Chapter Nine Little Cui loses his official position

Song Jing maintained his saint-like words and deeds for a long time, and Emperor Wu also looked at this person a few times, but after he entered Beijing, he lived in the house arranged by the prince-consort. Emperor Wu still had some grudges about this person. He arranged for Song Jing a lot of work, but no matter how good Song Jing did, he had never been promoted and had a little reward.

Perhaps, he is still in the assessment period, and whether he can be reused depends on whether the people in the court are willing to speak for him. Of course, this official position is not small, so it is impossible to be promoted so easily.

However, it was said that Xiao Cui entered Luoyang as the county magistrate. In less than a few days, Cui Xuan arrived. Luoyang is different from a remote village. There are many people who know Cui Xuan, so he dare not handle political affairs on behalf of Xiao Cui at will. Cui Cha also intends to let Cui Xuan avoid it. It is just that Cui Xuan wants to do something, so he occasionally handles some documents. Di Renjie has visited the county government twice, but he has not seen Cui Xuan. He only saw the two masters arranged by Cui Cha for Xiao Cui. Because Di Renjie wanted to persuade or study Xiao Cui, but he could not find any evidence. Cui Xuan intended to avoid it. If Di Renjie saw it, he might persuade him to be an official again. Knowing his personality, he could only stay away from him.

Cui Xuan has limited roles, and the two masters are somewhat unable to understand important and powerful relationships. Therefore, Xiao Cui is far less likely to deal with political affairs than in remote areas. For example, when a simple public dispute, the two masters think about mixing with each other. If Cui Xuan is aware of the right and wrong, the right and wrong can be quickly sorted out. As a result, both parties are convinced or clearly analyzing the wrong side, thus resolving the conflict, which turns the two parties feel humiliated. This decline in satisfaction is not a little bit.

But Xiao Cui was very nervous and could not understand the power of it. Lai Junchen was still evaluating whether to abandon this piece. If he abandoned it now, it would affect Cui Cha. If he let him continue like this, it would not take long to consume the reputation he had accumulated before, and how much he could hide for him under the feet of the Emperor of Luoyang.

Lai Junchen was still hesitating, but Xiao Cui made a choice himself.

A rich young man was a ignorant and ignorant person. He was an official outside and had no convenient place to enjoy himself and did not do his job properly. After returning to the capital, he became more and more powerful. After he became an official, he had a salary, so Cui Cha no longer distributed money and food to him. However, if he lost the bet, he would not be able to give up. He had to use the capital to try his luck. Especially now, unlike the past, Cui was still quite tight.

But it doesn't matter. The county government has money and the key is in his pocket.

While Cui Xuan and his two masters were not around after get off work, Mr. Cui took a few bosses and a few of their friends to move out of the taxes paid by the people in the county government, with money and food. They just embezzled it. When they go home next time, they can get some money and pay it back.

Luoyang has very thin walls that cannot block the greedy hearts of people.

The person who knew about this reported it to Liu Rengui. The aristocratic family represented by Cui Cha did not dare to compete with Emperor Wu, so he was naturally hated by Liu Rengui, the prince's faction. Liu Rengui immediately sent Yao Chong to do the matter well.

Yao Chong directly took people to seize the treasury that night and captured Mr. Cui and a group of merchants. The county government is also considered a national treasury, all of which are civilian fat and paste. He did business and did it all. What else do you dare not do?

In the morning court, Emperor Wu learned that Mr. Cui owed gambling funds and used the national treasury to offset the treasury. "Is this the pillar talent you recommend? Even so, I don't know how many officials in the world are eating and drinking. From today on, we will strictly investigate the governors of each state, severely punish corruption, and never hire them after investigation. This matter will be handled by my dear ministers and will be assisted by the local officials. If there are officials who protect each other, severely punish them."

Lai Junchen responded happily, and another contribution was coming.

Emperor Wu's eyes glanced at Cui Cha a few times, and Cui Cha was so scared that he was out of his mind.

Cui Cha: "Your Majesty, the old minister is stupid and this son is lawless. It is all the bad things that the minister teaches his son. I also ask Your Majesty to punish the old minister."

