Gao pragmatic did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment before asking: "Judge Cen, although you are a local official, you should also know the nature of impeaching a superior official instead of being a scientific official. Of course, in view of your
The matter reported is due to the special case of the chieftain, and special matters can be dealt with, so I will not ignore it for the time being. What I want to ask you now is, since this matter happened three or four years ago, why did you not do it until today?
Come and report to me?"
Cen Ling said: "According to the circumstances, when this incident happened, Xiaguan did not have an official position. The post of prefectural judge was awarded by the imperial court several months after Xianguan's nephew Yunhan was sent to Guilin. However,
Since the Yao rebellion broke out in Guangdong and Guangxi in recent years, the former Guangdong and Guangxi army Yin Gongzhengmao, Guo Gong applied for the job, Ling Gong Yunyi and others were all busy with the Yao rebellion in various places. Although the lower officials were local officials, they also knew the overall situation and did not dare to bother the court at that time. "
Gao Pragmatic naturally didn't believe this, or he couldn't believe it completely. It is certainly true that the Yao rebellion has been rife in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yao in recent years. From Yin Zhengmao, Guo Yingpin, Ling Yunyi to the current Liu Yaojie, every governor of Guangdong and Guangxi has regarded the suppression of the Yao rebellion as a
The main task, and even the Japanese pirates were put on the back burner (at this time, Guangdong and Guangxi were still attacked by Japanese pirates from time to time, but in fact its personnel were mainly Ming Dynasty pirates), and the biggest recent Yao rebellion was the Battle of Eight Villages.
Chaos, this was settled last year.
From this perspective, it is indeed possible that the imperial court could not take into account the power disputes within Sicheng Prefecture - in fact, when dealing with similar matters, the imperial court would often wait for the chieftains to fight internally until both sides were harmed before taking action... Well, that's it
Not much to say.
However, despite such objective facts, Gao Pragmatic would not believe what Cen Ling said about taking the overall situation into consideration.
He is a noble son of a chieftain's family. His family's nest has been occupied by "rebels". The head of the family has been placed under house arrest. The young master has no choice but to become a hostage of the court. If it were not for the fact that he has powerful wolf soldiers in his direct lineage from the Cen family, his family's situation would be doomed.
Not far away, what else will he consider about the overall situation of the court?
What kind of international joke are you kidding me? Why don’t you make toast if you have this consciousness? It’s better to study hard and get ready to go to Yanjing to be a pavilion boss!
However, Gao Pragmatic couldn't be sure what Cen Ling's specific thoughts were at that time. Maybe he didn't want to make his family scandal public and planned to regain Lingyun City on his own?
But if that's the case, why did you bring the matter to yourself again today?
Of course, suspicion is suspicion, and free praise can be thrown away casually. Gao Pragmatic naturally sent a few top hats to me without a blush, and then said: "Can you come and explain this situation to me?
I appreciate it, but for such a big matter, I can't just listen to your words, I must investigate it clearly before handling it."
"Don't worry, I understand this truth." After Cen Ling finished speaking, he hesitated to speak.
Gao Pingshi saw this and didn't mind acting with him, so he said: "If Judge Cen has any other worries, you might as well tell us together. I'll make my own decision."
As expected, this was what Cen Ling was waiting for, and he immediately said with a look of Hao Ran: "Unfortunately, the Cen family has such rebellion. Although there is a court to look up to for its power and righteousness, Huang Ma is the head of rebellion.
Fu's execution is already planned... However, if this matter spreads out, it will be a small matter for the official to lose his reputation. I am afraid that my brother will lose his prestige in the future, which will cause instability among the people under his rule and damage the peace of Guangxi.
Mo Dayan."
Oh, Cen Ling wants me to keep the secret for him... It seems that he is very loyal to Cen Shaoxun. Under this situation, he didn't even want to lend my hand. While destroying Huang Ma, he also gave his eldest brother Cen Shaoxun a
Unnatural death.
You know, if Cen Shaoxun also dies while Huang Ma is being solved, then the court will either let him take over as the governor of Tuzhou, or let Cen Yunhan go back to take up the post. But even if Cen Yunhan goes back to take up the post, he will not be able to do it because he is too young.
