The fourth day of February.

Baiguan received the notice that Zhao Guan's family was exempted from the court, and many people were relieved, after all, it was a big shame yesterday, and many people also asked for sick leave for this.

In addition, there were several draft edicts that were explained.

What is a draft edict? Edict, in layman's terms, is a holy decree.

A formal edict, from birth to execution, is not something that the emperor can come with one mouth, but has a set of strict processes.

There are two sources of will, one is the emperor's own will, and the other is the process of the prime minister's agency to the emperor, and the consent is obtained, so that the draft edict procedure can be entered.

According to the system of the Great Song Dynasty, first of all, the edict was drafted by the Zhongshu Sheren, called 'making words', the will was written on yellow paper, and the 'Huang' was down, and it was announced by the Zhongshu Sheren, and then it was reviewed by the provincial government, and then the prime minister countersigned before it could take effect, and finally if the Taiwan admonishment did not recognize the will, it would be impeached and recovered.

In these processes, the person who handles each process has the right to refute the will and let the will be aborted.

Of course, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty also bypassed these procedures and issued edicts directly, which were called 'hand edicts', 'internal surrenders', and 'internal approvals', but they did not have legitimacy.

Now this Zhao official family, generally speaking, is still more disciplined, and these edicts have gone through the two procedures of the Zhongshu Sheren in a formal manner.

One is to promote Wu Yanwei, who originally supervised the imperial history from the seventh grade, to serve the imperial history from the sixth grade, and his official position is one level higher than the original boss Ding Daquan.

Most officials were not happy with this draft edict, but they risked their lives to beat the striker, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it, and no one objected, so only the process remained.

One is to let Dong Huai, the governor of the political affairs, concurrently serve as the Privy Council Envoy of the Tongzhi, which is not graded, but it expands the power of affairs, which is considered a promotion, and at the same time it is also an omen of worship.

Baiguan felt that this appointment was a bit unreasonable at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that Dong Huai did not participate in the battle for the selection of the prince yesterday, so he understood a little, this is the attitude of the official family to praise him, and in addition, he still gave Prime Minister Uncle Xie Fang eye medicine.

Uncle Xie Fang's faction was naturally dissatisfied with this edict, but Dong Huai himself had this qualification, and he couldn't find fault with being an official, and he had no reason to oppose it.

The third is that Cheng Yuanfeng, the secretary of the original Ministry of Justice, was regularized, and he was specially awarded the Duanming Palace Bachelor and signed the Privy Council, which should have nothing to do with yesterday's incident, because there were rumors before that Cheng Yuanfeng was going to be promoted, and it was not unexpectedly approved.

The fourth part means that since all the officials have suggested that the official family re-elect the prince, the official family has also accepted it, but after all, this is related to the national capital, and it cannot be sloppy, so the scope of selection should be expanded, as long as it is a clan of the right age and age, regardless of kinship, it should be a candidate.

This matter was negotiated by Uncle Xie Fang, Dong Huai, and Cheng Yuanfeng to come up with the charter, and then Ma Guangzu, the secretary of the household department and the governor of Lin'an Mansion, and the pacification envoy of Xi'an, Zhejiang, were the main ones, and Ye Mengding and Yang Dong were the deputies, responsible for the specific implementation, and finally let Wu Yan, Ding Daquan, and Hong Tianxi, the three people of the Yushitai be responsible for supervision.

In the face of this edict, the hundred officials only felt that their scalps were numb, and almost all the main factions in the court and the central government were included.

For a while, the council hall was noisy again, expressing their opposition, and then arguing and arguing and began to attack each other again.

Because of yesterday's incident, the contradictions between the ministers have been made public, and after the rift occurs, it is difficult to maintain a superficial appearance with Mu in the short term, and the battle will enter the white heat, and there are signs of repeating yesterday's scene.

"Enough!" Uncle Xie Fang stood up and shouted angrily, "You still don't think you lost enough yesterday, right?" ”

Under the authority of the prime minister, the hundred officials slowly put out the fire, but they still stared at their political opponents like cockfights.

