Chapter 647 The New Deal begins
When two flowers bloom, first indicate one.
Under the leadership of Huang Chengyuan, the governor's yamen in Shandong was extremely unified in their opinions. While waiting for the cabinet's edict, they began to make arrangements.
Huang Chengyuan personally selected the candidates of the provincial governor's office, with fifteen people in advance. Each of them must carefully determine their position and ensure that their ideas are consistent with the court and the governor's office, and that nothing can happen.
Other political consuls selected Ji Nan Prefecture's governor, from point to face, to quickly unfolded in Ji Nan.
The Governor Yuan is a means for the imperial court to control localities and strengthen control, and it is not a method of winning over some progressive gentry.
The Governor's Yuan has great power and power, just like the six disciplines in the past, with a low position and a heavy weight, which is enough to make those gentry who look up to the court unattainable.
The relationship network of Ji Nanfu is complicated and affects the whole body. This is the key to everyone's struggle, especially the deputy governor.
As the news spread, the threshold of the governor's yamen was broken, and even those who were still watching couldn't help coming to the door. This is a real benefit and no one can stand it!
The efficiency of the cabinet was faster than Huang Chengyuan expected, and he sent it over early the next morning.
Huang Chengyuan summoned everyone, looked at the cabinet's edict, and his depressed mood has greatly relieved recently.
"Sir, I suggest that we make a big choice and set aside firecrackers in the Governor's Office for a few days so that everyone in the east of the mountain knows..."
"Yes, let the officials and gentry of the entire Shandong East win over, and our affairs will be easier to do..."
"Yes, the Governor's Yuan is just the first step. There are also the Criminal Prison Department, Dali Temple, and especially the taxation, summer grain is about to win them over, and they will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort..."
"The officials don't think so." Senator Han suddenly said.
Huang Chengyuan looked motionless and smiled and said, "Tell me, look."
Senator Han bowed slightly and pondered, "If we set the Governor's Office now, it might help us a lot, but those who were not selected will be resentful and will definitely become an obstacle. If we choose slowly and everyone feels that it is possible to be selected, then our resistance will be reduced, and at the same time, the assistance will increase greatly, and it will never be twice the result with half the effort..."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they opened their eyes wide. Senator Zhou smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou is really insidious in this move, so I agree!"
"This method is really good. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with selecting carefully. It's not impossible to hold on until the summer grain is completed..."
"Okay! Then let's make a plan, choose some people every ten days or half a month, so that they have hope, and give them a chance to show off. Then, it will be a sensational publicity..."
Huang Chengyuan listened and said in his eyes, "No, it's a good idea! As soon as possible, when the Governor General Yuan promoted it, we acted secretly and slowly structured the State Administration of Taxation, Criminal Prison Department, and Dali Temple..."
"Abide by the order!" A group of political senators responded, their expressions rising.
With the principle of success, it will be much easier to do things below.
The Governor's yamen was very fast. In less than half an hour, all the information about the Governor's ranks all over the streets and alleys of Ji Nanfu, causing a huge shock.
"Have you heard that the 'Jingzheng New Policy' has arrived in Shandong. We will start to select the provincial governor's envoy, deputy governor..."
"I read the notice. This provincial governor's court is amazing. As long as the number of people reaches a certain level, the governor's head can be directly deposed without the governor's head, all officials below the governor's yamen, including the prefect of Ji Nanfu..."
"It can also investigate all government affairs except the governor's yamen, and all prefectures and counties are within the scope..."
"It can also enact local laws, and once it breaks the law, it can investigate and depose..."
"Once you enter the Governor's General Assembly and become the Governor's envoy, the Governor has no right to appoint and remove him, and the consent of the higher level is required..."
"That power sounds shocking..."
"No, many people are opposed and are about to go to the governor's office to make trouble..."
"If you make trouble, this is the 'Jingzheng New Policy'. What's the use of plagiarism in the Governor's Office? More people are now thinking of ways to squeeze into the Governor's Office..."
"It is said that at the three levels of provincial prefectures and counties, each governor needs 49 people. Even if the provincial level cannot enter, there are prefectures and counties, and some lively things can be watched..."
The officialdom has always been a pit of carrots, but now there are so many official positions out of thin air, which is enough to make countless people excited, and then they break their heads and grab them.
Like a stagnant mountain and eastern political arena, the matter of the Governor's General Assembly was completely disturbed. At this time, we can no longer be safe and stable and wait to make a fortune without doing anything. We either walk around and want to hold our thighs or just want to squeeze into the Governor's General Assembly. This is a powerful yamen with real power. Once we enter, we will have a huge power and our wealth will naturally roll in, and we will not be afraid of anyone!
Chen Zilong, Mao Pijiang, Gong Dingzi, Gu Hengbo, Liu Rushi and others gathered again, which was the last party before entering Beijing.
This time it was on the edge of Baotu Spring, in an exquisite courtyard.
Several people sat in the pavilion and looked at the lush green scenery everywhere, and were in a particularly good mood.
"Brother Gong, your impeachment is a bit reckless." Chen Zilong said to Gong Dingzi.
Mao Pijiang knew that Gong Dingzi publicly impeached Yang Fengzhong, but he was simply moved by Zhu Muyu's words and wanted to flatter the emperor and the governor's yamen.
