Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 507: Entering Baoshan empty-handed, feeling itchy and unbearable
"The situation in Ningbo is relatively simple. Wei Guozhen, the prefect, has not had close contact with the Tang family. It can be said that they just got on the line and accepted bribes of three thousand taels.
······" Chai Ke is indispensable, "Shuxiang also said that this person is a pity, and his ability is not bad. It turns out that he is the prefect of Yongzhou, Huguang,..."
"The prefect of Jinhua, Zhen Yinghui, has been vacant for more than a month since he was captured. We can't delay it any longer. The Zhejiang Provincial Envoy Department has sent an official letter here. The words are very polite, but the implication is that he urges Ruo Ruo to finalize it as soon as possible.·
·
"The problems in Ningguo Mansion are very complicated. The three consecutive prefects have received many reports, and the same is true for Tong Zhi and the promotion of officials. However, in the past two years of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, Shuxiang has been unable to do anything. He can only tolerate it temporarily. Now he can finally
I feel so proud and excited. The former prefect of Ningguo Prefecture was transferred to the prefect of Chizhou Prefecture. There is also a high-ranking Shandong Chengxuan government envoy, Si You, who is participating in politics. This is not a good thing. He has knocked them all down with one blow..."
Chai Ke didn't have much cover in front of Feng Ziying, and he also understood some of Feng Ziying's thoughts. In fact, who came to him in the past few days was not because of this round of personnel changes in Jiangnan?
So far, in the four provinces of Nanzhi, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi alone, there are eight prefectures with major problems. Some of them are taking back bribes and bending the law for personal gain, some are colluding with powerful people to kill people, and some are being manipulated and left to eat.
"Ziying, I have said so much, and you probably know something about it. You can go and talk to Liu Ji Gong yourself. You have to have a suitable candidate for me. Let's talk about it. But don't be too ambitious. That's Liu Ji Gong.
Over there, some positions cannot be decided casually, and you have to talk to those in Beijing, such as the prefect of Yangzhou, the prefect of Huzhou, and the prefect of Ningbo."
Chai Ke's tone was very casual, "Is it those classmates or the people from Shaanxi?"
Feng Ziying also knew that he could not hide it from Chai Ke. Of course, he had no intention of hiding it from Chai Ke. As the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he had to go through the appointment and dismissal of all these officials. Even though he did not play a decisive role in important positions, he still had considerable influence.
Influence, and generally officials from the fourth rank or below have a great say.
For Feng Ziying, he didn't expect too much. If he could negotiate several positions through this round of communication, he would have achieved his goal.
What he was considering was whether He Fengsheng, Wu Di, Fan Jingwen and Fang Youdu could take up positions in Jiangnan, as well as several candidates from Shaanxi.
Neither He Fengsheng nor Fan Jingwen were from Jiangnan, so they did not need to seek refuge. Moreover, they had been serving in Shuntian Prefecture for three years, and they were Jinshi scholars, so they were eligible for promotion.
Although Wu Di and Fang Youdu are from Jiangnan, Wu Di is from Xinghua, Yangzhou, and Fang Youdu is from Shexian, Huizhou. This round of personnel adjustments also involves Zhejiang and Jiangxi and Fujian, so the two of them can also be considered.
Served in Zhejiang and Fujian and Jiangxi.
"Wen Tingshou, the magistrate of Yanzhou, is a shrewd man and decisive in his actions. I think that after the Ningguo Mansion is going through this turmoil, it needs a character with strong skills and courage to calm the situation."
Wen Tingshou, the magistrate of Langzhou, and Yuan Wanquan, the magistrate of Jiazhou, were two officials whom Feng Ziying had not had time to adjust before leaving Shaanxi. However, these two seemed to have recognized Feng Ziying, so they sent people to visit Feng Ziying twice last year and this year.
It's just that Feng Ziying went to Liaodong at the end of the year and failed to see him. In the first half of this year, he also sent the so-called Bing Jing, which made Feng Ziying feel very grateful. Chai Ke nodded slightly. There must be no problem in recommending people, but whether they are suitable for a certain position, then
Not necessarily.
"Yuan Wanquan, the magistrate of Jiazhou, is experienced and reserved in character."
Chai Ke silently took note of the people recommended by Feng Ziying. Apart from those Feng Ziying's classmates, Chai Ke was actually more willing to be optimistic about these two people who had served as magistrates of counties and prefectures for many years.
Especially in a place like Yan'an Prefecture, where the poor mountains and rivers breed unruly people, it is a great challenge to the abilities of officials.
Looking at the civil unrest in Shaanxi the year before last, it basically spread from northern Shaanxi. It is really not easy to be able to serve as chief officials in these states and counties without being coerced and annihilated.
"Ziying, Fang Youdu is the head of the Criminal Department, and he is willing to go out? This is not easy, but he has no experience in working in the local area. I think he can go to Zhejiang to apply for a job.
I went to the Xingjingchao Si to do some work, and by the way, I went to the Military Preparation Road to serve as a military preparation officer, which can be regarded as more experience..."
The promotion of punishment and inspection envoy Si Jinshi is the fifth rank. From the sixth rank of the chief of the punishment department to the fifth rank of the punishment and inspection envoy Si Qianshi, two consecutive promotions are considered reasonable for officials from the capital.
But for officials like Wen Tingshou and Yuan Wanquan, even if you do a good job and have merit, you can only be promoted to one level according to the rules. Of course, for them, this promotion is just one level. From Shaanxi
When you get to the south of the Yangtze River, you will really be jumping into the rice basket.
