Of course, whether it is Liu Yuanqiao, Zheng Zhibao, they are all members of the Ming Dynasty's court system, and they cannot be right about this system.

They could only engage in soft confrontation with their superiors according to the rules of the court system.

If there is a tough confrontation, it will rebel like Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong.

Chen Yingyuan was helpless to see such soft confrontation among his subordinates. As the governor of Denglai, he was very glorious, but he has discovered one thing now, that is, he has not received support from the court and cannot do anything. He can't go into battle to kill the enemy by himself, right?

He also knew that this situation was not only here, but also here in the Ming Dynasty.

Even now, the Jiannu power is becoming increasingly powerful and the bandits are becoming more and more numerous, which is also a product of this system.

Only when the soldiers fight desperately and have bandits to suppress can they receive the full military pay and food issued by the court. If the soldiers are not worth it, they will be deducted from the military pay by the officials, and they will go hungry. In this case, whoever will fight hard is to raise the bandits and respect themselves, so that there will be no situation of a rabbit dead and a dog cooking.

Therefore, it was also the vicious cycle caused by this system that caused the situation in the Ming Dynasty to worsen to the point where it is today. Chen Yingyuan understood these things very well. He hated this system deeply, but he was helpless and full of powerlessness in it.

He was willing to do things, but he was ridiculed as a mediocre and incompetent person. He studied hard for ten years, was a top student in the high school and was very talented. He had thought of using his talents to manage his family and govern the country and become a famous minister of a generation. But now all he can do is an old man in the officialdom, and he has become the person he despised and hated the most.

Chen Yingyuan had no choice but to write to the court to ask for help. Since he was powerless in this position, he had to write to resign.

This is also a way out for him. The only way out is to retreat. He doesn't want to die directly in this position like his ex. Since he found that things were impossible, he would simply retreat bravely, and he could also get a result of retreating freely and preserve his reputation.

Chen Yingyuan also thought about it. There are still a few days left for the New Year. Most departments of the court have already prepared to seal and leave. His letter to the court will probably be approved. However, after a set of procedures, it is probably already the eighth year of Chongzhen. He will retire gloriously in the position of governor in the eighth year of Chongzhen, and return directly to the countryside, pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely see the southern mountains.

However, one more confirmation is that there is no secret in the Ming Dynasty. The bigger the government, the more it is, the more it is.

Only after the governor wrote the resignation memorial, he stamped the official seal, and sent it out in the form of a post station. The news spread throughout the governor's yamen, and quickly spread throughout the three eastern prefectures, and throughout the officialdoms in Shandong.

The governor was originally a cold stove, but now no one is coming to burn it.

Liu Yuanqiao was one of the first people to get the news. After all, he was a person with a strange intention. He had always set up a spy in the governor's yamen. His spy would spread this matter to him as quickly as possible.

He was not surprised when he heard the governor resignation. If he was like him, he would probably choose the same method. Since he was helpless and could not use it, why not retreat bravely? It is also a solution.

However, after Governor Chen Yingyuan left office, the power vacuum created by him was what they were ambitious people who had to consider.

It is almost the twelfth lunar month now. After the twelfth lunar month, they began to prepare to seal the official seal and prepare to go to bed for the New Year. In other words, everything must be handled after the eighth year of Chongzhen and reopened the seal.

Liu Yuanqiao was not immune to the common people. After arranging the affairs related to the yamen, he also arranged the left-behind personnel during the Chinese New Year. He also sealed the official seal and returned to his hometown to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

If it were other prefects, they would definitely not go home for the New Year. They still went to work for the New Year. However, Liu Yuanqiao was slightly different. He just worked in his hometown, which was just a trip for more than a day. It was so close that it was a bit unfilial to not go home for the New Year.

Not only did Liu Yuanqiao seal the official seal and go home for the New Year, but even after Liu Bu made enough arrangements, he also returned to the Liu family mansion in Fushan to celebrate the New Year.

This was the first year after he got married and the first year since his rebirth, which made him full of expectations.

When Liu Bu returned to the Liu family mansion, the Liu family mansion had been redecorated and decorated with red colors. It was very lively and festive. In fact, after they got married last time, many things were not removed at all. They were all ready-made. They just changed the couplets. In the past, the couplets were used for getting married, but now the couplets were welcomed for spring and blessings, but they were just the same festive. The red lanterns, the children running around from time to time, and the sound of firecrackers from time to time were filled with the festive atmosphere.

