Early the next morning, Zhu Qizhen got on the official ship to Guangzhou, although this is not as big as Zheng He's treasure ship, but it does not need too many manpower to start, after Guo Mao's repeated inspections, the personnel are all Jinyiwei and Dong Xing's Beijing army, which is better than safety.

Four hundred miles of mountains and rivers, the green pines and cypresses on both sides of the river are endlessly in front of you, just one day, down the river into Qingyuan City, and then transfer to the carriage, take the land route into the city of Guangzhou.

Along the way, Xiang Wenyao's face was gloomy, no matter what he said, Zhu Qizhen was always reluctant to see him again, seeing that his Wusha couldn't be saved, thinking of this, the lord of the domain couldn't help but feel sad.

And Meng Jian never understood what he said wrong, the basis of these heartfelt words is the situation recognized by everyone, how could the conclusion be wrong?

The happiest is Dong Xing, obviously Zhu Qizhen's impression and attitude towards him are the best, and he has to dangle in front of Zhu Qizhen from time to time, causing Fan Zhong to roll his eyes.

As for Ye Biao, the commander of Shaozhou Mansion, he naturally stayed in his own territory and carried out the salvage to the end.

With the progress of the salvage, Guo Mao became more busy, and combined with the news that Lin Fu came back from Guangzhou, he kept doing comparative analysis.

Finally, the carriage slowly stopped, and Zhu Qizhen, who had been on the boat for a day, was completely relieved at this time, and he just knew that he was still seasick, maybe the boat was too small and shaky.

"Your Majesty, you have arrived at the Yamen of the Political Secretary, you can get off." Xiao Jinqi's voice came from outside the carriage.

Zhu Qizhen deliberately explained not to make a big deal and affect the lives of the people, so he was quiet all the way after entering the city.

There were no officials to greet them, and no people avoided them, but a team of ordinary government carriages entered the city of Guangzhou. It wasn't until the Yamen of the Political Secretary that the surrounding area was considered to be under real martial law, and the residential shops within a radius of several miles had been vacated.

Zhu Qizhen stepped out of the carriage and saw that the big and small officials in Guangzhou City should have arrived, and the figures kneeling on both sides of the road extended to the entrance of the Chengxuan Political Envoy's Office, and there were hundreds of people in Wuyang.

Xiang Wenyao and the three of them had already gotten out of the car in advance, kneeling in front to greet the emperor and prepare to preside over the next ceremony.

Seeing Zhu Qizhen get off the bus, Xiang Wenyao, as the governor of a province, hurriedly took the lead in paying homage: "The ministers knock to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Zhu Qizhen was angry, what is the difference between this Guangdong officialdom and Henan Mansion? One is attached to money and power, and the other is attached to money, which is terrible.

Although the hundred officials knelt down to greet him, it was not easy for him to get to Guangzhou, Zhu Qizhen still snorted coldly without pretense, and did not look at the ministers kneeling at his feet, and walked straight into the political envoys, leaving the hundred officials to look at each other.

Wait until Zhu Qizhen walks into the house

Ya, Li Mao, the envoy of Guangdong, raised his head, pulled the corner of Xiang Wenyao's clothes with a panicked and confused face, and asked, "Lord Fantai, what's wrong with the emperor?" ”

Xiang Wenyao smiled bitterly and said: "You and I are both officials outside the capital, and you and I are inescapable of being blamed in the current form of Guangdong, so we should do our best to support each other and stand on every shift." ”

Li Mao's body trembled, his round little face couldn't help shaking, he changed color, the hand holding the corner of his clothes clenched hard, and said: "It should be, it should be, serve the country, be loyal to the emperor!" Everything is based on the head of the lord of the domain. ”

The two walked away hand in hand, Dong Xing and Meng Jian looked at each other, couldn't help sneering, and turned to leave.

After the chief walked away, an official dressed in a fourth-grade senatorial uniform stood up and stood in place, looking at the gate of the political envoy, his eyes flickering inexplicably.

"Zeng Hui! Zeng Hui! ”

Only then did the man come back to his senses, looking at each other like a dream, and only after a while did he react and ask, "What's wrong with Brother Xiaoguang?" ”

Zeng Hui is a left-hand politician in Guangdong, and Xiaoguang in his mouth is Yin Bo, a right-hand politician in Guangdong, both of whom are from Taihe, Jiangxi, and were transferred to Guangdong in the same year, so the relationship is very good.

