"Guan Jia, Yang and Lu Ergong have arrived and are waiting for the edict in the corridor!"
"Xuan!"
Yang Ye and Lu Duan entered the palace hand in hand. Under the guidance of the chamberlain, they saw Emperor Liu until they reached the east veranda of the palace. Emperor Liu was lying on his side on a soft couch, holding a memorial in his hand.
I was flipping through the pages, but my attention was obviously not on it, and I didn't seem to be in a good mood.
The two looked at each other and saluted together.
"No need!" Emperor Liu's voice was very calm, but it felt abrupt, interrupting their movements, and stretched his hand to the side: "Sit!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two sat down. Emperor Liu didn't speak for a while. After waiting for a while, Yang Ye stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what your Majesty's instructions are for summoning the ministers and others?"
Finally raising his head, Emperor Liu looked at Yang Lu. He couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and blurted out: "Looking at the current dynasty, you two ministers are the ministers I trust and rely on the most!"
Hearing this, both Yang and Lu couldn't help but be shocked. It's not like Emperor Liu had never said this before, but it felt most sincere today.
Lu Duan still had the same respectful look, bowed and said calmly: "It is my great honor to have the trust of His Majesty!"
Yang Ye's reaction seemed to be a little slow, but after thinking for a moment, he clasped his fists hard and said solemnly: "If your Majesty has any orders, please issue an edict!"
Hearing this, Emperor Liu tapped the corner of his mouth, which was a gratifying reaction, but he ignored Yang Ye. Instead, he looked at Lu Duan, handed the memorial in his hand to Yantuo, and asked him to pass it on: "Take a look!"
After receiving the memorial, Lu Duan flipped through it quickly, his brows furrowed slightly, not in embarrassment, but in confusion. This is a resume, Gaomi County Magistrate, Kang Baozhen.
There were thousands of officials in the Han Dynasty, and the magistrates and magistrates were all Bailihou, which was also the cornerstone position in the bureaucracy of the Han Dynasty. As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Lu Duan’s personal ability and professional quality in official administration were excellent, but let him remember
The resume of every official is unrealistic, not to mention that Gaomi is only a small county in Henan.
However, for Emperor Liu to personally intervene and have such an unusual attitude, there must be some unknown connection. Could there be something wrong? During the reading room, Lu Duan had this thought flashing through his mind, and he became more careful.
Already.
Browsing through it again, Lu Duan still found nothing unusual. From a resume perspective, Kang Baozhen was an "ordinary" official-turned-bureaucrat. His political achievements were not outstanding, but he had rich experience and was old enough, at least from Lu Duan's perspective.
, if this file record is true, then there is no big problem.
However, if there was no problem, Emperor Liu would not be so solemn. While thinking about it, Lu Duan suddenly realized something...
Yesterday, the news about Kang Ning being first sent to prison and then transferred to Dali Temple has gradually spread, and various legend versions have been derived. It is impossible for Lu Duan not to have heard about it.
If these two things are connected together, then there is a lot worth talking about. If there is any unusual relationship between the two Kangs... Thinking of this, the look of concentration between Lu Duan's brows could not help but become a little more intense.
Although Lu Duan and Kang Ning have nothing to do with each other, but they have no social contacts, it does not mean that they have no understanding. At least Kang Ning and the complex chain of interests behind him are aware of it. Kang Ning is involved in many things.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about Prince Yansheng of Pingliang. The news that he had brought people to the Kang Mansion to pay off his debts before his death has spread. A glimpse of one spot reveals the whole story. The water in Kangning is quite muddy.
In addition to representing wealth, Kang's flag also heralds trouble, big trouble, at least in Lu Duan's view. Thinking of Kang Ning, who was arrested by the imperial edict and is still in prison in Dali Temple, Lu Duan seemed to see
Another wave of political trends hit the Han Dynasty. To say that Kang Ning could influence the changes in the situation of the Han Dynasty is to think highly of him, but at a certain point in time, it is still no problem to use it as an introduction to stir up the current situation, and Emperor Liu
The sudden attack is obviously a node.
While Lu Duan frowned and thought, Emperor Liu had already asked: "What do you think of this resume file?"
After hearing the question, Lu Duan glanced at Emperor Liu with interest. Although the old emperor looked very indifferent at this time, in Lu Duan's eyes, he was like a sword that was ready to move, without a scabbard, with a strong spirit and eager to drink blood.
…
According to his own thinking, Lu Duan said conservatively: "As recorded in this chapter, Kang Baozhen is indeed outstanding. He has a solid resume, rich ministry experience, and sufficient basis for promotion. He is the order of a county, which is enough."
"Do you think so?" After hearing what he said, Emperor Liu followed up and asked.
Emperor Liu's tone and eyes revealed a lot of information. Lu Duan also felt it keenly. He bowed in a calm manner and said, "Is there some hidden secret that has not been recorded in this chapter?"
After hearing his answer, Emperor Liu looked at Lu Duan playfully. Apparently, the emperor had already noticed.
There was no pretense, Emperor Liu gave instructions directly with a calm face: "The resume shows that Kang Baozhen was thirty-two years old at the time and had ten years of experience as an official. The results of every Daozhou assessment were excellent, and he was promoted in awards.
This is not something worth making a fuss about. However, I learned another statement from other channels: Yan Kang Baozhen's actual age is only twenty-two.
If so, then it would be interesting. How can a twenty-two-year-old young man have ten years of official experience? Could it be that he has been working in the county government since he was twelve years old? I have another Gan Luo
?”
Emperor Liu's last words were full of irony, and Lu Duan was really frightened. In just a few words, a big plan of forging resumes, deceiving the court, and defrauding the official position was already revealed.
Looking at Emperor Liu's calm and intimidating old face, Lu Duan quickly lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "If this matter is true, there must be serious flaws in it. This is the dereliction of duty on the part of the officials. I have the trust of Your Majesty and entrusted me with this task."
The official sent by Heaven failed to discern clearly, and he is the first to bear the responsibility..."
A series of words made Emperor Liu a little impatient. He waved his hand and said calmly: "You don't have to rush to admit your fault. I didn't come to you to listen to this!"
After hearing what Emperor Liu said, Lu Duan hit the snake with a stick and immediately asked: "Your Majesty, please show me!"
"Hearsay is not trustworthy! Regarding this matter, go and find out for me what is going on!" Emperor Liu said.
In response to this, Lu Duan's heavy heart was slightly relieved. He understood that Emperor Liu gave the officials a chance to self-examine, and it also meant that he could avoid this crisis from affecting him as much as possible. This was also regarded as Emperor Liu's trust.
and love.
"Yes!" While thinking, Lu Duan bowed solemnly.
"Stay back!" After the explanation, Emperor Liu drove them away directly.
After Lu Duan left, Emperor Liu looked at Yang Ye, who had a dull expression and seemed a little uncomfortable: "I'm going to change your job for you. Leave the Ministry of War alone and go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to serve as the censor of Zuodu!"
