Chapter 1996 Gui Zi Scroll: Planning and calculating, deciding on the candidate
Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion with their hands behind their backs, and nodded to Li Sancai who came in.
"Chengfeng left?" Ye Xianggao rubbed his forehead and asked a little tiredly.
"He left, he talked to me about Feng Keng's matter." Li Sancai pondered for a moment, then stood still, "The situation in Shaanxi is not optimistic, or it is still getting worse. In addition to the increasing scale of the rebel army, and
There have also been cases of swarms emerging in many places, which is particularly dangerous. In addition, the pimple plague also has a tendency to spread. I am a little worried that it will spread to Shanxi and Henan. As Brother Chengfeng said, a strong and capable government is needed.
People go to Shaanxi."
Ye Xianggao said calmly: "Feng Keng is the only suitable candidate, but others can't? This is a bit ridiculous."
Fang Congzhe asked hesitantly: "Now that Gao Jiande has resigned due to illness, he went back to his hometown without waiting for the approval of the court. Lu Chuan, Lu Zijian and Sun Yijie are not on good terms. The two wrote to the court to criticize each other. It is not a secret in Shaanxi. This
The situation can't be dragged on any longer. The candidate must be finalized as soon as possible. Even if Feng Ziying doesn't go, the candidate must be determined immediately. Lu Chuan is not a suitable candidate for Zuo's chief envoy, let alone take over as governor. Sun Yijie is okay, but his ability
It's not enough, it can't hold the position,..."
Ye Xianggao also felt a headache after hearing this. Lu Chuan was from Jiangxi and could be considered a member of his own Fujian-Jiangyou system. He had to protect himself.
He also knew that Lu Chuan was overjoyed at success but had low ambitions and a somewhat arrogant personality. Therefore, he was incompatible with Sun Yijie, the silent but somewhat stubborn sentencing inspector.
This kind of virtue has a lot to do with the discord between the two of them.
"How about Li Banghua? He and Zijian are from the same hometown, and they have this kind of relationship..." Ye Xianggao asked.
"No, Meng An (Li Banghua's character) is also aloof and aloof. Although he and Zijian are from the same hometown, they have no friendship. They even turned against Zijian because his teacher Erzhan (Zou Yuanbiao) once criticized Zijian. Meng An wants to go
If it does, it will only get worse." Fang Congzhe shook his head repeatedly.
In fact, it is not just for this reason. Fang Congzhe is not optimistic that Li Banghua can shoulder this heavy responsibility. In essence, Li Banghua is more similar to Wu Daonan. He is not good at handling local administrative affairs and is too upright in his conduct.
, can’t be eaten locally.
Li Sancai was also not optimistic about Li Banghua, but seeing that Fang Congzhe had clearly denied it, he didn't say anything more. But if Fang Congzhe didn't say anything, he would come out as the villain.
In the final analysis, the Shaanxi issue still has to be implemented to quell the chaos. As the elder in charge of the Ministry of War, and his hometown is Lintong, Shaanxi, but he later lived in Shuntian Prefecture and participated in the scientific examination in Shuntian Prefecture, so he still has a deep understanding of his hometown.
Feelings, naturally don't dare to slack off.
"How about Mingqing (Zhou Jiamo)?" Zhou Jiamo is also an old man in the court, and now serves as the young minister of Honglu Temple in Honglu Temple.
Li Sancai quickly shook his head, "Ming Qinggong's body can't bear such a bumpy and tiring body, so why don't you choose another talented person to be your brother? If something happens, the Huguang scholars won't scold us to death?"
Zhou Jiamo is a scholar from Huguang. He is not young, but he resigned twice due to health reasons. Now he serves as Shaoqing in Honglu Temple.
"How about Chang Ru (Ding Yuanjian)?" Fang Congzhe asked again.
But Ye Xianggao took the initiative to veto it, "Chang Ru has a stubborn temper and lacks skills. This kind of tricky situation requires superb methods. If he goes, I'm afraid he will mess things up."
Fang Congzhe and Li Sancai also nodded silently. Ye Xianggao was still very accurate in judging people, and he hit the nail on the head.
After many rounds of selections, several candidates were put forward. Either they were not good at local government affairs, they were too old and in poor health, or they lacked the courage to make sudden decisions. Another very important reason was that most of these officials were related to the military.
It doesn't matter much, this is the most worrying thing.
But if you want to go to Shaanxi, you will first have to deal with the civil unrest that is rife with war.
The few groups of rebels that had formed a trend were naturally left to the Northwest Army, which was mainly based in Yulin Town, to deal with it. However, the rebel bandits who were composed of three to five hundred people, in just two or three months, were defeated.
At least twenty or thirty shares have popped up, and they are still growing.
These rebellious bandits are all over Shaanxi, especially in Weiduo, the three prefectures of Yan'an, Qingyang, and Pingliang. There are also signs of this in the northern areas of Xi'an Prefecture and the northern part of Fengxiang Prefecture. They even appear in the Wei Town control area. This is the most disappointing thing.
The cabinet ministers are worried.
The three of them walked along the path outside Wenyuan Pavilion, and the atmosphere was a little tense for a while.
This matter cannot be delayed, and all three of them understand that Li Sancai is actually not very opposed to Feng Ziying going to Shaanxi. Qi Yongtai also came to exchange views with him earlier and talked about the current situation in Shaanxi. Li Sancai also felt that Qi Yongtai still felt that in his heart
There was some hesitation and even a bit of reluctance to let Feng Ziying go to Shaanxi.
