Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 209;

Chapter Two Hundred and Nine; Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea

The west side hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the meeting place for ministers of civil and military affairs.

Although today is not the first day of the junior high school or the grand dynasty of the fifteenth day, there are still a lot of people here.

If you look carefully, people with five surnames and seven families come especially neatly.

In twos and threes, there are a few here and there, whispering, and the generals are also gathering together, I don't know what they are talking about.

"Everyone, how are you getting in touch?"

Lu Jishan whispered to those around him.

"Brother Lu, don't worry, as long as he goes to court today, the Chang'an county magistrate will be brought down first, and he will be punished for the crime of lax management and negligence."

Wang Ting said confidently.

"Brother Cui, what do you mean...brother Cui?"

Lu Jishan, seeing that Cui Zheng was still wandering away, yelled twice in succession.

"Oh, well, what? What are you talking about?"

Cui Zheng came back to his senses just now under the repeated calls of several people.

Seeing that he was not normal, Lu Jishan's heart tightened, and he had already guessed the origin of the matter, so he asked casually;
"Brother Cui, I don't know how your Sanlang's injuries are? Have you ever recovered?"

"Ah... I left, I left last night, the golden hairpin was inserted deep into my skull, since I pulled it back, I haven't opened my eyes.

In the middle of the night, someone came to inform me that I was gone, gone, oh..."

After hearing this, several people fell silent, not knowing what to say.

If you want to talk about consolation, they all know what those few have done, and it's not a corpse shrouded in horse leather on the battlefield, it's glorious to mention it.

With such a scandal, it would be better not to speak at all.

Cui Panke, looking at his elder brother, felt lost, so he could only divert the topic;

"Brother, on weekdays, the court meeting has started long ago. Why is there no movement today? Brother, do you know why?"

"A certain family doesn't know, maybe it's His Majesty, the dragon's body is sick, or maybe it's because it got up late today."

Everyone was about to continue talking, when they heard the servant who had passed the message, came out and raised his voice, telling everyone to go to court.

The civil and military officials finished everything and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

"My dear friends, you are welcome."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"If you have something to do, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do."

Qian Dehai let go of the male duck's throat, and routinely performed his official business~ shouted every day.

Li Shimin looked at the officials below with a calm expression.

Hmph, they all look alike.

"My dear friends, if you have nothing to do today, then you will retreat. I have been a little tired these few days, why don't you all go back to the mansion to rest."

In the family group, everyone looked at each other without speaking.

Wang Ting was short-tempered, he said it was a good thing, why did he shirk it, scolded a group of old foxes in his heart, and stepped out of the class by himself.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have the original performance."

"Oh, Wang Aiqing has something to do, so let's play it in the hall."

Wang Ting is a little strange, today is not the same as in the past, firstly the court meeting was postponed, and now the memorial is not accepted, what is the reason?
"Report to Your Majesty, I want to participate in the Chang'an county magistrate's crimes of negligence in government affairs, lax governance, and neglect of supervision."

"Then say it clearly, or call him a civil and military minister, and listen to the details."

"Zunzhi, at You hour yesterday, the minister's eldest son was walking in the downtown area with a few classmates and friends, but he was severely injured by gangsters.

Another servant died on the spot, Cui Sanlang of Cui Zheng's family, a doctor in the official department, was also seriously injured and unconscious. He returned last night with 19 people in his company.

The magistrate of Chang'an County, as a local parent official, has lax governance and negligence in affairs, causing the people under his rule to suffer heavy losses, and they can't wait for a long time afterwards.

Therefore, I want to read his book. This person is negligent and ignores political affairs.

Eat the king's salary, but not be loyal to the king. According to the laws of my Tang Dynasty, I should be dismissed and investigated, and another wise man should be selected. Please make a decision. "

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, and Niu Jinda stood closest to each other, looked at each other, and then looked at each other's colleagues next to them.

They all seem baffled, today, isn't he going to participate in the performance of Li Jia Dalang?
If there is a grievance and a debtor, it's time to join Li Dalang. How did you get involved with the magistrate of Chang'an?
Yu Chigong was the most anxious, his 20 was almost all his belongings, although there was some surplus in the mansion, it was not much.

This is still waiting for Li Dalang, hurry up to make wine to make money, how can he be entangled in this matter.

Just as he was about to leave the shift, seeing Cheng Yaojin shaking his head, he had no choice but to step back half a step back.

"Oh, Xiao Tong, magistrate of Chang'an County, I have also heard about it. I heard that he is politically clear, fair and honest, and he handles things fairly.

The tax money is not bad at all, why does Ai Qing say that he is so negligent in government affairs?

Wang Aiqing, has the investigation been clear? "

"Returning to Your Majesty, after I brought my son back, I have never seen County Magistrate Xiao come forward to investigate this matter.

It must be that the affairs at home are busy, so I can't get away. "

Wang Ting's words were poisonous enough, on the surface he excused Xiao Tong, but in fact he was misleading people.

"Your Majesty, although I'm not an official of Yushitai, I'm just discussing the matter.

