Since the death of the Prime Minister, the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion has been divided into three parts.

One part is in the palace, one part is in the Central Protector's Mansion, and the other part is in the Chancellor's Desk.

The Palace and the Central Protector's Office inherited most of the power of the Prime Minister's Office, and the Shangshutai drank some soup.

There was no way, even though Shangshu Ling was recommended by the Prime Minister during his lifetime, it was appointed by the Emperor.

And the Protector of the Central Government happened to also be in charge of the affairs of the Secretariat.

Once the palace and the Central Protectorate reach an agreement, it will be difficult for the Chancellor to make objections.

Fortunately, Jiang Wan, as Shangshu Ling, is an honest man and never likes to fight for power.

At that time, he silently supported the Prime Minister's Northern Expedition from the rear.

Now it seems that he intends to maintain the status quo and silently support the emperor in his prime in the Spring and Autumn Period and the powerful Zhongduhu to join forces to unify the world and revitalize the Han Dynasty.

Jiang Wan was so knowledgeable that the palace and Feng Duhu would naturally reciprocate the favor.

On weekdays, unless it is a matter of great importance, he will basically not interfere in the daily political affairs handled by the Chancellor.

Like this time, things are more serious.

Although the military affairs of the Han Dynasty are now decided by the Central Protectorate, government affairs are handled by the Shangshutai.

But in many cases, the two are intertwined.

Especially when a large army goes on an expedition, it still needs to rely on the chancellery to allocate food and grass.

In this case, the importance of Pingshang Shushi is reflected.

If the affairs of the minister are not settled, the minister's desk can logistically suppress the Zhongdu Protectorate.

With the right to serve as the Chancellor, the Central Protector can participate in the decision-making of the Chancellor, and no one dares to despise his opinions.

This time, Feng Zhongduhu entered the palace and met the little fat man. After talking about the business, he left after a few pleasantries and did not stay as much as usual.

However, after leaving the front hall of Weiyang Palace, Feng Zhongduhu did not leave the palace directly, but turned to the west.

The central government office of the Han Dynasty is located to the west of the front hall of Weiyang Palace.

Among the many central government offices, the most important one is undoubtedly the Chancellor's Desk.

Feng Duhu, who was also in charge of the office of the Chancellor, could enter and leave the Chancellor's desk freely. He did not let anyone notify him in advance and went directly to Jiang Wan's room.

Jiang Wan's check-in room was wide open, and from time to time the minister would send official documents and the like.

When he saw Feng Duhu approaching, he was about to salute.

Feng Duhu waved his hand, indicating not to make any noise.

Shang Shulang understood, and they all bowed their heads slightly to indicate.

The founding generation has a huge influence on a country, and they also shape the style of the country intentionally or unintentionally.

The late emperor and the prime minister also deeply influenced Ji Han.

Although the late emperor was said to be the queen of the emperor's stomach, he had been lonely since he was a child and had been working hard to revive the Han Dynasty for decades. He was not a person who respected his status.

Therefore, etiquette should be light and simple, and should not be red tape.

When he was the Prime Minister of Pingyuan, the late emperor could sit on the same table and eat with him even if he was a commoner in the county.

Not to mention the prime minister, who has repeatedly valued talents and neglected courtesy.

For example, Pang Tong and Jiang Wan were both scolded by the late emperor for being impolite.

But the prime minister once defended them in front of the late emperor.

Although the late emperor and the prime minister are no longer here, the central official offices of the Han Dynasty still retain their legacy.

Feng Duhu told others not to be polite, but others just nodded and walked away.

In Jiang Wan's duty room, the sound of reading official documents could be heard loudly.

If someone didn't know the inside story, they would say that this was Jiang Wan's eccentric way of handling official duties.

But in fact, this was Fei Yi reading an official document to Jiang Wan.

When Feng Du escorted him into the door, he saw Jiang Wan sitting in the middle, with two people sitting on each side.

The person on the left is Fei Yi, and the person on the right is Dong Yun.

One of them holds the official document and reads it, and the other writes the document and waits for it.

After Jiang Wan heard this, he would discuss it quietly with the two of them for a while, or directly express his decision.

