How could an official from the Hedaoya Office be a relative of the Hedao Governor?

In fact, this is also the truth.

This river yamen is a second-rank yamen. It sounds like a large number of officials, but in fact, the only one appointed by the imperial court is the only one who appointed the river yamen. Regarding river yamen, the Prime Minister, Shandong, Henan, and several provinces in southern Zhili, the officials under the river yamen must be recruited by the river yamen.

Therefore, the officials who posted letters in the river yamen are actually Changsui, the governor of the river. If there are relatives in Changsui, it is not surprising at all.

Lin Yanchao asked this person to meet in the second hall.

The visitor was in his thirties, wearing a mustache and looking very smart. When he saw Lin Yanchao, he smiled and said, "Lin Sima, Hetai is receiving important personnel in Shandong, so he sent Jia to Guide to inspect the river workers."

After pausing, Jia Tie Shu said, "Peach Blossom is coming in this blink of an eye. Do you know that the civil servants have recruited all their soldiers?"

Lin Yanchao said: "A total of more than 8,000 people were recruited."

Jia Tiishu was a little surprised, but he remembered Lin Yan**'s cowhide that built the Baili Lu Dike. He thought that he had just suffered a disaster and had so many civil servants sent out, so the people must be angry and resentful.

Jia Tishu didn't know that Lin Yanchao used the Qingmiao method and used work to serve relief. Not only did the people not complain, but the people also benefited the people.

Jia Tiishu did not speak out loud, but felt that Lin Yanchao was cruel and ruthless in pursuit of political voice. He did not take the people to heart, but instead looked up to Lin Yanchao three points, but said sarcastically: "So many civil servants, there are a lot of labor, food and silver."

Lin Yanchao said: "Of course."

Jia Tie Shu said: "Before the humble post, Hetai repeatedly asked the orders that the matter of river work is the first, and the second is the most important information. Today, the sage loves the people as children. We officials think of it at that time to share the worries of the emperor. Do not waste the people and serve the people. If there is a matter of deducting the food of civil servants, it is a heart that will be unfair."

Qiu Mingshan smiled and said, "Please rest assured that Jia Tiexhu is also a good official in our office and will not do such a thing."

Jia Tiexhu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "It's no point to empty words."

Lin Yanchao said: "Since that's the case, let's walk to the river bank and see it is true."

Jia Tiishu waved his hand and said, "Then you must read it another day. By the way, have all the materials for the River Engineering Engineering Department prepared?"

"I'm preparing, do you have any instructions for Jia Tiexhu?" Lin Yanchao asked.

Jia Tie Shu said: "Sima Lin, who was in the river yamen for several years, has seen many river officials cutting corners on big materials and even piled up rotten materials in the river embankment. He thought he could deceive the acceptance and falsely reported the amount. They thought they could not find out. By the time of acceptance, the river yamen had been working in river yamen for many years, and they could see the true seal by throwing it aside and digging it apart."

Speaking of this, Jia Tiishu glanced at Lin Yanchao's face, and saw that he was unmoved and said again.

"Of course, it's not all the faults of local officials. As far as I know, this is the collusion between the tyrants and the Hegong clerks. They deceived Shangguan on the Hegong materials to make huge profits. If Sima Lin was inappropriate, it would not be a big deal for Hegong Bank to be embezzled. I am afraid that they would use the rotten materials on the dam. As a result, when the flood arrived, it would destroy the dam, and then the black hat would be damaged. "

Lin Yanchao and Qiu Mingshan looked at each other and asked, "What can Jia Tishu do to teach his official position?"

"I dare not be a teacher at Lin Sima, but I know a few good merchants with great reputation. I have many contacts with the river yamen on weekdays. I use their wood to build a large dam. I have never had any mistakes during the river acceptance. Sima might as well consider it to ensure the safety of the situation."

Among them, Lin Yanchao Qiu Mingshan knew at first glance that Lin Yanchao would not refuse in person and then said: "If the price is appropriate, then in writing, I will not refuse."

