Chapter 435
Chapter 434: All parties contend for Shangshu Province
In Shangshu Province, various forces fought openly and secretly for the positions of the two governors. Zhongshuling Cui Hao took the lead in proposing Yang Shiqi, the prefect of Yuzhang under his command. Yang Shiqi was born in the household department. Cui's subordinates became an important force of Cui's in the local area, and this proposal was strongly opposed by Hu Weiyong, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, but Cui Hao won over Zhang Bin and Su Hong, and successfully forced Jiang Wan to compromise, and Yang Shiqi's affairs also went smoothly. pass.

After Yang Shiqi was appointed, the last remaining governor position became the target of public criticism. At this time, while expressing his support for Yang Shiqi, Minister of Rites Chen Qun also recommended Xun Yu, the prefect of Yingchuan who was also from the Yingchuan family.

After Xun Yu became an official, he first served as the magistrate of Yangzhai County. After Chen Qun, the prefect of Yingchuan, was transferred to the central government as the Minister of Rites, he took over the post of prefect of Yingchuan. Or qualifications are very suitable.

But it is useless to say these things. There are many people who have the same qualifications as Xun Yu, or even more senior than allowed. The influence of the Yingchuan family is limited to Yingchuan, and there is no power in the center except Chen Qun. , even if Chen Qun strongly supports it, it still needs the consent of the four giants.

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Qun's recommendation, Cui Hao, Jiang Wan, Zhang Bin, and Su Hong also frowned. The Yingchuan family is a very special existence in Deng Guo. After Deng Sheng purged the Nanyang family , the Yingchuan family has become the most powerful family group in Deng country, even the Jingnan family and the Jiangdong family can't compare with them, let alone other people, and Deng Sheng has always been very afraid of the family , so whether to promote Xun Yu has become a dilemma.

What I have to admit is that Xun Yu's ability is really strong, and his qualifications are profound, so it is reasonable to let him take the position, but he comes from a Yingchuan family, and this is one of his bad points. They are not afraid of the Yingchuan family, and the four major factions do not want to see the Yingchuan family take the lead. After all, the cake is so big, and the four major factions are not enough, so how could they agree to join the Yingchuan family.

But after thinking twice, the leaders of the four major factions actually agreed, and Cui Hao said, "I have heard a lot about Xun Yu, and he ranks at the top in the performance evaluation every year. I have served as the prefect of Yingchuan for many years, and my qualifications are sufficient. I am also very suitable to be a governor, what do Jiang Xiang, Zhang Xiang and Su Shangshu think?"

Jiang Wan and the others also nodded. The reason why Cui Hao, Zhang Bin, and others agreed was because they had no other suitable candidates, and they didn't want to give it up to Jiang Xi, so they simply let Xun Yu go. , In this way, you can not only suppress the Jiang faction, but also make friends with the Yingchuan family. There is nothing wrong with killing two birds with one stone.

As for Jiang Wan's thoughts, it was even simpler. He understood that today Cui Hao, Zhang Bin, and Su Hong were here to obstruct him. No matter who he proposes, Cui Hao and others will strongly oppose it. Since the current position has not fallen into the hands of the Cui, Zhang, and Su families, it is also okay to give it to the Yingchuan family.

"Cui Xiang is right, Xun Yu is an assassin!" Zhang Bin, Jiang Wan and others agreed.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Chen Qun was very happy, and he couldn't help but feel a little lucky. If it wasn't for the four major factions fighting each other today, and the Cui, Zhang, and Su factions joined forces to attack the Jiang faction, the Yingchuan family would want to take this position It was impossible at all, so he smiled and said, "Thank you, my lord, on behalf of Xun Yu!"

"Okay, now that the two prefects have been decided, the next step is to vacate the prefects of all counties, except for Yuexi County, Cang County, Yongchang County, Yizhou County, Guilin County, Jiaozhi County, Cangwu County and Congjiao County. In addition to Hepu County, there are Yingchuan prefects and Yuzhang prefects who were vacated after Yang Shiqi and Xun Yu were promoted, a total of ten prefect positions, what do you guys think?" Jiang Wan immediately set his sights on the ten prefect positions. This is where the Jiang family can get the most. After all, in terms of lineup, the Jiang family is the most powerful.

