Emperor Xianfeng received Jiang Zhongyuan's report and threw it aside angrily, "Hate no one in Anhui!" I can't stop Shi Dakai, although Wang Jinxiu is old in military affairs, he only let Shi Dakai stay under Anqing City for a day, and now I can only look forward to Zeng Guofan giving me some good news! ”

Since Qi Junyu returned to his hometown due to illness, although Prince Gong is only walking on the military plane, he has become the actual foreman of the military aircraft minister, but now he is still outside the plug and has not yet returned, Peng Yunzhang is respected in the military aircraft, Peng Yunzhang thought for a while, relieved Emperor Xianfeng and said: "The emperor must not worry, Jiang Zhongyuan is guarding the Luzhou Mansion, and he has to beware of the twisting thieves on the front line of the Huai River, and it is very likely that he will have a decisive battle with the monk and the king in the future, and he is really not a doppelganger; Wang Jinxiu is used to fighting, Anqing is not lost, Jiangling is just around the corner, this is also his leading troops to become old, and he is just guarding against big folds. ”

"Okay, just order all parts of the country to stick to it, and draw up another decree to see it, don't stay Lu Jianying and Xiang Rong in Jiangnan and Jiangbei to eat dry rice, the purpose of asking them to build a big camp was to contain the rebellion, but now that the rebellion has gone west for the second time, what are they doing, be harsh, so as not to be used to being benevolent, and they won't kill people!"

"Oh, your majesty, Zeng Guofan's regimental training in Jiangxi is extremely good, last year also blocked the rebellion in Jishui County, and now in Poyang Lake Water Division, it must be worry-free, Hubei political envoy Hu Linyi has also sent troops to Jiangxi to support Zeng Guofan, please relax the emperor, this battle will be a big victory."

"These are not enough, the regimental exercises in various places have not been practiced well, only these few are enough, Jiang Zhongyuan, Hu Linyi, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang. There are a few in Henan, which are good. It's a pity that the number of people is too small, and they can't take care of the east but not the west. Emperor Xianfeng walked around the Heart Cultivation Hall irritably. The little eunuch presented a hot towel to wipe his face, Emperor Xianfeng picked it up and was about to wipe his face, but he was dizzy for a while, and sat down on the kang, the little eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and the ministers of military aircraft Peng Yunzhang, Ruilin, Du Han, and Mu Yin also quickly knelt down, "Don't be angry, the Holy Communion is healthy." ”

The Emperor wiped his sweat and felt better. I took another sip of ginseng tea and eased my nerves, "It's okay for me, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night, and the discussion of the Military Aircraft Department, those ministers are still usable, and I will not hesitate to reward them." ”

The ministers of military aircraft look at you look at me, and finally Du Han strengthened his courage, leaned over and said: "Hunan's Zuo Zongtang is good......

The voice did not fall. I only heard the emperor snort coldly, "This person was originally diligent, and I also gave him the position of the military department in the old years, but unfortunately it was very useless." Fan Xie, the chief soldier of Yongzhou Town, Hunan, went to Beijing to play, saying that Zuo Luo and his ilk in Hunan were embarrassed and rampant. insulting the officials of the court, I am about to take him for sin. How can you give him military and political power again! ”

In Hubei, there is Hu Linyi to preside over government affairs; In Jiangxi. There was Zeng Guofan who fought against the Taiping army; In Hunan, there is Zuo Zongtang, the chief staff of Hunan Governor Luo Bingzhang, sitting in the formation. The three Hunan heroes echoed each other, supported each other, and formed a full momentum, constituting a favorable situation for the Hunan army to conquer the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. However, at the same time that Hu Linyi won a series of victories on the battlefield in Anhui, Zuo Zongtang, who was arrogant and pretentious, was involved in a surging political tide and almost died.

Zuo Zongtang is talented, sharp, unscrupulous, and when excited, he can "speak in stride, and the weather is great". After grasping the power of Hunan, he became even more arrogant, and even did not pay attention to Zeng Guofan, and even scolded Zeng Guofan every day. Zeng Guofan also has a grudge against Zuo Zongtang, and the two have always been quite disagreeable. Zuo Zongtang never liked Zeng Guofan's personality, so that people often scolded him. It is said that after Zuo Zongtang knew that Zeng Guofan washed the feet of his concubine every night, he gave him a couplet: "Dairu washes the feet of Mrs. Dairu", which is nothing more than trying to mock and ridicule him. The anxious Zuo Zongtang is not only so arrogant to Zeng Guofan, but also arrogant and disrespectful to Hu Linyi, a world friend.

