Chapter 2104: Gui Zi Scroll: A little bit of talent and scheming
I thought so, but Pan Ruzhen didn't show any emotion. He just cupped his hand slightly to express his gratitude and said no more.
Following Wang Wenyan into the inner courtyard, this should be a merchant's house in Wubao County. It is not luxurious, but it is still grand.
The sun cast a few shadows through the eaves. Pan Ruzhen took a quick look and saw the young man standing in front of the porch with his hands behind his back. Although he was not wearing official robes, the aura between his brows and eyes was enough to indicate this person's identity.
"Pan Ruzhen, the governor of Yan'an Prefecture, has met the governor." Pan Ruzhen bowed respectfully and spoke in a respectful tone.
Feng Ziying was also sizing up the other party.
With Wang Wenyan's introduction, Feng Ziying's mentality also changed, and her views on Pan Ruzhen no longer had such strange emotions.
Judging from the posture of the other party, there is something like a scholar. Being able to sit firmly in Yan'an Prefecture for four years, although the north and south are in chaos, at least the states and counties around Fushi City can still be stable, which can be regarded as an ability.
Already.
"You're welcome, Mr. Pan, we should be colleagues. In the future, we have to work together to overcome difficulties, so there is no need to be so rigid." Feng Ziying smiled heartily, "I guess you have been muttering in your heart now, saying that I, the governor, have some problems.
If you don't follow the rules, shouldn't you cross the river from Laoniuwan? It's better to go to Yulin Town to find some access and bring the Yulin army all the way to sweep the rebels away? Why did you sneak across the river from Qikou and cause the rebels to rebel?
We were besieging the city and almost caused a riot? If something really happened, then wouldn't it be an even greater crime for you as the prefect, and wouldn't I also be harming you in disguise?"
Seeing Feng Ziying making fun of herself, Pan Ruzhen couldn't help but laugh. His impression of Feng Ziying changed a little. At least this person was not difficult, and he was not as arrogant as he had worried before.
It seemed that what the staff member surnamed Wang said was true. The governor seemed to be more willing to contact the officials below in a friendly manner. Of course, they also had their own agenda, and Pan Ruzhen knew this.
Picture what?
As the prefect of Yan'an, Pan Ruzhen certainly knew that there was a fierce fight between Lu Chuan, the chief envoy to the left, and Sun Yijie, the prosecutor to punish him, in Xi'an, which forced both the chief envoy to the right to report illness and retire from office. Of course, this was not entirely the case.
factors, but there must be this reason.
Although as the prefect of Yan'an, the argument should be biased among the two, the bad situation in Yan'an made neither Lu Chuan nor Sun Yijie willing to accept them. Acceptance meant that they had to give support, whether it was material or material.
In terms of responsibility, this is precisely the most troublesome thing.
So I was basically in a state of ambiguity. Both Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie were lukewarm towards me, neither rejecting me, nor formally accepting me.
Now the governor suddenly landed in Yan'an Prefecture, and almost single-handedly, but he opened up the situation, which is a bit subtle.
If Feng Ziying failed to win this chaos in Wubao, and even had to ask for help from himself, or rely on the Yulin Army, the situation would be different, but now, at least the forces of Suide, Mizhi, Jiazhou and Wubao
The officials all had to be convinced.
Pan Ruzhen believed that Lu Chuan, Sun Yijie and even the commander-in-chief with a weak sense of presence should be on their way to Wubao at this time, and the officialdom of Shaanxi should usher in a new era.
So what should you do?
Seeing Pan Ruzhen's expression changing slightly, but not responding, Feng Ziying didn't care either.
Since they all took the initiative to come to Wubao City from Fushi City, it can explain a lot.
From the information that Wang Wenyan has gathered in Xi'an in the past few months, the prefect of Yan'an should not have too many entanglements with Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie. It may have a lot to do with the current poor situation of Yan'an Prefecture. This is not good for him.
That's a good thing.
The situation in Yan'an Prefecture was very bad. If the governor were replaced, he might have to be dismissed as a warning to others. But as Wang Wenyan said, the bad situation in Yan'an Prefecture cannot be entirely blamed on Pan Ruzhen.
The harsh geographical environment, three consecutive years of drought, poor foundation, and the strictures on the border areas have led to this situation. There is also an important factor in this situation, and that is the strength of the local tyrants, especially in the southern areas.
The prefectures and counties also made Pan Ruzhen, who had just served as the prefect that year, suffered a lot.
The geographical location of Yan'an Prefecture is too important. Whether it is Shanxi in the east, it is also very concerned about the Mongols outside the border walls.
Key, so as the governor of Shaanxi, you can't avoid Yan'an. So since you can't avoid it, you might as well take the initiative. At least so far, you have made a good progress. The arrival of Pan Ruzhen proves this.
"No matter what Mr. Pan thinks in his heart, I don't think so. It is said that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall. After all, I am also an imperial envoy of the imperial court. I am a single member of the Feng family with three bedrooms. I don't even have any heirs. How can I put myself in danger?
, or even seek death?" Feng Ziying said indifferently, "Of course, as I shoulder the king's mandate, I have to do some things and take some risks, but at least I still have some confidence in my heart and will not make fun of a county citizen...
