A few days later, Li Minggui was secretly arrested.
This matter is not very involved. To put it bluntly, what Xiao Yuan wants to deal with is actually Li Minggui, because the latter committed a big taboo. During the war, he knew that there was an enemy spy in Yongan, but he did not report the knowledge. Instead, he contacted the spy and acted smart. , waiting for the opportunity.
This is equivalent to Li Minggui treating himself as a force, which is something a king cannot tolerate.
In the court meeting hall, the ministers were whispering to each other and discussing.
Xiao Yuan didn't stop drinking. After the scene became quiet, he said: "Yong'an, where the salt well is located, Mr. Jiang has verified that Li Minggui stole the official salt as a custodian, colluded with businessmen, and made personal gains many times. The evidence is conclusive. He has been temporarily detained by the military department and will be kept at the Yushi Mansion for further investigation."
The chief official of the Yushi Mansion is Shangguan Wenruo, and the Yushi doctor has the power to inspect hundreds of officials. The latter immediately said: "Wei ministers take orders."
Now that the case has been basically finalized, this post-investigation, to put it simply, depends on the identity of County Sheriff Li Minggui and needs to go through a procedure.
Immediately afterwards, another minister stood up, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in view of the importance of Yong'an, this place cannot be without a governor for a day, otherwise, there may be another setback in the salt well."
"I second the proposal." Another minister said: "As for the new governor of Yong'an, I believe that an upright and honest official should be appointed, for example, the Lord of Yizhou, King Bo, King Ji."
Zhubo is an assistant under the chief officials at all levels. They often participate in secrets and take charge of many government affairs. If they are county-level Zhubo, they are only of fifth rank and should not be directly promoted to local county governors. However, this is Yizhou. Mainly, that is very different, because Yizhou is the capital of Sichuan and Shu.
Xiao Yuan knew Wang Ji to some extent. He was also a talented man from Shu, with outstanding talents. He also had another advantage: good calligraphy.
In the past, Xiao Yuan criticized his memorials and even praised his writing.
Xiao Yuan actually considered transferring him to Yong'an, but he did not make a decision directly. Instead, he asked: "What are the opinions of the officials?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel quickly stood up and said: "Back to your Majesty, whether it is qualifications or political performance, comprehensive consideration, Your Majesty Wang is the best candidate."
Now in the court, those who stand up to support Wang Ji are clearly from the Shu clan.
At this time, the Qinzhou department could not sit still, Jiang Yi immediately came out and said: "I think that the Lord of Yizhou, King Bo, King Ji, has mostly been an assistant since he became an official, and has no experience in local governance. Let's talk about incorruptibility. , among our Qin officials, except for a few corrupt people who have already rectified the law, the rest are all honest."
"That's right." Another person said: "I think it is more appropriate to transfer the county governor to the county magistrate. It is very suitable for you to be the county magistrate of Yueyang County."
These two people were both elders of Qinzhou. Seeing this, Yan Ming, the Minister of Rites, stood up quickly and said, "This is wrong. As Mr. Jiang said, it is precisely because Wang Ji has been in charge of local government affairs for many years that he has no control over local governance." Knowing everything, I think, as the king said, the most important thing is for an official to care about the country and the people, and Mr. Wang Ji, both in terms of talent and official etiquette, are obvious to all."
After he finished speaking, Jia You, who had not expressed his opinion until now, stood up and said, "Wei Chen believes that after this incident, Yong'an needs certain reforms. It is better to use Song Lian than to appoint old officials."
Song Lian, who was ranked first in the examination, can be said to be the most talented person in the north.
As a result, as soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately opposed by many ministers.
"It's simply ridiculous! Although Song Lian is extremely talented, he is just a poem and an article. How can he talk about the local governor..."
"Okay." Xiao Yuan interrupted everyone's argument and said directly: "Let's end today's meeting and withdraw from the court."
At this, all the ministers looked at each other, and then saluted in unison, because everyone understood that the king needed to consider among these people.
After the court, as usual, people walked together in twos and threes with people they had good relationships with, so there was naturally some discussion among them.
Yan Ming was walking with several officials, and someone whispered: "With Li Minggui's behavior of deceiving his superiors and hiding his subordinates, it will be a matter of time before he is dismissed. This Yong'an County guard is empty. Today's court can be seen that he is pursuing profit."
"It's just that people didn't expect that Jiang Yi actually stood up and strongly opposed the transfer of Lord Wang Ji. His words still have some weight in front of the king..."
"It doesn't matter. There is no one more suitable than Wang Ji to serve as Yong'an County Governor. The king is a wise king and has his own decisions." Yan Ming said.
Jiang Yi was also quietly discussing this matter with other officials.
"Both the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs are officials from Shuzhong, and there are many county guards. If this continues, we will definitely be squeezed out..."
Just as they were talking, Liu Changqing happened to pass by them.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but sneered: "Huh, some people have forgotten that they are the elders of Qinzhou, and they don't say a word in the court."
Hearing this, Liu Changqing paused slightly and glanced at Jiang Yi: "I only know that I am Qin Chen."
As they spoke, they all mocked: "Master Jiang is very clever. He was able to determine Li Minggui's case in Qinzhou. It's really amazing."
Hearing him talk about this, Jiang Yi suddenly felt elated, "That's not like some people, who can turn everything upside down after investigating a small case, and in the end, they can't get over it."
"Haha." Liu Changqing smiled and said pointedly: "In Master Jiang's opinion, the Zhao family really has nothing to do with it? No profit from it?"
"Of course!" Jiang Yi did not hesitate.
"Hmph!" Liu Changqing sneered and said unceremoniously: "Flattery!"
"You!" When the latter heard this, his nose almost became angry, but at this moment, Xu Hu walked over quickly.
Seeing him, the two of them stopped talking in unison.
Xu Hu said concisely and concisely: "Master Liu, the king has invited you."
Liu Changqing was stunned for a moment, then saluted and said, "Thank you, General."
After he left, Jiang Yi felt confused, and then said angrily: "This Liu Changqing only dares to be so arrogant because of the trust of the king!"
"Oh Lord Jiang, why are you paying attention to him? He has never offended any of the ministers in the court. Sooner or later, it will be easier to live with him..." the official next to him advised.
After Xiao Yuan went to court, he summoned not only Liu Changqing, but also Ding Rong.
Inviting the two of them over is also related to the new county magistrate of Yong'an.
When ministers recommend officials, they will have some selfish motives, but Liu Changqing does not. With his character, he will only say what he thinks. On the mobile phone, remember "→m.\B\iq\u\g\\o\m" in one second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.
As for Ding Rong, he was a former imperial minister who had been an official for many years. He was tactful and sophisticated. He did not make any remarks in court, obviously because he did not want to offend anyone. Naturally, his private inquiry with Xiao Yuan was different.
As for these two people, one is straight and the other is round, and everyone dislikes the other.
