Chapter 121

First Young Master Liu looked around with the imperial decree, as expected, the things in the palace are really exquisite.

The material of the imperial decree is very fine, and the brocade fabrics made of fine silk are mostly auspicious clouds, auspicious cranes, and magnificent.There are flying silver dragon logos at both ends of the imperial decree.

As the documents and orders issued by the emperors of the past dynasties and the edicts or edicts issued by conferring meritorious officials or conferring titles, the richer the color of the imperial decree, the higher the official rank of the official receiving the conferment.The imperial edicts for officials above the fifth rank are relatively rich in colors, including three-color, five-color, and seven-color, and those below the fifth rank are generally a single pure white silk.

The imperial edicts are all in the form of scrolls, and the texture of the shaft handles is strictly different according to the rank of officials: the first rank is a jade shaft, the second rank is a black rhinoceros horn shaft, the third rank is a golden stick scroll, and the fourth and fifth ranks are black ox horn shafts.The width of the imperial edict is generally about one foot, and its length has not been strictly regulated in the past dynasties. It is more than ten feet long and two or three feet short.

The imperial decree is a special document for the emperor to announce to his subjects, appoint officials, enshrine the clan, commend merits and virtues, and inform foreign countries, etc. It reflects the power and majesty of the emperor.

The imperial decree can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties at the earliest, and there was no fixed form at that time. From the documents and bronze inscriptions left over from the pre-Qin period, you can often see instructions, edicts, oaths, orders, etc., which belong to the early imperial decrees. For example, King Wu of Zhou raised troops The "Oath of Mu", the prose to defeat Zhou, can be regarded as the earliest imperial decree.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, imperial edicts were mostly orders, orders, and policies.It was not until the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms that the order was changed to Zhi, and the order was changed to Zhao, so that the imperial decree had standard titles—Zhi, Zhao, Gao, and Chi—and these four forms have been used all the time.

Imperial edicts can be divided into imperial orders and edicts.In the long autocratic era, a set of highly hierarchical official conferral system was formed, which was used to satisfy the desire of bureaucrats and bureaucrats to "respect their ancestors and descendants" and make them loyal to the imperial court.

According to the system, Qin Enfeng awarded officials of the fifth rank and above and the successors of the Spyker were issued imperial orders; officials with Qin Enfeng's gifts of less than six ranks and those who had successors of the Spyque could only be issued imperial orders, and the wife was at the husband's level.

The Imperial Decree of the Dalong Pilgrimage is generally drafted by the Hanlin Academy. After the prime minister has made a decision, it will be issued according to the grade. The text is written in block letters, and the Chinese characters are written in parallel style. There are also strict restrictions on the format.The first is the fixed format of "Fengtian Chengyun". "Fengtian" comes from the "Chunqiu Fanlu" written by Dong Zhongshu, a great Confucian in the Western Han Dynasty.

"Chengyun" comes from the pre-Qin yin and yang family Zou Yan's "Five Virtues End and End Theory".

First, it briefly describes the relevant intentions of the emperor, then the official deeds or achievements of the recipients, and finally the rank and order of the conferees.The scope of imperial orders and edicts stipulates that the first-rank seals will be awarded to three generations, the second-rank and third-rank seals will be given to two generations, and the fourth-rank and lower ranks will be awarded to one generation.

The imperial edict that Young Master Liu received was not strictly an imperial edict at all, so there were no format regulations, only one sentence.

After the imperial decree was read out, Eunuch Fu said with a bitter face: "Everyone please rise up."

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

Liu Zhi'an's body trembled a little. The reason was naturally the sentence in the imperial decree. Entering the palace to accompany the crown prince to study, although the crown prince's companion has no position, it is just a title, but no one dares to underestimate this title. After the prince ascends the throne, he will inevitably become a powerful minister, and a powerful minister at that.

However, this is also a gamble. If the crown prince can ascend to the throne safely, he will be extremely glorious and glorious, but if he dies halfway, the whole family will be at risk.

Eunuch Fu's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum: "Liu Bandu, let's read congratulations to Liu Ban first, and Liu Bandu will support us a lot in the future. We are very grateful."

Liu Zhi'an rushed to Eunuch Fu's side faster than anyone else, and stuffed a thousand taels of silver bills in the past. Eunuch Fu was taken aback, glanced at him slightly, and took a deep breath. How to be rich is why.

Ordinary people will give you one ingot of silver at best, which is about ten taels of silver. Yes, I really met the master of the atmosphere.

Then he cracked his lips and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is so lucky. Once Mr. Liu becomes the prince's companion, he will definitely be an excellent minister in the future. The future is boundless. Congratulations from our family."

