Kaifeng Fucheng
As the imperial edict was issued, Jiaheng was given the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and was assigned to the governor's mission. All the officials in the governor's office were shocked, and they followed the tall and tall young man in butterfly clothes into the official hall again.
In fact, even if it is the Emperor's Sword, it cannot be used at any time if Ru Lian comes in person.
Especially among civil servants, the more power is used to exercise power, the worse the impression given to civil servants.
As time goes by, there will be rumors of military commanders being domineering, which will spread in the scholarly official circles.
Moreover, even though Emperor Chongping originally granted Jia Ban control over the military affairs of the five provinces, he did not grant all relevant political powers to Jia Ban. This was a subconscious reservation of a mature emperor.
Names and tools cannot be faked from others.
As for Jia Heng's identity as an imperial envoy, he was just an imperial envoy responsible for the suppression of bandits. For example, the imperial envoy who supervised the salt patrol before would not be able to ignore the special duties because a common person blocked the road and complained about injustice, and became a guest judge.
Of course, when an imperial envoy passes through the border, local officials will definitely treat him with great respect and treat him like an angel.
Nowadays, the governor-general's military and political affairs can be regarded as legitimate. Although the governor-general position assigned to Jiaban at this moment is a temporary assignment, he can still intervene in river affairs to a certain extent.
Jia Heng glanced at Jiang Yuanwu, the earth-colored right-hand political advisor, with a cold look, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the people are trapped by thieves and bandits, and they follow the thieves. This is because the people have difficulty in making a living due to the drought and the emperor.
Secondly, the county officials are rampant and lawless, and it is difficult for the people to redress their grievances! From now on, the Desi Division dispatched officials from the Judiciary Division, escorted by soldiers from the Beijing Camp, to patrol prefectures and counties, accept grievances and complaints from people in counties and townships, and detect lawlessness.
At the same time, the officials of the Quan Division were unjust to the common people who had turned themselves into thieves. They cooperated with the government officials to record the incident, opened a case for investigation, and investigated the crimes of the criminals who oppressed the common people. The law was investigated for thirty years! 「
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Deputy Envoy Liao Mingxian and Xue Liangyi, the Minister of Finance, changed, and they already had a premonition that a bloody storm was brewing.
This is an iron-fisted minister who has just wiped out the bandits and is in the heart of the emperor!
Jia Heng took in the changes in everyone's expressions and said in a deep voice: "Any official who is a daughter-in-law, and the officials protect each other, I will never condone the adoption of a daughter-in-law!"
To govern the Central Plains, he planned to start from two directions.
First, drought relief, combined with money and grain relief, and statistics on household registration and disaster damage, can solve the people's livelihood problems to a certain extent.
Second, judicial proceedings are used to identify those who have been wronged.
Unfair justice is the greatest social injustice. When people cannot resort to justice, they will no longer trust the government. Then when thieves and bandits join forces, people will naturally respond to what they want. At this point, it is necessary to deal with thieves and bandits
With the clues provided by Mr. Ding, we thoroughly investigated the corruption and illegal deeds that occurred at the county and township levels in Kaifeng Prefecture and even the entire Central Plains.
Carry out a thorough sweep of the squires and village tyrants who have been entrenched in counties and villages for a long time, confiscate their ill-gotten gains to the government, and return all their fields to the oppressed people.
They compiled their crimes into a record of evildoers and announced them to the world.
In the end, the officials and gentry at the grassroots level will be physically purified by killing and shutting them down, and then those honest and upright officials who are unwilling to join in the corruption will naturally be selected and move to the corresponding positions to fill the quota.
This is to punish the country and use heavy codes!
As for the squire and village bully, will he take risks? Tens of thousands of imperial troops were suppressed here, and these were not just decorations.
Will he report his crimes to the court through various channels? No, because dead people won’t complain!
What is a feudal official?
The officials in the border areas are obviously misusing evil policies, obviously trying to save people's lives, obviously bullying their superiors and concealing their subordinates, and obviously being domineering and arrogant. They dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
It's not just that ordinary people have no energy, but when the iron fist hits, everyone is equal, and the government is even more ruthless when it comes to punishing their own people!
