Chapter 11 Meeting
The establishment of a governor in the Liangguang region began during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty.
In the Qing Dynasty, the duties of the governor of Liangguang were to govern the military and the people, comprehensively control the civil and military, inspect the officials, repair the feudal territory, and become a veritable feudal official.
The Governor's Mansion of Liangguang, located in the west of Guangzhou Mansion, sits in the north and faces south, covers an area of about 50 acres, is the pattern of sleeping in front of the back, separated by two north-south roads, divided into three components of east, middle and west.
The building on the middle road is the main part of the government office, the official place of the governor, and the auxiliary buildings such as the garden and flower hall of the governor's office are distributed on the east and west roads.
Today, there was a rush of footsteps in the Governor's Palace, and Yang Wengan, a close aide of Li Shizhen, walked out of the notice hall of the Governor's Mansion and rushed towards the building on the left.
Li Shizhen entered the officialdom at the age of twenty-four, and it took thirty years to go from a Hanlin Academy from a seven-grade review, step by step to today's second-grade feudal official, representing the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, but it also means that the road to promotion is basically over.
After his arrival, the old-fashioned Li Shizhen rejected any advanced technology and changes, and in addition to handling official duties, his leisure time was to drink and enjoy himself in the garden of the Governor's Palace.
On the west side of the Governor's Palace, after walking in, stack mountains and rivers, plant flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions, ponds and bridges, and get the interest of forests and springs in the downtown area.
Among the secluded grass and trees, Li Shizhen, who was clumsy, was dressed in regular clothes, standing by the pavilion, the fishing rod in her hand did not move, and her eyes were staring at the lake not far away.
Between the surging waters of the lake, the fish could be seen looming in the water, the fish floated, and then there was no movement, followed by a violent sinking, Li Shizhen raised the fishing rod in a hurry.
A golden carp, struggling desperately in the sun.
The maid waiting behind her hurriedly stepped forward to remove the koi from the hook and put it in the basket.
Li Shizhen was a little interested, put down the fishing rod, returned to the pavilion and sat down, the maid brought the peeled lychee longan, Li Shizhen washed her hands in the basin next to her, took one out of the plate, and put it in her mouth.
The sound of hurried footsteps came into his ears, destroying the quiet atmosphere at the moment, making Li Shizhen's brows frown slightly.
When he looked up and saw Yang Wengan with a goatee and a gray robe, his face slowed down, and he greeted, "Why is Mr. Yang in a hurry?" ”
Only then did Yang Wengan slow down, saluted Li Shizhen and said, "Dong Weng, the students are here for the cangwu thing. ”
Hearing the word Cangwu, Li Shizhen waved her hand, withdrew the maid, and motioned for Yang Wengan to step forward and speak in detail.
Yang Wengan took two steps forward and whispered in his ear: "Dong Weng, there is news from Cangwu that Zhou Youliang and his party failed to trap the white ape, and the two masters of the Internal Affairs Office, together with Zhou Youliang and Cangwu County Order, died at the hands of the traitor. ”
Hearing this, Li Shizhen instantly frowned.
"Is the news true?"
"The students have already sent someone to inquire again, but in my opinion, the news should be true."
"Bang!"
Li Shizhen slapped the table heavily and said angrily: "Dozens of well-armed soldiers, plus people from the Internal Affairs Office, can still let people kill them if they have a plan or not, Zhou Youliang is not effective, even if he doesn't die, I can't spare him when I come back." ”
Yang Wengan hurriedly said: "Dong Weng is angry, the top priority now is how to minimize the impact of this matter. ”
After Li Shizhen was angry at the beginning, he quickly controlled his emotions and muttered: "Liangguang is a major land, and the imperial court still needs me to suppress the rebellion, and a little ringworm is not enough for the imperial court to treat me." ”
"I was in a hurry to get rid of this white ape before, but it was just to prevent it from falling into the mouth of political enemies, and people made a fuss."
Yang Wengan said: "It turns out that Dong Weng has already made up his mind, but I am ashamed that I am in a mess!" ”
Li Shizhen said again: "Inform the Internal Affairs Office of this matter, their people died in the hands of the white ape, and the strength of the internal affairs government will definitely not give up, and they will naturally send others to hunt down and kill the white ape." ”
"Dong Weng is smart." Yang Wengan patted a little fart.