Uncle Xie Fang continued to scold, "Noise can solve the problem!?" If you have any opinions on this edict, put it forward directly, as long as it is justified and refuted, but do you have any reason to oppose it!? ”

All the officials were dumb, and they were all deflated, yes, what reason is there to oppose it, isn't this what everyone asks the officials to do, and the person in charge can't say any strong opinions and suggestions from the surface.

"What is the purpose of my waiting? It is to choose a suitable heir for the Great Song Sheji as soon as possible, if it continues to be noisy and fighting, when will it be realized!? What do you say that so-and-so's opinion is the adoption of this edict? ”

Uncle Xie Fang just wants to cut through the mess quickly and implement this major event led by him as soon as possible, otherwise with the urine of civil officials, the fight can be delayed until the next year.

So under Uncle Xie Fang's strong request, this edict was also passed, and the whole process was finally completed.

"Tingzhi, Shen Fu, the three of us will go to the political hall later and come up with a draft of the charter."

Uncle Xie Fang left Dong Huai and Cheng Yuanfeng behind and drove the other ministers back to his office.

Thinking of the next, even if there were only three people left, there would still be disputes, Uncle Xie Fang felt a headache, when did this official family become so treacherous?

……

The offices of the six departments were together, and Ye Mengding and Yang Dong walked back together.

Yang Dong opened his mouth and said, "Zhenzhi, do you think today's edicts are weird? ”

"Yes, I think so, according to the usual temperament of the official, everything is important, how can I make such a complicated and difficult personnel, I see, this charter for the election of the prince is not something that can be taken out in a while."

"You said that this official family, did he not really want to re-elect the prince at all, but played with a strategy of retreating?"

Ye Mengding was stunned for a moment, then gasped, "Hiss...... Yuanji, you really have such a flavor when you say this, but when the official family encountered tricky things before, it was more about evasion and delay, and it seems that such a method has not been used. ”

Yang Dong said leisurely, "After all, the official family has been in power for more than 30 years, and the imperial means must be there, but they were too lazy to use it in the past, and this time they were forced to the palace, I am afraid that I can't swallow this breath in my heart, just yesterday's incident, I think it was also intentional by the official family......

Ye Mengding couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Eighty percent is it, I really can't think about this matter deeply, a certain feeling is hairy, but in this way, the throne of King Zhong is worry-free for a while, which can be regarded as a good thing." ”

"Sort of." Yang Dong's brows soothed a little, "This matter is too involved, it's hard to say how it will be in the future, let's take one step at a time." ”

"I don't know how King Zhong's injuries are recovering, and I haven't been summoned to teach."

"Let's wait, with the qualifications of the loyal king, it doesn't matter if classes resume one day earlier or one day later......"

The two of them talked all the way, and they didn't think that those tricks that were a little yin were all from their good students.

……

Goshidai.

Although Wu Yan has not yet received a new farewell, he can no longer hide the smug smile on his face.

It seems that he has only been promoted from the seventh grade to the sixth grade, which is only a difference of one grade, and the starting grade is not high, but the official quality of this Great Song Dynasty is originally low, and the power is not the official quality, but the dispatch in his hands.

Imperial history, the hand of supervision, even in other dynasties, is often a lowly power.

The prefect of the Imperial Historical Observatory is the Imperial History Zhongcheng of the Third Grade, but he does not directly manage the Imperial Historical Observatory, and the current Zhongcheng is old and sickly, and he has rarely appeared even in the early dynasties recently.

And the servant Yushi is the one who is really in charge of the affairs of the Yushi Tower, so it is no wonder that Wu Yan is proud.

"Ziwan, see when it's convenient, you and I will hand over the affairs of the Taiwan Academy."

Wu Yan called Ding Daquan, Ding Daquan is the palace servant of the imperial history, in charge of the affairs of the palace, but before the vacancy of the imperial history, he was also in charge of the affairs of the Taiwan Academy, originally he was expected to be promoted to the imperial history in the short term, but he did not expect to be backstabbed by the former younger brother and snatched away.

