Liu Yuanqiao has planned so much and done so many shady things to become governor Denglai. At this moment, he is also in line with his duty and is directly ready to go.
He also has two plans. One is to let him sit as governor of Denglai and become the leader of one side through local selection and the planning of the imperial court. On the other hand, if the promotion of the imperial court cannot be passed, he will control Denglai in the form of secret control and control the military and political power of Denglai town. Anyway, he has planned so many plans, and this is the end of the matter, They have finished controlling the overall situation. They have soldiers and money in their hands. It can be said that no one can stop them.
It can be said that if Liu Yuanqiao said no, no matter who came to Denglai Town, he could not be the governor.
Like the previous two governors, they both died.
He Liu Zeqiao is an octahedral Buddha, but a powerful person. Once he is cruel, no one can stop him.
In his words, that's what I want. No one can stop it.
Therefore, Liu Yuanqiao also felt that he was a bit responsible. Encouraged by the squires, he entered Dengzhou and directly worked in the Dengzhou governor's Yamen. Even if the imperial court did not give him the position of Denglai governor, he would also control the economic power here. In the future, even if the governor came, he had to obey his orders, otherwise he would not be an official.
And this time he also won the strong support of the local squires and big men, because the local squires also knew that even if the imperial court sent a satisfactory governor, even if he had a good origin and a good rank of middle Jinshi, how many people could have the means of youyuanqiao and the ruling ability of Liu Yuanqiao.
Now that things have come to this stage, a situation has been created, that is, Dengzhou has left Liu Yuanqiao, and no one can play, because he has basically mastered the military and political power of Dengzhou, as well as the economic power. His status and influence here can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai and incomparable.
First of all, no one can shake their control over the army. It can be said that the military and political power of Dengzhou has completely fallen into their hands.
No matter who is the governor, it is estimated that they will face a problem, that is, they can't command the army and have no money and food. The Liu family is different. They have money and food. The squires see that they are ambitious because the Liu family spent so much money on disaster relief this time, I also know that they are willing to spend money for the people.
The bottom line of the Liu family is that when they ask for money, they will give people a way to live. Unlike Chen YingYuan and Deng Bingwen, they just want to claim power and don't give others a way to live.
In this case, the local officials and gentry of Dengzhou represented by Jing Yungong came to a conclusion that only Liu Yuanqiao could serve as governor of Denglai to revitalize Dengzhou and restore it to the past.
And they didn't say it on the surface, but in front of Liu Yuanqiao, they wrote to their old friends in the capital one after another, asking them to say good words for the Liu family and build momentum for him.
Liu Yuanqiao has some layout. If these measures are added, he is likely to fully realize his dream.
However, he was worried that he would go too far and mobilize so many things. At that time, would the emperor be suspicious of him? You know, the Emperor didn't like local officials with too high prestige.
The court has always been so embarrassed in this regard, that is, it not only hopes that local officials can control everything and dominate the overall situation, but also does not want their prestige to be too high and affect the imperial power.
The Liu family is a native family. Their family is rooted in Denglai area. As the top dignitaries in Denglai area, they have a great influence in the local area. If they are appointed as the top military and political leaders, it means that their power in this place will be further expanded, and infinitely expanded.
This should be what the officials and ministers in the court are worried about.
However, there are not many choices for the imperial court. After all, Dengzhou just came out of the plight of civil commotion, and it also needs a strong person to rectify and restore Dengzhou. There is no doubt that if Liu Yuanqiao is not allowed to intervene in this matter, he can no longer take out money and resources to support the recovery of Dengzhou.
It is precisely because of this that the dignitaries in Dengzhou hope that the Liu family will intervene in Dengzhou affairs and help Dengzhou restore the old view.
Last year, the Liu family spent a lot of money on local disaster relief, which was a bit of a bribe for the imperial court and was easy to be said ill. However, in the eyes of local squires and people, this is the charity of ten thousand Living Buddhas. All people hope that the Liu family can regard Dengzhou as their sphere of influence, and they will go all out to operate here.
For this reason, the local people of Dengzhou agreed to let the Liu family intervene here as governor of Denglai.
