Chapter 687: Crowding Out and Forcing the Palace
"Mergio, don't be alarmist!"
"Enough, Cabral, I don't want to quarrel with you guys anymore. In the name of the bishop, I order you to return to your church, and in two days there will be a ship to Japan. Cabrral, I appoint you as the preacher of Japan, and go with Louis to preach there! Mark my words and don't play tricks. I am a Vatican-appointed bishop, and I am directly accountable to His Majesty the Pope, even if I am the President, what do you think would have been the result if he had known of the split between the brothers in Macau? ”
Seeing that the two of them finally shut up in a huff, Tie Qing turned his head and left, Jia Nalao couldn't help but take a deep breath. The method of squeezing out dissident priests to preach in Japan is not clever, even disgraceful. However, when the Jesuit Far Eastern Envoy was approaching, he did not want to keep his colleagues around him until the position of the president of the Far Eastern Church was decided, and he only hoped that the Far Eastern Envoy would see a more stable and peaceful situation.
As far as he knew, the envoy was Alexandro, who had been in Goa, India for four years. Van Linano, a native of Naples, although Alessandro did not come from a seminary, joined the Society of Jesus at university and soon became a full priest. It is said that this man was a very keen missionary in the East, and in India he easily learned the local language in more than two years, not only speaking, but also writing. Perhaps he could ask the roving envoy to send more strategic missionaries to China to help him when he arrived in Macao.
Of course, what should be resolved first is the immediate crisis. Otherwise, there will be no future.
"Someone. Go and ask for a priest Francis. I would like to ask him to go to Xiangshan County in person. ”
But above all, hopefully Francis Priest will be able to pass the lotus stalk gate! After all, Francis is the second Portuguese in the entire diocese of Macau besides him to speak a little Cantonese and read some classics. I think that when Father Bellez wanted to enter the Canton mission, he first ate a soft nail from the licensed Australian officer, and then was blocked at the lotus stem gate. The reason is that the other party does not speak Chinese at all.
For Gu Jing, the commander of Xiangshan County, the two corpses of the Franco-Robot sent by the Bishop of Macau, Jia Nailao, were sent. As well as a part of the goods and compensation, it is definitely the icing on the cake for his political achievements. The three small businessmen, who had suffered heavy losses, were overjoyed to see what had been returned and what had been compensated. And the two corpses of the Buddha Lang Jiren outside the county office, as well as the big bucktooth Huang Tianren who was flailed to show the public, made the people in the city applaud.
Since he had obtained such an intangible benefit, after Father Francis, the envoy of Jia Nailao, finally came to the Xiangshan County Ya through the lotus stem gate and respectfully asked to see him, he also very quickly sent Master Cai to deliver a letter to Wang Fulin in person, but when he ran to Zhaoqing Fucheng, he pounced, saying that the patrol had returned to Guangzhou City. Master Cai had no choice but to turn back and go to Guangzhou.
However, when Master Cai found the procuratorate all the way. only to find that a small courtyard street was full of cars and horses, and there was no place to stay. With an extra heart, he could only find a neighborhood outside to inquire, but the answer he got startled him.
"Patrol Wang Ye has just come back, Zhang Fantai, Chen Fantai, Zhang Fantai, Wang Dushuai, Wang Dushuai, Master Zhou, the Grand Master of the Imperial Palace, Zhao County, Liu County, and Cai Tiju, all of them came to visit together, and the officials in Guangzhou City are all here."
Such a big battle?
Master Cai suddenly smacked his tongue secretly. Compared with these big shots, the Dong Weng behind him is just a small point worth mentioning, not to mention that he is just a messenger now, even if Gu Jing comes in person, how dare he go to the door to harass him? So, he could only find a small teahouse near Chayuan Street, pick a clean table and sit down, and then tapped the table with his fingers to bring tea.
There are a lot of tea customers in the teahouse, but there are not many single people like him, so when he is bored, he can only prick up his ears and listen to the discussions of the people around him to relieve his boredom. He has been a master in Guangdong for many years, and his Cantonese dialect is more slippery than that of the locals, so of course there is no problem in listening to people's chats. Finding that most of these people were talking about the newcomer Xiao Wang Xun, who seemed to be facing the entire Guangzhou officialdom, he chuckled in his heart, and was a little hesitant whether there would be any trouble if Dong Weng Gu Jing and Wang Fulin got too close, and suddenly he only heard a woman's voice from upstairs, but it was a straight official language.
"Look, isn't that an urgent courier?"
Messenger? Looking at this direction, could it be that you are going to Chayuan Street?