"Where is it, the child is young and doesn't know the rules. On the way to Beijing, please ask your father-in-law to teach you a lot." After speaking, another one hundred taels of silver bill was stuffed in the past.

Eunuch Fu put it away without even looking at it. He knew in his heart that the amount of banknotes would not be small: "You must rest assured, Mr. Liu."

Young Master Liu looked at the two people who were exchanging greetings and handed the imperial decree to Liu Song who was beside him: "Then what, I said that the old man still has this father-in-law, is it just to accompany the prince to study with the prince?"

"Extremely, extremely, Liu Ban is very lucky to study. Many princes and ministers wanted to send their children to the palace but failed. Unexpectedly, Mr. Liu met him."

First Young Master Liu frowned, and his face became embarrassing. Wouldn't he be a book boy to accompany the prince to study?Subconsciously, he looked at Liu Song who was fumbling around with the imperial decree. If he was happy, he would reward two of them, and if he was unhappy, he would give him a beating.What the hell is the old man's smiling face like a chrysanthemum?

Besides, if I don't remember anything, and I don't know what to do with the connection, wouldn't it be death to go to a place like the palace?

If you want to go, at least you can't go now, if you don't know anything else, at least you have a reputation, and it's not a big crime to resist the imperial edict of the dragon.

If Dalonglu really did what he said in the school, it would not be regarded as absurd.

Under the censor, the emperor didn't do whatever he wanted.

Young Master Liu figured out the expressions on his face, and he was a little reluctant: "Can I not go?"

The air fell into silence again, and Eunuch Fu looked dazed and couldn't react at all. Why is this master reluctant to get up for such a good thing that no one else is rushing to do.

Thinking of the old ancestor's instructions, Eunuch Fu thought of Liu Mingzhi's actions that he didn't even understand the order, and smiled secretly: "Liu Bandu, this is His Majesty's order. If you don't go, you will be disobeying the order, but you will be beheaded. Besides, Liu Bandu may not be aware of the importance of this companionship, as long as His Royal Highness ascends the throne, Liu Bandu will be ranked first and second rank in the dynasty within 20 years. It is not impossible to be the Prime Minister of the Ten Thousand People, Liu Ban, think twice!"

Liu Mingzhi was taken aback, and looked at Eunuch Fu strangely.

This young master studied the Dalong Law within a few days of his rebirth, and now there is no such thing as Zhu Xijun's idea of ​​humiliating his officials to death, and there is no need to behead him if he resists the decree and disrespect, okay? I haven't read the book for a few days, but it doesn't mean I haven't read the book.

Don't scare me, okay? Has the Dalong law been re-edited?

Eunuch Fu said that this is completely unreasonable, this is, it is not according to the law of the dragon!
Young Master Liu understood that if he went, he might not be a high official, if he didn't go, he would definitely die. Isn't this the overlord's clause?

I don't know any rules. If I go there, I will definitely get into trouble. I have to postpone it until I get familiar with the environment.

How to refuse it.

Sickness, malaria, plague, no, no, no, this is a shame.

After pondering for a while: "Eunuch, when are you going?"

"Rush to the capital immediately within one month."

"One month? So fast, can't you?"

Eunuch Fu's face was bewildered, is this Lord still planning to resist the edict?

"Is there any difficulty in Liu Ban's reading, our family can help you solve it."

"You can't, you can't solve it. Besides, only I can solve this matter. Who will help my young master kill him?"

"Eh? I don't know?"

Gritting his teeth, Liu Mingzhi seemed to have made some decision: "Enter the bridal chamber!"

Young Master Liu grabbed Qi Yun's hand and pulled her over: "Let me formally introduce you to my father-in-law. The lady who has never been married will get married on the sixth day of June. Who will get married when I come to Beijing in a month? Someone else help me? Are you insane?"

In order to save his life and not provoke the imperial power, Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to do so.

Qi Yun's face was flushed, and she wanted to break free, but Young Master Liu held her tightly, so she could only lower her head shyly, not daring to look at the crowd.

Eunuch Fu also hesitated, this matter really can't be solved by others, he can't be married instead of Liu Ban, that might really kill someone.

Qi Run surrounded him and said, "It's okay, it's okay, my daughter and nephew Liu Xian will get married within a month, and I promise not to delay nephew Liu Xian's entry to Beijing." Then he looked at Liu Zhi'an enthusiastically : "Dear family, what do you think of this matter?"

Just like an old friend for many years.Liu Zhi'an grabbed Qi Run's hands: "Do whatever the in-laws say. It's best to let the children get married early, let the in-laws decide the date of the wedding!"

"Hey, in-laws, you decide!"

"It's still your in-laws!"
