Compared with Wang Zhangjun's extremely natural and familiar movements, although Zuo Qing's movements are not slow, they are still somewhat stiff, and the expression on his face is also very unnatural.

This guy hasn't gotten acquainted yet, Zhou Shixiang chuckled, didn't look at Qin Rong, who was stunned, and walked straight forward to Guo Zhiqi and saluted, "Guangzhou Town has seen a scholar from Qincha!" Without hesitation, he bowed down.

Guo Zhiqi is a scholar, and he came with the emperor's decree, he is a righteous Qincha, of course, he can be worshiped by Zhou Shixiang, the general soldier of Guangzhou, because at this moment he is not only a scholar, but also represents the emperor. Even if he doesn't have the emperor's order, he should also pay a big tribute to Zhou Shixiang, after all, he is a civil official and a bachelor of official residence.

"Guangzhou Town, please get up!"

After Zhou Shixiang finished saluting, Guo Zhiqi stepped forward to help him up with a smile on his face, and there was no arrogance of a scholar at all.

"The old man heard on the road that Guangzhou Town led his troops to cut Hahamu, and the strange soldiers raided Guangzhou, recovering Yangcheng in one fell swoop, forcing the puppet Pingnan Domain Shang Kexi that thief **** to die, and the puppet Jingnan Domain Geng Jimao came back anyway, and captured the puppet governor Li Shutai and others, he was really overjoyed, Guangzhou Zhenguo is a hero, if the Son of Heaven knows the news of the victory in Guangzhou, I don't know what to be happy about!"

Guo Zhiqi is really excited and happy, the Taiping Army's battle to recover Guangzhou is really shocking to the world, more exciting than Li Dingguo's two famous kings, the recovery of Guangzhou also means that Guangdong will re-enter the Ming Dynasty, which is of great significance to the Ming Dynasty that only has Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. He could imagine how shocked and ecstatic the imperial court and the Son of Heaven would be when they learned the news of the victory in Guangzhou!

The more Guo Zhiqi looked at Zhou Shixiang, the more pleasing he became, and the slight dissatisfaction with his appointment and demotion also disappeared. couldn't stop praising Zhou Shixiang. Zhou Shixiang was naturally humble, but he was happy in his heart that Yongli could send a scholar to come. It shows that he attaches enough importance to himself, but he doesn't know what holy decree this scholar has brought, and what kind of official and what knighthood he will be promoted to this holy decree.

Zhou Shixiang already understood that the holy decree brought by Guo Zhiqi was not a reward for the victory in Guangzhou, but a reward for the total annihilation of Tayinbu. Compared with this victory in Guangzhou, the credit of the last time is not worth mentioning at all, but Zhou Shixiang also values it, and wants to know if Zhu Youlang has clear rewards and punishments. After all, the battle of Tayinbu was the first major victory of the Ming army on the battlefield since Li Dingguo became a famous king. Song Xianggong told him that this merit may be able to bring Zhou Shixiang the title of a duke.

"Lord Guo, do you know why Guo Shao and Liang Shuanghu didn't come back?" Zhou Shixiang asked what he had been wondering about.

"Don't worry about the town of Guangzhou. The court won't swallow your elite army. ”

Guo Zhiqi laughed and told Zhou Shixiang that the reason why the team of soldiers and horses he sent to report the victory did not come back with him was actually because the army of the Jin Dynasty went to Qujing to meet Sun Kewang. As a result, the army in Kunming City was empty. Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, saw that Liang Shuanghu was good, so he begged the emperor to order them to stay in the city to increase the strength of the defenders. No matter how small the number of people is, it is also more than 100 men who have been killed by a sea of blood, and they can also play a certain role at critical times. In order to enrich the strength of the Kunming defenders, Mu Tianbo can be regarded as racking his brains, and he will lower his mouth when he sees meat.

Zhou Shixiang put his mind at ease, as long as it wasn't an accident, Li Dingguo had already defeated Sun Kewang. Guo Shao and Liang Shuanghu have no need to stay in Kunming anymore, Mu Tianbo can't really swallow people.