Why can evil officials be so unscrupulous and even rise to prominence, while honest officials are so scrupulous that they can hardly move forward?
Because good people are too shameless, good people are not despicable enough, and good people are not ruthless enough!
He is a dignified minister, and he uses judicial and prison cases to establish reasonable grounds and vigorously investigates local lawlessness. He then uses peace and order to bring justice to the people and governs the province with an iron fist. Who dares to rebel?
Yes, who is the biggest accomplice in provoking the popular uprising.
The provincial government's governance was broken by the civil uprising, which can only explain one problem. It is rotten from top to bottom. The administration needs to be severely rectified. Since the problem cannot be solved, then the people who caused the problem must be solved.
Only after great chaos can there be great order.
And he also has: this confidence, he has just succeeded in quelling the chaos, he is favored by the Sacred Heart, the governor-general of military affairs, and his momentum is like a rainbow. Now even the cabinet must avoid his edge.
In addition, Xianning was asked to help write diaries on purging officials and appeasing the people, as well as evil reports on related judicial cases, and delivered them to Emperor Piao Ping by express delivery, so that the emperor could feel on the ground what kind of dire straits the people were enduring and why. Be rebellious and follow the thief.
If the people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death?
He then wrote a summary of the rectification of the administration of officials. There were no ignorant people in the court. At that time, upright officials would be inspired to follow them. Although the number was not large enough, they were new forces, which just made up for his weak foundation and weak power. The weakness of loneliness. Jia Heng suppressed his calculations and looked at Song Xuan, a young man of twenty-six or seventeen years old with a long figure. He said in a deep voice: "Zhixian Song, you are the magistrate of Xiangfu County and you know the inner affairs of Kaifeng Mansion very well. Immediately organize civil servants to interrogate the people who have surrendered themselves to thieves.
If the report is meritorious and verified, the sentence of hard labor can be reduced. The above-mentioned clues will be recorded in a book and discussed in detail. This matter will be handled as a top priority. After the matter is completed, I will recommend Song Magistrate to Kaifeng Prefecture. 「
Having a state relative take the lead in this matter can, to a certain extent, bear the criticism from the court.
In fact, apart from the fact that the officials were unhappy with this matter, the people would only applaud and applaud it, and the original Mr. Ding was determined to actively report it in order to reduce his sentence.
As for whether it is possible to completely eliminate officialdom? As long as the soil that breeds flies is still there, it is impossible to remove the flies. However, as for flies, only a few of them were killed.
Song Xuan's face moved slightly, he cupped his hands and said, "I would like to obey your orders.
Uncle Song Xiaoguo, after getting along with Jia Ban these two days, has been deeply impressed by the vigorous and resolute actions of the young man in front of him. Jia Ban turned to look at the two divisions of the vassal table and several county magistrates under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture.
There are two political counselors in the vassal. Liu Anxing, the left political counselor, died together with Sun Long, the chief envoy. Currently, there are only right political counselors, Jiang Yuanwu, and three political counselors, who are responsible for supervising grain, supervising registration, and guarding various affairs.
The desk department is headed by Liao Mingkun, the deputy envoy for the inspection, and there are two people who are responsible for the inspection of gold affairs.
The governor of Kaifeng and other subordinate officials such as Zhizhong and Tongpan were captured, plundered and killed by bandits after the city was broken.
As for the capital, not to mention all the people, even if there are survivors, because they have the responsibility of guarding the land, they will be questioned for their crimes, sent to the capital, and severely punished according to the law.
Jia Heng said: "Everyone, the Central Plains is in chaos, bandits are shouting, and people are gathering in all directions. It can be seen that local corrupt officials and evil gentry are oppressing the people. They will not stop for a long time before the people's resentment boils and public opinion becomes fierce. Today, I can If we suppress and arrest the bandits again tomorrow, what should we do if the people rally again to respond?"
All the officials present looked at him with doubts and doubts, and their hearts were filled with unspeakable horror. They were already shocked by the courage that the young Jiang minister had revealed in just a few words.
Feng Lian narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself, this is to redefine the longitude and latitude and rebuild the world.
That is what this young man who wears the Emperor's Sword and is a favorite minister of the Holy Emperor can do.
