Many people already knew that Lin Xi was going to be dismissed from his post and investigated before setting off from Ludonngling to Donggang Town in Anniversary Mountain. But as soon as the Yanlai Zhenjiang Dam collapsed, almost everyone knew that even if this document was issued, Lin Xi would be dismissed from his post and investigated.
, in a few days, I am afraid that Lin Xi will not only be reinstated, but will also be promoted even higher.
Once the river dam collapsed, it showed that his judgment was extremely correct, but it was the officials of the Engineering Department of Yanlai Town who failed to supervise the situation.
He mobilized arresters and jailers, and asked Jiang Wenhe to mobilize the garrison and the treasury. This also became a matter of informality and sacrificing the small to protect the large.
There were no prisoners escaping or casualties in those three burned cells. Compared to the thousands of lives and thousands of acres of farmland, they can be ignored.
In the Yingoufang case, Lin Xi's performance was already astonishing. Adding to this incident... most of the officials who paid attention to Lin Xi were just waiting to see what kind of reward would be given this time.
.
The river dam collapsed, and the merchant ships of the two large trading houses were affected. Many people died, and so many officials in Yanlai Town died... For such a particularly important event, news spread even faster, and with the addition of officials
The company has already issued the documents for Lin Xi's reduction in position, and even the documents involving Li Xiping's departure have been drawn up and are ready to be issued. This matter needs to be handled more quickly.
Yun Qin established a country by force and ruled it by law. Every official document issued by the various departments in the court was no child's play.
If you want to remove officials who have made great achievements, even if you immediately issue an official document to make amends after the removal, then this process is destined to be ridiculed by the people and other provincial officials for a long time, and may even lead to severe criticism and impeachment.
At this moment, the Zhilu County Sheriff's Mansion was brightly lit because of this incident.
As early as the previous brochure of Qingluan Academy, Lin Xi knew that the court system established by Emperor Yunqin and Dean Zhang was very different from any historical dynasty he had known before.
The entire huge Yunqin Empire was divided into a total of thirty-four provinces, except for the Imperial City of Zhongzhou.
Under these thirty-four provinces, they are organized according to "counties", "lings" and "towns". Officials of each department are distributed within each level of yamen according to their rank and jurisdiction. Each department has its own responsibilities.
, and all are dominated by the highest officers, town governors, mausoleum governors, and county guards, which makes government orders very clear from top to bottom.
The setting of this "county" is somewhat unique. If there is a military important place in the area, Sanling will be one county. If there is no military important place, Wuling will be one county. At that time, Lin Xi thought that it should be Zhang
The dean must not only ensure administrative efficiency and allow Yunqin's court system to penetrate into the local area, but also try not to make the administrative structure of the court too bloated.
Zhilu County is in charge of Ludong, Zhizheng and other Wulings. The county guard is Baiyulou. He was born in Zhengwu Division and graduated from the fourth rank.
At this moment, there are several officials in official uniforms sitting in the General Administration Hall of the County Sheriff's Mansion, but the Sheriff Bai Yulou has not arrived yet. One of the officials in charge has a serious face and looks like he is in his thirties. He is Li Si
Liu Xueqing, a famous minister of Yunqin who was a fifth-rank official and was already famous for his extensive knowledge and memorization when he was young.
"This matter is definitely due to an oversight by the Yanlai Town Works Department. Town Superintendent He Zijing will suffer the consequences. He must act quickly to bring order to the chaos. Otherwise, we will be ridiculed by the world and said that we are stupid."
Liu Xueqing's voice was clear and decisive, "Lin Xi does not care about honor or disgrace, and is decisive in everything she does. She has made such a great contribution, which is enough to reward and promote her!"
"Without Lin Xi's insistence, there would have been thousands of casualties in Yanlai Town and Donggang Town alone. This kind of contribution is great enough."
"There is no age distinction for meritorious deeds. Such great achievements indeed deserve rewards and promotions."
The two officials beside him nodded in agreement.
"I think it's worth debating." At this time, Hong Shenwu, the commander of the county guard army, frowned and said coldly: "The timing of the dam breach is too coincidental. Why did it happen to be that it didn't collapse at other times?
He Zijing and the others, who had a dispute with Lin Xi, just broke down at that time."
Although Hong Shenwu is also of the fifth rank, he is the highest officer of the Zhengwu Division in this county and holds a lot of troops. Listening to his words, the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became tense. It was silent for a while, and the sound of coughing could not be heard.
Liu Xueqing also frowned, turned his head suddenly, looked at the military attache with a majestic face and a Chinese character, and said in a deep voice: "Master Hong, what do you mean by this?"
Hong Shenwu glanced at Liu Xueqing indifferently and said: "As far as I know, when He Zijing and others went to check the dam, Lin Xi was also on the dam..."
