Chapter 190 Between the position of governor of Sichuan and Ling Yan's marriage, you can only choose one
Since Chongzhen could understand Chen Xinjia's suggestion at once, he immediately thought to himself:
"When Shen Shuren first entered the official career, the biggest benefactor was the late Yang Ge Lao, if Yang Ge Lao was still alive, of course, he could coordinate the overall situation in the south and let Shen Shuren obey his orders. But now, who is the boss and benefactor of the Shen Shuren, can you make sure that you can suppress him?"
Faced with Chongzhen's question, Chen Xinjia did not answer for a while, and did not dare to answer this question directly.
It's not that he can't answer, but he's also afraid that Chongzhen will suspect that he has accepted other people's benefits.
After all, he came up with this idea, and if he still proposed the candidate, it would be equivalent to being a player and a referee again, and the fairness was questionable.
However, Zhou Yanru next to him did not have this problem, he saw that Chongzhen intended to implement this plan, and immediately selected the people in his head. In addition, he was in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and he knew everything about personnel, so he quickly thought of how to make suggestions.
I only heard Zhou Yanru take the initiative to play: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the benefactors who are still alive in the world and who are on the career of Shen Shuren are nothing more than two people, one is Shi Kefa, and the other is Fang Kongzhi.
Shi Kefa once helped the Shen family at the beginning of Shen Shuren's early years and when he helped Cao Yun. But now Shi Kefa is the governor of Caoyun, and His Majesty still intends to let him take charge of the Nanjing Military Department.
If he went to Sichuan to be the governor, he would be demoted. Even if he is the governor of Sichuan, it can only be regarded as a flat tone, and the Shen family and the Shi family may not be grateful for it.
And Fang Kongzhi was convicted four months ago because Zhang Xianzhong committed Huguang, broke Changsha and Hengzhou, and trapped the feudal domains. Later, Yin Xianmin, the chief soldier of Changsha, and He Yide, the chief soldier of Hengzhou, were punished for the crime of defecting to the enemy without a fight, and Fang Kongzhi's grievances have been cleared.
It's just that his original post as governor of Huguang has been taken over by Shen Shuren, and the governors of the other provinces have not been vacant for the time being, and there is no other suitable position to be placed, so Fang Kongzhi has been staying in Beijing to wait for his post.
If His Majesty is willing to grant Fang Kongzhi the official to reinstate the governor and transfer him to Sichuan, then Fang Kongzhi will definitely be grateful to the grace of heaven and swear to die and be ashamed. In the years when Shen Shuren was the prefect of Huangzhou and Huguang was preparing for military affairs, Fang Kongzhi had always been the governor of Huguang and the boss of Shen Shuren.
In this way, you can have the best of both worlds, and you can also use other methods to fully reward Shen Shuren for his merits without giving him a promotion, and express the court's trust in him."
After Chongzhen heard this, Tong Kong scaled up slightly, and muttered to himself, "Fang Kongzhi...... When he was in Huguang, he was diligent most of the time, and it was indeed not his fault that he was attacked by Zhang Xianzhong in the end...... But what is his relationship with the Shen Shuren?"
Zhou Yanru thought for a while, and said: "In addition to the fact that Shen Shuren has been a subordinate of Fang Kongzhi for two and a half years, Fang Yizhi, the eldest son of Shen Shuren and Fang Kongzhi, is the same year that Chongzhen will test the palace in the thirteenth year, and Fang Yizhi is now the prefect of Wuchang, and he was also recommended by Shen Shuren, so they can be regarded as world friends in the same year."
When Chongzhen heard this, he felt that everything was normal, it can be seen that the friendship between the Fang family and the Shen family was a matter of the last three years, and it was created by Shen Shuren himself after he joined the company, and there was no long-term relationship.
….
But after all, Chongzhen is also worried that the two families are too close, and in the future, they will be ironclad, then the south will be equivalent to crossing Jingyi, which is the sphere of influence of the Shen Shuren, as the emperor, the situation is now so critical, Chongzhen can't be completely unwary of secession and tailing.
After thinking about it, he said with difficulty: "What Zhou Aiqing said is very reasonable, but I still have to think about the specific candidates, you can step back and deal with other government affairs first, and after lunch, I will decide." By the way, I will also ask the supervisor of Shang Shan to give food to Erqing in a while."
Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia hurriedly retired, leaving Chongzhen alone to be quiet.
After watching the foreign courtiers leave, Chongzhen thought for a while and instructed Wang Chengen: "Go, find Luo Yangxing."
Luo Yangxing is the commander of the Jinyi Guard under Chongzhen, and it is the end of November of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and the power of the Jinyi Guard is also weakened.
Chongzhen didn't have much money to support Jinyiwei's work at all, but fortunately, Jinyiwei was originally a fox and a fake tiger, and he could also rely on all kinds of private work and extortion to raise funds, and his life was also nourishing.
It's just that the ability to work is weakened and corrupted, and most of the mind is spent on drilling camps to make money.
After a while, Luo Yangxing was brought by Wang Chengen, and Chongzhen didn't talk nonsense with him, so he asked directly:
"Shen Shu and Fang Kongzhi, apart from Shen Shu and Fang Yizhi in the same year, who once recommended him as the prefect of Wuchang, are there any other friendships that are not known to outsiders?"
Before Luo Yangxing came, he had a general understanding of the cause and effect, and he also heard from Wang Chengen that Chongzhen had summoned Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia to talk about something before, so he was prepared.
At this moment, he was very capable and discussed: "Your Majesty, according to the investigation of the ministers, in addition to being a subordinate of the Fang family, protected by Fang Kongzhi, and being the same year as Fang Yizhi, Shen Shuren also has one or two layers of friendship.
Fang Kongzhi's second daughter, Fang Ziling, once seemed to have written some record books with a folk woman named Bian Yujing, the intention should be to hit the morale of the army and fabricate Li Zicheng's dirty and ugly deeds, but most of the references in these record books are the views of Shen Shuren's "Theory of Thieves" and "Theory of Thieves Continuation", and the interpretation is quite profound.
Chen has no evidence to prove that these things were instructed by Shen Shuren, but Chen knows that the folk woman named Bian Yujing and one of Shen Shuren's concubines, Li Xiangjun, used to be sisters, and they were both born in Nanjing Fengyue Field. In this way, there are inextricably linked relationships.
In addition, this Fang Ziling, when his father Fang Kongzhi was wronged and his brother Fang Yizhi couldn't get out of the important military logistics of Huguang, he went to Beijing instead of his brother to avenge his father's grievances.
As far as the minister knows, before and after avenging Fang Kongzhi's grievances, Shen Shuren also made a lot of contributions, and there are various signs that Fang Kongzhi seems to be interested in marrying the Shen family, perhaps because he is afraid that His Majesty will feel that the local governor will accept private friendships, so he has not made any moves for the time being. However, Fang Ziling is seventeen years old, and he has not yet talked about marrying, which is also very suspicious. Shen Shuren is twenty-two years old and unmarried, and only has some beautiful concubines, which are also suspicious."
Luo Yangxing is worthy of being the commander of Jinyiwei, drawing inferences from one another, Chongzhen asked a little, and he said a lot of semi-public information.
In fact, there is no need to go deep into these things, as long as you pay attention to observation and collection, and analyze intelligence, you can see it.
….
"It turned out that it was not only the friendship between superiors and subordinates and the same year, but also the friendship of trying to marry...... It is not surprising that Shen Shuren is so willing to contribute to the Fang family. The Fang family's power has risen, isn't it equivalent to indirectly making Shen Shuren's own power rise......
This is not what Chongzhen wants to see. What he hopes is that the rewards and punishments will be clear, so that Shen Shuren will appreciate and continue to work hard, but he can't let the south be monolithic.
However, perhaps because there has been a lot of news recently, after Chongzhen meditated for a while, jumped out of the limitations of the Fang family's Shen family, and after taking a comprehensive look, Chongzhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
He secretly thought happily: "Since Shen Shuren may have the idea of marrying the Fang family, so helping the Fang family is helping him, and rewarding the Fang family is also equivalent to rewarding him, then let Fang Kongzhi go to Sichuan first, and wait for Shen Shuren to understand the feelings, and then give him and Uncle Luwang's cousin a marriage!"
First give Shen Shuren the surname, promotion, and compound Kong Zhi positions, and settle the matter of the promotion, so stop it. And then give the marriage to the lord of the Lu Wangfu! The two waves are disposed of separately, and even the middle can be separated by ten days and half a month, or even a little longer, it doesn't matter, one yard is one yard!"
