Chapter 237: Meet the Prince

"Looks like I'm going to have to get ready, too." The Shen family, Shen Huashan muttered to himself in the study, feeling deeply under pressure, and winning the heir was a foregone conclusion, but his heart still couldn't be at peace.

It's hard to say whether assisting a fifteen-year-old prince is a blessing or a curse. Shen Huashan is not afraid of anything, but he is most afraid that the prince will be like Shen Zexi, and he will not be able to figure out some things, which will dislike the emperor.

It must be known that in all dynasties, the number of abolished princes is also quite large, if you are not careful, if the prince becomes a abolished prince, then the Shen family will be busy in vain! The crown prince has not ascended the throne for a day, and the Shen family cannot relax for a day.

"Father, the subordinate servant Zuo Liangzhe is deeply respected by the emperor, and the emperor also gave Lu Wuhou the post of the prince Zhan Shi for his death, this prince Zhan Shi ......" Shen Zejing listened to his father's words, but he was a little worried.

Before the will is given, what does the father mean by preparation? Do you want people to go to the East Palace and Zhong Cui Palace to inquire about the news?

"Jing'er, sometimes, you have to have confidence in yourself. The position of Prince Zhan is so important, how can the crown prince and Concubine Rong rest assured that this position will fall to others? The crown prince has just been canonized, there are many things that need to be learned and mastered, and someone needs to explain political affairs to him, guide the direction, and help him obtain the name to sit firmly on the throne of the prince. Shen Huashan said slowly.

This is the current situation, the Shen family has the merit of being a dragon and needs to be reciprocated, this is one of them; In recent years, he has done a lot of things for the prince and Concubine Rong, and he also has the ability, which is the second; The emperor also needs to use the whetstone of the Shen family to sharpen the crown prince more sharply, which is the third.

So. Whether it is from the emperor's point of view, or from the prince's side, Shen Huashan is the most suitable person, there is no one!

Shen Huashan had already thought of this. If it's not yourself, who else can there be?

A few days later, Emperor Changtai's will came down, and Shen Huashan, the squire of Zhongshu, was also appointed as the crown prince Zhan Shi.

The will means: "Counsel the prince." You must choose someone who is dignified. Three teachers, three young people, very dignified manners, temporary; Shen Huashan, who is a scholar in the book, is cautious and virtuous, thinking that Zhan is a matter and a waiter. ”

At the same time, Qiu Shengnian, the Shaoqing of Dali, was appointed as the crown prince Shaozhan, and Tang Duo of Shangshu Zuo Cheng and Wei Mubai of Sinong Shaoqing were appointed as the sons of Zuo. In the imperial history, Cheng Yang Jian Rui and the military department squire Zhang crossbow served as the right concubine.

The rest of the positions are concurrently held by corresponding court officials, such as the position of the crown prince, which is held by Ling Yungao, the director of the Seven Grades Examination Division.

Emperor Changtai's decree also stipulated the duties of the subordinate officials of the East Palace, such as the power and responsibility of the crown prince Zhan Shi as "the post is better than the Shang Shu Ling, the leading general, and the general leader of the East Palace";

For example, the duty of the concubines around Chunfang is "all the things that the prince asks the emperor to play and read, and he will support it";

Another example is the gift of the East Palace's pilgrimage and resignation. "Where the courtiers congratulate the court, enter the note into the spring, and enter the prince, they will introduce and raise the case", etc., and the rest of the specific responsibilities are not considered.

As soon as the configuration of the subordinate officials of the East Palace came out, except for Wei Jingyao and other old ministers, the rest of the court officials discussed a lot, and this result was somewhat unexpected to them.

The Shen family and Concubine Rong are on good terms, this is something that many court officials know, but they didn't expect Emperor Changtai to be so kind to the Shen family.

Originally, they thought that Zuo Liangzhe, the servant of his subordinate, would serve as the crown prince Zhan Shi, because he was the most favored by Emperor Changtai. Moreover, Shen Huashan did not show interest in the position of Prince Zhan Shi.

