Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 63 The Prince's Secret
The use of the term "big scholar" as an official position began in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was only used as a title and had no actual power, and the same was true in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated Zhongshu Province in the 13th year of Hongwu, resulting in the accumulation of government affairs across the country. No matter how diligent Zhu Yuanzhang was in government affairs, it was quite difficult.

"The hundred Liao have slept and I have not slept, and the hundred Liao have risen and I have risen first.

It is not as good as the sufficient Weng in the south of the Yangtze River, who is still surrounded by a day high. "

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's emotion about his daily life.

Going to bed later than everyone else, waking up earlier than everyone else, not as good as a rich man in the south of the Yangtze River.

You know, Zhu Yuanzhang was 56 years old at this time.

An old man who is over fifty years old sleeps only two or three hours a day, and has to sleep three times a day, who can afford it.

In this context, in the 15th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang re-appointed the position of a bachelor, acting as his private secretary to read the book on his behalf, and then marked out some important contents in the memorial book so that he could directly approve it.

So there are Huagaidian University Bachelor, Wenyuan Pavilion University Bachelor, etc. As for this Dongge University Bachelor, it belongs to the crown prince's official, and it can be regarded as Zhu Biao's secretary.

Chen Yunfu now has two university titles on his head, the first one is the Dongge University Bachelor, which is a false title, and the second is the Zuochunfang University Bachelor, which is a real job and is also a regular five-rank.

Zuochunfang sounds like a Goulan place, but it is actually a serious authority. Zuochunfang and Youchunfang will be merged in Hongwu 22, and it is the familiar Zhanshifu.

The nature of Zuo Chunfang's work is similar to that of the East Palace Office.

Therefore, Chen Yunfu, a bachelor of Dongge University and a bachelor of Zuochunfang University, is equivalent to the secretary-general and director of the general office of Prince Zhu Biao.

He not only has to accompany Zhu Biao to review the memorial, but also handles all the complicated affairs of the East Palace.

The personal secret of the leader.

After understanding the nature of these jobs, Chen Yunfu heaved a sigh of relief.

As a service leader, I have done this before, so I am not unfamiliar.

Perhaps the only thing that made Chen Yunfu a little uncomfortable was that after he took office in Dongge, everyone called him a bachelor.

"I thought I could call the elder Ge."

He had watched too many TV dramas in the Ming Dynasty, and thought that he could call him an elder if he became a bachelor, but he never thought about where the cabinet came from these days.

"Great scholar, the Six Departments and Five Temples are now empty, and the daily backlog of memorials accumulated by the Secretary of the General Administration is accumulated. Your Majesty ordered that the memorials from all provinces be sent directly to the imperial court, and the memorials originally belonging to the Six Departments and Five Temples were sent to the East Pavilion."

"Well, about how many."

The person who introduced the situation to Chen Yunfu was not a stranger, but Zhu Biao's former eunuch Jixiang.

The latter led Chen Yunfu to walk around the East Pavilion, and said as he walked, "There are probably more than 180 memorials and more than 370 plans."

Chen Yunfu's face froze.

"How many days is this?"

"one day."

Jixiang suppressed a smile and said, "The fifth temple is better, but the sixth department is in charge of our whole Daming, so naturally there are too many things."

"It's a joy to kill, but I don't believe you're not tired now."

Chen Yunfu slandered, this is all right, the entire central court will be killed by you, and you two will handle the affairs of the world alone, and you will be exhausted to death.

Thinking about it jokingly, Chen Yunfu's heart skipped a beat again.

In other words, could Zhu Biao be so exhausted?
The prince's health has been bad, and everyone inside and outside the court is almost aware of it. Because of his own reasons, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped Zhu Biao's administration for a year and even made regular medical examinations. Finally, he is much better, but now because of An empty seal case and Guo Huan case caused Zhu Biao to be anxious and angry, not to mention vomiting blood, and even had a high fever.

