Prince Jin's Mansion... It's not convenient for Shen Yi to go there now.
Because he now holds a lot of power, it is inconvenient for him to interact with the clan.
What's more important is that both the father and son of the Jin Dynasty have public positions. The prince Li Mu of the Jin Dynasty is about to be the commander of the southeast coastal capital. The father and son are famous, and Shen Yi is solid. If they are entangled again, the emperor may really not be able to sleep. Already.
However, Prince Jin's words were mostly just polite words. In the environment of the imperial court, when Shen Yi carried his things to visit the door of Prince Jin's Mansion, Prince Jin's Mansion might not even dare to open the door to let him in.
So Mr. Shen nodded with a smile and said: "I will definitely come if I have the chance."
Prince Jin didn't even look back, he just said "hmm" and left with his hands behind his back.
Shen Yi looked at the King Jin's leaving figure, then looked back at the Manna Hall behind him.
Obviously, the uncle and nephew had just met.
As for what they talked about, it's not hard to guess.
Jin Wang Li Rui is still Jiankang Yin, responsible for the government affairs of Jiankang City, but he is a Shangguan and is actually Zhongshu, not the emperor, and there is no official matter that needs to be said to the emperor.
His coming to the palace could only be for one thing.
That is about the Jin crown prince Li Mu.
Mr. Shen stood at the door of the Ganlu Hall, and after thinking silently for a long time, Cheng Tingzhi, dressed in a crimson official uniform, walked out of the Ganlu Hall with a somewhat frivolous step.
Shen Yi went up to meet him. Seeing that his steps were unsteady, he held his arm and asked, "Master Cheng, how is the matter?"
Cheng Tingzhi took a few deep breaths, then looked at Shen Yi and said slowly: "Your Majesty said, let me go south with Bachelor Shen and return to Fujian to govern..."
This sentence means that he has obtained the position of governor of Fujian.
Mr. Shen was slightly absent-minded.
What a courageous employee, meeting a courageous leader.
But soon, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Congratulations to Cheng Zhongcheng."
"Is it a blessing or a curse, or both."
After Cheng Tingzhi's breathing stabilized, he looked at Shen Yi and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Scholar Shen, my official career only has six years left at most."
A term of three years. In theory, a local official, especially a feudal official, can only serve two terms in the same place at most, which is six years.
Fujian was obviously the last place where Cheng Tingzhi worked.
It is impossible for him to be transferred to other provinces, let alone to other posts
"Six years..."
He said in a daze: "I hope that I can handle the things that the court has to do and clean up the mess in Fujian..."
He raised his hands to Shen Yi and said, "I would also like to ask Scholar Shen to lend a hand and help."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "Zhongcheng, I am in the southeast, and this is the last year."
"This year, when the Fuzhou Shipping Division and the Guangzhou Shipping Division are built, I will withdraw from the southeast."
He looked at Cheng Tingzhi, whose hair had turned a little gray, and sighed slightly: "Zhong Cheng will probably have to walk alone in the future."
Cheng Tingzhi is very young.
He is not yet fifty years old.
He became the chief envoy in his forties and became the governor of a province when he was about to turn fifty. In theory, this person's official career is still very long, and it can be said that he has a bright future.
Because judging from his age, the possibility of him entering Zhongshu is very high.
It's a pity that because he was too strong-willed and offended too many people in the officialdom, he embarked on the path he is on now.
Regardless of whether he can accomplish anything in Fujian, his career here will end in Fujian.
After the two people said a few words, Cheng Tingzhi suddenly came back to his senses. He said to Shen Yi: "I almost forgot that His Majesty asked Bachelor Shen to go in and talk."
Shen Yi stood there with a helpless expression.
This guy can even forget the emperor’s orders!
He sighed and raised his hands to Cheng Tingzhi: "Zhongcheng, please go back and rest. We will discuss the details in detail on our way south."
Cheng Tingzhi nodded and said: "When will Bachelor Shen go south? I have to wait for documents from the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Jiankang, so it may take some time."
"rest assured."
Mr. Shen said with a smile: "Your Majesty's explanation cannot be delayed by the officials. It was just before Zhongcheng left Jiankang..."
"Don't forget to go to Zhongshu Province to visit several prime ministers."
Originally, there was no need for Shen Yi to remind him of such words. After all, Cheng Tingzhi had been an official in the imperial court for many years. However, Cheng Tingzhi was now on a dead end in his career, and Shen Yi was afraid that he would forget.
