Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 973 What do you want to do?
In the perception of many common people, the emperor's seal is the so-called imperial seal, which is a seal that is placed on the emperor's desk and used at any time.

But in fact, the real imperial seal, whether it is preserved or used, has strict regulations.

In the official regulations of the imperial court, the imperial seals are called imperial treasures, and there are [-] pieces in total, which are used in different scenarios.

Under normal circumstances, there is a special female official of Sibao in the palace who is responsible for the daily preservation of the imperial treasures. However, the female official of Sibao is only responsible for preservation and has no right to use it.

The one who really uses Bao's power is the Wai Shang Bao Si, which is different from the Shang Bao Supervisor in the inner palace. The Wai Shang Bao Si is a serious imperial government office, and the officials in it are also court officials.

In the process of issuing the imperial decree, if it is some daily routine government affairs, such as some imperial documents, such as the official documents of the Ministry of Officials, such as the official documents of the Ministry of Officials, the yellow book of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the official documents of the Ministry of Accounting, after being approved by Emperor Zhu , will return to each Yamen.

After the yamen were reorganized, they took the memorials approved by the emperor Zhu and went to the Shangbao Department to apply for treasures.

After confirming Zhu's approval, Shang Baosi wrote the post, and entered the palace to Shang Baojian. After receiving the post, the eunuch Shang Bao went to the imperial court to ask for an order.

Afterwards, the eunuch Shang Bao took the imperial treasure to the outside of Fengtian Gate and handed it to Shang Baoqing, who then used the treasure on the imperial decree that had been written. One copy is kept in Shangbao Division, and one copy is kept by Shangbao Supervisor for inspection.

In a sense, what is really important is not the seal on the paper, but the entire process of using the treasure, from the Emperor Zhu's approval to Shang Baosi's unveiling of the post. , Yongbaokan combines this series of traces of Yongbao and the officials, female officials, and eunuchs who participated in it.

This is also one of the reasons why the effectiveness of the emperor's decree will be greatly reduced. Under normal circumstances, the decree is written by the emperor, and then he directly orders Shang Baojian to take the imperial treasure. During the whole process, the foreign Shang Baosi did not participate. Naturally, there are no preserved Zhu Zhu, exposing posts, reconnaissance and other things.

Without these, to put it bluntly, it is actually difficult to verify the authenticity of the imperial decree. After all, although it is difficult to forge the seal, it is not impossible if there are people who are specialized in this way.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, if the emperor issued a central decree, or it was too late to go through such a process in an emergency, then in order to prove the authenticity of the imperial decree, there would be other supporting evidence, such as the king's order flag card and the walking horse talisman , Mobilization of troops, reconnaissance and other things.

In addition, Imperial Treasure also has strict regulations on the details of use.

For example, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, using the emperor to enshrine the treasure of heaven, summoning the clan Qin Wang, dispatching troops and dispatching generals, using the emperor's trust treasure, edicting the clan relatives, using the emperor's kiss treasure, recruiting foreign service, conscripting corvee, using the emperor's trust treasure, edict Books use the treasure of making edicts, and edicts use the treasure of edicts...all of these have codes.

Roughly speaking, imperial treasures can be divided into three types in terms of names.

The first one starts with the emperor and is used for internal affairs with strong etiquette. For example, the emperor enshrines the treasure of heaven, which is used to sacrifice heaven and earth; Send troops to pacify civil strife and so on.

The second type starts with the Son of Heaven and is used for foreign affairs related to the territory, such as the Treasure of the Son of Heaven, which is used to worship mountains and rivers, ghosts and gods, and pray for the stability of the frontier, and the Son of Heaven to Trust Treasures, which is used to appease foreign officials and conscript corvee, etc.

The last type has neither emperor nor son of heaven. It is generally used for highly specialized government affairs, such as the treasure of imperial edicts used in imperial edicts, the treasure of imperial orders used in edicts, and the treasure of fortune used in rewarding ministers and workers. All belong to this column.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the imperial decree in front of Yang Jun is for canonization of foreign countries, and should use the emperor's treasure, but in fact, this imperial decree uses the emperor's treasure that can only be used for amnesty.

This is not right!

Yang Jun frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively.

"This... Could it be that the female officer of Si Bao in the palace, or Shang Baojian, made a mistake?"

When this question was asked, Yang Jun himself thought it was ridiculous. Both Shang Baojian and Shang Baosi, what they did on weekdays was to use treasures.

