Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 833 Four Auxiliary Ministers

The imperial edict, also known as the imperial edict, can be said to be the most important document in the imperial court. After this document is read, it will be sealed and placed in the Tianlu Pavilion in the palace for preservation. There are no special circumstances. It will never be taken out.

  The imperial edicts of successive dynasties are all sealed in the Tianlu Pavilion.

   Therefore, all Li Xin could see was the transcript that was transcribed.

   Even if it is a transcript, not everyone is qualified to transcribe it. Only ministers who are qualified to see the will are qualified to transcribe it.

  Li Xin had no expression on his face, and after taking the document, he slowly unfolded it.

  The format of the imperial edict is generally the same. The beginning is nothing more than "I am humble in morality, and I am fortunate to inherit the great power."

   The most crucial part is the last part.

  According to the rules of the Great Jin Dynasty, the new monarch should be in charge of the government at the age of sixteen, but under the age of sixteen, he should set up assistant ministers and temporarily take charge of political affairs.

   Li Xin glanced at the previous content, and quickly saw the most crucial part.

   "Ji Yan, the eldest son of the emperor, has profound virtue, and bows deeply to me, and he is the emperor..."

   "However, the prince was young and could not rule the court, so he chose four ministers to help the emperor and make a living of the people."

   Seeing this, Lord Jing'an's eyes changed slightly.

The position of the assistant minister represents the authority of Tianda. The crown prince is thirteen years old this year, and he will be fourteen in ten days. That is to say, the assistant minister can control the court for at least two years. During the year, as long as the four auxiliary ministers agree, they can act on behalf of the king!

  If Li Xin can get this position, then in the next two years, no matter what he wants to do, there will be nothing to stop him.

   Legally, it takes advantage.

   He looked down.

   "Ren Shangshu's left servant shoots Shen Kuan, and the middle book makes Gongyang Shu..."

   "Jilin, the left governor of the Grand Governor's House, and the four censors, who are strict guards, serve as assistant ministers to the new king, and four Wanger, who can assist the court and help the world..."

   Next, is a gorgeous and uncommon parallel essay.

   Honestly, seeing that these four people did not have himself in their names, Li Xin was inevitably a little disappointed, but he was not surprised.

If there was no matter in the southwest before and the emperor died, he, Li Xin, should be able to get the position of an assistant minister. However, there were conflicts before, and the southwest had become a threat to the imperial court. Naturally, it was impossible for the emperor to pretend the imperial power to Li Xin. After all, this is no different from throwing a sharp knife and a thief.

   And these four ministers are still very meaningful.

Of course, Shen Kuan, the left minister, need not say more. Now he is in charge of the Shangshutai, and most of the government affairs of the court must pass through his hands. In any case, the position of this auxiliary minister cannot bypass him. Chengde Dynasty worshipped the prime minister, and gave him one of the four auxiliary ministers, and there was no problem.

The other two are even simpler. The position of the left governor of the Grand Governor's Mansion has always been reserved for the Ji family. The former Zuo Governor Ji Ping, because of his old age, could not continue to control the Grand Governor's Mansion. Therefore, the new Zuo Governor of the Grand Governor's Mansion, just It fell on the head of the Duke of Wei, Ji Lin.

The different surnamed princes of Da Jin are only the Ye family of the Chen Guogong mansion, but the princes with the surname Ji are not that rare. After all, there are kings like King Zhao and King Qi. Only people can fall into the kingdom.

   And another imperial censor, Yan Shouzhuo, was also a former official of the Chengde Dynasty.

He used to be the Dali Temple Minister of Dali Temple, and he was one of the nine chief ministers of the imperial court. At first everyone thought that his official games would stop at the position of Dali Temple Minister, but over the years, Emperor Taikang transferred him to the Censor. Taiwan, all the way to let him achieve the position of supervising the censor.

