Chapter 670 Jia Heng: At this point, adding these two sentences is enough.
points answer
Hanyuan Hall
Following Emperor Chongping's inquiry, Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing below, was stunned for a moment. The more people came out, recalling the discussion with Jia Heng the day before yesterday, sorting out his words, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that the situation in Henan has been settled, and the people's thoughts are
An, after Wei Chen took office, he paid more attention to the livelihood of the people, governed according to the law, and prevented the people from harboring grievances. He built water conservancy projects, encouraged farmers to farm and recuperate with the people.
When Xiao is young, I will show him the bow, crossbow and sword."
On such an occasion, Shi Ding would naturally not say that the ministers followed Jia Heng, Xiao Gui and Cao Cao, which would just confirm the previous words of a party member.
But the specific development part is mostly expressed in his own words, expressing what Jia Heng said to him the day before yesterday, and quoting the original text of what Jia Heng said before. In the end, Fu Ling was so moved that he added a sentence at the end to give a small warning to the enemy Kou Xiao.
The use of swords has a certain sense of martial arts.
Sure enough, as Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding described the strategy of suppressing Henan, all the officials in the palace frowned, and their eyes flashed with thought.
This Zhongjing Marquis...there is something about him.
Yes, after all, he is a martial artist, and walking around military aircraft, he is influenced by what he hears and sees.
As for some shrewd cabinet ministers, such as Yang Guochang, whose brows were furrowed, he felt vaguely that Shi Ding's tone and style of speaking were somewhat familiar.
To put it bluntly, the taste is a bit strong.
As Yang Guochang, who was familiar with Jia Heng's style, his brows were furrowed and his heart was cold. As expected, it was Uncle Yong Ning who secretly ordered him!
When Emperor Chongping heard the words, he was not doubtful, but also a little surprised. His eyes were a little gentler, he looked at Shi Ding below, nodded and said: "What a man who treats the people with leniency and treats officials with strictness... Zhongjing Hou Shi Dingxin"
If there are hills and valleys, you can use them to guard one area and supervise Henan."
When Shi Ding heard this, his heart was filled with excitement. He quickly raised his hands and saluted, "I don't dare to praise you as a saint once I see you."
He secretly thought, Brother Heng's two sentences really won the praise, and the sentence he added later was not even mentioned by the Holy Father.
Jia Heng glanced at Shi Ding, who had memorized the reference answers. His expression was indifferent, and he felt a little strange in his heart.
Secretly, Shi Ding missed one key point in answering the question, which is to be honest and loyal, and to have a clear mirror.
Well, it was because he didn't dare to mention it before, but after it happened, he still had to warn Shi Ding specially.
Henan is in chaos, and people are struggling to make ends meet. In addition to protecting people's livelihood and rectifying unjust imprisonment, Shi Ding, the governor of Henan, also has the most important thing to do is to be honest and honest. If you can't uphold your integrity, you will easily become the target of local officials.
.
As the saying goes, officials do not fear my strictness but fear my integrity; people do not respect my ability but obey my public. At this point, adding these two sentences... is the perfect answer.
However, while he was in charge of the central government, he would leave some eyes and ears in Henan to observe Shi Ding. If Shi Ding wanted to secure his position in Henan, he could only rely on him.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and then ordered: "The cabinet has drafted a decree and appointed Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, as the right deputy censor of the capital. He will be the governor of Henan, stationed in Kaifeng, supervise military affairs and manage food and pay, and he will take up his post on a certain day."
Yang Guochang and Han Huang, with expressionless faces and holding ivory jade wats, came out one after another, raised their hands and said: "I obey the order."
At this point, the selection of governor of Henan has been decided.
Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, thanked him again. He felt excited and returned to the train. He secretly said, "Brother Heng is truly the emperor's favorite minister and can be highly recommended."