"
"But have you ever thought about it, my lord, if there is any flaw in your method of controlling chaos, it will be a huge disaster. If the people of Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluosi Village refuse to obey, or Wang Chengwu's chaos
If the army defected in the middle, the consequences would be unimaginable. "Pan Ruzhen couldn't help it.
"Yes, Mr. Pan, what you said makes sense, but tell me, as the governor of Shaanxi, how should I break the situation?" Feng Ziying asked, "It's really like what I just said, cross the river from Laoniu Bay and borrow
I used the Feng family connections to ask for reinforcements to move south steadily, but do you know that the Yulin Army cannot send tens of thousands of troops to quell the chaos in Shaanxi. Their responsibility is to prevent the Mongolian invasion! At most, three to five thousand people will be given to me.
This son of the Feng family and the right minister of the Ministry of War has lost face, and by the time He Shixian takes his time to mobilize his troops to go south, Wu Fort, Qingjian, and even Suide may have already fallen."
"Or maybe I just go all the way south to Pujin and cross the river, enter Xi'an City safely, and become the governor of Taiping? I can calmly dictate in Xi'an City, but how long do you think I can be a governor in that case? The court asked me to
To be such a governor? Then who else can do it? Lu Chuan can do it, Sun Yijie can do it, why should I come?"
These words were somewhat superficial, but Pan Ruzhen felt a little ups and downs in his heart. Did the governor want to confide in him? Just because he was the first fourth-grade official to come on his own initiative?
Or maybe the magistrate of Suide Prefecture and Mizhi County haven’t come yet?
It shouldn't be.
Pan Ruzhen calmed down and thought for a while before saying: "Then according to what you think, Yan'an Prefecture is the opportunity for you to come to Shaanxi to turn the tide?"
"Whether it can be the key to breaking the situation depends on whether the officials work hard and whether the soldiers serve their orders." Feng Ziying looked at Pan Ruzhen, "Master Pan, can I trust you?"
Pan Ruzhen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stood up and bowed his head: "But according to your orders, how dare I disobey my orders?!"
Feng Ziying waved her hands, not satisfied, but expected.
This person can be regarded as a veteran in the officialdom. He has served as a county magistrate and a censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He has never experienced anything. If he wants to be accepted by others, he really can't believe it. Maybe
Is this the hidden secret of Lu Chuan or Sun Yijie?
"Sit down, there is no need to be so polite. What I need here is someone who can know what to do, not just a subordinate." Feng Ziying gave the other party a meaningful look, "I will tell you about the situation in Yan'an Mansion in the past few years.
I knew something about it before, but I wasn’t very satisfied with it, but…”
"Not very satisfied" made Pan Ruzhen's heart skip a beat, but he knew that this might be a good start, but this person gave him a good start, which meant that the whip that whipped the fast cow would still fall on him, so what else could he do?
It's better to be really dissatisfied.
How could Pan Ruzhen not know that if he was set up as a model by Feng Ziying, he would immediately become the target of public attention in the entire Shaanxi officialdom, and Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie would immediately double their suspicions about him.
Even though he has the protection of this one, he is new here, how many means can he have to help him?
Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie were not without backers in the court, otherwise they would not have been able to sit still in such a dangerous situation.
Pan Ruzhen's mood was ups and downs for a while, but how could he ignore the kindness shown by others?
Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie had been lukewarm to him in the past two years, and he was terrified and helpless. Now that he had suddenly received such help, but he still looked forward and backward, fearing the wolf behind him, he deserved to be hopeless for the rest of his life.
After thinking about this, Pan Ruzhen's heart suddenly became clear, and his tone also changed: "My lord, I'm going to lower my rank..."
"Lord Pan, there is no need to be so impatient. Just listen to what I have to say..." Feng Ziying's tone became more and more leisurely, "Yan'an Mansion has a special geographical location and is in an awkward situation."
Embarrassing, and the people are poor and the land is barren, the imperial court itself did not expect much good fortune from this place, but in order to stabilize Yulin above, Anxi'an below, and the Jin Dynasty in the east, you can't do well, but it can't be considered bad, especially in
Under the current situation of three consecutive years of drought, it is rare that the surrounding counties and states of Fushi are still under control..."
Pan Ruzhen felt a little warm in his heart, and his evaluation was fair, and he was satisfied.
"As for whether you have had any problems with your work in the past few years, there have been..." Feng Ziying's eyes seemed to have a little more understanding, "Luochuan Public Case, Yanzhou Murder Case, you failed to persist, this is a mistake; Broken Gold Patrol
The establishment of the Procuratorate is timid for power and gives up halfway, which is the second mistake; the security guard suppresses the bandits, but ends at the beginning and ends at the end, this is the third mistake..."
Pan Ruzhen was surprised but also delighted. The governor actually knew so much about his regrets in the past few years. It showed that the governor not only knew the situation in Yan'an Mansion well, but more importantly, he should have known about the whole situation early on.
The province also has plans, and the connections should be good. This is what Pan Ruzhen is most happy about. If not, how can he deal with Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie?
