Chapter 143 Taking back power and delegating power

The prince Zhu Biao has passed away, which naturally means that the former East Palace team needs to be rebuilt. In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lao Zhu generously selected meritorious and moral mature men and led the East Palace to tutor the prince. Basically, he was the emperor, and the prince shared the same

team.

After so many years, the former East Palace team is now very few, not to mention that now it is necessary to prepare a team for the emperor's grandson.

Lao Zhu and Da Zhu also discussed this matter before, but there was no need to worry too much at that time. But now, it is different. The prince is gone, Lao Zhu is also worried about his age, and many things cannot be delayed.

The East Palace official system was first established in the Yin and Zhou dynasties, and has changed to some extent in the past dynasties. Just like the Ming Dynasty now, there is a large main hall, which stores ancient and modern books, and invites famous scholars from all over the world to teach the prince and the prince. The prince lives behind the Wenhua Hall, and all the Confucian attendants, selected

Read with talented people.

Lao Zhu sat up again and carefully studied the list he had drafted.

In fact, he knew very well that there were specific regulations on the East Palace official system in the past dynasties, but in fact, the setting, staffing, and power were all transferred based on the situation of the prince. If there was no prince, all the subordinate officials would be removed. If the prince fell out of favor, the East Palace officials would be removed.

Officials and subordinates are weakly equipped and are often attacked and excluded, otherwise the reverse is true.

The presence or absence of a prince directly affects the stability of the political situation and people's hearts. The quality of the prince is related to the rise and fall of the dynasty and the continuity of the royal regime. Because the prince is the "root of the world", it naturally means that the cultivation of successors has always been prepared.

He was valued both inside and outside the court.

As for the civil and military officials, the Eastern Palace officials are not of high rank and do not hold real power, but they are distinguished. Moreover, the establishment of the Eastern Palace official system has formed a power system with the prince as the core. These people are also the successors to the throne.

Candidates for future important ministers.

After much deliberation, Lao Zhu still vacillated between Lan Yu and Fu Youde. In fact, Feng Sheng was also qualified. The three founding princes had their own prestige. Furthermore, he had a special relationship with Zhu Xiongying, which naturally meant that

so they can be reused.

This is the so-called Prince's Third Division, the most important of the East Palace team.

Mei Yin, the son-in-law of You Zhanshi, was Lao Zhu's favorite son-in-law. He also knew that Zhanshi was Liu Jie and Li Qi, and was Zhu Xiongying's confidant Ruyu and deputy Zhanshi. Lian Zining had to be removed because he

He is the father of the crown prince's concubine and is not suitable to hold the position of the Eastern Palace.

Workaholic Lao Zhu enters work mode, which is when he forgets to sleep and eat, until Shuangquan reminds him.

After taking a look at Shuangquan, Lao Zhu said with a straight face, "Don't tell your grandson what happened today."

Shuangquan immediately knelt down. As the eunuch sent by the emperor's grandson to His Majesty the Emperor, Shuangquan stood upright and said, "Your Majesty, please spare this slave!"

"Good-for-nothing!" Lao Zhu snorted coldly and said angrily, "If you don't tell me, how will my grandson know?"

Shuangquan knelt down to help Lao Zhu put on his shoes, and then said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness has Wang Cheng'en come to ask questions every day. How dare I conceal it? If I conceal it, Your Highness is wise and powerful, and has a sharp eye, so he will naturally know it."

Lao Zhu snorted coldly and said angrily, "Our Qianqing Palace can't hide anything?! That's ridiculous!"

Shuangquan didn't dare to answer, but he knew that there were no 'secrets' in Qianqing Palace. This was all connived by His Majesty the Emperor. Otherwise, even the former prince and the current grandson would not be able to know about Qianqing Palace, let alone

It was impossible to interfere in the emperor's daily life.

Lao Zhu felt a headache, and thought he would be nagged again after going to court, and the emperor's grandson would definitely stay in Qianqing Palace at night.

Lian Qiongqiong took care of Zhu Xiongying's daily life, and watched Zhu Xiongying put on the python robe, with stars in her eyes.

"We are having a banquet in the harem today. Go and help the concubine." Zhu Xiongying slowly said, "Take a good look and tell me later."

Naturally, Lian Qiongqiong hurriedly agreed. The one she wanted to summon in the harem today was Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yunxi's first wife. While the eldest brother is like a father, it also means that the eldest sister-in-law is a mother. Naturally, Lian Qiongqiong is not qualified to summon her younger sisters-in-law, but She needs to help summon the grandson.

In fact, everyone knows that Zhu Yunxi's official wife is just a formality. Mainly Zhu Yunxi's wife is the focus of everyone's attention. How does the emperor's grandson value his younger brothers and sisters? As Zhu Xiongying's pillow, Lian Qiongqiong naturally It couldn't be clearer.

Thinking of something, Zhu Xiongying said, "Remember to tell the concubine and Luan Jia will pick up the princess."

Zhu Xiongying's little sister is pregnant. Zhu Xi is now far away in Yunnan and has given Zhu Xiongying a niece. Zhu Yue married Feng Cheng and has a baby. Zhu Xiongying is now pregnant.

It doesn't really matter whether it exceeds the limit or not. Because it specifically refers to it, there is no such thing as overstepping the limit.

Wang Chengen followed Zhu Xiongying the moment he walked out of the East Palace and whispered, "Your Highness, Mao Xiang is dead."

Zhu Xiongying nodded and said calmly, "If he dies, he will die. Don't embarrass his heirs. Let him be sent out and rewarded with a hundred households. Let him be placed in Xi'an. There will be no credit but hard work."

