Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 665: Cabinet fight

Of course, Zhou Shixiang is no longer the one who had no power to tie the chicken, and only wanted to wait for the peace of the world to take the imperial examinations. It is a good old man of Ming or Qing.

In Xinhui, he slashed Yuyunlong's neck with a single knife; in Luoding, he set fire to the whole city, engulfing all the people; in Xiangshan, he ordered the sawing and killing of Manzhou Shenling Tayinbu; in Guangzhou , "It's this wheel" made all the people in the whole city, young and old, go to Huangquan; in Chaozhou, because of his indulgence, many fortresses were slaughtered; in Hunan, because of his orders, the Han people died tragically in Dao. Tens of thousands, for the sake of food, how many Hunan Han people cry to the sky...

Xiucai is no longer the scholar he used to be. Behind his young face is a heart of icy iron and blood, and his hands are stained not only with the blood of his enemies, but also with the blood of his compatriots.

After King Tang agreed to supervise the country, everyone thought that Zhou Shixiang had become weak and allowed King Tang and the gang of civil servants to bully him. However, in the eyes of Xiucai, these people were not worthy of being his enemies. And King Tang is not his enemy. Not now, and never will be.

What Tang Wang did looks more like a child's trick in order to maintain his dignity, in order to prevent himself from being regarded as a puppet by others, or a test of his talents.

Zhou Shixiang didn't care how many officials Tang King wanted to seal and how many people he took, because the more he did it, the more it meant that he didn't know what was worth fighting for.

Zhou Shixiang's concession was just because he didn't want to conflict with King Tang on matters that he didn't think mattered at all, which led to the discord between the monarch and his ministers, and made the outside world mistakenly believe that he was really another Sun Kewang. However, ignorant concessions and forbearance will inevitably make Tang Wang have unrealistic illusions, so Zhou Shi has drawn up the list of these six left servants.

After the list of the six servants was in the hands of King Tang, King Tang was silent. For a long time after that, he honestly stayed in the Prince Pingnan Mansion, which was changed to walking, and did not make any further decisions about the appointment and removal of officials. On the other hand, Zhou Shixiang did not make any further demands on the appointment and removal of officials. He focused on matters concerning the Northern Expedition. The establishment of the Guangzhou court and the organization of the ceremony for the supervision of the Tang Dynasty were all handled by the cabinet.

Song Xianggong and Yuan Kuoyu, as the spokespersons of Zhou Shixiang in the cabinet, must compete with Guo Zhiqi when it comes to interests. The former is better, but he still cares about his face and knows his proportions, while the latter is always in the cabinet, saying, "My boss said it, and my boss mentioned it." The next time I almost pointed at Yuan Kuoyu's face and scolded the imperial court. Could it be that your family's handsome opened it.

It is also thanks to Master Guo that he kept his composure and didn't tear it up so face-to-face. Otherwise, Master Yuan, a good student of Master Hong Chengchou, who was completely shameless, could really give him a bite. In that case, the scene would be embarrassing. Very much.

Hong Yu'ao, a cabinet scholar, was the spokesman for the Huguang Loyalty Camp and Yaohuang Thirteen Clan in the Tang Dynasty's regime. Although he supported the Tang King from the bottom of his heart because of Emperor Longwu's relationship, there was a dispute between Guo Zhiqi and Song Xianggong. At times, Master Hong always habitually stepped forward to persuade, rather than helping any party.

Ding Zhixiang is an old official of the Shaowu regime, and his closeness to King Tang is naturally no worse than that of Hong Yuao, but although he did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he was a guest of local officials of the Qing Dynasty before the restoration of Guangzhou, and he gave a lot of money and food to the village. Clear power. If it wasn't for Zhou Shixiang who picked him up and gave him a criminal officer in order to get a good look, I'm afraid that when the local liquidation replaced the puppet Qing with gentry officials, he would inevitably be listed on the street.

When Wencun persuaded him to enter, he also entrusted the light of Shaowu's old ministers, and Ding Zhixiang was able to show his face in front of King Tang. But this is only the case, even with Ding Zhixiang's qualifications, it is impossible to enter the cabinet. It was Tang Wang Nianjiu who asked Guo Zhiqi to presuppose that someone from Shaowu's old minister should enter the cabinet in front of Zhou Shixiang, and then a piece of pie fell on Ding Zhixiang's head. Otherwise, the great good thing of entering the cabinet and managing the government would have his share.