Now that two people died and more than a dozen people were seriously injured, the magistrate of Chang'an didn't care,
Even if he is not held accountable for lax governance, at least the crime of negligence cannot be excused, the minister seconded. "

Cui Zhenggang had lost his son, and he had been very angry for a long time. He also lost his previous patience, so he couldn't help but came out to help.

Before Li Shimin had time to speak, more than a dozen people stood up in twos and threes.

"My minister agrees."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

Li Shimin sneered in his heart, and said calmly on the surface;
"Every family loves you, don't worry, if it is really Xiao Tong, the governance is not strict, how can Chang'an County be handed over to him, naturally we have to choose someone else."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

"Book in the room,"

"Your Majesty, here is my minister."

"Aiqing, who is in charge of managing the affairs of the state and concurrently serving as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, what is Aiqing's opinion on the Chang'an county magistrate, Xiao Tong?"

"His Majesty, if another person comes, I should be fair and just. It's just that Xiao Tong is the disciple of the minister.

It is inconvenient for me to say more on this matter, and I ask your Majesty to learn from you. "

"Your Majesty, Chen Tian has the most reason to speak for the evaluation of officials. According to the performance evaluations over the years, Xiao Tong, the county magistrate of Chang'an County, is ranked first every time.
If such achievements are made, he must be punished for the crime of lax governance and negligence of supervision. I dare not agree. "

"Oh, Mr. Li, what you said is the truth."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister and that Xiao Tong are neither related nor related, why bother to ask for trouble?

What I said is the truth, Your Majesty can ask someone to go to the Ministry of Officials, and you will know the truth immediately after checking the truth. "

Li Xiao, a member of the Ministry of Officials, presided over the review of officials, and he knew who was good and who was bad.

Moreover, Li Xiao is an upright person by nature, he never talks nonsense, let alone wrongs anyone, so he still has some credibility.

"Your Majesty, regardless of whether there is any fault or not, so many courtiers have questioned it, and it is not groundless.

According to my opinion, it is better to suspend his post as county magistrate first, and wait for Dali Temple to find out the facts. If there is no fault, then let him continue to serve. I wonder what your Majesty thinks? "

Lu Jishan couldn't hold back anymore, but fortunately he was still awake, he was not dazzled by his son's injury, and he had three or four minutes to speak.

Anyway, today, the real purpose is to run Xiao Tong away first, so as to facilitate the next move. As for the future, as long as Li Yu is killed, he will continue to be his county magistrate.

Li Shimin put on a friendly face and smiled;

"What Lu Aiqing said is not unreasonable, but this Chang'an County is no different than other places, and the government is located in the busy city of Chang'an City. If Xiao Tong is suspended, how will various affairs be carried out?"

Seeing that the emperor was a little relieved, Lu Jishan quickly took a look at Zheng Shiliang.

Zheng Shiliang understood and went out to play;

"Your Majesty, Chang'an County will not be short of a chief official for a day, but I have a lot of talents in the Tang Dynasty.
It is not difficult to choose an official who temporarily acts as the county magistrate, and it is not necessary to beat him to death with a stick.

You can suspend Xiao Tong first, and then ask Dali Temple to find out the ins and outs. If he is honest and upright, then he will be given justice.

If it is true that the law is bent for personal gain, the governance is not strict, and there are negligence, and the way is out of the way, it is also a good time to clean up a bureaucracy. Please make a decision. "

"According to what Aiqing thinks, who should be the interim county magistrate?"

Zheng Shiliang was quite a bit restless and happy. What happened today seems to be able to achieve his goal without much effort.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think..."

"Qi Zou Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate,"

Another member of the Ministry of Officials, Liang Yi, stood up and interrupted Zheng Shiliang, who was about to recommend officials.

This Liang Yi has a steelyard in her heart, she has been in the official department for several years, and now she is still a member of the sixth rank.

Although he didn't have any great achievements, he was down-to-earth, did everything well, and never dared to slack off, but depending on the situation, it would be as difficult as climbing the sky if he wanted to get ahead.

Early this morning, according to the usual practice, when I greeted the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, when I greeted him, I was praised by the Minister. Not only that, but I also relaxed and pointed out a little bit of confusion.

Liang Yi was overjoyed, since Fang Xiang pointed out, she really should think carefully,
In the past, I always wanted to make a name for myself in Chang'an City,

However, ability is limited after all, and there is no backer or support behind it.

It is really too difficult to think about it. If you continue to be persistent, it will be too late in another ten years.

Why don't you just follow Fang Shangshu's advice and go down to the local government? Being a magistrate is also a good choice.

What's more, what the Shangshu implied was that there was a position that had just been vacated, and it was an important position with real power...

Received such a great favor from Shang Shu, and awakened myself who was sleeping on the beach, how should I repay this?

There is also the vacant post of local official, it is impossible for no one to compete, just wait to occupy it by yourself, who should be hired to do this, why not?

He was listening to all the officials talking about each other, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, since Xiao Tong is a disciple of Shangshu, today...

Shang Shu had just been intimate with himself, and now, these things came up immediately, whether it was Fang Shangshu, I had expected it, the more I thought about Liang Yi, the more suspicious I became.

"Oh, Mr. Liang, if you think something is wrong, please tell me in person."
