"Congratulations to Brother Yucun." Feng Ziying smiled at Jia Yucun who came to the door, and extended her hand to signal the guests to come in. "It all depends on your support, Brother Xian. Brother Yu understands that Brother Xian helped me a lot to get this opportunity."
Jia Yucun still looked a little tired, probably because he had been traveling on the road during the spring break, but his spirit was particularly high.
Although we took the canal waterway, we had to travel for days. After arriving in Beijing, we had to visit the cabinet elders, plus the seven ministers and the left and right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. No one was missing. We had to travel to several places a day. Naturally. No free time.
The imperial court finally adjusted the arrangement, with Li Banghua serving as the general envoy of the General Affairs Department, while Jia Yucun was promoted to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.
Everyone is happy that Li Banghua can finally get rid of the overwhelming burden of Shuntian Fuyin, and Jia Yucun is also happy to accept the order.
In his opinion, the Shuntian Prefecture Governor was much better than the General Secretary who was only responsible for uploading and issuing polished official documents, and he himself preferred to handle these specific local government affairs, which gave him a much greater sense of accomplishment.
Moreover, Shuntian Mansion was no better than Jinling Mansion. It was right under the eyes of the imperial court. Every matter concerned the imperial court. He had just arrived and had to take care of things.
And Feng Ziying, the former Shuntian Prefect, or the "acting prefect", had done an outstanding job in Shuntian Prefecture and was highly praised by the court officials, so she was naturally the best "mentor".
"Brother Yucun is too polite. I just stated truthfully when Prime Minister Fang, Master Qi and Master Gao asked for my opinion. This southern expedition can quickly solve the problem of the war and the stability of the situation after the war. Jinling Mansion is the first to bear the brunt. I deserve the most credit." Brother Yucun just told me a few details. To be precise, he told the truth and didn’t add any exaggeration..."
Feng Ziying and Jia Yucun walked in hand in hand.
Instead of choosing the flower hall, he went directly to Jia Zheng's study.
This is Feng Ziying's current outer study room, which is far away from the inner study room of Yihong Courtyard, which is now Jingqi Study. It is also the place where Feng Ziying often meets guests.
Jia Yucun was also a little emotional.
The Jia family fell to the ground like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind. If it weren't for Feng Ziying's protection, the Jia family's situation would have been even worse.
Countless people wanted to put the Jia family to death, and those who had grievances in the past were working behind the scenes, but Feng Ziying took the Jia family's daughter and the daughter of the Jia family's in-laws as concubines. In fact, they were bound together, and she was considered a helper. The Jia family has endured pressure from all sides.
Now I heard that Feng Ziying also found a large house for the Jia family in Mingshifang to settle the Jia family. She also accepted the Jia family's children as students, supported them in their studies, and helped them find a way out.
From this point of view, Feng Ziying is still very kind.
Even though Jia Yucun himself is a ruthless and unjust person, it does not mean that he does not appreciate and recognize kind people. Laojun tea was served, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Jia Yucun also talked about Cui Chengxiu, who succeeded him as the prefect of Jinling.
Cui Chengxiu was transferred from the Datong Prefecture to the Jinling Prefecture. It seemed like a smooth transfer, but everyone knew that a person in the Jinling Prefecture would definitely be promoted, and he could be promoted two levels in a row with a little performance, so this is why countless people covet this position.
Cui Chengxiu also spent a lot of effort to get this position, and even Feng Ziying also helped.
So when Cui Chengxiu went to Jinling to take over, Feng Ziying also greeted Jia Yucun and asked him and Cui Chengxiu to explain some difficult and complicated diseases in advance, so as to avoid Cui Chengxiu suffering a hidden loss.
"Have you finished meeting the elders?" Feng Ziying asked with concern.
"I've finished the meeting. All the ministers and the two imperial censors have also met." Jia Yucun rubbed his forehead, "I had to post in advance and wait for the time arranged by the princes, so that I could have time to travel back and forth. It took four days Only when the time is over can I feel at ease."
"Then when will you take office?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile, "After the new year?"
"Well, the officials have agreed to take office on the 16th day of the first lunar month of the new year. I have to take a breath. I will not rest until I reach Beijing all the way north." Jia Yucun glanced at Feng Ziying and mused: "Brother Yu wants to wait until the day after tomorrow. Invite Hanzhong and Qiu Sheng to have a drink, and also ask my dear brother to show their appreciation..."
It seems that Jia Yucun has also gotten to know each other. Wang Qia, the prime minister of the government, is from his hometown and he is not very familiar with him. However, Wang Zhi and Geng Ruqi are very familiar with each other, so with this connection, the relationship is not bad.
As for Fu Shi, needless to say, Fu Shi and Jia Yucun were also familiar with each other.
"Okay, brother, let me invite you. How dare you not come? I haven't seen Hanzhong for a while, and I happen to have some things to explain." Feng Ziying readily agreed.
If Jia Yucun wants to open up the situation as soon as possible, he must first bring Fu Cheng Wang Qia and Zhizhong Fu Shi closer together for his own use.
