Han Xiufeng had no airs at all. Peng Yangchun and Yongxiang were both generous military officers. Ronglu was not old but versatile. In addition, Director Zhang, who was entrusted to be loyal to others, kept making jokes, and the five people sat around the stove and chatted and laughed, which was a hit at first sight.

Just as the chat was very hot, Xiaoshandong ran in and said that the censor Huang Zhongyin of Huguang Road was coming. Everyone hurried to the main hall to pay homage. Seeing Huang Zhongyin's expression solemn, Peng Yangchun dared not stay in the guild hall for a long time. After a few greetings, he led everyone to leave.

Han Xiufeng also saw what Huang Zhongyin should have. He was about to ask. Ao Tongchen and Ao Cexian brothers arrived with Wu Zhaoling, a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy, and Li Pinsan, editor of the Hanlin Academy, and Ji Yunfei also walked over from the backyard.

All the people who came were their own people. Ji Yunfei didn't care about being polite. Seeing Huang Zhongyin's expression solemn, he subconsciously asked: "Brother Yonggong, don't you say you're not free today? What's wrong?"

Huang Zhongyin and Xiaoshandong had made tea and walked out of the main hall, and then said solemnly: "Hubei Governor Chonglun made a quick report of 600 miles. Huangzhou was defeated, and the whereabouts of Wu Wenrong, the governor of Huguang who led the troops to suppress the thieves, was unknown, and his life and death were uncertain! Fortunately, Zhixing did not go to Huguang to serve, otherwise we would not know what would be in a hurry now."

Han Xiufeng was shocked: "Brother Yongfeng, isn't Lord Wu defending the city in Wuchang? Why did he lead his troops to Huangzhou?"

"The siege of Wuchang has been lifted long ago," Wu Zhaoling, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy, explained: "The Guangdong bandits divided their troops to attack the west. Although they were unstoppable, they even captured Hanyang and Hankou in one breath, but in fact they only occupied eleven prefectures and counties along the river. Most of these prefectures and counties were distributed along the Yangtze River, and all the grain, oil and military capital depended on their navy. The front line was so long that it was the end of the strong attack to attack the city of Wuchang. Seeing that Jiang Zhongyuan was defeated from Tianjia Town, he gathered the remaining troops to support him, and then abandoned Hanyang and Hankou again and retreated to Huangzhou."

"What about Jiang Zhongyuan? Is Jiang Zhongyuan with Lord Wu?"

"Just said that the bandits occupied only eleven prefectures and counties. Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing obviously realized that the grain, oil and military resources of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, including those guarding Jiangning, were difficult to support them by relying on these eleven prefectures and counties, and tried to manage Anhui. The emperor naturally could not allow the bandits to be in Anhui, so he ordered Jiang Zhongyuan to act as the governor of Anhui to lead the Chu Yong, who was trained, to help Luzhou."

Han Xiufeng thought about it and asked again: "Brother Songsheng, do you know how many soldiers Mr. Wu has?"

Although Wu Zhaoling was a noble Hanlin official, he was more concerned about the battle than Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei, and had personal relationships with several ministers in the court. He said without hesitation: "As far as I know, after Jiang Zhongyuan left, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers in Wuchang City, and it was difficult to defend the city, let alone suppress it."

"Changmao was worried that the grain, oil and military funds would not be able to provide assistance and voluntarily abandon Hankou and Hanyang and retreat to Huangzhou. Changmao was powerful and Lord Wu had few soldiers. He was not determined to wait for assistance but led his troops to Huangzhou to attack and suppress the enemy. Isn't this a hit with an egg to strike the stone?"

Wu Zhaoling said helplessly: "Zhixing, you can only say these words in front of us, and you can't say them when you go out."

"Why can't you say it?" Han Xiufeng asked in confusion.

Wu Zhaoling did not return to his question, but stared at his eyes and said, "Zhixing, don't you know the war in Huguang, you should be very clear about the war in Jiangning, Yangzhou and Shanghai. The Guangdong bandits not only occupied Jiangning, but also divided their troops to the north, and even killed all the way to Zhili. The snatchers from other places were attacking the cities and territories, and they were ready to move. The Nian bandits in Henan and Shandong were in chaos, and the Songjiang Association made trouble. Do you think the emperor was anxious?"