Jia Tie laughed and said, "Sima Lin is really quick to speak. Since you and I are in love, I might as well say something to my heart, so that my mentor Shen Ge immediately becomes the chief assistant. If the Hetai work can be done, Hetai will be happy and will inevitably recommend Sima Lin to be a brilliant person afterwards. At that time, the emperor will be happy, and it will be a matter of time before Xu Ban returns to Beijing."

Seeing that Lin Yanchao had no words, Jia Tiishu was afraid that he would not speak enough and continued: "Being an official by the emperor is serious. Lin Sima has the ambition of the world, so how could he be an official in the local area? These one million people are worse than that person."

Lin Yanchao asked Qiu Mingshan to entertain Jia Tiishu and left by himself.

A few days later, Qiu Mingshan and Huang Yue both reported the return, and Yan Jia Tiexun recommended several ingredient dealers to Lin Yanchao, and the River Governor Li Zihua, all of them were dry shares, and their quotations were as much as 70% more expensive than the local ingredient dealers in Guide.

The good news is that the local material dealer in Guide, with Huang Yue as a guarantee, was willing to give Lin Yanchao credit.

Lin Yanchao knew it as soon as he heard this. It seemed that Zhuo Yi, who was sponsored by the Hedao Yamen, was more difficult for him this year. Even though he was determined to be promoted based on his political achievements, he would not trade such things. However, with Shen Shixing, Li Zihua would not dare to make things difficult for him no matter what.

Lin Yanchao thought about it and told his decision, Qiu Mingshan and Huang Yue.

Huang Yue sighed with regret.

Qiu Mingshan's eyes were shining. After Huang Yue left, Qiu Mingshan said to Lin Yanchao: "Dongweng had three children from the Yuan family who came to visit yesterday. I asked them to stay at Yin Hotel in their county. After asking, they were the grandsons of Gong Daqi, the left governor."

Lin Yanchao admired Qiu Mingshan's power in his heart. He made the background of the three brothers of the Yuan family clearly understand the situation.

Lin Yanchao remembered that when he was demoted from Beijing by Zhang Juzheng in the past, he met Yuan Hongdao when he was traveling to Hangzhou on the way back to his hometown.

Qiu Mingshan's subtitle was that he wanted to borrow three people to make friends with Gong Daqi, the left governor of Henan. Gong Daqi is the second-in-commander of a province, and is in charge of a second-rank official. If he had a good relationship with Gong Daqi, Lin Yanchao would have been much smoother in the officialdom of Henan.

But these people are all their younger generations, especially Yuan Hongdao, who looked admiring and admiring him, just like a teacher.

Even if Lin Yanchao is thick-skinned, it is difficult to open this question. For example, Lin Yanchao could have asked Shen Shixing for official positions, but it was difficult to hold his face down and asked the three brothers of the Yuan family to help.

Qiu Mingshan knew Lin Yanchao's thoughts and said in accordance with his intentions: "Although Dongweng cannot be as outstanding as the river yamen this time, the Hetai will not make things difficult for Dongweng for the sake of Master Shen Ge. On the contrary, if Dongweng deliberately makes friends with the three brothers of the Yuan family, he will be said by the official to deliberately curry favor with Gong Fangbo."

For many people, the difficulty in the world lies in being unable to let go of face.

In fact, for Lin Yanchao, there is nothing really to worry about. Shen Shixing was promoted to the prime minister and now he has to give him face in the officialdom of Henan.

Lin Yanchao pondered: "In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang asked Guan Yu, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Qi raised an army to attack Jingzhou. What would happen? Guan Yu replied, "Split the troops and rejected it. In the end, Jingzhou was destroyed by Guan Yu."

"My teacher is far away in the capital, so I can't act on his signature in everything. Now I have offended the riverside, and the vassal officials can't lose any more. Brother Yuan, you are so happy to receive him. I'll have a meal with them if I have time."

