Although the secrecy law of the Kingdom has not been specifically implemented and punished, because it is a law that involves both punishment and moral evaluation, it is relatively strictly enforced in the Kingdom.
As courtiers, no one wants to have a reputation for being lax in speaking.
Therefore, even though the cabinet meeting has decided to investigate the Langzhou track, there is still no rumor in the court.
However, it was published as an internal reference or forwarded to the Chengdu Prefecture Newspaper's article...～
Since its inception, Internal Reference has been the vane of surveillance cases, and this is also a matter of orbital jurisdiction and differences between local and imperial courts.
From the day the internal reference was published, courtiers began to pay attention to the progress of the case. As for private exchanges and communication, it became even more intensive.
"How to check?"
Li Chang, the chief inspector of the Chengdu Prefecture, was transferred from the original Yushitai to the position of inspector. He could be regarded as entering the ranks of high-ranking officials in the dynasty. But this matter really put him in a difficult position.
He is also from a well-established family, the kind of person who has received several Jinshi qualifications in one discipline. Although he has been trained in the martial arts hall, he has some deep-rooted views that conflict with the training teachings, and he is also entangled.
Therefore, when the order from the General Supervisory Office arrived in Chengdu Prefecture, he was a little at a loss as to what to do.
When the supervisory office intervenes, it means a case is filed, and the content of the internal reference publication must be investigated.
Another point is that the cabinet in charge of Chengdu Prefecture is Zhang Fangping. It is a firecracker that explodes at the first sign. Although Li Chang knows that Zhang Fangping has no entanglements in Langzhou orbit, he heard that when Zhang Fangping was serving in Chengdu Prefecture, he had no influence on Langzhou.
The Chen family in Zhouzhou has many caretakers.
Li Chang was unable to determine Zhang Fangping's position...
In fact, the Chen family is no longer the situation it once was when there were four Jinshi and two No. 1 scholars in one discipline.
At that time, Chen Shenghua's three sons passed away, leaving his fourth son to guard the ancestral land. Today's Langzhou is also the result of the family business that was created by the four sons.
Blessed by the blessings of his elders, he has lived a good life over the years, but he has not returned to the glory of his ancestors. However, it is undeniable that the influence of the Chen family's legacy in Langzhou is undeniable. After all, he is a fourth-level Jinshi.
There are two champions and two prime ministers, and even the favor of the imperial court has allowed his family to inherit the reputation of being officials for generations.
The third generation of Chen Shenghua, including sons and daughters, has more than 20 officials in the court, but they have not entered into political affairs. In other words, the highest level is no more than the sixth-grade Zhongzhou judge. It is said that his family does not fully understand the current governance of the Holy Emperor.
The concept also makes sense.
"This supervisory investigation comes from bad actors."
"So what? The problem of the national and regional tracks is not mine. Besides, we are not the only ones who benefit from the track in Langzhou. The governor of Chengdu also has a share."
"How about going to Fu Zun's house to find out the news?"
"It's useless. The supervisory office is not under the control of the government."
"Oh... you are the target of public criticism! Yesterday I went to the Supervisory Office. People who are usually brothers and sisters can't even knock on the door now."
"Will the court take action against our family?"
"The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad. If the imperial court starts from our house, the tracks of all the local and state capitals in the country will have to follow the imperial court's wishes! I don't believe that the imperial court dares to risk the disapproval of the world. There are many discerning people in the imperial court."
"Then... let's see? Or should we take the lead?"
"Let's wait and see. They've already taken the lead, so there's no need to charge."
"How will the supervisory office investigate?"
"How else can we check? Is it possible that we can still come to the house? I'm sorry that they don't dare! There is no precedent for the country to confiscate a family and exterminate a clan! All the scholars in the court are watching!"
"Why don't we contact some...the disciples and old officials of our ancestors and fathers? No one in Shu dares to look down upon them."
"Inappropriate! You can't do anything that openly defies the imperial court. The imperial court did not confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, but if it is labeled as a clique and rebellion, it will never end well."
"Actually, even if you implement the imperial court's tariff standards, you can still make money from the track."
This should be the most correct thing to say, but it is not the most pleasing to the ear. It’s hard to give up good money! However, this sentence was still reflected in the whole family’s discussions. For a while, there was no more noise and everyone calmed down to think about it.
"Let's do this for now, let's see and then talk."
Chen Qi, as the current head of the Chen family, has spoken. This is what he said, but if this is implemented according to the imperial court's billing standards and Langzhou's track, I don't know how many years it will take to earn it back.
This is not a main line. It does not have that much transportation volume. Coupled with the deficiencies in management, the operating costs are simply incomparable with the imperial main line. However, the stakeholders related to the Langzhou Railway cannot pay less...
·After all, the Chen family doesn’t dominate everything in Langzhou.
The clan members all had official duties, so they took advantage of Xiu Mu's time to sit down and talk together to give everyone a heads up. In Chen Qi's heart, he also preferred to wait for the results of the investigation.
The Chen family's behavior in Langzhou's orbit is not an exception to the rule of the state. He believes that ministers and ministers who have the same interests will not stand idly by in this matter. And even if the official family has great prestige, it will not offend the public. It's nothing more than that.
It's just about being the first person. Once this matter is over, the benefits of being the first person will also be huge... Favors are sometimes more valuable than money. If your family is exposed to thunder, your ministers and servants will naturally appreciate it.
.
This is the reality of the dynasty, and it is also the deep-rooted understanding of the Song Dynasty. It is correct to say that the dynasty has no aristocratic families, but there is a gentry class in the dynasty. In the perception of some or most gentry, this class is to a certain extent
Those who share the same hatred will be the same even if they meet the royal family.
This is also where Li Chang is struggling now.
"How to check? What to check?"
Li Chang summoned the supervisory Yamen officials from Chengdu Fulu to discuss the matter.
"The general government has ordered that an investigation must be carried out."
This is nonsense!
"The duty of the Supervisory Yamen is to implement the edicts to the letter against all illegal activities of the country. Being timid is not what we, the Supervisory Officers, should do."
Because Fu Bi had never served in the Chengdu Prefecture, and because Fu Bi was in the cabinet, after joining the Supervisory Yamen, Fu Shaolong worked in the Chengdu Prefecture and did not go to counties. In response to this matter, he had intended to get his father's letter, considering that
Due to the duties of the inspector, he gave up the idea.
Although Fu Shaolong's words were of little use, they gave Li Chang an idea. Also, the supervisory office was only responsible for investigation and did not need to impose punishment. Since there was an order from the top, they Chengdu government only needed to investigate.
"Colleagues, this Langzhou rail incident should be the incident that attracts the most attention from the country and the DPRK at the moment. As the Supervisory Office of Chengdu Prefecture, this time is a test."
"I believe that you all have a clear understanding of the issues involved in this matter. Therefore, this time, our Chengdu Supervisory Office must strictly implement the relevant laws and regulations of the country. During the investigation, we must not deviate from the rules, violate the rules, or use anything beyond the authorization of the law."
means."
"The investigation must be thorough and the procedures must be legal. To investigate the true circumstances of the incident, there must be no beginning or end that could be criticized."
Li Chang set the tone for this investigation and directly arranged the personnel involved in the investigation... focusing on the Chengdu Road Supervisory Office, allowing supervisors from all counties and counties in Chengdu Fulu to participate, and Li Chang selected
The staff are all officials who have the aristocratic following!
Isn't it just taking advantage of the situation? Let's take advantage of it too.