At this time, Liu Yuanqiao is almost popular. You should know that the previous two governors died unexpectedly and died during their term of office. I believe that other people who are able to compete for this position will also face a choice dilemma. That is, many people will understand that the Liu family regards Denglai as a thing in their pocket. Whoever dares to come will attract the Liu family's revenge and targeting, This place is a fertile and good place for the Liu family, but for other people who are capable of serving as the governor, the world is so big that it is not good to be an official. Why go to this difficult and dangerous place.
Because several successive governor Denglai had accidents, which also made governor Denglai a dangerous career. He didn't dare to go to Liangshan without three-thirds, and didn't have extraordinary skills. He really didn't dare to take this position. Only Liu Yuanqiao, a big tiger sitting on the ground, dared to have such pride. If senior officials in the court were allowed to do it, no one would dare to rob this position.
Sure enough, after the court received the news that the new governor Lin Ruonan was killed on the way to Jinan, the court was very shocked, but they immediately began to discuss who would be the new governor.
Generally speaking, the governor of a place has always been the prey of competition among major parties and leaders, and the hot fat meat. But this time, there was some accident, that is, there was no competition at all, and no one expressed interest. Everyone reacted coldly to the matter, and some showed a negative side.
Whether it is the official department, the imperial court or the nomination of the cabinet, there are no strong and powerful people. You know, with Lin Ruonan, three governors have died in three years and died in office. Such a fierce place is really dangerous. Why should smart people lie in such muddy water, such a dangerous place? Therefore, after receiving the recommendation of the Ministry of officials, these qualified officials declined one after another, and said that their ability was not competent, which made the Ministry of officials and the cabinet very embarrassed and lose face.
There is also the emperor's majesty. Emperor Chongzhen can't help but lament that the Ming Empire today has a feeling that the sun is setting and the twilight is difficult to shake. What an earth shaking event that a dignified governor was killed on his way to office. As a result, the local government can't find out anything. When a governor was killed there, no one cares, In the end, even if the Ministry of punishment sent a Commissioner to investigate, nothing could be found.
Emperor Chongzhen could not help but lament that even the governor was so. Where did the civilians come from?
However, at this time, they came a great news, that is, Dengzhou guerrilla General Liu Bu led his troops to quickly return to Dengzhou, which calmed down the civil unrest in one day. At the same time, Liu Yuanqiao, the governor of Laizhou, transported a large amount of food to appease the place and quickly stabilize the place.
This is the most favorable news for the imperial court recently. Recently, the news the imperial court received was nothing more than where was occupied by exile bandits, where was occupied by JianNu, and where was occupied by rebels. The officials and troops were able to successfully recover the lost land, and all of them withdrew. This time, the officials and troops were able to recover Dengzhou in a few days and calm the civil unrest, At the same time, Liu Yuanqiao, governor of Laizhou, also transported a large amount of grain to stabilize the place, which is great news.
Since then, Liu Yuanqiao has officially come into the sight of all leaders and won the official nomination of the Ministry of officials.
At this time, Liu Yuanqiao was a capable person in front of the court leaders. He was a person with outstanding means and excellent local governance. Only his own Laizhou government in the East Third government was safe, did not attract a civil uprising, and was able to help other places, which proved his ability.
But the only fly in the ointment is his birth. His birth is just a supervisor. The supervisor's birth is already a high-level match for the magistrate. If he is made governor again, it is completely inconsistent with the rules formed for hundreds of years.
After discussion, they couldn't come up with a proper method. Instead, they had several people of good origin. Their article morality was very good and their reputation was very good. They were very suitable to serve as the new governor of Denglai, but they were not interested in it and declined one after another.
When the imperial court pushed the official position, it also contacted the other party. It was hoped that the other party would recommend it only if he was willing to take over. What they feared most was the person recommended by the official department. The other party was not interested, so they would communicate privately. As a result, this time, the other party was not interested at all.
This made the Ministry of officials very embarrassed. They couldn't find a suitable candidate, so they had to recommend Liu Yuanqiao, making him the only recommender.
