The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 379
Spring goes, winter comes, summer comes again, summer blows and autumn passes another spring.

Six years passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past six years, Xie Shenlei moved to the capital, the right deputy capital of the procuratorate, the governor of Nanzhili, the left servant of the Ministry of official affairs, and the right servant of the Ministry of rites.

Many discerning people can see from this promotion trajectory that Xie Shilang will definitely join the cabinet in the future.

Because the position of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and the right concubine of Youchunfang in Zhan Shifu is simply reserved for the cabinet ministers.

Once the new king comes to the throne, who else can use the old man who doesn't use his East Palace?

Even more well-informed, I found out that the emperor was seriously ill and kept coughing, and even coughed up blood a few days ago.

No wonder Xie Shen's promotion has been so fast since he entered Hongzhi for 18 years. It turned out that the emperor was arranging the funeral affairs.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar immediately.

The emperor's health has always been poor, and in recent years, he has been taking elixir, which has made his body weak.

If the emperor really controls Bintian at this time, the court situation will definitely change a lot.

Since Hongzhi succeeded Xu Pu as the chief assistant in the 12th year of Hongzhi, Liu Jian Liu Ge has been the chief assistant of the cabinet for six years.

This time is by no means short. If Emperor Hongzhi is still in his post, there will be no problem.But if the new king takes the throne, it is inevitable that some adjustments will be made to the cabinet staff.The most important thing is that the pavilion changed hands.

Judging from the qualifications of the cabinet members, Li Dongyang, the second assistant, is most likely to take over.

Although Mr. Xie Qian and Xie Ge entered the cabinet in the same year as Li Dongyang, his age and prestige are not as good, and the others are not a threat to Li Dongyang.

Li Xiya's reputation is immeasurable, and there are naturally an endless stream of people visiting the door.

However, Li Dongyang obviously knew the way of forbearance, and declined all these visits.

Liu Jian's life is difficult, but he has no intention to voluntarily give up the position of chief assistant.

As long as Emperor Hongzhi is still there, there is no reason to change the chief assistant.

Even if the new king comes to the throne, he may not necessarily be taken to the knife.

Few people will give up voluntarily after enjoying the power of Zaifu, and Liu Jian is no exception.

He will never admit defeat until the last moment.

However, at the end of April, the situation changed greatly. The emperor's condition deteriorated sharply, and the phenomenon of coughing up blood became more serious.

The imperial doctors of the imperial hospital were all helpless, they could only watch the emperor coughing in pain.

By May, the Son of Heaven was so skinny that he lost his human form, lying on the bed like a skeleton.

After struggling for a few days, Ming Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang finally died of illness on the seventh day of May.

The old emperor died of illness, and the busiest thing was the crown prince Zhu Houzhao.

Not only did he have to attend ceremonies on various occasions to express his condolences to the late emperor to his subjects, but he also had to prepare for the enthronement ceremony.

Fortunately, there is a group of capable veterans in the court, and everything is prepared in an orderly manner.

On May [-]th, the crown prince held a ceremony of ascension to the throne, that is, the throne of the emperor.

The new king came to the throne and ordered all the subjects of the Ming Dynasty to mourn for three days without singing or playing.

Although the crown prince Zhu Houzhao has already practiced Zuo, according to the rules, he cannot change the Yuan, and he will not have his own reign until the next year.

The little emperor was just fifteen years old, and he was at the age of aggressiveness.

He heard that a group of old ministers were gearing up and were ready to persuade him to abide by various etiquettes like they advised his father, and they were very unhappy when they came down to rule.

But thinking about his father's death not long ago, it was really inappropriate to have an attack, so he endured it.

Liu Jian and Liu Ge Lao are undoubtedly the most restless.

Although he did not make any mistakes, nor did he have any moral stains.

However, according to the usual practice, when a new monarch ascends the throne, he will definitely change a group of courtiers, and the first one to bear the brunt is the chief minister of the cabinet.

