Chapter 291 Zhu Gaojie: If you can think like this, you are very enlightened
In terms of rank, Master Zuo Chunfang is not a high-ranking official in Beijing, where there are so many high-ranking officials. However, in the officialdom, calculation cannot be based solely on rank, but on the amount of power. A fifteen-year-old
A 6-year-old student member was promoted to the rank of Master of Ceremonies by an exception. All fools knew that this man would definitely become a celebrity in the East Palace in the future, and his future would be limitless.
Especially now that the power of the East Palace is increasingly overwhelming, being the master of ceremonies in the East Palace is a job that many people dream of.
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, but he responded quickly and immediately kowtowed and saluted: "Student Yu Qian, thank you for your kindness. I will definitely live up to your majesty's high expectations!"
He now doesn't understand why the emperor issued an imperial edict to him out of nowhere to make him an official.
He is not just a student yet, but this time it is better. He will skip the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination. He will save twenty years of detours and go to the East Palace to serve.
Father Yu blinked his eyes, as if he still couldn't believe it.
This is like a great blessing. My son suddenly became a sixth-rank official in the capital. You must know that even the magistrate of a high-class county like Qiantang is only a sixth-rank official.
The status of Beijing officials in other provinces is extremely valuable. Now when the magistrate of Qiantang County sees Yu Qian, he has to bend down and respectfully call himself "I have met Mr. Yu before the magistrate of Qiantang County..."
"Master Yu, please get up quickly."
The eunuch who delivered the order immediately acted like a different person. He seemed particularly close to him and helped Yu Qian who was kneeling on the ground. "Master Yu is young and promising, and his future is limitless."
He feels regretful now. If he had known that this little brother was working with the Crown Prince, how could he be so majestic?
How many people who follow the current Crown Prince Zhu Gaojie as officials are driving high and low? All of them are prosperous in officialdom, and if they offend the people in the East Palace, it is equivalent to putting themselves on a dead end!
He originally thought of pretending to be a eunuch in another province because he was the eunuch in charge of rituals. Who would have thought that he would meet a man of God who he could not afford to offend.
Yu Qian said calmly: "I am just a student, how can I be worthy of being called a father-in-law?"
The eunuch who delivered the order smiled: "I deserve it, I deserve it."
Yu Qian chuckled and did not take this matter to heart.
He was not a grudge-bearing person, but the eunuch was too aggressive just now, and Yu Qian was unwilling to be subordinated, so there was some conflict.
Yu Qian looked north, feeling a little confused in his heart.
Why did I become the Master of Ceremonies of Zuo Chunfang inexplicably?
What kind of person should the prince he will serve in the future be?
…
At this time, Zhu Gaojie was still busy with official duties in the Wenhua Hall.
Shen Qingyu, who was wearing a robe with a four-clawed flying fish pattern, walked into the palace and looked around. When she saw the figure of His Highness the Crown Prince, she walked straight away.
After the rebellion was suppressed in the southwest, he was promoted to the rank of commander of the Jinyiwei, with a rank of third rank, and was given a flying fish uniform. He also had another identity, that is, he was the "messenger" between Lu Chaoyang and Zhu Gaojie, responsible for conveying the affairs of the Jinyiwei.
.
Nowadays, Lu Chaoyang also serves as the tax envoy of the Tax Supervisory Academy, the envoy of Fusi Town in North Town, and the envoy of Fusi Town in South Town. He is busy with official duties every day. Naturally, he cannot go to Zhu Gaojie to report work every day as before. But with a person like Shen Qingyu
Smart and capable subordinates don't have much influence.
Shen Qingyu walked to Zhu Gaojie's side and saw that the prince was handling the memorial, so he stopped and stood aside to watch.
This was an afternoon of waiting. After Zhu Gaojie finished his errands, he breathed a long sigh of relief, took a sip of tea from the table, and waved to Shen Qingyu.
Shen Qingyu then stepped forward to salute and said softly: "Prince, Your Majesty just issued an imperial edict to Qiantang County, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and it is related to the East Palace."
Zhu Gaojie tapped his fingers on the table: "Be more specific."
Seeing the prince's interest, Shen Qingyu continued: "Your Majesty makes an exception and appoints Yu Qian, a student from Qiantang County, as Master of Ceremonies of Zuochunfang, and asks him to stay with you as an attendant."
Jinyiwei's spies have identified Yu Qian. This person's ancestor Yu Bohan first lived in Shanxi and then moved to Suzhou. He now lives in Taipingli, Qiantang County, Hangzhou. His grandfather was the director of the Ministry of Industry in the Hongwu Dynasty, and his father was not an official.
Yu Qian passed the Academy Ceremony in Yongle ten years ago, so he was promoted as an exception, and his life experience is relatively clean. Somehow, he has won the favor of His Majesty, and he wants Yu Qian to be arranged by your side."
Zhu Gaojie narrowed his eyes slightly: "Yu Qian?"
Of course he remembered this later Yu Shaobao. After the Tumubao Incident, the Ora troops came to Beijing. It was Yu Qian who turned the tide and restored the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years. However, after welcoming back the Yingzong, Yu Qian was falsely accused of plotting to establish Xiang.
The king's son died unjustly.
This Shaobao can truly be regarded as a national hero and the savior of the Ming Dynasty.
It’s just that it’s only the fifteenth year of Yongle. Yu Qian has not even passed the Qiubu period, let alone his future official career. Why did he suddenly fall into the old man’s eyes and get an unusual promotion? The most important thing is that Yu Shaobao is still thrown into this situation.
into his east palace.
Zhu Gaojie couldn't understand, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
He said: "Jin Yiwei doesn't need to pay attention to this matter, just let nature take its course."
