Chapter 273 Use domineering tactics! Kill the governor! (Fifth update)

After Zhang Guizai learned in advance from the secret message sent by Zhang Dai that King Yi had arrived in eastern Zhejiang, he took a part of the Guards and took advantage of the developed water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River to directly take a fast boat and arrived in eastern Zhejiang first.

But Zhang Gui didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in eastern Zhejiang, he would learn that Zhang Yandeng, the governor of Zhejiang, had gone to Shaoxing.

Zhang Gui felt something was wrong, so he came directly to Shaoxing first.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Gui arrived, he happened to see someone from the governor's Yamen.

Zhang Gui got off his horse directly at this time, and after paying homage to Shang Zhouzuo, he asked Zhang Yandeng in the sedan: "Zhang Fuyuan, do you want me to invite you out?"

After hearing what Zhang Gui said, Zhang Yandeng had to get out of the sedan chair and said with a face: "Uncle Zhang Guo, as for why His Majesty asked you to be the supervisor, this court really dare not ask more, and we cannot question it. However, this does not mean that,

This court really agrees that foreign relatives can interfere in politics. This dynasty has not yet reached the point where it needs a foreign relative to save the world!"

"Is it possible to rely on you civil servants? You civil servants did not make Ming Dynasty much better!"

Zhang Gui asked and said one thing.

Zhang Yandeng sneered: "This court will not argue with you now. This court will only ask you a fair word, Uncle Zhang Guo. Does this court have the final say in Zhejiang affairs? In Zhejiang, is this court the only one that can do this?"

Exercising power on behalf of the emperor?"

"This is natural."

Zhang Gui replied.

After hearing this, Zhang Yandeng said: "In that case, this court ordered them to hand over the false King Yi to this court. If they are unwilling to hand it over to this court, does this count as disobedience? Does this court have the right to kill them?"

Zhang Gui replied: "Yes!"

Zhang Yandeng sneered and said: "Uncle Guo still knows the rules of the court. In this case, this court will give the uncle Guo a face for the sake of Shang Gong being the uncle of Guo Yue Weng, and ask Uncle Guo to let them use the fake King Yi.

Hand it over."

After hearing this, Zhang Gui said: "Since the matter involves King Yi, it also involves a major treason case. How can I not investigate this matter? This matter will be directly handled by me! You don't need to interfere with the Imperial Academy!"

"Uncle Guo! This is wrong!"

Zhang Yandeng replied and said: "This is a fake King Yi, not the real King Yi, and this matter involves a merchant, and Uncle Guo is the son-in-law of a merchant, so he should avoid it as a rule. Therefore, Uncle Guo should directly handle this matter from me."

The court will review it and understand it, and then directly submit it to the court."

Zhang Gui did not expect that Zhang Yandeng would use the court's rules to control his superior.

Zhang Gui thought for a moment and then asked: "According to the new regulations issued by the Policymaking Department, when you go to the local area, you must first send an official letter to the county magistrate, and you are not allowed to disturb the local area privately. Do you have an official letter?"

Zhang Yandeng said with a smile: "If I don't bother my uncle Guo, how can we go to the countryside without an official letter?"

With that said, Zhang Yandeng ordered: "Get the official letter addressed to the prefect of Shaoxing and show it to Uncle Guo."

Not long after, Zhang Yandeng's staff brought the official letter.

After Zhang Yandeng received the official letter, he waved his hand in front of Zhang Gui: "Uncle Guo, have you seen it?"

Zhang Gui realized that Zhang Yandeng and the prefect of Shaoxing were deceiving the gentry in eastern Zhejiang. Unlike other governments, which would collude with the gentry, generally speaking, they would notify the gentry of the news in advance when the governor went to the countryside.

Although this is good, after all, it shows that there is no collusion between the government and the gentry.

But when it comes to actual situations, it's not a good thing.

For example, this time, it was obvious that these local officials were deliberately uniting to disrupt the affairs between the Xichang and the gentry in eastern Zhejiang behind Zhang Gui's back.

Zhang Gui said: "Bring the official letter to the governor to see!"

Zhang Yandeng did not hesitate and had someone pass the official letter to Zhang Gui.

After Zhang Gui got the official letter, he read it and after confirming it, he put the official letter on the torch of one of his followers and burned it.

Zhang Yandeng was shocked when he saw this and didn't know why Zhang Gui did this.

Zhang Gui, on the other hand, asked Zhang Yandeng after the official letter was burned: "Zhang Fuyuan, where is your official letter?"

