Chapter 73 Local Response

In the back yamen of Henan Prefecture, Li Ruogu put the letter in his hand on the table in front of him, frowned and told Yang on the other side: "This king's absentee can be involved in a lawsuit for life just by going down to patrol the river. It's really outrageous! You can take charge of Caoxian on the West Road of Jingxi and tell me what to do."

Yang Gao thought about it and replied carefully: "Longtu, Wang Yan is the new deputy envoy of the Ministry of Revenue. The court has high hopes. Besides, the blame for this matter is not on him, but he just happened to be involved. We should not be too strict. We should report it according to the facts. The Censorate's last chapter impeached him as an official inappropriate officialdom. What should we do depends on the Censor's intention."

Li Ruogu was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and shook his head and said, "He caused trouble on Jingxi Road. Although the matter was not under my rule, the left-behind department had its own censorship and could not leave it alone. In this way, you write to impeach yourself in the name of the Transportation Commission. I will let Xitai impeach him here."

Yang Zhao replied: "It's so good."

Although Yang Gao was the transshipment commander and was in charge of all the officials of Jingxi Road, he could actually be regarded as the superior of all the prefectures and counties of Jingxi Road, the Henan Prefecture is an exception. According to convention, the Henan Prefecture also serves as the Left-behind Office of the Xijing, and is second only to the Kaifeng Prefecture among the leaders of the world, and his political status is higher than that of the Kaifeng Prefecture. The Henan Prefecture's decree is the same as the highest-level ministers such as the prime minister, the Privy Council, and the Jiedushi. The status is under the Privy Council and above the Jiedushi. This is not something that a transshipment commander can control casually.

The remaining officials had a Censorate. Although he became increasingly formal and had no specific responsibilities since Emperor Taizong, there was no clear edict saying that the Censorate of the Xijing should not be taken care of. This is also the reason why Zhang Dayou also wrote to Henan Prefecture in addition to writing his superior, Mengzhou Prefect Li Di, also wrote to Henan Prefecture. In the name of the Censorate of the Xijing, Li Ruogu could directly impeach Wang Yan, and doing so was within his responsibilities.

The yamen of the Jingxi Road Transportation Office is in Luoyang City, just like Henan Prefecture. Yang Gao and Li Ruogu had many contacts. Once Zhang Dayou got his letter, he brought him to find Li Ruogu.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Ruogu said again: "By the way, Xu Ping, who came out to patrol the river, is the official commander. Why didn't he see him say anything? We should also see what he said about such a big thing."

Yang Qiao was cautious because the matter involved Xu Ping. Before coming to Jingxi Road, he was in the Sansi Department, and was considered Xu Ping's subordinate. He was recommended by Xu Ping as a transfer envoy, and he was jointly and severally responsible. He had heard rumors about Xu Ping and Wang Yan's disagreement, but he was afraid that his letter would cause criticism, so he came to Li Ruogu.

Seeing Li Ruogu ask, Yang told: "Xu Waijian also has books, but he said that he was not well-careful, which caused Deputy Envoy Wang to cause such a disaster. He lost his supervision and wrote to the Censorate to impeach himself, but nothing else said."

"Well, I understand." Li Ruogu nodded, "That's it. I'll ask Xijing to stay in Taiwan to write a letter with you to impeach Wang Yan. If such a thing happens, this Wang Yan is really unreasonable!"

The current Censor Zhongcheng is Li Ruogu's old friend Han Yi, and his weight is heavier than others.

At the same time, in Mengzhou Houya, Li Di sat lazily on the chair in the pavilion, looking at the book from Zhang Dayou, the magistrate of Sishui, and read it several times before he called a follower and asked, "Is Parliament Li Tong still in Heyin County? How is the matter dealing with it?"

The entourage replied, "My husband, I heard from the people sent back by the magistrate that Heyin is difficult and I have to stay for a few more days."

Li Di put the letter in his hand on the table and asked casually: "How many more days will the people sent by Jia Changling from the Execution Department go to Mengzhou? For the gambling case in Heyin County, have you written some days?"

"It will take about two or three days to arrive when we return to my husband and calculate the mileage."

"It's really troublesome! Send someone to urge you to come and let people come! Also, Xingwen Examination Department will send information about Sishui County and ask them to send people to trial the case. If no one is sent, let the nearby prefectures send officials here. Judge Li Tong has been busy recently and has no time to take care of it. The case involves ministers in the court, so it's impossible to wait for a moment! Remember to use my seal to alert Jia Changling!"

The follower agreed and left and handled it.

In principle, the division of departments at the route level cannot be located in the same city. Specifically for Jingxi Road, generally speaking, the Transportation Envoy Department is in Luoyang City, Henan Prefecture, the Execution Envoy Department is in Dengzhou, and the Pacification Envoy Department is in Xuzhou. The military road chiefs, such as the Pacification Envoy, usually serve as the chief of the prefecture where they are located. Because of the responsibilities of supervising the officials of the route, they cannot serve as the local chiefs, in order to prevent the situation of supervising themselves. Only in special circumstances, if there is a temporary vacancy in the Xijing Left-behind Department, will the deputy envoy of the transfer of Jingxi Road be temporarily taken and served as the agent, but it is not considered a formal official.

The Trinity Criminal Prison was in Luoyang City for a period of time, but because it did not conform to the principle of division and governance of each department, it was finally moved to Dengzhou. Dengzhou is located in the south of Jingxi Road and is blocked from the north, which is inconvenient for transportation. Most of the Trinity Criminal Prison was inspected in various states, so it was quite inconvenient for communication. After so many days, the officials sent there to participate in the trial of the Heyin Ju gambling case had not yet arrived, and completely entangled the Mengzhou Tongshou Li Shen there.

Li Di was sentenced to Mengzhou as the prime minister, and he had no reason to try any case, and it was involved in Wang Yan. It was not appropriate to ask the provincial verdict to take the lead in the trial, so he simply pushed the case out. Either Henan Prefecture or Zhengzhou sent someone to the trial, but Mengzhou was not going to be in charge any longer.

With his status here, Chen Yaozuo and Li Di from Zhengzhou gave him some face. Li Ruogu from Henan Prefecture was a junior in his eyes and was not qualified to oppose his arrangements.

This time, the main areas of the river patrol were in Mengzhou. How could Li Di not know the conflict between Xu Ping and Wang Yan? Li Di is straightforward. He does not like Xu Ping, but he hates Wang Yan even more.

At most, Xu Ping could only be considered a young and frivolous man, and he was not very steady in his work. Wang Yan was just making trouble. He went down to patrol the rivers and did not do his job every day. Now he was involved in a life lawsuit, throwing away all the face of the court.

Therefore, the people from the Criminal Department must be tried with the neighboring prefectures. Mengzhou is here to watch. Whoever dares to take the blame with Wang Yan must be careful to take the blame with Wang Yan.

The three prefectures involved in this section of the river are Zhengzhou Mengzhou Henan Prefecture. There is no fuel-efficient official. Li Di was once the imperial teacher and twice served as prime minister. He was at the same level as King Lu Yijian. Chen Yaozuo was first appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor and then served as the chief official to get to know Zhengzhou. He was also at the level of quasi-prime minister. Li Ruogu, who had the lowest status, was also the direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, and was also in charge of the Xijing Left-behind Office, and his political status was equivalent to that of the magistrate.

Wang Yan had an accident at the junction of these three states, which was extremely unlucky.
