Xinzi Scroll The Setting Sun Grass Tree Section 12 The Dust Settles

 Emperor Yonglong was silent.

It's not that he doesn't trust Feng Ziying, but that Feng Ziying is actually too young and has too little qualifications. Her qualifications as a Hanlin Academy editor seem to be prominent, but as Emperor Yonglong who has been immersed in the throne for almost ten years, he knows that she is just a consultant.

His status as a consultant can be said to be far-sighted, or it can be said to be an armchair strategist. If you want to say that he is capable in handling matters, it cannot be said that his real experience is in his one year in Yongping Mansion.

Emperor Yonglong also admitted that Feng Ziying had done an outstanding job as a co-president in Yongping Mansion for one year. He had done a lot of things and accomplished them all. Otherwise, he would not have even considered it and would have vetoed the cabinet proposal. However, in spite of his outstanding performance,

It's only one year.

Moreover, the position of the Shuntian Prime Minister was no different than others. It was not only the Qing army's affairs such as checking households, building bridges and paving roads, or opening mines and buildings, but also involved many civil affairs, taxes and levies, water conservancy, relief, public security and other matters, which were particularly complicated.

If the Shuntian governor is capable, then so be it. Feng Ziying has been working hard for several years and things have turned out well. However, the cabinet firmly disagrees with the adjustment of Wu Daonan. Pushing Feng Ziying up is actually to use Feng Ziying's sharpness and skill to do things.

This is a bit like treating Feng Ziying as a gunman. Doesn't Qi Yongtai understand this?

I wonder how much blame Qi Yongtai will take for Feng Ziying and how many shots he will take?

This will consume your network resources and damage your own prestige.

It seems that Qi Yongtai spared no effort in cultivating his disciple.

Seeing that Emperor Yonglong still refused to express his position, Li Sancai mused: "Your Majesty, I and others are all aware of your concerns, but in fact there is no need for it. Shuntian Mansion is at the feet of the Holy Emperor after all. If anything goes wrong, the seven departments in the court will

He and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can also help at any time. In addition, I think Feng Ziying's qualifications should not only be based on the performance of Yongping Mansion this year. I wonder if the emperor still remembers the severe floods in Beijing in the fourth year of Yonglong and the outbreak of the epidemic again. It is Feng Ziying.

He led a group of Qingtan disciples in Beijing to help with the relief effort and fight against the epidemic. I remember compiling a book called "Preparations for Epidemic Prevention". The Imperial Hospital still thinks it is of great value. It should have been written by Feng Ziying and a group of classmates...

…”

Emperor Yonglong was slightly surprised by Li Sancai's interruption.

Among the five cabinet members, if we say that Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji are out-and-out Jiangnan scholars, and Qi Yongtai is a Northern scholar, Li Sancai is a somewhat embarrassing role.

He was from the north, but he had good relations with the Jiangnan scholars. However, some of the more conservative Jiangnan scholars still refused to trust him, but Ye Fang and Li were still very friendly to him.

Although Qi Yongtai was a little dissatisfied with the other party, in general, Li Sancai was relatively neutral in the cabinet, and Qi Yongtai also felt that this person was somewhat close to the emperor. Although not as good as Zhang Jingqiu and Gu Bingqian, he still vaguely revealed some of this.

This meant that he didn't know whether Ye Fang and the other two were aware of it.

Emperor Yonglong was naturally aware of Li Sancai's looming tendency to get closer. He was a scholar who was very keen on fame and fortune, but he hid it very well. It was much more subtle than Gu Bingqian's explicitness, and Zhang Jingqiu was actually not that important.

He was just doing things out of gratitude for his promotion, so Emperor Yonglong certainly did not hesitate to give Li Sancai some support.

The tacit understanding and friendship between the monarch and his ministers also need to be cultivated slowly. Emperor Yonglong knew that among the cabinet members, Ye Fangqi and the other three were typical scholars.

In terms of interests, Li Tingji is not a pure minister, but he is not that confident, but Li Sancai is quite capable. If he can take the initiative to get close to him and use it for his own use, he will be a good chess piece to insert into the cabinet.

Of course, Emperor Yonglong also knew that if he did it too openly, Li Sancai would definitely be boycotted by the scholars and would soon be kicked out of the cabinet. Even he himself would not be able to keep it, so how to deal with this attitude and maintain a certain

Tacit understanding is the most important thing.

"In your opinion, is Feng Keng qualified to serve as the Prime Minister of Shuntian?" Emperor Yonglong nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, in addition to Fu Yin and Fu Cheng, Shuntian Mansion also has five general magistrates, Zhi Zhong and Fu Cheng, who all perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities. Feng Keng is very energetic and courageous in his work. This is true in Yong Ping Mansion.

The performance has also been proved. There are still five cities' military affairs and city patrols in the city, as well as the two counties of Daxing and Wanping. Therefore, I think that Feng Keng's vigor can be used to improve the security of the capital, and it must be appeased.

Cope with the possible refugees and the White Lotus Sect incident,..."

Li Sancai's reminder also made Emperor Yonglong shudder.

The land of Gyeonggi Province is not peaceful. The invasion of the Mongols caused the entire northern counties and states of Shuntian Prefecture to almost turn into a white land. Although the imperial court increased relief and recovery last year and moved 100,000 refugees to Yongpyeong, there are still many people.

Few refugees poured into the city.

The Ministry of Punishment is also reporting that the White Lotus Sect is developing rapidly among the refugees. There are many signs that the White Lotus Sect is very active inside and outside the capital, and it must be guarded against.

