Chapter 286: Deputy Envoy Guo
Looking at the people in front of him, he was silent for a long time, and Huang Qiong finally shook his head and said: "You go and tell them that the Henan Road pacification envoy and the new Zhengzhou prefect will arrive in this day or two." Let them leave all the papers first, and this king will urge the Henan Road pacification envoy and the new Zhengzhou prefect to avenge them as soon as possible. ”
"Besides, let the servants not drive them out by force, but persuade them to leave. If they hurt the people, they are the only ones who ask. Also, if you immediately send someone to secretly investigate, how will these people know that this king has arrived in Zhengzhou so quickly. I'm afraid it's not that simple. This is clearly someone who wants to take advantage of the chaos and make a little difference. ”
Hearing Huang Qiong's order, the deputy envoy Guo did not move, but bowed down and said, "Lord Wang, there is no need to visit this." After the self-army recovered Zhengzhou, these people rushed here from Sixiang and have been waiting for you in the yamen of the Zhengzhou prefect for two days. If it weren't for the last two days to arrange for people to give porridge, it is estimated that many people would have fallen. Alas, these people have been ruined and miserable in the past few years. ”
"But Lord Wang, you don't have to worry about these errands, they are all old officials, and they all have a number. You see, although the whip in their hands is wielding, it is only thrown over the heads of the people, and it does not fall on the head of the man. Moreover, Zhengzhou is not as good as in the past, and there are some things that they dare not do too much. ”
"Before Mengjin set off, you repeatedly told you not to disturb the people, and you will not dare to forget it for a moment. On the day of the recovery of Zhengzhou, the last general ordered the troops to only enter the original barracks and not to occupy civilian houses. If anyone violates the king's edict, there will be no forgiveness. It's just that there are no people who are proficient in civil affairs among the generals and the army, so they can only use these old officials as a last resort. ”
However, the last general also told them that if there is any act of disturbance to the people, it will be dealt with by military law. At the same time, the last general also wrote the prince's ten killing orders into a proclamation and promulgated it to the public. And inform the people in the city that if the sergeants of the cavalry battalion disturb the people, they can directly go to the Yamen of the former Zhengzhou soldiers and horses stationed at the end of the general to complain. These people came to complain, presumably caused by the notice of the last general. ”
After listening to the explanation of the deputy envoy Guo, Huang Qiong pondered for a while and said: "Since the pacification envoy of Henan Road and the new prefect of Zhengzhou have arrived in half a day, it is not good for this king to see these people now. Send for all the papers in the hands of the people, and say that the king will do as he sees fit. If the people still refuse to disperse, you must make arrangements for it, and there must be no such thing as someone dying of cold and starvation. ”
"This king has seen that there are many strong men among these people, and if one of them is not handled well, I am afraid that there will be trouble. Remember, you can't let them eat too much and you can't go hungry. You only need to make sure that the chopsticks do not fall down, and the scarf does not seep. You have to control the amount of food you use. In a while, the king will give you a warrant, and the grain seized in the Zhengzhou Mansion will be called by you. ”
"But promise the king that every grain of grain will go into the stomachs of these people. If someone wants to do it here, don't say that this king is ruthless. Also, in a moment you send someone to collect some firewood and grass. Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, these people are still wearing a little thin, so don't freeze to death. ”
"You're sending someone to recruit a few doctors, and they're guarding here. Although the weather has cooled down now, so many people have gathered here to avoid the spread of the epidemic. Tell the doctors that the king will pay them generously afterwards, so that they don't have to worry. ”
After that, Huang Qiong patted the shoulder of the deputy envoy Guo and said, "You did a good job on this errand, and this king will keep it in mind." Remember, be upright in your heart. This is true for being a person, and even more so for being an official. Only when the heart is correct, can the officer do a good job, and the soldier can lead well. Remember, don't do anything that falls into the trap in the future. ”
Huang Qiong's words made the deputy envoy Guo somewhat aggrieved: "Lord Wang, your teachings must be kept in mind in the end." It's just that the last general will arrange for you to live in King Jing's Mansion, not a stone. Lord Wang, you told the end to protect King Jing's family, and the end did not dare to forget for a moment. It's just that although the last general said according to your instructions, it is impossible for the last general to stay still in King Jing's Mansion all the time. ”
"The last general will not dare to forget your instructions, but the people below may not be as attentive as the last general. The last general is not in King Jing's Mansion, and the people below may not dare to be lazy. After all, the current situation of King Jing's Mansion is here. In the past, King Jing's Mansion was the residence of the prince of the dynasty, but now, although the court has not yet issued an edict to seize the title, it is already an established fact that King Jing committed rebellion. ”
"King Jing has been in the domain for many years, and he has made people angry and resentful in Zhengzhou. At present, Jingwangfu has become a dead tiger, although there are not necessarily too many people who take the opportunity to retaliate, but it is not necessarily less. In the end, I am worried that if the people below are negligent, it will cause unimaginable consequences. Although your edict will be known and understood, not all of those below will understand. ”
"At present, there are already people in the army who are criticizing, why mobilize so many military horses to protect a prince who is a man of fish and flesh and a rebellion? The last will set up your line in King Jing's Mansion, one is to protect your safety. The second is that as long as you are in Jingwangfu, the people who protect Jingwangfu will not dare to have any neglect. ”
"Lord Wang, I won't tell you anything. The last general told you a lie before, and the few people who set the fire yesterday took advantage of the guards' negligence to sneak near the side gate of King Jing's Mansion. If it weren't for the fact that the last general was patrolling the street and found that the firewood in the hands of these people was already stained with vegetable oil, the consequences might have been unimaginable. ”
"The last general also knows that this matter may not be so simple. How can a few vegetable farmers outside Zhengzhou know the location of the firewood house in Jingwangfu so clearly? But since the prince and the last general were stationed in Zhengzhou, they found that the people's grievances here had boiled to the top. If you are not careful in handling this matter, you will make a big mess. Therefore, the last general can only let the township be protected and let the people go. ”
Hearing this Deputy Envoy Guo, there was a somewhat aggrieved explanation in his tone, and Huang Qiong groaned slightly. found that although his approach was a bit suspicious, it was undoubtedly a relatively good result at the moment. Although the soldiers of the Xiaocai Battalion are now all military members, they are basically ordinary people from the lower classes.
