Chapter 266 The new governor
Liu Yuanqiao planned so many and did so many shameful things just to become the governor of Denglai. At this moment, he took the initiative and prepared to go directly.
He also had two plans. One was to use local recommendations and court planning to make him the governor of Denglai and become a hero in one side. On the other hand, if the court recommendations could not be approved, he would control Denglai in the form of secret control and gain the military and political power of Denglai Town. Anyway, he had planned so much, and at this point, they had completed the control of the overall situation. They had both soldiers and money. It can be said that no one could stop them.
It can be said that if Liu Yuanqiao said no, no matter who came to Denglai Town, he would not be able to be the governor.
Just like the previous two governors, they all died of misfortune.
Liu Zeqiao is an eight-faced Buddha, but a powerful figure. Once he gets angry, no one can stop him.
In his words, that's what I want, no one can stop it.
So Liu Yuanqiao also felt a little unscrupulous. He entered Dengzhou at the instigation of the gentry and directly worked in the Dengzhou Governor's Office. Even if the court did not give him the position of Governor Denglai, he would still control the economic power here. Even if the governor comes in the future, he would have to obey his orders, otherwise he would not be the official.
Moreover, this time he also received strong support from local gentry and bosses, because local gentry also knew that even if the court sent a satisfactory governor, no matter how good his background and the ranking of Jinshi were, how many people could have the means of Youyuanqiao and the ability to govern like Liu Yuanqiao.
Now that things have come to this point, a situation has been created, that is, Dengzhou has left Liu Yuanqiao, and no one can play with it, because he has basically grasped the military and political power of Dengzhou, and at the same time he has also grasped the economic power. His status and power here can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai and incomparable.
First of all, their control over the army was no one could shake. It can be said that the military and political power in Dengzhou completely fell into their hands.
Others are unable to get involved and cannot take action. No matter who is the governor, they will probably face a problem, that is, they cannot command the army and have no money and food. The Liu family is different. They have only money and food. The gentry is just because the Liu family spent so much money on disaster relief this time. It is obvious that while they have ambition, they also know that they are willing to spend money for the people.
The bottom line of the Liu family is that they will give the people a way of survival while asking for money. Unlike Chen Yingyuan, Deng Bingwen and others, they just want to take over the power and do not give others a way of survival at all.
Under such circumstances, the local officials and gentry of Dengzhou represented by Jingyun Gong came to the conclusion that they wanted to revive Dengzhou and restore it to the past, and only by allowing Liu Yuanqiao to serve as the governor of Denglai.
Moreover, they were not saying it on the surface. However, in front of Liu Yuanqiao, the gentry in the area wrote letters to their friends and friends in the capital, asking them to speak good things for the Liu family and build momentum for him.
Liu Yuanqiao had already made some arrangements. If these measures were added, he would be very likely to fully realize his dream.
But he was worried that it would be too much or too little. After mobilizing so many things, would the emperor be suspicious of him? You should know that the emperor did not like local officials with too high prestige.
The court has always been so embarrassing in this regard, that is, it is that it hopes that local officials can control everything and dominate the overall situation, but at the same time, it does not want their prestige to affect the imperial power.
The Liu family, a native family, has roots in the Denglai area. As the top powers in the Denglai area, they have a great influence in the local area. If they are allowed to serve as the top leaders of military and political affairs, it means that their power in this place will be further expanded and infinitely expanded.
This should be what the ministers and ministers in the court are worried about.
However, their court did not have many choices. After all, Dengzhou had just emerged from the dilemma of civil rebellion, and he also needed a strong and powerful person to rectify and restore Dengzhou. One thing is undoubtedly, that is, if Liu Yuanqiao was not allowed to intervene in this matter, he would not be able to spend money and resources to support the restoration of Dengzhou area.
It is precisely because of this that the powerful people in Dengzhou hope that the Liu family will intervene in Dengzhou affairs and help the Dengzhou area restore its old views.
Last year, the Liu family spent a lot of money to rescue local disasters, which was a bit of a bribe to the court and was easily spoken badly. However, in the eyes of local gentry and the people, this is a charitable act of the thousands of families living in Buddhas. Everyone hopes that the Liu family can regard Dengzhou as their sphere of influence, and they will do their best to run the place.
