In the 17th year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao put up an iron plate in the palace and wrote: "The internal ministers shall not interfere in political affairs, and those who are expected shall be executed." Then, the rules were set up to strictly prohibit the internal supervisor from reading and literacy. However, this regulation was soon abolished by Emperor Taizu Gao himself, because there must be several eunuchs who read and manage documents and treasure maps.

However, Emperor Gao only acquiesced to the internal officials to read and must not be able to understand the meaning of the text.

The Chinese script is a two-track tradition of white and white calligraphy. Eunuchs who know literacy but do not understand the meaning of the text and know what is being said in the text, can only select the classic texts that the emperor needs based on the shape and drawing.

During the Yongle period, Chengzu needed a more powerful private secretary, ordered people to teach internal officials and set up Dongchang, which completely destroyed the design of Emperor Taizu Gao. By the Xuande period, Xuanzong set up an internal book hall and selected four Hanlin officials to teach grammar at full time, and set the training of internal officials as a regulation. Moreover, the purpose was clear, to "make great use after more than ten years or twenty or thirty years."

Ordinary family members of the family of the village need to be in charge of the inner house and the parents who are easy-going and responsible for the external social engagement. What's more, the emperor regards the world as his family. If there are only external ministers but no internal officials, it will be an inconsistent yin and yang.

Zhu Cixuan knew this very well. Just like his team of professional managers back then, external marketing work and internal finance and human resources were equally important and indispensable. Moreover, from his experience, if you want to hold power firmly in your hands, you can get twice the result with half the effort if you want to take the inside out route.

Unfortunately, in this world with strict hierarchy, even as the prince, you can’t think of choosing an “insider” by yourself. Just like later elementary school students are not qualified to choose a tutor or cram school by themselves.

It was not Zhu Cilang's kindness to keep Tian Cunshan, but he knew that among the tens of thousands of eunuchs in the country, there must be much more rotten apples than good apples. Instead of replacing people like a lantern, it is better to use the waste, so as to avoid causing trouble for the father and mother, which makes people upset.

Now that I have arrived outside the palace, I finally have a certain amount of personnel rights and have to choose some reliable subordinates for myself.

Tian Cunshan is not a fool. He knows his position in the prince's heart. Because of the stains of the past, no matter how he welcomes the prince's will, it will be difficult to gain 100% trust from His Royal Highness. Moreover, in terms of his ability to do things, the prince is obviously not very satisfied with him. Therefore, the task of finding Liu Ruoyu is really troublesome to Tian Cunshan. If it is done, it is to dig a grave for himself; if it is not done, the prince will not give him a good face.

But he didn't expect that there were a total of more than ten eunuchs with some status around the prince, and there was a force that wanted to kill him and then hurry up. Because of the joint efforts of these people, Liu Ruoyu all entered the prince's study room, and the seal official realized that the person had been found.

Tian Cunshan was guarding the door of the study, feeling uneasy. Every time a few words flowed out of the curtains, he made him think a lot.

It seemed like a long sword pierced into his heart inch by inch.

Zhu Cilang listened to Liu Ruoyu's detailed life after being released from prison, and judged whether Liu Ruoyu had exaggerated or concealed it. Liu Ruoyu's performance on this point was perfect, and he told his life over the past two years without any emotion, calm and objective.

——This person can be the master!

Zhu Cilang said in his heart.

"How to open up the situation now?" Zhu Cixuan asked.

Liu Ruoyu gently pinched the knuckles of his little fingers, and his heart was already alert.

The prince seemed to have left the palace in a hurry, but on the first day he left the palace, he recruited an old official from the Military Affairs Office. He met the Eastern Palace officials and Chen Tingyang, and also dated Li Banghua, the left censor of the Censorate. Obviously, he had plans in the palace as early as possible, and it was not on a whim. As for the issue of opening up the situation, I am afraid that the interview would be more inquiries.

He calmed down and was not worried that what he said was contrary to the prince's plan.

The point is whether the prince can pick up the vacant ones.

