In the next few days, Lu Su and others began to organize a team, preparing to find a suitable time to intervene in this matter. As for Liu Yan, who directly rushed down with the expert team like Liu Yan, they were directly held back by Li You and others.
Already.
Because according to the analysis of Liu Ye's mental talent, the people involved have already started to connect with each other. Liu Yan rushed down directly. Although he may not be able to find something, there is a high possibility of some accidents, so he found a suitable time to jump in.
Better.
In this case, at least the local bureaucrats will not doubt the intentions of the superiors to inspect, and will operate with the intention of keeping the lid on, and will not behave like a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Of course, in addition to forming an expert team in the past few days, Guo Jia's intelligence organization also began to explore possible severe areas, and the final result was very unfavorable.
Because I didn't pay attention to these things before, I ignored the past. Now, after comparing the previous information and verifying each other, I have already made a lot of speculations. The situation is not too good, but it is not too bad either. There is nothing that Liu Yan is worried about.
It happens, and the scale involved is not small.
Just as Li You estimated, Liu Yan was deceived, and the state and county levels are probably in chaos. According to the information Guo Jia has collected in the past few days, it is inevitable to connect with each other.
"Boran, I don't even know how these bureaucrats who cover up their affairs do what they do." After sending away Li You, Liu Ye and others, Guo Jia rarely worked overtime, and unlike before, this time
Once Guo Jia called his bodyguard Ruan Liangyu over.
Zhao Yan remained silent, already feeling bad when faced with Guo Jia's inquiry.
"You go to prison." Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yan and said slowly after being silent for a long time, "I think you also know the reason, so I won't say it."
Zhao Yan remained silent after hearing this. He lowered his head after a while, but still did not answer.
"Don't force me to ask Liangyu to send you there!" Guo Jia's eyes showed a cold light, and he said it to this extent. If you don't walk up the stairs, will you have to make trouble to the point of ignominy?
"It was indeed me who kicked things off." Zhao Yan sighed, pulled out his chair, sat across from him and replied to Guo Jia, "I never thought that someone would be so bold as to deceive a Jiuqing-level official. I suppressed him.
We are trying to figure out how to solve these things."
"How many years have we worked together?" Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yan with an indescribably complicated expression.
"Including the time we have known each other for twenty or thirty years, the time we have actually worked together has only been since Xuzhou." Zhao Yan was not too afraid. He knew very well what he had done. He was just tying up the pieces and covering up.
Gai did not take the initiative to collude with the bureaucrats, nor did he have the idea of shaking up the political power.
After all, at Zhao Yan's level, someone who can serve as Guo Jia's deputy and monitor the national intelligence network is worthy of a high and powerful position no matter where he is placed. And because of his high and powerful position, he understands Chen Xi and Liu Bei very well.
What a monster.
Yes, in Zhao Yan's eyes, Chen Xi and Liu Bei are real monsters. It is precisely because he followed Cao Cao that Zhao Yan can clearly feel how incomprehensible these two people are, what kind of bureaucracy protects each other, and what kind of centralized state
Bureaucrats at all levels in the county are colluding with each other and forming cliques for personal gain. It is all nonsense to these two people.
Both Liu Bei and Chen Xi have the ability to impose sanctions and even tear apart the entire bureaucracy. The reason why they did not do so is not because the bureaucracy is strong enough, but because they abide by the rules of the game and do not want the struggle at the top to affect the people at the bottom.
.
If Zhao Yan hadn't seen this in person, he wouldn't have believed that the reality could be so outrageous. Therefore, Zhao Yan would not even think about forming a party for personal gain or colluding with each other. As for using the power of the local government to counterpress the Prime Minister of Chang'an,
It's even more nonsense.
In Zhao Yan's words, you idiots don't understand what you are fighting against. The power of your local government and military power come from Liu Bei's enfeoffment, and your political power and economy come from Chen Xi's enfeoffment. You use their power to
Fight and overthrow them? Even if you are rushing to reincarnate, there is no need to do this!
Therefore, from the beginning, Zhao Yan was just covering the lid, using his own resources as much as possible to smooth things over and compile the cornerstones under his feet, but he couldn't stand it. The bureaucrats at the state and county level were too far away from Chen Xi and Liu Bei, and it was difficult to recognize these two people.
What kind of monster is he?
Just like what Chen Xi said to Liu Bei back then, if you are good to the people and soldiers at the bottom, help them get out of poverty and solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, those people will remember you.
But for the middle and upper class, it is meaningless to recognize people by their faces. They will not be moved by you remembering them. The current situation is that for most county, state and county bureaucrats, Chen Xihe
Liu Bei is actually no different from the clay and wood sculptures in the temple.
