As for the governor of Mizhou, maybe because a few henchmen were arrested, for fear that those henchmen would say something that shouldn't be said, and there was some eagerness in his heart. On the second day after Huang Qiong returned to Zhengzhou, he took the state and state judgment of Mizhou to Zhengzhou Mansion. It's just that this Lord Zhizhou may think that he is tough in the background, and even the prince of England has to give three points.

So when I came to the Zhengzhou Mansion, I didn't have half a bit of fear at all. Even that posture is not like a confession, but an upright one. Not to mention seeing Su Jin and Jian Yong, who were his superiors, they didn't even have the most basic courtesy. Even when I saw Huang Qiong, her nostrils were facing the sky, and she ignored her arrogant face, and her arrogance was not ordinary arrogance.

After bowing slightly, he saluted, and said arrogantly: "King Ying, it is true that you are the prince of the current dynasty, but you have no right to interfere with the local authorities, let alone arrest people casually." A few of the official's minions, I don't know that they offended the king there, and they were actually locked up by the king of England at will, should the king give an explanation to the official? ”

Seeing this guy's arrogance, Huang Qiong smiled instead of being angry: "Chen Zhizhou, if this king is not mistaken, this king is not only the prince of the dynasty now, but also the envoy responsible for all the aftermath of Zhengzhou." The emperor doesn't seem to have done so, so he will be exempted from this king's errand. Since the emperor did not exempt the king from his errand, on the ground of Zhengzhou Mansion, the king still has the final say. ”

"Not to mention taking a few evil slaves from the people of fish and meat, it is also within the scope of the king's authority to take you, the Lord of Zhizhou. I don't know how Chen Zhizhou said it so openly. People who have a strong attitude and take things that are not taken for granted, this king has seen a lot. But to the point of being so brazen that Chen Zhizhou is really rare. ”

"This king asks you, the imperial court has issued an edict to exempt the Zhengzhou Mansion from money and grain for three years, who gave you the right to tax the grain so openly? Do you take the emperor's decree as a child's play, or do you not take the emperor and the court in your eyes at all? Those servants of yours, that is, those who are not officials of the imperial court, let alone officials of the government, who gave you the right to let them see the third rank of the official? ”

"The people can't afford to pay your so-called money and food, so they rob the ** woman, rip the house and tear it down, forcibly lead the people's livestock, and rob the people's land. In the name of this king, he connived at the evil slaves to commit such crimes. Chen Zhizhou, who gave you such a big guts. Thou yst say, 'How hath this king commanded the people to pay for their money? ”

Although he heard the anger in Huang Qiong's tone, this Chen Zhizhou was not half afraid. On the contrary, he said confidently: "Why did the king of England say this? The official has always acted in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court and has strictly adhered to his duty as an official. How can you despise the emperor and the court? How could this official have privately collected the people's money and grain? The emperor's decree is to reduce the money and grain of Zhengzhou Mansion for three years. ”

"But the emperor is exempting the money and grain for the next three years, and there is not a word in the holy decree that the money and grain in arrears can not be paid. The official did not receive a holy decree, let alone an order from the British king, saying that the money and grain that had been in arrears in the past could not be collected. This official sent people to collect the money and grain owed by the people of Mizhou in the past, I don't know what the crime is? ”

"If the king doesn't believe it, he can ask the few tax collectors who were locked by the king, or ask the people of Mizhou, but the official has levied a penny of money and grain this year? Since King Jing became a vassal in Mizhou, a considerable part of the fields have been in arrears for several years. The land classified as the prince's fief does not need to pay money and grain, this is the ancestral system of the Great Qi Dynasty, and the official has no right to interfere. ”

"But when King Jing was divided at the beginning, if the official is not mistaken, the land that was originally divided into King Jing's fiefdom was all in Guancheng County. In Mizhou, where the official is located, there is not a single acre of land in the territory that is classified as King Jing's fiefdom. Since it is not the prince's fief, what is wrong with the official levying the money and grain owed by the people of Mizhou to make up for the past shortfall? ”

What's more, when King Jing became a vassal back then, the imperial court allocated only 6,000 hectares of food. There was no explicit decree from the imperial court that more than the amount of land that was divided into feudal parcels was not subject to grain collection. It was natural for the people to cultivate the land and pay for the grain. Even if those fields in Mizhou successively became the land of King Jing's mansion, the imperial court did not have a clear decree to tell the official to exempt the money and grain of these lands. ”

In other words, the official is not necessarily the emperor's decree to collect the money and grain in arrears in the past. Now that King Jing is dead, the land has been returned to its original owner. Then these arrears of money and grain, the official will naturally have to collect from the original owner. Could it be that His Royal Highness asked the official to find a dead man to ask for money? ”

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the subordinate officials of Mizhou who were kneeling behind him, then turned his head and said coldly: "This official has always acted in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, I don't know where the words of the British king came from?" If the king doesn't believe him, he can ask them if he has violated the laws of the court since his arrival. ”

I don't know if it's based on the obscenity of this person after he took office, or the concubine who was stunned by this person, as well as the family's power in the court. The officials in Michigan were swept away by his eyes and all bowed their heads, and no one dared to answer. And what disappointed Huang Qiong even more was that he went on a killing spree in Zhengzhou Mansion, and in addition to kowtowing desperately, the Mizhou Prefecture sentence that left people under the knife did not dare to say a word.

