Ying Tianfu, Governor's Yamen of Liangjiang
After the death of the former Ming Dynasty, Chen Han abolished the post of Minister of Nanzhili. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Nanzhili was abolished and renamed Jinling Province. During the reign of Longzhi, because of the huge administrative system of Jinling Province, the official system was re-established. Today, the former Jinling Province It was also faintly split into several pieces, and the old name was changed.
First, Huaiyang, with the title of governor of water transportation and deputy capital censor, and the governor of Huaiyang Lufeng four prefectures, Xu and Chu three prefectures, governed Huai'an.
At that time, he was called the governor of Huaiyang and the governor of water transportation.
Of course, because the governor's job is to transport water from the south to the north, he ignores civil affairs and adds the title of "capital censor, governor of Huaiyang" for convenience.
Second, the Jiangnan governor governs Yingtian Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, and Zhenjiang Mansion, and governs Suzhou, which is the predecessor of the later Jiangsu Province. Assistant to the civil affairs of the five governments.
Thirdly, the Zuobu government envoy in the south of the Yangtze River was stationed in Yingtian, and took charge of the civil affairs of Luzhou, Anqing, Huizhou, Ningguo, Chizhou, Taiping, Fengyang, Xuzhou, Hezhou, Chuzhou and other prefectures. The predecessor of Anhui Province in later generations.
Because the land in the south of the Yangtze River inherited Jinling Province, which was renamed from Nanzhili, and still retained the government offices such as the "Imperial Commissioner Jinling Tirenyuan President's Department", people often used Jinling Province and Jiangnan Province together.
In addition, Yingtian Mansion also set up the governor of Liangjiang, and the government office of the Ministry was stationed in Jieyingtian to manage the military, government, food and salaries of Jiangnan and Jiangxi provinces.
In fact, the governor of Jiangnan and the governor of Liangjiang, or the governor and the governor, in the Chen Hanjing system, once the governor is in the same province, strictly speaking, there is no clear relationship between the superior and the subordinate, and each is in charge of a share of affairs. Play the role of constraints and checks and balances.
At this moment, in the official hall of Liangjiang governor's yamen, it was early morning, the back hall of the official hall.
An old man in a crimson official robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a black black gauze hat on his head, sat on a shiny armchair with a letter in his hand, twirled his beard, and read the letter paper.
He was nearly fifty years old, with a thin face, gray hair, hale and hearty, and a dignified manner. He was no one else, but the owner of this government office——Shen Bing, Governor of Liangjiang.
As one of the few governor-generals in the Chen and Han Dynasties who ruled over several provinces, this Shen Jiefu was born in an out-and-out Kejia family and was good at administering the Confucian classics, so he had an outstanding official reputation among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Dong Weng." A middle-aged staff member sitting not far away, about forty years old, wearing a blue shirt, with a refined face, is the chief bookkeeper of Jiyi characters in the Shenfang shogunate, named Fu Jingben, Shaoxing Mansion, Zhejiang people.
"Look at it too, this is the second letter from Uncle Yongning to this old man this month, and it's talking about the river affairs of Huaiyang again." Shen Fang smiled, his eyes were shining brightly under his slender eyebrows.
Fu Jingben got up quickly, took the letter, and read it intently. After a while, he frowned and said, "Dong Weng, a letter from Qingjiangpu came the day before yesterday, and he also mentioned this matter. This Yongning Bo said that after the summer, there will be heavy rains. Cheng Xun, he really thinks he can pinch and count, a prophet?"
"Uncle Yongnian is Wu Xun. Although he is young, he was born in a general family and has extraordinary talents. He is now promoted by the Holy Master to be a military minister. Because of the chaos in Henan, he had predicted that the enemy would take the lead." Shen Fang picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and calmed down. Said loudly.
Previously, he knew more details from some correspondence in Beijing. He forged good news and saw through it at a glance.
I have to say, it is indeed a character.
"Nowadays, the imperial court is using its ability to increase the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Henan's military and political affairs. This is the time when the youth is full of ambition and high-spirited." Shen Fang said again with a calm face.
This great official of the frontier had a calm face, neither happy nor angry, or he was deeply scheming, and his happiness and anger were invisible.
Fu Jingben nodded and said: "This Yongning Bo, the students also know something about it. He started his career to rectify the Beijing camp. He was the governor of the Guoyong camp at first, and assisted Li Xiang in reconciling the troubles caused by the prince. Later, he was promoted all the way. There is not much to praise, and this time the Henan Rebellion has just come to the fore."
