The chief envoy of Zhili is a second-grade official.
It corresponds to the level of Minister.
What is Fan Wei's origin?
First of all, he is not from Lao Manchu, nor from the Mongolian Han Army. He is not even Han. To be precise, he is a Han traitor (Han spy).
What qualifications?
In addition to his miscellaneous status as a military advisor who taught the bandits to be victorious, Yu Daqing was only awarded the rank of seventh-grade marquis to fill the vacancy of county magistrate (in the army) after the surrender in Linqing in July last year.
Later, he went to Beijing with Master Jia Jia and made many contributions. During the period of reorganizing the army, he was promoted to the rank of associate affairs wing commander from the fourth rank. This position was subordinate to the infantry commander's office and was a logistics civilian staff.
He's just a colonel's staff officer.
Given Fan Wei's qualifications and background, he wanted to be promoted four levels in a row to become the Chief Minister of Zhili. What was his idea?
Quite a bold idea.
Even though Jia Liu had just become the chief worshiper of Tang Anahui, all he wanted to do was buy himself a ninth-grade official first, and then earn money to buy a higher-level one over time.
Governor, do your best to govern.
He was able to get to where he is today because of nothing but his own abilities.
It’s really about taking it one step at a time, being down-to-earth, with the sky above your head, and working hard without complaining.
He was completely on his own, and if he couldn't make it, he could only go back and inherit his father's fifth-grade title.
Therefore, he must say something about the unrealistic demands of the dog-headed military advisor.
After taking a deep look at the dog-headed military advisor who was demanding progress, Jia Liu asked quietly: "Liu Bang bumped into Qin Shihuang when he was on patrol. What do you think he said?"
"Ha, you know your humble position, Liu Bang said that a true man should be like this!"
As a traditional folk rebel, Fan Wei has studied this type of business.
Princes, generals and ministers would rather have their own kind.
Jia Liu said "Oh": "Ha'er knows a lot, so Liu Bang's nemesis Xiang Yu just said it?"
"He can take his place!"
Fan Wei could barely raise his arms and was extremely excited. He had no choice but to ask Master Gui to ask about his innermost feelings.
"Hey, what else do you know?"
Jia Liu didn't expect Fan Wei to be so knowledgeable, so he couldn't help but become interested and wanted to take a test.
"Well, there is also the fact that he dares to laugh at Huang Chao for not being his husband!... Sir, this is what Song Jiang, the hero of Liangshan, said."
Afraid that the master of the Gui family, who was born in the Banner Man family, would not understand the Han classics, Fan Wei specially reminded him.
Then he found that the eyes of the Gui family gradually became deeper when he looked at him.
There seemed to be an invisible sword condensing inside the house, ready to fall at any moment.
"grown ups?"
Fan Wei felt a little numb in his back. He didn't know what mistake he had made, and he was very worried.
"I told you not to read so many books, but you didn't listen! You know, sometimes it's not a good thing for a person to know too much."
Jia Liupi patted Fan Wei on the shoulder with a smile, "You are knowledgeable enough to be the chief envoy, and it is right for people to have the idea of progress. The so-called real man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time!
...Therefore, I encourage everyone, including me, to actively pursue progress, because only progress can prove one's worth. What is progress? It means to be an official, a high official, the greatest official, so you ask to be the chief minister
It means that you take my teachings into your heart, but!"
At this point, the conversation changed and he laughed dryly, "But the premise for your progress is to be under the leadership of me as an adult, instead of trying to surpass me as an adult, or even replace me!"
"ah?"
The sudden and serious charges were so frightening that Fan Wei trembled and knelt down: "Sir, it's unjust! It's wrong, my lord. I have never thought of replacing you. If I had, I would call him that."
Five thunders struck, he choked on drinking water, he was hit by a car when he went out..."
"Don't do this to me. Do you know that I swear no less than you do!"
Jia Liu's dragon claw clasped Fan Wei's left shoulder hard, "I knew you were an unreliable traitor. You are He who is lurking next to me... Anyway, you are not loyal enough to me!"
