Chapter 987: Li Kaifang's advice
Zhou Wenzheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, had even explained the aftermath to his family, and waited at home every day for bad people to come to the door, but after waiting for several days, several cronies were locked up and raided his home, but he was the only one who did not move. On this day, after breakfast, there was the order of Dali Temple, and it was said that he received an official letter from the political hall, so that he hurried to Dali Temple to sit in the hall.
The so-called sitting hall is the office, think about it, Dali Temple up and down two temples, a number of positions, were captured, if it were not for the former Dali Temple Shaoqing in Tubo when the city was persecuted by Yu Chaoen and died, I am afraid that they will also be implicated.
When Zhou Wenzheng heard that the Political Affairs Hall had asked him to go to Dali Temple to sit in the hall, his heart was like fifteen buckets, and he didn't know what tricks the Fifth Qi was playing. Lingshi and Shulingshi are both small officials who are not in the stream, and they have a huge number in the Tang Dynasty government, responsible for the direct operation of various general affairs, and people like them can be specially received by the chief officials, which is extremely rare and glorious.
However, Ling Shi was a little impatient at this time, after all, Zhou Wen was a fat cow to be slaughtered, and if he was implicated because of this, it would be extremely unlucky! However, Zhou Wenzheng is still the secretary of Dali Temple, and the order of the chief official can only be responded to.
Zhou Wenzheng inquired in detail about his absence in the past few days, and the facts were as he expected, the bad people arrested many officials every day, and the people in Dali Temple were panicked, but many books Ling Shi and Ling Shi were holding their arms and looking lively, don't look at these green-robed officials and scarlet robes are full of posture on weekdays, and when it comes to the current situation, they are all so frightened that their faces are like ashes, their bodies are like sifting chaff, and even a few people even have problems walking, and they were dragged out by two bad people.
To be honest, many people also plan to see the ugliness of Zhou Wenzheng, the chief official of Dali Temple, but this guy is very smart, and he is only waiting at home for the moment when the catastrophe is coming. It's a pity, after waiting for a few days, the show has not been staged for a long time, and now the political hall has asked him to return to Dali Temple to sit in the hall, and everyone has begun to speculate whether this is a blessing or a curse for Zhou Wenzheng.
Yin Shiyi, the servant of the Criminal Department, sat opposite the Fifth Qi, he was a cronie of the Fifth Qi, who was originally just a Lang Zhong of the Household Department, but later after the Fifth Qi Jin entered the political affairs hall, he quickly promoted his henchmen as a help.
"Xianggong hangs Zhou Wenzheng like this, but that guy is better than dead!"
Fifth Qi sighed lightly:
"There's no way to do it, Doctor Qin and Xia Xianggong both said hello, and the people involved in the Dali Temple should be raised and put down lightly, and the rectification of discipline has been carried out for many days, if it continues, I am afraid that everyone in the court officials is in danger, and naturally there will be no serious people!"
"It's a pity, it's a pity, otherwise after the people involved in this matter are severely punished, who else would dare to touch the tiger's whiskers!"
Fifth Qi waved his hand, his face showing disapproval.
"The superior Liwei is not killing, only outstanding ability and outstanding political achievements are fundamental, otherwise there is no reputation, and it is just a leather drum that is useless!"
"What Xiang Gong said is that those people who are locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department are making them worry and fear for a few more days, thinking that their lives will be short, otherwise we will be ......in vain this time."
Suddenly, the Fifth Qi Divine Light flashed, and said with a stern face:
"Remember, the imperial court is now strictly investigating corruption, don't accept the money from the family members involved, and if you do, you have to return it immediately!"
Yin Shiyi's face was embarrassed:
"This ...... The subordinates got it."
Although he was embarrassed, he looked at Fifth Qi's grim face, and still swallowed back the words that came to his lips. Seeing this, Fifth Qi's complexion softened again.
"It's not that I'm embarrassed for you, it's okay to give you a mouth, Doctor Qin and Xia Xianggong have just discussed the key points of discipline in the next half year, that is, to strictly investigate corruption, but in order not to put everyone in danger, the time point of cutting is after Chang'an Kefu, although the previous problems will not be completely investigated, but most of the actual situation can be dealt with lightly. ”
As he spoke, Fifth Qi's gaze suddenly sharpened, staring directly at Yin Shiyi.
"I know what you think, I have a lot of power now, and I think I can do it freely...... Now I might as well remind you that Xia Xianggong is not the only one in charge of rectifying discipline in the imperial court, and a separate one will be established soon, independent of the three provinces and six ministries, and even the political affairs hall has no right to intervene......"
"Could it be that it belongs directly to Qin ......?"
Fifth Qi glared at Yin Shiyi again, and said angrily:
"Of course, I am directly under the orders of the Son of Heaven! Do you know how powerful it is? Including me and Xia Xianggong will also become the targets of supervision anytime and anywhere, let alone you? Once the Dali Temple Nest case is over, the family members of the criminals feel that they have been deceived, or they are unwilling, and when the time comes, they will sue you, and no one ......can save them."
