Chapter 20: Take care of the dragon's body!
After chatting with these scholars, Liang Yi had a general understanding of them.
Among them, the leader is the champion of Long An for 16 years, and the remaining achievements of the three years in the Ministry of Officials.
In fact, according to the regulations, after the candidate wins the champion, he can choose a few large eastern counties to be the county commander.
However, because Yu Ji was too young and only twenty-four years old, Emperor Zhou asked him to stay in the ministry to watch the government and cultivate it by his side.
The second is this year's Xinke Tanhua, Zhao Rushou, who has not yet arranged a place to go, is twenty-nine years old this year.
The rest were all reserve officials on the roster of officials.
Becoming a reserve official does not mean that their ability is lower than that of the current one, but they cannot get through the relationship, and they can only go around in the list of reserve officials.
This is good news for Liang Yi.
Such officials are generally from poor families, and even if they pass the examination, they will not have a chance to get ahead.
Don't think that you will be rich if you pass the Jinshi examination.
If you don't get into the top three and enter the emperor's eyes, it is also the fate of going to the Hanlin Academy to suffer.
Everyone there is a jinshi, and it is not uncommon.
The jinshi in the capital are not as useful as the local lifters.
"Do you know what Zhan Shifu is?"
Liang Yi glanced at the scholar in front of him and asked word by word.
The young and vigorous Yu Ji stood up and replied:
"Zhan Shifu, in charge of the internal affairs of the East Palace, the prince's living and education are in charge of the Zhan Shifu, and at the same time, he will discuss the affairs of the court with the prince, and revise the records of the East Palace, as well as ......"
Yu Ji didn't dare to continue, his momentum also withered, and he planned to sit down.
Liang Yi raised his eyebrows, glanced at him with slanted eyes, and said in a cold voice:
"Go on!"
"And when the emperor can't handle government affairs, the Zhan Mansion assists the prince in supervising the country, and the government affairs of the court and China must be handled by the Zhan Shifu, if the emperor dies......"
Yu Ji paused, and continued under Liang Yi's forced gaze:
"If the emperor dies, the Zhan Mansion is responsible for quickly assisting the new emperor to ascend the throne and ensure that there is no problem with the replacement of the throne!"
There was a dead silence in the outer hall of the East Palace.
Yu Ji is not wrong, these are indeed the functions and powers of the Zhan Shifu.
However, this is the Zhan Mansion of the previous dynasty.
As I said before, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not set up the Zhan Mansion, and everyone didn't know what the newly established Zhan Mansion had to do with the previous dynasty, and whether the functions and powers were the same.
And there is also a hidden function in the Zhan Mansion that Yu Ji did not say.
That is, when the prince rebelled in the previous dynasty, the Zhan Mansion in the East Palace would often be expanded immediately, and if the prince's rebellion was successful, the officials of the Zhan Mansion would be converted into the new court on the spot.
Waving his hand to let Yu Ji sit down, Liang Yi slowly stood up.
"I'm the Prince! Crown prince! The future emperor! If you enter my Zhan Mansion, then you will definitely have a place in the temple in the future! β
Yu Ji and the others were shocked.
Although Liang Yi's words are very rebellious, this is true.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeeds in ascending the throne in the future, then they will be from the dragon's work.
In the future, wealth, status, and power will be at your fingertips.
This is also the reason why even though the emperor clearly stated that ministers were not allowed to participate in the heir dispute, there were still so many ministers who succeeded each other.
It's too good value for money.
"But!"
Liang Yi changed his words and stared coldly at the scholars.
"In my case, loyalty is not absolute is absolute disloyalty! It is not allowed to have any delusions, only to advance and retreat together, live and die together! β
Yu Ji and others, I look at you, you look at me.
The succession is the most brutal of all party struggles, and the loser is either killed or imprisoned, never to come out.
And the team of the losers who won the heir, in most cases, did not stay and were all beheaded.
Even if you don't kill someone, it will be difficult to survive in the future.
Because you have offended those in power.
Although I know that the person above has a whim one day and wants to settle down.
So I don't dare to have anything to do with you.
Looking at Yu Ji and the others who were thinking, Liang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
If you don't want to say yes, Liang Yi won't dare to use such a person.
First, this kind of person does things without considering the consequences, and it is difficult for this kind of person to achieve great things;
Second, this kind of person is an opportunist, easy to buy, and harmful to the team;
Third, if it's an undercover agent sent by someone, it's in vain.
"Think about it, I won't stop you if you want to go."
After waiting for a few people to have a cup of tea, the first thing to think about was Yu Ji.
I saw him take a step, get down on one knee, and clench his hands into fists.
"Weichen is willing to go to the soup for His Royal Highness the Prince, and his liver and brain are smeared!"
Liang Yi nodded with satisfaction.
This was followed by Zhao Rushou, followed by the third and fourth...... The last one.
In the outer hall of the East Palace, twelve scholars lined up and knelt down on one knee, which was quite spectacular.
Liang Yi stepped down from the high platform and helped these scholars up one by one.
"Ladies and gentlemen! I, Liang Yi, swear here! Qing does not abandon you, you do not live up to you! β
Twelve men also took an oath of power.
"If you don't abandon your ministers, your ministers will repay you!"
Chaoyang Palace, inside the side hall.
On Wednesday, only the three dukes and the emperor are here today.
"So, you introduced the Duan family and the Chen family's boys to him?"
Emperor Zhou reclined on the throne and flipped through the folds in his hand.
Except for some clichΓ© questions, there are no new major events, and his headache has not flare-up, so he is in a good mood at this time.
And Ling Ziqi, who was sitting at the beginning of the next head, had already told the emperor what the prince had asked him for yesterday.
Seeing Emperor Zhou's face as usual, Ling Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought, since the crown prince has come to my mansion, I can't refuse, and it just so happened that General Chen, the governor of the right army, and General Duan, the commander of the 3,000 battalions, came to visit me, so I recommended it."
Then he immediately explained.
"But I'm saying that if they want to, and if the two kids don't want to go, that's not okay."
Emperor Zhou nodded, and after a while, he said slowly:
"Ling Aiqing~"
"The minister is here."
"You've gotten sleek."
"This ...... The minister is ashamed~"
"If it was placed in the past, the person you fancied would have pushed me in front of me for anything, and said a lot of things to persuade me to use him."
"This ......"
Ling Ziqi was speechless for a while.
Emperor Zhou stood up with a sigh and came down from the high platform.
"Whether it's Duan Ming or Chen Wu, they were all pushed out of the ranks by you, why didn't you dare when you got to the prince?"
Ling Ziqi didn't answer, just buried his head lower.
Emperor Zhou, who felt that he was not interested, looked gloomy.
Kicked him when he passed by Ling Ziqi.
Then looked at Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui and sighed:
"Load! Just know the outfit! It's been pretending for half a lifetime, and I'm still pretending! β
The two who were ordered also knelt down with Ling Ziqi.
Emperor Zhou looked at the three people lying on the ground and sighed.
"I'm dying."
The pupils of the three narrowed.
"The Holy One must take care of the dragon's body!"