"Um?"
Fan Wei was stunned. It took him a while to understand what Master Guijia meant. He quickly shook his head and explained: "My lord, you said that I was a traitor. I admit it. But if you say that I want to climb over you, I am really unjust."
I'm sorry... I am loyal to you and devoted to you."
"Stop it."
Jia Liu refused to accept this trick and scolded Fan Wei that it took him three and a half years to be promoted from a low-ranking official to the second-rank governor of the Qing Dynasty. You are not even a bannerman, and you are a traitor. Why?
I just want to be the second-grade chief minister in less than a year.
"If you are promoted to chief this year and governor next year, will you step on me as an adult and work alone the next year?"
Jia Liu's face was dark and ugly.
"Sir, you said that Shuan Zhu was sick, so I encouraged him to do it."
Fan Wei felt that he was really unjust. He was obviously seeking progress according to the master's wishes and helping him solve his problems. How could this be evidence of his conspiracy to usurp the throne and replace him?
"Master, why did you wrongfully accuse Fan Wei? He is an honest man, and he is not as miserable as you think."
Shuan Zhu, who had been eavesdropping outside the door for a long time, came in to prove to Fan Wei that he could not let the young master unjustly accuse a good person.
"Yes, yes, sir, Mr. Fan is really not what you think. He is just too eager to share your worries for you, and he has absolutely no idea of surpassing you."
Baozhu also couldn't bear to see His Excellency the President so unfairly accuse a good person.
"Is it?"
Jia Liu's eyes swept over the faces of the three of them, always wondering if these three guys were working together behind his back.
Suffering from the lack of evidence.
"Get up,"
Angrily, he picked up Fan Wei, who was so frightened that his face turned green. "Chief Minister, don't think about it for now. Although Lao Yang has shortcomings, he is also loyal to me and has worked in Zhili for many years."
Well, even if there are some problems that just need to be improved, how can we kill them with one blow?"
Of course, Jia Liu couldn't take advantage of the opportunity to kill Yang Jingsu, and he pointed at the old boy to charge into the battle for him.
In any case, Yang Jingsu worked in Zhili for six or seven years, serving as governor and chief executive. In Zhili, he was a serious local snake with deep roots and luxuriant leaves.
He captured Lao Yang when he first arrived. He was shocked, but who would do anything for him next?
He wanted to become a Qingtian, to rectify the administration of officials and clean up prisons, but he did not want to change all the officials in Zhili, big and small.
Fan Wei's qualifications are definitely not enough to be promoted to the post of Governor of Zhili.
So far, those who can serve as chief envoys must be from a Jinshi background, and this alone is enough to stymie Fan Wei.
Moreover, Lao Yang's loyalty to him was absolutely beyond the mark.
At the beginning in Tailing, it was Lao Yang who first proposed that the prince-in-law should be crowned king.
Like Asha and Queeni, Jane is in the heart of the emperor.
"Get up, the young master is scaring you."
Shuan Zhu and Baozhu supported Fan Wei, who was trembling with fright, with his head hanging down and not daring to raise his head, looking aggrieved.
I took the initiative to ask for progress, but was scolded by the master of the ghost family, which made it uncomfortable for everyone.
Jia Liu looked a little embarrassed, thought for a moment and said, "Don't even think about it as Chief Minister. We'll handle the Baoding Prefecture later, and you'll be the one to do it."
To be a prefect, one also needs to be a Jinshi, but sometimes exceptions can be made.
Regarding the appointment and removal of fourth-rank officials, the governor in principle only has the power to recommend and remove officials to the court and does not have the power to directly appoint or remove officials.
That is, Jia Liu can write a letter saying who is bad and who is good, and who he hopes the court will kill or replace.
However, it is only for reference by the court.
The problem is that in order to coax the six sons to leave, the old rich man gave away the Zhili officials below the fourth rank of Wen and the third rank of Wu.
Asiha, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was also a member of Jia Dang.
