There is no doubt that this sudden incident attracted everyone's attention. People who knew the inside story, such as Pei Ju and others, knew that the prince was angry this time. The reason was the same. At the political affairs hall meeting, Li Zhiyun said angrily to
They said: At the foot of the emperor, in the important land of the capital, someone actually tried to deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates. None of the local officials dared to resist, and they were reduced to relying on a county captain who risked his life to go to the capital to ask Dali Temple to investigate.
What's this?
This is blatant contempt for the imperial power!
Li Zhiyun even said that if a troop of troops was hidden in Qizhou, no one in Chang'an would know about it.
When these words came out, Chai Shao felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Although he had little to do with the affairs of Qizhou, he, the governor of Qizhou, was not responsible, but he made the final decision.
For this reason, Princess Pingyang, who was resting in her mansion, found Li Zhiyun.
"Fifth brother, do you really want to punish your brother-in-law?"
In the study, Li Zhiyun glanced at Li Xiuning who hurriedly walked in, and Li Zhen behind her.
Li Zhen felt ashamed for not stopping Princess Pingyang.
Li Zhiyun put down the book and waved to Li Zhen, who understood, closed the door and left.
Immediately after, Li Zhiyun said: "Sister, sit down first."
"If you don't sit down, tell me first, are you going to punish your brother-in-law?" Li Xiuning asked aggressively.
This is why Li Xiuning dared to be so presumptuous in front of Li Zhiyun. If it were anyone else, Li Zhiyun would only give him a cold face.
In desperation, Li Zhiyun had to fetch the futon himself and pulled Li Xiuning to sit down.
"Sister, do you know the specific situation in Qizhou?" Li Zhiyun asked first, and then said: "I think sister must not know. Let me explain it briefly to sister. Come, sister, look at this
A file was just sent from Dali Temple."
With that said, Li Zhiyun picked up a file and handed it to Li Xiuning.
"As mentioned above, there are six county magistrates in Qizhou who collude in a group. Their corruption of taxes is second to none, but they hinder the implementation of the government's policies. Look here, Qishan County, the county magistrate openly requires the people to spend money
When purchasing a Quyuan plow, it must be a Quyuan plow made by the government, otherwise the privately built Quyuan plow will be confiscated.
If you look at Yong County again, the county magistrate occupied more than 20 hectares of farmland, nearly 2,000 acres, and forced the people to flee into the mountains.
If you look at Guo County again, people are forced to buy and sell. Is this still something humans do?
My brother-in-law is the governor of Qizhou, but there have been so many problems under his rule. I would like to ask my sister, how can I convince the ministers to let my brother-in-law go?
Not to mention, this time the King of Longxi committed murder in broad daylight. If he is not severely punished, the people will be completely devastated!"
Li Xiuning looked at the files one after another and knew that she was being unreasonable.
"Alas." She sighed.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun said: "Sister, don't worry. My brother-in-law is also a hero of the Tang Dynasty. I won't treat him harshly. However, I want to take back the governor of Qizhou. Brother-in-law, he has disappointed me so much. If
Unless someone comes to Dali Temple to investigate, I'm afraid I will still be kept in the dark. Sister, why did the Sui Dynasty lose its country?
Losing the support of the people!
It has not been ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but something like this happened in the neighboring areas of the capital, how can I tolerate it?"
Hearing this, Li Xiuning said: "You're right, we really can't let it go."
She has also come out of troubled times and knows that Li Tang's success is hard-won, and she also understands the importance of people's hearts.
Not to mention, she herself is also a woman who enjoys grudges.
"Sister, don't worry, I won't do anything to my brother-in-law."
After repeated assurances, Li Xiuning left.
But Li Zhiyun's face gradually turned cold.
This time the clan is involved, what about next time?
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun's eyes fell on Eucalyptus. It seemed that he had to speed up the construction of Yushitai.
Five days later, the case was found out. The King of Longxi passed by Dayan Village while hunting, and he coveted the beauty of one of the girls. He couldn't force it, and he was so evil that he killed people and mutilated corpses. At first glance, it seemed outrageous, but when he thought that it was a dandy, he...