Even if you don't know a big word, you have innate sympathy for the weak in your heart. The emperor asked himself to guarantee the affairs of King Jing's family, but he could not publicly explain it to the Xiaoqi battalion. It is normal for the soldiers to be dissatisfied with spending so much energy to protect a traitor's family, and it is normal to have some criticism. Although he did not dare to do anything in his actions, negligence was also certain.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong looked at Deputy Envoy Guo in front of him, smiled faintly and said, "Is this the king's, it's the king's a little one-sided." This king blames you for being wrong, and I apologize to you here. You can rest assured that everything you have done these days will be remembered by the king in your heart, and you will truthfully play the emperor. It is a great achievement that you can stabilize the situation in Zhengzhou in such a short period of time. ”
Huang Qiong's words of apology made Deputy Guo, who just felt that he had been greatly wronged, stunned for a moment. He never thought that Huang Qiong, as a dignified prince, would apologize to him. For many years, he had never heard that the boss apologize to his subordinates for doing something wrong.
Even if you know that you have done something wrong, you will not say anything. At most, some compensation is given in private. More of it, then the right to treat it as if there is no such thing. For those bosses who pay attention to the distinction between the upper and lower, they must not apologize for their mistakes, let alone the dignified prince of the dynasty.
Looking at Deputy Envoy Guo, who was stunned after listening to his apology, Huang Qiong patted him on the shoulder and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and arrange it." However, looking at the situation here, this king can't take this Zhengzhou prefect's yamen as his own for the time being. In that case, where you think it is appropriate, this king will obey your arrangement. ”
Deputy Envoy Guo, who was slapped by Huang Qiong and immediately woke up from his distraction, hurriedly said: "The last general thinks that it is better to set up Xingyuan in King Jing's Mansion." Please ask the prince to move to the Jingwang Mansion first, and the general will immediately arrange for someone to collect the paper. However, the prince, the last general has never been a magistrate, and he is already exhausted in just two days. also asked the prince to send a civil official to the last general. ”
"Judging from your deployment, your parents have done a good job in the past two days. In this way, you are struggling for a day for the time being. When the commander of the capital arrives, especially after the new prefect of Zhengzhou arrives, you can step down. Well, this king won't say much. Explain it to the people in a moment. After that, Huang Qiong left without any hesitation.
Looking at the background of Huang Qiong's hurried departure, Deputy Envoy Guo was confused. Since the decree of the rebellion was issued, the British king repeatedly emphasized that it was not allowed to disturb the people, and even issued a decree of ten killings. At least this British king still cherishes the people very much. But why now, ignoring these people who have avenged their grievances? Didn't he know that this was a great opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people?
Unlike the commander of Yudu, who turned from civil to military and shot with a knife and a shot, this deputy envoy Guo was born in an authentic military attache family. It is different from the commander of Yudu, who has never participated in the open and secret battles between princes and has never paid attention to it. Although he is not involved, he is at least concerned about the reasons of his family background.
His father once served as the commander of the Eight Armies of the Imperial Forest, Long Xiang's Left Army. At the time of the so-called Huaiyang Change, he was the first commander of the Eighth Army of the Imperial Forest to fall to the emperor. Later, he won the respect of Huang Qiong's emperor Lao Tzu, and he had already become a privy deputy when he was a minister. If it weren't for the Great Qi Dynasty's customization, the military attache would not be allowed to be the prime minister.
In terms of the emperor's weight, it is impossible for his Lao Tzu to do the Pingzhang affairs under the Zhongshu Sect, but there is no problem in doing such a deputy as the governor. Even if he only became a privy deputy envoy, he was given the title of Earl of Yingchuan. His family background makes this deputy envoy Guo much clearer about the situation in the DPRK than the commander of Yudu, who is wise enough to protect himself.
He knows very well that he can achieve this position, in addition to the fact that he has also made a lot of military exploits when he was in the border army. Another point is that the emperor gave a reward to his own old man, who was still in the prime of life, and who retired bravely. Otherwise, under the condition that the emperor prefers to use a commoner-born general, this deputy envoy will not be able to do it himself.
When he was in the border army, he fought to the death, and he could be regarded as a repeat of his military exploits. When he served as the envoy of the soldiers and horses of Shaoxing Prefecture, he was in office and wandered around the East Zhejiang Road for several years, attacking several mountain bandits in the county to exterminate the embers. and the former Jing Zhaoyin, who has been removed from his errand, and is known as the most outstanding son of the family of this dynasty.
But his own family background will help him in the early days. According to the order of the imperial court, after reaching more than four grades, it will become a resistance. The military attaché's customization in this regard is not as rigid as that of the civilian counterpart. After all, most of the military generals in this era were from families, and if the military attachés were also strictly restricted, I am afraid that the military attachés of the imperial court would not be able to meet the needs at all.
