The edict from the household department arrived at the Caoyun Governor's Palace, followed by a letter written in the name of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet.

This year's Cao grain to transport four million stones, this number makes Gan Xuekuo's legs weak, three million stones are not guaranteed, now there are four million stones, according to the current situation in Huai'an, I am afraid that a grain of grain should not be transported to the north, Ma Shiying and Su Jiancheng and others, is currently the core backbone of the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, as for that Zhang Pu, that is, a mouth, really want to do things, bullshit, the last time I went to Huai'an Wharf, Zhang Pu asked the wharf to move coolies, and learned that the porters can only get about fifty cents a day, scolded those businessmen repeatedly, saying that the businessmen were black-hearted, and it was in front of the public, which made the surrounding businessmen have great opinions, and some coolies also begged Zhang Pu in a low voice not to say more.

Zhang Pu impeached Ma Shiying and others, the crime is rebellion, in this case, still think about Ma Shiying and others to do things, it is impossible, the situation in Fengyang and Yangzhou is also very bad, especially Yangzhou is a place of grain production, these two places, because of Zhang Cai and Yang Yi's appointment, the officials of Fuzhou County Yamen have long been detached from morality and unwilling to do things.

Huguang's battle to exterminate the Liukou may start at any time, and the grain must be transported from March, otherwise it will really delay the big thing, although many merchants are busy transporting grain, but the price of the grain transported by the merchants is much higher than that of the grain, and the imperial court cannot afford it.

Gan Xuekuo's eyes looked at the letter.

The person who sent the letter specifically said that the letter must be made public in the Caoyun Governor's Palace, and that all the prefects and Tongzhi of Huai'an Prefecture must participate.

Gan Xuekuo naturally understood the meaning, but he felt powerless, no matter what the letter said, it didn't mean much. It is almost impossible to transport so much grain from the actual situation in Huaibei, unless Zheng Xunrui can help all the wharves along the Grand Canal to move.

Donglin Book House, it's still those people.

Gan Xuekuo slowly opened the letter. I started reading the contents of the letter.

The expressions of Ma Shiying and the others slowly became soothing, and the expressions of Zhang Pu and the others slowly became iron-blue.

This letter was not written by Zhou Yanru, but was an expression of the overall intention of the cabinet, emphasizing three things, the first thing is to maintain the stability of Huaibei as the first priority, and all matters that conflict with this goal should not be involved, and the second thing is that officials at all levels in Huaibei must unite and do their best. Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Caoyun and the governor of the four prefectures and three prefectures of Huaibei, is in charge of all matters in Huaibei, and all matters must be approved by Gan Xuekuo.

The letter completely repudiated the impeachment of Zhang Pu and others, although there was no mention of impeachment, but maintaining the stability of Huaibei and obeying the leadership of Gan Xuekuo was the most fundamental negation, and the negation was very complete.

The letter also revealed the meaning of blaming Zhang Pu and others. It seems that after Huaibei came, he didn't do anything serious. Thinking of other aspects, the biggest thing in Huaibei now is to restore Caoyun.

Gan Xuekuo was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that the letter was like this, he actually really made up his mind not to be the governor of Caoyun, even if he went home. He didn't want to be roasted on the fire, it didn't taste good, and if he didn't get it, he might end up in prison.

The cabinet's letter is actually the emperor's meaning, and everyone understands this.

The emperor took care of the faces of Zhang Pu and others. There is no decree, and this is also a very clear thing.

However, Zhang Pu and the others were definitely not satisfied, they held back their strength, just thinking about bringing down many of Zheng Xunrui's subordinates, who knew that this punch would go on, and there would be no reaction, but their own hands were shaken and hurt.

However, Zhang Pu and others did not dare to openly oppose it, after all, the emperor gave them face, and this letter also represented the submission of Qian Shiqu and Hou Xun and others, if they didn't buy it, they would be working against the emperor and the court.

It was painful to endure this breath, and the faces of several people were swept away, and their lives in the Governor's Palace would not be easy.

Leaving the Donglin Book House and returning to the public house, Zhang Pu sulked alone, and at this time, Wu Changshi and Gong Dingyu both came in, and Gong Dingyu held a letter in his hand.

Glancing at the payment on the letter, Zhang Pu became excited, this is the handwriting of Mr. Qian Shisheng.

After Gong Dingyu handed the letter to Zhang Pu, he turned around and closed the door of the public house.

Zhang Pu had already opened the letter and began to read it carefully.

Wu Changshi still seemed very calm, as if he had foreseen everything that had just happened, and he didn't have much interest in Qian Shisheng's letter, but at this time, Zhang Pu and Gong Dingyu didn't notice his attitude, and they all went to the letter.

Soon, Zhang Pu read the letter, and there was an excited look on his face.

"It's not that the emperor doesn't pursue Ma Shiying and the others, but he just wants to wait for them to raise grain."

