Xinzi Scroll, The Tree of the Setting Sun, Section 7: Vibration
Jia Zheng's group of Qingke ministers have been increasing in number in the past six months. After learning that Jia Zheng might be appointed as an academic administrator in Jiangxi, they invited their friends and companions to come here.
Jia Zheng's Qing guest ministers were only three or four, such as Shan Pinren, Zhan Guang, Bu Guxiu and Cheng Rixing. Later, Hu Silai also came. Ji Haogu and Wang Erdiao learned that Jia Zheng was going to serve as the academic administrator of Jiangxi.
Later, Shan Pinren and Cheng Rixing summoned him, and Jia Zheng's Qingke ministers increased to seven.
These Qing Kes had been in Jia's house for many years, and although they could not be said to have followed Jia Zheng just for food and clothing, they had rarely made a fortune. Now they suddenly heard that Jia Zheng was going to be sent out to serve as an academic administrator of a province, and all of them's eyes turned red.
They were all gearing up, preparing to follow Jia Zheng to Jiangxi to work hard, make a lot of money, and enjoy all the glory and wealth.
The academic administration of a province is in charge of the scientific examinations and education of the entire province. If it can be run well, there is a lot of money to be made here. Although all the Qingke ministers have never passed the scientific examinations, there are a few who have.
Those who have passed the scholar examination and participated in the Autumn Palace Competition are familiar with the rules and know the depth of the skills here. In a word, there is a lot to be done.
It's just that Jia Zheng has not left Beijing to take office, which also makes several Qing guests and ministers feel on pins and needles. Therefore, during this period, several people have been waiting in the mansion at any time. When they learned that Jia Zheng returned to the mansion, they came to inquire about the news, but they never came to this honor.
Suddenly such news was heard in Xitang.
"Shuntian Fu Cheng?!" Everyone was shocked and speechless, and for a while they didn't even dare to interrupt.
Even in this capital city, Shuntian Fu Cheng is a prominent position, and he can speak with his chest straight when facing the ministers and ministers in the court.
After hanging out in the capital for so many years, these Qingke husbands were actually quite mobile. For example, Hu Silai once worked as an aide for a certain Yuanwai Lang in the Ministry of Justice, but he left because he thought the other party was too stingy, while Ji Haogu and Wang Er
Before being transferred to Rongguo Mansion, one was a retainer of a certain county prince, and the other served as a teacher in the home of a certain squire in the capital.
They may not know much about the general affairs of the DPRK, but they are extremely proficient and sensitive to personnel changes and power rankings in Beijing.
Putting aside the court officials, the power structure in the capital city is nothing more than a few parts, Shuntian Prefecture and Wanping, Daxing County, the City Patrol Censor and the Five-City Military and Horse Division, the Patrol Battalion, and Long Jinwei's Northern Command.
Zhenfu Division, plus the Beijing Camp, the Four Guards Camp, the Warriors Camp and other troops.
Long Jinwei generally does not get involved in ordinary affairs, and the Beijing Camp, the Four Guards Camp, and the Warrior Camp belong to the military system, so it is difficult for outsiders to get involved, but it is impossible for them to come out casually.
Then the most powerful ones are the Shuntian Prefecture and the two counties, the censor of the city, the Wucheng Army and Horses Division and other direct management agencies.
The patrol censors are in charge of the five-city military division and the patrol battalion, but their scope of power is relatively narrow and is mainly limited to public security. However, the powers involved in Shuntian Prefecture and the two counties are broader, and they are in charge of the world, land, civil affairs, water conservancy, etc.
Taxation, horse administration, public security litigation, everything is covered, but the two counties are more focused on specific affairs, while Shuntian Prefecture has much greater power.
The powers and responsibilities of the five-city military division and patrol battalion are also intertwined with those of the Sunchon Prefecture and the two counties. However, in general, the final affairs will still fall to the local government for final settlement. Therefore, it can be said that the Shuntian Prefecture is the most powerful in the Gyeonggi Province.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an important institution, otherwise Fu Yin would not be an important member of the third rank.
In a sense, Shuntian Prefecture Yin, who was both a third-rank official and Pinyi, had greater influence than an ordinary minister.
"Cun Zhougong, if this matter is true, it will be a great thing for the Jia family. It's just that Feng Langjun went to Yongping Mansion to serve as a co-president for only one year, right? According to the standard of 'big plan', time and qualifications
It’s far from enough, and the Tongzhi of Yongping Prefecture is the fifth rank, and the Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister is the fourth rank. It is unheard of to be promoted across two levels in one year."
Cheng Rixing is obviously a relatively powerful voice in this group. He and Shan Pinren were the first to follow Jia Zheng, followed by Bu Guxiu and Zhan Guang. Hu Silai, Ji Haogu and Wang Erdiao were all latecomers.
.
As soon as Cheng Rixing spoke, Shan Pinren immediately responded and expressed a different attitude: "Rixing's words are wrong. Feng Langjun is the proud disciple of Qige Lao, and even a closed disciple. Not to mention his background as a minister of the Ministry of Officials of Qi Ge, Feng Langjun
Although you were promoted to the Imperial Academy as a second-class scholar, this honor was also unprecedented, and Feng Langjun was highly valued by the emperor. Didn't Rixing know about the situation in Yongping Mansion last year? The Battle of Qian'an
He defeated the Mongols to their death, and Feng Langjun also single-handedly went to negotiate with the Mongolian noble chief and made great contributions to the imperial court in redeeming more than 60,000 soldiers in the capital camp. Is it possible that the imperial court is indifferent to such a huge function? "
Shan Pinren and Cheng Rixing have now become the two "leaders" of Jia Zhengqing's Kexiang Gongmen. Bu Guxiu has a good relationship with Cheng Rixing, while Zhan Guang has a close relationship with Shan Pinren, Hu Silai has both sides, and Ji Haogu and Wang Erdiao
We haven't figured out the situation yet, so we don't dare to stand aside easily.