"What?"
When Liu Xueqing heard this, the veins on his forehead suddenly jumped, and blood suddenly rose to his face. He slapped the chair handle fiercely and stood up.
"Snapped!"
The chair was knocked to the ground by him.
At first, the other officials heard the objection in Hong Shenwu's words, and the atmosphere was very tense. At this time, Liu Xueqing's shot suddenly shocked the other officials!
No one thought that Liu Xueqing would be so furious in an instant.
"Hong Shenwu! I respect you for your many military exploits for Yunqin, but I don't want you to be so shameless today!" Liu Xueqing's sharp shout resounded throughout the hall, "Lin Xi's performance is obvious to all, and you actually said such words at this time,
Do you want to say that he could deliberately destroy the dam? I doubt how much benefit you received from below!"
"kindness?"
Hong Shenwu narrowed his eyes and stood up, looking coldly at Liu Xueqing who was shouting: "Master Liu, please pay attention to your words and deeds. I am only stating the truth, but you are so rude. Are you not allowed to have objections in the hall?
Do you still want to threaten me?"
As long as the generals in the army can reach the seventh rank, they are basically cultivators. Only through life and death can they accumulate good military achievements. The same is true for Hong Shenwu. Although he usually has a pale face and does not have a fierce look, at this moment, his eyes narrowed, and there was a wave of blood on his body.
A chill spread out, and the other officials suddenly felt a biting chill unconsciously, feeling as if they were in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xueqing became even more furious. With a wave of his hand, he threw a cup of tea at Hong Shenwu: "Hong Shenwu! It's because of people like you that the river dam collapsed and thousands of acres of fertile land were lost.
That’s why so many people died!”
There was a cracking sound of "Pa!". Hong Shenwu did not expect Liu Xueqing to be so violent and bold. Without any precaution, he stretched out his hand and smashed the tea cup, but a lot of tea was splashed on him, and he suddenly became furious: "
Liu Xueqing, if you do this, I will definitely read your book!"
"Okay! Join us!"
Liu Xueqing waved his hands angrily and said, "If I don't commend Lin Xi this time, I will resign myself. Being an official in the same county with someone like you is really worse than a dog!"
"you!"
Hong Shenwu laughed angrily. Although Liu Xueqing's last sentence was clearly about himself, it was tantamount to saying that Hong Shenwu was a bad official. "He only makes trouble unreasonably and resigns from office. What evidence do you have that Lin Xi did not touch the dam?"
Hands and feet?”
Seeing that Hong Shenwu and Liu Xueqing were already fighting to the point where two tigers were fighting each other and one of them would be injured, the other officials remained silent and did not dare to speak out for a while.
At this moment, footsteps sounded at the door of the General Administration Hall. Bai Yulou, the governor of Zhilu County, who looked about forty years old, had skin as white as jade and was dressed as a scholar, walked in.
"Master Bai!"
Except for Liu Xueqing and Hong Shenwu, who were glaring at each other, the others suddenly stood up and bowed as if they were receiving a general amnesty.
"You two roared in the hall, how unbecoming it was. I heard it from a distance outside!"
Bai Yulou had no expression on his face. He glanced at Liu Xueqing and Hong Shenwu coldly, scolded, and then fixed his gaze on Hong Shenwu: "Hong Shenling, do you suspect Lin Xi of tampering with the dam?"
Hong Shenwu bowed slightly and nodded: "The dam collapsed and Lin Xi left, and He Zijing and others suffered a disaster. It was too coincidental."
Liu Xueqing's blood rushed to his face again, but Bai Yulou said coldly, "You just think it's a coincidence, so you dare to doubt it for no reason?"
Hearing Bai Yulou's words, Liu Xueqing and others were shocked and heard the unusual meaning.
Hong Shenwu's expression darkened, and his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
"I would like to ask Chief Hong, if I give you a dam to block the river, you can do whatever you can to make it collapse whenever you want. It will not collapse when you are there, but it will collapse when your enemy is there.
?”
Bai Yulou looked at him indifferently, and then said coldly.
Hong Shenwu's face turned slightly pale and he was unable to argue for a moment.
"When I received the news on a rainy night, I went straight to the river dam. I did not do anything within the scope of my responsibilities but took on the responsibility, and rushed around day and night."
"He rushed to Yanlai Town overnight to remonstrate with him instead of taking office in Yanlai Town. After being rejected, he still went to Jiangba and nearly 3,000 villagers were evacuated overnight."
"The river dam collapsed, two ships collided, landslides occurred, and rocks rained down. He immediately disregarded his own safety and took the lead in the rescue. Nearly 200 people fell into the water, but he rescued more than 100 people!"
