The next day, Zhu Yuan will read out the holy decree, that is, officially start work, so early the next morning, all the high-ranking officials in Henan Province gathered at the gate of the Kaifeng Mansion and waited for the summons of Lord Qincha.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang in order to avoid the formation of the Han and Tang Dynasty local forces, divided the provincial power into three, the political envoy was responsible for the civil affairs of the province, taxation, etc., and the envoy was responsible for the trial and investigation of cases in the province.

Lao Zhu's starting point for this method is good, that is, to reduce the power of local officials and avoid the phenomenon of excessive local power against the central government. But Lao Zhu forgot that the Chinese like infighting the most, and you have to fight for a class leader in the class, let alone be in charge of a province with a population of tens of millions. Zhu Yuanzhang's three-division system proved unfeasible less than a hundred years after his death, and the three divisions had to fight for merit, and if there were problems, they all pushed it to the other party, and in the end, there was no way for the central government to come up with a governor system.

The official position of governor was originally a kind of Qincha, and it was originally a temporary official position established by Zhu Yuanzhang in order to solve some local affairs. The first governor was Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered him to patrol Shaanxi, so it was not Zhu Hongsan's initiative to order the prince to serve as the Qin messenger in the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning, the governor was only a temporary official position, only responsible for supervising taxes and grain, the prime minister's river, pacifying the displaced people, and rectifying the border passes. During the Jiajing period, the local population increased, the contradictions between the three divisions increased day by day, and at the same time, the problem of the Japanese in the southwest of the empire became more and more serious.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the number of displaced people increased day by day, and at the same time, the imperial wars became more and more frequent, and the establishment of a governor in charge of military affairs in a province no longer played a role, so the central government added the post of governor on top of the governor, in charge of the military affairs of many provinces.

After Zhu Hongsan occupied the world, he issued a holy decree to set down the official position of governor, stipulating that each province should set up a governor, who was the highest chief executive of the province.

Although the official positions of the political envoys and the envoys have been demoted, they still have a lot of power in their hands because the affairs they are responsible for have not changed. Of course, not all of the three divisions hold heavy power, and the most unlucky of them is the capital division.

The full name of the Metropolitan Command and Envoy Department is the highest military governor of a province, responsible for the management of the guards within the jurisdiction of the department, as well as various military-related affairs, is the highest military leadership body in local peacetime, subordinate to the central Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces, and obeys the orders of the Ministry of War.

Du Si was relatively important in the early Ming Dynasty and was one of the three divisions, but with the rise of the civil class in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, these military generals Qiu Ba were beaten into the eighteenth layer of hell. At the same time, because some of the functions of the metropolitan division were duplicated with those of the inspectors, the local metropolitan divisions completely became landlords who were only responsible for the system of guards under the suppression of civil officials.

The capital was suppressed, but the local security could not be ignored, and at this time, the most chaotic official position in the Chinese officialdom appeared, which was the Taoist.

Dao is a local administrative or supervisory division in Chinese history, which was established in the Western Han Dynasty, developed during the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, continued to develop and improve during the Tang and Song dynasties, tended to be perfect in the Ming and Qing dynasties, continued to be used during the Republic of China, and ceased to be used after the establishment of New China. It should be noted that the nature and administrative units of the Tao vary from time to time.

In the Han Dynasty, the Dao was an administrative division at the same level as the county, and the Tang Dynasty Dao was a larger institution than the provincial level, and there were only ten Dao in the country. The Yuan Dynasty Dao was an administrative body between the provincial and prefectural levels, and some of the regions of New China were in charge of counties and cities, and were also controlled by the provincial government.

However, the administrative division of the Ming Dynasty began to change, at the beginning the province was only in charge of the civil affairs and supervision of one to several prefectures and counties, and its names were different, according to the system, there were the administrative sub-divisions and the divisions according to the inspection, and the divisions were divided according to the duties, and there were the provinces in charge of special affairs and the provinces that governed the prefectures and counties. Later, due to the weakening of the authority of the capital division, there were sub-guarding roads responsible for garrisoning troops at key nodes, sub-patrol roads responsible for public security, and reorganizing troops and preparation roads responsible for weapons logistics.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the official position of the Tao was very chaotic, and the level was varied, and there were all kinds of things, and the sub-division of the political envoy on behalf of the envoy was from the three high-ranking officials, but some of the sub-patrol roads were only from the five grades, and Li Zhi was the patrol of Guangzhou, and the official position was from the five grades.

In addition to these local officials, there are also officials sent by the central government, such as the Grain Governor, which is directly under the central household department to supervise the grain reserves, and the two Huai Patrol Salt Roads, which are the first in the world and have a fart oil crotch, these are all official positions appointed by the central government.

At present, the highest chief executive of Henan Province is Governor Wu Peichang, the third department is the political envoy Zhang Jiayu, the envoy Yang Qiongfang, and the secretary Wei Qing, these four people are provincial-level cadres, and below them are those chaotic Taoists, what is the vice president of the court, the provincial education director's admiral Xuedao, the provincial postmaster's post office, the water conservancy of the director of the water conservancy department, the river channel that manages the Yellow River waterway, the provincial military district training bureau's Zhaolian road, the provincial salt monopoly bureau's salt law road, and other military supervision roads, sub-patrol roads, military preparation roads, and so on.

