Since the founding of the country, Emperor Xue Wenbin of Great Yan has made many contributions.Xue Wenbin abolished the position of prime minister and set up a cabinet to assist the government. The cabinets were formed by five scholars, including Wenyuange University, Zhongjidian University, and Jixianyuan University, and had the responsibility to endorse and draft the policy.The person who presides over the affairs of the cabinet is the first assistant of Ge Kui, and the next assistant and group assistant.The chief assistant has always been an official "San Gong" or concurrently served as a minister.Whoever can be an official to achieve this position is already a super high-ranking official who wears a python robe and is an extremely human minister.

Since the founding of Dayan, although there were five assistant ministers in the cabinet in the first period, those five people are also equal, and the official positions are indistinguishable. Naturally, there are not so many grand masters and grand masters to entrust them. titles, or conferred titles.But how many marquises are there in the world? And the titles are hereditary, even if your descendants are rich and hungry, with the merits of my father, you can still be a marquis to have fun and show off your prestige.But the Grand Master is different, it is a kind of glory, a kind of brilliance.Obtaining this title shows that the emperor values ​​you, trusts you, and treats you differently.Just because things are rare.In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there was only one grand master.The more prestigious the position, the more it is a decoration.Just like the bright moon and stars in the sky, they look bright and dazzling, but they just can't get them.Therefore, the position of Grand Master has always been vacant.But it is different now. Great Yan Kingdom has finally ushered in its first grand master --- also the first female grand master since its founding a hundred years ago.

"Your Majesty has a decree, there is a book to play early, and there is nothing to retreat from the court!"

Standing in the hall was an old man with a white face and beardless, he flicked the whisk in his hand, and a sharp voice came, echoing for a long time in the resplendent and resplendent Hall of Supreme Harmony.No need to ask, this old man is naturally Director Sun.This Grand Chief Sun entered the palace at the age of six, served the emperors of the three dynasties, and managed to get into the position of a chief eunuch. He is already in his sixties.When the chief executive first entered the palace, he was bullied everywhere, just because of the "Sun" surname, everyone who saw him would scream "little grandson, little grandson", but it was hard for the chief executive, he was low everywhere he went There are two generations of people.But there is no way, let's boil it.At that time, Emperor Renzong was young, and the empress dowager listened to the government behind the curtain, so she naturally relied heavily on her relatives.The empress dowager's natal family, such as the father of the country and uncles, are flying all over the sky, monopolizing the power in the court, it can be said to be domineering and arrogant.The little grandson thought, when our emperor grows up and takes charge, it's time for us palace eunuchs to raise their heads.It's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's a step too late.When the eunuchs were monopolizing power, the youngest grandson was still a young grandson, a young eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room, without even a rank.Years are rushing, 30 years have passed, Renzong passed away, Suzong came to the throne, and the little grandson also became the grandson, and finally got a fifth-rank official title.Well, let's continue to boil.When it's time for the husband to survive, he will be even more airy than those husbands who ordered his wife. Twenty years later, Suzong let go and entrusted the Great Yan Kingdom to his 20-year-old eldest son Xue Jing.So the gods of heaven and earth were proclaimed, and Xue Jing ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Xuanhe. Xue Jing was the young emperor of Dayan Kingdom, Emperor Xuanzong.

In the tenth year of Xuanhe, Eunuch Sun survived the death of the only remaining senior eunuch, and finally climbed to the position of chief eunuch. He thought that Emperor Xuanzong would finally use eunuchs and servants, so that he could turn himself over.However, Emperor Xuanzong was ingenious. He neither reused his relatives nor favored eunuchs. He reorganized the cabinet and relied heavily on powerful ministers.

Since ancient times, Ming emperors must have good ministers to assist them.Tang of Shang had Yi Yin, King Wen of Zhou had Jiang Shang, King Wu of Zhou had Duke Zhou, Duke Huan of Qi had Guan Zhong, and King Goujian of Yue had Fan Li.Emperor Xuanzong had little ambition. He knew that in order to clean up the universe and stabilize all directions, he needed not only a wise ruler, but also capable ministers.Therefore, in his imperial decree, Shui Xinyou, the first powerful minister of the Great Yan Kingdom, was granted the title of Grand Master for the first time.

