Chapter 2450 Gui Zi Juan enters Baoshan empty-handed, feeling itchy and unbearable
"The situation in Ningbo is relatively simple. The prefect Wei Guozhen has not been very close to the Tang family. It can be said that they just got on the line and accepted three thousand taels of bribes..." Chai Ke did everything he could, "Shuxiang also said that this person is a pity. In terms of ability, he is not bad either. It turns out he is the prefect of Yongzhou, Huguang..."
"The prefect of Jinhua, Zhen Yinghui, has been vacant for more than a month since he was taken down. 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 it is urgent to finalize it as soon as possible... "
"The problems in Ningguo Mansion are very complicated. The three consecutive prefects have received many reports, as well as the magistrates and officials. However, in the past two years of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, Shuxiang has been powerless and can only tolerate it temporarily. Now he can finally I feel proud and excited. The former prefect of Ningguo Prefecture has been 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 a good thing. He has knocked them all down with one blow..."
Chai Ke didn’t have much to hide in front of Feng Ziying, and he also understood some of Feng Ziying’s thoughts.
In fact, who came to his door in the past few days was not for this round of personnel changes in Jiangnan?
So far, in the four provinces of Nanzhi, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi alone, there are eight prefects 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 their own devices.
"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, “Are they those classmates or 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.
He was considering whether He Fengsheng, Wu Di, Fan Jingwen and Fang Youdu could be appointed to Jiangnan, as well as several candidates from Shaanxi.
Neither He Fengsheng nor Fan Jingwen are from Jiangnan, so they do not need to flee their hometowns. Moreover, they will have served in Shuntian Prefecture for three years. They are also Jinshi and are 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 Yanzhou, and Yuan Wanquan, the magistrate of Jiazhou, were two officials who had not had time to adjust before Feng Ziying left Shaanxi. However, these two seemed to recognize 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 was unable to see him. In the first half of this year, he also sent a so-called ice tribute, which made Feng Ziying feel very grateful.
Chai Ke nodded slightly. It was definitely okay to recommend someone, but it was not necessarily true whether he was suitable for a certain position.
“Yuan Wanquan, the magistrate of Jiazhou, is experienced in work and has a tolerant and reserved character…”
Chai Ke silently took down a few 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 Ministry of Punishment, and is he willing to be released? This is not easy, but he has no experience in doing local work. I think he can go to Zhejiang to do some work in the Procuratorate of Punishment. By the way, Going to the Military Preparation Road to serve as a military preparation officer concurrently can be considered as a way to gain more experience..."
The rank of Si Qianshi, the envoy of the Ministry of Punishment, is the fifth rank. From the sixth rank of the Chief of the Ministry of Punishment to the fifth rank of the Chief of the Ministry of Punishment, Si Qianshi, the envoy of the Punishment and Inspection Bureau, it is a two-level promotion. However, it is also reasonable for officials from the capital to be sent to other places.
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 to one level is nothing more. 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 co-intellects..." After pondering for a long time, Chai Ke finally said slowly: "But we have to talk to Liu Ji Gong about this."
Moreover, both Wen Tingshou and Yuan Wanquan were from the fifth rank of the prefecture. According to the convention, it is no problem for you to be promoted to the same prefecture. But if you don’t have good 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 political envoy of 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 about 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 a treasure mountain but returning empty-handed, which is extremely uncomfortable.
Who has too little money in his pocket? It’s really uncomfortable to watch such a perfect opportunity pass by.
"Qiu Wei Enke has been finalized. It's a little 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." Chai Ke finished talking about the main business and said something off-topic, "Next spring, Enke is about the same. 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 and said, "It is true that she studied very hard, but she is a little younger, so there is still a long way to go. One estimate is that Enke will not be a big problem this autumn and autumn, but it is hard to say whether she 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 finds it difficult to deal with it, so it can only drag it. However, the emperor seems to be very free and easy, and he is not concerned about all this. 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 he didn't like Emperor Wan Tong's style of doing things.
You can’t even protect the people who are following you. Who else will be willing to follow you in the future?
I am afraid that if there is another crisis, everyone will betray their relatives and leave their relatives.
Feng Ziying was silent.
Emperor Wan Tong no longer seems to be as bold as he was when he was a prince. This is probably 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 getting older, 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 and Miu 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 lazy in some things.
If Emperor Wan Tong is to have a falling out with the cabinet now, then 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. .
It’s just that the cabinet will let Emperor Wan Tong fulfill his wish so easily?
Feng Ziying felt that it was hard to say. Maybe he would have to wrest a lot of power from Emperor Wan Tong before he 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 tolerant. Since he has become the emperor's personal minister, sacrifices are inevitable. He should be mentally prepared. If you give it a try, if you lose, you will lose only him. If he wins, maybe the Jia family will be able to turn around and get back on its feet, no loss." Feng Ziying smiled, "I guess the court has no intention of doing 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 This time, 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 It’s my best effort.”
"How can you not do your best for someone after you take in their daughter? It seems that your two wives are also close relatives of the Jia family, right?" Chai Ke smiled, "Ziying, your reputation as a charming and charming person has spread to the south of the Yangtze River, Jinling You have taken four of the city's two hairpins and three jade for your own benefit. You really don't have taboos. The eldest daughter of the Zhen family is a married woman, and you are just as happy to have them. Don't you avoid taboos? Wait until the Zhen family women enter. Wouldn't it be better if you go get it back after Jiaofangsi?"
Chai Ke’s teasing made Feng Ziying a little unable to resist, so she could only hand over her hand and apologize, "Brother Zishu, this is my younger brother Meng Lang, but the end is done..."