Seeing Lin Yanchao as good as the stream, Qiu Mingshan laughed and said, "Dongweng, if you are willing to use the Heguan material dealer, a brilliant man is indispensable. Why bother to go around Gong Fangbo's path?"

Lin Yanchao smiled without saying a word.

At this moment, something happened to Lin Yanchao, who was in the capital, Shen Shixing, who was in the capital.

The story started from Gao Qiyu's case.

It turned out that Gao Qiyu was Zhang Juzheng's confidant. When he presided over the Nanzhili provincial examination, he gave a provincial examination title: "Shun Yizhishi Yu".

This sentence comes from the Analects of Confucius Yao. When Emperor Yao passed the throne to Emperor Shun, he once said that "the calendar of heaven is in your court, and I will hold it in it." Shun also used this sentence to warn him when he passed the throne to Dayu.

Gao Qiyu used sensitive words like "Shun also used his destiny to Yu" to write the title. Didn't he advocate the abdication for Zhang Juzheng, who was in power at that time?

So Gao Qiyu's sinister intention was discovered by the fire-eyed and golden-eyed censor Ding Zulu. He wrote a letter to the emperor to impeach Gao Qiyu, saying that this was the intention to persuade Zhang Juzheng to advance and make a move.

What should the emperor do if Ding Zulu’s memorial was asked to Shen Shixing?

Shen Shixing said that the matter of the hundreds of officials in front of Huangji Sect's advice and the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng was over. Your Majesty, you have issued an order and said that you will not pursue this matter anymore. Ding and Lu are now provoking this matter again, which is a big conspiracy. I am afraid that such slander will come one after another in the future. In the long run, the country will not be in a state.

After hearing this, the emperor thought Shen Shixing was right, so he asked Yang Wei, the Minister of Personnel, to demote Ding Zulu to the Lu'an Prefecture.

But Shen Shi did this and stabbed the hornet's nest.

In order to kill Feng Bao, Zhang Siwei instructed his disciples, Li Zhi and others to impeach Zhang Juzheng's party. As a result, countless Zhang Party officials were dismissed, and the censors were powerful since then, and the cabinet lost control of the words. Shen Shixing was Zhang Juzheng's confidant, so the officials were very dissatisfied with him replacing Zhang Siwei as the chief assistant.

The censor led by Li Zhi and the others was Yixu Wang Xijue who replaced Zhang Siwei.

Therefore, the official had the intention of letting Shen Shixing step down, and Wang Xijue replaced him as the chief assistant. Now, after Shen Shixing demoted Ding, Lu, was like declaring war against the censor, just like a spark thrown into the gunpowder depot.

So the censors did nothing, Li Zhi, Wang Shixing and others handed over the seal to impeach Shen Shixing and attacked him in groups.

Shen Shixing succeeded as the chief minister for less than a month. More than half of the officials in the Censorate and the six departments submitted memorials to impeach Shen Shixing in the name of protecting Ding, Lu. Yang Wei intended to use this to block the way he said.

When Shen Shixing was about to go to the emperor, Yang Wei was forced to submit a memorial to the emperor and resigned, and the government and the country were shocked.

And at this time, the Governor of the Hedaoyamen in Jining, Shandong.

A green sedan chair fell in front of the River Yamen Office.

The Henan Road Inspector Censor Zeng Qianheng walked out of the sedan chair, and an official in front of the office had already come forward to greet him and said, "Zeng Xun, the He Governor has been waiting in the yamen for a long time."

Zeng Qianheng nodded and climbed up the steps.

The censorate is now in a big way, and even the governor of the river do not dare to neglect it, let alone the inspector censor.

You should know that the Thirteen Censors are censors in Beijing, and they are imperial envoys outside.

The censor who puts heterodyne is also divided into three or six grades.

The censor who puts heterodyne can have small differences, medium differences, and large differences.

Abandoned is a test job. Anyone who is a censor is absent after his first job. He goes to the local area to experience it and does not have to be a big deal.

