"The Supreme Emperor must be under strict guard. I believe that the Jin Yiwei have done their best to bring back the Supreme Emperor's blood edict. If they can bring the Supreme Emperor back safe and sound, I think the Jin Yiwei will definitely do it. We must not chill the hearts of those who have done the deeds. "The guarding eunuch Yang Guorui looked at Cheng Guogong and said.
At the same time, these words were also addressed to the other two auxiliary ministers.
Duke Cheng Guo didn't want to let it go just like that, and still said: "Since the Supreme Emperor is under strict guard, how can we prove that the origin of the blood edict came from the hands of the Supreme Emperor? Eunuch Yang, you won't find a Jin Yiwei to get a blood letter from somewhere. Let’s just say it’s the blood edict of the Supreme Emperor!”
"What do you mean, Duke Cheng Guo, this blood edict was forged by our family?" Eunuch Yang pretended to squint his eyes and looked at Duke Cheng Guo.
Cheng Guogong spread his hands with an innocent face and said, "I didn't say that, but it's not impossible."
"Then let everyone else take a look at this blood edict to see if it was written by the Supreme Emperor." The guarding eunuch Yang Guorui was not angry because of Cheng Guogong's provocation. Instead, he asked the little eunuch with the blood edict to give it to others. People watch.
At this time, Wei Guogong said: "Eunuch Yang, the authenticity of this blood edict is not yet certain. I think it is best not to show it to others. We will decide whether to show it to others after we have confirmed the authenticity." .”
Faced with this bloody edict that was not good for him, he wanted Yang Guorui to give up, or at least discuss it before deciding whether to publish it.
As for the authenticity of the blood edict, it didn't matter to him.
Unless the Supreme Emperor is here, whether this thing is true or false is entirely decided by the assistant ministers.
The guarding eunuch Yang Guorui naturally understood the meaning of Wei Guogong's words, but since he took out the bloody edict in public in the court, he had no intention of concealing it.
"We think we should let everyone take a look, so as not to be accused of us being a few auxiliary ministers working together to control the imperial court." Yang Guorui, the guarding eunuch, replied to Wei Guogong, and then said to the young eunuch beside him, "You are still here. What are you doing, why don’t you show it to others.”
After hearing this, the young eunuch hurriedly carried the blood edict and walked to the other courtiers.
"Eunuch Yang, why are you doing this!" Wei Guogong's face became a little ugly.
The other party was so disrespectful, which made him feel uncomfortable.
The guarding eunuch Yang Guorui replied with a smile: "Our family is different from yours. Our family has no roots. The Emperor is God to our family. Our family will naturally fulfill the Emperor's will."
Some people in the court had read the blood edict, and some people knew the contents of the blood edict, but more ministers were not clear about the blood edict.
When the young eunuch brought the blood edict over, many ministers gathered in front of the blood edict to take a closer look.
Many people have only heard of the Blood Edict, and for many people this is the first time they have seen such a thing.
Many ministers came together to watch the blood edict.
Some read the content above, and others wanted to use the blood edict to determine whether it was really written by the Supreme Emperor. After all, there was not much in this blood edict that could prove that it was written by the Supreme Emperor.
Some ministers have seen Zhu Youjian's calligraphy and can naturally distinguish it.
Shi Kefa did not go around to watch the blood edict like others. He had already seen the blood edict and was too lazy to pretend like the others.
And his non-commitment naturally made him an outlier in the court.
When Cheng Guogong and others saw that Shi Kefa stopped acting, they became more and more certain that many people in the court knew about the blood edict.
"Okay, let's all go back to our respective positions." Wei Guogong said loudly while looking at the messy court hall.
After hearing this, some officials returned to their previous positions.
At this time, the little eunuch holding the blood edict emerged from the crowd and walked around the hall holding the blood edict.
As the young eunuch came back from the main hall, all the ministers in the court read the contents of the blood edict.
Some ministers even gathered together and whispered about the blood edict.
"Quiet, quiet." Wei Guogong had to shout to stop the noise in the court and maintain order in the court.
As the assistant minister, he shouted several times before the court slowly became quiet.
"I dare to ask Wei Guogong, do you recognize this blood edict of the Supreme Emperor?" Shi Kefa looked directly at Wei Guogong.
Hearing this, Duke Wei frowned and said, "Of course my Duke will recognize the Emperor's will, but whether this blood edict was actually written by the Emperor remains to be verified."
The little tricks in Shi Kefa's words were directly ignored by him.
"As long as the Duke of Wei acknowledges it, then please ask the Duke of Wei to issue the edict!" Shi Kefa said directly, forcing the Duke of Wei to acknowledge the blood edict.
Because in his opinion, this bloody edict was true, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty should act according to the edict.
At this time, Duke Cheng Guo said: "Master Shi, you are a little too hasty. What Duke Wei just said is that you must obey the emperor's will. But if this blood edict is something compiled by others, do we have to admit it?"
"In my opinion, this bloody edict is the handwriting of the Supreme Emperor, and I would like to ask the Duke to submit the edict." Shi Kefa stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"Please also ask the Duke to issue an edict."
Several censors and six ministers stood up.
"You, you are so brave, are you trying to force the palace?" Cheng Guogong stood up from his seat, pointed at Shi Kefa and others and yelled.
Gao Hongtu, who was among the civil servants, suddenly said: "What Duke Cheng Guo said is wrong. They just asked for the imperial edict, and there is nothing wrong with it. Duke Cheng Guo went too far in forcing the imperial concubine on them."
"What? Do you, Mr. Gao, also think that this blood edict was written by the Supreme Emperor?" Cheng Guogong turned his eyes to Gao Hongtu and asked coldly.
Gao Hongtu met Duke Cheng's gaze and said, "The official thinks this blood edict is from the hand of the Supreme Emperor, so the official is willing to obey it."
As he spoke, several more officials stood up and asked several auxiliary ministers to obey the imperial edict.
"You, you!"
Seeing so many ministers standing up in the court made Duke Cheng Guo very angry.
Since he became the auxiliary minister, everyone in the court and middle government have to look at his eyes and act, and he is surrounded by people who flatter him to please him. How could it be like this when so many ministers in the court openly oppose him as the auxiliary minister.
Seeing that the situation in the court was starting to get out of control, Wei Guogong said: "I know that you all want to save the Supreme Emperor from the tiger thieves, but you can't just take out something and say it is the Supreme Emperor's blood edict. You are all Ministers of the DPRK, you should know that this matter is related to the face of the court, and you need to be completely sure. Once it is determined that this blood edict was counterfeited by someone with intentional intentions, everyone including the Duke of the country will become a joke, and Duke Cheng is not... To prevent you from obeying the imperial edict, he just wants to confirm whether the blood imperial edict is true or false before deciding whether to act according to the imperial edict."
