Chapter 192: The Four Great Auxiliary Ministers
The edict of the Son of Heaven, that is, the edict of succession, can be said to be the most important document in the imperial court, after this kind of document is read, it will be sealed and put into the Tianlu Pavilion in the palace to seal the wax for preservation, and it will never be taken out without special circumstances.
The edicts of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties were sealed in the Tianlu Pavilion.
Therefore, all Li Xin could see was this transcribed copy.
Even if it is transcribed, not everyone is qualified to transcribe it, and only ministers who are qualified to see the edict are qualified to transcribe it.
Li Xin's face was expressionless, and after taking the paperwork, he slowly unfolded it.
The format of the edict of succession is generally the same, and the beginning is nothing more than "bow to the virtue and be thin, and be fortunate to inherit the unification", and then write how to tremble and dedicate to your job during your reign, these two parts are similar.
The most crucial part is the last part.
According to the rules of the Great Jin Dynasty, the new monarch is sixteen years old and is not yet sixteen years old, but he must set up auxiliary ministers to temporarily take charge of political affairs.
Li Xin looked at the previous content, swept it over, and quickly saw the most critical part.
"Ji Yan, the eldest son of the emperor, has profound virtues, bows deeply, and is the emperor's ......"
"However, the prince is young and cannot preside over the court, so he chooses four auxiliary ministers to assist the Son of Heaven and turn over the people's livelihood."
Seeing this, the eyes of the Marquis of Jing'an changed slightly.
The position of the auxiliary minister represents the great authority, the prince is thirteen years old this year, and he will be fourteen years old after the New Year in ten days, which means that the auxiliary minister can control the court for at least two years, and in these two years, as long as the four auxiliary ministers agree on the same page, they can act on behalf of the king!
If Li Xin can get this position, then in the next two years, no matter what he wants to do, there will be nothing to stop him.
De jure, it took advantage.
He looked down.
"Ren Shangshu's left servant shot Shen Kuan, and the middle book made the ram Shu ......"
"Ji Lin, the left governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the four of the imperial historians, the new monarch's auxiliary ministers, and the four Wang'er people, can help the court and help the world......"
Next, there is a gorgeous and obscure prose.
To be honest, seeing that these four people did not have themselves in their names, Li Xin was inevitably a little disappointed, but he was not surprised.
If there was no matter in the southwest before, and the Son of Heaven died, he Li Xin should have been able to get the position of an auxiliary minister, but there had been a contradiction before, and the southwest had become a threat to the imperial court, and it was naturally impossible for the Son of Heaven to fake the imperial power to Li Xin, after all, this was no different from throwing a sharp knife and a thief.
And these four auxiliary ministers are still very meaningful.
Zuo Xiang Shen Kuan naturally doesn't need to say much, now he is in charge of Shangshutai, and most of the government affairs of the court have to pass through his hands, no matter what, the position of this auxiliary minister can't bypass him, as for Zhongshu Ling Ram Shu, it is the prime minister of the Chengde Dynasty, and there is no problem with giving him one of the four auxiliary ministers.
The other two are even simpler, the position of the Zuo Governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion has always been exclusive to the Ji family, the former Zuo Du Governor Ji Ping, because he is old and unbearable, there is no way to continue to control the Dadu Governor's Mansion, so the new Zuo Du Governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion fell on the head of this Wei Duke Ji Lin.
The different surnames of the Great Jin Dynasty are only the Ye family of the Chen Guogong Mansion, but the Guogong surnamed Ji is not so rare, after all, there is a prince like King Xiang Zhao and King Qi, even if he is cut from generation to generation, it will take two generations to fall to the Guogong.
And the other imperial historian is strict and clumsy, and he is also an old minister of the Chengde Dynasty.
He used to be the secretary of Dali Temple in Dali Temple, and he was one of the nine secretaries of the imperial court, and everyone thought that his official sports would stop at the position of Dali Temple, but in recent years, Taikang Tianzi transferred him to the imperial history platform, and let him do the position of supervising the imperial history all the way.
