Chapter 504 Who is crazy
The Liaoyang inspector's yamen has always been deserted in front of the gate, which has nothing to do with Xie Hong, because this situation has not been a day or two, and it has always been like this long before Xie Hong entered the court. In the second year of Zhizhengde, and the influence brought by Xie Hong was just a way to transform from a place where birds could not shit.
The fundamental reason is the limitation of the inspector's own responsibilities.
The inspector and the governor are only one word different, and they are both appointed by the censor of the Censorate, but the difference in responsibilities is huge.
Although the customization period was still short, according to the regulations of the court, the governor was a local official who took charge of military and political affairs in a province. He had extremely heavy power and responsibilities and could be called a chief official of the border.
The inspectors are different. The main responsibility of this official position is to monitor the local area and monitor whether local officials have made mistakes. They perform the duties of the censor, and the only difference is the location and object.
During the founding of the People's Republic of China, the target of the inspection was not only civil and military, but all local officials were within the scope of his impeachment. However, since civil engineering, the status of military officers has dropped rapidly and gradually lost the value of being impeached.
If you think about it carefully, this is the case. Civil officials regard military officials as pigs and dogs. After being suppressed for so long, most military officials have accepted their fate. Not to mention fighting against civil officials, even confrontation between words is quite rare.
For example, in the Xuanfu that day, General Zhang Jun knew that the Tartars were setting up an ambush, but under the command of Governor Li Jin, he rushed up without hesitation, like a horse with eyes on his eyes.
If you rush up, you will be defeated, you will even have your life worries, you will be impeached afterwards, and you may be dismissed from office. Of course, the consequences are very serious; but if you disobey the governor's order, the consequences are even more serious. Zhang Jun knew very well that he did not want to be executed by the nine clans, so he could only rush up with his eyes closed.
Civil officials just wanted to suppress military officers, not to drive away military generals. Without these to drive them, would it be possible for adults to train their own troops or even lead them to battle? Of course not!
The style of Confucian generals is to sit firmly in the tent of the army and plan in a strategic manner. Of course, Confucian generals are also ordinary people, so there is inevitably an omission. Zhuge Wuhou also lost Jieting. Adults occasionally get ambushed or something is nothing. Who made Zhang Jun, like Ma Su, lack of martial arts and less intelligent?
Of course, no one has ever considered how Ma Su could withdrew Sima Yi's 100,000 troops; and after Zhang Jun was in trouble, why could not fight back and turn defeat into victory? No one has ever thought about it. He was just a vulgar general.
Therefore, when the purpose of suppressing military generals was achieved, the civil officials lost interest in military generals and instead became enthusiastic about fighting with the emperor and eunuchs. After suppressing these two, they had to fight themselves.
This is also the embarrassing point of Liaodong’s inspection. The Censorate was originally an institution for civil officials to investigate, and its main target was actually the scholars and officials themselves.
It was too late to build a town in Liaodong, but it was desolate at first, and there were not many people. Apart from building border walls and deducting military pay, there was no place for oil and water. Of course, the civil officials would not like it very much, so this has always been a place where civil officials disappeared.
Because of this, except for the governor, the inspectors could hardly find other targets. What can officials with too low positions be impeached? A memorial was handed over, and neither the emperor nor the cabinet master knew who it was. What effect does this impeachment have?
Generals? Stop talking nonsense. What are the things that those vulgar people can do to impeach? After the blast, no one is interested in the vacant position. Could it be that the inspectors should serve as part-time?
Besides, although the rules and regulations impeach civil and military officials, who can afford to impeach military generals in this world today? Speaking a military general is like scolding a family livestock seriously, and it is not embarrassing to say it.
Even if you are not in the capital and cannot reach the emperor, you have to find other famous people to scold you, such as the governor. Of course, the governor is also a colleague of the Censorate. If you are familiar with it, it is difficult to speak. Even if you have the nerve to speak, you cannot curse it all.
With all the reasons together, the Liaodong inspection became such a lonely yamen. Even if a heavyweight impeachment target appeared, the situation did not change, but became even more serious.
Who is the champion Hou? In the Shilin, he is known as the number one jester of the Ming Dynasty. It is not easy to impeach him? If he is in the capital and the prosperous places in the Central Plains, whoever wants to impeach him does not need to observe him nearby. He just needs to walk around the street and have enough materials when he comes back.