At this moment, the housekeeper in the house took the chapter and walked to Li Shizhen: "Master, there is a post from the Internal Affairs Office here, saying that he is from the capital and asks to see the master." ”
"Beijing?"
Li Shizhen and Yang Wengan glanced at each other, a little strange, and said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and for a while he couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in this gourd.
"When I was an official in the capital, I had no contact with the palace and the internal affairs office, so why would anyone come today."
Li Shizhen took the greeting note handed by the housekeeper, and while talking to Yang Wengan, he opened the greeting post and looked at the last signature.
In the internal affairs of Yu Shilang, Wayne Ming paid respects.
Du Yu Shilang, seeing this position, Li Shizhen's original intention of resigning was also put away.
The governor of Liangguang is the second rank of the official, and the ups and downs of the outside world are no longer enough to threaten his position.
What really controls his fate is the queen mother in the palace who has her senses for herself.
This Wei Enming, the official worships Du Yu Shilang, that is the second person in the Internal Affairs Office, such a person also has a certain right to speak in the palace.
Since this is the case, Li Shizhen can't be too lazy.
After a stick of incense, Li Shizhen changed into an official uniform and met with a group of people from the Internal Affairs Office at the Governor's Mansion.
In the two major places, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also has an office in Guangzhou Prefecture, and the person in charge of the Guangzhou Internal Affairs Office is the iron tiger Yan Zhendong, who is short and fat, with a big head, a thick neck, a face full of meat, and a smile like Maitreya.
But it was this fat man, but with the kung fu of an iron cloth shirt, he forcibly suppressed Na Sutu and Jin Sanzu, and became the first master of the Guangzhou Internal Affairs Office.
Li Shizhen had dealt with him, her eyes crossed his shoulder, and she looked at the person behind Yan Zhendong.
At first glance, the person who came after him looked like an elegant Confucian student, more than forty years old, seven feet tall, but his face was gray and blue, which looked a little weird.
Wearing a weft hat on his head, wearing a blue silk national shirt, a cool belt around his waist, and blue satin felt-soled official boots under his feet, when he walked in slowly, the smile on his face made people subconsciously ignore his appearance.
"Lord Li, this Shangguan is Lord Wei from the capital."
After Yan Zhendong finished speaking, Wei Enming stepped forward to salute Li Shizhen, and then got up and said, "Lord Li, the lower officials are here for official business, this is the secret decree of the Queen Mother." ”
Hearing that there was a secret decree in the palace, Li Shizhen hurriedly got up and walked to Wei Enming to make a respectful gesture.
"In accordance with the decree of the Queen Mother: Wei Enming, the capital of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is ordered to investigate the rebellion, and the officials at all levels below the Liangguang Governor's Mansion must be restrained and must be dedicated."
Li Shizhen listened to the will and put her mind at ease, Wei Enming came here to arrest the rebels, and the palace ordered Guangzhou Mansion to cooperate.
The Boxer Rebellion has been extinguished, and the henchmen of the imperial court should be the active revolutionary party in the south.
In the eyes of Li Shizhen, who is old-fashioned, both foreigners and the revolutionary party are a great trouble for the imperial court and a threat to his high-ranking officials.
"Lord Wei, so young, he is already a man in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he wants to be deeply respected by the Queen Mother, this time with Lord Wei coming out, those who oppose the party will inevitably be wiped out."
Li Shizhen smiled and got up to take the secret decree and flattered Wayne.
Wei Enming behaved very politely, "Where, in Guangzhou Mansion, you still need a lot of support from Lord Li, the anti-party cunning pursued this time, the Internal Affairs Office does not have many people, and you need to send a green battalion to assist in the search." ”
"Well, I'll give you an order to block all the main roads in Guangzhou Prefecture, and the soldiers of the Green Battalion will also cooperate with you."
"My lord, I thank you here."
Wayne bowed to the end, looking extremely humble.
Li Shizhen hurriedly held it up, with a hint of hesitation on her face: "I don't know what Lord Wei is chasing this time, even the Queen Mother was shocked." ”
Wei Enming got up and said in a low voice: "This time, what we are chasing is a revolutionary rebel party, who has a special status in the revolutionary party, and in addition, according to the investigation of the Internal Affairs Office, this person may also be a remnant of peace." ”
"What?"
Li Shizhen was taken aback, Taiping Yu, these words were in the eyes of the queen mother of the dynasty, but they were against the scales, no wonder even the capital internal affairs office sent someone this time.