Of the four auxiliary ministers, two of Shangshutai were in charge of government affairs, one of Yushitai was in charge of supervising officials, and the Dadu Governor's Office, which was responsible for the deployment of troops, was naturally in charge of the military, so a near-perfect balance of power was completed.
The edict left by the Emperor Taikang must have been pondered for a long, long time.
Thinking of this, Li Xin continued to look down.
After a long period of prose, a line of words appeared in Li Xin's eyes.
"In the southwest of the country, there are rebels in the southern army who have not been cleared, and in the northern Xinjiang, there are also remnants of the Zhou Dynasty that have not been settled, and I have worked hard for ten years and failed to achieve ......"
"There are hidden dangers in the north and the south, and it is very easy for war to break out again."
"If there is a war, the general of the left battalion of the forbidden army, the prince Taibao Li Xin, the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, and the loyal and brave Marquis Hou Jingde, can refer to the military ......"
Seeing this, Li Xin sighed deeply.
The entire edict is hundreds of words, and there is only one sentence mentioning him.
The so-called military consultation means that once the imperial court fights with other forces, he is not just a general with troops, but can enter Shangshutai and discuss with these auxiliary ministers and assistants, whether to fight or not, and how to fight.
And he can only "consult", that is, he can only consult with these people, and cannot make decisions directly.
In normal times, he doesn't even have the right to "know".
Even so, the Son of Heaven was still not at ease with Li Xin, and wrote Hou Jingde in the holy decree.
In fact, Hou Jingde should not have appeared in this edict, the person arranged by the Son of Heaven was actually General Pei Jin, but Pei Jin was annoyed by the Son of Heaven because of the defeat of the southwest and lost the errand of the forbidden army, so the name fell on Hou Jingde's head.
He was "added" by force.
Seeing this, Li Xin closed the document and handed it back to Shen Kuan.
"Congratulations to Shen Xiang for being awarded the position of auxiliary minister."
Shen Kuan shook his head silently and sighed: "Marquis Li has tormented the old man, where did he come from?" Emperor Daxing was in his prime, and suddenly he went, and the big burden in the court was on the head of Shangshutai, the old man was originally a mediocre person, and he was lucky to enter Shangshutai, and he didn't know if he could survive these two years and hand over the country to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet officially ascended the throne, and he is still the prince, and after three days, he will be the emperor of the Eight Classics.
Li Xin glanced back at the prince and bowed his head slightly: "In this way, I won't disturb Shen Xiang's busyness, if Shen Xiang needs to be busy in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, you can come to the Hou Mansion to find me." ”
Shen Kuan arched his hand and said: "Hou Ye Li is polite, if there is something, you must trouble Hou Ye Li." ”
After Li Xin said goodbye to him, he turned around and looked around, and finally saw Xiao Zheng's shadow, he walked to Xiao Zheng's side, and asked in a deep voice: "Father-in-law Xiao, can you see where the eldest princess is?" ”
Xiao Zheng hadn't slept for several days, he was busy all over at this moment, and after hearing Li Xin's words, he stopped his errand, and hurriedly turned around and bowed to Li Xin and said, "Back to the Hou Ye, Your Highness, she is still in Weiyang Palace in the morning, and she should accompany the Queen Mother to Kunde Palace to rest at this time." ”
Li Xin nodded slowly.
"Then Father-in-law Xiao, you are busy, I'll go to find the eldest princess."
"Master Hou is polite."
To go to Kunde Palace, you need to leave Weiyang Palace, Li Xin walked through the crowd with his hands and walked towards the door of Weiyang Palace,
At this time, several officials of the Ministry of Rites were discussing the matter of the Son of Heaven's name.
When Li Xin passed by them, he heard the word "nickname", so he deliberately slowed down.
After listening for a while, he vaguely heard the word "Jing".
The Marquis of Jing'an sighed, left Weiyang Palace with his hands, and walked towards Kunde Palace.
