter, if no problem is found, it can become an official decree and be handed over to Shangshu Province for implementation. However, as a formal decree, the edict must also be countersigned by the right minister, and if he refuses to countersign the edict, it will not take effect. Therefore, the left and right ministers must also be their own people, otherwise they will sing against you, and there will be no tricks, so you can't adjust the team all day long!

However, after the edict came into effect, there was still a final hurdle - the Taiwan Edict, which also had the legal power to discuss the gains and losses of government decrees, review the edict, and even pursue and revise the edict. Therefore, it is purely an imagination shaped by bloody TV dramas and feudal **** historical narratives.

Of course, the monarch of the Song Dynasty could also bypass the legal procedures such as the draft edict of the Zhongshu Sheren and the review of the matter, and did not need the prime minister's countersignature, and directly issued the edict, which is called the edict, internal surrender, and internal approval. It is not uncommon in history. However, such private purposes are not legally legitimate, and the government can refuse to enforce them. This is why the little emperor wrote a secret edict to Zhao Yu with his own hands, and why he still remembered to ask Lu Xiufu to write another edict when he was seriously ill, because he knew that his letter was ineffective unless it was an extraordinary period.

Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, the issuance of an edict had to go through multiple procedures: the emperor instructed the prefix, the Zhongshu Sheren drafted, the Huang Xingxia was recorded, the Zhongshu Sheren announced, the matter was reviewed, the prime minister countersigned, and the Taiwan admonished impeachment. Throughout the process, each link constitutes institutional supervision and checks and balances on the monarch's power. And this system is designed for the emperor in case he ******, but Zhao Yu knows that there are two sides to everything.

If the monarch is weak and the minister is strong, there will be a loophole in this system, and as long as you control any of these links, you may not be able to form a decree that is unfavorable to you, and the two sides will form a confrontation, and you can only reconcile and make concessions to each other, and you can gain a certain amount of power. But now I think about it, I can only be this emperor who is in charge before I become pro-government......

Zhao Yu knew his situation very well in his heart, so he also made up his mind to ignore everything, every time the court meeting and court meeting were like the 'hum ha' of the heavenly palace guarding the door, except for hum, it was ha, but in the face of the things in front of him, it was still inevitable to get angry. The area of Weizhou Island is no more than 100 miles square, and the original residents are few and the people are not more than 1,000, so they simply cannot support such a huge team, and everything depends on external assistance.

I have lived on the island for two months, and my life has become more and more difficult, but this Mrs. Zhang, who is "afraid" and "disagreeable" with Chen, is really a little difficult to work with, especially on major issues related to life and death, and is more accustomed to acting arbitrarily. Now that the situation is precarious, where do we go from here? Prime Minister Lu Cheng suggested to Empress Dowager Yang to move south to Qiongzhou. Zhang Shijie was stubborn and wanted to develop in Leizhou, so he sent troops to attack several times.

Today, the news just came that Zhang Yingke, the general of the three thunder states, was defeated repeatedly and died in the city, and another general, Wang Yong, could not do anything, but he did not dare to go back because of the strict order and surrendered to the Mongols. This provoked Zhang Shijie to be furious, and he wanted to personally lead the army to go to the conquest, but everyone couldn't stop admonishing him, and he ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses and 500 warships to go to Leizhou early this morning.

"Stupid, reckless, doing it knowing that you can't do it, how different is it from sending it to death!" Zhao Hao's words didn't work, so he could only go back to his nest and lose his temper.

"Your Majesty is angry, don't hurt yourself!" Wang De knew that His Majesty was in a bad mood at a glance, and hurriedly waved his hand to let all the idle people in the hall withdraw, leaving only the master and servant, and he stepped forward to persuade.

"Anger, anger?! What else would you say? Zhao Yu turned to Wang De and yelled.

"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better if Mrs. Zhang could defeat Leizhou!" Wang De's sweat towel wiped the sweat beads on His Majesty's face and said with a smile.

"Bullshit, although there are not many enemy troops stationed in Leizhou, there are 50,000 Tartar households stationed in the entire Guangxi, and he will attack in a big way, and the enemy army will not need ten days to arrive. Not only is it difficult to win, but it will also expose the location of the dynasty, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to settle here. Zhao Yu was still angry.

"Your Majesty, if he wants to do it, what does it have to do with us, it's a big deal for us to return to Qiongzhou." Wang De handed His Majesty another glass of water and said. Wang De thought that His Royal Highness had become His Majesty in the next dynasty, and he was also competent to serve in the province, at least in the harem, he was the big boss who had the final say, but in fact this was not the case, although Dou Xing in the Queen Mother's Palace was the deputy, he still pressed him, and he not only controlled the West Palace, but also interfered in the affairs of the East Palace. But now His Majesty has to listen to the Queen Mother, and he has nothing to do. The reason is not that he has been on other people's territory, if he returns to Qiongzhou, who would dare to stare at him, so he hopes that Zhang Shijie will still fail.

"Hmph, it's not a pity for a reckless man to die, but what about those soldiers? Just because of his willfulness, he lost his life in vain! Zhao Yu looked at Wang De and snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty is right, but the Queen Mother agreed, what can we do!" Wang De also sighed.

"Yes, what I'm the emperor said doesn't count......" Zhao Yu was deflated when he heard this...... (To be continued.) )