"Don't underestimate it." Shen Bing said.
Fu Jingben said: "Dong Weng, this man has a bit of thunderous means when he talks about it, but the civil affairs and river affairs are not as good as the others, they are always involved in the upper and lower levels, and they are hindered by layers. Don't rush. He won the Beijing camp in Henan. Retinue, marching with a big victory, can still suppress dissent, but together with He Wu, he is still an amateur."
Shen Fang shook his head, and said: "He made a big move in Henan, he did a bad job, he just got up and left, he did it right, but instead, he got a reputation for being a good man, if this old man is him, it's about the same."
Speaking of this, my heart is cold again and again.
Fu Jingben pondered for a moment, then said: "However, when it will rain and how much it will rain, this is something that only the Dragon Lord knows. This Uncle Yongning is too convincing."
"What is said in the letter is what the incumbent Guanhe Tongzhi of the Hedao Yamen said. He is good at observing the sky. Maybe he saw something, but I don't know it." Shen Fang said indifferently.
Fu Jingben thought for a while, and suggested: "Then Dong Weng is still the same as last time. The students will write a book and send it back to the governor's office in Henan."
The master book is engaged in some daily texts and helps write materials.
"Return to the reply letter. At the same time, the recent writings and letters from Henan will be published in the Jinling Mansion newspaper. In addition, in the name of the old man, I will write the Nanhe Governor's Yamen and the Yingtian Chief Envoy Si Yamen, and let them inspect the river embankment. There must be no mistakes in the things needed for disaster relief." Shen Fang said in a deep voice.
The Jinling Dibao is the official newspaper of the Han Dynasty in Jinling Province. Like the Dibao in Shenjing City, it records the current official news, but it is more about the personnel changes and political news in the southern province.
Fu Jingben thought for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Dong Weng is thoughtful, the students admire him."
"It's not only to give him face, but also to let everyone in the Jiangnan officialdom know this honorable man of the dynasty." Shen Bing said with a calm face, "If there is a heavy rain and flood, it cannot be said that this official does not pay attention to this matter, if not, It doesn't hurt too much."
It is not inappropriate to rectify the river affairs and write a letter to Gao Bin, the governor of Nanhe, because Jia Heng is now also in charge of the river governors of Henan and Shandong. In case of dangerous work, we will rush to repair it and inform each other at the same time. We have the right and responsibility to communicate with each other.
However, Jia Heng wrote to Liangjiang governor's yamen, and sent a personal letter to Shen Fang, advising Liangjiang governor's yamen to beware of flood disasters.
Of course, Jia Heng didn't think there was anything wrong with this. As the minister of military aircraft and the governor of the river, there was nothing wrong with letting Shen Fang know.
But in the Jiangnan officialdom, which generally despises northerners and martial arts, it is easy to form such a perception.
The famed Uncle Yongning was more or less youthful and aggressive.
Coupled with Henan's various actions, it is easy to label it as arrogant and domineering.
Of course, the most important thing is that everyone is in Qinhuai Fengyue, looking for a job well.
Fu Jingben said: "Dong Weng, just now the Qige veteran sent an invitation card, waiting for your lord in the Tirenyuan to discuss the reform of the salt affairs."
Qi Kun came to Yangzhou to rectify the salt affairs, first met Lin Ruhai who was recuperating in Yangzhou Salt Court, and then went straight to Yingtian.
He successively met with Zhen Yingjia, President of Jinling Tiren Institute, Chu Gongda, Jiangnan Right Chief Envoy, and Shen Fang, Governor of Liangjiang, and other high-level officials.
When it comes to salt affairs, Shen Fang frowned and said: "For the matter of salt affairs, the imperial court first sent Liang Yuan, the minister of the household department, and Yu De, the censor of the capital of Youqin, and now sent a cabinet minister to the south. As the saying goes, the salt affairs are under the jurisdiction of Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, and the court can collect an extra three or four million taels every year."
At the end, his tone was somewhat sarcasm, and he said: "The servant of the household department was sent to Beijing after halfway through the investigation. I don't know how long this servant of Qi can stay here."
The salt affairs not only involved the palace, but also the officials of the six ministries in Nanjing. There was no intention of the palace.

Henan governor's yamen, backyard
In the early morning, the golden morning light shines through the window, projecting the graceful figure of the beauty on the screen.
