Chapter 1414 Xu Jie's Political Art
Governor Yingtian is the governor who governs the southern region of Zhili, and manages Chengtian, Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Taiping, Chizhou, Huizhou, Ningguo, Anqing Eleventh Prefecture and Guangde Prefecture, including Yingtian Prefecture.
The platform is located in Suzhou City.
After Hu Zongxian, the "Governor-General of Zhejiang Province", was dismissed, Zhao Bingran, the right minister of the Ministry of War, dispatched by the imperial court, became the governor-general and governor of Zhejiang. Therefore, Governor Yingtian naturally became the highest official dispatched by the capital to the southern Zhili area.
Yangzhou Prefecture has never been under the control of Governor Yingtian, and now that Lin Haoran, the deputy censor of the left capital, is in charge of the Prime Minister's Salt Administration, it is naturally inappropriate to send Governor Wei Shangchun of Yingtian to inspect Yangzhou.
However, now that Li Yu, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing, has impeached Lin Haoran, the court has not punished him, and there seems to be nothing wrong with sending Governor Yingtian to Yangzhou for inspection.
Xu Jie's move was naturally selfish. He knew that Lin Haoran could not be punished because of the impeachment of a small Nanjing household minister, Wai Lang, so he wanted to use this to send Wei Shangchun, the governor of Yingtian, to deal with Lin Haoran.
Once Yingtian Governor Wei Shangchun comes to Yangzhou to impeach Lin Haoran, then his treatment of Lin Haoran will be logical, and the emperor will probably agree to recall Lin Haoran to the capital for disposal.
Exactly like this, when he wrote this draft, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly with pride, already seeing that Lin Haoran was about to cause a big trouble, and even his ambitious plan to rectify the salt policy was completely bankrupt.
.
Just as he was about to continue reading the memorials on the table, a cabinet official came in from outside the door and respectfully handed over his hand to report: "Master Yuanfu, Wu Shangshu wants to see you!"
"Jingjing is here, come in quickly!" Xu Jie immediately raised his head and looked at the door, and said loudly and enthusiastically.
In terms of dealing with people, Xu Jie is really impeccable. This first assistant room is not big, so as long as the sound is louder, people outside will definitely be able to hear it.
Wu Shan has a dignified appearance. Although he has served as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for some time, he is not arrogant because of this. He still maintains his serious style and a serious smile on his face.
Although he heard that Xu Jie heard him come in, he still waited for the cabinet minister to turn around and come back before he stepped into the chief assistant's duty room, saluted Xu Jie in a polite manner and said: "I pay my respects to Mr. Yuan Fu!"
"Wu Shangshu, you don't need to be polite, please sit down quickly!" Xu Jie stood up and pointed to a chair on the left, as if meeting a friend for many years, and said enthusiastically.
"Thank you Yuansuke!"
Wu Shan first saluted and thanked him, then walked to the chair, lifted the official robes in front of him with both hands, and then sat down on the chair in an orderly manner, maintaining an extremely standard sitting posture.
"Wu Shangshu, I don't know why you came here?" Xu Jie saw all his behavior and behavior, and felt a sense of inferiority in his heart, but he asked straight to the point.
Wu Shan raised his eyes to look at Xu Jie, and bowed his hands in a polite manner: "Reporting to Lord Yuanfu, regarding the matter of Yang Xuan, the governor of Jixun, withholding military pay, please recall him to the capital for a thorough investigation!"
He is now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, in charge of the promotion of hundreds of officials, and is responsible for removing some bad apples from the court. Because of this, he is extremely concerned about the quality of officials in a certain place, and he quickly gets rid of some bad apples.
Now the governor of Jiliao, Yang Xuan, is deducting the pay of the generals, regardless of their military ability. Such people should be investigated and punished. Only through this kind of official administration with clear rewards and punishments can the imperial court be clean.
However, when the matter reached the cabinet, there was no follow-up, so he made a special trip to ask Xu Jie for this matter today, asking Xu Jie to deal with Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao who was the left minister of the Ministry of War.
After all, it involves a high-ranking official of the third rank, so naturally it will not be decided by him, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but by Xu Jie, who is in charge of the cabinet, to give his opinions on drafting the votes, and then the emperor will make the decision himself.
When Xu Jie heard that Wu Shan had come for this matter, he pondered for a moment and said: "Wu Shangshu, although Wei Shiliang is your favorite disciple, you can't believe what he says!"
"All the people involved have names that can be checked. They are definitely not just words. We can check the authenticity by checking the names!" Wu Shan shook his head gently and immediately said seriously.
Xu Jie's brows furrowed slightly, and he said earnestly and sincerely: "Even if it is true to withhold some military pay, Liaodong is now related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty, so we must not act rashly!"
"Master Yuanfu, it is precisely because Governor Ji Liao is in charge of an important town in the north of the Ming Dynasty, which is related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty, that we should appoint talented people instead of some corrupt and perverted people!" Wu Shan argued with reason.
Xu Jie secretly sighed and found that the eyes of the Minister of Civil Affairs could not tolerate sand at all. This deduction of military pay had been a common occurrence during Yan Song's time in power. Now Yang Xuan has restrained himself to some extent, but he still clings to this matter.
.
He knew that it was useless to talk about these things, so he used the procrastination trick and said: "You must listen to Yang Shangshu's opinion on the affairs of the Ministry of War. I will discuss it with Yang Shangshu and I will definitely come up with a proper way to handle it!"
Wu Shan's brows furrowed slightly. The direct descendants of Yang Xuan and Yang Bo, not to mention dealing with Yang Xuan, would even do everything possible to protect him. However, he still handed over his hands and said: "That's very good. I will wait patiently."
Good news!”
Because he was not very happy, Wu Shan simply handed him over and left.
When he walked out of the Wuyi Hall and saw someone building the Zichen Hall in front of him, Wu Shan couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.
Although this new Yuanfu is far easier to get along with than Yan Song, he is too all-rounded. Just like the "Licorice Pavilion Elder" given by his son-in-law, he is gentle and sweet to everyone, but he will not offend anyone, and in the end he does
Nothing happens.
Liaodong is of great importance, so one must be more cautious in selecting him. Just because Governor Ji Liao had a close relationship with Yang Bo, he did not have the courage to win, but dealt with it in all directions.
It was already late when he left Xiyuan. He did not return to the Libu Yamen, but went directly back to his home in Huaishu Hutong. Several people giving gifts appeared at the door.
Since he became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, there has been an endless stream of disciples and former officials who have come to visit him. In particular, many disciples who have returned to Beijing have come to visit him immediately and brought him some local specialties.
When he got off the sedan, he saw his wife and daughter coming out. He was already accustomed to his daughter's appearance. As Lin Haoran left the capital, his daughter would come back every few days to stay for a few days.
Wu Qiuyu had a bit more of a mother's temperament in her body, but she took out a letter from her arms and said seriously: "Dad, this is the letter from my husband!"
