Chapter 19 Reporting to Prince Yu's Mansion

The next few days.

The snow in Beijing finally stopped before it became a disaster.

Yan Shaoting also began to perform his new duties.

Every day he accompanied Old Yan to and from the cabinet on errands.

On the contrary, he had never fulfilled his duty as tutor to the Crown Prince of Prince Yu's Mansion, and he had not even reported for the new post.

But the news that Yan Shaoting offered a sky-high reward spread throughout Beijing.

This is mainly because there have been too many hot searches about Yan Shaoting recently.

Attracted too much attention in the court.

The reward of ten thousand taels of silver for him has further increased his popularity amidst many heated discussions.

Everyone is waiting to see the result of this shocking bounty.

More people were saying that the eldest son of the Yan family was probably crazy, and that the Yan family had too much silver hidden in the cellar, which had turned black and had nowhere to use it.

This day.

Yan Shaoting arrived early to accompany Old Yan to the cabinet.

He currently has no real position in any of the six ministries, only the posts of Assistant Director of the Imperial Guard and Right Assistant Secretary of the Chancellery, so most of the time he just reads memorials beside Old Yantou.

Occasionally, Old Yan would bring up one or two things and ask Yan Shaoting for his opinion.

As for Xu Jie, Gao Gong and others, they naturally lived under the same roof.

However, there were not endless power struggles in the cabinet every day. On unimportant matters, everyone basically had a unified opinion.

Stabilize the political situation.

Whether it was Old Yantou or Xu Jie and others, they all thought the same.

But even so, Yan Shaoting also absorbed a lot of governing experience in these few days.

cabinet.

It is the place where power in the entire Ming Dynasty is most concrete.

Every command issued here will cause huge changes somewhere.

He also took this opportunity to continuously absorb administrative experience during these days.

Wait until the afternoon, after the cabinet has finished lunch.

Yan Shaoting came up to Old Yan and said, "Grandpa."

Yan Song was taking a nap at the moment, and so were Xu Jie, Gao Gong and others not far away.

Following Yan Shaoting's call, Yan Song slowly opened his eyes.

In the past few days, the performance of his eldest grandson can be said to be quite satisfactory, but he would occasionally give some novel opinions, which made Yan Song very satisfied.

He smiled and asked softly, "What's the matter, Shao Ting?"

Yan Shaoting glanced at Gao Gong who quietly opened his eyes and looked over here, and said directly without hiding anything: "My grandson is still responsible for the job of Right Shuzi of Zhanshi Mansion, and he has to go to Prince Yu's Mansion to serve as a tutor to the Crown Prince. He has not had time in the past few days, and I think it's time to go there today."

Strictly speaking, "侍读" means "teacher".

But for the heavenly family, we cannot say teacher, we can only say serving and studying.

Generally speaking, the royal tutor would first have an official position in the Hanlin Academy. However, perhaps because Yan Shaoting entered the officialdom through patronage, Jiajing did not give him a promotion to the Hanlin Academy.

Yan Song understood what Yan Shaoting meant, glanced at Gao Gong who was peeking, nodded at Yan Shaoting and said, "Prince Yu is kind and filial. Although the prince is still in his infancy, he is also the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. His Majesty has been so kind to ask you to be his tutor. It is a blessing for you, and you should take it seriously."

This was what it meant to agree, and it also disgusted Gao Gong who was peeking at him.

When Gao Gong heard this, he immediately felt nauseous in his throat.

This damn old Yan, has he forgotten how he supported King Jing in the first place?

He immediately turned to look at Xu Jie, who was taking a nap after lunch.

But Xu Jie seemed to be really asleep and didn't show any reaction at all.

Gao Gong could only groan in anger, cross his arms, turn his neck, and tilt his head to the other side. Looking at Yan Dang for one more time is disgusting!

Yan Shaoting just nodded and said, "After my grandson went to Prince Yu's Mansion, he came back to accompany Grandpa out of the palace and back to the mansion."

Yan Song nodded with a smile.

Recently, having his eldest grandson serve in the cabinet has made him feel more relaxed than ever before. The most important thing is that the Yan family may really be able to overcome the difficulties smoothly and continue this power into the future new dynasty.

after all.

The eldest grandson is already the tutor of Prince Yu.

Yan Song slowly closed his eyes, but countless ideas emerged in his mind.

Yan Shaoting slowly stepped back, and when he arrived in front of Gao Gong, he smiled and bowed, "Lord Xu, Lord Gao, I am leaving the palace for a while."

Gao Gong was already angry, and now being called out by Xiao Yan's party, he simply stopped pretending and opened his eyes.

He glanced at Yan Shaoting and spoke in a muffled voice.

"It's a good thing. The snow has been melting these past two days, so you have to walk slower."

Yan Song, who had originally closed his eyes, opened them quietly, glanced at Gao Gong, and then closed them again.

Yan Shaoting just smiled, his face full of kindness: "Thank you for your concern, Lord Gao. I will definitely leave steadily."

Gao Gong's face turned anxious and he was about to speak, but he saw Yan Shaoting had already slipped out of the cabinet classroom like a loach.

Leave the palace.

Yan Shaoting went straight to Prince Yu's Mansion.

When they reached the street in front of the palace, Yan Shaoting dismounted and climbed the steps.

The caretaker of Prince Yu's Mansion had long heard of the newly appointed tutor to Prince Yu's son, and he had been mentioned frequently in the mansion in the past few days. When they suddenly saw Yan Shaoting coming, they hurried into the mansion to ask for instructions.

At this time, in Prince Yu's mansion, Prince Yu Zhu Zaigui was sitting on a chair with a heavy face. Zhang Juzheng, who was about to go south, did not go to the cabinet today, but asked Prince Yu for his opinion on going south in the mansion.

Tan Lun, the Chancellor of the palace, stood aside with his hands clasped. From the eastern compartment, the sound of a child crying and a woman coaxing her baby could be heard from time to time.

Zhu Zaigui frowned and whispered, "In short, no matter what the purpose of Lord Yan is this time, Master Zhang must not let any trouble arise in the local area during his trip to the southeast."

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I will go to Nanzhili to find Zhao Zhenji and arrange for Suzhou and Songjiang to change from cotton to mulberry. Then I will go to Zhejiang to arrange for the rice to mulberry."

Zhu Zaigui added: "I am just still a little worried..."

Prince Yu is indecisive and hesitant.

Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, don't worry too much. I will personally go south to take charge of this trip. Even if the Yan Party makes a move, I will be there to watch."

Tan Lun said directly: "In our Ming Dynasty, as long as the Yan Party is not eliminated, everything will be extremely difficult."

Zhu Zaigui also nodded in agreement.

At this time, a servant came in from outside.

"Your Majesty, Yan Shaoting, the Right Secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion, is here."

Following the servant's words, the three people in the hall raised their heads and looked outside the door.

Zhu Zaigui said hesitantly: "What is he...going to do?"

Zhang Juzheng frowned and thought deeply.

Tan Lun whispered, "Your Majesty asked him to be the prince's tutor, but there has been no movement in the past few days. I think he came to report to the prince today to handle his duties."

The prince is still in his infancy. He can't read, and he can't even speak. Now he does nothing but cry. Why does he need a tutor?

Zhu Zaiqi nodded and glanced at the compartment next to him: "Let him in, and let Concubine Li carry the prince out."