Mao Xiang can be regarded as the first commander of Jin Yiwei, and he was also Lao Zhu's best assistant in massacre. But now that the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked. Mao Xiang will not have a good death, or in other words, he will die. It's normal to be unclear.

After all, Jin Yiwei has done a lot of things over the years that have caused a lot of complaints, and Mao Xiang's head was used to quell public anger.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying also understands that Jin Yiwei has illegally humiliated and abused prisoners in recent years. Moreover, in order to seek credit and rewards, Jin Yiwei has made up false accusations, expanded the scope of involvement by any means, and created countless unjust, false and wrong cases. Therefore, at this time, it is also time to investigate Jin Yiwei's rights have been somewhat restricted.

It is necessary for Jinyiwei to exist, it is very necessary, but Jinyiwei cannot be allowed to grow bigger. This is why Zhu Xiongying asked Wang Chengen to start a new team. The famous Dongchang has already taken shape, and the factory guards are the eyes and ears of the emperor.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying appear, the civil and military officials who had already started arranging their shifts immediately became quiet.

In the past, the prince was relatively elegant. Even if some people knew that the prince had a problem in his heart, he was elegant and tolerant in appearance. As for the current grandson, they knew that the grandson was martial in the past, but now they find that the grandson is serious and rules-oriented. Civil and military officials have strict requirements.

After the whip was sounded, Zhu Xiongying led hundreds of civil and military officials into the palace. Naturally, only officials of fourth grade or above were eligible.

After Lao Zhu took his seat, Zhu Xiongying naturally walked out of the class and said, "Bless me."

All the officials bowed immediately, and Lao Zhu waved, "An."

Zhu Xiongying walked up to Danqi naturally and faced the officials, "I have something to report."

This is just a regular court ceremony, so it is simple. If it were a big court ceremony, it would naturally be much more complicated.

Zhu Xiongying still talks less and listens more, but he keeps many things in his heart. Zhu Xiongying also does not make immediate decisions on many things, and innocuous little things don't matter.

If it were a bigger matter or a complicated matter, he would definitely have to return to Qianqing Palace. Even if he knew what he was doing and had made a decision, he would not make it right away. He would still need some time to talk to Xiao Zhu and make Xiao Zhu understand. Some of these principles.

Just after leaving court, Zhu Xiongying heard Wang Chengen's report. Lao Zhu immediately acted like a child who had done something wrong, a little timid and dodges.

Zhu Xiongying is also a little helpless. It cannot be said that Lao Zhu is an old child now. It’s just that now Lao Zhu is almost alone. The person Lao Zhu cares about most now is only Zhu Xiongying, so naturally he cares about some of Zhu Xiongying’s feelings. .

"Grandpa Huang, I will stay at Qianqing Palace tonight." Zhu Xiongying spoke without discussion, "Grandpa Huang is already so old, so he should rest more. Yin'er is still young, and his grandson still hopes that Grandpa Huang will teach Yin in the future. Where is my son?"

"Hey, hey." Lao Zhu nodded repeatedly, and then explained, "We are getting older, so it doesn't matter if we are young."

It really doesn't matter. Just a few days ago, the imperial doctor reported that Princess Ge Li was pregnant. The sixty-five-year-old Zhu Laodang is getting stronger and will give Zhu Xiongying an imperial uncle early next year. His own Zhu Wenyin may be It's really not an exaggeration to compete for candy with his uncle, who is half a year older than him.

Sometimes, Zhu Xiongying really admires Lao Zhu's physical fitness. Lao Zhu's physical fitness is top-notch.

Zhu Xiongying remembered something and said to Lao Zhu, "Mao Xiang is dead."

"Well, you will report tomorrow and we will burn some instruments of torture." Lao Zhu said, knowing what was going on. "The Jin Yiwei have been too arrogant in recent years. We must punish them. Otherwise, our lackeys will bite people indiscriminately." Already."

It is better to let Zhu Xiongying do this good thing, because Jin Yiwei has really made people angry in recent years. Letting Zhu Xiongying come forward at this time naturally means letting all civil and military officials, scholars and gentry express their gratitude to Zhu Xiongying. Even if many people think this is Lao Zhu's opinion, but without the emperor's grandson coming forward, Jin Yiwei would definitely still be arrogant.

It is necessary to give the minions some power and let them bite. However, sometimes it is necessary to tighten the bridle to prevent these lackeys from showing their teeth and claws, and to prevent these lackeys from becoming vicious and attacking their masters.

The Jin Yiwei have become arrogant and domineering enough over the years, and their power is indeed great enough. Now that the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty are relatively stable, the Jin Yiwei needs to be restrained a little, and Lao Zhu and Xiao Zhu need to be cured a little bit. Jin Yiwei is here.

In fact, whether it is Jinyiwei or Dongchang, they can be regarded as the emperor's domestic slaves. Without the Sacred Heart, these people's rights and threats will be much smaller. If these people want to continue to frighten the civil and military officials, they probably have to Been dormant for some time.

"Ying'er, this Jin Yiwei should be restrained, and you should tidy up a little." Lao Zhu said earnestly, and gave Zhu Xiongying advice, "If you use Jin Yiwei well, you will know the world's affairs, and it will be easier to do things in the future. You choose carefully. , choose some reliable people.”

As a prince and a courtier, there must be some differences between Lao Zhu's imperial guards and Zhu Xiongying's imperial guards.

In the past, Zhu Xiongying had a third member of the Jinyiwei team like Song Zhong, but the Jinyiwei team was still Lao Zhu and Da Zhu. But now, it is necessary to start anew and create a Jinyiwei system that belongs to Xiao Zhu!
