In the city of Guangzhou, thick dark clouds cover the sky over this ancient city, and it seems that rain will come at any time.

The political envoy is the Yamen, the highest-level yamen in Guangdong. In front of the door, there are two stone lions standing on the left and right, and the appearance of the teeth and claws is lifelike, making the place even more gloomy.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a cyan official robe, had already returned from Xiangshan County, and had just gotten off a carriage, looking up at the plaque of the political envoy, his eyes showing a touch of melancholy.

He learned from Li Yunhu and others that after the plan to capture Calenel failed, the Portuguese had found Wang Bai and put pressure on Wang Bai. Wang Bai was also very angry, and once wanted to command the envoy to send someone to arrest him, but fortunately, the commander of the envoy did not buy Wang Bai's account.

Lin Haoran sighed lightly, and walked inside, knowing that this was a hurdle that had to be overcome.

He has irreconcilable contradictions with Wang Bai, Wang Bai needs the Francophone to bring him ambergris to please the emperor, and he wants to open up the route from Haojing to Leizhou to achieve the big goal of opening the sea.

Now, the first step of the plan has been achieved, and Qi Jiguang has successfully captured Haojing. But whether he can hold on to this victory will require him to deal with Wang Bai next.

When he arrived at the door and revealed his identity, he followed a small official into the yamen of the political envoy. Even though Lin Haoran had already prepared, he was inevitably stunned in his heart.

When they came to the hall, in addition to the two bigwigs Wang Bai, the political envoy, and Ding Yizhong, the envoy of the inspection, there were also deputy envoys, political officials, and other officials, and almost all the senior officials in Guangdong were gathered here.

Wang Bainian is about fifty years old, obese, and his whole body seems to be trapped in a chair, seeing Lin Haoran walking in, his face looks gloomy to look at him, when it can be described as "the nose is not the nose, the eyes are not the eyes".

"See Lord Fantai, Lord Zhentai, I've seen all of you!" Lin Haoran turned a blind eye to Wang Bai's stinky face, and saluted respectfully to everyone with enough superficial effort.

In fact, when he spoke, he quietly observed the reactions of others. As a result, I sadly found that except for Wu Guifang, who was involved in politics, nodded slightly at him, everyone else was looking at their noses and noses, and they were clearly trying to draw a line with him.

At this moment, he knew that he was an egg and Wang Bai was a stone.

As the chief executive of a province, and the supreme governor of coastal defense in Guangdong, he also won the emperor's favor with ambergris, and now he has a group of Guangdong officials, how can he, a small five-grade official, be qualified to argue with Wang Bai?

It's just that the arrow is on the bow, but it has to be sent. Even if he takes the initiative to admit defeat now, it will be difficult to recover the matter, not to mention that he has a fundamental conflict of interest with Wang Bai's interests, and it must be irreconcilable.

Wang Bai picked up the teacup and gave Bai Yi, who was participating in politics, a look, Bai Yi immediately understood, and immediately asked, "Lin Ruoyu, are you guilty!" ”

Calling names like this is undoubtedly a very rude behavior, but in this kind of occasion where it is clear that the big wants to "bully the small with the big" and "bully the weak with the strong", no one accuses Bai Yi of not.

Lin Haoran knew that they would be in trouble, but he didn't expect them to be so direct, let alone so rude, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and calmly asked: "Bai participates in politics, what is the crime of the lower officials?" ”

"Still want to quibble?" Bai Yi's face changed suddenly, and he raised his voice and asked again and again, "Who asked you to provoke the Franc machine?" Do you know how many disasters you will bring to the people of Guangdong by using troops against Haojing? ”

Now that the people of Guangdong are brought out, this is undoubtedly occupying the righteousness, and it can be said that the platform is on the line.

"Lord Counselor, if the lower officials have heard correctly, are you blaming me for not expelling the Franc Man who occupies the Hao Jing? I'm worried that these Franco-Rang people will invade our Guangdong and bring disaster to the people of Guangdong, right? Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"If only you knew!" Bai Yi looked at Lin Haoran who was still "obedient", lowered his voice and said coldly.

