In the Wenhua Palace, looking at the yawning prince on the throne, the ministers exchanged their heads and talked about it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After some 'eyebrow exchanges', Fang Congzhe still made a list of rules and advised, "Your Highness is about to ascend the throne, which is related to the well-being of the common people of the sect society. After retiring to the deep palace, Neifu also advised His Royal Highness to often read the scriptures and history, not just to play, and to avoid slackness. ”

Ye Xiang said that he was suffering, he read the ceremony after watching the music last night, he tossed too late, and was picked up by Gao Hong again this morning, and then ran as usual, didn't he feel tired after tossing this young body?

Ye Xiang listened to Fang Congzhe's words, and dared everyone to think that he had returned to Ciqing Palace to just play, so he retorted, "This palace was a little tired yesterday when I read the recitals and canons handled by the imperial examination, and I was a little tired, and my body has been weak until I lost my manners, so I should pay more attention to it in the future." The ministers are the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and the officials are the eyes and ears of the department, and they will rely on you to deal with the government in the future, so you must also take care of your body and don't be too tired. ”

Wang Chengen also explained, "My lords, Your Highness didn't go to bed until midnight yesterday when you read a book, and this morning you ran twice on the Forbidden City Wall before you entered the palace, not to mention that Your Highness is still young, even the slave maid is a little drowsy at the moment in the prime of life. ”

After all, the prince is still young, and it is already impressive to be able to take the initiative to learn, so he doesn't dare to ask for too much, and after communicating in a low voice, he said in a mess His Highness to take care of the Holy Communion and other comforting words.

Ye Xiang knew that any of his actions in the future would be put under the microscope, and there were many people staring at him, and if he was not careful, he would be on the line and raised to the height of national security, he must always be cautious in his words and deeds, and become strong as soon as possible.

After pacifying the people, he began to deal with daily government affairs, which was more casual because it was not an official court meeting. Seeing Zhang Weixian take the opportunity to walk to the throne and kneel, he put on the advice note with both hands, this is the third time to persuade Ye Xiang to enter the emperor's throne, and said in a low voice, "The great calendar has returned, and it must be the Zuo of Shaoyao, and the group is allowed to belong, and it is appropriate to inherit the foundation of Yu...... His Royal Highness looks up to the emperor, Zhao accepts the chastity talisman, and the contemplation of the nine temples should be blessed by the three spirits...... The ministers have no responsibility, and they pay homage. ”

Napoleon said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, Ye Xiang thought that a time-traveler who didn't want to be an emperor was an unqualified crosser, and he knew that this was a necessary step for the good-looking Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to ascend to the pole, and it was for the world to see. In the past, every emperor had to go through three times of hard persuasion from his ministers before pretending to be reluctant to put on his own tailor-made crown clothes. This is the same as the red envelopes given by the elders during the Chinese New Year, which needs to be pushed to make things look less red and full of rituals. Who put us in the state of etiquette, hehe.

Although the text was crepe, Wang An and the other celebrants had already helped Ye Xiang think of a response, so he got up and left the throne to take the persuasion note from the British duke, and helped it up, and glanced at everyone again, and then said cautiously, "Qing and other conjunctive pleadings, until the third, I have learned, loyalty is the most important position, honesty is difficult for a long time, and the situation is bowing to the end, I dare not be stubborn, and I reluctantly obey what I invited." ”

There should be applause here, but no, Ye Xiang saw dozens of central ministers of the imperial court playing crowns to celebrate, during this time, Sun Ruyou of the Ministry of Rites came out and said, "The cabinet has decided the danger early, and the enthronement ceremony will be held on the sixth day of the first month, what does His Highness think?" ”

Ye Xiang also cooperated with the acting, and said, "Everyone Aiqing is full of sincerity, and this palace is terrified. Only the place where the ceremony was held, since the selection of the attendant has moved out of the Qianqing Palace, the palace means that the enthronement ceremony will be selected in the Qianqing Palace. ”

Sun Ruyou said after receiving the decree, "In addition, today is the death anniversary of Empress Xiaogongzhang, and it is customary to send someone to Jingling to pay respects. ”