"Wen Tingshou and Yuan Wanquan can consider Yangzhou and Ningbo as Tongzhi..." After thinking for a long time, Chai Ke said slowly: "But we have to talk to Liu Ji Gong about this."
Although Tongzhi is only an official of the fifth rank, the Tongzhi in Yangzhou and Ningbo are not simple. They are typically conflicting, complicated, tired, and difficult. After working for several years, it is not impossible to become a prefect in a more remote prefecture.
Moreover, both Wen Tingshou and Yuan Wanquan were from the fifth rank of magistrates. According to the convention, it is no problem for you to be promoted to the same magistrate. However, if you do not have strong connections, you will basically stay within the province. This kind of cross-regional travel to Jiangnan is really rare.
.
In fact, among Shaanxi officials, Feng Ziying admired Pan Ruzhen and Xu Junyang the most.
It is a pity that Pan Ruzhen was promoted to the Shaanxi Provincial Envoy Department last year, and Xu Junyang was promoted to the General Magistrate of Gongchang Prefecture at the same time. It is not appropriate to make further adjustments in a short period of time and can only be given up.
After talking through several candidates to be recommended, and hearing Chai Ke mention that there were no suitable candidates for many vacant positions, Feng Ziying secretly felt sad.
It truly feels like entering Baoshan but returning empty-handed, which is extremely uncomfortable.
There are too few people who have too much money in their pockets. They can only watch such a perfect opportunity pass by. It is really uncomfortable.
"The Qiu Wei Enke has been finalized. It's a bit hasty, but it has to reflect the emperor's great grace, so it's been delayed a bit late. It's probably about the time." After Chai Ke finished talking about the main business, he said some digressions, "Next spring Wei Enke
That's pretty much it for the majors. I heard that you value those two or three children of the Jia family very much. Are they considered to be Jinshi?"
Feng Ziying laughed, "It is true that I study very hard, but I am a little younger, so there is still a long way to go. One estimate is that there will be no big problem in Enke this fall, but it is hard to say whether I will be able to do it next spring."
"The Jia family has only had Jia Jing for so many years, right? And it has ended up like this. Now he is staying behind closed doors, but he is very free and easy. The court also feels that it is difficult to deal with it, so it can only drag it. However, the emperor seems to be very free and easy, and he does not care about these.
I don’t care much anymore,..."
When Chai Ke mentioned that the emperor was very free and easy, he couldn't help but have a sarcastic look on his lips. It was obvious that Emperor Wan Tong didn't like his style of doing things. If you can't even protect the people who are following you, who else will be there in the future?
Want to follow you?
She was afraid that if there was another crisis, everyone would betray her and leave her family. Feng Ziying remained silent.
Emperor Wan Tong no longer seems to be as bold as he was when he was a prince. This may be because there are too many jars and jars, but he is reluctant to break them.
Originally, I had nothing, so I didn't have so many constraints to do things, but now that I have the throne in hand, and I am already old, I just think about how to put my son on the throne and not think about anything else.
What's more, the performance of Tang Mi and the two men probably made Emperor Wan Tong feel a little chilled. After all, the scholars were not of the same mind as the Tian family and could not be counted on, so they were too lazy to do some things.
If Emperor Wan Tong were to have a falling out with the cabinet now, Feng Ziying would have to think twice about whether her son would inherit the throne.
Feng Ziying estimated that it would be difficult for anyone to make this determination. Emperor Wan Tong had no grand plans, and his age and health did not allow it, so he took a step back to seek stability, maintain a balance with the cabinet, and securely protect the crown prince's succession. This was probably his biggest wish.
.
But would the cabinet allow Emperor Wan Tong to fulfill his wish so easily?
Feng Ziying felt that it was really hard to say. Maybe she would have to wrest a lot of power from Emperor Wan Tong before she would give up, or it would have to depend on how many concessions Emperor Yonglong's heirs were willing to make in exchange for the throne.
"I think Jia Jing is very open-minded. Since he has become the emperor's personal minister, it is inevitable that he will make sacrifices. He should
It’s better to have this mental preparation. Give it a try. If you lose, you will lose only him. If you win, maybe the Jia family will be able to turn around and recover. It’s not a loss.” Feng Ziying smiled, “I think the court will also
I didn’t intend to do anything to him.”
Chai Ke agreed with Feng Ziying's point of view and sighed: "Yes, Jia Jing probably had this idea. Instead of watching the Jia family go from bad to worse, it seems that there is no one in the family who can support the situation for the time being, so he can only gamble
Now, it’s really not easy to maintain such a big family.”
"There is only a house of gold in the book, and the beauty in the book is like jade. Everything is low-grade, but reading is good. Now the Jia family only depends on whether the three juniors can read the book." Feng Ziying sighed, "Me too
That’s my best effort.”
"How can you not do your best for someone else after you take in their daughter? It seems that your second wife is also a close relative of the Jia family, right?" Chai Ke smiled, "Ziying, your reputation for being a romantic person has spread to the south of the Yangtze River.
Of the two hairpins and three jade in Jinling City, you took four of them for your own benefit. You really don’t have taboos. The eldest daughter of the Zhen family is a married woman, so you are just as happy to have them. You don’t shy away from taboos? Wait for the Zhen family women.
Why don't you go get it back after you enter the Jiaofang Division?"
Chai Ke's teasing made Feng Ziying a little unable to resist, so she could only hand over her hand and complain, "Brother Zishu, this matter belongs to my younger brother Meng Lang, but the end is done.
