Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 449 Feng Bao's Palm Seal
Early the next morning, the edict was issued.

Eunuch Huang Mengyu, Chen Hong, etc., the chief inspector of ceremonies, passed on the decree of the empress, the decree of the imperial concubine, the imperial decree of the emperor, and the government offices of the cabinet, government, and ministry:
"Emperor Daxing, Bin Tianxian, summoned the three ministers of the cabinet to the imperial couch, and made a will with my mother and three people. He said that the East Palace was young and wanted them to assist. Accompanying the East Palace to study. Today, the East Palace inherits the order, reads the will of the Emperor Daxing, and specially adds Gao Gong, a senior scholar, as the Taifu. In addition, he is accompanied by the high-ranking and pragmatic resignation prince. He is still a former official, and the special appointment is to observe politics, all from the original office.

Also, there was an eunuch Meng Chong who took the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies, thinking that the grand palace of the emperor Daxing was not completed, he could not sleep well, and could not eat well.The three of us, my mother and my son, felt that he was lonely and loyal, and that he was righteous as a minister, so his speech was approved.Meng Chong was changed to the eunuch guarding Changping and in charge of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, and his nephew Jin Yiwei was in charge of the affairs.

Due to the vacancy of the seal of the supervisor of rites, Feng Bao was the eunuch of the supervisor of rites, and dispatched various supervisors, divisions, and bureaus; Huang Mengyu, Chen Hong, Zhang Cheng, and Chen Ju were still the eunuchs of the supervisor of rites; The eunuch of the factory; Chen Hong is also the eunuch of the imperial supervisor, who is in charge of the four divisions of cherished salary, bells and drums, treasure banknotes, and mixed halls, and is also in charge of the internal carrier warehouse and key storehouse; Scarves and hats, needlework, inner weaving and dyeing, wine and vinegar noodles, and the seven bureaus of Siyuan; Chen Ju is still in charge of the imperial horse supervisor and eunuch, and the other is in charge of the military battle bureau. "

After the edict of the "Trinity" was issued to various governments, ministries, and courts, it immediately aroused widespread discussion, because this edict is indeed quite mysterious.

Gao Gong and Taifu may be the least disturbing thing among them. After all, he is the elder of the three dynasties and the chief assistant of Tuogu. At this time, I saw Gao Gong with a higher status.Besides, the new emperor ascended the throne to reward veterans, which is also the meaning of the question. It is nothing more than that Gao Gong has nothing to reward in terms of real power, and can only improve this honorary status.

Moreover, Gao Gong really deserves the honor of Taifu—he was the emperor's tutor of Emperor Daxing. Now, Gao Gong has been regarded as the master of two generations of emperors.

Two generations of emperor teachers, what's the matter with the title of Taifu?reasonable.

One thing that surprised the Outer Court was the adjustment of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.First of all, the adjustment of the chief inspector of ceremonies is in principle a matter of the emperor's family. According to the usual practice, the replacement of the chief inspector of ceremonies usually only needs to be notified to the cabinet, and then the cabinet will inform the six ministries and various courts.

But this time it was different, the Shangyu did not say anything, and directly notified the ministries.This is a bit weird, as if the palace is eager to let everyone know about this adjustment.

What's the rush in the palace?Shouldn't everything be kept quiet at this time?
What's more, Meng Chong's resignation was also very strange. If Meng Chong was just one of the eunuchs who held pens in the supervisor of ceremonies, it would make sense for him to resign from supervising the construction of the Daxing Emperor's Mausoleum, or to take over the post and concurrently supervising the construction.But he is a palm print eunuch, equivalent to the chief assistant of the inner court. In such a position, how can it be possible to resign in general?Is it really because of having too much affection for Emperor Daxing?

But if you want to say that he made a mistake and was demoted, it seems unreasonable. He not only supervised the construction of the imperial mausoleum, but also served as the eunuch guarding Changping. It can be seen that the palace still trusts him, not to mention the fact that his nephew was in command of Jin Yiwei. It means that Rong Chong is also there.

As for Feng Bao and the others filling in one by one, they didn't seem very conspicuous. The one who really stood out among them was not Feng Bao, but Huang Mengyu.

Huang Mengyu skipped over Chen Hong and took control of Dongchang. This is the only exception in the "replenishment" by the supervisor this time.

Originally, Huang Mengyu's qualifications were lower than Chen Hong's, and his ranking in the Supervisor of Rituals was also lower than Chen Hong's. This time, he was the admiral of the East Factory instead of Chen Hong. This only shows that Huang Mengyu's status in the inner court has risen. , and although Chen Hong's real power is wider, the actual core power is still to manage the financial expenses in the palace, which is equivalent to standing still and being surpassed by Huang Mengyu.

As for Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju, they haven't changed much. One is in charge of archives and seals, and is also responsible for various supplies in the palace;

Is the adjustment of the Supervisor of Rituals significant?That depends on who answers.

For those who want to take the route of the inner court to strive for promotion, it must have some meaning. At least the object of the gift has changed. Except for the part of directly giving money, the other parts must be adjusted accordingly to suit the preferences of the other party.

But the significance of this point is almost negligible-if it doesn’t work, just send all the money and it’s over!

So what about the other courtiers?As far as they are concerned, the personnel adjustment of the supervisor of ceremonies has nothing to do with their half a penny.This is also the reason why the supervisor of ceremonies never issued an order to adjust personnel in the past.

Many officials ridiculed in private: "The two palaces and the emperor either don't know the rules, or they deliberately show their favor to the cabinets and ministries, so they even know the adjustments of the inner court so clearly!"

It was a matter of course for Gao Gong to give birth to the grand tutor, and they didn't care about the adjustment of the inner court, except for another small matter that they felt could be discussed for a while.

The original words of the Shangyu are "The high-ranking and pragmatic resignation is accompanied by the prince, but he is still a former official, and he is specially appointed to observe politics, and all follow the original secretary's own duties."

"Still pretending to be the original official" means "falsely serving as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and fake Zhan Shifu Zuochunfang Zuoyude"; What did you do before, what do you still do now.

Well, this is an explanatory addendum.

That is to say, Gao Yushi resigned from the prince to study with him, which was approved by the two palaces and the emperor, and because Emperor Daxing had a will before his death, so he changed his post to "Guanzheng", in fact, he only started from "accompanying the prince to study" Has it become "studying with the emperor"?
But it makes sense in principle to accompany the prince to study, but it doesn't make sense to accompany the emperor to study in principle!

However, this problem is not particularly serious after all, and besides, it is the Emperor Daxing's will, everyone still plans to take a look at the reaction of the cabinet and various ministries before deciding that it is not too late.

Anyway, the current imperial court is basically considered to be Gao Gong's family. Zhang Juzheng, who dared to challenge Gao Gong's authority some time ago, has been driven to Tianshou Mountain to find a cemetery since the death of Emperor Daxing, and it is probably too late to express his opinion.So this matter caused some officials to discuss privately, and then what to do.

How did they know that the edict promulgated today was the result of a long meeting between the two palaces in the palace last night, after a long discussion!

What are the two houses mainly discussing?It wasn't Gao Gong plus Tai Tuo, nor Gao Yushi's change to Guanzheng, it was the adjustment of the authority of the Supervisor of Ceremonies!
If it is more detailed, the main point of contention is whether Feng Bao should hand over the position of admiral of the East Factory, and if so, to whom!