Therefore, as long as the Baoding Prefecture is captured through Sun Le and the injustice, Jia Liu will report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the name of the governor, and the Military Aircraft Department will go through the motions, and Fan Wei, who has been the associate affairs wing commander from the fourth rank, can become the prefect of Baoding.
At most, he can make up some meritorious deeds for Fan Wei.
Originally, Jia Liu planned to appoint Fan Wei as the leader of an important city in Zhili, but he did not expect that this guy was not seeking truth from facts and actually asked him for the high position of chief envoy of Zhili.
Therefore, it must be beaten.
You can only ask for what I give you, and you can't just ask for what I don't give you.
If you want it, I'll give it to you. Doesn't it show that I, as an adult, have no value?
I'll give it to you if you don't want it, that's the right way.
That's probably what happened.
"oh?"
Fan Wei was refreshed. Baoding was a fourth-level palace. If you couldn't be the chief minister, you could be the prefect.
"Your Majesty is wise! Ah, no, your Majesty is wise!"
Sweep away the previous decadence and become radiant.
Jia Liu curled his lips: "You are a bit inconsistent."
Fan Wei quickly expressed his position: "No, no, I have followed you for so long. Don't you still understand me? In order to make progress, I have been studying your books every day. Your words and deeds have deeply inspired me. Your Majesty's
The spirit is extremely encouraging for the humble job..."
Shuan Zhu coughed and interrupted Fan Wei: "Young Master is a pragmatic person and doesn't like superficial things. Don't say that you are deeply inspired, extremely inspired or other clichés. Just understand the Young Master's instructions with your heart and do the Young Master's errands with your heart. From now on,
Not to mention a chief envoy, a governor or a governor can do it."
Fan Wei suddenly realized and said hurriedly: "I'm not just saying something old-fashioned. You, Director Yang, don't know. Since I followed you, my waist is no longer sore, my back is no longer painful, my legs are no longer cramped, and I can walk with more strength...
To me, that is a life-saving remedy, a morning star in the middle of the night!"
"Hey, you talk very nicely!"
Jia Liu was happy to hear this and slapped Fan Wei on the buttocks, "If you are eloquent, come over and sleep with me tonight."
After Master Guijia left, Fan Wei swallowed his throat in confusion and asked Zhuzhu and Master Baozhu what they meant by sleeping in bed just now.
"This star really wants to retire"
Baozhu said frankly: "I just want you to sleep with him."
Shuan Zhu hummed and said nothing.
Fan Wei's face turned pale: "But I am a man."
"There are too many men in the alleys of the capital, and the young master may be good at this."
Shuan Zhu was afraid that the world would be in chaos, so he looked at Fan Wei's butt with a smirk on his face.
"Director Yang, save me!"
Even if Fan Wei is beaten to death, he doesn't want to be treated as a woman by the master of the Gui family.
Shuan Zhu had a profound meaning: "At this point, if you want to keep your innocence, you have to sacrifice the innocence of others... When the young master left just now, I felt a burning energy and evil fire."
"Yes, yes, I feel it too."
Baozhu feels the same way.
"Sacrificing others?"
Fan Wei thought thoughtfully, "Liu family?"
Shuan Zhu looked up at the beams, wondering where the flies were coming in the winter.
Baozhu touched his chin and said nothing.
"That's all, Kuyiku Liu, I'll take the blame. If the ladies know about it, I, Fan Wei, will apologize to them!"
Fan Wei gritted his teeth and quietly went to Ding Qing to make arrangements for his own innocence.
No matter what, I have to bring out the evil spirit of Mr. Gui.
.......
Ruxiu and the others did not stay in Ansu County, so Jia Liu asked Zamul to escort them to Baoding first.
After dealing with Sun Lehe's papers, he also asked the people in the county jail to move the papers of all the prisoners currently in the prison.
It's not that I plan to take a look at each one one by one and clean up the accumulated political achievements of a county in one night, but to show a gesture.
Because the story of Sun Le and his injustice had been redressed throughout Ansu County, if there were other similar injustices in the county, someone would definitely come to cry out the injustice.
