Chapter 680: New Problems
In addition to Zhang Zhicheng, Jiang Anyi and He Ziying have the best relationship. They are similar in nature and gentlemen are as simple as water. Although they are not close in relationships, when they meet, they will drink tea and papers, give guidance to the country, and get along very well. https://
When he learned that Jiang Anyi was appointed as the Young Secretary of the East Palace, He Ziying happily drank two cups. The officials of the East Palace were originally insufficient. In the first year of Jianwu, Zhou Chucun and others were demoted for favoritism and fraud. The emperor sorted out the East Palace, and the East Palace was more and more insufficient.
After the prince was regent, the East Palace had many more government affairs, and the former young minister Ji Tianming was appointed as the right supervisor of the secretary by the prince. A group of officials from the East Palace were entrusted with positions in the Third Court and six departments. He Ziying was familiar with the law. The prince intended to let him go to the Ministry of Justice to temporarily serve as the Minister of Justice to reduce the control of King An of Chu over the Ministry of Justice.
The Minister of Justice was much more powerful than Doctor Zuo Zanshan of the East Palace. If someone else had to be grateful, Dai De would take office overnight. However, He Ziying refused on the grounds that the East Palace also needed manpower, and advised the prince not to rush to appoint officials from the East Palace in the court, but instead took the opportunity to recruit talents and fill the East Palace.
Xiong Zhiren deeply agreed. Both of them believed that Jiang Anyi, who was returning home to visit relatives, was a rare talent. If he could be appointed as an official of the Eastern Palace, Jiang Anyi's reputation among the scholars would greatly increase the strength of the Eastern Palace. At this time, it was reported that the emperor was willing to appoint Jiang Anyi as the Minister of the Secretariat. Xiong Zhiren advised the prince and decided to welcome him in the suburbs of Changqiao. The operation worked. As he wished, he turned Jiang Anyi into the young Zhanshi in the Zhanshi Mansion and replaced Ji Tianming's position.
He Ziying expressed great enthusiasm for Jiang Anyi's arrival and said with a smile: "Anyi came to the East Palace to serve, just like a rainfall. At present, smoke was coming from the East Palace and there were piles of affairs. Anyi was just in need of coming to put out the fire."
"Brother Ziying, I can't help working with you. I just took the opportunity to ask you for knowledge about the law." Jiang Anyi responded happily.
The two entered the hall together. Jiang Anyi took up his new position. He Ziying happened to be on duty. The two handed over according to the rules. When Jiang Anyi took over the seal of the young secretary, He Ziying bowed and smiled: "He Ziying has met Lord Jiang. Lord Jiang, Mr. He will take you to the official party to have a look and ask for a cup of tea."
"Zheng Dian" records: The position of the prince Zhan Shi, who ruled the three temples of the East Palace, led the government orders of the ten governments, and prepared the rules and regulations, and repaired the positions. The young officials served as the second. This is equivalent to the court affairs hall, with complex affairs and heavy responsibilities. The institutions such as the left and right rituals, the left and right rituals, the official bureau, the establishment of the Ministry of Justice and the establishment of the Ministry of Justice and the establishment of the Ministry of Justice and the establishment of the Ministry of Justice and the establishment of the Ministry of Justice and the establishment of the Ministry of Justice and the establishment of the Ministry of Justice and other institutions are similar to the status of the Third Court, Six Ministry and Nine Ministers, and help the Secretary of the World to handle the government affairs of the East Palace.
The Zhan Shi Mansion is located on the left side of the Wenhua Hall, and is in charge of the affairs with the officials of the left and right Chunfang and the left and right Yude; the corresponding Wenhua Hall is located on the right side of the Sijing Bureau, Dianche Bureau, Pharmaceutical Collection Bureau, Dianchao Bureau, etc.; the Chongwen Hall is located on the side of the Flattery Palace behind the Wenhua Hall, so that the prince can read books; the Palace Gate Bureau is at the entrance of the East Palace, and the inner bureau is at the side of the prince's residence. Along the way, He Ziying pointed out the palace buildings, which gave Jiang Anyi a rough idea. There are many taboos in the palace, and even the ministers of the Eastern Palace cannot wander around at will, especially the residence of the prince in Duancheng Palace is a place where foreign ministers are confined.
There are seven rooms in the official hall of Zhan Shifu. The lobby in the middle is Jiang Anyi's office. The staff of the East Palace is insufficient, and the staff of Zhan Shifu is vacant. Therefore, the entire Zhan Shifu is the youngest secretary Jiang Anyi. In addition to Zhan Shifu and Shao Zhan Shifu, the Zhan Shifu should also have two ministers, one chief clerk, two clerks, nine clerks, and eighteen clerks. At present, there are only one prime ministers, two clerks, two clerks, seven clerks, and ten clerks, and some clerks, and some clerks. The staff should be seriously insufficient.
