The No. 2 person on the surface of the civilian official of the Taiping Army was scolded on his own turf, and he didn't dare to contradict it, which made Zhou Shixiang inevitably guess that the person who reprimanded Wang Zhangjun was afraid that it was the university scholar Guo Zhiqi, because the voice in the hall was not Song Xianggong's.

Zhou Shixiang did not rush into the chamber, but stopped to listen, trying to understand why Scholar Guo wanted to reprimand Wang Zhangjun. However, it was not the scholar Guo Zhiqi who reprimanded Wang Zhangjun in the hall, but Qin Rong, the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Provincial Prosecution Department who came on behalf of the governor Lian Chengbi.

The procuratorial and political envoys, and the commanders are in charge of the judicial, civil, and military affairs of a province, collectively known as the three divisions. The probationary envoy is the third grade, and the deputy envoy is the third grade. Guangdong since the Yongli two years by the Qing army to break through, the province's official system has been chaotic, at present in Guangdong can be called the governor of the governor Lian Chengbi and the governor of the four provinces Zhang Xiaoqi. Although Lian Chengbi was a scholar, he was not also a governor, so he could not be called a superintendent, and he was invited to come to Guangdong to contact the righteous teachers to resist the Qing Dynasty, so he had no right to interfere in Guangdong's military and judicial affairs.

The Yamen of the Procuratorial Envoy Department moved to Qinzhou with the Governor's Yamen, and Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor of the four prefectures, has been in Gaozhou in recent years, so the Procuratorial Envoy Department became a subordinate of the Governor's Yamen.

Qin Rong is a Jinshi of Chongzhen for 12 years, Jiashen fled from Beijing to the southern capital, served in the Hongguang Dynasty Rite Department, and then went to Fujing to serve, and then went to Zhaoqing to participate in the support of Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, Yongli paid for merit, and appointed him to Guangdong to be sentenced to the deputy envoy. Because he is quite trusted by Lianchengbi on weekdays, Lianchengbi asked him to come to Guangzhou with Guo Zhiqi this time.

Qin Rong didn't challenge Wang Zhangjun for no reason, but there was a reason for it. He and Wang Zhangjun are old acquaintances. And in the same year, they were all Jinshi of Chongzhen's twelfth year, and they fled from Beijing to Nandu together. However, the circumstances of the two were very different after that. Qin Rong is considered a "politically correct" faction, and decisively supported Yongli, a descendant of Shenzong, when Shaowu and Yongli competed that year, while Wang Zhangjun went to Guangzhou to participate in supporting Emperor Shaowu.

After the city of Guangzhou was broken, Wang Zhangjun and the university scholar He Wuyu and others surrendered to the Qing Dynasty together, and were appointed as the prefect of Huizhou by the Qing court. He became a prisoner of the Taiping Army, and then became the Guangdong political envoy of the Ming Dynasty. However, Qin Rong has always been unswervingly an official of the Ming Dynasty, and insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty in Qinzhou together with Lian Chengbi. After knowing that Wang Zhangjun participated in the establishment of Emperor Shaowu in Guangzhou, Qin Rong crossed out Wang Zhangjun's name in the same year's book, and said that he was ashamed to be the same year as such a speculative villain.

The last time he came, Qin Rong didn't see Wang Zhangjun. Therefore, it is not known that this person surrendered to the Taiping army. As a result, Wang Zhangjun and Zuo Qing were dragged by Song Xianggong to receive the scholars of Qincha because they were involved in politics left and right, and as a result, Qin Rong naturally became angry when he saw it.

The reason for Qin Rong's anger was not that Wang Zhangjun defected to the Qing Dynasty, but that he was ashamed of his participation in supporting Shaowu. In the eyes of Qin Rong, a group of officials who supported Emperor Yongli, those who supported Shaowu in Guangzhou back then were all rebel ministers, and they had no integrity at all. They even thought that the officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty could be forgiven, but the gang of people who supported the puppet emperor and the Yongli regime could never be forgiven, but everyone should be punished. This is the Tang-Gui dispute, and it seems that the battle for which is more orthodox is more important than retaking the Ming dynasty from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Qin Rong had a sudden seizure. Guo Zhiqi didn't expect it, and after listening to a few words, he realized that Wang Zhangjun's character was so unbearable. couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, although he didn't take the Tang Gui dispute as a thing, he didn't stop Qin Rong, after all, he also looked down on Wang Zhangjun, a villain who was both renegade and opportunistic.