But Liu Jian is a person who has seen big scenes after all, so he still chooses to grit his teeth and persevere.

But this persistence completely collapsed in the first year of Zhengde.

The emperor favored the eight tigers, and Liu Jian wrote to ask the emperor to punish the eight tigers but did not get a response.This made Liu Jian feel that his belief in life had collapsed, and he became discouraged and wanted to retire.

In March, Liu Jian formally wrote a letter requesting to retire.

The first assistant wrote to beg for the bones, and Emperor Zhengde finally agreed to Liu Jian's request after making a symbolic persuasion.

Liu Jian's departure naturally needs someone to fill in.

The new emperor chose Li Dongyang, a good old man, without thinking.

Firstly, Li Dongyang has the oldest qualifications in the cabinet and can convince the public.Secondly, the emperor himself prefers Li Dongyang.

In addition, there is a vacancy in the cabinet, and a cabinet member can be alternated.

The new emperor ordered the Ministry of Officials to push the court. After a fierce battle, Xie Shen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, won and entered the cabinet successfully.

Although it is not possible to confer the title of a bachelor at this moment, being able to join the cabinet and participate in government affairs is already the most celebratory thing for Xie Shen.

Many courtiers expressed surprise, one must know that Xie Shen is only in his twenties this year, yet he has become a cabinet minister.

Although there are various coincidences, such as Emperor Hongzhi's sudden dragon controlling Bintian, which led to the reorganization of the cabinet, it seems that the promotion is too fast.

However, this was introduced by the Ministry of Officials and followed legal procedures.The courtiers who opposed it were just complaining, which had no effect on the fact that Xie Shen entered the cabinet.

Now Li Dongyang is the first assistant, Xie Qian is the second assistant, and Xie Shen is the third bachelor.

It is very interesting that there are two old Xie Ge in the cabinet, both of whom are from Yuyao. People can't help feeling that Shaoxing Prefecture has outstanding people and Yuyao County is the leader in literary circles.

In order to distinguish, the ministers joked that Xie Qian was Xie Ge Lao, and Xie Shen was Xiao Xie Ge Lao, which was also a feeling.

At the end of June in the first year of Zhengde, the weather was unbearably hot.

Xie Shen was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard of the mansion alone.

Seeing his son Xie Xu respectfully appearing beside him, Xie Shen beckoned his son to come over.

Xie Xu is seven and a half years old this year and has been enlightened for half a year.And the one who enlightened him was none other than Xie Shen himself.

As a person who traveled through future generations, Xie Shen obviously couldn't accept that his son was taught by a bunch of rotten Confucians since he was a child, and he was taught to be an elm lump who couldn't understand the past.

Adolescence can have a crucial impact on a person's outlook on life and the world.

If you have been indoctrinated with too much Confucianism at this stage, it will be difficult to break it back.

It is not impossible to learn Confucianism, but there must be trade-offs, and the essence must be discarded.

Xie Shen smiled and said, "Why, have you finished reading all the books today?"

Xie Xu looked like a little adult, and cupped his hands at Xie Shen: "Report to father, I have finished reading."

The voice is breastfeeding, very lovable.

Xie Shen pampered Xie Xu's nose and said, "Didn't you call me Daddy? Why did you call me Father again? Was it your mother who taught you?"

Xie Xu nodded, and said cautiously: "Mother, mother said that etiquette cannot be broken."

Alas, Xie Shen sighed, feeling a little helpless.

　ps: Historical novels are not chronicles. If you write an estimated 2000 million words a year, you won’t be able to finish them.Therefore, Lao Kun can only skip and write important and interesting years.The Hongzhi Dynasty was generally calmer, which was still related to Emperor Hongzhi's character.On the contrary, Zhengde will make a lot of noise.There is also about the time when Liu Jian became an official. The history is October of the first year of Zhengde, which is brought forward for the plot.After all, it is a time-travel casual drama, so don't get into it~