He must be assisted by his uncle - said to be an assistant, it is equivalent to a "regent".
Of course, it is not impossible for the imperial court to directly change the country and return to exile, or to hire a exiled official to "assist" Cen Yunhan. But if you think about it carefully, this possibility is very small, because the imperial court also wants to reward merit. He is like this
Behavior, for the imperial court, is to maintain orthodoxy, and even has a hint of survival. This is very important. As long as the imperial court is not in trouble, it is impossible to suppress such people, because this is the righteousness.
How important is righteousness to the court? After the court pacified Si'en, it inexplicably suppressed Cen Meng, and finally caused such a big mess. This lesson was severe enough. Therefore, it would be more serious than suppressing Cen Meng again.
Wrong, then the court is simply hopelessly stupid.
However, whether this matter is kept secret or not is only related to the Cen family. From the court's point of view, there is no need to worry about whether Cen Shaoxun will lose his prestige. Gao Pragmatic even thinks that the loss of Cen Shaoxun's prestige is not good for the court.
, which is totally a good thing.
The Cen family of Sicheng is currently the head of the Cen family, including the Cen family of Zhen'an Prefecture, who are nominally higher than them. Within the family, everyone has to listen to the call of the Cen family of Sicheng. However, the "throne" of the Cen family of Sicheng itself
The one who was picked up was Si En. The two Cen families in Tianzhou who were originally stronger wanted to die on their own, and then gave it to Sicheng. Their prestige itself was not very sufficient.
If Cen Shaoxun loses his prestige due to this incident, it is hard to say whether the Cen family in Sicheng can still secure the position of Cen family head. By then, if the court wants to control the Cen family, its methods will obviously increase - for example, two
The simplest choice: continue to support the Cen family in Sicheng, then Sicheng will have to pay a price, or at least be more obedient; another example is to support the Zhen'an Prefecture, then the Cen family may have a period of civil strife, and their strength will inevitably weaken.
, conducive to imperial control.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Gao Pragmatic feels that there is no need to keep Cen Ling's secret secret.
"If the imperial court sends troops to help bring order to Sicheng, how can such a big thing be kept secret? Judge Cen, your statement is not easy to accept." Gao Pragmatic said with a troubled face.
Cen Ling secretly cursed in his heart: After all, he was a person who had served as an observer for the emperor. He was indeed extremely treacherous. He was not comparable to those stupid geese who were stupid in reading. It seemed that there was no benefit to him because he ignored rabbits and hawks.
The Dharma is moving.
"Futai." Cen Ling said with a heavy face, "Xiaguan has a piece of news that may make Futai reconsider."
Yo, are you here to negotiate the price?
Being pragmatic, I am not angry but happy. I like business the most, and everyone in the world knows it!
"Since Judge Cen is so confident, we might as well give it a try." Gao Wuchen now has the initiative and is naturally not in a hurry.
Cen Qi Gongzi looked into his pragmatic eyes and said word by word: "The official has the exact information about Futai's illness."
He emphasized the word "sick", and Gao Pragmatic knew as soon as he heard it that this guy was not just threatening, he actually had clues to this matter.
However, Gao Pragmatic is not that easy to blackmail. He obviously wanted to get this piece of information, but he still had to trick Cen Ling before he was willing to do it. So he smiled and said: "So that's what happened... Yao Gu, I guess.
It has been found out."
Master Cen Qi's face changed, and he said in disbelief: "Have you found out?" He thought in his mind, and thought to himself: Could it be that this girl Huang Zhiting helped him? But that's not right, let alone why this girl Huang Zhiting is so easy to talk to, even if she
She is really willing to help, but she doesn’t know the details of this matter. How can she start helping?
Cen Qi Gongzi was a little unwilling and asked tentatively: "I wonder what results were found by pressing the platform? For example... what kind of Yao Gu is in the platform?"

No matter what my grades are, I get more than 10,000 updates a day, and I don’t ask for this or that, so I just watch pirated copies, right? That’s so unfair to me!
