Chapter 392: The eunuch is here

With the merits of Huang Xu, Lin Yuan, Deng Ai and others, it is more than enough to be named a miscellaneous general, and they have a lot of strength to pacify Nanzhong and rescue Jingzhou.

Especially Lin Yuan and Deng Ai, the merits of the two of them are basically higher than the generals in the flat and An positions, even the cold buds in the Zheng position are not as good as them.

However, although they were named generals, they still had no military power, and now Liu Chan was named the crown prince, and they wanted to form the East Palace institutions, they belonged to the subordinate officials of the East Palace, and the generals were just honorary titles, and they were just rewarded.

After the reward ended, Liu Bei announced the end of the council, but left Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and other three princes and nine kings.

Now that the Han Dynasty has been rebuilt, the candidates for the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries have been decided, and the next step is the formation of each yamen and the appointment of subordinate officials.

Only when the various yamens are formed, the officials are properly arranged, and each performs his own duties, can the country function.

However, this is a very heavy task and cannot be solved in a short time.

For example, Shaofu, this institution serves the court and has two major functions, mainly responsible for collecting taxes on mountains and seas and ponds and collecting local contributions for the use of the court.

Internally, he is also responsible for all the supplies and services needed by the palace such as food, clothing, daily life, and safari play.

First of all, it serves the court internally, focusing on food, clothing, housing and transportation, and good safaris.

This food, clothing, housing and transportation are subdivided, and there are imperial officials who order to take charge of court meals, brew wine, grow vegetables, eat rare birds and beasts, and offer fruits at four o'clock.

There is a matter of the soup official ordering the main offering of cakes, bait, fruits, goods and food, and there is also the soup official drinking supervisor to assist the soup official order to supervise the palace diet.

There are also imperial physician orders, imperial medical supervisors, in charge of palace medicine, medical treatment and other affairs.

There is a royal decree, and the prince of heaven is in charge of money, treasures, clothes, etc. The head of the cell is in charge of slaughtering goods and food.

Shang Fangling, the main treasures and artifacts, including the scriptures and the best weapons, such as the best weapons treasured by the royal family, the bows and arrows and other weapons needed for safaris, are in charge of Shang Fangling.

There is also a Zhongche Order, that is, a eunuch, who is fully responsible for serving the royal family, which is commonly known as the head of the eunuch.

And now that the Han Dynasty has been rebuilt, there is not a single eunuch in the palace, and it has to be selected from the people, which is also a heavy job.

There is also Shang Shuling, who is a close minister of the emperor, and goes in and out, which is roughly equivalent to the work of a secretary, but now Shang Shuling is basically independent from Shaofu and is responsible for managing national affairs, and his power is even higher than that of Shaofu.

The Shaofu alone was responsible for serving the court as many as a dozen institutions, and its subordinate officials totaled several hundred. There were other eunuchs, cooks, palace maids, imperial doctors, etc., and at least a few thousand people were needed to meet the needs of the court.

Externally, it is also necessary to levy taxes, supply the court, and set up handicrafts, such as gold, silver, jade, cloth and other things, which are all formed by the Shaofu outside, produced, and then specially supplied to the court.

This is just a Shaofu institution, it is so troublesome, it can make people very busy, not to mention that there are three princes and nine secretaries, a total of more than a dozen yamen institutions need to be formed.

Liu Bei left the three dukes and nine qings, and called Liu Chan again: "Adou, you can also discuss with me!" ”

"Sons obey orders!"

The crowd gathered together to carry out the work of forming the various government offices.

Now that Liu Bei has ascended the throne and rebuilt the Han Dynasty, all affairs are in the grassroots, but Liu Bei must personally intervene and will not leave all the power to Liu Chan to handle.

The first step in the formation of various yamen organs is to establish subordinate officials.

The three princes and nine secretaries have been appointed, and then the subordinate officials have been determined, so that the yamen is basically formed, and then only need to expand the officials and servants.

The first organization that needs to be formed is naturally Shaofu and Guangluxun, one is responsible for the palace miscellaneous life, and the other is responsible for the palace guards.

As for the other yamen, the officials can still perform their duties and remain the same, and after the establishment of the two institutions directly serving the court, Shaofu and Guangluxun, is completed, and other institutions are slowly formed.

After three days of discussion, the number of subordinate officials of Guangluxun and Shaofu was determined, and then only the manpower needed to be expanded, and it was officially completed.

Shaofu is directly responsible for the affairs of the court, and in the next few days, many more people will slowly come to the palace to repair the palace and replace the plaque.

