Since the accident of Ma Weijiang, Guo Song learned from the pain and began to carry out reforms in various places, the content of the reform is to separate the military, government, and criminal affairs, and they are controlled by different chief officials, and the tax office and the salt and iron transfer office are also directly managed by the imperial court.

Of course, the Lingnan side is no exception, first of all, Guo Song canceled the title of Lingnan Economic Envoy, changed to a pacification envoy, this is actually a temporary position, when the political situation is calm, after the state is operating normally, the pacification envoy will be revoked, only the salt and iron transport envoy, the city ship envoy and the prison inspection envoy, in addition to Guangzhou will retain an appropriate amount of garrisons, not to participate in government affairs, only responsible for quelling the rebellion or resisting the invasion.

Lingnan will not be completely stable until at least three or four years later, Guo Song has decided that the governor of Guangzhou will be appointed by Kang Bao, and the salt and iron transfer envoy, the city ship envoy and the prison inspection envoy will be decided by the imperial court, as for Kang Bao's recommendation of the eunuch An Baochun to succeed the city ship envoy, Guo Song also let the officials and the household department consider together, Kang Bao is very accurate, he generally does not recommend officials easily, Guo Song still considers Kang Bao's suggestion.

And now he wants to select the people of Lingnan pacification envoy, the ministry recommended seven people, Guo Song thought twice, and finally focused on the secretary and supervisor Xue Changshou, Xue Changshou was nearly sixty years old, when Guo Song sent an envoy to the Western Regions, Xue Changshou was his army, when Guo Song was in Fengzhou, Xue Changshou was also a long history, and was deeply trusted by Guo Song.

In the first batch of counselor lists, Xue Changshou was also among them, but Xue Changshou was removed from the post of counselor and served as senior minister, after the restoration of the imperial court, Xue Changshou was appointed as the secretary and supervisor, in fact, this is a false position, and he can't control any of the Jin Wangfu, internal guards, and staff offices under the secretary and supervisor, so Guo Song considered letting him go out of Lingnan as a pacification envoy.

Pan Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Let Xue Changshou go to Lingnan, is he a little older?" What does Weichen mean, can His Highness talk to Xue Changshou first? ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "Xue Changshou grew up in Zhangzhou, he can adapt to the climate in Lingnan, and besides, he has excellent medical skills and good maintenance, don't look at him as a sixty-year-old person, but he looks like he is about forty years old." ”

Du You said: "His Royal Highness decided to let Xue Changshou go, I believe that the political hall will not object, after all, he is also one of the candidates proposed by the political hall, Weichen agrees with Pan Xiangguo's opinion, and Xue Changshou himself has to fight for the opinion of Xue Changshou himself in this matter." ”

"What about Pan Xiangguo?" Guo Song looked at Pan Yue again.

Pan Yue nodded, "If His Highness decides to let him go, Weichen has no opinion!" ”

"Good! I'll talk to Xue Changshou. ”

As long as the left and right Xiangguo agree, the political affairs hall can generally be approved, and major personnel appointments like this are generally recommended by the political affairs hall, no less than five people, and then Guo Song selects one person from them.

If Guo Song wants to use people outside the list, the best way is to let the political affairs hall add to the recommendation list, if he can't get the recommendation of the political affairs hall, and the political affairs hall has more than five objections, then Guo Song will be invalid even if he is forcibly appointed.

In fact, at that time, the government and the opposition were generally opposed to Lu Qi as prime minister, and other ministers in the political hall did not agree, but Li Shi still used his imperial power to forcibly appoint, and it was Lu Qi who catered to Li Shi in everything, and finally attracted the disaster of eunuchs.

Guo Song came to Xue Changshou's official room, the secretary supervised the three major institutions below, the internal guard was led by Wang Yue, the Jin Wei Mansion was led by Guo Yuniang and Song Tian, and the staff room was supervised by Lu Lun, so as the secretary and supervisor, Xue Changshou really had nothing to do, he was like a gatehouse in the mailroom, the documents sent by other ministries and temples, he was responsible for distributing them to the following three institutions, and the documents handed over by the three institutions were then sent to other ministries and temples.

Guo Song came to the door of Xue Changshou's official room, but saw that he was sitting at the table reading the newspaper, Guo Song knocked on the door, Xue Changshou saw that it was King Jin who came, he hurriedly put down the newspaper and got up, "Why is Your Highness here?" ”

Guo Song smiled: "I'll take a walk casually, just come here, and I'll stop by to see you." ”

"Your Highness, please be seated!"

Xue Changshou hurriedly moved a chair and invited Guo Song to sit down, and ordered the tea boy to serve tea.

"How is Supervisor Xue's health lately?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

"I'm in good health, Your Highness knows that I am a military doctor, so I have been very careful with maintenance, I can eat and sleep, and I walk thousands of steps slowly every night, and I feel no different from ten years ago."

