Chapter 618
Huo Huaiding lowered his eyes.
His family is clear.
Generally, in this situation, what the emperor wants to say is related to Huo Yixiao.
As Chen Zhenghan told, it is thankless to be involved in the "royal father-son relationship".
Huo Huaiding would not say anything about the Fourth Prince, but he would not be able to interfere with Huo Yixiao's affairs.
Who asked the fourth young master to temporarily have the surname "Huo"?
Although, this has been a little longer for a while, it has been almost twenty years in a blink of an eye...
"Emperor," Huo Huaiding spoke carefully, "I feel that Xiao's temperament has been much more relaxed than before, and he knows to bow his head."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Huaiding.
"I went back to my house today and heard that the old lady in the house was very happy. I thought she was thinking about me, but later I realized that it was not the case. She was happy because I came back. Yi Xiao would come to my house and have a meal with her," Huo Huaiding said this and sighed, "You know, Yi Xiao had some knots with the old lady a few years ago."
After hearing this, the emperor was stunned.
Of course he knew something about the past.
Yixiao held it to the Huo family, and he was not unfaithful about the children. With the concubine and Huo Huaiding around, he could understand Yixiao's affairs in the Huo family.
He knew that it was his great-grandmother in the name of Xiao, and that Old Mrs. Jin raised children. Although the old man was old, he had experience in raising children and was very attentive in everything.
This time, you will raise it until you are five years old.
Huo Huaiding said that Old Mrs. Jin was sick and in poor health and could no longer do it himself.
The emperor felt regretful, but age is a topic that people cannot avoid in their entire lives.
Afterwards, when Huo Huaiding came to report to Yixiao's situation, Mrs. Jin rarely appeared in her words.
When Yi Xiao entered the palace, rumors spread everywhere. The emperor was worried that he was getting more and more disgusting. He also heard that he had a gap with Mrs. Jin...
"I thought," the emperor paused and said to Huo Huaiding, "With Xiao's temperament, he had a knot in his heart, which was not so easy to untie."
"Yes, I thought so too," Huo Huaiding replied, "A few years ago, I also thought about reconciling his relationship with the old lady, but it was not successful, but now you see, he let go.
I heard that there is the help of his wife. Of course, what is more important is that when you grow up and mature, you are willing to accept some things you didn’t want to accept before.
With Xiao's heart tightening knots, he can untie it slowly, but he always knows whether the people around him treat him well."
Eunuch Wu followed Huo Huaiding's words and said with a smile: "The young man also said that after the fourth son got married, his personality became more and more stable. Master, please give him some more time..."
The emperor responded "hmm".
When Eunuch Wu sent Huo Huaiding out, the emperor picked up the teacup and drank it.
The entrance is cold, and I didn't change the tea just now.
The emperor frowned and swallowed it, unable to taste it.
On the other side, Huo Huaiding went to Changning Palace, and after paying homage to the concubine, he left the palace gate again, which was almost noon.
After calculating the time, he went to the Ministry of Personnel to find Huo Yixiao.
Huo Yixiao sat on a chair, with thick documents piled up on the desk in front of him.
What he told Zhu Huan and others was to understand the situation of local officials. In fact, what he wanted to know the most was Shu, Fuzhou.
Hearing that Huo Huaiding came to find him, Huo Yixiao walked out.
The two of them exchanged a few simple greetings.
Huo Yixiao invited Huo Huaiding to a clean place, pressed his voice and talked about the situation in Shu.
Huo Huaiding pondered for a while and said, "The Emperor is happy to see it accomplished, but first of all, he can achieve it.
According to what Jiang Xu said, it has been almost twenty years and there has not been much improvement. It is conceivable that local officials have become one of the ropes.
In this case, things are not easy to handle.”
It is not that the inspectors in Beijing bully the weak and fear the strong, and cannot deal with local officials who do not serve the people, but that strong dragons cannot defeat local snakes, and the poisonous snakes are still pretending to be poisonous cauliflower snakes in front of them.
Without evidence that they are corrupt and abused by the law and do not do practical things, how will the Censorate do things?
"You read the assessment documents, how about it?" Huo Huaiding asked.
Huo Yixiao snorted softly: "As you said, a piece of iron plate."
The assessment documents are very beautiful and there is no clue at all.
"The court also had an inspector to Shu, and there was no problem reported before," Huo Huaiding said, "One is that the local area was decorated with peace and pretended too well, and it was concealed by the inspector; the other is that the Shen family was still there at that time and could not move them, so it would be in vain if it was investigated. The Chief Secretary had problems, and I think the Censorate of the Shu area was also a bird of a feather."
Huo Yixiao asked: "The Shen family has collapsed, check it now..."
Huo Huaiding sneered: "The fox pretends to be a tiger's power, and the tiger is gone. How can the fox not hold its tail up? Even if I, or Mr. Chen, go there in person, I may not be able to get anything."
This is different from the three levels of the North.
The imperial court had patrols to the northern border a few years ago, and the high city walls of Dingmen Pass stood there. Who would have thought that a hole would be broken if there was a vulnerable attack?
No one can see it.
This time, they also knew about the problem of the gate closing. Huo Yixiao even told him where to smash it, and then he would get something wrong.
There are many flowers on the surface in Shu, and although there are many problems below, the Censorate has not grasped the actual situation and has no idea how to start.
Even if I go on a trip, I can only see what local officials want them to see.
Huo Huaiding thought carefully and said, "You might as well do this. If you arrange it, I want to meet Jiang Xu."
Huo Yixiao responded.
This meeting was arranged very quickly.
When Jiang Xu saw the famous right deputy censor, he became a little nervous.
"It's not about the test questions to test you," Huo Huaiding smiled, "Relax."
Jiang Xu took a deep breath and smiled: "It's really a study test, but the students are not worried."
Huo Huaiding tugged his hands.
Look, this is a good student, and he has confidence.
But a good student does not mean a good official, and he still needs to be tempered.
Huo Huaiding asked carefully about the officialdom in Fuzhou, not explaining the official positions in front of Fuzhou and Wulong, who is in charge of the affairs, who is close to whom, who is confused about his work, who is smart, how are the people doing food, clothing, housing and transportation?
Jiang Xu could answer some of these questions, but he couldn't answer them all. He was a scholar, but he didn't know that there were so many things in the yamen.
After hearing his reply, Huo Huaiding said, "In fact, if you want to check them, these are extremely important. What is the disadvantage of their work? It is necessary to clearly understand what is the disadvantageous law. Only with the evidence in hand can the local situation be changed."
Jiang Xu clenched his fists.
He has been thinking about whether to return to Shu or stay in Beijing these days.
It is difficult to return to Shu, and stay in the capital. Just like Lord Li, he can change his hometown by learning a lot of skills?
No, as long as those officials and men are still there, they will not be able to change easily.
No destruction or establishment.
And these preliminary ideas became clear and clear after listening to Huo Huaiding's words.
