Zhang Xiaoqi was annoyed that Guo Zhiqi refused to come forward, Guo Zhiqi was annoyed that Zhang Xiaoqi was stubborn, did things regardless of priorities, and added chaos to the court, so the two of them did not talk speculatively for more than half a sentence, and they couldn't talk together. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After coming out of Guo's mansion, Ma Anmin, Wang Wanda, Zhou Shengmin and others all looked sad, and most of the officials who came with them had already lost their fighting spirit, and Shoufu refused to come forward, so what else did they fight. Zuo Shaowu is also the elder brother of His Royal Highness Jianguo, and they are also asking for trouble for the Son of Heaven who is hiding in Myanmar to oppose the Jianguo. You know, they are now eating Zhou Shixiang, taking Zhou Shixiang, if it weren't for Zhou Shixiang, Hugh said that they could be above the court, and they would not be caught by the Qing army or their ancestors would burn high incense. It stands to reason that these people always have to think of the benefits of Zhou Shixiang, but they don't, this is really contrary to common sense, and in terms of loyalty and justice, I am afraid that it cannot be explained.

In fact, the reason is very simple, they all say that they are full of warmth and lust. Desire, these people are full of warmth and trouble, as if they don't make a fuss and can't prove their existence. These people are not making trouble without purpose, they are really worried that after the Shao case is rehabilitated, there are some Tang King and the Son of Heaven who will part ways, but there are not many, and more people who are involved in this matter point to the fact that this trouble can win some practical benefits for their official hats.

In other words, these people followed Zhang Xiao to make trouble, just to make a noise, so as to force Zhou Shixiang to return some power, so that their officials could do a good job, so that they raised their hands in favor of their son-in-law to rehabilitate their father-in-law, so they were all happy. Like this official now, he is really a chicken rib, he can't eat meat, it's a pity to lose it, and it's really boring to do it.

You are all ambitious people, and this daily order and timely payment is not the life they want. Reading the books of sages, being a scholar, and pointing out the country is happy.

Zhang Xiaoqi is also worried, you must know that if Guo Zhiqi, the first assistant, leads hundreds of officials to make trouble, rises up and attacks the Zhou party, and resolutely opposes the rehabilitation of Shaowu, it is impossible for His Royal Highness to be unmoved, and it is impossible for Zhou Shixiang not to soften. But now Guo Zhiqi refuses to come forward, although there are still people who are willing to fight with him, but the number of people will inevitably be greatly reduced, so that the influence will be greatly weakened, and in the end it may disappear, which is very unfavorable to the current situation.

Zhang Xiaoqi was a little anxious, and even the city wall told him to send someone over, but he didn't see him for a long time, but he didn't know if the second assistant had changed his mind. Zhou Shengmin and Wang Wanda are hardcore Yongli factions, and the two of them saw Zhang Xiaoqi's sad face, and then thought of Guo Zhiqi's attitude as a scholar of the Yongli Dynasty, and they were a little depressed.

When he was depressed, Zhang Xiaoqi suddenly perked up and looked ahead expectantly. Everyone then looked over, but it was Cheng Bangjun, the former head of the Ministry of War, who came to Guangzhou last year on behalf of the Yongli Imperial Court, but for some reason offended Zhou Shixiang, and Tang Wang has not been able to use it since he took charge of the country. It was still the city wall that said a few words for him from His Royal Highness the Prison State, so that he was able to take up the post of military department.

There was another person who came with Cheng Bangjun, but it was Qin Rong, the former deputy envoy of Guangdong for criminal prosecution. This Qin Rong and Cheng Bangjun also offended Zhou Shixiang, but it may be that he offended Zhou Shixiang too ruthlessly, Cheng Bangjun had to be reinstated, but he didn't, and now he is helping to give advice at the city wall of the second auxiliary city, waiting for the day when he can be recovered.

