Chapter 133: The Decree is Given
(PS: Thank you book friend l599xl, book friend Rou Tiger once again 100 coins reward~)
Xiao Anzi brought a brocade stool, Zhang Juzheng smiled lightly, lifted the hem of the big red python robe and sat down.
"What are you talking about, sir?"
Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun sat upright, squeezing out a smile, just like an ordinary child seeing Mr. Private School.
Zhang Juzheng arched his hand and said, "The old minister is here to report to Your Majesty for an important matter. ”
Zhu Yijun thought that Zhang Ju was testing him, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The political affairs are handled by Mr. and Feng Daban, and I am relieved." ”
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "This matter is very important, and the old minister and Gonggong Feng will never dare to make a decision. ”
Zhu Yijun was slightly surprised, he was not surprised that these words came out of other people's mouths, but it was really unusual for them to come out of Zhang Juzheng's mouth.
He was also a little curious, so he urged, "Sir, tell me, what is going on?" ”
Zhang Juzheng handed over the song to Xiao Anzi, and Xiao Anzi presented it to Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun unfolded the recital and looked at it very seriously.
He really reviews and remarks, and has few opportunities to deal with government affairs, and many times he is out of shape. He was unwilling to miss the opportunity to fulfill the emperor's obligations.
Although he has been practicing Zuo for six years, he is like an apprentice, who has not yet been taught and needs to continue to learn how to be a good emperor.
Although Zhu Yijun does not have much experience in handling government affairs, after all, he has been trained by so many famous teachers and Confucians for many years, and he still has the basic concept of right and wrong.
After being by Zhang Juzheng's side for many years, he also has basic political qualities and knows several national policies of the Ming Dynasty well.
When he saw that the Lu family not only sold illicit salt, he was trembling with anger.
"With just one thing, I can behead his entire family, and the two crimes will be punished together, and all the people of the Lu family should be killed!"
He was so excited that he realized that he was talking to Zhang Juzheng after saying this, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly made up for it: "I'm not angry with Mr., I'm angry." ”
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't need to explain. Your Majesty is the Lord of all peoples, and everything you say is a holy decree. It's just that His Majesty needs to be responsible to all the people and to the country. ”
After a pause, Zhang Juzheng continued: "Your Majesty is right, the two crimes of adulteration and selling illicit salt are capital crimes, but if the matter itself is concerned, I am afraid that those female relatives are unaware. In order to show His Majesty's benevolence, he did not follow the decree to behead all the men in the Lu Mansion, the first offender Lu You'an Ling Chi, and the rest of the female dependents were punished and confiscated into the Teaching Division. What does Your Majesty think? ”
Emperor Wanli swallowed a mouthful of spit, slightly unhappy in his heart.
In fact, according to what he meant, the people of the Lu family committed two felonies, and they were all dragged out and beheaded, so why bother? Isn't the daughter of the Lu family from the Lu family?
But since Zhang Juzheng said this, he couldn't refuse, so he said along the way: "What Mr. said is good, I also think it should be dealt with like this." Xiao Anzi, hurry up and prepare pen and ink, I want to draft the purpose! ”
Xiao Anzi hurried to prepare a bright yellow silk cloth, and someone else prepared the pen and ink.
Emperor Wanli sat in front of the desk, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote on the silk cloth.
The meaning is all Zhang Juzheng's meaning, and Zhu Yijun just transferred these meanings to the holy decree.
He quickly wrote the decree and asked Zhang Juzheng to read it.
Zhang Juzheng nodded frequently: "Your Majesty's calligraphy has improved again." ”
Zhu Yijun blushed and said, "Mr. praised it falsely, I ...... I have nothing to do on weekdays, so I like to practice calligraphy. ”
Zhang Juzheng's heart sank, was he a little too strict with the little emperor? Shouldn't the little emperor be given proper freedom?
Of course, this thought was just a flash, Zhang Juzheng was the first assistant after all, and he was responsible for the whole world, not just Emperor Wanli.
Although he was a talented student, he was only fourteen years old after all.
The age of fourteen is a critical period for the formation of ideas, and there must be no problems at this time.
Children of ordinary people's families have wrong concepts, which may harm the family. If the emperor is not right, it will bring disaster to a country.
"Your Majesty, since the will has been prepared, I will send six subjects to the matter."
The general recital has to go through the procedure of the ticket to be approved, and the approval is completed only after a set of procedures is completed. However, there are some exceptions, such as the emperor personally reviewing the recital and sending it directly to the six departments for transcription, and then issuing a decree. This is tantamount to bypassing the cabinet and the celebrant of ceremonies.
This is also the power of the emperor.
It's just that because Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun is young, many situations are handled by the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, and he has never exercised this power.
But if he has not exercised it, it does not mean that this power does not exist, Zhang Juzheng is very happy when he mentions Zhu Yijun.
Although the content of the decree was finalized by Zhang Juzheng, after all, he bypassed the cabinet and the celebrant to issue the decree alone. A small progress is also progress, at least in the eyes of many ministers of the foreign court, this is the embodiment of the emperor's diligence.
"Well, let's do it. Come on, pass the holy decree to the six branches, and if there is no objection to copy and leave the bottom, immediately send someone to Jingzhou to spread the decree! ”
Normally, the six branches give the right to refute the divine decree in the matter. But in the vast majority of cases they do not exercise this power.
Only when they felt that the emperor's decree was unreasonable, they would refute it and send it back.
After all, refuting the holy decree is equivalent to directly slapping the emperor in the face, and when he encounters a stubborn person, he may directly click on the matter.
No one would joke with their own lives, so the six branches will be cautious about exercising the right to refute the holy decree in the matter.
Of course, Zhu Yijun didn't think that the Holy Decree would be refuted back in this time. The head of the Lu family has committed a heinous crime, and he has been extrajudicial and forgiven the lives of the Lu family's daughters.
What else do you want?
Xiao Anzi carefully rolled up the holy decree and ordered someone to send it to the Yamen of the Six Branches.
The matter of the Lu family was solved, and Zhang Juzheng's mood was a lot lighter. He made a rare joke: "I heard that Your Majesty has recently lived in a separate palace with the queen?" ”
Zhu Yijun was stunned, does Zhang Juzheng have to take care of this kind of thing?
"Sir, I'm not feeling well these days......"
He hung his head in shame, red to the base of his neck.
"The old minister has no intention of offending, the old minister thinks that if His Majesty is interested, he can choose a group of good girls to enter the palace to fill the palace."
Zhu Yijun has a black line on his face. Are women that good? Why do men look at women the same way wolves see sheep? One is not enough, you have to get ten or eight of them?
A queen made him frown, if he chose another group of good girls to enter the palace, he would not be annoyed to death.
"Ahem, sir, let's talk about this matter again."
Zhang Juzheng was slightly displeased, but after all, this was the emperor's private matter, and he didn't have much to say before arching his hand and said: "In this case, the old minister will not disturb Your Majesty." The old minister retired. ”
After saying that, he got up and walked out of the hall.
