Governor Yamen, Wu Guorui is sitting in the study at the moment, issuing all kinds of documents and orders.

After defeating the main force of the Japanese in the previous battle, Wu Guorui really relaxed, and he could sit still in the Governor's Mansion at this moment.

"You mean, the case has been closed over there?" Wu Guorui said in a deep voice.

Usually the things he asks about are major events, and now the Tongwei case that Jinyi Wei is strictly investigating is definitely a big deal.

Originally, he thought that the emperor would take this opportunity to purge the wealthy families in Jiangnan again, but now this result made Wu Guorui have to admit that he still didn't understand the emperor's thoughts.

"The case has been closed, all those who were arrested have confessed, and Jinyiwei has decided to behead them all!" The subordinate officer replied.

"In this Nan'an City, there are many people killed by his Jinyiwei family!" Wu Guorui sighed.

Wu Guorui will not have the slightest mercy for these people who were directly found to be in trouble, and beheading these people is revenge for the dead soldiers.

"Alright, you go down!" Wu Guorui waved his hand, and then continued to focus on the paperwork in front of him.

Although the beheading of dozens of people is a big deal for Jinyiwei, what Wu Guorui really cares about at this moment is the battle of pursuit everywhere.

Yes, although the Japanese have been defeated, the pursuit is not over, and this stage is precisely the most complicated.

In order to stop the Japanese for a while, it is necessary to destroy as much of their living force as possible while pursuing, and it is best if they can be completely destroyed.

So in the past two days, Wu Guorui has been waiting for Zheng Shaojun's good news.

…………

Towards noon, the sun was already shining in the sky, dispelling the chill on the ground.

The soldiers on duty at the gate of the governor's yamen were all basking in the sun with a comfortable face at the moment.

Just as they were about to go to lunch after the change of shifts, they heard a series of horses' hooves at the entrance of the street, which alerted the soldiers.

But when they saw the identity of the person who came, this vigilance immediately dissipated, and the person who came was Zheng Shaojun, the envoy of the Jing'an Army who was in charge of the battle.

At this moment, Zheng Shaojun looks high-spirited, full of joy like a young man.

When he came to the yamen outside the yamen, he was immediately greeted by a general flag, and at the same time congratulated: "Congratulations on your victorious return!" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Shaojun was even more happy, only to see him take out a few taels of silver from his arms, throw it to the general flag leading the horse and say, "Take it to buy wine and drink!" ”

"Thank you, thank you!" The general flag and the general flag who led the horse thanked him again and again, and a few taels of silver was a lot.

After dismounting, Zheng Shaojun went directly into the yamen, and the soldiers who came with him were led to another place to rest.

At this time, it was time for lunch, and it stands to reason that a high-ranking official like Wu Guorui could go home to eat.

But this Governor Wu has never used his privileges, except for special circumstances, almost all of them eat in the Yamen, and at most they just open a small stove in the Yamen.

When Zheng Shaojun came to Wu Guorui's study, he saw that on the coffee table in the living room at the moment, there was a configuration of three dishes and one soup.

didn't wait for Zheng Shaojun to speak, but heard Wu Guorui speak: "Have you eaten?" ”

After saluting Wu Guorui, Zheng Shaojun said, "My lord, why do you still eat so simply?" You have to think about your body! ”

Zheng Shaojun is sincere in saying this, Wu Guorui's kindness over the years, but he doesn't dare to forget it for a moment.

"People are old and can't eat much, it's better to be simpler!" Wu Guorui put down the dishes and chopsticks and said.

This is also one of the manifestations of his high style and bright festival, his obviously clear style, but he is in the topaz family.

Looking at Wu Guorui's white beard and temples, Zheng Shaojun said that he didn't know what to say for a while.

"How's the battle going?" Wu Guorui took the initiative to ask.

