Chapter 1725 Renzijuan demarcates territory and seizes power
Wu Daonan made such a suggestion so seriously that Feng Ziying was really taken aback.
This seems to be the first time that he has heard that the Fuyin 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. He refuses to get involved with substantive government affairs at all, but today is a good thing, he actually took the initiative to ask questions.
"Your Majesty..." Feng Ziying was slightly surprised and hesitant. She looked at the other party and asked thoughtfully.
He was still a little unsure about 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 was he 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. He is a scholar, 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 given any special tasks at this time?
No matter how important matters such as 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. The position was on pins and needles, but luckily Feng Ziying came.
Looking at Feng Ziying's drastic work, although he felt 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 could just take care of the poetry and literary gatherings, making friends with scholars, and the affairs of the government school. Feng Ziying could 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 just Shangsanqinjun or Jizhen who can affect the situation in the DPRK. These generals They lack autonomy and have to judge more based on changes in the situation in the DPRK. To be precise, they still have to look at the attitudes of civil servants in the DPRK and China to decide which direction to follow.
There are 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 ordinary 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 wind 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 never 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 weren't 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. I know what the content is going to be like. If that were the case, I 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 prevent being passive.
"Your Excellency is 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's attention. We do need to be cautious, but 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 follow Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe in reasoning, and there should be no problem with this.
Although Ye Fang and Ye Fang each belong to the leaders of the Fujian-Jiangxi scholars and the Southern Zhili-Zhejiang scholars, for now, they can only stick together to form a group of Jiangnan scholars who are Zhengshuo in the imperial court to fight against the surrounding people. There was a group of native Jiangnan scholars with Nanjing as the core around Prince Yi Zhong.
However, although this guy has a good reputation, his actual ability is so poor that neither Ye Xianggao nor Fang Congzhe seems to have included him in their inner circle, and he occupied the position of Shuntian Prefect in vain.
But in general, it is a good thing for this guy to be the governor of Shuntian. The current situation is turbulent, and the court cannot replace the governor of Shuntian at this time. It can give himself more opportunities to control the real power of Shuntian. Now Wu Daonan is showing The attitude you come out with will allow you to better achieve this.
"Well, Ziying, the current situation in the government is in turmoil. The three cabinet ministers are about to return to Beijing. The cabinet will definitely discuss the follow-up matters, and there are probably many 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 Feng Ziying could 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, sir. I am a low-ranking official. I have no shirk in my duty. Naturally, major matters must be reported to you first for your decision. Ordinary matters will also be handled properly and reported to you,..." Feng Ziying immediately took up the conversation.
Wu Daonan finally let go of the stone in his heart and nodded reservedly: "That's it. If you need my support, just say..."
Everyone gets what he wants, and everyone is happy.
For Feng Ziying, with Wu Daonan's full support, no matter whether it is Mei Zhiye or several Tongpan, if he wants to make any trouble, he can punish him unceremoniously.
To put it bluntly, I can easily marginalize you. This is very different from before. This is where the power of the governor 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 Prefecture in the first place, and now it is even more dangerous. How can Feng Ziying stabilize the situation in Shuntian Prefecture and prevent others from taking power?
What's more, he kept silent in the early stage and others used various means to use various methods to play various tricks in Shuntianfu Yamen. Wu Daonan knew that he couldn't do it, but he could see it.
Now it’s just about making things public. This is also a necessary measure to get through this extraordinary period.
As for the new Shuntian Prefecture Yin who will face Feng Ziying who is already deeply rooted in Shuntian Prefecture in the future, 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. On this point, Wu Daonan is more open-minded than many people.
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 chief seal officer, and he was the deputy and the second assistant officer. 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 go and do something big.
Regarding affairs between the DPRK and the Central Government, the most I can do is to help spread 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 the support of Wu Daonan, at least in the three-thirds of an acre of Shuntian Mansion, he can act according to his own intentions with great fanfare.
When he returned to his side, he immediately called Li Wenzheng and Li Jianxing.
Wu Yaoqing still had to busy himself with other matters assigned by him. Feng Ziying also knew that she could not always rely on Wu Yaoqing. Now that it was determined that she would make a good career in Shuntian Mansion, and Wu Daonan was ready to let go and support her, Feng Ziying had to consider All the people who are available in the government office must be used as much as possible.
Li Wencheng has been the prison secretary for many years, and now he takes 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 yamen officials in Shuntian Mansion. 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 the Shuntian Mansion. If you want to quickly and firmly control the power of the entire Shuntian Mansion, these two people are indispensable.
