Don't look at Luo Bingzhang and Wu Chaoyue, they are both disgusted and disgusted with the official and civil system from the bottom of their hearts, and the official system is not less corrupt and bribery, abuse of power, bullying men and women, rape and plunder, and other immoral things in Huguang, but our Xianfeng Emperor is satisfied with the performance of the official system in Huguang from the bottom of his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is no other reason, our official system has done a very good job of completing the real task assigned to him by Emperor Xianfeng, closely monitoring the every move of Luo Bingzhang and Wu Chaoyue, two Han capable ministers, and suppressing Luo Bingzhang and Wu Chaoyue from beginning to end.

The same is true of Zeng Guofan, as a leisure official who guards the system at home, and when he raises his arms, he immediately responds, and without much political and economic support from the Manchu court, he almost in the blink of an eye has pulled up a powerful army with more than 10,000 troops, or an army that only obeys the orders of Zeng Guofan, and Emperor Xianfeng has long regarded Zeng Guofan as an extremely dangerous object of vigilance. After the official Wen arrived, while closely monitoring Zeng Guofan, he skillfully used Wu Chaoyue's hedgehog character to indirectly suppress the Hunan army, which successfully greatly weakened Zeng Guofan's strength and prestige, and at the same time continued to use the Hunan army to contain and weaken the Taiping army, and played Zeng Guofan and the Hunan army in the palm of his hand, which also made Emperor Xianfeng extremely satisfied.

In such a situation, in fact, whether it is Wu Chaoyue, or Luo Bingzhang or Zeng Guofan, it is actually hopeless to overthrow the official document alone, even if he gets any real evidence, Emperor Xianfeng will at most demote the official document and punish him, and strictly reprimand, and will never take back the real power in the hands of the official document, let alone transfer the official document out of Huguang.

Emperor Xianfeng only miscalculated one point, that is, he never expected that Luo Bingzhang, the famous governor of real power, and Zeng Guofan, an important minister on the front line, would join forces to clean up the official documents, and he did not expect that the official documents could be greedy and promiscuous to this point, violating the etiquette system and forcing the local officials to pay homage to his concubines, raising male pets to grant court officials to prostitutes, accepting bribes from tea merchants to sit on the ground and taking commissions, and in the end, he was caught with real evidence, and attracted the joint impeachment of Luo Bingzhang and Zeng Guofan, two second-class officials, so that it was difficult for Emperor Xianfeng to really want to cover up the official documents this time.

"Uncompetitive dog minion! Useless dog stuff! ”

After scolding and scolding, after the impeachment excerpt jointly signed by Luo Bingzhang and Zeng Guofan fell on the pseudo-dragon case, Emperor Xianfeng was still reluctant to move the obedient and loyal official document, his face was gloomy, and what he was thinking about in his heart was actually how to exonerate the loyal dog slave of the official text and reduce the punishment.

Wen Qing, the new foreman of the military machine, saw the thoughts of Emperor Xianfeng, so he quickly stood up to share the worries of his master, and said to Emperor Xianfeng: "Master, although the official document is wrong, he is still diligent in his tenure in Huguang, and there is still a forgivable feeling. The servant suggested that he might as well issue an order to Wu Chaoyue, the governor of Hubei, so that he could check whether what Luo Bingzhang and Zeng Guofan played was true and whether there was any exaggeration, and then decide how to deal with the crimes of the official Wen before it was too late. ”

Emperor Xianfeng nodded with satisfaction, knowing that Wu Chaoyue only had a little brain, and when he saw such a will, he would definitely understand that he didn't want to move the official document, and then Wu Chaoyue only had to follow his own will to intercede for the official document and exonerate the crime, and he could immediately get off the donkey, give the official document a reduced punishment, and continue to stay in Huguang to continue to be a watchdog. Therefore, Emperor Xianfeng did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "According to Aiqing's wishes, give Wu Aiqing a decree, and ask him to check whether Luo Bingzhang and Zeng Guofan's participation is true and whether there is any exaggeration." ”