After Qin Rong and Cheng Bangjun came, they saluted everyone one by one, and then whispered a few words with Zhang Xiaoqi, Zhang Xiaoqi let out a long laugh after hearing it, swept away the previous depression, and had a sense of certainty. Zhou Shengmin and Guo Tianxu were all confused, and they glanced at each other, not knowing what Qin Rong and Zhang Xiaoqi said, which made him change in an instant.

"This is Mount Tai at the top, the face does not change, worthy of the person who once reprimanded the five tigers!"

Wang Wanda admired Zhang Xiaoqi more and more, and felt a little ashamed, feeling that if he was Zhang Xiaoqi, he was afraid that he would never be as calm as him.

Zhou Shengmin glanced at the gate of Guo's mansion and said to Zhang Xiaoqi: "Zhang Gong, you can still laugh because of it." Alas, you shouldn't have talked to Ge Lao like that, now that Ge Lao's road is completely broken, I really can't think of any other way to save it. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqi stared at Zhou Shengmin and said, "Could it be that Lord Zhou thought that I would watch the reverse case overturned, so he was disheartened?" ”

"Don't hold it anymore, Your Highness is not moved by your performance, Guo Ge Lao is unwilling to come forward to preside, the court and Zhou Party are powerful, and we are now also willing to kill thieves, and we have no power to return to the sky."

Guo Tianxu is a little pessimistic, he has enthusiasm, but after hitting a wall everywhere, it is inevitable that he will feel powerless. In fact, Mr. Guo really has no ill feelings towards Zhou Shixiang, but supports it very much, but he was the head of the Ministry of Rites of the Chongzhen Dynasty before he sent to the office, and he talked about a ceremony in everything, and the Shaowu reversal case was determined by the Emperor of Yongli, and it involved the dispute between Tang and Gui, and it also affected the relationship between the current Liangguang regime and the Yongli court hiding in Burma, so Mr. Guo considered the overall situation from what he thought was on Zhang Xiaoqi's side, thinking that Shaowu should not overturn the case, so as not to fight Tang Gui again.

"I'm not strong, but I'm sure I'm going to win." Zhang Xiaoqi's face showed a very confident expression. Qin Rong and Cheng Bangjun also laughed and did not speak.

Ma Anmin said in disbelief: "Zhang Gong is saying that you still have a move?" ”

Wang Wanda's heart was lifted, and he said: "What else does Zhang Gong have to do, tell us quickly." ”

Zhang Xiaoqi nodded, glanced at the porter, and said in a low voice: "If I guessed correctly, Guo Ge must have been coerced by Zhou Shixiang." He thought that Guo Ge Lao would stand by and watch, and it would be impossible for us people to set off any more storms... Hmph, but he thought it well, but he shouldn't forget how I scolded the Five Tigers back then! ”

Scolding the Five Tigers is the most proud thing in Zhang Xiaoqi's life, he has always been innocent and straightforward, and he is not afraid of power. In the fourth year of Yongli, after fleeing to Wuzhou with the Son of Heaven, he discussed with the courtiers to get rid of the five tigers of the dynasty. The so-called Five Tigers refer to the five ministers who were attached to Li Yuanyin, the son of Dongxun Li Chengdong, at that time, namely Yuan Pengnian, the imperial historian of the capital, Liu Xiangke of Shaozhan, Ding Shikui, Jin Bao, and Meng Zhengfa. Later, because of the meritorious work of impeaching the Five Tigers, Zhang Xiaoqi was promoted by Emperor Yongli to the right of the imperial history, and the governor of Gao, Lei, Lian, and Qiong.

Qin Rong and Cheng Bangjun brought Zhang Xiaoqi a good idea that the second assistant Lianchengbi came up with, that is, to mobilize the gentry, students, and the common people to unanimously oppose Shaowu's reversal of the case, so that there is opposition in the court and opposition from the people, Tang Wang and Zhou Shixiang can't risk the world's disapproval, and insist on rehabilitating Shaowu regardless of public opinion.