In front of the dressing table, Princess Xianning, dressed in a light red dress and wearing a flying fairy bun, was doing her makeup in front of the mirror, looking at the beautiful face in the mirror, gently stroking her red cheek, and lost her mind for a moment.
I don't know if it's her illusion, but the spring charm between the brows and the corners of her eyes made her blush and jump with fear.
Just when the girl was distracted, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from outside the door.
Not long after, the boy in the python suit stepped into the wing room, looked at the girl sitting in front of the dressing table with flushed cheeks and eyes like autumn waves, and softly called: "Xianning."
Princess Xianning looked at the young man happily, her eyes were soft and shining, she pursed her cherry lips, and said softly: "Sir, are you here?"
Jia Heng responded, and came close, and said in a warm voice: "If you stay here for a month or two, it will be inconvenient if you don't have a maid by your side. You need to do everything by yourself."
As he spoke, he picked up the comb on the side and combed Princess Xianning's soft and delicate green hair.
It's not that the Feng family or the Song family can help find a maid to serve Xianning. Once a maid is found, it will be him and Xianning who are in trouble.
From that day on, he couldn't hold back. After tasting Tianning, he tasted Xianning again. In the past few days, the relationship between the two of them has grown by leaps and bounds. Every night, when he was free from business, he came to enjoy Xianning's dance, and praised his exquisite dancing skills... He talked endlessly, with great relish.
It's a pity that Xianning's temperament is cold, and he seems to be a little shy. After coaxing him a few times, he is still hesitant. When he gets interested, he can only find another way.
Otherwise, since she is an emperor daughter after all, she can't... damage the face of the royal family before they get married.
With her hair combed by the young man behind her, Princess Xianning had a beautiful face and a sweet heart. She stared at the young man's face in the bronze mirror with bright eyes, and said softly, "I'm fine. I'm not afraid of hardship."
"Xianning, tell you something." Jia Heng combed for a while, then gently hugged Princess Xianning, and whispered in his ear.
The bright smile between the girl's brows and eyes faded slightly, she turned her icy muscular face, and asked in surprise with her clear eyes: "What's wrong?"
In fact, there is some speculation in my heart, I'm afraid she is coming, Xia Houying mentioned it in Feige's letter the day before yesterday.
Jia Heng considered his words and explained: "Tomorrow, I'm going to Luoyang, you can wait for me in Kaifeng mansion."
Princess Xianning was silent for a while, and Xiuli's clear eyes under her eyebrows were complicated, and she said in a clear voice, "When will the sir come back?"
"It may take a few days, mainly because the Yellow River has been repaired recently, and some grain and rice need to be purchased and transported to the river workers." Jia Heng paused, and explained: "Also, the day before yesterday, the flying pigeons in Beijing passed the letter, The Holy Majesty asked me to keep an eye on the Wei and Zheng feudal lords, presumably to investigate the Wei and Zheng feudal lords, I may stay in Luoyang for a few more days, about ten days."
"Ten days? It's been so long." Princess Xianning murmured, her heart tightened, her white teeth gently bit her lips that were as moist as peach pistils, her eyes as bright as water concealed entanglement, and she said softly: "Sir, do you think I'm in the way?"
Hearing this, Jia Heng paused, grabbed Princess Xianning's catkin, stared at the beautiful girl, pulled a chair, sat down, and said softly: "Why? I love you so much. It is too hard to run back and forth like this, after we leave Beijing, you will follow me to counter the rebellion with the army and inspect the embankment, and you will be tired."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to gently caress Xianning's cheek, smiled lightly, and said: "You see, this face has softened a lot. After returning to Beijing, I'm afraid Concubine Rong should feel distressed. You A good life will be raised."
Princess Xianning nestled her head into Jia Heng's arms, and said softly: "I'm not working hard, sir, let me go there, and if she comes, I'm still a junior, so I should welcome her."
Jia Heng: "..."
Are you welcome?Do you want to fight hard, and then the Dao will be wiped out?
Seeming to see what Jia Heng was thinking, Princess Xianning raised her eyes and fixedly looked at Jia Heng, then she suddenly smiled, like a snow lotus on an iceberg swaying in the wind, and said: "Mr. I can't escape forever."
Jia Heng: "???"
"Don't worry sir, nothing will happen. Speaking of which, I have known her longer than sir. She even hugged me when I was young." Under Princess Xianning's Liu Ye eyebrows, her bright eyes flashed, a little Diminish.