The scholars were also a little dissatisfied with why Zhou Shixiang wanted to reuse such shameless demotion officials, as for Zhou Shixiang's private political envoy in Guangzhou, but it was a small section, in addition to the holy decree he brought this time in addition to sealing Zhou Shixiang as Xingping Bo, but also considering that Guangdong and Yunnan are too far apart, and there is a Guangxi Qing army in the middle, so Xingping Bo can follow the precedent of Yanping, set up six officials and officials such as probation, publicity, and trial to facilitate governance, and at the same time allow Zhou Shixiang to appoint official positions, military attachés up to two grades, and civil servants up to six department chiefs. With this holy purpose, it is not a big problem for Zhou Shixiang to set up a political envoy privately, as long as he can have a clear subordinate relationship with the Yamen, the governor of Qinzhou.

Song Xianggong and Zuo Qing were also a little embarrassed by Qin Rong's sudden move, the latter was also demoted, although he had not participated in supporting Emperor Shaowu back then, but his heart was also very empty, and Shang Keyuan and Geng Zhongde were also worried that Guo Zhiqi would find trouble with him, so they held their breath and didn't dare to squeak. He was afraid that Qin Rong's attack might have been instructed by Guo Zhiqi, so before he figured out the other party's true intentions, he should let Wang Zhangjun take the lead.

Song Xianggong is the master, and Zhou Shixiang can be the master of all the Taiping Army when he is not there, but Guo Zhiqi, a scholar of the Qin Mission, did not speak, and it was the deputy envoy who came on behalf of the governor Lian Chengbi, and he couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, so it was difficult to dissuade him, so he could only look at it embarrassed.

Qin Rong saw that Guo Zhiqi did not stop him, and the other two people of the Taiping Army did not dare to stop him, so he had confidence in his heart, relying on himself to be the deputy envoy of the real card, so he was aggressive, and spoke harshly to Wang Zhangjun, and directly exposed all the ugly things of the other party, which made Wang Zhangjun ashamed and annoyed, but he couldn't refute it.

The more Qin Rong spoke, the more angry he became, and he put his finger on Wang Zhangjun's head, the clay figure still has three points, and all his ugly things were pulled out by the other party, and he was almost begging for mercy in a low voice, but the other party still didn't let go, Wang Zhangjun was also angry, and said angrily: "Enough!" Even though Wang Mou was wrong in every way, now he has returned to the Ming Dynasty, and he is the right participant in politics of the Political Envoy Division, you are just the deputy envoy of the Inspectorate Division, why should you point fingers at this official! ”

"What right to participate in politics!"

Wang Zhangjun didn't say that it was okay, but when he said it, Qin Rong laughed out loud and ridiculed him: "Since you claim to be a right participant in politics, then Wang can participate in politics with the official register of the imperial court, and can he also have the official seal issued by the imperial court?" ”

"Me"

These words not only made Wang Zhangjun speechless, but also made Zuo Qing's face flutter. The two of them were appointed by Zhou Shixiang to participate in politics left and right, and they had not yet been recognized by the Yongli Imperial Court, even Song Xianggong, the political envoy, was also self-appointed by Zhou Shixiang, so Qin Rong's words made Song Xianggong a little unhappy. Guo Zhiqi also felt that Qin Rong's words were over, and was about to get up, but there was a voice outside.

"Lord Wang was appointed by Ben Shuai to participate in politics, Ben Shuai said that he was him, Ben Shuai said that he was not him, but he did not work for this Lord to say that he was or not."

After Zhou Shixiang, who was dressed in military uniform, came in, he knew that it was not Guo Zhiqi who scolded Wang Zhangjun, because the bachelor in a red robe was still sitting on the chair.

"I've seen the big handsome!"

Song Xianggong and Zuo Qing hurriedly got up and saluted Zhou Shixiang, and Wang Zhangjun also looked at Zhou Shixiang with excitement on his face as if he had seen his father. Zhou Dashuai's words just now clearly supported him, can he not be moved. (To be continued.) )
