The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 164 Powerless
Su Guan thought that he would suffer today, but he didn't expect that Zheng Qian not only did not blame him, but spoke softly, which caught him off guard.

Come here anxiously, come back in a trance.

"It's all right?" Su Guan couldn't believe it, and he couldn't be blamed for being worthless. Compared to the palace, it didn't mean that Zheng Yuncheng had more power than the palace, but that Zheng Yuncheng was his boss.

As the saying goes, it is better to manage the county magistrate now, not to mention that the chief secretary and the palace are two systems. The palace can influence the chief secretary, but it cannot control the chief secretary.

For a short while just now, Zheng Yuncheng felt as if he was in a carriage that was out of control.

First of all, he has already made up his mind, he will bite the bullet and be scolded, even if he is threatened, he will not interfere in the affairs of the palace.

Sure enough, when he was asked about the guard, he was already in despair.

Although he didn't intend to change his family, when facing Zheng Yuncheng, he still couldn't help being afraid, worried that he would lose his position.

Zheng Yuncheng didn't have such a great ability, but the courtiers of Yingtianfu did, it wasn't just a matter of a letter.

Obviously already desperate, he turned his head again in the blink of an eye, and went straight into the sky, and was praised inexplicably.

Leaving from Zheng Yuncheng's place, Su Guan's chest heaved violently, and hot air was constantly blowing out from his nasal cavity.

Just get away with it.

Immortals fight, little ghosts suffer, Su Guan just wants to find a place where no one is around, get drunk and ignore everything.

Just as Su Guan left, a person walked out from the room, sat down casually without saying hello, and Zheng Yuncheng ignored him.

"It's a small thing, it needs to work hard." The man said carelessly, "If you don't listen, you can change it."

From a sixth-rank official, it seems like nothing in his mouth.

The county magistrate is only seven ranks.

"You like to meddle in political affairs so much, but you don't want to come out to be an official, and you only do some errands, isn't it a contradiction."

Zheng Yuncheng asked curiously.

The man made himself a cup of tea and handed it to Zheng Yuncheng first, seeing that he refused, he drank it on his own.

"You think I am willing to come to Peiping. I just want to stay away from these bad things."

"I also feel aggrieved. On the banks of the Qinhuai River, walking side by side with beautiful women and holding hands, and walking into Lanfang is my wish."

The man looked over Zheng Yuncheng's shoulder, fell on the plaque above the hall, and grinned at Zheng Yuncheng with a smile.

"The prince's mansion is a local snake, and all the guards in Beiping listen to restraint. If King Yan is really angered, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Beiping."

Zheng Yuncheng knew this person's temperament, and it looked frivolous on the outside, but it was actually his disguise.

"The King of Yan is not the King of Qin. He has his own way of doing things and never acts recklessly."

"Ha ha."

The man sneered, "Then you have underestimated this Lord."

Zheng Yuncheng showed doubts in his eyes, could there be something he didn't know.

"Qingshou Temple."

Zheng Yuncheng was even more confused when he heard the words.

He knew this temple, it was the family temple of the palace, it was incensed by the palace, the temple strictly abided by the rules, and never heard anything bad.

"The abbot of this temple is a person who escaped from birth many times in the hands of Jiang Xian, the commander of Jinyiwei."

"so what?"

Zheng Yuncheng asked back.

The man shook his head, after all, Zheng Yuncheng was just a matter of fact, and he didn't participate in many things. If it wasn't that no one was available, the gang of Ying Tianfu would not have found Zheng Yuncheng.

It's really like King Yan is a little white rabbit.

Zheng Yuncheng frowned.

The attitude of the other party made him a little displeased, so he said indifferently: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

The man did not refute, but instead said: "There is nothing to say about things without evidence, but remind you, King Yan is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Zheng Yuncheng didn't want to talk anymore.

Indeed, he is nothing more than an official of the fifth rank.

It is not small in terms of location, but in the eyes of the court chiefs, it is just a slightly bigger pawn.

One must be self-aware to be a man, he didn't want to get involved in these things, but who made him suddenly come to the front.

He couldn't afford to offend King Yan, and he couldn't afford to offend the court even more.

"Since we know that King Yan is not easy to deal with, the people below should not be lazy, otherwise they will not be pushed to King Yan."

"The thousand households of the Jinzhou Zhongzuo Institute are nothing in the eyes of the Chief Secretary of Shandong, but a small role in the past, when he firmly takes refuge in the palace, he can make the Chief Secretary of Shandong helpless."

"Especially in the current situation, you shouldn't underestimate the officials below." Zheng Yuncheng also reminded.

"Okay, I admit that I'm a little short-sighted, hahahahaha." The man readily admitted his mistake and couldn't help laughing out loud.

That person was not serious, Zheng Yuncheng said coldly: "If I were you, I wouldn't be so optimistic."

"Why?" The man was taken aback for a moment, seeing Zheng Yuncheng's attitude, he restrained himself, thinking about whether he had made any omissions.

He admitted that he really underestimated Zheng Yuncheng.

Just throwing a brick in Yingtian Mansion can hit a fifth-rank official, and he doesn't even look down on fifth-rank officials, let alone officials below fifth rank.

Zheng Yuncheng turned his eyes away, hiding the contempt in his heart.

The fox pretends to be the tiger.

