Chapter 227 Prefect Luo

Cao Dacheng was dismissed from office, left Yunzhou City with his wife and children and returned to his hometown of Minzhou.

Half a month later, the imperial court reappointed an official surnamed Luo to take up a post in Yunzhou.

Prefect Luo's name is Luo Hu. He is only in his early 30s this year, and he has a fair face and beardless. On the first day of his tenure, he specially invited all the officials with positions in Yunzhou City to meet and have a meal together.

The banquet was held in a medium-sized restaurant in Yunzhou City. The dishes were neither simple nor luxurious, just ordinary.Luo Hu was very polite when speaking at the banquet, because he was a newcomer, so everyone couldn't understand his temper, and no one dared to talk nonsense.

Because Zhang Jian joined the army at the third rank, he was two ranks higher than Luo Hu. Luo Hu was very polite to Zhang Jian, and called Mr. Zhang one by one.

Zhang Jian responded with a smile, carefully considering what kind of person this Luo Hu is since he can replace Cao Dacheng to come to Yunzhou City as an official.

The reason why Cao Dacheng fell from the horse was that no one knew who beat him with a stick in the dark, and his superiors escorted him to the capital without a sound, and there was no news at all beforehand.

Zhang Jian watched from the sidelines secretly, and saw that Luo Hu was long-sleeved and good at dancing, with exquisite faces, but he was a smooth and transparent person.After observing for a while, Zhang Jian wondered secretly, and found that this Luo Hu was good to others, but he showed a little more deliberate favor to Pei Jing.

Both of them are fifth rank, a civil official and a general, and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. If Luo Hu could be allowed to do such a thing, Zhang Jian couldn't help but be a little more careful in secret.

To be honest, Zhang Jian and Cao Dacheng can be regarded as Prince Xiang's people, but since Cao Dacheng can be investigated by accident, if this Luo Hu belongs to the prince, then Zhang Jian himself must be on guard against Luo Hu is.

But looking at Luo Hu's attitude towards Pei Jing, Zhang Jian himself was a little uncertain about what side Pei Jing was.

To be honest, Pei Jing is considered a half-popular person in front of the Crown Prince and Prince Xiang, maybe these two people are trying to win Pei Jing over.

Zhang Jian thought about it secretly, found a time after the meal, called Pei Jing to his study alone, and asked Pei Jing what happened when he came to Beijing this time.

Pei Jing was a little surprised, but Zhang Jian had always taken care of him, and the two had a personal relationship, not to mention that their wives handed handkerchiefs to each other, and Pei Jing had nothing to hide, so he was in Beijing What happened is told from the beginning.She even told Zhang Jian about Concubine De's intention to let Pei Yue marry Xiao Yefeng, which she just heard.

After Zhang Jian listened carefully, apart from what Pei Jing said at the end, the day before he left, Prince Xiang and the crown prince asked him to hint to him to be loyal to him, there was indeed nothing special about it.

But the crown prince is the East Palace, the future emperor; Prince Xiang has a high position and authority, second only to the crown prince. If Pei Jing's younger sister can really marry Prince Xiang, then even Pei Jing's status will rise and become a relative of the emperor. .

Zhang Jian was silent for a long while before sighing: "I don't ask you this because I want to inquire about the privacy you have added. It's just that Cao Dacheng was dismissed too quickly without any prior information, and this Luo Hu's identity is strange. , we have to guard against it."

Pei Jing paused, and said: "I'm young and inexperienced, and I don't understand many things, so please ask Mr. Zhang to give you some pointers."

Zhang Jian sighed softly: "Now the court looks peaceful, but to be honest, the crown prince has just ascended to power and his foundation is not stable, so his first task now is to secure his position in the East Palace. Prince Xiang is the supreme prince, No one can compare to you except the prince, but if this is the case, I am afraid that the prince will be afraid of you. When two tigers fight, one will be injured. Now that the prince and Prince Xiang are here to show their favor to you, you can understand it. You have to rely on it which side?"

Pei Jing was stunned for a long time before saying: "I didn't think so much. As an official, I just want to live a peaceful life and protect my family and children for a lifetime of peace and happiness. I have no interest in party disputes."

Zhang Jian sighed: "Who doesn't have such an idea in life? But you are promoted so fast now, it is impossible to say that you have nothing to do with these two people. Since you have fallen into Once you get in, how can you get out so easily?"

Pei Jing remained silent.

Zhang Jian said: "To be honest, Cao Dacheng and I can be said to be Prince Xiang's people. Although Prince Xiang did not take any action, he was still guarding against the prince in secret. Now that Lao Cao was suddenly dismissed by the higher authorities, and Here comes this man named Luo Hu, none of us can tell where he is from. If it was sent by Prince Xiang, then we can talk about everything. If he is really from the prince, I'm afraid..."

Zhang Jian didn't say what happened next, but Pei Jing opened his mouth and understood a little bit without asking.

Pei Jing was silent for a while, and then said: "I know, but I still say that, I have no interest in party disputes, and even my sister-in-law is not willing to marry Prince Xiang."

Zhang Jian stood up, patted Pei Jing on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Since you want to protect yourself wisely, it can be regarded as a way to protect yourself, but I don't know if these two people will let you go." But these words are too early to say, let's just wait and see."

Luo Hu had worked as an official in other state capitals for several years, and he quickly got his hands on the affairs of the government office, and cooperated happily with the superiors and subordinates. Gradually, many officials and squires gradually became more courageous. As always, do some illegal acts of black box operation.

Pei Jing noticed something, so he told Zhang Jian, Zhang Jian just smiled and said: "Well, we don't need to pay attention to it, and we will know what kind of person he is after seeing how Luo Hu behaves." .”

Sure enough, within a month, Luo Hu, the new official's first fire, was aroused.

A large group of corrupt officials were caught and copied, and all of them were sent to the capital with a letter.

For Luo Hu's behavior style, the person who was not caught with the pigtails was secretly relieved. Anyway, the corruption in Yunzhou City is indeed countless times better than when Cao Dacheng was there.

Zhang Jian watched coldly, and finally said only one sentence to Pei Jing: "Luo Hu belongs to the prince."

Pei Jing thought, probably among those who were arrested, many of them belonged to Prince Xiang Xiao Yefeng.

But before Luo Hu's second fire was ignited, Jingzhong issued a decree. Zhang Jian was transferred to Fucheng, Nandi, and his position remained the same. Handover.

With this order, the two main civil and military officials in Yunzhou City were all replaced in a short period of time, and everyone had to secretly speculate whether the sky should change again?