He was new here, and without the support of Wang Qia and Fu Shi, it would be difficult to carry out a lot of work. This was unacceptable to Jia Yucun, who was determined to do something big in Shuntian Mansion and achieve some results.
Seeing Feng Ziying's willingness to agree, Jia Yucun was also happy, "Brother, what's going on with the Ministry of War?"
"No, to be precise, it's a matter of the Ministry of Justice, but I'm afraid that it will involve the Ministry of War in the end, so I have to remind Hanzhong that my brother is a governor, so I'm afraid we should also attach great importance to it. Li Banghua slipped away. Brother, this burden is not light." Feng Ziying said solemnly.
Jia Yucun was startled, and after a brief thought, he understood, and heaved a sigh of relief: "White Lotus Sect?"...
Jia Yucun's personal visit to the house was a groundbreaking feat for Feng Ziying and the Feng family.
Perhaps neither Jia Yucun nor Feng Ziying realized that Feng Ziying's status had been potentially improved by Jia Yucun's arrival.
You must know that before Jia Yucun, no important minister, that is, an official of the third rank, would come to visit Feng Ziying's house in person. More officials of the fourth, fifth, or sixth or seventh rank came to the house.
For other important ministers, Feng Ziying's qualifications were too low, so Feng Ziying was more likely to visit them. But this time is different.
Jia Yucun is already a third-rank important minister, and he is also an important minister with a high status as Shuntian Prefecture Yin.
Even if he is not recommended by Feng Ziying, he is still an important minister. He is just a general envoy with a relatively noble status but less actual power.
Jia Yucun was the first to take the position of an important minister, so he was a leap of faith. However, after visiting the cabinet ministers, seven ministers, and the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he first came to pay a visit to Feng Ziying.
No matter what the other reasons were, in the eyes of outsiders, Feng Ziying no longer seemed to be the person who respected the last among the important ministers, but had become a backbone role that other important ministers also relied on and respected.
Jia Yucun himself did not expect that his visit would attract so many people's attention.
In his opinion, it was just a natural move for him to visit Feng Ziying's house.
As the minister of the Ministry of War, Feng Ziying was the main contributor to the Southern Expedition, and she strongly recommended him to be transferred from the general affairs envoy to the Shuntian Prefecture Yin. The relationship between the two became closer and deeper.
In addition, the other party is the former Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture. He even represented Shuntian Prefecture Yin when the governor Wu Daonan basically ignored the situation, and he is very familiar with the situation of Shuntian Prefecture.
In addition, the current Prime Minister Wang Qia and Feng Ziying are both from the Shandong Township Party. Fu Shi is a close confidant promoted by Feng Ziying. He needs Feng Ziying to help him connect emotionally and strengthen cooperation in order to Because I can quickly open up the situation in the position of Shuntian Fuyin and make some achievements.
Feng Ziying also specifically mentioned the issue of the White Lotus Sect, which Jia Yucun paid great attention to.
In Nanjing, he had heard about the rampant White Lotus Sect in the North, and many wealthy families in the capital city were also involved with the White Lotus Sect.
Now Feng Ziying specifically mentioned this issue to herself when they first met, because she was afraid that she would be careless on this issue and make a big mistake. After coming out of Feng Mansion, Jia Yucun also breathed a sigh of relief.
Visiting the ministers of the cabinet and the seven ministers, governors, and censors were all part of the purpose, but to really open up the situation quickly, it was inseparable from the strong support of powerful figures like Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying has been in Beijing for many years. The Feng family has great influence in the military. Gyeonggi is the political center but is also close to the border of Northland. Xuanfu and Jizhen border troops are stationed here. There is a mixed crowd in the capital city. She has never served as an official in Northland. , and had no success in the court.
With such a strong backing, he still felt a little uneasy when he suddenly entered the capital.
It can be said that it was an unexpected blessing to be appointed as the general envoy this time. He did not expect that Feng Ziying could help him move to the position of Shuntian Prefecture. Therefore, Jia Yucun was also overjoyed and was determined to do a good job in his career.
He is in urgent need of some people who can provide him with help and support. Feng Ziying is the most important one, so he cannot be scornful.
Moreover, Jia Yucun is also very aware of current affairs. He knows very well that although Feng Ziying is now a third-rank minister like him, his promotion will probably only happen within the past two years.
Even though the other party is too young, he will be rewarded for his merits. It makes sense to suppress him and then put him aside. But when he is in the bag, his advantage will show itself. No one can cover up Feng Ziying's light.
Therefore, it would be normal for Feng Ziying to move to a certain ministry next year and he would not be surprised at all. Such an aid is something that a "junior" like me who has just entered the capital must hold tightly.
Considered from another perspective, Feng Ziying was able to help her move from the position of General Secretary to Shuntian Prefecture, which also shows that she has a strong connection in Beijing. Qi Ge is always his mentor, Chai Shilang has a close relationship with him, and Ye Fang and the two seemed to recognize him quite a bit, and Gu Bingqian was full of praise for him, and he had such a connection with him, so why didn't he keep a firm grasp on it?
As for factors such as face and seniority, it is not my turn to consider them now. I heard that there are different professions and specializations, and those who are more experienced come first. There is no saying that whoever is older and has more seniority should be the first assistant.