The senior officials were specialized in the Qing army, sealing horses, farming farms, salt patrols, etc., and they were all involved. The last time the censor was sentenced to inspect the river engineering under the order.

As for the big difference, it is the provincial inspection.

How powerful is the inspector's censor?

The court may ask the officials below the sixth rank and be questioned directly without waiting for impeachment. Their power is so great that even the governor of a province is still afraid of it.

You should know that the inspector and the inspector and the inspector and the governor are only in the seventh rank, while the governor is in the third rank. The two belong to the Censorate, so they should be superiors and subordinates.

However, the inspectors and censors can completely avoid the face of the governor. In the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, the inspectors and the governors were in conflict with each other due to the matter, and there were many examples of impeaching the governors. In the dispute between the governors and the governors, the court often favored the inspectors with small officials and did not help the governors who were chief officials. This was the usual strategy of the Ming Dynasty's "using small to control the big" and "using low to supervise the respect with low" strategy.

Therefore, some people joked that in the past, the three departments of one province were the governor, the inspector, and the command department. However, by the Wanli period, the three departments of one province had become governor, the inspector, and the governor, and the ranking was divided into order.

After Zeng Qianheng entered the country, he met Li Zihua and called his mentor. It turned out that Li Zihua was the head of Zeng Qianheng's mansion.

Zeng Qianheng also passed the Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli. He was not only the same year as Li Zhi and Jiangdongzhi in the court, but also the same spirit and voice in his nostrils.

When the court collapsed Zhang, he wrote to "The Treacherous Ministers' Contempt for Public Discussions and Reprimands the Symposium of Reprimand" to impeach Zhang Juzheng, and made great achievements in military affairs, and was able to be a powerful man in the Censorate.

Zeng Qianheng kowtowed to Li Zihua, and Li Zihua personally helped him up and said, "You and I have been teachers and students for many years, so there is no need for much politeness. The Liao ginseng that I gave to Lingzun last year is impressed."

Zeng Qianheng said gratefully: "When you say to your mentor, your father's health is much better and you can get out of bed this year."

Li Zihua nodded and said, "That's good, that's good."

The two sat down separately.

Li Zihua and Zeng Qianheng predicted the recent situation in the court. When Li Zihua heard that Kedao impeached Shen Shixing, he thought a little.

Zeng Qianheng said seriously: "Students are on the tour of the emperor and come to the place, and they cannot fulfill their responsibilities of admonishment. Otherwise, they should write to the emperor like their colleagues to impeach the traitor and impeach the traitor. A year ago, they were used to refer to Zhang Juzheng. Today, Shen Shixing has replaced him.

Li Zihua said: "Shen Wu County was reigned for more than ten years, but he was just timid and acted on orders. I thought he was a cautious person, but I didn't expect that the first palm was so careless."

Zeng Qianheng said: "Shen Shixing Gong is a man named Pili Yangqiu, who is on the surface and in the belly. This time, Ding Youwu's affairs were made by the emperor to suppress the words. It can be seen how despicable his behavior is. How can such a traitor be above the court?"

"This time, we impeached Kedao together. If he had any shame, he should resign from the minister. Otherwise, he would be the minister for one day, and the memorial for impeachment would not stop."

Li Zihua sighed: "When I impeached Zhang Jiangling, I first cut down his branches and leaves, and then cut down his stems, and I finally succeeded. Shenwu County has been in court for more than ten years, and there are many disciples and old officials. If you impeach Shenwu County alone, you may not be able to defeat him."

Zeng Qianheng said in surprise: "What mentor meant is to ask students to start from his disciples?"

Li Zihua smiled and said, "Hey, my teacher didn't say that. You also know that I have not celebrated a festival with Shenwu County, so how could I harm him?"

Zeng Qianheng automatically thought: "I heard that when Shen Wu County was in the cabinet, he was very protective of his shortcomings. His disciples inevitably had a few reckless behavior and acted erratic. Since this is the case, I can take this opportunity to do a few more."
