In the past thirty years, the administrative seat of Gyeonggi Province has been moved several times. It was originally located in Luoyang, then briefly moved to Kaifeng, and then was arranged by Emperor Liu to Zhengzhou. The longest period was about fourteen years.
.
In the 13th year of Kaibao's reign, Emperor Liu moved Zhengzhou again because it was located in the north of Gyeonggi Province, which was not conducive to the management of the southern states. He moved the headquarters to Xuzhou in the south for centralized management, which continues to this day. It can be said that,
It is getting further and further away from the political center of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, Gyeonggi Province's political status as the number one province in the world has never been shaken. After all, the name "Gyeonggi Province" intuitively explains its political significance.
However, Gyeonggi Province, the best province in the world, is not as beautiful as it seems. Yizhi, Luoyang and Kaifeng are also under the jurisdiction of Gyeonggi Province. However, the system belongs to the system, and the actual situation is extremely different.
The independence and autonomy of the two prefectures of Luoyang and Kaifeng were too strong, and the Gyeonggi Province Division was unable to effectively restrict them. When they were both in the capital, they encountered an official with a strong background like Huiguo Gong Song Yanji.
At that time, it was still able to play a certain role in intervening. However, with the relocation of the administrative office and the departure of Song Yanhou, after decades of development, the Gyeonggi Provincial Department was completely unable to direct the two capitals.
The combined area under the jurisdiction of the two Gyeonggi Prefectures covers nearly half of Gyeonggi Province, and has more than half of the population. As for the economic level, it is far higher. Therefore, excluding these two prefectures, Gyeonggi Province is an extremely ordinary province.
The only advantage is that it "surrounds" the two capitals and is closer to the center of power.
Over the years, there has been a saying among the government and the public that they would rather serve as governors of the two capitals than envoys of Gyeonggi Province. This shows the awkwardness of Gyeonggi Province. Although its status is special, it is not as special as the governor of the second governor.
But even so, the appointment of every Gyeonggi Province official still affects the hearts of the people. Although there is no lack of ridicule on weekdays, its special political status is still recognized and noticed by everyone.
Recently, Gyeonggi Province has changed people again. It was proposed by Minister Ling Zhaopu who has paid homage to the Prime Minister for the second time. The reason is also very simple. In order to implement the will of the court on tax reform and better promote development, Gyeonggi Province, as a reform pilot area, needs a newer government.
An official who could understand and be more effective, and the person Zhao Pu selected was Pan You, the chief envoy to Huaixi.
Pan Younai was a surrender official in the south of the Yangtze River. He served in the Li family in his early years. He was appreciated by Han Xizai and recommended to Li Jing, the central leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was not only a member of the Jiangbei scholar group in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but also a staunch figure in the Jiangnan reform presided over by Han Xizai.
supporter.
However, Pan You was young at that time and his status was not high. Han Xizai's reforms failed due to the counterattack of Jiangnan nobles and gentry groups. The Southern Tang Dynasty also failed to escape the fate of being unified by the Han Dynasty. Instead, the Han Dynasty led the attack on Jiangnan.
During the reform (cleansing) of the interest class, Han Xizai realized his political ideas, and Pan You also performed well in it.
In his posthumous memorial after Han Xizai's death, he did not forget to recommend Pan You, saying that he was dedicated and courageous in his duties. Pan You's official career took a further step. He once served as the secretary of Zhongshu and participated in central affairs of the imperial court.
However, some of Pan You's later political opinions were too "retrospective". Although they were reasonable and logically consistent, they were not practical and were ultimately not accepted by Emperor Liu.
In addition, Pan You has a withdrawn personality, extremely poor interpersonal skills, and is fond of criticizing current affairs, which offends many people. He is also extremely ugly and is disgusted by others. Although he was born in the north, his background in the south of the Yangtze River has always been consistent with his origin in the north of the imperial court.
The aristocrats and bureaucrats are separated by one layer, and it can be said that they are disliked by everyone.
It was during the early years when Zhao Pu first became prime minister that his position and power were not stable. It was necessary to cultivate forces, recruit talents, and maintain and support him from time to time, so that Pan You could gain a foothold in the court.