Emperor Chongping thought for a moment, glanced at the ministers with different expressions below, and said in a deep voice: "The candidate for the chief envoy of the Henan vassal should be decided together today. The ministers have discussed the candidate. I have thought about it again and again, and I have probably made a decision.
."
The number of chief envoys is relatively fixed in the Han Dynasty, because there are only a few provinces where the vassal administration is established. On the contrary, governors are temporary dispatches, and sometimes they do not strictly correspond to provinces. Therefore, the official rank of chief envoys is determined to be the second grade.
Emperor Chongping looked at the ministers below who had different thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "In the land of Henan, there was civil unrest in the past. In addition to the instigation of thieves and bandits, there were also local officials who were greedy and cruel to the people. Therefore, I want to send an official from the capital to serve as the vassal.
Officials, and just now all the ministers gathered together, and it was found that Peng Ye, the censor of the left deputy capital, was highly regarded and had commendable qualities and talents. I wanted to transfer him to the Henan vassal. The cabinet drafted an order to move Peng Ye, the censor of the left deputy capital, to be the governor of Henan.
make."
Peng Ye's face perked up, and his heart was a little excited. He came out of the class to play, cupped his hands and said, "I thank you for your trust in your Majesty. I will live up to your Majesty's trust, work conscientiously, and fulfill your duties."
Yang Guochang was also slightly shaken and confused.
I originally thought that it would take some active fighting, but instead of relying on the Holy Spirit's golden words, I directly used the controversy just now to appoint Peng Ye as the feudal chief.
Emperor Chongping warned: "In the land of Henan, there has been civil strife. Only then did the words of Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, be encouraged to teach farming and mulberry cultivation and build water conservancy. This is good advice for governance."
Jia Heng looked at this scene with a silent expression on his face, as he had expected it.
First, according to the tacit political understanding, the governor and the chief envoy cannot belong to the same faction. It is said that different opinions confuse each other and the big and small are controlled by each other.
Secondly, his foundation was still shallow and his wings were not yet full, which was why Emperor Chongping did not take seriously the so-called clique.
Moreover, it was impossible for him to replace the governor and chief envoy of Henan with his people. This kind of treating Henan as his own territory was really Jia Ziyu's intention, and everyone on the road knew it.
Luoyang and Henan, where both the imperial palace and Kaifeng palaces are located, have always been intertwined. Now they can only cut off the largest piece of the cake in Henan. For example, the governor of Henan and the capital of Henan have fallen into his hands, and the rest can only be slowly conquered.
Of.
As for Peng Ye's mixing of sand in Henan, if you think about it better, it is a check and balance on Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing. Otherwise, it is inevitable that the Shi family will control the place without any scruples.
Now that Peng Ye is watching with wide eyes, Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, must rely on him in everything. It is foreseeable that there may be some overt and covert fights between the two sides.
When I saw the governor, the chief envoy had gone to another family, Fang Huan, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and Guo Yongchang, the minister of Taichang temple, mostly looked gloomy and had a solemn heart.
The Zhejiang Party could only focus on the post of Inspector General of Henan. If we follow the usual rules, it is obvious that Yu De, the censor of Youqiandu, will be transferred to Henan.
But it is not necessary, because the imperial envoy is a third-grade official, and many local local officials have been promoted.
At this time, seeing that Emperor Chongping was silent, Fang Huan, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, handed over his hands and left the office, saying loudly: "Your Majesty, the Henan vassal is participating in politics. There is still a vacancy for the inspector general. I would like to ask your Majesty to select a candidate."
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment and said: "There is a vacancy in the Henan governorship. After the governor of Henan takes office, he will select honest and capable officials from among the officials of the vassal and feudal lords, and then recommend them to the court. As for the participation of the vassal governor of Henan in politics, I will listen."
It is said that Henan Senator Feng Lian assisted Yongning Bo in fighting floods and preparing for floods. He worked hard and reported it. The cabinet drafted an edict and rewarded his merits. He was promoted to the right to participate in the politics of the Henan vassal."
