Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 97
The Tongzheng Envoy's Yamen is located on West Chang'an Street, occupying a huge area, much larger than the Metropolitan Procuratorate where Chen Yunfu worked before.

This is also understandable.

There are only a few officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there are more than 200 people at full count, but there are thousands of officials and documents in the General Administration.

"Scholar, this is only [-]% of the number of our General Political Department."

Zuo Tongzheng Ding Ji led a dozen officials from the Tongzheng Envoy to accompany Chen Yunfu to get acquainted with the Tongzheng Envoy's yamen, he walked half a step behind and introduced: "Our Tongzheng Envoy has the Experience Department, the Qing There are four yamen, Lisi, Sifengju, and Zhaomosuo.

The experience department is responsible for sending and receiving documents and using seals.

The Department of Cleaning Officials is under the jurisdiction of the Twelve Bureaus and is responsible for the supervision and management of projects in twelve provinces.

The Sifeng Bureau is responsible for the cashiers of the Six Ministries, the Five Temples, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Zhaomo Institute seals up the documents that have been approved for project approval. "

Chen Yunfu nodded as he walked, and he had a simple understanding of the relevant powers of the General Secretary.

"Ding Tongzheng."

"The subordinate is here."

Chen Yunfu stopped in his tracks, and after walking around the Tongzhengsi, he returned to the main gate.

"I will always stay in the palace in the future, so you are still responsible for the daily work of the Secretary of General Administration. If there are important matters, just send someone to talk to me."

Ding Ji nodded repeatedly, and then called a young official.

"Great scholar, this is Hu Sizong, the experience department manager. If there is anything to do in the future, let him enter the palace and report to you."

This young man named Hu Sizong was very immature, about 20 years old, very bookish, standing in front of Chen Yunfu, who was a few years younger than him, was very reserved.

Now bow to the end.

"The next official, Hu Sizong, sees the Grand Scholar and asks the Grand Scholar how he is."

"Not bad." Chen Yunfu looked at Ding Ji and nodded: "The experience of being an envoy at such a young age is indeed a talent."

What you said is so contrary to harmony!
Ding Ji smiled wryly in his heart, you still boast that others are young, and you are only a little older, and your words are so old-fashioned.

But the face is naturally flattering.

"The Grand Maester is right."

Hu Sizong also saluted and thanked him.

"Okay, you stay here, I'm going back to the palace first."

Chen Yunfu didn't wait any longer, and stepped onto Wei San's carriage.

Wu Yangyang, a large group of envoys, officials and officials all bowed down.

"Congratulations to the bachelor."

Don't tell me, at this time, Chen Yunfu really found the feeling of being an old man.

If it weren't for Chen Yunfu's two lifetimes, which 16-year-old child would be able to handle it?

Chen Yunfu seemed to have caught a glimpse of Zhu Yuanzhang's tricks.

When he came to the imperial palace, Chen Yunfu originally planned to go to the Qianqing Palace to greet him first, but he was stopped outside the Qianqing Gate. The one who stopped him was a little eunuch who followed the imperial court every day.

"University scholar." The little eunuch stood in front of Chen Yunfu and said, "The emperor said that today's memorials are all placed in Wenyuan Pavilion. Hand it over to the servants, and the servants will naturally hand it over to the emperor."

"How is His Majesty's golden body?"

"If you go back to the bachelor, the emperor will be fine."

"That's good." Chen Yunfu nodded, and casually bowed his hands: "If you have a message from your father-in-law, just say that I ask your majesty to bow to Jinan."

"Your servant remembers, and must tell the emperor."

Chen Yunfu stopped talking, turned around and went to Wenyuan Pavilion, the little eunuch stayed there for a while before turning back to Qianqing Palace.

In Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang buried his head in reading, while Baoxiang stood behind him bored.

The little eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, after the Grand Scholar paid his respects, he was stopped by the slaves."