As the contact with the Franc Robot deepened, he knew that the cannons of these Franc Robot were extremely terrifying, and the threat was far above the Japanese people. And Lin Haoran's move even stabbed a hornet's nest.

Lin Haoran looked around, then bowed his hand to everyone, and said to himself: "If all the adults think that the lower official is guilty, then the lower official will go back to the letter to ask for guilt now!" Let's just say that I expelled the Franc machine man who was entrenched in Haojing, and now the Franc machine man is about to invade my Guangdong, please send a general to calm this war. ”

Burst!

Wu Guifang was using tea, but the tea in her mouth suddenly squirted out, and she held back a smile on her face.

This is a request for sin, and it is clearly a request for merit. If the Franco machine man is really defined as an "intruder", not to mention that the relationship between Wang Bai and the Franco machine man is completely broken, and Lin Haoran's expulsion of the Franco machine man has become a righteous move, this is definitely not the result Wang Bai wants.

Wang Bai and the others frowned, and glared at Lin Haoran with some anger.

Seeing Lin Haoran confess his guilt so easily, Bai Yi's face still looked proud, but after hearing Lin Haoran's words, the whole person was immediately completely stunned, and he also realized that something was wrong.

After a while, he found out and quickly denied it: "I didn't mean that!" I mean, you shouldn't use troops against the Franco, like that...... That will them off! ”

Under Lin Haoran's aggressiveness, Bai Yi has gone from "bringing disasters to the people of Guangdong" to now "angering the Francophone people", and the degree of harm has dropped by a notch.

"I am a great country, and I am powerful! This Francophone is just a small country from thousands of miles away, and now he dares to occupy the wharf of our city's ship, and I can't beat them away? If Lord Bai asks the lower officials for the Franc machine man, then the lower official will ask you if you have received the benefits of the Franc machine man, and we can also ask the saint to comment on this matter! Lin Haoran changed his previous low posture and said in a fierce voice.

This is undoubtedly extremely funny and ridiculous, Da Ming said that it was powerful, but in fact it was full of ills. Not to mention this Franc machine man with a huge ship cannon, even against the Japanese people, it is obvious that he is frequently defeated.

Nowadays, how can Da Ming be qualified to despise others. It's just that this is the truth, but there are some things that cannot be said, and this is a question related to whether political thinking is correct or not.

Terrible!

The deputy envoys, political participants, and ministers present did not despise Lin Haoran, but secretly admired him.

In the Ming Dynasty, mouth cannon is a compulsory course. Like the former Shoufu Xia Yan is a master of mouth artillery, scolding all the way to the position of Shoufu, and has a brilliant record of single-handing the first assistant Zhang Xuan and the secretary Shangshu Fang Xianfu.

Now, everyone looks at Lin Haoran, who is swaying freely, and there is a faint shadow of his master Xia Yan.

Bai Yi immediately sweated profusely, wiped the sweat stains on his forehead with his sleeve, and found that he had underestimated this young man. At least in the article of "using troops against the Francophiles", it is difficult to hold his sore feet, but their side is suppressed everywhere.

In the eyes of these Guangdong officials, it is unclear that the use of troops by the Francophone will cause endless troubles. It's just that this kind of thing can't be shown when it comes to the court, it can only be Lin Haoran's political ideology of "the heavenly kingdom and the mighty four empires", even if this is seriously inconsistent with the facts.

Cough!

Wang Bai picked up the teacup and coughed lightly, and his eyes fell on Di Hai, the deputy envoy of the inspection.

Di Hai was obviously an old fox, and said unhurriedly: "Lin Ruoyu, why are you so aggressive? Regardless of whether you should use troops against the Franco, this overstepping arbitrariness is always a fact, right? You are the prefect of Leizhou and the city of Bo Si, the imperial court didn't give you the power to mobilize Shendianwei and Guanghaiwei, and you didn't get the permission of all the adults here to use troops for the Francophiles, right? ”

I have to say that these words hit the core and pointed out Lin Haoran's violations in this operation. Although he wore two hats, he did not really have the power to mobilize the army.