Feng Lian is the nephew of the Queen Mother, so he is a relative. Now he is participating in politics, and with the help of his identity, he can coordinate the disputes that may arise between Shi and Peng in the future, so as not to interfere with the official affairs of the country.
Jia Heng was listening below, his face slightly paused, thinking about Emperor Chongping's intentions.
Previously, Yu De lost points while patrolling the Nanhe River, and now his career has been affected.
As for the envoy of the Inspector-General, since the name of the punishment was mentioned just now, the power of the name of the punishment should be given to Shi Ding, which can be regarded as establishing the prestige of the governor and suppressing the vassal in government affairs. If it comes to civil affairs, Feng Lian, a prestigious foreign relative, can be the bridge
.
The emperor's power skills are almost perfect. He must be able to do things but also have checks and balances to prevent one family from becoming dominant.
Han Huang's face was solemn, and he handed over his hand. He felt his heart was cold. The emperor would not consider the candidates proposed by him and the officials at all.
Emperor Chongping looked at the ministers below, then mentioned something, and said in a deep voice: "After Peng Ye left office, there was a vacancy for the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It would be better to have a vacancy than to fill the vacancy for the time being. Xu Qing will inspect the capital for consultation."
The imperial censor of the Procuratorate, as well as the local legal officials in Taiwan, will select those with outstanding talents and deliver them to me for further decision-making."
Hearing this, Xu Lu's mind changed and he understood Emperor Chongping's intention. He jumped out of the class, raised his hands and said, "I will obey the imperial edict."
Jia Heng listened to Emperor Chongping's almost resolute appointment and continued to speculate on the Sacred Heart.
This time, it can be said that the Zhejiang Party was left empty-handed and caught almost nothing.
And Qi Dang suddenly vacated a position in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, clearing the last stumbling block for Xu Lu to completely take over the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Because the two parties of Qi and Zhejiang had previously placed personnel in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and penetrated the Metropolitan Procuratorate to a great extent, the Fengxian Yasi was unable to supervise and restrict corrupt officials and even several ministers in the cabinet.
A weapon for party struggle.
But now that Peng Ye has left, the left and right deputy censors of the capital are all chosen by Xu Lu. In this way, the capital procuratorate will be more independent and the supervision and restraint on the two parties will be stronger.
Sure enough, the emperor's appointment of officials in Henan and the follow-up arrangements for the court had long been known, so when it came to sending Shi Ding to Henan, the emperor followed suit and did not go against his will, so he agreed.
If there is no Shi Ding, then the left deputy capital censor Shi Peng Ye or the Shandong chief envoy Jing Daoyu will choose one of them to be the governor of Henan, and then match a Zhejiang party member as the chief envoy. This will create a balance in Henan. Of course
There may be other configurations, but the general direction of limiting the Zhejiang Party’s advance will not change.
"Just like this, will the Zhejiang Party have resentment and have other thoughts towards the emperor? In fact, to put it in one sentence, what can we do if we see it? How can we break up?" Jia Heng's eyes were incomprehensible, and his heart was cold.
.
Zhejiang people are everywhere in the center, Jinling, and Jiangnan, and the situation is extremely difficult to control. Their intervention in the appointment of the governor of Henan seems to be an opportunity to test.
It is impossible to give up a good situation and develop a mentality of breaking the pot due to a temporary failure.
In fact, the power of Jiangnan scholars has reached a bottleneck, unless... Han Huang becomes the chief minister.
Emperor Chongping looked at Shi and Peng, and said solemnly: "Now that the candidates have been decided, I hope that all the ministers will work together to govern the Central Plains."
After hearing this, Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, came out and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to the Holy One for his great respect. I will certainly live up to His Majesty's earnest entrustment."
Peng Ye also went out to express his gratitude. Although he did not serve as a governor of a province, he took a solid step by becoming a vassal.
