After Suiye Maweijiang's incident, Guo Song learned from the painful experience and began to carry out reforms in various places. The content of the reform was to separate the military, political and criminal departments, and control them by different chief officials. In addition, the Taxation Department and the Salt and Iron Transfer Department were also directly controlled by the imperial court.
Tube.
Of course, Lingnan is no exception. First of all, Guo Song canceled the title of Lingnan Economic Envoy and changed it to pacification envoy. This is actually a temporary position. After the political situation is settled and the states are operating normally, the pacification envoy will be abolished, leaving only
The salt and iron transportation envoys, the city shipping envoys and the prison inspection envoys will also retain an appropriate amount of troops stationed in Guangzhou. They will not participate in government affairs and will only be responsible for putting down rebellions or resisting invasions.
It will take at least three or four years for Lingnan to be completely stable. Guo Song has decided that Kang Bao will be the governor of Guangzhou. The salt and iron transportation envoy, the city shipping envoy and the prison inspection envoy will be decided by the imperial court. As for Kang Bao, he recommended the eunuch An Baochun to succeed him.
The city's envoy, Guo Song, also asked the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs to consider it together. Kang Bao was very accurate in judging people. He generally would not recommend officials easily, but Guo Song still considered Kang Bao's suggestion.
Now he wanted to select the people to be the Lingnan pacification envoy. The Ministry of Personnel recommended seven people. Guo Song thought about it again and again, and finally focused on Xue Changshou, the secretary and supervisor.
In the Western Regions, Xue Changshou was his army. When Guo Song was in Fengzhou, Xue Changshou was also a long history officer and was deeply trusted by Guo Song.
Xue Changshou was also on the list of the first batch of counselors. However, Xue Changshou was out of character when he competed with the people for sons, so he was removed from the position of counselor and appointed as counselor. After the restoration of the court, Xue Changshou was appointed as secretary supervisor.
Ling, in fact, this is a false position. He can't control any of the Jin Palace, the inner guard, and the staff room below the Secretary Supervisor, so Guo Song considered letting him go out to Lingnan to serve as the pacification envoy.
Pan Yue pondered for a moment and said: "If you let Xue Changshou go to Lingnan, is it because he is a little older? Wei Chen means, can your highness talk to Xue Changshou first?"
Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "Xue Changshou grew up in Zhangzhou. He is adaptable to the climate in Lingnan. Besides, he has excellent medical skills and good health care. Even though he is sixty years old, he looks like someone in his forties.
About the same age."
Du You said: "His Royal Highness decided to let Xue Changshou go, and I believe that the Zhengshitang will not object. After all, he is also one of the candidates proposed by the Zhengshitang. The minister agrees with Pan Xiangguo's opinion, and Xue Changshou himself needs to be sought for this matter."
Opinion."
"Where is Pan Xiangguo?" Guo Song looked at Pan Yue again.
Pan Yue nodded, "If His Highness decides to let him go, Wei Chen has no objection!"
"Okay! I'll go talk to Xue Changshou."
As long as both the left and right prime ministers agree, the Zhengshitang can usually pass it. For important personnel appointments like this, the Zhengshitang usually recommends a list of no less than five people, and then Guo Song selects one person from them.
If Guo Song wants to appoint people outside the list, the best way is to ask the Zhengshitang to add people to the recommendation list. If he cannot be recommended by the Zhengshitang, and there are more than five ministers in the Zhengshitang opposing it, then Guo Song will be the same even if he forcibly appoints someone.
invalid.
This was to prevent Lu Qi from being appointed as prime minister. In fact, the government and the public at that time generally opposed Lu Qi's appointment as prime minister, and other prime ministers in the political affairs hall also disagreed. However, Li Shi still used his imperial power to force the appointment. It was Lu Qi who was responsible for the incident.
Things catered to Li Shi, which finally led to the disaster of the eunuch.
Guo Song came to Xue Changshou's official office. The secretary supervised the three major organizations below. The inner guard was commanded by Wang Yue, the Jin Wei Mansion was commanded by Guo Yuniang and Song Tian, and the staff office was headed by Lu Lun. Therefore, as a secretary and supervisor, Xue Changshou really had no
He is like a concierge in a mailroom. He is responsible for distributing documents sent by other ministries and monasteries to the following three agencies. He is responsible for distributing documents submitted by the three agencies to other ministries and monasteries.
Guo Song came to the door of Xue Changshou's official room and saw him sitting at the table reading a newspaper. Guo Song knocked on the door. Xue Changshou saw that it was the King of Jin who had come. He quickly put down the newspaper and stood up, "Why is your highness here?"
Guo Song smiled and said: "I was just walking around and happened to come here, so I stopped by to see you."
"Your Highness, please take a seat!"
Xue Changshou quickly moved a chair and asked Guo Song to sit down, and then ordered the tea boy to serve tea.
"How is Inspector Xue's health lately?" Guo Song asked with a smile.
"My health is not bad. Your Highness knows that I am a military doctor, so I have been taking good care of myself. I can eat and sleep well. I walk thousands of steps every night. I feel no different from ten years ago."
