Chapter 639 Calm

From May to July of the third year of Zhenyou, the court in the central capital of the Dajin Kingdom seemed very peaceful.

Even if many officials and yamen who were originally in charge of power were gradually encroached on by the Privy Council system under the Marshal's Mansion... This kind of thing happened two or three years ago, even when the Mongols were besieging the city, it would still make relevant officials, The subordinate staff will tear you to the death.But at this moment, everyone is still calm.

This is because everyone is waiting.

They waited for the envoys who were in charge of the military power to see how they would react to the sudden change in the court in Zhongdu; they waited to see if the maritime trade routes that the navy relied on to support the army could be maintained after the state of Song was alerted; We still have to wait and see whether so many civil and military personnel from the bottom of the Dinghai Navy can maintain their original heart and remain so loyal to Guo Ning after suddenly gaining great power and wealth at their fingertips.

Yila Chucai was very satisfied with this strange and peaceful situation.

As the number one person in government affairs in the Marshal's Mansion, the rise of the Ding Navy is the process of Yila Chucai starting from scratch and organizing a complete system.This system is constantly adjusted to adapt to the ever-changing new situation and to adapt to increasingly complex political affairs.It would be great if he could have a period of stability so that he could concentrate on laying a solid foundation for the Marshal's Mansion.

Not to mention specific details, when he recruited talents from the old official system of Zhongdu, he would have more time and be more thorough in his judgment, not only using his talents, but also seeking his honesty and honesty.

Of course, the official duties of the Secretary for Home Affairs have not always been inflated, and sometimes shrunk.

Since Guo Ning proposed that all business-related content be removed from the Department of Government Affairs and transferred to Li Yun's Department of Left and Right.Yira Chucai quickly set up the framework of the left and right divisions, and reported it to Guo Ning, and appointed reliable personnel to initially operate it.

Among the personnel he dispatched were not only officials from the Privy Council, but also many people who were capable subordinates sent by Li Yun from Gaizhou.Yila Chucai assigned several of the most critical positions to them without hesitation, and also quickly handed over various documents and books according to their requirements.

Li Yun and his elder brother Li Ting didn't look like they were born of the same mother.Li Ting is bloodthirsty and frivolous, but Li Yun is extremely smart, born to be an official.

Just today, Yira Chucai received the news from Koryo, saying that Li Yun rode a fast horse and convinced the Khitans who rushed into the territory of Koryo with just a few words.Now they are being ordered to stop at Dongjie and Dongzhou Road in Korea, and they will slowly discuss with Korea how to deal with it in the future.

Yicha Chucai didn't think that Li Yun had such a knack for speaking.These Khitans were just not convinced by the Marshal's Mansion's strict control over the tribal warriors, and they didn't have the guts to make an enemy of Ding Haijun. They wouldn't dare to act rashly if it wasn't Li Yun who came forward.However, Li Yun's willingness to draw a quarrel between the Khitan people and the Koreans is in itself goodwill to Yira Chucai, and it is also a reward for Yira Chucai's quick adjustment of the duties of the Department of Government Affairs and the Department of Left and Right.

The Ding Navy has expanded to its current size, and there are many factions inside.

Monk Luo, Li Ting and others are the direct descendants of Guo Ning's frontier rout soldiers; Guo Zhongyuan and others are relatively junior Zhongdu rout soldiers; such as Zhang Lin, Yin Chang, Yan Ning, Gao Xin and other Shandong heroes.

Of course, there are still many young people who are now basically stuck in the status of grassroots officers and have been promoted from Guo Ning's military academy and security system.

This is just the faction of warriors.

On the side of the civil servants, of course, there are vague divisions, but in the past two or three years, everyone was Yiba Chucai's subordinates, and some people were reluctant to stay in Dinghai for the time being because of Yicai Chucai's prestige. shelter.Therefore, Yila Chucai's prestige and status are far above everyone else.

However, after Guo Ning entered Zhongdu and opened Bafu as the capital marshal, many things slowly changed.

In terms of authority, with the expansion of the Marshal's Mansion, many things would have been out of the control of Yira Chucai and transferred to a special office.In terms of personnel, although Dajin's government is in a mess, there are actually a lot of talented officials, but they are suppressed by the Jurchen nobles and can't get ahead.

Others don't mention it, but they only say that Xu Ding, the Shangshu Youcheng of the Great Jin Kingdom, has cooperated with Guo Ning for a long time, and is the leader of many affairs officials in the court, and his talent is no less than anyone else.When Marshal Du's Mansion has a firm foothold, can Xu Ding not be given a corresponding status?
Of course, Xu Ding couldn't be as loyal as Ding Haijun's old department.Two generations of Xu Ding's father and son fought to the death with the Jurchen nobles in the court hall, and both generations of father and son were still prime ministers.Unless Guo Ning kills all the officials in the Dajin Kingdom, Xu Ding's political potential determines that he can cooperate with anyone.

In this situation, Yicha Chucai has a huge disadvantage.

After all, he is not a Haner.

His father, Yi Ralu, was a Sinicized Khitan, and was even closer to the Jurchen Khitan.Therefore, his influence on Han Chen may not be able to catch up with Xu Ding in a short time.On the other hand, because Yilalu is rare, the Khitan who became a high-ranking official in the Dajin Center, as the son of Yilalu, Yila Chucai has very little contact with the Khitan warriors scattered all over the place.

