Valley Emperor

After all, in the past, there were corruption investigations, and even the whole country. The superiors also paid attention to them, but they still did not pay such attention to it. Now, the Son of Heaven is watching him personally. Once caught at this critical moment, Dead in minutes.

The case of Zhou Lide has made the whole officialdom panic, even the high-level people are turbulent because of this. One of the officials who promoted Zhou Lide at the beginning has been investigated for six consecutive years, and even officials who have more contacts with Zhou Lide will inevitably be arrested. In the investigation, how many people will be implicated in the end is a matter of chance. After all, this official, no one's **** is clean. If you have to investigate, you will be able to find out criminal evidence.

In addition to the turmoil, there is more trouble, that is, the successor candidate for the magistrate of Shanghai County!

Violent turmoil in such an important place will naturally attract the attention of the high-level. This high-level is not only talking about Songjiang Prefecture, let alone Jiangnan Road, but Gyeonggi, or more accurately, the duty of the Royal Study Room. Ministers and even the Son of Heaven!

In the face of a place that can contribute 8 million taels of silver tax every year, no one dares to despise it!

Zhou Lide, the former magistrate of Shanghai County, was executed by Ling Chi, and more than half of the other officials of the prefectural government of Shanghai County and even Songjiang Prefecture were arrested, which almost brought the county government of Shanghai County to the brink of collapse. Now it is Jiangnan. Taoists personally took over the daily work of Shanghai County, but this situation could not continue.

Don't care about what happened in the past, but life has to live, Shanghai has to return to normal, otherwise it will affect the economic development of Shanghai County, then it will not only be trouble, but will affect the overall situation of the empire. .

However, the question arises again, who and what kind of person should be appointed as the new magistrate of Shanghai County, and ensure that there will be no problems with the new magistrate!

You know, what was not reported in the Tang Dynasty Newspaper or made public is that, in fact, because of Zhou Lide’s case, the Inspectorate also conducted investigations into the first few magistrates of Shanghai County and the main officials of Songjiang Prefecture. With one exception, the Shanghai magistrates and the prefects of Songjiang Prefecture, Tongzhi and others all had problems. Now these former officials are all staying in prison, and they all end up being executed without exception!

That is to say, after the Datang Empire took over Songjiang Prefecture, and served as prefect of Songjiang Prefecture and magistrate of Shanghai County, none of the corrupt officials were clean.

Nowadays, the officials in the Ministry of Personnel who are responsible for the appointment of middle and low-level officials have no courage to arrange appointments and removals from Songjiang Prefecture. The ghost knows that new officials are sent to Songjiang and Shanghai, and they will not become corrupt officials again in a few months. Ah, at that time, it doesn't matter if the corrupt official is dead, but it will definitely affect the lives of officials in the Ministry of Personnel.

As a result, these officials from the Ministry of Personnel began to report to their superiors, asking their superiors to tell them, who should the newly appointed Shanghai magistrate go?

This report was handed over layer by layer, and even Ma Wei, the Minister of Personnel, didn't have the guts to make a decision on his own, and no one wanted to be implicated in this matter in the future!

So in the end, this report appeared in the imperial study and became the discussion content of the meeting of the ministers on duty in the imperial study.

The meeting of the ministers on duty in the dignified imperial study was only to discuss the candidates for the county magistrate of the sixth grade and one county. It would be absolutely impossible to replace it with something else, but it was possible to replace it with Shanghai after the turmoil.

In the imperial study, the ministers on duty were also very helpless. They looked at the list in their hands, and looked at the hundreds of files piled up in one corner. These files are official resume files, and they were selected and sent by the Ministry of Personnel. In terms of qualifications, it is more suitable to serve as a six-level official of the Shanghai county magistrate.

The officials of the Ministry of Personnel are not stupid. Even if they select and send candidates, they will not only select a few people or a dozen people. In order to avoid implicated themselves in the future, those slickers directly sent a long list of candidates. , the total number of more than 300 people!

When looking at this list and looking at the mountains of candidate files, Liu Bagou almost scolded her mother!

Putting down the list with more than 300 names in his hand, Liu Bagou glanced at Ma Wei, the official of the Ministry of Personnel, and said, "Master Ma, this list is a bit long, can't your Ministry of Personnel compress the list? , choose a few suitable people?"

Liu Bagou has always served concurrently as Minister of Officials, but this year Liu Bagou no longer served as Minister of Officials, but changed to Minister of Agriculture.

The newly appointed Minister of Officials has become Ma Wei!

Ma Wei is also an old official of the empire, an old man in the Huangzhushan era. He has been serving in the center for a long time. When he was in Huangzhushan in his early years, he also served as a minister of the Ministry of War, but his resume in the early years was worthless. After passing the prefect of Liuzhou, the governor of Guangxi, and then transferred to the governor of Jiangxi, but not long after, he returned to the center and served as the 6th military minister.

Later, he was promoted to the Minister of the Sixth Military Department, and also served as the Minister of Rites. This year, he was transferred to the Minister of Personnel. This is how he successfully entered the imperial study and became the minister on duty.

