After the truth came out, the three masters and disciples fell into silence.
They have to admit that this Liu Guang is indeed a talent, and he has mastered the tricks of a cunning rabbit with three holes.
It's no wonder that he came to Chen Kan to complain when he had the opportunity. It is probably that Chang Kun and Tanzhou officials did not expect that Liu Guang would stab them in the back, so they relaxed their vigilance.
If the imperial envoy who came today was not Chen Kan, but someone else, I'm afraid he would really think that Liu Guang was a good man who cared about the country and the people.
Even if Liu Guang is found to be complicit in the local military and political affairs, if he exposes the dark matter regardless of the lives of his wife, children, children, and even his illegitimate son, then complicity will be characterized as bearing the burden of humiliation.
After all, who would have thought that a seemingly honest and honest man would actually set up two consecutive deceptions to confuse the world?
It's a pity that he met Chen Kan.
Chen Kan started his career as a member of the Jinyi Guards, and single-handedly founded a pervasive spy organization like the Wucheng Military and Horse Division. Liu Guang's trick of using a fake gun in front of him was tantamount to using a machete in front of Guan Gong.
After being silent for a while, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Liu Guang was smart but was mistaken. If he had gone to complain to Liu Guan who passed by Tanzhou first, I'm afraid he would have become famous by now."
Zhu Zhanji gritted his teeth and said, "There is a truth to it that the sky net is sparse and not leaking out. For such a national thief, it would be a joke if we really expected him to become famous."
Chen Kan ignored Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu's emotions. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Liu Guang has been missing for three days. Chang Kun must have discovered something is wrong, right?"
Zhu Zhanhe nodded slightly and replied: "That's true. When the disciple went to Chang Kun's mansion yesterday, he found that he was sending away his servants. However, the disciple left a lot of people near his mansion. Unless he can grow wings. Fly into the deep mountains and old forests, otherwise he will not be able to escape. In addition, we also have our manpower in the Tanzhou government office."
Chen Kan nodded and said with some waning interest: "Since you all have your own arrangements, let me leave this matter to you. Just remember not to disturb the people."
Hearing Chen Kan's words, the two Zhu brothers couldn't help but look at each other.
After a while, Zhu Zhanji said: "Teacher, the officials and Grandpa Huang still need you to say hello. I'm afraid the name of the disciple is not very useful."
"Can!"
Chen Kanyan responded concisely and concisely, and a bloodthirsty light flashed in the eyes of the Zhu brothers.
"That's it, disciple, let's go now!"
Chen Kan gave up indifferently, and the Zhu brothers once again cupped their fists and saluted Chen Kan, and then left the room.
Watching the two proud disciples go away, Chen Kan helplessly shook his head and began to move.
It is not difficult to kill and take people. Leave it to Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu. He can rest assured.
Although Chen Kan did not ask them carefully what power they controlled, he expected that Zhu Di would not joke with the lives of his two grandsons. At least it would not be difficult to deal with a Tanzhou officialdom.
What's more, his people are also watching them secretly. If anything goes wrong, his secret hand will eliminate all threats with lightning speed.
The really tricky part about the Tanzhou officialdom issue is how to deal with the aftermath.
The first is a question of influence. Since the beginning of the Yongle Dynasty, Zhu Di has always chosen to tighten the center and loosen the local areas.
That is to say, all kinds of battles should be kept within the court as much as possible, and party strife or court affairs should not be allowed to affect local development.
Therefore, although many important figures died in the Yongle period, it was not like the great purges carried out by Taizu during the Hongwu period, which caused panic throughout the country.
But once this matter is brought to the court, a round of purges will inevitably take place across the country.
Tanzhou is not big, and the things in Tanzhou that are rotten from top to bottom are not big either. What really makes things big is the collusion between the military and the political circles in Tanzhou.
Since Zhu Di ascended the throne, he has been committed to separating the military and political affairs and settling each in his own place. After all, he started as a vassal king, and he is very aware of the harm to the country from the integration of military and political affairs.
When a person has political power and can also control the military power, the old story of the former Tang vassal town's Jiedu envoy becoming powerful will happen again.
The past events of the separatist vassal towns in the late Tang Dynasty were enough to serve as a warning to every dynasty and every emperor in later generations.
The former Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature over military affairs is the best example.
Although the Ming Dynasty did not directly suppress military generals into dust like the former Song Dynasty, it never let down its guard against military personnel.
For this reason, Zhu Di did not hesitate to use the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to break up the military alliance and established a cabinet to handle political affairs.
Now that the separation of military and political affairs is about to come to fruition, the Tanzhou incident suddenly breaks out. With Zhu Di's temperament, it would be strange not to start a general purge across the country.
And the Great Purge means turmoil.
However, Ming Dynasty has just embarked on the path of steady development domestically, and its external environment is still unstable.
The war in the East has just begun, and the war in the South has just ended.
Although Arutai and Mahamu in the north are restrained by each other and cannot pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty for the time being, they must be on guard.