Yin Shiyi's back began to see cold sweat, and he began to rejoice that he was the fifth Qi's confidant, otherwise he would really wake up when the incident happened, and it would be really regretful. As soon as he thought of this, he quickly stood up and gave a deep swipe at the fifth Qi:
"If it weren't for the minister's reminder, the subordinates almost made a big mistake, the subordinates, the subordinates will go back and try their best to make up for it......"
Seeing that Yin Shiyi paid attention to his warning, Fifth Qi beckoned him again and motioned for him to sit down.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be too impatient about returning the bribe, it's okay to find a few excuses to scare and scare them......"
Yin Shiyi couldn't help but praise secretly, or the fifth minister, otherwise he returned the bribe, where would he be able to stand up straight in front of his colleagues in the future?
On the same day, many family members of convicts received money returned by officials at all levels of the Criminal Department, presumably on the grounds that the case was serious and it was difficult to help them. All of a sudden, the families of the convicts were in mourning, some were desperate, and some were heartbroken.
Li Kaifang, a member of the military department, sat in the car neatly dressed, this was a car sent by the Shenwu Army Marshal, saying that Doctor Qin intended to see it.
After escaping death, of course he could guess that this must be inseparable from Qin Jin, and Qin Jin's reputation was outstanding, so he was full of expectations for this meeting.
When I saw Qin Jin, I realized that the image of Zhide was very different from that of three years ago. At that time, he had a bearded face, but now he has obviously been carefully trimmed, and his whole temperament is very different from the previous image of Takefu.
At that time, there were always people who adhered to the ancient precepts to the extreme, believing that the body was the parent who received the skin, so they had never cut off a single beard since they became adults, but this was also an era when Hu Feng was extremely prosperous, and many people would carefully trim their beard for the sake of beauty, in Li Kaifang's view, Qin Jin obviously belonged to the latter.
He immediately thought of Qin Jin's other identity, this person was still a jinshi in the Tianbao period, they all said that thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young jinshi, and people who can enter the court are not common. It is conceivable that Qin Jin, who is rumored to be in the wind in the government and the opposition, is just a martial artist, which is definitely unreliable, and the impression after meeting now also indirectly confirms this.
"The subordinate Li Kaifang visits the doctor!"
Qin Jin motioned for him to sit down on a couch on the left hand side in front of him, and then another servant served tea specially for entertaining guests.
"Outsider Lang take a taste, this is the tea that Qin has always drunk. ”
Li Kaifang is still quite curious about this clear tea, compared to the tea soup that is popular to add various spices to tea powder, only the faint smell of tea with the heat and mistant, he picked up the celadon tea bowl, and when he was close to his mouth, he could already smell the faint fragrance, and took a sip of the hot tea, the entrance seemed to be astringent and fragrant, although it was not as rich as the tea soup, but it had a different taste and experience.
"The tea is simple, back to basics, and it is elegant!"
Qin Jin laughed twice, and did not continue to discuss the tea soup with him, but directly stated the purpose of meeting today.
"Being able to report Zheng Xianli and Qing Xuzi regardless of the interests is enough to prove that your character is far above the vast majority of officials in the government and the opposition!"
Li Kaifang was uncomfortable when he said this, although he was a little Gengjie, but he was still extremely uncomfortable with this kind of face-to-face praise, but if he denied or was humble in this situation, it would make people feel hypocritical and contrived. If you don't explain, isn't it an endorsement of the other party's praise?
Qin Jin also saw that his words had caused him a lot of embarrassment, so he continued:
"The imperial court intends to correct the discipline, and intends to set up a separate section in addition to the imperial history platform to directly supervise civil and military officials......"
Li Kaifang immediately sniffed out some content from it, now everyone knows that Qin Jin is now the actual ruler in Chang'an City, and he wants to set up a supervision department in addition to the Imperial History Tower, obviously dissatisfied with the corrupt and corrupt officialdom since Kaiyuan Tianbao, but this is not what he wants to say here.
"The doctor intends to clear the situation, and although the subordinates are slight, they are also willing to do their best. However, the subordinates have the courage to ask today, in what name is the doctor commanding in government and military affairs?"
Li Kaifang's bold question made Qin Jin stunned, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes, speculating about the purpose of the other party's question.
"To tell the truth, Qin Mou is shallow, and he was ranked in the important ministers and court class before he was established, and he was terrified every day, and now he just wants to be behind the scenes, give advice to the political hall, and put forward some reasonable suggestions!"
Qin Jin really doesn't want to be promoted anymore, it's better to keep a low profile than to be too ostentatious, as long as he can control the real power, what does it matter?
Li Kaifang said:
"If the name is not right, it is not good, if the doctor thinks that this can avoid the boycott, it is wishful thinking!"
Qin Jin's heart moved, and he immediately understood what Li Kaifang wanted to say and what his purpose was.
Sure enough, without waiting for him to answer, Li Kaifang said to himself again:
"If the doctor is willing to take up the burden and lead the country's affairs, he must open a government and build a government, so that the subordinates are willing to go to the soup and never spin around!"
