Chapter 326 According to the handprint
Li Rizhi called the Chief of Yanzhou and told the Chief of Yanzhou that he had written a letter to Xu Jingzong of the Secretariat of the Secretariat a few days ago and recommended him to become the governor of Yanzhou. Maybe in a few days the Ministry of Personnel will be appointed, and the emperor's imperial edict may also come together.
Of course, this is Li Rizhi's nonsense, but it doesn't matter. As long as people can believe it, it will be successful. Yanzhou Changshi can be regarded as an old man in the officialdom. He has great experience in how to be an official, but if he has the ability to do things, he is just careless. Anyway, his ability to pass the blame must be higher than his ability to do things.
After hearing Li Rizhi's words, the Chief of Yan Prefecture immediately said: "Although Yanzhou is far from Chang'an, it is also an important place, especially the position of governor, which is even more careless!"
Li Rizhi raised his eyebrows and looked at the chief of Yanzhou Yanzhou. You are embarrassed to say this. If the position of the governor is really that important, can you push Zhen Mengde up?
If you can push a waste up and then the court approved it, it means that the court does not pay much attention to this place at all, so don’t boast about Wang Po anymore.
The Chief of Yanzhou, but the head of the Yanzhou Prefecture, continued to whisper, saying: "I am afraid that I can't bear this burden for such an important position, so I want to ask the Supervisor, if I take over the position of the governor of Yanzhou, where can I be assigned to be an official after the Fengshan ceremony ends?"
When Li Rizhi heard this, he was immediately happy. It seemed that he was a sensible person. When it comes to the construction of the project, the Yanzhou Chief Shi was probably not a good official. But when it comes to these twists and turns in the officialdom, he was really a sensible person. Unfortunately, why didn’t he realize that Zhen Mengde was a horse leader, so he simply didn’t think about this!
Li Rizhi said: "Okay, since Lord Changshi is a sensible person, then let's not be confused about the sensible person. I ask you, there is a rumor in Chang'an now that Queen Wu interferes in politics, and rumors are flying all over the sky, and all kinds of rumors are spreading. Now I ask Lord Changshi, what do you think about this?"
When the Yan Prefectural Chief Secretary heard this, he was stunned again. This was so direct. His favorite thing was the twists and turns, and all kinds of hints and speculations. This was in line with his usual temperament of being an official. But now Li Rizhi said it so straightforwardly, which really made him unable to adapt.
But the reaction of the Yan Prefectural Chief Shishi was extremely fast. He was just stunned for a moment and then said: "I think that rumors are rumors and are not credible at all. And I even think that even if they are true, what can I do?
The emperor is the holy emperor and the current Empress is a husband and wife. The husband and wife are one. What can the empress do for the emperor to approve memorials? What does it have to do with others? What do you want others to say randomly?
If anyone dares to say such a rumor in front of me, then the boss of me will never let him go!”
Li Rizhi was too lazy to talk to such an old bureaucrat, and he was full of lies, and no word was true.
He said, "Since Lord Changshi has this idea, it is better to write it down, write it in black and white, press the fingerprints, and then hand it over to Xu Xiang by the official. What do you think?"
The Chief of Yanzhou took a breath and said it was okay, but it was fine no matter what. It would be fine as long as he did not admit it afterwards. But once it was written on paper and pen, it would be a handle in someone else's hands.
Seeing that the Yan Prefectural Chief Hesitant hesitated, Li Rizhi said again: "Sir Changshi wants to be an official elsewhere after the Fengshan Ceremony. The emperor will definitely not ask about such a small matter. If you want to say who can decide, then Xu Xiang must have the final say. Today's words were also asked by Xu Xiang to ask me. How should you decide for yourself!"
Li Rizhi knew that the Chief of Yan Prefecture would definitely surrender, and he would definitely write this so-called guarantee letter. Li Rizhi was dissatisfied with Xu Jingzong's ruthlessness, and despised the shamelessness of the Chief of Yan Prefecture in front of him.
Let Xu Jingzong and Yanzhou Changshi, two stinky fish, rotten shrimps, get together. He is too lazy to deal with such bureaucrats who only know how to be a meticulous.
Sure enough, the expression on the face of the Yanzhou Changshi changed in various ways, and he seemed to have struggled in his heart. Then he actually picked up his pen and wrote the so-called guarantee letter, firmly supported Empress Wu. After writing it, he actually bit his index finger and pressed the bloody handprint.
Li Rizhi looked at the face of the Yanzhou Chief Shi carefully. This person was so shameless and determined, and he seemed to have a bright future. He was just a little older and seemed to be over 60 years old. Even if he was so harsh, he would not be able to become an official for a few years.
Li Rizhi folded the paper and put it in his arms, and said to Yan Governor General Shi: "Do you have any ideas about how Zhen Mengde and Wu Bufu handle it?"
After hearing this, the Chief of Yanzhou Prefecture said that these are all trivial matters, and just leave the matter to him to do it, and ensure that it is done properly.
After the two agreed on all this, they bowed and said goodbye. The Yan Prefect General Secretary brought other Yanzhou officials back to Yanzhou. They could not stay in Bocheng County for too long.
Then Li Rizhi called the county magistrate of Bocheng County and said to him: "You go and call all the landlords and wealthy people in the county. I mean the landlords and wealthy people who paid the money to Wu Bufu, the leader who paid Wu Bufu. If you don't pay the money, you won't use it!"
The county magistrate was stunned when he heard this. He said in surprise: "Master Supervisor, do you want to return the money to them? The officials thought this was absolutely impossible. Even if you return the money to them, you would not be able to shut up. They would still talk nonsense and even guess randomly. At that time, it would be troublesome!"
Li Rizhi asked back: "If you don't return the money to them, do you have any other good ideas? You can shut up!"
County Magistrate Tang Baoen immediately saw sweat on his forehead. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Secretary, the lower official has no good idea. Everything depends on the orders of the Supervisor!"
Li Rizhi snorted and then said, "Call those people. I don't mean to return the money to them. Since the money has been handed over here, it will be charged into the county's warehouse, because their money is already considered dirty silver. I am not considered a crime of a gangster, so I am already very kind. Returning the money to them is a daydream, and of course I can't tell them this!
Just tell them that I have a way to let them meet the saint and get praise from the emperor and the empress, so don’t say much else!”
Tang Baoen really couldn't think of any good way Li Rizhi would have, but since Li Rizhi came from Chang'an, there must be a way to let the landlords and wealthy people in the county truly see the emperor and the empress?
