Chapter 152 News
"Let me go in, I want to see the Governor, I want to see the Governor!"
Not long after the afternoon, a group of horse-riding soldiers rushed over in front of the gate of the Guangdong Governor's Office, which was renovated from the palace of Emperor Shaowu of the Southern Ming Dynasty. After the leader jumped off the horse, he ran straight into the gate regardless of the injuries on his legs. While running, he shouted loudly, with a very anxious expression on his face, and wished he could fly to the Guangdong Governor Li Shutai.
Guangdong is already hot in May, and the sun at noon is poisonous. According to the rules, noon will be ignored, no matter what officials ask for a visit to the Governor, because the Governor from the north is not very adaptable to the weather in the south, and they have to take a nap in the afternoon, otherwise they will be indifferent to the afternoon. Unless the two princes, King Pingnan and King Jingnan, come, the Governor will not see any guests and do business.
Because he knew the rule of the Governor, no one dared to let anyone in at this time, either the staff clerk of the Governor's office or the guards on duty, so as not to disturb the Governor's rest. Suddenly, an officer who was about to rush to the Governor's office came suddenly, and he shouted, which made the guards in front of the gate stunned, and then rushed up to see who had eaten the courage of the Governor's office so arrogantly in front of the Governor's office!
When they rushed up, the guards of the Governor's Office were stunned. It turned out that those who were riding horses were all from the Green Camp. The one who rushed into the gate was a general. But for some reason, the general had blood on his legs and seemed to be injured. When he heard the general shouting that there was a hundred thousand urgent military information to report, the guards couldn't help but hesitate, wondering if he should let this person in.
While the guards were hesitating, a clerk in the Governor's Office rushed out from the second gate in anger: The Governor is having lunch break, which bastard dares to shout outside like this. If this shocked the Governor, it would be great!
"Who dares to make noise in front of the Governor's Office? Why don't you take him down!"
The seventh rank official in front of the Prime Minister's Sect. Although the Governor of Guangdong is not the Prime Minister, he is also a powerful and powerful official. What's more, the wife of the current Governor Li Shutai is a royal family girl personally given by Emperor Taizu, and a serious royal relative. King Pingnan and King Jingnan cannot be arrogant when they see him. Under such power, although it is only a small clerk in the Governor's Office, the clerk's ambition and arrogance are no worse than those of the Prime Minister's Office. Although it can be seen at a glance that the person who wants to break into the Governor's Office is a green camp general, the clerk still waves his hand and asks the guards to take this person first. No matter what official you are, you cannot disturb the Governor's rest at this critical moment!?
With the order from the Book Office, the guards naturally stopped hesitating and rushed forward to get people.
Zheng Guodong finally escaped from Xinhui City, but was afraid of the Taiping Army chasing him along the way, so he did not dare to walk the official road in the east. Instead, he circled around Tan Jiang in the west, but ran into a group of Ming army soldiers on the road. After a fight, the following soldiers broke seven or eight, and were stabbed in the leg.
In order to rush back to Guangzhou to report, Zheng Guodong suffered a lot of hardships along the way. He didn't care about the injuries on his leg at all. He finally arrived outside the Governor's Office, so he could not care about any rules. He just wanted to meet the Governor quickly and report on the Taiping Army's capture of Xinhui City, and ask the Governor to quickly transfer troops to retake Xinhui City.
The military situation was urgent, but the group of people outside the Governor's Office did not allow themselves to go in. The Book Office also wanted the guards to take him down. Zheng Guodong was so anxious that he scolded the Book Office bastard, and was so angry that he shouted: "I have a 100,000 urgent military situation to report to the Governor. You can move out quickly and don't miss the big thing!"
"What a big deal! Even big things cannot be done at this time!"
The Book Office ignores Zheng Guodong. No matter what the matter is, even if the sky falls, it must follow the rules. Otherwise, everyone will rush into the Governor's Office like this and shout, do you still have to behave properly? Do you have to behave properly? If you really have a 100,000-strong military situation, there is another way to tell me about it. If you alarm the Governor for a shitty matter, who will take the blame after this? Today, I am the one on duty. If the Governor is unhappy, I will be in trouble!
"Damn it, get out of here!"
Seeing the situation of the book office, he just refused to let himself in. Zheng Guodong was anxious and pushed away the guards who wanted to take him. The book office was anxious when he saw this: Hey, this is still a bit stunned!
"Why are you standing stupidly? Why don't you take him down for me quickly!"
"twitter!"
The guards heard that Ling hurriedly stepped forward to catch Zheng Guodong. Zheng Guodong was injured in his leg and exhausted. In normal times, how could these guards from the Governor's Office take him into consideration, but they could not resist them and were dragged out and hugged them out. Zheng Guodong's personal soldiers were anxious when they saw this, but they did not dare to go forward and send the guards for the Governor General. After all, this is the yamen of the Governor's Office. Zheng Guodong dared to break out, but they dared not...
"Governor General, I am Zheng Guodong, Xinhui, I have important military information to report!..."
In desperation, Zheng Guodong had to open his throat and yell at the Governor-General's Crown Nei, which scared the clerk so much that he asked his personal soldiers to cover his mouth.
“Who is outside?”
Guangdong Governor Li Lutai, who was taking a afternoon break after the Governor's Office, was awakened by the movements from outside. He was a little angry and asked outside: "Who was shouting in front?"
Baoyi, who had been serving the two Li Rutai, brought from Beijing, hurriedly replied: "Sir, it is Zheng Guodong from Xinhui. He said that he had any important military information to report to the prince, but he was stopped by the front."
After hearing Baoyi’s reply, Li Lutai frowned. Zheng Guodong was not staying in Xinhui, so why did he come to Guangzhou? What important military information? Is Xinhui City lost?
Thinking of this, Li Lutai was immediately shocked and quickly ordered outside, "Bring the person here." When he walked to the tea table, he picked up the herbal tea and took a sip. He felt relieved. He glanced at the official documents sent by Beijing senders on the table, and couldn't help but frowned, sat on the stool and tapped his fingers, thinking about how to reply to Beijing.
When he heard that the Governor wanted to meet someone, the Office Office ordered the guards to let go of Zheng Guodong and led him into the Governor's Mansion. He felt quite nervous all the way, wondering if the Governor would look down on him because of this.
Li Lutai didn't have the intention of this bookkeeping, and was only thinking about Xinhui City. As soon as he saw Li Lutai, he knelt down with a "thump" and replied in tears: "Governor General, I am incompetent, Xinhui City is lost!"
"What? Xinhui City is lost!"
Hearing this, Li Rutaho jumped up with a whistle and said anxiously: "When will the thief conquer Xinhui!" (To be continued)