And in Liaodong, the three Uuliangha guards have just broken up, and the subsequent development cannot be controlled by a little strategy.
The combination of many external conditions means that for Ming Dynasty, it is best to develop steadily for a period of time.
Therefore, in the short term, turmoil is absolutely undesirable.
Chen Kan had no idea how to stop this turmoil, but by delaying the arrival of the turmoil, Chen Kan could barely give it a try.
The reason why Zhu Zhanji asked Chen Kan to deal with the officials and his grandfather just now was because the current situation in the Ming Dynasty was not suitable for any turmoil.
But he and Zhu Zhanhe are two juniors after all, and their face is not enough for the time being.
Therefore, this matter can only fall on Chen Kan.
After thinking about the whole thing, Chen Kan started to write a letter.
A letter to the Ministry of Personnel, a letter to the Ministry of War, and a letter to Zhu Di.
The letter to the Ministry of Personnel was naturally because many positions in Tanzhou's officialdom were about to be vacated. It was up to the Ministry of Personnel to decide how to arrange these positions.
The one given to the Ministry of War was much simpler and more crude. Even if he asked Ru Yu what he did, he didn't even know that there was such a big moth under his hands.
As for Zhu Di, it is about analyzing the pros and cons.
The impact of the Tanzhou incident will definitely cause an uproar in the court, but everything has two sides. This incident can also remind Duke Gonggun and Zhu Di in the court that many things are not just slapped on the forehead. It can be stopped if you think of a way.
For example, the separation of military and political affairs.
The five-city army can indeed decentralize the power of the Ministry of War to a certain extent, and can also prevent generals from clumping together to a certain extent, but at the same time, it also adds a lot of unnecessary processes and redundant personnel.
After finishing the three letters of thanks, Chen Kan sent a very official memorial as the deposed deputy envoy.
After all, he used the title of deputy imperial envoy to handle this matter, not the title of Marquis Jinghai. Of course, he could only use the title of imperial envoy. If he used it wrongly, it would be an unwarranted interference in local government affairs. This is a big mistake. avoid.
After so many years of ups and downs in officialdom, Chen Kan has long understood what political core is.
Sometimes, you do a good thing, but the process is wrong and the good thing turns into a bad thing.
Writing a memorial is the necessary process.
Three letters and one memorial required careful consideration of every word, so when Chen Kan walked out of the room with three letters and one memorial, it was already dark.
"Master Marquis, His Highness and the Second Madam are still waiting for you to have dinner."
Yuncheng, who was waiting outside the door, couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen Kan finally coming out of the room.
Chen Kan stretched and asked calmly: "Where is Wang Can?"
Yun Cheng shook his head and said: "Wang Can was taken away by the eldest son. He said he was going to catch some mice. He probably won't be back today."
Chen Kan couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You little bastards, they come to my place one by one to buy goods."
After laughing and scolding, Chen Kan shook his head, waved his hand towards Yuncheng and said, "Tell them to eat first, and I'll be back soon."
"yes!"
Yuncheng bowed and responded without asking any more questions.
Chen Kan walked out of the restaurant slowly and couldn't help but laugh.
He finally discovered that every time he trained a useful person, he would eventually run away with someone else.
Hua Shier abducted his Zhang Dong, and Zhu Zhanji abducted his Wang Can.
So much so that now he has to do even small things like delivering letters himself.
He felt that he might be the worst marquis in history.
After standing on the street for a while, Chen Kan thought wildly for a while.
Not long after, a carriage stopped in front of him, and the side curtains opened, revealing a bright smiling face.
The matchmaker winked at Chen Kan playfully, and asked with a smile: "Master Marquis, get in the car, my little lady will take you to do some exciting things."
Chen Kan rolled his eyes, threw the letter in his hand through the side window, and said calmly: "It is signed, please arrange for someone to send it back to the capital as soon as possible."
Hearing Chen Kan's indifferent tone, the matchmaker couldn't help but glared at Chen Kan resentfully and muttered: "I don't understand the style!"
Chen Kan twitched his lips, pointed behind the curtain, and said angrily: "If you want to do something exciting with me, can you at least get the other men in your car out first?"
After Chen Kan finished speaking, an embarrassed face appeared from the gap behind the curtain.
Wu Di raised his hands to Chen Kan in embarrassment and said, "Master Hou, what's that? My wife has had her period recently and her mood is not stable. Don't argue with her."
"Oh~"
Chen Kan let out a long oh, and the matchmaker immediately became angry and grabbed Wu Di's hair and pulled 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: "Get out of here!"
"okay!"
The matchmaker responded and immediately rode away. Then, a man's scream came from the carriage.
Chen Kan rolled his eyes without a trace, shrugged, and turned back to the restaurant.
He didn't understand that a king of killers like Wu Di, a man who could start from scratch at a young age, although he ended up being defeated by his subordinates, he was still very impressive compared to his peers.
Why can't you figure out how to fall under the matchmaker's pomegranate skirt and still insist on marrying the matchmaker?
