Chapter 410: The Year of Standing
(Thank you for your reward in order to protect who book friend)
Li Yuan was very good at inducing. In terms of vision and knowledge, he was like a brother, teaching Li Zheng the experience of ups and downs of life.
With the current power of the Li family, it is actually not important whether Li Zheng is the prime minister. The most important thing is that as long as Li Yuan is King Wu of Qin, the glory of the Li family will not decline. On the contrary, if Li Yuan falls one day, even if Li Zheng becomes the prime minister of Qin, it will be a castle in the air and cannot withstand a slight storm.
Li Zheng did not understand these principles of prosperity and loss. He was just confused by the position of the prime minister. If he really looked at it carefully, was he really incompatible with Chen Ping, and he had to fight to the death, and it was not the case. In terms of heart, Li Zheng did not have many of Chen Ping's ability to deal with things.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Zheng couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
He was once confused by beauty and power, and he was talking and regretful. From this point of view, Li Zheng not only looked like a person, but his knowledge was the same as Li Si, but also had similarities with Li Si in terms of temperament.
"The important ministers of a country do not depend on their form, but on their heart. That is, taking the interests of the country as the foundation and doing things with their original hearts, the second brother must record this. Otherwise, the position of prime minister will never have any connection with you." Li Yuan said lightly.
Putting aside personal integrity, Li Zheng's ability in doing things has been trained enough to be competent for important positions such as Qin State Censor, County Magistrate, and Doctor. Now, what he needs is to deposit.
Only by knowing oneself and one’s enemy can one be defeated in a hundred battles.
Li Zheng's confession allowed Li Yuan to quickly grasp the details of Chen Di and others' plans, and the role played by everyone involved in this incident gradually became clear.
Ji An, the initiator of the impeachment of greed and ink, is actually just a small character to be exploited. Ji An himself is straightforward and cannot tolerate any trace of sand in his eyes. He has a very bad relationship with Chen Yuan. His character fell into the eyes of those who are interested and became the pioneer in attacking Chen Ping.
Guan Yue, the person in charge of Du Agricultural Supervision.
He was also an old acquaintance of Li Yuan when he was in Xingyang, but this time, the role he played was not glorious, because his identity was no longer as simple as assisting Li Zheng. Behind a series of clan forces planning, Guan Yue gradually became a new think tank for clan forces.
Guan Yue's family.
It was originally a small family in Guanzhong. It had no foundation. Logically speaking, he had no intersection with the clan, but things were often so incredible. While Guan Yue followed Li Yuan's progress, his family's ambitions began to appear. From small to large, from shallow to deep, those clans that had long influence were also accumulated step by step at the beginning. The Guan family and the declining Chen family reached a tacit understanding. Both sides decided to support each other in multiple aspects to shorten the time for each other's rise.
This mutually utilizing alliance is the eternal theme of the annexation and melting of various forces in Guanzhong. From ancient pre-Qin to Tang and Song dynasties, it has been a long time since the seven surnames of Guanzhong, the Zhong and Yang clans of the Tang Dynasty, and the Yang clans of the Song Dynasty, and now, Guan Yue takes such a risky approach to contribute to the growth of the family.
At the same time, Guan Yue's mentality changes are due to another reason, that is, Zhao Ben's death.
In Xingyang City, Zhao Ben, Guan Yue and Chen Di, there was a thrilling past. At that time, Li Yuan was just a small army marquis who broke out from Daliang. Guan Yue was already a Gongcao in Xingyang, an important town in Sanchuan County. Zhao Ben was even more a county magistrate. As for Chen Di, he was a senior official sent by the court to inspect.
Guan Yue is very lucky, and he seems to have always chosen the direction he has been good.
Li Yuanchu started to rise, but then, under the persuasion of Ying Yushu, Gongsun Ying and others, he chose to continue to follow Li Yuan's subordinates.
After entering Guanzhong, Guan Yue showed his shrewd and capable side in Yongqi's governance, especially in the agricultural work of Zheng Guoqu. However, this ordinary life, especially the strict requirements for the ability of officials after Qin became stronger, made Guan Yue feel uncomfortable.
People will change.
Humans are also fickle animals.
Guan Yue stood in this era with his sleek and flexible handling methods. When Qin State was on the right track, he hoped that more young and enterprising fresh blood would join in. He hoped that the current officials would continue to learn and keep pace with the times, Guan Yue's thoughts would not be able to keep up.
He neither wants to give up his current power nor wants to try to keep up with the fast pace. If he chooses one of Chen Ping and Li Zheng as the prime minister, it will naturally be Li Zheng who is better fooling around.
——.
The beginning of the new year.
The Qin State government, which was calm on the surface, was suddenly changed and repeated. First, Prime Minister Chen Ping accepted bribes from Chen and requested to punish himself for three years of salary. At the same time, he gave part of the wealth in his family to the treasury for compensation. Some county magistrates who directly engaged in bribery, middle and lower-level officials such as Chen Yuan and others were dismissed from their official positions and sent back to their hometowns. Some of them involved in violating the criminal law will be handed over to the Tingwei Mansion for handling.
Then, at the court meeting, the Censor Li Zheng made a special statement on what Ji An said directly not long ago, and discussed some laws on the official's discussion and evaluation, focusing on the scope of statements involving slander, malicious attacks, etc., and prohibiting censors from committing evil actions and reporting in the name of direct advice.
After the two things, the Qin State's government was revived. Next, a group of officials who were behind in the performance appraisal, such as Guan Yue, the Dunong Supervisor, were removed from their corresponding positions and replaced by younger and more capable officials. Guan Yue had a lot of ideas about this at first, but after searching for King Wu Li Yuan once, he was completely speechless.
In addition to these changes, one night, a team of imperial guards entered Li Zheng's Censor's Office and arrested the remnants of Chen Di and other clans. Li Yuan gave a blunt order and directly executed the matter for those who died without being stalemate.
Chen Di's body was thrown into the barren mountains deep in Mount Li, and what awaited him was the gnawing of wild beasts in the mountains and forests. Others from the Chen family were exiled to the border areas, and the bitter fruit they planted themselves can now be borne by themselves. In the border counties where clan forces have no soil for survival, their descendants can only support themselves with their hands. Perhaps in a few generations, they will integrate into the people of the border areas and truly become part of their own support.
