At the same time, a letter was delivered. The person who edited the letter was named Zhong Liang, who was Fang Xianfu's disciple. He quickly revised the letter and ordered it to be delivered to Fang Xianfu.
Fang Xianfu was dumbfounded. Even a fool understood that he had been hacked, and the consequences of being hacked were serious.
First, someone published an article in his name. This article immediately caused an uproar, especially in the capital. Many ministers criticized him verbally. This is still minor. The most important thing is that the attitude of the cabinet is very ambiguous and has not spoken out yet. This is
This means that the cabinet also has great doubts about other parties offering their husbands.
What's even more deceiving is that his disciples thought that their mentor had made his position clear in Zhejiang, so they stopped hiding it. When others asked if they were disciples of Wang Xue, these close confidants actually admitted it.
This recognition was tantamount to confirming that Fang Xianfu was a supporter of the New Deal, and that he had launched a counterattack, targeting the cabinet directly and becoming its enemy.
In fact, Fang Xianfu didn't mind whether it was Wang's school or the old school. Even when there was a dispute between schools, he did not stand up and express his position, because he studied under Wang Shouren, and he and Wang Gen were brothers in the same school.
The radicals who promoted Wang Xue were different
, Fang Xianfu believes that Wang Xue is just a philosophy and a profound knowledge. You only need to understand it in private, and there is no need to go out and cause disputes. Obviously he belongs to the moderate group, and like his mentor Wang Shouren, he is very enthusiastic about Wang Xue's radical approach.
Be dissatisfied.
Moreover, Wang Gen tied himself to the New Deal because of the need to promote Wang Xue. In the eyes of everyone in the world, Wang Gen was the New Deal and the New Deal was Wang Xue. However, Fang Xianfu also disagreed with this. He did not agree.
I don’t like the New Deal’s approach either
Wang Gen promoted Wang Xue. Wang Gen belonged to the Jiang Right faction. This was because Jiang You’s atmosphere was open and there were many unpopular scholar-bureaucrats. These politically frustrated people mixed their dissatisfaction with those in power into academic studies.
A unique style of Wang Xue sect was formed.
However, Fang Xianfu's background was completely different. His official career was at a rapid pace, and he was in the capital. Although he studied Wang's studies, he was extremely gentle and did not want to get involved with the New Deal and Wang Gen.
There is no doubt that Fang Xianfu, who was appointed governor of Zhejiang Province this time, was here to hold Xu Qian back according to Yang Tinghe's instructions. Fang Xianfu is obviously also a smart man. He will never think that he can stop the New Deal just by sitting in the yamen.
, his method is very simple, first stabilize the new army and master the new army
If you master the waterway inspections, waterways are the top priority of the New Deal. If you master the waterway inspections, as long as you are willing, as long as Fang Xianfu gives an order, you can let the waterway inspections intercept important criminals or search for prohibited goods.
When the cargo ship arrives, does Governor Xu Qian dare not to bow his head obediently?
Fang Xianfu's rank is higher than Xu Qian's.
In terms of strength, Fang Xianfu was protected by the imperial court and held military power in three provinces. Even though Xu Qian had the support of Wang Xue and the royal academy, how could he dare to touch a hair of the New Army?
Fang Xianfu came to Chun'an for this purpose. He had to observe the weaknesses of the New Deal, find some people who were dissatisfied with the New Deal, and then take advantage of it. He believed that there must be such a group in Zhejiang, which cheered the New Deal, and in Chun'an,
Originally from a merchant
In Lao Lao, because Xu Qian exposed the merchants, all the merchants have been wiped out by Xu Qian. But don't forget, even if they are wiped out, there must be many sympathizers of the merchants in Chun'an County. These people may become the target group that Fang Xianfu takes advantage of.
But now... all the layouts and plans have come to nothing. The balance of power has been immediately reversed just because of one article. Fang Xianfu's power comes from the six ministries of the cabinet, but now, the six ministries are scolding him.
, I’m afraid the cabinet’s attitude won’t be much better. If they don’t remove him from office and investigate, it would be considered polite. At the very least, it would be just a warning.
Fang Xianfu now seemed to have lost his focus all of a sudden and had to start planning again.
Sitting next to him is his close friend Zhou Zhou.
Mr. Zhou is from the capital and an old friend of Fang Xianfu. At this moment, Zhou Zhou is also frowning. Everyone feels that this matter is very difficult.
"Mr. Zhou, what do you think about this matter?" Fang Xianfu pretended to be calm and took a sip of tea, then asked slowly.
Zhou Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "Master Taiwan, can you immediately come forward to clarify?" At this point, Zhou Zhou consciously made a mistake. What he said was too low-level. What would happen if he clarified it? Wang Xue's matter, the big guys in the capital are all
I already know, can it be clarified by asking for clarification?
Fang Xianfu said with a gloomy face: "No, if it is clarified, the province will strongly oppose it. If someone provokes it, these people will jump out and cause trouble. And the princes in the court may not be able to trust me. I am in trouble both internally and externally. I can still stay here."
?”