If the Qin Tian Prison predicts that there will be a severe drought in Beizhi and Henan this year, I am afraid that it is very likely that the refugees from the provinces in the south of Beizhi and even Henan will move north and south, especially in Beizhi, which is the first choice place for the refugees to eat and survive.

It's the capital, and Shuntian Mansion will face a big test again, and it really needs a ruthless character with strong skills and determination to do things.

To put it bluntly, if there is any mistake, you can directly blame Feng Ziying. Anyway, he is young, and it will not have much impact if he is dismissed from office and waits for two or three years before re-entering the official position.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yonglong finally nodded: "What you said makes sense, so in accordance with the opinions of the ministers, Feng Keng will be appointed as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion. However, Yongping Mansion also knows that the ministers should also consider suitable candidates to take over. Don't let Yong

Ping's great momentum fell by the wayside."

Qi Yongtai, who had been silent until now, handed over his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, the cabinet has already discussed the matter and asked Wai Lang, a member of the civil service department, to practice state affairs and serve as the magistrate of Yongping Prefecture."

Emperor Yonglong was stunned. Practicing state affairs? Number one scholar?

Seeing that everyone in the cabinet looked calm, Emperor Yonglong knew that these people had reached an agreement on practicing state affairs, so he stopped talking and nodded in agreement.

The next few personnel arrangements seemed to be uneventful. These had already been basically agreed upon during internal discussions between the Ministry of Personnel and the Cabinet.

However, Emperor Yonglong didn't know much about officials below the fourth rank, and he didn't even know much about some of the prefects who were in the fourth rank. He could only form a rough impression through the introductions of the officials and cabinet ministers as much as possible.

This is the tragedy of local officials, so why everyone is willing to crowd into the court. Even a fifth-grade doctor will have a much deeper impression on the emperor than a remote prefect of the fourth grade. After all, people often have the opportunity to go to the pilgrimage.

what about you?

Not being able to return to Beijing for three years, relying entirely on officials with "big plans" to decide your life or death. Unless you have deep connections and Austrian aid in the court, or you can make political achievements that cannot be ignored while in office, this kind of fate will

How frustrating it is to be in the hands of others and not even have the power to struggle?

The situation of several cabinet ministers discussing with the emperor in the East Study quickly spread throughout the capital city.

Compared with previous rumors, this time it is confirmed.

The Ministry of Personnel prepares preliminary discussions, the Metropolitan Procuratorate reviews, the Cabinet decides, and the Emperor approves. These are the necessary procedures for officials above the fourth rank.

If it is an official below the fourth rank, it will be discussed and formulated by the Department of Literary Selection and the Department of Examination. The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of Civil Affairs will jointly put forward their opinions. The Metropolitan Procuratorate will review the attached opinions and submit them to the elder in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. If the elder in charge of the Ministry of Personnel has no objections,

It can be submitted to the cabinet for decision, and the emperor can directly use his seal at that time. Of course, the emperor also has the right to veto, but the emperor may not know officials below the fourth rank, so the chance of veto is extremely small and can be almost ignored.

There are also some customary regulations here. For example, if the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Personnel vetoes some or all of the opinions, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has the right to submit them again.

At this time, the elder in charge of the cabinet will usually submit it to the cabinet, but if the plan is rejected, the Minister of Civil Affairs usually needs to resign as an apology.

This veto may be vetoed by the cabinet or the emperor. Therefore, in many cases, if the emperor is dissatisfied with a certain minister, he can use this situation to force the minister to resign. Similarly, a certain cabinet elder may express his dissatisfaction with the minister in charge of his department.

If you are not satisfied, you can also use this method. Even if the cabinet passes it, you only need to persuade the emperor to veto it, and you can force the minister to resign.

For example, for officials of third rank and above, decisions are basically not made by the Ministry of Personnel, but directly made by the cabinet and submitted to the emperor for approval.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate also plays an important role in this. If the Metropolitan Procuratorate denies the candidate for the Ministry of Personnel, then it needs to provide specific reasons. If the Ministry of Personnel does not accept it, it can also force the submission. However, if the candidate is not approved because of this, the Ministry of Personnel also needs to do this.

Responsible. Similarly, if the cabinet does not agree with the opinions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the relevant officials responsible for the Metropolitan Procuratorate will also resign to show responsibility.

Now that the Ministry of Personnel, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Cabinet, and the Emperor have completed the four rounds, the official decision has been announced. They will wait for the Ministry of Personnel to officially announce their official credentials, inform Feng Ziying to resign and hand over the affairs of the Yongping Prefecture, and at the same time return to Beijing to take office.

That’s it.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, this handover usually needs to be completed within three to five days after receiving the notice. Yongping Mansion needs to practice state affairs to take over. Feng Ziying also needs to return to the capital city and go to Shuntian Mansion to take over the office of Fu Cheng.

affairs.

On the second day after the decision was made by Dong Shufang's superiors, Wang Wenyan's horse quickly arrived at Yongping Mansion, and only then did Feng Ziying confirm that she was indeed going back to Beijing.

Everything basically went according to the original idea, Lian Guo Shi took over, which was what Feng Ziying was most satisfied with. If there was no suitable person to take over, Feng Ziying was really worried and would even rather not leave.

Now that the dust has settled, news has spread that Zhu Zhiren went to Honglu Temple to serve as the Minister of Honglu Temple. This means that almost at the same time, the magistrate and the magistrate will resign at the same time. This will take some time to dislocate for the handover.
