Chapter 1378: The Storm Rises (Part II)
Three days later, with the sound of a gunshot in front of the yamen of Wannian County, Ding Wencai's head almost turned into a rotten watermelon, and his death was no less tragic than that of the beheading, so that half of the good deeds who came to watch the execution vomited on the spot.
At the same time, Li Chengqian was squatting in the old man's study, sneakily stuffing a fine brush into his sleeve.
"You don't write calligraphy, is it useful to steal that?" Just when Li Chengqian thought he was done, the old man's voice appeared behind him.
"Uh......" Comrade Xiao Li turned his head in embarrassment and said: "That, father, this thief is not a thief, this is an elegant thing, and it will not lose a good talk in the future." โ
"Alright, dare to put me back." The old man glared at his son, then walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down: "There are now more than 80 copies of the impeachment of you, and this is not counting the resignation letters handed in by the Gyeonggi prefectures and counties, how do you think I should deal with this matter?" โ
Li Chengqian, who was caught stealing things, put the old man's pen back in its place, and hesitated for a while: "The matter of impeachment is a big deal, and as for the resignation...... We Datang will not have no outgoing audit, right? โ
"What is an outgoing audit?" His Majesty Li Er looked at his son suspiciously.
"It is whether those officials have completed their work tasks during their tenure, and the financial situation in the yamen ......, these things must always be examined, and they can't do what they want, and they can't just hang up if they don't want to do it!" Li Chengqian pouted and said.
"You want to play a one-handed procrastinator?" His Majesty Li Er instantly understood what Li Chengqian meant, and his fingers lightly tapped the table, as if he was wondering if it was feasible to do so.
"It's not dragging, it's intimidation, Erchen believes that none of these officials have a clean underside of their buttocks, and just abuse of power can cut off half of their heads. This is an opportunity to get rid of these borers. โ
Being able to respond to the call of the family to resign en masse during this period is enough to explain a lot of problems, although the family and the scholars took this opportunity to show their strength, but at the same time, it also exposed what kind of chess pieces they had in the low-level officials.
Lao Li's eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingers tapping on the table stopped: "How sure are you?" What if someone instigates a disturbance? I believe that after this incident, you can also see how strong the power of the family is, and this is only the tip of the iceberg of their strength. โ
"They can incite the people, we can too, the 'rebels' are more difficult to control than the people, if they dare to incite the people, we can also give them a fish in troubled waters, and it is still difficult to say who these people listen to at that time."
Li Chengqian did not fail to consider the question raised by the old man, and he believed that the old men of those families would never have failed to consider this. In the same way, his method of dealing with it will also be taken into account by the Maison.
His Majesty Li Er obviously understood what Li Chengqian meant, and while his face changed slightly, he said as if warning: "This matter may be done, but it should not be taken lightly unless it is absolutely necessary, so let's put it aside for now." โ
The old man is different from Li Chengqian, Xiao Li's current state seems to him to be a cub who sells Yetian and is not distressed, anyway, he didn't fight the Tang Dynasty.
But His Majesty Li Er is different, as a person who has personally experienced the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and has experienced the troubled times when there are no people for thousands of miles and no roosters for hundreds of miles, he doesn't want the Tang Dynasty to fall into that kind of chaos again in order to destroy the family.
This is just like the enterprises of later generations, although some companies are on the verge of bankruptcy because of people and debts, but as the founder of the company, they always want to save all this, rather than thinking about breaking and standing up.
In the final analysis, there is actually only one thing, and that is reluctance, reluctant to destroy what you have worked so hard to create.
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er has been maintaining the normal operation of Datang, although he also wants to eliminate those families who compete with him for power, but for the stability of Datang, he has to accommodate them again and again.
"Whoa! The retainers obeyed. Feeling the heaviness in the old man's tone, Li Chengqian respectfully accepted the order. Although it is not clear why his father has been hesitant on the issue of the family, this does not affect Lao Li's authority in his heart.
"Let's not talk about this matter for the time being, what is going on with that Li Yifu? Why did you just let him go in the entire Wannian County? After suppressing Li Chengqian's strange thoughts, His Majesty Li Er was concerned about the affairs of everyone in Wannian County.
"Li Yifu is a scheming person, good at tricks, and unwilling to be subservient, and Erchen thinks that he can play an important role in this matter." Li Chengqian did not hide his evaluation of Li Yifu, frankly.
"Why use this person when you know that this person has so many shortcomings?" His Majesty Li Er's face was slightly gloomy.
"Father, just because such a person is easy to use, the next thing needs a shrewd person to deal with, and a person like Sun Fujia is not suitable."
It is fundamental for smart people to stop talking to each other, Li Chengqian does not need to explain why Li Yifu is so useful, nor does he need to explain why Sun Fujia is not suitable for dealing with this matter, a simple sentence has made Lao Li understand the whole matter.
"Hmm. If only you could understand the key. However, I remind you that if Li Yifu is really like you said, then this person is not a good minister. โ
"Whoa! Erchen knew that this person could only be used as a restraint, and would not be the main thing of one party. โ
The most exciting thing in the old man's life is the employment of people, so Li Chengqian doesn't think there is anything wrong with the advice from Lao Li, and at the same time plans to follow his reminders.
"It's good that you know for yourself." His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's attitude, but he quickly remembered something, looked at him and asked, "What is the matter with you coming over this time?" โ
"Father, the son is here this time because of that Li Yi Mansion." Li Chengqian said as he took out the letter of appointment from Li Tai and put it on the old man's desk: "This thing still needs you to stamp a seal." โ
"What is this?" His Majesty Li Er reached out and took the letter of appointment, looked up and down and asked.
Li Chengqian knew that the old man was not asking about the letter of appointment itself, but about his purpose, so he explained seriously: "Erchen wants to let that Li Yifu come out to muddy the waters, and at the same time help Erchen distract some attention, this guy is naturally a good hand at doing things, and having him in the middle will make us less passive." โnt
