Without the suppression of official documents, will Zeng Guoquan cut Liu Xian hard?

The answer is absolutely yes.

Zeng Guoquan, who was in power, took advantage of his own paper to get rid of the prestige of official documents, and before the new governor of Huguang arrived in Wuchang, he could run rampant like an eight-clawed crab in Hubei.

His tricks to deal with Liu Xian soon came down, and after transferring Peng Yucheng and other tens of thousands of Hunan troops back to Jiangnan, he lost the entire vast area of Jiangbei to Liu Xian's defense.

That's more than a thousand miles wide. From Huangzhou in the east, to Yunyang in the west, it passes through Hanyang, De'an, and Xiangyang, a total of five prefectures. All of them are within the scope of the plundering of the Twist Army, and Zeng Guoquan is obviously difficult to be a strongman.

Liu Xian received this order, and the only thing he was pleased with was that the Twist Army had just been driven to Anhui by himself.

In October, after entering Beijing, the official document was dismissed from his post and handed over to the ministry. However, it was soon changed to a fine of ten years, managing the criminal department, and the Mongolian capital of the White Banner, and Jian was appointed as the governor of Zhili, and continued to be his feudal official.

It must be known that without the maintenance of incorruptible silver, the Manchu first-class officials were only 215 taels a year, and the fine of 10 years was only more than 2,000 taels, and the governor's annual maintenance of incorruptible silver was as high as 15,000 taels.

Liu Xian, who had been in Xiaogan for more than a month, suddenly looked good and immediately sent someone to Baoding. 【Naoli Governor's Residence】

However, Liu Xian's Taoism in officialdom is still too low. On the third day when he sent people to Baoding, Zhang Shouyan came to the Xiaogan Qin army camp.

Looking at the name, this member of the Zhang family is the same generation as Zhang Shoudai. Although he is two years younger than Liu Xian.

Zhang Shouyan: The word star companion, the grandson of Zhang Quan, the son of Zhang Yanshou, the cousin of Zhang Shoudai, and the fifteenth grandson of the Zhang family of Haifeng. At the same time, he is also the uncle of Liu Xian's fiancée Zhang Miaotong.

In turn, he is closer than Zhang Shoudai and Liu Xian. But in terms of majesty, the twenty-four-year-old Zhang Shouyan can't even reach one-tenth of Zhang Shoudai's. Zhang Shouyan, who is only a talent now, is even a little restrained in front of the niece and son-in-law of Admiral Yipin, who met for the first time.

"This is a handwritten letter from the official station. Yuan Du has seen it first! Zhang Shouyan stabilized his mind and took out the official letter in his arms. The Zhang family would not send a disciple to see Liu Xian for no reason. During the more than a year of marriage with Liu Xian, Zhang Shoudai was the only one who had close contact with some of Liu Xian's military and political secrets, and then the various conveniences and help provided by Zhang's efforts.

The Zhang family never expressed his intention to send his sons and relatives into Liu Xian's army.

The eunuch clan, which has lasted for three hundred years, has a set of guidelines for their own survival. And how to get along with your own in-laws is undoubtedly a very important part of that set of guidelines.

Maybe the Zhang family will not pay so much to all the in-laws, but Liu Xianam's current status and strength in his hands are undoubtedly worthy of Zhang's different eyes and treated separately.

Just when the official document went to Beijing through the waterway and passed through Shandong, the Zhang family had already sent a generous Cheng Yi. The official document entered Beijing to discuss the crime, and then got rid of the crime, and then sat in the position of the governor of Zhili, and the Zhang family sent a congratulatory gift. These two cents of money were given to each other, all in the name of Liu Xian. Zhang Shouyan was the person who handled the second congratulatory gift, so he got the official letter.

Liu Xian was very enthusiastic and happy about Zhang Shouyan's arrival, which was simply the best 'bridge' for him to strengthen the old relationship with Zhang's relatives and friends.

Zhang Shouyan, who is twenty years old, has a handsome appearance, talks and behaves with a common demeanor, and is completely the best 'diplomat' given to Liu Xian by God. What's more, he knows the roots, and he is obviously the microphone for Zhang's to deliver Liu Xian's confidential news.

There were no over-the-top words in the official letter, but he just asked Liu Xian to be patient and be fair.

"Fifteenth uncle, Zeng Guoquan's impeachment participation is conclusive, why is the imperial court treating him so favorably?"

Liu Xian called Zhang Shouyan's fifteenth uncle, because Zhang Shouyan ranked fifteenth among the Shouzi generation of Zhang's lineage. He roughly swept the handwritten letter of the official text, and looked up to ask Zhang Shouyan. In addition, he folded the letter paper and pinched it between his thumb and index finger without any solemnity.

"There have been rumors in Beijing that it is related to Zeng Futai's excerpt." Liu Xian frowned and didn't notice it when he asked, because of his actions and the direct call by name of the official document, Zhang Shouyan's expression on the other side changed very much.

It is rumored that Lord Zeng pointed out in the recital that the official document had "bribed the party to be shun", which was the remnants of the party. These four words can be said to have hit the taboo of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and King Gong. In that year, the two palaces and King Gong joined forces to kill Su Shun and punish the backbone, which has caused a great change in the blood of the entire military aircraft department. Just because he was afraid of causing a shock in the government and the opposition, he only grasped the culprit and did not investigate the rest of the party, which can be said to be both wise and helpless.

If you follow the clues provided by Zeng Futai, I am afraid that the answer you get is not only the remnants of the party, but also the obscurity of the Xinyou coup d'état that year.

In the past five years, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Prince Gong have always been secretive about Xin You, how can they allow Lord Zeng to turn over old accounts again? Moreover, the official system is a noble white flag, and it has made great contributions to quelling the long-haired rebellion, so it is logical to start with a light hair. ”

Zhang Shouyan came this time not only because of the official letter, but also brought Liu Xian a bigger news - the official text is likely to find someone to participate in Zeng Guoquan.

This Zeng Laojiu is no better than his brother Zeng Guofan, a bad debt, it is very easy to join him. "The official document is not afraid of causing criticism?" Liu Xian's eyelids jumped. As soon as he came ashore, he thought about kicking his opponent into the water, how bold and fat the official document should be.

"Is there less slander on him?" Zhang Shouyan snorted coldly. Then he said to Liu Xian solemnly: "With his temperament, this matter is very likely." ”

Having lost the territory, contacts and resources that have been in business for eleven or twelve years, although he has kept his black hat, how can the character of the official man swallow this breath lightly? Come and don't be rude. He's going to make a move.

Liu Xian was silent for a while, and a comfortable smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Looks like my hard days are coming to an end." Next, you just need to guard against the twisted army and sit back and watch the incident.

"You'd be the best if you had it. Don't get mixed in. Guan Wen was defeated before, but he was a banner man and made a comeback in a blink of an eye. Zeng Guoquan also has a chance to be planted, but he also has the Hunan Gang behind him and the behemoth of the Hunan Army. If you want to start again, you can get it with a backhand.

You're different. Even though he is the governor of a province, he has more than 10,000 heavy soldiers, which is very prominent. But compared with these two forces, it is also as light as a goose feather. ”

"Bear with me for now. If it is fast, it is this month, and if it is slow, it will not be able to celebrate the New Year's Festival, and Zeng Guoquan will fall. ”

……

Zeng Guoquan in Wuchang City. At this time, he was bored and puzzled and put down the urgent letter sent by his brother Zeng Guofan.

-- From now on, I will ask for myself, and do it earnestly, so that there will be no day of great stretching after the Great Moat?

What do you think, brother? Why do you want me to give up my office? Zeng Laojiu was depressed.