Jin Yan was right about the master's meaning, and Wen Qing, who was called Aiqing, of course, happily agreed, and immediately went down to draw up his will. Emperor Xianfeng glanced at the impeachment of Luo Bingzhang and Zeng Guofan, and scolded in his heart: "Dog slave, now even I have to owe Wu Chaoyue a favor." ”

Borrowing Wu Chaoyue's hand to keep the official documents, although the abacus of Emperor Xianfeng and Wen Qing played well, but what they never expected was that within a few days, Wu Chaoyue's excerpt of impeaching the official document was also sent to the capital. It has caused a very bad impact on the people, and it has also presented real evidence.

Or after seeing Wu Chaoyue's impeachment excerpt, Emperor Xianfeng knew that Luo Bingzhang, Zeng Guofan and Wu Chaoyue had actually secretly joined forces to fight against the official documents, and it was impossible for the official documents to be kept - Emperor Xianfeng would not get rid of Luo Bingzhang and Wu Chaoyue, two rare ministers, in order to keep the official documents with conclusive evidence, right? Moreover, even if the official documents are forcibly left in Huguang, Huguang will definitely be inseparable from the governors in the future, and the situation will be the same, not to mention the direct threat to the Taiping army from the upstream, just personnel disputes and quarrels are enough for the Manchu court to drink a pot.

Of course, not everyone saw it that way, and convened a few cronies and close ministers to discuss at this time, several Manchu minions thought that such arrogance must not be promoted, and strongly persuaded Emperor Xianfeng to forcibly leave the official documents in Huguang, so that the Han superintendent knew who was the master and who was the slave, so as not to let other Han officials follow the example and join hands to target Manchu officials. Emperor Xianfeng, who had extremely soft ears, was also shaken for a while, and almost wanted to forcibly keep the official document and suppress the arrogance of the Huguang Han people who joined forces to fight Man.

Fortunately for the Manchu court, but also very unfortunate for the official documents, Su Shun, the most favored courtier of the Xianfeng Emperor, happened to be a person who attached great importance to the appointment and pacification of Han officials, and knew that the protection of the official documents would inevitably make Wu Chaoyue and Luo Bingzhang cold, and would lead to the two provinces of Huguang in the future, so he strongly persuaded the Xianfeng Emperor to give up the official documents to appease the local ministers, and listed the various bad consequences of the efforts to protect the official documents.

When he was refuted by his political opponent Bai Ye, Su Shun also asked directly: "Bai Butang, since you think it doesn't matter if you give up Luo Bingzhang and Wu Chaoyue in order to keep the official text, then let me ask, who do you find to take over as the governor of Hunan and Hubei?" Can the two governors you protect, like Luo Bingzhang and Wu Chaoyue, manage Hunan, which is only a medium-sized province with money and grain, in an orderly manner, and constantly send troops across the border to suppress thieves while clearing the territory, and at the same time be able to quickly restore the people's livelihood in the local areas destroyed by the war, and at the same time be invincible, repeatedly winning more with less, so that the bandits dare not look west? ”

The most important thing for Luo Bingzhang and Wu Chaoyue to the Manchu court is that their abilities are too strong, so strong that almost no one can replace them, so even if they are unwilling, Bai Ye still can't find any words to refute Su Shun. Su Shun didn't continue to pay attention to him, but just turned to Emperor Xianfeng and said, "Master, you don't want the Han governor to be too rampant, and the minister understands and understands. But this time the official document is indeed guilty, and forcibly leaving him in Huguang, not to mention the immenseness of the Qing Dynasty's legal code, will definitely chill the hearts of Luo Bingzhang and Wu Chaoyue, and even more will chill the hearts of the soldiers in front. Only by severely punishing official documents and reflecting the majesty of national law is the best policy. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Xianfeng made up his mind, nodded and said: "Su Aiqing is reasonable, or not, since it is the official who is not angry, let him dismiss his post and go home to retire." As for the candidate to replace the official ......, Rong Zhen will consider it again. ”

…………

Emperor Xianfeng's consideration made Wu Chaoyue disappointed - Emperor Xianfeng didn't think of anything to let the young and promising Qing Dynasty minister Wu take over as the governor of Huguang on the spot, and directly chose to let the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner and the current Ministry of Rites Shangshu Hua Shana fill this shortage, instead of the official document to Huguang to continue to monitor and restrain Luo Bingzhang and Wu Chaoyue, the two Han capable ministers.

