Everything has been arranged, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

It's just that along with the east wind, it was several scholars in the cabinet, as well as Kuang Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Shoufu Cao Nai got straight to the point and said: "Your Majesty, it is a major event to go out to visit Mobei, and it needs to be decided by the court, how can you make a decree?" ”

The so-called Zhongzhi originated in the Tang Dynasty and referred to an edict issued directly by the inner court without being under the Zhongshu Sect.

Generally speaking, a holy decree is an official edict issued by the imperial court, which must be jointly approved by the emperor and the imperial court before it can take effect.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, the largest authority was Zhongshu Province, to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished Zhongshu Province, and he merged the life of the emperor and the prime minister, and when he arrived in the Yongle Dynasty, Zhu Di really couldn't do it, and he didn't dare to abolish the ancestral system easily, so he secretly changed the concept and delegated part of the work to the cabinet.

During the Zhirenxuan period, the power of the cabinet Sanyang increased day by day, and gradually developed into a new Zhongshu province.

Therefore, the decree of the Ming Dynasty was drawn up by the cabinet and sealed by the celebrant before it took effect.

If the emperor wants to issue a holy decree, it must be approved by the cabinet before it can be stamped by the celebrant and celebrant, and this process is called vote drafting.

The general process is that several members of the cabinet vote, who is in favor and who is against, and finally depends on the result and whether it is passed.

If you pass successfully, just continue with the process.

However, there is also the possibility that the number of people who voted against it will be in the majority.

If this happens, the cabinet will seal up the decree and the results of the vote and return it to the emperor, which is called a return.

In other words, the emperor did not give an edict if he wanted to, but also had to see whether the cabinet passed it.

Every decree must be prepared by the imperial court and signed by a cabinet scholar before it can be legally valid.

Such a system is to restrain the imperial power, prevent the abuse of imperial power, and at the same time prevent the ministers from being in power and causing trouble to the court.

However, there is one kind of decree that is more special, and that is the middle decree.

This kind of decree is issued directly by the emperor, and the cabinet has no votes to be recorded, and there is no archive, so theoretically speaking, it can be counted.

If the court officials don't buy the emperor's account, they can even return the holy decree, how did you send it, how can I send it back to you.

Therefore, the Cabinet was firmly opposed to the Emperor's act of issuing a decree, and it was absolutely not allowed to issue a decree unless it was a decree to pardon a foreign relative and to confer favors.

When the emperor naturally does not want to contradict the ministers, the holy decree represents the supreme imperial power, and it is not allowed to be played.

Even if you kill people afterwards, you won't be able to get your face back.

Just as the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites were discussing matters related to the Holy Driver's tour of Mobei, they suddenly heard that the emperor had issued a decree agreeing to go on patrol, and they were as uncomfortable as eating flies.

Cao Nai didn't even say polite words, and when he came up, he asked the teacher for guilt, wanting to ask for an explanation.

Zhu Qizhen slowly turned his head, looked at Huai En beside him, and said coldly: "You have a lot of mouths?" ”

"Ah...... I...... Slaves don't have it......"

Wynne's face turned pale with fright, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

At this time, he screamed in his heart, although the holy decree was sent by me, but the news was not leaked by me!

And also...... Why do you say again?

Zhu Qizhen ignored him and said to Cao Nai: "I didn't go to war when I went out to patrol Mobei, and the ministers discussed it back and forth, but there was no result, and I was so irritable that I made an order directly." ”

Cao Nai explained: "The emperor's tour of Mobei is a major event, first of all, the Ministry of Rites needs to send officials to inform the local officials to do a good job of reception, and at the same time, the imperial court must prepare a guard of honor for traveling......

Zhu Qizhen patiently listened to him babbling for a long time, and then said, "Actually...... You don't have to go through the hassle, just bring some guards. ”

"The emperor's words are wrong, how can it be child's play?"

Cao Nai didn't give Zhu Qizhen a chance to explain at all, and directly refused sternly.

Zhang Yi then said: "Your Majesty, please think twice!" ”

Kuang Wei came up and said, "If the emperor insists on going out on patrol, the old minister is willing to take the lead!" ”

Zhu Qizhen pursed his lips and said, "I went to inspect, and I didn't fight, what kind of battle are you fighting?" ”

Kuang Yu immediately said: "Inspecting the place also needs to be explored in advance, in case someone plots against him, there will be some accident in the emperor, and it will hurt the country!" ”

"Can't you hope for me?"

Zhu Qizhen said this, but he thought in his heart that there were indeed people plotting against him, and I wanted to give them a chance to take advantage of it.

The expression on Kuang Yu's face was a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly explained: "The old minister is quick to speak for a while, and there are many abrupt words between them, and I hope the emperor will not be surprised." ”

Cao Nai also said: "What Kuang Shangshu said is not unreasonable, such a big matter, you must not be hasty, and ask the emperor to think twice, temporarily withdraw the holy decree, and wait for the ministers to discuss it before making plans." ”

Zhu Qizhen's face was embarrassed, and he said: "This holy decree has been issued, and people have also accepted it, and now I take it back, I am afraid that it will be changed one day......

Kuang Yu came up again and said, "Your Majesty, this is called making up for the dead, how can it be a change of order?" ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, his face was very entangled, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Huai En observed his words and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "What did Kuang Shangshu say, the emperor didn't make a mistake, what kind of prison did he make?" ”

Kuang Yu thought for a while, bowed his head and said, "The old minister is abrupt again......"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "I already know the purpose of your family's coming here today, so I will do what you said, Huai'en, go and take back the holy decree, and wait for the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites to agree, and then make plans!" ”

"Yes!"

Wynne agreed, got up and walked out of the hall.

"Hey!"

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen hurriedly stopped him: "You wait first!" ”

Wynne stood still, bowed and said, "What else does the emperor command?" ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at Cao Nai and said, "Does the cabinet have any objections?" ”

Cao Nai saluted and said: "The emperor is sage, and the ministers have no objections. ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at Kuang Yu again: "What about the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Kuang Yu hurriedly said: "The old minister is no problem, so I will go back and prepare." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "That Qiqi Ke is still waiting in the Beijing Division, you should speed up the agenda!" ”

"Yes!"

Cao Nai and others saluted and retired, and returned to Wenyuan Pavilion to vote.

Seeing this, Wynne hurriedly said, "The slave and maid will go and take back the holy decree." ”

Zhu Qizhen's face suddenly changed, and he said, "Can I take back the holy decree I sent out?" ”

"Huh?"

Wynne was completely dumbfounded, what the hell do you want?

Didn't you just say you wanted to take it back, did I hear it wrong?

Zhu Qizhen said: "You go to the Beizhen Mansion Division now and call Yuan Bin over!" ”

"Yes!"

Wynne walked out in a daze, still wondering if his memory was wrong......

"Come back!"

"Ah...... Be! ”

Wynne turned, his expression blank.

Zhu Qizhen asked, "If others ask, what do you say?" ”

Wynne scratched his head and asked, "What should the slave say?" ”
