The next day, the emperor's edict concerning the two young masters of the Sun family was sent to Zhongshu Province. After reading it, several prime ministers of Zhongshu Province looked at each other.
Because this edict clearly stated that Sun Yuanliang and Sun Yuanfu of the Sun family would be appointed as the Huaihe River Navy Qianhu, and they would leave Beijing to take up their posts on the same day.
It didn't take several prime ministers, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor was venting his anger on the Queen Mother.
After all, everyone knows what the situation of the Huaihe Navy is. If the emperor's two cousins are really stuffed in, General Zhao will naturally not dare to say anything openly. Maybe he will really put these two young masters in.
Sent to the battlefield to be a thousand households.
If the Queen Mother's two nephews died on the battlefield, things would really end badly.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the emperor's edict is not outrageous, the Zhongshu Province will not reject the edict. However, this time it was indeed a bit nonsense. Several prime ministers discussed it and finally settled on Wang Dan, the prime minister who is currently in charge of Zhongshu.
, shouldering the responsibility, he came to the Manlu Palace alone with this edict to meet His Majesty the Emperor.
As the prime minister of Zhongshu, Wang Dan saw the emperor without any obstruction. Basically, as soon as he arrived at the Manlu Palace, he was invited in by the eunuchs of the Manlu Palace. After seeing the emperor, the old man was about to kneel down to salute when the emperor frowned and said
: "That's all, Prime Minister Wang just talks directly."
The little old man, who had a slight stoop on his back, held the imperial edict in both hands, bowed his head deeply and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial edict copied to Zhongshu today has been discussed by five people including me.
, there seems to be something inappropriate, so the old minister came to see His Majesty..."
"Whether it is issued in accordance with this edict?"
The little emperor sat on the throne, glanced at the prime minister in front of him, who had a lot of gray hair, and said indifferently: "What do you mean by the king?"
Wang Dan lowered his head and was silent for a moment.
At this moment, he wanted to say whether he had asked the Queen Mother for her opinion first, but now everyone in Jiankang knew that the emperor had a conflict with the Queen Mother yesterday, and this edict was probably made out of anger.
It is obviously unreasonable to mention the Queen Mother at such a time.
As a result, the old husband lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Huaihe Navy is our northern vassal in Dachen. It defends the country and defends the territory. It is very important to Dachen. The appointment of thousands of households in the Huaihe Navy is also very important.
It’s a small matter. I think the veteran should ask the Ministry of War to send a letter to ask the Huaihe Navy’s opinion, or summon several chief officers from the Ministry of War to discuss the matter together..."
The little emperor narrowed his eyes: "What does Wang Xiang mean, is that I still can't appoint Qianhu, who can't afford the Huaihe Navy?"
Wang Lian shook his head hastily: "I definitely don't mean this..."
Wang Dan gritted his teeth and said, "If your Majesty insists on issuing the decree, I will go back and seal it..."
His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his hand and knocked on the table. He thought for a while and said slowly: "Let's have the Ministry of War send someone to the Sun family and ask them if they are willing to go north to join the army. If they are willing, then do it. If not
willing…"
The emperor snorted coldly: "If they are unwilling, let's discuss it again."
"As for the Huaihe Navy, I don't think there is any need to ask."
He looked at Wang Dan and said slowly: "The Huaihe Navy is the imperial court's Huaihe Navy, and it is my Huaihe Navy. When I appoint a thousand households, I don't need to ask the Huaihe Navy's opinion."
Although the prime ministers and the emperor who were present at this time knew in their hearts that these words were just words for the occasion, but such words had to be said for the occasion. The king bowed his head respectfully and said: "What your majesty said is absolutely true. I will go back right away."
, arranged for the Ministry of War to go to the Changning Bo Mansion and inquire about the matter with the Changning Bo Mansion."
Sun Yanchang, the uncle of Changning, was the younger brother of the current Empress Dowager Sun and the emperor's uncle.