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Jia Heng glanced at Jiang Yuanwu and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Shenzhen will hand over the affairs at hand, and I will send someone else to take charge of the river affairs."
Jiang Yuanwu's expression changed slightly, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom of his heart. He did not dare to refuse, so he had to cup his hands and say, "Yes, sir."
At this time, it was different from the fact that Jiaban had only been supervising the army as the commander of the Jingying Festival. After all, he was now the governor-general's military and political control platform, and the two divisions of Fan and Quan were all members of the governor.
Jia Heng looked at Jiao Jingxing, Magistrate of Weishi County, and said: "Mr. Jiao County, please immediately send people to make statistics and verify the drought situation in Xiazhou County, Kaifeng Prefecture, and register and create a register. At the same time, register and register the surnames of the people who have no food and clothing." .”
Jiao Jingxing's heart was shocked and he accepted the order with his hands raised.
Jia Heng then assigned tasks to the three counselors, and then sent away the officials from the two departments at the feudal table. He said to Liu Jixian: "Notify all the prefectures and counties under the Fengfu. They will all come to the government office within three days to discuss matters. If it is overdue, Those who fail to do so will be severely punished without mercy!" Investigate the lawlessness,
Dredging of rivers will start in Kaifeng Prefecture first, and after the pilot is completed, it will be implemented throughout the province. After everyone left, Jia Heng looked at Feng Lian and said solemnly: "Mr. Feng, I wonder how the recruitment of military doctors is going?"
Previously in Luoyang, Jia Heng asked Feng Lian to help find a doctor, purchase medicinal materials, and help diagnose and treat the soldiers of the Beijing camp who were injured in the battle. Feng Lian smiled and said: "Thirty-seven people were hired with a lot of money. Now they have all entered the city. Under the arrangements of the generals in the capital, they are helping the soldiers and civilians of Kaifeng City to diagnose and treat external injuries."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Feng Gong really helped me a lot."
As he spoke, he looked at Feng Lian with burning eyes and said softly: "Feng Gong is in the prime of his life and is in the prime of life. Why doesn't he come out to share the worries of the imperial court?"
From this purchase of military supplies and other supplies, we can see that Feng Lian has good organizational skills.
Feng Lian sighed and said, "I am old and frail, with little moral ability and little talent. I can't bear the heavy responsibility. Besides, I still have an old mother at home who needs to be taken care of."
Why didn't he want to be re-appointed? He only had the title of civil servant, and he was a relative. The young man in Shenjing City didn't have much trust, and was even far inferior to the young man in front of him.
In fact, even relatives like Song Xuan were not as trusted by Emperor Chongping as Jia Heng. It can be said that there was no comparison at all.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Nowadays, there is no one to supervise the river affairs. If Feng Gong does not give up, he can be conquered by me and have the power to supervise the river affairs. He can work with the officials to dredge the branch canals along the Bianhe River. For example, both sides of the Bianhe River are fertile fields. , it can also benefit the people of the Central Plains."
According to his estimation, he would stay here for two or three months at most before returning to Beijing. During this period, he would need to start various undertakings.
Afterwards, he recommended Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, as governor of the People's Republic of China.
Government, continue his various measures here, so that this land in the Central Plains can be temporarily brought under the devil's control.
There is no need to doubt whether Zhongjing Hou will listen to him. When he transfers Shi Ding, who is obsessed with the position of feudal official, Shi Ding can only listen to his arrangements if he wants to secure his position.
The four major families are in the same spirit. Even Wang Ziteng, from the beginning to the end, only thinks about himself, and never thinks about letting the four major families fall apart and kill each other.
As for Feng Lian, if he wants to govern the Wei and Zheng dynasties, he still needs the help of the Feng family.
Feng Lian hesitated for a moment, as if hesitant.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "I hope Mr. Feng will not refuse. If the river control is successful, I will ask the Holy Master for credit for Mr. Feng." Feng Lian smiled bitterly and said: "The old man is more respectful than obeying orders. "Actually, I'm still a little excited.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "In order to repair the river, in addition to the punishment of hard labor for the bandits, I plan to use the work as a relief, and use the pioneers as labor, and no longer send corvee to ordinary people."
