The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1642 The Steward and His Deputy

From the moment His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne of God until now, His Majesty Li Er's actions are worthy of this position, the ideals in his heart at the beginning, the courtiers who followed him through life and death, and the people of the world.

Carrying Datang forward step by step, perhaps, His Majesty Li Er is destined to pay for this Datang with his whole life, starting from the Li Family Jinyang's "King of Qin" in Jinyang, until the end of His Majesty Li Er's life in the future.

The next day, His Majesty Li Er was no longer in the side hall of the Xuanzheng Palace, and left the side hall to Prince Li Chengqian, while he himself returned to the palace, and the prince was still in charge of the affairs of the court.

As for the East Palace, Xuan Shijing has always been in charge.

Xuan Shijing has a deputy, that is, Prince Shao Zhan Shi, named Chen Chong, who was a little-known official who worked in the East Palace before, but Xuan Shijing saw that he was quick and good, so he recommended him to Li Chengqian. Later, Li Chengqian put this person by Xuan Shijing's side, the meaning is also very obvious, you bring the person you recommend yourself.

But even so, Chen Chong was promoted to an official position, and suddenly became a Shao Zhan official, a fourth-rank official, and stepped into the ranks of important officials in the imperial court.

Chen Chong's age is similar to Xuan Shijing's, and he is also a young official. He is one of the few fresh blood in the East Palace. Xuan Shijing promoted Chen Chong for this reason. He can't find someone who is a round older than himself to do it. Your own helper?When ordering people around, I must feel more or less uncomfortable. I just find someone younger than myself, and it is much easier to handle. When I am busy, I help deal with things. When I am free, I just serve a cup of tea. This water thing is much more manageable than the little yellow gate standing outside the East Palace study.

His Majesty Li Er has ignored political affairs for the past few days, and Li Chengqian has also received His Majesty Li Er's will to temporarily live in the Xuanzheng Palace. On the East Palace side, the only person who can take care of things is Xuan Shijing, Prince Zhan. , All matters, large and small, were sent to Xuan Shijing. Xuan Shijing was also annoyed by trivial matters in the East Palace, but there was no way, this was his responsibility.

What is Zhan Shifu in the East Palace?To put it bluntly, it is to be in charge of all affairs inside and outside the East Palace, to correct impeachment and non-violation, and to judge government affairs.

Even the allocation of food and clothing in the East Palace is the business of Zhan Shifu.

How bad are these things?How much the Crown Princess or the Crown Prince's concubine spends this month is the business of Zhan Shifu.

To put it bluntly, he is the butler of the Eastern Palace.

It's just that Xuan Shijing doesn't care about these trivial matters in the East Palace, and leaves them to Chen Chong. Chen Chong handles these matters behind Xuan Shijing. Just like the three provinces lightened the burden on His Majesty Li Er, he helped Li Chengqian lighten the burden.

Now that Li Chengqian is sitting in the Xuanzheng Palace, the number of documents sent to the East Palace has dropped sharply. In just one morning, Xuan Shijing has dealt with all the things that should be dealt with, and Chen Chong is also in the East Palace. in the study.

"Chen Chong." Xuan Shijing called out.

"Here, Master Xuan, what can I order?" Chen Chong came to Xuan Shijing in a hurry, and asked with a bow.

"Here in the East Palace, if you keep an eye on this afternoon, I will go back first. If the prince asks, just say yes." Xuan Shijing said: "You have been with me for a while, you must be able to be alone, don't let me The officer is disappointed, understand?"

With that said, Xuan Shijing stood up and patted Chen Chong on the shoulder.

"Yes, Master Xuan, don't worry, I will do my best to handle the affairs in the East Palace well, so as not to disappoint you." Chen Chong responded with a smile and cupped his hands.

"It's not to disappoint His Royal Highness." Xuan Shijing corrected.

Although Chen Chong is young, he is very tactful in dealing with people and has a bright future in terms of being an official. Although Xuan Shijing has never heard of this person's name before, but looking at it these days, this young man , is indeed a man who can be made, and a person who is too upright will not go far in the officialdom.

Everyone can be Xiao Yu, but there is no second Li Shimin.

If you have the ability and know how to do things, it’s not a bad thing to be tactful. If you protect yourself, you will have the energy to do other things. If you can’t even protect yourself, what do you talk about doing things.

Chen Chong gave Xuan Shijing the impression that he is a person who can protect himself and do other things. This is considered a talent.

Such a person is suitable for officialdom.

After handing over the affairs of the Eastern Palace to Chen Chong, Xuan Shijing left the Eastern Palace and the palace, and did not return to Zhuangzi for a few days. Anyway, the Eastern Palace is considered idle today, so let's take advantage of this time and go home. .

As for how busy Li Chengqian was in the Xuanzheng Palace, that was not something Xuan Shijing should worry about. Li Chengqian was handling political affairs in the Xuanzheng Palace, and naturally he had the help of the bigwigs from the three provinces, so Xuan Shijing would not go up.

With this kind of effort, it's better to go home to see my daughter and son, and it's been a long time since I didn't go to the academy, so it's necessary to take a stroll around the academy.

Talented people, time is always tight, because there are things to do, so they are so busy.

Xuan Shijing left Chang'an, and in the afternoon, at the Xuanzheng Hall, Li Chengqian sent someone back to the East Palace. He wanted to invite Xuan Shijing to the Xuanzheng Hall, but Chen Chong replied that Xuan Shijing had already left the palace.

Li Chengqian could only invite Chen Chong over.

Let's see what this person has learned during this period of time with Xuan Shijing, and see if he is a useful talent.

Li Chengqian now fully understands the difficulty of his father. The position of the emperor is not easy to sit on. He has not taken this seat yet, but he is only acting as an agent of the government. It's not easy yet.

Although acting as an agent of the government, the usual things to do are the same as what His Majesty Li Er usually does, but there are still differences. This set of courtiers are all selected by His Majesty Li Er. When Li Chengqian really sat in that seat, this team would definitely be in chaos, and he would reorganize it himself in the future.

One emperor and one courtier is not just talking, but reorganizing a team of courtiers of one's own is not a simple matter, even more complicated than handling these political affairs at hand. test.

That is the test of employing people. Now Li Chengqian has no chance to experience this kind of test, but from now on, Li Chengqian is not in a hurry to experience it. Just the things in front of him are enough for him to work.
