Chapter 192 The Four Auxiliaries

The emperor's will, that is, the edict of the throne, can be said to be the most important document in the court. After reading this kind of document, it will be sealed and placed in the Tianlu Pavilion in the palace to seal it and keep it. Without special circumstances, it will never be taken out.

The edicts of the emperors who passed down the throne in all dynasties were sealed in the Tianlu Pavilion.

Therefore, all Li Xin could see was this copy.

Even if it is a copy, no one is qualified to copy it. Only ministers who are qualified to see the will are qualified to copy it.

Li Xin had no expression on his face and slowly unfolded after taking the document.

The format of the throne edict is generally similar. The beginning is nothing more than "I am not very kind and fortunate to inherit the throne". Then, when writing about how to be trembling and how to love my job and be dedicated during my reign, these two parts are similar.

The most important thing is the final part.

According to the rules of the Great Jin Dynasty, the new king took power at the age of sixteen, but he had to set up auxiliary ministers to temporarily take charge of political affairs.

When Li Xin looked at the previous content, he swept through it and quickly saw the most critical part.

"The eldest son of the emperor, Ji Yan, has a profound virtue and is deeply impressed by me, and he will ascend the throne..."

"However, the prince was young and could not control the court. He chose four assistant ministers to assist the emperor and reconcile the people's livelihood."

Seeing this, the eyes of Marquis Jing'an changed slightly.

The position of the assistant minister represents great authority. The crown prince is thirteen years old this year, and in ten days, he will be fourteen years old. In other words, the assistant minister can control the court for at least two years. In these two years, as long as the four assistant ministers agree, they can act on the king's affairs!

If Li Xin can get this position, then no matter what he wants to do in the next two years, there will be no obstacles.

Legal, I took advantage.

He looked down.

"Register the Left Pushe Shen Kuan, and the Central Secretary Ling Gongyang Shu..."

"The left governor of the Grand Governor's Office, Ji Lin, and the censor Yan Shouzhuo, are the new monarch and ministers. I hope you can help the court and help the world..."

Next, there is a gorgeous and uncommon parallel prose.

To be honest, Li Xin couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he saw that the names of these four people were not in his own name, but was not surprised.

If there was no Southwest incident before, and the emperor passed away, Li Xin should have been able to get the position of assistant minister, but there had been conflicts before, and the southwest threatened the court. Naturally, the emperor could not pretend to be the imperial power to Li Xin anymore. After all, this is no different from throwing a sharp knife and a thief.

And these four assistant ministers are still very meaningful.

No need to say much about the left prime minister Shen Kuan. Now he is in charge of the Shangshu, and most of the government affairs of the court have to pass through him. In any case, the position of this auxiliary minister cannot be avoided. As for the Zhongshu Ling Gongyang Shu, he was the prime minister who was appointed as prime minister in the Chengde Dynasty. There is no problem giving him one of the four auxiliary ministers.

The other two are even simpler. The position of the left governor of the Grand Governor's Office has always been exclusive to the Ji family. The former left governor Ji Ping was unable to continue to control the Grand Governor's Office because he was too old to do so. Therefore, the new left governor of the Grand Governor's Office fell on the head of this Duke of Wei, Ji Lin.

The Duke of the Different Family in the Great Jin Dynasty was only the Ye family of Duke Chen’s Mansion, but the Duke of the Ji family was not so rare. After all, he was the King of Zhao and King Qi. Even if he had to reduce his title from generation to generation, he would have to lose two generations before he could fall into the Duke.

Another censor, Yan Shouzhu, was also an old minister of Chengde Dynasty.

He once served as the Minister of Dali Temple in Dali Temple, and was one of the nine ministers in the court. Everyone thought that his official career had stopped being the Minister of Dali Temple, but over the years, Emperor Taikang transferred him to the Censorate and made him the position of Supervisor Censor.

The four auxiliary ministers, two of the Shangshutai, were responsible for government affairs, one of the Censorate, was responsible for supervising officials, and the Grand Governor's Office, which was responsible for dispatching troops, was naturally responsible for the military. In this way, a nearly perfect check and balance of power was completed.

The will left by Emperor Taikang must have been carefully considered for a long time.

Thinking of this, Li Xin continued to read.

After a long paragraph of parallel prose, a line of words appeared in Li Xin's eyes.

"The country faces southwest, and there are traitors in the South Ping Nan Army that have not yet been cleared, and there are also surviving Zhou corruption. I have worked hard for ten years but failed to achieve success..."

"There are hidden dangers in the north and south, and it is very easy to start another war."

"If there is any war, the general of the Imperial Army's Left Camp, the Prince's Taibao Li Xin, the general of the Imperial Army's Right Camp, and the Zhongyong Hou Jingde can participate in the military..."

Seeing this, Li Xin sighed deeply.

The entire will is hundreds of words, and only one sentence is mentioned when he is mentioned.

The so-called military officer is that once the court fights with other forces, he is not just a general who leads troops, but can enter the Shangshutai and discuss with these assistant ministers and prime ministers whether to fight or not, and how to fight.

Moreover, he can only "confer to knowledge", which means he can only discuss with these people and cannot make decisions directly.

Usually, he did not even have the power to "speak to the knowledge".

Even so, the emperor was still worried about Li Xin and wrote Hou Jingde in the imperial edict.

In fact, Hou Jingde should not have appeared in this will. The person arranged by the emperor was actually General Pei Jin. However, Pei Jin annoyed the emperor because of his defeat in the southwest and lost the imperial guards' errands, and this name fell on Hou Jingde.

He was forced to "add" in.

Seeing this, Li Xin closed the document and handed it back to Shen Kuan.

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister Shen and was awarded the position of auxiliary minister."

Shen Kuan shook his head silently and sighed: "Marty Li has ruined me, where can I come from? The Emperor Daxing is in his prime and suddenly went there like this. The huge burden in the court was pressing on the Shangshutai. I was a mediocre person and just luckily entered the Shangshutai. I don't know if I can survive the past two years and hand over the country to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Now the crown prince has not officially ascended the throne, so he is still the crown prince. After three days, he will become the serious emperor.

Li Xin looked back at the prince and lowered his head slightly: "In this way, I won't disturb Shen Xiang's busyness. If Shen Xiang has any places where Jing'an Marquis Mansion needs to be busy, you can come to the Marquis Mansion to find me."

Shen Kuan bowed and said, "Hello Marquis Li, you must trouble Mr. Li if you have any problems."

After Li Xin said goodbye to him, he turned around and looked around. Finally, he saw Xiao Zheng's shadow. He stepped beside Xiao Zheng and asked in a deep voice: "Eunuch Xiao, where is the eldest princess?"

Xiao Zheng has not been sleeping for several days. At this moment, he is busy all over. After hearing Li Xin's words, he stopped his errands and quickly turned around and bowed to Li Xin and said, "Go back to the Marquis, Your Highness is still in Weiyang Palace in the morning. You should accompany the Empress Dowager to Kunde Palace to rest."

Li Xin nodded slowly.

"Then Eunuch Xiao, you're busy, I'll go find the eldest princess."

"Hello, please be polite."

To go to Kunde Palace, you need to leave Weiyang Palace. Li Xin walked through the crowd with his hands and walked towards the door of Weiyang Palace.

At this time, several officials from the Ministry of Rites were discussing the posthumous title of the emperor.

When Li Xin passed by them, he heard the word "posthumous title", so he deliberately slowed down.

After listening for a while, he vaguely heard the word "Scenery".