There was still no expression on Bai Yulou's face. He just spoke every sentence, his tone becoming colder and harsher. "With such performance, some people actually question his character. Hong Shenguang, according to you, he is also cheating in acting, so you don't care."
You are an official, you don’t care about your life, and you lied once in public, show me?”
Hong Shenwu didn't expect Bai Yulou to speak so harshly. For a moment, his blood boiled on his face, and he roared in a low voice: "Master Bai, do you mean that as a soldier of Yunqin, when I was fighting on the battlefield, could I account for
Do you care about your life if you are an official?"
"You can't refute, so you are making strong arguments at this time." Bai Yulou looked at Hong Shenwu coldly, and said sarcastically: "As a soldier of Yunqin, do you have to not care about life and death? I knew that there was Yanlaizhen Military Academy at the scene, and the result
When the two ships collided and were in danger, Lin Xi rushed forward, and even a young engineering supervisor who happened to be there on leave rushed forward. However, the military officer was so frightened that he turned around and fled to an unknown place."
After a slight pause, Bai Yulou looked at Hong Shenwu and said even more coldly: "The front line of Dragon and Snake is tight. If you want to prove that you have no selfish intentions towards Lin Xi, and want to prove your character, loyalty and fearlessness, you can go to Longsnake."
Snake Front, if I remember correctly, none of your military achievements were truly accumulated on the most dangerous front."
"Bai Yulou, what do you mean?" Hong Shenwu laughed angrily, "You want to use some excuse to transfer me to the Dragon Snake Front?"
Bai Yulou managed to avoid his dagger-like gaze and nodded coldly: "That's exactly what I meant."
"Okay! Very good! Don't think that just because you are one level above me, you can do whatever you want to me. I'll wait!"
Hong Shenwu sneered in a bitingly cold tone, and then walked away directly.
"Master Bai, you have done a great job in this matter." Liu Xueqing shouted happily and bowed to Bai Yulou as a compliment.
"Mr. Liu, you are a talented person in governing the country, but you must also be careful in your speech and temper. In recent years, you have been known as a 'crazy student'. Although you don't care, you have to understand that you can do a lot for people when you are in office.
If you die, it will not only be your misfortune, but also a great loss for me, Yun Qin." Bai Yulou glanced at Liu Xueqing and said, "Everything is for Yun Qin and glory."
Liu Xueqing once again bowed to admit his mistake, but at the same time, he and several officials present were puzzled. Because they knew very well that Bai Yulou was an upright and honest man, but just like what Bai Yulou said to Liu Xueqing at this time, Bai Yulou had always been a stickler for keeping a low profile in the court.
This faction is completely different from Yan Guan, who prefers to bend rather than bend. They all pay attention to judging the situation. If something cannot be forced, they will choose to be patient for the moment, save themselves first, and then slowly bring it back later.
They also knew that although Bai Yulou usually did not have a good relationship with Hong Shenwu, Hong Shenwu's relationship in the Zhengwu Division was complicated, and Bai Yulou, who believed in hiding one's strength and biding his time and planning slowly, was usually wary of him.
However, today Bai Yulou actually reprimanded Liu Xueqing for promoting his idea of serving as an official, but what he did was something else, and he directly broke with Hong Shenwu to such an extent.
"Sir, how do you decide on Lin Xi's matter?" Liu Xueqing walked with Yan Guan. Although he admitted his mistake, he immediately straightened up and looked at Bai Yulou and asked.
"The previous affairs were unfairly dealt with. Lu Dongling's document was not issued, so naturally the official department took it back and invalidated it." Bai Yulou glanced at everyone present: "Lin Xi's contribution is significant. Based on merit, he can at least be promoted by two levels, from eight to eight.
Pin. Yanlai Town is leaderless at the moment, and the people affected by the disaster are in urgent need of treatment. Let Lin Xi temporarily act as the town governor. Liu Xueqing, what do you think?"
Liu Xueqing raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Based on his merits, it is enough. However, he is too young. He was promoted unexpectedly before and was promoted two levels in a row. He is still at odds with Li. Slowly polishing it will be of some benefit to him. He will be promoted to one level.
If you reach the ninth rank, you will be awarded a medal first, remember your merits, and then you will be promoted after you have made some achievements in office."
"Okay, then Lin Xi will be promoted to the ninth rank. He will be awarded the Glory Medal and act as the town governor of Donggang Town. Jiang Wenhe, the acting town governor of Donggang Town, performed well and was officially promoted to the town governor. Jiang Xiaoyi, the supervisor of the Huigu Town Works Division, will be promoted to one rank.
"Stairs." Bai Yulou waved his hand, "The official award document will go first and be sent out overnight!"