Daming's guarding and handling of the imperial treasure is extremely strict, even if the female officer of Sibao took the wrong one, Shang Baojian will definitely check it again before taking it away.

Even if both are negligent and take the wrong imperial treasure, don't forget that the Shang Baojian is only responsible for taking the treasure and has no right to use it.

Even if it is the imperial decree, if it does not go through Shang Baosi, then the emperor himself should be the one who actually uses the treasure in this imperial decree.

It's impossible, the emperor also made a mistake, right?

Faced with Yang Jun's question, Yang Jie smiled and said.

"Treasures used by the court have their own rules and regulations. Such an obvious mistake can be recognized at a glance by any minister who has stayed in the court for a long time."

While talking, Yang Jie blinked and said.

"I would like to ask my second brother a question. If it were you, you received an imperial decree to immediately dispatch troops to attack Miyagi, but there was no dispatch of troops, no gold and silver medals, what would you do? "

Yang Jun spoke without thinking, and said.

"Of course it's a matter of standing still and sending people to the Ministry of War and the palace to verify..."

So Yang Jie asked again.

"Then what if there is no endorsement from the cabinet, no counter-signature from the six divisions, but only a seal in this imperial decree, and this seal is all used wrongly?"

Yang Jun was not stupid after all, his eyes immediately fell on the imperial decree in front of him.

If we really encountered the situation Yang Jie mentioned, let alone dispatching troops, any general would probably take down the person who delivered the decree on the spot and punish him for the crime of falsely passing the imperial decree.

and so……

"Xiaojie, what do you mean is that His Majesty made this decree on purpose?"

Hearing this question, Yang Jie's expression was a little unnatural, but he quickly returned to normal, sneered, and said.

"There is neither the cabinet's signature, nor the six divisions' countersignatures, and even the monk Baosi in the palace has no record of using treasures. Even if this item is brought to the capital, why should it be said that it is an imperial decree?"

"What's more, when the Supreme Emperor was hunting in the north, he also forged the imperial decree in vain, and now he dares to repeat the same trick. His Majesty did not punish him for a serious crime of disrespect, it is all grace!"

This... can I still say that?
Yang Jun blinked his eyes, and it took a long time to smooth out the joints in the middle.

Of course, after he understood it, he thought of another question.

That is, even if the imperial decree was not signed by the cabinet and counter-signed by the Sixth Division, after all, the imperial treasure was moved, and even if Shangbaosi could be bypassed, the female officer of Sibao and the Shangbao Supervisor would definitely leave a record.

But looking at Yang Jie's appearance, he is sure that there is no record in the palace. Could it be that the emperor even erased the record of Yongbao?

No, there must be records for all the use of imperial treasures, this is a regulation, even the emperor, it is impossible to violate the regulations and erase these records.

After all, if there are records, there will be those who have recorded them. There are quite a few people who have to go through the imperial treasure to use it. It is meaningless to simply eliminate the records on paper.

On the contrary, deliberately erasing Yongbao's records will make people suspicious.

It's impossible, the emperor killed all the female officials of Si Bao and eunuch Shang Bao for this matter...

Just when he was about to ask again, he changed his mind, even if these records exist, but since they are kept in the inner palace, it is the same as not having them.

After all, without the permission of the emperor, it is impossible for anyone to read the records in the inner palace.

As for whether people will see through the imperial decree first, he is not worried.

How to use imperial treasures is not a secret in Daming, but it is not known to everyone.

If you are not very familiar with the canon system, or a minister who has experienced many years in the court, it is difficult to see the problem at a glance.

Just like Yang Jun himself, at the very beginning, he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with this edict.

Of course, the main reason is that forging imperial edicts is a serious crime that will kill your head.

Therefore, Yang Jun didn't think in this direction at all.

Wait for others first, after all, they are grassland tribes, so this imperial decree is enough to deceive them.

After realizing it, Yang Jun felt relieved and said.

"So it turns out that His Majesty's plan for your safety is indeed a mighty grace of the Emperor!"

Hearing this, Yang Jie's face became a little inexplicable. After a while, he looked up in the direction of the capital and said.

"That's right, Your Majesty has treated me so graciously, it's hard to repay God's kindness!"

The tone in these words was a bit complicated, but Yang Jun didn't hear it. After thinking about it, he asked.

"Then Xiaojie, what shall we do next? Should we hand over this imperial decree to Bodu?"