Looking at the few officials who put on an ostrich posture and didn't even dare to say a word except for kowtowing desperately, Huang Qiong was secretly a little annoyed in her heart. These people clearly don't believe in him, and they can fight over Concubine De, who is currently in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, and the family behind Chen Zhizhou, known as Chen Banchao. So invariably, at this time, I chose to protect myself.

just understood the thoughts of these officials, but Huang Qiong felt that there was some fire. Think about it, people are ten years of hard work, and they have worked hard to get in the old exam. Or from the seventh or eighth position, I don't know how many gifts I have given, how many years have I wasted, and I have survived to this position, who dares to joke with my official hat?

As the Zhengzhou disposal envoy, he may be transferred back to the DPRK and China at any time to step down. But these officials, this official has to continue to do it. It is even possible that when he came, Chen Zhizhou told these officials that he might be returning to Beijing recently. With Concubine De behind him, plus the family's power in the court, if he didn't know anything about his imminent return to Beijing, it would be a real surprise. Now that he knows, he will naturally reveal it to these officials in order to hold them hostage and shut them up.

Therefore, these officials, between themselves and this Chen Zhizhou, or the forces behind Chen Zhizhou, finally chose the latter. You may not be involved, but you can keep your mouth shut. I am afraid that in the eyes of these officials, after returning to Beijing, they will still be a famous and powerless empty prince, and they may not be able to really decide their life and death, or their future careers.

But the forces behind Chen Zhizhou can easily affect their official positions. It's too easy to find fault and remove a few low-level officials these days. In particular, they are the same as the state and the state judges, and they are more elected officials. It doesn't take a full term to complete, and they can find an excuse to let them lose their official positions and go home.

At that time, because of his brother's death, Emperor Lizong, who was a little unrighteous in the throne, wanted to win over the world's clans to support him. Indeed, it was agreed, and the clan would not levy money and grain for land that exceeded the area of the given land. But the Emperor Lizong, who was not yet deaf, also knew that once this matter was clearly announced to the world, it would hurt public opinion, and if it was not done, it would cause the world to shake.

Therefore, the Emperor Lizong played a trick, and when he issued that holy decree, he did not announce it to the world through the Zhongshu Provincial Decree. Only the next one does not need to be countersigned by the Chinese Book Province, and the Imperial Historical Observatory can refute it, and even do not say the central decree that is not called. The words of the Holy Decree are also vague. If you say yes, you can say yes, and if you say no, it's okay.

Although the purpose of the year was vague, it was not generally vague. But Yushitai did not refute it after all, and the imperial court has formed a default after so many years. After all, no one wants to offend those clans who are still supervising magistrates.

The holy decree of the Great Qi Dynasty is divided into two kinds, one is the express decree of the world through the Zhongshu Province and the Shangshu Province. The other kind of holy decree that does not pass through the Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province, but is directly issued by the emperor through the Inner Service Province is called the Zhongzhi. For the Zhongzhi, the Zhongshu Province and the Imperial Historical Observatory, when they think they need it, can refuse to carry it out by not accepting the holy decree.

Moreover, if the Zhongzhi is the Zhongshu Province and the Shangshu Province, the officials above the six Shangshu departments, the right capital of the Imperial History Observatory, and the officials at the level of the local pacification envoy, they have the right not to obey the edict if they think it is unreasonable. Officials appointed with the rank of six or above shall not be issued a central decree. This is the rule deliberately formulated by Emperor Taizong in order to restrain the indiscriminate administration of future generations.

However, the decree does not need to be announced to the world, and there is no need to go through the province of Zhongshu and Shangshu, and later emperors generally issue decrees when dealing with family affairs. Emperor Lizong of the year took advantage of this loophole and issued such a vague and ambiguous decree that there was no need to announce the world. I don't know how to use it, so that the Zhongshu Province and the Shangshu Province will be honestly edicted.

Huang Qiong didn't expect that the vague and ambiguous way of his ancestor back then, who had actually formed a tacit holy decree over the years, was actually used by this person to refute him. Huang Qiong, who thinks that she is also a person who can speak well, knows that this guy is arguing with reason, but for a while, she can't find a reason to refute this excuse.

Seeing that the king of England was justified by this person's strong words, his face was so angry that his face was extremely pale, and Su Jin felt that he couldn't help but speak. Things have come to this point, and there is no room for retreat. If you can't take him down today, how can you, the prefect, continue to do it? This person is so arrogant in the face of a prince, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for me to restrain this person in the future.

When something happens, the board will still hit himself, the direct superior. Su Jin knows how many people he has offended in the officialdom over the years. Those people may not dare to deal with this Chen Zhizhou, but I am afraid that they will never show mercy to themselves. Since their release, those people are waiting to find loopholes so that they can rectify themselves openly.

This guy will have an incident in the east window in the future, and he may not really have anything to do under the protection of Concubine De and his family. But I definitely can't escape no matter what. When the time comes, I just hope that there will not be too many boards on myself. What's more, you can't rely on the British king for everything. Now that the king is here, he can do what he should do without distractions.

But sooner or later, the King of England will return to Beijing, if he relies on the King of England to help him in everything, then what will happen to the King of England after he returns to Beijing? The most important thing is that if this person is not taken down, Mizhou does not know how many people will be ruined, and the family will be ruined again. Is it really going to go to a step where the government forces the people to rebel?

It is said that being an official is not the master of the people, so it is better to go home and sell turnips. If you know that this person has been guilty since he took office, and he is afraid of offending people and he is not as good as a silence, then his own prefect is just as unqualified as the king said, and what kind of face do you have to meet the people of Zhengzhou? If justice is not done for the people now, when will it be?
