Seven hundred and twentieth chapters bright rise and dark fall
After hearing Chen Zilong's words, Ma Mingyuan was completely confused. He stood outside the hall and scolded Zhang Jiayu for being shameless and vulgar.
"Among people, my elder brother will never say those words. These are all false accusations from Zhang Jiayu and the others!"
Chen Zilong also looked helpless: "Yuan Fu, Xiaguan has been with his elder brother for more than 20 years. Of course, he knows who his elder brother is, but this matter is not our final say, it is all within the emperor's thoughts!"
Ma Mingyuan calmed down at this time, and thought about it and said, "Among people, Zhang Jiayu suddenly changed his mind, do you think there is any reason?" Ma Mingyuan had already agreed to the Guangdong faction yesterday. Now the Guangdong faction suddenly rebels and attacks his elder brother. There must be some reason.
"Yuan Fu, I just saw Zhang Jiayu and Tong Yangjia flirting in the court. Did they reach a contract?"
Ma Mingyuan thought it was almost the same. His brothers had many enemies in the court, but only Tong Yangjia could do this trick of joking. After all, Tong Yangjia was the one who took over the Ma brothers.
"After a person, His Majesty will study the candidates for local governors. Look at my husband's eyes, you must not let the villain Zhang Jiayu and Tong Yangjia get the benefits!"
Chen Zilong nodded and agreed. At this time, the eunuch in the hall came out to find the two of them. The rest time had come. His Majesty began to summon the ministers to continue the matter.
The eunuch in the hall moved all the seats and benches out, and all the ministers were arranged in squads. Zhu Hongsan said: "Let's discuss the candidates for local governors. Now there are vacancies of governors from Liangjiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang. There are also vacancies of governors, governors and inspectors from several provinces. Let's see what good candidates are there!"
As soon as Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, Tong Yangjia stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Zhang Jiayu as the governor of Liangjiang! Zhang Jiayu resisted the Qing Dynasty in Jiujiang and made countless great contributions, and should be appropriately praised!"
Tong Yangjia said this and Ma Mingyuan immediately knew that it was these two guys who joined forces to coax his elder brother Ma Jiyuan. Otherwise, how could he speak for Zhang Jiayu if Tong Yangjia's temper is not good?
I opposed it if the enemy agreed. Ma Mingyuan was deeply aware of the experience of political struggles and stood up calmly and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for Zhang Jiayu to be the governor of Liangjiang!"
Zhang Jiayu was very happy to hear Tong Yangjia recommending him. The governor of Liangjiang was in charge of Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, which was the fat and short of the crotch of the fart oil. But he didn't know how long it took Ma Mingyuan to stand up and oppose him. Zhang Jiayu angrily scolded Ma Mingyuan for being unmoral. If he hadn't been the prime minister, he would not have been able to act like this. How could Ma Mingyuan turn his hand over and deal with him?
Tong Yangjia frowned and asked, "Sir Ma, Zhang Jiayu has enough experience, why can't he be a Liangjiang?"
"Haha, Lord Tong, Zhang Jiayu fought to the death with the Qing Dynasty in Jiujiang. It was because of his mistake in his position as governor of Jiangxi that he was dismissed from office and went to Jiujiang. Although he made many contributions in Jiujiang, his merits and demerits have been offset! I think Zhang Jiayu should be promoted to the governor!"
When Tong Yangjia heard this, he cursed in his heart, "You Ma Mingyuan is really shameless." Zhang Jiayu was originally a governor. Although he was dismissed, the second-rank official position of the second-rank imperial censor is still there. After doing this, you were demoted to a third-rank imperial envoy.
The rules of the officialdom in the Ming Dynasty were that the governor belonged to the nature of a central censor, so when he went down to the local government, he held a deputy ministerial position in the central government. However, the governor was different. The governor, the governor, the governor, and the provincial officials appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang at that time were absolutely local food coupons. When Zhang Jiayu became the governor, he had to hand over the part-time job of the governor, and his rank was reduced by one level.
The other ministers in the court were very impressed by Ma Mingyuan's words. Ma Mingyuan is not a loss because he is old in the officialdom, and his move is very beautiful when he is promoted and secretly.
Zhu Hongsan only cared about how the three governors arranged, the governor and governor Zhu Hongsan didn't care about these small officials, and they were all drafted by the cabinet and approved by the emperor. So today Zhu Hongsan didn't want to care about Ma Mingyuan's attack on Zhang Jiayu. After all, Zhang Jiayu's party was too popular in the morning and offended too many people.
"Then who is the second brother of the Governor of Liangjiang going to recommend?"
"Your Majesty, I recommend Jiangsu Governor Zhang Guowei as the governor! Your Majesty is about to enter the Northern Expedition, and Liangjiang is the main battlefield and logistics base, so you must take over with a mature and politician. Zhang Guowei is the best candidate for political affairs!" With the fall of Ma Jiyuan, his backstage boss in the second year of the Tianqi reunion in the court. After all, Ma Mingyuan is Ma Jiyuan's younger brother and is naturally close to these people, so Ma Mingyuan decided to win over these people for his own use.
Zhu Hongsan nodded. Zhang Guowei was the governor of the Ten Prefectures of Jiangnan in Hongguang Dynasty. He had enough abilities and qualifications, so he was the one.
"Okay! I'm sure this candidate! How will Zhang Jiayu arrange it?"
"Your Majesty, Zhang Jiayu is young and capable, and he happens to serve as the governor of Henan. I believe that the ability of Zhang Jiayu can definitely manage this important place in the Central Plains!"