Zhang Yandeng was not used to Zhang Gui's method for a while, so he said: "Uncle Guo, you are so unreasonable. Why do you ask me? You just burned the official documents of this court."

"I'm asking where the official letter is from you?!"

At this time, Zhang Gui shouted and asked directly.

Zhang Yandeng was stunned again: "You just burned the official document!"

"I would like to ask you again, where is your official letter?!"

Zhang Gui asked sharply again.

Zhou Zuo, Tao Chongdao, Zhang Dai and other gentry of Shang Dynasty understood it first and started laughing when they knew why Zhang Gui wanted to burn Zhang Yandeng's official documents.

Zhang Yandeng himself understood at this time and scolded directly: "Uncle Zhang Guo, you are shameless! What you did is clearly acting arrogantly."

"Zhang Fuyuan, you dare to go to the countryside to disturb the people without an official letter, and then blatantly want to exterminate the family of the former Otsuka Chief Sima. Who made you ignore the court rules like this?!"

Zhang Gui asked directly and said: "How dare you insult me! You are really bold!"

"This court!"

Zhang Yandeng's breathing became rapid.

"How dare you call yourself our hospital again!"

Zhang Gui shouted loudly, pointed at Zhang Yandeng, and said: "Take off his black gauze hat! Now the governor is acting on behalf of the emperor to act cheaply and remove him from his post! Please order the flag and behead him to bring peace to the local people!" "

"yes!"

Zhang Gui laughed secretly at this time and thought to himself: "This Zhang Yandeng dares to think of using court rules to regulate himself as a member of the court. It is really ridiculous. How can those rules he made in the policy making department restrain him?"

Zhang Yandeng really didn't expect that Zhang Gui would use such methods. For a moment, he could only roar: "Uncle Zhang Guo, you are shameless! If you do this, won't your conscience hurt?! I have obviously followed the rules of the court, but you must You want to make it look like I didn’t follow the rules. You are trying to mislead a deer into a horse! Do you think you can hide it from others by doing this?!"

"We indeed haven't seen any official letter from Fu Yuan."

"Yes! Logically, if there is an official letter from the Fu Yuan, it will be announced, but we haven't seen it."

"That's right, we didn't hear Fu Yuan say that he had an official letter just now."

At this time, the people present in eastern Zhejiang also began to tell lies.

Zhang Gui also said to Zhang Yandeng: "Since you are not convinced, well, I will ask them to send a message to the Shaoxing magistrate and ask him to tell him whether he has received your official letter."

Not long after, the prefect of Shaoxing came here.

Zhang Gui asked directly: "Prefect Lu, I would like to ask you, does Zhang Yandeng have an official letter to you?"

Magistrate Lu replied: "Yes!"

After hearing this, Zhang Gui said: "Come here, drag Lu Youde down and chop him down too. He dares to deceive the governor, which is like deceiving the emperor!"

When Magistrate Lu heard this, he realized that he had given the wrong answer, and quickly changed his words: "Supervisor, please forgive me! It was the official who remembered it wrong! There was no official letter from Fuyuan this month, and the official remembered it as the official letter from last month."

Zhang Guidao: "In that case, I only sentence you for neglecting your duties. You did not receive the official letter from the Fuyuan, but you still allowed the Fuyuan to go to the countryside to disturb the people without reporting it to the patrol. I dismissed you from your post as a civilian and handed over your duties to your colleagues. Go home."

"Yes! The inspector saw everything clearly! The dismissed members are deeply impressed."

Lu Youde agreed.

Here, Zhang Yandeng and the gentry in eastern Zhejiang have all seen Zhang Gui's methods.

Zhang Yandeng had no choice but to admit defeat for a moment and began to beg: "Uncle Guo, please spare my life! I am wrong! I should not benefit from the smuggling profits promised by the king, but I want to go against you. I only want a life!"

"Generally, I will not take back my words."

Zhang Gui said: "Cut it off!"

"yes!"

Whoosh!

Not long after, Zhang Yandeng was killed.

Then, Zhang Yandeng's head was raised in front of Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui took one look and said: "Bring King Yi over here!"

The nobles in eastern Zhejiang followed the instructions. At this time, after seeing Zhang Gui's methods and ruthlessness, they respected Zhang Gui even more. How could they dare to neglect!

King Yi was completely desperate. As soon as he was escorted to Zhang Gui, he knelt down and said, "Uncle Guo, if you let me go, I will give you all the wealth of the palace."