Guo Song and Xue Changshou have a deep friendship, there is no need to knock on the side, he doesn't go around the corner, and goes straight to the point, "I consider letting Xue Jianling change the environment, I don't know if Xue Jianling is willing to go to Lingnan as an official and serve as a Lingnan pacification envoy." ”

Xue Changshou obviously didn't expect this to happen, he was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.

Guo Song continued: "Both Pan Xiangguo and Du Xiangguo agreed that you would go to Lingnan, but they were worried about whether your body could withstand the long journey and the climate of Lingnan? ”

Xue Changshou said slowly: "The body is not a problem, Weichen is a doctor, how is his body?" I knew in my heart that the key was that I couldn't rest assured at home. ”

"You can't rest assured that you can't get rid of your son!"

Xue Changshou nodded, "My son is only four years old and is very dependent on me, so I can't rest assured that he was left in Chang'an." ”

"Can Ling Lang take a boat?" Guo Song asked.

"Your Highness allows me to take him to Guangzhou?" Xue Changshou asked in surprise.

Guo Song said with a smile: "The pacification envoy is not a strategic envoy, and the pacification envoy does not care about the army, so Supervisor Xue ordered to take his son to take office, in fact, it is not a big problem, you can bring more people, the child's mother, nurse, servant maids, etc., all taken away, I just care that he is still young, can he take a sea boat?" ”

"This problem is not big, in fact, children are not seasick, but adults are seasick, and I can prepare anti-seasickness medicine, drink it in advance, it should not be seasick."

Guo Song smiled slightly: "Then I think that Supervisor Xue agreed to take up the post of Lingnan pacification?" ”

"Since His Royal Highness values Weichen so much, Weichen is willing to serve as the pacification envoy of Lingnan!"

.........

The news of the imperial court's recovery of Lingnan also made Lin Yaozu, the proprietor of Baojitang, very nervous, because of the distance of thousands of miles, the mountains blocked, the news was very closed, what happened in Guangzhou Quanzhou basically did not know, even if it was known later, it was generally a businessman who occasionally passed the news over, but it is also very likely that Quanzhou did not know.

For example, when Lu Sigong put down the rebellion of Geshuhuang in Guangzhou, the Quanzhou government did not know about it from the merchants until three years later.

This is also the reason why Yao Guangping wants to set up an intelligence station in Chang'an, he can't be ignorant in Quanzhou, and he didn't wake up until the imperial army came to the city.

Chang'an is the place where the world's intelligence gathers, and you can know a lot of information about Quanzhou in Chang'an, such as the imperial army stationed in Jiangnan, this kind of information cannot be known in Quanzhou, so it must be collected by Chang'an's intelligence station and sent to Quanzhou.

Lin Yaozu learned from the "Tianxia Xinbao" that the imperial court had recovered Guangzhou, and he found the "Chang'an Express", and the newspapers were found for several days, but there were no details he wanted.

For example, did the imperial court directly plot against the army in Guangzhou, or did it send a large army to Guangzhou? If the latter, then how many troops were sent? Did the army go by land or sea? How did the battle turn out? I don't know anything about the details.

For two days in a row, Lin Yaozu was like an ant on a hot pot, he tried to ask for information everywhere, but found nothing, at noon, a guy came back in a hurry, Lin Yaozu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Did you hear it?" ”

"I went to the dock to ask, and all the shipowners said that they had not seen a big ship that could go to sea in the imperial court, but it was ......"

"But what?"

Lin Yaozu hurriedly said: "Hurry up!" ”

"There was a shipowner who said that although the imperial court did not have sea ships, they could rent sea boats to go to sea."

Lin Yaozu's eyes lit up, yes! Why didn't he think that he could rent a sea boat, the number was huge, it must be the Liu family, maybe the Liu family knew about the imperial court's troops. ”

Thinking of this, he summoned a few doctors and asked: "Have you ever visited the Liu family, it turns out that the Liu family in Yangzhou has a lot of sea vessels!" ”

All the doctors shook their heads, "The proprietor, a wealthy family like the Liu family should have its own doctors!" ”

Lin Yaozu was right to think about it, so he called more than a dozen guys, "You all go out to inquire, where is the Liu family's mansion?" It is estimated that there are scoundrels who know, and if they really can't do it, they will spend some money and let them help inquire. ”

Several guys said yes and left.

At this time, the physician Wang Fu stepped forward and said, "Proprietor, I seem to have a patient who knows more about the Liu family's information, I can go and inquire." ”

Wang Fuzhi was identified as the culprit by the medical troublemaker before, and the medical troublesome incident had been quelled by Lin Yaozu for five hundred yuan, but this incident seemed to have brought a lot of blow to Wang Fuzhi, he had been in a low mood during this time, and Lin Yaozu did not persuade him to let him recover slowly.

When Lin Yaozu heard that Wang Fuzhi could find out the news of the Liu family, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "You hurry up and inquire, go and go back quickly." ”

Wang Fuzhi agreed, he took the medicine box, took an ox cart out of Xinchangfang, and headed for Dongshi.
