Chapter 869 The Lord and the minister were heartbroken, and Xu Fengnian was in Wudang again
Xu Fengnian pondered silently. In the final analysis, the crux of the matter was not the Liangzhou officialdom where he had just changed his parents, nor even Lu Chengyan and Lu Dongjiang, but Xu Fengnian. In the past two years, he did not have a good impression of the Lu family after going to Liang, but he did not make clear statements in many matters. The Beiliang people could not grasp the thoughts of him, the vassal king, so they could only tolerate concessions everywhere, especially in the matter of refusing Beicheng, which attracted the Lu family as a real official position. The Beiliang officialdom naturally did not dare to underestimate the Lu family. In addition, this extraordinary promotion of Lu Dongjiang undoubtedly helped the Lu family to be promoted.
Song Dongming’s face was calm, but he couldn’t help but feel a little depressed. Originally, he was still interested in making friends with Lu Dongjiang, but he didn’t expect that this famous Qingzhou scholar who was famous in the Central Plains would be so arrogant that he might disrupt the situation in Liangzhou! Song Dongming also knew that Bai Yu had objections to Lu Dongjiang’s appointment as the governor of Liangzhou, so Lu Dongjiang’s move was tantamount to slapping him without a sound in the face. I guess Bai Yu was watching the fire across the river at this time. Xu Fengnian sighed and said nothing to Song Dongming. He only said that the three appointments will be put on hold on the side of the Marshal’s Mansion for the time being, and he will go to the Liangzhou Governor’s Mansion in person. Then Xu Fengnian changed the topic and said with a smile that Li Gongde also submitted his resignation, only retaining the position of refusing Beicheng Supervisor. Then Li Gongde recommended you to himself Song Dongming as the second general in the history of Beiliangdao. Song Dongming did not agree, saying that Beiliang still needs Li Gongde, a mature and respectful local official, as the Strategic Envoy. Otherwise, the governors of the four prefectures of Liangling and Youliu have been replaced by foreigners. If Song Dongming was promoted to Strategic Envoy, it would be even worse, and it would inevitably make the local scholars of Beiliang feel resentful. Xu Fengnian did not force it, but only said that Song Dongming would consider it again.
After Xu Fengnian left the yamen hall, he went from the residence of the governor of Liangzhou. Sitting in the carriage, Xu Fengnian subconsciously stroked the dragon-tail jade pendant hanging around her waist with his fingers. It is not surprising that Song Dongming gave up his position of strategy and commandment that was within his reach. Bai Yu, who arrived in Beiliang late at Mingming of Song Dong, is now in Qingliang Mountain and has a low and powerful position. Mr. Bai Lian has not had a prominent status in the face of official positions, but there are already a group of like-minded young handsome men gathered around him. Bai Yu is only one position away. Once Song Dongming frees up the seat of the deputy commander, Bai Yu will undoubtedly sit down. Obviously, in Song Dongming’s eyes, the position of the Deputy General Commander is like a dangerous pass, and it must not be given to Bai Yu, who is eyeing him, otherwise the legitimate latter will truly rise in the officialdom of Beiliang. Song Dongming decided to sit in the seat of the deputy commander for another two or three years. At that time, as long as the battle between Liangmang ends, civil and military officials in the Northern Liang Dynasty will be rewarded for their merits. Bai Yu, who is not worthy of his official position, will be slower and slower, and it will be difficult for him to become a major concern in the future. Xu Fengnian smiled knowingly, and he had no intention of revealing Song Dongming’s selfish thoughts. Actually, this is a good thing, which means that Song Dongming has already shown signs of taking root in Beiliang. As for whether he will treat Bai Yu badly, Xu Fengnian doesn’t care about it., then again, if Song Dongming could really arouse Bai Yu’s desire to win, it would be a great thing for Beiliang Tianda.
When Xu Fengnian appeared outside the gate of the governor’s residence, the clerk was so scared that he urinated one by one, and hurriedly opened the middle door to welcome the visiting King of Beiliang. Xu Fengnian walked in quickly, and soon he saw officials from the No. 20th and 30th governor’s office surrounded Lu Dongjiang in purple robe. Xu Fengnian laughed at it. According to the rules of the governor of Liyang, he was a third-rank official, and the official tuition should be embroidered with peacocks. The governor of Liangzhou in Beiliang Road has always been half a rank higher than that of Youzhou Lingzhou, and he was a second-rank official. This was reported and archived by the Ministry of Personnel of Liyang’s court for a long time, and there was no problem. However, no one in the past governor of Liangzhou in Beiliang dared to wear the official uniform of the second-rank golden pheasant embroidered with openness. One, two, three, four, and all are green after the one, two, three, and four, which is the rule of the Liyang officialdom, so there is an insurmountable gap between the purple robe and the big red official robe. In Tai’an City, taking the Secretariat as an example, the Secretariat of the Six Divisions are the second rank and are well-deserved ministers of purple robe, but most of the six divisions are the third rank and are still not allowed to wear purple robes. During the Yonghui period, only the left minister of the Ministry of Justice of the Ministry of Justice of the Ministry of Justice was promoted to the second rank. After Xiangfu, not only the right minister of these two departments was promoted to the second rank, but even the left minister of the Ministry of Rites was promoted to the second rank this year, and it became the Liyang Dingjing. Lu Dongjiang can be regarded as the first governor in Beiliang Road to wear purple robe and official uniforms. This is one of the few high-quality governors in the Liyang territory. If Xu Fengnian remembers correctly, today, only the top leaders of Liangzhou, Jing’an Road, Qingzhou, Tangzhou, and Yuezhou in the southern edge of Jing’an Road, were from the second rank. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that Lu Dongjiang is the third person in the North Liang Road civil servant who is only under the command of one official and one deputy commander, which is reasonable.
