The officials who followed Zhao Yi to Jizhou started from other cities in Yanzhou. The investigations were mainly officials from aristocratic families. The forces between aristocratic families are intertwined. There must be connections between them, and such connections are difficult to make.

Absolute confidentiality was maintained, which gave Zhao Yi an opportunity.

Starting with these officials, more situations can gradually surface.

Sometimes, when investigating a family, it is not necessary to start with the core figures of the family. Even other children of some families have a preliminary understanding of the family's situation.

Through such things, Zhao Yi can gradually find out the problems of the family behind the officials.

Lu Bu is quite satisfied with Zhao Yi's strategy. When the two sides meet up, they will get more information about Yanzhou's officialdom, and more officials will be imprisoned, so that those who violate discipline will have nowhere to go.

As the inspection team drew closer, Yanzhou officials felt tremendous pressure and acted more cautiously, lest some inappropriate behavior would attract the attention of the inspectors.

Yanzhou officials can feel the approaching crisis, especially after the inspection team arrives, they will definitely conduct investigations in secret. Yanzhou officials are still aware of some of the methods used by the inspectors, and in such a situation, it is impossible to completely

put an end to.

If you cannot get away from such things, it will bring about the end of your career.

Not only Changyi City has strengthened its precautions, but also all counties and counties in Yanzhou. The army in the city even patrols outside the city.

This kind of thing is also within the normal scope. Lu Bu is coming soon. If the security work cannot be done well, it will be a dereliction of duty by the military generals. Not only civilian officials but also military generals need to be more cautious when doing things.

.

At critical moments, you must brace yourself and be prepared to respond at any time.

Cheng Biejia, I wonder what you think of the current officialdom in Yanzhou? Chen Gong turned his attention to Cheng Chong and asked.

Cheng Chong was a member of Yanzhou Biejia and had a high prestige in Yanzhou. Cheng Chong was from the Cheng family of Yanzhou. When Cao Cao was in charge of Yanzhou, the Cheng family was very famous in Yanzhou, mainly because Cheng Yu was born in the Cheng family.

In the past, Cheng Yu was an important counselor under Cao Cao, and he made a lot of contributions to Cao Cao's development. What followed was the growth of Cheng Yu's family.

After Cao Cao was defeated, the Cheng family took refuge in Lu Bu and became officials under Lu Bu's rule.

And Cheng Chong is also a very talented person in the Cheng family. Although he is a branch of the Cheng family, he has reached the position of Yanzhou Bijia.

Cheng Chong's promotion in status was not only due to his contribution to the Jin State, but also had the greatest relationship with Cheng Chong's ability.

After hearing this, Cheng Chong thought for a moment and said: Zhou Mu, now that the Holy Emperor is coming to Yanzhou, the officials in Yanzhou are panicking. This situation is actually unfavorable to the development of Yanzhou.

Chen Gong sighed: "How could I not know about this? It's just that some things about Yanzhou have spread to Chang'an. It happens that the Holy Sage is in Jizhou. When the Holy Sage learned about some things about Yanzhou, it would be the strangest thing if he did not come to Yanzhou."

.

There are many officials from aristocratic families in Yanzhou, including Biejia. Biejia must be aware of how these officials behave in ordinary times.

Cheng Chong nodded solemnly to the family officials. It would be difficult to completely give up the past way of living, but what Yanzhou needs most right now is stability.

After the arrival of the Holy Lord, the situation in Yanzhou will definitely be stabilized. Chen Gong said with confidence.

But if this happens, many officials in Yanzhou may be in trouble, Cheng Chong said.

Cheng Chong was naturally aware of Chen Gong's strategy in Yanzhou, and Cheng Chong's ability to reach the other position was related to Chen Gong's promotion. Cheng Chong highly recognized Chen Gong's ability.

Over the years, Cheng Chong has helped Chen Gong stabilize Yanzhou.

Chen Gong sighed: This kind of thing is no longer something you and I can control. The Holy Emperor is dissatisfied with the situation in Yanzhou and will definitely take corresponding actions. It is also appropriate for officials who violate the law to be punished.

After the turmoil in Yanzhou's officialdom, it will take a certain amount of time to restore stability. Cheng Chong felt this.

Chen Gongdao: All this is for the real stability of Yanzhou. Even if the Holy Shang fails to come, I will not sit back and watch the situation in Yanzhou continue.

Cheng Chong nodded. Chen Gong seemed to be cautious when acting, but in fact, he was not. Over the years, many families have fallen into the hands of Chen Gong, and Chen Gong was able to accurately grasp the handle of these officials every time.

Leave these officials speechless.

Because the Forbidden City Chen Palace has a high prestige in Yanzhou, some officials do not dare to go overboard in the slightest when facing Chen Palace. The slow development model of Chen Palace prevents Yanzhou's officialdom from experiencing too much turmoil.

, after cleaning up some officials, ensuring that Yanzhou can develop normally, this is where Chen Gong is most brilliant.

As a state pastor, even in his humble position, he would beat other officials, Cheng Chong said.

After you go back, work harder. With your ability, it will be possible to become the shepherd of a state in the future. Chen Gongdao.

Cheng Chong raised his hands and said: The reason why the humble position exists today is because of the promotion of the state pastor. The humble position will never be forgotten.

You have reached such a position through your own efforts, and it has nothing to do with my promotion. If you don't have enough ability, you will still get down even if you reach such a position. Chen Gong waved his hand.

The promotion of the following officials is extremely cautious. Not only must the official's ability be taken into consideration, but also whether the official is loyal to the Jin State. This is especially true when promoting officials from aristocratic families.

It's even more important.

If something goes wrong after an official is recommended, the official will bear a great responsibility.

The state of Jin tried its best to take precautions when dealing with officials from aristocratic families. This was also the case in other states and counties, because many officials were unwilling to take risks with officials from aristocratic families.

Cheng Chong was very grateful to Chen Gong. It was very difficult for officials from aristocratic families to advance further in the officialdom of the Jin State. It was precisely because of Chen Gong's recommendation that Cheng Chong had to leave.

As for the driving position, as Chen Gong said, Cheng Chong is likely to move to the position of Zhou Mu in the future.