But I don't know if Guo Zhiqi knows that Li Dingguo won in Jiaoshui. Sun Kewang was defeated and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing army attacked Guizhou on a large scale, Zhou Shixiang thought of the secret letter he had just received in his cuffs, but after thinking about it, he still didn't take out the secret letter.

Qin Rong stood there with a blue face and stared at Wang Zhangjun, seeing that the latter was angry, he had retreated everywhere before, but he didn't want to fall into his majesty, and he dared to look at Qin Rong angrily. With such a look, Qin Rong was naturally even more angry.

Guo Zhiqi said a few words to Zhou Shixiang, and the Son of Heaven was happy when he heard the Taiping Army's victory, so he coughed lightly and wanted to take out the holy decree to read it.

Qin Rong suddenly took two steps forward, pointed at Wang Zhangjun with his hand and asked Zhou Shixiang: "Guangzhou Town knows that this person has participated in the establishment of the puppet emperor Shaowu. ”

Zhou Shixiang glanced at Wang Zhangjun and nodded, "I know." ”

Zhou Shixiang said that he didn't know, and Qin Rong didn't know about it, but Zhou Shixiang directly replied that he knew, and he couldn't help but be angry, and said angrily: "Since you know, why don't you put him in prison!" ”

How do you arrange the demotion, what does it matter to you?

Zhou Shixiang was unhappy, because Guo Zhiqi was present, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so he said coldly: "Guangzhou has just been recovered, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt. The state affairs are difficult, and only talent is the case. ”

When Zhou Shixiang spoke, Song Xianggong came over and whispered Qin Rong's identity, Zhou Shixiang nodded slightly after listening, and suddenly asked Qin Rong: "Lord Qin has brought the will of the imperial court to dispose of Wang Zhangjun?" If so, I will put them in prison and be disposed of. As soon as the words fell, he saw that Wang Zhangjun's body was unstable, and he almost fell down in fright. Zuo Qing's face also changed, and he was very frightened.

Qin Rong has no holy decree, there is a letter from the governor, but unfortunately there is no provision on it for him to dispose of the demotion of officials, and it is not his turn to be the deputy envoy of the inspector. He kept silent with a dark face.

Zhou Shixiang shook his head: "Since there is no will, then there should be no fault in my disposal." In the future, I also asked Lord Qin not to criticize the subordinate officers of the commander too much, if he really wanted to reprimand, he also asked the governor to come to reprimand, and it was not the turn of the deputy envoy to reprimand. ”

Zhou Shixiang deliberately aggravated his tone, reminding Qin Rong that the Department of Procuratorial Envoys and the Department of Political Envoys were two departments in charge of civil affairs and justice, and that there was no relationship between the upper and lower jurisdictions, so Qin Rong, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Envoys, had no right to point fingers at the officials of the Political Envoy Department, let alone question the arrangements of his Guangzhou General Army.

Qin Rong always insisted on the matter of demotion, which made Guo Zhiqi very unhappy, for the sake of Lianchengbi's face, he did not reprimand him.

Qin Rong was speechless by Zhou Shixiang, but he was unwilling to let villains like Wang Zhangjun change into officials in the same dynasty as him, and saw that the official uniform on his body seemed to be sewn from the old and new, and the specifications did not match, so he said: "Since Guangzhou Town has recovered Guangzhou, the officials set up should follow the etiquette of the imperial court. ”

Seeing that Qin Rong accused them of wearing the wrong official uniforms, Song Xianggong and Zuo Qing were also depressed, and the deputy envoy really hated Wang Zhangjun to the bone, and even wore the wrong official uniform. It's really nosy, and it's just a matter of worrying.

"This is not the handsome, I forgot to be negligent for a while, and I turned around and asked someone to correct it."

