On September 15, the emperor issued an imperial edict, an imperial edict that shocked the court.

Sun Chengzong was appointed as the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, and was granted the title of Shao Shi. He entered the cabinet and became the second auxiliary of the cabinet. Liu Zongzhou served as the left censor, the crown prince Taibao, Huang Daozhou served as the right chief envoy, and the crown prince Taibao. The three of them were in charge of the royal family's participation in politics and political affairs. The Zongren Mansion assisted, and Lu Shanji was appointed as the title of Minister of War, Governor of the military affairs of Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and Sichuan Province, and was responsible for the extermination of bandits. Su Tiancheng served as the governor of Shaanxi and also served as the commander-in-chief of Jiangning Camp, assisting in the extermination of bandits.

This is an imperial edict that was lightning. The civil and military ministers of the court already knew that the royal family was about to enter the court to become officials, and the emperor had completely changed his previous policies.

This imperial edict shows two meanings.

In addition to the royal children coming to the court, there is another meaning. The court is preparing to launch a final encirclement and suppression of the bandits. The Jiangning Camp entered Shaanxi. Su Tiancheng became the governor of Shaanxi, and Lu Shanji was not responsible for the military affairs of Shaanxi. This shows that Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning Camp will shoulder the important task of exterminating the bandits.

The discussions in the court are inevitable.

Faced with such explosive news, the shock in the court was extraordinary.

But this time, Zhu Youjian was very tough. He was not allowed to submit any memorials to the censor or the ministers. He even made it clear in the morning court that all civil and military ministers were not allowed to discuss without authorization.

Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou already knew their own tasks. When they returned to the court, they were immediately given such an important task. You can imagine the mood, especially Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou, who directly entered the top management and were decreed as the prince's young security guard. Such a responsibility is extraordinary.

Therefore, at the court meeting, the three of them made a clear statement that the president had supported the decision made by the emperor and would definitely complete the task.

The three of them had extraordinary prestige. Some of the ministers in the court could not find the north and didn't know how to launch an attack. For many years, the ministers in the court were able to publicly refute the emperor's decision, but this time, they could not find a breakthrough, and the emperor made a clear statement. If someone secretly made a secret, he would never let it go after finding out.

The shock of the imperial edict was not only in the capital, but also in the vassal kings from all over the country learned the news.

Such news is extraordinary for the vassal kings.

For many years, the vassal kings have little meaning to live and are raised by the court. Just like raising pigs, they eat and sleep, and even if they have great abilities, they have no place to perform. They are stared at by the Dongchang and the Jinyiwei, and dare not act rashly. They have no political status and have become the targets of bullying by ministers in the court.

The vassal kings and their children can enter the court as officials. This is a decisive change. From this moment on, their political status has completely changed, which also shows that they are royal children and their identities are originally noble.

The shocks received by the vassal kings in various places were huge.

After learning about this, many vassal kings immediately summoned family members to bathe incense, worship the emperor and ancestors, and had foresighted vassal kings, and put forward strict requirements on the family's children.

King Zhu Shenxuan of Jin first wrote a memorial and submitted it to the court. The memorial was praised by the emperor, and at the same time it showed that he was willing to make the greatest contribution to the revitalization of the Ming Dynasty. Then the memorial was submitted by King Fu and Prince Fu Zhu Yousong.

After the imperial edict was issued, Su Tiancheng was about to leave the capital and rushed to Shaanxi Province.

He was only twenty-five years old. At this age, he became the governor of Shaanxi and became a senior official of the third rank of the court. This was the only situation in the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the greatest reflection of the emperor's absolute trust and his own ability.

The rest time is only ten days. On September 25th, Su Tiancheng is about to set off and head to Shaanxi Province. In these ten days, Su Tiancheng still has too many things to do.

The first thing he needed to make suggestions to Sun Chengzong and others was that among the first batch of appointed vassal kings and the sons of vassal princes, Zhu Shenxuan, King Jin and Zhu Yousong, the prince of Fu.

The imperial edict clearly states that Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou are responsible for the arrangements of royal members. In fact, Su Tiancheng cannot escape the relationship. Now, ministers in the court and all walks of life know that this "big rebellion" suggestion was proposed by Su Tiancheng, which means that the real responsibility lies with Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng knew that Sun Chengzong and others must have found him.

Su Tiancheng didn't wait long.

On September 17, he arrived at the Forbidden City.

Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou were all in Wenhua Hall. Apart from the three of them, there were no one else in the hall. It seemed that they had been specially prepared. You should know that the three of them were very busy. After the imperial edict was issued, there were long queues of people coming to visit, and these people were mainly from the sect's mansion, with extraordinary identities.

