Looking at him kneeling on the ground, his figure is old but his attitude is firm...
Feng Bao is determined to resign.
Zhu Yijun was very embarrassed.
Li Rusong stood aside and did not dare to say a word.
Shen Lie was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Mr. Feng, what are you..."
But as soon as he walked over, he was pushed away by Feng Bao.
The old eunuch, who was a veteran of three dynasties, was angry and said angrily: "Come on... Your Majesty, please be kind and remove me from the post of eunuch Bingbi, and let me go back to the countryside!"
This thing is too outrageous 1
So the atmosphere was a little awkward.
I can't blame Feng Bao for being anxious.
In the reform of the martial arts examination system, such a big thing as the establishment of the imperial martial arts hall has to bypass the cabinet and the six ministries to issue the central decree, or it is better to issue the central decree clearly and announce it to the world.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty may not dare to accuse the emperor of being fatuous.
But.
Isn’t this putting his Eunuch Feng on the fire?
The cabinet did not approve.
Don't follow the process.
He covered it with the jade seal.
Isn’t this a complete disaster for the country and the people?
At this time, Feng Bao seemed to see the excitement of the people in the world, the uproar among the government and the public, the clear discussion among scholars, and the rise of officials to attack...
So he made up his mind that this time he would not allow the emperor to mess around.
At this moment, the corners of Shen Lie's mouth twitched slightly, and Li Rusong lowered his head with guilt.
Zhu Yijun touched his nose awkwardly, walked up and said with a smile: "Sir, you get up first, the ground is cold... you have something to say."
But Feng Bao had already made up his mind.
He won't get up even if he's beaten to death.
The atmosphere fell into endless embarrassment.
Shen Lie was quite helpless and sighed quietly in his heart. If we want to talk about the difference between this imperial edict and the central edict, we have to start from the Meng Yuan era.
What is an imperial edict?
It is an imperial edict officially issued by the imperial court. It is a legally binding document that has been jointly approved by the emperor and the imperial court.
Every imperial edict must be registered by the imperial court and signed by the first and second ministers of the cabinet to have legal effect.
The emperor issues personal orders or edicts from the palace, bypassing the cabinet and directly delivering them to relevant agencies for execution, which is called a central edict.
Which is greater, the imperial decree or the central decree?
This depends on whether the emperor is strong or not. With a strong emperor, even if the decree is issued every day, which blind yamen would dare not to execute it?
Tired of living!
If they were faced with a powerful emperor like Taizu of the Ming Dynasty or Emperor Yongle, they would not even bother to issue a decree.
Just use the Holy Spirit's handwriting directly.
A piece of paper.
The world is ups and downs.
Who dares to say no even half a word?
But when he arrived at Wanli Dynasty, Shen Lie felt a little scratched his head.
The power of kings has fallen by the wayside.
The shortcomings of the cabinet's excessive power have undoubtedly been exposed. This has resulted in the excessive power of the civil service group and the suppression of Wu Xun. This is a fact known to everyone.
But who dares to say?
In deathly silence.
The scene became awkward like this.
Seeing the originally cheerful emperor, the smile on his face gradually froze, and then gradually turned livid, and his temper flared up again.
The emperor's expression caused the small courtyard on the side of the ceremonial supervisor to fall into a deathly silence, and some timid eunuchs trembled like quails in fear.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
It was obvious that the emperor was very angry and on the verge of explosion.
So on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and everyone held their breath, waiting for a big thunder to erupt.
at this time.
Shen Lie felt anxious and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Mr. Feng should get up first."
Holding Feng Bao's arm and pulling him up, Shen Lie quickly stood between Feng Bao and the emperor, blocking the tense gaze.
Think about it.
Shen Lie then said quietly: "Shen has little education and doesn't understand many big principles. However, Shen has something unclear and I would like to ask Feng Gong to explain it."
The words fell.
The courtyard is quieter.
The eunuchs and chamberlains all looked at Shen Lie intently.
Zhu Yijun's eyes were gloomy.
Li Rusong was slightly stunned.
Shen Lie organized his words a little, and then said slowly: "I dare to ask Feng Gong. Everyone knows that after the Tumubao Revolution, the situation in our dynasty became more and more serious. It went through Jingtai, Tianshun, Chenghua, and Hongzhi. During the seven dynasties of Zhengde, Jiajing, and Longqing, each generation of emperors tried their best to support Wu Xun, but until today..."
Speaking of which.
A little worry appeared on Shen Lie's face.
There was a pause.
Shen Lie then spoke eloquently: "Thanks to the intermittent support of His Majesty Ying Zong, Xian Zong, and Wu Zong, although our Ming Dynasty military officers and nobles have lost their spirit, they have never been completely defeated..."
Talking and talking.
Shen Lie then focused his gaze on Feng Bao, and then said quietly: "I wonder if Mr. Feng thinks that what Shen said is half-truth?"
This question.
Feng Bao was immediately speechless, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something but was speechless. He couldn't deny it for a moment.
At this moment.
The entire ceremonial supervisor was silent, pondering over these earth-shattering words.
But Feng Bao was speechless.
aside.
Zhu Yijun and Li Rusong also had frightening glints in their eyes.
Several people were thinking about these words in their hearts, as if a layer of window paper had been pierced, revealing the stubborn diseases of the prosperous Ming Dynasty in front of everyone.
In silence.
Li Rusong's dry laughter sounded in the small courtyard: "Hehe, hehehe."
Mr. Li was very happy after saying this and clapped his hands in Shen Lie's direction: "Brother Shen is right about what he said. It is exactly what Mr. Li wants!"
Shen Lie smiled at him and said quietly: "It is now the tenth year of Wanli..."
Said.
He then looked at the young emperor.
Feng Bao's eyes darkened, and a series of thoughts followed Shen Lie's thoughts.
yes.
Now in the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng is seriously ill and unable to govern. The civil officials, who had just been so arrogant in front of military commanders and nobles, had to face an embarrassing reality again.
The young emperor, who was eager to take charge of the government, now began to support the forces of military generals and nobles.
It's like being in a stormy sea.
Keep your head down.
Shen Lie paced slowly and said softly: "Feng Gong took the lead because he was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself in the later years, be criticized by the scholars, be despised by the world, and even have to bear an infamy after his death... and be infamy for thousands of years."
There was another moment of silence.
These words made Zhu Yijun lower his head and remain silent, while Li Rusong curled his lips.
A trace of bitterness appeared on Feng Bao's wrinkled old face, and he finally spoke: "Scholarly discussions, public opinion makes money, old age...how can we not be afraid?"
But Shen Lie smiled slightly again, raised his head, and said proudly: "Shen thinks otherwise, Shen thinks...someone has to bear the stigma in this world. If everyone cherishes their reputation and is unwilling to take risks, then I am willing to bear the infamy...who will do the dirty and dirty things?"
These words.
He also left Zhu Yijun, Li Rusong, and Feng Bao speechless. This seems to be a fallacy that they have never heard of before, but if you think about it carefully, it is somewhat philosophical.
After that, Shen Lie suppressed his smile and said loudly: "Shen believes that the sins of a great hero are in the present, but his achievements are in the future. He can bear the infamy of a lifetime and build the achievements of future generations. This is not the case for the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty!"