Manager Sun's voice fell silent for a long time, but the Hall of Supreme Harmony was still silent.The officials bowed humbly, holding the jade wat, no one spoke and handed over the book, they only raised their eyelids slightly, and looked at the person standing in front, as if waiting for her to speak.Everyone has a common thought in their hearts, as long as the Grand Master does not speak, we are dumb, and the Grand Master plays the book, we are followers.In a word, everything is on par with the grand master, and nothing will go wrong.

The grand master standing in front of the officials was so conspicuous that people had to look at her, even the emperor in the hall was no exception.The officials of the early dynasty, with the special exception of those who came to Beijing to report their duties, were all high-ranking officials above the third rank. They all wore crimson patched official robes and black black gauze hats. The only difference was the patchwork pattern on the chest.Civil officials embroidered birds to show civilization, and military officials embroidered hands to show might.From the first rank to the third rank, the civil officials are cranes, brocade chickens, and peacocks.But only this Grand Master, she never wears official uniform when she goes to court, she always wears white clothes better than snow, standing proudly in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, only with the stars, only belongs to the curling Yao World, do not enter the world of vulgar.

It is said that those who live in the grand master should wear eight pythons and four claws python robes.Python is a small dragon.Since ancient times, the nine-five-year-old is respected, and the emperor's dragon robe has nine dragons and five claws. The Taishi's python robe is only one less claw than the embroidered dragon on the emperor's dragon robe, and you can't see it unless you look carefully.Wearing this clothes can be said to be honorable and honorable.However, Master Taishi is not uncommon. He still wears white robes that reach the ground every day.This pure and flawless white is even more dazzling than the emperor's bright yellow dragon robe.She went her own way almost to the point of presumptuousness, played by the Ministry of Rites, impeached by the censor, and angered by Emperor Xuanzong, but the Grand Master has always had only one sentence: "If the Holy Majesty doesn't like it, I can resign and go home. Reinstate."

Emperor Xuanzong is a person who loves talents and cherishes talents, and he is even more gracious to the Grand Master. Gradually, he gets used to His Highness's distinctive bright color, so it is so conspicuous that Xuanzong can see it at a glance. to her.Shui Aiqing, Xuanzong likes to call Master Grand Master that.It is said that the word "Aiqing" was originally a nickname given to him by Wang Rong's wife, one of the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" in the Western Jin Dynasty. Who should be Qingqing?" It means, I kiss you and love you, that's why I call you Qing. If I don't call you Qing, who should call you Qing? Then somehow, "Ai Qing" became The title of the emperor to his ministers has been used to this day.However, Emperor Xuanzong was very stingy. His "Aiqing" has always been "Shui Aiqing", and nothing else.Qing Zeqing already, but not worthy of the word "love".

"The minister has the book."

Countless eyes in the hall looked at the person who made the voice.Emperor Xuanzong on the dragon chair subconsciously bent his lips and said, "Show me up."

General Manager Sun turned over and went down the hall with a gold plate in his hand, and the grand master presented the memorial with both hands.Manager Sun looked at the Grand Master with a smile, but she didn't look at him directly.

Manager Sun was bored, so he swallowed his mouthful of foam, and presented the memorial respectfully.

"The minister has this..."

"The minister has this..."

"The minister also has a book..."

"..."

The voices resounded through the hall one after another, and all the officials of the court had their own roots.Xuan Zongben was flipping through the grand master's memorial, and when he heard the uproar below, he said in displeasure: "Why, once Shui Aiqing has the book, you all have it?"

Now it's quiet down here again.Emperor Xuanzong threw the grand master's memorial in his hand aside and said: "Retire!" He got up and left.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

All the ministers shouted long live to the empty Dragon Chair Mountain, and saw that the Hall of Supreme Harmony was kneeling inside and outside, all of the same height and color, the scene was really spectacular.

At this time, Manager Sun felt a little proud, as if he was the one kneeling down by the officials.He dismissed all the ministers according to the scriptures, and then slowly drove out from the small side door, just in time to reach the courtiers who had retreated one after another, gathered in groups of three or four, bustling, presumably guessing what the grand master had done .

"Master Murong, you are familiar with Shui Shoufu, you must know the inside story?"

"Yes, yes, Master Murong, please disclose it, so that the lower officials can be mentally prepared!"
