Chapter 375: Left and Right Political Envoys
Where there are people, there is struggle, and there are two political envoys in this province, so naturally they cannot live in peace, and there are many open and secret fights. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This just happened to follow the thoughts of the above, for those in power, a harmonious local government is too threatening, and it is easy to disobey the orders from above. Only when there are internal contradictions, can power be checked and balanced, and it is convenient for the emperor to control.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, this kind of checks and balances and struggles were everywhere. The lower officials can check and balance the upper officials, the eunuchs can check and balance the civil officials, the civil officials can check and balance the military officials, and the eunuchs can check and balance each other. For example, when the country was founded, Taizu set up Jinyiwei to supervise civil officials, and later he was not at ease with Jinyiwei, so he set up the East Factory to check and balance Jinyiwei. Later, the East Factory had too much power, and the West Factory was established, and then the East Factory was supervised. Although the checks and balances at this level have strengthened the imperial power, it has also led to overly bloated institutions, many overlapping powers and responsibilities, and extremely inefficient.
These left and right political envoys are at the same level, and they are nominally comparable, and the two sides will certainly not be able to get along. So, there are struggles and factions. The Lin family got closer to the political envoy Zuobu, and this time the political envoy Zuobu came to the door, which also made the relationship between the two sides a little closer.
Fang Hong stood at the back of the crowd, looking at Zuo Bu's political envoy from a distance, this person was not tall, even a little short and fat, wearing a satin dress, with a beard under his chin, he didn't look very inconspicuous, but in the crowd, you would definitely notice him at first sight.
What a person's status is will determine his bearing. Officials of this level, who hug each other on weekdays, naturally develop a posture of commanding and commanding.
And Fang Hong saw more, on the body of this political envoy, a trace of green and yellow qi hung down, protecting him. Qingqi is a symbol of the first and third grades, although the political envoy is also from the second grade, but the luck is not pure, still mixed with a large amount of yellow gas.
This is due to the officialdom structure of the Ming Dynasty, although the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are higher than the military attachés, but there are still three, six, nine and other divisions within the civil officials. Like the level of political envoys, the status of those who are in charge of the government is definitely lower than that of officials at the same level in the capital, and even inferior to officials with a slightly lower rank.
However, even if this is the case, the luck contained in this person is enough to make people frightened. Fang Hong has only seen such a weather in Xu Kuibi's father and son in his life.
"These are your Lin family's unicorns. After greeting Lin Xianyue and the others a few times, the political envoy Zuo Bu saw the juniors of the Lin family. His gaze swept over everyone, and finally lingered on Fang Hong for a moment.
He felt that this son was a little different from the rest of the people, but he didn't care too much, just a junior, no matter how good he was, he couldn't get into his eyes.
"There is calamity in him. Fang Hong also glanced at Zuo Bu's political envoy, and found that above the other party's head, there was a layer of black qi tumbling, and there was a faint roaring sound, which was clearly the power of the calamity.
This discovery made Fang Hong's brows furrow slightly. Now that this Zuobu political envoy and the Lin family are getting closer and closer, if this person has an accident in the Lin Mansion, not only will he lose an ally, but he is afraid that the family will be implicated because of this.
"Your Excellency has arrived. Just as the political envoy Zuobu was about to enter, the door outside sang again, and this sound made everyone who had been sitting down stand up again.
The right political envoy is here? For those who don't know what's going on, they will only think that the Lin family is powerful and extremely prosperous, and they can even invite two political envoys.
But this matter is not good news for the people of the Lin family. Especially Lin Xianhai, his face was a little stiff. "Why did the envoy come? Why did he come?"
The Lin family is closer to the political envoy of Zuobu, this is a well-known thing, and the Lin family is also a faction of the political envoy of Zuobu, but this political envoy of the right cloth is a little intriguing.
"Lord Xiao, what a coincidence. The eyes of the political envoy of Zuo Bu narrowed slightly, and his eyes swept over the bodies of the three brothers of the Lin family imperceptibly, and then he said to the political envoy of Youbu very politely.
The most taboo in this officialdom is the two ends of the first rat, and you can only develop if you stand in the team. Otherwise, it will only become the public enemy of everyone. The Lin family had already fallen to themselves, but they were entangled with the right political envoy, which made the left political envoy feel that he had been betrayed.
Of course, this may also be a divisive tactic on the part of the right-hand political envoys. Everyone is mixed with officialdom, and they still have this brain, and they didn't kill them all.
"Lord Feng, it's not a coincidence at all, I also came after receiving an invitation. The right political envoy waved a big red gilded invitation in his hand, and his face was smiling.
"The Lin family has posted a lot of posts. The corners of Zuo Buzheng's mouth curled even more, and although his tone was serious, it always gave people a sense of ridicule.
Lin Xianhai opened his mouth, but did not speak after all. The post in the hands of the political envoy is true, and their Lin family did send it to him. But this is at most a polite nature, and I didn't expect the other party to really come.
Because everyone is an official in the same place, and it has not reached the point of tearing their faces in person, although there may be a tragic fight behind their backs, but the surface work still has to be done.
"Master Feng, let's go in and have a drink together, and visit Old Man Lin by the way. The right envoy walked to the door and said to the left envoy.
"Okay. Although Zuo Bu was a little angry in his heart, he still had to smile on his face, pretending that nothing had happened.
The two political envoys walked through the courtyard together, and there were people greeting them along the way. If the status is enough, go forward and salute, and if the status is not enough, you can only watch from afar.
"The Lin family's power, I'm afraid it's really like a brocade of flowers, and the entire Taiyuan City will have to snort in the future. A businessman looked at such a scene and couldn't help but admire.
"Hehe, even if the Lin family is not in trouble this time, even if it is lucky, do they expect to go further?" There are also some clear-eyed people, who saw the two political envoys coming at the same time, and their eyes were thoughtful.
"The old man has seen two adults. Lin Jingyuan hurriedly walked out of the house, holding a wooden staff in his hand, and said to the two of them with a slight bow. He had already resigned as an official of the Inspectorate a few days ago, and now he is a white body, so naturally he doesn't need to be called a subordinate official.
"You are really polite, in terms of qualifications, you are our senior. The political envoy of Youbu hurriedly gave up a position, unwilling to accept Lin Jingyuan's salute.
On the other side, the left political envoy is a little waxy, and the right political envoy is unwilling to accept this gift, if he accepts it, isn't it just a slap in the face of the old man, and he has ruined the relationship with the Lin family, and this reputation is not good. But if he doesn't accept it, then there is a suspicion of following the trend, he and the right political envoy have never dealt with each other, if he does this, he feels that he can't hang his face.
After such a hesitation, there was no room for further turnaround. Lin Jingyuan didn't seem to see all this, and invited the two of them to sit down with a smile.
