Chapter 103: Election of the Prefect

On the second day after the completion of the army, Yang Xuan convened the official gentry in the lobby of Shunqing Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The feudal dynasty implemented a small government and a big society, and the local gentry were very powerful, and there was a situation in which officials, officials, and squires ruled together.

Yang Xuangao sat on the top, and the officials and gentry in the city entered one by one, and after everyone met, they sat down on both sides.

Just as some people in the previous life criticized the existence of a hypocritical culture in the Kuomintang, they obviously wanted it, but they still had to get the support of the people, and in the end, they had to reluctantly take on the big responsibility for the sake of the people.

The same is true of Yang Xuan, who is full of self-confidence, after everyone sat down, he just sat at the front of the left side of the hall, instead of sitting directly on the throne of the prefect, and said to everyone: "Everyone, in the past few years, we have had the Yao Huang Rebellion in northern Sichuan, captured the prefectures and counties, and plundered the townships, and the people have suffered unspeakably.

In the year of Jiashen (1644 AD), the Son of Heaven was martyred, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, and more than 100 prefectures and counties in Sichuan fell one after another.

Although the former prefect Shi Jinchen Shi was born as a jinshi and has been an official for many years, he has no power to restrain the chicken, and he has no ability to lead troops to fight.

Xuan Yijie scholar, cast pen from Rong, into the army, nine times of big battles, hundreds of small battles, and now the recovery of Shunqing Mansion.

Now, although the Son of Heaven is far away in Jinling, the road is blocked, and Xuan Cai is shallow in learning, I hereby invite all the seniors in the township to discuss major matters, and hope that everyone will eliminate the view of the door and jointly protect the safety of the military and the people of Shunqing. ”

When everyone heard this, their reaction was quite enthusiastic, and many people praised the loyal and righteous army for its strict discipline and no offense with the people.

Yang Xuan was proud, his face was happy, and he glanced at Yin Chengqi next to him.

Yin Chengqi came out of the list and arched his hand: "The adult is a handsome man in the township, although he is calculated to be young and young, he can also be promoted, and his talent is no worse than those Jinshi on the second and third lists of the gold list."

The great humanities and military all-rounders, since the army has repeatedly made special contributions, since the acting Yilongzhi County, the implementation of the new policy, the elimination of more than 100 years of malpractice, its governance of the government is harmonious, respected by the people.

As the saying goes, people don't go without heads, birds don't fly without heads, and we should recommend adults as the prefect of Shunqing to expel the rogues and return the people of Li to a bright future. ”

This was the first to be agreed, proposed by Yin Chengqi, and then under the recommendation of everyone, Yang Xuan took the opportunity to take office as the prefect of Shunqing.

Now Yin Chengqi proposed that many people claimed that it was, and asked Yang Xuan to act as the governor of Qing.

Yang Xuan was proud, and was about to get up and excuse himself a little, when suddenly a scribe in his forties stood up and shouted no.

The duck was about to be cooked, and someone actually came to grab the cooked duck, Yang Xuan was quite unhappy in his heart, and Yin Chengqi, Ouyang Zhi and others next to him reprimanded him repeatedly: "Gou Weiyi, what nonsense are you talking about, my family has made remarkable achievements since the acting governor of the county, and now everyone jointly elects the adult as the prefect, what nonsense are you talking about here?" ”

Gou Weiyi looked disdainful, walked to the middle of the hall, and arched his hand to Yang Xuan: "General, the prefect's hall is the place where the prefect convenes the village gentry and elders. ”

Yang Xuan frowned, quite annoyed, in the Ming Dynasty, even if the generals in the army saw Xiucai or something, they were polite.

In the barbarian Qing Dynasty, before Zuo Zongtang left the mountain, he dared to reprimand the general soldiers in the army in public and asked him to kneel and salute.

This Gou Weiyi is good, he keeps saying that he is a general, although it is an honorific title, but his words and deeds undoubtedly tell everyone that Yang Xuan is just a martial artist, in the Ming Dynasty, how can a martial artist take on the important task of the prefect?

After thinking about it, Yang Xuan looked at him left and right, and said with a smile: "This official passed the county examination at the age of thirteen, passed the government examination at the age of fourteen, passed the hospital examination at the age of sixteen, and participated in the township examination at the age of nineteen.

And although Mr. Gou is rich, he seems to be just a person. ”

This is the imperial examination experience of the body master, Yang Xuan expects that although he is not a super scholar, he can still get this kind of imperial examination experience.

Sure enough, after listening to Yang Xuan's words, everyone was amazed, Sichuan Xie Yuan (the first place in the provincial imperial examination during the township examination, that is, the champion of the provinces in the previous life, the merry and talented Tang Bohu is also the Xie Yuan of Nanzhili) Zou Jianchen stood up and arched his hand: "Brother Zi Xiu is too modest, who can be smooth sailing in the imperial examination, take it as follows, although he won this Xie Yuan, but in the past few years, he has also failed many township examinations."

If the adult is distracted and only reads the book of the sages, it will not be many years before he will be a high school leader, a jinshi, and even the top three in the future. ”

Xie Yuan can be said to be a super scholar in a province, and now this super scholar has said so, and everyone has stretched out their thumbs to express their admiration.

In the hall, Gou Weiyi's face was blue and purple, and the whole person was not uncomfortable, so he endured the grievances in his heart, and arched his hand: "The general's imperial examination is brilliant, and he is ashamed of himself."

