Chapter 80: The Functions of the Shuntian Mansion

"My lord, the little one thinks that these people are recruiting adults...... Old man Fei and the others didn't stay in Yuheng's mansion for long, and they left after chatting for a long time. As soon as they left, Yu Heng recruited Xing Ming and his other Qian Liang master: Zhao Qian (Zhao Qian?) talked about the process of his meeting with Old Man Fei. After speaking, the three of them all pondered for a while, and finally, Xing Ming said first.

"What do you mean by that?"

"My lord, you don't go out often, speaking of which, the market in Beijing City does seem to be a bit messy, and it's time to tidy it up." Xing Ming said.

"What's in this? It used to be like this, and it wasn't my job? What I want to ask is, what are the three Ferdinand who came to me to say this? Yu Heng said with some dissatisfaction.

"My lord, there is some truth in Lao Xing's words, why don't you listen to him?" Zhao Qian thought for a while and said.

"Okay, okay, what ......do you say" Yu Heng saw that Zhao Qian also somewhat agreed with Xing Ming's statement, and he couldn't think of anything for a while, so he had to listen to Xing Ming's statement.

"My lord, we can first look at the intentions of these three people...... The three of Ferdinand, all of whom are celebrities in front of the current emperor, have great power in Manchuria, do they need to come to your troubles? Xing Ming didn't say what he thought directly, but asked Yu Heng.

"This ...... There really isn't a need for that. It's just that...... They don't need to trouble me, and they don't need to come and give me advice, right? As the saying goes: nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief......" Yu Heng said. Officialdom is mixed, the most particular thing is to be careful, Mingzhu and Suo Etu are so powerful, isn't it accidentally over?

"My lord, have you ever offended them?" Xing Ming asked again.

"Not really. Although these three people and I don't have friendship, they don't have a bad feeling, and they just nod their heads. Yu Heng replied.

"And what about these three people?"

"Hmm...... Although he is a little exquisite, he acts decisively. Yu Heng thought about it for a long time and came to such a conclusion.

"Do they have good friends in the court or in the locality?" Xing Ming asked again.

"I don't know. However, the wives of Yu Zhong and Ma De both have the title of Lord of Doro, and have a sisterhood with the imperial concubine Tushetu, and they have also accompanied the emperor to the west on the expedition to Geerdan, and their status in front of the monarch is not low...... Yu and Ma also have military merits, and they transported grain and grass to the army in time, which is a great achievement, otherwise, even if the emperor can fight Ying Geerdan, I am afraid that he will not be able to get out of the desert. It's just that they haven't been to any other places except for this trip, and I think there shouldn't be any special friends with them, but I heard that they have a good relationship with Prince Gong. Yu Heng whispered.

"That's it!" Xing Ming's hand was a little heavier in the air, and said with a smile: "The little one can conclude that these three people are not here to trouble the adults, and there are only two possibilities for them to come: first, it is indeed as they themselves said, go to our Shuntian Mansion and come to see the old people; Second, give advice to adults. ”

"Give me a tip? Why did they give me advice? "Yu Heng is most concerned about the motives of the three old men.

"My lord, if the villain is not mistaken, this Ferdinand and the three want to marry adults." Zhao Qian said suddenly.

"Marry me?" What do I have to knot? Yu Heng didn't understand at all.

……

"That's right, it's to marry Yuheng!" Old man Fei's hand dotted in the air again and again, and he said heavily.

"What is there to knot this Yuheng? He doesn't have a lot of power, he doesn't have a high position, to be honest, even if he is a local snake, he is just a small cauliflower snake, is it necessary to befriend? He used to be with Suo Etu's ......," Yu Zhong asked.

"yes. Seriously, if it weren't for me and Brother Yu to transport the grain and grass in time, Suo Etu probably wouldn't have been able to fall down, but would have become an important minister of the auxiliary state. Yu Heng lost the backstage, how could he still be good friends with us? Ma De also nodded.

"You guys......" For the two guys around him who don't like to use their brains, Old Man Fei really hates iron and steel, but no matter how much he hates, he has to refine, so he then asked: "Xiaoma, what do you think Yu Heng can do?" ”

"He? An official like him in Beijing is estimated to be able to smash five or six of his bricks down, where can he do anything? ”

"Stupid! Two stupid people! "Old man Fei sent a brain crash by himself, Huo Dao.

"Don't be angry, Fei Lao, let's think again, think again......" Seeing that the old man didn't look like a wig, Yu Zhong and Ma De didn't dare to deal with it casually, and hurriedly pleaded.

"Then think about it." Old man Fei said angrily.

"Okay, we want to ......" Yu Zhong and Ma De distanced themselves from Old Man Fei for a while, and said with a smile.

……

"This, Yu Heng can inquire about the news of the imperial court......" After thinking for a while, Yu Zhong first said to Old Man Fei, but, as soon as he finished speaking, he took two steps away from Old Man Fei.

"He can also spread rumors." Ma De didn't dare to approach Old Man Fei, but said from a distance.

