When Er Li arrived, Feng Ziying greeted them to sit down.
During the period when Feng Ziying left, the Shuntian government office felt a bit leaderless.
It turns out that before Feng Ziying came, the presence or absence of Master Fu Yin didn't seem to have much impact. Everyone did things in their own way.
Zhizhong Mei Zhiye wanted to control the situation, but his identity restricted him and made him powerless.
A Zhizhong's status is too embarrassing. The general judges will not buy his account at all, and the promotion officials will not tolerate his interference. The same goes for Confucian professors and officials of the Experience Department and Zhaomo Institute. Even Qifang It is impossible for the officials to have too much fear of a ruler.
To be precise, in a government office, the prefect (prefect) is the king of heaven and Lao Tzu. He always says what he says. He can destroy the family magistrate and destroy the county magistrate. This proverb is not a joke.
Fu Cheng (Tongzhi) is not only the specific operator of many affairs, but also Fu Yin's deputy assistant, who also holds great power.
But the next person in charge can only focus on one thing and have certain powers, but it cannot be said that it affects the overall situation.
After Feng Ziying came to Shuntian Mansion, she got into the mood quickly. After she became aware of Fu Yin's absence, she quickly took over many of the powers that should have been Fu Yin's with Wu Daonan's acquiescence. She wanted power and did things, and she did it well. Very beautiful, otherwise Wu Daonan would not be able to tolerate him.
Especially after the personnel adjustments were made to the two offices of the official office, the execution office, and the two offices, the most important part of the government office, the third class office, was quickly adjusted. The authority was immediately established, and the spirit of the entire office was different. .
The people of the Third Class Yamen account for the largest number of officials in the entire government office, accounting for almost 70%. They have a low position and high weight, and their affairs are complicated. Of course, this weight is mainly for the common people in the market.
However, Feng Ziying still had reservations. Like other houses involving Zhizhong and Tongsuan, he still maintained restraint and did not interfere too much because he knew the priorities.
But now the situation is different. The current situation is turbulent. Even Wu Daonan is aware of this and fully supports himself. The Shuntian government office needs to be monolithic. If anyone wants to be disloyal in it, Feng Ziying will be rude.
But before doing something, Feng Ziying still needs to consolidate the foundation and think of all the details that need to be considered. Only by laying a solid foundation can she do things well.
Feng Ziying is also considering the current situation of Shuntian Mansion and the various risks and challenges she may face.
"Wen Zheng, Jian Xing, during the time I went to Tiewang Mountain, what happened in the city?" Feng Ziying got straight to the point, "I'm afraid you have roughly heard the news. The emperor was assassinated and fell into a coma, and there are also some careerists who are plotting evil. ,…”
Li Wenzheng and Li Jianxing did not expect that Feng Ziying would raise the topic as soon as he arrived. They both looked at each other and paused for a moment before Li Wenzheng responded with Li Jianxing's eyes: "Sir, this kind of thing is actually no secret in the city. Although "Today's News" did not explicitly publish it, it still more or less revealed some confidence. For example, yesterday there was an article saying that the court should consider establishing a reserve as soon as possible, just in case. This does not mean that the emperor is now in trouble. Is there a problem? If this were not the case, the Ministry of Rites would definitely not allow this kind of article to be published, and "Today's News" would not be so outrageous..."
"Oh, so the soldiers and people who came to the city have known about it for a long time?" Feng Ziying was not surprised. There were so many people in the Tiewan Mountain Palace, and many people witnessed the assassination of Emperor Yonglong. In addition, there were deliberate attempts by people with ulterior motives. It is natural for it to spread and cause uproar.
"It should have been quietly circulated in the city four days ago, and it has spread throughout the city in the past two days." Li Jianxing added: "The news that the Xuanfu Army marched eastward and the Jizhen Army fought in the Yuhe River also triggered a stir in the city. People were frightened and panicked, and the martial law in the city also made people panic. After the master came back from the message, we immediately sent out all three squads of government officials. Master Song personally sat in the government office, and some bachelors wanted to take the opportunity to cause chaos. , but they were all brought under control.”
As the prison chief, Li Jianxing got into the mood very quickly. He also knew very well how much Feng Ziying valued the third class of government officials. The control these hundreds of people had over the entire capital city was related to the overall security situation of the entire capital city.
Feng Ziying nodded with satisfaction. What he wanted was this situation. Why did he spend so much effort to purge the third class of government officials? He had to replace them with his own people. At least they were people he could control. It didn't matter how many bad things these people did outside. Behavior, but the ability of this group of people to spread out and play a role at critical moments to achieve their goals.
"Well, Song Xian is very cooperative?" Feng Ziying pondered for a moment.
Song Xian is a pushing official. In theory, he is the executor of the Fu Yin's power in case trials and litigation, and is also the Fu Cheng's assistant in public security affairs. Therefore, his position is quite special, complicated and embarrassing. Generally speaking, The relationship between the Fu Yin and the Fu Cheng is not very good, so as a recommendation official, he must keep up with the Fu Yin, and at the same time, the relationship with the Fu Cheng should not be too tense. Otherwise, the Fu Cheng will have the dominant power over public security affairs, and the torture chamber is even more important to the government. Cheng's main help, without the support of the Xingfang group, many affairs of the official will be greatly affected.