"Gentry students?" Ma Anmin was confused, where did the gentry students come from in Guangzhou?

Zhang Xiaoqi laughed: "It seems that Ma Gong has not been outside the city these days, and he doesn't know the suffering of the people." ”

Guangzhou was slaughtered by the Qing army, when the Ming Dynasty officials and gentry in the city were all killed, and later Shang Kexi in order to enrich the city of Guangzhou, ordered to move a group of gentry from all over the country to Guangzhou, plus the families of the officials who came with the Qing army, which formed the new gentry class of Guangzhou City, but unfortunately the Taiping army slaughtered Guangzhou overnight, and the gentry who were loyal to the Qing Dynasty were killed in a blink of an eye. And most of the gentry in the city who can be called gentry are the people who followed the Taiping army all the way, these people have long been closely tied to the Taiping army, and the Yongli officials in Guangzhou after the Tang Dynasty are not all the way.

Ma Anmin was very sure that there were not many gentry students in the city, and if there were, he would not mess with Zhou Shi with them, but Zhang Xiaoqi was full of confidence and said that there must be. Ma Anmin and the others were doubly confused, and after Qin Rong's prompting, they suddenly realized.

To be precise, it is not that there are gentry students in the city of Guangzhou, but that there are a group of gentry students outside the city of Guangzhou who are very dissatisfied with the Taiping Army and Zhou Shixiang. Almost all of them were because of the "building villages and establishing townships" movement in their hometowns, and the old gentry whose own interests were infringed upon, were also landlords and tyrants who were often talked about by Zhou Shixiang, and they were not enlightened people. And those students participated in the Taiping Army's Guangdong Township Examination, but found that after they were lifted, the Taiping Army not only did not give them official jobs, but let them go to the school to re-study.

There are a total of four or five hundred people in this gang, and they were originally honest, but they were not honest after they went to the government to stage a drama of "who dares to sue the official", and they also became honest. But since they heard that His Royal Highness the Tang King of the Ming Dynasty was in charge of the country in Guangzhou, and that there was a new court of the Ming Dynasty in the city of Guangzhou, the handsome thief of the Taiping Army who killed the heavens could not cover the sky with one hand, one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, they gathered in Guangzhou from all directions, hoping to sue the emperor and regain everything they had lost from the Taiping army.

For these people, Zhou Shixiang also has a very apt name, that is, "return to the hometown group", and for these landlords and gentry who want to continue to fish and meat in the township, do not pay grain in the Ming Dynasty, but pay grain in the Qing Dynasty, Zhou Shixiang's opinions to various places are very clear, ignore them, and let them fend for themselves, but if it is found that there are secretly plotting rebellion and inciting rebellion in the township, they must be suppressed. The same is true for those who refuse to accept new learning, if you can't learn new learning, you don't have a major, this official can't let you do it. You can return to your hometown with a meritorious reputation, and the government will still exempt you from taxes according to the treatment of people in the previous dynasty, and give you a certain status in the township, but if you want to see things in the palm print, don't even think about it.

The old gentry and the students who refused to learn the new school made trouble several times in the city of Guangzhou, and Jiang Qingzhi, the prefect of Guangzhou, was scolded several times by Zhou Shixiang for this, gritted his teeth, and simply drove all these people out of the city and did not let them enter the city. I thought that these people had been outside the city for a long time, and they always woke up, lost patience and went back obediently, but they didn't want these people to suddenly gather together, and under the guidance of the court officials, they ran to the palace of the prison to block the door and make trouble, claiming that Tang Jianguo would not kneel and leave if he did not stay in the middle to pursue the chapter of Emperor Shaowu, and he also wanted Tang Jianguo to punish the "lucky villain" in the table. The "lucky villain" in the above table must refer to Ding Zhixiang, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that these four words are more suitable for Zhou Shixiang.

It's a big deal. (To be continued.) )