When the others in the teahouse didn't react, Master Cai Huo Ran got up and rushed out in three or two steps, and sure enough, he saw a rider galloping in front of him, with an emergency post flag behind him, and immediately turned into the chayuan street full of cars and horses. Although he didn't know whether the messenger was from the Liangguang Governor's Mansion in Zhaoqing Mansion or from a more distant place, seeing this scene, he intuitively felt that something might be going to happen in that yamen.
Not only him, but the elegant seat on the second floor, Xiao Bei, who had just poked his head out to watch, retracted his head a moment earlier than Bizhu, and then patted his face lightly, warning himself to calm down, don't worry. But although she knew that Wang Fulin had dealt with the situation of being outnumbered more than once, if she didn't get it right today, she would offend the provincial officials, how could she not worry? What's even more annoying is that Bizhu is strictly guarded, and keeps saying that she is watching you for her uncle, but she can't move, and she doesn't want to repeat her old tricks to climb the wall to the procuratorate to spy on the movement, so she can only wait for the final result from such a distance.
When she reached out to grab her hat and stood up, Bizhu immediately asked, "Miss, where are you going?" ”
"I'm bored here, can't I go for a walk?" Xiaobei raised her eyebrows angrily, and seeing Bizhu's vigilance on her face, she had no choice but to say angrily, "Go to Lianxi Academy and see Mr. Fushan!" I didn't care about running around before, and it would be rude not to see him again! He never said that he was not allowed to see Mr. He, did he? ”
Since it is called the patrol press, of course, it is to patrol and press the inspection, and because of this, the procuratorate has always been only a temporary residence for the patrol and the imperial history, and it is not a place to handle affairs informally.
Arguably. Like today, officials of all sizes in the city of Guangzhou gathered in this small procuratorate. Since the post of Guangdong Inspector appeared for nearly 200 years. It never happened.
Not to mention, there are a lot of people sitting down according to their official positions, and the main owner has been late until now, and I don't know how many people are scolding in their hearts, even Yan Yuan, who can be described as a friend of life and death with Wang Fulin, is frowning at this moment, and he doesn't know what this young friend is thinking. You know, since the news leaked in Xiangshan County before. When Wang Fulin intended to change the existing system of Haojing, even if there were different opinions on the specific details and there was no certainty for the time being, the entire Guangzhou officialdom was still like an earthquake, and there was an uproar.
From the tentative entry of the Portuguese into Ho Kyo, to the later lease and trading, that is, it was more than 20 years, but during this period, the tax system has gradually formed. Most importantly. All the benefits can be equalized, not to mention that everyone's money comes from here. It is no longer like the officials in Beijing and other places, who are in arrears at every turn. If something is really done by Wang Fulin, who can stand that result? Not to mention Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang, even Wang Fulin's backstage, the two bigwigs in the imperial court and military department can't afford that kind of responsibility!
"Someone is coming!"
In the crowded main hall of the procuratorate, when I heard such a reminder, I don't know how many heads with black gauze hats turned around and looked over there, but found that the spotted bamboo curtain of the corner door behind the main hall was raised high, and it was indeed someone who came. Zhang Tingfang and Chen Youjie, the political envoys of the political secretary on the left and right, exchanged glances with each other, thinking that they had heard that Wang Fulin went directly to Zhaoqing Mansion before, and invited Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang, to strengthen his momentum. However, in the face of so many officials in Guangzhou City, even Ling Yunyi, the governor, would definitely not be able to suppress so many voices!
However, when a person appeared from behind the curtain, the officials in the hall found that there was only one Wang Fulin. For them, who were ready to carry the Governor hard, this result was undoubtedly a surprise even more. After all, if there is no accident, no one is happy to face Ling Yunyi, who is the same year as the head of the dynasty and has a very hard background. Therefore, Zhang Tingfang, the political envoy of Zuo Bu, saw Wang Fu Lin Shi Ran walking in, so he sneered: "Wang Xun is really a big shelf, so many people are waiting for you here, but you are late!" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm going to patrol the ten prefectures of Guangdong, and I don't know how many counties there are together, and this time it's rare to come back to this procuratorate in the city of Guangzhou, so naturally I have to deal with all kinds of piles of documents, especially things from Beijing, and it can't be delayed for a moment, so I let you wait for a long time." Speaking of this, Wang Fulin smiled and smiled, but did not sit down, but asked bluntly, "However, I really didn't expect you to come unexpectedly." I don't know what is going on with everyone gathering in the procuratorate today? ”
If you want to say that among so many people, who is most annoyed by the changes brought about by Wang Fulin's private visit to Haojing, then it is definitely Cai Tiju of the City Shipping Division, and the Political Secretary has to move back. Unlike the old practice of the Song Dynasty, which attached great importance to the salt transportation division and the city shipping division, the city shipping division of the Ming Dynasty and the salt transportation division were the same as the salt transportation division, which were turbidity currents that scholars were reluctant to serve, and the city shipping division was even more unpopular than the salt transportation division because of its low grade. Therefore, Cai Tiju is just a person. To say that he and the deputy promotion of Yang De of the city department are still opposed, after all, now that there are few tributes in Guangzhou, he is not as good as the deputy promotion, and Yang De is very soft, but he doesn't know how to divide himself, if he has a way, he would have kicked people away.
