Chapter 507: The Most Miserable Hou Ye
After the truth was revealed, the three masters and apprentices fell silent.
They have to admit that this Liu Guang is indeed a talent, and he has played a cunning rabbit strategy to the fullest.
It's no wonder that he had the opportunity to come to Chen Kan to complain, it is estimated that Chang Kun and Tanzhou officialdom did not expect Liu Guang to backstab them, so they relaxed their vigilance.
If this is not Chen Kan, and it is replaced by someone else, I am afraid that Liu Guang will really think that Liu Guang is a good material and beautiful jade who worries about the country and the people.
Even if it is found that Liu Guang is in the same stream as the local military and government, but if he wants to expose the darkness regardless of the lives of his wife, children, and even illegitimate children, then the collusion will be characterized as a burden of forbearance.
After all, who would have thought that a seemingly honest and honest person would lay two blindfolds in a row to confuse the world?
It's a pity that he met Chen Kan.
Chen Kan started from Jinyiwei, and single-handedly founded such an all-pervasive spy organization as the Five Cities Terracotta Division, Liu Guang played a false shot in front of him, which was tantamount to playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
After being silent for a long time, Zhu Zhan Yan suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Liu Guang is also smart but he was mistaken by being smart, if he went to Liu Guan, who was the first to pass by from Tanzhou, to complain, I am afraid that he would have become famous by now." β
Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and said: "There is a way that the sky net is restored and not leaked, such a national thief, if he is really called famous, it is a joke." β
Chen Kan didn't care about Da Zhu Xiaozhu's emotion, and after pondering for a while, he asked, "Liu Guang has been missing for three days, and Chang Kun should have found out something wrong, right?" β
Zhu Zhanyan bowed slightly, and replied: "That's true, when the disciple went to Changkun Mansion yesterday, he found that he was dismissing his subordinates, but the disciple left a lot of people near his mansion, unless he can grow wings and fly into the deep mountains and old forests, he can't escape, in addition, there are also our manpower in the Tanzhou Mansion." β
Chen Kan nodded, and said with some interest: "Since you all have your own arrangements, then leave this matter to you, just remember not to disturb the people." β
Hearing Chen Kan's words, the two brothers of the Zhu family couldn't help but glance at each other.
After a while, Zhu Zhanji spoke: "Teacher, the officials and the imperial grandfather still need you to say hello, and the name of the disciple is only afraid that it is not very easy to use." β
"Yes!"
Chen Kan responded succinctly, and a bloodthirsty light flashed in the eyes of the Zhu family brothers.
"So, the disciple is gone!"
Chen Kan didn't care about it, and the Zhu brothers saluted Chen Kan again, and then exited the room.
Seeing the backs of the two proud protΓ©gΓ©s go away, Chen Kan shook his head helplessly and began to move.
It's not difficult to kill people and take people, and he can rest assured that he will leave it to Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu.
Although Chen Kan did not carefully ask what power they controlled in their hands, he expected that Zhu Di would not joke with the lives of his two grandsons, at least it would not be difficult to solve a Tanzhou officialdom.
What's more, his people are also secretly watching them, and if something goes wrong, his secret hand will eliminate all threats with lightning speed.
The real tricky part of the Tanzhou officialdom is how to deal with the aftermath.
First of all, there is a question of influence, since the beginning of the Yongle Dynasty, Zhu Di has always chosen to tighten the center and loosen the place.
That is, all kinds of struggles should be controlled in the court as much as possible, so as not to let party disputes or court situations affect the development of the locality.
Therefore, although there are many big people who died in Yongle, it is not like the several purges of the grandfather during the Hongwu period, which made the whole country panic.
But once this matter is stabbed in the court, a round of purges will inevitably be set off across the country.
Tanzhou is not big, and the things in Tanzhou are not big from top to bottom, and the root cause of what really makes things bigger is that the military and political circles in Tanzhou colluded together.
Since Zhu Di ascended the throne, he has been committed to separating the military and the government from each other, after all, he is the king of the domain, and he knows too well the harm of military and political integration to the country.
When a person has political power and can control military power, the old thing of the former Tang Dynasty town festival envoy will reappear.
The old affair of the division of feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty was enough to make every dynasty and every emperor in later generations take warning.
The former Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on military force is the best example.
And although the Ming Dynasty did not suppress the generals directly into the dust like the former Song Dynasty, he never let go of his defense against the martial artists.
For this reason, Zhu Di did not hesitate to use the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to cut off the possibility of the martial arts group, and set up a cabinet to specialize in political affairs.
Now seeing that the separation of the military and the government is about to bear fruit, but the matter of Tanzhou suddenly broke out, it is strange that with Zhu Di's temperament, it is not strange that he will not set off a major purge throughout the country.
And the Great Purge meant upheaval.
However, the Ming Dynasty has only just stepped into the road of steady development in China, and the external situation is still unstable.
The war in the East has just begun, and the war in the South Sea has just ended.
Although Arutai and Mahamu in the north contain each other, they cannot pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty for the time being, but they cannot be unguarded.
There is also Liaodong, Wuliang Ha Sanwei has just broken up, and the subsequent development is not something that can be controlled by a little strategy.