Gu Hengbo didn't like others to contempt Gong Dingzi, but Chen Zilong's "identity" was higher. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Liu Rushi, who was beside him, was also as clear as a mirror, wearing a man's outfit, holding a long ponytail, with a calm expression, holding a pen, and was writing something.
Gong Dingzi was also extremely dissatisfied with Chen Zilong and said with a smile: "Magistrate Yang and Brother Chen's Chen family are old friends. I'm not surprised that Brother Chen said this. But this Lord Yang received nearly 100,000 taels of gifts this time, which seriously violated the laws and regulations of the court. I wonder what Brother Chen thinks?"
Gong Dingzi's words were very harsh and hit the vital point.
The others couldn't help but look up at Chen Zilong, with different expressions.
The "Nine Regulations" issued by the court, which are called "Nine Regulations of Integrity" by the outside world, is meant to be slashed at all officials. It seems to be dignified, righteous and irrefutable. But the actual situation is that there are too many things that are used to. No matter how open and upright these regulations are, they cannot stop people's "common sense" and "habits".
‘If you are too wrong, it is right’, this sentence is extremely appropriate at this time.
Yang Fengzhong's affairs have been a habit in the past century. If you don't give gifts or accept gifts, you are heretics, you are not sociable and you will be excluded.
The court's laws and regulations had a strong conflict with reality, and it had a severe test for the officials of the Ming Dynasty and the Shilin. Behind this test is the true view of the Shilin class on the new policy of the court, and the court's various regulations to select suitable people to enter the government while deleting the "violating" people.
Liu Rushi stopped writing and looked up at Chen Zilong.
The Shilin class in the Ming Dynasty liked to talk about the most was righteousness, and demanding oneself and others with various righteousness. Now that the righteousness is overwhelming itself, how should we deal with it?
Chen Zilong's expression remained unchanged, glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "As far as I know, Lord Yang took out 3,000 taels of relief to the victims last year, which is the most in the mountains and east."
Gong Dingzi immediately sneered and said, "Brother Chen is very eloquent, but I don't know if the governor's yamen thinks that."
When Gu Hengbo heard this, he said with a smile on his face, "If Governor Huang had not noticed that day, Mr. Gong had forced himself to break into the Yang Mansion and reported it to Governor Huang in person."
Liu Rushi turned his head and looked at Gu Hengbo, then looked at Gong Dingzi, and wrote: "Precautions, flattery, bribery, accepting bribes, and causing unrighteous officials; if the official is not upright, the heart is hard to calm down, the flies are slack, and the result of people being overly erratic...'
Chen Zilong ignored Gong Dingzi, not knowing that Liu Rushi was already on the road of caring for the major affairs of the country. He turned to look at her and said, "Rushi, I will set off to Beijing tomorrow to prepare for this year's imperial examination. Are you... going with me?"
Liu Rushi had decided to go south with Zhu Xu's fleet. Although he could not be with the emperor, he also wanted to know what the emperor wanted to do and do his best.
She didn't raise her head and kept shaking her head and said, "If such a woman is nothing to do when she goes to Beijing, I wish Brother Chen a high school day, to enter the court overnight, to serve the king and the people, and to show his ambitions."
Chen Zilong looked at Liu Rushi and frowned slightly. He heard something was wrong from Liu Rushi's words. In the past, she never said anything like "for the king and the people."
Seeing that Chen Zilong was defeated, Gong Dingzi felt relieved and rushed to the topic and said, "Rushi, can you recommend Brother Zhu that day? I want to tell him something."
Liu Rushi paused his pen and looked up at him and said, "Why did Brother Gong say that?"
Gong Dingzi glanced at everyone, and said directly: "I went to Yang's mansion that day, and happened to see Rushi and Brother Zhu are there too. Thinking of that day, I and Brother Zhu and I want to communicate with each other again."
Liu Rushi's expression was still moving, but he knew in his heart that it was Yang Fengzhong's attitude towards Zhu Muyu that made Gong Dingzi see something.
‘Gong Dingzi is a man with a bad mind. If he enters the court, he will not be a blessing in the world.’
Liu Rushi said in his heart, lowered his head slightly, and continued to write, saying, "Brother Gong misunderstood. Brother Zhu and I just met by chance. Brother Chen was there that day. I don't know where he lives, and I have never made another appointment."
Chen Zilong naturally knew that Liu Rushi was obviously not a common friend with Zhu Muyu. He was smoky in his heart and smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Gong misunderstood."
Gong Dingzi glanced at the two of them and sneered in his heart, "You want to take it alone, but if you don't recommend it, I have another way!"
Gong Dingzi missed the forced invasion of Yang's mansion and made a big splash, but there was another chance!
He had heard that the emperor would summon officials at the Governor's Office tomorrow. At that time, if he forcibly broke through and sued Yang Fengzhong, the effect would be greater. The emperor would definitely remember him and use him with great importance!
Liu Rushi continued to write, and when he looked back, his eyebrows frowned slightly. He wanted to write again, but he felt that there was nothing to write in his heart.
‘I’ve been wise and wise. I’ve definitely known this for a long time since the emperor has Brother Zhu around me. I just wrote it to be a joke… What is the emperor? Brother Zhu didn’t take care of…’
Liu Rushi sat there, falling into deep thoughts.
The conversation with Zhu Xu that day made her realize that the emperor's actions were further than she expected. What she had thought in the past was just a small fight and could not get into a good place. Recently, she has been working hard to help the emperor and "Brother Zhu".