After all, there are risks in going there, not only the risk of career setbacks, but also the risk of life and death, the massive army, the lack of eyesight, and the epidemic of plague, all of which can lead to death if you don't pay attention.
Is it true that there is really no one in the imperial court who can be the governor of Shaanxi? If it were normal, I would have broken my head long ago, but in this case, 90% of the people have backed down and are looking for someone to go to Shaanxi.
Every time I come to visit, I have to give various excuses.
Zhou Jiamo can't go? How big is his health problem? Isn't he afraid that if he goes, it will affect his future prospects?
After a long silence, Li Sancai finally spoke: "If it doesn't work, I'm afraid I have to let Feng Keng go. To be honest, except for his age and qualifications, he is indeed the most suitable candidate."
Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe looked at Li Sancai.
Although Li Sancai was a scholar from the north, both Ye Fang and Ye Fang knew that Li Sancai and Qi Yongtai were not from the same group. They were closer to the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River and had a close relationship with the emperor, so they could maintain a transcendent status in the cabinet. He
Ye Fang and the two were still willing to listen to his opinions.
"Daofu, Chengfeng convinced you?" Ye Xianggao laughed.
"It's not really persuading. I've also put my finger on the people who can be used in the government. I've looked at them. I can only count them on my fingers, and they all have shortcomings and difficulties. Feng Keng's weaknesses are also obvious.
, he is too young and has too little qualifications, but he is a second-class Jinshi and a Shujishi, and he has the status of editor of the Hanlin Academy, which is enough for him to gain a foothold in Shaanxi officialdom..."
The officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty was also about one's family background. Compared with one's family background as a scholar, one would naturally have less confidence. Even when one was speaking as a superior, one would be less persuasive.
Jinshi is a big threshold, but there is still a difference between a second-class Jinshi and a third-class Jinshi, but the difference is not big. However, if you have the blessing of a Shujishi, the meaning will be different. More than 90% of Jinshi are not qualified to become Shujishi.
Jishi and Shujishi are the basic threshold for entering the cabinet and worshiping the prime minister. Without the status of Shujishi, no matter how great your ability is, you can't even think of joining the cabinet. Even the positions of the Seven Ministers and the Imperial Censor are almost impossible.
Hopeless.
If Shujishi is the threshold for the third-rank officials in the court such as the Seven Ministers and the Censor of the Imperial Academy, then having served in the Hanlin Academy is the blessing of a golden body.
In the 1980s and 1990s, all the cabinet ministers had experience in serving in the Hanlin Academy. Although this is not an iron rule, it is an unwritten rule in the official circles of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you do not have experience in serving in the Hanlin Academy, you will have to pay a lot if you want to join the cabinet.
He worked harder than others, and since Zhou Liguo came, both the first and second assistants had experience of serving in the Hanlin Academy. There was no first and second assistant who had not served in the Hanlin Academy.
This is why Feng Ziying worked so hard to get a position as a Hanlin Academy editor, because only the first-class Jinshi can directly enter the Hanlin Academy. The second-class Jinshi and the third-class Jinshi will depend on future opportunities to enter the Hanlin Academy. Feng Ziying is in Ningxia
Only by suppressing the rebellion and getting a special chance can he get the opportunity to enter the Hanlin Academy.
Feng Ziying had experience of serving in the Hanlin Academy. The only person in Shaanxi official circles who had experience of serving in the Hanlin Academy was Gao Jiande, the right-wing chief minister who had resigned due to illness. Even the left-hand chief minister Lu Chuan did not have this qualification.
Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe both nodded. Indeed, although Feng Ziying was young, her background was dazzling enough, and no one dared to say a word about him.
"In addition, I have also thought that to quell chaos, you must have the means and courage to fight chaos. There are several candidates in my mind who either have the means but lack the courage, or they have enough courage, but the methods are too crude and single and lack the firepower.
But I still recognize Feng Ziying's ability in Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion. As for his courage, this kid dared to swim out of Linqing Water Gate and come to me for help when he was only twelve years old. This is even stronger than his father. I
I couldn't believe it at the time, I thought Chen Jingxuan and Ru Jun were here to fool me..."
Li Sancai's words brought back a past event. The Linqing Civil War happened to happen to Feng Ziying at that time. Both Ye Fang and Ye Fang also heard about that incident. At that time, Li Sancai was the governor of water transportation. I heard Li Sancai talk about it.
The two of them were slightly moved by the original situation. This Feng Ziying was really a tiger with no dog son. She was indeed courageous and capable.
"Also, I don't know if the Second Master ever remembered that when Feng Ziying was still studying at Qingtan Academy, a plague broke out after the flood in Beijing. Feng Ziying brought a group of students from Qingtan Academy to help the government prevent the epidemic. I was deeply impressed.
We did a good job, and indeed suppressed the epidemic that year. In total, less than a thousand people died in the capital city. In previous years, three to five thousand people died would be considered light."
Ye Fang and the two knew what Li Sancai meant when he mentioned this. In addition to quelling the chaos, Shaanxi also needed to solve the problem of the spread of the plague. Otherwise, if the plague spread to Shanxi and Henan, there would really be a big mess, and Feng Ziying
Cha Cha also has experience in this area.
Together, these are enough to offset his age disadvantage.
