Zhaoqing, Liangguang Governor's Palace.

The light of day has not yet brightened, half an hour ago from Xiangshan's fast horse called to open the city gate, the governor's waist card starry night straight into the governor's yamen, the door is closed after the guests enter the yamen, even the most trusted soldiers in Xiangshan are spread outside the yamen, only Chen Mu alone into the house.

The candles in the governor's mansion were lit for a night, and the old servant changed the wax three times, and the last time the candles were renewed, the master was dressed in a single coat and looked at the full moon in the courtyard, and the guests in the house sat on their books, looking down at nothing.

Chen Mu was looking at the map, and there was a large map on the table in front of him, which he was very familiar with.

Deng Zilong's teacher Luo Hongxian once painted a map of Guangdong, this map is similar, the same Guangdong, the only difference is that it is not marked by the prefecture and county, but the health office.

Nanhai, Chaozhou, Leizhou, Hainan, Qingyuan, Huizhou, Zhaoqing, Guanghai...... It is densely packed and constitutes the establishment of more than 67,000 guards in Guangdong, and all the forces are on this map.

His official position was decided, but Zhang Han had the final say on where to give it.

Zhang Han let him see, let him take a good look and take a closer look, no matter where he wants to go, even if Gu Zhan Que's nest transfers the original commander, he can let him do it, and he is the commander of the palm seal who has the real power of the first guard.

Chen Mu knows Zhang Han, this old military man is reluctant to govern and does not know soldiers, but he is a politician with sophisticated words and means, even if he appreciates Chen Mu, he will not make such a fierce decision.

It's anomalous.

The well-repaired wooden door was pushed open, and there was almost no sound, but the cloth-bottomed official boots deliberately stepped on the ground so that Chen Mu noticed that someone was coming in behind him, and turned back to Zhang Han.

Standing up and saluting, Zhang Han waved his hand a little weakly, and his beard was all pale, which made his already aging expression even more sluggish. Behind Zhang Han, a servant brought a hot fish soup on the table, and Chen Mu heard Zhang Han ask, "Have you thought about it, where are you going?" ”

"Humble duty, I still want to go to ......" Chen Mu pursed his lips slightly, arched his hand, his back was very straight but bowed his head: "Guanghai." ”

The old man let out a long sigh, "Guanghai, where is Guanghai good?" The soldiers are gone, and the city has also collapsed by you, but guarding the Xiangshan Haojing, you can have the power of Xiangshan, and the new superintendent, where can you have time to show your skills. ”

Zhang Han ignored Chen Mu, whose eyes widened and was extremely shocked, shook his head and said: "Change one, change to a place where there are no thieves and no war, you are still young, three years and five years, and it is a good situation." ”

"Governor, you want to be transferred? New, new, new overseer, why is that? ”

Chen Mu didn't understand why Zhang Han let him choose a random place at first, and even if he transferred the original commander, he had to arrange it for him, this was something he didn't have to think about at all, he must have wanted to stay in Xiangshan, Zhang Han wouldn't have known it, he felt that something was wrong at that time.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Han intended to arrange a way back for him before he was transferred.

The trick of the matter is that Zhang Han's appearance does not look like he is going to be promoted to an important position in Beijing.

"It's cold at night, so that you can gallop all the way is the people below who have lost their sense of proportion and drank soup." Zhang Han is energetic, but worrying makes him look tired, after sitting down, he stroked Shi Yan Dahao on the case, waved his hand to let Chen Mu not be surprised, and said: "There are many old sayings, what you want to hear is time to say, don't make a fuss, drink the soup first." ”

There is no need to make a fuss, Zhang Han is like this, how can Chen Mu be like water?

A month ago, he taught him how to write eight shares, and in the blink of an eye, he became the governor of Liangguang and became this depressed appearance, at this time, what Chen Mu was concerned about was not what to do if he was transferred to other guards, Xiangshan and Haojing, but what happened?

What happened to make Zhang Han, who held the power of the two vast vast, so lost.

"The old man wants to resign and return to his hometown to the imperial court, the reason is three people, the second assistant Zhang Taiyue, Ying Tianxun Hai Gangfeng, and Guangdong General Zhou Yunxiang."