As for where the money from the work-for-relief program comes from, it comes from corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry.
By cracking down on illegal activities at the bully level, and then confiscating land, houses, and property, the underlying purpose of clearing land ownership and inhibiting land annexation is achieved.
This is all talk but no action, like the ruthless officials of the Han Dynasty who cut off the strong and powerful. Of course, these are the small bosses. The big bosses are still the Wei and Zheng vassals. These two Qing dynasties will bring great governance to the Central Plains, but they need to borrow strength.
The previous recovery of arrears in grain taxes was only the first step, and the reduction of clan salaries and the inventory of annexed land acres were the second step. Feng Lian nodded and accepted the errand, then went to work with a few scribes.
After Jia Ban finished handling the affairs of the front office, he returned to the back hall with a silent expression. It was already midday, and the girl with a slim and graceful figure was already preparing dishes in the wing of the back house.
meat dish. Seeing the young man in butterfly clothes who had entered the wing, Princess Xianning was happy. She put down the chopsticks in her hands and asked in surprise: "Sir, are you done?"
Jia Heng nodded and looked up at Princess Xianning. Xianning wore a plain white and pink dress today. It was a bit more cool than usual, such as green and sky blue. It was quite cute and playful, but her face was clear and bright. At this point, that kind of The elegant temperament is almost infiltrated into the charm of the eyebrows and eyes.
Her hair was pulled up into a fairy bun, her earlobes were decorated with earrings, her face was covered in snow and covered with light brain fat, her lips under her nose looked like peach blossoms, and under her smooth and delicate chin, her neck showed off her icy muscles and jade bones. Clear and hydrating.
A woman likes her appearance, and Xianning has no longer been bare-faced in the past two days.
, all put on light makeup.
"Sir, I heard from Xiahou that there is an imperial decree from the emperor?" Princess Xianning also looked at the young man opposite, and saw the young man looking at her, her heart was full of joy, and she said happily.
In the past few days, after discussing in the front office, Jia Ban would often return to the backyard to talk and eat with Princess Xianning, just like lovers.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Your Majesty has given me the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, granted me the military and political power of the Governor, and allowed me to regulate this place."
While talking, he came closer and said with a smile: "The food cooked by His Highness today is quite rich, and His Highness's skills are getting better and better."
Thanks to the good education of Concubine Duanrong, Xianning is not only good at singing and dancing, but also good at cooking. Princess Xianning's bright eyes were filled with mist, and she chuckled: "Sir, go wash your hands quickly."
Jia Ban responded and came to the washstand nearby.
Princess Xianning said softly: "Sir, do you want to stay here to pacify me?" "Probably not. I will stay here for two or three months at most. After all matters are settled, the Holy Father should call me back. In fact, I am here." We can't do much, so we can only make a start and find someone reliable to take over later." Jia Heng stopped washing his hands, picked up the hand towel on the side and wiped them, and said warmly.
It is impossible for a military minister like him to stay away from the political center for a long time.
So, if you want to interfere in local government affairs, you can only control personnel and general direction.
To put it bluntly, there are still too few talents in the sleeves, or in other words, before gaining absolute say in side affairs, there is no chance to win over talents and intervene in local internal affairs.
What we are doing now is just an attempt to reform the bad government in the name of investigating illegal activities, while at the same time sparing personnel. Princess Xianning thought for a while, her beautiful eyes flashed with smoke, her pink lips were slightly opened, and her voice was like flying springs and flowing jade, and she said:
"The internal affairs are not repaired, corrupt officials are rampant, and the people have no livelihood. Things like what happened to Gao Yue will still happen. Yesterday, I talked with my uncle and my aunt. The evils in the place are so deep that they have reached the internal organs.
Even if my uncle wanted to do something practical in Fuguo County, there were many constraints. Instead, because of his national authority, he was worried about his colleagues and superiors, and was not allowed to stretch his hands and feet. 「
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Princess Xianning with admiration, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is right. You are really right to bring Your Highness here this time."
It is really rare for a female prostitute to have such insights.
