Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 595

What is the patrol censor?The censor does not need to explain, but "Xunyan" needs to be explained. Xunyan means "divided inspection and governance".This position has been set up since Hongwu 17th. His identity is the supervisory censor, and he is dispatched by "Xunguan". According to whether the position of the provincial road is important or not, it is divided into three types: "big difference", "middle difference" and "small difference". .

Generally speaking, each difference lasts for one year, and is calculated based on the time of arrival and departure, and the travel expenses are not included.The Metropolitan Procuratorate will inspect whether they are competent when they go back to Beijing, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will go to the imperial court to make an order. Every time two people are selected to go to the imperial court, one person will be appointed by the emperor. After the errands are completed, they will return to Beijing and report directly to the emperor. The Metropolitan Procuratorate reported.Therefore, although the patrol censor was inspected by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was not counted as an official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and had a high degree of independence.

And the reason why Gao Yushi was so surprised when he heard that he was promoted by Wang Guoguang as Guangxi Xunyan Yushi, and even worried that he would provoke public anger, was because the power of Xunyan Yushi had been continuously expanding from the early Ming Dynasty to the present.

Especially as the governor has gradually become the highest executive of a province, and because the governor has the authority to supervise even the governor, some strong governors can even force the governor to retreat. [Note: In the 12th year of Wanli in history, the imperial court once again stated that "the governor lives in the Xun, and the patrol is the main picket", and the two are prohibited from "repeating each other to invade Vietnam". ]
In fact, the governor is officially called the governor's censor. Generally speaking, they are senior officials of the third and fourth ranks. In terms of title, they are the superiors of the governor.Therefore, the official document from the governor to the governor is called "Zhafu", while the official document from the governor to the governor can only be called "Gucheng".Governor, according to the political affairs of the meeting, the governor is seated, and the governor is seated next to him.This kind of superior-subordinate relationship was affirmed by the court during the Hongzhi Dynasty.

But in the Jiajing period, things began to change. At first, the inspectors called themselves "Qian Zuo", and later even began to have equal relations with the governors, calling each other "servants and teachers". The governor had no choice but to obey orders.

Therefore, the current inspectors are majestic in the local area. From the chief envoys of the second rank to the inspectors of the seventh rank, many of them even call themselves subordinates. There is the principle of "control the big with the small" in the Ming Dynasty. was played to the extreme.So Gao Yushi was very shocked that he would be selected as a candidate for the imperial censor—am I really being demoted?

He has a vague feeling that Guo Pu's recent performance is a bit different from the past. In the past, he always took stability as the prerequisite for doing things, but recently, his actions have been obviously radical, as if he couldn't wait to push himself to a high position. .

Is the teacher really determined to retire?
"President Xian, this junior has something bad to say and ask Yuanfu directly, I wonder if I can ask you a question or two?" Gao Wushi finally couldn't help asking.

Seeing his serious face, Wang Guoguang gradually restrained his smile, nodded and said, "If you don't understand anything, just ask, and the old man who can answer will try his best to answer you."

"Has Yuanfu already decided to retire at seventy?"

Wang Guoguang sighed, and said with a wry smile: "No wonder Yuan Fu said that he might not be able to hide it from you, did you really see it?"

Gao Yushi's expression changed.

Wang Guoguang shook his head and said, "Not only Yuansuke, but the old man will start begging for bones next year... This old man is only one year younger than Yuansuke." He looked into Gao Yushi's eyes: "Now you know why Yuansuke and this old man Are you going to push you to the position of inspector of a province?"

Gao Wushi was a little confused. Mr. Guo refused to let his reputation be damaged for many years, and he insisted on retiring as usual when he reached [-] years old. This matter has a big impact.Although it is customary for his uncle to succeed him as chief assistant after he takes office, his uncle's foundation lies in the Jin Party, which is only a branch of the Gao Party. It is hard to say how much support he will receive from the Gao Party.

And there is also a hidden worry that Zhang Siwei's health has not been very good. Li Shizhen said that he "has been ill for a long time and lost money", unless he takes a rest and slowly recovers, and there should not be too many emotional ups and downs. In this way, for three to five years, Might be able to recover.

But how could Zhang Siwei stop now and raise him for three to five years?

Therefore, Gao Wushi was very worried that if Zhang Siwei died, Gao Dang would be directly at a disadvantage in the cabinet.

At present, apart from Guo Pu and Zhang Siwei, the remaining three people in the cabinet are Shen Shixing, Yu Youding, and Xu Guo. Among them, only Xu Guo is a member of the Gao Party, and he is from Shexian County in Nanzhili. Deep, there is no guarantee that he will not simply vote for the Xinxue Party because of the deterioration of the situation.

And now Wang Guoguang also said that he will retire in two years at the latest, and the key position of Zuodu Yushi may also be lost...

Under the prosperity of the high party, there is such a big hidden worry!

Gao Yushi felt a bit of a headache. It seems that the plan he made back then can be managed for ten years!Even if Guo Pu and Zhang Siwei temporarily recommended one or two high-ranking parties to join the cabinet before retiring, I am afraid that Shen Shixing and others will hold power for at least several years.

Guo Pu must have discovered this problem, so he tried every means to improve his status recently... After serving as a patrol censor, the next step is not to mention being a governor, but it is definitely more than enough to be a soldier.

Mr. Guo and Mr. Wang are paving the way for themselves at the last time of their political careers.

What else can Gao Pragmatic say?He could only salute Wang Guoguang respectfully, and said: "Your junior understands, thank you for the great attention given to him by the President, and you dare not do your best?"

Wang Guoguang said with satisfaction: "Originally, Yuanfu and the old man decided not to explain the reason to you because they didn't want you to have too much pressure, but since you understand it yourself, then forget it. However, the old man still hopes that you can Be calm and don't make too many moves to prove yourself.

You have been demoted to three ranks this time, although Yuanfu and the old man have used it to allow you to hold a lot of power because of the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager Rensheng, but right now you really can't find a better job... Guangxi has been in chaos for more than ten years In the early days, Tongxi rioters emerged one after another, emerging in endlessly, and even King Gui's palace fell twice.After you go, you must stabilize the situation and don't raise troops indiscriminately... Even if you want to raise troops, don't lead them yourself. Anyway, you are a patrol officer and a supervisor. If you win, you can't get away with your credit. If you lead troops to attack, it will be hard to explain if you lose. "

In the battle of the whole province, the patrol will definitely be the supervisor, and it can only be the supervisor.But that's just a theory. In fact, with the current power of the provincial patrols, if you have to order the deployment of troops, how can those generals and generals dare not listen?Whether it's their evaluations or meritorious deeds, the inspector's comments are more important than the governor's comments.

Because the governors have been in office for a long time, the imperial court is worried that they will form an interest combination with the local generals. Generally speaking, the governors only serve for one year. Of course, the imperial court is much more relieved and trustworthy.

Gao Wuzhen doesn't know much about the situation in Guangxi now, so he can only agree first.

Wang Guoguang said: "Tomorrow, the old man will take you to meet His Majesty... In fact, this matter is just a formality, the emperor will definitely pick you, maybe there is something else to tell you."

Gao Wushi smiled and said nothing.
