Of course, Zhou Shixiang is no longer the powerless Xiucai who just wants to wait for the world to take the Qing imperial examination, nor is he the Amitabha Buddha who is like his mother every day, just looking forward to the peace and security of the family, regardless of whether he is a good man in the Ming or Qing Dynasty.
In Xinhui, he slashed Youyunlong's neck with a single sword; In Luoding, he set a fire all over the city, engulfing all the people; In Xiangshan, he ordered the sawing of Tayinbu, the Manchurian senator; In Guangzhou, the phrase "this wheel" made the whole city and Manzhou, young and old, go to Huangquan; In Chaozhou, because of his indulgence, how many forts were slaughtered; In Hunan, because of his order, tens of thousands of Han people died tragically in Dao, and how many Hunan Han people cried to the sky for food Xiucai is no longer the Xiucai of the past, behind his young face is a cold and iron-blooded heart, and his hands are stained not only with the blood of his enemies, but also with the blood of his compatriots.
After the Tang King agreed to supervise the country, everyone thought that Zhou Shixiang had become weak and allowed the Tang King and those civil officials to bully him, but they didn't know that in Xiucai's eyes, these people were not worthy of being his enemies at all.
And the king of Tang is not his enemy.
Not now, and not in the future.
Tang Wang's actions look more like a child's trick to maintain his dignity, in order to keep himself from being regarded as a puppet by others, or a temptation for him to show talent.
Zhou Shixiang didn't care how many officials Tang wanted to seal and how many people he had, because the more he did this, the more it meant that he didn't know what was worth fighting for.
Zhou Shixiang's concession was just that he didn't want to clash with Tang Wang on these things that seemed to him to be insignificant, which would lead to disharmony between the monarch and the ministers, and make the outside world mistakenly think that he was really another Sun Kewang.
However, a kind of concession and forbearance will inevitably make Tang Wang have unrealistic illusions, so Zhou Shi drew up a list of these six left servants.
After the list of six squires arrived in the hands of King Tang, King Tang was silent, and for a long time after that, he stayed honestly in the palace of Pingnan that was changed to Xing, and did not point fingers at the appointment and dismissal of officials.
And Zhou Shixiang did not put forward any requirements for the appointment and dismissal of officials, and devoted himself to the Northern Expedition, and the establishment of the Guangzhou Imperial Court and the handling of the Tang Dynasty's supervision ceremony were all handled by the cabinet.
Song Xianggong and Yuan Kuoyu, as Zhou Shixiang's spokespersons in the cabinet, must compete with Guo Zhiqi when it comes to interests.
The former is better, more or less cheeky and knows the proportions, and the latter is in the cabinet at every turn, "My marshal said, my marshal mentioned", so angry that Guo Zhiqi's black face is not, nor is his white face, and he almost pointed at Yuan Kuoyu's face several times and scolded this court for being opened by your marshal.
It's also thanks to Scholar Guo who calmed down and didn't tear it in person, otherwise Scholar Yuan, a good protégé of Master Hong Chengchou of the Five Provinces who was completely shameless, would really be able to give a mouthful, in that case, the scene would be very embarrassing.
Hong Yuao, a cabinet scholar, is the spokesperson of the Huguang Loyal Battalion and the Thirteen Shake Huang families in the Tang Dynasty's regime, although because of the relationship between Emperor Longwu, he supports the Tang King from the heart, but when Guo Zhiqi and Song Xianggong have a dispute, Hong Bachelor always habitually comes forward to persuade the scene, rather than helping which party.
Ding Zhixiang is an old minister of the Shaowu regime, and his closeness to the Tang King is naturally no worse than that of Hong Yuao, but although he did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he has always been a guest of local officials in the Qing Dynasty before the recovery of Guangzhou.
If it weren't for Zhou Shixiang picking him out and appointing him as a criminal officer in order to make a façade, I am afraid that when the local government liquidates and replaces the gentry officials of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, he will inevitably be listed on the street.
When Wencun persuaded him to enter, he also supported the light of Shaowu's old ministers, and Ding Zhixiang was able to show his face in front of King Tang.
But that's just it, with Ding Zhixiang's qualifications, he can't enter the cabinet, or Tang Wang Nian Tuo Guo Zhiqi preceded that Shaowu's old ministers should be someone to enter the cabinet, and this piece of pie fell on Ding Zhixiang's head, otherwise how can he have a share in the great thing of entering the cabinet to govern the government.