When Liu Bu returned home, his father Liu Yuanqiao also came back. When he was in the gatehouse, he saw his father Liu Yuanqiao's horse team, and he also arrived that day.

After Liu Bu arrived, he was immediately invited to Liu Yuanqiao's study to discuss major events.

Liu Yuanqiao was drinking hot tea in his study. He had just arrived. He had just changed his official uniform and changed into Yanju's casual clothes. Then Liu Bu arrived while reading a book.

Liu Bu sat down respectfully after visiting the ceremony. Liu Yuanqiao first asked about his military training and military preparations. When the father and son talked, it was inevitable that they would talk about the resignation of the governor of Denglai Chen Yingyuan. This matter is also the biggest melon in the East Three Prefectures.

Liu Bu said: "Chen Yingyuan, a hollow boss, has left. I wonder which adult will be appointed. Dad, do you have a chance?"

Liu Yuanqiao said: "At present, there should be no chance. My father's background is destined to be difficult to defend the Mu side. Unless there is a special situation, it will be no exception."

Liu Bu also asked casually that he had been reborn for almost half a year. He also knew the rules of this era, and that this era was basically the same as that of the Song Dynasty. That is, those who are not born in Jinshi are not allowed to be beautiful officials. To put it bluntly, they are not born in Jinshi. If you want to be a better official position, it is impossible. Like his current position, it is the pinnacle of his career in the officialdom.

Liu Bu also felt a pity. If his father could become the governor of Denglai, their Liu family would have gone to a higher level, but when he thought about it, he felt it was unlikely that his father's position had just been obtained, and he could only say that he had just sat on the hot side.

Moreover, the Governor Denglai is a third-rank official, but he is the highest local official. He, a fourth-rank prefect, has too little qualifications to seek this position. This is his father's fault. If there were no such flaws, he would have used some money to operate the court, and maybe he could make a difference.

Liu Bu said: "Dad, who do you think is most likely to take over this position?"

Liu Yuanqiao said: "There are many people who are targeting the position of governor Denglai, but those who are capable are just those. Now the local chaos is in chaos, and the possibility of the imperial court transferring from other places is not high. It will only be selected among local officials."

Liu Bu said: "The most likely local officials should be the Shandong Left Government Administrator Lao Yongjia. Lin Ruonan also has the opportunity. After all, he also has the title of Shandong Right Political Consultative Conference, and his master is Wen Tiren, the current capital, so it is still possible to go further."

Liu Yuanqiao said, "You have a good analysis, and I think so too for my father. The biggest possibility is that it is produced by the two of them."

Liu Bu felt that it was inappropriate, and he said, "Dad, we must stop this matter. Whether it is Lord Lao or Lord Lin, the relationship with our Liu family is very bad. When they come, they will not do anything other than suppressing our Liu family. This is simply making us feel uncomfortable."

Liu Yuanqiao said: "It's already done, but in the end, it should still be among the two."

Liu Bu felt a little disappointed and worried about the future when his father said this. Although the Liu family was so glorious, the governor of Denglai was their political enemy and he still targeted them with strong force, which was not a good thing for them.

Liu Bu was full of worry, but Liu Yuanqiao felt that there was nothing to worry about. He said: "Our Liu family has almost achieved great success. No matter who is going to be the governor of Denglai, we must act according to our expressions, otherwise he will not be the official."

Liu Bu saw his father speak so confidently. He said, "What should we do?" After all, these days, they are not afraid of officials, but only for control. Of course, the governor is their immediate superior. He asked them to wear small shoes and make them sad, which is just a matter of one sentence.

Liu Yuanqiao said: "No matter who comes to Denglai, if you want to do things, you must mobilize the local power and mobilize the local power. Without our nodding, it would be impossible."

Liu Bu said, "These two are different. Chen Yingyuan is the political enemy of the chief minister, Lord Wen, and is suppressed by Lord Wen everywhere. Lao Yongjia and Lin Ruonan have a close relationship with Wen Xianggong. One is his fellow villager and the other is his seated disciple. He will definitely pay full support. With the full support of the court, our Liu family will be suppressed, which is expected."

Liu Yuanqiao drank tea leisurely and said, "Don't worry about your New Year. No matter who comes here, he will be unstable in the position of governor of Denglai without the support of our Liu family."
