At present, the top Hanmen families of the Wei Empire are constantly developing and growing by virtue of their in-law relationship with Guo Peng.

He continued to occupy positions in the General Staff Desk, the Shangshu Desk, the Imperial History Observatory, and the Cabinet, and the momentum was quite good.

In the central government, the number of officials from the poor family is increasing, and it is not far behind in the local area, and in the entire Liangzhou Prefecture, more than half of the subordinate officials are held by the children of the poor family, including the very important position of Fa Cao.

As far as Mao Jie knew, scholars and officials mostly served as landlords, and most of the positions other than the chief officials were held by the sons of the Han family, which was very common in the officialdom of the Wei State.

Some scholars believe that this is Guo Peng's move to limit the power of scholars, but this view is not widespread.

Mao Jue doesn't see it that way, and he has no intention or power to change this situation.

Moreover, he is more concerned about whether he can return to the central government from the local government, take up a position in the central government that he can see, and begin to hold the power of the world.

He has made the magistrate to the extreme, and then he must be a central position.

Only when the power is in the center can the clouds and rain be turned upside down, and most of the power of the Wei Empire is in the center, and as the head of the central government office, can you really hold power, instead of dancing in shackles at the local level.

If Mao Jue wants to be a real boss, he must go to the central government.

And at present, once this matter breaks out without his knowledge, it will seriously affect his career prospects, so he must preemptively seize the opportunity.

So Mao Jue sent his cronies to understand this matter, and at the same time, he also found Zhao Xian, the person in charge of Facao, and had a secret negotiation with him, and explained the matter clearly.

"What? How could this happen?! ”

Zhao Xian was shocked.

He was busy with other cases in his hands, and he never expected that there was a mine buried deep in the ground without him discovering it.

"If someone hadn't told me, I wouldn't have imagined anything like this would have happened."

Mao Jue's face was nervous: "I haven't told Chen Gongtai about this yet, if Chen Gongtai knows, it is estimated that he will be half angry." ”

Zhao Xian gasped.

"The most critical thing now doesn't seem to be this matter, the most critical thing now should be that Zhuge Liang, right?"

Mao Jue was surprised that Zhao Xian had found the key point of this matter so quickly.

It takes time to deal with this matter, and it takes even more time to press it down.

If Zhuge Liang stabbed this matter in Luoyang during this period and was known by the Third Division, they would all face some serious consequences.

Mao Jue's subordinates and Zhao Xian's subordinates are both likely to be involved in the case, and it just so happens that both of them are currently struggling to enter the central government.

Mao Jue wanted to enter a department in Shangshutai to take a major position.

And Zhao Xian also wants to enter the Central Criminal Department to hold an important position, or in the Sili School Captain Department or the Yushitai, anyway, he is good at it.

Both of them belong to the category of people who like power and don't like money.

There are two kinds of corrupt officials, one is greedy for money and belongs to the lower level of corrupt officials, and the other is greedy for power and belongs to the more senior corrupt officials.

The two of them are relatively high-ranking corrupt officials.

Long past the time when they were interested in money, they have gotten rid of that boring and lowly taste, and they are greedy for higher power and status.

The feeling of standing on the top and calling for wind and rain.

The pleasure of pointing the way out.

The wonderful feeling of being in authority is something that only those who have experienced it will understand.

So why do men pursue money?

Are you afraid that you don't have enough material comforts when you have power?

In the Great Wei Empire, money was a slave to power.

If you don't enter Luoyang City as a high-ranking official, you can't be considered a real high-ranking official.

Even if you are a bureaucrat at a higher level than the central government at the local level, it does not count.

Both of them have clear goals.

Therefore, it is even more intolerable for this kind of thing to happen.

When this happens, doesn't it show their incompetence?

If this kind of thing is remembered by the emperor, it is difficult to say whether they will be able to enter the central government in the future, and it is difficult to say whether they will even be able to keep their current position.

In the future, he may not be required to retire early and abdicate to make way for punishment in the future.

How can this be accepted?

So Zhao Xian's idea is also Mao Jue's idea.

"You're right, the most troublesome thing now is not those bastards, but that Zhuge Liang, as long as this matter is caught and severely punished a few excessive bastards, it can be pressed, but once Zhuge Liang stabs him to Luoyang, it will be troublesome."

Mao Jue pursed his lips: "I don't know what kind of person this Zhuge Liang is, I plan to summon him once, probe his tone, and see what he thinks of this matter." ”

"He's got a backstage?"

Zhao Xian squinted his eyes and asked, "Could it be that there are any characters in the court who are embarrassed by filial piety?" ”

"Zhuge Jin, the right attendant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is his brother, Zhang Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has a close relationship with Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Jin was promoted by Zhang Zhao if he can achieve this position.

Zhuge Liang himself is a cabinet member, and he is the former official of His Majesty, and he came to Liangzhou to make a county order from outside the cabinet, which can be said to be very concerned, and some methods in private may not be convenient to use. ”

When Mao Jue said this, Zhao Xian became even more worried.

"This person can't be solved simply, if his goal is to return to Luoyang for meritorious service...... Then the problem is big, and he can also open up the joints of the Ministry of Officials, filial piety, the future of you and me, but the opinions of the Ministry of Ministers are indispensable. ”

Mao Jue nodded.

"I know, that's why I'm going to probe his tone first, not to mention anything else, at least buy you a little time, if Zhuge Liang has a sense of the overall situation, it's okay, if not, you can deal with the problem as soon as possible."

Not to mention that everything is done, at least strive for an initiative, we must take the initiative to do it, put aside the relationship between us and them, and the most important thing at the moment is not to let Zhuge Liang expand the problem.

If those Xuzhou people are asked to grasp the handle, the consequences will be unpredictable, the incident that happened in the court before caused Cheng Lingjun and Tian Servant to shoot serious losses, but it was this group of Xuzhou people who took a big advantage! ”

Zhao Xian also nodded.

"Okay, I'll deal with it as soon as possible, why do you have to fight for the initiative...... Those bastards! Let me know who did it, I won't spare them! ”

Zhao Xian was very angry, angry that this group of bastards did not abide by the laws of the country, so that they would implicate him and affect his future.

Of course, Zhuge Liang is angry that he has nothing to do, and the dog is nosy with a mouse.

A person who came from Luoyang to experience local training, if he didn't know what to do and was rewarded for his meritorious service, they would be really troublesome.

Because no means can be used casually, otherwise they will be caught by surprise and the central government will be aware of them, and their problems will be even greater.

After some discussion, Mao Jue decided to work separately with Zhao Xian, work together, and use his advantages in resources and manpower to start competing for time with Zhuge Liang.

Zhao Xian returned to Facao and began to gather people, give full play to his shrewd and capable work nature, and began to conduct an all-round investigation into this matter.

While Mao Jue sent his henchmen and cronies to carry a large number of files to support Zhao Xian's work, he also sent people to Dunhuang County to summon Zhuge Liang and asked Zhuge Liang to come to Guzang County to meet Mao Jue.

When Zhuge Liang learned about this, he was sorting out the information in his hand, preparing to sort out the matter and then report it to the central government, so that the three divisions would know and participate in punishing corrupt officials.

He didn't know why Mao Jue suddenly summoned him.

Mao Jue is a high-ranking official with a state assassin history, 3,500 stones, and if he wants to summon him, he will also summon the county guard, so it shouldn't have much to do with him, right?

But thinking that it might be some other problems, I had to go, so I could only entrust the government affairs to the county lieutenant, let the county lieutenant manage the county affairs on his behalf, and get up and go to Guzang County, Wuwei County, the capital of Liangzhou.
