Chapter 321

After the mourning period, Zhao Bing was relieved of confinement.????Bi       Quge???? He suggested that his bedroom was too small, with only a dozen rooms unable to accommodate many of his entourages, and asked for expansion. Zhang Shijie agreed without thinking. This at least shows that His Majesty had planned to live here for a long time and had no intention of leaving. It was not an exaggeration to the emperor to improve his living environment. He immediately mobilized thousands of military and civilian assistance. In three days, a courtyard with more than 40 houses with complete functions and three roads for the emperor to live in.

Zhao Bing moved in without saying anything, but smiled bitterly in his heart, calling him a sarcastic Lord Zhang very meticulous. He expanded the palace city, but divided the harem into two parts, so that he and the Queen Mother could separate him from the east and west yards. Although the two were connected to each other, there was a three-meter-wide corridor in the middle. If you wanted to go there, you had to pass through this uncovered passage, and there was a guard post sent by Zhang Shijie and a patrol team responsible for the guards.

Zhang Shijie's design is very clever. He could put his hand into the palace city by doing this, but he would not conflict with the emperor's guards and the soldiers in front of the palace guards. Zhao Bing must take the empress dowager with him if he wants to run away, otherwise he could have the empress dowager abolished the emperor. But as long as he moves, he will be noticed by the post guard guarding the corridor and immediately warn the guards deployed outside the palace city. It would be impossible to take the empress dowager away again. Zhao Bing suffered a secret loss and could only laugh, but he didn't care, because he didn't want to run away yet.

But Zhang Shijie didn't think so, and did not relax his guard against the emperor. After His Highness ascended the throne, the generals of Qiongzhou not only immediately submitted a congratulatory form, but also asked to join the court to serve the king. He refused without thinking. In his opinion, the reason was purely to attract wolves into the house. The reason was also very direct and simple. The court's finances were in financial difficulties, and the supply of food and wages was insufficient, so they could not afford to support so many people. The group of people in the commander's mansion did not give up, and they failed to succeed in one plan. Since they did not allow them to enter the court, they would invite the court to join Qiong. Although they were not rich now, their lives could still be settled. Zhang Shijie refused even more. If he went to Qiongzhou, he would be a sheep and a tiger's mouth, so he immediately asked for an order to reject it.

A group of people in Qiongzhou made repeated unreasonable troubles, coupled with the mediocre and cowardly performance of His Majesty during these days, Zhang Shijie concluded that His Majesty was not as brave and wise as the outside world, but someone later manipulated His Majesty to make a god in order to prepare for usurping the throne. However, he did not expect that the former emperor would die so soon, and His Majesty, who had been in the past, became His Majesty with justification. Therefore, the people in Qiongzhou were very unwilling to accept it and still wanted to control His Majesty to seek power.

Zhang Shijie knew that if he refused forcibly, these people who had been thinking for a long time might be eager to enter the court to force his Majesty to hostage him. Thinking about the fact that they wanted to support the King of Guard as emperor, but for glory and wealth, they would give it to them themselves. So several priests discussed and thought that the generals of Qiongzhou would be rewarded with the help of His Majesty: Yingjie Yan Ying was awarded the title of Grand Secretary of Baomoge, the title of Minister of War, and the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and the commander of the military affairs of Qiongzhou; Jiang Qi was awarded the title of Bachelor of Longtuge and the title of Minister of Revenue; Gao Yingsong, Cai Wanyi and others all received the title of reward. The general of the general of the palace was awarded the title of the guards in front of the palace, Zhao Mengjin was the commander of the cavalry and infantry, and Liu Zhu was the commander of the navy, and he was awarded the title of General of the Guards.

After the imperial edict, a group of people in Qiongzhou stopped entering the court. But after they put on the thank-you form, they said that the waterway from Qiongzhou to Weizhou Island was very dangerous and the ships were difficult to transport food, so they refused to provide food and salary to the court, and even their former master ignored them. This made Zhang Shijie very angry, but he had no choice but to scold them in the hall for being unfaithful and unrighteous. The little emperor did not think it was a pestle, but instead smiled, making him feel very upset. It was not until His Majesty issued an order to scold them for being scolded by them.

June is approaching, and Zhao Bing has been emperor for more than 20 days. The only benefit he feels is that he eats much better than in Qiongzhou, and the rest is boredom. Not to mention the majesty of being in Qiongzhou, he can't speak out of the Eastern Palace now, but he still has to worry that the newly sent eunuchs and palace maids will make their own reports.

