Chapter 202 Fatherhood and Secret Edict

Many times when people watch TV series, the emperor writes the imperial edict, and then the jade seal is sealed, and it’s done.

In fact, this is completely deceptive.

The process of writing an imperial edict is that everyone in the Zhongshushe of the Zhongshu Province should each write an imperial edict on a certain matter, and then send it to their leader Zhongshu Ling.

Zhongshu Ling selected one of them that he thought was the best, and then modified it to form a true imperial edict.

It was sent to the emperor for a seal, then to the Menxia Province for review and sealing, and finally to the Shangshu Province for execution.

Anyone who has not gone through these steps will be regarded as a false edict and will be scolded.

Tang Zhongzong once wanted to appoint a close relative, but he was afraid that the prime ministers would not agree and would not be able to pass the two tests of Zhongshu's family, so he also began to bypass Zhongshu's family and issue "fake edicts".

When sealing the edict, the method of sealing it diagonally was used, which suggested that the Minister of Finance should be accommodating when executing it, but the result was later known to others.

Those cronies who were secretly sealed by Zhongzong were called "Xianfengguan", but they were looked down upon.

Therefore, if Li Shimin wanted to issue an edict, he had to call Fang Xuanling, Zhongshu's order, to discuss it first.

Of course, the two of them wore a pair of pants. Basically, whatever Li Shimin wanted to do, Fang Xuanling didn't have much objection, so she just did it for him.

After a while, Fang Xuanling came.

After seeing the gift, Li Shimin asked him to sit aside and said, "Xuanling, you must have guessed that there are others behind the things sent by Dengzhou, right?"

There is nothing to hide. In fact, most of Li Shimin's closest confidants can guess it.

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "I guess it was the kid your Majesty sent to Kuoding County who did it, right?"

Fang Xuanling is from Linyi, Qizhou, not far from Dengzhou.

The Fang family will naturally send some nearby information to Chang'an. He knows a lot about the situation in Dengzhou.

Although Chunyu couldn't keep it under control, these things all sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain after Yan Kai left for Kuoding County.

You can get a rough idea just by thinking about it.

"Yes, it's him, but I'm a little bit confused about his reward."

"What's so difficult about this?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"First of all, this kid doesn't want to be exposed; secondly, I also want to hide him for another two years. But if I don't reward him, it's just following his wishes..."

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling understood that His Majesty already had an idea.

So he raised his hands and said, "How do you want to reward him, Your Majesty?"

"Haha, the news I got about this guy, among other things, is really good for the family. So this time I don't reward him, I reward his family!"

The rewards given by ancient emperors were nothing more than a way to win over officials.

Therefore, Li Shimin felt that it didn't matter who he rewarded, what was important was that he could win over the talents.

The imperial edict system began in the Tang Dynasty. For meritorious officials, their mothers or wives were given imperial edicts or edicts.

"Reward his family?" Fang Xuanling was a little puzzled: "I heard that he is not married yet. Does your Majesty plan to make his mother a royal wife?"

"Mrs. Chi Ming should be gentle. I plan to make his father a county boy."

To be honest, Yan Kai's abilities are not just for the county boy, but also for the county uncle.

"This...if there is no reason..."

"Why not? Although Chun Yunan donated so many crops, he is not a farmer, so he can still go to the fields to grow food by himself? The one who discovered these crops must be the farmers in the fields!"

"Na Yan Kai's father has been farming for generations..."

At this point, Fang Xuanling understood that His Majesty was planning to kill two birds with one stone.

Yan Kai may not care about the reward, but what about his father?

Being knighted was a major event to honor the ancestors. If his father cared, could he still accept it?

What's more important is that His Majesty also wants to use this matter to tell the world that as long as he has contributed to the Tang Dynasty, ordinary farmers will also have the opportunity to be crowned!

This is to show the world an attitude of appointing talents in an eclectic way.

At the same time, it is also a breakthrough and test of the monopoly of talents by established aristocratic families.

After understanding Li Shimin's intention, Fang Xuanling went down to draft the edict, and then completed a set of procedures quickly.

He sent someone to Kuoding County with an imperial edict and a secret edict.

Kuoding County is also planning to hold happy events these days.

The wedding date of Luodian Zhou and Miss Chen has finally been set.

Speaking of Kuoding County, it has been a long time since we held a happy event like this.

The population was originally small, and even the poor rats were reluctant to come.

No one nearby is willing to marry a girl to Kuoding County.

This long-lost happy event is still happening with Miss Chen, the most popular teacher in Kuoding County.

In addition, there is another bumper harvest in Kuoding County.

Under such circumstances, it is natural to do something grand and special.

Not only did Yan Kai make the new house beautiful, he also sent people to Dengzhou to purchase a lot of ingredients.

With this marriage between the two of them, everyone can have a dinner together.

Li Dazui and others also felt that their abilities had finally been put to use, and they started to work around.

Yan Kai even broadcast the entire event live, introducing the wedding customs and culture of the Tang Dynasty to everyone.

"Wow, this wedding dress is worn by common people, but it's so beautiful!"

"The wedding dress of the Tang Dynasty woman is green! On the contrary, the man wears red."

"Isn't that where the word Guys and Dolls comes from? Can the host's wedding dress be hung with a little yellow car? I really want it!"

"This was made by the palace embroiderers and weavers. Of course it is beautiful."

"This time, almost all the people in Kuoding County say they want to be the bride's family. I think our anchor will have a hard time being the groom!"

"Anchor, you can't copy those makeup-inducing poems or anything like that!"

Naturally, Yan Kai was also chatting and laughing with everyone in the live broadcast room.

At this time, Chun Yunan led a group of people playing gongs and drums into Kuoding County.

Yan Kai hurriedly greeted him, but felt a little strange in his heart.

This was just a common people's wedding. How could Chunyu Nangui, the governor of Dengzhou, come to the house with such fanfare?

When Chun Yunan came and took a look, he was startled for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that my brother's Kuoding County is holding a happy event today!"

Yan Kai nodded and asked why Chunyu Nan was here.

Chun Yunan smiled and said, "I'm here today to make my brother happy."

Yan Kai was curious and was about to ask a question when Chun Yunan shouted loudly: "Yan Qiumo accepts the order."

The onlookers asked curiously who was Yan Qiumo, and unexpectedly the governor came to ask him to accept the order.

Only the Yan family looked at Yan Laoer.

It is said that Yan Kai's grandma gave birth to his father in the autumn, and she happened to be grinding.

So I ended up with this name.

It's just that everyone usually calls him Yan Laoer, or respectfully addresses him as Brother Yan or Uncle Yan, but not many people know his real name.

Yan Laoer walked forward blankly and asked in disbelief: "For me?"

While Yan Laoer was being conferred, Huang Rong pulled Yan Kai aside and said, "His Majesty has given you a secret decree."
