On September 15, the emperor issued a holy decree, which was a holy decree that shook the imperial court.

Sun Chengzong served as a scholar of Wenhua Palace, was awarded the title of young master, entered the cabinet, and became the second assistant of the cabinet, Liu Zongzhou served as the imperial history of the left capital, and was crowned the prince Taibao, Huang Daozhou served as the imperial envoy of the right capital, and the prince was crowned the prince Taibao, and the three presided over the participation of the royal children in political affairs, and the Zongren Mansion assisted, Lu Shanji was awarded the title of secretary of the military department, and the military affairs of Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Sichuan provinces were the governors, responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, and Su Tiancheng was appointed as the governor of Shaanxi, and concurrently served as the commander of the Jiangning camp to assist in the eradication of the Liukou.

This is a thunderous decree, and the minister of the Chinese military department of the DPRK has already known that the children of the imperial family are about to enter the imperial court as officials, and the emperor has completely changed his previous policy.

This decree has two meanings.

In addition to the fact that the children of the royal family are about to enter the imperial court, there is another meaning, the imperial court is ready to launch the most encirclement and suppression of the Liukou, the Jiangning battalion entered Shaanxi, Su Tiancheng served as the governor of Shaanxi, and Lu Shanji was not in charge of Shaanxi's military affairs, which shows that Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion will shoulder the important task of exterminating the Liukou.

Discussion in the court was inevitable.

In the face of such explosive news, the shock in the court was extraordinary.

But this time, Zhu Youzhen was very tough, whether it was the imperial history or the twists and turns in the matter, he would not be deducted, and even in the early dynasty, it was clearly required that all civil and military ministers should not discuss without authorization.

Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou already knew Lu Dao's own tasks, and when they returned to the imperial court, they were immediately given such an important task, and their feelings can be imagined, especially Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou, who directly entered the high-level and were crowned as the crown prince and young protector, such a responsibility. Unusual.

Therefore, at the court meeting, the three of them made it clear that they supported the decision made by the emperor and would definitely complete the task.

The prestige of the three is extraordinary, the ministers of the court. Some can't find the north, I don't know how to launch an attack, for many years, the ministers of the court and the central government have been able to publicly refute the emperor's decision, but this time, they can't find a breakthrough, and the emperor has made a very clear statement, if someone is secretly making a fuss. After finding out, we will not spare it.

The vibration of the holy decree was not only in the capital, but also in the vassal kings everywhere.

Such news is extraordinary for the vassal king.

For many years, there is not much meaning in the vassal king's life, and he is raised by the imperial court. It's like raising a pig, eating, sleeping, sleeping, eating. Even if they have great ability, they have no place to show it, they are stared at by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and they dare not act rashly, they do not have the slightest political status, and they have become the target of bullying by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

The feudal lord and the son of the feudal king. It is a decisive change that they can enter the court as officials, and from this moment on, their political status has completely changed, which also speaks. They are the children of the royal family, and their status is inherently noble.

The shock to the vassal kings everywhere was great.

After learning of this incident, many vassal kings immediately gathered family members, bathed in incense, and worshiped the emperor and ancestors.

Zhu Xianxuan, the king of Jin, first wrote down the recital, played the imperial court, and praised the emperor, and at the same time showed that he was willing to make the greatest contribution to the revitalization of the Ming Dynasty, and then the reciprocal was the Fu King and the Fu Wang's son Zhu Youxiang.

After the holy decree was issued, Su Tiancheng was about to leave the capital and rush to Shaanxi Province.

He was only twenty-five years old, at such an age, he became the governor of Shaanxi and became a high-ranking official of the imperial court, which is a unique situation in the Ming Dynasty, and this is also the greatest embodiment of the emperor's absolute trust and his own ability.

The rest time is only ten days, on September 25, Su Tiancheng is about to set off and go to Shaanxi Province, these ten days, Su Tiancheng still has too many things to do.

The first thing is that he needs to make suggestions to Sun Chengzong and others, among the first batch of appointed vassal kings and vassal princes, there must be no Jin King Zhu Xianxuan and Fu Wang Shizi Zhu Youxiang.

The holy decree made it clear that Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou were responsible for the arrangement of the royal family, in fact, Su Tiancheng could not get out of it, and now, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government and all walks of life know that this "big rebellion" suggestion was put forward by Su Tiancheng, that is, the real responsibility is on Su Tiancheng's head.

Su Tiancheng knew that Sun Chengzong and the others were definitely going to find him.

Su Tiancheng didn't wait long.

On September 17, he arrived in the Forbidden City.

Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou are all in the Wenhua Palace, except for the three of them, there is no one else in the hall, it seems that they have been specially prepared, you must know that the three of them are very busy, after the holy decree is issued, the people who come to visit form a long line, and these people, mainly people from the Zongren Mansion, are not ordinary.

