"Chen County Order, I will rely on you in the future!" Zeng Qing suddenly said with a pleading look.
"Ahh Chen Fei hurriedly said solemnly.
Zeng Qing had no "bones" so much that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Fei. But Chen Fei immediately stopped it, after all, this brother-in-law who is also a thorn in history, how could he receive such a great gift! So of course Chen Fei didn't dare, but there was definitely a reason why Zeng Qing felt so pitiful. If Chen Fei doesn't ask clearly, then he can't rest assured!
"Chen County Order, I can only rely on you to save me, you must pull me!" Zeng Qing said very undignified.
"What the hell is going on? Couldn't Zhang Qiang's assassination still help you? Chen Fei asked.
Zeng Qing smiled bitterly and said, "My brother-in-law can't help me, because he will be transferred away in a short time!" ”
Only then did Chen Fei know that it was his backer who was about to be transferred, so he finally knew that he was in trouble after he had no backer. The specific reason, Zeng Qing also said it immediately, that is, because Zhang Qiang has deep roots here, so he was transferred away.
This Zeng Qing is a local, he was promoted to become a small local official at the beginning, and he has been an official here since the Sui Dynasty. After years of hard work, it can be said that it has become the history of Shuozhou. And Zeng Qing can be said to have deep roots here, and all kinds of relationships are very powerful. Now he is the assassin of Shuozhou, it can be said that Shuozhou is also a soil emperor, almost a word. But it is precisely because of this that he was sued.
This incident happened not long ago, but at that time, Chen Fei was in charge of his own affairs and did not know about the affairs of Chang'an. A superintendent in Chang'an sued Zeng Qingyi, saying that he was accused of forming a gang or something in Shuozhou. Anyway, it's just to put a basin on his head. Of course, the top is not stupid, and he will not be punished because of some groundless wind. However, Zeng Qing's deep-rooted roots here are also a problem, after all, in order to maintain national unity since ancient times, China has had a written or unwritten rule, that is, the system of being an official in a different place.
Locals are generally not able to serve as local officials, that is, people from this city cannot be leaders in this city, and people from this county cannot be leaders in their own county. This situation also existed until later generations, this is to avoid nepotism, resulting in local collusion against the central government, and to a certain extent, to maintain national unity.
However, at that time, Zeng Qing was able to serve as a local in this state. That's also because he was a local, and Li Tang had just been established at that time, and what he needed was a quick and stable place. And because of this, a large number of locals were appointed, so Zhang Qiang was able to serve as the governor of this state. However, now that the world is at peace, it's time to clean up these guys.
"Originally, during the defense of Chang'an, the central court took over the military power of the guarded officials, and the wary officials did not have the strength to rebel. However, it has now reached the second step, which is to restore the rules of being an official in a different place. Chen Fei thought.
Chen Fei knew that this might be because the Central Committee of the Tang Dynasty had begun to adjust the positions of these officials. In particular, the number one should never be held by their locals. Zhang Qiang, as a local, is naturally within the scope of adjustment. Therefore, I am afraid that in the future, there will be a nationwide personnel adjustment, and those officials who are local people will gradually adjust their positions to each other. Then go somewhere else to become an official. In this way, local nepotism is avoided and then the local government is controlled to blackmail the central government.
"Since my brother-in-law was sued, he also asked to be transferred. Therefore, now few people listen to my brother-in-law's words. In a few months, my brother-in-law may be transferred. Zeng Qing said nervously.
Chen Fei thought secretly: "It turns out that this Zhang Qiang has become a lame duck thorn history, no wonder Zeng Qing is in a hurry!" ”
The so-called lame duck refers to politicians who have lost their development prospects. For example, later generations often talked about the lame duck presidents of foreign countries. That is, when the last year of his term of office was approaching, and because the end of his term was approaching, the prestige of the president was greatly reduced, and not many people took his words and orders seriously. Anyway, even if there is something disrespectful, people will not listen.
Of course, this is also different from the puppet that has been set up, and the puppet is a complete loss of power, or even personal freedom. However, the degree of this lame duck is not so serious, at most it has lost its development prospects, and there is no future in the local area or the department, so the local area or the department has no influence.
Since Zhang Qiang will be transferred away in a few months, he will last in these months. In these last few months, his authority will be reduced to the extreme, after all, everyone knows that he is going to be transferred, who will take him seriously!
However, Chen Fei also admired this Zhang Qiang a little, and he was able to take the initiative to ask for a transfer, without the slightest idea of not going to the stack. Then the network that has been running for a long time has given up and is willing to go to another place to serve as an official who is not able to say anything.
This Zhang Qiang definitely knows how strong and determined the Tang Center is for the transfer of officials this time, and it is necessary to maintain the place during the war, so he wants to use locals. But once the world is peaceful, it will definitely not want the locals to be local officials, so that they will have the strength to confront the central government. Therefore, the determination and strength of the central government's regulation and control of the official position this time are absolutely unprecedented, if Zhang Qiang dares to oppose it, then I am afraid that it will be a sword and a sword. Could it be that Zhang Qiang can still rebel? So he must accept this result, he can only go to other places to be an official, otherwise if he doesn't go, then I'm afraid his life will be in danger in the end!
"Chen County Order, I just rely on you!" Zeng Qing pleaded.
"But why don't you go to another place with Zhang Qiang to make a fortune?" Chen Fei asked.
Zeng Qing said helplessly: "If you can, it will be good." All my industries are also in Shuozhou, if I go to other places, then what kind of industry is there to talk about! ”
"I see!" Chen Fei understood.
Zeng Qing is reluctant to wealth, because people can go, but industry can't. Once gone, it is necessary to re-accumulate wealth, and this kind of courage is not something that everyone has. Zhang Qiang is an official, even if he goes to other places, he is also an official, and the treatment of officials will not be less. But he can't leave as a businessman, and once he walks away, he will have nothing.
"Chen County Order, now I will rely on you! If you can let me into this honeycomb coal, then I will definitely thank you, count me as a debt to you! Zeng Qing said.