Because of this reason, the local people in Dengzhou agreed unanimously, allowing him to intervene here and serve as the governor of Denglai.
By this time, Liu Yuanqiao was almost expected. You should know that the first two governors died in a bad life and died during their tenure. I believe that those who are capable of competing for this position will also face a dilemma of choice, that is, many people will understand that the Liu family regards Denglai as their belongings. No matter who dares to come, they will attract revenge and target from the Liu family. This place is a fertile land and a great place for the Liu family, but for those who are capable of serving as the governor, the world is so big that it is not good to be an official, and why should we go to this dilemma and dangerous place?
Because several consecutive Governors of Denglai have had problems, this has also made Governors of Denglai a dangerous profession. Without three points, they dare not go to Liangshan, and without extraordinary skills, they really dare not hold this position. Only Liu Yuanqiao, a big tiger, dares to have such a heroic spirit. If the high officials in the court do it, no one dares to take this position.
Sure enough, after the court received the news that the new governor Lin Ruonan was killed on the way to Jinan Prefecture, the court was very shocked, but they immediately began to discuss who would serve as the new governor.
In theory, the governors in the whole place have always been the prey of major parties and bigwigs, and the most popular fat. But this time, there was a little surprise, that was that no one competed or no one expressed interest. Everyone was a little cold-hearted in this matter, and some showed an unpositive side.
Whether it is the court recommendation of the Ministry of Personnel or the nomination of the cabinet, there are no strong people. You should know that with Lin Ruonan, three governors have died in three years and died in office. Such a dangerous place is really dangerous. Why should smart people lie in such a muddy water? Such a dangerous place? Therefore, after these qualified ministers received the recommendation of the Ministry of Personnel, they all declined and said that they were not capable enough, which made both the Ministry of Personnel and the cabinet very embarrassed and very shameless.
He also felt embarrassed, and Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but lament that the Ming Empire had a little sunset and a dusk feeling that the evening was hard to revive. A grand governor was killed on his way to his post. What a shocking event. As a result, the local government could not even find out anything. A governor was killed in the local area, but no one was concerned about it. In the end, it was left alone. Even the Ministry of Justice sent a specialist to investigate, but no one could find out anything.
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but lament that even the governor was like this, so what should those ordinary people do if they do?
But at this moment, they heard a great news, that is, the guerrilla general of Dengzhou, Liu Bu led his troops to return to Dengzhou quickly, and quelled the civil unrest in one day. At the same time, the Laizhou governor Liu Yuanqiaoyun went to a large amount of food to appease the local area and quickly stabilize the local area.
This is the most favorable news for the imperial court in recent times. The news received by the imperial court recently was nothing more than where they were occupied by bandits, where they were occupied by Jiannu, where they were occupied by rebels, and where they were occupied by rebels. The bandits were able to successfully recover lost land. This time, the official army was able to recover Dengzhou within a few days and quell the civil unrest. At the same time, the Laizhou prefect Liu Yuanqiao also transported a large amount of food to stabilize the place. This is great news.
From then on, Liu Yuanqiao officially came into the sight of all the big guys and was officially nominated by the Ministry of Personnel.
At this time, Liu Yuanqiao was a capable person in front of the imperial court boss, a person with outstanding means and excellent governance of the local area. The only three eastern prefectures, his own Laizhou Prefecture, was safe and sound, and had no civil rebellion, and had the ability to rescue other places in the local area. This proved his ability.
But the only drawback is his origin. His birth is just a prison student. He is already a high-level magistrate. If he is allowed to become a governor, it will not conform to the rules formed over the past few hundred years.
After discussing and discussing, they couldn't come up with a proper method. They had a few people with good backgrounds, and their articles were very good and their reputation was very good. They were very suitable for being the new governor of Denglai, but they were not very interested in this and refused and were unwilling to come.
The court promoted the official position and contacted the other party, hoping that the other party would be willing to take over before they would recommend it. What they feared most was the person recommended by the Ministry of Personnel, and the other party was not interested, so they would communicate in private. As a result, this time it was when the other party was communicated privately, and the other party was not interested at all.
