Chapter 345: Persuasion
This is also Guo Zhiyuan and Xu Guangqi discussed in advance, one sings with a red face, the other sings with a white face, so that these officials from the capital know the difficulties and retreat, although Zhang Songbai changed the "script" smartly, but it did not disrupt Guo Zhiyuan's original plan, in a sense, it is even better than Guo Zhiyuan's original plan, after such a trouble, the fear in the hearts of the Beijing officials must be even worse, I wish to leave Dongfan as soon as possible, it will be easier for them to know the difficulties and retreat.
So Guo Zhiyuan just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, pretended to snort angrily and shook his sleeves away, handed over the mess to Xu Guangqi to clean up, Xu Guangqi asked the post house guard sergeant to help the Beijing officials back to their respective rooms one by one, and personally led the doctor from room to room to ask for warmth and ask about the injury.
The injuries of the Beijing officials are not serious, it is nothing more than some sprains and soft tissue contusions in the stampede, but they are scared one by one, they are willing to go out to Dongfan as officials is nothing more than thinking about the new government in Dongfan, there are many opportunities to fish for oil and water, but I didn't expect that the oil and water were not fished, but the hardships were not less, first Guo Zhiyuan was forced to go to the field to harvest rice tired like a dog, the conditions for eating and living are also very difficult, and there are worries about their lives at any time, many people's intestines are about to regret the green, should not come to Dongfan to be an official.
So Xu Guangqi just hinted slightly, saying that Dongfan was going to set up a branch yamen in Fuzhou, responsible for the official correspondence between Dongfan and the imperial court and the Fujian governor yamen, not only the original Yulu could be received, but also at the end of the year they could get a lot of allowance, these Beijing officials were naturally overjoyed when they heard it, and in turn begged Xu Guangqi to help them say a few good words in front of Guo Zhiyuan, so that they could go to Fuzhou's branch yamen, Xu Guangqi excused himself in embarrassment, and got the black state that the Beijing officials would never tell Dongfan and Guo Zhiyuan, I just wanted to be a justice of the peace before I agreed.
In comparison, Zhang Songbai and Liu Anzhi, the two "hard bones" are difficult to deal with, these two people have been taught face-to-face by the bigwigs in the capital, and they came with "tasks", so they are naturally unwilling to leave in such a gloomy manner, but Xu Guangqi also has a strategy, he takes various methods to break through, first to get rid of those Beijing officials who are not firm-willed, and finally comes to talk to them.
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Guangqi proposed the establishment of a branch yamen in Fuzhou, Zhang Songbai angrily took the case and said: "Guo Zhiyuan has a good plan to send us and others to Fuzhou, he can do whatever he wants in Dongfan, Zhang is entrusted by the imperial court, how can he be greedy for life and afraid of death and retreat?" You tell Guo Zhiyuan, I will never let him get his wish! ……”
Xu Guangqi had already guessed that Zhang Songbai was not so easy to convince, so he smiled unhurriedly and said: "If Lord Zhang must stay in Dongfan, it is fine, but the other adults from the capital have gone to Fuzhou to branch the yamen, and the lower officials are worried that Lord Zhang will be a little lonely......"
"What?!" Zhang Songbai was stunned for a moment when he heard that everyone else had already agreed to go to Fuzhou, and he gritted his teeth angrily and said: "These unscrupulous things are really inadequate and conspiracy, insufficient and conspiracy!" ……”
Xu Guangqi didn't bother to entangle with Zhang Songbai, everyone else left, Zhang Songbai couldn't afford to leave any waves, stood up and arched his hand and said: "Lord Zhang, think about it carefully, the conditions in Dongfan are difficult, and there is a lot of chaos, if Lord Zhang has an accident here, it will be bad......" After speaking, he left without looking at Zhang Songbai's face and leaving without looking back.
Not long after Xu Guangqi left, Liu Anzhi quietly slipped into Zhang Songbai's room, looked at Zhang Songbai with a smile and said, "Lord Zhang is really going to stay?" It's really admirable to Liu! ……”
Zhang Songbai squinted Liu An's eyes disdainfully, and snorted coldly: "The big husband can't be mighty, and the rich can't be lewd, how can Zhang be in the company of people who have no backbone, so naturally he has to stay ......"
Liu Anzhi shook his head disappreciatively, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, the situation is stronger than people, Liu doesn't want to go to Fuzhou, but this time the colleagues from the capital are gone, what can you and I do if we stay?" ……”
Zhang Songbai also knew that what Liu Anzhi said made sense, but he couldn't put down his head and lowered his head, and his gloomy face did not speak, Liu Anzhi knew that he had actually wavered, and continued: "Brother Zhang, although you and I have different political views, but this time at the same time, Dongfan is released as an official, which can be regarded as being in the same boat, there are a few heartfelt words I want to say and Brother Zhang, Liu has been an official for many years, and the ups and downs of this officialdom can be regarded as seeing a lot, this is the way of officials, not seeking to fly Huang Tengda, only seeking stability like Mount Tai, you Chu Party Zhang Xiang (Zhang Juzheng), my Zhejiang Party Shen Xiang (Shen consistently), They were all extremely popular ministers, and the scenery was the same, but what about the ending? It's not that the last word of the saint is gone! So Guo Zhiyuan is now a saint, is there still less time for the ministers of the DPRK and China to impeach him? Did you ever move him? Even Shen Xiang can't help him, just rely on you and me to bring him down, is it possible? ……”
Zhang Songbai listened to it with a slight change of color, Liu Anzhi said that when it came to this, it can be regarded as a deep talk, of course, Liu Anzhi is also worried that Zhang Songbai is really hot-headed and insists on staying, and when the time comes, the court will ask him, and he will not be able to excuse himself, only by dragging Zhang Songbai into the water, even if the court wants to be held accountable, and the law is not responsible, he can also clear up the involvement, so he will say it thoroughly.
Seeing that Zhang Songbai was still a little hesitant, Liu Anzhi could only take the medicine, and said in a low voice: "That Guo Zhiyuan is a tiger and wolf, with bad intentions, you and I both know it, I am afraid that the saint is also suspicious, but as long as he does not openly rebel, it is impossible for the saint to remove him just by virtue of an impeachment letter from you and me, except for him, who dares to make a military order to donate 100,000 taels of tax silver to the imperial court every year only on the barren land of Dongfan?" You also saw it just now, this Guo Zhiyuan is bold and ruthless, and he actually sent someone to pretend to be Shengfan to murder us, if he wants to kill us all, he will naturally not dare, but if we are all gone, and Brother Zhang is left alone, do you think he dares to kill people and kill him? At that time, Brother Zhang really expects the court to avenge Brother Zhang? ……”
Zhang Songbai was shocked by Liu Anzhi's words, and bowed to Liu Anzhi: "Thank you Brother Liu for mentioning it, otherwise Zhang is afraid of his life, Zhang is not afraid of death, but if he dies in such an unknown way, it is not worth it!" Zhang is willing to advance and retreat with Brother Liu! ……”
Liu Anzhi patted Zhang Songbai's shoulder and laughed: "That's right, that Guo Zhiyuan has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and he will rebel in the future, you and I will keep a useful body, and when this Guo Zhiyuan's anti-intentions gradually become apparent, and the saint's suspicion of him grows deeper, you and I will wait for the opportunity to give him a fatal blow!" When the time comes, I can't say that I can still make a big contribution! Ha ha! ……”
