When Wang Xijue received the imperial edict, he was happy first and then sad.

What I am happy about is that the emperor's imperial edict was directly sent to the Ministry of Rites, so that all officials knew that this was what the emperor meant.

But what I worry about is that the emperor cheated him in this imperial edict.

When the emperor was in the preface, Wang Xijue and the emperor secretly concluded that if the emperor wanted the three kings to be granted together, then Wang Xijue would not be able to agree, but... but the emperor must add a sentence to the imperial edict, and the eldest son recognized the queen as his mother, thus establishing the identity of the legitimate son.

This sentence must be written into the imperial edict.

But Wang Xijue turned the imperial edict over and looked over, but the emperor did not mention a single word.

Now Wang Xijue is holding the imperial edict in both hands, and his face is full of worries.

At this time, the clerk Li You reminded him: "Gei Master, the Ministry of Rites is about to withdraw from the yamen. Will you send this edict to the Ministry of Rites immediately?"

Wang Xijue looked at Li You and said, "I'm afraid someone will report this edict among the censors!"

Li You, the clerk, smiled and said, "Why would officials not discuss the affairs of the court? The emperor entrusts the old man to resolve these difficulties in order to resolve these difficulties. The so-called 'Thousands of words in the foreign court are worse than words in the forbidden part'. If Mr. Wang really has problems, it is better to write a secret to the emperor."

Wang Xijue thought of the great kindness he received from the emperor. This time he returned to the province and left the prime minister eight times, but the emperor ordered him to request eight times. How could Wang Xijue not be moved by such a kindness?

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "The old minister is devoted to sharing the worries of the emperor, but he is afraid that the officials below will be reluctant."

Li You smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, if you are worried, just go there in person."

"Okay, then I will discuss with the second assistant." After a while, Wang Xijue and Lu Guangzu discussed it and then stamped the imperial edict, saying to others: "Distribute the gift immediately!"

The clerk Li You nodded when he saw this and said, "Then we are waiting outside the door."

Wang Xijue said: "Dadfather-in-law, I will write a secret letter at that time. Please pass it on to Your Majesty for your personal announcement."

After Li You left, Wang Xijue looked solemn, and Wang Wu and the two Secretariats walked to him.

Wang Xijue sighed: "Has Ben Sui been plotted against?"

No one dared to speak up when he heard Wang Xijue's words.

Wang Wu asked: "Who dares to have the courage to plot against the master?"

A Zhongshu said: "Yuanfu, the matter of the two kings being conferred together came from the secret discussion between Your Majesty and Yuanfu. It is impossible for any minister to set up a plan. As for whether the edict mentioned the emperor's eldest son's recognition of the queen, I think it is necessary to immediately ask the emperor to add an imperial edict."

"Yes, no one dares to make a plan for the basic affairs of the country. If someone really makes a plan, then it will be terrible to make a decision in just one month."

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "Yes, but no matter what, the matter has come to this point. After the Holy Edict was sent to the Ministry of Rites, no one could catch him back. Instead of expecting the emperor to think more, it would be better to think about what to do if Mr. Lin?"

Wang Wu said: "Master, the boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge. Now I have to have a bet. I see that the sage has already given up, and there is also a cabinet's seal, and the copy of the Lishu Department will not dare to make trouble!"

The Secretary of the Central Committee said: "Do you have to make a condition that Mr. Lin continues to serve as the Minister of Rites, or even recommend him to enter the cabinet?"

After the Secretariat finished speaking, he saw Wang Xijue giving him a look. The man immediately cursed himself for being confused. Lu Guangzu would definitely not agree to this matter, which would undermine the unity of the cabinet.

Wang Xijue glared at the Secretariat. At this moment, he already understood something in his heart. He shouldn't have rushed to replace Lin Yanchao! This was his mistake.

However, Wang Xijue was guilty of this, and he would not verbally admit it.

At this time, the imperial edict was at the Sixth Corridor Literature Department. Hu Runing, the chief of the Ministry of Revenue, was discussing with several officials about the birthday party after leaving the yamen. After a while, he went to the Minister of Revenue Yang Junmin's birthday party.

The few people were just happy to talk about it, but suddenly an order came.

Hu Runing was immediately surprised that there were few intentions at this time.

Hu Runing immediately read the order, but when he saw the items that the three kings had sealed together, he was shocked and asked the left and right officials: "The Ministry of Rites has discussed this entry in the reply in the past few days?"

The staff members shook their heads.

Hu Runing helped the official hat and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This is not in line with the rules!"

A minister said, "Yes, such a big matter is usually written by an official. The cabinet wrote a letter to a certain department. Then the department will discuss the reply to the memorial. Then the cabinet will submit the proposal to reply to the promissory note according to the proposal. The emperor will criticize it. Our ministers will issue it again!"

"But the Ministry of Rites does not know about this matter at all, but comes from the Holy Prison! Obviously, the cabinet is just based on the word ". We can refute it."

Another clerk pointed to the imperial edict and said, "Didn't you read it? There is a seal of the cabinet on it, and the cabinet has agreed. Will we just have a clerk to make things difficult for the emperor and the cabinet?"

After talking around for a while, Hu Runing said, "Forget it, forgot, this black hat can't be saved. Anyway, the sky is falling, and there are people taller than us who are standing on it. Let's not just talk and post copying."