However, Pan You was quite angry and felt that it was difficult to achieve his ambitions in the court. He even complained about Emperor Liu's rejection of his ideas. He was aware of his dangerous emotions and Pan You's initiative to request for release. Zhao Pu
Agreed decisively.
During the great flood that affected the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in the tenth year of Kaibao, Pan You first took over the mess in Puzhou. Three years later, he was transferred to Fenzhou, and then continued to Yanzhou, Liuzhou, and Huangzhou.
For more than ten years, he was still moving up the rank of magistrate, making no progress at all.
Obviously, he was suppressed to a certain extent. Of course, Pan You's personal factors were very important. He had a bad temper and was not worldly at all. Although he was dedicated to doing things and liked to discuss things as they happened, he was not gregarious.
Pan You's aloof character was also amplified during his political career. He was rigid in his political style, did not know how to moderate, and was unwilling to use smarter methods. Every time he took office, in addition to having bad relations with his colleagues, he often offended others.
A large number of interest groups, whether they are the descendants of nobles, powerful landlords, or even ordinary people, as long as they are in his hands, they will not recognize their relatives and will be punished according to the law.
Everyone is carrying the sedan chair, but Pan You, on the one hand, excludes the people carrying the sedan chair, and on the other hand, he constantly touches the interests of those gluttonous people. How can it be good? If this person didn't have some background and accumulated some qualifications, he would have been there long ago.
was knocked down.
Among them, it's not that no one has targeted him, but Pan You is indeed very clean, his parents died young, his son died young, his daughter married far away, his relatives never interacted with him, he was not close to women, not to mention greedy for money, and he had a lot of problems with him.
It's like it's covered in a turtle shell that makes people unable to eat.
As for frame-up and false accusation, the political risks involved are too great. Pan You is a "barefoot" person. With his character, a small matter can cause huge trouble for you.
Therefore, for more than ten years, Pan You served in several states, and local officials and gentry were looking forward to the end of his term day and night, and hurried away, just like encountering the god of plague. As time went on, Pan You became the number one lonely person in the world.
The key point is that this lonely minister was not appreciated by Emperor Liu. One can imagine what Pan You's career was like.
As for the places where he takes office, except for Pu and Fenzhou at the beginning, they are all areas with old, young, border and poor people. It is not that easy to retain a state capital level.
In fact, after Zhao Pu resigned as prime minister, Pan You's political career was almost over. One of the key reasons why Pan You did not suffer a major blow before was that he was regarded as a close confidant of Zhao Pu and had stayed in the central government.
There must be some hidden joints.
However, people's fate is always unpredictable. After a wave of officialdom and rectification swept across the country, Pan You remained undisputed with his well-known performance in the past. He was even regarded as a model by the imperial court and vigorously promoted.
At this time, the importance of accumulation became apparent. With an edict, Pan You was directly promoted from Huangzhou to Huaixi Chief Envoy, replacing his predecessor who had his head cut off.
After less than a year in office, Enxiang was reinstated. The tax reform came fiercely, and he was transferred to Gyeonggi Province to become the number one in the world to preside over the reform and promotion work. In one year, he went from a small Panhuangzhou to a famous one.
The fate of Pan Shijun in the world is truly staggering and eye-catching.
Of course, this was first approved by Emperor Liu. With his emphasis on tax reform, it was impossible to let just any cat or dog take office in the important areas of Gyeonggi.
Previously, after some investigation, in the past ten years or so, Pan You has achieved a transformation from pragmatism to pragmatism. Although his government has been criticized as "harsh", everything is in accordance with the provisions of the law, and there are almost no
He is arbitrary and self-absorbed, and his political views are no longer as idealistic as in the past. He is meticulous in his work, but he has clear ideas and clear goals. He is a person who dares to do things and can accomplish things.
Reform is something that offends people and requires pressure from all sides. At this point, Pan You's quality obviously does not need to be questioned. So Pan Shijun took office quickly, while the bureaucrats from top to bottom of Gyeonggi Province struggled.
The day has also begun.
In Xuzhou, Yingchang City, in the majestic Si Yamen, Pan Shijun was furious, slapping the table gum, and said sternly: "The deadline has come, the land registers of other states and counties have arrived, why hasn't it arrived in Zhengzhou?"
