Chapter 237

Of course, whether Liu Yuanqiao or Zheng Zhibao, they are all members of the Ming Dynasty system, and they can't be right with this production.

They can only have a soft confrontation with their superiors according to the rules of the imperial court system.

If there is a hard confrontation, they will rebel like Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong.

Chen YingYuan has no alternative to the soft confrontation of his subordinates. As governor Denglai, he lives in the third grade of official residence. However, he has found one thing now, that is, he can't do anything without the support of the imperial court. Can't he go to the battle to kill the enemy himself?

He also knows that this situation is not only for him, but also for Daming.

Even now, the growing power of building slaves and the increasing number of roving bandits are also the products of this system.

Only when soldiers fight hard and there are bandits to suppress, can they get the full amount of military pay and food issued by the imperial court. If soldiers have no use value, they will be deducted from their military pay by officials, and they will have to be hungry. In this case, the best way for anyone to work hard in war is to raise bandits and respect themselves, so that there will be no scene of rabbit death and dog cooking.

Therefore, it is also the vicious circle caused by this system that worsens the situation of Daming to today. Chen YingYuan knows these things very well. He hates this system, but he is helpless and full of powerlessness.

He has the intention to do things, but he is ridiculed as a mediocre and incompetent person. He has studied hard for ten years, won the gold list and won the first prize in high school. He has thought of using his talents to rule the country and the world and become a generation of famous officials. But now all he can do is an old oilman in the officialdom, who has become the most despised and hated by himself.

Chen YingYuan had no choice but to write to the imperial court and ask for help. Since he was powerless in this office, he had to write to resign.

This is the only way for him to retreat. He doesn't want to die in this position directly like his predecessor. Now that he finds that things can't be done, he simply retreats in a hurry, or he can get a whole body and save his reputation.

Chen YingYuan thought about it too. Now it's the new year's day in a few days. Most of the government departments are ready to seal and take a rest. His letter to the court is expected to be approved. However, after a set of procedures, it is estimated that it has been eight years of Chongzhen. He will retire as governor and go directly back to the countryside to pick chrysanthemums under the East fence, See Nanshan leisurely.

However, it once again confirms that there are no secrets in Daming. The bigger the government, the more a sieve.

The governor wrote a letter of resignation, sealed it with his official seal and sent it out by post. The news spread all over the governor's Yamen, the three eastern prefectures and the officialdom of Shandong.

The governor was originally a cold stove, but now no one will burn it.

Liu Yuanqiao is one of the first people to get to the news. After all, he is a disinterested person. He has always had an eye liner in the governor's Yamen. His eye liner will send this matter to him as quickly as possible.

Hearing the governor's resignation, he was not surprised. If he was like him, he probably chose the same method. Since he had no choice but to use it effectively, why not retreat in a hurry? It's also a way.

However, after Governor Chen YingYuan left office, the power vacuum caused by him was what these ambitious people wanted to consider.

Now it is approaching the twelfth lunar month. After the twelfth lunar month, they begin to prepare to seal the official seal and take a rest for the new year. That is to say, all things can be handled only after the eighth year of Chongzhen and reopening the seal.

Liu Yuanqiao could not avoid customs. After arranging the affairs related to the Yamen and the left behind personnel during the new year, he sealed his official seal and returned to his hometown for the new year.

If it's other prefects, they can't go home for the new year. They are still in office for the new year, but Liu Yuanqiao is slightly different. He works in his hometown, that is, he has a trip of more than one day. It's so close that it's a little unfilial not to go home for the new year.

Not only did Liu Yuanqiao seal his official seal and go home for the new year, but Liu bu also made enough arrangements and went back to the Liu family's mansion in Fushan for the new year.

This is the first year since he got married and the first year since his rebirth, which makes him full of expectations.

When Liu Bu returned to the Liu family's mansion, the Liu family's mansion had been redecorated, dressed in red and decorated with colors. It was very lively and festive. In fact, after their last marriage, many things were not removed at all. They were ready-made. They just changed the couplets. The former couplets were used for marriage. Now the couplets are used to receive blessings in the spring, but they are the same festive, Red lanterns, children running around from time to time, and the sound of firecrackers from time to time are full of a festive atmosphere.

