Three days later, Zhou Kui's prediction came true.
First, Liang Zhengxin resigned from the post of Chief Envoy of Jiangsu Province on the grounds of health. On the same day, Song Chaoshan took over Liang Zhengxin's position and acted as Chief Envoy to handle Jiangsu government affairs.
On the day he learned the news, Zhou Kui made an appointment with Lin Xu and told him about the incident in a private room of a teahouse.
"Sir, have you sensed anything fishy in this matter?"
Zhou Kui said with a playful smile while tasting this year's first batch of Shifeng Longjing.
Lin Xu savored the matter and said: "In my opinion, there are at least two strange things about this matter! First, Liang Zhengxin resigned and Song Chaoshan took office. These two things happened on the same day. Considering the transmission
The imperial edict takes time. Obviously, this matter has been decided a long time ago! Secondly, since the imperial court has asked Song Chaoshan to handle Jiangsu's government affairs, it did not appoint him as governor, but only let him take over Liang Zhengxin's position.
Chief Minister, this is also a bit intriguing!"
"hey-hey......"
Zhou Kui grinned: "Sir, you really have a keen eye, and you saw the problem right away! Yes, these two things are very strange and very thought-provoking!"
"Then what explanation does Brother Zhou think these two things should have?"
Lin Xu humbly asks for advice!
The reason why Zhou Kui invited Lin Xu out today was to talk about this matter. Naturally, he would not hide it. He stretched out a finger and started talking: "Let me talk about the first thing first, Liang Zhengxin's resignation.
and Song Chaoshan's appointment, these two events happened on the same day, indicating that this was the imperial court's intention! Obviously, the imperial court also knew that Liang Zhengxin's ability was simply not enough to promote the policy of converting rice to mulberry! If he wanted to do it
To accomplish this, you have to be Song Chaoshan!"
"Song Chaoshan served as a censor in the capital, and later he was sent to local areas as a magistrate. He also served as an inspector of Jiangsu for five years. It can be said that he has both vision and experience!"
"What's more important is that Song Chaoshan is a man who does things vigorously and resolutely, and does whatever it takes to achieve his goals! Over the years, Song Chaoshan has been in charge of the punishment of a province, and countless people have died unjustly at his hands! The imperial court selected him
You really have a vision to do this!"
Listening to Zhou Kui's words, Lin Xu secretly figured out that it was obvious that Zhou Kui was very dissatisfied with Song Chaoshan and even had some hostility!
Although this is a small thing, it must be taken seriously!
Because Zhou Kui is Zhou Changmin's steward, his attitude represents Zhou Changmin's attitude to a large extent!
Zhou Kui stretched out another finger and continued: "This second thing is even more worth pondering! Since the imperial court selected Song Chaoshan to implement the policy of converting rice to mulberry, it did not appoint him
As the governor, he was only given a chief envoy to handle Jiangsu government affairs as the chief envoy. It was obviously unfair! On the surface, this was not conducive to his implementation of converting rice into mulberry.
Policy!”
"Even outsiders like us can see this clearly. Can't the high officials of the imperial court and the wise emperor see this?"
"Obviously, they can see it! But why would they do it?"
This time, Zhou Kui did not directly give the final answer, but asked: "Sir, why do you think this is?"
In fact, Lin Xu didn't really want to discuss these matters related to the officials, especially when it involved the emperor and the court. Who could guarantee that there would be no ears across the wall?
If you don't say some words, then you are the master of these words, but once you say them, you become the slave of these words!
However, Zhou Kui was so confidant to him and told so many secrets about the emperor and the court. If he had hidden it, Zhou Kui would have been able to sense it with his shrewdness! This chapter has been completed!
