Chapter 217: The Great Purge
When the Lu family and Li Shimin were fighting in the ring, Chen Fei was also continuing to complete his task, that is, to cooperate with Cui Xiuxiu to win over the Cui family. Soon Chen Fei began to cooperate with Cui Xiuxiu, and Chen Fei soon carried out a purge in the entire Bozhou, and the object of the purge was the Cui family.
"After investigation, Cui Xiang, the commander of Gaotang County, has a corrupt style of life, is arrogant and lascivious, and is not suitable to serve as the head of a county.
"After investigation, Cui Du, the county commander of Wushui County, insulted Shangguan and had no official morality, so he asked the Ministry of Officials to remove Cui Du from his position as the county commander of Wushui County."
"After investigation, Cui Wu, the county commander of Boping County, was domineering in the face of the people and destroyed the image of my Tang Dynasty officials, and suggested that Da Xi Shu should suspend Cui Wu's position for two months of introspection."
……
In his position as a record officer to join the army, Chen Fei sent more than 20 official documents in a row, all of which were official documents about punishing officials in Bozhou. At this time, the whole Bozhou exploded, and it was proposed to punish so many officials by joining the army at one time, which is almost unprecedented. Even if you have the right to supervise officials in your state, there is no one like you who has been impeached everywhere to join the army! What's more, this Bozhou is so close to Beizhou, and many of them are protégés of the Cui family, so it is simply a special shot at the Cui family.
If you want to say that Chen Fei has a fair heart, it is completely a fart. Because these punished officials are all people who are related to the Cui family, many of them are collateral relatives of the Cui family, or some collateral in-laws of the Cui family, and the literati who helped them be promoted. Those scribes who took refuge in the Cui family and relied on the Cui family for promotion were also punished.
Because of the existence of Ma Zhou, Chen Fei is very familiar with the relationship between Bozhou, and Chen Fei probably understands who is who. Therefore, Chen Fei easily found out those people from the Cui family, and then punished them in a targeted manner. Plus the existence of this person Arima Zhou. It is completely possible to find those various related households of the Cui family, and it is easy to get their usual handles. With these handles, Chen Fei was easily able to find an excuse to clean them up.
However, these excuses are also very far-fetched. For example, that Cui Xiang, the so-called corruption of life, is just because Cui Xiang lingers. Lou's hobby, this kind of thing is nothing to ancient officials. And in this Cui family's territory, that's not even more. But now he has been caught by Chen Fei and deducted a hat of corrupt life and arrogance and lasciviousness. It is recommended that the post be dismissed.
And the so-called Cui Du just scolded Chen Fei, and Chen Fei very unceremoniously charged him with insulting the officials, and directly suggested that the officials remove him from his official position. In the end, it is normal for Cui Wu to be unfriendly to the people, but in ancient times, there were several officials who were friendly to the people, but now Chen Fei relied on this reason to vigorously criticize him for destroying the image of the Tang Dynasty officials, and asked him to stop his post and reflect for two months. In this way, for people in this era, they are really picking bones in eggs.
"Chen joins the army, isn't this right?" Ma Zhou asked.
But Chen Fei said: "Don't be afraid, there's nothing to be afraid of?" We are a pawn now, and those Cui family grudges against the emperor. There is the emperor who carries the black pot for us, not afraid. ”
Of course, Chen Fei wouldn't say that he did it for a reason, and he didn't mean to clean up these guys. But for a deeper reason, as for this purpose, it is not suitable to say to Ma Zhou. After all, there is such a thing as confidentiality, and the fewer people know about it. That, of course, the better. If more people know, it is inevitable to spread it. Therefore, Chen Fei could not let this secret be exposed before he achieved his goal, because this involved the agreement between Chen Fei and Cui Xiuxiu.
And Chen Fei is not afraid of what the Cui family can do to him, after all, Chen Fei is just a pawn, and those Cui families think that the real mastermind is Li Shimin, so Li Shimin carries the black pot for Chen Fei, so there is no need to worry at all.
"Ma Zhou, let's look for the second group of people. The first batch is just a purge of those officials with grades, and then I will carry out the second batch of purges, this batch is for ordinary scribes, as well as people of the rank of assistant teachers such as official schools. Chen Fei said.
"Even the scribes won't let go?" Ma Zhou asked.
Ma Zhou was really amazed enough by Chen Fei's behavior, Chen Fei not only cleaned up those officials who had entered the ranks, but even those ordinary scribes did not let go, this is really ruthless. Chen Fei seems to be about to become an officialdom butcher, the kind of person who has cut off the future of others.
Chen Fei not only did not let go of those officials who entered the ranks, but he was so crazy that he didn't even let go of the scribes. These scribes are also people who take money to do things, so they don't care who is in office, they will obey the orders of their superiors no matter who they are, after all, their future is relatively difficult. Scribes elsewhere may have some up-and-coming ideas that can win a position as an official. But here, it's too difficult, after all, this is the Cui family's base camp, and so many collateral and in-laws of the Cui family can't be arranged, so how can it be arranged for these scribes to them? And Ma Zhou said that the suppression of the scholar clan also has a certain reason, because this place is really not suitable for the survival of these scribes, and these scribes have no future at all.
But now Chen Fei didn't even let go of these scribes, obviously wanting to put them in the target together. Chen Fei is now completely learning the spirit of swatting flies and fighting tigers in later generations, and he specially spares none of these people, and all of them must be impeached. Although it is a big question how many people can be impeached, Chen Fei's attitude is obviously to oppose the Cui family.
"Chen joins the army, although we want to help Cui Sangongzi, you don't have to hit others like this, right? Although these people are all people from Cui Dagongzi and Cui Ergongzi, is it too obvious to suppress them like this? Ma Zhou asked.
Chen Fei immediately said: "Don't worry, it'll be fine, someone of us will cooperate with us and sing a double reed with us!" ”
"Double reed?" Ma Zhou didn't understand what the double reed meant.
However, no matter what happened to Ma Zhou, it was a major purge, and the personnel in the official government in Bozhou were all purged. Especially those who are the eldest son of Cui and the second son of Cui will be the first batch to be purged. And this purge is destined to be made to jump, and this is also one of Chen Fei and Cui Xiuxiu's strategies. If they are not all cleansed, then how can Cui Xiuxiu have the opportunity to show them favors? (To be continued......)