With the addition of many external conditions, for Daming, it is best to develop steadily for a period of time is the best choice.
So for a short time, turmoil is never desirable.
Chen Kan has no way to stop this turmoil, but by delaying the arrival of the turmoil, Chen Kan can barely give it a try.
The reason why Zhu Zhanji asked Chen Kan to deal with the officials and his imperial grandfather was also to take into account that the current situation of the Ming Dynasty was not suitable for any turmoil.
But he and Zhu Zhanyan are two juniors after all, and their face is not enough for the time being.
Therefore, this matter can only fall on Chen Kan.
Thinking back to the beginning and end of the matter, Chen Kan began to write letters.
A letter to the Ministry of Officials, a letter to the Ministry of War, and a letter to Zhu Di.
The letter to the Ministry of Officials is naturally because many positions are about to be vacated in the officialdom of Tanzhou, and how to arrange these positions still needs to be decided by the Ministry of Officials.
The one given to the military department is much simpler and rude, that is, to ask Ru Yu how to do it, and he doesn't know that there are so many moths under his hands.
As for Zhu Di, that is to analyze the pros and cons.
The impact of the Tanzhou incident will definitely cause an uproar in the court, but everything has two sides, and this matter can also remind the princes and Zhu Di in the court, and let them know that many things cannot be eliminated by slapping their heads and thinking of a way to come out.
For example, the separation of military and government.
The soldiers and horses of the five cities can indeed divide the power of the military department to a certain extent, and can also avoid the military generals to a certain extent, but at the same time, they also add a lot of unnecessary processes and redundant personnel.
After thanking the three letters, Chen Kan sent a very official letter as a deposed deputy envoy.
After all, he used the name of the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, not the name of the Marquis of Jinghai, of course, he can only use the name of the Qin Mission, once it is used wrongly, it is unwarranted interference in local government affairs, which is a big taboo.
After so many years of ups and downs in officialdom, Chen Kan has long understood what is called the political core.
Sometimes, you do a good thing, but the process is not right, and a good thing becomes a bad thing.
Writing a fold, this is the process that must be followed.
Three letters, one fold, every word needs to be considered, and it takes a lot of effort, so by the time Chen Kan walked out of the room with three letters and one fold, it was already dark.
"Master Hou, His Royal Highness and Second Lady are still waiting for you to eat."
Yun Cheng, who was waiting outside the door, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Kan finally come out of the room.
Chen Kan stretched his waist and asked lightly, "What about Wang Can?" β
Yun Cheng shook his head and said: "Wang Can was taken away by the eldest prince, saying that he was going to catch some mice, and he should not come back today." β
Chen Kan couldn't help laughing and scolded: "Little bastard, one by one, I came to buy the goods." β
Laughing and scolding, Chen Kan shook his head, waved his hand at Yun Cheng and said, "Tell them to eat first, and I'll be back in a while." β
"Yes!"
Yun Cheng bowed down and answered, and didn't ask more.
Chen Kan walked out of the restaurant slowly and methodically, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
He kind of discovered that every time he cultivated a useful human hand, he would eventually run away with others.
Hua Shi'er abducted his Zhang Dong, and Zhu Zhanji abducted his Wang Can.
So much so that now even such a small thing as sending a letter has to be done by him himself.
He felt that he might be the worst Hou Ye in the past.
After standing on the street for a while, Chen Kan thought about it for a while.
A short time later, a carriage stopped in front of him, and the side curtains were lifted to reveal a bright smiling face.
The matchmaker winked at Chen Kan playfully, and asked with a smile: "Master Hou, get in the car, the little woman will take you to do some exciting things." β
Chen Kan rolled his eyes, threw the letter in his hand through the side window, and instructed lightly: "There is a payment on it, arrange for someone to send it back to Jingshi as soon as possible." β
Hearing Chen Kan's indifferent tone, the matchmaker couldn't help glaring at Chen Kan resentfully, and muttered: "I don't understand the amorous feelings!" β
Chen Kan pulled the corners of his mouth, pointed behind the curtain, and said angrily: "If you want to do exciting things with me, at least get the other men in your car out first?" β
Chen Kan's voice fell, and an embarrassed face appeared in the gap behind the curtain.
Wu Di was a little embarrassed and arched his hand to Chen Kan and said: "Master Hou, what, the inner person has been menstrual recently, and her mood is not very stable, don't worry about her." β
"Oh~"
Chen Kan let out a long sigh, and the matchmaker suddenly pulled Wu Di's hair in anger and dragged him back.
"You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
Looking at the two living treasures in front of him, Chen Kan rubbed his eyebrows and scolded: "Hurry up!" β
"Okay!"
The matchmaker answered, and immediately beat the horse away, and then, the man's screams came from the carriage.
Chen Kan rolled his eyes without a trace, shrugged his shoulders, and turned back to the restaurant.
He didn't understand that Wu Di, a king of killers, a self-made figure who could start from scratch at a young age, although he eventually became his defeated subordinate, he was also very awesome compared to his peers.
Why can't you figure out how to fall under the matchmaker's pomegranate skirt and have to marry the matchmaker?