I didn't expect that in the end he was the crown prince Zhan Shi, the so-called non-fight is fighting, the court officials thought to themselves, and they learned another lesson.

Zuo Liangzhe, the servant of the door, did not say anything about this result on the surface, but he was quite angry in his heart, he and Shen Huashan were on par with their seniority and family background, why could Shen Huashan be the crown prince Zhan Shi?

The Shen family and Concubine Rong are good friends. This Shen Huashan just relies on women's nepotism to get on top! Zuo Liangzhe thought resentfully. It was because of this incident that Zuo Liangzhe began to have a grudge against Shen Huashan, and vowed to win Shen Huashan in the future.

It's the end of the first month. The officials and responsibilities of the subordinate officials of the East Palace are all clear. Shen Huashan, the crown prince Zhan, Qiu Shengnian, the young Zhan minister, and Tang Duo, the son of the left concubine, and other subordinate officials of the East Palace, took up the post of the prince Zhan Shifu in early February.

Before officials such as Shen Huashan and Qiu Shengnian took office, Emperor Changtai also specially ordered them to come to Zichen Hall to give lectures.

As an emperor and a father, he has high hopes for the officials of the Zhan Mansion, hoping that the crown prince, under their teaching, guidance, and assistance, can be familiar with political affairs, observe the court situation, and become a wise monarch in the future.

When the main subordinates of the Prince Zhan Mansion gathered in the Zichen Palace, Emperor Changtai began to speak, and this speech was both an expectation and a beating.

Emperor Changtai first moved out of Taizu Shangguan Fu and said the original intention of equipping the Prince Zhan Shifu, "Taizu tasted and said: 'The ancients did not prepare their officials, but the virtuous were used. I think that the courtiers are talented and virtuous, and they are also the officials of the East Palace, it is not useless, and I am worried that the courtiers and the officials of the East Palace are incompetent, so they become suspicious, or they have treacherous plots, and they are separated from the flesh and blood, and the disaster is not fine. If Jiang Chong's matter can be a clear example. I have now enacted legislation to make the provincial governor of Taiwan and the post of Zanfu of the East Palace, father and son are one, the monarch and the minister are united, and there is almost no mutual trouble', which is to open the Zhan Mansion to lead the affairs of the Prince's Mansion. ”

Then he talked about the current situation of the crown prince Zhan Shifu: "All of you Aiqing are virtuous and dignified people, and they have also benefited one party in politics. The prince is young, knowing that the body is very immature, I entrust the prince to the prince, and hope that the secretary will work together, and he will work together to serve the military and the country, all of which make the prince enlightened, and I am also comforted. ”

Shen Huashan and other officials naturally respectfully serve the order, saying that they will live up to the emperor's grace, etc., and they are also said to be the prince's talents, and they must be virtuous and virtuous, and the ministers are also subordinate officials of the East Palace, which is the luck of the ministers.

After listening to the words of Shen Huashan and other officials, Emperor Changtai nodded, he was still very satisfied with the configuration of the subordinate officials of the East Palace.

Needless to say, Shen Huashan is his close minister, and he has always been the greatest support of the prince, of course, he is also the whetstone he chooses, and he has to rely on him to sharpen the prince's knife;

Shao Zhan Shi Qiu Shengnian is shrewd and capable, flexible and flexible, and has a great hand in sentencing people out of prison;

Zuo concubine Tang Duo, Wei Mubai and other officials are also people with a lot of experience, and the prince has their help, and he will definitely become a generation of Ming monarchs one day.

These officials were chosen for the crown prince. It's also my father's hard work.

Emperor Changtai thought so, and thought of the prince who was waiting outside the Zichen Hall at the moment, and thought of introducing the subordinate officials of the East Palace to the prince, so he said: "Prince Xuan enters the palace." ”

He is planning to formally introduce the acquaintance of the two parties, which shows the importance he attaches to the officials of the Prince Zhan Shifu. Because of his illness and weakness, Prince De did not configure the Zhan Mansion to introduce the subordinate officials of the East Palace to the prince, which was also the first experience of Emperor Changtai.

