"Based on his age and physical condition, Mr. Bo Xiao is indeed a bit reluctant, but..." Zhu Zhiren couldn't help but shake his head. He was generally aware of the situation in Beijing, especially since he, as a member of the Huguang scholars, was about to enter Beijing.
A Qinggui of the third rank is naturally qualified to consider the interests of the entire Huguang scholar community as a member of the Huguang scholar community.
The Ministry of Personnel does not belong to Huguang scholars. It has always been produced only among northern scholars and Jiangnan scholars. Now, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, which are second only to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Hubu, are also controlled by Jiangnan scholars.
, none of the cabinet ministers were scholars from Huguang, so there were very few scholars from Huguang in the court.
Among the Huguang scholars in the court who could be regarded as equal to Zheng Jizhi, Chai Ke, Yang He, Xiong Tingbi, Yang Lian, Mei Zhihuan and others were the only ones who were barely qualified to succeed him, but now Chai Ke was regarded as the most powerful person in the Ministry of War.
The mainstay, I originally thought that Zhang Jingqiu could enter the cabinet, so it would be logical for Chai Ke to take over the position of Minister of War. However, I never thought that Li Sancai would squeeze Zhang Jingqiu out of the cabinet. Zhang Jingqiu could only continue to linger in the position of Minister of War, which also made Chai Ke take over.
Ke cannot take over.
In fact, Chai Ke could also serve as Minister of the Ministry of Justice or the Ministry of Industry, but Chai Ke was skilled in military affairs, especially now that internal and external troubles were prominent. The cabinet still wanted Chai Ke to stay in the Ministry of War, but Zhang Jingqiu had no place to go, so he kept asking.
"Your Majesty, there will definitely be a round of major personnel changes in the imperial court after the new year. If your Majesty can enter the capital, it will be considered as your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, right?" Feng Ziying is not willing to say more on such issues, after all, these matters are not his turn yet.
It's easy for a junior to interrupt. Other specific matters are easy to talk about. Once you say it, you can say it. If you say it well, it can be adopted. However, when it comes to hiring people, no matter who you are, they will never accept what you say just because it makes sense.
In fact, when it comes to issues such as employment, it is difficult to say who is superior and who is inferior, right and wrong. Among officials of the fourth and fifth grades, or even higher-level officials of the second and third grades, which one is mediocre?
Ideas, opinions, qualifications, talents, abilities, place of origin, and connections are all indispensable. Only when they are consistent in all aspects, will people recommend them and have a chance to win in this game. Of course, whether you can win in the end depends on it.
It depends on the outcome of the game between all parties, which means there is still some luck involved.
Just like Li Sancai, Zhang Jingqiu and Zhang Huaichang are all vying for cabinet ministers. Zhang Jingqiu has the trust of Emperor Yonglong and is the most competitive. However, precisely because he is too close to Emperor Yonglong, it is easy for others to compete for him.
He was known as the emperor's personal minister, so he was the first to be eliminated. None of the other cabinet ministers supported him, including Qi Yongtai, who usually had many opinions.
Although Zhang Huaichang was recommended by Qi Yongtai, the position of Zuodu censor was originally an offending position, and Zhang Huaichang had a tough and tough temperament, so Emperor Yonglong thought that he was more suitable to stay in office. Of course, the more important thing was that Li Sancai's savvy contingency also made Emperor Yonglong
In addition, three ministers from the south of the Yangtze River tried their best to recommend him, and Li Sancai mentioned that he was a scholar from the north, so in the end Qi Yongtai was forced to hold his nose and admit it.
Without the recommendation of any existing cabinet minister, he is not eligible to join the cabinet. This is the established practice of the Zhou cabinet. The same is true for the six ministers, the minister, the left and right censors, and the left and right deputy censors. If there is no nomination from the cabinet minister,
Therefore, they are not eligible to enter the joint inspection process between the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. On the contrary, the General Secretary, who is also a third-rank official, does not need to be recommended by the cabinet ministers, as long as he is nominated by the Ministry of Personnel.
In a sense, the most important authority of a cabinet minister is the power to recommend and nominate personnel, which is also what Huguang scholars are most worried about.
Currently, none of the five cabinet ministers are from Huguang. This means that if Huguang scholars want to be officials of the third rank or above, it is much more difficult to get nominations and recommendations than those from Beidi and Jiangnan. Of course, in
Regarding the nomination of officials of third rank and above, the nominations of cabinet ministers are not so narrow-minded, and generally speaking, they will not deliberately try to embarrass anyone, but it still makes people feel a little uncomfortable after all.
"Well, I would be satisfied if I could serve in the capital." Zhu Zhiren did not shy away. "It doesn't matter to me whether it's Taipu Temple or Guanglu Temple. These six years of Yongping have been a time for me to work hard. Fortunately, this
Year Ziying, you are here, otherwise I would really feel that I would not be able to survive."
Zhu Zhiren was telling the truth. If Feng Ziying hadn't come, there would have been so many disasters in the past six months, and he would have either taken the initiative to become an official or resigned to join the job.
"Your Majesty, you are too humble. Ziying is just assisting your Majesty in handling matters. Without your guidance, Ziying would be confused about many matters and would not know where to start. Speaking of which, Ziying would also like to thank you for your support this year.
Only through my guidance can I learn many essences that others may not be able to teach.”
