Shaozhou Prefecture, Qujiang County.

This small town in northern Guangdong, surrounded by mountains, is now the capital of Guangdong Province in the Qing Dynasty.

When the news of the defeat of the King of Pingnan of Guangzhou was defeated and captured by King Shang Kexi reached the Jieyang front line, the Qing army, which was confronting Prince Zhu San at Jieyang City, could no longer hold back and immediately collapsed. Yan Ziming, Miao Zhixiu, Zhang Guoxun, Deng Guangming, Zhang Mengji and other troops were defeated by more than 20,000 troops. They abandoned artillery, military supplies, and camps, and fled in panic. First they rushed to Mianhu Village, and then ran away with Guangdong Governor Liu Bingquan, abandoned Puning County and Mianhu Village, ran all the way out of the Chaozhou Prefecture, and fled to Huizhou Prefecture before they stabilized their positions.

Then Liu Bingquan ordered Yan Ziming, Miao Zhixiu, Zhang Guoxun and others to divide their troops to guard Huizhou Prefecture, Heyuan, Lianpingzhou, Changning and Longmen County of Guangzhou Prefecture. He and Deng Guangming, Zhang Mengji, and the Chaozhou Prefecture's joint commander Fengmingshan, to retreat to Shaozhou Prefecture.

At this moment, some Qing Dynasty officials who escaped from Guangzhou also ran to Qujiang, the head county of Shaozhou Prefecture. So Liu Bingquan apologized for the crime while raising the Qing Dynasty's Guangdong Governor's Office in Qujiang again.

Although the yamen was laid, it was almost half less officials. The way to escape from Guangzhou was not easy! There were typhoons and heavy rains, and there were troublemakers and robbers and robbers and robbers along the way. When crossing Liuxi River, many people were squeezed into the water and drowned. After crossing Liuxi River, they were starving all the way because of food shortage, and the local tourists along the way surrounded the building and closed the doors, and did not even miss a group of refugee officials. When Liu Bingquan ran to Qujiang, Shaozhou, it was so miserable! Even the vassal tower of Guangdong Province, Nietai, was gone, and the original Guangzhou prefect was gone. The officials who were worthy of weight in Shaozhou were only Guangdong Governor Liu Bingquan, Guangdong Governor Xue Zhang, Guangdong Admiral Shang Zhijie, Pingnan Prince's Commander Shang Zhilong, Pingnan Prince's Deputy Commander Shang Zhilong, Honglu Temple Chief Jin Guang and other few people were.

Only these officials were uneasy. Except for Xue Zhang, they all handed out apology and were waiting for Emperor Kangxi to give them a speech.

Although Xue Zhang, the Guangdong Academy of Sciences, did not submit a memorial to the apology, Shang Zhixin "sentiated himself" through him. The letter of help brought by Jin Guang was also passed by him. Who made him the largest official in the Guangzhou Prefecture City that day? So he was like others, waiting for Emperor Kangxi's decree.

On June 15th, Emperor Kangxi finally sent the imperial guards to Liu Bingquan, Xue Zhang, Shang Zhijie, Shang Zhilong and others to pass the imperial edict. The ones who passed it was not the official imperial edict, but the court sent it.

In addition to a few edicts, the imperial guard also sent a "private message" by Tu Hai, a Grand Secretary of Zhonghe Palace, to the Admiral Guangdong Xue Zhang, the incident was a bit unusual.

In addition, these edicts were all given to Liu Bingquan, Xue Zhang, Shang Zhijie and Shang Zhilong, and there was nothing golden.

Although Jin Guang was Shang Kexi's military advisor, he had the official position of the Minister of the Honglu Temple, and he was one of the nine ministers!

This is also a bit weird.

But no matter how unusual or strange it is, Liu Bingquan, Xue Zhang, Shang Zhijie, and Shang Zhilong still have to accept the imperial edict and read the imperial edict.

But they did not drive away the pitiful Jin Guang away, although Jin Guang had the official position of the Zhengqing of the Honglu Temple, his official position was empty, and his real identity was still the dog of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. Therefore, Shang Zhijie and Shang Zhilong could read the decree, which was equivalent to the Jin Guang's ability to read.

"What? Ping, King Pingnan and Duke Altan have become loyal and fierce? I'm not wrong?"

In the second hall of the Guangdong Governor's Office in Qujiang County, Liu Bingquan, the first person to pick up the Ting Jie to look around, took a few glances and couldn't help but scream.

As he spoke, he handed the court in his hand to Xue Zhang. The court sent to Liu Bingquan, Xue Zhang, Shang Zhijie and Shang Zhilong.