After deciding on the candidates for the governor of Henan and the vassal of Henan, Emperor Chongping looked down at the ministers of different colors and said in a deep voice: "When Gao Bin was in charge of the Nanhe River, he deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates, enriched his own pockets, and wasted the country's river money.
Unexpectedly, the common people in Sizhou and other places suffered from floods. If Yongningbo had not been appointed at this time of crisis, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Now that Yongningbo has returned from his duties as governor of the river, there is a shortage of river governors. Can you recommend someone to elect the governor of Nanhe?
Come up here and think that all the ministers will discuss it together."
When Jia Heng returned to Beijing this time, it can be said that he retained a lot of official positions, not only the governor of Henan, but also a fat official, the governor of the river.
At this moment, Yao Yu, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, held an ivory jade wat in his hand and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the governor of the river channel is responsible for dredging the river and preventing floods. I think we should learn from the previous lessons of corruption and select upright officials to serve so that they will not
Just like what happened in Sixu happened again."
Cen Weishan, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, came out of the train and said: "Your Majesty, I thought that the Liangjiang Governor's Office, stationed in Jinling, could be nearby and take charge of the Nanhe River. This time there was a dangerous work in the Nanhe River. I heard that the Liangjiang Governor's Yamen had already prepared supplies.
It is most appropriate to provide timely feedback to the river platform and relieve the people's plight, and let it also manage the river channel."
As soon as this statement came out, many palm masters and palm masters echoed the words.
For example, Chen Duan, the imperial censor of Jiangnan Road, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Governor-General of Liangjiang will sort out the river channel nearby, and also allocate money and food from Liangjiang to the construction of dikes. I think it will benefit the country and the people, and get twice the result with half the effort."
In fact, in the later Qing Dynasty, the power of the governor of Liangjiang gradually expanded. He not only managed the rivers, but also comprehensively managed salt affairs. As for river affairs, the governor was often in charge of both. For example, Li Wei, the governor of Zhili, once also took charge of the Beihe River.
service.
A system is often like this. It has a process of inception, development and finalization. After several iterations, it is finally finalized.
At this time, a person from the Metropolitan Procuratorate came out and Cang Sheng said: "As far as I know, the governor's office of Liangjiang has prepared flood-fighting supplies because Yong Ningbo wrote letters and communicated with the governor's office of Liangjiang many times, and the emperor asked him again and again.
"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone felt strange. They looked at the person who said it, and it was clearly Zhang Zhi, the right deputy of the Imperial Procuratorate.
Emperor Chongping nodded and said loudly: "I remember this happened. At that time, the Liangjiang Governor's Yamen did not neglect it, and I also commended it in the cabinet."
However, Emperor Chongping changed the topic and said: "However, the Liangjiang Governor-General and the Jiangzuo Domain have prepared grain and grain, but I don't know why the Jinling officials' sons re-sold the official grain and hoarded the goods for personal gain?"
As soon as these words came out, the Kedao censor below was a little dumbfounded.
For this matter, the Governor's Office of Liangjiang and the Jiangzuo Domain are really responsible.
At this time, a man came out from the Kedao, holding a wat tablet, and said loudly: "As far as I know, Gao Bin, the governor of Nanhe, and Shen Fang, the governor of Liangjiang, have a close relationship and are considered to be in-laws. I think it is not appropriate for them to serve as both. Lead the river."
Jia Heng glanced at the censor and thought to himself, is this a member of the Qi Party?
However, once this matter is brought to the table, it can indeed cause a critical blow.
Sure enough, some officials who were in charge of science and education began to come out to agree.
Several important members of the Zhejiang Party had ugly faces and cold hearts. They were making assumptions out of thin air and making heart-wrenching remarks!
At this moment, Pang Shilang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that the smooth river channel is related to the safety of water transportation. As far as I know, Du Jitong, the governor of water transportation, delivers grain to the imperial court at the water transportation yamen. Every year, there are reports that the canal is blocked and the river dredging is ineffective, which hinders the delivery of canal grain. The ministers thought that the Ministry of Water Transport could also lead the river governor to assist the northward transportation of canal grain."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of some of the courtiers in the palace changed slightly, and they exchanged glances.
