Chapter 1256 Summoned
"Next, let's call them one by one."

Su Ziji spoke leisurely, and then said to Wen Xunpeng: "Not only are the petty officials checking accounts, but the officials must also be mobilized—let Jiang Shen and Cao Zhi come in, and I must summon them and let them also mobilize. "

The "they" referred to here naturally refers to court officials like Jiang Shen and Cao Zhi.

"Yes!" Wen Xunpeng bowed calmly, and said: "Jiang Shen and Cao Zhi have always stayed out of things, and I'm afraid they may not be dedicated."

This kind of strife between the emperor and the grandson is extremely dangerous, and it is easy to die. Not all officials are willing to get involved.

In fact, not one out of ten people is willing to jump into this pit of fire.

It's just that many people are originally "direct descendants", so naturally they have to get involved.

It is reasonable for Jiang Shen and Cao Zhi to be afraid of being involved in such strife. Su Ziji smiled: "They naturally have their difficulties, but we also have ours."

"Yes, they have no personal favors and righteousness with Gu, but they have an official relationship with Gu."

"The solitary is investigating the case. They are the attendants. It is their duty to share the worries and labors for the solitary as a matter of course."

"Many people think that Gu should act in secret. In fact, this is wrong. Gu Ben is ordered to investigate the case, whether it is summoning county officials or investigating accounts and files, it is aboveboard."

"Those who don't obey the metaphorical order, let's not talk about it as disobedience to the orphan. In official terms, it is disobedience to public order, which can be punished for the crime of treason."

"As for doing lonely official business, what others think of them is their business."

Wen Xunpeng thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

Yes, many people said that it is right to stand in line in the officialdom, but the premise is that this is not a direct relationship between superiors and subordinates.

It's a direct superior-subordinate relationship. With one order, even if he is asked to kill his benefactor, as long as there is no problem with the procedure, he has no choice but to kill him.

Otherwise, he could be immediately dismissed from his post and imprisoned or even directly executed by military law.

Therefore, in order to govern people, the first thing is to get a direct superior-subordinate relationship. Once established, you can do whatever you want.

Jiang Shen and Cao Zhi are the attendants of the direct imperial envoy, and they have a clear superior-subordinate relationship. If they want to stay out of the matter, they are actually talking in their dreams, unless the grandson can't figure it out.

But would Taisun not understand?

Wen Xunpeng responded, walked a few steps, and conveyed Taisun's meaning to people outside.

Naturally, there is no need for Wen Xunpeng to yell in person, someone is ordered to yell.

Jiang Shen and Cao Zhi were patrolling the boats, looking at them one by one, but the core was two boats, one was for Taisun’s accommodation, and the other was for checking accounts. The abacus crackled, and he didn't even lift his head.

"The grandson has also checked the accounts!" Jiang was deeply moved, but when he turned around, he saw that Cao Zhi's expression was not right, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Cao Zhi was about to answer, when he heard a small official rushing over, he bowed and said, "My lords, your grandson has summoned you."

"Go ahead, we'll be there right away." Cao Zhi said, and after speaking, he was startled, looked at the surging river, and smiled wryly: "If you're really afraid, you can come here."

Although Jiang Shen has little experience, he is actually a very smart person. After thinking about it, he lowered his voice and asked, "You mean, the grandson has an errand for us? Isn't this normal?"

"It's normal, but if we get involved in this errand, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay on the shore." Cao Zhi smiled wryly. He had hoped that the grandson would be less involved in official affairs, but he didn't think of this, and let himself and others stay out of the way. But look now, it's gone.

"But just doing business, doesn't it count as taking refuge in your grandson?" Jiang Shen understood, couldn't help shivering, took a deep breath, and said after a while.

The two had already boarded the designated boat, and Cao Zhi's voice was so low that he could hardly hear him: "But would others think so?"

After entering the boat, the abacus crackled louder like heavy rain, and saw a small official finish the calculation, and someone checked it, put a small baking paint tube in there, sealed it, went to the cabinet again, and took out a small tube with a rustle. Bunch of keys to open the cabinet and put it in.

"There are two schools in politics!" The two were silent, and the imperial envoy was divided into three groups, one group was of course myself and others, the other group was Zhang Dai, and the third group was the grandson.

Of course, it must be said that there is still a group of regular guards, but they are guards for supervision and protection. They will not interfere in this official business, but in fact they cannot be negligent.

Originally, compared to Zhang Dai, the deputy imperial envoy, Taisun would appear to be a lot more low-key.

Although everyone who should be seen has been seen, and official documents should be received, but in terms of momentum, I always feel that he is far inferior to Zhang Dai.

However, once Zhang Dai sealed off the granary, Taisun's rhythm didn't seem to change much, but it felt like it changed immediately.

The two didn't have a good impression of Zhang Dai. They felt that Zhang Dai really didn't know how to be a man.

But now this change feels so subtle that it makes people tremble. It might not be as good as before. Only then did they think that the two had arrived in the hall and stood still to salute: "Cao Zhi (Jiang Shen), the minister, pays his respects to the grandson."

"Come in!"

The cabin was dark, even in the daytime, candles were lit, and after a closer look, he saw Taisun sitting on the main desk, with a book next to it, and Wen Xunpeng writing something with a pen.

The two bowed again.

"You don't need to be too polite." Taisun wore a sky-blue silk robe, with sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes, elegant and handsome, and asked them to get up, but he didn't immediately say what he wanted them to do, but said to Wen Xunpeng: "I will raise the Gufang." people, write it down."

"Yes." Wen Xunpeng responded, picked up the pen and wrote, recalling while writing, and it seemed that he had passed the anger with his grandson.

Taisun then turned his face away again: "Gu is ordered to investigate the case, and the emperor places high hopes on it. No matter what Zhang Dai does, he is very diligent, and Gu can't be careless."

"Pepsi is the first to ask questions. Guyi will give you a list. If you want to summon them, you will make overall arrangements for this matter."

Jiang Shen and Cao Zhi were shocked when they heard this.

Summon people?
Has Taisun been summoning people one after another before?

Could it be that the person to be summoned this time is not someone he has met before?

Or someone who has already met and wants to meet again?
The two couldn't tell which category Taisun wanted to meet for a while, but Taisun said so and handed over the matter to them, which was enough to show that this matter was normal, at least it didn't need to be hidden from anyone.

"Yes!" The two waited respectfully for the list.

Although the two felt that the grandson would not let them arrange to meet someone they couldn't meet, in essence, no matter who they met, they had no room to comment.

After a while, Wen Xunpeng finished writing the name of the confession, put the pen down, and handed over the paper with both hands.

Su Ziji took a look and nodded slightly.

Jiang Shen took a step forward and took the list first. After seeing it, he immediately let go of most of his concerns.

The names on this piece of paper are all the chief officials of the counties and counties, as well as the granary officials. Maybe, Taisun just wants to meet these people and ask them about the situation of the granary?

This is also a very normal process. Even ordinary people will first ask the relevant personnel when handling affairs.

Jiang Shen thought it was normal, but Cao Zhi only took one look, and his heart stopped, but the grandson was in front of him, but he kept his face, and only raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Shen.

Jiang Shen is still too young, the names on the list are not a big problem, but the order and scale of the summons are a big problem.