Yang Jie came back to his senses, pondered for a moment, shook his head lightly, and said.

"Second brother will know tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll make the people below stand by at any time..."

Although Yang Jun still had doubts, he didn't ask any more questions and just nodded slightly.

…………

The next day.

Under Yang Jie's instructions, Yang Jun and his men packed up their luggage early on, and kept guarding around the tent.

In order to guard Yang Jie, this camp was chosen on a hillside. Looking down from the top, it was an endless grassland.

It is conceivable that if they want to escape secretly, even if they go out of the camp without any cover, they will not go far at all, and they will be discovered.

However, the advantage is that even if someone comes over, they can clearly understand it.

As the sun was rising, Yang Jun was checking the next details with Yang Jie in the tent, when someone outside the tent came to report.

"Major General, Fourth Young Master, someone is here!"

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, stood up at the same time, and walked out of the tent.

In the distance, a large group of cavalry came galloping, Yang Jun took a rough look, then frowned, and said in a low voice.

"Xiaojie, look at the team, there are about 500 people, something is not right, be careful!"

However, facing this situation, Yang Jie was not in a hurry, said.

"Second brother, don't worry, I have a measure!"

As the teams in the distance got closer and closer, they finally stopped outside the camp gate. Not long after, Bodu, who was dressed in Mongolian aristocratic costumes, came in with a few followers.

"Fourth son, Second General Yang, how are you resting?"

Bodu was as enthusiastic as ever, but looking at his smile, Yang Jun couldn't help but secretly raised his vigilance.

On the other hand, Yang Jie, also smiling, bowed his hands in return, and said.

"Thanks to Your Excellency, I am very happy to meet my brother."

While talking, Yang Jie stretched out his hand to make an invitation letter.

"Since your Excellency is here, why don't you come in and talk?"

But this time, Bodu didn't move, he just stood there and said with a smile.

"There's no need to go in. Since the Fourth Young Master has already met General Yang Er, I wonder when the Fourth Young Master will give me the things that the Fourth Young Master promised?"

Although he said this with a smile, his tone was obviously much tougher.

Yang Jun's face turned serious, his eyes secretly fell on the hundreds of cavalry outside the camp, and he let out a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, he guessed right, this Bodu is indeed a bad person!
Seeing this situation, Yang Jie also suppressed his smile and said.

"Your Excellency must be too anxious. Didn't Your Excellency search all the people that your second brother brought just now last night?"

"If you really have what you want, wouldn't you have already got it?"

Hearing this, the smile on Bodu's face remained unchanged, and he continued.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have the fourth son. I came here this time to bring people. There are [-] cavalry outside, who can escort the fourth son's people to get back what I took."

"Where was that general yesterday? I have fulfilled his request and let him meet the Fourth Young Master. Now, it is time for him to fulfill his promise."

All the people present were wearing armor, even the Oirat soldiers were tightly wrapped.

Yang Jie was the only one, wearing a Confucian student's large armband and crown, wearing a thick cloak and a fur cloak. The cold north wind blew past, and the sleeves of his clothes were blowing, but his faint voice seemed to be inexplicably the same. cold.

"Then, what if I don't want to hand it over?"

Bodu's face suddenly sank, said.

"Fourth son, don't forget, this is Wala, not Daming!"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, Yang Jun and all the generals all pressed their hands on the handle of the long knife at the same time.

However, Yang Jie was still calm, he looked up at Bodu, with a playful look on his face, and said.

"Your Excellency is right, this is Wala, not Daming, but so what?"

"If I remember correctly, it seems that Wala is the one who makes the decision, isn't it Your Excellency?"

"Or, if I really don't want to hand over people, what do you plan to do? Do you rely on the few people around you to grab it, or take your 500 people to the camp?"

"Yang Jie!"

After these few words, Bodu's face turned livid with naked eyes, and he said angrily.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Looking at this look, Yang Jun was at a loss.

He realized that his brain was not enough. When Bodu came over yesterday, although he had fake enthusiasm for them, he could clearly feel that Bodu had a different attitude towards Yang Jie.

However, there may be some secrets involved in this, and time is tight, so Yang Jun didn't ask carefully last night.

Why now, the two suddenly turned their faces?

Also, isn't this the territory of Wala? What did Yang Jie mean just now?
Hard grab?Break into camp?
As a Bodu, is it necessary to do this?

The current scene really made Yang Jun a little confused...
