Domineering Daming

Recently, he was also simmering with anger, looked up at Chen Qiyu and said in a deep voice: "Master, why don't I go to Dongchang and ask Wei Zhongxian for some information about these people, I don't believe that these people are not honest Really cooperate!"

Chen Qiyu frowned when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial court wants us to sum up the experience of 'gentry paying taxes'. If we do this, how do you want me to report to the emperor and the cabinet?"

The corners of Chen Suowen's mouth twitched. These squires could not be beaten or scolded, and they could only use conventional methods, even if they were slightly overstepped. What should they do?

Tigers, hedgehogs, nowhere to bite!

Chen Qiyu also felt deeply that the local government's control over the local government was almost out of control, and had to be changed.

He has been thinking about countermeasures for the past few days, but he has come to an end. After pondering for a while, he said: "Well, you go to Hejian Mansion yourself to appease you. As for the new magistrate, I have to go to the Ministry of Officials to discuss it with Zhou Shangshu. Yes Now, let Master Chu find out about other magistrates and county magistrates, and we can't let Wei Zhongxian take the lead..."

Chen Suowen wrote down in response, all of these can only be tinkering, and are useless to the overall situation.

"My lord, Prince Jing is here." Suddenly, a yamen servant rushed in.

Chen Qiyu and Chen Suowen were both startled, and looked at each other with the same doubts on their faces.

Prince Jing is now a bit embarrassed in the court. Firstly, the Governor's Council cannot intervene in the court situation. Secondly, because of his sensitive status, he is extremely cautious in supervising the court officials.

What did he come to Shuntian Mansion for?Xingshi asked the crime?After all, the Governor's Council has the power to supervise all officials in the world, and the Shuntian Mansion cannot escape the responsibility for such a big case as Liu Fengzhong.

"Where is it now?" Chen Qiyu suppressed the doubt in his heart.

"In the lobby." The yamen servant said.

Chen Qiyu stood up and said, "Well, I'm here to serve tea to Prince Jing."

"Yes!" The yamen servant responded, turned and left.

Chen Suowen frowned, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, it is rumored that Prince Jing will leave the Governor's Council soon. After all, he is the prince of the clan, so we should be careful."

Chen Qiyu understood what he meant, and said, "Yes."

Jing Wang Zhu Luhu sat in the temporary yamen of Shuntian Mansion, looking at him with a calm expression.

"I've seen the prince, and I'm offended, please forgive me." Chen Qiyu strode out, pleading guilty with a smile on his face.

Prince Jing stood up, smiled and waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty Chen, you are being polite. I am surprised by this king's sudden arrival, isn't he?"

Although Prince Jing said it with a smile, it still gave people a feeling of being looked down upon.

Chen Qiyu had nothing to fear from Prince Jing, and said politely: "My lord is just joking, you can come to my small yamen, it will certainly be full of glory."

King Jing laughed, put his hands behind his back, and said, "This king doesn't go around in circles, this king is here to relieve Mr. Chen's worries."

"Worry relief?" Chen Qiyu was slightly startled, he had a lot of worries recently.

Prince Jing looked at the temporary yamen again, and said with pride on his face: "The Governor's Council is about to spread across the country, and the first one is naturally the Shuntian Mansion. It is initially planned that there will be one governor and two deputy governors in the Shuntian Mansion. People, governors are selected from retired officials, deputy governors can be nobles, famous people in the field, squires, etc., there are 12 governors, a total of 15 people. All the prefectures and counties in Beizhili are listed in this way Mr. Chen, tell me, has this king relieved you of your worries?"

Chen Qiyu was a little stunned by what King Jing said, and didn't respond for a while, subconsciously sat down on the chair, and picked up the teacup.

It has long been decided that the Governor's Council will radiate the whole country, but it has not been able to advance for various reasons. Now that the "political reform" has been passed, it should start to be promoted. Shuntian Mansion is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is natural to be the first one. , Chen Qiyu herself forgot about this.

Although Shuntian Mansion is a mansion, it can govern Beizhili. It is a provincial department with great power, so its authority of the Supervisory Council will naturally not be small.The Governor's Council has the power to investigate, question, and impeach all officials below the governor's level. The power is astonishing. If this yamen is established, countless people will naturally smash their heads and squeeze into it.

What's more, there are other prefectures and counties that have to follow this list, and the selection right lies in Shuntian Prefecture. Those government officials and squires who want to enter must come to him!