"May I ask Master Di, which adult here should I ask for instructions? Is that you? Or is it white politics? Lin Haoran also looked very calm, first glanced at him deeply, and then looked at Bai Yi and the others with a smile.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

This can really be described as a slap sound everywhere, and they all put on a posture of asking for guilt, but it turned out to be found at this time. They actually have no qualifications to ask about Lin Haoran's use of soldiers, and they don't even have the right to ask about it.

This Ming Dynasty has always had a clear division of powers and responsibilities, the political envoy department exercises administrative power, and the judicial power according to the inspection department, and this kind of war is actually responsible for the command of the embassy.

It is said that all of their Shangguan are here, which is enough to crush Lin Haoran to death, and even train Lin Haoran as a grandson. It's just that he didn't expect that this person was speechless.

Wu Guifang didn't feel embarrassed, but she wasn't very happy, but she smiled slightly bitterly here. This time, he actually didn't want to participate in the questioning conference, but he was angry with the public, but now Lin Haoran also surrounded him.

Wang Bai actually wanted to sit and watch a good show, but at this time, he didn't stand up, took a sip of tea, and then said leisurely: "I am the deputy envoy of the sea patrol road, responsible for communicating with you, such a big thing, you should always ask the official for instructions, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Yi, Di Hai and others all showed pride in their eyes, and they were all ready to watch a good show here.

"Lord Fantai, please forgive me! I set up a gate at the lotus stem before, originally to prevent the Ming merchants from going to the sea to do business, but then I found that the problem was more serious than I imagined! In the mirror, in addition to the group of Franc machine people, there are also hundreds of Japanese robbers, and the lower officials let people go to exterminate them together. It was also the poor preparation of the lower officials, coupled with the haste of being too hasty, that made many would-be robbers run away! Lin Haoran's attitude was correct, and then he said with a depressed face.

What is talking nonsense with open eyes, that's probably it. In the matter of targeting Haojing, it is clearly a well-planned action, which can recapture Haojing, how can there be a "poor preparation" saying, as for hundreds of Japanese robbers, it is even more nonsense.

It's just that you know he's, but you can't resist him, after all, there is no way to argue about this matter.

Wang Bai has been in the officialdom for many years, how can he not see through Lin Haoran's tricks, and continue to ask: "Such a big matter, can you decide it without authorization as a city boss?" Where do you put me on this cruise? Do you still have me in your eyes? ”

Hehe!

Listening to Wang Bai's remarks, he looked at him gloatingly, thinking in his heart, you kid won't go to hell yet.

This is indeed a flaw in the incident, but not to mention that Lin Haoran did something wrong, but a hat of "supreme official" is enough to make Lin Haoran shackle in the officialdom.

Hai Rui is a broken jar, and he is only from a lifting background, so he has been repeatedly cared for by the big guys above. But Lin Haoran is different, he is an unprecedented six-headed champion, if there is a chance, the big guy above will only be trampled to death by him.

Lin Haoran was thinking about whether to drag Wang Fu into the water, but suddenly heard: "Lord Wang, as the so-called soldier is fast, Lin Tiju found and annihilated the Japanese Bandits, this is a great achievement." If he lets the Wako leave in order to come back and ask you for instructions, then he should be held accountable! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence everywhere.

Because it was no one else who said this, it was the big man who made Ding Yizhong, who was second only to Wang Bai in status.

Ding Yizhong and Wang Bai were originally in the same year, both of them were Jinshi in Jiajing for 17 years, and they were also of the same age. Originally, Ding Yizhong was Wang Bai's boss, but Wang Bai relied on the merit of offering ambergris, but he came from behind.

