Chapter 149 Yang Mou: Immediate Compensation
"Great! The officials are finally going to seal us up!"

Xiang Jia, Xiang Zongliang, and Xiang Zonghui said excitedly.

The Empress Dowager Xiang has no sons. Although she is the Empress Dowager in name, she is not close to the official family. In order to fear that the Xiang family will be arrogant and domineering and cause disaster, she has been suppressing the Xiang family and not allowing the Xiang family to be an official.

Now, in order to win over the Queen Mother, Zhao Xu took the initiative to beg for an official position for the two brothers of the Xiang family. The Xiang family has been suppressed for many years, and once they get a chance, they naturally eagerly come to Kaifeng City to wait.

However, there are too many officials in the world who are favored to seek official positions. Many people have waited in line for many years and it is not their turn to seek official positions.

"This time, I will definitely ask for a real vacant official position. The official family has made great achievements in governing the Empress Dowager. Naturally, the official family will not treat the Xiang family badly." Xiang Zongliang said excitedly.

Xiang Zonghui nodded excitedly. The Xiang family has been suppressed for nearly 20 years, and they can't wait. If they don't seize the opportunity at this moment, if something happens to the Queen Mother, then the Xiang family will completely decline.

When the brothers of the Xiang family rushed to the palace, they found that they were not the ones summoned together. The descendants of the Gao family were also there, as well as a group of middle-aged officials, who were obviously benevolent officials who hadn't waited for many years.

"The officials are here!" Following Tong Guan's sharp voice, Zhao Xu appeared in front of the benevolent officials.

"Your servants will kowtow to the officials!" A group of alternate Enyin officials kowtowed in restrained excitement.

When Zhao Xu saw the members of the Xiang family and the Gao family, he couldn't help showing a sly smile and said, "All my lovers are officials who haven't been on the waiting list for many years. It's because I have treated you all badly."

"The official's words are serious, and the minister dare not wait!" Xiang Zongliang immediately expressed his loyalty. They have not been candidates for officials, so it is impossible to say that they have no opinions. Now that they are about to be elected, the previous complaints will naturally be swept away.

The other alternate officials followed suit.

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Now I have an important task to entrust to all my loves!"

"Heavy duty!"

The Xiang family brothers couldn't help being surprised, and the other alternate officials couldn't help being shocked, and suddenly looked up.

What is a heavy responsibility? Naturally, the greater the official position, the heavier the responsibility.

"The minister will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

All the alternate officials couldn't wait to speak.

"Okay! All my lovers should have heard that I'm implementing the government's long-term plan for a century-old plan." Zhao Xu said solemnly.

The hearts of all the alternate officials were shocked, and they had heard about the commotion of the labor service. Although they didn't agree with it in their hearts, they couldn't care so much now because of their official positions.

Besides, only by joining the political reform can one become a confidant of the officials, and one might not be able to flourish in the future.

Zhao Xu continued: "I decided to let Feng Er and others be inspectors to monitor the Qingzhang's farmland in Kaifeng Mansion."

Brother Xiang's brows frowned immediately. The position of the inspector may seem prestigious, but it has no real power, and the job of clearing Zhang Zhang's land is a job that offends others. This official is thankless and not a good job.

The other alternate officials were also silent, obviously understanding that this inspector is not easy to do, but Zhao Xu's next sentence made everyone's breathing stagnate.

"If any officials are found to be colluding with each other, accepting bribes and maliciously obstructing Qingzhang Tianmu, once it is found out, they will be dismissed immediately, and they can be replaced immediately." Zhao Xu said.

"Replenish immediately!"

Suddenly all the alternate officials were breathless. Once upon a time, they had been alternates for many years and still hadn't had their turn. Even if they had the opportunity, they were only small officials in remote places, and officials were also despised. Jinshi and rank officials were the easiest to promote, while It is easy for Enyin to seek and get an official, but it is extremely difficult to be promoted, and the official rank and power are low.

As soon as the time comes out now, they may directly stand in for the Beijing official, the master Bo resigns, they stand in for the master Bo, the county magistrate resigns, and they stand in for the county magistrate, this is a godsend opportunity.