That's very reasonable.
In addition, they also uncovered more shocking inside stories of corruption and perversion of law in Qizhou.
Li Zhiyun immediately ordered that all the lords of the Longxi King be expelled and Zongzheng Temple imprisoned. Chai Shao, the governor of Qizhou, was dismissed from his post.
In addition, all officials involved in the scandal in Qizhou were imprisoned, and officials were assigned to their posts by the Ministry of Personnel.
Although the major earthquake did not occur in Gyeonggi Province, it did occur in the neighboring state of Qizhou, which was enough to shock the county officials in Gyeonggi Province.
Pei Mansion.
"Sir, His Highness the Crown Prince's recent actions have really made some people very uneasy," Pei Xuanji said.
"Are you uneasy too?" Pei Ju glanced at him.
"No." Pei Xuanji said: "The child walks and sits upright, and is not afraid of these things. It's just that some people under his hands are uneasy."
"Huh." Pei Ju said: "The attitude of the prince in Qizhou is the attitude of the prince. If the King of Longxi hadn't made too much trouble, maybe he wouldn't be like this. His Royal Highness the prince has always valued the people, and the officials from top to bottom of Qizhou treat the people like this.
How can His Highness the Crown Prince let them go?"
"But sir, many officials in Qizhou are from Guanlong."
"That's why His Highness the Crown Prince asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to be responsible for selecting the list of newly appointed officials from various places in Qizhou." Pei Ju sighed: "Our Highness the Crown Prince is both strong and soft, and even the people of Guanlong dare not
Jump out and say something."
Pei Xuanji nodded secretly and immediately asked: "Then this matter is over?"
"It's over?" Pei Ju chuckled, "Not necessarily, I always feel that the interesting things have just begun."
Political Hall.
"Liu Rengui, you are very courageous, but Gu admires you very much. If you had not been afraid of difficulties and came to Beijing to tell Dali Temple about Wei Zheng and Chencang, the people of Qizhou might still be living in dire straits."
"I'm just not angry at the violent behavior of Lu Ning, the captain of the government. I didn't expect such a thing to happen." Liu Rengui said modestly.
He originally only thought there was something wrong with Chencang, but the recent investigation told him that the whole of Qizhou was actually in trouble.
Therefore, he was also shocked.
As far as he knew, there was a complete change of blood in Qizhou this time.
However, he also admired the prince even more because of this. Because he felt that the prince was a good prince who asked for orders for the people. So many officials involved in the scandal were dismissed as soon as they were told. How domineering!
Domineering?
Li Zhiyun felt aggrieved, otherwise he would not have left the task of selecting Qizhou officials to the Ministry of Personnel.
"You have a pure heart. I plan to appoint you as the county magistrate of Chencang. You will make up for the people of Chencang on my behalf. Do you have the confidence to do this job well?"
Liu Rengui clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee, "I am willing!"
"Okay, you go."
"I am resigning."
After Liu Rengui left, Wei Zheng walked in slowly.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Sit down first, Xuancheng."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After Wei Zheng sat down, Li Zhiyun picked up a memorial with a smile and said: "Xuancheng, before you came back, the censors and some ministers were impeaching you here every day."
"I have a clear conscience." Wei Zheng said calmly and seriously.
Li Zhiyun nodded and said: "Many ministers have said that you punished people harshly in Qizhou, and there were even cases of people being beaten into submission."
Wei Zheng leaned forward and said, "Your Highness, please speak frankly. In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done."
Li Zhiyun nodded slowly, and then sighed: "Qizhou alone is so corrupt. There are so many states and counties in the world, and so many people, I don't know what the situation is like."
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"I want to use you as the supervisor to patrol Hedong Road and correct this unhealthy trend!"
Inspector?
Wei Zheng asked in confusion: "Who is this inspector?"
Li Zhiyun said: "This position is temporarily assigned to the Yushitai. You patrol the local area and are not allowed to interfere with local government affairs. However, after obtaining evidence of the officials' illegal acts, you have the right to act expediently!"
