Volume 3: A Generation of Tianjiao - Chapter 24: Li Bin's Choice (1)

What will happen to a feudal town, prefecture and county, if the Jiedu envoy resigns and picks up books?

The correct answer is---- nothing will happen, and the government and military departments will continue to operate as usual, basically no different from before the resignation of the Lord of the Temperance.

In fact, this is not surprising, since he took charge of the state government, Li Wenge has been promoting the concept and system of bureaucratic governance in Yanzhou. The officials in charge of the local administration under his command were not subordinates of the Jiedu Prefecture, but bureaucrats with their own independent administrative powers, and most of these bureaucrats, except for a few appointed by Li Wenge himself, were recommended and elected by their superiors, and all Li Wenge did was sign the appointment letter submitted below.

Therefore, Li Jieshuai's gambling and provocative book did not cause any serious consequences to the implementation of state government, Yanzhou did not enter a state of anarchy, and Qin Gu, who took into account the overall situation, was still working hard to maintain the situation, and under his leadership, the state government was not thrown behind.

In addition to the grasp and control of the army, Li Wenchang actually practiced the "rule of vertical arches" in Yanzhou before the Cultural Revolution. He did not keep all the power of the state capital in his own hands through his staff (which his predecessor Gao Yunquan actually did), and he even rarely bothered with specific administrative work, and he occasionally paid attention to civil affairs, either to adjust the organization or system, or to make personnel changes.

Li Wenge himself was far from being a diligent envoy, and his work ability and understanding of the situation at the grassroots level were far from the actual needs. And the political structure in Yanzhou, although bureaucratic, has a certain flavor of anti-centralization. In the process of establishing this system, Li Wenge has always emphasized a clear division of labor and clear responsibilities. In the process. The relationship between power and responsibility was imperceptibly instilled throughout the officialdom, which led to two distinct differences between the officials of the Eighth Route Army and other feudal towns.

The first difference is the difference in the size of power, the civil officials under Li Wenge are extremely powerful on weekdays, and these civil officials can basically have the final say in the field they are in charge of, and they don't have to ask for instructions or figure out the mind of the marshal in everything. The second difference is that the power to appoint personnel is basically dispersed among the chief officials at all levels, and Li Wenge himself rarely interferes with the civilian clique's efforts to expand its sphere of influence.

So far, the Yanzhou military and political clique has actually practiced a dualistic chieftain system in terms of supreme power. The close cooperation between Li Bin, the civilian leader, and Li Wenge, the military leader, is the most fundamental reason why this model of power has continued to this day. Although the civilian officials unanimously supported Li Bin's decision to put Li Wenge on the throne of the envoy of the festival, it was more a recognition of Li Bin's prestige and virtue. In the eyes of the civilian clique, the relationship between the civilian officials of Yanzhou and the Yanzhou army has always been an alliance. The link between this alliance is Li Bin and Li Wenge. Therefore, for these civilian officials, Li Wenge appropriately ceded some of his power in exchange for the support of the civilian clique, which was a good model for the two sides to continue to cooperate. (Starter)

In fact, in this turmoil, what the civil officials really couldn't accept the most was not Chen Su's appointment as the head of the Yanzhou system to join the military, but the rapid rise of the Chen family in Yanzhou.

Chen Shutong was originally a distant relative of a declining family in Yanzhou, and he was unwilling to take the imperial examination. In the Yanzhou civil official group, which is mainly based on scholars. The vast majority of people look down on Chen Shutong very much. And this half-spoken old guy has a daughter who is famous in the city, and this daughter is rumored to have sworn to marry a pig and a dog and resolutely not marry a scholar. And that's not all. Chen Shutong's children's book Chen Zhe simply tore off his face and became a businessman who ran a cheap business that was extremely despised by readers.

All kinds of reasons add up, the slander of the old Chen family within the Yanzhou officialdom is actually very deep, except for a very small number of officials from the family such as Gao Shaoyuan and others, Yanzhou civil officials rarely walk around with the old Chen family on weekdays.

It's at this juncture. Chen Su's thorny rose was easily picked by an alien camel book......

Although it is difficult to know the specifics, Han Wei has been in Yanzhou for nearly a year but has always had few customers, which is very revealing in itself.

Then, it was the amazing leap of this old and young in the Yanzhou officialdom. Chen Zhe, a businessman covered with copper stench, actually became a guest in the Jiedu Mansion, Li Wenge's enthusiasm every time he saw Chen Zhe made the Yanzhou civil officials secretly rumored that the reason why this festival marshal had never married a wife was actually something else---- Chen Zhe was undoubtedly General Li's confidant. Fortunately, these rumors are all undercurrents, and no one who lacks heart will run to Li Wenge to chew his tongue.

After the implementation of the new land policy, the original land-based Yanzhou family has declined in an instant, and the land that symbolizes the status and status of property has become less and less. In order to preserve as much real estate as possible in this land reform, these families separated from each other so that the younger generations of the family could obtain as much surplus as possible. At this time, the Chen family, which had little land but had a powerful business name and trade, did not have this problem at all, and the Chen family was slowly surpassing the Gao family and the Han family to become the largest clan in Yanzhou......