Ye Xiang didn't understand what Sun Ruyou mentioned, and he didn't understand until Wang An whispered in his ear. It turned out that Empress Xiaogongzhang Sun was Empress Xuanzong, and Zhu Zihong was a descendant of Zhu Rong, Marquis of Wujin when he became an ancestor, and he was knighted in the 40th year of Wanli. Zhu Rong once accompanied Mu Ying to conquer Yunnan, and after surrendering to Zhu Di when guarding Daning, he participated in the Jingjing martyrdom and was knighted. By Zhu Zihong's generation, there was no courage of the ancestors. At the time of the temple, Zhu Zihong's father Zhu Tianjue was in charge of the military governor's mansion, and only the title was left in his generation.

The Ming Dynasty sent honors and nobles to engage in sacrifices on behalf of the people has always been a practice, for the current public waiting, Ye Xiang has only seen the British princess, other royal relatives, nobles have not yet had time, he naturally accepted Sun Ruyou's invitation, and told that similar sacrifices will be drafted by the Ministry of Rites in the future, and it can be played.

Next, in addition to the preparation of the superintendent in the Qianqing Palace before ascending to the pole, there is also the country name and the edict of ascending the pole, which are also drafted by the Like and the cabinet, and then handed over to the prince to decide.

After returning to Ciqing Palace, Ye Xiang immersed himself in hard study as usual, trying to truly integrate into this world as soon as possible, until Lu Shou interrupted him with a person who claimed to be Yuan Keli, the minister of Shangbao Division.

Treasure seal, talisman, seal for the emperor "the world, to win the trust of the people" certificate, unlike the later generations of science and technology developed, everyone knows the head of state, in this era of inconvenient communication, the seal is the only evidence of the exercise of power. Therefore, the gold and silver talismans are all imperial court tokens, which are kept by the female official Shangbao in the Ouchi, which is the place of confidentiality.

There are 24 jade seals of the emperor alone in charge of the female officials of the inner division, of which 17 are handed down by the ancestors, and the other 7 are added during the Jiajing period.

"The treasure of the emperor Fengtian", for the Tang and Song Dynasty seals, used to worship heaven and earth. If the edict and pardon are used, the "emperor's treasure" is used; canonization and labor, then use "the emperor's treasure"; Prince Zhao, ministers and troop transfers, use "Emperor Xinbao"; the honorable number, then use "the treasure of the emperor's relatives"; The prince is "the treasure of the emperor's relatives", which has 2 large and small pieces.

"The Treasure of the Son of Heaven" to worship mountains and rivers, ghosts and gods; "The Son of Heaven Travels Treasures" to seal foreign countries and bestow labor; "The Son of Heaven Xinbao", in order to recruit foreign services and levy hair.

The edict uses the "treasure of the system"; Use the "Treasure of Destiny"; reward the ministers, with the "treasure of Guangyun"; These three are the most used.

The edict to the pilgrim officials was used to "respect the heavens and the treasure of the people"; If it is "the treasure of the imperial front", "the treasure of the history of the table and seal", and "the treasure of the Qinwen", then the book literature and history are used.

The jade seals added by Jiajing include "Fengtian Carrying the Treasure of the Great Tomorrow", "The Treasure of the Ming Dynasty", "The Treasure of Patrolling the World", "The Treasure of Training", "The Treasure of Destiny", "The Treasure of Revenge and the People", and "The Treasure of the People".

The "six bureaus and one division" of the Ming Dynasty were all filled by female officials, and the selection was extremely strict, they were between 15 and 40 years old, and they were from a good family in the Jiangnan area, and they were required to be familiar with history and algorithms.

can be selected as a female official of Shangbao, then she must be of high character and respected in the palace, mostly known as a female gentleman or female princess, and is mostly treated by the harem concubines as a teacher, they are the most qualified and talented outstanding women in this era.

It is precisely because of the female officials' ability and political integrity and strict self-discipline that there is no record of female officials participating in the palace struggle for power in the Ming Dynasty, of course, part of it is also due to the strict regulations on the use of jade seals in the Ming Dynasty.

