fake prince

Chapter 642

Cui Zhaoquan glanced at it, suddenly smiled, and said, "Ministers of the country, Cui has a business, I wonder if you can do it?"

Yo, it turned out to be Cui Zhaoquan, what is he planning to do?

Do business?Do business do the cabinet come?

Several elders raised their heads and looked at Cui Zhaoquan.

However, although they complained in their hearts, they also knew that Cui Zhaoquan, Minister of the Ministry of War, was also an elder of the cabinet. How could he really summon the adults of the cabinet to do business? I'm afraid this business is not that business.

Seeing everyone's surprise, they all looked at him, Ge Lao Xie Zhi still smiled: "Old Cui, you are sitting in the cabinet for doing business, it's time to fight!"

Xie Zhi, a 27-year-old Jinshi, has successively served as a scholar, editor, lecturer, and censor of the Imperial Academy. Now he is a scholar of Huagaidian University and a political adviser.

"I don't know what kind of business is it that can make Lord Cui's heart flutter?" Some people ridiculed that this person is He Yuduan. However, he won the imperial examination at the age of 26 and became a Jinshi at the age of 30. Now he is a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he is graced to work in the cabinet.

After Cui Zhaoquan dropped that sentence, he just smiled and said nothing at this time, but slowly unfolded the picture in his hand, covering the seal, seeing a few colleagues who were puzzled at first, and slowly approached, gradually showing surprise, Then he said: "Please take a closer look, what about this painting? What about this poem? What about this word?"

Everyone who can be a court elder is a person who knows the goods. Among them, Qian Wei said softly:

"Shuixiu Mountain has green eyebrows far away, and when I return, I lean against the small pavilion window."

"The spring breeze doesn't understand the rain in the south of the Yangtze River, laughing at the rain alley and looking for guests to taste."

Looking at the painting again, I couldn't tell which master painted it.

With their identities, they are all from Jinshi background, most of them have a collection of books and collections for generations, and they have tasted everyone's calligraphy and paintings. This painting is so good, and the poems are especially well matched. It's exceptionally good, but it's hard to tell which one made it, so I'm naturally more curious.

Qian Wei is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, with a great deal of thought and a lot of disciples, so he couldn't help frowning: "It's strange, I can't tell which master's work this is."

"Such skill is by no means unknown. I don't know where Master Cui got this painting from?"

"Could it be a pre-Qin work?"

"No, it looks like a new work."

Zhao Xu is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, a scholar of the Huagaidian University, who knows the scriptures and banquets, and is deeply trusted by the emperor, but he is the chief assistant. He read the poem on the painting over and over again, and suddenly he thought of the author of the painting from the poem. : "Could it be done on behalf of the Duke?"

As soon as these words came out, the elders immediately fell silent.

Cui Zhaoquan was satisfied with what he saw, and only then did he tell Su Ziji what he had said before, and also relayed it to several elders, before asking: "Do you want to do this business?"

Imperial City

"My lord, look, if you go along this road, you will find the Sansi Yamen in front of you."

"Going forward is the Political Affairs Hall, which is on the left side of the Sansi Yamen."

The eunuch introduced by Su Ziji is not a head eunuch like Eunuch Zhao, but a eunuch with a sixth-rank official robe. You must know that according to the rules set by the Taizu, a head eunuch like Eunuch Zhao can only be up to four. Rank [-] already has face in the palace, not to mention serving at the side of the emperor, even if the ministers see him, they should give him a good face.

Su Ziji didn't have any opinion on eunuchs, as long as it wasn't the nine-thousand-year-old who seized power, in Su Ziji's eyes, they were nothing more than special officials.

And since he wants to become a great treasure in the future, he will use such people sooner or later, and his attitude has been corrected, as long as they are no different from officials.

Use female officers?

In fact, Su Ziji originally thought so, but after practice in the workplace, he no longer thought so.

He listened to the eunuch's explanation along the way, and toured around the imperial city. Su Ziji was satisfied with what he heard, and even specially praised: "Your introduction is very good."

The eunuch was only modest with a smile.

After introducing all the office locations of the yamen in the outer palace, the eunuch took Su Ziji back again, this time to the destination of Su Ziji's trip - the cabinet.

"My lord, the yamen in the imperial city will provide a meal at noon. There is no need for servants to deliver it. The daily meal is provided by the imperial dining room. It is a little earlier than the harem. When eating, it is necessary to keep the meal." It's hot."

"Servants are not allowed to enter. If there is an urgent matter, you can pass it through the guards."

Su Ziji nodded, understanding, this is the secrecy mechanism, the center of the court, so naturally it cannot be arbitrary.

"Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, everything you need, if there is anything missing, tell the officials serving in the cabinet, and someone will tell the servants, and the servants will immediately pick up the things from the warehouse in the imperial city and send them over, so there will be no delay. grown-ups."

While talking, he arrived in front of a row of houses. Su Ziji looked at the evergreen tree that couldn't be named, and then looked at the red walls and green tiles behind him. He felt that this place might be more comfortable than this winter in summer. point.

"My lord, you just go in. If you go any further, slaves and maidservants will not be able to go." The eunuch walked all the way to the door, and stopped a few steps away from the door, afraid that Su Ziji would be offended, so he Pointing to the stone tablet not far away, he explained.

Su Ziji looked over and found a stone tablet at the door of the cabinet, engraved with a line of words: Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Day: All empresses, concubines, eunuchs, etc., who enter the military aircraft without permission, will be killed!

The fact that eunuchs are not allowed to enter the cabinet is not only not allowed to enter the cabinet, but also means that they are not allowed to participate in politics. It seems that Zheng Taizu has learned the experience of the demise of the previous dynasty and gave a warning to future generations.

Feeling emotional in his heart, Su Ziji smiled and said to the eunuch, "Thank you for sending me here."

The eunuch hurriedly said he didn't dare.

Su Ziji opened the thick curtain by himself and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw Cui Zhaoquan who was already sitting and doing something inside. He probably heard the conversation at the door, and he was looking up at this time, and secretly looked at Su Ziji. nodded.

"It seems that this matter has been done." After receiving the hint, Su Ziji was overjoyed, and saw that except Cui Zhaoquan, the remaining four elders also stood up and saluted Su Ziji, but only made a bow.

"My minister, Zhao Xulin, has met Duke Dai."

"My minister, Xie Zhi, has met Duke Dai."

"My minister, He Yuduan, has met Duke Dai."

"Chen Qianwei has met Duke Dai."

Su Ziji also bowed back, and the system is similar. The Duke of the state is basically equal to the cabinet minister, but Su Ziji is the emperor's grandson, or a very close emperor's grandson, which has a bit of a "lord". , It's the old man who salutes first.

Because they are all bowing, the atmosphere is not as tense as when the kings came to the cabinet to observe politics, and it is more peaceful.

Su Ziji made a bow, and said more politely: "My lords, I am here to study in the cabinet. If there is anything wrong, please correct me."

As he spoke, he bowed to several old elders.

Because I said it in advance, I asked for advice on a ticket a day, and with some teacher-student affection, the elders naturally accepted it calmly.

"It's nothing more than a few perfunctory words."
