Facing He Kun's "affectionate confession", Li Chen was noncommittal.
He just slapped the gift list in his palm one after another, as if he was weighing and considering how to deal with He Kun.
And He Kun didn't dare to speak anymore, even breathing in a controlled voice and rhythm, for fear of offending the prince in front of him.
Time passed slowly in this dull and silent pressure until Chen Tong arrived to break the silence.
"Your Highness, your humble position has been verified."
After Chen Tong entered the warehouse, he bowed to Li Chen first. After receiving Li Chen's nod, he said without even looking at He Kun on the ground: "He Kun has been the weaver of the Suhang Weaving Bureau for more than four years. According to the official
The ministry stipulates that an assessment should be conducted this year to decide whether He Kun will continue to stay in office or be promoted, promoted or demoted."
"A few months ago, Zhou Rui, a fellow countryman of He Kun, was a doctor in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Qing Dynasty Bureau of Civil Affairs at that time. He was a member of the cabinet chain. He was reported by Mr. Xu Changqing of the Ministry of Household Affairs and captured by the Dongchang Jinyiwei. He has now been put to death. But this Zhou
After the fall of Rui, He Kun had no support in the court. Before he came to the office, he transferred the evaluation of him by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and found that his evaluation was inferior. If he followed the rules, he should be demoted and re-appointed."
"As for other information about He Kun's performance during his tenure in Suhang, I have ordered Dongchang's branch in Suhang to send information to the capital. It will probably arrive in a day or two."
After hearing Chen Tong's words, He Kun felt his whole body go cold.
He knew that Dongchang was powerful, and Jinyiwei was known to monitor the world, so there was no information that could not be detected.
But so far, he has never provoked Jin Yiwei, so he has only heard about these rumors.
Now, he could truly see the power of this royal weapon.
How much time did it take from the time I gave the gift to the time when the prince summoned me?
What's more, when he sent the gift, the prince was not in the palace. From the time when the prince knew about him, to when he summoned him, and now, it would not take more than two hours.
But in these two hours, Jin Yiwei had already investigated his situation thoroughly.
With such terrifying intelligence capabilities, how miserable would his death be if he played tricks?
When Li Chen heard this information, he was not particularly surprised.
On the contrary, I think this is normal.
A normal person should know how risky it is to be the first to be the first, or to be the first to send six carts of gifts. As long as there are better choices, he will not take such a big risk.
But He Kun did it anyway.
The reason lies in the information that Jin Yiwei investigated just now.
The old backer had fallen, and the cabinet and the cabinet looked down upon such a small Suzhou-Hangzhou weaving company, so naturally they had to find another way out.
Otherwise, the cabinet would look down on such a fat job, but there would be many people coveting him. This can be seen from the evaluation of him by the Ministry of Personnel.
All evaluations of civil servants are more or less based on the actual situation. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for most officials to obtain a superior rank, and it is also extremely difficult to obtain a rank. Unless a major mistake is made in office, leading to serious consequences, otherwise the inferior rank will generally not be obtained.
of.
But He Kun didn't make any major mistakes, and it didn't lead to serious consequences, but he was just inferior.
He Kun himself must have realized something, so he took the risk and relied on himself.
But... whether this person can be used and how to use it, Li Chen decided to give him another try.