Fan Xie once served as the chief soldier in Yongzhou, and this person had a very bad official reputation, and his main bad deeds were corruption and arrogance. His situation was reflected in the ears of Zuo Zongtang, who was in charge of the military affairs of a province in the province. Master Zuo has always been a straight man who is not fake, and when he heard this, he was furious and immediately suggested to Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Hunan, that Fan Xie be impeached. Luo Bingzhang immediately went to the impeachment of Fan Xie.

However, Fan Xie was a person with a background, and his official relationship with the governor of Huguang was extraordinary. Before Luo Bingzhang joined him, the official document had already folded to ensure that he was the governor of Hunan.

Zuo Zongtang knew that Fan Xie was an official person, but not only did he not turn rigidity into softness, but instead insulted Fan Xie even more.

In April of the fourth year of Xianfeng, Fan Xie went to the province to ask for training, and Luo Bingzhang asked him to go directly to the Zuo Mansion to wait for treatment. After Fan Xie arrived at Zuo's mansion, he saw that Zuo Zongtang just saluted and did not kneel down to ask for peace, Zuo Zongtang scolded him sharply and said: "When the military attache sees me, he has to ask for peace, how dare you be so lazy?" Please! Fan Xie replied: "How to please An is naturally constrained by the system of the imperial court, although my official position is light, I am also a second-class official of the imperial court, how can I kneel to a master!" Zuo was refuted, couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and scolded: "Bastard, get out!" Fan Xie then used this as evidence to sue Zuo Zongtang to the emperor, saying that he was a "bad scene".

After Emperor Xianfeng recited, Long Yan was furious, and attached great importance to the word "bad curtain threatened", and his good impression of Zuo Zongtang disappeared, so he immediately ordered to investigate the matter, and sent the original performance to Hubei for trial, and instructed: "If Zuo Zongtang has illegal affairs, he can correct the law on the spot." "The case fell into the hands of the official document, and the official document was extraordinarily proud, how could there be any reason to let it go? Zuo Zongtang is usually flamboyant, jealous and hateful, offended many villains, and the officialdom has a lot of opinions about him, and the official document took the opportunity to collect these complaints and sort them out into bad deeds and report them to the imperial court, and finally contributed to Zuo Zongtang's capital crime.

Zuo Zongtang's life is on the verge of death!

When Hu Linyi heard this, he was anxious. Ji Gao, Ji Gao, how many times have I told you to stop being rash and scolding, and now I have poked out such a big man, what should you and I do? What about Hunan? The country can't live without Hunan for a day, and Hunan can't live without you for a day!

didn't have time to think about it, Hu Linyi wrote a letter to Guan Wen, begging Brother Guan Wen to raise his noble hand, Zuo Zongtang's rude things to be more tolerant, and so on. At that time, this case was not trivial, and the officials of the two lakes were silent and did not dare to express their stance rashly, and only Hu Linyi went to the soup for his friend. Although Hu Linyi and Guanwen had a good relationship at this time, and the two were commensurate with each other as brothers, and the fight was hot, but when they encountered substantive problems, the two still faced each other. In this matter, Guan Wen was resolute and did not back down, and after reading the letter, he sneered: "Hmph, can you come back to life with your Runzhi's words?" Zuo Zongtang is arrogant, and if he doesn't take my official in his eyes, he will never give up on this matter! Hu Linyi knew that he couldn't ask for it, and he didn't want to fight with the official text, so he looked for an exit from elsewhere, even if he mediated to the end, he had to rescue Zuo Zongtang. Soon, he came up with four methods, which were foolproof and fully guaranteed Zuo Zongtang's life.

Emperor Shangao is far away, and if he wants to sort out this matter, he must first go to the capital to take care of it and change the emperor's attitude towards Zuo Zongtang. Hu Linyi thought of Guo Songtao and Wang Minyun in Beijing, so he wrote to them overnight, instructing them to intercede with Su Shun, the emperor's most favored minister, and Pan Zuying, a trial bachelor, to rescue Zuo Zongtang.
