Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 581 The Delayed Imperial Envoy

Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. This means that people with the same temperament or hobbies are often the easiest to become friends. In ancient times, Boya and Ziqi were the best examples.Although Liu Dong is not that pure and elegant person, he also has friends who are "connected with the same disease". There is a lame warehouse manager in his chief officer's grain depot who also formed a life-and-death friend with him because of Han Kui.

Speaking of the cripple and Liu Dong's official position as the head, there is a certain origin. The person before Liu Dong became the head because of his position.Back then, in order to allow his own people to sit in this position, Han Kui deliberately bribed the local scoundrels to create a conflict, which caused him to be so disabled that he could not be an official, so he was demoted to an ordinary treasury manager.

The affairs between Liu Dong and the Han family are known to everyone in Yongchang official circles, so there is basically no one willing to associate with him, and so after the lonely Liu Dong went to the grain depot to take charge of the affairs, he soon became a close friend .Before exposing the corruption in Yongchang's officialdom this time, the two discussed it for a while. If Liu Dong doesn't stand up, the remaining one will try to expose Yongchang's day.

With the grace of Li Chengqian's verbal pardon, Liu Dong happily handed over the token agreed by the two to Dou Kuan. Those ordinary people who Kuan found are strong!

It's not that the people's words are false and not trustworthy, but that according to Tang law, those who sue the officials with the people, no matter whether they are justified or not, and whether they are wrong or not, they will all be sent into exile. Putting the people at the forefront, isn't that It's a thunderbolt to deceive others!
The management of officials in the officialdom is firstly for the court, and secondly for the common people. In turn, it will not benefit others, so there is no need for the officialdom to be tidy. The cart before the horse!
With the testimony of the lame Kuguan, Li Chengqian decided to close the net and call Dou Kuan back to Beijing in the name of the court to narrate the administration of officials on the ground in order to avoid any mistakes in the night.At the same time, Han Kui was still appointed the governor of Yongchang, in charge of all important affairs of the Yongchang and Jinchi ministries. So far, the mission of Dou Kuan, the imperial envoy, has been successfully completed on the face of it.

Although Dou Kuan has not been in Yongchang for a long time, it is still their Shangxian, so it is more important to welcome and see off, so they held another grand farewell banquet, and Dou Kuan also happily shared with Han Kui and others. Sang the last big show where the guests and the host enjoyed together. .
On the night when Dou Kuan was sent away, Han Kui, who had transformed himself into a governor again, was in the lobby of the mansion office while touching the seal and muttering: "What's so good about being an official? If you squeeze your head, you'll be rewarded in the end." It’s nothing more than yellow and white things and the infamy of the front and back, alas, why did this old man come here, how much can my family eat and use!”

Although Han Kui is not a big official, he can be regarded as a land emperor who promises a lot in Yongchang, so it is natural to feel a little overwhelmed.Not to mention the rhetoric of being an official and benefiting one party, it is really not easy to say that he alone bears the livelihood of so many people in the entire Yongchang officialdom!
In the officialdom, one is either born in a wealthy family, leaning on a big tree to enjoy the shade, no matter where one goes, everyone has to be cautious, and when he is on a business, his relatives and friends are all over the world, so he can't be a magistrate there.

Besides, these local gentry-born officials all entrusted their connections to bring money up during the Wude period when the court was in urgent need of officials.

Even if you want to do practical things for the people, being a good official with a long history is also a delusion. If you become a big boss, people will say that you are fake and high, and your own officials are not from the right way. What kind of gentleman are you pretending to be?If you want to dig a hole to find a relationship and get promoted, then someone will tell you what it means to be contented and always happy.

Anyway, it's just a sentence, no matter what you do or don't do, it's wrong. In the officialdom, they and the children from poor families are always the easiest targets to attack.

Just when Han Kui was full of emotions, a voice suddenly came from the hall: "Since being an official is boring, why bother rolling around in this world of mortals? Wouldn't it be just right to become a monk or retire from an official position?" Now that such a big crime has been committed, the whole family may suffer, so why bother!"

"Who, who is it, come out, who dares to make trouble in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, are you impatient?"

Under Han Kui's shouting, from the darkness not far away, Li Chengqian and Dou Kuan in casual clothes walked in calmly.Han Kui felt very strange about the return of the imperial envoy, and what made him even more strange was the words, which were clearly intended to turn against him. Hmph, all important court officials are the same despicable villains.

"Shangshu Dou, what's the purpose of coming back again, and who is this little friend? Although the rank of the lower official is not high, is it unethical for you to eavesdrop on what I'm saying? Don't forget that there is a deal between us. And you brought such a person here, aren’t you afraid that the matter of taking bribes will be revealed?”, those who come are not kind, and those who are good will not come, but he is not a freelancer, otherwise he would not be able to wear the official clothes he is wearing today.

Han Kui didn't panic at all. During his stay in Yongchang, Dou Kuan not only accepted the women and gold he gave him, but also asked for a [-]% tax reduction with his name.Now that the deal is done, he doesn't care if Dou Kuan regrets it or not, it's a big deal, and everyone joins hands and jumps into the river together.

Li Chengqian raised his hand and interrupted Dou Kuan who was about to reply, sat down and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I can make you live, and I can make you die, or I can make your life worse than death." , it depends on how you, Dudu Han, want to choose?"

Li Chengqian's words are very clear, there is no need to inquire about his identity, I tell you clearly, I have the right, as long as you are willing to plead guilty, and cooperate with uprooting the entire Yongchang officialdom, you may be able to avoid the crime of harming the whole family.Otherwise, hehe, you can imagine how serious the consequences will be.

Han Kui was quite surprised to hear the young man sitting next to Dou Kuan talking so arrogantly. He was able to sit on an equal footing with an important official like Dou Kuan, and at such a young age, he didn't think of anything other than the sons of the clan.

The emperor Li Shimin is very different from his father and the emperors before him. He attaches great importance to the partial clans. Clans like Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, and Li Daoyan are all reused. more than [-]%.

The reason why they are so reused is firstly that they have this ability, and secondly because the loyalty of the close clan is more reliable than that of courtiers with different surnames.At the same time, his eccentricity is also reflected in the supervisory system. Most of the deputies of the supervisory censors who are sent to various provinces every year are from the clan, so Han Kui is not so surprised by Li Chengqian's appearance. The only strange thing is that he is so late. just showed up. .
