It doesn't matter whether Song Zhizhang believes it or not. Anyway, he has no choice at the moment.
He must accept the commission.
Song Zhizhang took the letter of appointment, bowed his hands, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice: "I will definitely live up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's love!"
"Well, I believe Song Fu Ling will not let down the people. You must take good care of yourself after this."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
The way Song Zhizhang and others dealt with it was the result of discussions between Chen Ze, Lu Qingyun and others.
Chen Zegang thought simply at first.
Just raise troops to investigate and then confiscate the property, and that's it.
Chen Ze didn't need any evidence. He could be directly convicted of the following crimes, but... Lu Qingyun and Lin Yuanchao didn't agree from the beginning.
Of course, Lu Qingyun, Lin Yuanchao and others are not defenders of the law. They consider Chen Ze to set an example, but they consider Chen Ze's situation.
Now that the imperial court wants to take over the power of the palace, it must be justified.
There is no movement in the court now, mainly because they can't find a suitable opportunity.
If the name is not justified, then the palace will have an excuse to send troops. Even at this juncture, Duke Dingguo and Duke Protector may follow suit and raise troops.
On the other hand, if the name of the palace is not justified, it is a rebellion.
Now is an extremely delicate time.
As for Song Zhizhang and a group of Qingzhou bureaucrats, no matter how bad they are, they are serious court officials. Even the King of Zhennan cannot kill them casually.
It is not very convincing to commit such a crime. If you really want to convict, you must produce ironclad evidence.
And after investigating the evidence! ?
Whether it is better to kill Song Zhizhang or send him to Beizhou, the imperial court will naturally appoint a new Qingzhou governor.
Song Zhizhang is relatively easy to figure out, after all, he is an incompetent person, but the new Qingzhou Prefecture Order cannot be sure.
Therefore, Lu Qingyun and others felt that it was better not to kill an incompetent person like Song Zhizhang than to kill him. Since he would not cause much trouble anyway, they could just find a high-sounding reason to devolve him and take away his power.
The official position can be retained, but it is useless to Chen Ze anyway, and it is meaningless to Lu Qingyun and others.
Furthermore, Chen Ze is now exercising the power of the palace and does not have the power to appoint or remove officials.
What's more, Lu Qingyun and others are not seeking fame and fortune, and they don't need any official positions. Even if they are just as aides, they are willing to make suggestions for Chen Ze.
All these arrangements are based on Dachu law, and the longest decentralization period is five years.
As for what will happen in five years, no one knows now, and there is no need to think about it at all.
This is the advantage of having a think tank. All the issues that can be considered have been considered for you, so Chen Ze doesn't need to worry too much when doing things.
At present, one appointment letter after another is in the hands of Qingzhou bureaucrats.
Zhou Dafa also received the letter of appointment. When he opened it, he found that it was blank and he was stunned for a moment.
I subconsciously looked at the appointment letter of the person next to me. It was densely written on it, and it seemed that only he had received special treatment.
In fact, it is indeed special treatment.
Because Zhou Dafa's name was clearly on the roster handed over by Sun Fugui.
Although he often exploited prisoners, this guy was still quite humane.
He knew which ones were wrongly accused and which ones were not.
And for those who have been wronged, when Zhou Dafa squeezes money... he can even negotiate the price.
Give it a little bit, and then release it when it's almost closed.
And since he learned Chen Ze's identity, Zhou Dafa actually started to sell his belongings... and then used his memory to find someone. After finding the person, he paid back the money he had extorted.
Although it was an afterthought, it proved that this guy was indeed a man of action, and he was very adaptable and knew how to protect himself.
Chen Ze needs this kind of person very much, so he naturally has to stay in Qingzhou.
"Okay, everyone, the meal is ready! After eating, let's go to our respective assigned stations!" Chen Ze said: "I have asked Bai Hupao to help you move, and your family members have also We will go together with you, and remember to report that you are safe when we settle down at our respective stations."
"Don't worry me."
"White Tiger Robe moving, moving!?"
"Of course we have moved, otherwise we can still confiscate the house?"
Chen Ze laughed and left without explaining too much, hands behind his back.
A group of people held letters of appointment, their expressions were indescribably complicated, and they all looked at Song Zhizhang in unison.
"My house, this..."
"Isn't it too much to bully others?"
"Isn't this the same as distributing us?"
"My lord, you have to make the decision for us!"
After all, Song Zhizhang had Li Fu, the Minister of Civil Service, as his backer.
But at this moment, Song Zhizhang's face was obviously not looking good: "Follow the instructions first, and I will write a letter later to inform my mentor about the matter, and let my mentor make the decision for me."
Counselor Wu on the side felt a thump in his heart and said hurriedly: "My lord, no, absolutely no!"
"Why not?"
Counselor Wu was really speechless.
Li Fu arranged for you to serve as the governor of Qingzhou in the eight southern states. How could he not know that these eight southern states are the territory of the Zhennan King?
It's because you, a student who is unsatisfactory and incompetent, Li Fu sent you here out of favour.
It's an act of kindness and righteousness for you to do this Qingzhou Prefecture Order.
You asked him to help you make the decision! ?
Originally, you were sent down because you offended the Crown Prince. If it weren't for the fact that you were an official of the imperial court and he was reluctant to kill you, your head would be moved now!
You fucking think you can't die fast enough, right?
The situation is so delicate right now. You might as well start a fight one day. If you stay in that remote place, if things go wrong, they may not be able to take care of you. You might be able to escape disaster. Otherwise, you might be able to escape. If you are forced to rebel at any time, no matter whether you win or lose, there will be no good consequences.
However, Counselor Wu would not tell everyone what was on his mind, he would just explain the stakes to everyone present.
Forbearance a moment, calm, take a step back, a brighter future.
At least for now, the eight southern states are still the territory of his Zhennan King. A little impatience will ruin the big plan!
Zhou Dafa heard what he said very seriously, and he kept nodding his head and echoed that what the counselor said made sense.
When Song Zhizhang heard this, he finally gave up.
He had no choice but to follow Chen Ze and go over to eat the so-called farewell meal, but he was unhappy inside and had to force himself to look happy.
After eating, Chen Ze greeted the white tiger robes and sent them to the door.
Everyone came out to take a look and found a neat row of carriages at the entrance of the hotel.
"You don't need to go back. During the meal, the house has been packed for you. Just set off!"
"His Royal Highness...you are so considerate! The carriage has been prepared for me."
"Hahaha, is this palace's love for talents so obvious?"
"Everyone, please take care along the way!"