In this way, Shuntian Mansion will completely turn from passive to active!

There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there is another village in the dark and bright!

Chen Qiyu hurriedly stood up, raised his hands and said in a low voice, "Thank you, my lord, for your advice!"

Prince Jing waved his hand and said, "Master Chen is being polite. The system of the Governor's Council is not perfect and cannot be perfected. I also hope that your lords can help each other and fill in the gaps."

Chen Qiyu heard what King Jing meant. The Governor's Council was established by the Governor's Council, Ke Dao and other officials. Now that it is going to be extended to local areas, there are naturally too many places that need to be tested with reality.

To put it bluntly, Shuntian Mansion is going to make another test field!

But Chen Qiyu didn't care, this was state affairs after all, and Shuntian Mansion was duty bound.

"Don't worry, my lord, the next official will summarize everything in detail, and I will present it to my lord face to face." Chen Qiyu's heart was pounding, and he finally found the key to solving the "gentlemen's tax payment" issue!

Prince Jing smiled, being able to smoothly promote his government affairs and gain the favor of Shuntian Fu Yin along the way is killing two birds with one stone.

Prince Jing put his hands behind his back, pondered for a while, and said solemnly, "Master Chen, it's not that I don't trust you, nor is it because I'm talking lightly. It's just that the current situation in the capital is unclear, and I have something to say."

Chen Qiyu quickly raised his hand and said, "My lord, please speak frankly."

King Jing said: "Wei Zhongxian doesn't know how many people he has handles, and no one can be sure which one is his next target. This 'political reform' is of great importance, and the Governor's Council is also an indispensable part. Therefore, the candidate must be Be cautious and cautious, if Wei Zhongxian seizes you just after being selected, we can't explain it..."

Chen Qiyu's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, the officials will definitely review it seriously and will never cause trouble to my lord!"

Prince Jing smiled condescendingly, and said, "Well, make a selection as soon as possible and report it to this king."

"As ordered." Chen Qiyu said.

Chapter 612 Test who?

Undoubtedly, King Jing sent a sharp weapon to Shuntian Mansion, and it was indeed to relieve Chen Qiyu's worries.

In the whole of Beizhili, there are hundreds more powerful positions at once, no imperial examination, no fame, as long as Shuntian Prefecture approves it!

The so-called country gentry is not every family has fame and fame, every family has someone who is an official in the court, sometimes in order to cultivate a young scholar, I don’t know how much effort I put in, plus I have studied hard for more than ten years and took exams many times, I don’t know How many well-off families have been dragged down, and after years of hard work, they have achieved nothing, but they continue to fight!

For those who are slightly older, even the four major families, an official position in Shuntian Mansion is not easy to get.The positions specially prepared for squires and field officials are enough to make these people break their heads!

Chen Qiyu had a very deep understanding of the current officialdom, and as soon as King Jing was sent away, he summoned the officials of the Shuntian Mansion, even Chen Suowen was called back to discuss behind closed doors.

If it was normal, even Shuntian Mansion would have endless quarrels.

The Governor's Council has the right to review, question, and impeach officials below the governor's level, with more than [-] votes. With the governor's nod, they can even be directly removed from office!

The right to appoint and remove is the core power of an official, which is extremely attractive!

But now no one dares to speak, dare not recommend!

It's not that they don't have people, it's just that they know better what kind of virtue these people are, not to mention whether they have any confidence in Wei Zhongxian's hands, if something happens after they become officials, they will also be implicated!

Chen Qiyu waited for a long time and saw no one recommending him, so he came over knowingly, and said, "You can recommend more, and then we will screen."

Everyone still didn't speak. At such a sensitive moment, they couldn't protect themselves, so how dare they provoke others.

Chu Zong understood it first, his eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly asked: "My lord, is it up to your lord to decide on the next level of governors and governors?"

Chen Qiyu was a little confused, so he nodded and said: "According to the statute of the New Deal, the Governor's Council of the imperial court has the right to appoint and remove all the Governor's Council members below, and the government or provincial level has the right to appoint and dismiss the next-level Governor's Council members. By analogy. Of course, you can also recommend yourself, but you need the approval of your superiors, just like we do now."

Chu Zongxian's smile became more and more mysterious, and he said, "That is to say, the appointment and removal of the Governor's Council in the entire Northern Zhili Province is in the hands of your lord?"
