Chapter 040 Li Wenjie
Unlike other Xiazhou governors, Li Wenjie has not been busy with government affairs in Zibo this year.
First, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and thieves are becoming increasingly rare. Li Wenjie has another capable official, and many affairs have been well broken down and handled at the grassroots level. Instead, he, the chief official, was happy to be idle.
Second, after several years of great governance, Zizhou gradually incorporated into the rational and proper track of the legal system in managing affairs and people, greatly liberating the manpower and material resources of the entire Zizhou bureaucratic system itself.
Of course, the root cause is Li Wenjie's skillful local governance level.
Promote the people with kindness and conquer them with virtue.
Manage people with the law, and be fair and selfless.
This is often the case in the world. The capable ministers who govern the world are like sparks that can start a prairie fire. As the chief official, Li Wenjie is like a bright moon, attracting all the wise men and capable people from all over the world to come and continuously strengthen the intensity, breadth and depth of local governance. As a result, the people have a greater sense of belonging and dependence, abide by the rules and regulations, and form a virtuous cycle.
The so-called county governments are governed by the world. If there are more people like Li Wenjie, even if the eunuchs are still in power, they will not be at the end of the road.
Li Wenjie was reading a book in the study today, but suddenly he received a report from his yamen runners. There was another personal token from his mentor Yan Xiufu. He was happy and quickly ordered someone to invite him in.
But he saw the person who came so young in the study, and he was a pretty young man with a handsome face. He was a little surprised.
He remembered that there was no such person around his mentor?
"Boy, please pay homage to Governor Li!"
Li Wenjie has white face and no need, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there is a bit of righteousness between his eyebrows. When he meets such a capable minister, he feels a little respect in his heart.
This is true respect, not pretentious.
Li Wenjie smiled slightly, "It's not a court to meet in the inner room, so there is no need to be too polite. Besides, you are the one who was sent by the teacher Yan Gong to deliver the letter, and probably you are not an outsider. Is there a letter from the teacher?"
While talking, the middle-aged scholar and the young man in white also walked into the study one after another and sat on one side, which showed that the person had a close relationship with Li Wenjie.
The complex and lively eyes of the young man in white were still surfing Tang Chu back and forth. After a meaningful lesson from the middle-aged scholar, he did not dare to sarcastically sarcastically, but the inherent impression he had developed over the years and the contempt that came from the heart could not be removed so easily.
The middle-aged scholar listened carefully to the sudden reply.
In Li Wenjie's opinion, Yan Xiufu never gives personal tokens to others. Since the young man in front of him can come with this token, it at least means that he is a person that Yan Xiufu values very much or is very close to him.
So he asked for Yan Xiufu's letter.
He was a little hesitant.
But now that things have come to this point, there is no way to retreat.
He took out the written written by Yan Xiufu from his arms and handed over the imperial court to punish eunuchs, as well as the manifesto to openly fight against the thieves, and handed over it.
Li Wenjie only glanced at him, and immediately slapped the table in anger, raised his finger and shouted at Tang abruptly: "Who is you, a thief? How dare you fake the letter from the governor and harm Yan Gong?"
"Come on, arrest this thief for me!"
Tang Kuang smiled bitterly in his heart, it was indeed the case.
Li Wenjie was eager to protect Yan Xiufu. Even though he knew that the statement was true, he would not easily submit it. He would definitely arrest himself first and even kill people to silence him if necessary.
"Governor Li and Gong Yan have extraordinary relationships. They often have letters and official documents. Gong Yan's handwriting must be very familiar with him. This is written by Mr. Yan, so where is it a forgery?" Tang frowned abruptly and defended.
"Nonsense! The person who came quickly took him down!" Li Wenjie looked angry.
He naturally knew Yan Xiufu's handwriting, but even Yan Xiufu's words that publicly turned against Qiu Shiliang's eunuch group, he could not act rashly even if Yan Xiufu wrote them.
