Fang Jue is quite interested in the situation in Suzhou.
I heard that the censor named Cai Yan stayed in Suzhou and temporarily acted as the governor of the state. I don't know how he did.
"Before He Feng left Suzhou, he arrested a group of corrupt officials for Cai Yan during the disaster relief work."
"However, the Qianhu generals who stayed behind in Suzhou did not dare to go too far to help Cai Yan. Although those people were detained, Cai Yan could not interrogate them at all."
"There are even people who have connections up and down, asking the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs to put pressure on Cai Yan."
Hearing these words, Fang felt angry but calm.
He has known for a long time that no matter how harsh the situation is, some people will take risks for the sake of profit.
What's more, when it comes to disaster relief, there are huge benefits hidden in every aspect that one can get involved in.
In the porridge shed, as long as the porridge is made thinner, it doesn't even need to be too thin so that no one can see the obvious difference... But in a few months, the person in charge can cut off more than 10% of the grain.
This is tens of thousands of taels of silver.
How many lifetimes do these small officials have to work as officials to earn this amount of salary?
How come no one is moved?
This time, Fang Jue planned to "pass by" Suzhou when he went back, and also planned to take care of this matter.
He is not just a general who conquers the north. The title of Young Master of Daxia is his biggest title at present.
This virtual title has little power, but as long as there are other real powers, this virtual title is very maneuverable.
"I heard that someone was planning to assassinate Cai Yan. Fortunately, there were experts protecting him secretly." Ye Hongyi looked at Fang Jue and told another piece of news.
Wei Feng was surprised: "Are they the masters sent by the general?"
Fang Jue smiled and nodded, this was indeed his arrangement.
"When I asked Bai Qing to go to Ningzhou, he left behind a few masters of the Xuanjian Division to secretly protect Cai Yan, otherwise he would have died long ago."
When He Feng was in Suzhou, those people did not dare to attack Cai Yan, fearing the power of the He family.
But once He Feng left, people who wanted Cai Yan dead suddenly jumped out.
"Master Cai is really an upright and loyal minister. Under his stewardship, Suzhou has gradually gained some vitality. I don't think your Majesty needs to send anyone else to take over, so let Cai Yan be the one to take over." Ye Hongyi smiled.
road.
Fang Jue also thought that Cai Yan was indeed capable and dared to do things, but he really had no backing.
Oh, now this thing is called political resources.
People like Cai Yan, no matter how capable they are, have to go through qualifications, and then when there is a shortage of censors, they have the opportunity to go to Beijing to be the censors in front of the palace.
The so-called censor in front of the palace refers to the censor officials in Taichung who are qualified to go to the palace to face the army and participate in worship.
These censors are different from those from other places. Everyone can be an iron-headed boy like Qin Shiyi. They have the right to participate in the music and can do too many things.
There are even those who are brave enough to read the Emperor's book.
Only after he became the censor in front of the palace, he had the opportunity to be favored by His Majesty, and he was transferred to a department with real power, and his official career could really open up.
To be a censor, there is only one way to advance.
"Mr. Cai's Geng Jie has become an incompetent person in the palace. Such a person should join the Yushitai and replace the role of Qi Jingchun." Fang Jue said seriously.
"Brother, do you want to find a job for Cai Yan?" Ye Hongyi was surprised. She rarely heard Fang Jue say that a certain person could be of great use, and he also showed such a tendency.
Wei Feng pretended not to care and secretly pricked up his ears, wanting to listen.
"Why should I find a job for him?"
Fang Jue said with a smile: "Don't forget, Qin Tietou, who holds the Emperor's Sword, is in Ganzhou now. Cai Yan's various contributions in Suzhou are invisible to others, but Qin Shiyi, who is also the Yushitai, can see
of."
Qin Tietou?
Wei Feng couldn't help but smile to himself when he heard the nickname given to Qin Shiyi by the general.
That Mr. Qin seems to be a really tough guy, and this name does not disgrace him.
"Yes, Qin Shiyi has always been loyal. If he is willing to raise his hand to Cai Yan, Cai Yan will definitely be promoted to several levels this time. He has a good chance of becoming a royal censor." Ye Hongyi nodded.
"But, will Mr. Qin be like this?"
"Qin Shiyi is not the kind of person who is jealous of talented people. Although he is stubborn and likes to complain, he will also be willing to say good things in front of the palace for those who have been investigated by him and have no problems. Otherwise, how can he have support in the court?
"
Everyone nodded.
This is indeed the case for Qin Shiyi. He complained not because of a villain mentality, but because he only recognized right and wrong.
The person such a person is willing to get close to must have a character worthy of recognition.
"General, the army has finished crossing the river." Cheng Jie came over and reported.
Fang Jue and others took the last boat and crossed the river with their horses.
Returning to Nan'an, the down-to-earth feeling made Fang feel much relieved.
He didn't get seasick in the first place, but the ships of this era were too insecure and rocked violently.
"Report..."
Just when Fang Jue was about to give the order and go straight to Suzhou, a messenger was brought.
