The crown prince was first established, which played a great deterrent role in the court.

At first, Jiang Su thought that he could regain his position in the court by relying on his identity as the prince's uncle, but he didn't expect the prince to pay no special attention to him at all.

It is said that there are three fires for new officials to take office, and the first fire for the prince when he first enters the court is the performance evaluation.

"Local officials were originally not uniformly evaluated until the end of the year. It's just that the new officials who were delegated in the spring of this year just in time for their father's illness and unwillingness to supervise. I have asked my father to decide on the appointment of the new magistrate in advance. ”

This makes sense, the emperor is seriously ill these days, and it is inevitable that some people will take this opportunity to slack off and be lazy.

The Beijing officials in the court naturally don't dare, and those who are released may not be, as the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, where can I manage it?

Now that the assessment is carried out in advance, it is natural to remind those local officials that they know that there is a prince in the court and the country, and they cannot be slack and lazy.

In this way, the responsibility of the officials is greater.

Jiang Su was the first to stand up, "Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince, it is the responsibility of the officials to evaluate the performance of officials, and the ministers have no shirk of responsibility." ”

The prince stood at the top, the young man's body was straight and upright, and one hand was behind him, "The officials are extremely busy with the assessment at the end of every year, not to mention the sudden advance this time?" Therefore, I have asked my mother to add another person for this assessment to help the officials complete it as soon as possible. ”

Someone else?

Jiang Su was stunned for a moment, and then listened to the prince say: "Previously, Master Su Zhiming Su and Master Zhang Zhidong Zhang, the two of them had inspected Jiangnan for their father, and they had a good understanding of local government affairs. How about asking the two of you to assist the officials in completing the assessment? ”

Su Zhiming and Zhang Zhidong both stood up, "Weichen leads the order." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Jiang Su hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I don't think it's necessary, right?" The officials can do this independently, and they don't need two adults to do it for them. What's more, the two of them are still young, and they are the new officials of this imperial examination, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will not favor their classmates. ”

He controlled the ministry with one hand, so he naturally didn't want Su and Zhang to share his credit at this time.

Zhang Zhidong, as the champion of today's department, has his own arrogance, and he can't help but refute when he hears this, "Weiyuan Hou's words are wrong. If we say that we favor anyone because of the friendship of our classmates, then Hou Ye is so stubborn and refuses to let people evaluate local officials with the ministry, do you know who Hou Ye deliberately favors in his heart? ”

"You!"

is worthy of being the champion of today's department, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, Jiang Su was said to be the central matter, and his face was slightly red.

The prince watched coldly, thinking in his heart that what Su Youyi said was right.

She said that Jiang Su would definitely disagree with this plan, and said that if Jiang Su opposed it......

"Okay, don't fight, two adults."

He pressed his hand and opened his mouth to stop the turmoil, "This is what I agreed with the queen mother, and I also returned to my father, but my father has no opinion." If the Hou Ye insists on refusing, please go to your father to oppose it. It's just that it will be about a while, and my father has been unwell for the past two days, and he has not seen the courtiers. ”

Jiang Su's face turned even redder.

He didn't expect the prince to leave him no face at all, he was the prince's uncle, and now that the prince is in the court, why is he talking worse than before?

Zhang Zhidong secretly looked at Jiang Su's expression, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

……

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so majestic, the emperor is Shengming, the eldest prince is the most suitable candidate."

After the next dynasty, Zhang Zhidong couldn't help but sigh with Su Zhiming, "Today's court is really happy, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who pressed Weiyuan Hou for us, and this time we would have assessed the performance of the new local officials, we would have to be picked up by him relying on the old and selling the old land." ”

"yes."

Su Zhiming was also overjoyed, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be so fair and strict at such a young age, and he didn't favor himself because Marquis Weiyuan was his uncle." ”

Zhang Zhidong thought for a while, "Didn't you listen to His Royal Highness the Prince?" I think there is also the credit of the queen mother in this matter. Zhiming, it's not me flattering in front of you, the queen is really smart. ”

Su Zhiming touched his ears exaggeratedly, "What you said made my ears calloused, at first I didn't think you were flattering, you said too much, how can I not doubt it?" ”

Zhang Zhidong laughed, knowing that Su Zhiming was joking with him.

But he really thought so from the bottom of his heart, when he studied hard for the imperial examination, he admired the name of Ji Yushen, the first assistant of the young people of the dynasty.

After he entered the court, Ji Yushen went downhill.

Fortunately, Su Youyi has regained his political enthusiasm again, so that he still has a worthy object to learn from in the DPRK.

Su Zhiming turned his head to look at it, and the ministers of the next dynasty walked in pairs, mostly praising the majesty of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, and there was a look of approval in their expressions.

He nodded secretly.

The crown prince did not return to the East Palace, but went directly to Kunning Palace.

Su Youyi was sitting under the porch resting, watching the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace carry the flower pots, "The newly bloomed chrysanthemums this autumn. The flowers are extremely delicate, so be careful. After a while, I picked a few good pots and sent them to the emperor and placed them under the window of his bedroom, so that the emperor could occasionally open the window to breathe and see. ”

The palace maids agreed one after another, and suddenly saw a bright yellow rushing in from outside the door, and everyone was startled, thinking that the emperor was coming.

After a closer look, I found that it was not the emperor, but the prince.

The crown prince has just left the court.

Su Youyi saw him from a distance and beckoned with a smile, "The prince has gone down?" What do you think? ”

The prince was a little excited, and before he entered the hall, he said under the corridor: "The queen mother is so right, you are all expecting it!" You said that you took Wei Yuanhou to kill chickens and monkeys, and it was true. When I went to the next court, I asked Xiao Kizi to send someone to inquire, and all the ministers praised the ministers, saying that the ministers were fair and selfless! ”

Su Youyi was secretly amused when she heard it, the prince was young in the end, and such a compliment made him unable to hold his breath.

She stood up, waved her hand, and motioned for him to come into the temple and speak.

The two sat down in the hall, and Shuya came up with tea, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been running hot all the way, and his forehead is full of sweat." The autumn tiger is still hot, so let's have a cup of cold tea. ”

The prince happily picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, "This cold leaf tea has been brewed twice, right?" The taste is just right, and the color is light, too. ”

Shuya said: "Niang Niang said that if you make it more, you will save yourself from the cold." ”

Su Youyi took a sip of the teacup, and then said: "You have just taken over the government now, and there are naturally many unfamiliar places, so you still have to listen to the ministers of the DPRK and the central government more." Especially Zhou Shoufu, he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and your father and emperor have to give him a little face when it comes to seniority, you must remember to respect these old ministers. ”

The prince nodded hurriedly, "Yes, the ministers have always been respectful to the ministers." ”

Su Youyi smiled: "That's right." But no matter how much you respect them, if you don't have real talent and real learning, the courtiers will not be convinced of you. Since you can't understand everything about the government and politics for a while, you have to make your position clear in terms of attitude. ”