How could the emperor be so cowardly that Zhao Bing would not get angry? Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and did not get sick. He knew that there was a reason why he could not take power in charge of the government at a young age. Under the current system, he could not "do whatever he wanted" even if he took power. He had the final say in everything, which made him scold the brainless director of costume TV series for misleading his children...

When we look at ancient costume film and television works, we often feel that the monarch used to speak in a golden and jade word, and the words were imperial edicts, and the words were inscribed with a fairy constitution, right? If the emperor had a whim or wanted to do something, he would shout: "Transfer———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

In fact, the monarch's edict usually requires very strict procedures from drafting to taking effect. Zhao Bing knew that at least the Song Dynasty was like this. Under normal circumstances, the so-called "executives" were issued in the name of the emperor, and the emperor certainly had the power to directly instruct the edict. However, in a more common situation, the prime ministers first wrote their opinions into letters and submitted them to the emperor after court discussions. After they were recognized, the emperor would instruct the edict to be drafted.

Regardless of whether the decree comes from the emperor himself or the masters. According to the system of the Song Dynasty, when it enters the procedure of drafting edicts, it is generally drafted by the Zhongshu Sheren in the Secretariat Province, which does not mean that the emperor appointed a trusted eunuch to be completed with a stroke of his pen. The power and responsibilities of the Zhongshu Sheren are two kinds of power and responsibilities, namely, drafting the edict according to the emperor's will (citum). However, the Zhongshu Sheren in the Song Dynasty had another privilege: if he felt that the citation was illegal, whether the citation was from the emperor or the prime minister, he could refuse to draft the edict, which was called returning the citation.

If the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat returns the title of the poem, and the emperor stubbornly insists on issuing an edict, then the Secretariat of the Second Secretariat can also be given a title of the title of the Second Secretariat. Theoretically, as long as the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat reaches a consensus on refusing to draft the edict, an inappropriate edict can be strangled into the bud. In modern times, these people are just equivalent to the leadership's secretarial team. Ask who dares to be uneasy about writing the leader's meaning, and even a word wrong can make you suspend your post and reflect on it.

If the Zhongshu Sheren, who was responsible for drafting the edict, thinks that there is nothing wrong with the lyrics, or he is too lazy to do anything, he will draft the edict and write it very beautifully, and can submit it to the emperor's imperial painting (signed and copied it on yellow paper) and write it out. But this does not mean that the edict can be issued smoothly, and it must be promulgated by the Zhongshu Sheren. This involves another authority of the Zhongshu Sheren in the Song Dynasty: "Appoint the edict to be promulgated and executed according to the edict."

Since they are on duty in turn, the Zhongshu Sheren who drafted the edict may not be the same person as the Zhongshu Sheren who proclaimed the edict. If the Zhongshu Sheren who proclaimed the edict thinks that the edict is inappropriate, he still has the right to refuse to sign the edict, which is actually a rejection of the edict. If the Zhongshu Sheren who is responsible for proclaiming the edict has no objection, he can sign and pass it. This is called the Shushu Sheren, and then signed by the prime minister and went to the provincial government for review.

The provincial agency responsible for reviewing Huang's review was the Minister of State. The power to seal and refute edicts in the Song Dynasty was also legal. If he thought the edict was inappropriate, he had the power to seal and refute it and would not be approved. If the minister had no objection to Huang's review, he would sign his own name to indicate that the review was approved. This is called reading. If the minister of State did not read the book, the prime minister would sign the signature first, which would be illegal.

An imperial edict was first released and the secretary had to make trouble. If one of the six people was not his own, it might lead to premature death. Therefore, even if Zhao Bing took power, he could not even deal with several Zhongshushangers with his strength in the court. He was so angry that he had a stroke when he was making trouble with him every day. Therefore, the experience summarized by the child emperors of all generations was that if you want to take power, you had to establish a reliable secretary team before you could incur the affairs, otherwise no one would give you an idea and write an edict!

After three levels of edicts were made by the Secretariat, the book series and the book reading of the staff, if there were no problems, it could become a formal decree and handed over to the Secretariat for execution. However, as a formal decree, there must be a right minister's deputy signature, and if he refused to sign the edict, it would not take effect. Therefore, the left and right ministers must be their own people, otherwise they would have no tricks to play against you, so they would not be able to transfer teams all day long!

However, after the imperial edict came into effect, there was a last checkpoint - the censor. He also had the legal power to discuss the gains and losses of government orders, review the edicts, and even rectify the edicts. Therefore, he believed that the emperor was just a perfect saying, which was purely an imagination shaped by bloody TV series and feudal historical narratives.