At this time, he was very embarrassed when he heard Wu Yan actually call him directly, not only was his name taboo in the Song Dynasty, but his words were not called easily, and he was generally called a subordinate by a superior, or he had a very good personal relationship between his peers.

Now Wu Yan dares to call him like this, not only is it a kind of villain's rampantness, but also implicitly humiliates him, but he can't refute this matter openly, after all, although Wu Yan is not his direct superior, his rank and position are indeed higher than him.

"Imperial Envoy Wu seems to be a little anxious, according to the rules, if you want to hand over, you have to wait for the official issuance of the edict, as a Taiwanese admonition, you can set an example and take the lead in complying with the discipline."

Ding Daquan threw a soft nail and came out, which made Wu Yan uncomfortable, "You! …… Hum! "After being annoyed and angry, he threw up his sleeves and left!

Looking at Wu Yan's back, Ding Daquan whispered hatred, "It's just a rootless Ping, see how long you can be proud!" When the time comes, I'll let you know how powerful a certain family is! ”

……

Ciyuan Hall in the palace.

Yan Guifei had just finished receiving acupuncture from Imperial Physician Chong, and felt that her body, especially her lower abdomen, was warm, and she felt more and more that she was very likely to conceive.

"It's hard work, the standard has always been clear in rewards and punishments, you can rest assured that Ling Lang is doing well now, as long as he is really successful, the position will not only give you a chubby and unscathed son, but also a heavy reward!"

Doctor Chong put away the silver needle, and said resignedly, "There is Concubine Lao to take care of the dog, the lower officials do their part, they don't dare to ask for extravagant rewards, it is the honor of the lower officials to help the concubine achieve her wishes, in order to have the best curative effect, I hope that the concubine will remember to take the medicine on time, five times a day, don't miss it." ”

After Lu Yunsheng sent Imperial Doctor Chong away, he led Dong Songchen in not long after.

"Yo, why is Daguan Dong here, you don't have to serve the official family?" Yan Guifei was a little surprised, and pretended to be a little close in her politeness.

Dong Songchen finished saluting, "Back to the concubine, the official family is having a feast, Lin Xiyi, who is lecturing, doesn't like the little one who is crippled, so he drove the little one out, and the little one thought that he hadn't seen the concubine for a few days, so he took advantage of this time to greet you." ”

"You have a heart, did this official say when he came to see me, a poor man?" Yan Guifei pretended to complain.

Dong Songchen was a little embarrassed, and thought to himself, aren't you making this gesture to me, a rootless person, to flatter the blind?

However, he also understood the meaning of Yan Guifei's words, "The official family has been busy these days, and if he is a little free, the little one will definitely persuade him to come over as soon as possible." ”

"Oh, I have time to open a feast and listen to those false truths, but I don't have time to see the person next to my pillow......"

This kind of complaining about the official family, Dong Songchen directly ignored it, "Concubine, the little one is here, in fact, there are important things to report." ”

Hearing this, Yan Guifei immediately became a little more serious and sat up straight, "Oh? Why do you have to come in person!? ”

"Concubine, although the official family agreed to the request of the foreign court, according to the small one, I am afraid that it is a little tiresome here, and the official family does not seem to have any intention of giving up the loyalty to the king."

"Huh!? How do you say that? ”

"Since King Zhong woke up, the official family has not only increased the use of Qingyan Palace, but also spent a long time alone in the study with King Zhong yesterday, and when he came out, he was in a significantly better mood."

Yan Guifei's face was a little ugly, "What can he do if he is alone with a fool for a long time?" ”

"Concubine, since King Zhong woke up, I'm afraid that something has changed, and he may no longer be as stunned as before, and he humiliated Xiao Yi that day, looking like that, he is sharper than ordinary people."

"There's such a thing!? How could a fool suddenly get better, it can't be that he was woken up by Taishang Laojun in a dream. Yan Guifei was skeptical.