So in his mind, Wang Fulin had already revealed the collusion between Yang De and Franco, so the court severely punished him, and at the same time simply moved the city department to Haojing, then he was not transferred, but it was equivalent to vacating a new future. But Wang Fulin actually said that he wanted to move the city department back to Guangzhou and cut off the hand that the city department originally stretched out to Haojing, wouldn't that cut off people's money?
Therefore, after Wang Fulin opened his mouth to ask, he was annoyed by the other party's knowingly asking, so he was the first to pat the armrest angrily: "Wang Xun, why do you want to make a fuss, we are all gathered here, naturally for the sake of those things you made in Haojing!" Yang De......"
"Shouldn't Cai Tiju give me an explanation, an explanation to other officials in Guangdong, and an explanation to the imperial court? It was because he trusted him that the court sent him to Haojing to supervise taxes, but what did he do? In collusion with the Francophone man, he is insatiable, he and Wu Wang, the deputy inspector of the inspection department, are so extravagant in the food and drink in Haojing, I am afraid that even everyone in Guangzhou City will be stunned! Out of such scum, Cai Tiju, as the chief official of the City Division, can't you gently expose it with the word negligence, right? You know, he's a deputy, you're a deputy! ”
Cai Tiju was the first to attack, but he turned into a fire, and the officials below were all surprised. Zhao Haitao, the commander of Nanhai County, learned that Wang Fulin had gone to visit the inspector Yuan, and he was the first to come to the procuratorate to visit the official who inspected the imperial history, and he couldn't help but be secretly envious in his heart at this time. After all, this kind of posture of directly firing at people without scruples, he has been very eager since he came out, but he has never had this opportunity. But other people other than Zhao Haitao are different, even they have visited Wang Fulin, and they have invited people to go to the Pang Governor's Mansion of Lianxi Academy together, even if he doesn't look down on Cai Tiju, he doesn't dare to gloat at this time.
Who knows if the next unlucky person will not be themselves!
Therefore, seeing that Cai Tiju was so angry that he trembled, Zuo Bu's political envoy Zhang Tingfang had to take over Wang Fulin's offensive: "Wang Xun said this badly, Cai Tiju is in Guangzhou, and Yang De, the deputy lifter, is far away in Haojing, hundreds of miles away, he can't reach it, how do you know what people have done?" ”
"Since I don't know, Cai Tiju didn't talk about Yang De first, but reprimanded Benxian for making trouble in Haojing, wouldn't it be a reversal of right and wrong and not distinguishing between black and white? Well, I also know that in the past few days, I think you have also heard all kinds of news from various channels, and I am here, so I will simply open the skylight to you and say what happened in Haojing. ”
Hearing that Wang Fulin dared to reprimand everyone was hearsay, Cai Tiju was certainly angry, and Zhang Tingfang and others also gritted their teeth. But Yan Yuan had already been ventilated by Wang Fulin in private, and he knew what happened to Haojing, so he could also understand why Wang Fulin was so mean - if it was someone else, he was almost slaughtered and detained on the ship as a fat sheep by a group of Francois traitors, and when the time came, he was afraid that there would be a big case of disappearance, where could he not be angry? Sure enough, when Wang Fulin told the truth of the matter in a more wonderful way than the storyteller, there was a moment of silence in the hall.
Finally, the two chief officials of the Political Department had come over after reaching an agreement today, and although they were angry in their hearts, they had to skip the incident of Wang Fulin's robbery. Chen Youjie, the political envoy of the right cloth, said in a deep voice: "If those Francois people in Haojing are lawless, they should naturally be dealt with in accordance with the law, but Wang Xunzhu ignored the summoning of businessmen, acted arbitrarily, and even said that he would change the rules and suspend the commercial market, isn't this because of choking?" ”
Wang Fulin laughed, and the smoke bombs released from all sides finally worked!