When Liu Bu returned home, his father Liu Yuanqiao also came back. When he was in the concierge, he saw his father Liu Yuanqiao's horse team. He also arrived that day.

When Liu Bu arrived, he was immediately invited to discuss major issues in Liu Yuanqiao's study.

Liu Yuanqiao is drinking hot tea in his study. He has just arrived. He has just changed his official clothes and Yanju's leisure clothes. Then he is reading. Liu Bu arrives.

Liu Bu sat down respectfully after paying homage with a big ceremony. Liu Yuanqiao first asked him about his military training and armaments. When their father and son talked, it was inevitable that they were talking about the resignation of Denglai Governor Chen YingYuan, which is the biggest problem in the east third house.

Liu Bu said, "Chen YingYuan, a hollow official, has left. I don't know which adult will be appointed. Dad, do you have a chance?"

Liu Yuanqiao said: "at present, there should be no opportunity. Dad's birth is doomed to be difficult to keep the shepherd. Unless there are very special circumstances, there will be no exception."

Liu bu also asked casually. He has been reborn for nearly half a year. He also knows the rules of this era. This era is basically similar to that of the great Song Dynasty, that is, those who are not born with Jinshi are not allowed to be beautiful officials. To put it bluntly, they are not born with Jinshi. It is impossible for you to be a better official. His current position is the peak of his official career.

Liu bu also felt a little pity. If his father could become governor Denglai, their Liu family could go to a higher level, but it was impossible to think about it. His father's position had just been obtained. It can only be said that his ass had just been hot.

Moreover, governor Denglai is a third-class, but the highest official in the local area. He is a fourth grade magistrate who wants to seek this position, and his seniority is too shallow. This is his father's hard injury. If he doesn't have these hard injuries, he may be able to make a difference by taking some money to run in the court.

Liu Bu said, "father, who do you think is most likely to take over?"

Liu Yuanqiao said: "there are a lot of people looking at the position of governor Denglai, but those who have strength are just those. Now the place is in chaos, and it is unlikely that the imperial court will be transferred from other places. They will only be elected from local officials."

Liu Bu said: "the most likely local official is Lao Yongjia, the left political envoy of Shandong. Lin Ruonan also has the opportunity. After all, he also has a title of right political participation in Shandong. The teacher is Wen Tiren, the capital of today. It is still possible to go further."

Liu Yuanqiao said, "your analysis is good. My father thinks so. The biggest possibility is that it is produced by the two of them."

Liu Bu thought it was wrong. He said, "Dad, we must stop this. Whether Lord Lao or Lord Lin, the relationship with our Liu family is very bad. When they come, they won't do anything else except to suppress our Liu family. It's just uncomfortable for us."

Liu Yuanqiao said: "it has been done, but in the end, it should still be produced between the two."

Liu Bu felt a little disappointed and worried about the future when his father said this. Although the Liu family said such a beautiful scene, governor Denglai was their political enemy and still strongly targeted them, which was not a good thing for them.

Liu was full of worry, but Liu Yuanqiao thought he had nothing to worry about. He said, "our Liu family is almost a general trend. Whoever is governor Denglai must act according to our face, otherwise he won't be an official."

Liu Bu saw his father speak with such confidence. He said, "what should we do?" these days, after all, we are not afraid of officials. Of course, the governor is their immediate boss. He asks them to wear small shoes and be sad for them, which is a one sentence thing.

Liu Yuanqiao said: "no matter who comes to Denglai, if he wants to do something, he must mobilize local forces. If he wants to mobilize local forces, it is impossible without our nod."

Liu Buhe said: "these two are different. Chen YingYuan is the political enemy of Lord Wen and is suppressed by Lord Wen everywhere. Lao Yongjia and Lin Ruonan have a very close relationship with Mr. Wen. One is his hometown and the other is his sitting disciple. He will certainly pay full support. With the full support of the imperial court, it is expected that our Liu family will be suppressed."

Liu Yuanqiao drank tea leisurely and said, "don't worry. No matter who comes here without the support of our Liu family, he can't be governor Denglai."

Liu Bu was relieved to see that his father spoke with such confidence. His father was a strong man in politics, but he was very skillful. All those who played with him were killed and used by him. He didn't know what tricks he would do this time.