Zhang Zhiwei, the head of the Zhan Shifu, led the officials of the whole house to meet with the new young master Jiang. Jiang Anyi's situation was unclear, so he naturally would not slap his hands and comfort him. He left Zhang Zhiwei's words and let others do their own things.
Zhang Zhiwei is over 40 years old, with a full moon face, slightly fat, and a gentle smile on his white face. The two beards on his lips are tilted up as he speaks, just like the God of Wealth in the play. He Ziying and Zhang Zhiwei are very familiar with him and smiled, "'God of Wealth', you are yelling to be tired every day, why don't you see a little thinner?"
He turned his face to introduce to Jiang Anyi: "Anyi, this Lord Zhang is nicknamed 'God of Wealth'. He has a very good personality and is serious in his work. He depends on him for his daily affairs in the East Palace. Since the regent of the Prince, the documents of the East Palace have increased dramatically. Lord Zhang and his subordinates worked day and night to make no mistakes."
Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said, "Mr. He praised it. Master Jiang's name has long known that the Lord has become the youngest official. The Zhan Shi Mansion is very happy. Our Zhan Shi Mansion is finally backbone and can be relaxed."
He Ziying knew that after Ji Tianming was transferred to the right supervisor, there was no chief official in Zhan Shi Mansion. Zhang Zhiwei, who had the highest rank, was only a sixth rank. There were many officials in Zuochunfang, Zuoyude and other places, which were higher than Zhang Zhiwei. It was inevitable that he would not dare to speak loudly, and he had no confidence in doing things, so he would be careful.
"An Yi, I just said that there were insufficient officials in the Eastern Palace. The left and right Chunfang and the left and right Yude were all in one office. The head of the left and right Chunfang was Cheng Mingdao, the right son of the right Chunfang." He Ziying introduced to Jiang Anyi, pointing out the hidden worries in Zhang Zhiwei's words.
"Chen Daoming, could it be the Lord Cheng, the magistrate of Zuochunfang?" Jiang Anyi remembered this name. When the prince first entered the Eastern Palace, it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival. The prince held a banquet in Lihua Garden to entertain officials of the Eastern Palace. This Lord Cheng wrote a poem at the banquet and was praised by the King of Shen. For more than ten years, he became the Young Master of the Eastern Palace from the Minister of Rites. This Lord Cheng was not bad, and was promoted from the sixth rank to the fourth rank. From this, Cheng Mingdao was deeply trusted by the emperor and the prince.
He Ziying nodded and said, "No, it's right."
"Brother He, who is Yude from the East Palace?" Jiang Anyi was not familiar with the situation of the East Palace, so he would inevitably deal with officials from Baifang and Yude in the future, so he took the opportunity to ask.
He Ziying smiled and said, "The East Palace has only set up Youyude. Half a month ago, Youyude, Lord Tang Weitang went to the Ministry of Justice to serve as the Minister of Justice. The prince looked down on He and asked me to temporarily take up Youyude's position."
At the fourth rank of Youyude, He Ziying was the fifth rank of Zuozanshan, and the fifth rank of Prince was promoted to him. The prince was promoted to him and changed to the fourth rank of him. At the fourth rank of Youyude, he temporarily settled his official position under the fourth rank. From the right rank of Youyude, he was transferred to the fourth rank of Justice, but the power between the two was incomparable. Tang Wei still gained the glory of He Ziying.
Jiang Anyi was overjoyed and smiled and said, "Brother He is so unreasonable that I thought you were still Doctor Zuo Zanshan. I didn't even tell me such a good thing. In the evening, Jiang held a banquet to find Zhenlou. Brother He congratulated you, Lord Zhang, please invite your colleagues from Zhanshi's house to have two drinks together, so that they can have more interactions with each other."
He Ziying refused for a moment, and saw that Jiang Anyi insisted on it, he said, "Anyi is so polite, then He will be disrespectful."
Zhang Zhiwei also smiled and said, "Originally, the colleagues from Zhan Shifu welcomed the adults, but after a meal at Xunzhen Tower, the officials and their colleagues will drink the northwest wind this month. Master Jiang is the real God of Wealth. The officials thanked the adults for their colleagues. To be honest, the emperor said that the last time he went to Xunzhen Tower to have dinner was three years ago. I still drool when I remembered the Sizhen Seat I had eaten."
Everyone laughed and Zhang Zhiwei made a few jokes, which made Jiang Anyi feel that he was not the kind of pedantic and stubborn master, and it should be very pleasant to get along with such a person.