Waiting for Fang Kongzhi to take office, and then preventing the Fang family and Shen Shuren from marrying, wouldn't it be possible to better check and balance the place.
Chongzhen was moved by his clever plan.
He was in a good mood, rested for a while, passed lunch, and after eating, he immediately summoned Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia as promised and announced his decision.
"Two Aiqing, are you still used to eating food in the food supervisor?"
Of course, Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia hurriedly thanked him: "Your Majesty gave you a banquet, and the ministers feel honored."
Chongzhen: "I've already thought about it, the matter of the governor of Sichuan is Fang Kongzhi. Shen Shuren's national surname and title are also the same as the previous covenant. How can I lose my trust? However, the request of the Lu Wangfu has nothing to do with this matter, and can be postponed, so be it."
Zhou Yanru is also a human spirit, although Chongzhen did not say the reason, he immediately reversed it
The speculation came out, and he hurriedly received the order.
……
In the evening of the same day, after the six departments were dispersed, Zhou Yanru should have returned to the house, but he instructed the sedan chair man to carry him to the Shen family's mansion in the capital, and he wanted to see Fang Kongzhi in person.
Fang Kongzhi and Fang Ziling, these three months in the capital, living in the courtyard left by the Shen family, anyway, the Shen family is rich, all the top big cities have real estate, and they are all quite luxurious, and they are empty there.
Zhou Yanru obviously smelled that the situation in the capital was getting more and more difficult, and he also wanted to make more good connections for himself and attract more strong local governors. So much so that he was a first assistant, and he personally came to the door to give Fang Kongzhi a governor to report the good news.
Shoufu traveled, naturally there was momentum, Zhou Yanru's sedan chair had not yet arrived at the door, the father and daughter of the Fang family had already been informed by the next person, and hurriedly went to the gate to greet them.
Zhou Yanru Shi Ran got out of the sedan chair, and did not put up a fight with Fang Kongzhi, but pulled Fang Kongzhi's arm very kindly, and entered side by side: "Brother Fang Xian, Brother Foolish, this is good news for you."
Fang Kongzhi looked respectful: "There is Lao Zhouge's old mediation, I don't know if it is ......."
Zhou Yanru smiled and said nothing, and when they walked into the Hanging Flower Gate and passed the first two courtyards, there were no outsiders on the left and right, and then he said neatly:
….
"Sichuan is making trouble with Zhang Xianzhong again, and Your Majesty will soon issue an order to remove Shao Jiechun from his position, reinstate him from the rank of virtuous officer, and transfer him to the governor of Sichuan. The virtuous brother has been idle for several months, and he has finally come out of it."
Fang Kongzhi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your good offices. After the subordinate officer arrives in office, he will do his best to live up to the recommendation of the elders."
Fang Ziling was on the side, and he also gave Zhou Yanru a big gift and thanked Uncle Zhou for his great kindness.
But Zhou Yanru gently flicked his sleeves, posing as if it was none of his business and he was also helpless, and said well:
"However, in the autumn of this national disaster, Your Majesty is also worried about the stability of remote places—Brother Fang Xian, tell me the truth, Brother Fool, did you originally have the idea of marrying the Shen family?"

Fang Kongzhi was not very nervous when he heard this. When Fang Ziling heard this, he felt a pang in his heart, and he had an ominous premonition.
Fang Kongzhi glanced at his daughter before admitting in a low voice, "I did have a consultation with the Shen family...... But the road has not been cleared."
Zhou Yanru: "Then let's take this thought first. The friendship of the local governor is a taboo at this time of war. Foolish brother advises you, don't mention this matter recently, and don't mention it for the time being after taking office, and wait and see what happens, so as not to be overwhelmed by the water when the time comes, but it will hurt the faces of both parties."
Fang Kongzhi was shocked: "What is the explanation?"
Zhou Yanru: "When Shen Shuren won a great victory in Chen County, he happened to lead his troops to relieve the siege of Shangqiu and save the kings of Luwangfu and other kings.
You have to use the power of Shen Shuren to resettle Sichuan, but you still can't get too close after the matter is completed - let's be honest, you can only choose one for the position of governor and the marriage of Ling Yan. This is also for the sake of mutual trust between the monarch and the minister, and the stability of the world, and the virtuous brother should put the overall situation first."
The surname of the country is stealing.
