Lang Jun is coming

Song Yiqing's analysis was naturally on Pei Lian's mind.Not only them, I am afraid that the officials in Miyagi have already expected the cause and effect.

"When the court meeting on New Year's Day, the local officials gathered in the capital, and Wu Shunqin presented the letter, then we will know how this Jiangnan prefect made the local officials dare not swallow a single ingot of tax money."

The Great Court Meeting only happens once a year, and with so many officials from various state capitals coming, it is impossible for them all to be crowded in the Daqing Hall.Therefore, those with low official positions are waiting outside the forbidden gate so that they can be summoned by the officials at any time.

Since Wu Shunqin was in the special position of Jiangnan prefect, the officials must summon him to report his achievements and understand the situation.

Pei Lian's thoughts turned and fell on the chessboard. He only suffered the loss of making moves without thinking.

"Ah Chi can show you his noble hand, let Pei regret it."

Having dealt with Pei Lian many times, Song Yiqing was very aware of this person's temperament.He raised his hand to fight off the sunspots that Pei Lian wanted to take back, very serious.

"Brother Wei Song is not very good at chess."

He leaned on the soft pillow, seriously recalled the past, and said with a narrow smile: "Song has only let children play with mud."

The implication is that if Pei Lian is willing to admit that he is not as good as a child, then he will be allowed to play tricks.

Of course, Pei Lian held an official position and was 22 years old. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he would not lower himself to the status of a child.

The cheating failed, but Pei Lian laughed unconsciously, thinking: If I compare myself to a child, what else do I need to do? I am really too young at that time.

There was no sound on the other side, Song Yiqing only thought that Pei Lian really couldn't hold back his face, and quickly ate a lot of black spots on him, and couldn't help being curious.

"Even though Wu Shunqin is capable, with Jiangnan's temperament in the officialdom, won't he be tripped up?"

The stumbling block he was talking about here was not a trick, but worrying about Wu Shunqin's life.

Jiangnan is far away from the capital, if those people really want to quietly kill a new eunuch, there are too many ways.

Pei Lian stared at the chessboard, trying his best to save his only "half of the country".Hearing this, he suddenly laughed with a deep meaning, and said in a deep voice: "Wu Shunqin was born in Ningzhou, the old capital. Even though Taizong moved the capital to Huaijing in the past, most of the old clan's dignitaries stayed there. And Wu Shunqin is from the lineage of Duke Cheng An .”

Song Yiqing's hand holding the chess piece suddenly paused, then raised his head and asked, "But Wu Cen, Old General Wu?"

"Exactly."

The situation on the chessboard was irreversible, so Pei Lian simply conceded defeat.

In the past, Taizong moved the capital, and the powerful families that had taken root in Ningzhou since the beginning of the dynasty were too large to follow to Huaijing.But as time goes by, their power will inevitably be emptied.Therefore, some vassal kings took the opportunity to rebel under the banner of profiting for the powerful.At a time of crisis, old general Wu led the Wu family army to encircle the rebels in Ningzhou with his old body, forcefully suppressing the rebellion.

Then Taizong Longxin was very happy, and on the spot he named Wu Cen the Duke of Cheng'an, a hereditary official title, and shaded his descendants.

The rebellion of moving the capital was the only rebellion in the Heng Dynasty since the founding of the country, and it was quelled in less than three days.Blood flowed like rivers in Ningzhou city.After this battle, Cheng'an Gong Wu Cen became a household name in the Heng Dynasty, and everyone praised his reputation.It's a pity that Cheng Angong's lineage is getting worse and worse, and he has reached the point of seeking civil servants.

But even so, the family has a large number of people and a good reputation.Those old foxes in the south of the Yangtze River did not dare to touch Wu Shunqin at the risk of angering the people of Heng Dynasty.

"As expected of Ningzhou, the old capital, it's really a place where tiles can hit the rich and powerful."

As long as you know that Wu Shunqin is a descendant of Cheng An Gong, it is not difficult to understand why the officials chose him to go to Jiangnan.

While saying this in a playful manner, Song Yiqing's heart kept emitting a chill.It is said that the king is good at planning, and now he has a deep understanding of it.

Although Ningzhou often suffers from floods, this is one of the reasons for moving the capital.But judging from the gradual decline of the dignitaries in Ningzhou, this is Taizong's real purpose.

The capital of the country was moved to Huaijing, and the old dignitaries were in Ningzhou, far away from the center of government affairs. No matter how deep their roots were, it was inevitable that one generation would not be as good as the next generation.

This is why although the Heng Dynasty had the ancestral precept not to kill civil servants, the civil servants of all dynasties did not dare to do anything wrong.Once relegated to the south by the officials, it is equivalent to having nothing to do with the court.Civil servants who don't know the government are already "dead".

In the name of moving the capital, completely remove the big hidden danger that the Heng Dynasty will be influenced by the aristocratic family.Even if the vassal king rebelled, Taizong liked it.Who wouldn't want to be able to get rid of threats without infamy?Even General Wu Cen was counted among them, and none of them escaped Taizong's palm.

Now the official family is using the little power left by the old clan's dignitaries to make the best use of it, eating it up naked and wiping it all away.Anyone who figured it out would be horrified.

Song Yiqing sighed.

Most of the dignitaries in Ningzhou followed the Taizu to conquer the world, and they contributed more than half of the credit for the establishment of the Heng Dynasty, and now they are inevitably declining day by day.

But even if the officials are so ruthless, they can't make mistakes at all.

Those in power who want to have a stable government always have to sacrifice some people.
