Zhu Qizhen said dissatisfied: "I asked you something, why did you ask about me instead?"
"This...servant is stupid..."
At this moment, Wynn couldn't help but have the urge to cry.
Zhu Qizhen was also helpless and said: "Of course you are going to find Qiqiqi to take back the imperial edict. Isn't it difficult to understand?"
"This slave is not going to the north..."
Suddenly, Wynn understood that after making trouble for a long time, he just agreed in disguise.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I understand!"
"As long as you understand, go quickly!"
"yes!"
Now that Wynn knew how to do it, he no longer hesitated and hurried out of the palace.
When leaving the palace from the Meridian Gate, I saw a young scribe holding a stack of memorials in his arms, and he didn't know which yamen gate he was going to deliver them to.
"Eunuch Huai, are you leaving the palace?"
The scribe recognized Hua En and hurriedly stopped, but he was holding the memorial in his hand and could not salute.
Huaien didn't care and said hurriedly: "I'm ordered to go to Honglu Temple!"
"Father-in-law, walk slowly!"
This person watched Huaien leave the palace and then came all the way to Wenyuan Pavilion.
"Master Cao, Master Zhang, Master Kuang!"
Cao Nai nodded and asked, "Has Huaien left the palace?"
"The students saw with their own eyes that they had already left the Meridian Gate."
"Did you tell me where you went?"
"The student couldn't follow me out, so I asked specifically. Eunuch Huai only said that he was going to Honglu Temple."
Cao Nai nodded again, then waved his hand gently and said: "You go down first!"
"yes!"
After the scribe left, there were only three people left in the public room, namely Cao Nai, Zhang Yi and Kuang Ye.
Since both Yu Qian and Peng Qing were absent, Cao Nai and Zhang Yi naturally took the decision on all major matters in the court. However, this time it involved the Ministry of Rites, and Kuang Ye had to be present.
When the vote is drawn up, three people vote, and at least two people agree to pass it.
Relatively speaking, Kuang Ye has a more straightforward temperament. After all, he is the former Minister of War and has also been on the battlefield.
Seeing that Cao Nai and Zhang Yi were silent, he took the lead and said: "You two, don't be stunned, let's discuss it quickly!"
Cao Nai and Zhang Yi did not answer. They looked at each other and seemed to have formed some kind of tacit understanding.
Later, Zhang Yi said: "Kuang Shangshu, this matter must be discussed in the long run."
Kuang Ye frowned and said: "The Emperor has said it, but we are still waiting. Moreover, the imperial edict is about to be withdrawn. We can't come up with any results after further discussions. Where do you want the Emperor's face to go?"
Zhang Yi shook his head gently and said: "This matter is not that simple. We need to consider it carefully before discussing it."
"Why?"
Kuang Ye doesn't understand. The emperor has already given in. If you don't hurry up, what are you waiting for?
Zhang Yi said calmly: "Don't you think the emperor's behavior is abnormal?"
"Abnormal..."
Kuang Ye thought for a while and then asked: "Are you talking about issuing the imperial edict?"
Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Exactly!"
"However, the emperor has already agreed to withdraw it, so this decree does not count."
Zhang Yi didn't know how to explain it, so he suddenly asked: "Is the emperor an ignorant child?"
"Of course not!"
Kuang Ye looked surprised and said, "Master Zhang, are you confused?"
Zhang Yi continued to ask: "Then... is the emperor fatuous?"
"Master Zhang, what do you mean?"
Kuang Ye's expression changed drastically and he stood up from the chair.
Zhang Yicheng waved his hand at him and said: "Don't worry about it, just answer me!"
Kuang Ye said with a sullen face: "The current emperor is extremely wise and has nothing to do with being mediocre!"
"Okay, I'll ask you again..."
Zhang Yi pondered for a moment and continued: "Are there any sycophants around the emperor who might cause trouble?"
Kuang Ye looked determined and said: "No!"
"That's it!"
Zhang Yi nodded and then expressed his thoughts: "In this case, why did the emperor issue a decree?"
Kuang Ye was stunned for a long time, and then said: "The emperor has made it very clear just now, I have been waiting for a long time..."
"That's an excuse!"
Zhang Yi interrupted him and said: "Qiqi Ke from Mobei has been coming to the capital for a while. After waiting for this long, do you still care about waiting two more days?"
Kuang Ye thought for a while and asked: "Then...what do you mean?"
"It's not normal, there's something wrong!"
"what is the problem?"
"I can't say for sure, but there must be something wrong with it!"
Zhang Yi just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong and what the emperor's real purpose was.
After hearing what he said, Kuang Ye also felt that something was wrong.
The two fell silent at the same time, both frowning and thinking hard.
After a long time, Cao Nai said: "In recent years, the emperor has never issued a decree. Today's incident is indeed very abnormal. Kuang Shangshu, please think carefully, what is the emperor's purpose?"
Kuang Ye thought about it, looked troubled, and said: "It would be great if Yu Qian was here, he would definitely be able to guess the emperor's thoughts!"
Cao Nai said dissatisfied: "Yu Qian went to Mohewei, why should he send a telegram?"
Kuang Ye waved his hand and said: "I just said it casually. Since you two think there is a problem, then please explain where the problem lies and how to deal with it next!"
Cao Nai sighed slowly and said: "It's hard to figure out the emperor's thoughts. However, now that the imperial edict is invalid, let's just do a trick and wait for a few days. By then, the emperor will not be able to calm down. Naturally, That’s clear!”
Kuang Ye thought for a while and said, "Isn't this... inappropriate?"
"Tell me, what should I do?"
"I don't know."
"Since you don't know, and what we say is inappropriate to you, what should you do?"
Kuang Ye thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's wait for a few days. However, I have to make an agreement in advance. If the emperor asks, we must have the same tone."
Cao Nai said: "This is easy to handle. Just say that most of the people do not agree with the emperor's patrol. The matter will be put aside for the time being and will be discussed later."
Even if the cabinet vote fails, there is no need to seal it back immediately.
You should be careful about important national affairs. Let us think about it again. Wait three days, five days, ten days and eight days. When we have thought it over clearly, we will send it back to you.
Kuang Ye nodded solemnly and said: "That's very good. If the emperor asks, just say that I agree, but you two disagree, two to one, very good!"
Cao Nai:......
Zhang Yi:……
Kuang Ye looked at the two of them warily and asked, "What do you two mean?"
Cao Nai:......
Zhang Yi:……
Seeing this, Kuang Ye became even more nervous and said, "Can you just say something?"
Cao Nai and Zhang Yi looked at each other with helpless expressions at the same time.
"I will obey you."
"You two, you came up with this method, how can you accept it?"
Kuang Ye refused to give in and argued hard according to reason.
Cao Nai sighed and said: "Okay, let's just say that you agree and I don't agree. Is that feasible?"
Kuang Ye finally showed a smile of victory on his face: "It's feasible, it's very feasible!"