Zhang Han recounted, but Chen Mu didn't understand, he knew that Zhang Taiyue was Zhang Juzheng, who he wanted to get a relationship with, and now he is ranked second-handed; Haigang Peak is Hai Qingtian Hai Rui, and this year he has just been released to the governor of the sky; But how these two got involved with Zhou Yunxiang, Chen Mu didn't understand.

Zhou Yunxiang used to be a general in Guangdong, and this year, the Guangdong police rebelled against Zeng Yi, and killed Geng Zongyuan, who was guarding Lei Qiong, and wanted to respond to Zeng Yi, but Zeng Sanlao was killed by Chen Mu before he even escaped from Lingdingyang, and Zhou Yunxiang, who came to join the teacher, had no way out and went into exile overseas.

How could such a person be in a relationship with those two?

"The second assistant has always intended to reuse Hai Rui, at that time, Xu Ge Lao was in charge, and it was not easy for the official to be reinstated, and as soon as he came out, he pointed at Ge Lao and scolded him for being greedy. This year's performance assessment, the second assistant said that the important people from all over the country recommended three capable officials to His Majesty, and the old man voted for his favor and chose Haigang Peak. ”

When it comes to doing what he likes, Zhang Han didn't mind at all, he just said as a matter of course: "Being valued by others will also offend people, do you know that this is an official, what official is the best to do?" ”

Chen Mu smiled, and just wanted to talk about the military attaché, he heard Zhang Han say: "It's a speech official, and a speech officer is the best thing to do, because whether you are a military attaché or a civil official, even if you are a second assistant or a first assistant, even General Zhu will be scolded by the speech officer, but the speech officer will not scold himself." ”

Zhu Zongbing, he is talking about Zhu Houzhao of Ming Wuzong.

"Wu is derelict in his duties, his writing is negligent, his official position is in his mouth, his mouth is free, and he only wants to scold whether he wants to scold."

"In July, the court discussed that the old man was negligent, and he was impeached and dismissed, and the second assistant was speechless, and he was going to be demoted and transferred to another place, but a copy of the news that he was killed by you was sent to the capital, so he was relieved of his negligence and ordered to arrest Zhou Yunxiang."

"The vast sea is boundless, Yu Zhifu can't catch him, what can the old man do? Scold! ”

Zhang Han chuckled lightly, and waved his big sleeves across the table, "The second assistant has already spoken, and since the old man can't do anything, he must know the current affairs." The old man's handbook has been written, and the old man of Guangdong who overseers has never lost anything, but he is only guarded by you, and he will play the handbook in three months. In between, settle your Chen Erlang well, and forget it. ”

Zhang Han didn't say it too carefully, and he didn't explain everything to Chen Mu inside, but he probably understood what was going on.

Zhang Juzheng wanted to reuse Hai Rui, Zhang Han agreed, some people disagreed, Zeng Yi Kou Guangdong made Zhang Han's reputation in the imperial court decline, relying on Zhang Juzheng's help to speak, Chen Mu quickly killed Zeng Yiyi, so as to keep the position of governor, otherwise he would have been transferred away a long time ago.

And this time Zhou Yunxiang is just an innocuous fuse, being attacked by Yanlu as a target, it has become a big deal, but Zhou Yunxiang can't catch it when he is in exile at sea, and the matter is tied to a dead end.

Chen Mu has no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, let alone thinking in circles, the only feasible way in his mind to repay Zhang Han for his kindness is to go straight to catch Zhou Yunxiang.

"The military gate is worried, worried that Zhou Yunxiang will not be captured, and he may be able to follow the work of eagle dogs."

Chen Mu, who arched his hands, thought that he was a person who didn't know the times, he didn't believe him and didn't accept it, even if he didn't say kindness, at this stage, only Zhang Han was sitting in the position of governor, so that he could better display his strengths, not to mention that Zhang Han knew him.

He said: "Fight for the military gate!" ”

"Fight?"

"That's enough for you."

Zhang Han looked at Chen Mu and shook his head and smiled, looked at him, smiled beside him, looked at him, smiled beside him, and smiled back and forth three times, his expression was both relieved and sad, and finally sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Go back and think about where to take office, the old man Zhishi's last handbook, no one will refute it." ”
