Chapter 474: Lonely Minister
Jia Xu smiled and said: "The lord is a test of his humble duties, depending on the bottom, the lord only needs to arrest a few corrupt officials and punish them severely, and the people will naturally be grateful to the lord when they see the corrupt officials being arrested." , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ . β
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "It's still Wen He's old plan, so let's do it." β
In fact, Liu Xiu wanted to stabilize the situation in the 'Jiaozhou', on the one hand, to let the Shi family work for him, and on the other hand, he really needed prestige.
To achieve such a goal, we must not let the scholars be the same as the light.
The Shi family must be isolated and cannot join forces with the major families.
At the same time, the scholars must not be able to protect each other. In the past, in order to win over some officials, the scholar family would turn a blind eye to officials who were corrupt and perverted the law, but when it came to Liu Xiu, this was absolutely not possible.
If such a thing continues to happen, then the 'Jiao' state will definitely rot.
Therefore, the only way to say this is to beat Shixie.
Anyway, Shi Xie is an old fritter and has enough endurance to resist his beating.
Liu Xiu shouted: "Deng Zhan!"
"In!"
Deng Zhan walked in from outside the tent and bowed.
Liu Xiu said: "You go and 'touch' the bottom of the officials of Cangwu County, and list the corrupt officials for me." β
"No!"
Deng Zhan got the order, turned around and went down to carry out the task.
Pang Tong said with a smile: "Lord, Mr. Wenhe's words, Shi Xie should have a headache again." β
Jia Xu said: "The old man didn't do anything bad, the old man just let what should happen happen in advance." If we don't arrest corrupt officials now, we will have to arrest them sooner or later. β
Pang Tong said: "Yes, what you always say is reasonable." β
Liu Xiu watched the two talk and laugh, and he was also happy in his heart.
After the two went down, Liu Xiu handled government affairs in the camp tent while waiting for news.
......
Governor's Mansion, Study.
Shi Xie was so busy during this time that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he had too many things to deal with. 'Jiao' Zhou is the same in Liu Bei's hands, and it is the same in his hands.
There are too many things to coordinate, and Shi Xie is also a headache. Fortunately, Shixie has enough prestige, things will not stagnate, and everything is going on in an orderly manner.
"Knock! knock!"
The knock on the door sounded outside the study.
Shi Xie said, "Come in!"
The 'door' of the room opened, and a middle-aged man walked in, he was Shi Xie's staff Zhao Yan Zhao Wenwei, and Shi Xie's confidant.
After Zhao Yan entered, he bowed his hand, and then sat down.
Shi Xie said: "Wen Yu, is there something wrong?"
Zhao Yan replied: "My lord, just got the news, Liu Jingzhou seems to be sending someone to investigate the officials of Cangwu County. For the time being, this matter is only news, and I don't know if it's true or not. β
Brush!
Shi Xie's face 'color' suddenly changed.
In the eyes, there is a contemplative look.
"Alas......"
Shi Xie sighed lightly and said, "It's not easy to do things under Liu Xiu. β
Zhao Yan said: "Why did your lord say this?"
Shi Xie replied: "Liu Xiu asked the official to open a warehouse and release grain to help the disaster. At that time, with the help of Liu Xiu's hand, the old man killed the two rival families of Cangwu County and the Shi family, and made up food. Originally, it was a happy thing, but Liu Xiu was not satisfied, so the old man asked the old man to find food from major families, so that he offended many families. The scholar family and the major families 'befriended' evil, and were gradually isolated. This situation was all caused by Liu Xiu. Now it seems that Liu Xiu is going to attack the officials again, and I am afraid that it will 'ripple' to the old man again. β
Zhao Yan said: "Since the adults understand, what are you going to do?"
Shi Xie looked helpless and said, "Since you have stepped on Liu Xiu's boat, there is no way. β
Zhao Yan said: "Liu Xiu is not simple. β
Shi Xie replied: "If Liu Xiu is simple, then it is impossible for him to be in charge of Jingzhou at such an age, and he can still defeat Cao 'Cao' and suppress Sun Quan." This person is not an easy person. β
"Report!"
Outside the study, there was another knock on the door.
The attendant said, "My lord, Liu Jingzhou has sent someone to deliver a message, please go." β
Shi Xie said: "The official will go immediately!"
Shi Xie shrugged his shoulders, looked helpless, and said, "Look, this person just can't say it." As soon as I said it, it came. He got up and left the governor's mansion, and went out of the city to Liu Xiu's camp.