When the cabinet heard that Li Ke had already issued a copy, the clerk Li You was overjoyed and immediately said to Wang Xijue: "This matter is of great importance, so let's go to the Ministry of Rites to watch it, and ask Yuan Fu to send someone to accompany our family."

Wang Xijue immediately ordered Wang Wu to accompany him. Wang Wu had a job in the cabinet, and if he came forward, it would be like Wang Xijue came forward.

Li You, the clerk, left immediately.

Li You came from the documentary room, which was under the jurisdiction of the Li Supervisor, but he was an eunuch in the internal official supervision. Because the management of memorials was originally the responsibility of the internal official supervision, he was invaded by the Li Supervisor.

Because the emperor did not pay tribute, all military and national affairs were decided through memorials. Therefore, the statutes and celebrities in charge of the criticism of the people and the clerks who exchanged memorials became increasingly powerful.

This is true for Li You. When he arrived at the cabinet according to the rules and decrees, he must send the book to the highest qualifications among the clerks, which is called the scattered official. Li You is now the internal supervisor with the deepest qualifications of the clerks, and he must deliver the scattered official.

If he didn't handle it, it would be inconsistent with the system. For example, when Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty appointed himself as a general and asked the eunuch of the East Factory to send him to the cabinet, Yang Tinghe, the cabinet minister, refused on the grounds that the other party did not disperse the official.

Li You came to the palace gate, and the clerk of the Li Ke who was responsible for copying was already there, and the group immediately went to the Yishu Department's office.

At this time, it was about to be You, and Li You and his party arrived in front of the Ministry of Rites, and the door immediately entered and reported.

I heard that an imperial edict had arrived. A moment later, Lin Yanchao, Minister of Rites, Han Shineng, Left Assistant of Rites, Zhao Yongxian, Right Assistant of Rites, He Qiaoyuan, Doctor of the Yizheng Department, Yu Kong Jian, Yuanwai's Lang, Chen Tailai, Chief Secretary, Gu Yuncheng, etc., were waiting at Yimen.

Generally speaking, the ministers can just send the imperial edict to the department, but this time the clerk also arrived, which shows that the imperial edict was extraordinary.

After Li You arrived at the ministry, he was about to look as if he was blind. However, when he saw the officials of the Ministry of Rites come out to greet him, Lin Yanchao was surrounded by other officials in a blazing robe, as if all the stars were holding the moon.

Such a demeanor made Li You suddenly restrain his arrogance and had a problem in his heart.

In the evening sunset, Li You stepped forward and said to Lin Yanchao: "I have met the master of the sect, and it's already this time, so I've really disturbed it."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I heard that I have arrived at the ministry, so it's nothing if I'm late. Please ask my father-in-law to announce the edict."

Li You cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty's Holy Order."

"My minister Lin Yanchao listens to the Hadith!"

After saying that, Lin Yanchao led officials from the Ministry of Rites to bow to the ground.

Li You nodded slightly and said, "The third prince I have born is freely ordered, but I think of the ancestors' teachings to establish a legitimate note, so I booked it for the queen to give birth to a son. Now the eldest son and the third son of the emperor have all grown up. Although the emperor's five sons want to be granted a king at the same time, in order to wait for the legitimate to be appointed in the future, but the Ministry of Rites will choose a date to carry out the ceremony."

Li You remembered it well and said the imperial edict word by word, which has always been his very proud point.

After Li You finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yanchao, but saw that the other party didn't say a word.

Li You coughed lightly, but saw Lin Yanchao still didn't respond.

Li You and Wang Wu looked at each other, then his voice rose eighth and said, "Why don't the Minister of Rites accept the order quickly?"

At this time, Lin Yanchao had already stood up from the ground, and he was the only one among the officials of the Ministry of Rites in the audience.

But Lin Yanchao shook the dust on his official robe as if no one was around.

"Why didn't the Minister of Rites accept the order?" Li You asked.

Lin Yanchao glanced at Li You and said, "It is probably too hasty to do such a big deal for the three kings to be conferred such a big deal based on oral instructions."

Li You laughed and said, "Why can the Minister of Rites believe in our family? Do you want to enter the palace to meet the saint?"

Lin Yanchao laughed and said, "How dare you, how dare you?"

Lin Yanchao stroked the short beard on his lips and said, "At least there must be a copy of the six subjects!"

Li You sneered and thought to himself, thinking that Lin Yanchao was going to do something, but it turned out that he was going to find fault in the process. Fortunately, Wang Xijue had already expected that he would come here in person, just to guard against his actions.

Li You ordered Lieutenant Lieke, who was following, to hand the copy to Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao opened the document and looked at the sun in the setting sun for a long time, then said, "Please let me go back to the court to read."

Li You laughed twice and said, "No need! Just ask for a candle, let's see here!"

Two officials from the Ministry of Rites brought out candles.

At this time, Lin Yanchao finished reading the copy and shook his head: "It's still unbelievable."

Wang Wudao below: "Bao Zongbo, this is a copy of the Li Ke, what else can you believe?"

Lin Yanchao shook his head and said, "It's time to compare one thing. I'll just read the original intention. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Li You smiled and said with a sharp smile: "What a Lin Sanyuan, who is so tough. Could it be that Liuke will copy the emperor's will wrong? Well, if our family brought the original intention today, it would have been worn out."

After saying that, Li You opened a box wrapped in yellow cloth and handed over the original purpose of the red pen to Lin Yanchao.

Just in front of everyone, Lin Yanchao took the candle and burned it on the candlelight!
Chapter completed!