   There are four auxiliary ministers, two from Shangshutai are in charge of government affairs, one from Censor Terrace is in charge of supervising officials, and the Grand Governor's Office, which is in charge of dispatching troops, is naturally in charge of the military. In this way, a near-perfect balance of power is completed.

  This edict left by Emperor Taikang must have been carefully considered for a long, long time.

  Thinking of this, Li Xin continued to look down.

   After a long parallel essay, a line of words appeared in Li Xin's eyes.

   "In the southwest of the country, there are rebels and rebels of the Southern Army that have not been cleared. In the northern Xinjiang, there are also remnants of remnants of Zhou who have not been pacified. I have worked hard for ten years, but I have not succeeded..."

   "There are hidden dangers in the north and south, and it is very easy to start wars again."

   "If there is a war, the General of the Left Camp of the Forbidden Army, the Prince Taibao Li Xin, the General of the Right Camp of the Forbidden Army, and Hou Jingde, Hou of Zhongyong, can participate in military affairs..."

   Seeing this, Li Xin sighed deeply.

   The entire posthumous edict is hundreds of words, and this is the only sentence that mentions him.

The so-called military knowledge means that once the imperial court fights with other forces, he is not only a general leading troops, but can enter the Shangshutai and discuss with these auxiliary ministers, Zaifu, whether to fight or not to fight, How to fight.

   And he can only "inform", that is to say, he can only discuss with these people, and cannot make decisions directly.

   Normally, he doesn't even have the power to "know".

   Even so, the emperor still worried about Li Xin, and wrote Hou Jingde in the imperial edict.

In fact, Hou Jingde should not have appeared in this edict. The person arranged by the emperor was actually General Pei Jin, but Pei Jin annoyed the emperor because of his defeat in the southwestern expedition, and lost his job in the forbidden army, so the name fell to Hou Jingde. on the head.

   He was "added" by force.

   Seeing this, Li Xin closed the document and handed it back to Shen Kuan.

   "Congratulations to Prime Minister Shen for being awarded the position of Assistant Minister."

Shen Kuan shook his head silently and sighed: "Li Houye has smashed the old man, where did the congratulations come from? Emperor Daxing was in his prime, and suddenly he went like this. On the head of Shangshutai, the old man was originally a mediocre person, and he was lucky enough to enter the Shangshutai, and I don’t know if he can last for two years and hand over the country to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

  The current Crown Prince has not yet officially ascended the throne, so he is still the Crown Prince. After three days, he will be the emperor of the eight classics.

   Li Xin looked back at the prince, and lowered his head slightly: "In this way, I won't disturb Shen Xiang's busy work. If Shen Xiang needs to be busy in the Jing'an Hou residence, you can come to the Hou residence to find me."

   Shen Kuan cupped his hands and said, "Master Li Hou is polite, I must trouble Master Li Hou if something happens."

   After saying goodbye to him, Li Xin turned around and looked around. Finally, he saw Xiao Zheng's shadow. He walked to Xiao Zheng's side and asked in a deep voice, "Eunuch Xiao, can you see where the eldest princess is?"

Xiao Zheng has not slept for several days, he is busy at the moment, after hearing Li Xin's words, he stopped his errand, and quickly turned around and bowed to Li Xin: "Hui Hou, Your Highness She was still in the Weiyang Palace in the morning, and now she should accompany the Empress Dowager to the Kunde Palace to rest."

  Li Xin nodded slowly.

   "Then Eunuch Xiao, you are busy, I'm going to find the eldest princess."

   "Your Majesty is polite."

   To go to Kunde Palace, you need to leave Weiyang Palace. Li Xin walked through the crowd with his hands behind his back and walked towards the door of Weiyang Palace.

   At this time, several officials of the Ministry of Rites were discussing the posthumous title of the emperor.

   When Li Xin passed by them, he heard the posthumous name, so he deliberately slowed down.

   After listening for a while, he vaguely heard the word "Jing".

  The Marquis of Jing An sighed, left Weiyang Palace with his hands behind his back, and walked towards Kunde Palace.