The news of the post station is far faster than Hua Shana's southward speed, when Hua Shana is still on the way south to take over, Wu Chaoyue already knows that the official document has fallen and the governor of Huguang has no part in it, in annoyance, Wu Chaoyue can't help beating his chest a little, and screams with great regret: "It's too hasty, this time it's too hasty, if you can be ready early, you can take the road there as early as Su Zhongtang, this time the governor of Huguang may be mine." ”

"It's useless to prepare in advance! You have absolutely no part in this term of Governor of Huguang! ”

Seeing Wu Chaoyue's lack of greed, Zhao Liewen directly poured cold water and said, "Why don't you want to think about it?" If the imperial court lets you, the impeacher, take over the position of the impeached person, then the governors of the provinces will have to desperately collect evidence of the governor's crimes as if they were crazy? In order to protect themselves, the governors can only desperately collect the evidence of their subordinates' crimes, so the world must not be in chaos? How could the imperial court tolerate such a situation? ”

"Also, ask yourself, with your current age and seniority, are you qualified to take over as the governor of Huguang? Even if there is really no one available in the imperial court, or if you want to find an official who is familiar with the situation in Huguang to take over as the governor of Huguang, you still have Luo Bingzhang on your head, his age, qualifications, merit and ability, that can't overpower you? ”

was very embarrassed by Zhao Liewen's piercing words, Wu Chaoyue could only laugh embarrassedly, and changed the topic: "It doesn't matter if I can take over as the governor of Huguang, I want to be the governor of Huguang, in fact, I am annoyed with the official documents, that old and immortal man and woman eat all, and the gloomy one specializes in stabbing knives in the back, and the means of pulling one faction to fight another faction are clever, which makes me tremble even if I want to expand the number of Fu Biao." The new Hua Shana, we don't expect him to be towards us everywhere, just ask him not to be like the official and calculate behind my back all day long. ”

"Weiting, if I'm not mistaken, when you were in the capital, you should have seen Hua Shana, right?" Zhao Liewen asked: "What are his preferences and personality traits, do you know?" ”

Wu Chaoyue was even more embarrassed, and said truthfully: "When I was in the capital, I was not interested in being an official, so I didn't pay much attention to meeting my boss and knowing my colleagues, and I didn't even run to the mansion of the sixth prince once, so I didn't see Hua Shana, and I didn't know what hobbies and personality traits he had." ”

When Zhao Liewen heard this, he smiled bitterly, so he could only do his duty as a chief of staff, and hurriedly sent people to ask Ma Xiuru, Li Qinggu, Duoshan and others about the situation of Huashana, so as to do what he liked and help Wu Chaoyue deal with the upcoming new boss Huashana.

…………

When Wu Chaoyue and Zhao Liewen drilled around the mountains and made holes to inquire about the situation in Huashana, the official Wen who was also in the city of Hubei Province also knew the news that his black gauze hat was about to land.

Disgusting Zeng Guofan is easy to do, he has forced Zeng Guofan to agree to send troops to save Jiangxi before, before leaving office, as long as he forces Zeng Guofan to send troops to Jiujiang, and then say hello to Wen Jun, the governor of Jiangxi who has always had a good relationship, Wen Jun, who is known for being tricky and mean, has a way to clean up Zeng Guofan, who dares to bully the lord with guests.