It would not be easy to do this without meeting the several prime ministers in Zhongshu and paying homage to the local officials.
Cheng Tingzhi seemed to have really forgotten about this. He suddenly said: "As soon as the documents from the Ministry of Personnel arrive, I will immediately go to Zhongshu to visit several prime ministers..."
Shen Yi nodded, turned around and said goodbye to Cheng Tingzhi, walked into the Manlu Hall and met His Majesty the Emperor.
Speaking of which, the monarch and his ministers have not seen each other for almost six or seven hours now.
Seeing Shen Yi walking in, the emperor first motioned for him to sit down, and then said with a smile: "After you go south this year, you will keep an eye on the Fujian governor for me to see if he can really do things. I am always a little worried. He said It sounds nice, but it doesn’t get anything done.”
Shen Yi bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I believe Cheng Zhongcheng can accomplish things."
The emperor turned over a page of the book and asked: "Why do you see it?"
"The Prime Minister's official experience during the investigation."
"He was a Jinshi at the age of twenty-four, and filled the vacancy of county magistrate at the age of twenty-seven. Later, he served as Tongzhi, Zhizhou, Zhifu, and even as a magistrate. It only took him twenty years to accomplish it. During the administration of a province, he has always made outstanding achievements."
"This kind of person is an official. As long as no one restrains him, he should be able to achieve success. It is said that he will take his wife and children to Fuzhou this year..."
The emperor touched his chin, thought for a while, and then said calmly: "Governing a government is very different from governing a province. There are many officials in the court who do well as prefects but are terrible as governors. But he can do this. The thought of serving the country is always good, so I let him give it a try."
"Fuzhou Shipping Division, my consideration for him depends on whether he can do well this year."
Co-author Cheng Tingzhi, a high-ranking official in the border area, still has a probation period...
Shen Yi sighed in his heart, and then suddenly remembered something.
If Cheng Tingzhi, the governor, was a "trainee governor", then Sun Fu, the original governor of Fujian, would probably not be removed.
Because the emperor wanted to keep him as a backup.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi raised his head and glanced at the emperor. Sure enough, the emperor continued.
"I am going to transfer Sun Fu, the former governor of Fujian, to Beijing to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
This is a demotion.
Shen Yi thought to himself.
The Ministry of Industry has the lowest ranking among the six ministries, and the six ministers and local governors are theoretically on the same level. However, the power of a province's feudal territory in the "jurisdiction" is far greater than that of one minister.
A local governor can only be promoted if he is transferred to the three departments: the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Husbandry.
The minister of the Ministry of Work was transferred to the Ministry of Works, which was promoted openly and secretly.
Even the word "liter" in Ming Sheng is not very obvious.
After the emperor finished saying this, he paused and continued: "Add Prince Shaobao."
After hearing these five words, Shen Yi only had four words in his heart.
It actually got promoted!
Sun Fu, the governor of Fujian, who had a lot of corruption in Fujian, and there was even solid evidence, not only was he not demoted and removed from his post, he was even promoted to a first-class official!
Generally speaking, when a local governor is promoted to the rank of Six Ministers and Prince Shaobao, it means that the imperial court will put him in a more important position, and he will most likely be promoted to Zhongshu to serve as the prime minister.
But... Sun Fu is already over sixty.
The possibility of worshiping the prime minister is not high,
Therefore, the title of Prince Shaobao is in name only for him, it is just an honorary title, and it is even a bit like a false name to coax a retired old man.
But no matter what, even if Sun Fu only served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry for a year or two before retiring, his entire official career could be regarded as a complete retirement and a good start.
As for Sun Fu, staying in the imperial court would not only make the situation in Fujian more fault-tolerant, but also become a sharp weapon in the hands of the emperor.
As long as Cheng Tingzhi did not do well in Fujian, Sun Fu would probably go south again, under the name of Prince Shaobao.
At that time, it will be a real disaster for Cheng Tingzhi!
Thinking of this, Shen Yi raised his head and glanced at the emperor, who was as young as himself, and couldn't help but sigh.
This big boss, who is the same age as himself, is growing up at a rapid rate.
He has become very proficient in using some of the checks and balances in the court, the so-called "imperial art".
It can even be said that this person is already a very qualified "professional emperor".
Mr. Shen bowed his head slightly towards the emperor, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
The emperor smiled slightly.
"Shen Qing is overly praised."
Thanks to the two readers "20220617000331247" and "PYHuang" for their rewards!
