Chapter Nineteen Early Attached Phoenix Wings Climbing Dragon Scales (5)

Zhu Cilang did not take a nap as he wished.

First, an eunuch came to the palace, and Empress Xuan ordered him to return to the palace immediately. Of course, Zhu Cilang refused to agree. He would rather gather a group of civil and military officials who did not know the truth and fled to Nanjing than step into the Forbidden City.

Fortunately, the emperor's imperial edict was followed by the imperial edict, which clearly ordered the seven ministers and the prince to leave the palace to pacify the army, and ordered the orders to assist. With this imperial edict, Zhu Cilang could finally ignore the imperial edict of his mother with confidence. However, thinking about the two edicts in just a quarter of an hour, it seemed that the palace would have to make trouble for a few days.

The seven ministers in the Ming Dynasty refer to the six ministers and the left and right commanders. Because the "right posts" such as the Right Commander or the Right Commander are often given titles to the chief officials of the border, and they are used to coordinate local judicial, administrative, and discipline inspections, and are not in the capital, so there are only six ministers and one left commander in the capital, and there are still seven.

The Seven Ministers were the main officials of the Ming Dynasty, and all the emperor's decrees were sent to the Seven Ministers by the cabinet. Moreover, there were often cabinet ministers who were also officials of the ministry and were well-deserved important officials. The reason why the emperor issued an order to these important officials was to assist the crown prince because he was the ancestral system.

In the early years of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao set up a large hall, collected ancient and modern pictures, and summoned famous scholars from all over the world to teach the prince and prince. Soon, the prince lived in Wenhua Hall, and the scholars took turns to serve, and selected talented people to study.

At that time, in addition to the crown prince Shao Shi, Shao Tutor, Shao Bao, and guests, there were also left and right officials, the head of the Zhan Shi Yuan, deputy Zhan Shi, secretary of the Zhan Shi, and the left and right officials, the left and right officials led the government, the left and right officials led the government, the left and right officials led the government, the left and right officials led the government, the left and right officials led the government, the right and left officials led the decree and the old ministers, and they all took their positions as honors and old ministers. There were also officials such as literature, Zhongshe, Zheng, Shizheng, Xima, and Zandu.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the officials of the Left and Right Chunfang were renamed, and each had a concubine's son, and the emperor, Zhongyun, Zanshan, Sizhilang, and each had a grand sect. Then, the officials of the Sijing Bureau were appointed, and the Xima, proofreading the calligraphy, and the regular characters were appointed.

Because there were too many officials and no command, Emperor Taizu Gao set up a Zhanshi Academy in the 22nd year of Hongwu. In short, he changed the Zhanshi Office in the 25th year.

It can be said that Taizu's intention was to establish a set of backup bureaucratic institutions. Once the prince ascended the throne or supervised the country, the Eastern Palace officials would replace the official and carry out national affairs. Later, Taizu realized the hidden dangers of splitting state power in this way, so he imitated the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties, allowing the prime minister and important officials to serve as the Eastern Palace officials to ensure that "father and son are one, and the monarch and minister are one mind."

Before the mid-Ming Dynasty, the prince was very frequent in charge of the country. Especially Chengzu always fought outside in person. During the reign of Emperor Renzong, he was the prince and often served as the state affairs. It was precisely because of the rules set by his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang that the national affairs were not hindered at all. Except for the major military and national affairs that had to be sent to the emperor, the rest were all settled by the prince.

After arriving in Jiajing, the position of the prince was unclear. The prince's teacher, tutor, Bao, and guests all became honorary titles to reward the cabinet ministers. Even the official position of the Zhanshi Mansion became the official of the Hanlin Ci minister. In fact, it could no longer support the prince's needs for the matter, so the emperor had to order the seven ministers to directly serve as state officials as officials of the Eastern Palace.

However, there is another problem here, that is, the prince, the prince cannot have personal relationships with foreign ministers. Therefore, after receiving the imperial edict, the seven ministers only make psychological preparations. After the Zhanshifu worships the prince, the seven ministers must be arranged to meet with the prince. If any of the seven ministers cannot think about it, he will hurry to ask for the interview, and when the situation is in the future, it will be a good ammunition for the censor to impeach.

Now the Zhan Shifu is Guo Zhiqi, but this official position is only his advancement. He is in Fujian as the deputy inspector, and also the inspector and assisting in the preparation of soldiers. Zhu Cixuan once heard that he was a scholar at the age of eleven. Later, he heard that he led his troops to quell the treacherous rebellion in the Minqing robbery and raised troops to guard Shanguan. He was quite curious about this Zhan Shi who was both literary and military, but unfortunately he couldn't see him.