Anyway, they are far away and cannot control them. This has always been the habit of feudal bureaucracy.
On the contrary, those bureaucrats who are in Chang'an and often see Chen Xi and Liu Bei will not have such thoughts. The more you get to know some people, the more you understand your own insignificance, the more you will not make mistakes. This is Chang'an.
The mentality of senior bureaucrats.
Similarly, this is Chen Xi's confidence in running the entire Han Empire. The people at the lower level have received practical benefits and can feel that the country is clearly developing for the better. They agree that Liu Bei's soldiers can extend to every corner of the empire and ensure that there will be no big disasters at the bottom.
of turmoil.
The top bureaucrats and aristocratic families all understand the level of power they are facing and will not make mistakes. After experiencing the whippings of reality again and again, they also know what to do, and the operations at the top are basically stable.
The problem that can arise in this way is actually the existence of the middle layer.
To be honest, when Li You told Chen Xi what had happened to Liu Yan in a deep voice, Chen Xi was not even surprised, because this kind of thing is almost inevitable.
For thousands of years, after the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, whether it was the aristocratic family represented by the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, the scholar-bureaucrat class in the Song Dynasty, or the landlord class in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, to put it bluntly, isn't it all a virtue?
In essence, what these people in the middle do is not only pretend to be common people when facing the upper class, tamper with public opinion, and represent the voice of the people, but also represent authority and implement tyranny when facing the lower class.
Throughout the dynasties, the top people want to continue to survive, and they know that they have to give the common people a way to survive, but the middle people don't care. Anyway, when dynasties change, the common people will die, and the family and the family will be cut off. Which position should they hold when they look back?
Their position is just that they have to pay taxes as individuals.
What happened this time sounds like an expert tricking the layman, cheating and passing the blame, but in essence, didn’t it fall to the middle-level people to connect with each other, combine their interests, and continue to follow the old path? How big of a thing, which dynasty or generation has not done it?
This one comes out.
"More than twenty years ago." Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yan. They were both from Yingchuan. They had met each other when they were young, so they knew everything about him.
"Write down everything you know and go to jail to wait for Bonin's sentencing." Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yan and said, with a somewhat angry look on his face.
"Bo Ning won't be able to judge me for long." Zhao Yan's expression remained calm, "Although I am covering up this matter, I am not involved in it myself. On the contrary, I am trying to resolve this matter at my level. Send me to
The Imperial Court cannot sentence me to prison."
To a certain extent, Zhao Yan did it perfectly. When he did this, he was mentally prepared and studied in detail how to step on the line and not break the law.
In Zhao Yan's words, the most he could do was to receive a warning, and breaking the law would not count.
"Don't let Wenru talk to you. If you go to the prison, you still have a way to survive. Boning is a lawyer, but Wenru..." Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yan as if he were a fool, and smiled slightly.
He shook his head and said, "You know what he is like."
Li You usually talks about the law, but when the law solves the problem, Li You will solve the problem manually.
"Chen Zichuan is still alive. He will not allow this kind of thing." Zhao Yan looked at Guo Jia and replied, "I still tend to suppress this matter and solve the problem. This matter is not among the county and state officials.
It's their fault, it's human nature for them to hide together and cover up, and they should not be executed."
Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yan, shook his head, and turned around unbearably. Then a sword flew over and pierced Zhao Yan directly from the side and back.
"I asked you to go to jail and write down the cause and effect because you have worked hard for so many years without any merit. I am advising you because you are his fellow villager." Li You walked out from outside.
He came in, holding the scabbard in his hand. As for the sword, it was already nailed to Zhao Yan's body.
At this moment, Zhao Yan's heart and lungs had been hit hard, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and the wound on the front continued to ooze blood. He turned his head and looked at Li You in disbelief.
He thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that Li You would really attack him directly without trial, and in the most core place of the country, the Political Yuan.
"Boran, I'll give you the opportunity." Guo Jia sighed.
From the moment it was determined that Zhao Yan was the protective umbrella, Guo Jia knew that this matter could not be solved. As the country's core intelligence organization for internal monitoring, even if it did not have execution power but only monitoring power, it would not allow anyone to do this.
Act wantonly.
"Li Wenru, you must die a happy death!" Zhao Yan was nailed to the chair and said with a ferocious expression as he looked in the direction of Li You.
"It's okay. I pray that I'd better be out of my mind, otherwise I'll have to deal with you guys one day after I die." Li You seemed to be telling a cold joke, but whether it was Guo Jia or Zhao Yan, they were from the beginning.
There is sincerity in these cold words.
Li You is a lunatic. When others scold you, he is telling the truth.
