The first thousand one hundred and fortieth chapters reserve (six)
After the dynasty meeting dispersed, the emperor summoned the important ministers to move to the Qing Palace to discuss matters.
The establishment of a crown prince is a major event for the country, and issuing an edict is only the first step. Next, a grand ceremony for establishing the crown prince will be held to announce it to the world. Then the Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace will be set up, and officials will be selected and appointed as subordinate officials of the crown prince in the East Palace.
Officials in the East Palace Zhanshi Mansion will also become the new emperor's most valued and trusted confidants after the prince ascends the throne. They will naturally have a bright future in the future.
Therefore, the official vacancies in the Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace have always been hotly contested, and I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the official vacancies. When the emperor announced that he wanted to set up the Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace, the ministers immediately thought about whether they would build a house for a certain disciple or their own family.
The nephew "robbed" an official vacancy.
In addition, there is the more attractive position of Tai Tu.
Princess Duanrou has grown up and does not need to be taught how to read. However, a tutor who teaches political affairs is indispensable.
The position of Crown Prince and Tutor is not a specific official position, but it is the top honor that everyone in the civil service longs for.
Is there anything more fulfilling, more dignified and honorable than teaching a prince?
According to the practice of the Da Qi court, only civil servants of second rank or above are qualified to serve as princes and tutors. According to this standard, most of the people in the Yiqing Palace today can compete.
The emperor had obviously made a plan, and ordered in an orderly manner: "Duanrou is still young and still needs to learn government affairs. After listening to the decree, Xiao Shangshu, the old man of Lu Ge, from today on, I will appoint you two as Taifu, and you will spend half an hour each day."
Teach gentleness."
Mr. Xiao Shangshu, the elder of Lu Ge, was overjoyed, and they all raised their hands to thank him: "Old minister, I obey the order!"
The other ministers could not help but feel a little sour in their hearts when they saw this.
Lu Ge is always the chief assistant and the great-grandfather of Princess Duanrou's future husband. He is the crown prince and tutor, and all the ministers are convinced. But why should Xiao Shangshu!
When it comes to official positions, talents and learning, Xiao Shangshu’s turn is never there!
However, Xiao Shangshu stood up early. Throughout last year, Princess Duanrou studied at the Ministry of Revenue and got along extremely well with Xiao Shangshu. Xiao Shangshu was also the first among the important ministers to express support for the establishment of the crown prince.
It was obviously because of these reasons that the emperor made Xiao Shangshu the crown prince and tutor.
As for Xie Jun, Princess Duanrou was appointed as the crown prince, which was a great joy for the Xie family. As the prince's direct maternal grandfather, it didn't matter whether he was the prince's tutor or not!
Sheng Hong smiled and told A Luo: "Go and pay tribute to the two masters."
A Luo responded with a smile, and met the two newly minted princes and tutors as a student: "Students have met the two tutors. In the future, please give more guidance and advice to the two tutors."
Mr. Lu Ge, who was holding a heavy hand, stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Highness, please excuse me."
Xiao Shangshu was even more kind and cordial: "Your Highness, please forgive me. It is a great honor to be able to teach His Highness. I am sincere and frightened, and I will do my best."
The next step is to discuss the candidates for Zhan Shifu in the East Palace.
Lu Ge Lao and Xiao Shangshu politely did not say a word, and the other ministers each had a suitable candidate. At this time, no one would be humble, and opened their mouths to praise the person they recommended as a flower.
Sheng Hong smiled and said nothing.
A Luo didn't make a sound either, listening silently.
After all the ministers finished speaking, Sheng Hongcai said: "We will set up Zhan Shifu after the crown prince ceremony. There is no need to rush the candidates for Zhan Shifu. Just choose slowly."
After all the ministers resigned, Sheng Hong smiled at A Luo and said, "A Luo, the officials of Zhan Shifu are your team, how about you choose them?"
A Luo responded without hesitation: "Okay."
After working for a long time, Sheng Hong was already hungry and said with a smile: "Let's go back to Jiaofang Palace together. Your mother must have prepared lunch for us when we return."
…
After a while, Sheng Hong led A Luo back to Jiaofang Hall.
Xie Mingxi greeted him with a smile.
Shanchang Gu and Concubine Mei were also there, and they all said in unison: "A Luo, come here."
A Luo: "..."
One is my beloved and dearest grandmother, and the other is my direct grandmother. Even if my heart is partial to one, I must not show it in my actions.
A Luo was very smart. She walked between Chief Gu and Princess Mei and smiled sweetly at them: "Here we come."
Both Gu Shanchang and Mei Taifei were amused.
Gu Shanchang was forgetful just now, but now he has calmed down and will not compete with Concubine Mei. He smiled slightly and stopped making any sound.
Concubine Mei took Ah Luo's hand, her eyes filled with joy: "A Luo, grandma was so shallow in the past. From now on, no matter what you do, grandma will definitely support you!"
No matter how capable Mrs. Mei is, her full support attitude always makes people happy.
A Luo's eyes were full of smiles: "Thank you, grandma."
Before Chief Gu could say hello, Ah Luo took the initiative to come over and said with a friendly smile: "Master, are you very happy today?"
A'luo has a slender figure, half a head taller than Gu Shan. At this time, she deliberately bent her knees slightly, and Gu Shanchang stretched out his hand and stroked A'luo's hair.
This subtle consideration made Gu Shanchang feel warm in his heart.
For more than ten years, she has watched with her own eyes as A Luo grew up from a toddler who was babbling and became more and more outstanding day by day. She has no bloodline of her own, and in her heart, the people closest to her are
It's Xie Mingxi. A'luo is like her granddaughter.
Ah Luo also lived up to her expectations and was better than she expected!
"A Luo, I'm very happy." Gu Shanchang said with a smile on his face and tears in his eyes: "I'm so happy!"
The strong joy and pride are clearly evident.
Ah Luo felt warm in her heart, her nose felt a little sour, and she said softly: "Grandma, Ah Luo will not let you down."
Gu Shanchang let out a choked sigh.
Concubine Mei looked on, feeling a little sad in her heart.
However, no one can compare to Mr. Gu’s devotion to A-Luo over the years. His deep affection and kindness in being with her day and night, teaching and accompanying her attentively, is even better than that of her biological grandmother.
That’s all, what else is there to be sore about?
Concubine Mei calmed down and said softly: "It's getting late, let's go have a meal together!"
A Luo smiled and agreed, holding Gu Shanchang in one hand and Mrs. Mei in the other, and went to the dining room with a smile.
…
After lunch, Mr. Gu Shanchang and Mrs. Mei went to take a nap respectively.
Xie Mingxi and A Luo finally had a chance to be alone.
Xie Mingxi stared at A Luo quietly and asked softly: "A Luo, how do you feel now?"
A Luo thought for a while and said: "Of course I am happy. However, I am not completely happy. There is always some unspeakable depression in my heart."
"It's good that you didn't get carried away by the joy." Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "You know in your heart that you were appointed as the crown prince by your father. It may take a long time for all the ministers to bow their heads."
"So, you still have a long way to go. Don't be arrogant, let alone get carried away."
A Luo nodded solemnly: "What the Queen said is true. I know what to do."