A sudden meeting was filled with laughter and chatting happily. Whether it was the old face of the Liangzhou Governor’s residence or the new face of the dozen Zhang Lu, they were relieved when they saw the young vassal king who always had a gentle smile. If Tai’an City is at the foot of the Zhao family emperor, then Liangzhou is the well-deserved front of the Xu family. The governor of Liangzhou has been suspended for many years. Liangzhou is actually the governor. The general of Liangzhou has always been the governor of the Northern Liang Dynasty. Tian Peifang has been promoted from the governor of Youzhou to the governor of Liangzhou without any changes. He advocates the rule of inaction. Lu Dongjiang changed his previous experience and introduced dozens of Lu’s children in one breath. In addition, Shi Fu, who had been silent for many years, was also very disturbing. The ups and downs of the two top leaders of Liangzhou military and political affairs, can make the officials of Liangzhou continue to be the old god. Fortunately, after the prince’s conversation today, he was in a new relationship. Both old people and two groups of officials in the governor’s residence showed affirmation, and they praised seven or eight people by name, and had high hopes for the new people, and had an appreciation for the old people. They had no sticks and only dates for both sides, and they did not favor one or the other. This made the old people in the governor’s residence particularly grateful. They were really worried that after Lu Dongjiang took charge, it was not enough to stuff them into the Lu family after being in charge of the country. They had to chase them all to sit on the bench before they could stop. Once even the prince agreed to this, even the gods could not save their official position.It’s the way.
For some reason, I saw this prince with my own eyes today and was angry with the Lu family, which led to the agitatedness of the older generation of officials of the governor’s mansion who were also quite slandering Qingliang Mountain. Perhaps the young prince was sitting on the chair and chatting and laughing, which made people involuntarily feel awe.
Xu Fengnian finally had a private chat with his father-in-law Lu Dongjiang. Outsiders didn’t know what the young vassal king said, but only saw that the governor with a spring breeze became more and more red. Later, Lu Dongjiang took the initiative to withdraw several illegal appointments and comforted the tribe members, promising to have a great fortune in less than three years. Not only that, Lu Dongjiang also seriously urged everyone for the first time to make it clear that they must restrain themselves during this period of time and must not insult the Lu family’s style. In addition to giving the family a reassurance, Lu Dongjiang also had three members of the Lu family removed from the genealogy overnight. From that moment on, Lu Dongjiang had a bit of the atmosphere of the head of the Lu family.
When Bai Yu walked out of a secluded mansion drunk and suddenly saw a carriage lifting the curtain, he was stunned, strode away, got in the carriage and sat in the carriage. Facing the young man, Mr. Bai Lian was calm.
Xu Fengnian, who came to the residence of the deputy governor of Beiliangdao to pick up the people, joked, “Mr. Bai Lian, you are not afraid of causing anger among the public.”
Bai Yu was used to squint his eyes and looked at people with his eyes and smiled, “The hot stove cannot be burned, the prince does not allow me to burn the cold stove.”
Xu Fengnian laughed in silence and changed the topic, “Li Gongde said he would resign from the position of the General Secretary, and the governor of Youzhou Hu Kui also wanted to enter the border army. If Mr. Bai Lian has any ideas, he might as well say it directly.”
Bai Yu said without any restraint and straightforwardly: “Your Majesty will talk about your thoughts first, and of course the Deputy General Secretary Song’s idea.”
Xu Fengnian also said bluntly: “My original intention is to let Lord Song follow the trend and be promoted to the Chief Secretary, and you will be the deputy Chief Secretary, but Lord Song suggested that there are too many ‘Foreign Governors’ in the current situation in Beiliang, and there should be no more foreign governors.”
Bai Yu leaned against the wall of the carriage lazily and sneered: “Oh, that’s simple. After Li Jinglu resigned, Lord Song became his regular governor, let the new Liangzhou governor Lu Dongjiang serve as the deputy governor, and then let Lingzhou not be the governor of Beiliang, Song Yan, who is the governor of Youzhou. As for the governor of Liangzhou…”
At this point, Bai Yu stretched out his finger and pointed at himself.
Who else can I do?
Xu Fengnian remained silent, Bai Yu smiled and said, “This arrangement of Beiliang Road is to make Lord Song embarrassed, but if the official hat I asked for is smaller, I will go to Youzhou to be the governor and no longer be an official under Lord Song’s nose, it will make the prince embarrassed.”
Bai Yu restrained his smile: “In fact, the most suitable candidate for being the governor of Liangzhou is not me, Bai Yu, but Xu Beizhi, the former governor of Lingzhou. Please rest assured, no matter what, the prince., I don’t do it, whether it’s the deputy commander or the governor. “
Xu Fengnian wondered, “How can I do it myself?”
Bai Yu lifted up a corner of the curtain of the car and hung it on the hook. The breeze blew on his face, bringing a little coolness to the car. Bai Yu sighed, “The key is not how I think, but how courageous the prince is. ”
Xu Fengnian became more and more confused: “What do you say in sir?”