Of course, the monarchs of the Song Dynasty could also bypass the statutory procedures such as drafting edicts by the Secretariat and reviewing the edicts for the clerks. They did not need to sign the prime minister's deputy signing and issued an edict directly. This is called a handwritten edict, which is internally surrendered and internally criticized. It is not uncommon in history. However, this kind of private purpose is not legal in law, and the government can completely refuse to implement it. This is why after the young emperor wrote a secret edict to Zhao Bing himself, he still kept asking 6 Xiufu to write another edict when he was seriously ill, because he knew that his letter would not be effective unless it was an extraordinary period.

Therefore, the issuance of an edict during the Song Dynasty had to go through multiple procedures: the emperor instructed the lyrics, drafted by the Zhongshu Sheren, recorded the Huang Xing, promulgated the sect, reviewed the sect, deputy signing of the prime minister, and impeached the censors. In the entire process, all links constituted institutional supervision and checks and balances over the monarch's power. The design of this system was aimed at the emperor in case he was given a ******, but Zhao Bing knew that things were both sides.

If the king is weak and the ministers are strong, there will be loopholes in this system. As long as you control any link, you may make a decree that is not conducive to you unable to form. The two sides confront each other and can only reconcile and concessions, and you can gain certain power. But now, just think about it, before taking power, you can only be the emperor who is in charge of the country and not the rule...

Zhao Bing knew his situation very well, so he made up his mind to ignore it. At every court meeting, the court discussion was like the "Hmph" guarding the gate of the Heavenly Palace. Apart from Humph, it was just ha, but he still couldn't help but get angry when facing what was happening in front of him. The area of ​​Weizhou Island is only a hundred miles in radius, and there are very few indigenous residents and only a thousand people. He can't afford such a huge team at all. Everything depends on external aid.

It has been two months of living on the island, and the harder the days are, but the Zhang Taifu, who was "tightened" with Chen and Chen, is really a little difficult to work with. Especially on major issues of life and death, he is more accustomed to being arbitrary. Why are you willing to "hold the government" with the newly promoted 6th Prime Minister? Now the situation is in danger, where can you go to the court? The 6th Prime Minister suggested to Queen Yang to move south to Qiongzhou. Zhang Shijie stubbornly wanted to go to Leizhou Zhan, so he attacked several times.

News just came today that Zhang Yingke, the general who fought against Leizhou, was defeated repeatedly and died in the city. Another general, Wang Yong, saw that he was not allowed to do anything, but was frightened by the strict order and did not dare to go back, so he surrendered to the Mongols. This made Zhang Shijie furious and wanted to lead the army to fight. Everyone could not stop admonishing him. He set off 20,000 soldiers and 500 warships to Leizhou in the morning.

"Idiot, reckless man, do it even though he knows it is impossible, which is different from dying!" Zhao Bing's words didn't work, and he could only return to his temper.

"Your Majesty, please don't hurt your body!" Wang De knew that Your Majesty was in a bad mood at a glance, so he quickly waved his hand to let all the idle people in the hall withdraw, leaving only the master and servant. He stepped forward and persuaded.

"Stop the anger, stop the anger?! Will you say anything else?" Zhao Bing turned and shouted at Wang De.

"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be better for Grand Tutor Zhang to conquer Leizhou!" Wang De's sweat scarf wiped the sweat beads on His Majesty's face and said with a smile.

"Bad, although there are not many enemy troops stationed in Leizhou, there are five thousand Tartar households stationed in Guangxi. He attacked in large numbers and the enemy troops can arrive in less than ten days. Not only is it difficult to win, but it will also expose the location of the dynasty. I am afraid that it will be difficult to settle here." Zhao Bing said unrelentingly.

"Your Majesty, if he wants to do it, what does it have to do with us? At worst, we will return to Qiongzhou." Wang De handed his Majesty the glass of water and said. Wang De thought that once his Majesty became His Majesty, he was competent as the minister of the Ministry of Eunuchs. At least he had the final say in the harem, but in fact it was not the case. Although Dou Xing in the Empress Dowager was the deputy, he still suppressed him. He not only controlled the West Palace, but also had to interfere in the affairs of the Eastern Palace. But now His Majesty has to listen to the Queen Mother, and he has no choice but to do anything about it. The reason is not on the other person's territory. If anyone dares to stare at him after returning to Qiongzhou, he hopes that Zhang Shijie will still fail.

"Hmph, a reckless man is not to be jealous of death, but what are the reasons for those soldiers? He lost his life just because of his intentions!" Zhao Bing looked at Wang De and snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty is right, but the Empress Dowager agrees. What can we do?" Wang De also sighed.
