The Taifu and Taibao belong to one of the three divisions, but their positions are different and their status is slightly higher than that of Taibao, second only to the most respected Taitu.

Originally, the highest-level position of the Third Division is unlikely to be granted to current officials. Only after resigning or dying can one be posthumously awarded the title of the Three Duke by the court.

The three official positions of Crown Prince Taishi, Crown Prince Taifu and Crown Prince Taibao were also given as false titles in the court, and were granted to those powerful ministers as honorary titles.

But if you look at these three official positions in detail, the positions are different.

The crown prince’s grand tutor gave him the crown prince’s literary talent, the crown prince’s grand tutor gave him the crown prince’s military talent, and the crown prince’s grand tutor was to protect the safety of the Eastern Palace.

Before Li Xin, all of these three positions had their own positions but no one did it. In other words, some people were the ones, but no one did it. Only Li Xin from the Taikang Dynasty took over the actual position of Prince Taibao and truly became the prince's teacher.

Now, when the prince was succeeding to the throne, he, the imperial master, naturally took off the word "Crown Prince" and became the serious Taibao. Before the emperor took power, he was responsible for leading the imperial guards and protecting the emperor.

However, if you are "promoted" to Taifu, then your status must be improved, and the title of the imperial teacher is more legitimate. However, without the position of Taifu, you will no longer have the function of protecting the emperor.

In other words, he could still command the right camp of the imperial guards as the Taifu, but it would be easier for the Shangshutai to remove this position one day.

Marquis Jing'an has also been in the court for more than ten years. He has never played this trick of rising and falling openly. Naturally, he could see the secret thoughts of these old guys at a glance. He put his hands in his sleeves and bowed slightly to Shen Kuan.

"Have Shen Xiang and others made a decision on this matter?"

Shen Kuan, Gong Yang Shu, and Yan Shouzhuo were the three of the four auxiliary ministers who were appointed by the late emperor. Once the three of them made a decision, Li Xin's own opinions were actually useless.

Shen Kuan, Gong Yang Shu and others looked at each other, and then said in a deep voice: "I have such an idea for the time being. We have discussed it all, and His Majesty has also asked. If the Marquis has no problem, there will be an imperial edict to the Marquis' Mansion in the next two days."

Li Xin smiled.

"Shen Xiang was the auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor, and the Secretariat and the Censor were there. If the three of them were settled, my opinions seemed to be irrelevant."

Shen Kuan coughed, then laughed and said, "The Marquis is a pillar of the country and has also made great contributions to the court. Although we are the auxiliary ministers, compared to the Marquis, the contributions are very small. We naturally have to discuss everything with the Marquis."

"If the Marquis disagrees, I will discuss it later."

Li Xin stood in the main hall of Shangshu Deck, looked around at the three prime ministers, and his smile on his face was restrained.

He bowed slowly.

"These dukes are either prime ministers or censors who supervise all officials. They are all auxiliary ministers of the court. They are not sure how much they have been stronger than Li Xin in terms of power. No matter what happens, there is no need to discuss with me, a small minister of the Ministry of War. If the court has any orders, they can just send them to my marquis's mansion."

"Li Xin is a minister of Jin, and the court's meaning is that Li Xin follows everyone."

After saying that, he bowed to several assistant ministers.

"After the imperial court completed the throne ceremony, all the dukes were very busy. I guess there were still many things to do. Li Xin, a idler, would not disturb the dukes' busyness."

"I'll say goodbye."

After saying that, he carried his hands on his back and turned away.

As soon as he walked out of the Shangshutai, Li Xin's face was as deep as water.

He is a good-tempered person and never makes things difficult for anyone for no reason, but someone keeps asking him for trouble!

It’s okay for Emperor Taikang in the past. After all, he is the current emperor. He has the motivation, qualification and ability to cause trouble for him. But now, Emperor Taikang has collapsed!

These big-headed scholars who were unknown in the Chengde Dynasty and did not emerge until the Taikang Dynasty, also began to make up their minds!

Even with Li Xin's good temper, he did not give them a good look.

His attitude was very obvious. He could be promoted to be the Grand Tutor, but he had no objection.

But if someone wants to take away the military power of the Right Battalion of the Imperial Army in his hands, then Li Xin will have no good temper to treat them!

Thinking of this, Marquis Jing'an stopped and looked back at the Shangshu Desk's room.

"I really think that if I become an assistant minister, I will be the emperor?"

He left with his sleeves.

……………………

In the Shangshu Deck, the three auxiliary ministers looked at each other.

Logically speaking, as auxiliary ministers, the three of them were qualified to directly issue documents or even imperial edicts to decide this matter without discussing it with Li Xin. They had already given Li Xin a great face and personally invited Li Xin to the Shangshu Desk. The three auxiliary ministers were in person and told Li Xin calmly about this matter.

But unexpectedly, the young Marquis Jing'an did not give them any face. After a few words, he turned around and left.

There is silence in the Shangshu Deck.

In the end, the Secretariat Gong Yang Shu, who was the prime minister in Chengde Dynasty, was the first to speak. After coughing, he said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, let's give up."

He sighed slightly: "He is the identity of Prince Taibao of Li Chang'an, who was personally granted by the late emperor. Even the right camp of Yulinwei was handed over to him by the late emperor himself. Now that the late emperor's funeral is only three months old, we don't need to offend him."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Shen Kuan.

“Thankful…”

Shen Kuan is the head of Shangshutai now. The left prime minister sat in his position. After a while of silence, he slowly spoke: "Brother Gongyang, we are not going to offend him. Today I personally went to invite him to Shangshutai to speak, and the three of us were all present, and we spoke to him in a good voice."

"We didn't even mention a word about the right camp of the imperial guards, but only talked about the promotion of the Taifu."

As the Prime Minister, Shen Kuan's face was a little unfair.

"Even so, he left."

The Censor Yan Shouzhuo was silent.

Gong Yang Shu said helplessly: "It is normal for him to be young and have a bigger temper..."

"That's a bit too big."

Shen Kuan's face looked a little unfavorable. He lowered his head and said, "I have read the many documents in the southwest. Brother Gongyang has also read them too. It is an indisputable fact that Li Chang'an and the southwest are unclear, and even connect with each other!"

"The late emperor once took him to Dali Temple because of the southwest. However, there was a problem with the late emperor's body, and he eventually had to make a big deal and leave it alone."

"We are naturally not as good as the last emperor."

Shen Kuan lowered his head slightly and spoke slowly: "But we can't let him Li Chang'an collude with the rebels of the southwest while holding the lifeline of the capital!"

"In any case, before Your Majesty takes power, we must return it to Your Majesty a clear and clear Jin Dynasty."

Yan Shouzhu, the censor who once served as the Minister of Dali Temple in Chengde Dynasty, glanced at Chen Kuan.

"The emperor is so serious. The lower officials think that the Secretariat said it well. This matter is not urgent, so take it slowly."

Shangshu Zuo Pushe took a deep breath.

"Both are the auxiliary ministers appointed by the late emperor on his deathbed, and the ministers of the court are afraid that Li Chang'an will not succeed?"

"It is related to military affairs. I will invite the Grand Governor to the Shangshu Detachment for a while tomorrow. The two of you said it well. This matter is not urgent, but not being anxious means not doing it."

Chen Xiang's tone was firm.