Han Xiufeng suddenly realized why Wu Wenrong knew that there were only a few soldiers under him and could not win this battle, but he bit the bullet and led the soldiers to Huangzhou. It turned out that the emperor ordered him to go. In contrast, Qishan, Xiang Rong and Xu Naizhao were much smarter, and would rather be scolded and would rather be taken away than attack easily.

Wu Wenrong's life and death are uncertain. Wu Wenming, who went to join Wu Wenrong before the New Year, probably had a lot of luck. Han Xiufeng felt very uncomfortable. He didn't know what to say, but Huang Zhongyin suddenly took out a stack of "Palace Gate Copy" from his sleeve and handed it to him, "Zhixing, look at these, you will understand everything after reading them."

"Oh, I'll take a look first."

Wu Zhaoling looked over and immediately realized Huang Zhongyin's good intentions. Ji Yunfei couldn't help but come over. After a few glances, he suddenly remembered another person. He couldn't help looking back at Huang Zhongyin. Seeing that Huang Zhongyin's Gujing Bubo, he turned around and looked at Li Pinsan.

Just when Li Pinsan was confused by Ji Yunfei, Han Xiufeng, who was watching the "Palace Sect", was frightened.

To be precise, these are several memorials, including the governor of Huguang Wu Wenrong who impeached Hubei Governor Chonglun, and the governor of Hubei who impeached Huguang Wu Wenrong.

Wu Wenrong was indeed as upright as the legendary one. He was in fact ruthless in the memorials. Not only was he going to send bandits to the city, but the civil and military officials in Wuchang City were guarding the city all night long. Only Chonglun would go back to the yamen every time he was at dinner, saying that he was going back to eat, but in fact he was addicted to smoking cigarettes and other things to report to the emperor. Moreover, he impeached Chonglun for fear of death, and the enemy planned to take the opportunity to escape on the grounds of leaving the city to camp. After scolding Chonglun, he took the retreat as an advance at the end of the report, saying that he was not talented and knowledgeable, and did not understand military affairs, and begged to retire.

Han Xiufeng didn't know what kind of person Chonglun was, but from the comments on Chonglun, it can be seen that Chonglun is not simple at all. His comments did not say that Wu Wenrong was not like Wu Wenrong impeached him from the beginning, but reported the situation in Wuchang to the emperor in detail.

He said that when the bandits besieged Wuchang, there were not many people in the city, but then reinforcements arrived one after another, and more than 10,000 troops had been stationed inside and outside the city. After the bandits withdrew, Wuchang would have to spend money on food and money. Moreover, the main force of the bandits went to Luzhou, and there were only a few small bandits left in Hubei. The enemy was weak and we were strong, which was a good time to clear out the remaining bandits.

After laying the groundwork, he began to impeach Wu Wenrong, claiming that he had discussed the issue of sending troops with Wu Wenrong several times. Wu Wenrong insisted on waiting for Zeng Guofan to train the navy, and when the Guidong Hu Linyi led Qian Yong to arrive, he would discuss the issue of sending troops to attack and suppress the bandits. By the time Zeng Guofan, the daylily was cold.

As for why he, the governor, did not lead troops to fight, there was a reason, because he was sick! He said that he had become sick due to overwork in the city a while ago, and his liver disease recurred. The implication was that Wu Wenrong was the only one who led troops to fight.

Han Xiufeng had long heard that as long as the governor was in the same city, the governor would mostly be in disagreement, but he did not expect that the relationship between the governor and the governor would be so stalemate. He did not expect that Wu Wenrong, who was a model of civil and military officials, was cheated by Chonglun, and even died of death by Chonglun!

"Zhixing, do you understand now?" Huang Zhongyin stared at him and asked.

"I understand. He is full, so the emperor naturally believes in his one-sided words." Han Xiufeng said in a mixed mood.

"It seems you still don't understand." Huang Zhongyin sighed softly and said solemnly: "Mr. Wu is a straight-minded person, does not avoid resentment, and everything is based on facts. But the time for him to impeach Chonglun is wrong. The capital is thousands of miles away from Wuchang, and the emperor cannot tell the authenticity for a while. Even if it is verified, what can it do? If it is said that there are many officials like Chonglun who are greedy for life and fear of death. Yang Dianbang, but Minglun, Liu Liangju and others even surrender Yangzhou to the bandits. The emperor turned a blind eye?"