This uncle has been named an earl for more than ten years.
As for the emperor's current father-in-law, he is his cousin and has not yet been conferred a title.
"Um."
The emperor waved his hand and said calmly: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for making this trip. Gao Ming, prepare a cart of silver bone charcoal and send it to the Prime Minister Wang's residence later. This winter seems to be colder than previous years. Don't let it freeze."
It’s the king’s prime minister.”
Gao Ming and respect should be.
This time, Wang Dan also knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Old minister, thank you for your generous gift."
The emperor glanced at the grateful old husband with a half-smile, and said calmly: "I will also take this imperial edict to the Ministry of War, and show it to the people in the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, and discuss it before making another decision.
The Ministry of War went to see my uncle."
The emperor's words were no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.
This means that his edict may not be issued or carried out, but it must be publicized and told to everyone in the government and the public that the emperor wants the Sun family to join the army, but the Sun family is unwilling to go.
This is to show the emperor's strong attitude towards his descendants.
Of course, it was also to reflect the emperor's strong attitude towards the Queen Mother.
If this matter goes forward according to the emperor's plan, then from now on, it will be clear who is in charge and who has the say in the Tian family.
The Queen Mother's voice in future court affairs will also plummet.
The civil servants who can worship the prime minister in Zhongshu are basically the best among human beings. The prime minister who can serve as the governor is the head of hundreds of officials, and the most humane minister. In fact, an elder of this level is
There is no need to say it explicitly, just give a little hint.
After all, the emperor was young and still a little impatient.
Wang Dan naturally understood the meaning of the emperor's words.
The Prime Minister Zhongshu hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head respectfully and said: "I...obey my order."
…………
Because it was a matter that the emperor personally handed over, the Zhongshu Province was naturally very concerned about handling it. In the afternoon of the same day, the matter was sent to the Ministry of War from the Zhongshu. After several officials from the Ministry of War discussed it, they sent the Martial Arts Director Zhongzhou
Yao, go to the Changning Bofu and inquire about this matter.
The doctor of the Military Examination Division is almost the fourth person in the Ministry of War. He has great authority. The doctor of the Military Examination Division personally comes to visit. Even the descendants of the clan pay great attention to it. Sun Yanchang, the uncle of Changning, personally received the doctor of the Ministry of War. He just went in for a drink.
After only a few cups of tea, Doctor Zhou explained his intention to visit Uncle Chang Ning.
After Sun Yanchang heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
Because Sun Yuanliang, who was ordered by the emperor, was his eldest son, and Sun Yuanfu was the eldest son of his cousin Sun Yanli.
Uncle Chang Ning had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he still received Doctor Zhou and told him that he would consider it for a few days, and after a few days, he would go to the Ministry of War in person to explain the situation to the Ministry of War.
Facing the emperor's uncle, Langzhong Zhou naturally could not force him. After a few polite words, he stood up and left.
To be honest, no one wants to have close contact with the descendants now.
After all, the emperor's attitude was already very clear.
Uncle Guo personally saw Langzhong Zhou out of the house. After sending Zhou Yao away, he returned to his home with a solemn face. After changing into official uniform, he went directly into the palace and went all the way to Kunde Palace.
door.
After arriving at the entrance of Kunde Palace, Sun Yanchang waited at the door to be summoned by the Queen Mother. However, after waiting for a full stick of incense, the Queen Mother did not summon his biological brother. Only the female official of Kunde Palace walked over.
In front of Uncle Guo, he sighed at him and lowered his head and said: "Uncle Guo, you'd better go back today. Your Majesty is in a bad mood now and doesn't want to see guests..."
"Rong Zhang Ling..."
Uncle Chang Ning glanced at Aunt Rong anxiously, lowered his head and whispered: "I will leave as soon as I see the queen. I have to let the queen make an idea..."
Aunt Rong glanced at the middle-aged man in front of her and said helplessly: "The empress told me to go directly to Deqing Palace..."
