Chapter 82: The Governor

At this time, Yu Province already had a governor.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was no governor in the local official system set by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. The highest administrative authority at the provincial level is the Department of Political Envoys, and the chief is called the political envoy, and there are two people, who are the left and right political envoys, both of whom are from the second rank (the left is slightly higher). During the time of Taizu, the word "governor" appeared: in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Taizu sent the prince Zhu Biao to "governor" Shaanxi. But its purpose is actually to inspect the location of the capital, which is not in line with civil affairs.

Originally, the term was similar to "hunting", just a high-sounding expression for the emperor's travels - however, the term "hunting" was super unlucky: Qin Shi Huang, who swept through the six kingdoms, looked at all directions, so he decided to "patrol the world" to show off. As a result, he was first seen by Liu Bang, who was serving in Xianyang, and ignited the restless flame of "the big husband should be like this" in his heart, and then was seen by Xiang Yu in Huiji, which stimulated the ambition of "he can take his place", and then was seen by Zhang Liang in Bolangsha, threw a big iron cone and almost stoned to death, and finally simply died halfway, surrounded by rotten fish and rotten shrimp smelling of the smell, the king of the two poles, Xianfeng, heard that the British and French forces beat Monk Greenqin into a white chicken, raised his arms and shouted, "I want to drive the expedition in person, Whoever dares to stop it is a big drop of conscience, and they are all dead, all of them are dead, they are all dead, and then they threw down the ministers and "hunted" Chengde by themselves. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, I couldn't stand it, I gritted my teeth and simply scared myself to death, and then later, the old widow Cixi heard that the Eight-Nation Coalition was coming, and she gnawed on the roasted corn cob all the way and ate a scorched black mouth like a bearded "West Hunt" Xi'an, and she didn't dare to go home for a year...... Of course, Zhu Biao's "governor" of Shaanxi chose the address of the capital for Taizu's investigation, and he was much more calm.

After that, the emperors of the Zhu family were not only worried that the left and right political envoys in various places would pull each other and make stumbling involution, but also afraid that the two guys would collude with each other to fool themselves. What to do, you have to go over and stare from time to time! But after thinking about it again, it was far less interesting to go out to inspect various places by himself than to be in the palace, so he sent the ministers. This is called "patrolling the world and pacifying the army and the people." Yu Si, the word "governor" began to evolve from a verb to a noun representing temporary dispatch: since it is a patrol inspector, it is best to send people who have no friendship, otherwise it is meaningless, so the system is "one generation after a year" - that is, every year a central investigation team is changed to inspect the provinces: even if you occasionally meet an old friend to check on you can fool the past, you will always be able to run away if you are replaced next year, right?

However, it is really fun to be in the palace. The saints of each session often clean up the maids of the Niangniang Palace, and at the same time, they also forget the various investigation teams sent out - well, win-win is to win twice and clean twice, which is called double clean. The team leaders of the governor's place are also happy - in the locality, the left and right political envoys are around him all day long, saying what they want and what they want, and when they return to Beijing, they have to be together with other Beijing officials, so they also tacitly do not mention this matter with a fiery "public heart" (really a "public" heart - Daming has no mother governor) and tacitly do not mention this matter, and borrow the donkey land under the slope to stay in the provinces.

It was Yingzong Zhu Qizhen and Daizong Zhu Qiyu who really turned the temporary task name of "governor" into an institutional permanent position, and the core was brotherhood and power struggle.

Yingzong Zhu Qizhen sent a lot of governors out to check the accounts and collect money, and then, he was also arrested in Tumubao and poured mare's milk wine all day long, and Yu Qian helped Zhu Qiyu to take the throne, which was for Daizong.

Daizong sat on his brother's chair, and the more he sat on his buttocks, the more comfortable he became, and of course he wanted to sit down forever. He also understands that if he wants to sit down forever, he has to firmly control the place, and if there are still people who miss his brother, this is a huge security hazard, and it must be eliminated! So he continued to use the knife of "Governor" left by his brother - send his own people to "Patrol" everywhere, and eliminate potential safety hazards!