Although Song Xian's attitude gradually tilted towards Feng Ziying before, it was far from being comparable to Fu Shi's positive attitude. Therefore, Feng Ziying also had an attitude towards this person who listened to his words and watched his actions. But after hearing what Li Jianxing said, it seemed that this person Song Xian's attitude has changed significantly.
"Well, after I conveyed your request to Liang Peng, Jing Demin, Xiao Yuanfang and others, Lord Song also heard it, took the initiative to join in, supplemented and implemented it, and asked the third class yamen to resolutely follow your request. , he would be the one to coordinate any resistance or difficulties, including the conflict between Xiao Yuanfang and the others in the Nanxunfang area and the Nancheng Army and Horses Division, and Mr. Song personally came forward to suppress it..."
"Oh?" Li Jianxing's words surprised Feng Ziying, "He came out to fight with the people from the Nancheng Military and Horse Division?"
Song Xian is actually willing to stand up for this kind of thing. The people in the Nancheng Army and Horses Division are not good people. He may not be able to suppress those people, but in any case, if they dare to show up and fight, it means that This person has clearly seen the direction and has a clear attitude. If this is the case, then this person can be used.
The third squad of yamen officers have no problem dealing with the ordinary people in the city, and they can also challenge the people from the patrol camp. But when they get into a fight with the soldiers and horses, they won't have the upper hand. Behind them are the patrols in the city. The procuratorate is the procuratorate of the capital and will not be afraid of the Shuntian government office.
After Feng Ziying came to Shuntian Mansion, she vigorously rectified the three squads of agents. Of course, she also encouraged them and encouraged them to do their jobs freely.
But there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital city. Not to mention other things, but in terms of public security affairs, Wanping and Daxing counties, not to mention the county offices, are all one family, but the Wucheng Army and Patrol Battalion are the biggest opponents. Theoretically, everyone in this city has the authority to govern, with overlapping responsibilities and powers, involving many interests. Of course, they cannot be consistent, and conflicts will naturally arise.
The North City Army and Horses Department has the best relationship with the Shuntian Mansion Office. Because of Han Qi and Zheng Guifei, they have always maintained a relatively tacit relationship. The Zhongcheng Army and Horses Department and the Xicheng Army and Horses Department also have a good relationship, but the East City Army and Horses Department and Nancheng The Soldiers and Horses Division is just average.
"Well, someone violated the curfew and was caught by us. People from the Nancheng Army and Horses Department came to rob him, so the two sides started fighting. Three of us were injured, and two of them suffered losses, so neither side gave in. A deputy commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division wanted to force us to take everyone away. You also know that the third squad of policemen are not confident enough. After all, they are all officials. Fortunately, Mr. Song arrived in time, so the two sides bickered for a long time. , Mr. Song said that people can be taken away, but they have to leave a note. The other side has no choice but to issue a note..."
Having said this, Li Jianxing was quite proud, "When will we be able to overpower the Army and Horses Division? Mr. Song will argue with reason and come up with each item one by one to force the other party to give in..."
Li Wenzheng shook his head and laughed: "Jianxing, you only know one but not the other. Do you know what Mr. Song said to the deputy commander in private at that time, saying that if Feng Tianfu's face was lost, Feng Your Excellency will definitely not obey you when you come back, and you must go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to discuss the reason. Anyway, Mr. Qiao, the censor of the right capital, is Mr. Feng’s advisor, so the commander was scared..."
Feng Ziying couldn't help but laugh. Song Xian was quite good at pretending to be a bully, but there was nothing wrong with it. It meant that Song Xian had realized something and started to change his attitude.
If Song Xian can be successfully incorporated into his system, his influence in Shuntian Mansion will be greatly improved.
Because of Song Xian's prestige in the government office, he was well regarded by officials in both the prison and other offices. He was also cautious and low-key in his conduct. Because of this, after he came to Shuntian Mansion, this person Although he showed a gesture of intimacy, he still refused to completely fall in love with him. From this point of view, Feng Ziying felt that this person was more worthy of deep friendship.
But this matter is left for later. Even if someone like Song Xian wants to use it, it can't be said in just one or two sentences.
"Now that you all know the current situation, as the saying goes, a strong wind knows a strong grass, and a rough and turbulent grass knows an honest minister. The court is facing many difficult things at the moment, but those are matters for the princes in the court to worry about, and it is not our turn. I went to ask, as the yamen under the eyes of the imperial court, how can we do our own things well and not cause trouble to the imperial court?" Feng Ziying said sternly: "Previously, Mr. Fu Yin specially summoned me, because he went to Tiewang Mountain Halfway After months of hard work and poor health, I am afraid I don’t have much energy to take care of the affairs of the government, so I have been entrusted with full authority to handle them. But to handle these affairs well, I need the help of everyone in the government office, so I have some questions. I want to ask for your opinions and opinions..."