Yin Bo pointed around helplessly and said, "My brother Shi Sheng, do you think there are still people here?" You are still standing here, you know that you are looking at the emperor, and those who don't know think that you are thinking of spring. ”

Zeng Hui glared at Yin Bo, glanced around and whispered, "You don't want to live anymore?" Dare to say such a witty thing to the emperor! Let's go to my house and let's have a good talk. ”

Yin Bo seemed to have known Zeng Hui's thoughts for a long time, and he didn't refuse, and left the deserted street together, and the two walked side by side, and their figures gradually faded away.

The night is hazy, the water vapor is steaming, and on the vast water surface of the Lion Ocean, a series of boats disappear with the waves.

Two people were standing on a clipper boat, their figures up and down with the waves.

"Go, the emperor has entered the city, as long as you go to attack Guangzhou, I will keep your family safe." Listening to the voice, it turned out to be an assassin who was afraid of heights.

"Are you crazy? That's the Emperor! If you really get killed, don't talk about me, how many people in the Nine Clans won't be able to save it! The other spoke indignantly, sounding unconfident.

"Huang Xiaoqi, you are a person who killed your brother and rebelled, what kind of violation of law and discipline did you talk to me about? If you don't go, just wait for your woman to collect the body of your son. The assassin snorted.

"You! So on what grounds do I go? I'm not alone here. Huang Xiaoqi was pinched by the handle, and his momentum instantly weakened a lot.

The assassin smiled, his expression like an idiot: "What do you do with me?" I'm just here to tell you that if you don't go to them, they'll die. If you go, I'll let them fend for themselves, and that's it. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" Huang Xiaoqi's eyes were full of fierce light.

The assassin glanced at him contemptuously, and Huang Xiaoqi's eyes flickered, and a short sword appeared at his neck, and his body fell into the ice cave.

"I said a long time ago, I won't kill you because you're still useful, don't think too highly of yourself, remember, if you don't go today, you will fish well in the Pearl River tomorrow, maybe you can find them." After speaking, he stepped on the boat without looking back, and the figure disappeared in the vast smoke.

Huang Xiaoqi's fists turned white from the force on his knuckles, no matter how unwilling he was, how could he resist the lives of his family? After the entanglement, they still took action, and the boats gradually dispersed and sailed towards the city of Guangzhou.

Senate

Zeng Hui and Yin Bo's cheeks were red, there were two side dishes and a pot of liquor in front of them, but Yin Bo's outstretched hand had not yet fallen on Zeng Hui, Zeng Hui had already indignantly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"I said Brother Shisheng, you can't drink so much that you can't make a problem with yourself?" Yin Bo smiled bitterly.

Zeng Hui glanced at him, and his voice was full of unwillingness: "Xiao Guang! Don't you feel sad that the people under your rule have been reduced to fish and meat? ”

Yin Bo lowered his head and sighed, nodded fiercely and said, "Shi Sheng, what you said is right, but I want to remind you that this is not under our rule." This is under the rule of Xiang Wenyao, Li Mao, and Dong Xing, there is no governor and governor, and the three of them are the gods of Guangdong. You and me? From the senators of the four grades, they are not even qualified to speak in front of them. ”

Zeng Hui raised his chin and said excitedly, "So what's the matter?" Now that the emperor is here, whether it is a political envoy, a police envoy, a commanding envoy, or any governor or governor, they all have to stand aside! ”

Yin Bo was obedient and didn't say the right thing, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be stupid!" You and I can't see each other like this, the emperor will say something else, don't think of any crooked ideas?! ”

Zeng Hui had another glass of water and wine, although there was a blur in his eyes, but the firm gold stone in it could not be compared.

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations!"

"Zeng Hui! Are you going to push yourself to the brink of extinction? Yin Bo stood up suddenly.

Zeng Hui said eight words under the stomach of another glass of wine: "Desperate life, it is not yet known!" ”

"You!" Yin Bo looked at his friend, bitter and insignificant in his heart, more admiration for Zeng Hui.

"Why is it so messy out there?" Zeng Hui finally stopped the cup and asked with a puzzled face.

Yin Bo also heard the movement, hurriedly ran to the window, and after pushing it open, he saw a group of clippers appearing on the river at some point, and they were rushing quickly in the direction of the city.

"Not good! The thieves have entered the city! ”