Ma Wei and Liu Bagou are both old acquaintances. Naturally, they know that Liu Bagou's words carry a little bit of complaint. It is nothing more than that, don't push everything to the imperial study, otherwise, why do you want your official department to do it!

In the face of Liu Bagou's complaints, Ma Wei naturally would not, nor would he dare to complain!

Don't think that Liu Bagou was only a Taoist priest in his early years, not even a scholar, but he was an old official of two dynasties, the real hero of the founding of the country, he and Butcher Chen, Bai Yunqi escaped from Lijia Village with the Son of Heaven, and then supported him in the mountains The Son of Heaven ascends the throne and inherits the throne.

Not only is the credit great, but the actual ability of this person is not bad. For so many years, he has been in charge of the cabinet, and there has never been any trouble.

Otherwise, no matter how great his credit is, it is estimated that he will be a senior citizen, or he has no title but is not in charge of practical affairs. Just like Wang Wenhua, Qian Mengjiu and others before, their credit is also great, but Now, Wang Wenhua has no other actual official positions except for the title of a minister of the imperial study, and Qian Mengjiu simply went to the Datang Western Company.

Although Ma Wei was also an old man in the Huangzhushan era, he was still a latecomer when facing Liu Bagou, so he could only show an embarrassed smile in the face of Liu Bagou's complaints, and then said, "The candidate for the sixth-grade official is really good. It's a bit too much, just these three hundred people, or the result has been compressed and compressed, otherwise, those people below can come up with two or three thousand candidates!"

Ma Wei's embarrassing smile actually revealed a meaning. This is a troublesome thing, and the people below have no courage to touch it. Although Ma Wei is the official minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the minister on duty in the imperial study, there is no need to ask for trouble. what!

At this time, he has always been indifferent to the affairs of the cabinet, just because of his status as the minister on duty in the imperial study, it was General Lei Wan who appeared in today's meeting and said: "I said, there are so many files, you can't read them all, and then Choose slowly, I still have a lot of things in the Privy Council, but I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here!"

The naval representative on the side, Admiral Bao Yifen also said: "That's right, your cabinet can handle these broken things yourself. I have to report to the Holy Spirit in the afternoon!"

Lei Wan and Bao Yifen, who represent the 6th Army and the Navy respectively, have never been in charge of cabinet affairs. When they don't want to, they can't actually manage them. The conflict between the military and the cabinet has always been very serious. Great, they said it, but Liu Bagou and the others didn't listen.

This relationship is not harmonious, even at the meeting of the ministers on duty in the imperial study, the two of them and Liu Bagou and the others were not very polite!

Liu Bagou has long been accustomed to the attitudes of these two people. He has always come here for so many years. He immediately waved his hand: "Since the two are busy with military affairs, then go back first!"

Immediately, Lei Wan and Bao Yifen were not polite, and just got up and went out. After going out, Lei Wan walked and said to Bao Yifen, "This time they made a lot of trouble, I guess. Ah, it is estimated that it will not take a few months, and I am afraid there will be another change in this imperial study!"

Bao Yifen said: "You don't care what they do, a bunch of second-hand, short-sighted, staring at the trivial things every day, but the real military affairs don't care at all!"

Lei Wan said: "Okay, let them toss it out on their own, it's already noon, how about it, do you want to eat together? By the way, let's talk about the issue of heavy artillery. I heard that the 32-jin heavy artillery at the Shanghai Artillery Factory is starting to work. Mass production?"

"Yeah." After hearing this, Bao Yifen replied habitually, but he quickly responded: "Could it be that you want these 32-pound naval guns? Let me tell you, your 6th Army Don't even think about it.

That is the main gun that our navy has prepared for battleships. For this reason, our navy has spent countless research funds. This is finally mass-produced. Your 6th Army wants to pick peaches, which is impossible.

We have signed a research contract and a priority procurement contract with the Shanghai Arsenal. Your 6th Army wants to equip this artillery. Wait, maybe our priority contract will be completed in three or five years. !

And what do you want these heavy guns to do? These are all long barreled cannons, and they weigh several tons. If they are moved to the 6th place, plus the gun mounts, it will be even heavier. Just the bad horses of your 6th Army, pull You have to move! ! "

But Lei Wan laughed and said, "We haven't talked about it yet, so why is it impossible? Besides, isn't our 6th Army just trying to lighten the burden on your navy, your military spending is not much, and you spend on heavy artillery? With so much military spending~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I must be feeling overwhelmed, it just so happens that our 6th Army is preparing to strengthen the construction of heavy artillery, just to help you bear part of the military expenses!"

Bao Yifen snorted coldly, not too lazy to answer!

When Lei Wan saw Bao Yifen's expression, he had fought so many times with each other, and he didn't know what this expression meant, so he immediately said, "We don't want too much, we just want to equip a dozen doors to decorate it. The facade, just move to the north to scare the Tatars, of course, our 6th Army will not let your navy suffer, it's a big deal that our 6th Army will give your navy some compensation!"

"Compensation?" After listening to Bao Yifen, he became a little interested: "What compensation?"

Just as Lei Wan and Bao Yifen were walking and bargaining over the heavy artillery, the civil servants in the imperial study continued to worry about the list of more than 300 people!