“……”

"What? That's it? Seeing that the two of them were gone, Old Man Fei asked unhappily.

"Now that comes to mind, we can continue to work on it......," Mader said with a "hehe" laugh.

"That's it, you two boys...... I don't pay attention to things all the time. Old man Fei shook his head and taught the two of them: "You have to understand a truth, that is: it is not possible to engage in 'soldiers to block, water to cover' everything, you must 'plan and then act'." Otherwise, if there are too many soldiers and the water is too fierce to exceed your ability, will you still be able to block and cover up? …… At that time, it was too late for you to regret it. ”

"Fei Lao, we were wrong." Seeing that Old Man Fei said sincerely, Ma De said modestly, and Yu Zhong also changed his serious face.

"If only you understood that. Since we want to make some achievements, we can't make mistakes, otherwise, maybe there will be some chain reaction, and the consequences are unpredictable. Old man Fei said.

"Then Fei Lao, why do you want to befriend Yuheng?" Yu Zhong asked about business.

"Hmph. Yu Heng is in charge of Shuntian Mansion, and it is indeed like you said, it is okay to inquire about the news and spread rumors, but he also has an important role that many people do not know. ”

“…… What does it do? ”

"Feedback!"

"Feedback?"

"That's right. …… Shuntianfu is in charge of the whole of Beijing. Although the authority overlaps with many yamen, but, on the other hand, in Beijing, it has almost the same authority as the combination of many powers of the Yamen, such as the Yushitai, the Yamen of the Infantry Army, and the Admiral's Mansion of the Nine Gates. Moreover, Suncheonfu is also qualified to undertake complaints from all over the country, which is equivalent to a small criminal department. Think about it, how much power does this have? ”

“……?!!!” Yu Zhong and Ma De glanced at each other, and they were both shocked. Yes, who would have thought that the scope of authority of Shuntianfu would be so large? How far does its tentacles have to stretch out?

"Although it is difficult for Shuntianfu to make final decisions on many matters due to its low class, Suncheonfu Yin can directly go to the palace to face the monarch. Don't forget, the Shuntian Mansion is in charge of Beijing's public security and government affairs, and this government affairs is also connected to the six ministries and the upper study. That is to say, if the official who sits on the seat of Yin in the Shuntian Mansion is hard enough, he has the ability to pass the emperor's resolutions, influence, change, and even comprehensively adopt the decisions of many yamen. With the power of one position, it is not considered to be overstepping one's authority to be able to meddle in the affairs of many central departments at the same time...... Do you still dare to underestimate this position? ”

"Yaya, no wonder the mayors of Beijing are all members of the Politburo Standing Committee, and there is a reason for it." Mader was stammered.

"That feedback from Mr. Fei, you said......" Yu Zhong seemed to think of something.

"That's right, feedback! Shuntianfu is in the lower echelons, and as long as you inquire carefully, it knows more and more about the things circulating in Beijing and among the people than the emperor and the officials of the six ministries, and it can give feedback on the news that is favorable to certain people, and it can also give feedback on the unfavorable news...... Sometimes, a folk fact can change a lot of things. The will of the people is back, and for a monarch who has made a difference, it cannot be ignored. Moreover, if Yuheng also follows our train of thought and makes something in Beijing, so that Kangxi can see real results, wouldn't it be more beneficial for us to do so in the future? ”

"Fei Lao, what do you mean ......"

"I mean, when necessary, Yu Heng can do us a great favor with just one word; Moreover, he can also provide us with timely news from the court. ”

"That's why, Fei Lao, you just put so many methods and measures in front of him, and gave him some political achievements around the corner. It's just, Fei Lao, does Yu Heng understand this? If he treats kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, what can he do? We're fools for nothing. Mader worried.

"Probably not. Although Yu Heng is not tactful, he is not a fool. What's more, many of the things we talked about were not difficult for him to do. With his intellect, he should be able to tell if it's worth doing. Old man Fei said.

"I'm afraid he's doing something bad!" Yu Zhong's confidence in Yuheng is insufficient.

"Bad? No, isn't there still us? Even if we leave, we can leave someone to watch him do these things......" Old man Fei's words made Yu Zhong and Ma De tremble, what did this old man's words mean? Do you want to leave Mo Jing and Luo Xin behind?

"Then what if he is done well and is promoted and transferred?" Marder thought of another possibility.

"That's not bad either. Whether Yu Heng is promoted or transferred, when the time comes, there will be an additional person in the court who has a good impression of us, he is now a third grade, and he is a big man everywhere. Even if he is too stupid and does things badly, demotes or dismisses, it will not implicate us, that is, no matter what, we will not have anything to lose......"

"These people are not so easy to grasp......" Yu Zhong spoke a little colder because he couldn't drink water in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

"If you can't even grasp Yuheng, then let's be honest in the future......" Old man Fei snorted lightly.

"That's just as well. However, Fei Lao ...... "Yu Zhong wanted to speak and stopped."

"How?"

"You're really...... Old treacherous and slippery! ”
