The White Ma Edict does not need to be printed. It is written by the emperor personally. There is no need to seek the advice of the prime minister in advance, and it is not allowed to pass through the two provinces under Zhongshu's sect.
This is generally used in establishing queens, princes, and prime ministers.
Officials take it as an honor to obtain white hemp throughout their lives.
Shi Deyi handed over the white hemp edict in the hemp case to Wang Gui.
Wang Gui took the white linen edict and unfolded it. Even though the edict seemed to be a thin page, when unfolded it was about five feet long and more than three feet wide. It contained more than ten pages.
Everyone knows that the content of the White Ma Edict is actually not long, but according to the rules, "three pieces of hemp are peeled off and four are peeled off."
That is to say, "Jiang Ma" (awarding the prime minister) has three characters on a line, "Peima" (deposing the prime minister) has four characters on a line, and one line of three characters has three characters. Each character is as big as a fist, so the whole White Ma edict appears to be very long. .
Wang Gui read the content of the Baima Edict from beginning to end and said: "The ministers lead the system."
Although it was a white edict, Wang Gui, as prime minister, had the power to reject it. However, as the minister of the three edicts, Wang Gui never used this power, and he never expressed his opinion on the content of the edict.
After Wang Gui read the edict, he handed it over to Hemenzan Xuanshe.
Hemen Zanxuanshe moved to the hall and announced in front of hundreds of officials.
This is how the Baima Edict was drafted. As a secret order from the emperor, the matter was kept secret before drafting, but once it was read out, it was done solemnly and thousands of officials gathered to hear it.
At that time, Emperor Taizu, like Liu Bang, looked down upon Confucian scholars. Zhao Kuangyin designated "Qiande" as the reign name and asked Zhao Pu for his opinion. Zhao Pu said it was very good. However, it was later discovered that Hou Shu had used this reign name. Zhao Kuangyin was furious and used a writing brush to write Zhao Pu down. The painting turned into a big painted face, and at the end he sighed, "The Prime Minister is quite a scholar."
From ancient times to the present, worshiping the prime minister in Xuanma has been juxtaposed with visiting the altar to worship generals. It is the highest etiquette for generals and prime ministers. It is also the pinnacle of a scholar's lifelong pursuit.
In the history of another time and space, Cai Jing served as an official all his life, and his last fatal words were: "I paid homage to the prime minister five times in the Golden Palace, and Xuan Ma ten times in the Yutang. Looking back on the prosperity of the past, I can only talk in my sleep now."
Before his death, Cai Jing could not forget the scene when Xuan Ma paid homage to the prime minister.
All the officials are waiting to see who will win.
Zhang Yue remained motionless, his eyes turned elsewhere. If it hadn't been for the huge defeat ahead, he would have been even more happy at this moment.
No one is perfect and there are always regrets.
But I heard that the general manager of Hemen said to him: "Under the door!"
"Bing Lu Yingtu. He will succeed in the great cause of matching heaven. He will discuss the Tao in time. He will be a famous official in the world..."
"Fang Qiao got up and took matters into his own hands. He reviewed the past records. I am now the supreme duke. I recommend him as a loyal and supportive official..."
When Zhang Yue heard this, his heart moved. In addition to the great obeisance, the format of the Xuanma edict was also very important. Yuan Chen had the meaning of "important minister" and "old minister". It is understandable that "loyal minister" was the elder of the three dynasties.
Yuan Chen and Yuan Lao were both used together. In the Ming Dynasty, it was just the title of chief minister.
Fang Qiao is Fang Xuanling, directly juxtaposing the new prime minister with Fang Xuanling.
As for the hero who promoted loyalty and assisted the government, this is equivalent to a format, which is specially used for gathering Xianxiang. If it is Zhaowen, it means promoting loyalty and cooperating with others and a long list. The longer the word, the more awesome it is.
"He is a meritorious official who recommends loyalty and assistant management, participates in political affairs, is a doctor of Guanglu, is a superintendent of the school, is a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, is the founding father of Jian'an County, has three thousand households in the city, and is granted the title of Zhangyue to one thousand households."
Hearing his name, Zhang Yue could feel countless eyes in the temple falling on him.
