Chapter 873
As soon as Wang Zhuo heard the word "rebellion", his whole body tensed up instantly.
Although there is still a gap between the current local Xiang army and the border army, under Zongze's rectification and military system changes, the combat effectiveness has increased a lot.
At least local banditry has been significantly reduced.
Wang Zhuo immediately ordered a thousand soldiers and horses and set off from Linjiang Army.
On February 17, Wang Zhuo arrived in Hongzhou from Linjiang Army.
When Chen Yuru was arrested, Qin Hui immediately went to Linjiang Army to mobilize troops instead of promoting someone locally to temporarily appoint a transfer envoy.
According to the rules, a ruler has no right to mobilize troops, but who would have thought that he had the imperial edict from Zhao Guan's family?
That night, Wang Tiao's troops entered the city.
Also that night, Qin Hui held a steamed bun in one hand and was eating it with concentration.
There were noisy sounds outside.
"I am the prefect of Longxing Prefecture, you dare to arrest me!" Liu Chu, the prefect of Longxing Prefecture, shouted.
When he was brought to Qin Hui, his face was immediately filled with smiles: "Qin Xianggong, is there any misunderstanding?"
"This is Chen Yuru's account book. I heard that you have given him a lot of money and antiques in recent years." Qin Hui pointed to the table. He was eating steamed buns and did not reach out to take them.
"this……"
"Oh, by the way, Chen Yuru is a treasonous rebel. As a prefect, do you give money to the rebels?" Qin Hui stuffed the last piece of steamed bun in his right hand, took a sip of water, and looked at the confused Liu Chu,
The voice said calmly, "You are also a rebel."
"I'm not a rebel, how could I be a rebel? Qin Xianggong misunderstood..."
Qin Hui waved his hand: "Delay them and interrogate them rigorously. There must be more rebels."
"Xiangong Qin, I have been wronged by the official. I am the official..."
Before Liu Chu could finish speaking, he was forcibly dragged out, and his voice could be heard vaguely from outside: "Qin Hui, you thief, you slandered Zhongliang!"
Some officials standing on the side lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger for fear of being labeled as rebels by Qin Hui.
"Wang He."
"The official is here."
"What was your previous official position?"
"The lower official is the envoy of the Transportation Department."
"How many years have you been an official?"
"A whole twenty years."
"Oh, it took twenty years to become a fifth-rank official?"
"The lower officials are less talented and less knowledgeable. Naturally, they cannot be compared with Qin Xianggong."
"You will be the temporary transfer envoy. I will report to His Majesty that the Chief Secretary's Office will be set up on Jiangnan West Road. You will do your best in the future."
Wang He was stunned for a moment and did not react.
"how?"
"Yes, yes! Thank you Qin Xianggong for the promotion!"
"Zhou Xun."
"The official is here."
"You will take over as the prefect of Longxing Prefecture when you come."
"I would like to thank Xianggong Qin for the promotion. I am willing to go through fire and water for Xianggong Qin without any hesitation!"
The other officials around him were very excited. It seemed that they were going to be promoted today.
The so-called temporary officials refer to temporary appointments by governors based on specific local conditions.
The power to appoint local officials lies within the Zhengshitang. As one of the big bosses of the Zhengshitang, Qin Hui has great personnel power.
Due to special circumstances, temporary appointments do not need to go through the political hall process.
However, who will take the position in the future will need to go through the personnel appointment process of the Political Affairs Hall.
However, after everything has been settled, there is a high probability that it will only become official temporarily.
This is the strength of Qin Hui. Someone like Cai Mao might not dare to do things as ruthlessly as Qin Hui.
Qin Hui's ruthlessness didn't stop there. The punishment department was changed, which greatly stimulated Qin Hui.
The last bottom line of the rules of the political game in his heart has been torn to pieces.
From his current point of view, his political opponents in the court did not want to give him a way to survive.
In this case, let's play harder!
Hongzhou is the main city of Longxing Prefecture. An ancient name of Longxing Prefecture was Yuzhang County, which was later known as Nanchang.
The core officials of Jiangnan West Road are all in Hongzhou.
Next, officials were brought in one after another, charged with possible crimes, and then sent to trial.
Officials are constantly being appointed temporarily.
In the middle of the night, Qin Hui not only did not go back to rest, but also gave Wang Zhuo an order.
Wang Zhuo went to the Xie family with the arrest warrant from the Yamen, and arrested the Xie family's entire family in the name of colluding with the rebel Chen Yuru.
It is said that some people in the Xie family resisted and half of them were killed.
Xie Zhi was thrown into the cell, and then a group of people came over and beat him severely. After half a beating, they handed him a confession, took Xie Zhi's hand, and pressed it on it.
The cold moon hangs in the sky, and Hongzhou City is destined to be a sleepless night tonight.
Not only the Xie family, the Lu family, the Wang family, the Li family, and the Zhang family are all on Chen Yuru's list.
Since they all have contacts with Chen Yuru, in Qin Hui's concept, are they all rebels and colluding?
Catch them all!
In the middle of the night, Lu Shaohong and Xiruan were preparing to escape from Hongzhou City, but found that all the guards in Hongzhou City had been changed.
All the people he knew before were transferred.
Lu Shaohong was arrested at South City Gate.
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, at dawn, half of the officialdom in Hongzhou City was replaced, and a group of high-profile households were labeled as having contact with the rebel Chen Yuru.
Half of these families died in the middle of the night, either because of conflicts or because the night was too dark, and they died for unknown reasons.
The other half quickly confessed after being imprisoned.
Qin Hui is using a more vicious and worse political method than before to clear obstacles and cultivate his own people.
Hongzhou's core team has now been rebuilt, and the entire Longxing Mansion will be shaken.
No one can stop Qin Hui from implementing the New Deal in Longxing Mansion.
This personnel reorganization is not over yet.
On the same day, Qin Hui ordered the prefects of various prefectures on Jiangnan West Road to be summoned to see him.
Of course, Qin Hui wrote two urgent reports on the 18th, one was sent to the Political Hall and the other was sent to Zhao Guan's house.
On February 28, news of Qin Hui's purge in Hongzhou reached the political hall, causing a great sensation.
Lu Yihao said this: "Even if an official has a problem, he cannot make an independent decision. He should first report it to the capital and have it discussed by the political hall before making a decision!"
Zhao Ding said calmly: "Maybe the incident happened suddenly and there was no time to report it."
Lu Yihao still wanted to give Zhao Ding face. He did not dare to refute Zhao Ding, but he did not continue.
But the people in Jianyuan and Yushitai were furious.
Li Zhuo went to Zhao Guan's house and openly said: Qin Hui is exercising power by excluding dissidents for his own selfish interests!
The censors at the Yushitai also criticized Qin Hui's behavior with words and writings.