After laughing, Zhang Zhiwei said seriously: "Mr. Jiang, the shortage of staff in the Zhanshi Mansion needs to be solved urgently. For more than a month, colleagues of the Zhanshi Mansion have gone out early and returned late every day but still cannot complete their official duties. Last month, three ruling officials and Shuling officials took leave due to illness. Fortunately, Lord He borrowed several people to help after taking over Youyude, which reduced the pressure on the Zhanshi Mansion. However, it is not a solution for this for a long time. It is urgent to take charge of this matter."
"I wonder what the prince means?" Jiang Anyi asked. The situation he had just arrived at was unclear and it was difficult to make any decisions.
"The prince intends to choose the talented people in the East Palace to enrich the Eastern Palace. I wonder if An Yi has a good candidate?" A voice came from outside the government, and Xiong Zhiren walked in from outside with a spring breeze on his face.
Xiong Zhiren is no longer the Imperial College Office, and has been appointed as a guest of the East Palace, focusing on handling the matters of the East Palace for the prince. After receiving the news, Jiang Anyi went to the East Palace to take up his new position, and Xiong Zhiren rushed over happily.
Everyone stood up to greet him. This was the prince's father-in-law and the princess was about to give birth. Once the prince's grandson was given birth, the position of the crown prince would become more and more stable, and the status of the princess' father was also rising.
"An Yi, why don't you notify me in advance when you come to the East Palace to take up your new job? I'm so happy to welcome you in the palace." Xiong Zhiren shook Jiang Anyi's hand and said happily. Jiang Anyi's role as the young secretary of the East Palace was his planner. The person who wished to achieve the most joy was Xiong Zhiren. Xiong Zhiren sincerely believed that Jiang Anyi was a talent for the national sage. Having him to assist the prince in the East Palace was like having more arms.
Jiang Anyi had already understood the enthusiasm of this man and smiled and said, "Mr. Xiong, I hope you will take more care of him in the future."
"I didn't say that, both of them are subordinates of the Eastern Palace and don't speak the two families. If An Yi has anything to do, I will tell the prince, so I can also pass the message for you." Xiong Zhiren said with a smile: "I just heard from Lord Zhang outside that there was insufficient staff. I have already told the prince that the prince will draw some Lingshi from the six ministers and nine ministers to the Zhanshi Mansion for help. By the way, the Zhanshi Mansion still lacks a Zhanshi and a chief clerk, and Lingshi and Shulingshi are not enough. An Yi, do you have a suitable candidate to recommend it to the prince?"
Zhang Zhiwei was secretly shocked. When Ji Tianming was appointed as the young minister, he had mentioned the candidates of Zhan Shicheng and the chief clerk to the prince many times. He heard that they were persuaded by Xiong Zhiren. As soon as Jiang Anyi came to take up his new position, Xiong Zhiren gave such a great affection and really valued Lord Jiang. Zhan Shicheng is the sixth rank, and the chief clerk of Zhan Shi's mansion is from the seventh rank, Lingshi and Shulingshi are both small officials, but these people are arranged by Jiang Anyi, and the entire Zhan Shi's mansion is firmly in Jiang Anyi's hands.
Jiang Anyi was a little surprised. Seeing Xiong Zhiren's sincere words, he thought for a moment, and said, "The prince is kind, Xiong Gong is so kind that Jiang is ashamed of being a good person. Jiang is not afraid to be the case. Jiang is inconvenient to interfere in the arrangement of the official of the Zhanshu Office. However, when Jiang was in Huazhou, he had a good friend Liu Yixing. He was originally a record officer from Huazhou. He was a juren. Jiang was transferred to the capital and he intended to follow me to work in Beijing. This person is smart and wise, and good at speaking. If Xiong Gong is convenient, can he be allowed to hold an official position in the Eastern Palace?"
"Liu Yixing, from Dezhou, An Yi met him in Kunhua Mountain when he went to Wenping Prefecture to take the exam. At that time, An Yi won with him with poetry and won with the 'Birds singing along the way in the spring mountain'. Later, this son went to Huazhou to join you, and was appointed as a record officer and joined the army. It was your capable arm to help."
Obviously, Xiong Zhiren had done research on the people and things around Jiang Anyi. When Jiang Anyi mentioned Liu Yixing's name, he told his resume. Xiong Zhiren said: "The few participating soldiers who Anyi appointed in Huazhou were all big talents, and the tax increase in Huazhou was a huge contribution. Huazhou is considered a Zhongzhou, and the registered military officers are the official ranks of the eighth rank. Since you recommend it to Anyi, let him be the chief clerk in Zhanshi's house first. How about it?"
