In the second half of the night, the city of Guangzhou was completely quiet.

Li Zhen temporarily took office in the mansion where Bao Ling lived, and issued one order after another to control the power of purging Baigui in Guangzhou City. When Huang Shihai, Yang Banhou, Qi Zhenhai, Lu Shaochuan, Smith and others came back from their mission, the rooster crowed, and the sky was already dark.

At this time, Huang Shihai had already sent troops to take charge of the Quartet Gate of Guangzhou City, firmly controlling the city gate in his hands, and he was already the king banner of the city gate.

The era of Pak Gui is a thing of the past.

Huang Shihai and the others were busy all night, their faces were tired, but their eyes were excited.

This battle is refreshing!

Huang Shihai raised his hand and saluted, and then said: "The remnants of the Dashuai City have been cleaned, and 14,000 Qing troops have been captured, and a total of 600 foreigners have been captured. There was only one left, Ye Mingchen, who was imprisoned in the governor's yamen. This old guy sent people to inform him that he wanted the big marshal to meet him. And Ye Mingchen threatened that if we continue to imprison him in the governor's yamen, we will impeach the commander. This old man is not a good thing, just kill him, and say that he died in this war. ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "We have the ability to kill Ye Mingchen, but Ye Mingchen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he must have laid a back move to prevent him from being killed." If Ye Mingchen is really killed, the news will immediately spread all over the sky, and it is not cost-effective. Besides, if Ye Mingchen dies, there will definitely be a new governor of Liangguang, so it is better to keep him. Go and meet the Governor. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Shihai, Yang Banhou and others followed Li Zhen towards Ye Mingchen's governor Yamen.

The governor's yamen was surrounded by Li Zhen's soldiers.

Without Li Zhen's order, Ye Mingchen could not have regained his freedom.

When Li Zhen came to the governor's yamen, the soldiers stationed at the yamen immediately saluted. Li Zhen nodded, and under the leadership of the soldiers, he entered the governor's yamen. I have to say that Ye Mingchen's governor's yamen is different, all built in accordance with Ye Mingchen's hobbies, magnificent and antique. If you don't have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, don't want to decorate this governor's yamen.

After entering the hall, Li Zhen sat down directly in the main seat.

Huang Shihai, Yang Banhou, Smith and other generals sat down one after another and sat on the left and right sides of the hall.

It was as if the governor's yamen was his own home.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, but it was Ye Mingchen who walked in wearing an official uniform, a hat on his head, and a pair of boots with beads on his feet. Ye Mingchen was a little older, but he was in good health, and he walked step by step, quite majestic, and walked into the hall in a hurry. Ye Mingchen stood in the center of the hall, raised his head and looked at Li Zhen with a bright face, but did not speak.

He is the governor of Liangguang, Li Zhen is just a commander, and his status is too far apart.

In his capacity, he naturally did not speak first.

But Li Zhen didn't speak, the golden knife sat under the buttocks of the main seat, as if glued to it, motionless, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. Li Zhen did not have a good impression of Ye Mingchen, because when this old guy was imprisoned in the governor's yamen, he refused to assist him in dealing with Baigui.

With this reason, Li Zhen has put Ye Mingchen on the opposite side.

Li Zhen was sitting, Huang Shihai and others were also sitting, and they didn't take Ye Mingchen in their eyes.

The situation suddenly became weird.

Ye Mingchen is the governor of Liangguang and the master of the governor's yamen. But Ye Mingchen stood in the hall like a guest, but Li Zhen swaggered and sat on the main seat without saying a word, making Ye Mingchen crazy. Ye Mingchen's heart moved, guessing that Li Zhen was because he refused to help at the beginning, so Li Zhen would target him like this.

Thinking of this, Ye Mingchen's heart was cold, and his eyes narrowed slightly. The so-called thunder, rain and dew are Jun'en, no matter what he does, he is the governor of Liangguang, Li Zhen, the governor of Guangzhou, can not complain.

If a small admiral is so arrogant, if he becomes a governor or a governor, will he still have it?