On the matter of whether to allow the Franco machine to settle in Haojing, Ding Yizhong was opposed at first, but Wang Bai insisted on going his own way, in order to get ambergris to please the saint, he simply responded to the needs of the Franco man.

Lin Haoran looked up at Ding Yizhong in confusion, and he didn't expect this help. When these remarks were thrown, most of the pressure on him immediately dissipated, and it was difficult for Wang Bai to continue to make trouble.

"Lord Ding, what do you mean by this?" Wang Bai suppressed the anger in his heart and asked coldly. Although he and Ding Yizhong were inseparable, he didn't expect that this person would stand up to protect Lin Haoran at this time.

"Isn't this official clear enough? There are robbers in Haojing, and Lin Tiju took people to clean it up, why do you need to come back and ask you for instructions? "Ding Yizhong's science list is ranked above Wang Bai, and he has a strong psychological advantage.

The green tendons on Wang Bai's face were rising, but he didn't expect it to be "in the nest".

Lin Haoran didn't think it was a big deal, and said to Ding Yizhong again: "Lord Zhentai, the lower officials have retrieved several women who disappeared in Xiangshan County a few days ago in Haojing, and it has been confirmed that they were forcibly abducted by the son of the Franc machine man Galenel, and this Franc machine man is also a serious sin!" ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bomb being detonated.

No matter how dark the officialdom is, the political ideology on the surface is still quite unified, and many officials in particular regard themselves as clean. Now, if the Franc Robot does such a rebellious thing, it is enough for them to change their attitude towards the Franc Robot.

"Lin Futai, is this true?" An elderly official asked.

Lin Haoran met everyone's gaze and said categorically: "This matter is absolutely true! Now the rescued women and prisoners are all in the Xiangshan County Ya, even if this official has a hundred guts, he will not dare to deceive you with such a thing. ”

Bang!

Ding Yizhong slapped the table vigorously and said: "I said a long time ago that this kind of Yiren is the ambition of a wolf, but in order to please Shangyi, someone actually indulged this kind of wicked person to bring disaster to my people!" If such a scumbag steps on my Ming territory again, he should be punished! ”

"Lord Ding, don't forget, I'm the deputy envoy of the sea patrol!" Wang Bai didn't want to be completely passive, let alone break with the Francophile, so he had to tear his face at this time.

"Inexplicably, do you still want to cooperate with those Franc machine people?" Ding Yizhong asked.

"When is it your turn to point fingers in the matter of coastal defense, you are overstepping your authority!" Wang Bai replied.

"I'm doing my duty of supervision, what's wrong with that? I've said it before! This mirror is also my Ming territory, and there will be chaos when the Franc machine is entrenched here! Now it seems that what the official said at the beginning was true, and now he has made friends with the Japanese and committed such evil ways, and everyone should be punished for it! Ding Yizhong held on to the problem of the Francophile.

"Is this the case, when it should be investigated by this official, and not listen to Lin Ti's words!" Wang Bai planned to take back the initiative, but he fought for authenticity on the basis of reason.

Watching the two bigwigs fight, the others also looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say a word.

"You traitor, you are clearly a Franc machine to get rid of you, and the old man will beat you to death today!" Ding Yizhong took advantage of his body shape, grabbed the tea cup on the table, and smashed it directly towards Wang Bai's forehead.

Wang Bai screamed, wiped the blood on his forehead, and immediately said angrily: "I'll kill you old horseman!" ”

When everyone saw this, they immediately went up and grabbed the two of them.

It's just that today is destined to be a restless day, and the participation of a political envoy stepped on the deputy envoy of the inspection department, so that the two of them fought again, and finally escalated to a fight between the two yamen.

All of a sudden, teacups and saucers flew around, tables and chairs were knocked to the ground, and clothes were torn.

Lin Haoran, a rookie in the officialdom, looked at all this in a daze, although he had been in the officialdom for nearly a year, but for the first time he saw Ming officials fighting in groups, he muttered in his mouth: It turns out that the rumors are true, and it is not a lie that Ming Dynasty officials like to fight in groups.