"Hmm." Zhu Yuanzhang waved back the little eunuch and said, "What has that kid been doing these two days?"

Baoxiang knew that this was asking himself, so he bowed his waist and replied: "Yesterday evening, the little master bought some wine and meat and went to pay a visit to Shao Zhi's mansion. He left quickly and didn't stay for dinner.

Then early this morning, the little master went to the Tongzheng Envoy for a tour. "

"He's honest." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "That's right, this is the first day. Give him a little more time, and he should probably float up."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe that Chen Yunfu could really be determined if he rarely held a high position and had great power in his hands.

The real temptation has not yet begun.

Chen Yunfu worked in Wenyuan Pavilion all afternoon, and then left after everything was done, but instead of going home, he went to the Prince's Mansion to see Zhu Biao first.

The latter was obviously a little surprised by Chen Yunfu's arrival.

"Gu thought you were going to serve the emperor here, and you didn't have time to come here."

"How can I forget that the old leader is not." Chen Yunfu came with empty hands, and his mouth is really thick-skinned.

Zhu Biao was no stranger to Chen Yunfu's thick skin. He had been with Chen Yunfu for so long, and he knew what the term "old leader" meant.

"How is it, how does it feel to be on duty for the first day today?"

Zhu Biao looked at Chen Yunfu with a smile and asked: "The scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion is also the head of the general political envoy. To be honest, if Gu hadn't been working in six departments and five temples, even Gu would respect you a little bit." gone."

Of course the latter knew that Zhu Biao was making fun of himself, but he responded seriously.

"That's right, even Your Highness, you have to give the lower officials three points, so in this Jinling City, the lower officials are now lawless."

Zhu Biao was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect the always modest and prudent Chen Yunfu to say such 'frivolous' words, but soon Zhu Biao understood what Chen Yunfu meant, and murmured.

"You are worried about killing people."

"Last night, Tian Shigong, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, came to look for the subordinate." Chen Yunfu did not intend to hide from Zhu Biao at all, and said frankly: "Our servant Tian is very generous. Do the officials in the three provinces of Jiangxi have any ideas?"

Zhu Biao's face froze suddenly.

What is this, the private granting and receiving of power?

"Your Majesty is young, if you want to say what ability you have, it is the wrong love between His Majesty and His Highness. How can He De be in a high position?"

Chen Yunfu bowed to the bottom, and said: "The position of General Secretary is like sitting on pins and needles. When you wake up, you feel like walking on thin ice, so Your Highness, don't make jokes about being an official."

"Hearing what you said, Gu also feels that this matter is a bit interesting now." Zhu Biao took a sip of the hot tea bowl, nodded and said, "You suspect that Father wants to test you?"

"Your official is not a minister of power, and I have never thought of being a minister of power." Chen Yunfu had a serious face, and bowed his head with his robe lifted.

"Your Majesty only wants to have the opportunity to repay Your Majesty and Your Highness for your kindness, appreciation, and promotion. I am willing to do my best to serve Your Majesty and His Highness, and to do my duty for the Ming Dynasty."

"However, the clouds and waves in the officialdom are treacherous. It is inevitable that there will be negligence in entering the official career at a young age, so I have a ruthless request."

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "It doesn't matter if there is anything between you and me."

"Your Majesty, please, you can come to your Highness to ask for instructions and report every day after you are on duty from His Excellency Wen Yuan. By the way, Your Highness also asks you to leave a place for the lower officials to stay in the Prince's Mansion."

Zhu Biao stared, clapped his hands and laughed after a long time.

"Father praised you for being quick-witted and extremely smart. I saw that this is indeed the case today. You have too many eyes, kid. Don't be afraid that you will not grow up."

"Okay, Gu agrees, if there is anything to do in the future, let the father rush to Gu."

Zhu Biao walked up to Chen Yunfu and stretched out his hand.

"Let's do it, I will hold your hand."

Chen Yunfu almost burst into tears.