If the two of you have other opinions, you can put them forward.

After the three people reached a consensus, Dong Yun wrote down a resolution.

There is also a eucalyptus beside Fei Yi, which is specially used to place the official documents sent over.

The three of them didn't notice Feng Duhu coming in at first, they just thought it was Shangshu Lang who had sent another official document.

It wasn't until Feng Duhu stood in front of them for a while that they realized something was wrong.

"Zhongduhu?"

Seeing that the three of them were about to get up, Feng Duhu quickly stepped forward and held down Jiang Wan's arm:

"Mr. Jiang is inconvenienced, so don't be too polite."

Then he turned to Fei Yi and Dong Yun and said:

"Sit, everyone, sit."

Fei Yi and Dong Yun still stood up and saluted.

Seeing Feng Duhu sitting down next to Jiang Wan, they sat down again.

Jiang Wan's face has begun to show signs of age spots.

Although it is not a lot, it shows that this old man has begun to age.

Feng Duhu felt a little emotional:

"I think back when Mr. Jiang came from Jincheng to Yuexun to see me. He was so elegant and elegant. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, it would be almost ten years..."

Also placed on the eucalyptus were reading glasses that Feng Duhu had specially made for Jiang Wan.

But Jiang Wan seems to use it less and less.

Because he was not only old, but also frail and sick, which was one of the reasons why Fei Yi and Dong Yun were asked to come over to help with official affairs.

And another reason is naturally because of the Prime Minister's last words before he died of illness.

From the current point of view, the Prime Minister's last words provide a very important guarantee for the normal operation and smooth replacement of the Dahan Center.

Obviously, after Jiang Wan, everyone agreed that Fei Yi and Dong Yun were the successors of Shangshu Ling.

At this time, Fei Yi and Dong Yun, one was the Minister of Public Affairs and concurrently the Minister in the Palace (the former Minister of Public Affairs and Public Affairs Li Fu had passed away), and the other was the Minister of Public Affairs and Minister in the Palace.

When Jiang Wan heard Feng Duhu's words, he looked at Feng Duhu with some relief, but also some nostalgia:

"Yes, it has been ten years in a blink of an eye. It is really touching to think that back then, the Central Protector was still a young man, but now he is the mainstay of the Han Dynasty."

Feng Duhu waved his hand quickly:

"Mr. Jiang is overly praised, and I never dare to speak of him as a mainstay. But when I talk about my youth, even though I said I was frivolous, I really miss him!"

When Jiang Wan heard this, the wrinkles on his face relaxed and his eyes were full of smiles:

"Who was not frivolous when they were young? I was almost punished by the late emperor for disdain to deal with the affairs of the county!"

"Mr. Jiang's words are true. Think about it, the Prime Minister punished me many times when he was here..."

Before they finished speaking, both of them laughed out loud.

"Mr. Jiang, has Mr. Ling ever written back to report that he is safe these days?"

Jiang Wan's son Jiang Bin was recommended by Feng Duhu as the governor of Hedong.

This was a good thing. Unexpectedly, just over a year later, Wei Yan would mobilize troops and generals in Hedong.

Now, the Han Dynasty and the Wei State are at war with each other on the border of Shangdang, Hedong, and the situation is tense.

This made Feng Duhu a little embarrassed, feeling that he had deliberately tricked Mr. Jiang, a great matchmaker.

After all, he was the matchmaker for his two wives.

"There is a Han imperial army in the east of the river. How dare the thieves act so arrogantly? Besides, Quanzi doesn't have to go into battle himself, so why not be safe?"

Compared to Feng Duhu, Jiang Wan was calm and even a little unfazed.

I don’t know whether he has seen through the world, or he has strong confidence in the soldiers of the Han Dynasty who have won many battles over the years.

He looked at Feng Duhu, his eyes shining with the unique wisdom of the elderly:

"On the contrary, the Central Protector, except for going to court, rarely enters the palace these days. Isn't it possible that he came to the palace just to chat with me?"

"Jiang Gong's wise eyes!"

Feng Duhu cupped his hands and said, "Actually, I just came from His Majesty's side."