Since it is the handiwork of the old man, he naturally has his own ideas, so why bother doing more useless work.
Yu Shaobao's reputation was resounding enough, but it was not enough for Zhu Gaojie to make any special plans for this person. Everything would be natural and everything would fall into place.
If Jin Yiwei intervenes, something bad might happen, so it would be better to do nothing and wait and see what happens.
Zhu Gaojie chuckled lightly and asked Shen Qingyu, "How is it? How does it feel to become the commander of Jin Yiwei?"
Shen Qingyu quickly replied: "I don't dare to think too much. I just want to let him carry out his duties, serve the prince in a down-to-earth manner, and do his duty."
"Well, that's right. If you think so, you are very enlightened."
Zhu Gaojie asked casually, "What happened to Zhang Muzhi, who was nicknamed Mazi before?"
"Brother Mu was promoted to Jinyiwei to command the general affairs after he was in charge of the class."
"Well, you are all ministers who have consolidated the Ming Dynasty. They should be punished for their mistakes and rewarded for their merits. They are loyal to the emperor and patriots. It is natural for them to make some progress."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Gaojiu nodded slightly and said, "In the future, you don't have to run to the Wenhua Palace all the time. You should worry more about the Jin Yiwei. You can just send a message to Zhang Muzhi in the future."
."
Shen Qingyu was shocked, lowered her head and said, "I wonder if I did something wrong? Your Highness, please give me some advice."
"Don't think too much, I don't mean anything else."
Zhu Gaojie said, "Letting you be a commanding officer is a bit overkill. Lao Lu is now the tax inspector, and the affairs of the tax inspector are already busy enough. If he is asked to take on the errands of the Jin Yiwei again, he will inevitably be unable to take care of it.
As a subordinate, you should always worry about Shangguan. From now on, I will leave the errands of Jinyiwei to you, and let Lao Lu concentrate on the affairs of the Tax Supervisory Academy."
Lu Chaoyang took care of both the Tax Supervision Institute and the Jinyiwei. One was the highest tax management agency of the Ming Dynasty, and the other was an important three-in-one agency for spies, law enforcement, and interrogation. The two had different responsibilities but were equally important independent departments.
After all, it is not appropriate to manage it by one person.
It wasn't that Zhu Gaojie didn't trust Lu Chaoyang and wanted to divide Lao Lu's power, but that he was worried that such a busy and important task would cause Lao Lu Lei's health to collapse.
Even though Lao Lu is the number one model worker in the East Palace, he cannot really be treated like a cow. If such a loyal and capable subordinate fails, he, the prince, will regret it to death.
Zhu Gaojie has not changed before because there is really no other candidate who can take over and share the responsibility. Whether it is the tax inspector or the royal guard, they need not only ability, but also loyalty to him.
Now it seems that Shen Qingyu is a very good candidate.
"This... minister has limited qualifications and may not be able to take on a big responsibility. I would like to ask Your Highness to take back my order."
Shen Qingyu, who realized that he was expected to take over Jinyiwei, was of course very excited at first, but he quickly calmed down.
If he came down at this time, wouldn't it mean that Mr. Lu was stabbed in the back?
Zhu Gaojie shook his head and said: "If I ask you to come down, you should come down. You don't have to worry about Lao Lu, he will naturally understand my intention."
If it were anyone else, no matter how loyal they were, they would eventually become disloyal if they were decentralized for no fault of their own.
But Lu Chaoyang won't.
He has no nostalgia for power. Even if Zhu Gaojie wants Lao Lu to abdicate and retire into seclusion, Lu Chaoyang will calmly pick up the hoe and go to the fields to farm.
He would not have any doubts about Zhu Gaojie's orders.
Shen Qingyu did not dare to refuse any more: "Then I will obey His Highness' orders!"
"You go ahead." Zhu Gaojie waved his hand.
…
After the people left, Zhu Gaojie narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into thinking.
He was thinking about Yu Qian.
The old man Yu Qian mentioned the position of Master of Ceremonies of Zuo Chunfang. Zuo Chunfang is one of the agencies of the East Palace Office and Zhan Shifu. The old man's move is undoubtedly to train Yu Qian to become Zhu Gaojie's right-hand man.
This is not surprising. Yu Qian's talents are indeed worth cultivating and worthy of being valued by Zhu Gaojie.
But Zhu Gaojie understood this, how did the old man understand it?
Yu Qian is just a student in Qiantang County now. There are thousands of students in the world. Why does the old man pay so much attention to Yu Qian, even as if he has... insight into history?
The old man's actions before made Zhu Gaojie full of doubts, but now the old man's promotion of Qian made him even more convinced.
He guessed that the old man might not have traveled through time like him. After all, although the old man's behavior was abnormal, it was still within common sense. It was more like he had some ability to predict the future, but this prediction of the future seemed to be somewhat affected.
Restricted, you can only peek into part of the history.
This is outrageous and nonsense, but Zhu Gaojie feels that it is nonsense enough that he has traveled from the future, and if something even more nonsense appears, it will not seem so nonsense.
He closed his eyes lightly and did not dwell on it.
Even if the old man may have the ability to predict the future, it will not do him any harm. If there is no harm, why bother to think about it so clearly?
Everyone has secrets in their hearts, and Zhu Gaojie is no exception. The old man also knew that he had secrets in his heart, but he never pursued Zhu Gaojie persistently. They both pretended not to know that the other party had secrets in a tacit understanding.
It is precisely because of this tacit understanding that the originally sharp relationship between father and son has undergone subtle changes and is gradually becoming gentler.
This is what Zhu Di wants to see, and this is what Zhu Gaojie wants to see.