Out of the state pastor's mansion, Shi Xie came to the camp and saw Liu Xiu in the camp.
"Meet the Lord!"
Shi Xie bowed and saluted.
Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Duke Wei Yan, please take a seat!"
Shi Xie said, "Thank you, lord!"
After taking his seat, Shi Xie asked, "Is there anything wrong with the lord's invitation to come to the humble position?"
Liu Xiu took a roll of bamboo slips out of his hand, let Deng Zhan hand them to Shi Xie's hand, and said, "Wei Yangong, take a look!" The contents on the bamboo slips are all news from Deng Zhan's investigation. It's not bad, I don't know, I was shocked when I checked it. Many officials in Cangwu County have evidence of corruption and perverting the law. Moreover, these incriminating evidence do not need to be 'peeled' off the cocoon, and they can be easily found.
Shi Xie's hand trembled slightly, opened the bamboo slip, and with a sweep of his eyes, his hand couldn't help but tremble.
The incriminating evidence of each official is all clearly listed.
Liu Xiu 'handed over' these to him to deal with, clearly asking him to do it. In fact, these officials and scholars are inextricably linked, and they all have a slight relationship.
Once Shi Xie made a move, it really offended the 'handover' state officialdom.
At that time, the scholar family will be just a scholar family, and it will no longer be the scholar family that called for wind and rain in the past.
Liu Xiu said: "Wei Yangong, what is the difficulty for you to deal with these people?"
Shi Xie arched his hand and said: "Back to the lord, the humble position must give the lord a 'handover' generation." β
Liu Xiudao: "It's not for me to give a 'Jiao' generation, but to give a 'Jiao' generation to the people of Cangwu County and even 'Jiao' Prefecture." This new official has three fires in office, and you are 'handing' the history of the state assassin, which is to let the people see the difference and let them trust the government. β
"Yes, the lowly will get things done. β
Shi Xie's heart was dripping blood, and what Liu Xiu gave him was a hot potato.
This time, it's really difficult.
But Shi Xie has to take it if he doesn't take it, and he must do it according to Liu Xiu's intentions.
Shi Xie said: "Without further ado, the minister will deal with it." β
"Go ahead!"
As soon as Liu Xiu waved his hand, he asked Shi Xie to retreat. Seeing Shi Xie leave, Liu Xiu said: "Deng Zhan, carefully stare at Shi Xie's actions to see how he deals with these corrupt officials. β
"No!"
When Deng Zhan heard this, he hugged his fists and responded.
Shi Xie returned to the state pastoral mansion and invited Zhao Yan to the study.
Zhao Yan said, "My lord, what did Liu Xiu arrange?"
Shi Xie took out the bamboo slip given by Liu Xiu and said, "Liu Xiu wants to wash the officialdom of Cangwu County with blood, and among the officials of Cangwu County, almost all of the people involved in corruption and perversion of the law have been listed. This time, Liu Xiu is going to use the old man's hand to kill. Liu Xiu did this, and the people naturally thought of him, but these dead officials, as well as those who were not killed, would definitely hate the old man. β
Zhao Yan suddenly said: "My lord, I thought of two words. β
Shi Xie said, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Yan said word by word: "Lone Chen!"
Rumble!
Shi Xie instantly understood, and his eyes showed an incredible look.
Zhao Yan said: "Liu Xiu's purpose in doing this, on the one hand, is indeed to rectify the officialdom, so that the people can think of his good and think that Liu Xiu is a promising person. On the other hand, whether it is the previous 'Jiao' state family or the 'Jiao' state officialdom, the adults have been offended. The current situation is clearly a lonely minister. β
Shi Xie pinched the beard under his chin and said, "The old man didn't think about this aspect before, but now it seems that this is indeed the case." β
Zhao Yan said: "If this is the case, it is a good thing. β
Shi Xie said: "That's true, if Liu Xiu is letting the old man be a lonely minister, at least Liu Xiu trusts the old man." Although the old man is old, he is healthy, and he can still see the day when Liu Xiu competes in the world. β
The corners of Zhao Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in his heart, you really know how to think about it, and you immediately thought of Liu Xiu chasing the world.
Shi Xie laughed and said, "The old man knows what to do, since Liu Xiu asked the old man to make his knife, then make the knife." β
Zhao Yan said: "My lord, there is another suggestion below. β
Shi Xie asked, "What advice?"