Gong Dingyu hurriedly took the letter, looked at it carefully, and after reading it, a smile appeared on his face.

"I'll just say that the emperor can be indifferent to the rebellion of Ma Shiying and others."

At this time, the two noticed Wu Changshi, who had always been a little too calm.

Wu Changshi also spoke.

"Lord Qian explained this matter in the letter, so I am more relieved, otherwise we would have offended Ma Shiying and others, and we would also have offended Lord Gan,"

When Wu Changshi said this, Zhang Pu's face quickly changed, and Gong Dingyu also had an angry look on his face.

After a while, Zhang Pu spoke.

"I didn't expect that Lord Gan actually submitted his resignation, could it be that he still wanted to hand over Huaibei to Zheng Xunrui, this kind of practice is despicable, and I don't know why Lord Qian and Lord Hou didn't reprimand."

After Zhang Pu finished speaking, Gong Dingyu followed and spoke.

"I think we still have to write a recital, impeach Lord Gan, we came to Huaibei, originally to change the situation here, if it remains the same, then what are we going to do, I can't imagine that Lord Gan retreated, if this attitude, how can we do it in the future, I think it is better to recommend Brother Tianru to be the governor of Caoyun."

Wu Changshi didn't read the letter, but instinctively felt that they had offended Gan Xuekuo, and he didn't expect that Gan Xuekuo really submitted his resignation, which shows that Gan Xuekuo has a great opinion of them.

Wu Changshi was even more unexpected, Gong Dingyu would actually propose to let Zhang Pu be the governor of Caoyun, this is simply a big joke, Zhang Pu was promoted, and became a Li Cao from the third grade to participate in politics, that was originally a special mission, not relying on merit, and now nothing has been done, just thinking about becoming the governor of Caoyun in the second grade, isn't this a dream, I'm afraid that such a fold will make Zhang Pu a laughing stock of everyone.

Fortunately, Zhang Pu is still relatively sober.

"Don't talk nonsense about filial piety, don't mention such things, we came to Huaibei in order to be able to bring down Zheng Xunrui, so that Donglin Academy, Yingshe and Fushe can resettle here, don't mention other things, as for the matter of Lord Gan's resignation, it also has a certain relationship with our twists and turns, I will think about this matter carefully and see how to deal with it."

After Zhang Pu finished speaking, Wu Changshi spoke.

"Brother Tianru, I think we should still ask Lord Qian and Lord Hou to write directly to Lord Gan, they will definitely be able to persuade Lord Gan."

Zhang Pu nodded.

"This is a good idea, it is definitely not appropriate for us to come forward directly, in this way, I will write to Lord Qian and Lord Hou immediately, if Lord Gan can't be with us, the next thing is not very easy to handle."

Gong Dingyu was a little unhappy, he still wanted to be able to impeach Ma Shiying and others.

"I think Lord Gan's opinion doesn't matter, what Lord Gan thought of to ensure the smooth flow of Cao Yun, what we thought of was that Zheng Xunrui must be overthrown, and when Cao Yun is unblocked, I am afraid that it will be in the second half of the year, after such a long time, I am also worried that there may be contact between Lord Gan and Zheng Xunrui."

In fact, among Zhang Pu and other five people, everyone does not pay special attention to Gong Dingyu's opinions and suggestions, Gong Dingyu is young and vigorous, not very open-minded, and the suggestions put forward are very radical, but Gong Dingyu's enthusiasm can still inspire everyone.

But after Gong Dingyu said these words, Zhang Pu's expression changed, and Wu Changshi's expression also changed.

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Pu frowned and spoke.

"What I didn't say is, why didn't I think of this layer, if there is a connection between Lord Gan and Zheng Xunrui, then wouldn't we be passive, I always thought that Lord Gan handed in his resignation because of the relationship we wrote to play, why didn't I think that Lord Gan might have a connection with Zheng Xunrui."

Gong Dingyu saw that his suggestion had an effect, and his excitement immediately rose.

"Therefore, my suggestion must be mentioned in the letters to Lord Qian and Lord Hou."

Wu Changshi glanced at Gong Dingyu coldly, and couldn't help but speak.

"No, this is all speculation, how can it be written in the letter, if there is no such thing, wouldn't we have wronged Lord Gan."

Zhang Pu raised his hand and stopped Wu Changshi from continuing.

"What I said makes sense, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, we still have to remind Lord Qian and Lord Hou in this matter, if there is really a connection between Lord Gan and Zheng Xunrui, then it will be too late."

Wu Changshi was the first to leave Zhang Pu's public house, and his public house was not far from Zhang Pu's.

Back in the room, Wu Changshi closed the door.

In fact, the cabinet's letter explained a lot of problems, at least Wu Changshi understood that the situation in the court was not so simple, and in addition, it was Gan Xuekuo's resignation, how could such a big thing be spread casually, if you want to say that there is no deep meaning in it, the ghost will believe it.