"Your Highness," Liu Ruoyu said, "If you say that you can treat the plague, you will probably have to see the Ministry of Justice and Shuntian Prefecture to make a decision."

"The people of the Ministry of State are in trouble, and I want to use the Eastern Palace Guards to do this." The prince said.

"The East Palace Guard..." Liu Ruoyu frowned slightly and added: "When the old minister was still in the palace, there was no East Palace Guard. I don't know if it was useful." Liu Ruoyu was imprisoned in the second year of Chongzhen. At that time, the prince was still in his infancy and had no guards.

"I can't stand the drive," Zhu Cilang shook his head, "so I still have to recruit soldiers and practice them myself."

Liu Ruoyu nodded slightly and said, "If this happens, your highness needs to find a few censors to impeach Zhou Jing, the current guard of the Eastern Palace."

"Impossessed?" Zhu Cixuan was stunned: "I want Zhou Jing to add a guard, isn't it enough?"

"Your Highness," Liu Ruoyu was secretly happy, "What is your Majesty worried about now?"

"In the final analysis, it's nothing more than having no money." Zhu Cilang said.

——It turns out to be extremely wise!

Liu Ruoyu's eyes flashed, and he couldn't suppress his interest, and said, "Therefore, if Zhou Jing reported to Your Majesty that he wanted to recruit soldiers, Your Majesty would probably feel that it was not an urgent need, and even recalled Your Highness to the palace, completely eliminating the trouble of spending money." Seeing the prince nodding slightly, Liu Ruoyu continued, "If the prince was silent and just did things, the censors would tell His Highness that it was difficult to do things and was in a dangerous place, Your Majesty would not suddenly ask Your Highness to return to the palace."

Zhu Cixuan picked up a white jade Ruyi on the table, slapped his high-high, and smiled and said, "It's true that I'm the worst in the inner court. I'm still a little bit more tender in this officialdom." If I wanted to do anything in my previous life, I just went straight to do it with an email. How could the so-called office politics compare to the Ming Dynasty officialdom that has been tempered for thousands of times?

Liu Ruoyu is a serious scholar and a literati minister. He is almost able to be promoted to the literati minister's attendance. These facts are as if they are in the truth.

"The father is very determined to be rebellious about the censors. As long as those censors urge your Majesty to let me return to the palace, your Majesty will not agree." Zhu Cilang extended it.

"Your Highness is very true," Liu Ruoyu also smiled, "But for safety reasons, someone should be encouraged and praised by Your Highness. I wonder if anyone can choose you?"

"It's not difficult to choose a person." Zhu Cilang remembered that his interactions with Li Banghua during the day were quite a match between the king and the minister. Even though he didn't dare to say that the Inspectorate would surrender to him, it would be difficult to find a few tricks to write some articles. He was in a good mood at the moment and said, "Ruoyu, you know a lot about the allusions of the palace ban, and it will always be useful to find some helpers."

"I wish to be your noble minister!" Liu Ruoyu knelt down on the ground.

"Get up," Zhu Cixuan waved his hand, "I never believe that the lonely ministers can do things. The civil servants all claim to be alone and pure ministers. How many can they really do? Even if they do it, what are the things that benefit the country and the people? I don't care about the fact that officials form party members. As long as they can do things well, what does it have to do or not?"

Liu Ruoyu's heart was thumping, and suddenly he found that the Eastern Palace's view on political affairs might be more profound than many emperors. The great illiterate Wei Zhongxian was able to act sideways in the rituals and supervision, not just because of Keshi, but also because he was able to help the emperor get things done.

At least the emperor believed that he could accomplish something.

After being released from prison, Liu Ruoyu also put some effort into the current court, but was surprised to find that after the fall of the eunuch party, although a group of officials from Donglin-Fushe took advantage of the rebellion, not many of them were promoted. The so-called "righteous gentleman" and "eunuch villains" became simple party disputes. Those who were named these two names were not necessarily gentlemen, nor were they villains.

However, the national government is becoming increasingly declining, and fewer and fewer people are doing things down-to-earth, almost extinct.
