Yunxi rested in Xu Miaojin's palace that night. Early the next morning, Yunxi got up and went to the first morning meeting since he returned to Beijing. It was also the last morning meeting in the first year of Jianye, because the twelfth lunar month would start tomorrow.
Starting from the 23rd, it is the holiday prescribed by Yunxi in the twelfth lunar month of last year.
On days like this, even if everyone has something to do, they usually wait until the New Year is over before talking about it. In the morning before the New Year, they usually talk about light things.
Sure enough, after Yunxi came to court, although more than a month had passed, everyone had already published poems to praise him, but they also praised his majesty in person for personally conquering the rebellion.
Yunxi didn't seem to want to say anything that would affect the atmosphere of the New Year. He just asked: "Chen Aiqing, have you ever seen the jade seal that came to Beijing a few days ago? Is it the national jade seal?"
Chen Di immediately said: "Your Majesty, I and the learned people from the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, Honglu Temple, Hanlin Academy, etc. have repeatedly reviewed the documents of previous dynasties and compared them with the jade seal. No flaws have been found. They should be able to confirm that this jade seal
It’s the imperial seal!”
The matter of Chuan Guo's Jade Seal is the most sensational thing in the capital these days. There were still people muttering about King Qi's torture of prisoners and other things, but no one cared about it anymore. Everyone flocked to the Ministry of Rites to see this, which was probably Chuan Guo's.
Jade Seal of Jade Seal.
Countless well-educated people buried their heads in piles of old papers, checking the documents left behind by the dynasties before the Later Tang Dynasty and comparing them with the jade seals to see if they were the jade seals handed down from the country.
After careful cross-examination, countless people believed that this was the Imperial Seal. Although some people were more cautious and did not make such a conclusion, they could not find any flaws.
Some people have begun to say: 'This is God's blessing for the Ming Dynasty, and God's blessing for your majesty today.' The Ming Dynasty's orthodox status among literati has become more stable, and Yunxi's prestige has been further improved. Although it is still not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang, it far exceeds that he just succeeded.
When in position.
Yunxi's down-and-out literati who specialize in writing drama scripts have already written all the scripts about the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, and are waiting for Yunxi to officially issue an order to admit that it is the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, and then hand it over to the opera troupe to perform.
Yunxi then asked some well-educated scholars in the court, and they all said with certainty: "I have repeatedly checked the records of the past dynasties, and there are no flaws. It should be the jade seal passed down to the country."
Yunxi finally named Yan Zhenzhi: "Yan Qing, what do you think? Is this jade seal the national jade seal?"
Some people were a little surprised: 'Yan Zhenzhi is a minister of the Ministry of Industry and has no talent. Why would your majesty ask him?'
Yan Zhenzhi himself understood it very well, but even so he could not remain silent. He just said: "I went to the Ministry of Rites to look at this jade seal and found no flaws."
Yunxi then said: "In that case, I think this is the real jade seal passed down from the country!"
The Six Ministers and the Governor of the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion led all the officials to kneel down and said: "I congratulate Your Majesty for recovering the jade seal that has been lost for many years!"
Yunxi was also very happy and said with a smile: "Everyone is safe." Then after they all got up, he said: "The commander of the Xuzhou Guard, Chu Zhi, has made great contributions to his department in discovering the jade seal passed down to the country. I have named him Uncle Yan.
Hereditary inheritance and replacement.”
"The subordinate Xing Yuan of the Thousand Households, Zhang Yide of the Hundred Households, and the General Banner Wang Xiaoguang were granted the hereditary position of Thousand Households."
"Inspected the censor Jian Yi, awarded the prince the post of Shaobao, and was promoted to the imperial censor of the capital, Youqian."
"Henan Magistrate Jia Zhong was granted the rank of doctor, and was promoted to Henan Chief Envoy and Siyou Chief Envoy."
Because these people discovered the imperial seal, the rewards they received were even higher than those of some generals who had made contributions in suppressing the rebellion, but no one felt that there was anything inappropriate about Yun Xi's rewards.
After we finished talking about passing on the imperial seal, it was already getting late, all the ministers were already preparing to go to court, and no one said anything else.
However, Yunxi had no intention of going to court, and instead talked about other things. And this incident ruined the mood of many people during the New Year.
Yunxi said: "Ru Aiqing."
Ru Yu came out and said, "I'm here."
"I asked you to investigate yesterday. Is there any progress?"
"Your Majesty, this is just a day's work, what progress is there? And now that the New Year is approaching, and tomorrow is the day of rest, Your Majesty should wait until the New Year is over before verifying this matter." Ru Yu can delay it as much as possible. .
Yunxi narrowed his eyes and said: "Although the New Year is approaching, how can such a case be delayed? The rebellious people in Shandong and Hebei have already been brought to justice, and only those in the capital who participated in the plot have not, how can we let them go? Get away with it?”
After hearing Yunxi's words, Rujun understood what he meant, and while complaining in his heart, he said: "I know the crime."
Yunxi said: "This is not a sin. It's just that I felt a little slow, so I urged you to ask."
Ru Yun complained in his heart that since he was so worried, why didn't he let Jin Yiwei and the town committee come to investigate? Why did he supervise our criminal department every day? But he would never dare to say this.
While Yunxi and Ruyu were asking questions, many people who didn't know the case asked people around them. But most people didn't actually know the ins and outs of the matter, and the few who knew the inside story certainly wouldn't share it with them, so Although many people know the contents of this case, they are still a little surprised.
Yunxi didn't say much. After asking a few questions, he ordered to retreat.
However, some people's affected emotions are not so easy to calm down.
Jiang Botao and Pan Ren walked together and asked in a low voice: "What is Your Majesty going to do? Is it to knock the mountain to shake the tiger?"
Pan Ren said: "No matter what your Majesty wants to do, don't do anything in the next few days. Don't wait until after the New Year. Can your Majesty punish you without teaching?"
Jiang Botao said: "I just don't understand why Your Majesty urges the Ministry of Punishment. Both the Jin Yiwei and the town committee are more suitable than the Ministry of Punishment."
Pan Ren sneered and said: "How could the Jin Yiwei and the town committee not take any action? His Majesty probably used the Criminal Department to distract our attention, and secretly used the two of them to investigate. Maybe, we already have their spies in our home now. ."
"However, I am also a little surprised. Your original position is the censor of Qiandu. Why did Your Majesty appoint Jian Yi as the censor of Qiandu?"
Jiang Botao said: "Your Majesty probably made a mistake. There is currently no one serving as the censor of Zuo Qiandu. Your Majesty may have misremembered and thought I was the censor of Zuo Qiandu, so he appointed Jian Yi as the censor of Right Qiandu." ."
Pan Ren said: "That's right, Your Majesty. You probably won't make any big moves before the Chinese New Year. However, you still have to be more careful."
Jiang Botao said: "No matter what, I will go back to my hometown and wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to come back. I will avoid this time completely."
Pan Ren's eyes lit up: "Yes, I will also clean up tomorrow. Let's go home to avoid this period of time."
