Chapter 32 Chapter 103 Mixed with Sand

Because Wang Yi and Yan Chao kept the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongle was overjoyed and opened the golden mouth to introduce the four of them as the counselors in Yanjing. How many fellows like them rely on textual research to make a living.But this kind of thing requires not only ability, but also opportunity, which cannot be compared. Old friends are envious, so they must pay a visit to congratulate. Many civil and military people in Yanjing line also have a good impression of the four of them. Now that they are colleagues, they can't help but get close to each other and invite the four of them to a banquet.The four of Wang Yi and Yan Chao knew that Xia Xun was the reason for their existence today. Facing invitations from all parties, they were unable to make a choice, because Xia Xun said: Yang Feng, a member of Yanjing Ritual Department, is a good man, you can get close to him.The four of them understood, and happily went to Yang Feng's appointment.

Although the four of them had just entered the officialdom, they had played countless old fritters in their lives. They naturally understood the risk of being on the wrong team. Xia Xun's seemingly unintentional words made them understand how to choose. Zhu Di now regards Xia Xun, his brother-in-law, as his lucky general. Xia Xun has already returned to Yanjing because of the North Korea incident, and he also explained to Zhu Di why it is easier to take the initiative when returning to Liaodong late than returning in time, so Zhu Di is not in a hurry Then told him to go back to Liaodong.Taking advantage of this opportunity, I just asked him to participate in the arrangement of Liaodong.

In the past, there was no local government in Liaodong, and there was only a guard. The entire Liaodong Metropolitan Division was subordinate to the Shandong Metropolitan Command and Envoy Division, and the administrative and judicial affairs that were concurrently managed by the Liaodong Metropolitan Division were under the supervision of the Shandong Chief Envoy and the Procuratorate. .Now Liaodong wants to set up an independent administrative system, and it is inconvenient to be supervised by Shandong. In this way, Liaodong has to set up a separate administrative department and an inspection department. The Liaodong capital will also be independent and upgraded from a military division to a military region.

This involves too many changes, and correspondingly, a large number of officials will be promoted and appointed. Xia Xun will stay in Yanjing for a while, and it will be convenient for him to fight for power. Xia Xun knew very well that Liaodong was officially established as a province (a province was called in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, this kind of administrative division was called the chief envoy, but this name is too awkward. Except for official documents, people still call it a province in colloquial language). A big piece of cake must be given to others, and if you eat it yourself, you will provoke public outrage. Out of necessary precautions, the emperor will not agree.

So he was mentally prepared to give up part of the benefits. It is inevitable that people will mix sand at the gates of the yamen (putting their own layout in the plan, similar to laying hidden piles.), as long as the general direction is still in their hands, The main power is in his own hands, and it does not affect him to reform Liaodong according to his own ideas. Necessary compromises and concessions have to be made. However, he must get the positions of Chief Minister Si Yamen and Chief Commander Si Yamen.These two yamen, one in charge of the people and the other in charge of the army, are the two most important yamen.It's not impossible to put it in the hands of an official who was not promoted by him. He is not a power-hungry person, and he doesn't want to stay in Liaodong for a long time.

This kind of worry need not be said by him, Zhu Di also understands.Regarding the promotion of the shogunate Shi Wanshiyu as Liaodong chief envoy, Zhu Di immediately nodded in agreement.Before he was exiled to Liaodong, he had been an official to the magistrate, and now his handling of the riots in Liaodong was remarkable, and his prestige had been established. No one else could fault him for appointing him as the chief envoy. The chief envoy is in charge of the administration of a province, and the imperial court has virtues, bans, and inheritance and broadcasting, which are issued to Yousi.All bureaucrats with full ranks are responsible for examining their competence and incompetence, and report to the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Every three years, he will lead the officials of his prefecture, state and county to make a pilgrimage to the capital to listen to and inspect the code.Participate in politics, participate in councils, and guard various departments, and assign management of grain storage, garrison, Qing army, post, water conservancy, and appeasement of the people.Experienced and responsible for document exchanges.According to milling, proofreading, and Dian Kan, the dossiers were sorted out, and the criminal names were asked.

If this position is won, it will be basically guaranteed that Liaodong will carry out reforms according to his intentions.As for the officials at all levels, such as participating in politics, counseling, experience, capital affairs, ambassadors, etc., others can mix sand with sand if they want to. Xia Xun didn't have enough manpower at hand, so it would not be a bad thing to transfer some experienced officials. Don’t be afraid of someone with ulterior motives. Wan Shiyu is a court official who climbed up step by step from the grassroots. If he doesn’t even have the means to train a subordinate official who likes to challenge his boss, then he is just a dou who cannot be supported. Great use.

The other is the commander of the capital. Xia Xun fought for this seat because the reform of the military household and farming system in Liaodong could not bypass the commander of the capital.The position of the palm printing capital is still higher than that of the cloth and the press. Without the cooperation of the commander of the capital, the military reform cannot go on. Naturally, this position should be reserved for Zhang Jun. And Qiu Fu was also eyeing the position in the army. The old man hadn't said a word when Xia Xun was vying for the position of chief envoy, and now he finally made a move.After some disputes between Xia Xun and Qiu Fu, it was finally decided by Zhu Di that Zhang Jun would be the capital of Liaodong.

