Chapter 965 Eye-Catching
On the third day of the seventh month, Shen Hao withdrew from the Imperial City Commander's Yamen to Fengri City. However, the case is not yet closed, and a part of the manpower is still left in the commander's yamen, but it is not an investigation, but a detention.
In the case of the Black Flag Camp, independence is still needed, so even though Shen Hao withdrew to Fengricheng to sit in the city first due to official business, serious offenders like Ye Lansheng were still detained in the dungeon of the commander's yamen. First, the command made the dungeon of the yamen safe enough, and second, it also avoided the inconvenience of criminals being transferred. They will keep watching the case until the case is closed, and the criminals will not be able to decide whether they are dead or alive after the results of the handling are issued by the higher authorities.
Although this time took more than a month, it didn't seem to be long, but the turmoil caused in the imperial city can be said to be shocking and the people have not dissipated.
Of the six ministries of the Kingdom, except for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, which were almost unscathed in this turmoil, the other four were seriously injured. The four ministers including Ma Xuanlin, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the three left servants of the four departments all entered the dungeon. Now the three original right servants are in charge of daily affairs, and the remaining one is presided over by the left servant who escaped from death. People in these yamen are even more panic-stricken, and no one knows whether they will be involved.
come out alive?
Do you think everyone is so lucky? So many people went in this time, and even the handymen from every household went in. Where did they come out? Only the Zuo Shilang who was so frightened before, now shiveringly doesn't mention anything about the dungeon, and doesn't tell anyone who asks.
However, when Shen Hao, a mysterious figure who made countless people in the imperial city curious, pondering, hating, and surprised, left and returned to Fengri City, the atmosphere in the imperial city obviously dropped a lot, and even the upper-class gatherings that were almost forbidden before It started again, and each of them couldn't wait to start communicating about the news they got. I hope everyone can analyze and analyze whether the turmoil is over like this.
The results of the analysis were not definite, but everyone could feel that the tense atmosphere in the imperial city began to drop rapidly. The most direct evidence is those black-armored guards, which are completely invisible on the street now. There is no news of the dispatch of the forbidden army in various places.
"Huh!" Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
The dignified leftist, who has been in the digits for ten years, how wide is the relationship and network that has been buried? If we really want to follow the previous statement of "forming a party for personal gain", more than half of the officials inside and outside the imperial city can't stand the investigation. In other words, whoever Shen Hao evil star wants to die with the handle of the knife is basically guaranteed to die. This feeling of having a knife hanging around his neck is really uncomfortable, so that Xuan Qingwei's internal purges are in full swing, but no one dares to jump out to intervene.
I hope that evil star will not come to the imperial city again after returning to Fengsun City this time, it is unlucky for the whole person.
Shen Hao was very aware of the reaction his leaving brought to the entire imperial city, but this was exactly what he did on purpose. As for Xuan Qingwei, the people below are being purged internally. It would not be an exaggeration to say that everyone is frightened by the viciousness of the Black Flag Camp and clenches their feet tightly. They have no intention of paying attention to the changes in the imperial city. And Xuan Qingwei's high-level officials were either pretending to be deaf and dumb like Jiang Cheng, or they were in step with Shen Hao's long-awaited Qi like Pang Ban.
As for the emperor, he was also able to understand Shen Hao's actions, and even took the initiative to chat about the progress of Ye Lansheng's case at the court meeting and expressed his satisfaction.
The emperor is satisfied, does it mean that this matter is really coming to an end?
If so, then it's... eye-catching!
Eye-catching? What is eye-catching? Naturally, there are so many high positions that will be vacated once the Ye Lansheng case is settled. From the fourth rank, from the third rank, from the third rank, and even from the second rank! Who will sit in these high positions?
Birds can fly only when the sky is high, and fish can only leap when the sea is wide!
Who wouldn't want to sit in a higher position with greater power? Especially civil servants. It is extremely difficult for civil servants to get meritorious service. Basically, they rely on their own climbing in the official career to slowly seek some credit. If they are lucky, they will be rewarded with some meritorious service. .
Therefore, the competition within the civil service is far more fierce than that of the military. To put it bluntly, it is not too much to replace "competition" with "difference".
In the past, among the civil servants, there was at least a group of big figures headed by Ye Lansheng in the middle of the scene, and the competition below was basically carried out under their permission and control. Although most of them were recommended "insiders", there was still a mouthful of soup for others Drink, barely make the civil servants' own promotions so that they can still be seen.
But now that Ye Lansheng has fallen, almost all the big bosses who followed him are gone. The power vacuum is not only full of opportunities, but also more ferocious undercurrents.
There is no need to think about the position of the left minister, it is for the current right minister Cao Guobang. And after Cao Guobang was promoted to the left prime minister, who will come from the right prime minister, the golden pit for the elderly? Who will come for the other four ministers and the three ministers?
So after Shen Hao left the imperial city, there was a brief period of calm in the imperial city, and then there was another undercurrent. They tried their best to get those vacant positions as much as possible.
As soon as he returned to his home in Fengri City, Shen Hao had two days of leisure, but he could not be completely free. The things in his hands were on the one hand, and there was another private matter that had been agreed before that needed to be fulfilled, that is, his It is necessary to go back to the "hometown", to meet the "family members" who were "hardly found", and to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors.
Shen Hao did not intend to go alone to Xinliang City this time. First of all, his current status does not allow him to choose "excessively low-key", otherwise it will arouse suspicion from others. So as early as June, Shen Hao asked the housekeeper Hu Tian to discuss this matter. Now Hu Tian meant that he was ready, and it was up to Shen Hao to set a time to set off.
"Really need such a big ostentation?" Shen Hao sat in the main room holding the gift list prepared by Hu Tian and the arrangement of the ceremonial motorcade, a little speechless. There are more than ten carts of gifts alone, and the guard of honor in the yamen is also counted. There may be a team of more than a hundred people.
Is it too exaggerated?
Hu Tian seemed to have expected that the main family would say this, so he explained with a smile: "Master Shen, these are all necessary. The gifts are arranged according to the population of your hometown, and there are rules for the category and quantity. You have to follow the rules, if there is less, and it doesn't match your current status, you will be laughed at.
The same goes for guards of honor. Guochao has a charter that allows officials to "return home in fine clothes", and the guard of honor used is also suitable for your current official position. This is a card, not only for you, but also for the people in your hometown."
Hu Tian was far more aware of these rules than Shen Hao, and after a chatter, Shen Hao had nothing to say except nodding his head.
"That's it. Get ready and leave tomorrow morning."