Princess Xianning felt a mixture of embarrassment and joy when Jia Heng looked at her with admiration and affection. She licked her pink lips, her beautiful brows and eyes were full of seriousness, and she said in a clear voice: "Sir, if you are always in charge of this place, I think you will be able to bring great peace to the Central Plains." , she thought that Guanzhong Ping Fan was just a husband who had to be separated from her father, which was really a pity. As time went by, she felt that he was really a wizard who had not been born in hundreds of years, and he was proficient in almost all military affairs and internal affairs. However, thinking of such a man, she actually He is her lover. Thinking of this, her heart becomes more and more shy and joyful, and waves of sweetness well up in her heart. Speaking of which, she also wants to thank Chan Yue,
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, with a bright light in his eyes, and said: "Things have their own priorities. Border dangers are the top priority for our great Han Dynasty. The most urgent task now is to interrupt the momentum of establishing slaves to rejuvenate the country, so that we can have enough energy to eradicate the long-standing disadvantages and reopen the country for the Great Han Dynasty." , peace for all eternity.”
Hearing this, Princess Xianning's face was charming and her bright eyes were radiant. She looked intently at the young man's stern face. Unspeakable admiration surged deep in her heart. She gently took Jia Heng's hand and leaned Qin's head against it. In Jia Heng's arms, he said foolishly: "Sir, it's a pity that there is only one master in the world."
If it weren't for my husband's incompetence, maybe we could all work in parallel.
Jia Heng stretched out his hand and hugged Princess Xianning's shoulders. He smelled the fragrance of Princess Xianning's hair between his nostrils and felt a little lost.
Jinyang and Xianning always gave him the feeling that all the political brains of the old Chen family were born in the female family members. "Perhaps this is the style of the Dream of Red Mansions. Today, I am busy and busy, accomplishing nothing, but suddenly I think of the woman I had that day. After careful consideration and comparison, I feel that her behavior, behavior and knowledge are all superior to mine?
Jia Heng thought about this, gently supported Xian Ning, and couldn't help but sigh: "How good would it be for Your Highness to be a man and have a son's body?"
Princess Xianning: "???"
What do you mean sir?
Sir, don't you?
Immediately, I realized that it was not that
It's a meaning, but the thought is a bit complicated. He put his face against Jia Heng's heart frequently, feeling the strong heartbeat, and said shyly: "If I don't become a daughter, I can't stay together, sir~"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a shadow approaching, and the familiar breath came in again, and his two petals were soft and soft.
Princess Xianning's heart beat brightly, her curved eyelashes trembled, hiding a shy shadow, her face was often crimson and stained with clouds, and she was gorgeous.
A thought flashed through her mind. In the past few days, her husband had kissed her whenever she disagreed, as if he never got tired of it, and it felt different every time.
Sometimes it's like a gentle breeze and drizzle, sometimes it's like a violent storm. The two of them have passed each other countless times.
The relationship between a young man and a woman who has just fallen in love has grown by leaps and bounds. Jia Heng gently grabbed the sweetness, Xianning was still a little shy, although he occasionally responded a little, but mostly he still passively endured it.
Thinking of this, put your hands down from your shoulders.
Xianning was immersed in a dizzy state like drinking fine wine, when suddenly there was a "thump" sound, like being struck by thunder, and he felt a strange feeling coming from his front, and his delicate body suddenly trembled, and he hugged her tightly. Jaban's waist.
Fangxin was so ashamed, sir, how could he touch her there?
"So," Jia whispered after a while, next to the girl's earlobe, which was as red as blood. "So, Your Highness, it is better for your daughter to be pregnant."
I just took the measurements and found out that not only did the old Chen family's brains focus on the two princesses, but Xuezi also made no concessions.
Princess Xianning: "..."
He snorted and was about to get angry, but the young man leaned down again.
After a while, Princess Xianning could no longer control herself. The tenderness of a young girl still remained on her plump and moist lips, and the electric shock-like feeling made her body soften into mud.
Jia Heng hugged Princess Xianning, sat down on the rusty pier, held her slender hand, and said with a chuckle: "Your Highness, it's noon now, let's eat food first."
Princess Xianning's face was as hot as fire, and she said "hmm" in a voice as loud as a mosquito's fly. It seemed that she was still not freed from the trembling pain just now, and she was just leaning against Jia Heng.