Emperor Wu: "What crime does Cui Qing have for his son to serve the country? If this son does not improve, no wonder anyone. Now that such incidents have occurred in Luoyang, we should be punished according to the law. Cui Qing must not break the law according to the law."

Cui Cha cried so hard that he took out a letter, "Your Majesty, this son is young, just to borrow treasury supplies. The old minister has received his letter asking for money and no intention of embezzlement."

Emperor Wu: "If there is no report, I don't know how to fill the treasury deficit. Should I make a account? Use inferior products as good ones? Or how? Liu Aiqing, if you leave the tax account today, I think you should have checked it again. You should also take charge of the Ministry of Personnel to strictly investigate the tax for three years and check the treasury."

Liu Rengui made a list, "The old minister followed the order. Yao Chong, the new top scholar, was quick-thinking and good at arithmetic, and could assist the old minister."

Yao Chong was secretly happy, this was a good time.

Emperor Wu: "Authorize."

Chen Sanwen also immediately left the list, "Your Majesty, there are many accounts in the north and south. If Lord Liu and Lord Yao investigate it strictly, it may take a lot of time. The land in the north is fertile, the grain and food production are rich, and the accounts are complicated. The inspection must be Lord Liu. However, there are many products in the south, and the calculation and verification are time-consuming, and the accounts are relatively simple. Now our territory is vast and there are many prefectures and counties in the south. I think the accounts can be divided into two. The north is judged by Lord Liu, and the south can be appointed to handle it. One can quickly investigate, and the other can also better understand the government affairs situation in the south and promote some southern scholars. Song Jing, the chief of Luoyang, is loyal and honest, and has the name of a gentleman. He has served in the south for a long time. I recommend him to assist Lord Di in the inspection of the southern prefectures."

Seeing Emperor Wu's careful listening, Chen San asked and felt that this suggestion was almost certain.

Liu Rengui's eyes had been glaring at him for a few seconds, and Chen Sanwen turned a blind eye.

Liu Rengui: "Your Majesty, how can such important government affairs be divided at will? The north and south are the land of our dynasty. What is the difference? Can the prince-consort believe me? "

Chen San asked: "There is no such intention. It's just to share the worries of Your Majesty for Your Majesty. Lord Di is upright and Lord Liu must have trusted you. Things in the south will not disappoint you."

Liu Rengui: "In the current state affairs, I am naturally dedicated to it. Lord Di is busy with government affairs and lacks some experience in inspecting accounts. It is safer to be responsible for this matter."

Chen San asked: "Mr. Di checked accounts in Xiazhou and determined the right and wrong in Dali Temple, but he still had no shortage of experience. Mr. Liu held high as the prime minister and had heavy government affairs. This move can just share your worries."

I don’t know if there are talents in the world? You keep checking and checking. One day you are gone, will no one check it better? Is the old stubborn, Chen Sanwen whispered unscrupulously.

Emperor Wu heard that they had a fight and spoke slowly, "I also want to see the results of the account as soon as possible. According to Chen Qing, with the Yellow River as the boundary, the northern affairs shall be under Liu Qing and the southern affairs shall be under Di Qing."

Everyone continued to be speechless, but Di Renjie was in the middle of the storm and was very calm. This move was just Liu Rengui paving the way for Yao Chong. Chen Sanwen was so confident that he recommended Song Jing. You must know that Yao Chong had already reached the third place, and his social experience was far from comparable to Song Jing, a young young man. This was also in line with his desire to understand the chief of Luoyang, so Di Renjie accepted this flying errand.

Chen Sanwen understood in his heart that after Yao Chong received the great favor from Liu Rengui, he would inevitably be the right-hand assistant of Li Lun and Li Longji in the future. Naturally, he could not let Song Jing be buried, he could not compete with Yao Chong, and at least he could not fall behind too much. Otherwise, Song Jing's official position is much higher than Yao Chong. It would be nice to establish such a moral opponent to disgust Yao Chong and Liu Rengui.