"Feng Langjun did perform well as the magistrate of Yongping Prefecture, but he has only been there for a year. According to the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he can only be included in the inspection after three years. Moreover, Feng Langjun was writing in the Hanlin Academy a year ago.
At that time, I was only promoted from a sixth-grade official to a Tongzhi in Yongping Prefecture, which was a three-level promotion. Now one year has passed and I have to be promoted to two more levels. Even the old disciples of Qi Ge will find it difficult to convince the public." Cheng Riching told the court.
I am very familiar with these regulations and conventions. "If I stay until the three-year term expires, it is very possible."
"What Brother Rixing said is true. Although Qi Ge Lao is very powerful in the current imperial court, the first and second assistants are Jiangnan scholars, and the new official minister, Mr. Huang, is also a Fujian scholar. This is too much.
It may be difficult for such a shocking promotion to win the approval of the imperial court." Bu Guxiu also echoed Cheng Riching's words.
"Brother Gu Xiu, I'm afraid you don't know something. Mr. Huang, the new Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was previously the Minister of Rites in charge of the Hanlin Academy. He had a particularly close relationship with Feng Langjun when he was in the Hanlin Academy. In addition, how could the first and second assistants because of Feng Langjun?
Are you still arguing with Mr. Qi Ge about Lang Jun? You must know that Feng Langjun solved the problem of redeeming soldiers from the Beijing camp, and also helped hundreds of thousands of refugees from Shuntian Prefecture go to Yongping to make a living. Emperor Long Yan was so happy that he wrote "Today"
"News" also published it, saying that Feng Langjun is a minister of the country. Under such circumstances, how can Ye Fang not understand current affairs?"
When Zhan Guang saw Bu Guxiu joining the battle group, he immediately stepped forward to defend Shan Pinren.
Jia Zheng did not expect that such a piece of news would actually lead to an argument among his own Qingke husbands. But thinking about it, the status of Shuntian Fu Cheng is really extraordinary. A fourth-rank official has no regard for life.
For the gentry, merchants and common people in the capital city, they are probably a little more prominent than the prefects in ordinary places.
After all, for the common people at the emperor's feet, they are all country bumpkins outside the capital city. Even if you are a second-rank chief envoy, it has nothing to do with me, but it has a lot to do with Shuntian Fu Cheng.
"Okay, everyone, don't argue anymore. I still heard the news in the ministry. I am afraid that Ziying's return to Beijing is true." Jia Zheng put away his complicated emotions and waved his hand, "I just
I have some feelings that Ziying has grown up so fast that it is a bit confusing. A few years ago, she was a weak young man. She was a bit shy when she came to our Rongguo Mansion. Now she has become the Prime Minister of our Shuntian Mansion.
, I really find it a bit incredible.”
"Cun Zhougong, if this is really the case, it will be a great joy. You are going to Jiangxi soon. I am also thinking about who will take care of you once you leave the Rongguo Mansion. Now, if Feng Langjun can come back
Beijing, and becoming the parent official of our capital city, that's no problem." Shan Pinren became more and more proud and excited, "I had the pleasure to see Feng Langjun when he came to our Rongguo Mansion several times before. He is indeed majestic and heroic.
He is an extraordinary handsome man. At first glance, he looks like a high-spirited man leaping over the Yuan Dynasty. Now it is just as I expected..."
Cheng Rixing frowned because of Shan Pinren's fear of flattery. In fact, he was not disgusted with Feng Ziying's promotion. He was just worried that if such news was false, it would be too disappointing. Now Shan Pinren has robbed him.
First of all, naturally he will not show weakness: "Feng Langjun has long been famous in Beijing for his extraordinary talent. Miss Baochai has already married Feng Langjun. Next year, Miss Lin will also marry into the Feng family. Our Rongguo Mansion will work with Feng Langjun."
The family is both prosperous and devastated, so Duke Cunzhou should go first to express his congratulations..."
While speaking, everyone couldn't help but cheer for joy. Shuntian Fu Cheng, in the future, I will be able to speak loudly when I go out. I am also the one who can speak in front of Feng Fu Cheng.
While the group of people were sighing and sighing, they saw someone walking in quickly from outside the door. It was Jia Zheng's most proud disciple Fu Shi.
Fu Shi came less often in the past year or two, but in the past six months he has been going to Rongguo Mansion more frequently. Naturally, it was related to Jia Zheng's possible appointment as Jiangxi Academic Affairs Officer. But seeing Fu Shi come in in such a hurry, Jia Zheng
He immediately understood that this visit was probably related to himself.
"Fu Shi has met Mr. Boss." Fu Shi came in and saluted. Jia Zheng smoothed his beard and nodded, "Qiu Sheng, sit down."
Fu Shi, also known as Qiu Sheng, was also Jia Zheng's most proud disciple in his life. Although he had never passed the Jinshi examination, he had passed the Juren examination. He had been a Daxing county magistrate in the past few years, and Jia Zheng had passed the imperial examination through the prince two years ago.
After clearing up the relationship and working hard on his own, Fu Shi was finally promoted to the position of general magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture.
Shuntian Prefecture now has five general judges. According to the Dazhou regulations, the general judges of Shuntian Prefecture and Yingtian Prefecture are the sixth grade, and the number of officials varies from three to six. Now Fu Shi is a recommendation official of Shuntian Prefecture, which can be regarded as a quite good one.
Somewhat powerful.
In the past, Fu Shi had to be reserved, but this time, Fu Shi didn't sit still and asked directly: "Have you ever heard that Mr. Feng is about to serve as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion!"
