"Guan family, Duke Yang and Lu have arrived and are waiting for the order in the corridor!"
"Xuan!"
Yang Ye and Lu Duan entered the palace hand in hand. Under the guidance of the chamberlain, they did not see Emperor Liu until they reached the east veranda of the palace. Emperor Liu was lying on his side on a soft couch, holding a memorial in his hand and flipping through the pages. His attention was obviously not on it and he was not in a good mood.
The two looked at each other and saluted together.
"No need!" Emperor Liu's voice was very calm, but it felt abrupt, interrupting their movements, and stretched his hand to the side: "Sit!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two sat down, and Emperor Liu didn't speak for a while. After waiting for a while, Yang Ye stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what your Majesty's instructions are for summoning the ministers and others?"
Finally raising his head, Emperor Liu looked at Yang Lu. He couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and blurted out: "Looking at the current dynasty, you two ministers are the ministers I trust and rely on the most!"
Hearing this, both Yang and Lu couldn't help but be shocked. It's not like Emperor Liu had never said this before, but it felt most sincere today.
Lu Duan still had the same respectful look. He bowed and said calmly: "It is a great honor for me to have your Majesty's trust!"
[In view of the general environment,
Yang Ye's reaction seemed to be a little slow, but after thinking for a moment, he clasped his fists hard and said solemnly: "If your Majesty has any orders, please issue an edict!"
Hearing this, Emperor Liu tapped the corner of his mouth, which was a gratifying reaction, but he ignored Yang Ye. Instead, he looked at Lu Duan, handed the memorial in his hand to Yan Tuo, and asked him to pass it on: "Take a look!"
After receiving the memorial, Lu Duan flipped through it quickly, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, not in embarrassment, but in confusion. This is a resume, Gaomi County Magistrate, Kang Baozhen.
There were tens of thousands of officials in the Han Dynasty, and the magistrates and magistrates were all Bailihou, which was also the cornerstone position in the Han bureaucracy system. As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Lu Duan's personal ability and professional quality in official administration are excellent, but it is not realistic for him to remember the resume of every official, not to mention that Gaomi is only a small county in Henan.
However, for Emperor Liu to personally intervene and have such an unusual attitude, there must be some unknown connection. Could there be something wrong again? During the reading room, this thought flashed through Lu Duan's mind, and he became more careful.
Browsing through it again, Lu Duan still found nothing unusual. From a resume perspective, Kang Baozhen was just an "ordinary" official-turned-bureaucrat. His political achievements were not outstanding, but he had rich experience and was old enough, at least from Lu Duan's perspective. , if this file record is true, then there is no big problem.
However, if there were no problems, Emperor Liu would not be so serious about it. While thinking, Lu Duan suddenly realized something...
Yesterday, the news about Kang Ning being first sent to prison and then transferred to Dali Temple has gradually spread, and various legend versions have been derived. It is impossible for Lu Duan not to have heard about it.
If these two things are connected together, then there is a lot worth talking about. If there is any unusual relationship between the two Kangs... Thinking of this, the look of concentration between Lu Duan's brows could not help but become a little more intense.
Although Lu Duan and Kang Ning have nothing to do with each other, but they have no social contacts, it does not mean that they have no understanding. At least Kang Ning and the complex chain of interests behind him are aware of it. Kang Ning is involved in many things.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about Prince Yansheng of Pingliang. The news that he took people to Kang's house to pay off his debts before his death has spread. A glimpse of one spot reveals the whole story. The water in Kangning is muddy.
In addition to representing wealth, Kang's flag also heralds trouble and trouble, at least in Lu Duan's view, this is the case. Thinking of Kang Ning, who was arrested by imperial edict and is still in prison in Dali Temple, Lu Duan seemed to see another wave of political waves attacking the Han court. To say that Kang Ning can influence changes in the situation of the Han Dynasty is to look down upon him, but at a certain point in time, it is still no problem to use it as an introduction to the situation, and Emperor Liu's sudden attack is obviously a point.
While Lu Duan frowned and thought, Emperor Liu had already asked: "What do you think of this resume file?"
After hearing the question, Lu Duan glanced at Emperor Liu meaningfully. Although the old emperor looked very
He was indifferent, but in Lu Duan's eyes, it was like a sword that was about to move, without a scabbard, it was so sharp that it was eager to drink blood...
According to his own thinking, Lu Duan said conservatively: "As recorded in this chapter, Kang Baozhen is indeed outstanding. He has a solid resume, rich ministry experience, and sufficient basis for promotion. It is enough for him to be the order of a county."
"Do you think so?" After hearing what he said, Emperor Liu followed up and asked.
Emperor Liu's tone and eyes revealed a lot of information. Lu Duan also felt it keenly. He calmly bowed and said, "Is there some hidden secret that has not been recorded in this chapter?"
After hearing his answer, Emperor Liu looked at Lu Duan playfully. Apparently, the emperor had already noticed.
There was no pretense, Emperor Liu gave instructions directly with a calm face: "The resume indicates that Kang Baozhen was thirty-two years old at the time and had ten years of experience as an official. Every time he was evaluated in Daozhou, the results were excellent, and he was promoted in awards. This is nothing to be alarmed about. However, I learned another statement from other channels that Yan Kang Baozhen's actual age is only twenty-two.
If so, then it would be interesting. How can a twenty-two-year-old young man have ten years of official experience? Could it be that he has been working in the county government since he was twelve years old? I have another Gan Luo. ? "
Emperor Liu's last words were full of irony, and Lu Duan was really frightened. In just a few words, a big story about forging resumes, deceiving the court, and defrauding official positions was already revealed.
Looking at Emperor Liu's calm and intimidating face, Lu Duan quickly lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "If this matter is true, there must be serious flaws in it. This is the dereliction of duty on the part of the officials. I have the trust of Your Majesty and entrusted me with this task." The official sent by Heaven failed to discern clearly, and he is the first to bear the responsibility..."
A series of words made Emperor Liu a little impatient. He waved his hand and said calmly: "You don't have to rush to admit your fault. I didn't come to you to listen to this!"
After hearing what Emperor Liu said, Lu Duan hit the snake with a stick and immediately asked, "Your Majesty, please show me!"
"Hearsay is not trustworthy! Regarding this matter, go and find out for me what is going on!" Emperor Liu said.
In response to this, Lu Duan's heavy heart was slightly relieved. He understood that Emperor Liu gave the officials a chance to self-examine, and it also meant that he could avoid this crisis from affecting him as much as possible. This was also regarded as Emperor Liu's trust. and care.
"Yes!" Lu Duan bowed solemnly while thinking.
"Stay back!" After the explanation, Emperor Liu immediately drove them away.
After Lu Duan left, Emperor Liu looked at Yang Ye, who had a dull expression and seemed a little uncomfortable: "I'm going to change your job for you. Ignore the Ministry of War and go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to serve as the censor of Zuodu!"
