Chapter 2167 Gui Zi Scroll Start sharpening the knife
It only took three days for the governor's office to be quickly launched. This efficiency shocked everyone in the chief envoy's office and the inspector's office.
I originally thought that after Feng Ziying arrived, she would probably need to recuperate her energy for a period of time, such as convening people from the Chief Envoy's Department, the Inspector's Envoy's Department, and the Metropolitan Commander's Department for liaison discussions, or first visit the Third Division and the Xi'an Prefecture to understand the situation.
, listened to the opinions of the officials of the third department, and waited until the time was right before listing the office. However, they did not expect Feng Ziying to move so quickly, which caught both Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie off guard.
The relationship between the governor's yamen and the three divisions' yamen is relatively complicated. Theoretically, the chief envoy's office is responsible for five of the seven imperial ministries, the prosecutor's office is responsible for the criminal department and the imperial court, and the imperial envoy's office is responsible for the military department, while the governor only also serves as the military department.
The positions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Metropolitan Procuratorate include guidance and responsibilities for the Imperial Procuratorate and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and more supervisory powers for the Chief Envoy.
But this is on the surface. As a deputy to patrol the sky, the governor has the right to intervene in any affairs of the province, but the intervention and specific handling are another matter. It depends on the influence of the governor on the officials in the entire officialdom.
and how much control you have.
It's like a chief envoy department. In addition to the left and right chief envoys, there are also a number of political and political councilors, including the experience department, the care office, the inquiry office, the prison department, the miscellaneous manufacturing bureau, the weapons bureau, and the Baoquan department.
Bureau, Textile and Dyeing Bureau and other agencies, as well as countless low-level officials. Summing up, the number of political and council members from the third and fourth grades alone ranged from five or six to eight or nine.
These are the deputies and assistants of the chief envoy, and their role is not trivial. As the chief envoy, you can suppress and idle individual political counselors who do not listen to you and are against your will, but it is absolutely impossible to shelve a large number of political counselors.
, of course, if it gets to that point, you, the chief envoy, will not be able to play anymore.
So this is a question of influence. When these political and political councilors all feel that the governor's instructions must be accepted and implemented, it is meaningless for you as a chief minister to object. You cannot even openly oppose it. At most, you are violating it in disguise.
, but there is nothing you can do about people's political participation and council participation in accordance with the governor's instructions. After all, being on the stage means that as the chief envoy, you may be impeached by the governor.
In the final analysis, it still depends on who has more dominance in the officialdom of the province and whether the governor can transform the trust of the court into influence on the entire local officials.
What Feng Ziying is doing now is to quickly establish his dominance and influence control through the military operation of quelling the chaos.
For officials across the province, especially those living in Xi'an, the civil unrest in the east has seriously endangered their own safety. Not only is their black hat shaky, but it has also endangered their personal safety. People like Hancheng and Taiyang
Local officials in several places either died in the chaos, or fled back to Xi'an and were dismissed from their posts pending investigation. Some of those who neglected their duties were even imprisoned.
In addition, the situation in northern Shaanxi has worsened overall, making all the officials in Xi'an like ants on a hot pot, unable to sleep or eat well.
The arrival of Feng Ziying and the listing of the Governor's Yamen undoubtedly suddenly became the backbone of the officials and people in Xi'an City.
No matter what, the presence of the Imperial Envoy in person, and the fact that he came to the city of Xi'an at such a stormy time, made everyone feel a lot more at ease.
Moreover, this governor was born in the Imperial Academy, and came from Shuntian Prefecture in the capital. Others would have been unable to hide, but he was not afraid of hardships and dangers. Naturally, he had the confidence to do so.
The son of the Governor of the Three Kingdoms, he participated in the counter-rebellion in Ningxia a few years ago, and also fought hard against the invading Mongolian army in Yongping Mansion. No matter how you look at it, he looks more like a general, but he is still a member of the Imperial Academy. This identity aura is intertwined.
This makes Feng Ziying even more mysterious and extraordinary.
In addition, when we came to Shaanxi, we did not sit in Xi'an, but went to northern Shaanxi in person, and we were able to pacify most of Yan'an Prefecture with three moves, five divided by two.
It is not clear whether the former rebels from the Guards and Minzhuang who were recruited now are more like a ragtag group of people, but they actually drove the remaining northern Shaanxi rebels into a desperate situation.
Seeing Qingyang, the situation in Pingliang quickly turned around. Everyone had to admit that the imperial court made the right choice in choosing such a young governor to take charge of Shaanxi. Even the two former chief officials of Shaanxi, Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie, were disappointed.
Got some ideas.
Why you two?
When I was there, there were emergencies and wars everywhere. Feng Keng came here single-handedly. In less than three months, the whole situation changed. Could it be that just because he was an imperial envoy to patrol Shaanxi, he had such power?
This kind of thought will naturally sprout in the hearts of caring people, and will continue to grow as the situation in Shaanxi further improves.
At this time, the preliminary intelligence collection and preparation work done by Wang Wenyan and others began to slowly come into play. Which officials are available, which officials are neutral, and the officials' respective connections and backgrounds will all be included in Feng Ziying's vision one by one, and then proceed one by one.
Combing.