For a while now, Yira Chucai intends to make a little show of favor to the Khitans who have newly commissioned the navy.Dinghai is originally a military regime, and there is no taboo about civil and military relations, but it is a thousand calculations. I didn't expect that Yelusi, who is not such a fool, would be dissatisfied with the military restraint and encourage the tribe to flee to Haidong.

This made Yisa Chucai a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, although Li Yun is young, he has a keen sense of smell and knows how to reciprocate.He secured the right to control the commercial affairs of the right and left department, and he held his hands high against those Khitan fugitives in Koryo.

That's good, as long as these people stay alive, they can always be recruited slowly.The Khitan people have died too much in the past 100 years, and there should be no needless bloodshed.Maybe, giving up some unrealistic thoughts and slowly integrating into Han'er is the right way.

Thinking of this, Chu Cai stood up, stretched from the table, and moved his hands and feet.

Under the hall, several officials were busy reorganizing the distribution terms after the southern grain was transported into Zhongdu according to Yila Chucai's previous intention.At this moment, several people winked, and hurriedly said goodbye and went out.

Yila Chucai stood in front of the hall, only to see the sun rising high, almost noon.It's a bit too hot in June.However, in the Marshal's Mansion, a new batch of decorations have been added recently, and there are also a lot of bonsai, plants, and newly transplanted trees.The green leaves cut off the heat and the fumigated wind, exuding the fragrance of grass and trees in the air, which is refreshing.

Under the corridor on the right, Yang Chengzhi came over with a stack of thick files.

It was rare for him to see Yisha Chucai so relaxed, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Jin Qing is actually taking a break!"

Yi Shi Chucai stroked his long beard, and chuckled lightly.

What Yang Chengzhi brought was the information collected by the spies of the Recording Department.

Although it has been calm for a while, there must be a dark tide under the calm water.Not only did the six ministries of the imperial court that Chucai come and go on a daily basis, but even around the palace, there were people sneaking around for a day.

Although the two brothers Wanyan Xilie and Monk Wanyan Chen who were considered to be the most loyal to the emperor still served in the Bureau of Close Attendants, they were unable to mobilize a single soldier outside of Miyagi.The two of his brothers were inevitably left out in the cold, but from time to time someone secretly donated money so that they could support the number of strong men who fought side by side that day.

Yila Chucai could see all of this clearly, and he also knew where those undercurrents came from.

After Du Shisheng went to Yidu, many of his cronies in Zhongdu embraced Xu Yu's thick legs instead, and Xu Yu always copied a copy of the documents that Xu Yu gave to Guo Ning, and transferred them to Yilachu. After Yang Chengzhi tidied up the secretary of government affairs, he put it on his desk.

Xu Yu is not the same as Du Shisheng. After all, Du Shisheng is a literati and a famous scholar. He is familiar with many schools in Zhongdu because he worked under the Prime Minister of Xu Chiguo back then, and his status is far inferior to the so-called "Ten Scholars of Xu Family" Officials who were thrown away to deal with bits and pieces.

Xu Yu is a serious underworld strongman who is proficient in all kinds of criminal methods, and directly keeps many criminals under his hands.During the period when he took over Du Shisheng's control of Zhongdu, there were bloody cases in Zhongdu every now and then.

It was rare for the Zhongdu Police Patrol Academy to have a few small officials who wanted to do something. They mustered up the courage to go to the newly established Zhongdu Privy Council to inquire, but they couldn't get in.The answer was that it was the remnants of the Mongolian army who were responsible for the crimes, and our own soldiers came forward to eradicate them.God is sorry, the Mongols have been retreating for three months. After Marshal Guo settled in, the Ding Navy’s secretary of affairs came forward. He wished that every brick in the city would be grated several times with a grate. Where is there a hair of the Mongols ?

Since then, the Zhongdu Police Patrol can only watch everything continue to happen.Up to now, there is no one in the police patrol yard every day, and it has become a completely empty office, and the report documents that are often received in the Yichai Chucai case are getting thicker and thicker visible to the naked eye.

Yang Chengzhi put the thick document that was transcribed into two volumes on Yila Chucai's table, and couldn't help but turn around and asked, "Jin Qing, don't these people know?"

"Do not know what is this?"

"They did these things in private and didn't know they were being watched by us? Did they really think they could hide it from us?"

"Let them think like this. In the past three to five months, the marshal hopes that everyone will be safe and sound, and don't make any extra troubles. We don't deliberately force them. Unless they are too out of line, we just need to keep an eye on them. This means, also It has been communicated to the recording department."

"What's the reason? Could it be that the marshal intends to wait for them to do more unrighteous acts, and then kill himself?"

Yang Chengzhi asked casually, but saw Yila Chucai was still watching the flowers and plants in the courtyard with a smile on his face.

The Marshal's Mansion was rebuilt by relying on the military fort in Fengyi Gate.Everywhere is fierce and strict, with three steps and one post, and five steps and one whistle.However, in the past two months, many flower beds have been built in the Marshal's Mansion, green plants have been transplanted, and two small pools have been dug.

In terms of the current financial resources of the Ding Navy, this is not a big project.Everyone felt that Marshal Guo was determined and in a good mood, so he was considerate of everyone and specially improved the office environment.

Yang Chengzhi thought so too at first, but now a flash of light flashed in his head, and he suddenly thought of something, and he was overjoyed.
