Yao Guangxiao smiled and said:
"The prince is kind and kind. In the eyes of civil servants and scholars all over the world, he is a monarch who can be relied on."
"At the same time, through interactions with civil servants and scholars all over the world, the prince accumulated popularity and connections, and established trust and prestige for him to rule the court in the future."
Having said this, it is thorough enough and there is no need to dwell on it.
Big Fat Zhu is so lucky.
With such a good teacher helping him secretly, why worry about not being able to inherit the great unification in the future?
"Master, I would like to ask, has the candidate for Zhan Shifu of East Palace been confirmed? Who is it?"
This is also a stark question.
According to workplace practice, Xu Qin must of course ask who his immediate boss is and whether he can work with him?
I didn't expect that a young man could be so adept at the rules of officialdom.
Yao Guangxiao was surprised and only said that Xu Qin knew it through his ears and eyes.
He smiled broadly and said in a deep voice:
"Zhan Shifu of East Palace Zhanshi is concurrently in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, Shangshu Jianyi."
Oh my God!
What a configuration it is for the Heavenly Official to concurrently serve as Zhan Shi.
The Minister of Personnel is the head of the six major departments of the imperial court and is commonly known as the Heavenly Official.
Jian Yi can be counted as a veteran of the three dynasties. During the Hongwu period, he was the right minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and during the Jianwen period, he was the left minister of the Ministry of official affairs.
Now Emperor Yongle directly promoted him to the title of Lord Shangshu, a second-rank official, but he only had the title of subordinate first-rank official.
The first person among the six ministers to have this honor.
The ancestor of Jian Yi was Uncle Jian during the reign of Duke Xiao of Qin. He was a famous strategist and statesman during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He was a member of a distinguished family that has been passed down for more than a thousand years.
Yao Guangxiao's intention in making this arrangement was obvious. In fact, Xu Qin was in charge of the Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace.
Jian Yi was just in name, and he might take some time to ask questions at the beginning. Later, his official affairs would be enough for him to worry about.
In the early years of Yongle, from the imperial court to the county government, the greatest shortage was qualified officials.
The extent of the shortage is frightening to say the least, with 70% of positions vacant.
Zhu Di conquered the world, and officials at all levels were either implicated and executed, or they abandoned their offices and ran away.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is enough for Jian Yi to be so busy that he falls down from exhaustion.
When the new dynasty was first established, the entire empire's official structure from central to local levels, as well as the selection, assessment, appointment and dismissal of officials, needed to be reorganized.
How could Jian Yi still have the energy to take care of the East Palace?
Letting him concurrently serve as the Zhanshi of Zhanshifu in the East Palace is a way to deceive others.
Mainly because of Xu Qin's age, qualifications and experience, he is not qualified to hold a full-time position.
"Can you appease the scholars all over the world by letting the juniors be the younger ones?"
"Why do I think this is unreliable? What if I'm disliked by these aloof scholars?"
Xu Qin asked Yao Guangxiao.
The demon monk was stunned and couldn't help but ask again:
"Why would Mr. Xu think so?"
"The younger generation is young and has low qualifications, but these intellectuals are most particular about seniority, background, teachers, knowledge, etc."
Xu Qin compared the current situation with the reality of future generations, and it was pretty much the same.
However, the new word "intellectual" he blurted out really made Yao Guangxiao stunned.
The demon monk still doesn't understand the exact meaning of the words "intellectuals, based on seniority".
You can guess with his bare head that he refers to the virtue and corruption of scholars.
He thought for a moment and then said:
"It is true that scholars are pedantic, ranked based on their seniority, who they studied under, etc., but this is easy to handle. You just declare to the outside world that you have studied under Jian Yi. This name is loud enough."
"When it comes to reputation, you are the eldest grandson of the founding father of the country, King Xu Da of Zhongshan. You come from a distinguished family. You are well-read in scriptures and knowledgeable."
"In addition, you are already sharp-tongued and quick-thinking. After a period of practice, you will gradually gain everyone's trust. Why are you worried that you can't do it?"
Seeing that Xu Qin was still confused, he continued:
"Young people are naturally determined to achieve something. Even if they are not able to do it at first, as long as they are willing to think carefully and work hard, it will not take long before they become familiar with it."
"For example, your majesty, when Yan was just a vassal, he was ignorant, but after a few years, he also understood how to be a vassal king."
"Twenty-five years after Hongwu arrived, the Ming army in Peiping went out to the fortress several times to fight, and His Majesty personally led the troops."
"Mr. Xu, you should believe in your own talents and knowledge. It is natural that you are a young master of Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace."
"Based on the inference that I gave you a few days ago, sooner or later you will become a famous minister, a general and a prime minister, and you will be famous in history."
Facing the world-famous demon monk, Xu Qin was really moved by such encouragement.
Suddenly, he couldn't help laughing and jokingly said:
"Master, this is how you encouraged His Majesty to rebel back then!"
Yao Guangxiao's face darkened suddenly when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice:
"Don't talk nonsense. His Majesty was framed by traitors back then, and he had no choice but to raise troops to fight against the enemy."
"What you just said was done in front of me. If it reaches His Majesty, be careful of the wrath and thunder!"
Xu Qin was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue and quickly cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you, Master, for your mercy and letting me go... It's just that I really lack confidence in this matter."
"Well, I would like to ask the master a few questions. If you can answer my questions, I will immediately agree to take up the post, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation! What do you think?"
This guy didn't appreciate giving him an official job, so he started bargaining.
Beautiful you.
Yao Guangxiao frowned slightly, but helplessly shouted:
"You're such a difficult kid, that's all! Just ask, I'll help you figure it out."
He thought about it and compromised.
Just because Xu Qin is also a strange person, he also doesn't play according to common sense.
Xu Qin was delighted when he heard this. This was considered a successful blackmail.
"I would like to ask Master, as a minister, there are many people in history who have assisted the lord to achieve great achievements. They have existed in all dynasties."
"Those who can assist the feudal king with the body of a monk, strategize, and successfully raise armies, the master should be the first person in ancient and modern times."
"Since ancient times, there have been capable ministers. Who dares to compete with you?"
After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said:
"Mr. Xu's words are wrong. If we want to talk about peerless achievements, Jiang Ziya who was in the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years, Zhang Liang who was in the Western Han Dynasty for 400 years, and Zhuge Kongming in the Eastern Han Dynasty are all a hundred times better than Lao Na."
This time it was Xu Qin's turn to be speechless.
Unexpectedly, Yao Guangxiao turned out to be a top Versailles player.
Xu Qin took a deep breath and prepared to get to the bottom of it.
Many historians in later generations dreamed of investigating this famous demon monk.
What is his inner world?
Why did a monk who was more than seventy years old help a feudal king to rebel despite not being a relative?
Now that I have this golden opportunity, of course I can't let go of the opportunity to explore.
After passing this village, this shop really disappeared.
After Xu Qin calmed down, he spoke:
"I dare to ask Master, after you, as a monk, assist the Lord to dominate the world, what are your personal plans next?"
