Chapter 2698 The Kui character scroll is ready, sit big

  On the ninth day of June in the seventh year of Wantong, Chief Assistant Gu Bingqian put forward a proposal in the cabinet to establish Zhang Hua, which was approved by 22 votes in favor, 5 votes against, and 13 abstentions at the ministerial meeting.

   On the seventh day of the seventh month, Zhang Hua became the crown prince.

  On September 11th, Emperor Wantong abdicated and was succeeded by Zhang Hua with the reign name Xuanshun.

  October 22nd, the cabinet was reorganized, Huang Ruliang retired from office, and Xu Guangqi, Minister of Agriculture, was added as a cabinet minister.

  Xu Guangqi's entry into the cabinet is also the product of a game between several parties.

   Originally, Gu Bingqian wanted to put Li Banghua, Minister of Rites, on the throne, but was opposed by Guan Yingzhen and Qiao Yingjia.

   Especially Guan Yingzhen was very afraid of Li Banghua. Several parties reached a compromise and recommended Xu Guangqi, who was not too factional, but a native of Gu Bingqian's Nanzhi Township, as a cabinet minister.

  Xu Guangqi was proposed by Feng Ziying.

  Although he was not the most satisfactory candidate for several parties, he was a candidate acceptable to all parties, so in the end, Xu Guangqi joined the cabinet in a daze when no one expected it.

  Lian Guoshi did not take up the post of Minister of Commerce as originally expected, but as Minister of Agriculture, succeeding Xu Guangqi, and the Minister of Commerce still did not change, which surprised everyone.

  Originally, Zhu Guozhen was very close to Huang Ruliang, but Gu Bingqian unexpectedly kept Zhu Guozhen. Everyone realized that Gu Bingqian was not as weak as imagined, so he took Zhu Guozhen in without making a fuss.

  Thinking about it, Zhu Guozhen is from Nanxun, Huzhou, very close to Gu Bingqian’s Kunshan, Suzhou, and the two have known each other for a long time. Since Huang Ruliang has been defeated and the person who knows current affairs is a hero, there is no need for Zhu Guozhen to hang himself on a tree.

   It's just that Gu Bingqian completed such a round of recruitment quietly, which still made Guan Yingzhen and Qiao Yingjia feel shuddering.

  I used to think that Gu Bingqian didn't have much ability and courage, but now it seems that he has calculated every step just right, from changing the storage and changing the emperor to adjusting the cabinet.

  In this round of personnel adjustments, although Li Banghua failed to join the cabinet, Xu Guangqi is a person who does things and does not have much thought. After joining the cabinet, Gu Bingqian, the chief assistant, is naturally the only one who follows the lead and has achieved his goal.

  In addition, Feng Ziying is also very cooperative with Gu Bingqian now, otherwise Gu Bingqian would not use the position of Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture to reward Feng's people. It can be said that Gu Bingqian now has a considerable voice in the cabinet.

   Now that Lian Guoshi was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, the vacant right minister of the Ministry of officials was appointed by Yang He, and the vacant left deputy capital censor who was vacated by Yang He was promoted by Fu Shi.

"Yaocao, come and sit." Feng Ziying looked at Ma Shiying with a humble and indifferent face, and couldn't help secretly praising him. He is indeed a famous figure in history. After the Hanlin Academy was inundated with water, he followed his own advice and went directly to Henan, which was not easy.

You must know that when Ma Shiying was in charge of editing in the Imperial Academy, Ma Shiying started from the sixth rank. According to the usual practice, even if he wants to stay in the court, as long as he comes out of the Imperial Academy, he must be promoted to at least three ranks, and he will immediately become an official of the fifth rank. , that is to say, Ma Shiying rose much faster than his previous subjects such as Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng, and Wang Yingxiong.

  Feng Ziying’s suggestion to Ma Shiying is to experience a few years in the local area, so that he can well understand the difficulties and sufferings of the people below, and also understand various affairs and contradictions among the people, which will be of great benefit to handling various government affairs after entering the DPRK.

It stands to reason that characters like Ma Shiying, who were born as champions, are almost all arrogant and arrogant, and may not listen to other people's advice that is obviously biased, even if it is given by Feng Ziying, but Ma Shiying listened, really Then he left the local government and went to Luoyang, Henan Province as a co-prefect. He worked there for four years, and then he was promoted to the prefect of Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province, where he has been working as the prefect of Jiujiang until now.

   Now Feng Ziying felt that it was time for Ma Shiying to return to the court. In fact, after five years in the position of the fourth-rank magistrate, it would be unreasonable not to return to the court.

   "Do you know the intention of calling you back this time?" Feng Ziying smiled and said,

   Ma Shiying was a little excited, but it was hard to show it, "Your Excellency sees the trick, no matter what, Yaocao will never turn back."

Although he was born as the number one scholar, Ma Shiying knew that he was completely incomparable with this cabinet minister who was only a second-class Jinshi. Although the other party hadn't shined much in the imperial examination, he was amazing in the process of becoming an official. Every time his position changes, it will bring countless shocks and surprises to the government and the public.

"Hehe, it's not that serious. Could it be that you can go through fire and water?" Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Okay, I won't go around in circles anymore. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is short of people, and the imperial court intends to call you back to serve as the right-handed censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." , you have to be mentally prepared."

The imperial censor of Qiandu is also the fourth rank, but this is the fourth rank of the courtiers. Only the officials of the third rank who have returned from the locality are eligible to be promoted to the third rank. , and it was upgraded by two levels.