Therefore, there are too many people impeaching the champion Hou. Chen Shiliang, who is closest, is not allowed to join the account. Especially after the governor took office, he stayed in the mansion almost every day and did not go out. Chen Xunzhang really couldn't collect the materials.
Of course, it is useless to collect it. People are big shots who are not afraid of biting because of too many lice. How could Chen Xunzhang take this little flea seriously? Even if he sent people to follow him openly and secretly every day, the governor's yamen ignored it at all.
Chen Shiliang knew very well that this was not because he was afraid of it, but because he didn't take him seriously at all, and it was a complete contempt.
After June, this was fully verified. After a long time, the champion Hou in the Governor's yamen was fake. He had already gone to Jinzhou. After a series of accidents such as the new policy and the land reclamation order, he actually patted his butt and went out to sea.
Chen Shiliang also received the news in the past few days. The news was sent with the big bosses in the court, fellow Jiangnan, Shilin celebrities, and justice-minded people from all walks of life.
In this regard, those who say that he is neglecting his duties and are in a bare position are already polite; they are generally scolding him for being in a slander and slander; those who are more powerful are even more indifferent to words, and many of them are just slandering Xie Hong's routine, allowing him to enjoy the treatment of the first celebrity in front of him.
He could understand the anger of these people. For a long time, the remarks he had given to the court were Xie Hong who had fun in the mansion every day, and those who were doing things against him outside were all his subordinates, which was not worth worrying.
As a result, the news that Xie Hong made in Liaodong was earth-shaking, and he finally went overseas and even gave Japan a route. What's the matter? How can scholars in the world not be angry?
But can he blame him for this? He just wanted to go to the governor's office to squat and keep an eye on him. Who would have thought that he hadn't come to Liaoyang at all?
Besides, among the robbed maritime merchants, there is also a share of the Chen family! After losing money, he lost his reputation, and was looked down upon by his fellow Shilin...
Don’t mention the pain in Chen Xunzhang’s heart. He felt that the feeling of being uninhabited inside and outside was not human. If he had to compare, there would be a similar sadness to him, which was Jiang Gan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
This senior was also despised in Jiangdong, and even played tricks. Finally, he returned to Cao's camp, helped Jiangdong kill Cai Mao, and finally beat Huang Gai's counter-espionage plan... He was the kind of person who was slapped in the face and was praised by others. He was so stupid that he was so stupid that he was just the same as Chen.
Scholars generally like Guan Zhong, Le Yi, and Chen Shiliang to compare themselves with Jiang Gan, which shows how painful he is.
Alas! Is it hard or not? Think about Chen Shiliang from Liaodong...
Well, no matter how hard you suffer, you have to survive strongly. Chen Shiliang was strong and sent countless sent-up detectives to the Jinzhou momo's enemy, so he could also lose his merits.
He thought, since Xie Hong was not here, and the Jinzhou group of dragons had no leader, there must be some opportunity to take advantage of it, right?
The result was once again disappointed him. Most of the sentry sent out were sank to the sea, and a few smart people didn't even pass by Fuzhou. They watched their colleagues jump into the fire pit and found that no one came back, so they ran away.
Chen Shiliang couldn't even scold him, so he could only comfort himself. It would be better if there were a few clever ones, it was better than having all gone without a word...
At the same time, he was also frightened.
Most of the spies he sent were from Liaodong. In theory, there would be no pressure to get into Liaonan or even Jinzhou, but who would have thought that no one left was taken down by someone. Isn’t this mean that Jinzhou is now a solid piece?
Moreover, this trend is still spreading. At present, spies are struggling in southern Liaoning. According to Yang Haoran's attitude of bowing to the governor's yamen, will it be far away in Liaozhong or even in northern Liaoning?
Chen Shiliang looked around, but was confused and helpless.
The scholars in the capital and Jiangnan were shouting, but who had the courage to roar, saying that he dared to come to Liaodong to fight with the plague god in close combat? If so, Chen would immediately abdicate and give in to the wise, even if he was dismissed from office, he would be willing to do so.
This place in Liaodong is really a place! Overnight, several major generals surrendered to Xie Hong. What he could control was just his small yamen.
Nowadays, when the local officials and even soldiers in the yamen look at him, their eyes are flashing. Chen Shiliang is too lazy to think about whether there are spies among them.
What he was sure of was that if the Governor's yamen issued an order and said that he would tie himself up and he could divide dozens of acres of wasteland. Maybe he would be in the prison of the Governor's yamen that night. Well, maybe it might be a mass grave.