"It's easy to talk about other places, but the prefect of Yingchuan is the only one. Yingchuan County is located in the northern border. Although Yingchuan County is no longer the border of my Great Deng after capturing Chenliu County, Chen County and Liang County, but The situation here is complicated, and the remnants of the former Han have been here all along, so I think that someone with a strong hand is needed to take up the post, so I will propose to transfer Yu Yunwen, the prefect of Yong, to be the prefect of Yingchuan!" Zhang Bin For supporting him so hard just now, Cui Hao will of course reciprocate. Originally, Cui Hao planned to give Yuzhang County to the Zhang family after Yang Shiqi became a governor, but now the prefect of Yingchuan is free. The Chuan family still wants to keep the Cui family's territory in Yuzhang County, Cui Hao needs to do this.

As soon as Cui Hao said this, Chen Qun, who was originally happy that the Yingchuan family won the position of governor, suddenly changed his face. Yingchuan County is a forbidden area of ​​the Yingchuan family, and no other forces are allowed to enter. The two prefects were both from the Yingchuan family, but now Cui Hao proposed that Yu Yunwen from the Zhang family be the prefect of Yingchuan. This directly violated the interests of the Yingchuan family, but Chen Qun had no reason to object. Taking advantage of the battle between the major factions and taking the position of the governor, all the major factions have paid more attention to the Yingchuan family. After giving up a governor, they directly attacked Yingchuan County, the headquarters of the Yingchuan family. It is also a way of checks and balances. The second is that Chen Qun really can't think of anyone from the Yingchuan family who can come out to compete.

The three representatives of the Yingchuan family, Chen Qun is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xun Yu has just appointed a governor, as for the remaining Xun You, he is a member of the Military Aircraft Department, and belongs to the military. According to Deng's system, the military and the government are separated. Based on the principle of not belonging to each other, it is impossible for Xun You to be the prefect of Yingchuan, so Chen Qun can only hold his nose and admit it.

As for Jiang Wan, Su Hong and others, they have no interest in the position of the prefect of Yingchuan. Although Yingchuan County is good, after taking down the prefect of Yingchuan, it means that they need to go head-to-head with the Yingchuan family. The Yingchuan family can stand tall Yingchuan County has not fallen for hundreds of years, and its strength is definitely not simple. A collision with such strength will not benefit the development of the faction. It is better to give up.

As for Zhang Bin, although he was a little unhappy, he quickly thought about it. Yu Yunwen was the prefect of Shangyong. If he wanted to leave Shangyong, he had to go one step further, and it was impossible for Yu Yunwen. Go to the south, so I can only choose between Yuzhang County and Yingchuan County, and Yuzhang County has always been the private land of the Cui family, and now the Zhang family and the Cui family are in the honeymoon period, there is no reason for a Yuzhang County The conflict with the Cui family, as for the difficulties in Yingchuan County, is it a challenge and an opportunity?

The Yingchuan family has always been a thorn in the hearts of Deng Sheng and Deng Guo. Although it has not reached the point where it must be removed, appropriate suppression is still necessary, but Yingchuan County has always been controlled by the Yingchuan family. The forces can't get in at all, and now I finally have a chance. As long as Yu Yunwen can suppress the Yingchuan family and make achievements in Yingchuan County, it will be much easier to be promoted in the future. In view of this, Zhang Bin has no objections As for wrestling with the Yingchuan family, Zhang Bin didn't care. After all, for so many years, Deng Sheng had always hoped that one of the forces could advance to Yingchuan County, but all the forces had so many scruples that The Yingchuan family has been controlling Yingchuan County, since others are unwilling to stand out, let the Zhang family do it.

Deng Sheng was afraid of the Yingchuan family, not because he was worried that the Yingchuan family would shake the foundation of Deng Guo. In fact, since Deng Guo destroyed South Korea and took Yingchuan County, the Yingchuan family has always been loyal to Deng Guo, but The way of an emperor depends on balance. The Yingchuan family dominates Yingchuan County. This is something that no ruler would want to see, even if he is very loyal. It seems that the Li family is powerful in the military now. Among the sixteen guards of the country, Li Xiucheng, Li Siye, and Li Jing are all members of the Li family. With the addition of Li Dingguo, Li Cunxiao, Li Siwen, Li Pingzhang, and Li Derang, who are the top generals in the army, the Li family has become a big one in the army. Although the Li family is not without competitors, the forces of the Yang family, Chang family, Yue family, Xue family and the clan are not simple, so the army has always been in a state of balance.

The military needs balance, and the political arena also needs it. Although Deng Sheng will not take action against the Yingchuan family, it does not mean that Deng Sheng will allow them to continue to control Yingchuan County. At this time, Zhang Xi resolutely decided to advance into Yingchuan County. Deng Sheng looked at him differently, so this wave of operations, the Zhang Department is not at a loss, and Zhang Bin also believes in Yu Yunwen's ability, he can definitely gain a firm foothold in Yingchuan County.
