Chapter 81: Yao Guangxiao's Confusion
"Yao Guangxiao received the order!"
Puchi.
Yao Guangxiao, who was drinking tea with peace of mind, suddenly heard a long and sharp voice from outside, calling out his name.
A sip of tea was still in his mouth and it was completely sprayed out.
He was confused at this moment. Did he hear it wrong? Why did the imperial edict come to me?
Yao Guangxiao was a little excited and restless at this moment, wondering if he had hallucinations just now.
"Yao Guangxiao, if you don't come out quickly to receive the order, what do you want to do? Is it impossible to resist the order?"
Just when Yao Guangxiao was still suspicious of himself, the voice sounded again, with a hint of anger.
As an angel who preaches the order, under normal circumstances, there is no entry to find someone.
Instead, in front of the door, the people who were sending messages and waiting for the order to come.
This is the majesty of the imperial edict.
If you come slowly, you will despise the emperor and punish the sin of great disrespect.
The crime of disrespect seems to be a big or small problem, but in fact, it was not even a problem to be beheaded in feudal society.
Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao did not have the duty to hesitate. He staggered and hurriedly walked towards the vestibule.
In the front courtyard of the royal palace, the eunuch was sent to hold the imperial edict and stood in the center. On both sides were two rows of Jinyiwei.
Even King Yan Zhu Di stood by and remained silent to show respect for the imperial edict.
"Yao Guangxiao, please respectfully ask the saint to be at peace."
Yao Guangxiao did not hesitate and immediately walked quickly to the eunuch who was sent to the imperial eunuch, knelt on his knees, touched the ground with his forehead, and spoke.
Walking quickly is a respect for the imperial edict. If you see the imperial edict, you will run over.
Sorry, I don’t have to accept the imperial edict, wait for the vegetable market to behead it.
In order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, Zhu Yuanzhang not only strictly controlled all aspects, but also had many strict requirements on etiquette and law.
In terms of receiving imperial edicts, the requirements are extremely complicated.
Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no need to kneel on both knees when receiving imperial edicts. For example, during the Song Dynasty, scholars and officials only had to bow and express their respect.
Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that whenever an imperial edict arrives, not only the person who receives the edict will kneel down to greet him, but even the whole family and relatives will kneel down to greet him together to show his grand power.
If you are giving grace and granting imperial edicts such as enfeoffment, you must even place incense tables, and after receiving the imperial edict, you must place the imperial edict at home for worship.
From this aspect, it can actually be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang himself has a strong sense of vanity and is very proud of his face.
Generally, those who don’t give him face are basically buried in the soil.
Perhaps it was because of the begging that Zhu Yuanzhang lost all his dignity, so after he stood up, he needed dignity more than anyone else.
Most of the strict etiquette and laws are formulated on the premise of maintaining the dignity of the royal family.
The main maker is Zhu Yuanzhang himself.
This time, Yao Guangxiao’s imperial edict belongs to the type of summons, and it is relatively simple and casual.
When the eunuch passed the imperial eunuch saw Yao Guangxiao, the anger on his face also disappeared.
It’s not that he really wants to get angry, but that if he doesn’t get angry, he might be impeached by the Jinyiwei when he goes back.
As the eunuch group during the Hongwu period, they didn't want to offend anyone at all.
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun ordered: Summon the monk Yao Guangxiao and enter the capital immediately. There must be no delay. I respect this!"
"Long live my emperor!"
Yao Guangxiao lowered his head and raised his hands, took over the imperial edict, and then stood up.
The Jinyiwei knelt on one knee around them, and they also stood up one after another, including some servants and servants from the Yan Prince's Mansion, who had also knelt on both knees before.
Only Zhu Di, bowed his head. This was his privilege as a prince.
Zhu Yuanzhang is still very caring for his children and grandchildren, and basically, the royal family members do not need to kneel down to greet him.
"Okay, clean up and set off immediately." The eunuch who passed the imperial eunuch said casually.
Those who receive such imperial edicts cannot be delayed. At most, they must leave with two pieces of clothing.
Yao Guangxiao's mood was extremely complicated at this moment. He turned his head to look at King Yan Zhu Di, with a little hesitant expression.
Obviously, I wanted to have something to talk to King Yan Zhu Di in private.
It was just that the eunuch and the Jinyiwei were present, so it was impossible for him to have a chance to speak.
Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao, nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew what Yao Guangxiao meant, and there was no need to say more.
Seeing this, Yao Guangxiao looked a little moved. After nodding and leaving with him.
A monk had nothing to carry, and the food and drink expenses along the way were all reimbursed by the post station.
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand Yao Guangxiao's mood when he embarked on the journey to the capital again.
He has great ambitions and wants to display his talents in this world of great tomorrow.
However, I have never been valued and can't even get a position as a small official.
He chose Zhu Di because he had long known Zhu Di's fear of being afraid. He was proficient in Yin-Yang numerology and felt that his chance was lies with King Yan Zhu Di.
This is also his purpose of following the King of Yan to Beiping and always entering and leaving the palace.
But if he had a choice, how could he think about taking the path of rebellion?
Once upon a time, only a small magistrate was needed, which was satisfying for Yao Guangxiao.
However, in recent years, as he grows older, he is no longer satisfied.
In Yao Guangxiao's opinion, he must have wanted to use him.
But his heart already belongs to His Highness King Yan.
"How great would it be if it could be ten years earlier."
Yao Guangxiao is already fifty-seven this year. Ten years ago, on the fifteenth year of Hongwu, he entered the capital to meet the saint.
Even if it is for the position of a small monk, it is impossible to obtain.
Now as a military advisor of His Highness King Yan, he no longer looks down on those small positions.
Of course, he didn't know at this moment that His Majesty had no intention of reusing him.
It was entirely because Dasun mentioned it and attached some importance to him, so he summoned him casually.
If Yao Guangxiao knew about this, he would probably be in a completely different mood now.
.........
"This, this, how is this possible? Are all these? This is all over the mountains and fields, and God blesses the Ming Dynasty!!!"
Shen Wei, the Minister of Works, looked at the sweet potatoes and potato leaves near the barren mountain, and was stunned.
These leaves may look like weeds, but Shen Wei knew that the buried under these leaves were potatoes and sweet potatoes.
There are also corn poles on the mountain that are like saplings, and the corn has already been ripe and exposed.
Not only Shen Li, but also the civil servants who accompanied him all showed ecstasy expressions.
One of the Minister of Revenue was like a madman, who ran to the sweet potato leaves to dig the soil without regard for his own demeanor, and digged directly with bare hands.
"I'm afraid this person is crazy."
The generals and many soldiers looked over with some confusion, just like looking at a fool.
However, the next moment, more than ten people led by Chen Wei ran over like the one in front of him, roaring and digging towards the ground.
Chen Li dug a few times, and saw these soldiers standing next to him foolishly watching the show, he couldn't help but roar:
Chapter completed!