"Brother Yongbing, you mean..."

"Mr. Wu shouldn't have impeached Chonglun at the critical moment when the bandits were killed until Zhili. The enemy was in front of him, but the governor was fighting in his nest. What would the emperor think? Mr. Wu shouldn't have said that he would retire if he wanted to retire. The enemy was in front of him, and he didn't want to share the worries of the court, so he planned to give up the challenge. Naturally, the emperor would not be happy."

"Mr. Wu just said that."

"But some things can't be said." Huang Zhongyin took the "Palace Gate" and threw them into the brazier. Looking at the rising smoke, she sighed: "Actually, I am also hindsight, but you and I have to take this as a warning."

"Xiufeng is taught, Brother Xie Yongqing will give me some advice!" Han Xiufeng then realized Huang Zhongyin's good intentions. After all, although the Tongzhi of the south bank of the Yongding River is only a fifth rank, he has to face not only Wu Tingdong, a Shangding River, but also the Grand Secretary, the Chief Master of Shangshufang, Jia Zhen, the Minister of Works, Peng Yunzhang, and the Governor of Zhili, cannot be offended. It is not like even in Taizhou, even if he causes great disasters, he will be protected by Guo Peilin, nor is it like in Shanghai, Qiao Songnian or even Xu Naizhao.

Huang Zhongyin just signaled him to sit down, and Ji Yunfei frowned and said, "This Chonglun is so hateful!"

"Hmph! I think Chonglun is not proud for a few days." Wu Zhaoling put down the teacup and said coldly: "Who is Lord Wu? Lord Wu loves the virtuous and is ecstatic when he finds a virtuous person. He can be said to be full of talents. Not only Zeng Guofan's mentor, he also has the kindness of support to Jiang Zhongyuan, Hu Linyi and others, not to mention that life and death are still uncertain now, even if... even if there is a few things, his students will help him avenge him!"

"Brother Songsheng, I'm not sure about it. This is what I'm worried about."

"Blog, this should be awesome, why are you worried?"

"Brother Songsheng, Qian Junchen, you should remember that before the New Year, he not only asked someone to bring a few hundred taels of silver, but also asked someone to bring a letter."

"Remember, what did he say in the letter?"

"He seemed to have climbed up to Chonglun's high branch and got very close to Chonglun. If he forced Lord Wu to lead his troops to fight against him, he would have a share. Even if Lord Wu's students could not deal with Chonglun, it would be easy to deal with him. "Looking at everyone's thoughtful look, Ji Yunfei said with a bitter face: "No matter what, he is a fellow villager with us. He had no money before and could only cheat him. Now that he has some money, he has never forgotten us fellow villager in Beijing."

"What should I do? You can't be right or wrong!"

"How about this, I'll send him a letter and give him a reminder."

"What's the use of reminding me alone?" Li Pinsan asked subconsciously.

Ji Yunfei pondered and said, "If he could listen and know our good intentions, then he would have time to go to Hunan to apologize to Zeng Guofan. If he couldn't listen and didn't take it seriously, there would be nothing he could do. Anyway, as fellow villagers, we have done our best."

Huang Zhongyin also felt that she could not help her, so she nodded slightly: "Okay, just do it."

What they thought of Qian Junchen, and what Han Xiufeng thought of was another person. He subconsciously looked up and said, "Brother Yongfeng, Brother Bowen, should I also send a letter to Lord Wu's younger brother Wu Wenxi, and also remind Wu Wenxi."

Huang Zhongyin was stunned and immediately reacted.

Wu Wenrong is an honest official, but Wu Wenxi's official reputation is not as good as his brother Wu Wenrong. Now Wu Wenrong's life and death are uncertain, and there are many dangers and many people push them. It is hard to say whether he will take the opportunity to impeach him. After all, Sichuan salt tea ceremony is a fat and flaw. More importantly, Wu Wenxi is investigated for small work, and it would be a big deal if Wu Wenrong's reputation is ruined.

But Huang Zhongyin weighed the pros and cons, but still shook her head: "Yingxing, you don't need to mention this awakening, and you can't mention this alert. Others' officials are doing well, so you can't persuade him to resign."

"Thinking about it, I really can't mention this awakening. Why don't Director Zhang send him a letter?"
