Valley Emperor

Valley Emperor

Gu Shizhong, the founding veteran of the country, committed suicide by the army general. This incident did not cause too many waves in the outside world, and even the military arrest of hundreds of generals did not cause any waves.

On the one hand, the Datang Empire strictly controlled the leakage of military information. The military, as a violent organ, in order to avoid the leakage of information and maintain the mystery, the Datang Empire strictly prohibited the leakage of military information, and even many people in the country even It is not clear how many troops the empire has, let alone the specific numbers, locations and secret information of the chief officers of the troops.

There are occasional news about military reports in the Datang Chaobao, which are often replaced by vague words such as 'a certain department', and will not report the detailed number.

This time, the news of the military's anti-corruption campaign was strictly controlled, and the Tang Dynasty Daily did not report any news about the military's internal anti-corruption campaign.

In addition, another very important reason is that the Datang Empire has been implementing a very strict separation of military and government for more than ten years. The separation of military and government has basically become a basic political concept, even if it is ordinary Everyone knows that the army is the army and the government is the government. These are two different things and cannot be confused.

And civilians will never mention the military's momentary information when it is not necessary.

Not to mention that the military anti-corruption storm this time has been seen by individuals as having a very large impact. I didn't see that even the military bosses Hao Bainian, Li Chunjing and others were obediently shutting their mouths and daring not to offer the slightest opinion.

Those civilians outside did not dare to have any opinion on the affairs of the military.

In addition, now that the civilians are unable to protect themselves, they are stared at by the inspectorate every day, and now there is no time to pay attention to the life and death of the military generals.

The scale of the anti-corruption storm set off by Xuanping at the end of the 16th year is beyond anyone's imagination. Beginning in November, starting from the Gyeonggi judiciary, a huge anti-corruption storm hung up and spread throughout the country.

In Shanghai, Chen Lifu stood on the balcony on the second floor of the county government office, watching the censors of the inspectorate outside, and took the patrol police to take more than 30 officials directly from the county government office!

A young official behind him whispered: "My lord, are you just watching them take people away? What the **** is going on with their Inspectorate, how did they take so many people away indiscriminately!"

"To shut up!"

Chen Lifu didn't even look back at him, but continued to stare outside!

The ordinary officials below still couldn't figure out what was going on, and thought it was just the Shanghai Special County Inspectorate going crazy, but as the magistrate of the Shanghai Special County, he knew that the arrest missions this time, The Shanghai Special County Inspectorate is not the key at all. The key person is the Jiangnan Inspection Team dispatched by the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Central Inspectorate.

The leader of this Jiangnan inspection team is a high-ranking official from the third rank, and holds the imperial edict, but the heavyweight imperial envoy of the eight classics, even if Chen Lifu is in front of the inspection team, he must be obediently lying on his stomach.

Not to mention Chen Lifu, even the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture, and even Huo Shouqi, who has been a Taoist priest for many years in the south of the Yangtze River, now which one is not well behaved, for fear that he will also be taken away.

As far as Chen Lifu knows, this anti-corruption storm is not only limited to Shanghai, nor even limited to Jiangnan Road, but an anti-corruption storm that spreads across the country.

And according to the information he got from secret channels, even the military has set off an anti-corruption storm.

Under such circumstances, many people would even take the initiative to push others out in order to protect themselves, let alone offend the bad luck of these inspection teams.

And some officials targeted by the inspection team, in order to strive for leniency, often take the initiative to explain the problem and give out their accomplices.

In this case, even Chen Lifu himself had to be careful, for fear of being involved!

Although Chen Lifu prides himself on being stable and has never been disdainful of corruption and bribery, the Chen family has a great business and is also engaged in industry and commerce. Although Chen Lifu has not provided any convenience to his own industry, his family does business in business. When it comes to business, it is natural that he will be named after him. If this is said, it will cause some trouble.

In this case, Chen Lifu is also reflecting, it seems that the model of the family business has to be changed, and it is not reliable to directly engage in industry and commerce, and it is easy to be caught by people. Just invest.

This can avoid a lot of trouble.

After Chen Lifu personally watched the Inspectorate arrest dozens of officials from Shanghai's ad hoc counties, he heard about it again within a few days, other prefectures and counties, and even Jiangnan Province Yamen also arrested a lot of people.

And the most important thing is that Huo Shouqi, who has been a Taoist priest in Jiangnan for many years, seems to be planted this time too!

The reason is to say it seems, but not to say a certain word.

It's because Huo Shouqi was not arrested or devalued, but was promoted!

However, he was promoted to the position of Governor of Western Liaoning Province!

Although it is said that the Taoist priest in the south of the Yangtze River has changed from the Taoist priest of the third rank to the governor of Liaoxi Province from the second rank, an idiot can see that this is a rising and a secret relegation.

