Chapter 403: Chess Game and Choice
Fengyang Governor Yang's movements, Yangzhou officials and famous people are very concerned, the news of his departure from Huai'an Mansion, two days later, Yangzhou officials and officials of the grade know.
The governor's fleet slowly moved south along the canal, leaving Huai'an, passing through Baoying, and arriving at the state city of Gaoyou Prefecture three days later. Here it was only sixty miles away from the border of Jiangdu County and more than a hundred miles from Yangzhou City, but the fleet stopped.
Yang Futai temporarily lived in the Yucheng Station outside the south gate of Gaoyou City, which was stranded, causing all kinds of speculation from outsiders. In fact, the real origin is that on the way, Yang Futai learned that Li You was suddenly stuck at the current sensitive moment, and Shangshu violently criticized the news of salt maladministration, which he thought was very interesting, and sniffed out a lot of unusual information from it.
Whether it is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, or to watch the fire from the other side, or if he doesn't want to be used as a gun by some people, Lord Yang suddenly stopped hurrying to Yangzhou, and planned to sit firmly in Gaoyou Prefecture and live on the fishing platform for a few days.
Today's Yang Zhi is like a chaotic chess game, not only Li You, Luo Shenzheng, and Yan Yunsi are chess players, but even Yang Futai, who is superior, is also one of the chess players. Everyone has their own chess path, but no one can see the overall market trend clearly, so they have to carefully take one step at a time.
At sunset on this day, on the outer official wharf at the east gate of Yangzhou City, Master Ren dragged a long shadow and sent the owner Luo Dashen onto the boat, but he still advised: "Don't be impulsive, think twice!" ”
Luo was unmoved, "I have made up my mind!" ”
Luo Shenzheng has completely figured it out, he wants to go to Gaoyou Prefecture to welcome the governor from afar, in order to show his deference and express his intention to serve!
Yangzhou City is about two miles away from Gaoyouzhou City, a total of 120 miles. In terms of etiquette on the official field, the farther away the greeting, the more solemn, different distances represent different levels, probably divided into small and small out of the government office, small out of the city and ten miles out of the city, out of the city to the county boundary, etc., but there is no saying that the distance is 120 miles.
Drive 120 miles from Sanpin to another state and county to welcome the arrival of the boss of Zheng Erpin, this is a rather pat thing, if you have to evaluate this kind of behavior, it can only be said to be low, servile! Only when you have achieved the level of Zhang Jiangling, the first assistant of the regent of the Wanli Dynasty, can you probably enjoy this kind of treatment of welcoming a hundred miles.
In this regard, Luo Shenzheng secretly thought, he showed sincerity so much, people's hearts are long, and he should be able to win a little favor in Futai's heart.
On the surface, the governor moved to Yangzhou, and the biggest victim was him, the acting government affairs caught in the middle, but if you think about it carefully, it may not be.
Now although he has been promoted to the third grade, he can neither fight Li You nor defeat the Salt Transport Division. From another point of view, with his current disadvantaged situation that is so bad that it can't be worse, what else can he lose?
When the governor comes, no matter how bad it is for him, how bad can it be, and the vested interests of the existing order, such as the Salt Transportation Division and Li You, are the ones who should be most worried!
Changing the pattern may even be a good thing for him. When the governor first arrived in Yangzhou, he also needed help, if he could smoothly fall to the governor, he could take advantage of the situation and use his strength, maybe he could get back the disadvantage from Li You's hands.
In the past, he had the attitude that his term of office was about to expire and he would be promoted and transferred away at any time, and many things didn't matter except for pursuing promotion. And three months ago, the court promoted him to sit on the ground, and according to the normal term, he would continue to serve in Yangzhou for at least three years to the pill year, and he couldn't look up and see him when he bowed his head, so he couldn't always be pressed by Li You like this.
Standing on the shore and sending the government boat away, Master Ren, who stayed behind to watch the house, sighed secretly in his heart. The proprietor is mediocre, likes to rely on others in his actions, and lacks tenacity and autonomy. Even if he succeeds this time, he still can't get out of the shadow of others. …,
You know, from the three grades of the big man is no longer at the level of the prefect... He, the proprietor's official authority, is only afraid that even Li You is not as good.
Rushed overnight, and a day later, Luo Shenzheng got off the boat at the South Wharf of Gaoyou Prefecture. Yucheng Station is not far from the South Wharf, and now it has become the governor's line, and it can be said to be heavily guarded.
Luo participated in politics and went to the concierge to deliver a red envelope, and then handed the notebook in. It didn't take long for a word to summon him in, which made Lord Luo a little complacent.
Originally, he was ready to come back tomorrow, and he didn't want to spread the word so quickly. After all, I think that I am from the third grade, and the governor also values it. It's a pity that his third or fourth grade doesn't seem to make any difference in Li You's eyes.
Luo Shenzheng was led by the servants to a wide pavilion hidden under a few late plum branches, the spring breeze was blowing, and the plum fragrance was bursting, which was extremely elegant.
He straightened his clothes and respectfully stepped forward to pay a visit, but suddenly a familiar and boring voice came into his ears.
Someone in the Xuan chanted aloud: "... A handshake among the thousands of people made my sleeves fragrant. After seeing Lao Zhongcheng, this poem suddenly popped up in my heart, and I just took it out to offer ugliness. ”
This is Li You's voice! Luo almost jumped up in politics, how did he get there first? What "a handshake among the ten thousand people made my sleeves fragrant for three years. "This sycophant poem is too shameless!
