Chapter 407: Leave
Qin Shou looked at Guo Zhiyuan triumphantly, this set of "combination punches" was thought out by the Donglin Party members with great effort, they knew that Guo Zhiyuan had been operating in Dongfan for so long, and the loyalty of his subordinates was very high, almost needles could not penetrate the water, and the previous imperial court's "mixing sand" plan failed for this reason, so if you want to take over Guo Zhiyuan to control Dongfan, you must first divide the backbone of his team and cut off his wings!
Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Qin Shou, the cold light in his eyes flickered, he waved his hand and smiled lightly: "No need, not in his position, not in his government, I am no longer the prefect of Dongfan, and if the imperial court wants to adjust the personnel of Dongfan, I will not be involved......" said and left without looking back.
Everyone in Dongfan looked at each other, did Guo Zhiyuan really leave like this? They felt like they had lost their backbone all of a sudden, and they couldn't find their direction, and even Xu Guangqi and Shen Yourong, who had been promoted, couldn't see any joy on their faces, they stared at each other with big eyes, and finally left with a depressed face and a blank face.
As soon as the people in Dongfan left, Zhang Songbai and Liu Anzhi, who were still trembling just now, suddenly trembled, and surrounded Qin Shou with a flood of words, Qin Shou has indeed calmed down a lot after all these years of officialdom experience, but he is much calmer than Zhang Songbai and Liu Anzhi, waved his hand to interrupt the flattery of Zhang Songbai and Liu Anzhi and others, and said with a gloomy face: "Now is not the time to be happy, Guo Zhiyuan is not so easy to deal with, he has been working hard in Dongfan for many years, it is impossible to give Dongfan to us so easily!" You all cheer me up, contact his subordinates more, and try to win over those who can be co-opted, only by cutting off his minions, Guo Zhiyuan will become a toothless tiger, and there will be no chance to turn over! ……”
When the people of Dongfan learned that Guo Zhiyuan was going to leave Dongfan, they all boiled, and they all ran to the prefect's yamen to petition, not letting Guo Zhiyuan leave, and Qin Shou did not dare to show up, he was afraid that he would be directly eaten alive by the people of Dongfan as soon as he appeared, and the current prefect's yamen was completely at a standstill, not to mention Guo Zhiyuan's team backbone, even those low-level scribes and servants, he couldn't move.
Qin Shou had already expected this situation, he knew that as long as Guo Zhiyuan stayed in Dongfan for a day, his successor to the prefect would be an empty shelf, and it would be impossible to do anything, only by letting Guo Zhiyuan leave the capital as soon as possible, he would have the opportunity to divide Guo Zhiyuan's team backbone, he didn't dare to urge Guo Zhiyuan, so he had to go to Guo Zhengyu.
Seeing Guo Zhengyu, Qin Shou first greeted the teacher Gu Xiancheng, pulled the old friendship of the Donglin Party, and then sent out a high hat without money, saying that Guo Zhengyu was loyal to the monarch and the country, taking into account the overall situation, and was the pillar of the country and the spiritual leader of the Donglin Party. Guo Zhengyu has been up and down for many years, and he is naturally very clear about Qin Shou's intentions, in fact, he is also conflicted in his heart, on one side is the court, and on the other hand is his son, how should he choose?
In the end, the idea of loyalty still prevailed, Guo Zhengyu waved his hand to interrupt Qin Shou's flattery, sighed and said: "Lord Qin, please go back, the old man knows what to do, and the descendants of my Guo family will never be traitors and thieves!" The old man will urge Zhiyuan to leave for Beijing as soon as possible, and also hope that Lord Qin will put the people of Dongfan first, and not easily change his ways, so that Zhiyuan's hard work will be in vain......"
Qin Shou was overjoyed, naturally he would never mess around, Guo Zhengyu also knew that his promise was not much credible, so he waved his hand and said: "The old man will go to Zhiyuan to talk now, Lord Qin, please do it......"
Guo Zhengyu came to Guo Zhiyuan's courtyard, which was already crowded with the backbone of Guo Zhiyuan's team, all persuading Guo Zhiyuan not to go to the capital, and some were complaining about the small actions of Qin Shou and others in the past few days, but Guo Zhiyuan just smiled and said nothing, seeing Guo Zhengyu's arrival, the backbones all hurriedly stopped talking, they all knew that this old man was a little old-fashioned, and he must not let him hear such rebellious words as a rebellion, maybe he would really be spit on by the old man.
When the backbones left, Guo Zhengyu looked at Guo Zhiyuan lovingly, sighed and said: "Yuan'er, my father knows that you have grievances, but the king wants the ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, not to mention that the saint only demoted your official position, and did not punish your crimes, it is already an extrajudicial grace, you ......"
Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Dad, you don't have to say anything, your son will promise you, and you will leave for the capital tomorrow, but the capital is far away, I don't want Wan'er to follow me for a long time, so let her stay in Dongfan, and ask my father to help take care of one or two......
Guo Zhengyu looked at Guo Zhiyuan in disbelief, and looked at him fixedly for a while before he stood up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yuan'er, don't worry, Daddy Wan'er will help you take care of it......" After speaking, he sighed and left.
Looking at his father's somewhat rickety back, Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh secretly, his cheap dad is so cute, and having such a pedantic dad between himself and the court is really embarrassing!
I don't know when there was suddenly one more person in the room, it was Zhang Cheng who hadn't shown up for a long time! Guo Zhiyuan didn't seem surprised by Zhang Cheng's appearance, and asked in a deep voice without looking back: "How is it?" What did you find? ……”
Zhang Cheng clasped his fists and saluted: "These days, Zhang Songbai, Liu Anzhi and others frequently visit our people, but most of our people avoid them and ignore them...... Zhang Cheng hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "But they are obviously doing this to divide our people, and their subordinates are worried that once the adults leave Dongfan, it is inevitable that there will be people who are not strong-willed, and they will be co-opted, do they need subordinates to ......"
Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "No! You don't have to do anything, the big waves wash the sand, the mud and sand are all down, Dongfan has developed too fast over the years, and it is too smooth, just take advantage of this matter to see some people clearly, you can prepare according to my previous arrangement, I will leave Dongfan tomorrow! ……”
The next day, Guo Zhiyuan really left Dongfan, in order not to alarm the people of Dongfan, he only brought a warship and five hundred personal guards, and did not even notify the backbone of his team to see him off, and left quietly. In this way, Qin Shou was not at ease, and sent a ship to monitor all the way, watching Guo Zhiyuan land in Fuzhou Port, Fujian Governor Chen Zizhen had already sent someone there to wait, this time Chen Zizhen was almost lost by Guo Zhiyuan, and spent a lot of money to keep the official hat, naturally he didn't dare to be sloppy, and specially transferred a thousand elite soldiers, saying that it was an escort, but it was actually surveillance, to ensure that Guo Zhiyuan would not play tricks halfway, and honestly leave Dongfan to go to the capital!
