In the system of the Qin Empire, since Taizu abolished the prime minister system, the emperor's authority has been strengthened unprecedentedly, but what followed was extremely busy government affairs.
Without the prime minister, all government affairs were backlogged on the emperor's shoulders, and not every emperor was as diligent as Taizu. After conquering the country, he could only rest for three or four hours a day, and the rest of the time was spent on handling government affairs.
The emperor is also a human being and needs rest. It is impossible for the emperor to handle all the heavy government affairs alone.
So there was a cabinet.
There are a total of five bachelors in the cabinet, one first assistant and four second assistants, but there is no rule about who is the first assistant and who is the second assistant.
It just depends on each person's skill and the emperor's preference.
Generally, the person with the highest prestige is the first and assistant.
So in this dynasty, Zhao Xuanji has been the chief minister for so many years, and has always controlled the power of the cabinet, and even once competed with the imperial power.
However, now that Li Chen has invited Tan Tai Jingzhi out, a huge problem has arisen.
Tan Taijing's prestige is unparalleled in the world. So once Tan Taijing becomes an official and enters the cabinet, what will happen to the power of the chief minister?
That’s all for others, that’s Tantai Mirror!
It can be said to be the belief of the literati of the Qin Empire.
I don’t know how many officials in the imperial court grew up reading Tantai Jingzhi’s books.
And the prince actually invited Tantai Jingzhi out of the mountain.
And he directly joined the cabinet, and he was a highly respected minister.
Everyone feels thirsty.
This first morning meeting in the new year is really frightening.
Standing in the center of everyone's attention, Zhao Xuanji had a calm expression on his face.
He slowly stepped out of the queue, raised his hand and said: "Mr. Mirror is a world-famous sage. Previously, His Majesty invited Mr. Mirror to serve as an official three times but was rejected. Now that His Highness invites Mr. Mirror, it is a blessing for the court and all people in the world."
Fortunately."
"Therefore, the veteran agrees with His Highness's proposal and thinks it is not inappropriate. It is a great thing for Mr. Jingzhi to join the cabinet as a bachelor."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the court was shocked.
It's not that everyone didn't expect that Zhao Xuan would agree. The main reason was that Tan Tai Jingzhi's name was too loud and he couldn't refuse. If he refused, he would be risking the disdain of the world. Just the saliva of the world's literati could drown someone.
But even if you agree, it shouldn’t be so simple and direct, right?
It seems that Zhao Xuanji is really happy?
Li Chen chuckled lightly and said: "The first assistant Gao Yi is listed as a minister, so he should learn from the first assistant."
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty immediately raised their hands and said: "The first assistant Gao Yi."
"I wonder when Mr. Mirror will take office?" Zhao Xuanji asked.
"We will arrive in the capital in a few days." Li Chen said.
Zhao Xuanji smiled gently and said: "If Mr. Jingzhi comes to the capital, please introduce him to Your Highness. I have been on good terms with Mr. Jingzhi for a long time."
"As it should be."
The conversation between the two lasted only a few words, but the turmoil in the hearts of the other ministers still did not subside.
If Tantai Jingzhi is invited by the prince, the prestige of the East Palace in the eyes of the people's scholars will instantly skyrocket. In terms of political stance, Tantai Jingzhi will definitely side with the East Palace, and the political situation will be tilted again.
When people looked at the prince standing on the high platform, they felt that the figure in the red robe was so eye-catching. No one knew how the prince persuaded Dantai Jingzhi, but the facts were before their eyes. Everyone could only
accept.
At this time, more and more people began to feel shaken in their hearts.
Could it be that the Prince of the East Palace is really his destiny?