Since the third-rank official Zhan Shi was not here, the other officials were divided into other yamen, and no one summoned them to Qiandi to pay homage to the crown prince for a while. Those who could become the officials of Zhanshi were all ministers who were well-educated in etiquette. Finally, there were no stupid people. After learning about it, they contacted each other and made an appointment to gather in front of the Qiandi gate to prepare for a meeting.

Wu Weiye was elected as a lecturer in the Eastern Palace since the tenth year of Chongzhen, and was the teacher who really taught the prince. Moreover, from the seventh rank official in the tenth year of Chongzhen to the current fifth rank left son, his advancement has all fallen on the prince. I heard that the prince left the palace to pacify the army, Wu Weiye was even more nervous than other part-time officials in the Eastern Palace, so he came very early.

The disciple couldn't figure out the prince's temper. Seeing that the little official didn't understand the truth and didn't know how to stuff a red envelope, he pretended not to see it and let Wu Weiye wait outside. It was not until more and more civil officials gathered in the square in front of Duanli that he went in without rushing to report.

Zhu Cixuan had already been wiped out by two orders, but he just sniffed on the recliner for a moment before getting up to write work arrangements. He heard that more than ten officials from the East Palace had come, and he probably had all the people who should come. So he just saw them earlier, finished the demo and started working formally.

"Big Garden." Zhu Cilang put down his pen and spit out three words.

An eunuch ran out and said to the civil officials outside: "Transfer the order of the prince: I will order you to come in!" His voice was long and sharp, and it was indeed the momentum of the Tian family.

The civil officials outside immediately arranged the order of the official ranks of the Eastern Palace, divided them into two rows, and entered one after another. Wu Weiye suddenly found that there were only a few people standing in front of his fifth-rank prince, all senior officials who had no contact on weekdays. I think he was promoted very quickly, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.

He moved forward without any rushingness as the team watched the newly repaired Duanli door get closer and closer, and there were five or three rooms, all made of precious golden nanmu. The painted wood carvings are exquisitely made, and the vermilion has not yet been completely dry. The steps are tall, the panel door is a fan, with seven horizontal and seventy-nine golden nails on it. The copper gilded door ring is made into a beast-faced swallowing ring, showing the wealth and glory of the Tian family.

Of course, the plaque at the main entrance cannot be used as "Xinwang Mansion" written by Wen Tiren, but the prince of Beppu has never existed in the history of the Ming Dynasty, so the ritual officials have already started a debate on whether to use the word "Capuzhou Mansion". Confucian scholars pay attention to the fact that the name is not upright and the words are not right. At the same time, it also involves whether the parents are in Beppu and whether they are "unfilial". Therefore, this debate must be protracted. I am afraid that when the prince leaves here, there will be no result.

So the plaques are now covered with yellow satin without a single word.

Today is the first time that the official has paid a visit to the prince and opened the middle door.

Wu Weiye entered through the middle door with the team, and at first glance, he saw the nine dragon screen wall made of glass bricks, with the image of a four-clawed golden dragon. After passing around the screen wall, there was a large courtyard covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, with tall pine and cypress planted, and several of them were left from the Mongolian Yuan era.

After passing through this yard, you will see the Chengyun Hall of the Royal Palace, which is commonly known as the Yin'an Hall by the people. This palace is located on the seven-foot-two-inch-high Sumeru mount, and is made of white marble. There are jade railings on both sides of the hanging belt steps, and flying dragons, strong men, immortals and the like are carved on the stone pillars. Each knife is perfect.

The team stopped in front of Chengyun Hall and did not go up immediately. Wu Weiye gently stepped on the blue bricks under his feet with his official boots, which were solid and flat, and could not be seen. Compared with the Wenhua Hall built a hundred years ago, this place can better reflect the patience of the Ming craftsmen and the royal family's ignorance of costs.

"Why don't you see music?" Someone in the team muttered in a low voice.

The atmosphere was indeed too paradoxical. Wu Weiye thought to himself: It is natural for the prince not to show up, but along the way, there was no arrangement of music inside. What's going on? Is the music broken?

"The prince is so disrespectful to the minister!" Someone complained.

"It's probably those who castrated the eunuchs!" Someone pointed the finger at the eunuchs.