Tang Wang ordered Ding Zhixiang to enter the cabinet, Guo Zhiqi originally had some opinions, but thinking that it would not be a bad thing to have one more person in the cabinet who was close to His Royal Highness the Tang King, and this Ding Zhixiang had been the six officials to which Zhou Shixiang belonged, and there was an intersection in Zhou Shixiang's military marshal's mansion, and there was always a greeting when there was something in the future, and if it didn't work, there would always be a help in the cabinet. never thought that this Ding Zhixiang not only did not help Guo Zhiqi, but got very close to Song Xianggong and Yuan Kuoyu.
Guo Zhiqi said something, he didn't squeak, as soon as Song Yuan spoke, he immediately seconded the proposal, so angry that Guo Zhiqi hated Tang Wang for seeing the wrong person, and introduced this white-eyed wolf into the cabinet.
At present, there are five people in the cabinet, Song Xianggong, Yuan Kuoyu, and Ding Zhixiang are hardcore Zhou Parties, Hong Yuao does not help each other, and Guo Zhiqi is the first assistant, but it is difficult to speak alone, which makes it difficult to make a decision during the cabinet discussion, so I have to put my hope on the upcoming secondary auxiliary city wall.
Zhou Shixiang's letter was personally sent to the governor's yamen by Ye Jianyuan, the first town of the C Brigade Brigade under the city.
After the letter was delivered, Ye Jianyuan did not say anything threatening, but ordered his subordinates to "drill and deploy troops" outside the city.
The commander of Qinzhou was Lei Xianchu, the general who went to Luoding on the order of Zhang Xiaoqi to prepare to annex the Taiping Battalion, but now he has been promoted to be the chief soldier.
In the face of the inquiries of the Governor and the Governor, it took a long time for Chief Lei to come up with a sentence: "I dare not stop it." ” Helplessly, Lian Chengbi and Zhang Xiaoqi finally lowered their heads and came to Guangzhou.
The Tang Dynasty's regime gave the second assistant of the cabinet and the head of Xiao Jiuqing may not be much attracted to these two, and even the city wall regards itself as a loyal minister of Yongli, and if he wants to take refuge in Tang Wang and Zhou Shixiang, he would have voted long ago, and he did not have to wait until today.
The same is true of Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor of the four prefectures, but the two governors still don't have the courage to try to defeat the invincible Taiping army in Guangdong, so they can only pinch their noses and go to Guangzhou.
As soon as the two left Qinzhou, Lei Xianchu led his troops out of the city to accept the reorganization of the Taiping Army, and 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 Lian Chengbi and Zhang Xiao arrived in Guangzhou, the Tang Dynasty sent Pan Yinglong, the former eunuch of the loyal battalion and the eunuch of the inner court, who was now the eunuch of the inner court and the eunuch in charge of the seal, to personally go out of the city to greet him.
On the cabinet side, Ding Zhixiang also went to greet him.
Zhou Shixiang heard that Lian and Zhang were coming, so he only said "I know" and stopped asking.
After Pan Yinglong welcomed Lian Chengbi and Zhang Xiaoqi into the city, he took the two of them to see the Tang King.
Along the way, Pan Gonggong wanted to be close to Lian and Zhang, although he was appointed by the Tang King as the Si Li palm seal, but in the final analysis, he was a person from the inner court of Yongli, and the Tang King may not have much trust in him.
These days, I heard that His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty is about to supervise the country, and there are many eunuchs in Guangzhou, including those in the inner court of the Chongzhen Dynasty, Fujing in the Longwu Dynasty, and those in the Shaowu Dynasty, and a few of them are from the Tang Dynasty.
For these eunuchs, the king of Tang ordered all the people to be in the line, and there were originally twenty-four eunuchs and yamen in the interior, but now of course there is no need for so many, and there are not so many internal officials available.
Therefore, the Tang Dynasty reinstated the three eunuchs of Si Li and Si Shi and Shang Bao, and the other was the Honor Guard Bureau, which probably placed more than 100 eunuchs.
The establishment of a yamen in the inner court requires expenditure, and the king of Qian Tang does not have it, so he can only allocate it to Zhou Shixiang. oshow7 t1706231537:
