Chapter 801 Government Affairs
Yu Chen finally arrived in Pingyang and brought the entire team with him.
His staff and petty officials were initially reluctant, but the office conditions in Bianliang were too poor. After King Liang left Liang Palace, it was impossible for them to work in Liang Palace, so they came to Pingyang holding their noses.
The Prime Minister’s Mansion has been evacuated.
As almost all Bianliang officials came to Pingyang, various offices made some adjustments.
The Prime Minister's Mansion, where Liu Can once worked, was changed to the Prime Minister's Mansion and handed over to Yu Chen. Some of the official offices of the Liang Kingdom also worked here.
The General's Mansion was moved to the left and right Sili Temple. The two yamen faced each other across the street, running north and south.
The remaining official offices of the Liang Kingdom and the Yanzhou Mu Shogunate, which existed in name only, were moved to Yushi Temple, Left and Right Guanglu Temple and other places.
General Longxiang's shogunate moved out of the city and co-located with the Huyi Xiaowei's office in Shanyutai.
Yu Chen still appreciated Wang Yan's resignation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he did not intend to give in on other matters.
"Chief Protector Su Shuyan is familiar with Wuhuan affairs, so he should be the envoy to Daijun." Yu Chen opened the window of Liu Can's study, looked at the lush trees in front of the eaves, and took a breath of fresh air with rain vapor. , said: "Who is Wei Hong? This is inappropriate."
Yang Mao, who came from Luoyang in February, stood in the room, silent.
Yang Mao was the governor of Yanzhou when Pei Lingyan was in charge of the Kaocheng shogunate, and was later transferred to Dahonglu of the Luoyang court. In mid-February, Liang Guo proposed to set up Honglu Temple, with Honglu Qing as the official, and transferred Yang Mao here.
The King of Liang had a good impression of him because he presided over the ceremony of canonizing Liang Gong. That was the first step in Liang Wang's founding of the state, and it was very crucial. Everyone involved would enjoy endless benefits.
So when discussing the candidate for Dahonglu, Mrs. Pei only mentioned Yang Mao's name briefly, and King Liang readily agreed.
Because he was not the emperor after all, the Liang Kingdom built the Honglu Temple. The chief official was not called "Da Honglu", but was replaced by his nickname "Honglu Qing". He was a subordinate of the third rank. The office was located in the original Xiongnu Inside the imperial censor temple.
Naturally, Hongluqing is responsible to the prime minister.
While Yu Chen was talking, there was Chen Yougen, the Central Guardsman, in the study room used as the office.
He looked at Yu Chen, then at Yang Hao, grinned, and said to himself: Dog bites dog!
The rain outside the window seemed to be getting heavier. Yu Chen turned around and said without any doubt: "This proposal is rejected. Honglu Temple will choose another good man."
"Yes." Yang Mao answered, cupping his hands.
Who is the so-called "beloved man"? Yu Chen has just said: Su Shuyan, the chief military officer of the barbarian protector.
"Prime Minister, is there any change in the envoy on the other side?" Chen Yougen asked.
"Shanglinyuan ordered Yu Yuandu to send an envoy to Yixin Mountain. We will set off tomorrow." Yu Chen said.
Yu Mi was originally a white man when he first went to Shangdang as an envoy. After returning, he was given the post of sacrificial minister in the shogunate.
After returning from Shengle at the beginning of this year, he was transferred to the Liang Kingdom. Just as Honglu Temple was under construction, he was appointed as the seventh-grade Shangliyuan Order and attached to Honglu Temple, which solved the problem of rank.
Shanglin Garden is located in the west of Pingyang City. It is the hunting and military parade place of Liu Cong. It extends all the way to the mountains and has a circuit of more than 200 miles. It is managed by one person.
It’s a bad joke to say.
The Jin Dynasty did not have Shanglin Garden, only Hualin Garden, but the Huns did because their country was named "Han".
Shanglin Yuanling is not just a "scenic spot manager".
In fact, during the Liu Han period, there were people in it, with farmland, lakes, pastures, forests, and courtyards for Liu Cong to play, hunt, and parade. It also produced a lot of grain, vegetables, fruits, and meat. Milk was partly supplied to the palace, and partly used to entertain guests or hold celebration banquets.
This is actually a small county magistrate.
"Now that the prime minister has decided, I will say no more. One hundred knights have been selected and can escort the mission north at any time." Chen Yougen said: "The other mission will be decided as soon as possible, and the king will keep an eye on it. Tight.”
Yu Chen didn’t care about Chen Yougen’s tone of voice and just nodded.
Chen Yougen is a rough guy. Although he has been working hard to study and read, a rough guy is a rough guy. There is no need to be angry with him endlessly - his position is very stable, and ordinary people There's no way he can be defeated.
"If you have nothing to do, just step back." Yu Chen sat back behind the case and said.
Chen Yougen and Yang Mao bowed and resigned.
Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Guo became more and more formal, with more and more government offices. At this point, it has even vaguely replaced some of the functions of the General's Mansion, which strictly speaking has crossed the line.
For example, sending an envoy to Xianbei, what does it have to do with Liang Guo? Dahonglu of Luoyang should have sent envoys, but in fact it was impossible. The center of power was not in Luoyang, but in Pingyang.
Not long after Chen and Yang left, Shaofu eunuch (from the third grade) Yu Zhi came.
The Shaofu specializes in manufacturing, providing various supplies, and also casting money - currently there is only one money supervisor in Dongyuan County, casting Yongjia Tongbao, and the Luoyang money supervisor was withdrawn last year.
"Zimei, I'm just acting on behalf of the public. Do you want a guard of honor or a chariot?" As soon as Yu Zhi came in, he sighed: "The young man has no money."
Yu Chen glanced at him , said: "Tell me, why are you here?"
Yu Zhi smiled awkwardly and said, "I really can't hide it from you."
After thinking about his words, he said softly: "Since moving to Pingyang, everything has been unhappy. When they were in Bianliang, the Pei family had always kept their tail between their legs, but after coming to Pingyang, their abilities became more and more powerful. I heard Pei Jingsheng recommend He Sui, the internal history of the East China Sea, to be the governor of Xuzhou. What does this mean? "
Yu Chen paused for a while.
He Sui was born in the He family of Donghai, and was an old man in Yue Mansion.
After Sima Yue died, he took refuge with Concubine Pei and King Liang. In the past, during Zu Ti's Northern Expedition, He Sui and Liu Chou rushed to Xuzhou and invited the Guan clan of Pengcheng to raise soldiers, horses, money and food to resist the Wu army's offensive. Both of them made great contributions.
Subsequently, Liu Chou served as the governor of Jizhou, and He Sui served as the domestic historian of Donghai, managing several counties.
It was not impossible for this man to serve as the governor of Xuzhou. However, Yu Chen always felt that there were better candidates, such as Long Xiang, who was in charge of Zhonglang, Xi Jian, the former general of the army and now the general of Dongzhonglang. (from the third grade) Li Chong. In fact, he is not willing to make excessive friends with these important generals of the country.
There is no other reason. My daughter is the royal concubine of Prince Liang and he is the Prime Minister. It would be too conspicuous to do these things.
But this time is different, because it involves Yu Liang, and Yu Chen really doesn't trust his son's military abilities.
Yuan Gui, the governor of Xuzhou, is the leader of the army. Will he...
"Xi Daohui only has a secret position and no official position until now..." Yu Chen said while thinking.
“Zimei is so beautiful!” When Yu Zhi heard this, he immediately stopped him and said, “In the past, I was the prefect of Gaoping, and I knew the Xi family in Jinxiang very well. This person had many contacts with the Taiyang family. Last year Suddenly he had a close relationship with the Wang family. Wang Yifu invested a lot of money in him and heard that he was going to marry the Xi family. "
Yu Chen was silent.
Wang Yan put his face down to win over a middle- and low-level noble family, which can be said to be a low-level friendship, especially because there is a need in this regard.
Wang Yifu is really evil!
"Some people from the Wang family have slipped back from the south of the Yangtze River recently, and it must be Wang Yifu's intention." Yu Zhi added: "Hearing that Wang Dun was very angry, he sent troops to stop several Wang family descendants who had returned from Xiangyang north."
"Is there such a thing?" Yu Chen said in surprise.
Yu Zhi was a little gloating: "Wang Dun even scolded Wang Yifu, haha. He should blame Wang Yifu for not taking good care of his brother-in-law, which made him embarrassed."
Yu Chen glared at Yu Zhi.
Halfway through his laughter, Yu Zhi held it back.
"I will take care of Governor Xu's matter again." Yu Chen said: "The most important thing now is Tuoba Xianbei. Although we cannot use troops now, we must make all preparations. Weapons Manufacturing is an important task for the young government, and it must not be ignored."
"I can't help it." Yu Chen said, "What happened to Tuoba Xianbei?"
"I don't know." : "The king has made a strategy. To put it simply, it is to drive a wedge between the various tribes and make them fight against each other or even attack each other."
"Is Suotou so stupid?" Yu Zhi was a little puzzled.
"Have you never heard of drinking poison to quench thirst?" Yu Chen shook his head and said: "Sometimes people do stupid things, not because they are stupid, but because they have no choice. The rope head is now, I think even If they can't fight, they will fall apart. It's great if they can barely maintain unity on the whole. But the King of Liang is watching eagerly, and he is afraid that unity on the surface will not be achieved."
"The rope head can be destroyed." Yu Zhi said with a smile.
"This is a major event." Yu Chen warned: "Whoever can make meritorious service here will definitely be reused. Now that the situation is turbulent and storms are coming, Yu can not make meritorious service, but he must not make mistakes."
Yu Zhu nodded.
Yu Chen sighed.
I am over fifty and my health is not good. I always feel inadequate when doing things.
Actually, everyone cannot escape birth, old age, illness and death. He is not too afraid of death, but he still has many concerns in his heart.
After he leaves, Zisong (Yu Zhi) will definitely not be able to maintain the overall situation. Zi Ju (Yu Min) is not bad, but he is also old.
Who among the next generation can support the Yu family?
If the descendants of the Yu family really can't do it, he will really seriously consider the relatively close Yingchuan gentry clans such as the Chen family, the Xun family, and the Yin family, or even the Zhou family, the Zhong family, the Chu family, the Xu family, and the Zheng family It is not impossible to consider the descendants of gentry from Runan, Chen, Henan, Xingyang and other places, such as Yuan family, Xie family and so on.
There has to be someone to maintain this group, at least it is better than the power falling into the hands of the Langya Wang family, Taiyang family, Hedong Pei family and other clans.
"Yuandu is going on an envoy tomorrow. You come with me to see him off." After gathering his mood, Yu Chen said.
"It should be so." Yu Zhuo said: "Yuandu has also been on missions several times. If he comes back this time, he can go up again. Honglu Temple is newly built, and there should be a lot of vacancies. "
"Let's talk about it first," Yu Chen said casually, then picked up the official letter on the case and started to deal with it.
“Are you familiar with Jing Cheng?” Suddenly, Yu Chen raised his head and asked.
“He used to be the gate captain of the Ximing Gate in Luoyang.” Yu Zhuo said: “After Pei Chun left, he became the gate captain.”
“The king transferred him here Pingyang, I will be appointed as the city gate captain." Yu Chen said while reviewing.
This kind of matter that King Liang personally intervened in, he always followed suit.
Speaking of which, Jing Cheng also had a brother, Jing Hong, who used to be Wen Ling and Sima of Hanoi County.
As a local tycoon in Xingyang, he once asked his family to include the Jing family among the surnames in Xingyang County, and they became a noble family from then on.
Jing Hong burst into tears of gratitude and expressed his loyalty.
On the first day of this year, I went to visit him in person. He was very respectful, and his words had the intention of seeking the position of prefect.
Thinking of this, Yu Chen put down the pen in his hand.
Last year Xinxing was occupied by Tuoba Xianbei, and the prefect Liu Qia fled to Jinyang. Because King Liang had allowed the retreat, he was not held accountable for the loss of territory.
But he did not organize the retreat well and lost many people. Strictly speaking, this was his fault.
Yu Chen was a little undecided.
At this time, the Prime Minister's Office sent an official letter from the Dianke Office of Honglu Temple.
Yu Chen picked it up and took a look: King Tuoba Heli sent envoys from Shengle.
The matter of asking for the head is getting more and more interesting!
