The current cabinet bachelor is only a fifth-grade scholar, equivalent to the emperor's secretary.
They have no power of disposal, only power of suggestion.
Not to mention compared with Jian Yi's Tianguan, even Xu Qin's Shao Zhanshi was much better than them.
The Sanyang auxiliary administration described in historical materials was actually only boasted by later generations after the cabinet became more powerful.
It's actually not that mysterious.
In the Yongle Dynasty, the only deserving political leaders were Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji.
These two men, one in charge of personnel and the other in charge of finance, have survived for twenty years and are definitely the pillars of Zhu Di's staff.
It just so happens that these two political bigwigs are inextricably linked to the Xu Mansion.
For Xu Qin, personal connections are very important.
Xu Qin finally understood why Yao Guangxiao was so sure that he would be Shao Zhan.
He must know the relationship between Jian Yi and the two generations of Dukes of the Xu family.
I'm afraid my aunt Xu Miaoyun also knows this.
If Xu Qin was just an ordinary nobleman, that would be it.
But once it was discovered that he was talented, knowledgeable, and destined to be a vassal king.
As Zhu Di's first assistant, how could Yao Guangxiao be let go?
In addition to his special relationship with Xu Miaoyun, he is recognized by most courtiers and is indispensable now.
Suddenly, Xu Qin felt that his social status seemed to be a little higher again.
"Master Shangshu, it is the duty of a minister to select talents and promote them. If my grandfather and my father can recommend you, it must be because you have the strategy to stabilize the country."
"But I'm still young. Being a fourth-grade young man like this is just trying to push someone to the top."
"This junior is thinking about it. You are in charge of the evaluation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If you find an opportunity, give me a bad review and let me go back."
Xu Qin was half-truth and half-false.
When Jian Yi heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
Others tried every possible means to ask him to give him good reviews, all in order to get promoted as soon as possible.
But if you take the initiative to give a negative review, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it all over the world.
The Wei Guogong Shiwei in front of him is really different.
Could it be that he wanted to come here to find out the truth?
"I said Mr. Xu, the Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace is an important window for the prince to participate in foreign affairs and discuss government affairs. He has access to government affairs, contacts internal and external affairs, and regulates government affairs."
"Although Zhan Shifu doesn't have much power at the moment, and most of the things he can manage are auxiliary, in the future, after the crown prince is reorganized, your status and power will be very different."
Oh shit, it will take twenty-two years until Fatty Zhu succeeds to the throne, and the day lilies will be cold.
How could I do such a meaningless thing?
"You are the Queen's nephew and the Prince's cousin. There is no one more suitable for this position than you."
"It turns out that I am still worried. I am also the Zhan Shifu of the East Palace. It seems inappropriate to do nothing in my position. Now that I have a suitable candidate like you, I can let go."
"You can do it boldly. If you don't understand anything, come to me at any time. There is no need to report it."
Jian Yi didn't look at Xu Qin's face and kept talking to himself.
In fact, he was confessing to Xu Qin that he only had a false name in the East Palace.
"Since Lord Shangshu has said all this, I won't go into details anymore. I'll take a look at it after I've been working for a while."
"now it's right."
Jian Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "What plans do you have for the next focus of Zhan Shifu's work?"
He finally revealed his powers as a Tianguan and provided business guidance and assessment.
Since Yao Guangxiao had already handed over the details, Xu Qin naturally made plans in advance.
He reported to Jian Yi the idea of establishing Tai Xuetang, Daxuetang, Military Hall, etc.
Jian Yi listened carefully and nodded in agreement from time to time.
"Let's do this, Mr. Zhan. This matter involves the expansion of the imperial court. You must have a detailed feasible implementation plan and submit it to the Ministry of Personnel. It will be formally reported to Your Majesty after my review."
"This matter cannot be decided in a few words. It involves a series of matters such as funding, land, administrative personnel scheduling, etc."
Xu Qin nodded in agreement upon hearing this, "Of course, I will start preparations immediately after my official returns, formulate a plan, and then submit it to the Minister."
Jian Yi said: "Okay, that's it."
Xu Qin stood up and said goodbye.
He knew that Jian Yi was usually very busy. If he hadn't been the young master of the Xu family, it would have been difficult for the heavenly official to even meet him.
…
Purple Gold City, inside the Imperial Study Room.
Zheng Hesui, the chief chamberlain, walked into the hall and bowed:
"Your Majesty, that person is here and waiting outside the palace."
Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who had recently ascended the throne, was sitting upright behind the imperial court.
He was holding a ink pen and annotating a memorial.
"Send him in!"
Zhu Di didn't even raise his head until he finished annotating, then he straightened up.
At this time, a man in his mid-thirties came in with his head lowered from the door. He knelt on his knees facing his head, stretched his hands forward, and knelt down:
"We sincerely wish you the Holy Ann!"
"Stand flat and raise your head!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
He stood up and stood in front of the imperial case. His eyes looked straight for just a moment, and then he bowed slightly and lowered his eyebrows.
His name is Hu Hui, a native of Changzhou Prefecture, and a fifth-rank general judge of the Ministry of War.
His other identity is Fusi Qianhu of Jinyiweibei Town.
"Hu Hui, have you explained everything about Ji Gang?" Zhu Di asked.
"Your Majesty, Master Ji has explained the contents clearly, and I will bear them in mind."
"Well, you set off immediately. Remember, you will see people alive and dead, and you will see corpses. You are not allowed to return to Beijing without my order!"
Zhu Di said harshly.
"Wei Chen remembers the sacred command, Wei Chen resigns."
Hu Bi bowed and backed away, then left.
"Your Majesty, is this person reliable?"
Looking at the retreating figure, Yao Guangxiao, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Di raised his head and looked at Yao Guangxiao:
"He was recommended by Ji Gang. It is said that he is cautious and loyal. He serves as a general judge in the Ministry of War. He is a low-profile person. It would be more suitable for him to be my secret envoy to find the 'Immortal Zhang Sanfeng'."
Zhu Di's "immortal Zhang Sanfeng" is an excuse to deceive others.
Yao Guangxiao knew in his heart that it was actually the missing Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen.
After taking the throne, the calm has subsided, and everything has gradually returned to normal.
The overall situation of the country is becoming increasingly stable, and people are beginning to live and work in peace and contentment.
The only thing that makes Zhu Di feel uneasy is Zhu Yunwen, who is on the run and 'faking his own death'.
Zhu Di launched the Jingnan Campaign with the "Qing Jun Side". When he broke through the Purple City, Zhu Yunwen "immolated himself" and died in the fire in the palace.
Therefore, Zhu Di had no choice but to accept the "edict" of Taizu Emperor Gao and ascended the throne after everyone's repeated requests.
It seems that he had no choice but to ascend the throne as Emperor of Ming Dynasty and change his reign name to Yongle.
This is in line with the ancestral common sense of the Ming Dynasty.
If one day Zhu Yunwen, who "died by self-immolation", suddenly appeared in front of the world, wouldn't it be a slap in Zhu Di's face?
The word "usurp the throne" was written unmistakably on Emperor Yongle's forehead, and it would be infamy for thousands of years.
Where is the face of Tianjia?