However, a knife seems to be a bit insufficient: the governor is a civilian official, and there is no problem in managing the administration, but it is somewhat reluctant to meddle in the judiciary - militarily, it is not easy to reach out anyway. This is difficult for Zhu Qiyu: one knife is not enough, then another one! The name is "town guard": the governor is in charge of civil affairs, and the town guard is in charge of the military.

Grab it with both hands, both hands are very hard.

Yingzong Zhu Qizhen is really lucky. After Tumubao was captured, he was also poured mare's milk wine all day long, but he didn't expect to drink it for a year, and finally drank it as a buddy. One day, when I was lucky, I drank too much first, and with a twitch of my brain, I actually sent Zhu Qizhen back!

The state of etiquette, the emperor shepherds the world with virtue. The EX emperor returned to the dynasty, and he was the elder brother again, and the younger brother of the current emperor Zhu Qiyu personally greeted him at Dong'anmen. As soon as they met, the two brothers began to give up their seats to each other in long and short questions. Zhu Qiyu said: "Brother, you can continue to sit on this chair." Don't worry, brother, I promise not to put a time bomb underneath - don't lift the chair cushion to check, check that the inspection is not enough for me to check the eight gaya road! ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Oh, brother, how can my brother not believe you!" Don't hide it from my brother, my brother drank too much mare's milk wine, got angry, had hemorrhoids, and couldn't sit on any chairs! Good brother, can you find a place for my brother to lie down, my brother can only lie down in this life. As the saying goes, contentment is always happy, lying down wins the party. ”

Zhu Qiyu replied angrily: "Ouch, I'm going!" Brother, why don't you take care of your body so much? Who doesn't know that the mare's milk wine is too hot, come on, clean up Nangong, and let Brother I go in and lie down! In the future, brother, you will be called 'Taishanghuo', oh, this is not good, let's call it 'Taishanghuang'. ”

Zhu Qizhen was moved to tears, hugged Zhu Qiyu and began to cry: "Brother, you have an angelic heart. Brother promises, lie for a lifetime. ”

Zhu Qiyu patted his chest: "Brother, have you forgotten?" We are a state of etiquette, and we rule the world with benevolence and filial piety! That's what I'm supposed to do! Come on, cut down all the trees around Nangong, don't look back, and anyone climbs over to disturb Brother I to lie down! Oh, no, the doctors in the hospital said that having shade blocking the sun is not good for health, so I need to take more sun to supplement vitamin D......"

Zhu Qizhen sunbathed on his stomach for seven years, and shit luck came again: the eunuch Cao Jixiang who had no eggs and Shi Heng Xu Youzhen who had eggs did something more "eggless" than the vast majority of normal people with eggs: launched the "change of seizing the door" - Zhu Qizhen was restored (at this time, the word has not changed to a derogatory term), and he became the emperor again!

After sitting on the most comfortable chair in the world again, Zhu Qizhen, whose hemorrhoids were immediately healed, was full of emotion, and first demoted Zhu Qiyu to the king of the service, and then, for a month, the king lived up to expectations (sound "boom". The emperor hung up and called "Bang", the princes and princes hung up and called "Xue", the officials/scholars hung up and called "Bulu", and the leeks died and deserved it...... How? Hehe, guess what?

Daring! You guessed it!

It's been eight years since I left that chair, and the palace is full of things, and the people in the place are wrong.

The sage said, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different." It's not okay to forget the original intention, let alone a different heart!

What to do?

Easy to do—what about my sword?

Dai Zong not only shamelessly infringed on the intellectual property rights of the knife I created the "Governor", but also imitated another "Town Guard", which is worth it! Come on, melt the two knives to me, and the town patrol will be two-in-one, and give me a bigger one! The name follows the previous name, and it is also called "Governor", and the full name is "Governor Imperial History" - this justifies the administration and justice; Later, with the addition of the "Admiral Military Affairs" - the governor, he became the highest governor of a province with three powers: administrative, judicial, and military.

In terms of life, Daizong has already approved the governor to take his family to the place permanently, so this will not be changed. And one last little thing: the opening of the government and the construction of the government.