This palace was originally built according to the scale of the palace in the past, and there was no need for large-scale repair and expansion, and Liu Bei's ambition was to restore the Han dynasty and return it to the old capital, Chengdu was only a temporary capital, and there was no need for large-scale extravagance and waste.

Many palaces have been named or renamed, and there are many more guard handles at each gate.

A month later, Liu Chan also moved into his own East Palace, which was located on the east side of the palace and was the prince's exclusive palace.

In the past month, the subordinate officials of each yamen have been basically determined, and the next step is to expand the manpower.

As for Liu Chan's subordinate officials in the East Palace, Liu Bei did not interfere much, and let Liu Chan appoint himself.

Now Liu Chan serves as the crown prince, Lin Yuan, Deng Ai, Huang Xu, Liu Yin, E Huan, Jufu and others are still serving as Wei Rate, Fei Yi, and Dong Yun respectively serve as the prince's horse wash and the prince's housekeeper.

Wei Rate is mainly responsible for guarding the palace gate, taking charge of the soldiers and horses of the East Palace, and protecting the crown prince.

The prince was responsible for following and teaching the prince to read. The prince served as a secretary, consultant and other work.

In addition, belonging to the East Palace institution, there are also official positions such as Prince Zhan Shi, Prince Concubine, Prince Gate Doctor, Prince Family Order, Prince Cheng and so on.

However, Liu Chan is not fully equipped.

Although Liu Chan now has three wives, because Liu Chan is too young, Mrs. Gan is afraid that Liu Chan will covet women and ruin her body, so she set up another palace for Sun Shangxiang and them, not to live with Liu Chan.

Therefore, at present, there is only one person in the East Palace, and Liu Chan only has three official positions: guarding, washing horses, and giving people, and the rest are not set up for the time being.

The subordinate officials of each yamen have been determined, and there is no need for Liu Chan to discuss, so Liu Chan will stay in the East Palace to read and enjoy his leisure.

At this time, Deng Ai walked in and arched his hand: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Dong Shaofu ordered someone to send a group of chamberlains and palace maids. ”

"Oh? Check it out! Liu Chan became interested when he heard this, put down the books in his hand and walked out.

When I came to the main hall, I saw more than ten people standing on the left and right sides of the main hall.

On the left are ten chamberlains, while on the right are Li Wan'er as the leader, leading ten palace maids.

Li Wan'er was originally responsible for serving Liu Chan's daily life, and after moving to the East Palace, Li Wan'er also came over, but originally in addition to Li Wan'er, there were only three maids, but now there are seven more, presumably increased by Shaofu.

As for being an in-house attendant, he just came here today.

Before the Han Dynasty, eunuchs were not necessarily eunuchs, but after the Han Dynasty, eunuchs were eunuchs.

These ten attendants were all pale and beardless, and their faces were a little pale, presumably they had just been purified.

Although the Shaofu is the latest to be formed, the eunuchs and palace maids need to spend time in the people to select, and the eunuchs also have to be punished by the palace and need time to recuperate, so more than a month later, eunuchs only appeared in the palace.

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Liu Chan came to the main hall and sat down, and the eunuchs and palace maids on the left and right all bowed.

Although there was a record of kneeling in the Han Dynasty, under normal circumstances, it would not be bowed.

Liu Chan nodded and said to everyone, "Raise your head!" ”

A group of eunuchs and palace maids raised their heads one after another.

These people are between fifteen and twenty-five years old, the eunuchs are handsome, and the hallmarks of palace girls are very good.

These people were all selected from a good family with a clean background, and after a month of training, they basically understood the etiquette of the court, but when they saw Liu Chan, the future master, a few of them were still a little trembling.

Liu Chan smiled when he saw this, although he didn't like eunuchs, but eunuchs were an indispensable part of the court, Liu Chan didn't pity them, becoming eunuchs was their own choice, the emperor was posted, and the servants gathered, Liu Chan did not force them to purify themselves, they voluntarily entered the palace.

Dong Yun on the side took a fold and handed it to Liu Chan: "Shizi, this is the roster of new chamberlains and palace maids!" ”

Liu Chan took the roster and said to the people below: "I read your names, you have to respond, look up and let me see." ”

"No!"

"Li Bing!"

"The slave is here!" A chamberlain looked up and walked out.

"Zhang Hui!"

"The slave is here!" Another eunuch walked out.

Liu Chan nodded, recognized his familiar face, and read again: "Huang ...... Hao ......"
