Chapter 1997 Gui Zijuan patrols the hunt on behalf of the sky, with special orders and full power
Ye Xiang was deep in thought. Neither he nor Fang Congzhe was willing to let Feng Ziying patrol Shaanxi. There were many reasons for this.
The first is that I really feel that Feng Ziying is too young and has difficulty convincing the public. Lu Chuan, Sun Yijie and others are all scholars of Feng Ziying’s father’s generation. If Feng Ziying takes charge, the two of them will definitely be more resistant. If there is no tacit understanding of cooperation, , will definitely affect governance and problem solving, and will affect the overall situation, which is what they don't want to see.
Secondly, Lu Chuan's character was also arrogant, cold and arrogant. Although Feng Ziying was smiling in front of the princes, they all knew that Feng Ziying was ruthless and tough in Yongping and Shuntian.
Mei Zhiye was a little uncooperative at first, so he enlisted Tong Xuan to marginalize Mei Zhiye, forcing Mei Zhiye to submit.
Now that he is going to Shaanxi, he will definitely have a conflict with Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan will probably suffer a loss by then, and it is impossible for the court not to support Feng Ziying. If Lu Chuan leaves in disgrace, it will be even more embarrassing.
The third thing is that everyone feels that Feng Ziying has risen too quickly. Of course, she is indeed capable and her performance is amazing, but no matter from which perspective, such young people should be suppressed.
On the one hand, it is to balance the gap with his contemporaries, and on the other hand, I still feel that if such an opportunity is seized by the other party and it is achieved with outstanding performance, then it will be really difficult for the court to deal with it, and it will be a bit unpromotable. It feels like he can be promoted. He can't be promoted to a third-grade official just in his early twenties, right?
Originally, it was shocking enough to become a fourth-rank official at the age of twenty. Don't be promoted to a third-rank officer two years later. That is a status worthy of being called a prince. Which one can only be achieved after the age of forty. He is in his early twenties. To be juxtaposed with these people will undoubtedly cause some psychological differences.
But Li Sancai was right. The situation in Shaanxi was so bad that if there wasn't a strong and skillful person, he might not be able to control the situation.
Small groups of rebels are swarming up. This is a very bad sign. It means that the governance ability of the local government has been out of control. It is difficult for the local gentry to suppress these poor people who cannot survive. Once this situation turns into a prairie fire, , that would burn down the entire Dazhou base structure in Shaanxi, and Shaanxi might become a lawless place.
If the situation in Shaanxi spreads to Shanxi and Henan, then even if the imperial court really pacifies the south of the Yangtze River, it cannot afford the consequences of turning most of the northern land into ruins. The Mongols and Jurchens will take advantage of the situation and rise up, fearing that the northern land will The scholars really wanted to completely fall out with them.
Fang Congzhe saw Ye Xianggao stroking his beard and thinking, and he asked tentatively: "Can Feng Tang be removed from the position of governor of the three sides first..."
Ye Xianggao shook his head decisively: "Not for the time being, that's too obvious, and it's not appropriate to link it with Feng Keng's going to Shaanxi. Feng Keng is a civil servant, and Feng Tang is a military general. Although they are father and son, they each go their own way."
“Then…” Fang Congzhe still hesitated.
"At least we have to wait until we capture the whole of Shandong." Ye Xianggao raised his eyes and looked at the big locust tree at the end of the road, "Daofu, what's happening over there with Chen Jixian?"
"Well, we are preparing to go south. This man is too indecisive, but his desires are hard to satisfy. No wonder Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong despise him, but he can be used by us at this time." Li Sancai said: "As long as the Northwest Army attacks Jining If we launch an attack here, Chen Jixian will probably go south."
"He has a good idea. Does he plan to attack Niu Jizong with the Northwest Army, or does he plan to leave Xuzhou to Niu Jizong?" Ye Xianggao asked with a sneer.
Li Sancai smiled bitterly, "This guy is old and cunning. He is very good at this. On the surface, he keeps saying that he will resolutely obey the orders of the court, but who knows what he thinks in his heart? And he is still expanding his troops. It seems that he is also working with the salt merchants in Yangzhou. We have contact, so I can’t see through what this person is planning. Does he really think that his Huaiyang Town can compete with the imperial court’s overall situation?”
Ye Xianggao shook his head, "Ignore this guy for now, he can't stir up much trouble. Zhonghan, do you think Shaanxi can let Feng Keng go?"
Fang Congzhe was also a little confused. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "What Daofu said makes sense. If we can't come up with a candidate who can convince everyone, I'm afraid Chengfeng and the others won't give up. But after all, there is only one option." Feng Keng is more suitable. Of course, this is also a challenge. If the situation in Shaanxi cannot be controlled, it will also bring great troubles. It will take several times more effort to clean up. Chengfeng and the others should know this. We must also be responsible for this..."
This was a disguised agreement with Qi Yongtai's opinion, but it was still because Li Sancai's attitude was changed by Qi Yongtai's persuasion. He was also the cabinet minister in charge of military affairs, so it was hard to say. Ye Xianggao was a little regretful, but since he decided , he no longer hesitated: "In that case, then reply to Chengfeng and agree to Feng Keng's inspection of Shaanxi. The situation in Shaanxi must be controlled..."