Some people have gained power for a long time, and they really take the borrowed power as their own.

This person obviously doesn't understand anything, he doesn't even understand some common sense in the officialdom, but relying on the voice transmission among the big bosses, he has mastered some information that is unknown elsewhere, and he feels that he is the rebirth of Kong Ming.

In Yingtianfu, these people are used to requests from local dignitaries to come to Beijing, so in short, they are a bit out of touch.

Zheng Yuncheng's ancestral home was in Yingtian Mansion, so he knew the characters of these people well.

It's just that the man didn't hide it deeply, and Zheng Yuncheng hid it so deeply that he couldn't see through it.

Yan Wang is the fourth son of the sage.

In terms of power in the vassal land, King Yan does not show the mountains and does not reveal water, and has much stronger control than King Qin and King Jin. If anyone thinks that King Yan is easy to deal with, it means that this person will definitely suffer.

And the eldest son of King Yan has a great talent in economics, and the cooperation between the two fathers and sons is even more powerful.

It can be said that he lost thousands of miles, and even the direction was wrongly judged.

"Because the second and third rank officials of the Beiping Chief Secretary are not here, do you think you want to win over the lower officials?"

The man said to himself and analyzed, "But what's the use of wooing, the people below are not stupid, they will only help others by force, the master who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle."

The man looked at Zheng Yuncheng, and finally couldn't help revealing, "Fansi Yan is coming to Beiping soon."

Zheng Yuncheng did not speak.

This person doesn't understand local affairs at all, and talking to him is like playing the piano with cows.

The man sensed Zheng Yuncheng's attitude and began to assert his identity.

He behaves freely and freely, but when others ignore him, he feels very unhappy in his heart. At first, he thought that Zheng Yuncheng was a fifth-rank official after all. .

After Su Guan left, Jiang Chengwang followed. Because there were so many people with mixed eyes and no background, but his flickering eyes seemed to have a lot of questions to ask.

Su looked around, "This is not a place to talk."

"That night I was the host and called Shen Zhanzhi and Jiang Yande to them. We haven't gathered for a long time." Jiang Chengwang suggested in a low voice.

Su Guan nodded, "You go there first, and I'll go find you after I deal with the people here."

at night.

In a courtyard, four or five Peking officials met in the room, had a few drinks and then put down their glasses.

The maids closed the door, now it is clean.

Jiang Chengwang first poured himself a glass of sake to moisten his throat, and then asked curiously, "What happened? Why did you make it so mysterious."

Everyone also felt that Su Guan was a little nervous today, knowing that he had been recruited to inquire about the matter, but the big blue jade case had been settled, so what else could be done.

"The new chief envoy is already on his way," Su Guan said. When everyone heard the news for the first time, they were stunned.

"Where did you get the news?"

Su Guan didn't answer, the man knew he had made a slip of the tongue, Su Guan got close to the palace, if he had any connections with the sixth rank's faculties, he naturally got the news from the palace.

Everyone digested this important news.

The reason why the chief secretary of Beiping has been weak for more than half a year is because he has no head.

The left and right political envoys and left and right political participants were all transferred away, and the one with the highest rank was only a matter of the fifth rank.

If a new executive takes office, some things will change.

Where should they go.

Whether to continue to act according to the attitude of the palace for more than half a year, or what attitude the new chief envoy will adopt towards the palace.

Everyone is worried, worrying about their own future.

Su Guan didn't say a word.

The chief secretary has never been able to win over the royal family, so the royal family started with the chief secretary's middle and lower level officials.

The palace is permanently stationed in Beiping, and officials have terms of office. This is the biggest advantage of the palace.

The officials at the top are from other places and are not afraid of offending the palace, but many of the middle and lower officials of the Chief Secretary of Beiping are locals, and they dare not do things in front of the palace.

"Do you know the temperament of the new chief envoy?" Jiang Yande, an official of the procuratorate, couldn't help asking.

Su Guan dipped in the drink and wrote a word on the table.

"hiss."

Everyone took a deep breath.

"Could it be that we are going to attack the palace so soon? But the imperial court's decree has only passed half a year, has it changed its mind again?"

"What should we do! Alas, can't we be stable for a few years? The root of the vassal king is above, but he wants to use his strength below to embarrass us below."

Shen Zhanzhi complained, he forgot his scruples when speaking in a hurry.

"Cough cough." Someone coughed twice, and Shen Zhanzhi, who came to his senses, quickly shut up.

It is not easy to be an official in Ming Dynasty.

They are feudal lords and Jin Yiwei. These petty officials are different from high-ranking officials. Their official careers have an upper limit. They don't want to be so long-term, but want to be more stable.

"Do you think you will force us?"

"How to force it?" Su Guan's eyes widened. "The Chief Secretary has his own rules and regulations. I will follow the rules. Who can force me to wait?"

Su Guan's words left everyone speechless.

The truth is this truth, but how can it be so simple in reality.

As far as the food and salaries of the Jinzhou Zhongzuo Institute are supplied by the Chief Secretary of Beiping, and the card is given by the superior, don't they have to make a choice?
No matter how you choose, you will offend the other party, and then attract revenge.

These middle- and lower-level officials with real power may not be at the forefront of Taoism, but in terms of official experience, they immediately thought of something that could force them.
