Seven hundred and seven chapters of the title

Inside the Zhongji Hall.

The little emperor was eating nectarines while lying on the dragon throne with his legs raised, without any king's honor.

Since Zhang Juzheng retired, Empress Dowager Li has also lived in the Buddhist temple. Now she is enjoying her grandchildren and does not interfere in political affairs.

Therefore, after the little emperor was unrestrained, he became more and more indulgent in himself.

Modern education proves that a person is more oppressed when he is young, but when he grows up, he will be like a tight spring, rebounding more violently, and will be more unscrupulous than when he is young.

If the emperor stepped on the imperial desk today, it would be unimaginable if it was the past.

He didn't scold him when he saw him, but no one in the palace dared to persuade him. Only Feng Bao and Zhang Hong came will give them some face.

"Wang Qing's family, these peaches are quite fresh, please try them." The little emperor pointed.

Wang Jiaping bowed and said, "I am not afraid to surpass my duties."

"Lin Qing's family!"

Lin Yanchao also bowed and said, "I dare not surpass the rules."

"You guys are really... Forget it, I'll read the memorial!" The little emperor yawned for a long time.

The birth of Huang Yuanzi was a great joy.

Not only did Lin Yanchao give his wife and son with this, but the other royal relatives and court officials also looked at the emperor and gave some rewards.

Now that Lin Yanchao has returned to the forbidden area, the little emperor is facing these major events.

The little emperor took the memorial and looked at it a few times, then threw it impatiently on Zhang Jing's face and said, "I can't bear to see it, you can read it for me."

Zhang Jing held a memorial with nectarine juice and said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet intends to ask Wang Daoheng to bring his salary to the Jinyiwei to command."

The little emperor asked, "Who is Wang Daoheng? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Zhang Jing reported: "The small note says that Wang Daoheng is the brother of Concubine Gong."

The little emperor frowned and said, "How can this be done? How can the imperial official positions be rewarded at will? Wang Qing's family, what do you think?" From the words of the little emperor, we can see that the little emperor is indeed not very good to Concubine Gong.

Wang Jiaping said: "Your Majesty brings his salary to command, just to enjoy the salary, but there is no idle official. The cabinet plan is just a matter of the rules and not too much."

The little emperor waved his hand and said, "Okay, I agree, I will take it to my partner for a look."

Zhang Jingyu walked outside the hall with the memorial, handed it over to the eunuch outside the hall, and then returned to the hall.

Zhang Jing also read: "The cabinet intends to ask to add two characters to the emblem of the Virgin Mary of the two palaces."

The little emperor said dissatisfiedly: "There are too few words. My eldest son was born. I rely on two mothers and queens. How can I add only two words? If I want to add four words, I will change the cabinet."

After Zhang Jing gave the instructions, he handed it over to Wang Jiaping to deliver it to the door and directly to the cabinet.

Zhang Jing also read: "The cabinet intends to invite the royal family, Wuqing Bo Li Wei, to be promoted to the Marquis of Wuqing."

The little emperor said without hesitation: "I agree, please check it out."

"The cabinet intends to invite Feng Bao's brother and nephew to be the deputy governor, eunuch Zhang Hong, Ciqing Palace, Cining Palace, Qianqing Palace, each in charge of the family, or the commander of the Jinyiwei, and thousands of households of the Jinyiwei."

The little emperor nodded and said, "I agree, I will leave it to my great companion."

After a while, the memorial was selected and handed back. The first two letters were written according to the wishes of the little emperor, but the last letter did not fall into the red pen.

The little emperor looked at it and asked, "Why is the third letter not criticized?"

Zhang Dashou, who sent the memorial, said: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Feng said that this memorial is unreasonable, so it is not allowed."

"Why is it unreasonable?"

"This villain doesn't know."

Seeing Zhang Jing winked frequently, the young emperor said: "The great companion has served me for more than ten years and has worked hard and made great contributions. If he refuses, then other internal supervisors in the palace dare not receive rewards. Please let the great companion discuss with the cabinet."

"Yes." Zhang Dashou received the order to retreat.