In the past, the governor and the political envoy worked together, but now the governor's yamen has been built, and he has his own exclusive office space—so far, the governor has finally become the highest provincial governor above the political envoy.

Off topic:

Digression A: Daizong Zhu Qiyu, year name Jingtai...... Did you think of something?

You guessed it again - cloisonné.

There is a metalworking technique: copper tire cloisonné enamel, which reached its peak in the Jingtai period, hence its name.

Digression B: Daming's job setting of non-stop patching.

When a province sets up political envoys from the left and right, they either quarrel with each other or collude with each other, so they make a patch: set up a governor and come over to check from time to time.

At first, the two political envoys were afraid, but then they figured it out: Sooner or later, you have to get out, right? It's best to get the corrosion together, or else I'll play the ball with you - and you'll be back next August. Even if you make a small report, as long as you serve the next inspection team well, who will the Holy One listen to? Of course, the governor understands this truth, so most of them have to get by, and there is no need to make a mortal enmity for themselves.

The imperial court found that the patches that had just been sewn had their own loopholes, so they patched and stacked patches - the responsibility for the implementation was assigned to the individual: the governor was stationed there, what went wrong the holy son of heaven is the only one who asks.

After a while, a new problem came out: since he was only in charge of his own province, he couldn't take care of the neighboring provinces! Even if there is a large-scale evil group incident like Guan Shengyun, as long as you don't make trouble under my nose, where do you want to go, I will make way for you, and send a plate to entangle......

This won't work! A game of chess in the whole country, all play like this, when the strength of the giant is insufficient, go to the junction of several provinces to hide, and when the wings are full, they come out to make a big profit, and it is the Ming who suffers! You can't be self-centered, well, I know it's all in vain, so let's just patch it up again: set up a governor - the military affairs of the four provinces A, B, C, and D! All four of you provinces have to listen to him!

With the previous experience, this new patch leaked the fastest - the one that everyone quietly poked out. What about the Governor? You're going to have to fuck off sooner or later, aren't you? It's still the old way: work without working hard to deal with the surface! The way to solve any problem in a unified way: with a smile on your face, spread your hands - adults are high! But...... It's hard to save money! The lower officials are incompetent, the heart is weak, the adults forgive the sins, and the adults are easy to go! Forgive your official duties and can't send them away!

That...... I can't find a rag for a while, and I can't make a new patch, so I give the old patch a new name. How about calling it a scripture? Well, after a few provinces! Oh my God, it's a high-end name, and it sounds great, and it might be able to scare the guys down there. Another nickname: the general system, the trilateral general system! Obedient, domineering! Why am I so talented......

Is there a fool who can be a feudal official? It has long been seen that the new bottle of old wine is changed for soup and not for medicine...... Still doesn't work!

In this way, the patches are patched all the way up, and before I have time to think about when it will be a leader, the Ming Empire will go to the head first!

Later, when I arrived in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I finally made up the last patch: the governor. Tube 1 (large) - 3 (small) provinces. Unified deployment, personal command.

Straight to the point.

Lu Shen (less than the word), the political envoy of Henan Zuobu in Kaifeng Prefecture, received an urgent report from Luoyang, which was not trivial. Because the new governor Yan Dai (Zi Zongtai) went to inspect the Guide Mansion, and the right political envoy Tang Hengyi (Zi Duanfang) returned to his hometown to worry about the system, the burden of Qianjun was all on his shoulders at once - to be exact, there are two pairs of burdens: not only to aid Luoyang, but also to stick to the provincial capital!

Although it is the provincial capital, some places in Kaifeng are really inferior to Luoyang.

For example, the city walls.

Luoyang city wall is a brick wall, Hongwu six years have been completely renovated, up to more than four zhang, the moat is more than three zhang wide, and the depth is more than six zhang. The walls of Kaifeng, on the other hand, were a foot shorter and surrounded by several rivers as moats—in terms of defensive capabilities, the naturally formed rivers were certainly not as good as the moats built specifically for the defense of the city.

However, Kaifeng also has its own advantages.