Zhou Zhou hurriedly said: "My lord, what I'm saying is that we can't advance or retreat at the moment, so we can only wait and see. As long as your lord sticks to your heart, no one can move. Everything should be decided after things become clear."
good."
These words are more of a comfort than an advice, but there is nothing you can do about it. Although you know you have been hacked, what can you do? People have a thousand mouths, but you only have one. Moreover, Fang Xianfu and
Wang Shouren's relationship has been exposed. In the eyes of the princes, the royal party
It's the royal party. They have no interest in distinguishing between Jiang Rightists and moderates. No matter whether they are radical or gentle, they are all included in the list of punishment. In this case, they can only waste their time now. If they take the initiative to stand up and get beaten, they might as well cower in front of them.
, let’s see what action this person named Xu will take next.
Zhou Zhou was known for his cleverness, and even he had no idea. Fang Xianfu could only sigh and said: "That's fine, just stay here in Chun'an, don't go anywhere, just watch from the sidelines."
It was not easy to watch from the sidelines, because Fang Xianfu obviously did not expect that his opponent would be Xu Qian.
Xu Qian has a hobby, no matter what he does, he likes to do it the best. It is said that cheating you once is a favor, cheating you twice is natural, cheating you three times is Xu's style.
Since I stabbed you in the back, the next step is to cut you into pieces.
After a few days of rest at the governor's office, groups of royal captains gathered around Xu Qian's carriage and set off, aiming directly at Yuhang County.
"Sir, twenty miles ahead is Yuhang County. Do you want someone to report it?"
Xu Qian sat in the carriage, opened the curtain, and saw Lu Bing's face covered in dust. Lu Bing had lost a lot of weight, with two cheekbones protruding from his face, but he looked more resolute.
Xu Qian said with a smile: "Second brother, you have worked hard. Come and sit in the carriage when you are tired."
Lu Bing shook his head and said: "I am a team officer, so I should lead by example. Besides, I am used to walking."
Xu Qian could only say: "Okay, you send a scout to inform the Yuhang County Magistrate and tell him that I will inspect the river section and let him be prepared to entertain."
Lu Bing nodded and left quickly.
The scouts arrived in Yuhang County. After hearing the news, the Yuhang County magistrate immediately became busy. Zhejiang has been in troubled times recently. The governor went to Chun'an, and the governor came to Yuhang. Mr. Futai and Chun'an have an unclear relationship. As early as a few years ago,
Years ago, Chun'an County had many connections with Mr. Futai. As for Yuhang, Taitai came here a few days ago, and he just left. Why did Futai come?
The Yuhang County Magistrate was not a fool. He expected something big to happen. When groups of royal captains appeared at the city gate, the Yuhang County Magistrate couldn't help but shudder when he saw these murderous captains.
Standing next to him was Yang Biao, the commander-in-chief of the New Army. Yang Biao's face was even more ugly. However, the commander-in-chief of the New Army was stationed here. Now that the governor had arrived, there was no reason why he should not come to greet him. The governor had just given him
Made a promise and said yes
At the imperial court, someone sued him for deducting his military pay. It was someone from the Ministry of War who helped suppress him and saved him. The implication of this was to tell Yang Biao that from now on, if you, the chief military officer, still want to hang around, you have to deal with it.
His old man was obedient.
Yang Biao is not a fool, so he is naturally obedient. But what is he doing here? It seems that he has bad intentions, or is trying to win over him?
When they arrived at the city gate, the Yuhang County Magistrate, together with the Chief Military Officer Yang Biao, and a group of civil and military officials came to salute. Yang Biao said: "Your Excellency, why didn't you inform me as soon as possible when you came to Yuhang? I hope you will forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar."
Yang Biao was testing Xu Qian and wanted to see what Xu Qian's purpose was.
Xu Qian looked at him deeply: "Are you Mr. Yang?"
Yang Biao hurriedly said: "The next official is Yang Biao, the chief military officer of Zhejiang."
Xu Qian nodded towards him: "Go in and talk."
The group of people should have gone to the county government office, but Xu Qian ordered people to go directly to the government office of Commander-in-Chief Wang. Like the governor, this commander-in-chief was not a formal official position. Only when war broke out, a commander-in-chief was added and ordered.
He is in charge of military affairs only because Zhejiang changed its military system and simply set up a new army general officer to be responsible for the new army's military affairs.
The general's yamen was naturally built in a hurry, and since it was located in a county town, it was not much better.
Xu Qian walked in boldly, and the civil and military officials behind him followed him obediently. As for the soldiers and officers in the yamen, they naturally did not dare to stop him.
Immediately afterwards, groups of captains began to set up defenses, and the yamen was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. Xu Qian was already sitting high in the lobby. He did not let everyone sit down and talk, and no one could
I didn't dare to move seats for them, so I had to stand obediently.
"It's not bad here." Xu Qian looked at the lobby lightly and said slowly: "Isn't this where the commander-in-chief works?"
Yang Biao felt a little unhappy. The man named Xu was too arrogant and seemed to regard everyone as his personal slave.
