Chapter 314: The Strange Edict
Should not be intentional to say that it can be solved, Wen Liang is naturally happy.
"How, do you need my help?"
"It is indeed needed, so to speak, that only His Majesty can do this, and it has to be done at a cost. β
"It doesn't matter, as long as this matter can be done, Ying Dacai is still a great achievement, and I will increase the reward later. Wen Liang smiled.
Knowing that the young man in front of him loves money, Wen Liang felt that this was even easier to do, as the emperor, the last thing he lacked was money.
Ying Wuxin frowned and said, "However, this matter requires some special steps to achieve the final goal, is Your Majesty willing to believe in the grass people?"
Wen Liang smiled: "Naturally believe it." β
In fact, Wen Liang has already thought about it in his heart, even if he fails, as long as the second brother is still alive, his reputation will not be worse, and he should have no intention of publicly agreeing to compose poems on his birthday, which is equivalent to showing his loyalty and believing that he will not do stupid things.
"Since Your Majesty believes it, can you let the grass people pass an edict to the local government on behalf of Your Majesty?"
"Yes. β
"Your Majesty can't know the contents, and you can't let the other ministers who drafted the edict reveal the news, all in all, this edict can't be circulated in the imperial court or the royal capital, and everyone who sees it must keep it secret, even Your Majesty can't tell it, including the Daozun ancestor of His Majesty's royal family. "There should be no heart.
Wen Liang's eyes narrowed dangerously, this is to carry himself to issue an edict, once the content in it is unfavorable to him, it has already spread in the local area, and he has no way to end it.
At this moment, Wen Liang seriously suspected that Ying Wuxin was a guy with ill intentions.
"If so, wouldn't it be easy for you to slander me?"
Ying Wuxin smiled proudly, and said with a bit of pride on his face: "Your Majesty, the grass people are not stupid, people are still in the royal capital, wouldn't it be self-defeating to do such a thing." β
"Daozun behind your back, if you want to leave, who can stop you?"
"Hehe, yes, but Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better for the grass people to really have such a will to write an article? β
Wen Liang was suffocated, and he couldn't speak anymore, it's true, in the name of Ying Wuxin, if you want to frame yourself as an emperor, it's easier to write an article, and there is no need to use the means of issuing an edict on behalf of you, although you don't know it, but the bachelor who drafted the edict in the cabinet is not a fool, and they will definitely not write it if it is too much, and they dare not write it.
"Does it have to be like this?" asked Wen Liang.
"Your Majesty thinks there is another way, so he didn't say anything. β
Wen Liang sighed softly, if there was another way, it would have been used a long time ago, why wait until now.
"Old Ancestor, do you think this is feasible?"
"It's weird, but you can give it a try, and with the cabinet of bachelors, it shouldn't be a big problem. β
"In that case, trouble the ancestor to avoid it for the time being. β
"Good. β
Wen Liang got up and said, "The ancestor has already avoided it, I ordered it to go down, and if you have anything to say in a while, just say it to Yang Shuyu." β
Wen Liang walked out of the room and whispered a few words to the chief eunuch at the door.
Yang Shuyu's face changed for a while, but he still nodded and said, "The old slave obeys." β
With apprehension and nervousness, Yang Shuyu walked into the imperial study, leaned on the couch on the side with no intention of speaking, and threw out a letter.
"Write the contents of this into an edict and send it to the locality, and all the first three days of Your Majesty's birthday will be publicized. β
Yang Shuyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, only then did she realize that her throat was dry and hoarse, so she hurriedly took the envelope and nodded: "Don't worry, the old slave will definitely do it." β
"Don't leak the news, when it's done, you will naturally have some credit. β
After Ying Wuxin finished speaking, he got up and left, and when he arrived at the door, he turned around and said: "Tell Your Majesty, the grass people will go back first, and you will have to conceive poems for Your Majesty." β
"The old slave sent you. β
"No need, it's important that you hurry up and get down to business. "You should go away without intention.
Thinking that the contents of this letter were about to be sent to various places in the Jin Kingdom as an edict, but His Majesty did not know the contents at all, Yang Shuyu felt that this envelope was extremely heavy and extremely hot.
Wen Liang leaned over and looked at it curiously.
"Your Majestyβ" Yang Shuyu hurriedly held up the letter.
"What are you doing for me, didn't you say it? I can't know the content of this, you send it to the cabinet, just do what you should have said, I also want to see, what trick is he going to play?"
At this moment, as the emperor, he felt that he had been fooled by Ying Wuxin, but there was no way to resist, and the anger in his heart inevitably rushed upward.
Seeing that His Majesty was about to get angry, Yang Shuyu immediately retreated with interest, and according to His Majesty's instructions, he sent the letter to the cabinet, and explained it sternly, before the bachelor copied the contents of the letter into an edict.
In the process of transcribing, the bachelor's face changed for a while, but thinking of His Majesty's explanation, he held back, wrote it honestly, and handed over the edict.
Yang Shuyu took the edict and sent it to the other side for review by several scholars.
This edict was originally drafted by several scholars, submitted to their superiors for review, and then issued, but sometimes it was unavoidably special.
Wen Liang was relatively strong, and the scholars also changed their way of doing things, and the edict of His Majesty's own will was written according to His Majesty's will, and they finally checked for errors and omissions and released it.
Several scholars listened to Yang Shuyu's explanation, took the edict with suspicious faces, and after reading it for a while, their faces changed, but when they thought of the explanation, they still endured it, and confirmed that there were no wrong words, obvious ambiguities and other bad meanings, and passed the edict to the colleagues next to them to check.
Several bachelors all changed their expressions like this, but because of Yang Shuyu's explanation, they couldn't speak, so they could only endure it.
Although Yang Shuyu guessed before coming that he would most likely encounter this situation, but when he really encountered it, he was still very curious and strange in his heart, what should he have written and why these bachelors are like this.
The scholars did not object, it was obvious that this content would not have obvious disadvantages to His Majesty, this was confirmed, and Yang Shuyu was already relieved.
But the strange looks of the bachelors always made Yang Shuyu feel that her heart was not steady enough.
However, there was a holy order, and he couldn't check it, so he had to wait for the results honestly.
After a while, several scholars finished the review, made notes on the side, and then stamped the edict and sent it back, and Yang Shuyu took it and went to the issuance office.
Originally, he didn't do these jobs, but Ying Wuxin said that it must be completed as soon as possible, knowing the ink on the cabinet's side, Yang Shuyu had no choice but to come by himself, anyway, His Majesty is sometimes impatient, and the edict will be issued like this, he is used to it.
At noon, a peculiar edict was distributed from the royal capital, and the flying eagles of the imperial court were sent to the county towns as quickly as possible, and then distributed downward.
It is said that the edict is peculiar because the emperor who issued the edict did not know the content, and the only few scholars who knew the content could not speak to the outside world.