Guo Song had a close friendship with Xue Changshou, so there was no need to beat around the bush. He did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "I am considering letting Xue Jianling change his environment. I wonder if Xue Jianling is willing to go to Lingnan to serve as an official and serve as Lingnan's pacifier."
"
Xue Changshou obviously did not expect this to happen. He was stunned for a moment and then fell silent.
Guo Song continued: "Pan Xiangguo and Du Xiangguo both agree that you go to Lingnan, but they are worried about whether your body can withstand the long journey and the climate in Lingnan?"
Xue Changshou said slowly: "My health is not a problem. I am a doctor. How is my health? I know in my heart that the key is that I can't worry about my family."
"You can't worry about your son!"
Xue Changshou nodded, "My son is only four years old and relies heavily on me. I can't worry about leaving him in Chang'an."
"Can your son take the boat?" Guo Song asked.
"Your Highness allows me to take him to Guangzhou?" Xue Changshou asked in surprise.
Guo Song laughed and said: "The pacifier is not the military envoy. The pacifier does not care about the army, so Xue Jianling brought his son to take office. In fact, it is not a big problem. He can bring more people, including the child's mother, wet nurse, servants and maids, etc.
Take him away, I am just concerned that he is still young and can he take a sea ship?"
"This is not a big problem. In fact, children don't get seasick very much, but adults get very seasick. Besides, I can prepare anti-seasickness medicine and drink it beforehand. It should prevent seasickness."
Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "Then I take it that Inspector Xue agrees to take up the post of Lingnan Comforter?"
"Since His Highness values Wei Chen so much, Wei Chen is willing to serve as Lingnan's pacifier!"
.........
The news that the imperial court had regained Lingnan also made Lin Yaozu, the proprietor of Baoji Hall, very nervous. Because they were thousands of miles apart and blocked by mountains, the news was very limited. Quanzhou basically would not know about what happened in Guangzhou. Even if they did find out later, it would usually be businessmen who accidentally passed on the news.
It was passed on, but it is very possible that Quanzhou never knew about it.
For example, when Lu Sigong put down the rebellion of Geshuhuang in Guangzhou, the Quanzhou government did not learn about it from businessmen until three years later.
This is also the reason why Yao Guangping wants to set up an intelligence station in Chang'an. He cannot be ignorant in Quanzhou. He didn't wake up until the imperial army came to the city.
Chang'an is the place where intelligence from all over the world gathers. You can know a lot of information about Quanzhou in Chang'an. For example, the imperial army is stationed in Jiangnan. It is impossible for Quanzhou to know this kind of information. The information must be collected by the intelligence station in Chang'an and sent to Quanzhou.
Lin Yaozu learned from the Tianxia Xinbao that the imperial court had regained Guangzhou. He then found the Chang'an Express. He searched for newspapers for several days in a row, but none of them had the details he wanted.
For example, did the imperial court directly instigate the army to rebel against Guangzhou, or did it send a large army to Guangzhou? If it was the latter, how many troops were sent? Did the army go by land or by sea? What was the final situation of the battle? Other details are unknown.
For two days in a row, Lin Yaozu was like an ant on a hot pot. He tried everywhere to get information, but found nothing. At noon, a clerk came back in a hurry. Lin Yaozu quickly stepped forward and asked, "Have you heard anything?"
"Bizhi went to the dock and asked, and all the shipowners said that they didn't see any big ships that could go to sea, but..."
"But what?"
Lin Yaozu said anxiously: "Say it quickly!"
"A shipowner said that although the imperial court does not have sea-going ships, they can rent sea-going ships to go to sea."
Lin Yaozu's eyes lit up, that's right! Why didn't he think that he could rent a sea ship? There are a huge number of them. It must be the Liu family. Maybe the Liu family knew about the imperial court sending troops."
Thinking of this, he summoned several doctors and asked: "Have you ever seen the Liu family? It turns out that the Liu family in Yangzhou is a wealthy family that owns many ships!"
All the doctors shook their heads, "Proprietor, a wealthy family like the Liu family should have its own doctor!"
Lin Yaozu thought it was right, so he called over a dozen guys, "You all go out and find out where the Liu family's mansion is? I guess some scoundrels know about it. If it doesn't work, just spend some money and ask them to help find out."
Several waiters agreed and left one after another.
At this time, physician Wang Fu came forward and said: "Proprietor, I seem to have a patient who knows the Liu family's information better. I can go and inquire about it."
Wang Fuzhi was previously identified as the doctor who caused the incident. Lin Yaozu spent 500 yuan to quell the medical incident. However, this incident seemed to have caused a big blow to Wang Fuzhi. He had been in a low mood during this period.
Lin Yaozu did not persuade him and let him recover slowly on his own.
Lin Yaozu was overjoyed when he heard that Wang Fuzhi was able to find out the news about the Liu family. He quickly said: "Hurry up and find out. Go and come back as soon as possible."
Wang Fuzhi agreed, picked up the medicine box, took an ox cart out of Xinchangfang, and headed towards Dongshi.