When King Tang ordered Ding Zhixiang to enter the cabinet, Guo Zhiqi originally had some opinions, but it would not be a bad thing to think that there is one more person in the cabinet who is close to His Royal Highness Tang. There is an intersection in the military commander's mansion. In the future, there will always be a greeting. If it fails, there will always be a help in the cabinet. I never thought that Ding Zhixiang not only didn't help Guo Zhiqi, but got very close to Song Xianggong and Yuan Kuoyu. What Guo Zhiqi said, he didn't say anything. Once Song Yuan opened his mouth, he immediately agreed, and Guo Zhiqi was so angry that he hated Tang Wang for seeing the wrong person and brought this white-eyed wolf into the cabinet.

At present, the five members of the cabinet, Song Xianggong, Yuan Kuoyu, and Ding Zhixiang are hard-core Zhou Party members, Hong Yuao does not help each other, although Guo Zhiqi is the first assistant, it is difficult to speak alone, which makes it difficult to make a decision when the cabinet is discussed. .

Zhou Shixiang's letter was personally sent to the Governor's Yamen by Ye Jianyuan, the school of the Brigade Brigade of the First Town, who was under the army. After the letter was sent, Ye Jianyuan didn't say anything threatening, but ordered his subordinates to "exercise troops" outside the city.

The defending general of Qinzhou was Lei Xianchu, the sergeant who went to Luoding under the order of Zhang Xiaoqi to prepare to annex the Taiping Battalion. Faced with the inquiries of the Governor and the Governor, Chief Lei took a long time to say, "I don't dare to block it."

Helpless, Lian Chengbi and Zhang Xiaoqi finally bowed their heads and came to Guangzhou. The second assistant of the cabinet and the head of Xiao Jiuqing given by the Tang king's regime may not be very attractive to these two. Lianchengbixiang considers himself a loyal minister of Yongli, and if he wants to rely on the king of Tang and Zhou Shixiang, he has already voted, and there is no need to wait until today. . The same is true for Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor of the four prefectures~www.NovelMTL.com~ But the two governors finally did not have the courage to try to defeat the invincible Taiping army in Guangdong, so they could only hold their noses and head to Guangzhou. As soon as the two left Qinzhou, Lei Xianchu led his troops out of the city to be reorganized by the Taiping Army. So far, except for Shaozhou and Nanxiong, the two prefectures in Guangdong were still occupied by the "Qing Army", and the whole territory was recovered.

After Lianchengbi and Zhang Xiao arrived in Guangzhou, the king of Tang sent Pan Yinglong, the **** of the former Zhongzheng camp to supervise the army, and now the **** of the Inner Court Si Lijian to go out of the city to greet him in person. The cabinet side was also greeted by the representative of Ding Zhixiang. Zhou Shixiang heard Tinglian and Zhang coming, and only said "I know" and didn't ask any more questions.

After Pan Yinglong welcomed Lian Chengbi and Zhang Xiaoqi into the city, he took them to see the Tang King. Along the way, Pan Gonggong wanted to get close to Lian and Zhang. Although he was appointed by the Tang king as the chief seal of the court, after all, he was a person from the inner court of Yongli, and the Tang king might not have much faith in him. These days, I heard that His Royal Highness Tang Wang was about to take custody of the country. Many eunuchs came to Guangzhou, some from the inner court of the Chongzhen Dynasty, some from the Fujing Dynasty from the Longwu Dynasty, and some from the Shaowu Dynasty, and some of them were from the Tang Dynasty's mansion. For these eunuchs, the king of Tang ordered everyone to pay for them. Originally, there were twenty-four prisons and yamen in the big house. Of course, there are not so many now, and there are not so many internal officials available. Therefore, the king of Tang restored the three supervisors of Sili, Sishi, and Shangbao, and the guard of honor bureau, which probably placed more than 100 eunuchs.

To set up a yamen in the inner court requires expenses. King Tang does not have money, so Zhou Shixiang can only allocate it. (To be continued.)