Jia Heng's face was in a daze, and he said subconsciously: "She hugged you before, someday you will hug her too?"
Princess Xianning: "???"
Well, what hug, how to hug?
"No, what I mean is, I'm afraid she will get angry even more, maybe not necessarily." Jia Heng said softly, quickly suppressed the strange thoughts in his heart, wrapped Xianning's shoulders, and there was still a breath of freshness floating between his nostrils. Like the lotus dew of grass and trees.
Princess Xianning leaned her head on Jia Heng's shoulder, her eyes were slightly distracted, and she said in a clear voice: "Sir, but I don't want to be here alone, waiting alone."
In the past few days, although she and her husband have not reached the point where the sword is on the ground, what is the difference between them and a real couple?
Now because that person came, can he leave her alone?
Feeling the girl's depression and resentment, Jia Heng paused and said softly: "Then let's go together, it's just...she came all the way here after all."
Needless to say, the latter needs to be understood by Princess Xianning herself.
Princess Xianning raised her beautiful face and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, sir."
Jia Heng nodded, and did not continue talking about this matter, but changed the subject, saying: "Just now, the imperial court staff department wrote that Xu Kai, a former Hanlin scholar, is going to be transferred to Henan as an official. I am thinking about what to arrange for him." good job."
Princess Xianning's clear eyes sparkled, and she said softly: "Sir, didn't a letter come a few days ago, didn't the sir want to send him to know the state?"
"That's Fu Shi, who was originally a student of the Rongguo government master." Jia Heng said with a smile, took Princess Xianning's plain hand, and said in a warm voice: "He will also bring his family to Henan to take office in a few days. I have already informed the officials. The Ministry of Public Affairs transferred him to be the prefect of Xinyang Prefecture. This Xu Shi said that he had been paying attention to the selection of officials in the Ministry of Officials for a long time, and after hearing this letter, he entrusted someone to ask."
Speaking of which, it was an official letter signed by Han Huang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and a revised book, which mentioned Xu Kai's resume and strongly recommended it.
Jia Heng also repaid the favor he owed for troublesome Han Huang to run Jiazheng to Tongzheng Shiyou Tongzheng.
Princess Xianning's bright eyes flashed, and she said, "What about sir, what do you think, sir?"
Jia Heng said: "He is very courageous and wants to go to Luoshan County, Runing Prefecture, but he is an imperial servant, from a fifth-rank official, and he comes from Qingliu, so he can't be treated lightly. Provincial councilors are enough, but according to Elder Han Ge, he only thought of the place as the parental official, so it is not impossible to appoint him as the prefect of Runing Prefecture for the time being."
"Fang Ping is in great chaos in Ru Ning, I'm afraid there will be Yu Kou, sir let him know Ru Ning, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid the public opinion of scholars will also affect sir." Princess Xianning said worriedly after thinking for a while.
Jia Heng said: "That's not true. Now that Qu Guang is rebuilding the capital of Henan, the first one to be formed is the Runing Guard. There are heavy imperial troops stationed there, so it's not a big problem."
In the past half a month, not only the river affairs, but also the news of the preparations for the construction of the Henan capital and the troops sent to Shandong to exterminate the remaining Bailian bandits have also come in one after another.
"It's fine for the master to decide these matters." Princess Xianning said softly with clear eyes.
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Well, there is nothing else to do, I promise you to go around today, let's go."
"En." Princess Xianning responded softly, without further words.

Shenjing Castle, Palace Garden
Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall
At this moment, it was another routine midday court, the cabinet, the six ministries, the capital censor, and Ke Dao gathered together to discuss with the imperial court.
In the past few days, the turmoil of Li Di in Beijing has been relegated to Guangxi with Yu Shishou, who was the first to go to the Hanlin Academy, who was the first to go to Shuchen to ask for Li Heir, and who had established the country's foundation early. Heyday, there is no intention of establishing a heir.
In addition, the chief culprits of the Central Plains rebellion-Gao Yue, Wang Sishun and others were escorted to the capital, as well as the grandson of Yuan Zhen Guogong, first-class Bo Niu Jizong was also sent to the capital.
And all of this immediately attracted the attention of civil and military courtiers, and at the same time, the details about Jia Heng's quelling the chaos in Henan were once again discovered by some good-for-nothing people in Shenjing, and they were amazed.
For example, Gao Yue beheaded all the generals of the Beijing camp, and the commander of the Beijing camp, who personally carried a long knife, captured Gao Yue alive, which is quite legendary.