Li Wan finally left, walking with a limp and a little inconveniently.
I was so happy that I got a little carried away.
Perhaps because he thought that there would be no chance of sexual **** in the next few years, Li Wan risked his life and did not care about it. He forced Feng Ziying to use a series of big moves to subdue this pretty widow.
However, until the end, Feng Ziying did not clearly admit his relationship with Wang Xifeng, which made Li Wan very dissatisfied.
Feng Ziying's attitude was that she should never admit this kind of thing clearly. Once she did, it would definitely cause a storm in the city with these women's gossip. Now even if Li Wan doubts it again, but she still refuses to admit it, she can only Believe or doubt, this is the mentality of women.
Just like Yuanyang knew about her affair with Wang Xifeng, no matter whether she found out from Ping'er or reasoned and judged by herself, she didn't respond anyway, which made her feel itchy but she couldn't get a positive answer. That curiosity was really Feng Ziying also found it particularly interesting to make her feel uncomfortable all the time.
Feng Ziying received the news in the evening. The cabinet agreed that she would be appointed governor of Shaanxi and given the title of right minister of the Ministry of War and censor of Zuo Qiandu. Now she is waiting for the Ministry of Personnel to discuss it and then issue an official appointment document.
It is a routine matter for the Ministry of Personnel to issue an official document, but according to the usual practice, after the Ministry of Personnel has made a decision, it must be sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for review, and the final review result will be returned to the Ministry of Personnel. If the Metropolitan Procuratorate has no objection, the Ministry of Personnel will issue an official document and finally send it to the cabinet. According to the usual practice, the emperor should use the seal. However, because the emperor is now comatose, the left and right supervisors use the seal instead.
However, the seals of the left and right supervisors are kept in the General Affairs Department. After the cabinet approves, the seals can be used directly by the General Affairs Department.
This process takes ten days. The official department usually decides within three days, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate takes a little longer to review, usually five days. Finally, it goes to the cabinet to seal the process, which takes two or three days. In total, it takes ten days. Eleven days, no longer than fifteen days.
This is the appointment process for officials of the fourth rank and above in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In fact, as long as the cabinet deliberates and agrees to hand it over to the Ministry of Personnel, there will basically be no problem. As long as there is no special reason, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not overturn the decision to deny the Ministry of Personnel. When the cabinet is preparing and deliberation, the documents handed over are usually discussed with the Metropolitan Procuratorate in advance, and the later process is more about procedural review.
Such news would definitely not spread overnight, so after Feng Ziying learned about it in the evening, it quickly spread to the ears of well-informed people in the capital that night.
I have to say that a governor who is only 22 years old is still too shocking. He has never been seen in the Zhou Dynasty, and it is also estimated that he has never appeared in the Ming Dynasty or the earlier Song Dynasty.
Feng Ziying's grade has not changed, it is still the fourth grade. Theoretically, his grade is lower than that of the chief minister of Shaanxi Province and the chief inspector of the Ministry of Punishment, even as high as the chief minister. His participation in politics was also from the third rank, which is one level higher than his fourth rank, but this is not important. The key is that he is the governor of Shaanxi, and he has the additional titles of minister of the Ministry of War and censor of the Imperial Palace, which means He is a hunter on behalf of the sky, and he will also be an imperial envoy in popular terms.
The governor is not a permanent position but a temporary position. In many cases, the situation in a certain area is complicated and the court needs to send an extraordinary and plenipotentiary minister with comprehensive coordination of military and political parties to give unified command and order to handle the affairs of the area. The appointment of a governor generally lasts for no more than three years, and will be revoked when something goes wrong.
If such affairs are mainly based on military affairs and supplemented by civil affairs, then the court will set up a governor; if such affairs are mainly based on civil affairs and supplemented by military affairs, then a governor will be established.
However, as the military pressure on the Nine Borders increases, it has become a common practice for border areas to face the pressure of foreign invasion. Therefore, the establishment of governors in the Three Borders, Xuanda and Jiliao Nine Borders has become a permanent position. In comparison, the governors in the mainland have Instead, governors hold temporary positions.
The situation in Shaanxi is now quite critical, with civil unrest everywhere, but the classification is still civil unrest. Coupled with the mutual influence of severe drought and plague, the situation in Shaanxi is becoming increasingly serious. Therefore, the imperial court determines that civil affairs in Shaanxi are mainly civil affairs, so it sends a governor to Shaanxi. .
In fact, if it was mainly military, the governor of Shaanxi would not be established. Instead, the scope of powers of the trilateral governor would only need to be appropriately expanded. However, Feng Tang, the trilateral governor, is still on an expedition in Shandong, which is also a problem, so the governor of Shaanxi It couldn't be more appropriate.
However, in Feng Ziying's view, the military problems in Shaanxi are no less important than the civil affairs. The rebel forces that have formed a climate will not be easily wiped out by the time he arrives in Shaanxi. Moreover, these forces have become the largest in recent times. Judging from the movements of the rebellious troops, the signs of their development towards Henan and Shanxi are very obvious, especially Henan.
This is quite dangerous.
