Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 317: One Prime Minister and Four Cao Cao, if they don’t come, they will establish their authority

Facts proved that Chen Zhi's worries were not unnecessary. After careful observation for a while, he was finally able to confirm that his subordinates were indeed the kind of people who had no ambitions.

In fact, this is not a difficult thing, because whether a person is successful or frustrated can be seen from his words, deeds, and how he treats others.

When one is successful, even a concierge and a lackey can dare to show off his authority without any taboos. Moreover, the more others show weakness, the more arrogant the successful person becomes, and vice versa.

The few people in front of me, including Tai Lecheng Dong Xu, all appeared cautious and cautious when facing me, whether they spoke or acted. They even exceeded the awe of a lower official for a superior, but simply respected him. of fear.

Thinking about it, Chen Zhi couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and then he decided to understand a few more words.

"Dong Cheng, when I came in, I saw that you were quite idle, and no one seemed to be dealing with political affairs. As you know, I got the official position directly, and this Tai Leling was my first official, so I don't know much about the situation. Many, you are an old man, what can you teach me?"

Chen Zhi's words may sound like he is asking for advice at first, but as long as you pay attention to the content of the first half of the sentence, you can hear that Chen Zhi is actually warning and giving a reminder, clearly pointing out that when he comes , everyone looked idle and idle, and after warning, they asked for advice. This method is equivalent to a simple version of using grace and power at the same time. Chen Zhi also often used it in his previous life. It is natural to use it now. It's easy to get used to it.

Dong Xu also heard the meaning behind this, how could he dare to fool him, and said with sincerity and fear: "Shangguan Mingjian, my subordinate has actually been here only a short time. He was just transferred from the Auxiliary Yamen four months ago, but Taileling has already There is a vacancy, no one mentioned it at all, and they only have a brief understanding of the affairs of our Taile Department."

When Chen Zhi heard this, he understood that this subordinate was indeed a frustrated man. He could be said to have been exiled, but he still took advantage of the situation and said, "That's strange. You did a good job under the command of the arsenal. Why was he transferred here, and there were no official officials here when he came? Doesn’t it mean that there is nothing to do at all? What’s the point of such a transfer?”

The arsenal order, worth six hundred stones, is in charge of armored soldiers and ceremonial guards of good and bad luck, and is an officer under the command of the Weiwei.

This guard is also one of the ministers. He is on the same level as the imperial servants. He is in charge of the guards at the palace gate, oversees affairs in the palace, oversees smelting and casting, and receives smelting orders.

And Taichang is also a minister, and Taile Ling is an official under him. Taile Cheng is under Taile Ling. According to the customary official rules, even if he is assigned, under normal circumstances, he must be balanced first.

There are left and right ministers in the arsenal order, and Dong Xu was transferred four months ago and was directly appointed as Tai Lecheng. This means that he was originally at least one of the left and right ministers in the arsenal. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not transfer such a thorough person. idle department.

Dong Xu smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

At this time, a person next to him said: "Dong Jun, do you have anything to hide? Can't you see? Shangguan has seen our roots, so just tell the truth."

"Alas!" Dong Xu sighed, nodded with a wry smile, and then said to Chen Zhi: "I guess Shangguan also understood that we were ostracized where we were, so we were sent to Taile Department. The reason is mostly sadness."

"Oh? I don't understand." Chen Zhi suddenly used the word "Official", which made everyone slightly stunned. "I asked you to come here because Tai Leling was vacant and you had nothing to do. , or is it because everyone else is convinced that it is difficult for others to sit in this position of Taile Ling? So you can't accomplish anything here?"

As soon as he said this, several people below looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Fortunately, Chen Zhi did not wait for their response, but said solemnly: "Everyone, I don't want to say anything else. Since I am here today, the Taile Department must be up and running. You were here Because I won’t ask who came here, and I don’t want to know whether I can have a stable footing in the future. What I want to see is the future. If there is still such laziness as today, then it is Taile Department, and I am afraid it is not a place of refuge. ”

When he was talking about the first words, his tone was relatively calm, but when it came to the second words, he seemed a bit cold and hard. Dong Xu and others were shocked when they heard this, and they nodded repeatedly. The little luck in their hearts finally disappeared.

In fact, they already knew who the new Tai Le Ling was, but they also thought about it. The young man who dreamed of him was also an official from the family, and he didn't have enough experience to give them room to play.

Today, Chen Zhi's sudden arrival was actually just a slight surprise to them. Part of their fearful attitude was sincere, but part of it was just a show. However, Chen Zhi's words made them take it seriously.

"Okay, Dong Cheng, as Tai Le Cheng, you know the top and bottom of the yamen best. First, please explain to me clearly the positions of meritorious officials in the yamen and the people they belong to. Also, I'll wait and see if it's OK. Everyone’s here.”

Chen Zhi's opening disturbed everyone's thoughts, and then he threw out one thing after another, which made people dizzy. However, after hearing his words clearly, the expressions of several people changed slightly.