Now he is still lying at home with a sick body, and he has to deal with hundreds of memorials and plans every day, no wonder he died young.

Anyway, Chen Yunfu didn't believe the so-called historical saying that Zhu Biao went to Xi'an for an inspection and died of a cold on the way back.

Who will believe it?A man in his prime, who is still the prince of the country, is accompanied by dozens of imperial physicians, it is not pure nonsense that he can be killed by a cold.

After visiting the East Pavilion, Chen Yunfu was about to leave to visit Zhu Biao's mansion to visit his future boss, when he bumped into an acquaintance.

Be too vegetarian.

He is not staying at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, what is he doing in the East Pavilion?
The Metropolitan Procuratorate seems to be outside the scope of the Prince's management right now.

Ru Taisu was also taken aback when she saw Chen Yunfu.

"Why are you here?"

"Why is Ru Yushi here?"

The two spoke almost at the same time, and then laughed.

Chen Yunfu cupped his hands and said: "Thanks to the emperor's kindness, I have been promoted to be a Bachelor of Guandong Pavilion and a Bachelor of Zuo Chunfang University. Today I am here to be on duty."

The smile on Ru Taisu's face froze.

15 years old, bachelor?
If you want to be promoted according to your rate, the old man has been a living dog for more than 50 years.

Pressing emotion, Ru Taisu also arched his hands in return: "I am also honored by the emperor's favor, and promoted to Minister of the Household Department. Today I came to report to the Crown Prince about the situation of the Household Department."

Old guy, you're not slow to rise!
You have to thank the Guo Huan case from the Youqian Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to directly transfer to the Minister of the Household Department across the system!

Chen Yunfu felt that he would be promoted from the eighth rank to the fifth rank, but it turned out that Ru Taisu directly jumped from the fourth rank to the second rank.

It seems that it doesn't fly as fast as him, but its nature is simply incomparable.

From the sixth-ranked deputy in the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ru Taisu has just picked it up.

But then Chen Yunfu was happy again.

So what about the Hubu Shangshu? According to Zhu Yuanzhang’s edict, the six departments and five temples are now assigned to Zhu Biao. Ru Taisu, the Hubu Shangshu, has to come to the East Pavilion to report on work every day, and our Comrade Chen Yunfu, cough cough.

I am not talented, the secretary-general of the prince and the director of the general office.

So you have to report to me first.

It's not that Chen Yunfu is putting on airs, but the court's regulations are such a regulation.

"The prince has been ill recently, and he is still recuperating in the mansion. If there is anything in Rubutang, please tell the subordinate officials first, and the subordinate officials will immediately forward it to His Royal Highness the prince."

Ru Taisu nodded, and he didn't object, and he had nothing to object to, as it should have nothing to say in accordance with the regulations.

"Then, Grand Scholar please."

"No, no, please invite Ru Butang first."

Chen Yunfu stepped aside and asked Ru Taisu to sit first, and then he moved a chair to sit opposite Ru Taisu, and greeted the Jin Yiwei who was on duty in the East Pavilion, and moved two desks over, and the two were considered to be facing each other And sit.

Chen Yunfu looked at the thick and dozens of playbooks in Ru Taisu's arms, swallowed, and asked for paper and pens.

"Let's get started."

After finishing speaking, he spread out the test book and picked up a pen, waiting eagerly for Ru Taisu.

This reaction can't be dealt with by the latter, what kind of operation is this, why do you make it look like a prisoner is being interrogated in a prison.

"Ru Butang said, Xiaguanji."

It was only then that Ru Taisu realized that this was something new.

In the past, the big guys would just sit and discuss politics, saying that it was almost time to send these memorabilia to the prince for review and approval. Are you going to memorize it again?
Isn't this one more way to take off your pants and fart?

Freshness is freshness, Ru Taisu still packs up his mood, and reports the general situation at the beginning of his new account department.

A household minister reported to Chen Yunfu.

It feels, um, cool.