His mood also paused for a moment, listening to the words of Hemen Zanxuan Sheren: "Learning is enough to make a saint. It is almost enough to understand the changes in the world. You can achieve great things through virtuous science. You can achieve great results by carrying out far-reaching deeds..."
The two cauldrons in the hall were constantly emitting purple smoke. Zhang Yue's gaze penetrated the hall, as if he was in the desert of the northwest. Yellow sand rolled up in the sky and blocked his sight. Then, gold and iron horses burst into view, and amidst the joy of countless soldiers, He rode on his horse and said to his subordinates, "If I don't level the Helan Mountains, I will not worship the prime minister."
Immediately, the horse galloped and the scene changed.
Zhang Yue returned to the mountain road in Jianzhou, facing the stars in the sky, Guo Lin said to himself, go and see how high the sky is today for your senior brother? If you can make the stars and the moon go, go and do it.
…
Zhang Yue looked at the deep night sky above his head, and the scene before his eyes turned again.
Zhang Yue returned to the dream in his hometown in Pucheng. The old man said to himself that the affairs of the world and the hearts of young people were clear and deep in the dream.
…
There are countless bowl lanterns hanging on the top of the hall, just like the lights of thousands of houses in Bianjing City at night.
Life has gone through one journey after another.
Zhang Yue felt an inexplicable sense of calmness and joy in his heart. This was not the joy of worshiping a prime minister. In the final analysis, the emperor, general and prime minister were just a handful of dirt in the end.
If we don’t see the ancients before and the newcomers after, life will be so desolate.
The past cannot be changed, the future cannot be touched, only the moment in front of us can last forever.
"He is a scholar of the ninth level. He has the ability to use many weapons. He has been riding with his attendants since then. He has been praised in the imperial court. He left Fuhanyuan and was called by the country..."
"The reputation is towering in the distant barbarians. The style is tied to the Xia..."
"Stand up for this dynasty. Resolutely cherish the color of the country. Seek out the general strategy. It is true that there is a trend of banditry..."
"It is used to cut off one's own heart, to be promoted to the prime minister's seat, to increase the number of food companions, to commend people for their honors, to illustrate virtuous work, to praise great governance, and to play..."
"... Specially awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, Grand Scholar of Jixian Palace, plus Zhuguo, an additional 1,000 households in the city, and 400 households in the real estate."
Although they knew that the edict was not written by the emperor himself, all the officials heard that every word of it was of the highest standard, extremely graceful, and extremely noble.
He is simply inferior to the emperor and superior to thousands of people.
My fellow Wang Gui feels really bad.
Yuan Jiang looked at Zhang Yue's back and couldn't help thinking, this Fujianzi.
Cai Que fell into deep thought.
Zhang Dun felt a rare sense of loss.
Zhang Kai felt happy and sad at the same time.
Xu Jiang was overjoyed.
Huang Luze said, "Sanlang, you have finally risen from a humble family to become prime minister."
Cai Jing and Cai Bian, who were both in the palace, had another expression.
Zhang Yue seemed to wake up from a long dream, feeling full and slightly excited in his heart.
But suddenly, he seemed to see Zhonge, Zhang Shouyu and the one hundred thousand soldiers who died in the king's affairs. At this moment, they seemed to be alive, standing in front of him in full armor, with lifelike faces.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel shocked.
They seemed to be saying to themselves, Mr. Zhang, please don’t forget the hatred of me and others!
They looked at him for a long time, and finally saluted him in unison, then turned around and disappeared into the distance.
Zhang Yue said silently, Huangsha wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and he vows not to return Loulan until he breaks it.
Zhang Yue thought of this and looked at the official on the throne, nodding slightly towards him.
The monarch and his ministers instantly understood each other's intentions.
After the edict was read out, all the ministers shouted long live, and then announced it to all directions!
Under the ceremony and music, Wang Gui, Zhang Yue and other ministers left the Daqing Hall. After walking out of the hall, they suddenly heard the sound of cranes roaring, like the sound of fairy music.
As the ministers walked, they looked back and saw two rows of cranes flying among the clouds above Daqing Gate.
Seeing the cranes dancing in the sky, the ministers couldn't help but talk about it, but they saw two cranes landing on the ridge of the palace, and looking back symmetrically, just like owl kisses on the ridge of the hall.