Anyway, the young man with unknown origin in front of him must be controlled.
Two yamen runners broke in, clamping their abrupt arms on the left and right, and without saying a word, he put a cold iron chain around his neck.
The middle-aged scholar's eyes showed strange eyes and pondered without saying a word.
The boy in white stood up suddenly, stunned.
"Mr. Yan's life is in danger. I also asked Governor Li to send Yan's letter to the capital immediately, and spread the manifesto of Yan's public anti-threat attacks in Qingzhou to all walks of life." Tang said abruptly: "If Governor Gong does not listen, he will harm Yan's life, don't regret it!"
"Mr. Yan is in danger?" Li Wenjie was shocked.
He sat down slowly, stared at Tang Kuo with deep eyes, carefully read Yan Xiufu's confession and manifesto, then handed it to the middle-aged scholar beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, please look!"
The middle-aged scholar took it over and looked at it carefully. After a long time, he looked up and smiled: "The governor and Duke Yan are masters and apprentices, and they have close contacts. Are you sure this is a letter written by Duke Yan?"
"Sir, this is indeed written by my teacher, and it is true that the seal is written by me. But how can my teacher do it easily when he criticizes the thief like this? Besides, if my teacher is determined to attack the thief, how can he not discuss it with me? Doing so hasty will definitely be coerced or have other traitors!"
"You little servant, come from the truth quickly. Otherwise, I will not blame you for being a serious crime of framed by the important officials of the court and plotting evil deeds!" Li Wenjie slapped the table and said harshly.
The middle-aged scholar waved his hand, looked at Tang with a smile and said gently, "Why is Yan Gong like this, do you have any explanation?"
He nodded abruptly, and he talked happily, and Qingzhou secretly said slowly.
Li Wenjie's expression changed when he heard this.
Even the middle-aged scholar became solemn.
Both Li Wenjie and middle-aged scholars were knowledgeable, observing their words and expressions, and carefully analyzing them. They judged that the abrupt words were true.
Besides, Tang Ku is the son of Tang Ping, and he is also considered a descendant of a famous family. There is no need to travel far to Zizhou to open a river.
However, Zhu Teng, the governor of Qingzhou, tried to rebel and separatist the Ziqing vassal states, and there were mixed with the riots of a major force in the court and the eunuchs' forces. This was really shocking.
How dare they believe it?
Li Wenjie exchanged a deep look with the middle-aged scholar.
The middle-aged scholar calmed down and said lightly: "What the young man said is really amazing. As you said, Mr. Yan is in danger at this moment. Since his life is at stake, Mr. Yan does not seek to protect himself at this moment, and he will cause trouble and offend the eunuchs. Isn't that strange?"
"The person who is the one who is responsible for Duke Yan is not only Zhu Teng, the governor of Qingzhou. The inside story will be known in the future. At this moment, Duke Yan can only take the chestnut from the fire and break it and then live. As long as the message spreads and angers the eunuchs in the capital, no one dares to harm Duke Yan again, otherwise he will become a scapegoat."
Tang suddenly straightened his waist and shook the iron chains on his body, making a rumbling sound: "The eunuch is in power, and Yan Gong's letter arrives in Chang'an, and the court dismissed Yan Gong and escorted him back to Beijing for punishment. Only in this way can Yan Gong save his life and leave Qingzhou in order to achieve the future."
The middle-aged scholar took a breath, turned his head and said softly to Li Wenjie: "Governor, Mr. Liu thinks this matter should be true. Mr. Yan wrote it himself and his personal token, so there is no need to doubt it. Of course, Mr. Gui can also send someone to Qingzhou to verify the authenticity, anyway, it will take only two or three days to travel back and forth."
Tang Kuang also bowed: "Please ask the governor to learn from him."
"I will send someone to Qingzhou to find out the news. If you prove that what you said is true, I will express my words on behalf of my mentor. But if you have any lies, I will not spare you easily."