Of course, there are also the censors of the Procuratorate who stayed in Xi'an City, which is what Feng Ziying needs to focus on.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate was established in the city of Xi'an, that is, the Shaanxi Dao censors and the Tea Patrol Procuratorate were co-located.
The Tea Patrol Inspectorate is responsible for the jurisdiction over the tea and horse trade in the Western Xinjiang region, and there is also a tea patrol censor, which is similar to the salt patrol censor, but with different division of labor and responsibilities. However, as the Zhou Dynasty began to control the Western Regions and Tibet
The control power has weakened, and the tea inspection censor has always been vacant, or in other words, it has been directly filled by a certain censor from Shaanxi Province of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
It is slightly different from the previous Ming Dynasty's imperial system. Although the imperial censorship in the Great Zhou Dynasty inherited the constitutional powers of the imperial censorship in the previous Ming Dynasty, the Thirteen Dao also established Taoist censors with a similar number of personnel, but the rotation of the censors was
The system is different.
The thirteen censors of the Great Zhou Dynasty took turns inspecting local areas, either openly or covertly, or sitting in the capital to conduct detailed inspections and reviews of cases, or stationed in the provinces for inspections, or undercover visits. Take the Shaanxi Province of the Metropolitan Procuratorate as an example.
At present, Feng Ziying knows that two are stationed in Beijing, three are in the province, that is, in the city of Xi'an, and three are on their way back to Beijing. The whereabouts of the other two are unknown. They are probably conducting secret visits throughout Shaanxi Province.
Such a rotating inspection system can, on the one hand, prevent one or a few people from monopolizing the power of inspection and abuse of power for personal gain or forming a party for personal gain. On the other hand, it can also speed up the verification progress of the investigated cases and improve efficiency.
"Sir, some of the royal censors from the Procuratorate have arrived." Ruixiang came in quietly, interrupting Feng Ziying's meditation.
"Oh, they are here?" Feng Ziying nodded, "Please come in and bring me some good tea to brew."
Feng Ziying still respects these censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate very much. As a censor of Jindu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, she may not be as qualified as these censors.
The requirements for censors are very high. Although they are basically the seventh rank, as a censor, the seventh rank is basically equivalent to the sixth rank of local officials. The so-called official is two levels higher, and it has even more authority. .
As long as these censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate serve as censors for a few years and then go out, as long as they don't make mistakes or offend big bosses, they will basically be promoted to the third level, that is, they will be sent to serve as censors of the seventh grade. , most of them start from the fifth rank, and it is not impossible for some particularly outstanding ones to obtain the fifth rank.
"The lower official Xiong Jianqiu (Lu Minghao, Chang Xuande) has met the governor." The three green-robed officials who came in and were fat, thin, tall and short, all bowed respectfully when they saw Feng Ziying.
Although seniority and age were important in the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, having direct superiors like this, coupled with scholars from Shujishi and Hanlin backgrounds, was enough to overwhelm factors such as age and seniority.
"Haha, excuse me, you three. Before I came here, Mr. Ru Jung specially told me that Shaanxi Road is the most important road in the northern part of our Metropolitan Procuratorate. They are all elites in the Metropolitan Procuratorate..." Feng Ziying smiled while smiling. He bowed in return and extended his hand to signal the three of them to take their seats.
Xiong Jianqiu is the leader among them, and the other two occupy a subordinate position. Although they are all seventh-rank officials, seniority is still an important basis for their primary and secondary status in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Xiong Jianqiu was probably in his early thirties. Feng Ziying remembered that this man was a Jinshi in the 39th year of Yuanxi, and the other two were a Jinshi in the 42nd year of Yuanxi and the other in the second year of Yonglong.
"My lord, I have gone through many twists and turns to come to Xi'an. I'm afraid it was a very hard journey." Xiong Jianqiu is a short, fat man who sweats every time he moves. However, he has a fat face with lively brows, and the front and back of his green robe are covered with tears. A big ball of sweat appeared.
"I can't say how hard it is, as long as it's hard
It's worth the effort." Feng Ziying smiled, "I originally wanted to cross the river from Laoniu Bay, or come in from Tongguan, but after thinking about it, I still felt that I couldn't take the ordinary route. Since I wanted to come to Shaanxi, I just saved it. I wanted to take a good look at the worst real situation in Shaanxi, so I finally chose to cross the river from Wubao, which can be regarded as a true experience of the most ugly side of our Shaanxi."
The three of them were unable to answer for a while. The most ugly aspect may not only be the arrogance of the rebels, but may also involve the conduct and practical performance of the officials.
Finally, Xiong Jianqiu took over: "Your Majesty, the Procuratorate has made many overt and covert visits to the three prefectures of northern Shaanxi in the past two years, and has also discovered some problems. However, the three prefectures of northern Shaanxi are poor and the people are unruly. In many places,
Officials were forced by local gentry and controlled by powerful people, and they were timid in doing things, which led to such disaster..."
"Jianqiu, I'm afraid this is not a reason." Feng Ziying looked at the short fat man, "It is neither a situation where officials can neglect their duties and slack off, nor is it a reason for our imperial censors to let it go or even deliberately ignore it. What do you think?