The officials were retreating into the East Pavilion, and when they heard Shi De's report, they couldn't help but look at the cranes hovering on the top of Daqing Hall in the pavilion.
Shi Deyi said happily: "There are owl-kissed and sitting animals on the main hall. The purpose is to avoid fire and protect the palace."
"Today is the day to pay homage to the prime minister, and the crane has landed on the ridge of the palace again. It really means something very special!"
The officials looked at the crane as if it was understanding, and sang loudly, as if congratulating the new prime minister of the Song Dynasty!
The official thought: "Could this be a sign that the country's destiny will be prosperous?"
After the officials walked out of the Daqing Gate, a group of cranes sang in unison and fluttered their wings, as if they were bidding farewell to the new prime minister and disappeared into the sky.
Zhang Yue was appointed at the critical moment, so he went straight to Zhongshu to pay his seal to take office. He didn't want officials to waste time by congratulating him. There were many old things to talk about, and everyone came to congratulate him, but they couldn't talk.
So Zhang Yue said goodbye.
All the officials had no choice but to give up and see each other off.
"Send it to Prime Minister Wang!"
"Send Prime Minister Zhang!"
Zhang Yue was a little unprepared for Zhang Xianggong's sudden change of heart.
When he left the palace behind Daqing Gate, he immediately stopped and followed the example of his predecessors. More than a thousand officials lined up in a long procession to salute. However, under the gate of the majestic palace, there was no line of officials in sight, and they faced himself and Wang Gui to pay homage.
gift.
The officials in front of them stood respectfully, and the officials behind them immediately joined in.
Zhang Yue adapted quickly when he saw everyone like this.
This is also used by Xuan Ma to pay homage to the Prime Minister and make announcements in the court. Of course, Xian He also provides an assist.
Why was the Ministry of Rites nominally ranked first among the six departments?
Know your superiority and inferiority!
The imperial court is here to set the stage for you.
The officials who kept coming out of the palace gate paid homage to the new prime minister. Zhang Yue nodded and left Daqing Gate with all the officials watching.
Many officials faced Wang Gui, but Zhang Yue still looked away from his back, respectfully paying homage.
Then the officials started talking.
What are we talking about?
Good omen from heaven!
The country wins people! The court wins the prime minister!
Zhang Yue returned to the familiar political hall, only to see hundreds of officials waiting outside the hall to greet him, as if they had known that Zhang Yue was arriving.
Facing a place he had not seen for a long time, Zhang Yue felt a little sad.
"The villain congratulates Prime Minister Zhang!"
More than a dozen famous court officials were so excited that tears filled their eyelashes. They were all court officials who had followed Zhang Yue in the past. They were more excited than anyone else when Zhang Yue returned to pay homage to the prime minister.
Zhang Yue's joy was beyond words and he said repeatedly: "Okay."
All the officials in the court knew that Zhang Yue was one of the few prime ministers who attached great importance to emotions, and he always treated others as "throwing him a peach and a plum, and repaying him with a jade."
Zhang Yue had not yet reached the hall when he took a step forward, and several followers immediately came to help him.
Although Zhang Yue had not yet reached the point where he needed help when walking, he still accepted their kindness.
Walking into the hall door, the servants were all worshiping inside.
Zhang Yue walked from the servants who were kneeling on the floor to the political hall and looked around. Thinking of the day when Han Jiang was in the hall, he walked to where he was sitting with a sad face.
Wang Gui knew that Zhang Yue was a sentimental person and sat aside silently.
Immediately, Zhang Yue and Wang Gui took their seats, and the court officials re-entered to pay homage.
Finally, Yuan Jiang and Zhongshu Wufang went inside to pay homage.
Zhang Yue and his highnesses looked at Yuan Jiang just now. No matter how indifferent he appeared in public, the feeling of loneliness in his expression could not be concealed from others.
Throughout Zhang Yue's career as an official, he was used to seeing this look on too many people's faces in the officialdom.
Zhang Yue didn't show any pride after his success, so don't rub salt into people's wounds at this time.
Facing Yuan Jiang's difficult words of congratulations, he politely responded with a few words, and then he looked at Cai Jing and other Zhongshu Wufang.
