In fact, whether it is an official of the Third Division of the East Palace or the current Taibao of Shen Yi, in the past, he usually got a higher official position. For example, after entering Zhongshu to serve as the Prime Minister, he might be given the title of Prince Taibao or Prince Taifu.
Generally speaking, this kind of title will be awarded posthumously only if an important minister dies.
But Shen Yi is not very normal.
He reached the extreme of being a minister prematurely, so he was named Taibao ten years ago, and a few years ago he was named Grand Scholar of Zhongji Palace.
He has already enjoyed all the privileges of being a civil servant.
If another Zhuguo was added, all the civil and military honors would be taken up by Mr. Shen.
However, as far as the current first-grade Taibao Shen is concerned, the first-grade crown prince and grand master can only be part-time, which will not help him at all, let alone improve him.
But as His Majesty the Emperor said.
He wanted to train Li Jian and sent Li Jian out to do things. Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace must feel a little uncomfortable. If he wants to make him feel more at ease or calm, he must give him some benefits.
In other words, Shen Yi's appointment as the Third Master of the East Palace was actually beneficial to the prince.
However...with this title, it means that after the new monarch ascends the throne, no matter who the new monarch is, Shen Yi and Shen Houye will be directly promoted from Taibao to Grand Master, becoming the top of the three divisions!
Shen Yi was silent for a long time and then said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty is putting all the contradictions on me."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled: "When I am still alive, no matter what official position Shen Qing is granted, she will not bear any pressure. One day, a hundred years from now, these contradictions Shen Qing said will really fall on Shen Qing's shoulders. ."
Having said this, Emperor Hong De's voice also softened, and he sighed silently: "Now, only Shen Qing can bear it."
He looked at Shen Yi.
"The reincarnation of Yang Jingzong thirty years ago would not be able to bear the burden that Shen Qing now shoulders."
Yang Jingzong was once the nightmare of Emperor Hong De.
In other words, it was the biggest enemy that Emperor Hong De and Shen Yi faced together when they were young.
Now that thirty years have passed, looking back, the enemies the two of them faced together have...
But that's it.
Mr. Shen raised his head and looked at the emperor.
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 tired look on the emperor's face could no longer be concealed.
Master Shen wanted to persuade the emperor to pay more attention to rest, but when the words came to his lips, he could no longer say them.
When Emperor Hongde was young, he might not have been particularly determined. At that time, Shen Yi persuaded him to move, but now, as the emperor who has been in power for thirty years, and the emperor who rules the world, he has already decided on things , no one can persuade me to move.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Shen Yi bowed slightly and said: "I will stand by your Majesty's side and do what your Majesty wants to do. No one in this court can topple the sky."
"No one can disobey His Majesty's will."
Emperor Hong De nodded and smiled: "After this matter is done, the only matters left for the imperial court are the Crown Prince's."
"And the hidden danger outside is the Tatars."
His Majesty the Emperor said sternly: "Shen Qing, the imperial court is now fully supporting Xue Wei of Datong. In the future, Shen Qing will also fully support Xue Wei and try to suppress the Tatars. I have seen clearly in the past few years that in the future we will greatly The biggest enemy will not be Zhu Zhenren, who is lingering outside the customs, but these Tatars."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Mr. Shen lowered his head slightly, leaned forward and said, "Other ministers cannot guarantee that the Tatars will never make any trouble as long as I am alive."
"As for the future..."
Mr. Shen said softly: "I can only look after the children."
His Majesty the Emperor smiled gently.
"Then for the sake of the imperial court, Shen Qing must live a long life."
Mr. Shen smiled dumbly and did not answer.
His Majesty the Emperor stood up and stretched greatly.
"That's it for today. Qing Shen will go back and have a good rest for a few days. I will order you to come to the palace in a few days. We, the monarchs and ministers, will carefully choose those officials of third grade or above."
Shen Yi thought for a while, nodded first, and then said: "Your Majesty, this person Zhou Yuanlang..."
"I know."
The emperor let out a breath and said: "Using him is a helpless move. It's just a temporary transition. I just hope..."
The emperor said slowly: "I just hope that among the northerners, there will be a few useful people as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Shen Yi felt slightly relieved.
It's not that he himself has any prejudice against Zhou Yuanlang. Even if Zhou Yuanlang becomes prime minister, it is unlikely to threaten his status.
But Zhou Yuanlang was extremely good at speculation. He was not only smart, but also cruel.
This kind of person is not suitable for being in the center.
Because of one mistake, the emperor could not control him.
But if it is used as a transition.
It's quite a good choice.
After all, the current Chen Dynasty is no longer the small southern court it used to be. Ten years ago, Chen Dynasty dominated the world in terms of force, but if it wants to dominate the world politically, culturally and in all aspects, it will take a long period of adjustment.
Northerners must have their own place, otherwise the court will remain unstable.
………………
For a period of time after that, Shen Yi often entered the palace and helped the emperor select officials of third rank or above.
There are not many officials in this group, but if you include local officials, they are not too few.
The screening criteria, in addition to the severity of their crimes, also include age, place of origin, origin, and more importantly, personal abilities.
After almost a month, the monarch and his ministers finally came to an end on this matter.
In the Manlu Palace, His Majesty the Emperor rubbed his brows, handed over a dozen envelopes to Shen Yi, and said, "Are these people reserved?"
Shen Yi nodded and said: "These are Jinshi from the Hongde Dynasty. They are relatively young and have good abilities. Your Majesty will summon them into the palace and teach them face to face. They will definitely be grateful to Your Majesty and will not dare to act dishonestly."
His Majesty the Emperor selected among them again. After careful consideration, he picked out two people and said, "Take these two people to the place and practice them for a few years to see the results."
"Others, just follow Shen Qing's ideas."
Speaking of this, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the documents sent by the three judges, narrowed his eyes, and chuckled: "In a few days, I will call them into the palace and show them these documents first, and wait until they are frightened. When you are pissed off, burn these documents in front of them."
"They should be honest."
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "It will be burned, but your Majesty should make a copy and keep a copy and put it in the palace to use as a handle for these people."
The emperor touched his chin and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Why don't you leave a copy with Shen Qing?"
Shen Yi shook his head quickly: "Your Majesty, how can such an important minister be kept in the hands of his ministers?"
The emperor thought for a while, then shook his head: "I'm afraid that the successors will not take it seriously. I will keep a copy of these documents in the inner guard. If Shen Qing doesn't keep them, I won't keep them. But Shen Qing wants to keep theirs." Remember the name."
Mr. Shen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I am also a Jinshi. I can still remember more than a dozen names."
The emperor picked up the writing brush, took the white paper beside him, wrote a new name on the paper, and said, "This person must be investigated by the Sanfa Department."
Shen Yi looked at it and frowned slightly: "The old minister of the Ministry of Rites..."
"Um."
The emperor yawned and said: "This old guy has made a lot of money over the years. He is not young anymore, and he still occupies his position and refuses to change his position. Use some excuses to make him voluntarily resign and return to his hometown. "
Speaking of this, the emperor smiled and said: "Make room for your brother."
Shen Yi was silent for a long time, then stood up and lowered his head,
"I take my place on behalf of my younger brother."