"Ahem! Cough! ”

Ye Mingchen coughed lightly twice and motioned for Li Zhen to stand up.

Li Zhen pretended to be stupid and asked sincerely, "Is the Governor unwell?" ”

The corners of Ye Mingchen's mouth twitched, and his mood was simply terrible.

Ye Mingchen didn't play dumb riddles and said directly: "You are the governor of Guangzhou appointed by the emperor, and this official is the governor of Liangguang appointed by the emperor, and the official position is bigger than you, don't you salute when you see this official?" ”

"Salute?"

Li Zhen hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, and said, "Why do you want to salute?" To whom do you salute? Lord Ye had just returned from the battlefield, and he was dressed in military uniform, so it was inconvenient to salute. ”

Arrogant!

Ye Mingchen said something in his heart, feeling a huge pressure.

This person is the governor of Guangzhou, and his life must be difficult. Ye Mingchen took a deep breath and forcibly endured it, with a smile on his face, he didn't pursue the issue of etiquette, sat down directly in the hall, looked at Li Zhen with a smile and said, "Admiral Li exterminated the foreigners, and destroyed the traitor Baigui." The Governor thought that Bai Gui must be beheaded as an example to the public. What do you think about this matter that the governor has entrusted to you? ”

"No problem!"

Li Zhen didn't figure out what kind of calculation Ye Mingchen was making, but he agreed.

A traitor like Bai Gui doesn't need Ye Mingchen to tell him to do it.

Ye Mingchen's eyes rolled and he said, "Admiral Li, you defeated the foreigners and Bai Gui and successfully completed the emperor's task. The emperor will definitely commend you, especially when the post of governor of Guangdong is vacant, you will definitely be promoted to the official position of governor of Guangdong and promoted again. This official wrote a letter today, suggesting that the emperor should promote Admiral Li as the governor of Guangdong, and arrange another admiral for Canton. ”

Li Zhen said with a smile: "There is also the Governor of Lao!" ”

As he spoke, Li Zhen stared at Ye Mingchen, and his heart was like a mirror.

The old guy clearly wanted to give him a promotion, but he wanted to deprive him of his military power. The governor of Canton was in office and could give orders to the army, but he did not have the right to command. The Governor of Guangzhou was a military attaché, but he controlled the army, even if the Governor of Guangdong commanded the Governor of Guangzhou, but the premise was that the Governor of Guangdong could control the Governor of Guangzhou.

Like Bai Gui meeting Li Zhen, Bai Gui obviously can't command Li Zhen. Ye Mingchen fought this idea, wanting to deprive Li Zhen of his military power, but he didn't know that Li Zhen could not hand over his military power.

This era cannot be without military power.

Li Zhen stood up and said, "Xia Guan came to the Governor's Mansion to see the Governor's physical condition. Today, I was relieved to see the Governor's ruddy complexion. After returning home, the lower officials would also write a letter to report on the battle situation in Guangzhou. The Governor is a good student, and the official will take his leave! ”

With that, Li Zhen turned around and left.

Ye Mingchen watched Li Zhen leave, and a cold gaze flashed in his eyes.

Since his debut, Ye Mingchen has not been disgraced except for this time when he was imprisoned by foreigners. Today, I met Li Zhen demonstrating in the yamen, and I was very unhappy. Ye Mingchen's eyes were cold, and he said: Li Zhen, you are arrogant, wait for the official to write a report and deprive you of your military power, see how arrogant you are. Don't think that you can be arrogant if you defeat foreigners, officialdom is not so mixed.

Ye Mingchen walked towards the study with a flick of his sleeves.

Li Zhen led people away from the governor's yamen, Qi Zhenhai said: "Dashuai, you must have been hated for humiliating Ye Mingchen like this." He is the governor of Liangguang, and it will not be good if he suppresses you. ”

Li Zhen said: "Do you think that if we lower our profile, Ye Mingchen will be good to me?" The old guy is a thief, and it is impossible to allow other forces to appear below. ”

Qi Zhenhai nodded, but he didn't agree much in his heart.
