Chapter 200: It's Too Much
But the angry people didn't care about the prefect at all, and beat Qin Shou's entourage to the head, Qin Shou was also a little flustered, and could only shout at Guo Zhiyuan with a fierce face: "Guo Zhiyuan, you instructed these Diao people to confront this mansion, have you thought about the consequences?!" ……”
"Which eye do you see that I command the people? There is only one scale in the hearts of the people, and they can see better than anyone who is loyal and who is traitorous! ......" Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Qin Shou and said coldly, but Guo Zhiyuan didn't want the people to clash with Qin Shou's entourage for him, because the imperial court has always been strict in dealing with group incidents, and if he really wants to make a big deal, he and the people will be in trouble, so he turned around and waved to the excited people and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, thank you for your support of Guo, please rest assured, Guo will be fine, we don't have to move our fists to be reasonable, please don't be impulsive, please stop now, okay?" ……”
The angry people stopped when they heard Guo Zhiyuan say this, but Qin Shou secretly sneered, will it be okay? Where did you get your confidence Guo Zhiyuan? I'm going to make you look good today! Seeing that the common people had stopped, he became angry again, and angrily rebuked his entourage who were chased and beaten by the people: "It's all useless! What are you still doing? Why don't you close the newspaper for me! ……”
This time, Guo Zhiyuan didn't remain silent anymore, put the plaque in his hand horizontally and held his hands in front of his chest, stood at the door with a golden knife, and shouted: "I see who dares to move!" ”
The entourage brought by Qin Shou was shocked by Guo Zhiyuan's kind of one-man power, plus he was scared by the people just now, and they all cowered and didn't dare to step forward, Qin Shou was even more angry when he saw it, and his anger rushed straight to the top of his head, and he rushed up and snatched the plaque in Guo Zhiyuan's hand, he thought that Guo Zhiyuan would definitely try his best to snatch it, but he let go as soon as he grabbed Guo Zhiyuan, and the plaque was in Qin Shou's hands, although Qin Shou was a little surprised, but he was already overwhelmed by anger and he didn't have time to think about it. Throwing the plaque in his hand to the ground, the plaque was broken in half, and he felt incomprehensible and hateful, so he stepped on it a few times with his foot!
At this time, Guo Zhiyuan suddenly burst out laughing, and said loudly while laughing: "Okay! Step on! Pedal hard! A little harder! ……”
Qin Shou felt that something was wrong even if he was stupid, so he stopped, looked at Guo Zhiyuan with a hesitant face, and said in a trembling voice: "Guo... Guo Zhiyuan, what the hell are you doing? ……”
Guo Zhiyuan put away his smile and said coldly: "Lord Qin is really majestic!" But if I were you, I would definitely take a closer look at this plaque before smashing it, not anyone's plaque can be smashed! ……”
Qin Shou felt more and more bad, and quickly leaned over and tore off the red silk cloth covering the plaque, and the three golden words "Xingming Daily" written on the plaque, Qin Shou was stunned for a moment, this is nothing, why did Guo Zhiyuan behave so confidently, suddenly his eyes were fixed on the seal in the lower right corner of the plaque, and on the seal were the four small words "Zhu Yijun Seal", Qin Shou's face suddenly turned pale, who is Zhu Yijun? Zhu Yijun is the real name of Emperor Wanli, and he actually smashed the plaque with the inscription of Emperor Wanli!
Guo Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he pointed at Qin Shou and shouted, "Qin Shou, are you guilty?!" You smashed the plaque with the inscription on the Holy Lord's own handwriting and stepped on it under your feet, which is a great disrespect! ……”
Qin Shou naturally knew that he was being yin by Guo Zhiyuan, and he gritted his teeth with hatred but had no choice, so he quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the plaque on the ground again and again, and wept bitterly: "The minister is guilty!" The minister acted recklessly and mistakenly damaged the plaque inscribed by the saint himself, which is a great crime of disrespect! ……”
If it is in a dynasty with a very strict feudal etiquette system, such as my Qing Dynasty, Guo Zhiyuan is enough to kill Qin Shouyin, if he commits a crime of disrespect in the Qing Dynasty, it is light, and most of them will be exterminated, but the Ming Dynasty is actually relatively enlightened in this regard, especially for Wenchen and Yanguan, the Wenchen and Yanguan of the Ming Dynasty often force the emperor to the palace in the court, and even directly scold the emperor for being mediocre, but even if the emperor is very angry, he is generally a court staff, and rarely directly beheads him.
Especially when a discerning person sees this matter, he knows that this is a pit that Guo Zhiyuan deliberately dug for Qin Shou, plus there are so many Donglin Party people in the court to help Qin Shou speak, so Guo Zhiyuan knows that Qin Shou will not be killed by this matter alone, and if he holds on to this matter, he will completely fight with the Donglin Party people, which will be detrimental to his future development, and he is just doing this to show the evil anger in his heart, and it feels very cool to see the arrogant Qin Shou crawling under his feet and trembling.
