Chapter 695: Inch by Inch
Hundreds of gentry and students united with dozens of court officials to make trouble together, plus those ordinary people who didn't know the truth, the momentum was definitely stronger than a hundred songs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoEven if it still can't stop Shaowu from overturning the case in the end, Zhang Xiaoqi and others, who are in the lead, will definitely gain fame and fortune and become famous all over the world. And Zhou Shixiang will become a lucky villain in the mouth of the people in the market, so when the news came over, Zhou Shixiang was very annoyed, and felt that Zhang Xiaoqi's gang was really shameless, and he had repeatedly signaled that this matter should not be made again, but these people had to make an inch, and they had to fight with him to the end, which was quite inappropriate for him as a "thief showman".
It's only three things, Zhou Shixiang feels that it is necessary to take some measures, otherwise these people will be against him, when will it be a head. He regretted a little, he shouldn't have promised King Tang in Wencun to let Lian Chengbi and Zhang Xiao go up to Guangzhou. Facts have proved that these two people came to Guangzhou with 10,000 dissatisfaction with him Zhou Shixiang, and the Yongli Dynasty officials who are full of large and small Jiuqing Yamen have a backbone and integrity, or they would have been lowered to the Qing Dynasty a long time ago, but the problem is that these people are really pedantic, and the country has reached this point.
Party strife, Song Xianggong pointed out that what is happening in the court at the moment is actually party strife. In the past, it was the Qi Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Chu Party, and then the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party, and then the Tang Party, the Gui Party, the Lu Party, the Qin Party and the Jin Party, and now the Yongli Party and the Zhou Party. Regardless of whether Zhou Shixiang admits it or not, in the eyes of the world, he and the civil and military officials loyal to him are the same party.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there is no faction in the party, and it is strange. Forming a party is not a bad thing, but the bad thing is that these people who form a party do not distinguish between right and wrong, and obstruct the overall situation for their own interests. What is the biggest thing about the Tang regime at the moment? It's the Northern Expedition! Who is the real enemy? It's Manchu! Therefore, no matter what purpose, what reason, or what righteous name is used as an excuse, as long as it directly or indirectly affects the great cause of the Northern Expedition, there is no distinction between right and wrong.
Zhou Shixiang rarely lost his temper, this time he smashed the bowl and scolded Zhang Xiaoqi for being a bastard, so frightened that Shi Yuanling, who came with Geng Jingzhong and Geng Zhaozhong to ask for a meeting, didn't even dare to enter the door.
Shi Yuanling's purpose was to ask Zhou Shixiang to withdraw the order to let his eldest son Jingzhong serve in the Northern Expeditionary Army. Just three days ago, Zhou Shixiang had no opinion on Geng Jingzhong, who had reached the age of 16, and felt that this kid had grown up, so the next day Geng Jingzhong received an order to serve as a guard lieutenant in the C Brigade of the Third Town of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
The rank of guard captain is 100 households, and he is the low-level military attache of the Taiping Army, commanding 245 soldiers. In the Taiping Army, there has never been a 16-year-old boy who has served as an officer of a hundred households, that is, Yu Youming, the son of Yu Shizhong, the commander of the Guangxi Field Army, is just an ordinary soldier with a spear in his hand, but Geng Jingzhong can serve as a guard captain in a hundred households, of course, because of the relationship between his mother and Zhou Shixiang. It stands to reason that this can be regarded as the reuse and cultivation of Zhou Shi relative to Geng Jingzhong, as soon as he enters the barracks, he is a hundred households, young and young, and he will not be able to be a thousand households and commanders in the future?
I never thought that after Shi Yuanling heard about his son's appointment, she was unwilling to live or die, and she had never taken the initiative to see Zhou Shixiang, she rarely came to the door, crying and making trouble, begging Zhou Shixiang to take back her life. Zhou Shixiang had no choice but to persuade him, saying that Jingzhong was also 16 years old, not a child, and a manly husband should kill the enemy on the battlefield and serve the country with military achievements. In a word, Zhou Shixiang was determined to send Geng Jingzhong to the battlefield.
Shi Yuanling couldn't move Zhou Shixiang, so he turned to Lin Wan'er, where did Wan'er dare to ask about this matter, and he mentioned Zhou Shixiang twice, and was scolded by Zhou Shixiang twice. Shi Yuanling was unwilling, and took Jingzhong and Zhaozhong to break into the hall again, but he heard the sound of smashing bowls from a distance in the hall, and suddenly a spirit was excited, knowing that now was not the time to enter.
"Mother, let's go, don't go to ask grandpa. The child is also older, and his father rode a horse with his grandfather at this age, and the child is a child of the Geng family and the eldest brother, so he should make meritorious contributions, so that his mother and younger brother can enjoy the blessings of the child in the future. ”
When Geng Jingzhong spoke, his eyes kept staring at the meeting hall. Shi Yuanling sighed, and saw that Xiang Rong, the steward, and a slightly chubby man not far away were looking at her mother, snorted slightly, and pulled the second son to turn around.
Xiang Rong saw it from afar, smiled, looked around, and then whispered to the chubby man beside him: "The matter of Gui Yibo will bother the ambassador." ”
"The handsome's business is my business, since the handsome means, my side will naturally do it properly."
Zhang An's face was expressionless.
..............
In the conference hall, Gui Yongzhi, Dong Changqing, Ding Zhixiang and others stood there, and they didn't dare to make a sound. The superior has the majesty of the superior, Zhou Shixiang himself may not feel it, but as his status gets higher and higher, there is his own majesty invisibly, sometimes even if the tone is a little heavier inadvertently, the people below will be very frightened in their ears.
Is it true that we must learn from Sun Kewang to completely empty the imperial court, take the military marshal's mansion as the main government of the country, monopolize power, and kill those who do not open their eyes at every turn, so that the courtiers can silence their words, not drag the Northern Expedition back, and let themselves concentrate on dealing with the Manchus?
Zhou Shixiang sulked, Wang Shirong, who had only been released from prison for less than ten days, seized the opportunity for himself to soar from this incident, and he boldly stepped forward and said: "The big handsome don't actually have to worry about those people, I have a plan, but I don't know if the big handsome is willing to accept it?" ”
Zhou Shixiang glanced at this strategist who had advised Wu Sangui in history, and spit out a word: "Say!" ”
Wang Shirong glanced in the direction of the palace and said in a deep voice: "Actually, if you want to shut up these people, the best way is to make them disappear!" ”
"Disappear?"
Gui Yongzhi and they were all shocked when they heard this, this Wang Shirong is a little poisonous, this is not one or two people, but hundreds, among which there are many court officials, how can this be said to be killed? If you really want to kill it, wouldn't you sit in the name of the handsome and domineering, what does His Royal Highness the Prison State think? What do the anti-Qing soldiers and civilians in the world think?
Ding Zhixiang is an old minister of Shaowu, although he is now a member of the Zhou Party, but he still has feelings for Tang Wang in his heart, he is afraid that Zhou Shixiang will really listen to Wang Shirong's bastard idea that came out of nowhere, and kill the court officials, which will inevitably cause Tang Wang's anger, he is very tricky to be caught in the middle, so he is busy stepping forward to persuade Zhou Shixiang not to adopt Wang Shirong's strategy, and to appease Zhang Xiaoqi and the officials and gentry as the best policy.
Zhou Shixiang was noncommittal, and only ordered people to prepare horses, and he wanted to see what Zhang Xiaoqi wanted to do. The blind man Li ordered the guards and ran towards the palace. (To be continued.) )