In order to prevent the abuse of the important weapons of the state, the Ming Dynasty implemented a dual internal and external management system like other institutions, and set up Shang Bao Si in the outer court to be responsible for the use of seals, and Shang Bao eunuchs with the same function outside the Great Inner Xihua Gate to transmit and monitor Shang Bao Si's use of treasures.

In case of treasure, Shang Bao Si went to Shang Bao Prison with a post, the eunuch asked for the order, and then went to the internal department to collect it, and Shang Bao sent someone to follow up and supervise the whole process.

Every time there is a big court meeting, Shang Baosi will send two officials to enshrine the treasure in the imperial case and wait for the palace. When the emperor goes out, Shang Baosi also has to send someone to serve the treasure with him.

To sum up, the female official of Shangbao is responsible for safekeeping, Shangbao is responsible for managing and using, and Shangbao supervisor is responsible for supervising the transmission, thus forming a complete set of seal system to prevent fraud and facilitate the emperor's centralization of power.

Yuan Keli's Shang Bao Division has one Qing, one Shaoqing, and three Si Cheng, because they can always approach the emperor, so several positions in Shang Bao Si are coveted by foreign ministers. For example, Yan Song at the time of the temple once commuted his son Yan Shifan to become the Shaoqing of Shangbaosi smoothly, and demoted Zheng Xiao, who opposed Wen Xuanlang, to the same knowledge of Hezhou.

When Yuan Keli was the governor of Suzhou Prefecture, he tried the "Huzhou Case" that almost caused a popular uprising and caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, and when he was promoted to the supervision of the imperial history of Shanxi Province, he resisted the decree of the temple and killed the bullying courtiers, and did not forget to educate the local government when he returned to his hometown, and also presided over the restoration of the city of Suijun, and was a capable minister. So Zhu Changluo once praised him, "One day resists sparseness, and the second era returns to the field." Speak without saying anything, and be ashamed of the name of the Han people's party; Don't forget the king, there is the wind of Chu Yin ruining the family. And after ascending to the pole, he was promoted to Shangbao Si Cheng to show his favor.

Ye Xiang has been at the top of the empire for the past few days, and all he has seen are national bigwigs. At first, I saw that there was nothing special about it, so I didn't care, but when I heard him call himself Yuan Keli, I knew that I was holding it up, so I immediately got up and helped him up and looked at it carefully.

Yuan Keli's face is white and beardless, his facial features are well-defined, and his eyes are dark and deep, if he doesn't look at his clothes carefully, Ye Xiang still thinks that he is a eunuch. This is as famous as Sun Chengzong, a capable minister who can help the crisis and save the world.

Ye Xiang took his hand and said with a smile, "You are Yuan Keli?" I thought you should be a general who can carry a sword and straddle a horse and fight the enemy to the death. ”

"Your Highness, the minister is just a scholar, and he can't fight in battle, but it is incumbent on him to assist the king in governing a peaceful world. Weichen is here to ask His Royal Highness to send Xu Guoquan to Liaodong as soon as possible. ”

"Do you know this Xu Guoquan?"

"Don't hide it from Your Highness, this person is recommended by Weichen to the Ministry of War, Liaodong Jiannu has attacked my Daming city many times, plundered the people, our army and civilians have suffered countless casualties, and the longer the war drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for our dynasty, rather than let it sit big, if you don't strangle it in infancy as soon as possible."

Ye Xiang seemed to feel that something was wrong there, and asked, "Do you think just one Xu Guoquan is enough?" ”

"Xu Guoquan Yunwen Yunwu is a general. He has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he is full of enthusiasm for serving the country, which can be reused. Yuan Keli took a step back and continued with a disappointed face, "Emperor Daxing has sent internal funds to help border soldiers many times, which shows that he attaches great importance to it. His Royal Highness, as the son of man, is about to inherit the unification, and should uphold the will of Emperor Daxing, pacify Liaodong as soon as possible, and return peace to the people of the world. ”
