Guo Zhiyuan worked as the mayor's secretary before traveling through time. He was very capable of dealing with officials. He smiled confidently and said, "The mountain man has his own tricks. At that time, please help me cooperate. One of us is a red face and the other is a white face. Keep the custody and the other one is a white face. Let these officials from the capital obey!..."

Xu Guangqi's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this and said in surprise: "What are the tricks of sir?"

Guo Zhiyuan approached Xu Guangqi and whispered like this. After hearing this, Xu Guangqi looked at Guo Zhiyuan dumbfoundedly. After a while, he said with uncertainty: "This... can this work? He... they are the officials of the court after all. After all, Ruo... How can something happen to the end?..."

Guo Zhiyuan is not as cautious as Xu Guangqi. He has never been a person who is afraid of trouble. He patted Xu Guangqi on the shoulder and laughed: "Sir, don't worry, I have a sense of responsibility, we will act according to the plan!"

This time, there were quite a few Beijing officials sent to Dongfan, with more than a dozen people, and the lineup was strong. In addition to the candidates for the chief officials recommended by Emperor Wanli, such as the magistrate, the magistrate, the magistrate and other officials who held high power, they had sent people. If these people really wanted to occupy the position, then Guo Zhiyuan would not only build Dongfan, but would just wait to argue with these officials every day.

At this time, these officials were sitting on a big blessed boat and heading towards the east. Most of them went out to sea for the first time. At this time, the sea was sunny and there was no seasickness, so they all gathered on the deck leisurely and chatted leisurely while enjoying the magnificent scenery on the sea.

The chat naturally cannot be separated from the purpose of their trip to Dongfan, so everyone soon raised the topic to Guo Zhiyuan. A handsome man wearing a seventh-grade official uniform said carefully: "I heard that Guo Zhiyuan is not the one who is easy to meet. Even Xiang Shen can't do anything to him. He was made tortured by him during the court discussion..."

A middle-aged man wearing a sixth-rank official uniform with a fat head and big ears sneered disapprovingly: "We are all officials of the court, representing the court. Although Guo Zhiyuan is the prefect, he has to listen to the court. Shen Xiang is just too kind and ruthless and not tough enough, otherwise he would not be forced by the Donglin Party members to resign on his own initiative..."

This fat and big-eared middle-aged man named Zhang Songbai, who is a Chu party. His ancestors still have some relatives with Zhang Juzheng. Although Zhang Juzheng fell, the Chu party's power in the court is still quite large (Note: Zhang Juzheng is from Hubei, and many Hubei officials rely on him and gradually form a group of cliques. Hubei is Chu territory, so it is called Chu party). So although Zhang Songbai is not of high rank, his background in the court is not weak. He does not take Shen Yiguan too seriously in his words. Zhang Songbai went to Dongba this time to serve as Tongzhi of Dongba Prefecture. Tongzhi is the assistant of the prefect, and he is in charge of grain, catching thieves, coastal defense, river defense, water conservancy, etc. It is obvious that he wants to divide Guo Zhiyuan's power, so Zhang Songbai is also working hard to make an aggression with Guo Zhiyuan.

Zhang Songbai's words immediately attracted the approval of many flatterers, but some people were unhappy. Another middle-aged man next to him, who was also wearing a sixth-rank official uniform snorted coldly: "This Guo Zhiyuan is not simple. When he was still a magistrate in Gutian, he dared not to sell his face and beat his chief clerk to death. The chief clerk is said to be a relative of Huang Sihua, the governor at the time of Fuzhou. As a result, he did not have anything to do. Instead, Huang Sihua was ruined by him... Lord Zhang should be careful!"

The person who spoke was named Liu Anzhi, who belonged to the Zhejiang Party. This time he went to Dongfan to serve as the magistrate of the Dongfan Prefecture. Among the officials sent by the court, he and Zhang Songbai had the highest official positions, so naturally he did not want Zhang Songbai to steal his limelight. In addition, this time, the Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party in Beijing were both defeated, which made the Chu Party take advantage of the loopholes and snatched a lot of fat people from this group of officials who were released. Therefore, although Liu Anzhi also had the intention of fighting with Guo Zhiyuan, he still couldn't help but raise his quarrel with Zhang Songbai.

Of course, these Beijing officials can be released from abroad, and they all have their own information channels. They have done their homework before coming. Knowing that Guo Zhiyuan is not easy to mess with, many people also showed a worried look when they heard Liu Anzhi say this. When Zhang Songbai saw Liu Anzhi stand up and argue with him, he glanced at him with a gloomy face and sneered: "Mr. Liu has forgotten the purpose of our trip? Why do you have the ambition to destroy your own might? No matter how domineering Guo Zhiyuan is, he dare not openly confront the court. As long as we are united and united, what are you afraid of?!"

Zhang Songbai and Liu Anzhi started to squat, and other members of the Zhejiang Party and Chu Party also joined the debate. Only one young man in the seventh-rank official uniform shook his head and walked aside silently. His name was Wang Zheng, and he neither belonged to the Zhejiang Party nor the Chu Party, so he had no interest in the party. He saw that these colleagues had already squatted themselves before they arrived in Dongfan, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly. These people only knew internal struggles, and none of them could do anything, which really made him embarrassed to be with him.

Amid the endless debate among the crowd, the Dafu ship finally arrived in Dongfan. Everyone thought that although they were Guo Zhiyuan's subordinates, so many of them came from the capital, and Guo Zhiyuan had to come to greet him in person no matter how hard they were. However, the warm welcome scene they were looking forward to did not appear. Apart from the busy civilians, there was only a man in a blanket wearing a green gown waiting for them.

The man in a commoner was Zeng Qisheng. When everyone got off the boat, they greeted him, bowed and bowed, saying, "Sir, thank you for your hard work!"

Everyone was naturally angry when they were treated so coldly. Zhang Songbai glanced at Zeng Qisheng coldly and took the lead in saying: "Who are you? Any official position in Dongfan Prefecture? Where is Lord Guo?..."

Zeng Qisheng was not concerned about Zhang Songbai's aggressive questioning, and still said in a humble and arrogant manner: "Zeng Qisheng is Lord Guo's follower and has not served in Dongfan Prefecture. Lord Guo couldn't leave for a while, so he was sent to welcome you all!"

Zhang Songbai laughed furiously and said, "Guo Zhiyuan is too arrogant! We were appointed by the court to Dongfan for office, but he didn't even show his face and sent a follower to dismiss us. Does he still have the court in his eyes?!" Others also angrily condemned us.