Luo participated in politics and turned into Xuanzhong, and saw Yang Futai sitting in the middle, and who was sitting sideways next to him, not Li You! I just saw a number of sedan chairs parked outside the door, no wonder a few sedan chair drivers are very familiar!
When Master Li heard the sound, he turned his head and suddenly saw Luo Zhifu, and he was also stunned, and couldn't help asking, "How did Luo Dashen get here?" ”
Luo Shenzheng saluted Yang Futai first, and Yang Futai clasped his palms together and smiled: "The two parents of your mansion almost came together, but it was just the kung fu of the front and back feet, and the headquarters received a great gift!" ”
Neither Lord Li nor Luo Shenzheng expected that the long-distance drive would also crash, so they could only stare at each other a few times at this time, and they barely greeted each other.
The two of them thought to themselves, they thought that only I could put down my body, but I really didn't expect that you could grovel and run hundreds of miles away to meet your boss, I really underestimated you before.
Yang Futai observed his words and knew that Li You and Luo were really on the same page as rumored, and the two of them were both acting Yang Lingfu, but they came to visit him separately behind each other's backs, which illustrates this even more.
At the same time, judging from Li You's fierce criticism of Yanwu, it can also be known that the feud between Li You and the Salt Transportation Division still exists, and there is a tendency to intensify.
Thinking of this, Lord Yang also had to secretly praise this Li You is really a talent. In Yangzhou Yamen, this person is the lowest level of Jiangdu County, not only disagrees with the top boss, but also has a grudge against the "Emperor Tai Xian" Yanyun Division of Yangzhou Mansion.
However, after nearly a year, this person has become stronger and stronger, and with five or six grades, he has fought hard to create a situation where Yangzhou Mansion has one of three points in the world. Outsiders may simply think that this is because he has a hard root, but in fact, he is just a companion, and the key lies in his personal ability.
Luo Zhifu sat down, and in addition to the depression of being preempted, there were also a few hints of Nahan. It is rumored that Futai and Li You have a lot of age in Xuyi, but when they see each other today, why are they talking very happily.
It can only be said that there is no eternal hatred, only eternal interests...
For Li You, the last confrontation with Yang Futai was a complete victory, so naturally he can't talk about any hatred for Yang Futai.
He ran such a trip, not only to welcome the horse, but also to test Yang Futai's attitude, which is a major premise. In this chess game, Master Li, who has experienced a hundred battles and has miraculous skills to protect his body, is not afraid of fighting, but what he is most afraid of is chaotic battles. As far as he is concerned, as long as the situation is clear, it is easy to do, if he can get to the governor, he will stammer, if he can't, then think of another way. …,
And in Yang Futai's heart, there is nothing to say about Li You's mustard, but the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and he still has the open-mindedness he should have as a second-grade feudal territory. The last time I did one in Xuyi, the reason was that he wanted to steal credit for self-protection, which caused a dispute, and it was impossible to blame Li You.
Secondly, when Li You played this rebuttal last year, he did not say a word from beginning to end that he was not a certain person, obviously leaving room for it, which still has to be admitted.
The most important thing is that Yang Futai was worried that he would lose his official position and resign because of poor flood control, so he wanted to rob Li You of his credit for self-protection. But in the end, the court did not demote him, although the power was divided, but the position of governor was retained, so he didn't complain much about Li You.
Having said that, at this moment, the two heavyweight subordinates are competing for favor with each other, which is of course a joy for Yang Futai, and it is better for the North Qi to be hostile and not cooperative.
The position of the governor is too high, and if you enter the cabinet with a concubine, it can be said that it is closer to the sky than the earth, so down-to-earth things must be done by subordinates who can be relied on.
The two people in front of him are the most powerful magistrates in Yangzhou City, but these two people are-for-tat and it is difficult to get along harmoniously. He probably needs to make a choice, who does he rely on?
As the governor, he has the power to suppress Luo Shenzheng and Li Tongzhi at the same time, but the power cannot stitch the hearts of the people, but he cannot rely on Luo Shenzheng and Li Tongzhi at the same time.
He could tell that if he thought that his wrist was superior and he was reluctant to thin the mud, the most likely consequence would be the loss of both.
And Yang Futai also knows very well that as long as Luo Shenzheng and Li Tongzhi rely on one, they are afraid that the other will immediately leave their hearts and find another place.
There is no other power center in Yangzhou City, and the Salt Transportation Department can almost stand on its own side with the local government office. It is no exaggeration to say that if there were no such outliers as the superintendent and Li You, who are rare in a hundred years, the two Huai Salt Transportation Divisions would almost be the emperors of Yangzhou and Huai'an.
Luo Shenzheng and Li Tongzhi can drive a hundred miles to worship the pier, others will not laugh at it, but the salt transport Si Ding Yun's envoy will never lose his value so much, if it is really like this, it is estimated that he will laugh off others' big teeth after it is spread out.
At least in terms of the current power system, the governor still cannot directly govern the salt transportation department that is only responsible to the household department, and the court does not have this authorization, so the salt transportation department, which has huge financial resources and salt merchant power, has the potential to confront the governor's yamen.
Luo participates in politics or Li Tongzhi? This choice is not easy to do, it is a very critical step, especially need to be cautious, Yang Futai sighed slightly. If this step is in the wrong direction, I am afraid that I will make a mistake to the end.
Both of them have taken a step forward in the chess game and have chosen to take refuge in him, and now it is his turn to play chess, and he must make a choice, who is most important? Ask for a commuter pass! Tomorrow morning, there will be more! If the code word situation is not good tomorrow morning, it is estimated that it will be time off in the afternoon.