Sun Chengzong was a first-rank official, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou were both second-rank officials, and Su Tiancheng was a third-rank official. In front of the three, he was a subordinate. Therefore, etiquette is indispensable. This is the Wenhua Hall in the Forbidden City, a place to handle official affairs and a place to require etiquette.

Su Tiancheng bowed his head in a regular manner.

"Mr. Su, I and Mr. Liu, Mr. Huang invite you here today. There are some things I want to discuss with you."

"Sir, please give me the order. The officials will know everything."

"Okay, the first question is, how should the royal children enter the court, and their titles be implemented."

"The officials thought that they already had titles and did not need to continue to implement them."

"The second question is that the royal family has a special status. If they become officials in the court and meet superior officials or colleagues, how should they treat mermaids very domineeringly."

"The officials thought that the dignity of the royal family was still there. When the royal family entered the court, they mainly needed to handle administrative affairs and handle government affairs. In terms of handling government affairs, they also had to obey the opinions of their superiors and do things according to the imperial edicts of the court. As for the imperial edicts, the emperor's imperial edicts. As for the daily contacts, the superiors and colleagues should still consider the identity of their royal children."

"How do children of the royal family take the imperial examination?"

"Except for the prince, all the other clans need to take the imperial examination before they can enter the court to become officials."

"Okay, the most critical question is that the vassal kings have their own fiefs. If they become officials, will they be officials in their own fiefs or in other places?"

"The best way to deal with specific situations is to be an official in another place. According to the officials' belief, the policy of this fiefdom should be broken. The vassal kings can be in the capital city without having to be enfeoffed to various places, which is inconvenient for coordination and management."

Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou all had serious expressions. They did not expect that Su Tiancheng's answer was so straightforward. If the abolition of the fiefdom of the vassal kings was actually deprived of some of the power of the vassal kings in disguise. If the vassal kings left the fiefdom, or the fiefdom no longer existed, the fiefdom privileges they had naturally had to be cancelled. Letting the vassal kings live in the capital, on the surface was a care of the vassal kings, but in fact it was a surveillance measure. Moreover, the vassal kings in various places had annexed a lot of land. If they left the fiefdom and went to the capital, they could not manage these lands and could only be sold.

Sun Chengzong nodded first. Su Tiancheng thought it carefully and thought about the details. Since the sons of the vassal kings and vassal princes could enter the court to serve as officials, there was no need for them to stay in the place. The largest wealth land gathered by the vassal kings would naturally be sold. This plays a crucial role in alleviating the annexation of land, allowing many farmers and tenants to cultivate land, and increasing the income of the court.

Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou also understood the truth.

Half an hour later, Sun Chengzong changed the subject.

"Mr. Su, you have made such a suggestion. I and Lord Liu and Lord Huang are going to endure hardships. I have heard that some vassal kings have submitted memorials and begged to go to Beijing. Everyone knows the purpose of their entry into Beijing. But at this time, you are going to Shaanxi to take office. If it weren't for the special situation in Shaanxi, I would really leave you in the capital. I know that you must have recommended candidates, and will there be other recommended candidates for King Jin and Prince Fu?"

Su Tiancheng smiled. Apart from Zhu Shenxuan and Zhu Yousong, he really had no other recommended candidates. He was about to go to Shaanxi. There were only two vassal kings with fiefs in Shaanxi. One was Zhu Cunshu, the King of Qin with fiefs in Xi'an Prefecture, and the other was Zhu Changhao, the King of Rui with fiefs in Hanzhong Prefecture. He was not familiar with these two vassal kings and vassal kings, and he didn't know them at all. However, he proposed that the vassal kings and vassal princes could enter the court as officials. I believe that after arriving in Shaanxi, he would definitely get strong support from the vassal kings. These vassal kings are not stupid and know that they have made friends with them. Their children are likely to enter the court as officials directly.

"Sir, there is no other recommended candidate for the Xiaguan. King Jin and Prince Fu and the Xiaguan have come into contact with each other and are indeed capable. Although the King Jin and Xiaguan have an extraordinary relationship, Xiaguan adheres to the principle of "external promotion and not avoiding revenge and internal promotion and not avoiding relatives. As long as they are capable, the Xiaguan will recommend it without hesitation."

When he left the Forbidden City, Su Tiancheng's mind had already shifted and moved to Shaanxi.

There were too many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, which was why the vassal kings were idle. After eating, sleeping, and eating, they naturally had more wives and gave birth to more children. After hundreds of years, a huge team has been formed. It is indeed difficult to arrange Sun Chengzong and others, and there are only so many positions. Fortunately, Su Tiancheng's memorial has already made suggestions that no matter who it is, when entering the court to do things, they should start from below. Except for the vassal king himself, the rest of the children, when arranging, they can consider arranging positions such as magistrates, or even positions such as county magistrates and lords.