I heard Zheng Shaojun speak: "All the pursuers have severely injured the Japanese and beheaded more than 2,000!" ”

Two thousand, this number is not too much, but coupled with the loss of the previous frontal battlefield, nearly seventy percent of the strength of the Japanese Kou has been wiped out.

"My lord, although I haven't done my best, after eating and hurting the Japanese invaders, I will definitely make the Japanese invaders dare not violate the border within three years!" Zheng Shaojun said firmly.

After saying that, Zheng Shaojun didn't see the smile he should have on Wu Guorui's face, which made him wonder in his heart.

After a few breaths, Wu Guorui smiled and said: "Yes, yes, since the war has stopped, you are busy with the next matter of rewarding meritorious deeds and compensating for casualties!" ”

Although this smile came a little late, it also dispelled the doubts in Zheng Shaojun's heart.

"My lord, if our sailors can use it, this time is a godsend opportunity to completely exterminate the Japanese Invaders!" Zheng Shaojun said with emotion at this time.

In this regard, Wu Guorui did not express his opinion.

"If there's nothing else to do, go ahead!"

Wu Guorui's words made Zheng Shaojun even more surprised in his heart, didn't the governor ask in detail about the pursuit?

According to the past practice, Wu Guorui would definitely ask about this, and today he seems to be a little abnormal.

Zheng Shaojun can only understand that the boss is too happy and may not be able to digest it for a while.

So Zheng Shaojun didn't say more, and after saluting Wu Guorui, he withdrew from the study.

After Zheng Shaojun went out, Wu Guorui leaned back in the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Wu Guorui got up from his position and came to the desk.

I saw him flip through the scrolls on the table a few times, and then pick up a letter.

The signature on the envelope is Huang Yucheng, the first assistant of the dynasty, and the letter has been opened, obviously the contents of it have been read by Wu Guorui.

"The Japanese did not dare to invade the border for three years, and they ...... for three years There are so many things that can happen in the imperial court! Wu Guorui sighed again.

That's right, before Zheng Shaojun came, he was very concerned about the situation of the pursuit, and now although it is good news, it also makes Wu Guorui have new worries.

As long as the Japanese are always there, the southeast will have to rely on him Wu Guorui to fight against the Japanese invaders, so Huang Yucheng's position can be stabilized.

Now that the Japanese have been hit hard, it is equivalent to breaking the pillar of Topaz to stabilize the court.

So Huang Yucheng hinted in the letter that Wu Guorui wanted to raise his own respect, but it was just ...... Wu Guorui ignored it.

Another pillar of the Yellow Party is to help the emperor fill the hole in the treasury, and now the commercial taxes have been collected one after another, which has further weakened the role of the Yellow Party.

It can be said that those things that are good things for the imperial court are big bad things for the Yellow Party.

It stands to reason that when Chen Xiaoting collected taxes and silver, the people of the Yellow Party should have jumped out to make trouble, but although the situation fluctuated, it remained basically stable.

This is not to say that the Yellow Party did not act, but it was because the emperor's will forcibly suppressed these people that allowed Chen Xiaoting to complete the task.

Since there is suppression, then there must be a backlash, and this Wang Hai incident is a rebound.

When Qin Yanwen and his party's Qingliu attacked the palace by taking advantage of Wang Hai, Huang Yucheng's officials, who were originally used as shields, chose to lose their voices collectively.

In this way, they just wanted the emperor to see clearly that the court still couldn't do without them to control the balance.

It's just that this kind of approach, which is almost like blackmailing the emperor, itself shows that they are no longer controllable.

This is a very dangerous means, and forcing Huang Yucheng to take such a risk, Wu Guorui, as a member of the Huang Party, has a certain responsibility, who let him beat the Japanese so badly!

"I'm sorry for Elder Ge!" Wu Guorui sighed again, Huang Yucheng finally had the grace of knowing him.

deviated from his own faction, and was isolated or even attacked by the Qingliu faction, Wu Guorui would inevitably be disgraced...... But Wu Guorui has no regrets.