Behind these Taoists is the prefect, Henan Province has eight prefectures, twelve prefectures and 96 counties, today is to welcome the Qincha, all the local administrators of the province must attend, so all the prefects, prefectures, and counties in the province are here. These people, plus those Taoists, as well as all kinds of palanquin drivers, family members, guards and others, there are more than 300 people in total, standing on the school field at the entrance of the Kaifeng Mansion in a disorderly manner.

Zhang Jiayu, as the initiator of this incident, sued all the officials in the province, so he naturally became a stinky fish, and everyone avoided him for fear of retaliation by others. So Zhang Jiayu stood alone at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, closing his eyes and waiting for the messenger to speak.

Standing opposite Zhang Jiayu was Yang Qiongfang, the president of the provincial court and the envoy of the provincial court, and Wei Qing, the commander of the provincial military district and the commander of the capital. These two people are also the main officials of Zhang Jiayu's lawsuit, so these two people are really cold to Zhang Jiayu.

Wei Qing was the deputy commander of the New Army and the second division of the New Army, he was wounded in the siege of Jinan, so he transferred to the local government and became the military governor of a province, responsible for all the garrison troops in the province. Wei Qing is a martial artist, and when he saw Zhang Jiayu's stinky fart, he was angry, and scolded in a low voice next to Yang Qiongfang: "Lord Zhentai, look at Zhang Jiayu's villain appearance, Xia Guan really wants to step forward and beat him!" ”

Yang Qiongfang knew that Wei Qing was bragging, Zhang Jiayu was born in the Military Aircraft Department back then, but Wei Qing's direct superior, Wei Qing dared to really do it. However, Yang Qiongfang is now in the same camp as Wei Qing, and she wants to save some face for him, so she didn't say anything.

"Lord Wei, you and I are both governors of a province, don't do those things that are unseemly, as for that matter, it is easy to say, there is Lord Shoufu in the court, and Lord Futai Wu in the province, Lord Wei, don't worry!"

Wei Qing was relieved when he heard Yang Qiongfang say this, but he was worried for more than a month. A few years ago, tens of thousands of people died in the big case in Jiangsu, and even Zhang Chonglun, the Marquis of Zhending, the commander of the Nanjing infantry Yamen, had his head cut off, Zhang Chonglun was an old man who started from Wuchang with the emperor, and he was born in the second batch of teaching regiments. In this way, he was killed by the emperor, Wei Qing, a deputy head of the regiment, a provincial commander, and the title was only a hereditary brocade cloth Wei Qianhu, if he was really verified by the Qin Mission, he would definitely not live.

Wei Qing also regretted it at this time, why was he obsessed with money at that time and listened to Wu Peichang's words? You really shouldn't have taken those thousands of silver dollars.

"Lord Yang, I heard that the Qin Cha who came this time is the fourth prince of His Majesty, I don't know if I can..." Wei Qing means that your Chu Party is not good, can you fool Qin Cha out?

Yang Qiongfang was born in Jinshi and is a native of Changsha, Huguang, and has always looked down on Qiu Ba like Wei Qing, but now there is no way, who calls the two of them a grasshopper on a rope!

Yang Qiongfang said patiently: "Lord Wei, don't worry, even if the governor is not good, there is still Lord Shoufu, and Lord Shoufu is not good, and there is still a prince!" ”

At this time, the crowd on the school field separated, and a four-person official sedan chair came to the front, and it was the governor Wu Peichang who arrived.

Yang Qiongfang and Wei Qing hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Xiaguan greets Lord Futai!" ”

Wu Peichang got out of the sedan chair and arched his hand and said, "The two of you arrived early!" After speaking, he looked at Zhang Jiayu, who was not far away, and sneered: "Lord Fantai, why don't you come to greet Shangguan?" "During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the officialdom etiquette was very cumbersome, and it was a matter of knowledge to see who to call and how to salute, and the governor was the governor of a province, and Zhang Jiayu, as the executive vice governor, did not come to greet him.

Zhang Jiayu was ready to fight Wu Peichang on the day he wrote the book, and now he sneered when he heard Wu Peichang say this: "Wu Peichang, you and this official are both suspended pending investigation, what else are you talking about if you are not an official, now you are at the same level as this official." When the official was the governor of Jiangxi, you were still a squire, and you still want the official to salute you? ”

The knot between Zhang Jiayu and Ma Mingyuan was knotted at that time, if it weren't for Ma Mingyuan's Mingsheng and secret descent, Zhang Jiayu would not have been able to become a political envoy from the governor. However, what Zhang Jiayu said is also reasonable, when Wu Peichang was a waiter in the Ministry of Finance, he was the third grade, and Zhang Jiayu was the second grade of the governor of Jiangxi, and it was indeed Zhang Jiayu who was higher than Wu Peichang.

Wu Peichang was robbed to death by Zhang Jiayu, and just as he was about to sneer at each other, he saw the gate of Kaifeng Mansion open, and a brocade guard wearing a bright yellow flying fish suit came out and shouted: "Henan Governor Wu Peichang and Henan officials, enter the mansion to meet Lord Qincha!" ”

Wu Peichang heard that he was going to do business, so he no longer got angry with Zhang Jiayu, glared at Zhang Jiayu and took the lead into Kaifeng Mansion.