However, this reason is actually quite legitimate, because the Nanhe river transport was originally designed to protect the canal and transport grain.
However, Zhejiang Party officials such as Han Huang, Zhou Tingji, Fang Huan and others were cold-hearted and had a look of fear on their faces, because the Governor of Nanhe had always been the sphere of influence of Jiangnan scholars.
However, the former river governor Gao Bin has created a big problem, and the marriage relationship between Shen Fang and Gao Bin also needs to be avoided, so the Zhejiang Party does not have the confidence to speak at this moment.
At this time, censors from Kedao came out one after another to agree with what Pang Shilang, the Minister of Rites, said, and there were more than a dozen people at once.
After all the ministers finished their discussion, Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment and asked: "Uncle Yongning, you previously supervised the river station and led troops to fight floods. I think you know a lot about river affairs. Is there any suitable candidate to recommend?"
The governor of the Donghe River was recommended by the Qi Party, while the Nanhe River Governor was recommended by the Zhejiang Party. Nowadays, all the river governors of the two rivers are corrupt. Now the emperor no longer wants to use the two parties to take over river affairs.
When the ministers in the palace saw this and heard the words, they were shocked. This was asking Uncle Yongning again!
But Jia Heng returned home with a reputation for fighting floods on the river, and he did have a say in river affairs.
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, I thought that I would choose a river governor based on his honesty and self-control, and his proficiency in water conservancy. I met someone when I was in Kaifeng Mansion. He was originally a river official in Donghe River, but he did not join the same trend as the former river governor. , I talked with him and found that he was quite knowledgeable about water conservancy and had many wonderful opinions. I appointed him to be in charge of the river, and according to his words, he rushed to repair the Nanhe embankment and dangerous works, and the results were remarkable."
Because Feng Lian was directly appointed by the emperor to participate in politics in Henan, the governor of Nanhe could no longer recommend him. Besides, even if he was not to participate in politics, Feng Lian's merits and qualifications were far inferior.
But the gatekeeper's starting point is too low. The Governor of Donghe who has been promoted from the fourth rank to the third rank is about the same, and the Governor of Nanhe is almost useless.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "I have read about this man in memorials before, and I have some impressions. Ziyu said that he records celestial phenomena in books, and the first thing he said is that there will be heavy rain in the north. He is indeed a talented person."
It's just that he is still in charge of rivers. Such an official position is a bit too low to be a second-grade river governor. In particular, the Nanhe River Governor has to deal with officials from the two rivers and has to interface with the Water Transport Governor's Ministry. He has to be an old official.
Yang Guochang frowned as he listened to the conversation between Jia Heng and Emperor Chongping. Jia Heng'er recommended Shi Dingyou and felt it was not enough, but he wanted to recommend his own party members to intervene in river affairs?
Emperor Chongping pondered for a while and said: "Since he was born in the Donghe River, he will use it as the deputy river of Donghe to supervise river affairs. As for the governor of Nanhe..."
When Jia Heng heard this, he cupped his hands. Listening to Emperor Chongping's silence, he felt embarrassed for the emperor.
Looking at it, the civil and military branches of the Manchu Dynasty were either the Qi Party or the Zhejiang Party. If the Qi Party was not used, the Zhejiang Party would be used. The third option was the Chu Party, but the Chu Party had no suitable candidates to recommend.
Emperor Chongping pondered for a while and said: "As Yong Ningbo said, the governor of Nanhe needs to be selected by an official who is proficient in water conservancy and an honest official. It cannot be decided at the moment. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Works will inspect the governors and vassals in the world who are good at water conservancy.
, appointed as the governor of the river."
Yang Guochang, who was below, sighed in his heart. The emperor was using a drag technique.