Emperor Chongping stared at the courtiers below, but he did not raise the concerns of the courtiers. Instead, he said: "The Henan side has made a report, saying that the Tongji Canal has confiscated bandits for ransom, and the initial dredging has been completed. The Henan side is stepping up efforts to repair the river. , to prepare for the summer floods, and to write to the governor's office of Nanhe, and to guard against the heavy rains in summer, can the cabinet write to the provinces and counties along the Yellow River?"
Holding an ivory jade wat, Yang Guochang came out of the class and played: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the cabinet has written a document to the Nanhe Governor's Yamen, ordering him to rectify the river affairs and guard against summer floods. The imperial court also sent two Duxians to inspect the river embankment."
Emperor Chongping frowned and said, "Peng Ye and Yu De, has there been any news recently?"
At this time, Xu Lu, the censor of Zuodu, bowed his hands and went out of the class, saying: "Your Majesty, Peng Ye, the censor of Zuodu, went to the shuffle yesterday. Since Fei Siming, the governor of Hedong, embezzled the funds for river treatment and the embankment has not been repaired for many years, I pray that the imperial court will thoroughly investigate the river affairs." Since the first year of Chongping, the use of the two branches of the bank was thoroughly investigated, and Yu Deshangshu, the censor of the capital of Youqin, said that he patrolled along the Qingjiang River and built high embankments, so there is no danger for the time being."
Emperor Chongping said in a deep voice: "I have read Peng Ye's memorabilia. The account books of the river affairs have been inspected by Peng Ye, but Yu Deyan's embankment is safe for the time being. What's the reason?"
The coast of Qingjiangpu, which Yu De was inspecting, was safe for the time being, not to mention under his nose, if the Yellow River burst its embankment, the Nanhe Governor's Yamen would bear the brunt of it.
Emperor Chongping said with a pale face, and couldn't help turning his majestic eyes to Han Huang, and asked: "Han Qing, Yu De is the one who recommended you to go south to Huaiyang to investigate the case, and then to Huaiyang to patrol the embankment. What do you mean by saying that the river embankment is safe?" Why?"
Han Huang cupped his hands and said: "My lord, if you listen to both, you will be bright, and if you listen to it, you will be dark. Now it seems that the embankment of the Nanhe section is well built, otherwise Peng Ye would have pointed out this section. The geotechnical materials used by the River Works Office have been a muddled account over the years, and I think it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation to set the record straight."
My heart was covered with a layer of haze, and some words were too full.
But knowing that the words are ambiguous, most of them cannot. The imperial court sent Yu De to patrol the river, and he always had to issue opinions.
This round was originally an attack by the Qi Party on the Zhejiang Party, and they could only see their tricks.
Emperor Chongping's eyes flickered coldly, and he was silent.
Xu Shiyu De's memorandum made the emperor faintly feel that there were traces of party disputes in it, and said in a deep voice: "The account books of the river affairs need to be thoroughly investigated, at least you must know where the imperial court's money has been spent these years, and pass the decree to Peng Ye , Let him thoroughly investigate the river affairs."
At this time, Zhao Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, said: "Your Majesty, the leaders of the Central Plains rebellion, Gao Yue and Wang Sishun, have been escorted to Beijing by the cavalry of the Beijing camp, and the other criminals, Qian Yushan and Niu Jizong, have been sent to the capital. They are now waiting in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Holy Majesty's hair."
When this matter was mentioned, there were whispers in Han Yuan Hall.
It was these few people who caused the violent Henan rebellion, which also caused the imperial court to be overwhelmed. Now they are all sent to the capital, and the Ming Dynasty is punished.
Emperor Chongping also had a cold look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The bandit leader Gao Yue, Wang Sishun and other big and small leaders are all Ling Chi! Criminals Qian Yushan and Niu Jizong, beheaded!"
All the officials in the Hanyuan Hall were excited.
At this time, Ji Hong, the censor of the Zuoqin capital, came out of the train, with aggressive eyes under his thick eyebrows. This censor of the Zuoqian capital was promoted by Xu Lu, the censor of the Zuoqian capital.
Ji Hong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Jia Heng, Minister of Military Aircraft, and Meng Jinwen, Governor of Henan Province, went to Shushen and impeached Luoyang to be stationed in Luoyang a month ago. Please ask the Holy Majesty to deal with it strictly!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar.
Congratulations to the book friend "Shike Jiujiu" for being promoted to the leader, thank you for your support.