So bring all the eucalyptus rolls in advance to avoid having to look for them when you get them.
Thinking ahead in everything is what Jia Liu always requires of himself.
I casually looked at two pieces of eucalyptus and found nothing wrong with them. I didn't hear anyone playing drums, so I thought about checking the condition of the prisoners in the prison.
Ding Qing's sentence and conviction of Liu was very harsh, which is really a pity.
What these girls did was private.
The crime of communion is not illegal even in future generations, but it is morally problematic.
She didn't know about her father's conspiracy with Zhao Bingen to frame the murder, so Ding Qing's sentence of being naked and subject to a cane and exiled to Ninggu Pagoda was too much.
In particular, it is cheaper to exile Ninggu Pagoda than Lao Man outside the customs. It is not as good as...
Just when I was wondering whether I was going to be extra-judgmental and give Liu a lower punishment, my own soldiers came to report that it was Mr. Yang Jingsu, the chief envoy of Zhili, who wanted to see him.
"Come so quickly?"
Jia Liuwei was startled, then he thought that Ansu was only a few dozen miles away from Baoding, so it was normal for Lao Yang to come here if he got some news.
"I see you, Lord Governor!"
When Lao Yang saw his prince-in-law, he performed the standard greeting ceremony, which is the normal etiquette in official circles.
"Did you hear some rumors, or did you come here to pick me up?"
Jia Liu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and motioned to the soldiers to move a chair for Lao Yang to sit on.
After Lao Yang sat down, he hesitated at first, and then admitted in a very embarrassed voice that he had heard the news and rushed over.
This honest attitude made Jia Liu nodded slightly.
"What else do you have to say about this case?"
Jia Liu handed a copy of the scroll to Lao Yang and clearly told Lao Yang that the so-called victim Liu was alive and well and was now in the county jail. Therefore, Sun Le and his wife's murderer were recognized by the county, government and province.
An injustice.
Lao Yang simply stood up without even looking at the paper, admitting that this was indeed an injustice, but he himself had never received Zhao Bingen's money, but a subordinate named Liao who had received Zhao's money, so he carried Zhao's money behind his back.
He drove away Sun Cuier who came to the Bu Zheng Yamen to complain.
"Did you really confiscate the Zhao family's money?"
Jia Liu was noncommittal.
Lao Yang gave a bitter smile: "Sir, how much money can the Zhao family give? After all, Xianguan is also the chief minister of the province, and he was once the governor of the province. If he asked him to protect him for only two hundred taels, then Xianguan would be too sorry for this.
He has served as an official... Moreover, although the Zhao family is a hero, Zhao Bingen is not a member of the Zhao family, but an ordinary wealthy family..."
What Yang Jingsu said may be true.
He really confiscated the money, and the matter was handled by the Inspector Si Yamen instead of the Chief Minister Si Yamen, so his fault was that he failed to manage the people around him, which resulted in Sun Cuier not being able to review the matter through the Chief Minister Si Yamen.
Jia Liu nodded: "Besides you, are there any other officials from Baoding coming?"
Lao Yang said: "Currently the current official is the only one who knows about this matter."
Then he hesitated and asked the prince-in-law whether he wanted to use Sun Lehe's suggestion to rectify the Zhili officialdom.
"Yes, I do have that intention."
Jia Liu didn't hide it either.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me for speaking frankly. There are nearly a thousand officials, big and small, directly under the Central Government, and their relations with the DPRK and China are complicated. It is a good thing that your Excellency wants to rectify the administration of officials, but I have a worry."
Lao Yang knew his consort's character, so he always had something to say.
Jia Liu asked: "What are you worried about?"
"The lower official is worried that if your actions are too big, it will easily trigger a collective backlash among Zhili officials. Even though you will be the governor of the Constitution, you will not be able to leave the Governor's Mansion."
Yang Jingsu is not an alarmist, but sincerely considers it from the perspective of his father-in-law.
It is true that a new official should make three fires when he takes office, but if the first fire is to burn the Zhili officialdom red, even if it is the second fire, there will be no second fire.
