So all kinds of remarks attacking Guo Zhiyuan began to fly all over the sky, some said that Guo Zhiyuan also privately concluded an agreement with the Spaniards to lose power and humiliate the country, in exchange for the Spaniards to release the imprisoned Ming surviving businessmen who were doing business in Manila and apologize, and it was also said that Guo Zhiyuan promised the Spaniards to compensate the Ming merchants for their losses by deducting trade taxes, which was selfish, and wanted to fill their own pockets, especially when they learned that Guo Zhiyuan led 500 surviving businessmen to occupy Penghu Island, they found an excuse to attack, with bad intentions and disobedient hearts. A big hat with a lot of guilt was buckled on Guo Zhiyuan's head.

There have been many Fujian officials who are ready to jointly impeach Guo Zhiyuan, but they have all been suppressed by Xu Xueju, Xu Xueju of course did not do this to protect Guo Zhiyuan, but because he knew that Guo Zhiyuan's successful completion of the mission was an indisputable fact, and it could not be suppressed, not to mention that Guo Zhiyuan had already successfully completed his mission and rescued the surviving Ming businessmen who were imprisoned by the Spaniards The news was published in the "Xingming Daily", which is now known to the whole world. It will only stir up public indignation.

But Xu Xueju also deeply felt the threat of Guo Zhiyuan, and if Guo Zhiyuan continued to grow like this, he, the governor, would also become Guo Zhiyuan's stepping stone, so he must not let Guo Zhiyuan continue to grow, and the best way to stop Guo Zhiyuan is to no longer give him the opportunity to take charge of himself, arrange an official position for him in name only, and then find him a top boss who will not deal with him, so that Guo Zhiyuan will not be able to toss.

As for this top boss who doesn't deal with Guo Zhiyuan, Xu Xueju has also thought about it, if there is any minister in Fujian Province who hates Guo Zhiyuan more than him, it is naturally Shen Yizhong, who is the right participant in politics in Fujian Province and Zhangnan Province.

Shen Yizhong was also very angry when he heard the news that Guo Zhiyuan had successfully completed the mission and returned, and said in his heart that this kid was really fateful, so he couldn't kill him, and let this kid make a great contribution, which would be even more difficult to deal with him in the future. Just when Shen Yizhong was depressed, he received a notice that Governor Xu Xueju was going to come to Zhangnan Road to inspect, Shen Yizhong was surprised when he heard it, Xu Xueju is the Donglin Party, he is the Zhejiang Party, and he has never had much contact, why did Xu Xueju suddenly come to Zhangnan Road to inspect?

But no matter what, Xu Xueju is Shen Yizhong's boss, and he still has to do face work, he hurriedly arranged to greet him, after Xu Xueju came, he was very enthusiastic about Shen Yizhong, I don't know the relationship between the two and thought that the two were old friends for many years, but Shen Yizhong knew that something abnormal must be a demon, and after a formulaic greeting, he retreated left and right, and said straight to the point: "Lord Xu, you have always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I don't know what to see this time?" ……”

Xu Xueju glanced at Shen Yizhong, and said with a smile: "I'm here to congratulate Lord Shen, the matter of the Luzon chieftain killing my merchants and people has been successfully resolved, and Lord Shen has a meritorious role in dispatching in the middle, and I am about to ask for credit to the court for Lord Shen!" ……”

Shen Yixin said that you are deliberately disgusting me, right, which pot is not opened, don't think that I don't know that you kicked the ball to me before to borrow a knife to kill someone, so he frowned and said: "Lord Xu, I can't afford this, if you want to say that the central dispatch is meritorious, it is also Lord Xu, and the lower officials are just doing things according to Lord Xu's orders......"

Xu Xueju laughed and said: "Lord Shen misunderstood, I am really ready to ask for credit for Lord Shen, Lord Shen, do you think, this can make the Luzon chieftain bow his head for killing my Ming merchants without permission, not only released the merchants of our dynasty who were imprisoned by them, but also promised compensation, what a great achievement!" If it was all taken up by Guo Zhiyuan, wouldn't it be too cheap for him? ……”

Shen Yizhong didn't seem to be deliberately teasing him when he heard Xu Xueju's tone, and said with some hesitation: "......What does the governor mean?" ”

Xu Xueju knew that if he didn't make his position thoroughly, Shen Yizhong would not express his position, so he smiled and said: "Lord Shen, this Guo Zhiyuan is amazing, it has only been less than two years since he became the commander of Gutian County, and he has already shocked the government and the opposition, and now he has made such a great achievement, and the current saint must have heard of Lord Shen, the best face of the court, this time Guo Zhiyuan sent an envoy to Luzon, and asked the Luzon chieftain to bow his head and apologize for killing my Ming businessmen without permission, and greatly increase my prestige, the saint will definitely be happy, if he is allowed to develop like this, Fujian is afraid that there is no place for you and me to stand again! ……”

Shen Yizhong saw that Xu Xueju said what was in his heart, so he no longer concealed his hatred for Guo Zhiyuan, and patted his thigh hatefully and said: "There are no heroes in the world, make the vertical son famous!" If the old man is younger, how can he stand out! ……”

Xu Xueju was secretly amused, and followed Shen Yizhong's words and said: "Yes, this son has become a climate, and only Lord Shen can suppress this son in Fujian, so I plan to recommend Guo Zhiyuan to the Holy Lord to be promoted to the general judge of Zhangzhou Mansion, I wonder if Lord Shen is willing to jointly recommend it with me?" ……”

Shen Yizhong's eyes lit up when he heard it, Xu Xueju's move was very ruthless, the general judgment was the official position of the sixth grade, Guo Zhiyuan was promoted from the seventh grade of the county to the sixth grade, which is considered to be a promotion, but it is not as good as the real power, because the general judgment is not the number one, it is probably equivalent to the modern executive deputy mayor, generally mainly in charge of food, water conservancy, agriculture, animal husbandry and local defense, etc., but this is not certain, the size of its authority depends largely on the attention of the local chief, Xu Xueju recommended Guo Zhiyuan as the general judge of Zhangzhou Prefecture, It is equivalent to putting Guo Zhiyuan under the nose of Shen Yizhong, Shen Yizhong has served in Zhangzhou for many years, and most of the officials in Zhangzhou Mansion are his protégés.

Thinking of this, Shen Yizhong slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "This discussion is very wonderful!" The lower officials are willing to join the governor and recommend Guo Zhiyuan to be the general judge of Zhangzhou Mansion! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan successfully completed the mission, not only successfully rescued the surviving businessmen of the Ming Dynasty who were imprisoned by the Spaniards to do business in Manila, but also forced Spain to deal with the Manila last year. Slaughter. The news of the apology for the killing incident and compensation in the form of deducting trade taxes reached the imperial court, and the Wanli Emperor Long Yan Dayue convened the cabinet ministers to discuss and prepare to reward Guo Zhiyuan, and the first assistant Shen has always been prepared, and took out Xu Xueju and Shen Yizhong jointly recommended Guo Zhiyuan to be promoted to the general judge of Zhangzhou Mansion, Emperor Wanli originally felt that Guo Zhiyuan had made such a great contribution, and it was a bit condescending to be promoted to the general judge of Zhangzhou Prefecture, but Shen had already thought of a way to deal with it, saying that Guo Zhiyuan was still too young, and it was not appropriate to pull out the seedlings to help him grow, and he was promoted too quickly. Emperor Wanli thought about it and felt that what Shen had said was not unreasonable, and approved the joint recommendation of Xu Xueju and Shen Yizhong, so that Guo Zhiyuan could be appointed as the general judge of Zhangzhou Mansion!
