He lowered his voice and said to the queen: "Sage, don't worry, I will take care of this matter, and it will make the saint satisfied, so that the saint, the prince, and the concubine will have no worries!"

Yan Shouqin has been living in this palace for more than ten years.

Everything in the palace, both internal and external, is well understood.

In fact, he had already clearly understood the situation in Concubine Zhu De's family.

Now, Concubine Zhu De's stepfather Zhu Shi'an and adoptive father Ren Shiqing have both died of illness.

However, the imperial court extended its favor and only granted the title of Concubine Zhu De's stepfather Shi'an, and he was only a deputy envoy.

Among the favors given to the emperor's relatives in the Song Dynasty, serving as a deputy envoy was the lowest level of favor.

No matter how low it is, you won't be able to take it!

As for Concubine Zhu De's biological father and adoptive father, they did not receive any favors or benefits.

This is enough to show that Cui, Zhu and Ren are all small families and have no influence in Bianjing City.

Yan Shouqin has rich experience in dealing with such families.

He knows that if he contacts these people now, he only needs to give some small favors, promise to be promoted to an official position, and talk about his powerful connections, which is enough to get them to obey.

Once the mother-in-law takes care of it, Concubine Zhu De will be able to handle it easily.

After listening to Yan Shouqin's words, Queen Xiang finally put aside the last worry in her heart and said to Yan Shouqin: "I'll thank you for this!"

"If you make it happen, I will reward you heavily!"

After Yan Shouqin heard this, he quickly bowed and said, "I am loyal to the saint, how dare I expect a reward?"

But in my heart, happiness blossomed.

His rank has now reached the top of the chamber of chamberlain.

If a minister reaches this level, if he wants to be promoted, he can't be promoted by honing his qualifications in the palace.

Every step can be said to be extremely difficult.

Because ministers at this level all need to face the same problem: foreign ministers.

This is an ancestral system that cannot be changed even by the emperor.

High-ranking ministers must have foreign service qualifications before they can be granted the title.

Internal ministers and foreign ministers were appointed either as supervisors or as cadres.

In addition, for external appointments, they are generally in charge of the Privy Council, dispatched by Zhuque of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and evaluated and supervised by the magistrates and escorts who have entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If you don't have a strong backer.

If you are an internal minister or an external minister, if you are not careful, you will step on a thunderstorm.

Some have been up and down in the local area for more than ten years, and some have even been sent to Jingnan, Guangnan and even Lingnan.

Correspondingly, ministers only need to go through the ups and downs of serving as foreign ministers and return smoothly.

Then, he will have the opportunity and possibility to break through the shackles of being a minister and successfully step into the world that every minister dreams of.

Break away from the two provinces of internal servants and become a real minister!

Yan Shouqin understood that he only needed to please the queen and leave a good impression on the queen.

Then, his foreign duties will not have any thorns and difficulties.

The queen said a word, how dare she embarrass him when she enters the Ministry of Internal Affairs? How dare the Privy Council and the Ministry of Civil Affairs just throw him away to a remote state?

Don't find him a stable and comfortable place to gild!

Not to mention, with the current situation, I'm afraid that trying to please the Queen is also equivalent to trying to please the Prince of Yan'an.

When Yan'an County Prince grows up, is Yan Shouqin still afraid that he will not be able to achieve great success?

…

Note: In the Song Dynasty, the ministers called the emperor: everyone. This is a title that expresses closeness.

Note: When a minister is promoted to serve as an official in Dongtou, he usually has to transfer out and change from a minister to a military minister before he can continue to be promoted and transferred to another official position.