When Zhang Jiayu heard that he wanted to go to Henan or become a governor, he really wanted to die. Henan was of course a good place in peacetime, with a land of Zhongzhou and a population of ten million. But now the entire Henan has been harmed by bandits for more than ten years, and the Qing Dynasty and the Ming army were fighting this tug-of-war, there were less than 500,000 people left in the entire Henan Province. Except for Kaifeng and Luoyang, other small prefectures and counties were like ghosts. At the same time, the more important thing is that Henan is still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty. How do you let Zhang Jiayu take office?
Zhu Hongsan only cared about macroscopy, but he didn't care about the small officials like the governor, and nodded and said, "Okay, it's the right report! What are the candidates for the next Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang!"
At this time, Tong Yangjia said again: "Your Majesty, I recommend Fujian Governor Yuan Pengnian to take over as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang!" Yuan Pengnian is Tong Yangjia's man, so of course he has to plan for his own people at critical moments.
But Ma Mingyuan opposed it again: "Your Majesty, I recommend Zhejiang Governor Yu Shilong. After all, Zhejiang is a major province with a tax levy and a much higher status than Fujian!"
"Your Majesty, there is Zheng Chenggong, who is entrenched in Taiwan opposite Fujian. Yuan Pengnian has been in Fujian for many years and is very familiar with Zheng Chenggong, so I think it is appropriate for Yuan Pengnian to take over as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang!"
When Ma Mingyuan heard this, he was moved, how could he forget Zheng Chenggong? Zheng Chenggong is far less powerful than in history. He fled Kinmen with more than 200,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 people and has been in Taiwan for four years. In recent years, under the attack of Li Zhi, the former governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, his life has become increasingly difficult.
Zhu Hongsan nodded when he heard Tong Yangjia say this and said, "Okay, let Yuan Pengnian be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang!"
Tong Yangjia was happy to see that he had won the city back and continued to say: "I recommend Guangdong Governor Lu Shiyuan to take over the position of governor!"
"Your Majesty, I recommend Zhejiang Governor Yu Shilong to take over as the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Yu Shilong has served as the governor of Guangdong and is very familiar with the situation in Guangdong. I think he is competent!"
Yu Shilong was good, and just gave Tong Yangjia face. Zhu Hongsan thought about it and agreed to Yu Shilong selected by Ma Mingyuan.
Three officials from the border were finished, and there were still several provincial governors left. Tong Yangjia and Ma Mingyuan quarreled again. At this time, the Donglin Party also joined the battle group under the leadership of Jiang Yueguang. In the end, the five provincial governors Ma Mingyuan got two, Tong Yangjia got one, and the Donglin Party got two. This is not that Tong Yangjia is not as good as the Donglin Party, but there is no one under Tong Yangjia's men available.
On the other hand, Ma Mingyuan and the Donglin Party are all qualified to serve as governors, let alone a governor.
Tong Yangjia held his breath and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my nephew Tong Tuchang has devoted himself to learning at home in recent years and has deeply reviewed his mistakes. Do you dare to ask Your Majesty to ask for your Majesty to regain your grace?"
When Tong Tuchang blocked the emperor's knife for the peace talks, Zhu Hongsan was also a little disgusted. Just as he was about to speak, Ma Mingyuan said from the side: "The peace talks were originally ruined by Tong Tuchang. The emperor has taken care of him before he executed Tong Tuchang. Why do you still have to come out to be an official? It's really a delusion!"
"Ma Mingyuan, why is it from your Ma family in the court? What do you answer if the emperor hasn't said anything?"
Ma Mingyuan smiled contemptuously: "Hmph! I am the chief minister and have the right to suggest. Your nephew Tong Tuchang has no fame and no military achievements. He has become a governor with the party. Such officials should have been cleaned up long ago!"
"Your Majesty, Tong Tuchang is following His Majesty in Huguang. This kind of treatment will really make the old subordinates of Huguang feel disappointed!" Tong Yangjia saw that he couldn't explain clearly with Ma Mingyuan, and spoke directly to Zhu Hongsan sitting on the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, Tong Tuchang must not be restored. He has no fame and fortune. It was fine in the extraordinary times before. Now everything in the country is on the right track. You cannot convince the public with such a villain!"
Zhu Hongsan was frustrated by the two of them, and waved his hand and said, "Okay! Don't say anything else! Tong Tuchang has been with me for so many years, and in addition, there is a lot of effort in Fujian anyway, so I decided to revive him and become a governor first!"
Tong Tuchang was a governor before he was dismissed from office. Now it is good for the emperor to give him a governor to excessively. Tong Yangjia was overjoyed and was about to ask the emperor which province he arranged for his nephew to be the governor to be the governor.
But Ma Mingyuan turned his eyes and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since Tong Tuchang has nothing to say, but I suggest Tong Tuchang go to Shaanxi to serve as the governor!"
As soon as Ma Mingyuan said this, all the ministers in the hall knew that this old guy was going to play the trick of going to the open and secretly. Tong Yangjia was even more angry when he heard that his nephew went to Shaanxi. Shaanxi! The bandits came from Shaanxi at the beginning. If Zhang Jiayu went to Henan as a dragon pond, it would be a place where there was no life.
According to the information from the Jinyiwei, only Xi'an in Shaanxi is still under the control of the Qing Dynasty. All other prefectures and counties are rioters, and people cannibalize people from time to time. It is better to be an official than to let Tong Tuchang go wherever he goes.
