Scroll C, Section 36, One Stone Causes Thousands of Waves
The huge shock caused by the first issue of "Internal Reference" reached its peak within three days. Starting from the third day, the Hanlin Academy welcomed many officials from the Liubu Hall, such as Li Tingji, the Minister of Rites, and Gu Bingqian, the Zuo Shilang. Xiao Daheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Chai Ke, the right minister of the Ministry of War.
It is said that Shen Guanyi, the chief assistant, suffered a stroke due to excessive excitement during the "Internal Reference" and is now bedridden. His family has officially submitted his official announcement to the court.
Shen Guanyi officially resigned from the court, which also caused a shock in the court. According to the practice of the Zhou Dynasty, the cabinet members generally have three to five people, including one chief assistant, one secondary assistant, and the others are group assistants, which are the so-called cabinet elders. .
Shen Yiguan's original intention was to recommend Fang Congzhe to be the first assistant, but Ye Xianggao was unwilling to take the back seat. This also made the subsequent battle for the first assistant still unclear. But now Shen Yiguan has withdrawn directly due to his health, which also makes the entire cabinet face a necessary decision. Finalize the candidate situation as soon as possible.
"It's beyond my expectation, Ziying. Although this Fang Youdu is a top-three Jinshi, he analyzes problems very carefully and accurately. He is now observing politics in the Ministry of Justice. Where is he from?" Qiao Yingjia stroked his beard, his face was very good-looking, obviously It was the various events during this period that put him in a good mood.
"Well, Uncle Fang is from Shexian County, Nanzhili. He works in the Ministry of Punishment to observe politics. This article was also written by him with great concentration. Master Qiao thinks he is good. He can also be sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future. He will definitely make a difference."
As the sky gradually darkened, Feng Ziying stood up and moved the lamp a little further inside to make the main room more open.
Entering December, the weather quickly became colder. Several consecutive heavy snowfalls shrouded the entire capital in white. Just after Shenshi, the sky became dark. Fortunately, the firewood in the courtyard outside Qiao Yingjia's house was also lit. , making the whole yard much brighter, and even the house becomes brighter.
"It's too early to say this now, but I do have some knowledge." Qiao Yingjia had a good impression of Fang Youdu, "This article about Ningxia's military affairs took a lot of pen and ink. What is the meaning of this? Is there something different in your father's letter?"
In front of Qiao Yingjia, Feng Ziying did not hide anything.
"Master Qiao, my disciple also told Master Qi about this matter, but Master Qi didn't seem to believe it. In his letter, my father mentioned that border affairs in Ningxia Town were not repaired, and there were many soldiers fleeing, far more than those in Yulin and Guyuan towns, and even Beyond the town of Gansu, its Mongolian soldiers also had contacts with the Tatars in Hetao. Although the situation in the border areas has eased in recent years after trading with the Tatars, the Tatars' ambitions have not been lost, and Sanniangzi's health has deteriorated, so she has been The control of the department is dwindling day by day, and each department is ready to take action, which makes my father particularly worried."
Qiao Yingjia was a censor, so he wasn't too interested in hearing about this. Except for the important generals Du Cha Yuan Shang was interested in the border military affairs, other ordinary military officers were the affairs of Long Jinwei, and they had never been exposed to this kind of military affairs. However, naturally I don’t understand the inside story.
"Ziying, just tell me directly, what are you worried about?" Qiao Yingjia said patiently.
"Master Qiao, I am worried that there will be a rebellion in Ningxia Town due to collusion between internal and external forces. In the past few years, the imperial court has owed too much to the three sides and four towns. It has owed as much as several years in food and salary. The military supplies are also in poor condition. The military commanders in Ningxia Town are also worried. Once they are under attack, Unexpected influences from inside and outside may lead to great chaos. If Ningxia Town cannot control the situation, Gansu Town may collapse like the Seven Guards of Guanxi. At that time, the Mughals and Tatars may also merge and attack the west. The security of Tibet will also have a huge impact, and Sichuan and Yunnan will be affected by then..."
Qiao Yingjia was silent.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't quite believe in Feng Ziying's views.
The three sides and four towns have not been like this for a year or two. In Qiao Yingjia's impression, these regular false reports of military information started ten years ago, and can even be traced back to the 30th year of Yuanxi.
There is no other way. There are gaps everywhere, even Xuanda and Liaodong, let alone your Shaanxi side. The Tatar people have passed their peak period and cannot afford to make too big a storm. I can give you some relief.
That's pretty good.
The current countermeasure is to apply a little bit of help to all aspects, hang it up, and nothing will happen to you. Your three sides and four towns are just like your stepmother.
However, Feng Ziying said it so seriously, and used such a powerful first issue as the first issue of "Internal Reference" to start a fire, which still made Qiao Yingjia somewhat wary.
Feng Ziying is not a person who talks casually.
In the past two or three years, Qiao Yingjia has deeply felt the rapid growth of his disciple's influence. In a sense, he has benefited a lot from it, and this is all based on the other party's fairly accurate and forward-looking judgments and insights.
superior.
Of course, the situation this time is slightly different. I don't understand much about military affairs, and neither does Qi Yongtai. They have never intervened in these situations in the past few years, so they are not willing to intervene easily.