In the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, whether an official's powers and powers are heavy or his future cannot be solely based on his grade.

Chen Lifu is a typical example. If you want to say that his grade is only the fourth grade, he is the magistrate of the special county in Shanghai, and the only one in the country. He has a bright future.

And other domestic officials of the fourth rank, such as the prefects of other prefectures, are also of the fourth rank, but can they compare with Chen Lifu?

Impossible, even some officials from the third rank or even the official third rank, their power is not comparable to Chen Lifu, a Shanghai county magistrate.

Jiangnan Taoist, don't look at it as a Taoist of the third grade, but because of the particularity of Jiangnan Road, its political status is among the top officials of many provincial roads in the country, and it is among the top three existences!

In other words, the governors of ordinary provinces are actually not as good as the Taoist priests of Jiangnan.

According to normal circumstances, Huo Shouqi is about to be promoted, but he should have fallen directly into Gyeonggi and served as a servant of a certain department, and he has to be a left servant.

But now, not only did he fail to join the cabinet, but he was transferred to western Liaoning as the governor.

Although the rank has also been upgraded to the second rank, can the governor of western Liaoning Province be compared with the Taoist priests of Jiangnan?

Impossible.

Outsiders don't know that the reason why Huo Shouqi is unlucky is not because of his own problems. Well, although he also has corruption, this little economic problem is not in Li Xuan's eyes.

What makes Li Xuan most dissatisfied is that the huge Jiangnan Road, the core area that provides more than half of the empire's fiscal revenue, the corruption situation is so serious, it is not much better than the Jiangbei Road, and even the amount of corruption is even more. Compared with many provincial highways across the country, the corruption situation in Jiangnan Road is enough to rank in the top three.

Among the prefectures and counties under Jiangnan Road, only Shanghai County is in better condition. Most of the other prefectures and counties have many problems!

Under such circumstances, although Huo Shouqi himself did not have much problem, Li Xuan believed that the officer was unilaterally pursuing economic development and thus neglected the administration of officials.

In other words, Huo Shouqi actually saw the problems, but for the sake of local stability and economic development, he tolerated or ignored these problems, which caused the problems to become more and more serious.

If such a big basket appeared in Jiangnan Road, if Huo Shouqi's own economic problems were not serious, and when he was in charge of Jiangnan, he also made great contributions to the economic development of Jiangnan Road, then Li Xuan would have shot him long ago. .

Now getting him to serve as governor of Western Liaoning Province can be regarded as a punishment.

Li Xuan still hopes that he can reflect and realize that his mistakes are corrected. After all, in the political arena of the empire, there are too few senior officials who are good at developing the economy and people's livelihood like Huo Shouqi.

At least after Huo Shouqi was transferred, Li Xuan didn't know who should be the Taoist of Jiangnan Road for a while.

This position is too important. In Li Xuan's heart, the importance of this position is more important than that of any provincial governor or Taoist in the country, and even more important than the ministers of various ministries.

Its importance is on a par with other ministers.

Therefore, the new Taoist members ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ must be highly qualified, able to control Jiangnan Road, and at the same time must be officials who are good at developing the economy and people's livelihood.

Li Xuan chose to choose, and finally summoned Xiang Hanyi, Jia Wenbo, and Xiao Fangquan to urgently go to Beijing to report their duties!

It is said to be a debriefing, but everyone with discernment knows that Li Xuan is to select the new Taoist members of Jiangnan Road!

If it was an ordinary high-ranking official, Li Xuan usually wouldn't do this.

The provincial governors, the four Taoists of Zhili, and the servants are often the officials who list all the qualified candidates. This list is naturally very large, and then it is handed over to the imperial study for discussion. Finally, the ministers on duty in the imperial study choose three. When five candidates are recommended to the Son of Heaven, the ministers must also explain in detail the reasons for the recommendation, and finally report to Li Xuan.

Of course, whether Li Xuan chooses or not is another matter.

Because at the same time, the personnel department of the Hanlin Academy will also recommend several candidates according to Li Xuan's request, and at the same time, Li Xuan will also have several candidates in his heart.

In the end, after comprehensive consideration, Li Xuan will choose one person to become the new governor, Taoist priest, or servant.

In other words, there is a list of candidates, the recommendation of the imperial study, the recommendation of the Imperial Academy, and then the factors for the Son of Heaven to decide.

But this time, Li Xuan directly recalled these three people back to Beijing to report their duties. This was to make it clear that he would personally test these three people, and then decide on the candidates of Jiangnan Taoist priests.

As for who among the three will eventually become the new Daoist of Jiangnan, it is unknown.

At least, Li Xuan himself did not have a clear choice.
