Chapter 333 Empress Wu is here
In the following period, no cases occurred in Bocheng County. Not to mention that there were rumors near the county town, even if there was no thief in the county town, there was no incident of thieves.
This has a lot to do with all the officials in Bocheng County going out and engaging in public security like a lifelong battle. The officials in the county are really scared of being locked up. They are afraid that any problems will arise again. As long as they can get through the Fengshan ceremony, they will be grateful, and some people even don’t want to be officials anymore.
Li Rizhi and the Yanzhou Governor met a few more times and handled the case of Zhen Mengde and Wu Penghui. The entire case was only reported to Xu Jingzong, and did not report it to the Ministry of Justice. Everyone had already made plans and just whitewash the peace!
Li Rizhi went to watch the auspicious tree several times. The road from the city to this big tree has been repaired. The fast project and high quality can really be recorded in the local chronicles. This road has become the best road to be built in Yanzhou within a hundred years.
The Guanxiangtai has not been repaired yet, but from the framework alone, it can be regarded as magnificent and completely repaired according to the royal standards.
Originally, according to Li Rizhi's idea, he was to build a stone platform. When the emperor and the empress arrived, he would stand on the platform and look at the strange tree, and then ask the civil servants to write a few poems to praise him. This was what Li Rizhi thought.
But when he arrived at Eunuch Huang, his idea was really amazing. Not only did he build the platform to a 30-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter-meter
Li Rizhi felt that the Guanxiang platform was really overstated.
Li Rizhi asked Eunuch Huang if he would be impeached by the censor just to look at this big tree and to build the platform into this shape, which would be a waste.
But Eunuch Huang only used one sentence to retort Li Rizhi's questions.
Eunuch Huang said: "We built this platform to make the queen like it, not to make the censors like it. Who is the censor?"
In this way, what else could Li Rizhi say? He could only go back to Bocheng County. He sorted out the household registration and local conditions of Bocheng County every day, and gradually gained a certain understanding of the situation of Bocheng County.
Li Rizhi knew that although he was the acting magistrate of Bocheng County, after the Fengshan Ceremony, Bocheng County would be renamed Qianfeng County, and then he would officially become the magistrate of Qianfeng County.
According to his estimate, he would have to be at least one of the previous positions here before he could be transferred elsewhere. Since he would have to stay here for several years, he would naturally have to clarify the situation in the county so that he could manage it in the future.
Compared with the counties in the Jingji area, Bocheng County is definitely not big, but it is not small in Yanzhou. Whether it is grain output or commercial taxation, it is considered to be medium or higher.
Li Rizhi was very afraid that the governance here would not be good, because people like Zhen Mengde would not care about anything and just live a life of scattering life. They would be able to make Bocheng County a medium-to-top. If he was replaced by him to manage it, but instead of advancing, he would become a medium-to-bottom, wouldn’t that be embarrassing!
Finally, news came from Chang'an that the emperor and Empress Wu had already set off from Chang'an to come to Bocheng County for the Fengshan ceremony, and arrived in Bocheng County around December in winter.
As soon as the news came, the entire Yanzhou area became nervous. All officials from the Yanzhou governor began to work hard. Of course, even if they were lazy, they had to let others see on the surface that they were busy.
In fact, I have been preparing for the Fengshan ceremony for a long time and checked countless times. From a technical perspective, it is basically the case. The main thing I have to worry about is that I am afraid that someone will make trouble. Of course, the "someone" mentioned is not just a loud horse, or a thief, etc.
Instead, be careful if there will be those who are desperate, or those who have been wronged. When the Holy Divine Arrives, they suddenly rushed to the street and shouted for the Holy Divine Arrival, asking the Emperor and the Queen to make the decision to avenge them.
For local officials, this is the real fatal thing, because, first of all, they really cannot control such things, and secondly, once such things happen, no matter whether the local officials handle it properly, they will be unlucky. This kind of thing only has bad results and cannot have good results.
The governor of Yanzhou issued an order to make all counties in the state start to investigate the cases. As long as there are suspicious places in the case, both the plaintiff and the defendant must be controlled so as not to cause trouble.
Of course, what the Yanzhou governor said about handling the case well does not mean that the case is perfectly solved, but that the people and matters involved in the case are not allowed to occur any recurrence during the Fengshan ceremony.
If some people in some cases, whether they are the plaintiff or the defendant, just express cooperation and do not yell during the Fengshan ceremony, then these people can be controlled.
If someone expresses his disagreement or expresses his cooperation, it is very likely that he will not cooperate at that time. Then the governor of Yanzhou directly ordered all of these people to be imprisoned in the prison, so that they could eat well in the prison, and then release them after the Fengshan ceremony.
All the officials on the ground in Yanzhou took action, but in just half a month, all counties, townships and villages in Yanzhou were all singing and dancing. If one word had to be used to describe it, then the word "Peaceful and Prosperous Times" could be used to describe it.
Li Rizhi was naturally the same, but he did not arrest people in the prison, nor did he find any suspicious people who wanted to make trouble when the Holy Driving arrived. Bocheng County was generally peaceful.
Life passed quickly, and the emperor and Empress Wu's sage finally entered the territory of Yanzhou. It was expected to rest in Yanzhou for a day, and then headed towards Bocheng County.
Li Rizhi had already arrived in Yanzhou a few days in advance to wait for the sage. When the emperor and Empress Wu arrived, he was the first person to be called in to see the sage, and the governor of Yanzhou did not line up before him.
Li Rizhi entered the palace that had just been repaired and saw the emperor lying on the dragon couch in the hall and the Queen Wu was sitting.
When the emperor saw Li Rizhi coming in, he sat up tilted and said to Li Rizhi: "Li Aiqing, I am not feeling well. If you have anything to do, report to the queen!"
After pausing, the emperor thought that Li Rizhi was a very close minister after all, so he added: "Thank you for the hard work of Li Aiqing these days."
It is estimated that the emperor could not even remember what official position Li Rizhi is now, but it would be amazing to have such a sentence for him. Not to mention letting him say such things, it would not be easy for other ministers to meet him even if they wanted to see him.
Queen Wu said with a smile: "Give me a seat, Li Aiqing, sit down and talk."