Xue Zhang took Tingji and looked carefully. His eyebrows were already twisted into a ball, and then he looked at the golden light, "The emperor said that the prince and Altan Gong have both died in Guangzhou City. Shang Wuye will succeed to the throne as the new King of Pingnan."

When the old man Jin Guangjin heard this, tears came down, "Prince, the Second Prince"

Kangxi's decree was equivalent to sentenceing the death penalty of monk Shang Kexi to the Qing Dynasty, they were already dead!

For Zhu Heying, Shang Kexi, the value of Shang Zhixiao was left with only one death. These two guys were too cruel to the Guangdong people. Killing them can relieve the hatred of the Guangdong people and win people's hearts for Zhu Heying.

So these two people will definitely die!

As for Shang Zhixin, Shang Kele, Li Tianzhi, and Wang Guodong, who were still trapped in Xinhui City, it seems that there is only one way to die.

Because for the Qing Dynasty, they were also dead!

Liu Bingquan sighed: "For the sake of the court's dignity, I have to do this."

The old man Jin Guangjin just cried.

Liu Bingquan looked at Shang Zhijie with a sick face again and comforted him in a low voice, "We slaves must understand our master's difficulties."

Shang Zhijie felt so sad! He was very happy to Ama Shang, his eldest brother Shang Zhixin, and his second brother Shang Zhixiao was loyal and loyal.

But why is it not him who succeeded the throne, but his fifth brother Shang Zhidian?

But no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only thank the Lord for his kindness.

At this time, Xue Zhang took out the decree that Emperor Kangxi sent to him, and at the same time allowed Liu Bingquan, Shang Zhijie and Shang Zhilong to read together.

"Liu Futai," Xue Zhang finally smiled after reading this edict, "The emperor asked us to hold a Guangdong provincial examination to get twice as much filial piety and integrity."

"Is that true?" Liu Bingquan also laughed, then reached out to take Ting Ji from Xue Zhang's hand and looked up. The more he looked, the happier he became.

This is a good thing!

First of all, he and Xue Zhang's officials also became emperors and asked them to hold the Guangdong Provincial Examination. They would definitely not be punished!

Secondly, holding a large-scale provincial examination is an opportunity to make money!

The emperor said in the court that he could get twice as many juren as the last Guangdong provincial examination.

Now all eleven counties in Guangzhou, one county in Zhaoqing Prefecture, and five counties in Chaozhou have been lost. Qiongzhou Prefecture is no longer able to contact us because the only port of Haikou, which leads to the mainland, is occupied.

There are still a few counties left in Chaozhou that have not been lost for long.

Therefore, the number of scholars in the prefectures such as Zhaoqing, Shaozhou, Huizhou, Jiaying, Gaozhou, Leizhou and Lianzhou is more than half less than the previous session!

In this case, it is obvious that the juren's quota will be doubled. The emperor means to use the juren's fame to win over the powerful people in Guangdong.

It doesn’t matter whether there is any knowledge or not!

Therefore, it is natural that Xue Zhang, who presided over this provincial examination, and Liu Bingquan, co-organized by the provincial examination, charge a little "tutoring fee" from it.

The money Liu Bingquan embezzled over the years was hidden in the backyard of the Guangdong Governor's Office, and now it is gone, so I just took this opportunity to make some money back.

Just as he was thinking about how to make money, Xue Zhang suddenly exclaimed: "What?"

Liu Bingquan was startled and quickly looked up to look. He found that Xue Zhang was trembling with a piece of letter paper. The letter paper should have been sent to Xue Zhang by Grand Secretary Tu Hai.

"Xue Tixue," Liu Bingquan asked at Xue Zhang with a look of horror, "What is written on Tu Linzhou's letter?"

Xue Zhang's face was pale and did not answer Liu Bingquan's words. Instead, he looked up at Jin Guang, "Mr. Jin, Grand Secretary Tu, he wanted to ask you to be the loyal and heroic Qing Dynasty together!"

It turns out that the trouble that Kangxi asked Xue Zhang to solve was Golden Light!

Because apart from Jin Guang, people who did not have enough weight in the Qing court camp have seen Shang Kexi, so as long as Jin Guang was loyal and fierce, Shang Kexi could naturally become loyal and fierce.

When Jin Guang learned that Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixin was being killed by Zhonglie, he knew that he might be dead, but he didn't expect that his death would come so quickly.

But he had no choice but to sigh: "The main slave dies, and the slave has to die, but the life of the slave is also life!"