The general's deputy list is a person, you should know my Da Ming law. ”

Slightly stunned, this Da Ming Law seems to have been read by the deity, but now I don't have much impression.

After thinking about it, Yang Xuan continued to answer truthfully: "Everyone, since ancient times, literati have been contemptuous, and many madmen think that they are the best in the world, which is unacceptable.

As the saying goes, half-irrigation rings, you must know that you are full of losses.

Brother Gou, although **** Li died in battle, Zhang Guangcai, Wang Jiye and others led the troops to retreat, but we are surrounded by rogues and local tyrants.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's not be a symposium like that Liu Biao, we must reorganize our armaments to prevent the resurgence of the Liukou, we will exterminate the Liukou, and return the people to a bright future.

Ladies and gentlemen, do you think it's good? ”

When the supporters heard this, they shouted loudly.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Shi Jinchen, the former prefect who was sitting opposite, stood up and arched his hand in all directions, and said: "Everyone, Shi has a saying, dare to ask General Yang, this time to convene the township gentry to discuss the matter, it was originally advocated by the general.

Everyone came to the meeting with the feeling of the general's righteousness, how could the general say that everyone was a guest?

Also, of course, everyone should speak freely in the deliberations, the general is proud of his own eloquence, and he does not let this Mr. Gou speak at all, this, is this the general's style in the army?"

This relegated to the general, probably to tell everyone that Yang Xuan was just a military attachΓ©, and even accused the prefect hall of being regarded as a big tent in the army, and reprimanding the sages in the township as soldiers in the barracks.

Although Yang Xuan was quite annoyed, Shi Jinchen was the former prefect of Shunqing Mansion after all, and he had been an official for a long time, so he was naturally not angry and arrogant, and everyone did not dare to argue with Shi Jinchen when they heard him say this.

Yang Xuan laughed, stood up and apologized to Shi Jinchen and the others, and said, "Mr. Shi, don't be angry, I didn't mean that your Mr. Shi is a guest, and this Mr. Gou is not a guest."

I hope that everyone will work together, and I hope that everyone can resist Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong together, instead of Li Zicheng to surrender Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to surrender to Zhang Xianzhong as in the past, in this case, don't you become a slave of the three families?

Mr. Shi, Mr. Gou, do you think that's the truth? Ladies and gentlemen, don't you want to protect the territory and the people? ”

In the feudal dynasty, in order to avoid officials being officials, the system of flowing officials, or appointing officials in different places, was implemented.

That is to say, the prefect of Shunqing Prefecture is outside the province of Sichuan, and these officials rely on the royal authority and use local officials to suppress the locality.

And now, although Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong is the emperor in Jiangning (Nanjing), the Manchu Qing Dynasty has entered Beijing, and there are two major domestic robes, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and the royal authority is not there.

And Yang Xuan is a local, and the year before last, he was promoted to the deputy list, although there are dozens of people in Shunqing Mansion and the deputy list, but everyone is a scholar, and they have had contacts in the past, and they are quite close.

Now seeing that the loyal and righteous soldiers are strong and strong, Yang Xuan is fighting for the Qing prefect with iron heart, everyone is a human spirit, they have already seen the situation, and they are happy to be served by locals.

In addition, what is more important is that after the implementation of the new policy, the opportunities for scholars have increased greatly, each village elects a village head, each township is appointed by the government, and each county elects a councilor.

These talents and people have a certain reputation and prestige in the local area, and of course they are the main candidates for township mayors and councilors.

Whether it is the view of the portal or the benefit to themselves, many people naturally support Yang Xuan.

Seeing the continuous applause around him, Shi Jinchen was extremely annoyed, Yang Xuan not only accused himself of being a guest, but also accused himself of defecting to the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army successively, even so, it was not easy to deal with the other party, his face was pale, and he sat opposite without saying a word.

Gou Weiyi's face was even more ugly, but now that he had forcibly come out, he had no way to retreat, so he had to give up his hand and say: "My lord, you keep saying that you are a deputy leader, have you ever seen that I have served as both a general in the army and a military general of the prefect?"

It seems that the other party still fights himself on the side of the general, Yang Xuan smiled and replied: "Mr. Shi, Mr. Gou, of course I have the tradition of literati and soldiers, and how many Jinshi serve as governors and governors.

Although there are some people who don't know soldiers at all and don't dare to watch the battlefield killing scenes, it is my Ming tradition that literati pawn soldiers. Since the literati can serve as governors and governors, they can govern the army and the people.

What's wrong with serving as a prefect and a general at the same time?

I have repeatedly emphasized here that this official is from a liberal arts scholar, and this official is not a martial arts examiner, a martial artist.

This official teacher, the former governor Chen Shiqi Chen was appointed as the magistrate of Yilong County, and the governor of Yamen Qianzong, why have you forgotten these things?

Mr. Gou just mentioned the Da Ming Law, which is strange, is the Da Ming Law against the literati in charge of the army?

If this is really the case, did the emperors of all dynasties and the governors of all dynasties violate my great law? ”

When Gou Weiyi heard this, he shook his head again and again, and said vigorously that the Ming Law emphasizes the division of civil and military rule, and now that Yang Xuan is a general in the army and has become a prefect, this matter is too heavy, and it may cause suspicion in the imperial court, so it is far from the blessing of the loyal army, nor the blessing of the military and the people of Shunqing.

Gou Weiyi suggested that it was better to nominate one person as the prefect, and Yang Xuan was a full-time general, so that the civil and military cooperation would reduce the suspicion of the imperial court and reduce the burden on Yang Xuan.