Qiu Fu showed his old face and tried his best to drive this nail into Xia Xun's heart. Tang Jie was originally a member of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but now he was transferred to the Liaodong Capital, promoted to a higher level, and became a co-prefect. From the perspective of qualifications and status, it makes sense.The problem is that he and Xia Xun have a feud against killing their son. Although Xia Xun judged the case impartially, it should not be regarded as a personal enmity. When Tang Jie met him, he just told the story through tears, because Qiu Fu had made a plan to kill him in advance. So I didn't accuse Xia Xun of unfair law enforcement, but it was not appropriate for Tang Jie to form a team with him after all.

However, after Qiu Fu failed to fight for the position of the Liaodong capital with Hu Yanbo, the commander of Shanhaiguan, he took the second place and used Tang Jie as the commander of the Liaodong capital. After a while, he nodded and agreed, the emperor was unpredictable. Qiu Fu only thought that the emperor had more trust in himself, a veteran who had followed the emperor for many years, and he was overjoyed.Xia Xun reluctantly agreed, thinking in his heart, if this Tang Jie knows how to measure and know how to advance and retreat, then that's fine. If he goes to Liaodong, he dares to make trouble under his nose Xia Xun secretly sneered, feeling cold in his heart killing intent

According to the official system of the Ming Dynasty, the three divisions of the capital, the cloth, and the press stand together, which can effectively prevent the power from being dedicated to one, but it will inevitably cause some disadvantages of ineffective use.Therefore, the Ming court often sent supervisory censors or ministers to serve as governors, governors, inspectors, etc., to be superior to the three divisions, and to coordinate the problems encountered in the work of the three divisions. Now Xia Xun is the governor. This problem That's it. In addition, it is also necessary to have a division official to inspect whether the officials below the governor are honest and corrupt, whether they are wise or stupid, and how capable they are.Most of the officials in Liaodong have just taken office, and the inspection of them must not be relaxed, and most of this power is in the hands of imperial envoys.Huang Zhen and Shao Yunfeng, who are currently active in Liaodong, did this job. After they arrived in Yanjing, their correct report on the situation in Liaodong facilitated Zhu Di's correct judgment. Now that the various yamen in Liaodong are formally established or promoted to the top, a large number of officials have been expanded at once, and the supervision work is even more important. It is not enough to rely on these two people alone, and these two people are now inevitably labeled as Xia Xun. , and some more independent personnel are needed to join. The problem is that Huang Zhen is the Imperial Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the third-in-command, how many people you send, unless it is the Imperial Envoy Chen Ying, and the Deputy Imperial Envoy Wu Youdao, otherwise it will all be his Subordinates, the role of supervision is weak. Luo Qi seemed fair enough to propose that the ministers of Yanjingxing's ministries and institutes should serve as inspectors to make up for the shortcomings of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and form a third-party supervisory force.Luo Qian's proposal also had precedents in the Ming Dynasty, such as the governor and governor, inspector, imperial envoy and experience, prime minister, admiral and praise, Fuzhi, etc., depending on the time and place, it is good to have an effect. Luo Qian's proposal could solve this problem, so Zhu Di went along with it, and according to Luo Qian's proposal, Chen Shou, who participated in politics in Yanjingxing, was appointed as the prime minister of Liaodong to supervise military, political and judicial affairs. Damn Xipi, are you the only one who knows how to mix sand? Not to be outdone, Xia Xun immediately proposed that Yang Feng, a member of the Ministry of Rituals in Yanjing, and Li Yetian, Wu Qingyu, Wang Yi, and Yan Chao, who had just been appointed by Zhu Di as counselors in Yanjing, also be brought into the prime minister's office. The reason is that these people are familiar with Liaodong affairs and can better supervise the local governance situation.After some bargaining, everyone is happy in the end! The royal kitchen is as big as a palace. At the beginning of its construction, skilled craftsmen tried their best to design various pipes and vents for exhausting smoke and deodorizing. Therefore, even if dozens of stoves are cooking at the same time, it is rare in the room. soot. The charcoal fires were blazing under the stoves, and Ming'er was walking back and forth like a general with her little hands behind her back, giving orders.Xianggong left and came back again, but seeing that he was about to leave again, Ming'er was even more reluctant. Knowing that Xianggong would return to Liaodong soon, Ming'er personally cooked a few dishes for him today, to serve him well. Your farewell. The little Lolita back then is now a young lady in spring with all kinds of charms, with full breasts, slender waist, and all kinds of enchantment hidden deep in her bones.Yu Ye looked like a person, his slightly powdered face became as bright as a peach blossom due to the constant walking and the heat in the room, and his complexion became more beautiful. Princess, the mutton and radish are ready! A court chef who was honored to be downgraded from a big ladle to a water table because of the arrival of the princess is respectful and authentic. Ming'er let out an oh and walked over. The goat is a high-quality male goat, and it is a lamb. The mutton is naturally the smoothest and most firm part of the meat. It is fat and thin. Cleanly cut into cubes, prepared all kinds of seasonings such as onion, ginger and garlic, and then reported to Ming'er. Ming'er saw that the ingredients were ready, so she cleaned her hands, and put the ingredients into the pot according to the order of cooking. After everything was done, she ordered people to watch the fire. At this time, the cook who was preparing the second course also prepared the ingredients. Then he went to the second stove. Xia Xun was busy for Liaodong in the hall, and Ming'er was busy in the kitchen for her husband. They rode fast horses and dragged a trail of smoke and dust, rolling in from the south, with a red flag on their backs, and at the gate of the city, one of them took out a waistband first. The card was thrown in the air to a school lieutenant defending the city. The horse didn't stop, and rushed into the city wrapped in a whirlwind. There was a change in Annan, they were ordered by the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi, who was overseeing the country in Nanjing, to travel all day and night to report the news.