Disgusting Luo Bingzhang is also easy to do, before the skin is ridiculous, unable to withstand the repeated persecution of the official document, in the case of uncertain whether the official document will fall, Wu Chaoyue and Luo Bingzhang were still forced to agree to the official document to expand the Huguang army to 60,000 expansion plan, and each bear half of the military salary, money and food. Before leaving office, as long as the official document seized the time to let the Military Aircraft Department approve this plan, it was enough to make Luo Bingzhang, who was short of money and food, sick for a lot of time.

There is nothing to be done about Wu Chaoyue's official documents, neither can he catch Wu Chaoyue's handle, and he can't think of any good way to make Wu Chaoyue deflated. But fortunately, just when Guan Wen racked his brains and couldn't come up with any ideas, a letter of help came unexpectedly to remind Guan Wen - without knowing that Guan Wen was about to fall, his old friend Seng Lingqin sent a letter asking Guan Wen to help purchase a batch of horse sharp revolvers equipped with Wu army cavalry in Hankou. At the same time, Seng Lingqin also clearly told Guan Wen that he was shy in his pockets now, and he had to ask Guan Wen to help him cushion the silver first, and then try to repay it when he relieved himself.

"God help me!"

The letter of the monk and the prince was like a spiritual light, which illuminated the whole body of the official platform at once, because the official text suddenly thought that Hua Shana and the monk Wang Ye are both Mongolians and are naturally close, and at the same time, Hua Shana and the monk Wang Ye have a hobby of calligraphy and poetry, and the words must be easier to speculate. And as long as he made Hua Shana and the monk Wang Ye into a pair, with the degree of mutual hatred between the monk Wang Ye and Wu Chaoyue, Hua Shana and Wu Chaoyue can live in peace in Huguang, unless the sun comes out of the west.

Then, the official system station immediately thought of a way to let Hua Shana and Wu Chaoyue completely turn their faces when they met - affected by the war, the arms trade in Hankou was basically priceless, but any arms would be snapped up immediately. And Wu Chaoyue's Daye Gun Bureau established by himself can produce a small number of revolvers, as long as he can lure Hua Shana to reach out to Daye Gun Bureau, Wu Chaoyue, a little hedgehog, will definitely tie Hua Shana's hands full of blood.

Thinking of this, taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time, the official document immediately became active, and immediately wrote a letter to Seng Greenqin to explain the situation of his imminent departure, and also told Monk Greenqin about the arms situation in Hankou, so that Monk Greenqin knew that only Wu Chaoyue had arms in his hand, and suggested that Monk Greenqin take the opportunity that Huashana must pass through Henan to go south, and make every effort to curry favor with Huashana to his side, and then he could get the weapon in Wu Chaoyue's hand through Huashana.

In the end, the official document also viciously instigated Seng Greenqin, saying that although the Daye Gun Bureau was established by Wu Chaoyue with his own funds, such an important yamen could not be directly controlled by the Manchu court, and Yu Jiangshan Sheji would definitely not be a good thing. At the end, Guan Wen put down the brush and said with a cruel smile: "Little barbarian, even if you make appropriate concessions in order to please Huashana, it is useless, with the virtue of Monk Greenqin, it is strange if you don't stare at your Daye Gun Bureau to death in the future!" ”

…………

Luo Bingzhang and Zeng Guofan, who were forced to jointly impeach Guan Wen, were also all thinking about such a question after receiving the news that Hua Shana took over as the governor of Huguang - no boss would like to play a subordinate with a small report, there is a precedent for impeaching Guan Wen, as long as Hua Shana is not stupid, he will definitely be wary of himself after taking office, and it is impossible to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him.

And there is also a way to let Hua Shana know, that is, to let Hua Shana know who is the culprit of the fall of Guanwen, it is the bad kind who secretly leaked the news that Guanwen sat on the ground in the Hankou tea trade, and who had already obtained the evidence of the crime but withheld it, and took it out at the critical moment to blackmail his colleagues to impeach his boss!