In addition, Chen Shutong's direct promotion from the county lieutenant to the county commander and from the county magistrate to the chief of the political department also made the majority of civil officials in Yanzhou depressed. Everyone knows that Yanzhou is the absolute political, economic, cultural and military center on General Li's territory, and the two counties of Yan'an and Fushi are the center of this center, whether it is the Qin Gu era or the Gao Shaoyuan era. The prefectural orders of the two counties were divided (previously Xicheng was directly governed by the judge of Jiedu). Only when he came to Chen Shutong's place, the county magistrates of the two major counties were singled out. also served as the head of the state government, it can be said that below the judge of Yanzhou Jiedu, Chen Shutong is the most powerful person. xUC e-book x first x release x

Not only that, Chen Shutong's son-in-law Han Wei is an outsider. He was appointed by Li Wenge as a pedestrian to participate in the military and Zhaowen to participate in the military, and was in charge of Yanzhou's diplomatic power and ideological management power, and was appointed as one of the deputy examiners in this imperial examination. What's even more unbelievable, Han Wei's father Han Tong is a military minister in Bianliang, and he holds the forbidden army in Suwei, and he is deeply favored by Guo Wei and Chai Rong's father, not to mention that his family still has a local foundation in Shaanzhou outside the Guan. No matter from which point of view, Han Wei's background is something that the civil officials in Yanzhou can't compare with and can't provoke. With such a figure as the pillar of the next generation of the Chen family, the arrogance of the Chen family is bound to be even more arrogant.

It is in this case. It happened that Li Wenge wanted to appoint Chen Su as the judge of Yanzhou Jiedu in vain, and finally appointed the article as the judge of Jiedu, and reappointed Chen Su as the recorder to participate in the military and local public case.

As soon as this matter came out, the article was actually pushed into a corner.

The reason why I say this is because in the eyes of the entire Yanzhou Shilin, the judge of the section of the article was made by Chen Su and his daughters, and Chen Su's father Chen Shutong happened to be the most powerful political director and the county magistrate of Yan'an and Fushi counties under his subordinates, and although Chen Zhe was a businessman, he had a special task of being able to enter and leave Jiedu Mansion freely; Han Wei himself was in charge of the affairs of the heart of the Shogunate. At this time, another Chen Sulai was added to Li Wenge's side to participate in the pre-secret in the name of recording and participating in the military. In the future, no matter what the ability of the article is, it is almost certain that it will be overlooked by Chen Shutong---- not to mention that this book was originally given by other people's daughters.

The article was really forced to be helpless. In the end, he launched a Jedi counterattack, and his own family was actually very worried. After all, Li Wenge, as a party Jiezhen, has the right to kill Jieyue in his hand, and it is estimated that it will not be too fun to end up in case he is angered.

His only reliance is that although he did not seek Li Bindi's permission in advance this time, he has the status of a younger brother after all. Once Li Wenge was furious and wanted to kill himself, Li Bin was able to say a few words for himself.

He did this, on the one hand, many colleagues felt that Li Wenge's selection of a woman to be an official felt intolerable, although not many people now regarded Li Wenge as the future lord, but they always felt in their hearts that a person who could promote a woman to become an official was not so reliable for the Shiren group. These people originally had no right to speak under the suppression of the Gao family and the Yanzhou clan forces, but now they finally gained such a little power, even if they were divided from the hands of Li Wenge, they also felt precious. Now that Li Wenge wants to promote the women of the Chen family to be officials, whether it is Chen Su's gender or the Chen family's family status, these scholars and bureaucrats find it difficult to tolerate. On the one hand, they could not allow Li Wenge to subvert Dong Zhongshu's Three Platforms and Five Constants, and on the other hand. They can't tolerate the salted fish of the Yanzhou clan turning over......

So the article organized a pigeon book meeting with the support of many civil officials, and released the pigeon book to General Li Da, who had the supreme power in Yanzhou.

For the whole night, the article did not sleep well, and he waited almost at any time for the police from the prosecutor's office or the tiger and wolf soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to enter the house and arrest him in prison. In this era, there is a price to pay for doing things under the hands of a warlord, and in this era it is extremely dangerous to provoke a warlord.

A night passed, and nothing happened. The article slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that Qin Gu must have conveyed his opinion and that of his colleagues to Li Wenge. Li Wenge would have lost his temper a long time ago, and since the matter has come to this day, he is still fine. That shows that although this marshal often engages in some oolongs, he also attaches great importance to the attitude of the civilian group.

As long as there is room for compromise, things are easy to do.