"What's the matter?" Fang Jue was surprised. There shouldn't be any military affairs at this time and he needed to report urgently.
Both Linzhou and Tuzhou have been properly arranged, and Hanzhou and Shuangzhou are even more stable.
"This is the messenger from our Xuanjian Division." Ye Hongyi recognized on the spot that this was not a military messenger, but was wearing the official robe of the Xuanjian Division.
The chi dragons embroidered on the clothes are lifelike, but they are so dirty and dirty due to the dust that they cannot be seen clearly.
"What do you want to report?" Ye Hongyi stepped forward and asked if it was a secret, otherwise it might not be good to tell it in public.
"Inform the general, Master Qin Shiyi from Yushitai has already set off for Suzhou. Master Qin has been leaving for most of the day before the official departure."
Ye Hongyi was stunned for a moment. The messenger from the Xuanjian Division actually sent a message to Fang Jue. It was such a trivial matter.
"Qin Shiyi is going to Suzhou, just go there, why do you need to come here to report it?" Ye Hongyi asked.
The messenger wanted to say something else, but Fang Jue waved his hand to signal him to stop and retreat.
After they left, Fang Jue called several generals over, and Ye Hongyi also followed.
"Something big is going to happen." Fang Jue couldn't laugh or cry.
"What's the big deal?" Everyone didn't know.
Fang Jue: "Qin Shiyi went to Suzhou. He holds the Emperor's Sword. Do you think he dares to kill him and bleed him like a river?"
When the Xuanjian Division messenger reported the matter, Fang Jue had already imagined a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Qin Tietou's ferocity has become famous throughout the Xia Dynasty in the past two months.
Among the officials who died in his hands, there were several fourth-rank officials and above, and more than double digits were fifth-rank officials.
"It must be that Mr. Qin learned about Cai Yan's situation in Suzhou and wanted to support him." Lin Bei told the truth.
Wei Feng also said: "Cai Yan is also from Yushitai, so it's normal for Master Qin to rush there, but... His Majesty seems to have only asked Master Qin to investigate corruption in Ganzhou. Wouldn't he exceed his authority by going to Suzhou?"
Power must be used within the scope of authority, otherwise there will be endless disasters.
Everyone felt strange, why Qin Shiyi went to Suzhou to wade into the muddy waters when he should know what to do.
"You are teaching a Zuodu censor, why don't you overstep your bounds?" Fang Jue laughed.
Qin Shiyi is so smart. He impeaches others for abusing their power every day. Is it possible for him to give people a reason to speak out?
Fang Jue felt that Qin Shiyi must have found an excuse, or a name, so there was no need to worry about his apprentice being unknown.
Just to say something casually, he could say that someone in Suzhou was involved in the corruption case in Ganzhou, and he went to Suzhou to investigate the case in person. Unexpectedly, he happened to encounter corruption in Suzhou, so it was reasonable for him to take care of it.
"The authority of the Yushitai is not just to inspect and report." Ye Hongyi also nodded.
She said: "As long as the evidence is verified, Yushitai even has the authority to directly order the detention of serving officials and even request the local garrison to cooperate."
Compared with the Xuanjian Division, the power of the Yushitai is somewhat more limited. The Xuanjian Division can directly bring people to the door to detain someone for review if there is suspicion.
There is no need for evidence when filing a complaint at the Yushitai, but to handle practical matters, procedures are required.
"Don't worry about Qin Shiyi, think about the officials in Suzhou..."
Fang Jue shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that after we arrive in Suzhou this time, there will be only one Cai Yan left among the officials in the state capital."
This was an exaggeration, but everyone understood that Qin Shiyi, a ruthless man, could do it.
Cai Yan was in charge of the state capital, but he actually had no real power and could not control anyone. Qin Shiyi didn't care, he could just kill him.
I'm afraid none of the corrupt officials who are in custody will be able to escape, and those who are not in custody will soon be investigated.
"I'm afraid that when the Suzhou camp was first established and those generals were involved, Qin Shiyi would be in danger if he did too much in Suzhou. Let's rush there as soon as possible to embolden him." Fang Jue joked.
Qin Shiyi massacred everyone, and Fang Jue was happy to see the results. Even if there were some inappropriate consequences, Fang Jue was willing to clean up the mess for him.
"I'm afraid that the people from the Xuanjian Division came to deliver the message because of Cai Yan's intention." Fang Jue suddenly thought of this.
"General, are you saying that Cai Yan came to us for help because he was worried that Master Qin would go too far and cause disaster?" Lin Beidao.
"I'm afraid that's the intention." Wei Feng also agreed.
"Then let's go quickly. Send the order and the army begins to march quickly along the grain road to Suzhou, trying to get to Suzhou before Qin Shiyi goes on a killing spree."
Fang Jue sent the order, but he didn't have any hope. After all, it was too far. Qin Shiyi had already arrived in Suzhou.
By the time he arrived, it was already too late to find a cemetery for the beheaded officials. This chapter has been completed!