The little emperor looked at Zhang Jing and asked, "You just say anything?"

Zhang Jing said: "It's Your Majesty. I heard that Feng Yan ordered Mr. Zhang of the cabinet to be awarded the title. But Mr. Zhang rejected Feng Yan on the grounds that this dynasty had no such precedent."

"What kind of companion wants to be awarded a title?" the little emperor said furiously.

"His Majesty calmed down." Zhang Jing's face looked joyful.

The little emperor said to Wang Jiaping, Lin Yanchao: "How did this dynasty discuss titles? Tell me something."

Wang Jiaping came out of the rank and said, "Report to your Majesty, there are only Duke, Marquis, and Boss of the Ming Dynasty. There is no son and the second male title. If the title is granted by a different surname, it is at least an earl. The ancestor's ancestral system, "any title is not allowed to be granted unless the country's military merits are made. Later, he added descendants of Yan Shenggong, the son-in-law, the governor, and the relatives of the foreigners can also be granted."

"Why is there any saying in this dynasty that the dynasty is granted title?"

Wang Jiaping said: "It seems that this has never happened before."

The little emperor looked at Lin Yanchao again and asked, "Isn't there really not? You know allusions from Lin Qing's family, tell me."

Lin Yanchao naturally knew that it was a taboo for eunuchs to be awarded titles. In the past, Gao Lishi and Tong Guan had awarded titles, but this dynasty did not have this example.

Lin Yanchao was unwilling to be guilty of Feng Bao, but he could not speak the truth, so he took a slight measure and replied: "Your Majesty, there has never been any. In the past, Liu Ma'er made a title for his military merits, but the cabinet refused. Later, the court appointed his nephew Liu Ju as the Body of Ning Jin."

Liu Ma'er is Liu Yongcheng, a eunuch who is as famous as Zheng He. He followed the Ming Chengzu to the north to fight against Mongolia three times, and within the official army.

According to the principle, Liu Yongcheng is already qualified to be awarded a title by military merit, but the civil servants still disagree, saying that the title of an internal official cannot be set.

In the end, the court gave a compromise and asked Liu Yongcheng's nephew Liu Ju to be the lord of Ning Jin. Liu Yongcheng himself did not get the title. Even so, the civil servant class was still unsatisfied and he picked Liu Ju's assassin all day long.

Lin Yanchao gave this example and implied that Feng Bao's contributions cannot be compared with Liu Yongcheng and cannot be awarded a title. But if Feng Bao does not award a title, you can also learn from Liu Yongcheng and Liu Ju and let your nephews be awarded a title.

Lin Yanchao's answer not only tells the facts, but also gives the emperor a reference.

Therefore, the little emperor was very satisfied.

At this time, Zhang Cheng said: "Your Majesty, the inner minister heard that Feng Qi had said privately that this time, Wu Qing Bo can be a marquis, so why can't he be awarded the title? He has been Your Majesty's great companion for more than ten years, and his contributions are not as good as Wu Qing Bo?"

After hearing this, the little emperor slapped the table and said angrily: "Uncle Wu Qing is my grandfather!"

Lin Yanchao also felt that Feng Bao's move was really unwise.

This time, he defeated Zhang Siwei, and made Liang Menglong the Minister of Personnel win a great victory. Therefore, he was proud of his request for title, which was also considered to be the first eunuch to be named in the Ming Dynasty and left a name in history.

But Feng Bao did not expect that the chief assistant Zhang Siwei would refuse.

Not to mention whether Zhang Siwei and Feng Bao are in the same mind, as long as he dares to agree to Feng Bao's title, the memorial of the Censor impeaching Zhang Siwei will be filled with the emperor's case the next day.

No matter how you say that the inner official has been awarded a title, there is no such precedent in this dynasty. Therefore, Zhang Siwei rejected Feng Bao's opinion this time, which is a legitimate reason.

When Liu Jin and Wang Zhi were there, they had no idea. Zhang Yong, who defeated Liu Jin, mentioned it, but was criticized by the civil servants.

Even if Zhang Siwei has this intention, he would not dare to set a precedent for Feng Bao...