There was worry in Dong Xu's eyes. He knew that the new Shangguan was probably impatient and had the arrogance of becoming famous at a young age. Such a temper was not a good thing in the officialdom, but he did not dare to point it out. After all, it is a new official who has taken office. If he, Tai Le Cheng, not only refuses to accept an order, but instead tries to dissuade him, it would be extremely disrespectful. "I understand, I will introduce it to the superior officer." After thinking about it, Dong Xu rationally chose to follow the order.

After his introduction, the general structure of the Taile Department became much clearer. It has to be said that although the official position of Taile Ling was vacant before and everyone in the yamen seemed decadent, the structure of this yamen has become clearer. But it cannot be said that he is small. Among the many Tai Chang subordinate officials, he is probably one of the best.

To put it simply, the subordinate officials of the Taile Department are divided into one Cheng, four Caos, and four officials.

The first prime minister is naturally Dong Xu, Tai Le Cheng, who is in the middle and coordinates all parties. In theory, he is the right and left hand of Tai Le Ling, while the four Cao correspond to the four functions of Tai Le Ling respectively.

One of them is Xielu Cao Zhou Ao, who assists Taiyue Ling in managing Lu Lu music. This is because the position of Taiyue Ling and Xielu Lang was created, which is a position for music;

The second one is Cao Gaojiang, the musical performer, who assists Taiyue's army in finding wine and music leaders for sacrifices, and creates elegant music. This position is a matter of arranging and composing music, and is also involved in the choir dance music during sacrifices;

The third one is to advocate Cao Maxuan and assist Taiyue Ling in controlling Qing Shang music and other matters. In fact, he holds the power gained after the Qing Shang Ling. He is the leader of the emperor's ceremonial guard and has the power to judge the entertainment affairs of the capital. In fact, the influence of this position Power is partly reflected among the people;
The fourth is Cao Xuji, the governor of music, who assists the Taiyue Order in leading the music people in the capital and giving words of judgment. This position is actually more special, but the influence is also not small, because it can actually judge and give comments to the music people. , over time, it will even affect the quality of the product.

In fact, the combination of these four powers reflects the authority of the Taile Order, which can adjudicate the pleasures of many academies. Moreover, due to the ancient environment, although many departments had complex personnel, they did not divide the ownership rights. It is clear and not detailed, so up to now, many entertainment projects in the capital are actually under the jurisdiction of Taichang, and the powers of the officials under it have also been expanded, such as chess, etc., sometimes together with the music, they are also found Come to Tai Le Ling to judge.

As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Because it involves a wide range of things, it does a lot of things and offends many people. This is why it is difficult to sit in this position.

Chen Zhi already understood this truth after listening to Dong Xu's introduction to the four Cao.

"It's no wonder that this position is vacant. It's no wonder that Tai Leling in front of me will not last long. No wonder the princes in the court will use this position to compromise. It is really not easy to sit in this position."

After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Zhi understood the reason. In this era where fame and character are the main factors, once power comes into contact with these elegant things, it becomes complicated. It not only depends on the ability of the officials, but also on other officials. Human knowledge and skills.

"Although it is a complicated position, it is easy to produce results. As a springboard, it is perfect."

With this thought in mind, he later learned about the power of the four officials. These four officials were actually simple and did not have any specific names. They could all be called Tai Le officials, who were responsible for recording, organizing and collecting relevant files.

"Why is Cao Xuji, the governor, in the future?"

After the introduction was completed, Chen Zhi asked about one of his subordinates.

There were quite a few people present, but not all of them. Except for the positions of two subordinates who were vacant and no suitable candidates were available, only Cao Xuji, the supervisor and music supervisor, was clearly in office but had not come over. How could such an absentee person be expected? The leaders will not let it go.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, and it was Dong Xu who came forward and said: "Xu Dule has been feeling cold recently. It's really..."

"Okay, don't talk like this," Chen Zhi smiled. He had seen this scene a lot. He had experienced it himself in his previous life and had also seen what happened to others. "Send someone over now and tell this Xu Ji, No matter what his status is, I have to meet his people here in half an hour, otherwise he will be my prestige person."

These words choked everyone present. Without him, he was too direct.

Everyone knows that there are three things a new official should do when he takes office. This is a common rule, but everyone just does things but doesn't talk about it. But this person was better off and directly threatened him. How could this be reasonable?
However, since they were Shangguan after all, Dong Xu and others did not dare to disobey. They looked at each other and sent someone to inform Xu Ji.

After the others left, Dong Xu came over and said: "Shangguan, Xu Dule has indeed been involved in something recently. The matter is related to the Hou family of Han Shouting. He is the uncle of the Guan family, and he is a member of the Xu family in Hedong. branch."

　Thanks to "brownspecter" for the rewards of "Pink lips to make purple blood", "Spring outing with apricot blossoms blowing all over the head" and "Chu Chu is not me"!