There is no one in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is what Feng Ziying has been most worried about. After Fang Youdu got involved in the local area, Feng Ziying has arranged for him to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he is not yet qualified to be the censor of the capital. Instead, let him enter the Xuncheng Procuratorate as the censor, which can be regarded as controlling the forces of the Wucheng Bingmasi and the patrolling battalion for Feng Ziying.

  Feng Ziying is very clear that with the adjustment of the cabinet, the future pattern will no longer be the same as before.

   Although Gu Bingqian is still dependent on himself, he is also trying his best to cultivate his own lineage, while Guan Yingzhen and Qiao Yingjia still have some faint fears and precautions about themselves.

  Guan Yingzhen wants to prevent himself from competing with him for the position of chief assistant in the future, while Qiao Yingjia is worried that he will replace him as the leader of the northern scholars.

  Especially because of his high prestige among the young and middle-aged Beidi scholars, Qiao Yingjia felt a little thorny in his back, which could be felt from his conversation with Qiao Yingjia.

This is inevitable.

  Although Feng Ziying hopes to downplay the regional color as much as possible, there are some things she can't help herself.

  I am the most legendary character among the young scholars in the Northland, and it is inevitable that the young scholars in the Northland will respect and admire me very much.

In particular, Zheng Chongjian, Sun Chuanting, and Chen Qiyu, the three young scholars known as Shanxi's Three Heroes, had a particularly close relationship with him, and implicitly joined a group with himself as the core, which directly threatened Qiao Yingjia's status as the leader of Shanxi scholars. and influence.

Feng Ziying is also trying to play down this color, like He Fengsheng has also become an important member of his group, and he is a scholar from Huguang, Ma Shiying also joined in, he is a scholar from the Southwest, Wu Yan, Xu Xie, Xu Qixun and others are Jiangnan scholars, but this inherent view cannot be completely changed in a short period of time.

  After some conversation, Feng Ziying also had a more intuitive understanding of the students in this subject in the eighth year of Wing Long.

  Ma Shiying and his students from Qingtan Academy performed well. Ma Shiying, Chen Qiyu, Fu Zonglong, Sun Chuanting, Xue Wenzhou, Song Shixiang and others also began to shine their light.

Wang Yingxiong, Ma Shiying, and Fu Zonglong, the three representatives of Southwestern scholars, were the three who performed the best among Southwestern scholars from the thirty-sixth year of Yuanxi to the Wantong period. Coincidentally, Feng Ziying was also Wang Yingxiong and Fu Zonglong A classmate of Qingtan Academy, but Fu Zonglong failed the exam in the fifth year of Yonglong, so he had to wait until the eighth year of Yonglong to pass the exam with Ma Shiying.

Wang Yingxiong has a close relationship with Feng Ziying, Ma Shiying is also very close to Feng Ziying now, but Fu Zonglong has a close relationship with Chen Qiyu and is still on the periphery of this group, which also attracts criticism from Zheng Chongjian and Sun Chuanting who are friends with Chen Qiyu, and Wang Yingxiong is also criticizing Fu Zonglong I don't know how to flatter.

  Feng Ziying also knows that it is impossible for her to win everyone's love and support, but it is unnecessary for those like Chen Qiyu and Fu Zonglong to deliberately distance themselves from themselves because they can't save face.

  Of course he also knows that it may take some time and opportunity to resolve the knot in the process, and he doesn't care at all, but a group of students are very anxious and have been mediating it.

In addition to the students of similar age who have always been relatively close and close in the academy, students who are older than Feng Ziying and the others are actually now moving closer to Feng Ziying and the others intentionally or unintentionally, such as Fang Zhenru, Song Tongyin, Ye Tinggui et al.

  Song Tongyin and Ye Tinggui were both scholars in the north, one was from Jimo, Shandong, the other was from Guide, Henan, and Fang Zhenru was from Nanzhishou County.

  In the early days of Feng Ziying's official career, although she rose quite amazingly, for people like Song Tongyin and Ye Tinggui, they had no intention of clinging to Feng Ziying.

After all, no matter how amazing you are, you are nothing more than a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and later on, whether you become a co-prefect of Yongping or a prime minister of Shuntian Fu, for them who are both Jinshi, these fourth- and fifth-rank officials are still local officials. Officials, they don't think much of them in their hearts. Even if they know that Feng Ziying's future is limitless, it doesn't mean much to them at the time.

  However, when Feng Ziying started to step into the Metropolitan Procuratorate and served as the censor of the capital and the right servant of the Ministry of War as the governor of Shaanxi, they couldn't help but ignore their classmates who were seven or eight years older than Feng Ziying.

  The imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the fourth grade, and the minister of the Ministry of War is the third grade. Even if it is a temporary appointment, it may be difficult for many Jinshi to reach and cannot climb in a lifetime, but Feng Ziying only took ten years to get there.

   Later, as the capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he flattened Jiangnan, established Hebei, and suppressed Liaodong.

  When Feng Ziying officially joined the cabinet and became one of the top few people in Dazhou, there was no student who was not proud of being his classmate, and no classmate could ignore this relationship.

  No matter how lofty you are, I didn't ask you to do anything humiliating, just to get in touch with your classmates. Is it difficult?

   Maybe there are still people who can't get rid of this layer of face, but they are very few and meaningless.