The final hope of the article is actually not difficult, Chen Shutong can serve as the chief of the political affairs, but the Yan'an County Decree and the Fushi County Decree can no longer be both. If Chen Su entered the Jiedu Mansion to record the military affairs, Han Wei could not continue to serve in the shogunate---- of course, the nominal reason was to avoid suspicion, and the husband and wife could not serve in the same department. In essence, Yanzhou officialdom has long been discussed in private, Li Jieshuai has tried his best to get along with Chen Su by his side, it is difficult to say what kind of thoughts he is thinking, although there is no evidence, but in the eyes of many people looking at Han Wei, the head on the head of this Han Xing has long been as green as the robe on his body.

In addition, the article feels that no matter how big Chen Su is, he is worse than Han Wei, and being able to drive Han Wei out of Jiedu Mansion is equivalent to cutting off the Chen family's arm. Chen Shutong no longer concurrently serves as a local substantive officer, and he will only live up to his name as a judge of the festival.

These calculations were all made by him in private, and the reason why he wanted to use the gender of Chen Su's woman to talk about things. The main thing is that he is alone, and it is inevitable that he will lose the way to the book when he says this, and it is also difficult to incite many colleagues to gain support.

Although he himself disdains women as officials, it has not come to such a point, in his opinion, the female book as an official is purely a whim of Li Jieshuai. Women are women, officialdom is the preserve of men, and even if a woman has great power, it is difficult for her to make much waves in a male-dominated bureaucratic society, in this sense. Chen Su and Han Wei, who has the background of a father who is an important military minister, must not be the same.

Yanzhou civil officials, Li Bin is the leader, and Qin Gu is the second, which is recognized by the whole state and recognized by Li Wenge. In addition, who sits in the third position of the Yanzhou civil official group is the thing that the scholars in Yanzhou are most concerned about.

At present, there are only four candidates who are qualified for this competition.

The first is the article, which is written by Li Bindi's younger brother. Before Li Wenge took power, he had already established a county Ming government, and his qualifications were the same as Qin Gu's. He served as the director of the transfer for another year, and he was the backbone of the local scholar group in Yanzhou. Among the civil officials, although he has not said it explicitly, many people vaguely regard him as the third person in the Yanzhou civil official group, and the article itself has always used this to make a promise.

The second is Gao Shaoyuan. Although this remnant of the Gao family got up late and did not have a meritorious reputation, he had a strong backhand, and he was transferred by the article's subordinates to Gyeongju and directly knew about Gyeongju, becoming the first state official promoted in Li Wenge's system. However, Gao Shaoyuan's disadvantages are also obvious, as the only remnant of the Gao family in Yanzhou officialdom, there is a natural gap between the Yanzhou civil official group, and it is impossible for the Shiren group to elect a Gao family member as the number three person in the group.

The third is Xiao Yali, who was transferred from a remote county to the state capital, and has always been known for his strict and unwilling. After he arrived in the state capital, he almost didn't associate with anyone, even with Li Wenge and Li Bin. There is no contact with the Shiren group, and the foundation of this person is all in Linzhen County, and there are almost no party members in the state capital. According to the chief inspector in charge of public security and prison, although the power is heavy, but the errands that offend people are all done, so although Xiao's qualifications are old, he does not have the conditions to become a recognized leader of Yanzhou's civil officials.

The fourth is Han Wei. It is also one of the most taboo characters in the article. This man is young. But the background is profound, and the family background is beyond the reach of everyone in Yanzhou. After marrying the Chen family in Yanzhou, this person has begun to show signs of taking root in Yanzhou. What is even more worrying is that as soon as this person came to Yanzhou, he was extended by Li Wenge to the shogunate and treated as a guest, although the two positions he currently holds are only the rank of seven ranks, but they are the most important positions around Li Wenge, and all the propaganda and information officers set up by the Yanzhou Prefecture in the ten counties are all promoted by this person, and it should be extremely easy for these people to pass the preliminary examination and participate in the re-examination according to the standards of this imperial examination. And Han Wei was selected by Li Wenge as one of the three deputy examiners for the re-examination this time......

Han Wei continued to stay in the shogunate of the Eighth Route Army, and the article was really not confident that he would be able to compete for this hunchback.

The article was full of waiting for Li Wenge to reconvene the people on the second day---- of course, it was convened through Qin Gu and others, or Li Wenge even learned from Liu Zhaolie to come to the door in person to show his humility. However, there was no news until the afternoon, and the article could no longer hold back, so he put on his robe and went to the state magistrate's office, looking at the matter and inquiring about the news.

Then he got the news of Li Wenge's resignation.

The article was dumbfounded.

Thousands of calculations, he never calculated this result.

I've never heard of a priest who resigned to his subordinates, and he resigned for such a reason......

He was acutely aware that something seemed to have gone wrong with the whole thing.

He went to Qin Gu for the first time and asked about the whole thing, Qin Gu angrily affirmed the authenticity of the news, and complained angrily while telling him not to spread the news--- such an irresponsible marshal, I am afraid that there is only one living treasure in the world!"

The article did not pick up Qin Gu's words.

On the same day, the news spread throughout Yanzhou officialdom......
