Li Youzhen didn't expect that Jiang Inspector would be recruited so easily. From the beginning to the end, he had no chance to appear, and the torture in his heart was completely useless. He could only watch Master Huang take the confession and write lightly: "It is good to surrender without fighting.
So good."
This thing was going too smoothly. Li You also planned to go to great lengths to find out the charges and put Inspector Jiang in jail for interrogation. However, Master Huang easily got it out of the way with a trick. His thoughts were completely useless.
Mr. Huang then said to Li You: "Chiang's inspection comes from the government office. If his family asks for help and comes to the government office to inquire, there is no crime that cannot be easily explained. If you are not careful, you will be alerted. I have to trouble you to find your old man Taishan."
, find a few insiders from the Inspection Department to dig up some accusations for him, so that he can cover it up."
Li You was speechless. In this case, it would be enough to follow the routine he envisioned from the beginning. He shook his head and said, "Old sir, why bother?"
Mr. Huang smiled meaningfully and said: "In your words, this can be regarded as a sense of presence. Now the interrogator on the case file is me."
"There's no need to go to such trouble anymore." Li You said coldly: "The country has a system of joint sittings. Just take Jiang's family and his cronies into custody. Let's see who goes to complain about this."
However, Li You seemed to have some understanding of Master Huang's words - now that Chen Zhixian County is gradually maturing, Master Huang's mission of assistance has almost been completed, so when he saw the opportunity, his heart began to riot. This old Mr. Huang has a great reputation.
Those who are qualified to be officials directly do not need to be picky about their position like Jinshi. It would be good if they can become an official in the prosperous and prosperous Suzhou Prefecture.
Thinking of Master Huang's vision for the future of Magistrate Chen, Governor Li was a little uneasy and said to Master Huang in a deliberately stupid and naive manner: "Does Mr. Chen have to go to the capital to be promoted? Isn't it better to stay in Suzhou Prefecture?"
For Li You, an indigenous official in Suzhou Prefecture, if Chen Zhixian went to the capital, it would be too far away, and it would be a bit unreliable to rely on him in the future. With today's technological level, he might never see him again in his life.
Master Huang understands Li You's psychology very well, but there is nothing he can do. "Everyone in the world knows that officials in the capital are the most valuable, and who doesn't want to go to the capital to become an official. Chen County has a high ranking as a Jinshi, but going to Xujiang County is just a condescension to practice and endure a life."
Secondly, he has the qualifications to serve in local affairs. Secondly, he received Xu Shangshu's instruction to stay away from the court and avoid the turmoil of the court. Otherwise, do you think that even if Chen County Zun failed to enter the Imperial Academy, he would not be able to find a censor and be in charge of the affairs? Wait for the opportunity.
Come on, County Master Chen will naturally not waste his time in the local area. Those officials such as general magistrates and magistrates are prepared for people like you and me. With Chen County Master’s reputation, being a miscellaneous official is purely humiliating. You
Is it possible for him to stay in Suzhou Prefecture after his promotion?"
Li You said helplessly: "I know this too, but it's a pity that there are no governors, vassals, and offices in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are really no promotion channels for state and county officials locally."
During the Jinghe Dynasty, the Jiangnan area belonged to Southern Zhili. In order to give the six ministries in Nanjing something to do, the official positions of the Chief Envoy and the Inspectorate were not set up in Jiangnan. Therefore, Li Youcai said that there was no promotion path for prefecture and county officials in Jiangnan.
.In fact, in recent years, it is difficult for the chief officials of the ten Jiangnan mansions to be promoted on the spot without going to the two capitals or other places.
According to the imperial system, the high-level local civil officials (basically only Jinshi can do this) include the second-rank official, the third-rank official, the fourth-rank counselor, the third-rank official, the fourth-rank deputy envoy, and the fourth-rank official.
The fifth rank is for censorship, and the fourth rank is for magistrate. Among them, the title of Fenshou Road is attached to the rank of Chief Envoy, and the title of Fenshou Road is attached to the rank of Inspector and Envoy. The hierarchy is very clear. Qualified officials with Jinshi background can move up one level.
Promotion, or gilding back and forth between the capital and the place.
Based on the normal order and background connections, Chen Zhixian's next step is 99% to be promoted to the sixth rank of the capital department. Originally, Chen Zhixian might be able to safely serve as the county magistrate of Xujiang County for three to five years, but after reporting Mao
As soon as the magistrate incident came out, the imperial court would always give a commendation to Magistrate Chen who had made great achievements in writing secret memorials. Even if he was unsuccessful, he would still be given an appeasement. It is very likely that he would be promoted in advance.
For his own short-term interests (Li You really didn’t want to wait until the day when he became the most senior) Li You, who personally pushed Chen Zhixian to leave, sighed. Mr. Chen will probably only be able to be used as foreign aid in the future.
It would be better to go to a local gentry like Zhao Daguan who has lived for a long time.
But when he thought of Zhao Liangli, Li You got a headache again. Damn Magistrate Mao was also related to the lovely Daguan Zhao. I heard that Magistrate Mao was a protégé of Daguan Zhao’s grandfather. Speaking of which, the connections between these ruling classes are really intricate.
In addition to relatives and friends, there are also cross-infections between teachers and students in the same year, fellow teachers and students, fellow teachers and students in the same year, and so on. Another example is Mao Zhifu
With Ma Xunjian, one is a fellow villager of Mr. Yuan Ge and the other is Mr. Yuan Ge's son-in-law. They naturally hook up after meeting each other.
If Magistrate Mao is defeated, how can he explain to Official Zhao? Others are not fools. He pretends not to do his own business and cannot hide the real people who are interested. It is better to take the initiative to visit Official Zhao after returning to Fucheng and try to resolve the matter. Li
Yu could only think.
It is said that Master Huang took the confession to Chen Zhixian, and Chen Zhixian felt more confident. However, he did not have the power to investigate the magistrate. He only wrote a secret memorial and a secret letter, and sent them to Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The content emphasized the possibility of civil unrest: Jiangnan was originally a land of fish and rice, but the Su government started a rice-grabbing craze, which was really shocking. I learned from the Inspection Office under the rule that all the accumulated goods in the government warehouse for several years were gone.
There is no rice to make a living, so I dare not think about the tragedy of the spring famine next year. In the Sufu city, there are tens of thousands of people without permanent property. If the hungry people burst out, all the wealth in the world will be reduced to ashes. Where can the capital look up to at that time?
The secret letter from Chen Zhixian was given to the teacher Xu Shangshu, and the secret memorial was entrusted to Xu Shangshu to deliver it to the place where it should be delivered. No matter what, there are always more or less procedures, and the state and dynasty system is a system that emphasizes procedures.
, but the effects of different procedures are obviously different for different people. Can the secret reports handed over by the Minister of Civil Affairs and the secret reports reported by the magistrate be treated the same?
Then everyone could only wait. At this point, Li You had played his role and completely resigned himself to fate. He sighed, it would be very inconvenient to have no Jinyiwei these days. Reporting someone
Corruption still requires so much trouble. The journey from Suzhou to Beijing is two to three thousand miles, and the journey back and forth often takes months. How long will he have to sit on the bench before it comes to an end?
Everyone has his or her own future, which is basically clear, but what is Li You’s future?
