Chapter 409
(Second update!)
The news that Ru Nian heard was related to the East Palace, and it was learned from Zong Zhengqing and Jiang Qin's family.

Jiang Qin was drunk and leaked the words "officials of the East Palace". To the ears of those who are interested, it is big news.

Officials of the East Palace refer to officials who serve in the East Palace, which means that the prince plans to assign officials.

"The crown prince has been registered for several months, and it's normal to assign subordinate officials. I was just wondering who these East Palace subordinate officials are." Shen Su said, not surprised by the news.

Now even the great epidemic in Runzhou has been stopped, and there are no major affairs in the country. At this time, it is a good time to assign officials to the East Palace.It seemed that the prince was not at all ambiguous about the road he was going to take.
Shen Du is also curious, who will be the officials of the East Palace, especially the prince Zhan Shi, who will it be?
It has been nearly 80 years since Dading was established, and the establishment of subordinate officials in the Eastern Palace has long been coded.The subordinate officials of the Eastern Palace refer to the settings of the imperial court. It is a complete control system and an abbreviated version of the imperial court.

From Zhan Shi's mansion to Zuo Chunfang, from Prince Zhan Shi to Zuo Shuzi, from Zhan Shi's accusation to the wife's duties, there are clear regulations.

The officials of the Eastern Palace are different from the officials of the imperial court. According to the regulations, the officials who serve in the court and the officials of the Eastern Palace can only choose one of them, but Prince Zhan Shi is an exception.

Dading did not set up the three posts of Shaofu, Shaoshi, and Shaobao. Prince Zhan Shi was the highest-ranking official in the East Palace, and his status must be seen from it.

The crown prince Zhanshi is the third rank, and his salary is the same as that of the six ministers and the Yin of the Nine Houses.

In the past, Prince Zhan's affairs were mainly held by the chief officials of the three provinces who had retired, and few third-rank officials were directly transferred to Prince Zhan's affairs.

Shen Du remembered that the chief officials of the three provinces before Pei Gongfu and Wang Zhang had passed away.As for Shangshu Ling, Fang Jixin is in such a situation, it is impossible to be the Prince Zhan Shi.

Who will be the Chief of the East Palace that the Crown Prince prefers?On this issue, do the prince and the emperor agree? ——The last point, Shen Du wants to know even more.

The allocation of officials in the East Palace is the first time that the prince has truly managed the East Palace since he was registered.Which official position appoints which official, there is a lot of knowledge here, and it will definitely attract the attention of the DPRK and China.
"Let's take a look at the officials on the left and right Chunfang. Now that the situation is so calm, the officials in the court and the central government may think this is a good thing." Shen Su said.

Now that the crown prince has been established, there is no one among the princes who can match the crown prince. In the eyes of the officials, serving as an official of the Eastern Palace is a matter with little risk and great reward.

After all, there is a saying that there is such a thing as incense and fire when people do it with heart and flesh.If the officials served as officials of the Eastern Palace and became familiar with the prince, it would be easier for the prince to be reused when he ascended the throne in the future.

Officials will calculate this account.It is foreseeable that once the news of the appointment of the officials of the Eastern Palace is released, there will be turmoil among the officials of the DPRK and China, and the scale of the turmoil is definitely not small.

If the emperor knew about these turmoil, what would he think?
Thinking about these situations, Shen Su half-closed his eyes, his expression was always gloomy, not many people knew what he was thinking.

"The emperor is at the peak of his spring and autumn..." Shen Du followed this sentence, obviously knowing what Shen Su was thinking.

The crown prince has been appointed, and the spring and autumn are at their peak. These two are not contradictory, but once they meet, the power in the court will always ebb and flow.Who will grow, who will grow, it may be uncertain, no wonder the Shen family and his son will attach so much importance to this matter.
Two or three days later, at the early court, Zong Zhengqing came out to make a statement, saying that the crown prince has been registered, and the officials of the East Palace should be assigned accordingly, so as to better help the prince to familiarize himself with political affairs, and so on.

After Jiang Qin's statement, many other officials came forward to post a statement, asking for the appointment of officials in the East Palace, and asking the emperor for permission.

Jiang Qin's invitation somewhat surprised Emperor Chongde.Now that the crown prince has been established, it is advisable to assign subordinate officials to the East Palace, which is stipulated in the Dading Code.Emperor Chongde forgot about this for a while. ——After he was registered as the crown prince, Emperor Jianhe passed away not long after. He ascended the throne before the spirit, and there was no official in the East Palace at all.

If it wasn't for Jiang Qin's request, he would never have remembered that there was an official in the East Palace.

The officials of the East Palace are different from the staff system of the prince's mansions. They are court officials with ranks, officials who work for the East Palace, and are also the future court team of Dading.
This matter is a major matter in the court, and it was brought up by Jiang Qin.

Several officials of the Political Affairs Hall stood and did not express any opinion on the matter, but Zheng Shiyong frowned, seeming a little worried.

Silent and worried, of course, considering that the court situation will be turbulent.For an official like him, turmoil in the court is not a good thing.

But for other officials, this is a great thing.
The rest of the court officials in the palace were stunned for a moment after hearing Jiang Qin's statement, and then their eyes brightened.In just a few moments, they have quickly judged what it means to assign officials to the East Palace, which means that they have a fair reason to get close to the prince.

This meaning is especially important for officials below the fourth rank.This is related to their future, and it can be regarded as a great opportunity.

It is impossible for everyone to have Conglong Zhigong, but now that the situation has been settled, it is still possible to take advantage of the opportunity of serving as an official of the Eastern Palace to get acquainted with the future emperor.

This opportunity must be seized, agreeing with Jiang Qin's statement is the prerequisite for this opportunity to appear.All of a sudden, officials came out one after another, and they all asked the emperor for permission to assign officials to the East Palace.
There are hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, and in all court affairs, there are always times when they think left.However, on the matter of assigning the officials of the Eastern Palace, the court officials rarely maintained a consensus, and no officials came forward to object.

Officials have different views on North Korean affairs, but they all agree on one thing: the code has stipulated the matter, and there is nothing to object to.What's more, since the crown prince is established, it is only natural to assign officials to the East Palace.

Seeing that there was no objection in Xuanzheng Hall, Emperor Chongde couldn't help but feel strange.This time he didn't need to use the Emperor's Balance Technique, and he was a little uncomfortable.

If you are not used to it, you still have to make the decree that should be made.In this matter, he must act according to the code.

"I allow this performance. The Ministry of Officials is responsible for the matter of the East Palace being an official. Gu Zhan, you should handle this matter carefully, and there is no room for loss." Emperor Chongde said this, and directly called Gu Zhan's name.

The selection and appointment of officials is of course a matter for the Ministry of Officials, and the officials of the East Palace are no exception.

Gu Zhan came out in response to the order, and replied respectfully: "I obey the order!"
What kind of changes will happen to the imperial court following the matter of the officials of the East Palace?