Sun Chengzong is an official from the first grade, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou are both officials of the second grade, Su Tiancheng is an official of the third grade, in front of the three of them, he is a subordinate, so etiquette can not be less, this is the Wenhua Hall in the Forbidden City, it is a place to handle official business, and it is a place where etiquette is needed.

Su Tiancheng saluted in a proper manner.

"Master Su, this official, Lord Liu, and Lord Huang invited you here today because they have some things that they want to discuss with you."

"Your Excellency, please command, the lower officials must know everything and say everything."

"Okay, the first question, how should the royal children enter the imperial court, how should their titles be implemented."

"The lower officials think that they already have a knighthood, and they don't need to continue to implement it."

"The second question, the children of the royal family, with a special status, if they enter the court as an official, how to treat them when they meet a superior official or a colleague."

"The lower officials think that the dignity of the royal family is still there, and the children of the royal family enter the court as officials, mainly to deal with administrative affairs, and in terms of acting government affairs, they must also listen to the opinions of their superiors, and do things in accordance with the imperial decrees of the imperial court and the emperor's holy decrees.

"How do the children of the clan participate in the imperial examination?"

"Except for the prince of the king, the rest of the clan relatives all need to take the imperial examination before they can enter the court as officials."

"Okay, the most critical question is that the vassal kings have their own fiefs, if they become officials, whether they are officials in their own fiefdoms or in other places."

"The specific situation is treated on a case-by-case basis, the best way is to be an official in a different place, according to the opinion of the lower officials, the policy of this fief should also be broken, and the vassal king can be in the capital, and there is no need to divide the feud to various places, which is not convenient for coordination and management."

Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou's faces were very serious, they didn't expect that Su Tiancheng's answer was so simple, if it is said that the fief of the vassal king is canceled, it is actually a disguised deprivation of some of the power of the vassal king, the vassal king left the fief, or the fief does not exist, and the fief privileges he has will naturally be canceled, so that the vassal king will live in the capital, on the surface, it is to take care of the vassal king, but it is actually a surveillance measure, and the vassal kings around the country have annexed a lot of land, If you leave the fiefdom and go to the capital, you can't manage the land, you can only sell it.

Sun Chengzong nodded first, Su Tiancheng thought about it very carefully, and thought of the details, since the vassal king and the prince of the vassal can enter the court as officials, then there is no need for them to stay in the place, the largest wealth of the vassal king's land, will naturally be sold, which is essential to alleviate the annexation of land, so that many farmers and tenants have land to cultivate, and increase the income of the imperial court.

Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou also understood the truth.

Half an hour later, Sun Chengzong changed the subject.

"Lord Su, you have made such a suggestion, this official and Lord Liu, Lord Huang are going to endure hardships, this official has heard that some vassal kings have already made a comeback, and I implore them to enter Beijing, the purpose of their entry into Beijing, everyone knows the Tao, but at this time, you are going to Shaanxi to take office, if it were not for the special situation in Shaanxi, the official would really leave you in the capital, the official knows that you must have someone to recommend, come out to King Jin and King Fu, are there any other recommended candidates."

Su Tiancheng smiled, except for Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Youxiang, he really has no other recommended candidates, he is about to go to Shaanxi, there are only two vassal kings with fiefs in Shaanxi, one is Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin with a fief in Xi'an, and the other is Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui with a fief in Hanzhong Mansion, these two vassal kings, he is not familiar with them, he doesn't know them at all, but he put forward the suggestion that the vassal king and the prince of the vassal can enter the court as an official, I believe that after arriving in Shaanxi, he will be able to get the strong support of the vassal king, these vassal kings are not stupid, Zhilu Dao has made good friends with himself, and it is very likely that his children will directly enter the court as officials.

"My lord, there is no other recommended candidate for the lower officials, the king of Jin and the prince of the Fu king, the lower officials have been contacted, and they are indeed capable, although the king of Jin and the lower officials have an unusual relationship, but the lower officials uphold the principle of not avoiding enemies and not avoiding relatives in the internal promotion, as long as they are capable, the lower officials will not hesitate to recommend them."

When he left the Forbidden City, Su Tiancheng's mind had already shifted and moved to Shaanxi.

There are too many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, this is also the vassal king has nothing to do, eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, there are naturally more wives, and there are more children born, hundreds of years have continued, and a huge team has been formed, to say that Sun Chengzong and others are really not easy to arrange, there are only so many positions, fortunately, in Su Tiancheng's recital, it has been proposed, no matter who it is, when entering the court to do things, it is necessary to start from below, except for the vassal king himself, the rest of the children, when arranging, You can consider arranging a position such as a county magistrate, or even a position such as a county magistrate or a chief secretary.

Zhu Youzhen agreed to such a suggestion, so in terms of arranging personnel, Sun Chengzong and others have a lot of room for operation, as for the quality of the place, it is not a problem that Su Tiancheng needs to think about. (To be continued......)