This is the first time Shen Huashan has seen the crown prince as the crown prince Zhan Shi. In fact, this was the fourth time he had seen the crown prince. Except for the time when he was canonized as the crown prince, this was the third time he saw the prince.

Although the Shen family has always done a lot of things secretly for the crown prince, it is mainly through the association between Shen Ning and Concubine Rong. Because the prince is young, he has been living in the prince's office for a long time and has not participated in political affairs, so he has never had direct and specific contact with the prince, and even met the prince only a few times.

This time we officially met. He only then had a clear impression of the crown prince. The crown prince has a good appearance, combining the advantages of Emperor Changtai and Concubine Rong, and looks very similar to Emperor Changtai.

From the flying eyebrows and the slight smile on the corner of his mouth, it shows that he is in a very good mood at the moment, but he is trying his best to suppress his emotions.

In general, under the high spirits, there is the prince's self-support and prudence. Come to think of it. Under one person, above ten thousand, and only sixteen years old, this kind of performance is the most suitable for his identity and age.

I saw the prince walk straight in front of Emperor Changtai, saluted respectfully, and said, "The son of the emperor asks for peace to his father." He was in the midst of a voice change, and his voice was slightly hoarse and low.

After listening to Emperor Changtai say that he was exempt, he stood aside and waited for instructions, and it seemed that he was very obedient and well-behaved.

Under the introduction of Emperor Changtai. The prince met these subordinate officials of the East Palace one by one, and received the salute of these subordinate officials, and when he received the ceremony, the prince was also quite kind.

Although he is young, he is a king, and Shen Huashan and others are all subordinate officials of the East Palace, and they are doing things for him, and they are his subordinates. The difference between monarchs and ministers is based on this reason.

"Stand down, everyone." After the ministers saluted the prince, Emperor Changtai waved his hand and said, asking Shen Huashan and Qiu Shengnian and others to leave the Zichen Palace.

The greetings have been said. The beating has also been said, and this is the end of the meeting. He also had something to say to the crown prince that these officials could naturally step down.

Emperor Changtai must have left the prince with the question of the subordinate officials of the East Palace, and perhaps also to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each subordinate official for the prince, these are not Shen Huashan's concerns, what he thinks about is the matter of serving in the prince's Zhan Mansion.

The Prince Zhan Shifu is responsible for teaching, leading, and assisting the prince, and the responsibility is not insignificant, and the matter is not complicated, and it is not a simple matter to take on a great responsibility in these complicated affairs!

Concurrently serving as the position of the crown prince Zhan Shifu is extremely glorious and heavy, and the matters related to the prince are all major affairs of the country, and if you are not careful, you will lose your official position.

Before taking office as the crown prince Zhan Shi, Shen Huashan had already thought of the main line of his appointment, that is, to help the prince sit firmly on the throne of the prince, until the prince ascended to the throne, all the work of the Zhan Mansion should be done around this main line!

Therefore, before officially taking office, Shen Huashan summoned the officials of the Crown Prince Zhan Shifu and mentioned this implicitly.

Although they didn't say it explicitly, Qiu Shengnian and Tang Duo were all smart people, so they naturally understood what Shen Huashan meant. They strongly agree with this, because if the crown prince fails to sit in this position, they will have no benefit at all if they serve as subordinate officials of the East Palace!

Meeting with the prince, from a simple impression, the prince is still good, although he is high-spirited, but he is not arrogant, and it is not easy to do this.

After meeting the crown prince, Shen Huashan was also quite confident in the work of Zhan Shifu.

But when Shen Ning, Shen Yule, Gu Wenlan and others said their impressions of the prince, and then summed up the prince's character, his heart became cold.
