Chapter 1473 Relocation Plan
The Prince's Grand Tutor, first rank.
In fact, whether it is the official of the Three Masters of the Eastern Palace, or the Taibao that Shen Yi is currently holding, they were generally promoted in the past. For example, after entering the Secretariat and becoming a prime minister, they might be given a title such as Taibao of the Crown Prince or Taifu of the Crown Prince.
Normally speaking, this kind of title would only be awarded posthumously after the death of an important official.
But Shen Yi is not a normal person.
He reached the pinnacle of being a minister too early, so he was named Taibao ten years ago, and a few years ago he was even named Grand Secretary of Zhongji Palace.
He has enjoyed all the honors of a civil servant.
If he were to be given the title of Pillar of the State, then all the honors of civil and military affairs would be monopolized by Master Shen.
However, for the current First-Rank Taibao Shen, the first-rank Taizi Tutor can only be a part-time job. It is of no help to him, let alone any improvement.
But as His Majesty the Emperor said.
He wanted to train Li Jian and send Li Jian out to do things. Now the Crown Prince in the East Palace must be feeling a little uncomfortable. If he wanted to make him feel more at ease, or more contented, he had to give him some benefits.
In other words, Shen Yi's appointment as the Third Master of the Eastern Palace is actually beneficial to the Crown Prince.
However... with this title, it means that after the new monarch ascends the throne, no matter who the new monarch is, Lord Shen Yi will be promoted directly from Grand Guardian to Grand Preceptor, becoming the best of the three preceptors!
Shen Yi was silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is putting all the contradictions on me."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said, "While I am still alive, no matter what position Shen Qing is given, he will not bear any pressure. One day, a hundred years after I die, these contradictions Shen Qing mentioned will truly fall on Shen Qing's shoulders."
At this point, Emperor Hongde's voice also softened. He sighed silently: "Now, only you, Shen Qing, can bear it."
He looked at Shen Yi.
"Even if Yang Jingzong from thirty years ago were to be reborn, he would not be able to shoulder the burden that Shen Qing has now."
Yang Jingzong was once Emperor Hongde's nightmare.
In other words, he was the biggest enemy that Emperor Hong De and Shen Yi faced together when they were young.
Now, thirty years have passed, and looking back, the enemies they faced together back then have become...
That's all.
Mr. Shen looked up at the emperor.
Until now, in just one or two years, His Majesty the Emperor seems to have more white hair. It was only vaguely visible before, but now it is much more obvious.
The exhaustion on the emperor's face could no longer be concealed.
Mr. Shen wanted to persuade the emperor to rest more, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.
When Emperor Hongde was young, his will might not be particularly firm, and Shen Yi could have persuaded him at that time. But now, as an emperor who has reigned for thirty years and is the great emperor who rules the world, no one can persuade him to change his mind once he has made up his mind.
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
Shen Yi bowed slightly and said, "I will stand by your Majesty's side and do what your Majesty wants. No one in this court can overthrow the world."
"No one can go against your majesty's will."
Emperor Hongde nodded and smiled: "After this matter is settled, the only thing left in the court is the crown prince's affairs."
"And the hidden danger outside is the Tatars."
His Majesty the Emperor said solemnly: "Mr. Shen, the court is now fully supporting Xue Wei of Datong. In the future, Mr. Shen must also fully support Xue Wei and try to suppress the Tatars. I have seen clearly in the past few years that the biggest enemy of our Dachen in the future will not be Zhuli Zhenren who is lingering outside the Great Wall, but these Tatars."
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
Master Shen bowed his head slightly and said, "I can't guarantee anything else, but as long as I am alive, the Tatars will never be able to make any waves."
"As for the future..."
Master Shen said softly: "We can only look after the children."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled gently.
"Then for the sake of the court, Shen Qing must live a long life."
Mr. Shen smiled silently and did not respond.
His Majesty the Emperor stood up and stretched himself.
"Let's stop here today. Shen Qing, go back and have a good rest for a few days. I will summon you to the palace in a few days, and we will carefully select officials above the third rank."
Shen Yi thought about it, nodded first, and then said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Yuanlang..."
"I know."
The emperor exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "Using him is also a helpless move, it's just a temporary transition. I just hope..."
The emperor said slowly: "I just hope that among the northerners, a few capable people can emerge as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Shen Yi felt slightly relieved.
It’s not that he personally has any prejudice against Zhou Yuanlang. Even if Zhou Yuanlang becomes prime minister, it is unlikely that he will threaten his position.
But Zhou Yuanlang is extremely good at speculation. He is not only smart but also cruel.
This kind of person is not suitable to be at the center.
Because of one carelessness, the emperor could not control him.
But if it is used as a transition.
It's a good candidate.
After all, the current Da Chen is no longer the original small southern court. Ten years ago, Da Chen unified the world by force, but if it wants to unify the world in politics, culture and other aspects, it will still require a long period of adjustment.
Northerners must have their own place, otherwise the court will still be unstable.
………………
For a period of time afterwards, Shen Yi often went to the palace to help the emperor select officials above the third rank.
There are not many officials in this group, but if local officials are included, the number is not small.
The screening criteria, in addition to the severity of their crimes, also include age, place of origin, background and more importantly, personal ability.
After nearly a month, the king and his ministers finally finished the task.
In the Ganlu Palace, His Majesty the Emperor rubbed his brows, handed a dozen envelopes in his hand to Shen Yi, and asked: "Are these people to be retained?"
Shen Yi nodded and said, "These are all Jinshi from the Hongde Dynasty. They are relatively young and have good abilities. Your Majesty, please summon them to the palace and teach them in person. They will definitely be grateful to Your Majesty and will not dare to be insincere in their duties."
The Emperor selected two people after careful consideration and said, "Send these two people to the local areas and train them for a few years to see their results."
"Others, just follow Shen Qing's idea."
At this point, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the documents sent by the three judicial officials, narrowed his eyes, and chuckled softly, "In a few days, I will summon them to the palace and show them these documents first. When they are scared to death, I will burn these documents in front of them."
"They should just be honest."
Mr. Shen smiled and said, "It has to be burned, but Your Majesty should make a copy and keep it in the palace as a handle against these people."
The emperor stroked his chin and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Why not leave a copy with Shen Qing?"
Shen Yi quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty, how can such a handle on an important official be left in the hands of a minister?"
The emperor thought for a while, then shook his head: "I am afraid that the successor will not take it seriously. I will keep a copy of these documents in the inner guards. I won't keep a copy with Shen Qing, but Shen Qing must remember their names."
Mr. Shen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am a Jinshi after all, and I can still remember more than a dozen names."
The emperor picked up the brush, took the white paper beside him, wrote a new name on the paper, and said, "Let the three judicial officials investigate this person as well."
Shen Yi took a look and frowned slightly: "The old minister of the Ministry of Rites..."
"Ah."
The emperor yawned and said, "This old guy has received a lot of money over the years. He is not young anymore, but he still occupies his position. We should use some evidence against him and make him retire and return home."
At this point, the emperor smiled and said, "Make room for your brother."
Shen Yi was silent for a long time before he stood up and lowered his head.
"I am speaking for my brother."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