This is no small matter, and intervening means taking responsibility.
"Ziying, this is a serious matter. If you write such an article in this "Internal Reference", I believe that the Ministry of War, the Cabinet and the Emperor should see it. They will definitely arrange for someone to investigate. I will be here at the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
I will suggest arranging capable candidates to participate..., I am afraid that this is all I can do as a teacher. You also have some connections with Long Jinwei. You should know that in the Nine-Front Army, in addition to the generals of the guards and towns, the generals are all
The Procuratorate can still supervise other ordinary military matters, and Long Jinwei has always been in charge..."
Qiao Yingjia's answer made Feng Ziying a little disappointed, but he also knew that this was probably the best news he could get.
It is impossible for Qiao Yingjia to intervene because of this article. This is neither in line with the rules nor unreasonable.
And as he said, the spying and monitoring of important matters in the army are either the Longjing Lieutenant or the Supervisory Chamberlain.
However, in non-wartime situations, there are basically no internal servants to supervise the army. Emperor Yonglong became more cautious in this regard after he ascended the throne.
This is not to say that the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not have this ability. The supervisory power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is more focused on the senior generals of each guard town. For example, the chief soldiers of the guard towns like Dad and the governors like Wang Ziteng are the focus.
.
People like You Shigong were not qualified to defend, but after he became a staff general, he can be brought into the spotlight. Of course, the main reason is that the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not have the energy. If the Metropolitan Procuratorate wants to intervene, there is no problem. The key is that you must have a reason.
Just have the energy.
There are only a few supervisory censors in a province, the coverage is so wide, and it is an inspection mode. How can they have nothing to do and keep an eye on those warriors on the border? Aren't the officials in the three departments and prefectures and counties not so good?
If Qiao Yingjia can agree to arrange for the competent supervisory censor to intervene in this matter, it means that he is taking it seriously. After all, he is not the censor of Zuodu, and there are still a few people in between. Feng Ziying estimates that with Shen Yiguan's withdrawal from the political arena, she will go from the cabinet to the six ministries and nine ministers. I am afraid that all the court officials will face a big adjustment. It is hard to say whether Qiao Yingjia will continue to be in the Metropolitan Procuratorate or transferred to another position.
But even if he stays in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Feng Ziying estimates that Qiao Yingjia should get a good promotion. After all, the "harvest" operation in Zhejiang last year was quite popular.
Some people were walking on horseback on Chang'an Street. Feng Ziying didn't like walking very much during this period, let alone riding in a car.
The weather was getting colder, but Feng Ziying felt that riding a horse and facing the cold wind would help clear her head after being in the warm room of Qiao Yingjia's house.
It seems that the historical inertia is quite huge, and not just any time traveler can reverse the change.
In fact, Feng Ziying could also guess that sooner or later something would happen to the three parties. According to what her father described in the letter, nothing new would be new unless something happened.
If Ningxia Town doesn't come out, Gansu Town will. If my father hadn't changed the history of Yulin Town, there is probably a high chance that something will happen to Yulin Town. All in all, it just depends on where the spark falls.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying turned her horse's head and headed straight for the back street of Jinyiwei.
When she came out of Zhang Jin's place, it was already dark. She tightened her cloak tightly, and Feng Ziying clamped her horse's belly, spurred the horse to speed up, and hurried home.
As expected, the news Zhang Jin received was not satisfactory.
Long Jinwei's strength in the two towns of Gansu and Ningxia has shrunk greatly in the past two years. The main reason is the dispute between the two big bosses, the commander and the commander. People below him have begun to take sides, so the strength of the remote areas has naturally shrunk back. Shaanxi, for example, was not a major priority in the first place, so it was significantly reduced.
This made Feng Ziying even more aware that something was going to happen, and if it didn't work well, something big would happen.
He was at a loss for a while and couldn't think of a better way to deal with it.
I have done everything I can, and I have tried my best to remind my dad. I can't just write to him directly and tell him that I came from time-travel, and something is going to happen in Ningxia Town, right? Besides, my dad should have done some things. Prepare, but to what extent it can be done, Feng Ziying cannot intervene.
Directly writing to the emperor? Even more impossible, that would be too ridiculous.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying was also a little frustrated. He knew that something was going to happen, but he couldn't change it. This feeling of helplessness was really hard to accept for him who had been invincible since coming to this time and space.
This bad mood lasted until I returned home.
After meeting my mother and aunt, I could finally return to my own courtyard.
The warmth that hit my face, Yun Shang had already put on soft soft shoes for herself, the earth dragon was burning extremely hot, and Tang Pozi was covering her hands, the steam of musk coal in the smoke cage under the dining table was rising, and the jade bracelet was standing on tiptoe. Standing at the base of his feet, he took off his cloak and hung it up. Xiangling even handed him a cup of red date and ginger soup. One sip made his whole body feel warm.
Under the light, Jin Chuan'er, who was as white as ancient jade and porcelain, was only wearing plain clothes. The sixteen-year-old girl's chest was already quite large, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and she said in a sweet voice: "Master, come first
The maid will massage it for you to relieve your fatigue, and rest for a while before eating."
