Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight of the imperial envoy who showed up late

Birds of birds flock together, and people are divided into groups. This means that people with the same temper or the same hobbies are often the easiest to become friends. In ancient times, Boya and Ziqi were the best examples. Although Liu Dong was not a pure and elegant person, he also had a friend who was "connected with the same disease". In his official grain warehouse, a cripple warehouse manager also became a friend of his death because of Han Kui.

Speaking of the cripple and Liu Dong, the official position in charge, is that the person before Liu Dong was appointed as the chief position because he took over his position. Back then, in order to allow his own people to take this position, Han Kui specially bribed the local scoundrels and created a conflict, causing him to be disabled and unable to become an official, so he was demoted to an ordinary warehouse manager.

The affairs of Liu Dong and the Han family are well known in the Yongchang officialdom, so there is basically nothing to do with him. So after the lonely Liu Dong came to the grain warehouse to take charge of the affairs, he soon became a close friend with him. Before exposing the corruption in the Yongchang officialdom this time, the two discussed that if Liu Dong did not take the blame, the remaining one would have to find ways to break Yongchang that day.

With Li Chengqian's grace of verbal pardon, Liu Dong happily handed the token agreed upon by the two to Dou Kuan. Although the cripple manager did not have a grade, he was a member of the public. He was naturally better than the common people that Dou Kuan found!

It’s not that the people’s words are false and not trustworthy. But according to the Tang law, those who sue officials with the people will be punished by the people, regardless of whether they are right or wrong, they will be exiled. If they are pushed to the forefront, wouldn’t it be a scam for others to take the thunder!

The official rule in the officialdom is for the court and the people. Looking back, it is for the benefit of others. Then there is no need to rectify the officialdom or not. Put the cart before the horse!

With the testimony of the cripple bank manager, in order to avoid any mistakes in the long night and dreams, Li Chengqian decided to close the net and summon Dou Kuan back to Beijing to describe the government on earth. At the same time, he was still appointed as the governor of Yongchang and in charge of all the important tasks of Yongchang and Jinchi. At this point, Dou Kuan, the special envoy of the imperial envoy, was successfully completed in the face.

Although Dou Kuan has not been in Yongchang for a long time, it was their first ceremony, and it was still a matter of welcoming and sending off, so they held another grand farewell banquet, and Dou Kuan happily sang the last drama of the host and the host together with Han Kui and others...

On the night when Dou Kuan was sent away, Han Kui, who had transformed into a governor, touched the seal in the lobby of the government office, muttering: "What's the point of being this official? He squeezed his head out. What he gained in the end was nothing more than a yellow and white thing and the infamy in front of him and behind him. Alas, why bother? How much can my family eat and use!"

Although Han Kui's official position is not big, he can be regarded as a local emperor in Yongchang with only one word, so it is normal for some people to feel that he is so cold at the height. Not to mention the bold words of being an official and benefiting the people, just saying that he has borne the livelihoods of so many people in the Yongchang officialdom alone, it is really not easy to let everyone get something!

In the officialdom, you either come from a wealthy family and have a great reputation. You can enjoy the shade by relying on a big tree. No matter where you go, everyone will be afraid of it. When you are in trouble, your relatives and friends are all over the world, but you can't be a local official.

Let’s talk about the officials from local gentry. During the Wude period, they all used their relationship to make money by taking advantage of the imperial court’s urgent need for officials. They had no foundation in the officialdom and were constrained everywhere, which was despised by scholars and officials.

It is just to do practical things for the people. Being a good official who has a reputation in history is also a delusion. If you become a big boss and say that you are a noble person, your official position is not from the right way. You are pretending to be a gentleman! If you want to dig a door and steal a hole to find a relationship and promotion, someone will tell you what it means to be contented and happy.

Anyway, it’s just a saying, no matter how you do or not, it’s wrong. In the officialdom, they and poor families will always be the most likely targets to attack.

Just when Han Kui was feeling a lot, a voice suddenly came from the hall: "Since this official is boring, why bother to roll in the world of ten feet? Isn't it just right to become a monk or retire? Now that I have committed such a big sin, the whole family may suffer with it, so why bother to come!"

"Who, who is it? Come out, who dares to make trouble in the lobby of the Governor's Office? Are you impatient to live?"

With Han Kui's shouts and scolding, Li Chengqian and Dou Kuan, dressed in casual clothes, walked in calmly from the darkness not far away. Han Kui felt very strange about the imperial envoy's return, and what made him even more strange was that those words were obviously coming to turn against him. Humph, all the important officials of the court were the same despicable villains.

"What is the purpose of Dou Shangshu, but he returns? Who is this young friend? Although the grade of the subordinate official is not high, is it a bit unethical to listen to what you say? Don't forget that there is a deal between us. And you come with such a person, aren't you afraid of the bribery being exposed?" The person who comes is not good, and the kind will not come, but he is not an idle person, otherwise the government will not wear it today.

Han Kui was not at all panicked. During his time in Yongchang, Dou Kuan not only collected the women and gold he gave, but also asked him to reduce the tax by 30%. Now that the situation is done, he doesn't care whether Dou Kuan regrets it. At worst, it's a big deal. Everyone 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. What's important is that I can make you live and die, or that makes you live worse than death. It depends on what you, Governor Han, want to choose?"

Li Chengqian said very clearly. It is unnecessary to inquire about identity and other things. I will tell you clearly that 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, haha, you can imagine how serious the consequences will be.

Han Kui was quite surprised to hear the young man sitting side by side talking so arrogantly. He was able to be on par with important officials like Dou Kuan, and he was so young that he would not do anything except the children of the royal family.

The emperor Li Shimin was very different from his father and the emperor before him. He attached great importance to the partial clan members. Clans like Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, and Li Daoyan were all valued. In the huge yamen in the Northern Yaman, the clan members accounted for more than 30%.