Zhou Shixiang knew that Song Xianggong had a problem with their official uniforms, so he didn't refute but lowered his posture, not wanting to say anything to Qin Rong about this matter, but Qin Rong sneered and said, "If you forget it for a while, you can lose the dignity of the official government?" What does this make the people think of the court? If they have a heart of contempt, how will the government govern them in the future? ”

"I think that the dignity of the government lies in making the people in the territory worry-free about food and clothing, the old are supported, and the few are educated, so why not if the official uniforms are tattered? No matter how good the official uniform is, if the people are displaced and have no three meals, what is the use of such dignity? ”

Zhou Shixiang is really enough, Qin Rong is also the deputy envoy of the third grade, how can he not talk about the big things, but he still holds on to these small sections. If Nanming's officials are all like him, it is really unreasonable not to die!

Qin Rong was dumbfounded by Zhou Shixiang's words, and then he thought that the Guangzhou town in front of him was not a simple martial artist, but a talent. Xiucai, after reading some books, it is inevitable that you will be sharp.

"The country is almost gone, what kind of government decency do you care?"

Guo Zhiqi finally couldn't help but have a seizure, Qin Rong really didn't know the priority, now the whole court is pointing at the Taiping Army, but he is constantly offending people, confused, I really don't know why Lian Chengbi sent this person and him to Guangzhou.

Qin Rong was stunned, he didn't dare to speak again, he didn't dare to collide with Guo Zhiqi.

Guo Zhiqi glanced at him, shook his head secretly, and turned to Zhou Shixiang: "There is no need to set up an incense case, everything is simple, and Guangzhou Town will take the order!" ”

"The ministers and the scholars are taking orders!"

Zhou Shixiang hurriedly knelt on the ground, he knelt, Zuo Qing and Song Xianggong also knelt down, and the blind Li also honestly put down the hammer, everyone bowed their heads and waited for the will.

Guo Zhiqi unfolded the holy decree, glanced at it, and preached in a clear voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says:

I am only poor and present, and I know loyalty. Jiashen country is difficult to come, fierce and reckless, the sect is a few declines, now there is Guangzhou town can relax the king's affairs, help the chaos and chaos, the pillar of the imperial court, the country's dry city is also worthy of its achievements and not praised, to favor the fate?

Zte Jin Guangzhou Town Zhou Shi Xiang for Xingping Bo, the Department of the conscription soldiers, all the military department from the meritorious service. In addition, it is specially decreed that six officials can be set up under Xingpingbo, and officials such as probation, publicity, and trial are convenient for governance, and military attachés below the second rank and below can be appointed by themselves under the six grades of civil service. On the day of the recovery of the Central Plains, I will not be stingy! Chin this! ”

After the decree was announced, Song Xianggong was a little surprised, why was the court so stingy and only gave it to an earl? Even if the prince doesn't give it, no matter how bad it is, he has to give it to a marquis, right?

Zuo Qing and Wang Zhangjun breathed a sigh of relief, this will of Emperor Yongli gave Zhou Shixiang the power to set up six officials, so that the two of them participated in politics in essence, and the real Ming Dynasty officials. It's just that the holy decree only allows Zhou Shixiang to appoint civil officials below the sixth grade, which is troublesome, can we become military attachés from now on?

Wang Zhangjun glanced at Qin Rong, and saw that the other party was also staring at him, and couldn't help but grin at the corner of his mouth, with a smug face, as if to say that you said before that I was not an official of the imperial court, but now you dare to say that I am not! It's a big deal that I'm fighting to be a military general, what can you do with me

Although he did not seal himself as a national prince, nor did he seal a marquis, but he sealed a Xingping uncle, but Zhou Shixiang was not dissatisfied, whether it was a national duke, a marquis, or an uncle, it would be yesterday's yellow flower, and when the news of the victory in Guangzhou reached Kunming, the prince and the marquis Zhu Youlang could not take it.

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Zhou Shixiang got up and took the holy decree from Guo Zhiqi's hand, handed it to Song Xianggong, and asked Guo Zhiqi to sit down and talk. The blind man Li behind him suddenly jumped up with a dissatisfied face, and shouted angrily: "I gave it to an uncle yesterday, but the handsome man of my family said that the emperor of the Zhu family has to call him a prince, otherwise he will not recognize him as the emperor of the Zhu family!"
