Renzi Volume Chapter 121: Demarcate territory and seize power
Wu Daonan made such a suggestion so seriously that Feng Ziying was really stunned.
This seems to be the first time that I have heard that Mr. Fu Yin is concerned about the affairs of Shuntian Mansion since he became the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion. In the past, this man would either ignore it or say a few words indifferently.
I don't want to get involved in substantive government affairs at all, but today is a good thing, I actually took the initiative to ask questions.
"Your Majesty..." Feng Ziying was slightly surprised and hesitant, looked at the other party, and asked thoughtfully.
He was still a little unsure of Wu Daonan's intentions. Could it be that this man had gained the trust of Emperor Yonglong during his stay at Tiewang Mountain, and the Emperor suddenly wanted to entrust him with an important task?
Or have he been specifically given certain responsibilities and tasks?
Tuogu?
How can it be?
It doesn't look like it either.
There is nothing wrong with Wu Daonan's character, but he is not a practical person. Emperor Yonglong and all the ministers in the cabinet know this clearly. He is a typical example who is accomplished in literary talent and has a good reputation for character.
Literati, but when it comes to being an official, especially one who has to do practical work, I am afraid that anyone who can be named in the court will be better than him. How can he be assigned any special tasks at this time?
No matter how important matters like this were, Wu Daonan would not be able to turn around. There was no one in the court, and the relationship between Wu Daonan and Emperor Yonglong was not that close. The ministers in the cabinet, the seven ministers, and the ministers were infinitely better than him.
Several.
Wu Daonan also noticed Feng Ziying's doubts and coughed awkwardly.
He knew that he had been incompetent in his job as the governor of Shuntian in the past few years. He had already talked to Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe about changing positions, and also suggested that the Ministry of Rites should be considered. However, the two refused to adjust themselves, leaving themselves in this situation.
I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles in this position, but luckily Feng Ziying is here.
Seeing Feng Ziying doing things boldly, although he was a little unbalanced in his heart, he also knew that if he was allowed to do it, he would never be able to do it, so he simply stayed out of sight and out of mind, and did what he liked to do with peace of mind.
He only needs to take care of the poetry and literary gatherings, making friends with scholars, and the affairs of the government school. Feng Ziying can simply let Feng Ziying take care of the rest.
"Ziying, after the emperor was assassinated, I also talked with my colleagues in the DPRK and China at the Tiewan Mountain Palace. They were very worried about the unstable situation in the capital, especially our Shuntian Prefecture, which bore the brunt..."
Although Wu Daonan is not good at practical matters, he is not ignorant about current affairs. He also knows what is hidden behind the Xuanfu army's eastward advance. Once the emperor fails to wake up, it means that a confrontation between several princes and Prince Yi Zhong will form.
It may even evolve into a "Battle of Jingnan" or "Campaign to Seize the Gate" during the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the capital city of Shuntian Prefecture has become a key place.
Although there are Shangsanqinjun in the capital to control the defense, and there is Jizhen army outside, but when the emperor is unconscious, it is not as simple as Shangsanqinjun or Jizhen that can affect the situation in the DPRK. These generals
They lack autonomy and have to judge more based on changes in the DPRK situation. To be precise, they still have to look at the attitude of the DPRK and Chinese civil servants to decide which direction to follow.
There are also many factors that affect the direction of the DPRK. The social conditions and public opinion in Beijing, the public security situation, especially the attitudes of the royal relatives, scholars, martial arts, businessmen, and even common people will have an impact on the attitudes of the civil servants of the DPRK and China.
, even some factors that originally seemed insignificant will become a weather vane, or even a straw that affects the direction of the wind.
Under such circumstances, Wu Daonan did not expect that he would suddenly be able to exert his authority as the governor to strategize the affairs of the government office. Over the years, he had basically not been involved in the affairs of the government office. He did not understand the specific affairs.
He didn't even know how to deal with it, and there were not even a few people who could actually use it, so he was more worried that he knew nothing about the affairs of Shuntian Mansion. In the end, he, the governor, was so slow that he didn't even know when the curtain was finally lifted.
You know exactly what the content is going to be like. If that were the case, you would be too incompetent.
That's why he took the initiative to greet Feng Ziying, just to coordinate his position, um, to get some advance information so that he could keep up with the situation and avoid being passive.
"Your Excellency, you are very worried. Our Shuntian Mansion has a special status. We are right under the eyes of the imperial court. The slightest disturbance will attract the attention of the imperial court and the world. We do need to be cautious. However, under such circumstances, if we are not proactive, we may
Later, when we fell into a passive position, it would be difficult for us to answer the question if the court held us accountable."
Feng Ziying could roughly hear what Wu Daonan meant, but he still had to make sure.
This guy should have followed Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe in reasoning, so there should be no problem with this.
Although Ye Fang and Ye Fang respectively belong to the leaders of the Jiangxi scholars in Fujian and the Zhejiang scholars in Nanzhili, for now, they can only stick together to form a group of Jiangnan scholars who are Zhengshuo in the imperial court to fight against those who surround Yi.