If he hadn't dared to be timid, he would even want to run to Ningyuan and leave. At least Liaoxi is still a pure land. He has a keen eye to recognize talents. Zu Dahuan is indeed worthy of being behind the general. Under such a difficult situation, he still stabilized the situation and gave Liaodong the last glimmer of hope.
However, as Jinzhou opened its sea, the significance of western Liaoning gradually faded and even began to disappear.
What to do? The weather was just right that morning, but Chen Shiliang's mood was dark, and he sat in the lobby of the yamen to sigh.
He sat for two or three hours. Even after lunch time, the sky began to become heavy. He didn't notice it and kept his original sitting position.
"Master, something big happened, it's not good, oh, no, it's a great thing, well, it's not right..." At this moment, someone rolled in and crawled in, and his words were incoherent.
Chen Shiliang was furious and pointed at the man and shouted angrily: "Chen Sheng! You damn slave, you dare to come and have fun with me? I can't deal with the plague god, can't deal with you?"
"How dare you spend the fun of the master? Master, there is really something big. The general of the Liaoxi ancestral governor is waiting outside to see you." Chen Sheng was so scared that he was so angry that the master was in full swing. If he led the fire to him, he would be dead without a place to die.
"Is Zu Dahuan here? Is there a big deal in western Liaoning?" Chen Shiliang grabbed his beard and asked in surprise: "What is it? You will say good things at a time and bad things at a time. Let me explain it to the master as soon as possible!"
Liaoxi was his last little support, so he couldn't help but be nervous. Chen Shiliang also knew something about the undercurrents surging between the lower-level military households and generals. Once an accident occurred there...
Even if the governor Xie Hong takes some responsibility, how could the other party’s holy relatives move him at all? Instead, he gave the other party the opportunity to intervene in Liaoxi and take him into his pocket.
"Master, it may be a good thing for you, our Chen family, and the world..." Chen Sheng looked outside the door, lowered his voice, and said seriously: "But it may not be a good thing for the Zushen General and the others in Liaodong."
"Bang!"
Knowing that Chen Sheng is his own son, he will not mislead or even betray him. Hearing this, Chen Shiliang's heart suddenly became itchy and slapped the other party. He also asked in a low voice: "You dare to keep me from me? Chen Sheng, you are becoming more and more presumptuous."
"Damn it, lord, listen to me..." The slap was not heavy, not because Chen Shiliang had no strength, he was just pretending to be angry and his mood was getting better. Chen Sheng has been with him since he was a child, so there is no reason to see it? He smiled and said, "Western Liaoning suffered hail, and all the crops were hit in the ground, and there was no harvest!"
"Hiss..." Chen Shiliang was startled. It was the first time he had heard of such a big famine. He had been in Liaodong for so long. He hesitated and said: "Which good thing is this? If it is almost the same in southern Liaoning, but western Liaoning..."
"Master, don't worry, look up and look at this day..."
"Heaven?" Chen Shiliang looked up as he said, but he saw that the sky had darkened at some point. The dark clouds were coming from the west, and the dark clouds were crushing the city. Could it be... a thought flashed through his mind that made him unbelievable.
"Master, I just inquired about it. This is the scene in southern Liaoning. The news has spread. The old farmers in the fields are screaming, saying that the hailstones in western Liaoning have not been fully washed, and they will have another battle in southern Liaoning, or even in Liaodong..." Chen Shengyin smiled and continued: "Haha, Master, do you think, isn't this a good thing?"
"Of course... it's a great thing!" Chen Shiliang jumped up suddenly, as if he was twenty years younger, and walked around the hall like the wind, while laughing wildly.
"Hahaha, it turns out that God has eyes. The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty appeared, and the ancestors and saints were angry. Then they reduced the punishment of heaven and wanted to kill the slander. Yes, it was the punishment of heaven! This was the punishment of heaven! Hahaha, that disaster is finally full of evil!"
Chen Xunzhang's crazy laughter came back in the inspector's yamen. He could hear clearly inside and outside the yamen, and even Zu Dahuan, who was full of sorrow, raised his head.
He knew the reason why Chen Shiliang was happy, but he couldn't be happy at all when he thought of the tragic situation in western Liaoning. Liaodong suffered a disaster that was rare in a century. He didn't know whether this incident would make Xie Hong unable to recover, but he knew that many people would starve to death, very, very many, and western Liaoning was the first to be affected!
