Chapter 13

　　After meeting Chu Mingfeng, Yuanli returned the power of housekeeper to Yang.

　　Yang gladly took over this time. After learning that Chu Mingfeng had given Yuanli three visiting cards, she specially ordered Chu Hechao to accompany Yuanli to visit the great scholars and famous officials.

　　Chu Hechao had been in the five major military camps these days and had found many colleagues to study ways to get food. When he received the news from Yang, he was watching the training of the central soldiers in the parade ground. Hearing the news, he impatiently returned to the mansion from the military camp with sweat all over his body.

　　Yuan Li stood under the eaves of the gate of the mansion, waiting for him with red lips and white teeth. When she saw him, her eyebrows curved slightly, and her whiteness and cleanliness were like the morning mist. "The general is back."

　　The tall man walked quickly to him, with beads of sweat on his chin, and his handsome eyebrows were damp. He looked down at the envelope in Yuan Li's hand and asked casually, "Who are they?"

　　Yuan Li said, "Shaofu Shangshu Zhou Yukan, Taiwei Zhang Liangdong, Sili Xiaowei Cai Yi."

　　The official system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was somewhat complicated, somewhat similar to the system of three officials and nine ministers, but a cabinet was added to it to restrict the three officials and nine ministers, and then the Jianhou Mansion was established to check and balance the cabinet. The

　　five ministers in the cabinet were all appointed by the emperor himself or recommended by the ministers, and they had great power. But after the emperor established the Jianhou Mansion, the eunuchs were more trusted and indulged by the emperor, and the cabinet was restricted and suppressed step by step.

　　Among these three gentlemen, the Grand Commandant is one of the Three Dukes, the Minister of the Imperial Household is one of the Nine Ministers, and the Inspector of the Capital is a full-time inspector of all officials in the capital. They are all well-known figures.

　　"Chu Mingfeng is very attentive to you," Chu Hechao smiled and raised his eyelids, "Which minister do you want to visit first?"

　　Yuanli took out a letter to "Grand Commandant Zhang Liangdong" from the envelope, "I only plan to visit the Grand Commandant."

　　Grand Commandant Zhang Liangdong is the chief minister of the cabinet, leading the national military, and has the highest official position among the three. At first glance, it is natural for Yuanli to choose the Grand Commandant, but in fact the Grand Commandant has no real power. It sounds good in name, but it is just a position to take the blame for the emperor. Once there is any natural disaster or man-made disaster, the emperor will remove the Grand Commandant to apologize. But the Grand Commandant and the Inspector of the Capital are different. Although their official positions are not high, their real power is more powerful than each other.

　　Yuanli is not a short-sighted person. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a lot of hidden information about Chu Mingfeng's serious illness. At this critical juncture, it would be better for him to have less dealings with high-ranking officials who held real power.

　　Moreover, although the position of Taiwei was a pitfall, Zhang Liangdong was a great scholar of the time, well-versed in classics and history, and good at writing poetry. Every day, countless people wanted to see Zhang Liangdong. If he could get a compliment from Zhang Liangdong, he would soon become famous in Luoyang.