The group of native Jiangnan scholars with Nanjing as the core around Prince Zhong.
However, although this guy has a good reputation, because of his poor actual ability, Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe did not seem to include him in their inner circle, and he occupied the position of Shuntian Fuyin in vain.
Feng Ziying guessed that Ye Fang and Ye Fang had not considered or reached an agreement on the candidate for Shuntian Prefecture. Maybe there were some other factors that delayed it. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for this guy to take this position.
But in general, it is a good thing for this guy to be the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. The current situation is turbulent, and it is impossible for the court to replace the governor of Shuntian Prefecture at this time. It can give himself more opportunities to control the real power of Shuntian Prefecture. And now Wu Daonan's performance
The attitude you come up with will allow you to better achieve this.
"Well, Ziying, the current situation in the government is in turmoil, and the three cabinet ministers are about to return to Beijing. The cabinet will definitely discuss follow-up matters, and there are probably a lot of affairs involving our Shuntian Mansion. You also know that I don't like vulgarity.
I’m afraid I’ll have to work hard for you in the future, but since I am the governor of Shuntian, there are many things that I can’t avoid, so I need you and me to work together and make progress together..."
Wu Daonan also took a lot of effort to arrange these words. He was afraid that Feng Ziying was too young and would not understand the meaning of his words, so he deliberately slowed down his speaking speed and kept changing his tone.
However, he soon realized that being able to sit in the position of Shuntian Prime Minister at the age of twenty, how could Feng Ziying be just a stupid young man who knew how to do things? His level of knowledge and expression was much better than the officials he had ever seen.
.
"Don't worry, my lord. I am a lowly official and I have no shirking responsibility. Of course, important matters must be reported to your lord for your decision in advance. Ordinary matters will also be handled properly and reported to your lord's knowledge..." Feng Ziying immediately took up the conversation.
Wu Daonan finally put a stone in his heart and nodded reservedly: "That's it. If you need my support, just say..."
Everyone is happy when they find their place.
For Feng Ziying, with Wu Daonan's full support, no matter whether it was Mei Zhiye or several general judges, if they wanted to make any trouble, he could punish him without mercy.
To put it bluntly, I can easily marginalize you. This is very different from before. This is where Fu Yin's power lies.
Wu Daonan was satisfied. He believed that Feng Ziying understood his intentions and would act in accordance with the agreement between the two parties.
As for Feng Ziying's various actions to seize power in the Shuntian government office, he didn't care at all.
He didn't want to work in Shuntian Mansion in the first place, and now it's even more dangerous. How can Feng Ziying stabilize the situation in Shuntian Mansion and prevent others from taking power?
What's more, he kept silent in the early stage and others used various means to use various tricks to play various tricks on the Shuntian Mansion Yamen. Wu Daonan knew that he couldn't do it, but he could see it.
Now it is just open to the public, which is also a necessary measure to survive this extraordinary period.
As for when the new Shuntian Prefecture Yin comes in the future and faces Feng Ziying who is already deeply rooted in Shuntian Prefecture, what does it have to do with Wu Daonan?
His Majesty the Emperor is unconscious. Doesn’t the capital of Gyeonggi need some special means to stabilize the overall situation?
If you have the ability, take it back. If you don't have the ability, learn from yourself. Wu Daonan is more open-minded than many people on this point.
After coming out of Wu Daonan's place, Feng Ziying finally felt relieved.
Although Wu Daonan did not interfere too much in his own affairs before, after all, he was the governor and the official seal official, and he was the deputy and the second assistant official. There was still a big gap between them, but now he is equivalent to clearly authorizing himself.
If there is no more constraining risk, then you can let your hands and feet go and do something big.
Regarding affairs between the DPRK and the Central Government, the most I can do is to help with my words and provide some opinions. Not to mention whether the Dukes of the DPRK will adopt them or not, even if they are adopted, I will not be able to implement them. This feeling is very unpleasant.
.
But now that he has Wu Daonan's support, at least in this three-acre area of Shuntian Mansion, he can act in accordance with his intentions with great fanfare.
When he returned to his side, he immediately called Li Wenzheng and Li Jianxing.
Wu Yaoqing still has to busy himself with other matters assigned by him. Feng Ziying also knows that she cannot always rely on Wu Yaoqing. Now that it is determined that she will work hard in Shuntian Mansion, and Wu Daonan is also ready to let go and support herself, Feng Ziying must consider
The entire government office should be used as much as possible.
Li Wencheng has been the prison secretary for many years, and now he has taken over as the clerk of the prison chamber, and he is even more dedicated. Li Jianxing has taken a big step forward from the prison clerk to the prison clerk. Both of them are grateful to Feng Ziying, and they have become Feng Ziying's official office in Shuntian Prefecture.
The two most core members.
These two people have been immersed in the Shuntian Mansion for more than twenty years, and are very familiar with the affairs of Shuntian Mansion. If we want to quickly and firmly control the power of the entire Shuntian Mansion, these two people are indispensable.