After being cool, Guo Zhiyuan said slowly: "Lord Qin, you are also an unintentional mistake, so let's ask you to use gold to recreate a gold plaque, which can be regarded as a countervail, so that it can be worthy of the saint's handwritten inscription, Lord Qin is willing?" ……”
Qin Shou raised his head in some surprise, he couldn't figure out why Guo Zhiyuan would give up such an excellent opportunity to bring him down, his already desperate heart moved again, although it was very painful for him to rebuild a plaque with gold, but it was nothing compared to the great disrespect that might lose his official position and cut off his head, and he nodded busily: "I am willing!" I do! ……”
Even if this matter is revealed like this, but Qin Shou is not a person who knows how to be grateful, on the contrary, because he was slapped in the face by Guo Zhiyuan just now, he became more and more jealous of him, so he got up from the ground and stood up again, and said in an official tone: "Guo Zhiyuan, this official has another business today, since you have been dismissed from the Ministry of Officials, hurry up and handle the handover, and now the candidate of the Ministry of Officials to replace you as the governor of Gutian County has not yet come out, but the Gutian County Government cannot be presided over by no one, and the government intends to let the chief bookkeeper Liu Qidong temporarily take over the affairs of the county government, and you will quickly handle the handover with him." ……”
Liu Qidong, who had been hiding behind Qin Shou, hurriedly stood up vividly, looked at Guo Zhiyuan triumphantly and said, "Lord Guo, you can't imagine that the lower officials are back again, right?!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan looked at Liu Qidong, who was a villain, with disdain, sneered, suddenly pulled out a roll of yellow paper from his sleeve, raised his hands above his head, and said loudly: "This is the secret decree of the saint, seeing the holy decree is like seeing the saint, Qin Shou, don't kneel down?!" ……”
Qin Shou looked at Guo Zhiyuan dumbfounded, wondering why he suddenly turned into a holy decree again? At this time, his heart was really broken, this Guo Zhiyuan was really too much, how could he play people like this? Why didn't you take it out sooner if you had a holy decree? It hurts that I just knelt once and knelt again, which is equivalent to pressing my face to the ground again and again and rubbing it, and there are so many people and their entourage watching at the scene, do you still have a face for this kneeling?
But Qin Shou was reluctant in his heart and didn't dare not kneel, so he hurriedly prostrate on the ground and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live!" The others also hurriedly followed and crawled on the mountain and shouted long live.
Guo Zhiyuan then shook the holy decree in his hand and unfolded it in a dashing manner, and said loudly: "The matter of the Luzon chieftain killing my Ming merchants has been unresolved, which really damages the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, but my Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette, I don't want to start the army lightly, Guo Zhiyuan, the former Gutian Zhixian County, is familiar with foreign affairs, and he is brave enough to make Guo Zhiyuan a diplomatic envoy, go to Luzon to negotiate with the Luzon chieftain, and rescue my Ming imprisoned businessmen...... When it is critical, you can make a decision on the spot, act cheaply, and local officials in Fujian should cooperate, hoping that Guo Aiqing can maintain the prestige of our Ming Dynasty, and do not lose hope, and admire this! ”
Strictly speaking, Wanli's decree must be a little irregular, because the official decree must be sealed by the emperor by the cabinet scholars, and there is a strict format, but Wanli knows that if he formally proposes to let Guo Zhiyuan serve as a diplomatic envoy in the court to negotiate with Luzon and Spain, he will definitely be opposed by the first assistant Shen and other ministers, and it is indeed not enough to let Guo Zhiyuan serve as a diplomatic envoy, after all, Guo Zhiyuan is only a small Qipin Zhi County, and he is so young, In addition, Wanli did not know whether Guo Zhiyuan could successfully complete this mission, so he just held the idea of being a dead horse and a live horse doctor and asked Guo Zhiyuan to give it a try. That's why Wanli came up with such a nondescript secret decree, so that he didn't have to take it to the court to discuss, in case Guo Zhiyuan messed up, he could also deduce that the secret decree was forged by Guo Zhiyuan, so that it would not damage the face of the court.
Qin Shou was also a little confused when he heard Guo Zhiyuan recite the secret decree, is there still such a holy decree? Isn't the beginning of the holy decree all "carried by heaven, the emperor's edict (or edict)"? But he didn't dare to question it, because he believed that no matter how bold Guo Zhiyuan was, he would not dare to forge the holy decree, and this was not without precedent, there were many unruly emperors in the Ming Dynasty who had issued a lot of "interesting" holy decrees, such as Ming Chengzu Zhu Di once gave a holy decree to the servants of Xiuwudang Mountain, which was full of vernacular.
Guo Zhiyuan looked at Qin Shou's expression and was secretly amused, in fact, he was also a little confused when he first got this secret decree from Zhang Cheng, he originally just wanted to keep his position as the magistrate, but he didn't expect Emperor Wanli to give him such an errand as a diplomatic envoy, how big an official is this diplomatic envoy? How many products are it? What should he do to Luzon? Wanli didn't say it in the secret decree, which was a bit embarrassing, but fortunately, Wanli was quite kind, giving him the power to make decisions and act cheaply, and also asked local officials in Fujian to cooperate with him, so that there was a lot of room for operation, and he could pull up the tiger skin and fill the banner.
He saw that Qin Shou seemed to be a little suspicious, so he deliberately handed over the secret decree, and said with a smile: "Lord Qin, do you want to take a look at it yourself?" ……”
Qin Shou swept it with the corner of his eye, and when he saw the jade seal under the secret decree, he knew that it must be true, and hurriedly waved his hand awkwardly and said: "No need, no need, congratulations to Lord Guo for being reused, I don't know if Lord Guo needs the cooperation of this mansion?" ……”