Feng Ziying’s words also came from the bottom of her heart.
Because he knew that he would have to leave sooner or later, Zhu Zhiren did not hold back anything. He taught everything he could and even began to transfer some of his personal connections and subordinates to Feng Ziying in a subtle way.
This is rare in other places. It can be regarded as a reward from Zhu Zhiren to Feng Ziying. Of course, he also intends to arrange follow-up arrangements for some of his subordinates.
Zhu Zhiren nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
Zhu Zhiren was very pleased with Feng Ziying's modest attitude. There were rumors in the capital city that Feng Ziying was too famous and had become a leader of young scholars in the North, but she was very aloof and unconventional. Many literary and poetry societies in the capital city invited her to attend, but
They were all flatly rejected by him.
From the time he passed the Jinshi examination to being a Shujishi and then to the Hanlin Academy, he did not participate in a literary poetry meeting in the past few years. Whether it was held by the princes or some celebrities and gentry, he did not participate in it. This is natural.
It also caused some people to be dissatisfied. Fortunately, he did not participate at all, and everyone was treated equally, so although there was some dissatisfaction, it did not develop to the point of criticizing and slandering.
As Feng Ziying spoke, she also browsed the official letter Zhu Zhiren handed him.
It is an official letter from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and it also contains an official document from the Changludu Salt Transfer Department. The content is very simple. It hopes that the Yongping Prefecture will investigate and deal with the local evil gentry who colluded with Japanese pirates to invade and plunder the Changludu Salt Transfer Department.
Regarding the salt farm incident, several people were directly mentioned in the letter, and it was also pointed out that bandit gentry, including Laoting, were involved.
"Zhang Shenyan has been appointed as the censor of Changlu Xunyan?" Feng Ziying was slightly surprised.
"Why, Ziying, you went back to Beijing and you didn't know?" Zhu Zhiren smiled, "Well, as for theory, you should go and visit him. He is Ru Jungong's favorite disciple, so he has some connection with you.
.”
"What Mr. Fu Zun said is wrong. Brother Jin Ming is from the same hometown as Master Qiao. Brother Jin Ming is from Zezhou, but he is not a student of Master Qiao." Feng Ziying explained: "Brother Jin Ming is also a serious person. Master Qiao
I admire him very much, but I didn't expect that the job of Changlu's salt inspector would fall into his hands. If it had been ten years earlier, this position would have been a good one, but in the past few years, Changlu's salt inspection department has been running poorly, and the problem is
There are quite a few complaints from the local officials in the North, which is probably why the imperial court asked Brother Jin Ming to serve as the Salt Patrol Censor."
"Well, I am very familiar with this Yushi Zhang, but the matter of the Huimin Salt Farm has indeed come to be dealt with." Zhu Zhiren pondered and said: "After many twists and turns, both Hubu and Changlu transferred the salt envoys
Sidu has written to the court several times to criticize our government. Although our government has been somewhat unjust, but you and I are the only ones here, I have to say that the Yongping government does have some responsibilities."
Zhu Zhiren's words surprised even Feng Ziying, and she didn't speak for a while.
"The common people in Yong are strong and powerful, and the evil gentry is very powerful in the countryside. If we talk about Lulong and Qian'an, Ziying should have felt it, but it is even worse in Changli and Leting." Zhu Zhiren sighed,
"At the beginning, I also admitted that I wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the evil gentry in Changli who were causing trouble. However, the collusion between the county and these local wealthy families was too deep and it was always difficult to eradicate them. Instead, they often used various forces to spread rumors and slander in Beijing.
For me, it made me very confused..."
Zhu Zhiren had some words that he didn't say out loud. The Metropolitan Procuratorate didn't have a strong enough backer, so in the face of such continuous harassment and complaints, he would definitely take action, and by that time, it would be very likely that he would get messed up by not eating mutton.
So sexy.
But now the situation is different. Feng Ziying came to Qian'an with great force, and was highly praised by the emperor and the cabinet in Beijing. Not to mention that the capital procuratorate also had its benefactor Qiao Yingjia as the left deputy capital censor.
Qi Yongtai is his master, and the reputation he has gained alone is enough to make everyone think twice.
As for the ordinary false accusations and slanders, they are nothing to Feng Ziying, and may even be investigated and investigated. This is something that no one, including Zhu Zhiren himself, feels inferior to.
"The Lord Fu Zun means..."
"It's time to take action." Zhu Zhiren nodded heavily, "In fact, the Benevolent Salt Farm involves several households in Leting and Changli. Everyone knows it well. It is not difficult to find out who is the leader. The key lies in how to eliminate the Japanese pirates.
Also fish them out and capture them in one fell swoop, let them confirm each other, and never let this group of people get away easily."

Before Feng Ziying could reply, Zhu Zhiren said with a mysterious expression: "Ziying, I believe you should be prepared. I know those around you are not ordinary people. I thought they were the bodyguards you specially invited, but
Now it seems that you have been working hard for a long time."
Feng Ziying did not hide anything, "Master Fu, I did have some understanding before, but at that time, I wanted more to protect myself and avoid being framed by anyone."
In fact, Wu Yaoqing had already worked hard on Laoting and Changli in accordance with Feng Ziying's request. Some of the things he had mastered were probably deeper than Zhu Zhiren's.
