No one knew that the eunuch's message actually saved Huo Tao's life.
Huo Tao, who may have problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease, was on the verge of sudden death just now after being violently sprayed by Qin Dewei.
But the eunuch interrupted Qin Dewei by passing the order, which also allowed Huo Tao to slow down. Then he heard the eunuch add another sentence: "Summon Qin Dewei to the palace as well!"
After receiving the order, everyone glanced at Qin Dewei in unison.
The six ministers and the censors are collectively called the Qiqing, who are the core ministers. However, in addition to the Qiqing, one more Qin Dewei was summoned.
Therefore, it is self-evident that the emperor must have seen Qin Dewei's memorial immediately.
Otherwise, no one would think of anything else happening.
Moreover, only the most important ministers, such as the ministers of foreign dynasties and the imperial censor, were summoned, indicating that this was not the kind of brainstorming discussion, but that decisions were really being made.
Today's court meeting in the Eastern Dynasty was interrupted. Six ministers, Zuodu Yushi and one Qin Dewei walked out of the Eastern Dynasty together and entered the palace through the Meridian Gate...
It is also a bit of a coincidence that Emperor Jiajing has been ignoring government affairs for two months and only went to the Wenhua Hall to read the memorial today.
Qin Dewei asked Shangshu to establish the East Palace. The matter was so involved that the cabinet did not dare to draft an edict, so it was sent directly to Emperor Jiajing as soon as possible.
Then Emperor Jiajing issued an edict and summoned key ministers such as cabinet academicians, ministers of foreign dynasties, and censors of the capital to decide on matters in the East Palace.
After the core group of ten and Qin Dewei went to the palace, Emperor Jiajing asked the eunuch to read out Qin Dewei's memorial to the East Palace.
In fact, there is no debate about this matter. The emperor had this intention, and all the ministers welcomed it. It was natural to establish a prince without any obstacles.
And there is no controversy about the selection. Among the existing princes, there is no legitimate son of the queen, the oldest second prince, Zhu Zaihe.
Therefore, there is no doubt that the candidate for the crown prince is Zhu Zaihe, the second son of the emperor who is less than three years old. From then on, the Ming Dynasty had a crown prince.
Now that the Prince of the East Palace has been established, the next thing to do is to appoint the subordinate officials of the East Palace. For the ministers, this is the biggest thing!
Whoever can be an official of the East Palace will be a minister of the Dragon in the future, which is not comparable to ordinary official positions. If you are lucky, you may even be able to get the status of an imperial master!
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the subordinate officials of the East Palace would break their heads to grab it.
In particular, the life spans of successive generations of emperors in the Ming Dynasty were not very long, basically fluctuating between thirty and forty years old.
Someone secretly calculated on the spot that Emperor Jiajing was now in his thirties, so the big bosses were gearing up and actively preparing to share the pork.
The official office of the East Palace is Zhan Shifu, but originally the officials of Zhan Shifu had arbitrary titles, and they did not consider the issue of tutoring the prince.
And now that the crown prince has been established, Zhan Shifu is now the real official of the East Palace. Of course, it cannot be the same as before.
The original personnel are definitely no longer suitable, so a major reshuffle is inevitable.
It can even be said that it was not just a reshuffle of Zhan Shifu, but a reshuffle of the entire Ci officials.
Because according to the regulations of Emperor Taizu Gao, the official office of the East Palace must be staffed by courtiers, and they must share a team of people to avoid suspicion between father and son.
Therefore, now the officials of Zhan Shifu are all Hanlin officials concurrently. If Zhan Shifu undergoes a major reshuffle, Hanlin officials will definitely be involved.
Thinking of this, some people looked at Academician Qin a little strangely.
Young people are a bit ruthless. Could it be that in order to feel comfortable and get promoted, you actually let the entire Ci Lin be reshuffled?
Zhan Shi Zhang Bi, the third-rank official of the Zhan Shi Mansion, became the first person to change in the big reshuffle and was directly renamed the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
As for the candidates for the new Zhan Shi, the cabinet proposed several candidates, but Emperor Jiajing was not satisfied with them.
Finally, Emperor Jiajing put forward the conditions directly: "The official office of the East Palace must be someone who is loyal, knowledgeable, and famous."
After everyone tastes it, they will find something interesting to say.
The emperor's main goal is to find people with loyal and upright temperaments and good reputations to form a golden lineup to serve as a team to tutor the prince.
Qin Dewei, who was standing at the very edge, was unable to complain. Your Majesty, don't you have any idea?
You have been tossing the rites for more than ten years, suppressing the opposition batch after batch, and those who are particularly loyal have been eliminated long ago!
I can only say that I have pity for the hearts of parents in the world. No matter what virtue a father has, he still hopes that his son will follow the right path and that his son will be surrounded by decent people.
Moreover, Emperor Jiajing at this time had not become neurotic and was still a normal father.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was Emperor Jiajing's imperial intention, because the more loyal and upright the officials in the East Palace were, the safer the prince would be.
Later, the first assistant Xia Yan proposed another candidate, Lu Shen.
This man was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongzhi, the master of Lujiazui in Shanghai County, and an important Hanlin lecturer in the early years of the Jiajing Dynasty.
More than ten years ago, Lu Shen offended Gui E, who was in power, and was expelled due to lecture issues. It was not until recent years that he returned to the court and served as Taichang Qing.
Of course, the most important thing is that this person is the examiner who admitted Xia Yan and is Xia Yan's teacher.
Emperor Jiajing agreed to this candidate after considering it, and issued an edict to appoint Lu Shen as Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shifu.
Below Zhan Shi is Zhan Shi, the fourth-grade young master. Thinking of the special grade of "positive fourth-grade", everyone glanced at Qin Dewei in unison.
In the final analysis, the big news today was caused by Qin Dewei's dissatisfaction with the fake fourth grade.
But the big guys suddenly felt a little strange. Qin Dewei, who went to the temple with them, didn't say a word and was so well-behaved?
Regarding the candidate for Shao Zhan, Emperor Jiajing finally personally selected Cui Xian, a very famous scholar.
This person was dismissed from office for offending the emperor during the Great Ceremony. He is definitely loyal and upright, and his academic level is also high.
Can the ministers really believe that Emperor Jiajing, who always disliked ministers pretending to be loyal and upright, actually wanted to create a situation of "gentlemen coming in" in the East Palace?
Yaoshou is here and the sun is rising in the west. Should we sneak Yang Shenti out again to test the emperor?
The monarch and his ministers continued their discussion. There were official offices in the Zhanshi Mansion, including the left and right Chunfang and the Economic and Technological Bureau, collectively called the Fang Bureau.
Fangju and Hanlin Academy are collectively known as "Hanyuan Fangju", which can almost be used as a synonym for Ci Chen.
Among them, the left and right Chunfang officials are the most important. They are the official offices of the fifth rank, with official positions such as Shuzi, Yude, Zhongyun, and Praise for Goodness.
For example, Qin Dewei's right concubine, whose full name is actually the right concubine of Youchunfang in Zhan Shifu, is the highest-ranking official in Chunfang.
Originally, in the early Ming Dynasty, Chunfang also had the official position of Chunfang University Scholar, who served as the chief officer of Chunfang.
However, it was later abandoned because it was too easy for the official name to be confused with the cabinet academicians, which could lead to misunderstandings.
All in all, when monarchs and ministers now discuss the left and right Chunfang officials, they can only start from the left and right concubines.
So for who knows how many times, all the big shots happened to look at Qin Dewei, the right concubine of Youchunfang.
Qin Dewei, why have you been silent? Now that it has touched you, are you still going to remain silent?