"The ministers will definitely live up to the grace!"

All the alternate officials said without hesitation.

Get out of the palace!Gao Gongjie, a descendant of the Gao family, deliberately shortened the distance with the descendants of the Xiang family, and immediately said: "The two uncles will not fail to understand the purpose of the official family. The people with the most hidden land in Kaifeng Mansion are noble people. This is the official family. Use me as a weapon."

Now that there are quite a lot of alternate officials, everyone knows why the officials want to appoint people from the Gao family and the Xiang family.

Xiang Zongliang sneered and said, "So what? You and I want to be officials, where do we come from? Naturally, someone will step down, and I will wait until I get up."

"If it's a normal candidate, it's my turn to wait. I'm afraid it's no more than a deputy in a remote place. Now there is an opportunity to be a sixth-rank Beijing official. This is a golden opportunity." Xiang Zonghui said equally excitedly.

"The two uncles can imagine that if this happens, we will completely offend the nobles of Bianjing." He will cut himself off from the noble circle.

"Otherwise, what can we do? The official gave us the opportunity to make up for it immediately. If we don't know each other and miss the opportunity, I'm afraid that during the official's reign, we will completely lose our chance to be an official." Xiang Zonghui sighed quietly.

Gao Gongjie was silent for a moment, he knew that what the two of the Xiang family said was true, one side was his own future, the other was honorable affection, naturally affection was not as important as future.

Xiang Zongliang continued: "Since it is a conspiracy, there is naturally no solution. Even if we can't bear to make a move, what about them?"

After all, Xiang Zongliang cast his eyes on the officials who had been waiting for many years in front of them. They had waited for many years, and now they finally got the opportunity. In the Song Dynasty, literati ruled the country, and the nobles were not to be messed with.

Gao Gongjie couldn't help being startled, and nodded slowly, a poor fellow Taoist, a position of a sixth-rank Beijing official is enough for him to let go of any sympathy.

"Inspector!"

When Zhao Xu appointed a group of alternate officials to be the inspectors of the apportioned labor, the entire Kaifeng Mansion and the nobles didn't take it seriously at all.

After all, it has been a tradition for officials and officials to protect each other in the past. The magistrates of various counties help conceal their land properties today, and naturally there will be officials who conceal their land properties in the future, even for alternate officials.

However, the development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectation. This group of alternate officials turned out to be extremely aggressive. They didn't care about the so-called official rules at all, and they didn't care about anyone's feelings when they checked them out. A large number of hidden fields were quickly found out.

"Wei Jun, magistrate of Xiangfu County, disregarded the laws of the country, took bribes, and helped the landlord to conceal his property! Take his official position and send him to Lingnan!" Gao Gongjie, holding the imperial decree in the Xiangfu county government, shouted coldly.

Wei Jun, magistrate of Xiangfu County, immediately collapsed to the ground. He didn't expect that Gao's family would disregard the respect of Xungui, and investigate the property of the big landlord of Xungui, revealing all the things he had concealed about the property.

"It's bad luck for me, and you won't end well." Wei Jun cursed, Gao Gongjie broke the rules of officialdom, and he will definitely not be allowed in officialdom in the future.

Gao Gongjie sneered and said, "That's not necessarily true! According to the government's order, during the inspector's inspection, if any officials are corrupted or dereliction of duty, dismissed and investigated, the inspector can make up for it immediately. I am the new magistrate of Xiangfu County."

"Replenish immediately!"

Wei Jun couldn't help being startled, and immediately understood the reason why Gao Gongjie was so crazy. It turned out that it was not because he was selfless, but because he was eyeing his own official position.

"Xungui misunderstood me," Wei Jun said angrily.He worked hard all his life, and then he became a Jinshi and became an official, but now he has disappeared.

Song Dynasty was tolerant of civil servants and advocated that the punishment should not be higher than that of doctors. However, corruption and bribery are also serious crimes. Now that his incident happened, his life's fame and fame will be in vain.
